THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE S

BETS.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Journal des De,bats publishes an article oppos-
ing the re•election of LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE,
as President of the Republic, and supporting the
pretensions of the Prince DE JOINVILLE. The Dlbats
continues to be, as it always has been, the organ of the
Orleans family, and this declaration of hostility to the
pretensions of the Bonapartists is, therefore, import-
ant. Twenty-seven of the Councils-General
have decided in favour of revision, but only eleven are
in favour of revision in a Bonapartist sense; and
since the publication of the letter of the Comte DE
CHAMBORD, blaming MM. BEREYER and DB FAL.
v..otx. for voting in favour of a revision, and the dis-
tinct declaration of hostility to the pretensions of
Louis NAPOLEON by the Orleanists, it is doubtful
whether a new motion for the revision would not be
rejected by the Assembly by an absolute majority.
The fusionists, MM. GUIZOT, DUCEIATEL, and MoN-
TALIVET, were very coldly received at Claremont. It
is said that the Prince DE JOINVILLE refused to see
M. DE MONTALIVLT.

The Gazette des Tribunaux says :—" We are as-
sured that, when the Minister of Justice was informed
by the Procureur-General of Lyons that the advocates
of the accused before the court-martial had retired,
he ordered the different parquets, under whose juris-
diction they are placed, to complain of their conduct
to the Council of Discipline."
M. AusHoNsE GENT and the condemned of Lyons
have lodged the following appeal in the hands of the
proper authorities :
" The undersigned declare that they appeal in revision
against the judgment rendered against them on the
28th of August, 1851, by the Second Permanent Court-
Martial at Lyons, and against all incident decisions
during the trial, and they do so on grounds affecting the
merits and technicalities of the case, which will be
hereafter indicated. They place you under the obliga-
tion of supplying them with the means of giving to their
appeal any more complete and more legal form which
may be necessary.
" Prison of Roanne, 29th August, 1851, 12 o'clock in
the day.

Four of the prisoners, viz., DUPONT and CARLE, sen-

Letters from Toulon of the 49th mention the fact
of rumours being in circulation there that the French
Mediterranean squadron had received orders to pro-
ceed to the coast of Italy as speedily as possible. The
state of the Italian peninsula generally, and of Naples
in particular, is said to be the cause of these orders
being given.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 4,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export; and 500 on speculation. The sales
comprised 3,250 American, 320 Fannin and Maran-
ham at 6d. to 70., 300 Bahia at 51d. to 64d.; and 100
Egyptian at 6d. to 6id. per lb. The market closed
steadily. The Share Market wasvery firm, particularly for
Midland and Leeds Shares, which were in much de-
mand, at considerably higher prices.
Upon the state of the Produce Markets during the
past month, Messrs. H. W. Jewsbury and Co. report as
follows :—" We have again to report a dull month in
the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets; the same
inanimate tone prevails which has been the chief feature
since the commencement of the year; and the tendency
of prices generally has been again downwards ; the
rates for most of the leading articles are very low, still
importers have been desirous to realise, and prices have
ruled more in favour of the buyers than at the beginning
of the past month. The recent failures have had a de-
pressing effect upon the markets; but as it is now felt
that no great quantity of produce will in conse-
quence be forced upon the market, there has been
a firmer tone during the last few days, and sales have
been made upon rather better terms. The harvest has
to far been gathered in safely, and is reported both
abundant in quantity and fine in quality ; all fears
upon this essential point being set at rest, it is not unrea-
sonable to expect some improvement in produce—that
is, where prices have not been artificially raised by
speculation."

In reporting upon freights in London for the past
month, Mr. George Offor, jun., mentions that our ship-
owners are more inclined to build fast-sailing ships to
compete with the Americans, but at the same time of
stronger make, and then goes on to state:—" I regret
to record a continued depression in freights. A steady
fall in the Corn Markets has ceused the inquiry for
tonnage from the grain ports to become still more
limited, and rates are almost nominal. Vessels can be
placed from Alexandria at 6s. 6d. to 6s. 9d. for Beans;
Galatz, lOs. Wheat, &c. A private letter from Alexan-
dria states that the freight being paid thence for
vessels to call for orders was 7s. 23. to 7s. 6d., or
to a direct port 6s. 6d. to 6s. 103. In addition to the
fall in the price of Grain, which was to some extent an-
ticipated, the recent failures of the mercantile firn.s of
Castelli, Giustiniani, and Co., and S. Rucker and Sons,
have influenced freights—speculative charterers having
suspended their operations, caution being at the same
time necessary on the part of shipowners in chartering
their vessels until the result of these suspensions is
known. I have examined the commercial letters and
papers received from the eastward by the last mails,
and find that prospects generally were more favourable
to the abipowning interest. Exports from London con-
tinue dull, with the exception of the colonial trade, in
which there is some activity. The foreign markets are
generally supplied."
The report of Mr. 11. R. Forrest, from Bradford states
—"Self-grey Alpacas and fancy goods, adapted fur the
season, continue to be taken as produced, and are gene-
rally sold to order. Although the demand is generally
considered fair, the market is dull for • the time of
year, and manufacturers complain that prices aro aura-
munerative. Yarns continue in the same dull state as
for some time past, and prices are ruinous, especially
for the low and middle qualities. At present there is
a little more demand for export, but at no improvement
in prices, and from the unusual absence of buyers from
Lancashire the prospect of this branch of trade is any-
thing but encouraging."
The summary of the Manchester Market, by Mr. G.
F. Maudley, states that the last month's transaction.
have be en very large, and that after such extensive
dealings a lull is to be expected. The manufacturers,
however, have full employment for some time to come.

The Continental mails bring no intelligence of impor-
tance, and there are nut any Colonial arrivals.
The Money Market is at present easy, and, according
to appearances, is likely to continue so. From the
United States no very large amount of specie is looked
for immediately, but it is, nevertheless, the opinion in
many quarters that the exchange will shortly advance
again, for our market offers no opening for large im-
ports, and Cotton will not be allowed to go higher,
it is supposed, while textils fabrics to a heavy
amount have been shipped to New York. Tho hope is
expressed that we have seen the end of important failures,
and as the Bank of England will continue discount-
ing at 3 per cent. as its minimum, until the transfer-
books open next month upon the payment of the divi-
dends, no pressure will be felt among houses of good
credit. A most excellent effect is felt from the caution
of holders in not pressing sales of colonial produce, and
this will strengthen many firms.

The English Funds, although tolerably steady, do not
quite support the rise of yesterday. Consols have been
96k to 1, and aro now 96i The New Three-and-a
Quarter per Cents. have been 981 to 99, and the Three
per Cents. 97 to -k. A sale of Bank Stock having been
pressed, the price has declined from 2151 to 214. East
India Stock has been dull at 2601. Exchequer-bills are
441. to 475. premium.

Foreign Stocks havo been heavier. Sardinian scrip
has fallen to 2 dis. The aspect of foreign politics not
being liked, this security becomes susceptible. Mexican
Bonds have been at about 28k to I. Spanish Five per
Cents. are nominally 20i to j-. Dutch Two-and-a-lialf
per Cents. are 59i I.

A good deal has been doing in Railway Shares, and
although in some instances prices have fluctuated and
been a little weak, the general tone is good. The award
of Mr. Gladstone, apportioning the traffic between the
North-Western, Midland, and Great Northern, gives
much satisfaction.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOClETY.—Yesterday evening
a meeting of the committee of management, and others in-
terested in the welfare of this excellent institution, was held
at the London Taverii, for the transaction of general busi-
ness. The 24th annual report congratulates the subscribers
on the result of this long experience, which appears to be
the settling down of the society into a regular and steady
course. The number of individuals who have participated
in its benefits, by annual pensions, since the formation of
the institution, have been 224. The sum expended in pen-
sions last year was 565/. 12s. The property of the society
invested with the Commissioners for the reduction of the
National Debt at the last audit, WAS 5,6641. Bs. 5d., produc-
ing an annual income of 210/.
THE NEW HOUSE DUTY.—At Michaelmas the first
half-year's duty under the new Act will become payable of
6d. in the pound on the annual value of 201. and upwards on
shops, warehouses, &c., and of 9d. or; dwelling-houses not
