HALF-PAST ONE.

In the early part of the morning the British market was
in a heavy state, but the speculators, on mature reflection,
found, according to Lorri Melbourne's explanation in the
House of Lords last night, in respect to the Northern
Powers, that, the treaty not being ratified, it is expected
that the peace of Europe will be maintained. Consols
rather improved on the above prevailing and general
opinion,• and were done at som ; at present may be quo-
ted 901 for the Account ; Exchequer Bills 25 23, lower ;
India Bonds 1 prem. 1 discount.

one, is going off well. To this hour Spanish, 251 26 ;

EXTENSIVE FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE.—
Between one and two o'clock, as a watchman was passing the
shop of Mr. Fowler, a cork-cutter, No. 17, Little Eastcheap,
Lower Thames-street, he discovered a fire raging in the shop.
The man apprised the family of their danger, and sprang his
rattle, when several brother officers ran to his assistance. They
broke open the shop door, but by so doing the current of air
forced the flames in a few seconds into every room in the house,
and by two o'clock every article of furniture, stock, books, &c.,
were entirely destroyed. The loss is estimated at 6001., part
of which only is insured in the Phcenix Fire-cffice. The
family escaped without injury.
On Tuesday night, a few minutes before 11,
some excitement prevailed in Shoe-lane, Holborn, in come-
quence of cries of " murder" from the upper part of No. 59,
the lower part of which is occupied by Mr. Procter, plumber.
Mallett, the beadle, who resides next door, followed by
several others, rushed up the stairs whence the cries proceeded,
and at the top landing they discovered a man named Obadiah
Whiting, bleeding profusely from several large and deep wounds
in the head, face, and neck, which had evidently been inflicted
with a knife. As soon as he saw Mallett he cried out, " Foc
God's sake, Mr. Mallett, take me away—l am a murdered
man," and in tantly fell into his arms. Having procured as-
sistance, Mallett conveyed the unfortunate man to St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, when it was ascertained t at he had received
no less than eight differelit wounds, some of them of a most
dangerous and painful description. Among the rest was that of
the nose, which was nearly severed from the face. On inquiry
this morning at the hospital it was ascertained that he was
going on as well as could be expected, but he is by no means
considered out of danger. The origin of the attack arose, it is
said, as follows :—Whiting discovered that his wife had become
acquainted with a woman whose character he did not approve
of, and he suggested the rropricty of discontinuing such ac-
quaintance. She, however, refused, an:l last night, as he was
proceeding up stairs he met his wife's acquaintance, who had
evidently just left his room. She spoke to him as she passed;
he, however, said nothing in reply, and passed to his room,
where he discovered that she had left her bonnet behind, when
he became so enraged that he thrust the bonnet into the fire,
and his wife instantly commenced her attack upon him ; he,
however, feels assured that he had more than one assailant, but
is not positive, as the light was put out at the onset.
In consequence of the competition on the road
hence to Ramsgate, the fares are reduced by coach, 23 mires,
to 2s. outside and 3s. inside passengers ; also the stages hence
to Margate are at present running at half price, and by the
omnihusses as low as 3d. each passenger.—Dover Chronicle.
READING RACES.—A project .has been set on
foot for the revival of Reading Races, which have been discon-
tinued for some years past. They were formerly held on Bul-
marsh Heath, and attracted a large concourse of people. It is now
proposed to hold them in the King's Meadow, close by the line of
the Great Western Railway, and contiguous to the Reading
station, so that the easiness of access may induce persons to
come from the metropolis. The proposed a..rangements will
soon be laid before the public.
RIOTS IN HOLLAND.—ROTTERDAM, JULY
27.—At the beginning of last week very serious disturbances
took place among the workmen employed in draining the Zuid-
plas. 1 hey comnienced on the 20th in the afternoon atZeven.
huizen, where three workmen (two of whom are arrested, the
third having fled) came into the Polder with a red flag, and
endeavoured to prevent the other workmen, 1,500 in number,
from proceeding with their work. The number of
those who joined them was so great that the work
was stopped in the whole Polder, and several of the
workmen were beaten and ill used. This disorder
confirmed on Tuesday and Wednesday, though a detachment of
infantry had arrived from Gouda, and a detachment of cuiras-
siers from Leyden. On Wednesday the officer of the tribunal
of this place having received information of the affair, imme-
diately repaired to the spot, and caused the whole garrison sal'
Gouda to occupy in the night all the entrances to the Polder,
together with a number of police officers, the happy result of
which was, that on Thursday most of the men returned to their
work, and tranquillity has been no further disturbed.

THE GLORIOUS DAYS OF JUL .1

TRANsLATTON OF THE REMAINS OF THE VICTIMS OF JULY,
iN►l 1e4t,F1t1R41197,.0t ;Tilt Cott' n AT T►iE PLACE TIE
LA BASTILE ON THE 28TH o'i

This ceremony took place on Tuesday, under somewhat
favourable auspices. The weather was cloudy, though no
rain intervened, so that there was neither an excess of heat
nor dttt.t. As eorly as eight oielock all the streets and
avenues leading to the Louvre anti ih6 4aeent tletys wette
blocked up by the military, and no person was permitted to
enter the area in front of the church of St. Germain
l'Auxerrois but the civil and military officers who were to
t,,,ke part in the cortege, and persons who had been pro-
vided with tickets. There *ere battalions of National
Guards and trodps or tile liiie, together. with Municipal
Guards, sergens de ville, and police agents, stationed at
every avenue leading to the church. The facade of this
edifice and of the interior, presented a solemn and impos-
ing effect; indeed the lighting up a profusion of chando-
; hers and wax tapers, ddurled With the t.,-..)Fttly hangings in
black bordered with silver, tended in no small degrUe
add to the solemnity of the occasion. In order to exclude
daylight the windows were covered over with black cur-
tains. In the middle of the nave a rnat,nificent catafalque
was erected, in which were deposited fifty coffins, each con-
taining ten bodies. All the authorities and personage. of
distinction being assembled, the service commenced at
nine precisely. Cherubini's funeral mass Was porlarrned
by a chorus and instrumental hand of about 2bo performers
from the Conservatoire, assisted by MM. Derivis, Alexis
Dupont, and Pouehard, under the able direr Lion of M.
Habentek, of the Academic Royale. The Ministers of
the Interor and Public Works, the Prefects of the
Seine and Police, the Municipality, and the Staff officers
of the National Guard and the garrison were placed in the
sanctuary. The catafalque was surrounded by a picket
guard, composed of non-commissioned offieera n..nd sol-
diors decorated with the order of July. Both sides of the
nave were lined with files of the National Guards and
soluiurs of the Line. At a quarter past ten the service
was concluded, and the coffins, which had remained under
the catafalque from Monday evening, were carried by men
chost.n from the third regiment of Artillery, and ranged
inn the grand funeral car, which had been brought to the
dour of the church during the service.
The car consisted of an immense oblong basement, or
body, on six wheels, surmounted by a colossal sarcophagus
of the ant.que form. The whole was covered with black
velvet, bordered with silver, and surrounded by a vast ega-
talque, also in black velvet. At the front and back of the
sale,)pliagui was a lion; and on each side were large
t s utcheons b, aring the ciphers 27, 28, 29, Juillet, 1830.
Wncn all was ready the procession b,tgan to move in the

fiillortinir° order :—A.squaci,on of cuitai;:ers ; the Lieut..
Genera Command nt of Paris, with his staff; detach-
ments of cavalry, artillery, and infantry of the line; all the
drummers of the regular troops, ceminanded by one ser-
vant-major ; the Lieutenant-General Commandant of the
first military division ; a detachment of cavalry; ditto
cavalry of National Guard; a corps of musicians, directed
by M. Berk z, preceded and followed by detachments of
National Guards; Marshal Gerard, as Commander-in-
Chit fof the National Guard, with his staff; the Ministers
of the Interior and Public Works; mourning carriages
cons eying the clergy of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois; the
funeral car, drawn by 24 black horses, four and four, each
row of horsts led by a groom on each side ; the course of
the vehicle behind being directed by fifty artillerymen with
pules ani ropes, assisted by men of the Pomprs Funebres ;
a deputation of the Decor 6; de Juillet, twelve hundred in
number ; the Prefect of the Seine and the Municipal
Council; a detachment of Municipal Guards and infantry
of the line ; the legions of the National Guard ; cavalry of
the National Guard; detachments of infantry of the line
and cavalry.
The car was at first stopped by an accident, which pro-
duced a momentary confusion. In turning the corner of
the Place Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, and the street which
leads to the Quay, OHO of the hind wheels of the car got
locked, and nearly threw the enormous mass over. This

naturally created a panic among all present, and the
spectators fled with precipitltion. Several were thrown

. .
down and trodden upon, and one, it is feared, was seriously
hurt. Order was, however, soon restored; in a quarter
of an hour the obstacle was removed, and the procession
resumed its march, the band playing the solemn funeral
march composed by M. Berlioz. As the train passed by
the Louvre, the King appeared at one of the windows,
surrounded by the Royal Family, and attended by the
President of the Council. His Majesty repeatedly saluted
the procession, and remained uncovered as long as the
car was in front. The King was in return greeted with
acclamations.

All along the line of march followed by the procession
order was kept by the Alunieipal Guards and troops of the
line stationed at intervals, and the soldiers all presented
arms as the ear passed them.
Oa arriving at the Place de la Bastile, which was at
two o'clock, the car was drawn under the temple erected

in front of the column, and preparations fur the absalution
were made.

At six in the morning, when the guns were first fired,
the veil with which the column and the figure of Liberty
on the tep bad been covered was withdrawn ; but a long
s'.rearner of black crape, spangled with silver stars,
floated to the base, and mingled with the tri-coloured
fftgs. At eight o'clock the 9.h legion of the National
Guard took up its station in the area, and soon after-
wards the eight circular tribunes, and two pavilions
erected round the square of the column, were occupied
by upwards of six thousand persons, who had receiveu
tickets. On the right of the temple were placed the rela-
tions of the victims, and on the left other persons who had
followed. On the reserved elevated seats were placed the
clergy, the Ministers of the Interior and Puble Works,
Manila' Gerard and his Staff, the Prefects, the Municipal
Body, numerous civil and military officers, and deputa-
tions of the members of the order of July ; the rest of
those, oecorated with the insignia of the order, being
ranged round the base of the column. The horses has-
tug been taken from the car the coffins were exposed,
and the clergy went down Into the vaults to consecrate
the tombs for their reception. Tins receptacle fur the
dead is entered through a bronze door in the circular base
lending into a peristyle or vestibule to the staircase which
ascends the coluam, and at the same time to the tombs.
On turn ng to the rat h is lou .d a circular corridor paved
with avh.te marble, relieved with crosses and stars of black
marble, arid lighted from windows of painted glass. After
descending a few steps the funeral vaults are entered by
four cast-iron doors ornamented with rich open work.
Each vault contains one vast sarcophaguz, fourteen yards
in length, one in width, and one in depth. Very large
flag stories were placed by their sides, ready to form the
covering. On returning from Cie vaults the clergy per-
formed the absolution, and M. Berlioz's grand symphony
was executed by a numerous orchestra. The coffins were
then carried into the vaults, and the ceremonies of the day
concluded with the troops filing off round the column.
The number of the National Guards present at this we-
rawly is estimated at 60.000.
The Gazette de France asserts that some of the specta.
tors on the Boulevard du Temple shouted " Vive la Re.
forme I" yesterday as the Ministers of the Interior and
Public Works passed, and that their cries were repeated
by some of the National Guards, and especially by a legion
of the Banlieue.
Yesterday evening (Tuesday) the most perfect tranquil-
lity reigned, and it is confidently anticipated that the fetes
this year will pass off witnout any symptoms of disturbance
being manifested.—Morning Post.
