IMPORTS,

Cotton Piece Goods—The transactions in our import
market during the past fortnight have been to a very mode-
rate extent, and the prices of all gray goods have declined
from 2a. to 4a. per piece.
Bleached and Fancy Goods—These remain in price and
demand at our last quotations.
Yarns—Low numbers of both mule and water are firm,
and have slightly advanced. Green yarn is dull and de-
clined.

Metals—These are in fair demand.

EXPORTS.

Cotton—The rates have declined, and the market has
assumed a quiet tone.

Oil Seeds.—These have been in little demand, and prices
have given way.

to 17s. 6d. to Liverpool.

PARIS, SUNDAY.
The Emperor went to the Opera Comique last
night. The escort, which was rather strong, con-
sisted of Cuirassiers. His Majesty left a little be-
fore 12 o'clock. There was a large attendance of
serjeants de Zille, and. the crowd was kept back to
the side paths for some time before he left the.
Theatre. There was a considerable number of
people in the streets, owing, no doubt, to the
masked ball at the French Opera in the rue
Lep elletier.
The object of the visit of M. Latour d'Auvergne
to Paris is to take the Emperor's last instructione
on the question with Piedmont, where people are
getting impatient, and perhaps suspicious. There'
is some rumour of his remaining here and taking
the place of M. Walewski, and of General Niel
going to Turin.
A letter from Toulon, dated Friday last, an-
nounces the arrival in that port, on the 16th inst.,
of the Russian three-decker ship of war Sinope—e
name which reminds us of the surprise and destruc-
tion of the Turkish squadron and the massacre, Of
the crews by the Russian fleet of the Black Sea in
the early part of the war.
