Liverpool Cotton Market---This Day.

Market opens very quiet, and prices are about
below yesterday's rates. Sales probably 5,000
bales.

The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric situation yesterday :
" A strong barometrical pressure is extending over
Norway, Holland, and France, where the wind is
moderate generally between N. and E., and the
sky clear. The mercury marks 771 on the coasts of
Norway and 772 at Yarmouth, as well as at
Brussels. The gales which are occurring on the
Atlantic cause the barometer to decline on the
western shores of France and England, and pro-
dace strong breezes over Norway. The sea, gene-
rally smooth, is rather rough at Gibraltar. On
Wednesday evening there was lightning at Madrid."
At Paris yesterday the weather was again fine. At
three in the afternoon the thermometer marked
17 6 Centigrade (63 3-5 Fahrenheit.)
A letter from Brussels to the Echo de Luxem-
bourg says :--46 The period for holding the camp,
which is ordinarily fixed for July or August, is post-
poned this year to the middle of September. Each
regiment of infantry will send one battalion there,
each cavalry regiment two squadrons, and the
artillery two batteries. The entire army will be thus
represented and passed in view for the first time by
the Bing, on his return from the visit which he is
to pay to Luxembourg."

The muncipalities —of Dusseldorf, Dortmund,
and Hagen in Westphalia have decided on send-
ing to the King of Prussia a remonstrance
against war. The Prussian journals continue
to publish accounts of the hostile manifestations
of the populations whose interests are compromised
by the mobilisation of the landwehr. In Austria,
on the contrary, the enthusiasm for war is as great
as in Italy.
A'-fatal accident occurred the day before yester-
day on the Vincennes railway. I. Doucet, a mer-
chant, residing at La Varenne, was sitting outside
the imperial of one of the carriages, when he endea-
voured to pass from one compartment to another,
but at that moment the train entered a tunnel, and
the unfortunate gentleman's head coming in contact
with the roof of the arch, he was thrown in the per-
manent way. His skull had, however, been so fear-
fully smashed that death was instantaneous.

A communication from Dresden says :—" The
armaments of Saxony are being urged on with the
greatest activity. The ordinary effective of the war
footing will be exceeded, and to obtain that result
soldiers have been taken below the regulation height.
Nobody has objected, for the public sentiment is most
favourable to the present dynasty. The measure
by which Bavaria has mobilised her army has pro-
duced a great sensation throughout Saxony. The
most complete understanding reigns between the
two Governments.
