FRANCE.

The Emperor has received, at a private audience,
Count de Moltke, Minister of the King of Den-
mark, who presented a letter from his Sovereign,
notifying the birth of the Princess Thyra Amalie
Caroline Charlotte Anne, daughter of Prince Chris-
tian of Denmark.

Monday afternoon the Emperor and Empress
proceeded in a carriage and four to the Bois de
Boulogne, attended only by a lady of honour and
by MM. de Beville and Valabreque. Their Ma-
jesties alighted at the Porte Dauphine, and walked
as far as the Rond Point de Mortemart. They
afterwards re-entered the carriage, and proceeded
to the Boulevard de Strasbourg. Throughout
their drive their Majesties were everywhere hailed
with loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur 1" " Vive
l'lmperatrice !"

A-report from M. Bineau, Minister of Finance,
recommends the distribution into chapters of the
credits fixed by the Legislative Corps for each
Ministerial department for the year 1854. As the
Ministry of Police has since then been suppressed,
and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce been
re-established, with that of Public Works attached
to it, a part of the credits previously allowed have
become available. The Emperor having ordered
that a saving of 100,000 f. should be effected out of
the said credits, the sum of 1,516,720,459 f. would be-
come available as the expenses of the year. A de-
cree follows, approving of the proposed distribution,
and ordering that a saving of 50,000 f. should be
effected in the budget of the Interior, and of
50,000 f. in that of Agriculture, Commerce, and
Public Works. The credits of 23,651,540 f. for the
expenses of the State--of 104,232,550 f. for the
Departmental Service—and of 21,362,200 f. for the
Colonies—are to be hereafter distributed by special
decrees, inserted in the Bulletin des Lois.
The &hie having, in its number of Dec. 9, repre-
sented the arrest of M. Hubbard, the advocate, as
an interference with the freedom of defence usually
allowed to prisoners' counsel, whereas in reality
that persuu was arrested under the charge of being
affiliated to a secret society, the Minister of the
Interior has given a first warralig to that journal

GERMAN ROYALTY IN PERIL. —The Duke and Duchess
of Saxe-Coburg Gotha were placed in great danger on
the 3d inst. The Duke was driving his consort from the
palace near Coburg, when the wheel of the carriage
passed over a large stone, and he was thrown out, losing
hold of the reins. The frightened horses ran away with
the carriage down a hill, and brought the vehicle into
violent collision with a post. The carriage was com-
pletely destroyed, yet the Duchess, who was in it, was
not the least hurt. The Duke escaped with a sprained
foot.

THE WINE DUTIES.-MR. OLIVEIRA.

A great and favourable result, as far as French inte-
rests are concerned, has been produced by Mr. Oliveira's
visit to Bordeaux. The honourable member for Ponte-
fract, who is collecting from the best sources in all the
wine countries various data to give full effect to his
statement in the approaching session, recently visited
the city of Bordeaux, and the enlightened commercial
magnates of that important place, not only placed at his
disposal all the information with respect to the produce
price, and capability of supply which were necessary for
the purpose, but they manifested so much sympathy
for the question in which Mr. Olivera is engaged as to
produce some very complimentary results.

A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was
convened in the splendid Hall of the Bourse to re-
ceive Mr. Oliveira, and the Vice-president, Mr. Berlin,
entered very fully into all the questions, commercial,
moral, and international, expressing an earnest hope
that Mr. Oliveira's efforts might be successful, as well for
the interests of Bordeaux as those of the wine districts of
France generally, and the still higher claims of inter-
national friendship and alliance, to all of which Mr.
Oliveira gave a cordial response, referring especially to
the advantages he expected to obtain for British inte-
rests in the shape of increased revenue, improved
morality, greater improvement for British shipping, and
an augmented intercourse with the French nation.
Subsequently the Chamber of Commerce invited
pad
Oliveira to an official dinner, a compliment rare?' vi";;;.

chants and municipal body were all present,

From the latest news from Ticino arrived at

with greater strictness. An Austrian commissar/

Lombard village, surrounded by the Ticinese ter
ritory.

the same movements, as if guided by the power of electricity. This
performance is particularly recommended to the notice of the Ama-

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

BETTING-ROOM, MONDAY NlGHT.—Turfites from all
parts of the kingdom thronged the room until midnight,
but a very large majority consisted of bookmakers,
great and little. Backers of horses. were so scarce that
speculation dragged its slow length along most lan-
guidly. To the best of our recollection the betting on
the Cambridgeshire was never so limited, unsettled, and
uninteresting. The quotations at the close tallied, for
the most part, with the list of prices made up to the
time of dispatching our parcel in the afternoon. The
only changes of impottanco were the advance of Ra6,-
plan to 12 to 1, and the retrogression of Mistletoe to 20
to 1, laid to 1001. In the course of his upward progress
from 25 to 1, Rataplan was backed for a good deal o'
money.

LIVERPOOL, 00T. 25.
At this day's market there was an extensive business
done in wheat (chiefly fine white American) at an advance
of fully 4d per 701 b. on prices of this day week ; inferior
descriptions, however, were not above ld to 2d per 701 b•
dearer. Barrel flour generally held at an advance of 2s to
2s 6d per barrel, which checked sales. Sack flour may be
quoted 18 per sack dearer. Oats the turn dearer, and oat-
meal more inquired for at an improvement of to- Is:per
load. Egyptian beans advanced is to 2s per qr.
and peas without change. Indian corn (best yellow) in
store brought 425, and white 44s to 45s per qr., being 511
advance of 2s to 3s per qr. on, the week. Barley

was only small. The sale of both wheat and barley Pro.

Vance of 3s per qr. on wheat and 2s 6d per qr. on bagel
fully realised. Only a sample or two of Windsor beans°

THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.-THIS
EVENING.—Mr. E. T. SMITH, Lessee, begs emphatically
to acknowledge the almost unparalleled support with which his en-
deavours to resuscitate the national drama on the boards of old
Drury have been reciprocated by the overflow of admiring and dis-
criminating audiences, who have nightly hailed the appearance of
Mr. G. V. Brooke in the varied Shaksperian and other illustrations
of the national drama, which that eminent actor has had the honour
to demonstrate. The engagement of Mr. Brooke as a matter of
necessity has expired, and another and very different field of ope-
rations presents itseifte the manager's enterprise, in catering for the
tastes and requirements of his patrons, the British public. In fur-
therance of these objects, Mr. Smith has infinite pleasure in an-
nouncing the engagement of a galaxy of
EQUESTRIAN TALENT.

never before assembled conjunctively, even in this, the Metropolis
of Nations. The classical development of the Hippodramatic Art
will, by the combined excellence of the artists engaged, obtain a
triumph unmatched in the history of such performances. Not only
has no expense been spared, but, in making arrangements, a wise
discretion, the result of a deliberative council in science, has been
observed in the selection of distinguished public favourites, as well as
meritorious candidates for London approbation. Earnestly but re-
spectfully soliciting a continuation of that support, which he grate-
fully recognises, he does himself the honour of submitting the fol-
lowing programme, in confirmation of the integrity of his address
and intentions:—

The increase in the price of provisions in

has awakened the solicitude of the Government,
and it is about to diminish the cost of the convey

on the State railways. The bakers of Vienna are
so much embarrassed by the want of money, that
they wish to borrow 400,000 florins from the
Municipal Council without interest.

CORPORATION REFORM.

Subjoined is the copy of a letter which has been ad-
dressed to the Lord May or by Mr. Coleridge, the Secre-
tary to the Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire
into the state of the Corporation of the City of London.
It is somewhat remarkable that the letter does not state
the date when the commissioners will assemble, while
the paragraph with reference to supplying printed copies
of the evidence to the persons " more particularly in-
terested in the proceedings" would seem to indicate that
those proceedings are to be conducted in private :
" Downing-street, Oct. 22, 1853.
"My Lord,—l am directed by the Commissioners fur
inquiring into the state of the Corporation of the City of
thei first
London to inform your Lordship h
er official ere

taken into consideration the course of their future pro_
ceedings.

stitution of the city of Londonlo

the evidence of

pre-
sent state and government of the corporation, At a future
stage of the inquiry, the commissioners willbe prepared
to examine the officers of the corporation.
With a view to afford the requisite information as
speedily as possible to the persons more particularly in-
terested in the proceedings of the
com-
missioners will take steps to communicatecon commission, ot ,e
ntilie printedcopies of the evidence taken before them from time to
time.

"I am, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient servant,
" J. D. COLERIDGE, Secretary.
"The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."
It may be stated that Mr. Coleridge, the secretary, is
a son of one of the learned commissioners, and the ne-
phew of another.

THE YELLOW FEVER AT BERMUDA.

A private letter from Bermuda, dated Septem-
ber 22, says :
" The yellow fever now at St. George's is the most
awful visitation I have ever known. Bad as it was in

1843, it is now ten times worse. Almost every one of
the officers and their ladies who have been attacked have
sunk under it. They say it is the very worst type of
yellow fever, quite hke the African fever. Poor Cap-
tain and Mrs. Hare are both gone. She was attacked
first, and died after about five days' illness ; he, poor
fellow ! was taken ill on the day she died, and expired
on the third day.
" We are at this moment, and have been since Sun-
day, without a Governor. Colonel Philpotts died on
that day, and Colonel Robe, who was the next senior
officer, was buried this morning. Major Oakley, the
next, is in a very precarious state, having been taken ill
on Monday, and until it is seen how his illness termi-
nates, we must remain without a Governor. Major
Ryles, of the 56th Regiment will be the senior military
officer ; he has only had his majority two or three
months. This is a fearful state of things.
" This fever does not attack the natives as yet, or
rather, only their children.
"It has reached Ireland Island, but is not near so
bad as at St. George's Island. It has not yet reached
the main island, Hamilton, and as there are very few
soldiers and no convicts, we hope to escape.
"The officers of the Ordinance have suffered fright-
fully ; only one clerk is left in that department. All the
artillery and engineer officers at St. George's are ill,
and also the wives of those who are married.
"Mrs. Robe, wife of Colonel Robe, is ill, but not
dangerously.
" There is great want of medical assistance. In the
Sampson they had only four medical men ; two of them
were taken ill very early, one of them is dead, the other
better. Private practitioners receive 51. a day for going
to St. George's.

"To-morrow is the day set apart for prayer and hu-.
miliation in all the churches, and both the poor men
who ordered it are gone to their account.
"To-day the wife of Lieutenant Whitmore, of the
Engineers is reported dead."

SECRET SERVICE.—It appears that in the year ended
the sth of January last the home secret service cost the
country 10,0001., the foreign secret service 31,3001.,
and the secret service (Ireland) 4,615/.
Two MEN POISONED BY the EXHALATIONS FROM A
CESSPOOL.—Between twelve and one o'clock on Monday
morning, a man named Adcock and three assistants were
engaged in emptying a cesspool belonging to an empty
house in Pelham-street, Spitalfields, which was ordered
to be cleansed by the sanitary authorities. One of the
party named Walker, was descending a ladder into .the
receptacle, when he suddenly fell backwards into the
soil, Adcock immediately went to his assistance, but
only to share the same fate. They were both extricated
as quickly as possible, but they were found to be quite
dead,
