LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

a sum of 80,000,000 reals, which would have been
lying idle in the provinces, had been sent to Madrid,
and the receipt of that sum had caused a fall in the
interest on the floating debt. It had been decided
that the Queen should visit Ferrol, Santiago, and
Corunna. As a proof of the frauds committed by
the late Cabinets in the electoral lists, it is stated that
in the town of Zamora not fewer than 4,000 persons
were put down as entitled to vote, whereas only
2,000 had the right to do so. The Progressist jour-
nals call on General O'Donnell to adopt an energetic
liberal policy.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUXSDAY, 6 r.m.

The Spanish Government has decided to clear out
the Riff pirates. Communications to that effect have
bees sent to the great maritime powers, and an ex-
pedition is preparing to rid the seas of this, almost
the last remaining, nest of sea brigands.
Some time since I informed you that Sir Colin
Campbell had asked for reinforcements. Her Ma-
jesty's Government have assured the Commander-
in-Chief that more men shall be, and have been,
despatched, making up the number he requires—an
effective force of 30,000 men for the new campaign,
which forces include a considerable increase of
cavalry.
The Czar, following the example of other crowned
heads, is now on the move. A despatch informs us :
,‘ St. Petersburg, 23d.—Their Imperial Majesties
left this morning for their journey throsigh the
empire." _

ARRIVAL OF THE INDIAN.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.

The Montreal Ocean Steamship Company's steamer
Indian, Capt. Jones, arrived in the Mersey yesterday
forenoon, bringing advices from Quebec and Mon-
treal to the 14th inst., and New York papers to the
12th. The Indian brought 82 cabin and 95 steerage
passengers.
The Nova Scotian had arrived at Quebec from
Liverpool, and the Niagara was reported at Halifax
on the 11th.

" Queen Victoria," says the New Gazette of Prus-
sia," has delayed her departure from Babelsberg to
the 28th."

The excitement in respect of the success of the
Atlantic telegraph cable continued unabated.

According to communications from Brest, the
Russian squadron about to leave Cronstadt will
visit the French coast and put in at Cherbourg;
after which this naval division will divide, half going
to the Mediterranean, whilst the remaining vessels
will cruise in the Pacific.

The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says :—" Would it not be well for the Ad-
ministration to make an effort to obtain the terri-
tory north of the British possessions ? It belongs to
Russia, and is of little or no value to her ; but as it
is supposed that the gold region extends up through
it, our citizens might find it greatly to their interest
to develop its mineral treasures, and if the country
belonged to the United States, and they could be
certain of American protection, they would, no
doubt, make the effort."
We see it stated in a New York paper that the
transatlantic mail averages 16,000 letters a-day.
The fact gives some idea of the vast amount of
business which would be done by a transatlantic
telegraph.
The steamer St. Louis arrived at New York on

We learn from Vienna, of date Aug. 24, that the
baptism of the Prince Imperial took place on Monday
at the Palace of Laxenbitrg. The Prince received
the names of Rudolph Francois Charles Joseph. ;By
Imperial decree the Prince has been named pro-
prietor and colonel of the 19th regiment of in-
fantry.

The Vienna journals contradict most positively
,he accounts that are given by some continental

journals as to the provinces of Turkey, and particu-
larly Herzegovina and Bosnia, being in a deplorable
situation ; they assert, on the contrary, that tran-
quillity has been completely re-established in those
provinces, or very nearly so, in spite of the propa-
ganda made by foreign emissaries for the advantage
of the Greek religion.
Count Walewski leaves Paris to-morrow for Vir-
ley. M. Fould is to arrive at this famed mineral-
water summer retreat to-night.
Kiasim Bey, the bearer of the minutes of the sit-
tings of the Conference of Paris on the question of
the Danubian Principalities, embarked on the 21st
at Marseilles for Constantinople.
There are certain branches of the retail trades in

the 11th, with two weeks' later intelligence from
California, having left Aspinwall on the morning of
the 3d instant. The Star of the West was to leave
on the afternoon of the same day with the mails of
July 20, and $1,826,000 in gold, of which amount
about $1,500,000 was destined for New York, and

the remainder for England. The excitement in re-
gard to Fraser River was on the decrease, although
emigration from California continues with unabated
zeal. The mining news from the Golden State is
less favourable than usual. An attempt has been
ma de to take forcible possession of a quartz mine
owned by Col. Fremont, but the rioters being met
with a spirited resistance soon beat a retreat. In
Oregon, Gen. Joseph Lane and Delazon Smith have
been elected to the United States Senate.
ale news from Utah, says the New York Times,
is not hopeful of peace prospects. The temper of the
Mormons continue hostile, and the old grudge against
the Gentiles is but imperfectly covered by the exist-
ing armistice ; and there is reason to apprehend a
frellh outbreak at any moment—the probabilities of
a new difficulty, previously hinted at, being rendered
stronger by recent advices. Brigham Young is re-
ported to be in a cross and sullen humour; his fol-
lowers refuse the commonest courtesies to Gentile
visitors; the peace commissioners have retired dis-
gusted ; and none of the federal officials are regarded
wit,:ti favour, except Governor Cumming. The _Mor-
mons were returning in a body to Salt Lake City,
bringing their wives and children with them, and
the place was resuming its wonted aspect.
COMMERCIAL.

Paris, the craftsmen of which are complaining just
now sadly for want of employment. Cabinet-makers,
the workers in decorative ornaments, and jewellers,
in fact those trades generally which are dependent
on the wealthy classes at home and abroad, are cer-
tainly doing much less business than usual. The
export trade is still suffering from the late European
crisis. Some idea of the general falling off in the
foreign trade may be gathered from a comparative
table of exports published by the Moniteur.,
France does an immense business in what
are called modes, a comprehensive term for
every description of articles necessary for the
dressing a lady of fashion, whether of New York or
St. Petersburg. It appears France exported in the
first seven months of 1856 modes to the value of
5,976,524 fr.; in 1857, 4,227,030 fr.; and in the
corresponding months of 1858, only 3,518,077 fr.
The fact is, French houses have not yet renewed
their relations with America, and refuse to do busi-
ness with the United States excepting on cash terms.
It does not, however, appear, according to the reve-
nue returns of July, as given in the Moniteur, that
trade in France has decreased on the whole; it
is rather certain branches of commerce, trading
in what may be called luxuries, which do not show
the usual activity.
There are certain labouring classes, not only in
Paris but throughout France, who were more fully
employed ; such as stonemasons, carpenters, painters,
and all trades necessary for building. The want of
employment in Paris and elsewhere is confined to
those who supply the elegancies of life.
PARIS BOURSE.—The market was very buoyant a
the opening, and securities were generally quoted
with an advance, hut sales for realisation having
been effected, it produced a general reaction. Threes,
after having been done at 70fr. 20c., receded to 70fr.
Sc.; Alobilier varied from 770 fr. to 760 fr.; Austrian,
657 fr. 50c. to 652 fr. 50c. ; Orleans, 1,362 fr. 50e. to
1,347 fr. 50c. ; Lyons, 837 fr. 50c. to 832 fr. 50c. ;
Northern, 960 fr. to 955 fr.; and Southern, 555 fr. to
552 fr. 50c.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
17, he screw steamship Vigo arrived in the Mersey
this morning, with dates from New York to the 12th
inst., , and .2,000 sovereigns and 67,433 dollars in
spec' ie on freight. her dates have been anticipated
by t. he Indian. On the 15th inst., in lat. 43 N., long.
60 V tr., exchanged signals with the City of Washing-
ton, ' bound west. On the 18th inst., lat. 49 N. long.
49 V Y., passed a large iceberg apparently about 100
feet , high and 300 feet in circumference, with several
detac ;hed pieces round it ; it appeared to be break-
ing I up.

Ti IE THIRD ROYAL SURREY MILITIA.—Yesterday,
in co: mpliance with instructions from Lord Challoner, colonel
of Hai 3 above regiment of militia, notices were distributed
Unx' ighout the county that the regiment will be called out
on tt: e 9th of Sept. for a days' drill. The officers, non-
coms: tissioned officers, and men are to assemble at 9 o'clock
in tie 3 forenoon, at Kingston, when all who are absent with-
out n sufficient cause will be treated as deserters.
Al ARAB IN THE WRONG Box.--A letter from
Cairc . of the 9th says :—" A curious circumstance occurred
a tee days ago in this city. A man wearing the costume of
a co phte (Arab Christian) went to the shop of an Arab
lusted ier who is noted for his antipathy to the Franks, and
order ed some meat. When it was supplied the cophte ob-
jectec I that the weight was not exact, and the butcher in a
rage I began abusing him, after which be heaped curses on
Chris tians in general. The cophte told him that he would
corn plain to the zabet (police magistrate), and ordered the
but tiler to accompany him to the tribunal of that func-
tion .y. The butcher, thinking that the zabet would be sum
to Ile on his side, readily consented, but on arriving at the
What' ial, he found to his vexation that the zabet was no
other than his customer. The butcher immediately received
500 hi ows on the soles of his feet, and was then dismissed
with a recommendation to be more respectful for the future
to C VI ristians."
A:p.4 IDIOT BOY MURDERED BY lIIS MOTHER.—On
Sunb's y evening, the inhabitants of that part of St. Helens
knows ras Westfield were thrown into a state of great alarm
on its being discovered that an idiot boy, named William
Cool tt
re,
aged eight years, had been cruelly murdered by
his nax .ther, Ann Coulters. The house was soon surrounded,
and at .reral constables were immediately on the spot. The
pool 2hild was found nicely laid out in bed, quite dead and
cold and on examination his throat was found to have
beet s. cut so as to have caused instant death. The mother,
who • was taken into custody, admitted having cut the child's
thrc .at with a razor which was found in the room; and the
bedc :lothes were all blocdy. The mother is about 33 years
of ap 'e, and has of late been addicted to drinking. The child
was i "legitimate, and his father is in Australia. At an in-
quest t (eld on the body, yesterday, at the Ring of Bells Inn,
it app a, ared that the prisoner was living with her two bro-
thers, a nd an old woman named Paul, and her son. On
Saturdr y night she came borne in drink, and on Sunday
tnorning whilst the church bells were ringing, she mur-
dered ti e child, and afterwards laid out his body. The mo-
tive app ears to have been to get rid of him, as she was re-
ceiving the addresses of some old man, and expected shortly
to be 'm' arried ; and she appears to have taken the drink with
a view 1 .o nerving her to the commission of the horrid deed.
The jut% v returned a verdict of " Wilful murder," and she
was cola; Initted for trial at the assizes on the coroner's war-
rant.-t-4 Ilanchester Guardian.
