FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

The fact of the construction of a battering ship
(vaisseau belier or vaisseau masse) was lately con-
tradicted by a Paris paper, but it is nevertheless
true. A vessel of that kind, completely cased in
iron, is now constructing at Cherbourg, under the
direction of M. Joycux, sub-engineer of naval con-
structions.

It is stated that, at the requeit of the Sultan,
an inspector-general and three inspectors of the
finance department are to be authorised to enter the
Turkish service, to establish a proper system of
keeping the public accounts throughout the Otto-
man Empire.

A letter from London sayi that several Neapoli-
tan police agents have arrived there, and that their
journey is connected with a discovery of fulminat-
ing shells or grenades. The discovery was made by
the Neapolitan Custom-house officers. The shells
are said to have been made in the form of fruit, and
as such were attempted to be passed in.
The Spanish Government intends to adopt rifled
muskets in the army. A commission of Spanish
officers has come here to study the arms used by
the French troops. • -
General Macmahon is expected to leave Paris
next week for Algiers. Count de Morny is at
Biarritz.

M. Fould left Paris yesterday for Tarbes; thence
he will go Biarritz.. The Emperor is to return to

Paris for a day or two, previously to going to the

The following private telegraphic despatches
have been received :

" MADRID, Sept. 11.
" The Espana announces that the Ferrol squad-
ron will take on board the troops of the expedition
destined to act against Morocco. General Prim is
to command."

" MARSEILLES, Sept. 11.
"It is stated at Naples that France and Eng-
land have made known the definitive conditions on
which intercourse will be resumed with the Go-
vernment of the Two Sicilies. The report was
generally credited, and details were given in con-
firmation of its truth. A rumour of a change of
ministry in Naples vas received with favour in
that city, but the fact was considered doubtful."

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.

Yesterday evening the Cunard Royal Mail steam-
ship Arabia, Captain Stone, arrived in the Mersey
from New York, with advices from thence to the
Ist instant, the usual weekly mails, 71 passengers,
and 289,680 dols. in specie on freight.
. The screw steamship City of Baltimore, from
this port, arrived at New York on the 30th ult.
The United States mail steamship North Star, from
Havre and Southampton, arrived on the, 30th. On
the same day the Hamburg screw steamer Borussia,
arrived at the same port from Hamburg and
Southampton, having left the latter port at the
same time as the North Star.

• Leavenworth advices of the 29th have been re-
ceived per express to Booneville. Considerable
excitement exists in Lawrence and Kansas City in
consequence of recent arrivals from the gold regions
of Pike's Peak, confirming the existence of ore in
abundance in that locality. The company which
went from Lawrence in June had met with good
success. The gold found is similar to that of
= Fraser River and California, Mr. Richards, who
arrived at Kansas City on the 28th-, reports that,
with yery little prospecting, satisfactory amounts
were obtained. Two men, with inferior imple-
ments, washed out six hundred dollars in one week,
in a small stream, fifty miles from Pike's Peak. A
second Fraser River excitement is apprehended.
There is no political news by this arrival at all
interesting out of the States.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the British
residents of New York was held on the 30th ult.,
in Niblo's Saloon, to commemorate the successful
laying of the Atlantic cable. Mr. Archibald, the.
British Consul, presided, and eloquent speeches
were made by Dr. Beales, Dr. Thompson, Judge
Clerke, and other distinguished gentleman. A
series of resolutions were adopted, commending the
action of all those who took part in the achieve-
ment, and expressing their determination to join
with the citizens of New York in the grand cele-
bration of the Ist.
The New York American State Council met at
Albany on the 31st ult., and, after a good deal of
palaver, agreed to hold a convention for the nomi-
nation of candidates for State offices, at Syracuse,
on the Bth of September. The Republicans hold
their convention at the same place on the same day.
A destructive tornado recently visited several of
the towns in Ulster county, destroying everything
in its course, tearing up trees, demolishing build-
ings, fences, and blowing down dwellings. At
Dewithille the houses of Mr. P. Smith and Mr.
Hoyt were prostrated. Mrs. Hoyt and her three
children were at the house of Mrs. Smith on a visit.
Mrs. Hoyt was instantly killed, and Mrs. Smith so
seriously injured that she died a few hours after.
A lady named Hornbeck was also so injured that
her life is despaired of. The three children of Mrs.
Hoyt were badly hurt. The tornado passed on its
course towards Smithville, but whether any more
lives were lost or buildings destroyed we have not
learned.

A despatch from New Orleans states that the
deaths from yellow fever on the 31st ult. were 92.
The steam-ship General Rusk arrived at New
Orleans on the 21st ult., from Brazos, Santiago,
having on board one million dollars in specie, con-
signed to-various parties in that city. This is no
doubt a portion of the conducts which lately came
from Zacatecas, Mexico, by way of Matamoras.
The usual outlets for the product of the Mexican
mines being in the hands of the priests and rob-
bers, it has been forced to seek the northern
frontier.

The reporter of the New York Herald thus de-
'scribes a huge wooden ship, building in New York
for the Russian navy, which; according to his ac-
count, is being constructed very quietly :
" The General Admiral, the largest wooden ship in the
world, now building in the- yard of W. H. Webb, Esq.,
foot of Sixth-street, East River, in this city, for the Czar
Alexander, is rapidly approaching to completion A recent
visit to her shows that she is fully planked, and all the
decks are laid. A portion of the outside and most of the
inside works are painted, and the workmen are now engaged
setting her head and putting on the carved work, which
consists of an immense double-headed Russian eagle. The
men are also engaged in fitting the large and heavy brass
castings at the stern, which are intended for the propeller
and shaft. Indeed, the centre hull of the ship is very
nearly completed, and presents a fine opportunity for those
interested or curious in such matters to examine one of the
greatest ships ever built or designed by man. The General
Admiral will be launched very soon, the ways' being in
process of construction ; and, when launched, she will be
taken te the Novelty Iron Works to receive her engines,
boilers, &e. The parties interested in her construction
keep matters so quiet that but little notice has been taken
of her by the Press, and the public consequently know but
little about her."

With reference to the cotton crop the following
advices lave been received in New York. A letter
to the New Orleans Crescent, dated Pickens, Miss.,
August 20, says :
"In regard to the cotton crop in this section of the
country, up to a few days back, it looked well. The crops
generally have had better prospects for a large yield than
for several years past; but within the last few days I learn
that the boll worm has commenced its ravages ; also the
army or cotton worm has made its appearance on many
plantations, and already destroyed 50 acres on one planta-
tion. Up to this time the boll worm has been the most
destructive. Onk--of my neighbours informed me yesterday
that they had destroyed half of the crop on many places,
and are doing very gleat damage to his own cotton, as well
as the army worm. I have just been over my place, and
find that one field of 100 acres is cut short one-fourth, and
the worm still at work, boring through full-grown bolls, a
thing I have never known Wore. In the same field the
array worm has made its appearance. Corn crops are
generally good in this county. It rains about enough here
fox the growing crops.
"'Within the last week or ten days we have made con-
siderable inquiry as to the condition and prospects of the
cotton crop in this section. From several neighbourhoods
in the black lands we. have heard complaints of the boll
worm. In the Walker Prairie, Uniontown, and Newbern
neighbourhoods, the crop has already been seriously in-
jured ; and should the cloudy and showery weather which
we had here for several days past have been experienced in
the black lands, we shall expect to hear much more general
complaints of the boll worm, and complaints also of the
caterpillar, From the sandy lands there is considerable
complaints of the rust. We have received most unfavour-
able reports from both the black and the sandy lands.--
Greensboro' (Ala.) Beacon, August 10.

The steam ship Empire City arrived at New
York on the 30th ult., from Havana with ad-
vices to the 24th ult. No decision has yet been
given in the case of the American brig Nancy.
The Captain-General had added greatly to lus
popularity by a prompt suspension of two default-
ing, *officers of the Supreme Court of the island.
Great joy was expressed on receipt of the news of
the stiecess'of the Atlantic Telegraph, and even the
suga mArkell was neglected during the ex:atm-fent
whichringueci. Sugars were active at an advance.
New crop tobacco sold at high rates.
A correspondent at Sagua la Grande, Cuba,
writing on the 12th ult., says :—" The health of
the native population of this
.port, strange to say,
is not good, owing to the intercourse with fo7
reigners, who imprudently indulge in luxuries
with which they are entirely ignorant, and diame-
trically opposite to their tastes and constitutions ;
hence diarrhoea, cholera morbus, and yellow fever,
whose contagious influences native and foreign con-
stitutions are subject to. The loss on board foreign
vessels is severe, and many of the inhabitants have
fallen victims to the scourge. The shipments of
sugar and molasses have been very large this year,
and leave but little on hand for export. Great pre-
caution is being observed here towards repelling
foreign invasion."

COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK, AUG.

There is rather more activity in money to-day. Some
of the lenders at low rates are calling in their, loans, and
the general feeling is that we shall not have quite as easy
a market in September as we have had in July and August.
In bank circles there has been some uneasiness expressed
at the extent to which the loan column has swelled, and at
the withdrawal of deposits ; a curtailment, at least for the
present, is generally expected. Exchange on Europe is
higher, there being a large demand for bills from the Ha-
vannah merchants this mail. A good business has been
done in sterling at 1091, and some of the bankers are hold-
ing at 1091. We quote bills on Paris 5 dols. 12c. to 5 dols.
111 c. The steamer which sails to-morrow will pro-
bably take about half a million in specie.
The Stock Exchange opened dull this morning, with
some excess of sellers over buyers. It seems that of all the
purchases which have lately been made, and which have
caused a general advance of three to four per cent., not
five per cent. were on account of the outside public. The
public is holding itself entirely aloof from the operations of
our stock-market. All the purchases which have been
made have been by brokers for their own account.
COTTON.—The sales embraced about 1,500 bales, closing
at about Ic. per lb. advance. Messrs. T. L. and D. W.
Calcott, in their circular, to go by tho Arabia to-morrow,
remark as follows
estimate sake of 24th to 30th inst., both in.
