EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

The Moniteur of Friday (yesterday) publishes a Royal
ordinance, appointing M. Maurice Duval, former Prefect of
Nantes, Extraordinary Commissioner of the Government, and
Provisional Prefect of Toulouse.

M. Duval left Paris for that destination on Thursday evening.
According to the Moniteur Parisien tranquillity had not
been disturbed in Toulouse since the departure of M. Mahul,
although there were still some symptoms of effervescence ob-
servable among the population on the 14th.
The' Emancipation of the lath brings the rartieulars of the
occurrences in that city on the 12th and 13th.
At noon, on the 12th, a large body of men, armed with
sticks, proceeded to the Veterinary School to invite the .stu-
dents to join theM, but the latter had been fortunately confined
by their. chief. This ttililtitude then repaired to the Place St.
Etienne, and WWI, erecting a number of barricades, at five
o'clock they advanced against the Prefecture:
11. Atahul, at the earnest suggestieb of thii t.inli3sraey Mayor,
M. Arzac, ordered the Naliettat Guard to be called out, but
before this could be effected a collision took plaee.between the
rioters and a detachinent Of the Tiraillibefs,, dk Viiibeiinlus in
which a yoking Min *as Riled. Tills irritation was then at
it height 1 in less than an hour 15 or 20 barricades were
established, and the inhabitants haling

ing hottses, where they entrencliettitiPisMieS4 arid tin ebtage-

their appearance. Their presence calmed the popular exas-
peration. In the course of the evening all the pdsts were
evacuated by the troops and iiiireniieri3d 10 thB National
Guards. At ten Weibel a Multitude collected before the house

Cede to this demand, the people proceeded to 'the prison with
the intention of breaking in the doors and rescuing their
friends, when M. Arzac came forward and atinodoced that the
prisoners should be libe, tied in the rrOrnilig. Oh receiving
this tts,uttrice the people desisted front their purpose, and
quietly retired. Early ill the Morning Of the 13th the tele-
graphs were des;rhyeti, and the Mukha] Chart litivleghpti-
tied td M. Mahal that they Wild not insiver ior the publc
tranquillity if he did not resign and withdraw, he obeyed their

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JULY 16. The business

Both Markets are looking very firm.
Upon glancing at the result of the transactions in the pro-
duce markets this week, we are gratified at being enabled to
notice an improvement, not only in regard to prices, but also as
respects the extentof business done. Sugar has risen Is to Is. 6d.
per cwt. Coffee has been firm. Tea has been higher, though as
is always the case after much speculation, it is now down again
slightly, and Indigo has been going off brisker within the last
day or two. As art art so entirely dependent upon our manufac-
turing prosperity, it could not be expected that the latter would
improve, when our export trade is so low, and we only wish
we could speak as favourably of our dry-goods business as we
can of raw produce not consumed in manufactories.
The return of finer weather appears to have made the Fund;
and the Money Market generally more buoyant. The appear-
ance of the harvest is now " all in alt" with commercial men.

COMMERCE OF FRANCE.
(From the Journal des Debats.) •
The external commerce of France amounted in the
year 1840 to two billions, sixty-three millions of francs ;
that is, 113 millions more than in 1839, 171 millions
more than in 1838, and 697 millions more than the de-
cennial average of, from 1827 to 1836.
This generahamount of two billions, sixty-three mil-
ions, is divided almost equally between importation and
exportation : one billion, fifty-two millions for the for-
mer, . and one billion, eleven millions for the latter.
Special Commerce figures in this for one billion, 442 mil-
lions ; that is, 115 millions more than in 1839, 440 more
than the average of from 1827 to 1836.
The 1,442 millions of special commerce give 747 mil-
lions to importation, and -695 millions to exportation.
The increase-, of importation for 1340, compared with
that of 1839, is 97 millions ; that of exportation only
18 millions.
This simple statement of numbers shows that in 1840
our exchanges with the foreigner have made great pro-
gress. Let us examine upon what articles the increase
has taken place. It was said, that the increase was al-
7.nost exclusively upon corn ; the assertion is exaggerated.
The surplus is 113 millions ; therefore the surplus of the
importation of corn is only seven millions to general
commerce ; it is true that it amounts to 22 millions for
Special commerce. The principal cause of the increase
ought much rather to be sought in the importation of
Cotton, which, in 1840, represented a value of 151 mil-
lions, or 60 millions more than in 1839 ; a surplus which
to special commerce, is 23 millions ; this fact denotes an
increase of activity in our industry, and it will be seen
farther on that this conjecture will be confirmed by the
increase of exportation of our cotton tissues. It is just
to remark that the arrivals of cotton in 1839 were very
considerable, on account of the poverty of the harvest in
the United States. Thus the provisionings of 1840 must
have increased by as much.
With cotton, other matters necessary for trade, such as
indigo, silk, linseed, copper, lead, zinc, &c., offered each
rather a large surplus. But wool presents, on the con-
trary, a sensible diminution,-either from the failing of
the manufactures or from a more abundant production of
wool. The former supposition seems little probable, for
the exportation of woollen stuffs Increased a little in
1840. It will, at all events, be impossible to establish
this fact as long as the-Minister of .Commerce will yer-
sist in giving no yearly statistical account of the princi-
pal branches of our internal works and produeC, This
may be difficult ; but we do not think itina possible.-
' The importation of English 'linen thread scarcely in-
creased in 1840. Has it at last found- limits ? We
doubt it, even with the recent rise of the tariff. Wen-.
Ing machinery is powerful in England ; let us make
haste and profit by this respite, in order to bring it into
use in France. An important fact to signalise is the
constant diminution 'of the importation of cattle ; it is
upon this article that our unmerciful taxes ought to be
rediteed. • 'the constmiption of our colonial sugars shows
in 1840 a great stirpitis," • • •
The exPortatiofis of -cur: Wines and brandy increased
in 1840, People ttrreet td Sty tiint it is continually de-
,ig. Thisis also false, but what it incontestible is,
that our wines—that great source of wealth to France—
find tery fps ORCPS where they can be exported.
During the 'period between 1826 and 1830, France
exported 5;321,000 beet: of ordinary wines, of which
2,151,000 i+efe .6XPOrted from. the Gironde, and
3,170,000 from the 0fb.44 parts of the country. The
total from- 1836 to 1840, was (1,326000 beet., of which
2,900,000 were exported by the Gironde, and 4,235,000
from the other departments. Thus upon the whole of
the winch eXptifted there is an increase ; upon those of
BordeauX a deefeilse:
TLere is a local cause which it is DeceNary to examine.
The exportation of our cotton tissues kit remarkably
increased. From 86 millions, in 1839, it increased to
109 millidris in 1840, an increase of 23 millions—an in-
crease proportiofied td that of cotton. In fact, we now
sell to furaigners tisSiieS of Ftricti cotton double what
WO a ,p)rted ten "ears ago. it is certainly little in com-
plriAii with talc 450 Millions exported annually by Eng-
-1 and but, at all events, Otif cotton industry is evidently_
iiia way of progress, and we cannot doubt that it will
reccite irn`ptrlsQ from the facility acqtlired by Al-.
by the trety holland; of having its primary
produce upon easy condhiiitis As to our silk tissues,
their excoriation very little increased in 1840, which
may be attributed to the distrust which the American

MALPRACTICES IN CALCUTTA.
The usual practice of the ghat-sherang is, the moment
he espies a needy adventurer, from sixteen to forty-five
years of age, to set one of his female decoys, of whom
he has many, of different castes in his employ, to put
her blandishments forth to allure him into her domicile.
The poor wretch greedily swallows the bait, and is taken
home by the woman, where he is treated with kindness,
coaxed and cajoled,_ until_ he manages to get rid of the
little money he might_haye about hind; and has run in
debt to madam—who then gets 'Sulky,threatens him
