THE PRF,NCIi 1.,.?11ptT8L1,.....

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The National has the following on the subject o.
the trials at Lyons:—

"For a year the royalist journals have been exhaust-
ing all the forms of appeal to terror with respect to
the Lyons plot. Society, it was said, had escaped
from an immense peril ; a formidable conspiracy,
embracing all France, had been discovered ; but,
thanks to the vigilance of all Bonapartist agents,
that gigantic enterprise had failed, and the chiefs,
who were about to give the signal for combat,
had been arrested at the moment when they were
preparing to give the signal for action. For a year
the democratic press never ceased an instant to call
for the trial of the prisoners, in order that the country
might be enlightened as to the truth of this secret
agitation, no detail of which had transpired amongst
the populations, so terribly menaced. At last, after
the accused had been dragged from prison to prison
for twelve months, after having been brought 50, nay
100, leagues to Lyons ; after a great number were
set at liberty as innocent, 38 persons were brought
before an exceptional court, and of that number the
greatest part were strangers to the city of Lyons, and
even to the department of the Rhone itself. From
the very beginning of the proceedings, that phantas-
magoria of plot, of insurrection, pillage, and incen-
diarism—that red spectre, called into existence to
terrify timid minds, vanished before the light of dis-
cussion. We do not speak here in the interest of the
accused ; they are assisted by defenders who have no
need of our support. Elr-, we affirm, atter
having examined the documents, that all these
rumours of civil war existed only in some diseased
imaginations. Undoubtedly the testimony given has
proved one thing—that amongst the rural populations
there exists considerable agitation ; the menaces of the
royalist press against the Republic, the unconstitu.
tional designs attributed by imprudent friends to M.
BONAPARTE, the dismissal of Republican function-
aries, the dissolution of national guards, the impunity
of the royalist proceedings, all the rumours of attacks
on the Constitution, had deeply moved the country.
So, without there being any need of conspiracies, or
illicit associations, a spontaneous sentiment of resist-
ance to all counter revolutionary projects had seized
on men's minds. But, as to plots or illegal machi-
nations, or to those plans of anti-social organization,
with which the royalist press has filled its columns,
all that has disappeared when proofs were called for."

Several of the Councils• General have passed re.
solutions in favour of a revision of the Constitution.

The animosity between the Bonapartists and the
Orleanists is every day increasing in intensity. The
Constitutionel publishes a vehement and bitter attack
on the Orleanists.

The last drawing of the Lyons Lottery took place
on Monday. The great prize, of a service of plate,
valued at 100,000 f,, has been gained by No. 658,302.
The second prize, a statue of NAPOLEON, in silver,
valued at 25,000 f., has fallen to No. 690 809 ; and
the third prize, a diamond necklace, valued at
10,000 f., has been gained by No. 893,300.
The decline in the price of Government Stock made
further progress at the opening of the Bourse. A re-
action, however. took piece towards the close of busi-
lIPSS, and the Five per Cents., which opened at 94f.
90c., and fell to 94E. 70c., closed at 95f. for the

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The sales
comprised about 6,500 American, 300 I'ernam and Ma-
raham at 50. to 6d., 200 Egyptian at 54d. to Bd., 800
Surat at 3d. to 4*d., and 200 Sea Island at 100. to Is.
oil per lb. Toe market closed firmly.—The Share
Market was better, and a fair business was done at im-
proved prices.

The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 415. 9d. per
quarter.

As we yesterday anticipated, the result of the negotia-
tions for assisting one or two houses that were tempo-
rarity inconvenienced by having the paper of suspended
firms thrown back upon them, have resulted success-
fully, and a very stringent examination of the ba-
lance-sheets and accounts having shown that there
is a good surplus, assistance has been received
from one or two joint-stock banks and discount
establishments which are interested. It would be idle
to assert, however tranquil may be present appearatices,
that more stoppages will not occur. We feel satisfied
that there will be several, and it is only because we do
not desire to anticipate evil, that we refrain mentioning
the particular branches in which they may be looked
for. An attentive observer and experienced man of
business will not at least fail to perceive that all
who have largely speculated in shares must have sus-
tained heavy losses, and be inconvenienced accordingly.
The shareholders of the Northern Counties Union
Railway have held a meeting to-day, and received a
most satisfactery report from the directors. In the en-
suing Parliament a Bill will be applied for to enable
the company to abandon the greater part of the line,
and construct a small portion, which will prove re-
munerative, and which, in fact, there are two or three
companies willing to lease. As to the expense of ap-
plying for the Bill, two-thirds thereof is guaranteed by
other companies.

The speculators for a fall have been rather active in
the Stock Market, and there is an impression that other
failures may occur to give them an advantage in acting
upon the fears of the tisnid. Consols have been reduced
from 96i to 96. The New Three-and-a Quarter per
Cents. n,.ve been 98i to 98j. Bank Stock has been
firm at 215 i. Exch,quer- bills are 465. to 495, and India
Bonds 535. to 565. premium.

Foreign Securities have been heavy in sympathy with
Consols. Mexican have been 28i to Brazl Stock is
at 92. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marks,d 20-B
SArdinian Scrip is Ito 4 discount. Russian Five
per Cent. Bonds are supported at 1141. Dutch Four

Tbe last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to
this day, are in round figures as under:—

These returns, it will be perceived, are generally ea-
tisfaetory, but this is " name day" in the share market,
and prices are somewhat irregular. Caledonian are
better, and Midland are good; Great Western flat.
