FRANCE.

Most of the Paris journals of yesterday appear
without, leading articles, and what there is in the
original columns is destitute of interest for the
general reader.
The Emperor has just nominated Admiral Her-
noux to the command of the naval division of the
Adniiral Guerin to that of the Indo-
Chinese division, and Admiral Larocque de Cliau-
fray to that of the division of Brazil and La Plata.
Count Theodore de Lameth, general-de-brigade
and officer of the Legion of Honour, has just died,
aged 99, at the chateau of Busagny, near Pontoise.
He was the senior general in the French army.
Vicomte Lemercier, deputy in the Legislative
Body for the department of the Charente, died on
Thursday. His funeral took place yesterday.

and a rush was male to the raft ; a large number

trot upon it and into the boats. The sea was then
flush with the dead lights' and in a few mo-
ments more the Arctic sank, and all on board

perished. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of th 3 28th
the survivors in the boat espied a sail, and raised a
handkerchief to attract attention, which they
succeeded in doing, and found the vessel to be the
bark Huron, bound for Quebec, which took them
all on board. The raft was seen in the distance
with one man clinging to it ; he was rescued, and
stated that after the steamship sank he counted
72 men and four women on the raft, but at half-
past eight he was the sole survivor. During the
night of the 28th Captain Wall, of the Huron, fired
rockets, and kept a horn blowing, but no others
were found. He afterwards fell in with a vessel,
which took 18 of the survivors from the Huron,
and afterwards transferred them to a pilot-boat,
which landed them at Boston. The fate of the
other boats was not known. -

The captain of the Huron, on the morning of the
28th, saw a singular looking craft bear to leeward,
but was unable to tell whether she was a steamer
or a sailing vessel. The following is a list of those
saved in the sixth boat, and taken to Quebec by
the Huron :

The ship's cook, 15 firemen, Thos. Watson, as-
sistant-engineer, three waiters, passengers—Nicolls,
Henry Jenkins, James Thompson, Captain Graan,
George H. Burns, Francis Doran, third officer of
the Arctic, Thomas Brennan, assistant-engineer,
and five waiters were also saved: the persons known
to be in the ship's boat, but who had not turned
up, were,—Gurley, first officer ; Baalham, second
officer ; Graham, fourth officer ; W. Moon, pas-
senger, the boatswain, the chief and seven assistant-
engineers, and four firemen.
The accounts in the Boston papers are very in-
complete and unsatisfactory ; some of the boats
remain unaccounted for. A David Cannon is re-
ported saved, but it requires confirmation.
The following is the latest by telegraph via
Halifax :
" NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—There is good reason to
believe that the Collins family and many additional
passengers are saved.
" The ship Harvest Queen had 74 deaths on her
passage to New York.
" The Government had consented to admit 0010-;
nial fish free immediately.
" The boilers of the lake steamer E. K. Collins
had exploded, killing 23 persons.
" The Indiana free banks paper had been refused.
" On the Ist of October .everything was quiet at
San Juan. In the interior Chomono still held his
position in the Plaza of Grenada, and had taken
the three schooners on the lake, constituting Cas-
tillon's fleet.
" The democrats had been successful in the Cali-
fornian State elections.
" Nearly two million dollars in specie had been
shipped from San Francisco by two steamers.
" Business at San Francisco had improved. On
the 10th there was a further decline in the New
York stock-market, which was in a depressed state.
" Foreign exchange was inactive—on London

109 to 110; there was an active demand for money,
but the increasing rakes of interest and the falling
off in stock speculation had brought out more capi-
tal, and business paper was current at 12 per cent.
" No change had occurred in the cotton market.
The corn market had advanced. Freights to Li-
verpool steady, with rather more offering.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY NIGHT.

The United States' mail steam-ship Hermann,
Captain E. Higgins, arrived off Cowes this even-
ing on her way to Bremen, having left New York
the morning of the Bth inst.
She brings 94 passengers, and specie value
218,000 dols., for England and the continent. On
the Bth inst. the Hermann spoke the Bremen mail
steamer Hansa, 50 miles east of Sandy Hook, and
on the 19th the steam-ship Germania, from New
York bound to Brrmen, in latitude 49 30, longi•
tude 15 50 W.
The Cunard steam-ship Canada arrived at Nevr
York from Liverpool on the morning of the 6th
inst.

We regret to say that the Hermann brings no
news whatever respecting the ill-fated steamer
Arctic. Her loss was not known in New York
when the Hermann lelt, although considerable
anxiety was felt at her non-arrival.
There is no news of great political importance
by this steamer, but the Herald announces a new
expedition to San Juan Nicaragua.
With regard to the revolution in Mexico, we
read in the Herald :
"Our accounts of the progress of the insurgents in
the northern departments of Mexico are very conflict-
ing. On the ono hand it is stated that the revolutionists
have taken possession of several important towns in
New Leon, including Monterey, the stronghold which
General Ta)lor found it so difficult to capture ; and, on
the other hand, it is reported by private letters received
at New Orleans that the rebels have been dispersed.
The probability, however, is that the popular cause is
making considerable progress, although the material
aid rendered to Santa Anna by our Government may
enable him to protract the struggle."
No change of note had occurred in the New
York money-market, and prices had not further
declined.

THE INDIA MAIL.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY, 12.30 p.m.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Indus, with the heavy portion of the East
India and China mails, passed Hurst Castle a. little
after eleven a.m. She will therefore shortly arrive,
and her mails will be forwarded by an early train
this afternoon.

On Saturday, Mr. B ricer held an inquest at the Three
Mariners, Ropemaker's•fields, Lirnehouse, on view of
the body of Elizabeth Horne, aged 45, a married wo-
man, who resided in White's-rents adjoining, and whose
death was the effect of an attack of Asiatic cholera.—
Verdict, "That the deceased appeared to have died from
natural causes."
FRAUDS BY A PRETENDED NEWSPAPER AGENT.-011
Saturday a reward of 301. was offered for the apprehen-
sion of a fellow of the name of Rudolph Nicholas Free-
man, with other names, who, independent of obtatning
goods by false pretences, has, in some instances, repre-
sented to his "sufferers" that he had long been an adver-
tising newspaper agent and proprietor. About 27 years
old, 5 feet 10 inches high, hair very black and long, dark
ey es and complexion, speaks tolerably good English,
with a Germau, or rather Jewish expression of coun-
ter ance.
PLATE ROBBERY IN THE HAYMARIKET.-00 Saturday
information was given that on the previous day an ex-
tensive robbery had been effected at the store-rooms of
Messrs. Hibbert and Co., James'-street, Haymarket, and
the following articles stolen :—A. silver teapot and create-
jug, a silver coffeepot, engraved ; a silver saucepan, two
salt-spoons, two dessert-spoons, a gold ring set with
diamonds, and a great many other valuable articles.
The Liverpool papers announce the arrival of Father
Mathew in that town on Thursday night from Cork
preparatory to his departure for Madeira, the genial
climate of which, it is hoped, will have the effect of re-
invigorating his constitution.
CLOSUTG OF BURIAL GROUNDS.—Friday's Gazette
contains numerous orders in council, passed on Wednes-
day the 18th inst., for the closing of a great number of
burial-grounds in different parts of the country. Burials
are to be discontinued in the following places in Lon-
don Wesleyan Chapel burial-ground, Stafford-street,
Camberwell, and the Roman Catholic burial-ground, St.
Mary, Islington, after the 28th inst. In Mortlake
churchyard, after the Ist of December, 1854. In the
burial-ground of St. George the Martyr, Queen-square,
after the Ist of April, 1855. In the Quakers' burial-
ground, Long-lane, Bermondsey, after the let of June,
1855. In the vaults of St. Peter's, Bethnal-green, after
the Ist of January, 1855. In the church of St. Mary,
Stoke Newington, and the Abney Chapel-ground, from
the present date, and in the churchyard of St, Mary,
after the Ist of August, 1855. In Tottenham Church,
from the present date ; and in the churchyard, the Wes-
leyan Methodist Chapel and Brook-street grounds, after
the Ist of July, 1855.
DEATH OF SIR CHARLES HULSB, BART.—We have to
announce the demise of the above venerable baronet,
nephew of the late Field-Marshal the Right Hon. Sir
Samuel Hulse, who died on Wednesday, at his seat,
near Southampton. He was son of Sir Edward, the
third baronet, whom he succeeded in September, 1816.
He was born in 1771, and married, July 5, 1808, Maria,
second daughter of the late Mr. John Buller, of Morval,
Cornwall, by whom he loaves a large family. The de-
ceased baronet is succeeded by his eldest son Edward,
born in 1809. The late baronet was a deputy lieutenant
of Hants.
Married, at the cathedral church of Lismore, by the
Venerable Ambrose Power, archdeacon of the diocese,
and cousin of the bridegroom, Gervase Henry Busher,
Esq., son of the late Rev. William Bushe, rector of St.
George's Church, Dublin, to Isabella, eldest daughter
of Ballysaggartmore. The lovely
of Arthur Usher, Esq.,
bride was attired in a magnificent dress of Chantilly lace
over white satin trimmed with white lilies and orange
blossoms, with veil and wreath to correspond, and was
attended to the altar by nine youthful bridesmaids. The
bridegroom was accompanied by his brother, Captain
Bushe, of the 7th Hussars. After the dejeuner, the
happy pair started for Killarney.
THE PATRIOTIC FUND.—It is in contemplation that a
large meeting should be held in the city, in the middle
of the ensuing week, in aid of the Patriotic Fund for the
widows and orphans of those who may fall in the pre-
sent war. The step would have been taken earlier but
for the absence from town of some of the very few per-
sons connected with the city included in the Royal corn
mission. Considering that several of the members of the
Old Patriotic Fund still remain, and that it is from the
mercantile classes of London that the largest amounts
arc received in almost all public subscriptions, the mis-
take in limiting the present commission so as not to in.
elude any proportion of merchants and bankers has been
a subject of remark,—Tinter.

A telegraphic despatch, dated yesterday, 5g
Berlin, states that at St. Petersburg, on the 22d 25
inst., accounts, dated the 15th and 16th October, ,5
from the Crimea had reached that place, sent by St
Prince Menschikoff, in which it is mentioned that 20
the Allies had succeeded in raising their batteries, St
but that the Russian artillery was so excellently
St
placed as to have prevented their opening fire up 8t
to that date. This is later news than we have yet St
had by any other opportunity.

12,576 ounces of gold. st
The New York accounts, brought by the steamer to
Hermann, state there was rather more activity in €
public stocks at the latest date, but the quotations
were fluctuating. Money was in more request, and ssCt
the large exportation of specie would cause contrac-
tion on the part of the banks, as it was much in 2(
excess of the receipts. In about a month, how-
ever, it is considered the money market woul be- 2i
come easier. The exchange on England wad s de-
dining, and shortly regular semi-monthly arrivals
16
would take place from San Francisco. Flour had St.
an improved tendency, cotton was steady, and 25
freights, since the arrival out of the Canada, ruled 20
firmer. The dry goods trade was rather more ac- '
,
tive, and the prices realised were higher, except for '2O
German sorts, which went off heavily.
The English Stock Market has been rather firm, go
although not active, but the further advance of 4s. 10
to ss. in the price of wheat, making Bs. to 10s. since
last Monday, has some effect in checking an im-
provement in the funds. Money in the discount 105
market is reported to be easy. Consols have 20
realised 941 to 94i• for transfer, and 941 for 20
account. The New 31 per Cents. have been quoted
93i to 931, and the 3 per Cents. 93,1- to 1. Bank 172
Stock has been supported at 211, and East India ro
Stock at 232. The premium on Exchequer Bills 200
has been ss. to Sc., and on India Bonds 11s. 0
Foreign Securities have been quiet. Mexican E

have been quoted 99/. Sardinian Stock is worth po
