WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1848.

duced to 12, when the candidate has made a voyage
across the Equator. All the instruction at the school
is to be henceforward gratuitous.

Serious disturbances have broken out at Ardoz i❑
the department of the Lower Pyrenees. The out-
break is probably to be attributed to Legitimist
intrigues. The inhabitants of this part of France
are grossly ignorant, and consequently completely in
the hasids of the parti-pretre. The tax of 45 centimes
is the excuse given for this outbreak. Troops have,
been ordered to proceed to Ardoz from the garrisons
of Pau and Tarbes.

We read in the Semaphore of Marseilles, of Satur-
day :—" In the evening of Thursday, the Lieutenant-
General i❑ command of the seventh military division
received an order by the telegraph to form two war
battalions from the garrison of Marseilles. This
order was immediately executed. The 20th and 23d
each furnished the necessary contingents, and they
are ready to march at the first signal. Their desti-
nation is as yet unknown, and this mystery has given
rise to all sorts of conjectures. A battery of artillery
is also expected from Valence."
Some disturbance took place at Lyons on the Ist
in consequence of an order of the Municipal Council
requiring payment of tolls for crossing some of the
bridges. A crowd assembled near the Pont Morand,
and at last the police were obliged to call on them
three times, in the usual way, to disperse. As they
still continued near the bridge, the agents separated,
and, going to various points, arrested between thirty
and forty persons, some of whom were women. This
occurred about nine in the evening, and at half-past
ten everything wai perfectly quiet.
The Moniteur publishes a decree by General CA•
VAIGNAC for the definitive organisation of the Na-
tional Garde Mobile. It is to consist, as already
formed, of 25 battalions, the 25th retaining the name
of Gardes Marines. Each battalion is to have eight
companies, and the force of each battalion is to be
650, including officers ; 130 of this number are to be

men of the 2d class. The pay of the non-commis-
sioned officers and privates is to be as follows :—Ad-
jutants, 3f. per day; Sergeant Majors, 21. 40c. ;
Sergeants,: If. 90c.; Corporals, If. 60c.; drum-
mers, lf. 60c.; privates of the Ist class, If. 50c.;
2d class, lf. 25c. The new enrolments for the 2d
class commence this day. No person will be ad-
mitted under sixteen years of age, or more than
thirty (except soldiers who have served at least
seven years in the regular army, in which case the
outside limit will be thirty-five), and every recruit
must have lived six months in the department of the
Seine, or have in the department a relation or friend
who will engage to receive him in the event of his
discharge from the service.
BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, SEPT. 5.
THREE O'CLOCK.—Several reports unfavourable to
peace were current at the Bourse, which produced a fall
of per cent, in the Five per Cents. and Three per
Cents. Railway Shares were similarly affected. The
decree voted yesterday by the National Assembly, to
prolong the term originally fixed upon for the capitaliza-
tion of the shares in the Paris and Lyons Railway, until
the 15th instant, had also a depreciating effect on the
market.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE;
In the Cotton market at Liverpool, yesterday, the
sales were 4,000 to 5,000 bales, with very little doing,
though the quotations were steady. American sorts
realised 2id. to 6d. per lb.—Railway shares were dull,
and prices were tending downwards.
There have been no further arrivals to-day from the
colonies or other parts.
In the Belgian papers there is a statement of the ordi-
nary annual produce of potatoes, which is stated at
22,504,000 hectolitres, but from 1840 to 1846 the mini-
mum yearly import has been 56,662 hectolitres, and the
max:nano, 373,222 hectolitres. Attempts have been
made to introduce other articles of consumption, such as
rice, &c., but they have not been very successful.
The accounts of July date last received from Rio de
Janeiro furnish the following 3--
" The crop below the Serra having failed, we have as
yet had but little new coffee, and none good. It is be-
lieved the export A ill fall off very much this month.
Supplies now coming in slowly, and as the price is low
and the planters are engaged in gathering the crop, there
is no inducement for them to interrupt that work by forc-
ing it to market before all is secured. Should prices
keep down, much of the lower qualities will not pay the
expense of sending it to market, and while this may
lead to a better cleaning of the article we may have a
diminution of export in the coming twelve months. The
export of this crop, say from June, 1842, to July 1, 1848,
has been 1,835,351 bags, of which 756,653 to the United
States and 1,078,698 bags to Europe, &c. To the United
States this year 334,939 bags have been exported against,
in same months of last year, 306,807, and to Europe
this year, 509,000 bags, against same time last year,
350,516 bags."
The Corn market is very heavy to-day.
There is a meeting to-day of Mexican Bondholders,
but it had not concluded up to the hour of our writing.
The English Funds are exceedingly dull this morning,
and the arrangements for the settlement continue to ex-
ercise a depressing influence upon the market. Consols
have been 85i to 86f .for Transfer, and 851 to 86 for
Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 861 to 87. Exchequer-bills are 28s. to 31s.
premium. Bank Stock is firm at 196.
The Foreign Stock market presents a mere blank.
Spanish Three per Cents. are 231 ; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. have been 44f, and the Four per Cents.
71. All the rest are nominal. Mexican about 16k to
17. Portuguese Four per Cents. 21 to 23, and Bra-
zilian 73 to 75.
Railway Shares are worse this morning than even for
some time past, and there are no buyers coming for-
ward. The list will show the depreciation, but for
which we really do not meet with any men of practical
experience who can give a satisfactory explanation.
The market probably is in the hands of a few persons,
owing to the number out of town.
