who betrayed Maximilian :
i; I arrived here to-day and learned the startlinbge
news of the assassination of the traitor Lopez.
particulars of the assassination are as follesv

Lopez was stopping at a hotel in Puebla, where
wife spurned him from her presence. Earl/ °lf
morning a Mexican arrived and familiarised bilrisci,
with a hostler in a livery stable adjoining the h°teot
General Miguel Lopez was inquired for, but 1131
being in the stranger was told that the genera
would be at dinner. Before the dinner hour Ilho
returned, and was pointed out to the stranger) as
made special note of his man. When dinner ‘;is
called Lopez and his assassin occupied opposite se
ch
at the table. After some minutes, during sv-
time the stranger called for and drank a g 15310,
wine, he deliberately rose, drew a concealed ies.
and sprang upon Lopez and stabbed him nine Or°, to
The stranger then took his hat, ant, as
leave, said, ' This is the way all traitors she'll 5,10
paid.' No one interfered, or prevented the ss.rio,
from leaving. Thus was the blood of Maxiinli,eo,

LCONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
No perceptible difference has taken place in
the discount market. The inquiries are few both
at the Bank of England and in Lombard-street,
and in all the principal cities of the Continent the
same state of affairs exists.
There were no gold operations of importance at
the Back yesterday. The silver market continues
f.
At the meeting held to-day of the London, Til-
bury, and Southend Railway the usual accounts for
,the half-year ending the 30th June were presented.
rite statement furnished by the lessees showed
that the receipts amounted to £24,531, and
the expenses to £18,618, leaving a balance
13. f £5,912. Compared with the correspond-
ing period of last year there is a decrease
of £835 in the receipts and £647 in the expenses,
making a total decrease of £1,502. The return of
13,assenger tolls and proportion of goods receipts by
the Great Eastern and North London Companies
lvthere £9,484, and £670 respectively, which, with
the receipt of £24,531, make the gross receipts for
receipt
£34,687.
During the last few days there has been very little
animation exhibited in the foreign and colonial
produce markets. Sugar has barely maintained
former values. Superior qualities of coffee have
been ;

fruit, and spices only moderate transactions have
been entered into. Tallow has been in very limited
uemand at slightly reduced rates.

tures Great Western Railway
remain at 23 25 ; but the Consolidated Mort-
gap Bonds have receded 1, to 20i 21i.
The Rhone has arrived from the West Indies with
specie to the amount of £367,526, of which £85,847

Notwithstanding the extreme dulness of specula-
tion and a very limited number of investments, the
value of English Funds is well
supported; nor is
there any apparent reason why it should be other-
wise. Harvest reports are good, each morning mail
bringing satisfactory intelligence. The labour supply
for agricultural purposes seems to have turned out
more favourable than was anticipated, the price
of wheat has further declined, the stock of
Cereals in hand are excessive, and enormous
foreign and colonial consignments are expected,
and, in fact, already shipped or ready for shipment,
money continues superabundant, and all good secu-
rities—Government especially —are worth more than
their present marketable value, with a 2 per cent.
Bank minimum, and bills discountable 1 per cent.
