Several arrests had been made at Neuilly, but no
cause is assigned. Arrests are also said to have taken
place at Lyons, in consequence of a discovery that the
weavers had entered into an association for a general
turn-out, and had formed depots of arms of a partial
sort, with a view to an attack upon the authorities of
the department of the Rhone. The Prince de MONT-
MORENCY-ROBECQ is to be tried at the Paris Assizes
" on the charge of having distributed and sold signs or
symbols intended to propagate the spirit of rebellion
or disturb public peace."

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—There has
been a considerable increase in the number of deaths
during the week ending Saturday, July 20, the num-
ber being 896, while in the previous week it was 831
—average 900. The increase has taken place chiefly
in diseases of the first class called zymotic, among
which are small-pox, scarlatina, diarrhoea, and typhus.
The deaths from scarlatina were 72, average 39 ; diar-
rhoea 40, average 27 ; typhus 34, average 28 ; and from
small-pox 37, average 11. The deaths from consump-
tion and inflammation of the lungs, and, indeed, from
most others, are considerably below the average. Of
the 37 who died of small-pox, 24 had not been vac-
cinated. The following is an analysis of the list of
violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, five cases, of
which 1 was by a carriage, and 3 by falls ; wound, 1
case; poison, 3 cases, of which 2 were accidental, and
1 a suicide; drowning, 9 cases, of which 4 were acci-
dental, 1 suicide, and in 4 it is not stated whether they
were accidental or otherwise; suffocation by foul air,
1 case; and " accidental" (an imperfect verdict), 1
case. Total 16 males (including 1 case put to tetanus)
and 4 females.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Liverpool Cotton Market assumed rather a quieter
appearance yesterday, but prices were firm. A large busi •
ness was done in Railway Shares at firm, and in many in-
stances, advanced rates : Birmingham and Gloucester,
Quarter Shares, 26*; Dublin and Cashel, Si. 3s. 9d. ; Eastern
Counties, 125 ; Ditto, Registered, 145 ; Edinburgh and Glas-

We are glad to find that the statement that has appeared in
the columns of most of our contemporaries, that difficulties have
arisen in the appointment of qualified persons, in the Dutch
colonies, to certify the growth of sugars, the produce of free
labour, imported into this, country, at the re-
duced rate of duty as contained in the new
Sugar Bill, is without foundation. This was eli-
cited by a question put by Mr. Labouchere in the House of
Commons last night, to which Mr. Gladstone replied that par-
ties duly qualified to give certificates of origin as to sugars ex-
ported from the Dutch East India Colonies had been ap-
pointed.
There are not any late Colonial arrivals this morning.
The public Securities ars again drooping. Consols have
realised 995 to 994 for immediate transfer, and 995 to 4 for
the Account. The Commissioners have taken 10,0001. Re-
duced at 1001 Exchequer Bills have been done at 78s. to
80s. premium ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1024
to h • the Reduced at 1035 to 103 ; and the Three per Cents.
at 1004 to 4. Bank Stock is marked 1994. Stock in general
continues scarce.
The Foreign Securities are rather passive; and, as regards
the South American Bonds, there is not much disposition
to invest in them. The Committee meeting yesterday was
not satisfactory, and Colombian have dropped to 134 i•
Mexican are 36k to i for the Actives, and 165 for the De-
ferred. Brazilian Bonds have been at 834 to 84. Portuguese
Converted Stock is lower again, being 443 to 434. Russian

The Railway Shares continue to evince considerable firm-
ness, and there is a good business doing. Great Western are
30 to 31 ; Birmingham, 130; South-Western, 453 to 5 ; and
Birmingham and Gloucester, 54 to a premium. Brighton
are 18 to 4 discount.

SALE OP FOSSIL REMAINS.—Thursday afternoon
the above sale took place at the auction-rooms of Messrs.
J. C. and S. Stevens, King-street, Covent-garden. The col-
lection ads the last that had been formed by Mr. Hawkins, a
gentleman not only well known for his researches in geo-
logy, but as having supplied the British Museum with a
valuable collection of remains, similar, though highly supe-
rior, to those disposed of at the present sale. The prin-
cipal lots and their prices were as follows :—A magnificent
specimen of plesiosaurus, measuring six feet two inches long
by three feet five inches wide, in a strong oak case, 50/. Ba. ;
a specimen, showing various portions of the ichthyosaurus,
seven feet ong by four feet wide, 6/.105.; another specimen
of the ichthyosaurus, nearly perfect, 8/. ss. ; head and verte-
brim of an ichthyosaurus, six feet six inches long by two feet
five inches wide, in oak case, 5/. ; another specimen, showing
head, one paddle, and various bones, five feet eleven inches
by two feet one inch, 9/. 108. Most of the above lots were
purchased by members of the Geological Society.
The town of Bonifacio, in Corsica, was thrown into
consternation on the 10th by
the disappearance of M. Em-
manuel Ru, collector of taxes, aged seventy-four, and one of
the most wealthy men of the canton. He went out in the
morning with his agent to visit a fine property, which he
possesses at Sanguillano, about half a league off. As he did
not return in the evening, Madame Rtt became alarmed, and
a minute search was made for him. At Sanguiliano his hat,
cane, and riding-coat were found in the hall, as if placed
there on his arrival. For four days the search continued,
when the arrival of the agent explained the'whole affair.
They had been both carried off by banditti, who detained
M. Ru until a sum of 12,000 francs in hard cash should be
paid down as his ransom. Should their demand not be
agreed to, they threatened the most cruel treatment. The
authorities were to assemble the next day to decide what was
to be done.—
