FRANCE.

PARIS, Sept. 19.

La France of this evening denies that the stay
in Paris of Count Girgenti has been prolonged
from political motives.
The Gaulois announces that the Spanish generals
exiled to the Canary Islands have arrived in Anda-
lusia, where they have raised the flag of insurrec-
tion against the present dynasty. The paper adds
that General Prim, with his staff, had embarked
from London with the intention of landing on the
Valencian coast. The General is to take the com-
mand in the insurrectionary movement.

The news that the Turks had crossed the Danube
is regarded as untrue.
The Epoque asserts that the Porte had demanded
of the Greek Government an explanation as to the
fact of the existence of committees supporting the
insurrection in Roumania and Bulgaria.
Sept. 20.

All journals, except the Constitutionnel and Moni-
tear, contain reports of a revolutionary outbreak in
Spain. A rumour is current that Queen Isabella
has abdicated. A despatch received by the Spanish
Consul at Bayonne states that the Queen will leave
St. Sebastian for Biarritz at 6 o'clock to-night.
Sept. 21.

The Monileur of this morning says :—" The
Progressist party has caused a revolutionary move-
ment at Cadiz which, on account of the participa-
tion of the soldiers and sailors on board several
men-of-war, bears a serious aspect. The reports as
to the character of the outbreak are still incomplete.
Tranquillity has not been disturbed at Madrid.

" The intended interview between the Emperor
Napoleon and the Queen of Spain has not taken
place, owing to the events in Spain. The Queen
was to return to Madrid on the 20th inst."
The election in the second circumscription of
the Nievre for a deputy to the Legislative
Body has resulted in the return of M.
Bourgoing, the Government candidate, by
15,708 votes. The total number of votes cast
was 21,-179, of which only 3,894 were recorded in
favour of M. Girerd, the Opposition candidate
1,877 votes were invalid.

ASSISTANT POLICE COMMISSIONERS.—The follow-
ing provision appears in the new Act on the Metro-
politan Police:—" There shall be paid to each Assistant-
Commissioner of Police, in addition to his salary, as an
allowance for house rent, such annual sum not exceeding
£3OO, as may from time to time be directed by one of her
Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, with the assent of
the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury; and any
allowance so paid shall be deemed to be part of the ex-
penses of the Metropolitan Police."

ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.—On Saturday a prisoner
in the Hull Gaol effected a very daring and ingenious es-
cape. His name is Barnard Hopkinson, and had recently
been a seaman on board. H.M.S. Dauntless, the Humber
Guardship. Last week he was committed for trial 011 a
charge of robbery from the person. On Saturday morning
kis cell was found to be empty, and a search on t he prison
premises showed that a carefully planned and well-exe-
cuted escape had been effected. Some time during the
previous night he had left his cell, traversed two or three
corridors, and passed several iron doors, reaching the pri-
son yard unobserved. He also effected an entrance of the
store, where he found a change of clothing, and, what was
more to his purpose, some rope and poles. With this mate-
rial he managed to make a first-rate ladder, which he car-
ried across the yard and reared up against the prison wall,
which is about 25ft. high, and surmounted by several tiers
of loose bricks, placed there to prevent escape. From this
wall he got down into the outer yard, then over a lower
wall and into the street, and all efforts to capture him had
failed up to Saturday nigut.
IRON AND COAL TRADES OF SOUTH WALES.—
The iron trade of the district continues to evince a degree
of improvement as compared with what was the case
three mouths ago,
foreign buyers more especially purchas-
ing much more freely than usual. Efforts are being made
to complete the Russian contracts before the close of the
shipping season; and as there aro no other heavy engage-
ments pressing, this will no doubt be accomplished. From
the Austrian and other Continental markets there aro in-
quiries which lead to the belief that business will follow.
To the American States the exports are considerable, and
indications are not wantinLe, that there will be an increase
in the demand from that quarter provided no further tariff
restrictions arc imposed. Homo business is rather quiet,
but there is a diT)sition evinced by buyers to gradually
increase their purchases. Quotations for rails are firmer,
with every prospect that a substantial advance will be
established before long. For tin plates there is a tolera-
bly good demand. The consumption of house coal has
slightly increased, consequent upon tho change in the
weather; and the quantity of steam coal exported is in
excess of last week.
