THE MEETING A T BADEN BADEN.

The King of Saxony is very popular at Baden.
The memory of his mother, who was once the
adored beauty of the place, is still fresh with the
inhabitants; and so lively with some of the elders,
that, on the first day of his arrival, he received a
tribute of affection and gratitude from two distinct
sources—the one, the small cut glass tumbler from
which she used to drink the waters, and which had
been kept like a precious relic by its owner—the
other, a bunch of dried and withered flowers, whieh
had been preserved under a glass case, and which
.the august lady had gathered herself on the day of
her last departure from Baden.
The breakfast at the Palace was a. curious cere-
mony, from its very absence of all etiquette. The
most trite and banal conversation (and this we
have from a person who was present) took place
amongst these crowned, ur.easy heads, all full of
disquietude—all seeking to appear careless and
unoccupied with graver thoughts than those which
the facility or difficulty of digestion presented by
the recherche viands offered to them by the atten-
dants. " How improved is the place since I was
here." " How many years, your Majesty ?"
" Ashamed to say. Grey beard and moustache
tells the tale. Both were black and shining then."
" Ha, ha! none of us can expect to be the better
for wear." (This last observation was uttered
with a slight stutter, and in the purest of German,
by the tallest of the royal and princely company,
who kept his eyeglass in his eye during the whole
repast.) " Has your Majesty ever taken these
waters ?" said an active, wiry, little duke, with a
fiery eye and sharp accent, turning to the heavy,
sleepy-looking, fair-haired King beside him.
46 Once only, when I was a child," was the answer,
in a deep bass voce. And then the conversation
paused, till some one of the illustrious guests
remarked on the beauty of the weather, and the
glorious vegetation of the hills behind the Con-
versation House, which he had noticed as he came
along. These scraps of discourse were taken down
on the spot. We pledge our honour to their truth,
and, what is more, to that of their being a fair spe-
cimen of the rest of the talk. The Prince of Prussia
spoke little during the repast. The Emperor of the
French not at all. The secretaries and officials in
personal attendance on the royal personages occu.
pied places all together at the bottom of the table.
But no distinctive mark of royalty or princely
birth was visible upon the persons of those who sat
at the upper end of the board, save the stars of the
different orders, the small pattern, or in most cases
the ribbon only, of which adorned the breast or the
button-hole of the coat. Morning costume, sim-
plicity, and small talk were evidently, by tacit
agreement, considered the right thing; and after
the indulgence in these facile enjoyments the com-
pany separated, each to ride, drive, or lounge, ac-
cording to his taste.—Court Journal.

CHINA.

By this arrival we have news from Hong Kong
to May 7 ; Shanghai, April 28. The following is
from the summary of the China Mail:---

Nothing further has transpired in regard to the
exact terms of the reply to the British ultimatum
made by the Chinese Government, nor have we
heard of any reply to the second communication
from the plenipotentiary which was despatched on
the 14th ultimo.

The island of Chusan was occupied by an allied
force on the 21st of last month. This has been
rendered necessary by the want of sufficient accom-
modation elsewhere for all the expeditionary forco ;
and is regarded as a demonstration, not an act of
war. No resistance was offered by the Chinese
authorities. Before the occupation was completed,
Sir Hope Grant, accompanied by his staff, left
Chusan. He is now in Hong Kong, and so is
General Michell. Sir Robert Napier is with the
troops' on the Kowloong peninsula. We under-
stand that the portion of the expeditionary force
which is here will commence to move northwards
about the middle of this month.

From the north there are rumours that great
preparations are being made on the Peiho for meet-
ing the allied force, and that Sann-ko-lin-sin com-
pels every family to furnish a man to learn the
manual exercise and artillery drill. Cavalry also
were said to be levied in great numbers.
From Canton we have the important intelligence
that the rebel troubles seem over, for a time at
least, and that for some days back there has been a
very perceptible change for the better as regards
trade.

CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Calcutta _Englishman.)
The produce market continues without any animation.
Produce of every description maintains its former high
prices, which, coupled with the high rates of freight, con-
tinue seriously to curtail operations.
Stagnation still reigns over the Import market, and
transactions in every kind of import articles are extremely
limited.
Money continues very abundant, with limited demand,
and, from the stagnant state of trade generally, it is likely
to remain so for some time.
The rates of Exchange have been from 2-1 down to 2-Of
for bank bills, from 2-11 down to 2-01 for credits, and the
few documentary bills offered were taken at from 2-1 i to
21.

CHINA COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
HONG KONG, MAY 7.
Transactions in imports appear to have taken place on a
larger scale than we have been able to report for some time
'Amt.

Rice shows a further decline, and cotton remains nomi-
nally the same.
Opium.—Since last report considerable clearances of
drug have taken place to Fuhchau. There hare been no
imports from India.
Exchange.—First-class credits, 4s. 9.1 d. ; banks, 4s. 90. ;
do. on Bombay, 227 f rs.
Bullion.—Gold leaf, 23.50; Sycee, 6.9 per cent.
Silk.—There has been a good deal of business in this
article since the last mail left, about 3,000 bales having
been settled, which makes the total for the season 62,500
against 77,000 at the same time last year.

Prince as Viceroy.

PARIS, JUNE 26.
The Patrie contains the following despatch from
Naples, dated the 24th inst.:—
The King has accepted the constitution, which
has been prepared on a liberal basis, and of which
•ne condition is an offensive and defensive alliance
with Piedmont.

The royal decision has been communicated to
the diplomatic corps, and has been favourably re-

ceived.

The promulgation of the new constitution will
take place towards the beginning of July.
The Patric announces that the obsequies of
Prince Jerome will be performed on Monday next.

MARSEILLES, JUNE 26.

Advices have been received here from Naples to
the 23d instant, stating that the Ministers had
resigned, and that the Commander Spinelli had
been entrusted with the formation of a new Minis-
try.

According to news from Palermo to the 20th
inst. the official journal had published a proclama-
tion by the son of the Neapolitan General Bene-
dictis calling upon the army to rise against the
Bourbons.

The barricades had been taken up and the insur-
gent bands had been sent back to their homes for

reorganisation.

Garibaldi had issued a proclamation inviting the
clergy to second the revolution.
Intelligence has been received from Rome an-
nouncing that General de Lamoriciere had been
nominated Grand Cross.

Six hundred Irish have been already embod'ed
in regiments, and others are expected.

PARIS, JUNE 27.

The Illoniteur of today states that the rumour
which has been circulated to the effect that the
Government intended to negotiate a loan is com-
pletely without foundation.

On the occasion of Prince Jerome's death the
Emperor went into mourning for 21 days.

GENOA, JUNE 26.

News have been received that the Dictator of
Sicily had decreed the demolition of Fort Castella-
mare. The first division of the revolutionary forces
had been directed towards Catania ; another divi-
sion had been directed towards Syracuse. The
Municipality of Palermo had sent an address to
the Dictator, requesting the immediate annexation
of Sicily to the Italian kingdom. The Dictator re-
plied that such annexation was his wish, that he
was a great admirer of King Victor Emmanuel, and
that the annexation would be accomplished by him
and with him, but that at present the annexation
of Sicily alone would not be advisable ; besides, in
the event of immediate annexation, he would be
under the necessity of retiring.
The Washington has arrived at Genoa with six-
teen wounded.

TURIN, JUNE 27.

Garibaldi is said to have sent one of his agents to
London, in order to negotiate there a loan of
30,000,000 francs, the revenues of Sicily being
offered as a guarantee.

GENEVA, JUNE 27.

The Journal of Geneva announces, according to
reliable information, that the Count de Persigny
and Lord John Russell had agreed upon the con-
vocation of an European Conference for the adjust-
ment of the question of Savoy:

GOOD NEWS FROM TIIE NORTH.--Whilk in the
south of Europe uneasiness is felt at tho result of the corn
crops, the Gazette die Xord says that in the northern states,
and particularly Sweden, expectations; are entertained that
the harvest will be one of extraordinary abundance. The
Swedish journals even go so far as to announce an unusual
yield of wheat, and in that belief a large quantity of rye ham
been exported to England from Stockholm.

as the commissioners now Have, of granting a certi-

ficate of indemnity.

We acknowledge that this

would make an honest election committee, in cases

where bribery was suspected, a much more for-

midable court of inquiry. But we are to remember

he committees themselves are to be composed of

members, of whom the report pronounces that

it would be useless to require them to

declare that they had not paid money

contrary to the provisions of the law ! also,
that the expense of prosecuting au inquiry on peti-
tion is enormous, and that when danger is suspected,

resignation, and compromises between the equally

guilty would make all smooth.

\Vhen we opened, however, the voluminous re-
Port, and glanced at the proeeedings of the fifteen

anti-corruption gentlemen, it really caused us an
involuntary laugh. We could but instantly compare,
in our own minds, the simplicity of truth with the
ludicrous
Pomposity or perplexity of error. We
thought of all the old speculations concerning the
movements of our solar system, which the grandly

LOUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—.JUNE 26.
We had only a small attendance of buyers at our Corn
Exchange this morning, and the business passing in wheat
has been on a very restricted scale, at a reduction of ld to
2d per cental. Flour, though difficult of sale, cannot be
quoted lower. Indian corn was little inquired for, and all
descriptions declined 6d per qr. Oats and oatmeal went
tolerably steady, at late rates. In beans, peas, and harleh
there is no alteration to notice.

LEEDS, JUNE 26.
The dull report from Mark •lane induces us to think the
trade there, considering wet weather, as decidedly favour•
able to the wheat crop; such a view, however, is not enter-
tained in the north, and our market is uninfluenced by the
decline noted in London, and although there is not much
doing to-day, last week's rates aro fullysupported. Barley
nominal. Beans, oats, and other articles unaltered.

CHINA.

By this arrival we have news from Hong Kong
to May 7 ; Shanghai, April 28. The following is
from the summary of the China :

Nothing further has transpired in regard to the
exact terms of the reply to the British ultimatum
made by the Chinese Government, nor have we
heard of any reply to the second communication
from the plenipotentiary which was despatched on
the 14th ultimo.

The island of Chusan was occupied by an allied
force on the 21st of last month. This has been
rendered necessary by the want of sufficient accom-
modation elsewhere for all the expeditionary force ;
and is regarded as a demonstration, not an act of
war. No resistance was offered by the Chinese
authorities. Before the occupation was completed,
Sir Hope Grant, accompanied by his staff, left
Chusan. He is now in Hong Kong, and so is
General Michell. Sir Robert Napier is with the
troops on the Kowloong peninsula. We under-
stand that the portion of the expeditionary force
which is here will commence to move northwards
about the middle of this month.

From the north there are rumours that great
preparations are being made on the Peiho for meet-
ing the allied force, and that Sann-ko-lin-sin com-
pels every family to furnish a man to learn the
manual exercise and artillery drill. Cavalry also
were said to be levied in great numbers.

From Canton we have the important intelligence
that the rebel troubles seem over, for a time at
least, and that for some days back there has been a
very perceptible change for the better as regards
trade.

CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Calcutta Englishman.)
The produce market continues without any animation.
Produce of every description maintains its former high
prices, which, coupled with the high rates of freight, con-
tinue seriously to curtail operations.
Stagnation still reigns over the Import market, and
transactions in every kind of import articles are extremely
limited.

Money continues very abundant, with limited demand,
and, from the stagnant state of trade generally, it is likely
to remain so for some time.
The rates of Exchange have been from 2-1 down to 2-01
for bank bills, from 2-1 a down to 2-0/ for credits, and the
few documentary bills offered were taken at from 2-1 i to
2a.

CHINA COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
HONG KONG, MAY 7.
_ _

Transactions in imports appear to have taken place on a
larger scale than we have been able to report for some time
past.

Rice shows a further decline, and cotton remains nomi-
nally the same.
Opium.—Since last report considerable clearances of
drug have taken place to Fuhchau. There have been no
imports from India.

Exchange.—First-class credits, 4s. 91d. ; banks, 4s. 91d. ;
do. on Bombay, 2271 rs.
Bullion.—Gold leaf, 23.50 ; Sycee, 6.9 per cent.
Silk.—There has been a good deal of business in this
article since the last mail left, about 3,000 bales haring
been settled, which makes the total for the season 62,500
against 77,000 at the same time last year.

PROSPECTS OF THE HOP CROP FOR 1860.

The present time is an important and criticsl
period in the hop garden, for at this stage of
growth of the hop plant depends future prospects
of obtaining a good crop of hops. The exten-
sive hop plantations in Sussex, and a small section
of the county of Surrey, viz., Farnham, do net
at the present time present a very encouraging
appearance, yet by no means an alarming one as
regards a crop. The process of tying the bine to
to the pole has very generally commenced, although
much retarded by the wet weather. The hop plant
is strong and full of bine, but the growth is greatly
checked by the recent cold rains, and the strong
wind accompanying the heavy showers has
broken down the tops, and in exposed and open
plantations the bine is torn from the pole, and
serious damage done to the young crop. The
bine in many hop grounds looks yellow, and
assumes a weakly appearance, and unless fine hot
weather quickly sets in the prospects of the crop
will be uncertain, but generally the bine is healthy,
and, with favourable weather, will quickly revive,
but it may be remarked that, although hop planta-
tions are making but slow progress, and have ex-
perienced an unseasonable check, yet they are
entirely free from the fly (an insect to which
hops are invariably susceptible), which is the great
pest in the hop garden. This year, with trifling
exception, the grounds have hitherto escaped this
destructive agent. A continuance of wet weather
will most undoubtedly be detrimental to hop gar-
dens, but a change to dry and hot weather will
ensure a fair, if not an abundant crop of hops. At
present great fears are entertained by the hop:
grower, but which we trust are groundless, and
that fair weather will produce a more salutary effect,
and realise a fine crop of hops.

XIII.

But no amount of provocation can turn France from the
path she has chosen for herself. Whatever satisfaction peo-
ples may fee/ in self-aggrandisement and in protecting
themselves behind natural barriers, we have too much gene-
rosity and too much justice to think of conquering the ter-
ritory of a foreign nationality. Would to Heaven that the
Germanic Confederation were animated with the same
spirit 1 She would neitherhave conquered the Grand Duchy
of Posen nor attacked Northern Schleswig, nor declared
that Trieste is a German town. As for us, we fearlessly
assert that Lorraine and Alsatia are both French, because
they have proved it against the Germans themselves. We
keep what belongs to us ; we ask nothing more ; we think
that all the natural frontiers and all the watercourses in Eu-
rope are not worth, for the defence of our territory, a stream
of Zouaves and foot chasseurs with levelled bayonets.
London, England, 1860-06-18

XII.

Since the accession of Napoleon 111., and especially since
the annexation Lf Savoy, German publicists, perhaps even
princes themselves, have loudlyexpressed an unjust distrust
against the policy of France. They will have it that wehar-
bour the design of annexing the Rhenish provinces, and
encroaching upon the soil of Germany. This ill-founded
apprehension is so noisily manifested and so obstinately
repeated that it might have suggested evil thoughts to us
if we were less equitable . It is certain that if you address
in the public street the meekest and most harmless indi-
vidual in the world and say to him, " Sir, you wish to give
me a slap in the face : don't attempt to deny it. I know
that you wish to give me a slap in the face. Don't swear; I
would'nt believe your oath. You want to give me a slap in
the face, I am stronger than you are ; I am not in the
least afraid of yott. I would crush you like a worm, and I
dare you to give me that slap of the face." The meekest and
most inoffensive man in the world would in the.end find ex-
cellent reasons for giving what he is asked for, and his hand
would spontaneously fall on the cheek of the man who had
provoked him.
London, England, 1860-06-18

WOOL MARKET.

We continue to have a steady demand for all kinds of
English wool, at very full prices, and the supply on offer is
limited. Foreign colonial parcels, however,
move off
slowly, at late quotations. the imports last week were-
-1,359 bales from Melbourne, 1,341 from Lauaceston, 142
from Table Bay, 89 from Cape Town, and 957 from other
quarters. The stock in London is now about 60,000 bales,
which will be brought to the hammer next morah.
