Francais, " that a rather warm altercation has taken
place between the commander of the French brig of
war Zebra, sent by Rear-Admiral t3AzocuE, Governor
of Bourbon, to.cruize on the coast of Madagascar,
and the commander of an English corvette. It is
stated that this incident, which appears to have a cer-
tain degree of importance, is connected with the oc-
cupation by the English of an important point in the
Bay of Diego-Suarez."

The Aran•lral Duke D'IsLY was to leave Paris for
Excileuil on Wednesday, and, after a short stay on
his estate, will return to Algeria.
The Constitationnel contains the following state-
ment :

" If we were to credit a letter written to one of his
relatives by a soldier of the Ist Regiment of Engineers,
now in Africa, on the frontiers of Morocco, the company
to which he belongs was surprised and massacred by the
Arabs. Only ten men escaped—an officer, two corpo-
rals, six soldiers, and himself. The affair is said to have
taken place in the first days of August."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was
steady, at previous rates, but less animated. Sales,
5,000 bales, including 500 American, and 600 Surat, for
exportation. Shares were dull.
A very good business was done at Messrs. Lanaond
and Co.'s sale yesterday. East Indians all sold readily at
15s. 6d. Scrips were in request at previous prices.
There is a serious depression in the Belgian lines. The
following are a few of the principal sales:—

The result of the meeting held yesterday of the South-
Eastern Railway Company, however satisfactory to the
shareholders, is not by any means to to those who are
compelled to traverse the line. The subject has
been much talked of this morning, and it cer-
tainly was expected that some better reasons
would have been given than those adduced for
such an increase in the amount now demanded
by this Company. Upon most other lines the prin-
ciple has been of late to reduce, not to increase,
fares. It remains, however to be seen whether the
South-Eastern Company will not be compelled to pro-
vide a cheaper mode of conveyance than they now fur-
nish to those who are compelled to use their line.
There are accounts from the Brazils to-day but not
much intelligence of interest has come to hand. We
learn that increasing dissatisfaction prevailed upon the
interference of GoVernment with the property of de-
ceased foreigners. The Chambers had taken the subject
up, and probably the result would be a more liberal
course of policy on the part of the Minister of Finance,
under whose auspices interference in such matters is
generally carried on. The exchange remained much
about the same.
Stocks are flatter this morning, and there is less doing,
on account of the closing of the transfer books this even-
ing for the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. and
other Stocks. This security has been marked 981 and
has just been sold as low as 981. Consols are 96 to 951
for money; and 96* for time. Exchequer-bills have
been firm at 10s. to 14s. premium. Bank Stock is
quoted 210 to 211, being very firm. East India Stock
is at 259.

The Foreign Market has been very quiet. Spanish
Five per Cents. ale dull at 27, and the Three per
Cents. at 38k. Nothing has been done in Portuguese;
Mexican Bonds have realised 251 Eauador Stock is
at 31. Russian Bonds are worth 1101 ; and Belgian
Four-and• a-Half per Cents. are 97_

There is very little doing in Shares, and they keep
steady in price.
