PORTUG,

SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY NIGHT.
By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Euxine, Captain Weeks, with the Peninsular
mails, we have acivices from Gibraltar of Oct, 4;
Cadiz, 5 ; Lisbon, 9 ; Oporto and Vigo, 10.
The Euxine brings 28 passengers, specie value
6,0231., and a cargo consisting principally of fruit.
The distance from Vigo was made by this packet
in 57 hours, being the quickest run on record.
The Tiptree, which left Liverpool on the 27th of
September, with the mails and 400 passengers
for Melbourne, put into the Tagus for repairs
on the Bth instant. She anchored off Belem
late in the evening, and only got pratique as the
Euxine was leaving. She had met with a fearful
gale on the 26th September from the south-west,
about 100 miles north-east of Cape Finisterre, its
which she lost her topmasts, caps, and crosstrees..
She had also sprung the foremast head, carried
away and lost principal sails, yards, rigging, and
live stock, but appeared not to have suffered much
in the hull.

From Lisbon we learn that a decree has appeared
appointing the elections for the 9th of November,
and making the new electoral division. The Mi,-
guelites are determined to go to the urn. A decree
is published establishing a custom-house system
for the territory of Ambriz.
Application has been made to the Lisbon Go-
vernment by Mr. Gattai to lay down an electric,
telegraph between Portugal and the Brazils, with ;
exclusive privileges. Mr. Gattai was also to apply
at Rio de Janeiro before his project could be car..
rigid out.

Intelligence has reached Gibraltar that the Em-
peror of Morocco has, at the instance of Mr.
Drummond Hay, her Majesty's Chargd d'Affaires,
consented to pay to the owners and other persons
interested in the British bark Hymen, which vessel
was captured in May last by the pirates on the,
coast of Riff, the sum of $16,000 as an indemnity
for the plunder of that ship and her cargo. His
Majesty also agreed to „NJ the $7,000 lately
claimed by the French Government on account of
a vessel of their nation which was taken by the
Riff pirates in the spring of 1855.
The weather is unsettled, and the price of corn
has advanced.
Exchange on London, 30 days, 52i ; 90 days,
531.
From Gibraltar we learn that the Sultan of Mo-
rocco has consented to pay the owner of the British
barque Hymen, which was captured by the Riff
pirates in May last,
16,000 dollars.
A large body of Moorish cavalry is to proceed to
Fez to chastise the Riff pirates. Other effective
measures are about to Le taken by the Sultan of
Morocco to prevent the recurrence of piracy in the
Riff waters.

BAiiK of FRANCE.—The letters from Paris on Saturn
day allege that the Bank of France have lately contracted
with Mesi-ra. Rothschild to supply them with gold to the
amount of 5,400,0001. A small portion has already
been sent, but, supposing the statement to be correct as
regards amount, the operation must extend over a
long period, since it can be carried out only in propor-
tion as bills or credits on the London market are
obtainable in Paris. For many weeks, therefore, all the
Australian and American arrivals will probably bo
absorbed in this way, but meanwhile we may witness
as livas recently the case under similar circumstances
the receipt of gold coin from France. In the present
state of the money market on this side the transaction
must involve an extraordinary loss, and within a month
of its completion matters will be in precisely the same
position as if they had been left to their natural course.
P.rliaps, however, its announcement may have the effect
of inspiring confidence, since the report of six or seven
millions of gold being expected from England will be
calculated to dazzle the large majority, who will accept
it without stopping to trace the conditions upon which
alone the arrangement can be practicable.

CITY, Two o'CLoc-s

The Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday,
closed very firmly, without any change in prices.
The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, com-
prising 7,000 Americans (1,500 for export and
3,000 on speculation), 500 Pernam and Maran-
llani, at 61d to 7d. ; 100 Bahia, bad. to 61,d. ;
300 Egyptian, old. to 91. ; and 2,000 Surat,
41d. to 51d. per lb. The Railway Share Market
was dull, and prices were a shade lower than on
Priday.
Advices from the continental silk markets men-
tion that the recent speculations have become
quieter, and a steady business is now transacted,
With a gradual decline in prices ; at the same time
the supplies brought for sale are only sufficient to
meet the demand. In the markets of Drome and
Azdeche transactions were limited during the past
Week, and the prices realised were slightly lower
than the previous week. At Valence Italian silks
are not so much in request, and purchasers are not
disposed to lay in heavy stocks, so that the quota-
tions are nominal in almost all quotations. At
Aubenas the market is in much the same state, and
the manufacturers are chiefly working up foreign
silks,

The weekly trade report from. Paris states that
the limit made by the Bank of France to discount-
ing bills having not more than 60 days to run has
Produced much embarrassment among the mercan-
tile community, many of whom had just made
arrangements for purchases at 90 days' bills. The
result is expected to cause much inconvenience to
those who have been laying in large stocks for the
winter season. Business has been very quiet in
Paris during the week, and the advices from the
departments report a similar state of affairs. The
retailers have, in some instances, postponed laying
in their winter stocks, in expectation of an improved
state of the money market.
The report of the Directors of the Royal Mail
Steam. Company has been issued preparatory to the
general meeting. Since the last meeting 100,0001.
has been invested in Government and other securi-
ties. The dividend is to be 21. per share, and had
it not been for the loss of the Tay, a bonus would
have been declared out of the iisurance funds.

further sum of 50,0001. in specie, it is said,
has withdrawn from the Bank of England on Satur-
ug for transmission to Paris, and the two next offi-
eialreturns of that establishment are expected to show
a considerable decline in the stock of precious metals.
The accounts received from Paris this morning
contain no information of a character to justify the
c3l3ectation of an early improvement in monetary
"'airs, but active endeavours continue to be made
f°l' alleviating the pressure. It is stated that the
Lank of France has entered into a contract with
1-essrs. Rothschilds' for the supply of six millions
411 d a half sterling in gold, in which case, supposing
the statement be correct, the efflux of gold from this
country will continue active. The arrivals from
America and Australia, it is hoped, however, may
81-IPply the greater part of the amount thus re-
Tlired. In consequence of the drain of gold it was
thought
probable that the Bank directors, follow-
ing the plan adopted last Monday, might have
blade another change to-day, but such has not
'Dom the case.

At the commencement of business this morning
the-English Stock Market presented a firm appear-
Tice,
the large arrival of 900,000 dollars in specie
°lll New York, with a continuance of real
Purchases, having imparted some degree of
buoyancy to prices. Since then, however,
there have been a few speculative sales which
have occasioned a slight reaction, and much heavi-
ness is now apparent. Affairs in France do not
improve, and the prospect of a further material
diminution in the metallic reserves at the
Bank of England induces many persons to
consider a lower range of prices in the
stock Market not improbable. Consols for '
inoney were 92 to 92, and for account, 92J
but they have since been Ma- I, and 92 to 921 re-
spectively. At present they are 91. - and 92 92k.

dull and heavy. Most of the principal lines are
rather lower. Foreign and Colonial are well main-
tained. Namur and Liege are at a slight advance.
Banking shares have slightly declined. Mines

holders and. depositors in the Royal British Bank, held
this day in the Court of the Lords Justices, Mr. Harding
Was appointed official manager.
The General Screw Company are about to recommend
a further repayment of 51. per share to their proprietors,
which will reduce the shares nominally to 1.1./. each.
SHIPPING CASUALTIES ON THE NORFOLK AND SUF.
rOLK COAST.—Last week was again a disastrous one
to the shipping on the eastern coast. The Sardinian
ship Trenton, Vicini master, came in collision with a
brigantine schooner in Hasborough gatway. Tne
Schooner immediately foundered, and all bands were lost,
notwithstanding that strenuous exertions were made to
save them. The name of the schooner is not known.
in
to
a Electra, Turnbull master, or Whitby, was run
a few miles north of Great Yarmouth by a schooner,
name unknown. The Electra sustained great damage,
and went ashore at Palling ; crew saved. The schooner
Charlotte, Hardy master, from Hartlepool, of and for
Weymouth, struck on the Newcome sand off Lowestoft.
She struck so heavily that she soon began to fill, and
the crew, who wers compelled to abandon her, were
landed at Lowestoft in a yawl. The Palmyra. Keslake
master, of Teignmoutb, from Newcastle for Torquay,
came in collision with a brig, name unknown, and a ter-
rific crash took place, the stern of the Palmyra being
driven completely in. The brig took no notice, and
left Captain Keslake and his crew to their fate. They
:Were afterwards picked up by the Bell, of Maldon, and
landed at Lowestoft in an entirely destitute condition.
They were forwarded to their homes by the honorary
agents of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. Other
minor accidents are also reported.
