PARIS BOURSE, July 15.—Large sales for realisa-

nounced by a telegram that the Emperor Napoleon
had been received with enthusiasm by the popula-
tion of Milan. His Majesty will remain two days
at Turin, and is not expected in Pfore the
middle of next week. Threes, after having been

DEPUTATION TO THE BOARD OF TRADE.--Yes-
terday a deputation of railway shareholders, headed by Lord
Ebury and Mr. J. E. Vance, waited upon the Right Hon.
Thomas Milner Gibson. at the offices of the Board of Trade,
Whitehall, upon the subject of the present system of rail-
way legislation and the heavy local burdens imposed upon
railway companies. The deputation having been intro-
duced by Lord Ebury, Mr. Vance addressed the President
of the Board of Trade at some length upon the subjects of
the tendency of Parliament to concede competing
or otherwise unnecessary lines of railway, the ine-
quitable manner in which railways are assessed to
local rates, the infringement upon the legal income
of railways by the Post-offioe it carrying small parcels,
and the partial and oppressive manner in which Lord
Campbell's Act operates in cases of accident.—The Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, having expressed his sense of
the importance of the matters brought before him, promised
his full consideration of the subject. He was not at that
moment prepared to say whether the remedy. for the evils
complained of could be obtained by direct legislative enact-
ment. The right hon. gentleman added that he should be
happy to receive communications on the subject from the
representatives of railway companies.—Mr. Horatio Love
confirmed the statement made by Mr. Vance as to the in-
jary that was inflicted upon the old companies by schemes
promoted for the speculative purpose of selling the lines
at an exorbitant p without any regard to the public re-
if
quiremerits,—The OplOtion then withdrew.

-AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING.

The mail steamer Persia has arrived, bringing
advices from New York to the 6th inst., 227 pas-
sengers, and 753,730 dollars.
On the evening of the day she sailed passed the
Asia and a screw steamer, supposed to be the City
of Baltimore, bound in. The Vanderbilt and North
American had arrived out on the 3d inst.

Advices had been received at Washington from
the American Minister at Mexico. The aspect of
affairs had not materially changed since he last
wrote.

The high-handed acts committed by Miramon
were driving his friends from him, and his rule was
considered near at end. The British Minister's
recent eourse at the city of Mexico was severely
censured by British subjects. The Russian Minister
has had several interviews with the Secretary of
State, and it is understood he acquiesces in the
views of the American Government, as to the rights
of neutrals.

Later dates from San Francisco state that busi-
ness there was inactive. Favourable news had been
received from Pike's Peak gold regions.
Havanna advices to the 30th report sugar dull.
Exchange on London was 16 to 161. St. Domingo
advices state that all was quiet throughout the
Republic. At New York money was easy, and
there was rather more business on the Stock Ex-
change. Exchange on London, 110,1 net for bills
at short sight. The cotton market was quiet.
There was a better demand for flour. Wheat
was in limited request, and prices unsettled. Pork
was heavy and lower. Beef was heavy. Beef
hams were firmly held. Lard was dull. Freights
unchanged.

MEE7ING OF THE ROY AL AGRICUL-
TURAL SOCIETY.

WARWICK, Friday Afternoon.

The annual meeting of members of the society
was held at 10 o'clock this forenoon, at the Shire-
hall—Lord Walsingham, the president elect, in the
chair. The attendance was not large. The noble
president read a letter from the Duke of Marl-
borough, retiring president, apologising for the
absence of his grace in consequence of his parlia-
mentary duties.
Mr. SIDNEY regretted that the annual meeting
should be held at such an inconvenient day and hour,
when those who should attend were either packing
up or had gone. It was expected, when the dinner
was done away with, that there would be substi-
tuted for it some gathering where the prizes would
be delivered and the members and the council
would have an opportunity of meeting and of con-
sidering any suggestions which might be made.
This course, however, had not been followed, and
there was no ground for surprise that dissatisfac-
tion should be expressed, and that a conviction
should prevail that, with all their acknowledged
success in one department, sufficient progress bad
not been made in others connected with the inte-
rest which they represented. Whenever any indi-
vidual stood up in those meetings to offer any
suggestion, however important, he was generally
told by some gentleman in office that the introduc-
tion of the subject was contrary to their charter,
that they had no funds at their disposal for
the particular object which might be in ques-
tion, or some reasons equally unsatisfactory
to the vast body of the members. They
had heard that the secretary had been dismissed,
that the finance committee had resigned, and that
they had received a vote of thanks. They had been
informed, moreover, that a deficiency of £2,000 in
the funds of the society had been discovered, and
that it had existed for a period of four years. This
matter had been within the jurisdiction of the
finance committee, and he could not learn that there
had been any professional investigation of the ac-
counts during the four years, so that they were by
no means certain that the deficiency was not greater
than it was represented to be at the present time.
It did not matter much whether the funds at their
disposal were £l,OOO more or less, but the great
thing was that when a deficiency of £2,000 was dis-
covered the money should not disappear without the
members knowing anything about it. It was not to
be wondered at that a society like that should expe-
rience a loss of £2,000, but he did think that when a
member had any remarks to make upon the finan-
cial arrangements they should not be regarded as
impertinent. He had not one word to say against
their external management; it was highly success-
ful, but it was a reproach to their internal manage-
ment to say that with farmers infinitely more in-
telligent and enterprising than they were a number
of years ago the number of their members was not
greater. The society did not do enough to conciliate
the practical men, and in its working the represen-
tative principle, on which all the institutions of
this country was founded, was not carried out. The
council wanted an infusion of new blood. It con-
tained 21 peers, 9a ..us of veers, baronets, and.
county members, 12 squires ; five lawyers, who had
not attained to the dignity of squires, but hoped,
no doubt, to do so some day ; four engi-
neers and implement makers, one honorary member,
and 12 breeders of stock. The breeders were cer-
tainly well represented, but there was not a single
practical farmer. Their Wednesday's meetings
were much less useful than they ought :to be, for
no notice of the business to be brought forward
was given, and no reporters were admitted to com-
municate the results to the public. Sometimes a
notice of important proceedings did not appear for
twelve or fifteen months after they had taken
place. If the meetings were rendered mere con-
ducive to the interests of the society and the public,
the number of valuable papers would be largely. in-
creased. He thought the time had arrived when
the society should endeavour to accomplish
something like an agricultural survey of
the kingdom. The council should draw up a ser_es
of questions for the purpose of ascertaining what
progress had been made in the several departments of
implements, stock, and cultivation during the 20
years since the society was established, and that
they should publish a summary of the information
thus obtained at the end of 12 months.

With reference to the suggestions of Mr. Sidney,
Mr. CALDWELL Said that although he was dis-
posed to back them up,. he doubted whether prac-
tical farmers could be induced to attend the meet-
ings of the council.
The exhibition closed this evening at six o'clock.
The attendance, owing to the circumstance alluded
to by Mr. Lowe in the foregoing proceedings, was
below the average.

THE LATE SUICIDE AT CHARLTON.—Last even-
ing the inquest on the body of Mr. William E. Durand
Cumming, the circumstances of whose melancholy suicide
were reported in The Sun on Monday last, was resumed at
the Bugle- horn Tavern, Charlton. The coroner having
summed up, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that
the deceased destroyed himself while in an unsound state
of mind.
SUICIDE BY AN OFFICER'S WIDOW.—An inquest
was held yesterday at the Elephant and Castle, Camden-
town,on the body of Mrs. Rice, the widow ofan o Meer
r
who fell at Inkerman. She resided in the Albe t d
Camden-town, and had been for some time in a depressed
-roa ,
state because her pension did not allow her to bring up two
young daughters in the manner they had been accustomed
to. On Wednesday she left ho,me,.saying she should_ soon,
be back, and on the following morning her body was found
floating in the Regent's-canal. A letter was discovered in
her chamber, addressed to her daughters. It was of a most
pathetic nature. The following is a literal copy '—`‘ My
ever beloved children,—Your poor mother's heart is broken,
for how can I do justice to your education and future wel-
fare with my pittance ? They, say God is good, and so He
is ; but my mind sinks under the idea that you, my dear
girls, should be lost. When you receive this I shall be no
more. Forgive me, as I hoe the Alraightly will.—Your
distracted mother, J. L. Rica." The jury returned a ver-
dict of temporary insanity.

-THE

!CB,

(From the Times.)
We are informed that the Emperor and Empress
of the Freneh will pay an early visit to the Em-
peror of Austria at Vienna. Emperors of Austria
must hereafter be added to the category which here-
tofore was considered to comprise only " a spaniel,
a wife, and a walnut tree." The more you beat
Emperors of Austria " the better they be." There
is something, however, to be said for the placability
of Francis Joseph. In the days when " fastness "
was fashion, it was not uncommon for a spirited
young Mohawk, confident in his skill in the noble
art of self-defence, to pick a quarrel with some sturdy
stupid drayman. He fought him from mere
gatete de cceur, and he thrashed him to a standstill
by sheer science. When he thought he' had pun-
ished him sufficiently he tossed a guinea •to the de-
feated giant, and bade him drink his health. The
sulky colossus felt that after all he ,was the better
for his drubbing, so he swabbed hiir: face, and, as he
went off to indulge his thirsty propensities, he mut-
tered " that after all the gentleman was a gentleman,
and had behaved as such." There is certainly no rea-
son why Austria should bear rancour against France.
France has kicked her up stairs. Napoleon 111. has
a right to be received as a benefactor by Francis
Joseph. If it be true that when Monarchs rave
their people weep, the converse of the apophthegm
should be seen at Vienna. The Austrian populace,
who cheered their Emperor when he went forth to
war, will now see him as tame as a horse which has
been under the hand of Mr. Rarey. All that he
can do will be insufficient to show his affection for
his generous conqueror. The palace of the German
Cresars will outshine itself, and the reviews upon
the glacis will exhibit once more to Louis Napoleon
the perfection of Austrian drill. It must be a plea-
sant and fully compensating thought to some re-
leased conscript among the crowd who carries a
ball in his kneepan, or to some girl whose sweet-
heart lies ten feet deep in a pit at Magenta, or
to some woman whose husband is dying at Sol-
ferino, that the two Emperors are so happy • that
their little tiff is over, and that they have learnt
to understand the identity of their interests, and,
like two virtuous men, to exclaim—" Brother,
brother, we were both in the wrong !" These un-
reasoning spectators may perchance look back and
sigh over dashed hopes and crushed happiness,
and the disabled conscript may grind his teeth
under the pain of that sharp twinge, and may
wish that his master had found out his mistake
before Magenta had crippled him for life ;
but these are rebellious and forbidden thoughts.
There is no more in common between subjects
and Emperors now that legitimacy is so strong
in Europe than there is between the ivory
pieces on the chessboard anu the immortal beings
who play the game. Shall the pawns complain
because they have been sacrificed in a game on
which no stake depended ?
How sweetly will the acquaintance commenced
at Villafranca grow into friendship and strengthen
into intimacy at Vienna ! The familiar intercourse
of every day will discover new chords of sympathy.
There can be no want of topics both for merriment
and for serious congratulati.n. Even Francis
Joseph, struggling through fierce indignation, may
at last see the comical point of his friend Kossuth's
present position. Perhaps he may propose to his
ally, pour comble to the excellent joke, to hang the
Hungarian before he has quite recovered from his
surprise, or while he may even yet consider him-
self the ally of France. Cavour s position, also,
will be food for exquisite mirth, boisterously in-
dulged by the Austrian, and still more keenly
relished in quiet sardonic internal enjoyment by
the Corsican. Victor Emmanuel, also, who has
been treated with an indignity which even Austria
must think revenge enough, and who so humbly
thanks the magnanimity of the Emperor and trots
off with his bone—he also will afford food for
many a jest. He does not know so well as France
and Austria know what the future is preparing.
There will be also so much to settle as well as to
laugh at. Who is to restore those Grand Dukes ?
If Austria does it, it must as a member of the
new Italian Confederation, and it may be a useful
precedent to her, whereby she may in all after
time claim free passage for her troops over all the
land of Italy. By the retention of Borgoforte she
has secured a safe passage of the Po, and immediate
access to Modena, Parma, Tuscany, and the States
of the Church. The most witty thing to do would
be to make Sardinia restore these exiled Grand

Dukes as the price of her new acquisitions. --(5;
France might reach them with her fleet through
Leghorn. There are advantages in each of these
courses, and the interest of the conversations at
Vienna cannot flag while such topics remain to be
discussed. Moreover, the Emperor of the French
will have to expound to Francis Joseph all the
advantages of his position as acting President of
the new Italian Confederation. He will doubtless
him that he now is to Italy what he is to
Germany—the great dominant Power who does as
he pleases. If Germany, with its obstinate and
self-reliant race, and its 16 millions of popula-
tion in her mißor States, and if Prussia, with
her 15 millions, can make no head against Austria
in the German Confederation, how smooth will
be her ascendancy in Italy ! If Bavaria, and
Hanover, and Wurtemberg are so invariably
attracted to her in her orbit, is she likely
to have trouble with Lucca or San Marino ?
Before the treaty of Villafranca Austria was only
five-and-thirty millions, Lombardy included. Now
she is fifty millions. Before Solferino, Austria was
only an intruder in Italy ; now she is as one " to
the manner born." Francis Joseph will learn to
bless the happy
time all Europe was
day when his Imperial brother first
determined to conquer his friendship. Before that
importunately requiring
Austria to keep within her own boundaries, and to
give up that political and military influence in the
States south of the Po which had, as Sardinia
and England asserted, been the chief cause of mis-
government, and misery, and discontent in Italy.
Now she leads back her satraps in triumph to those
Duchies, and has become their Protector by virtue
of Villafranca. She will count their votes in the
Confederation, and use them upon every necessary
occasion, in conjunction with Naples and Rome, to
reduce the influence of Sardinia to a nullity.
There is another advantage upon which the
Emperor of Austria deserves to be congratulated.
When the Americans were discussing the pro-
priety of annexing Texas, a shrewd old repre-
sentative of one of the back States opposed it,
bdeause, he said, if this place became one of the
Ug. 'ed States there would be no place to run to.
" was in the old Roman Empire. So it will
'' be in Italy. As soon as this Confedera-
a.is forreA there will be an end to the nuisance
Itd "an atriotism. There will be no running
N. or from Rome to Genoa. The Con-
cation will, of course, be upon the German
model, for there is no other. Each and every State
will engage to assist each and every other against
national attack and internal disturbance. People
have gone about saying " Leave the Italians to
settle their disputes, and rely upon it that improve-
ments will take place." That was what might
have been feared at Vienna. To banish this fear
3Nti. -Gleqn, the saviour of Russia, the benefactor of
Sar Lia, and the protector of AustriF , has invented
this 6scheme of Confederation, which closes the
prospect of all opposition and of all political im-
provement. All these must be pleasant subjects of
conversation at Vienna; but the loudest laugh of
all must be when the Emperors remember that
there were dupes in the world who believed that
all these great battles were fought for great princi-
ples, and that the French Emperor was attacking
the Austrians in order to make Italy free.
We have no right to be indignant at all
this. The Emperor Napoleon has not deceived
us, for we have never trusted him, or even
affected to trust him. It is not against us that
those jibes and pleasantries can be pointed which
our correspondents at Paris and Vienna now speak
of. We have never been of those who expect grapes
from thorns or figs from thistles. We have always
felt and said that a man of the Emperor's charac-
ter can have only one set of instincts and one course
of policy. He can deceive only those who desire
to be deceived. By this peace he has annihilated
the Moderate Constitutional party in Italy, and he
has given the lie to the clumsy calumny that his
course of action was ever influenced by personal
fear of the emissaries of the Red Republicans. In
the interest of despotism he has done wisely in sup-
pressing this, to him, most dangerous Moderate
party, and in placing the antagonism once more
between crazy revolutionists and absolute rulers.
Henceforward Italy is to have no choice except be-
tween order enforced by tyranny and disorder
threatened by enthusiasts. The Emperor has done
his work with strength and craft, but he could not
have effected it so easily had he not had the most
obstinate self-deceiving fools of our age to work
withal.

THE GREAT FLOAT AT BIRKENHEAD.—At the
meeting of the Mersey Dock Board yesterday, Mr. Boult
asked the Chairman of the Works Committee whether the
attention of the committee had been directed to the possi-
bility of converting the large low-water basin at Birkenhead
into a dock, with the view of saving the expense of sluices,
&c., and whether any communication had been made with
the railway companies upon that subject. He expressed
some doubt upon the ultimate success of the project, but
was stopped by the chairman from entering into that sub-
ject, on the ground of its being irregular. The Chairmen
of the Works Committee replied, that they never had con-
templated, nor did he believe they ever would contemplate,
any deviation from the plan of the Birkenhead works all
prescribed by the existing Aet of Parliament; but if a
change should at any time be deemed desirable, any pr.', ;
positions would receive their careful consideration. At
present, however, the committee had but one intention,
and that was to carry out the authorised rplau in its in-
tegrity.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Bank of England return, completed to the
13th inst., show some rather important alterations.
In the bullion there is a small diminution, owing
to the disbursement of coin usual at the period
when the dividends are paid to the public.
The public deposits, from the same cause,
have been lessened about four millions, and a
considerable addition has been made to the private
balances. The other securities show a large de-
crease, caused by the repayment of loans during
the shutting of the transfer books. In the reserve
of notes there is also an extensive falling off, as the
active circulation has been augmented by about a
quarter of a million sterling. In the other items of
the balance-sheet there is no alteration to call for
special remark ; they will be seen in the subjoined
table:—

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon pre-
sented a further improvement in the rates on
Vienna and Trieste ; the quotation for Amsterdam,
however, was rather lower.
At the Bank of England yesterday there were
no balllion operations of importance.
The inquiry for discount accommodation in

There has been very little fluctuation in the
Market for public securities to-day, but busi-
ness, as usual, at the close of the week has
been very dull. Consols have 951 t, and 9511,
at which they are now quoted. Speculation
is quieter, and the money business is too
limited to cause much animation. The Foreign
Stock and Share Markets have also been rather
heavy. The New Three per Cents, are steady at 95t 96 ; the Reduced are flat at 951 -Z-; the New 29per Cents, are marked 791; India Loan Deben-
tures are firm at 951, and Exchequer Bills, at 275.

MINES.--The Mining Share Market has been
snore active, and there is a decided tendency to a good rise
in dividend and other shares, and if we may judge by the
number of orders flowing into the market, a great increase
of business will follow. We were not mistaken in stating,
en 25th June, that we anticipated an early rise in the stan-
dard for copper ore, and both the standard and the price of
metallic copper have advanced this -week ; and the rise in
tin is equal to about £l3 per ton. Money is cheaper, and
'eery abundant, and the bank has reduced its rate of dis-
count to 21 per cent. Alfred Consols, 51 6 ; Bedford United,
