The biddings for bills on India took place yes-
terday at the Bank of England. The amounts al-
lotted were to Calcutta £96,000, and to Madras
£4,000. The minimum price was fixed, as before,
at Is. 11id. on Calcutta and Madras. Tenders at
is. Hid. will receive about 13 per cent. ; those
above will be allotted in full. No tenders for bills
on Bombay were invited. The above rates show an
increase in the demand for remittance.
The market in London for American Securities
has been dull, with a tendency for Government
Bonds to decline in value, from sales pressed on
account of continental Bourses, which to-day has
been very marked, the 5.20 Bonds, 1862, having
trenched on 71k. The absence of any quotations by
Atlantic Telegraph has deterred buyers operating,
owing to uncertainty of the price of gold in New York.
Erie Shares have been improving up to to-day,
having advanced from 40 to 42+. Illinois Shares
remain steady. There exists a good demand for
Railroad Bonds payable in Sterling. Virginia
Sterling have also been inquired for at full rates.
Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Bonds
and Debentures have been more freely taken than
for some time past. The report of the committee
of investigation is expected to be issued this week.
These returns, when compared with those of the
corresponding period of last year, show some very
satisfactory results. On the Great Western
there is an increase of £877 ; on the North-
Western, of £5,206 ; on the South-Western, of
£2,329 ; on the Brighton, of £2,622 ; on the
Midland, of £3,159 ; on the South-Eastern, of
£°,658 ; on the Great Northern, of £2,344 ; on
tlle Lancashire and Yorkshire, of £1,270 ;on the
tßristol and Exeter, of £1,070 ; on the North-Eas-
tern, of £4,125; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln, of £1,879 ; on the Great Eastern, of
Xin '715 ; on the London, Chatham, and Dover, of
; and on the North London of £414 ; while
e North British shows a decrease of £367.

721; Erie Shares 15, to 42 43 ; and Illinois I, to
77
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been on a very limited scale, but more firmness has
prevailed. Great Western and North Western
have each improved 5, and Caledonian and Brighton
each 5 ; while South Eastern have receded 5 ; and
London, Chatham, and Dover, Manchester, Shef-
field, and Lincoln, and Midland each 5.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little varia-

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKEI—This Day.

The market opens steadily at unchanged rates.
Sales probably 10,000 or 12,000 bales.

THE EMPRESS CHARLOTTE'S kindly reception by
the Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Eugenie.
A correspondent of the Times writes—You published an
extract from M. de Keratry's work on the fall of Maximi-
lian with respect to the arrival in Paris of the Archduchess
Charlotte and her interview with the Emperor Napoleon.
The Memorial Diplomatique, well known for its Austrian
partialities and connexions, denies the correctness of some
of M. de Keratry's statement; and gives a completely dif-
ferent version. It says that on the day after the Arch-
duchess's arrival at the Grand Hotel (which residence she
had preferred to a proffered lodging in the Tuileries)
the Empress Eugenie called upon her, and that the
interview, which had a character of most affectionate
cDrdiality, lasted no less than an hour and a half.
" From the moment of the Empress Charlotte's arrival
two carriages and four, with outriders, had been put at the
disposal of the august traveller, who, on the 11th of August,
went to St. Cloud to return the visit she had received the
day before from the Empress of the French. The Emperor
(who had then just returned from Vichy, where he had been
obliged to abridge his stay on account of bad health) found
himself considerably better, but the doctors forbade his
leaving his room and even receiving his Ministers, so the
Empress of Mexico could not see him that day, but only two
days later, when, on an intimation from the Empress
Eugenie, she returned to St. Cloud, and had an interview of
several hours with the Emperor. While admitting to those
around her that the object of her journey to Europe would
not be attained, the Empress Charlotte attributed the cause
solely to the more and more strenuous opposition of the
Legislative Corps to the prolongation of the French expe-
dition. Finally, on the eve of her departure, the Emperor
and Empress went together to the Grand Hotel to take
leave of her Majesty, with whom they remained in conver-
sation for about an hour. At the moment of separation
the two Empresses repeatedly affectionately embraced each
other, and the Emperor kissed the hand of the Empress of
Mexico. A special train, with the carriage reserved for
the private use of their Majesties, was placed at her dis-
posal to take her to the Italian frontier."
BRAZILIAN AND RIVER PLATE MAILS.—The
Royal Mail Company's steamship Seine, Captain
Woolcott, with the above mail; arrived at Southampton
yesterday. She brings 50 passengers; specie, gold,
£13,202; and silver, £2,795; Spanish Bonds, £l,OOO
thirteen packages diamond; value not stated; also 2,050
bags coffee, 150 barrels arrowroot, 150 barrels tapioca,
210 rolls tobacco, 12 casks wine, and 189 packages sun-
dries. Advices anticipated by telegraph via Lisbon.
ESCAPE OF A CONVICT AT PORTSMOUTH.—As
a gang of prisoners who had been working in
the timber field on the extension ground of the Ports-
mouth Dockyard were being mustered on Monday even-
ing, to be conveyed to the prison, for the night, one of them,
a young man, 18 years of age, named Edward Smart, was
missing. Although a strict search has been made he has
not yet been recaptured; but it is thought that he is con-
cealed in the neighbourhood, where he is known to have
some friends.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE MAYOR OF DONCASTER.
—A. fatal accident occurred to the Mayor of Doncaster
(Mr. Henry Ifoodmansey) early on the morning of yester-
day. A. bazaar had been given during the preceding week
in aid of the now infirmary in that town, and the very
handsome sum of £1,250 had been realised. As a termi-
nation of the proceedings an evening party was given at
the Mansion-house on Monday evening to the ladies and
their friends who had assisted at the stalls during the pre-
vious week. All had passed off well uutil between 1 and
2 o'clock, and the party was about to be brought to a close
when the Mayor, on passing down the grand staircase to
his own parlour, slipped, and fell heavily to the bottom of
the flight of stone steps. Mr. Crawshaw had hold of the
Mayor's arm at the time and was dragged along with him
but sustained comparatively little injury. Not so, how-
ever, the Mayor, who was taken up insensible, having
sustained a severe scalp wound on the side of the head and
injured some blood-vessel, as ho bled very profusely. He
was immediately removed to his own room in the Mansion-
house, and had the best medical advice the town could
afford, but never rallied. He died at 5 o'clock. The sad
event has cast a deep gloom over the inhabitants, among
whom the Mayor was universally respected.
The Sheffield Sawgrinders' Society—a different
body altogether from the Sawgrinders' Society to which
Broadhead, Crookes, and Hallam belong—have determined
to relieve themselves, so far as possible, from the taint of
the past. To that end they have dismissed all their old
officers, appointed others in their stead, removed their
place of meeting from a public-house to a class-room of the
Mechanics' Institute, and appointed a committee to weed
the society of "suspicious" characters, and draw up a set
of rules to 14
§lil?Wtted to Mr. Tidd Pratt for registration.
