Marseilles journals. The writer expressly states that
he attaches no credit to the rumour :
" The Descartes, steam-frigate, Which had been detached
from the French Mediterranean squadron at the moment it
left Tanis, arrived at Malta on the 11th with despatches. A
report was soon in circulation that the Prince de Joinville
had demanded permission from the English authorities to
enter that port with his squadron, to pass his quarantine
there, and that the request had been refused. It was cer-
tain, however, that the French squadron did not enter
the port, and that it would pass its period of quarantine
at sea.

"As the entrance of English squadrons into our ports is
not interdicted, we must refuse to credit that the Maltese
authorities would show themselves so impolite towards the
Prince, and we must rather suppose that it had never been
the intention of his Royal Highness to put into Malta with
his squadron."

The KING of the FBENCR, accompanied by the
Dukes of MONTPENSIER, SAXE COBURG GOTHA,
and by the Minister of War, is daily engaged in in-

On Saturday a funeral service was celebrated in
the Church of the Petits Peres, for the repose of
the souls of the two brothers BANDIERA, and their
seven companions, put to death in the Calabrias on
the 25th of July, 1844, by order of the King of
NAPLES. The most distinguished members of the
Italian emigration assisted at the ceremony.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
There was a good business done yesterday in the Liver-
pool Cotton Market. Sales, 6,000 to 7,000 bales, including
1,000 on speculation. Prices were without alteration. Shares
were for the most part dull.
Thule are no la-er arrivals to-day from any foreign quarter
with new 3 of the least interest.

In the Produce market; this is likely to be a very dull
week, as, with the exception of the Indigo sale, there is no-
thing of importance doing by public sale in any description
of foreign produce. The Colonial Wool auctions have been
brought to a conclusion, and the result, with a fair sale as
regards quantity, has been a decline of about 8 per cent. in
the prices.
The" West India interest are determined, it seems, not to
allow the new Sugar Bill to progress without some further
manifestation of their decided opposition. To-day a petition
to the Lords, drawn up under the auspices of the " Commit-
tee" in the Old Jewry, lies for signature at the Jamaica Cof-
fee-house and other places of resort, but the subscribers, we
opine, will be confined exclusively to the 1r est India interest
and those intimately connected with them, to all of whom,
we may add, wo sincerely wish every possible success,
though we cannot go the length of desiring that success, if it
is to be gained only at the loss of the consumer.
The Funds have been rather higher again to-day, and the
market is buoyant. Consols have touched 95% to 96 for
money, and 9614 to 14 for account. The premium on Ex-
chequer-bills has been 10s. to 135., and on India Bonds 20s.
to 225. Bank Stock has been firm at 209, and Last India
Stock rather flatter, at 26034. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 97% to 98.
The Foreign Investments are asdull as ever. Spanish Passive
Bonds have realised 5%, and Brazilian 861. Dutch Four
per Cents. are 9414, and French Three per Cents. have beer
82f. 50c. with the exchange at 25f. 70c.
Shares are again rather favourably influenced by the im•
proved state of the English Stock Market
BRITISH FUNDS.
