LION, TITESDAY EVENING, SEPT.EMI3ER B, MO,

r'RENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.

The Councils General of the Departments continue
to express themselves as favourable to a revision of
the Constitution ; but one only, that of the Pyren6es
Orientates, has demanded the prolongation of the
Presidency of Louts NAPOLEON. The C,,uncil Ge-
neral of Avignon refused, by a msjority of 18 to 8,
to entertain the proposition for a revision of the Con-

stitution.
The Courrier Francais, the organ of the Bur-
graves, has declared in favour of the monarchical pre-
tensions of the Count of CHAMBoRD.
The Society of the 10th December is making
great efforts to secure for LOUIS NAPOLEON a
favourable reception at Cherbourg, as there can be
no doubt of his great unpopularity in the navy. The
Prince DE JOINYILLB is the idol of the sailors as a
man, and the Republic is their idol as an in-
stitution. After February, 1848, M. F_ itericcus
ARAGO, Republican Minister of Marine, gained
immense popularity among the sailors by in-
cre%-ing the quantity and improving the quality
of the provisions served out to them ; but when
LOUIS NAPOLEON was elected President, one of the
first acts of his administration was to revert to the old
system of short commons for the sailors, and bad of the
sort. He will, therefore, it is feared, be received at
Cherbourg with cries of "Vive le Prince de Join-
ville ;" " Vive Francois Arago ;" and " Vive la Re-
publique 1" but surely with no cry of "Vive le
President l" or "Vive Napoleon!" save for a con-
sideration, and the society are doing their best to get
up a Napoleon demonstration at ten sous a head.
The Moniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT
of the Republic, declaring the Professorship of Mathe-
matics in the Colleges of France, held by M. LIM,
to be vacant, in consequence of his absence, and that
the amount of salary due to M. LIBRI is to be re-
turned to the Treasury.
A second decree declares that the seat in the
Academy of Science (section of geometry), hitherto
occupied by M. Lisa', is vacant, in consequence
of his having.quitted France on the 28th of Febru-
ary, 1848.
A letter from Cherbourg, of the 30th ult., states
that a steamer from Jersey, with 150 passengers, bad
been subjected to very rigid search, in consequence
of a rumour that some of the French political refu-
gees were on board. The passengers, who did not
know the motive of the rigour, were astonished at this
appatent want of courtesy after the kind reception
given by the people of Jersey to the different excur-
sionists from France.
M. GEOFFREY ST. HILAIRE has been appointed
Professor of Natural History at the Sorbonne.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK,
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
matt d at 8,000 hale,,, of which 300 American and 1,200
rernam were tak-n f‘r export, and 1,500 American on
spec,ulation. The market was quiet but eteady.—Rail-

way Starer were easier.
The following urn particulars of the Liverpool mar-
kets, as furntshcd by Messrs. Joseph Rubinson and Ce.:—
" he brisk demand for Wool notified in our lust cira
cular, has continued throughout the month just closed,
and we see no reason to imagine that any falling off is
likely to take place for the present in the consumption.
Accounts from the country bring the assurance of the
abundance of orders offering and in manufacturers'
hands. It is generally admitted that consumption is fully
kept up; we find imports light—no surplus stock of new
wool, and scarcely any of old supplies, therefore it is not
out of the boundary of rationality to. presume that the
raw material before long will go higher still, especially
as the harvest is progressing in several districts layout-
ably. Our market is cleared of nearly all useful descrip-
tions, and great complaints are made by the buyers of the
limited quantity here. Sales by private treaty have been
effected in Russian, Iceland, East India, Buenos Ayres,
Egyptian, Peruvian, and Alpaca, &c., at advanced Cates.
There is nothing done in Oporto Combing, though
Castel Bsncro and Lambe' have fund buyers. Turkey,
Italian, Russian Fleece, and other kin is of this
class, are much wanted, and would command high
prices. Scotch Laid and W'hi.e Highland meet
with ready sale at the quotations; also washed Cheviot
and Cros'; but laid Cheviot and Laid Cross move
slowly. A parcel of Laid Galloway was disposed of, and
on the whole a fair inquiry exists. In English and
Irish a large business has been transacted in combing
fleeces: want of stock curtails business, and in some
instances cunsumers hold back from giving a further
advance, which is demanded, prices being higher among
the farmers than in the general market.
"All kinds of Olive Oil experieuced a fair sale until
the last week in the month, when the maraet closed
easier; absence of speculative demand is the only ap-
parent cause. The quantity held is large, yet prices are
well maintained, considering the teeling evinced. In
Tallow rather more hai been doing; however, operators
are nut desirous of purchasing freely for the season.
For Dyewoods the demand has been to the trade, and a
good business reported; an advance on must descriptions
is established."
The St. John's News, in a very excellent article on
the Great Eastern Railway, furnishes the following in-
formaiion relative to the supposed route of the line:—
" The following is the distance to this route:—Hulilax
to Truro, 55 miles; Truro to Amherst and hay Verte,
69 miles; Bay Verte to Shediac, 26 miles; total, Hali-
fax to Shediac, 150 miles exactly, as surveyed on the
railway line. Frain this city to St. Stephen, as the
crow flies, the distance is 64 miles, but if estimated at
84 miles, as the longest route to secure a good line, the
whole distance from Halifax to the United States fron-
tier at Calais is just 340 miles.
'• A statement has tesen issued by an able engineer at
Boston. in which the proposed railway is estimated to
cost 28,000/.. or 7,0001. per mile. This exceeds by
2,0001. per mile the estimates made both by the Com-
missioners of the Halifax and Quebec Railway and by
Mr. Wilkinson. It is calculated 300 passengers will
travel daily on this railway, and. that 100 tons of freight
will also be carried daily. The fires and rates of
freight are stated at the lowest American rate of
three cents (less than twopence) per mile for
each passenger, and three cents per mile for each
ton of freight. With these rates, and an allowance of
50,0001. per annum by the English Government for the
carrying of the mails (being the sum now paid for the
Canadian mails from Boston to Montreal), it is clearly
shown that the line will Fay its working expenses, with
allowance for weer and tear, and yield an annual divi-
dend of eight per cent. on the cost—that cost being es-
timated, as we have already stated, at 7,0001. per mile."
At Amsterdam, on the Ist instant, Spanish bonds
were very animated. At Frankfurt, on the 31st ult.,
Austrian Metallics were 81i to 821, and Spanish Three
per Cents. 33 1-16 to 5-16.
The English Funds continue very dull, and there is
no improvement in prices. The foreign advices are not
of a character to stiinufute business. Consuls have been
961 fur Transfer, and 96i for Account. Bank
Stuck is steady at 215. Exchequia-bills are 64r. to 675.,
and India Bonds 84s, to 87e. premium.
Foreign Securities are inactive also, but firm gene-
rally. Spanish Fire per Cents. have been 191 Mcxi-
caa are about 29i Chilian realise 1031 to 104.
Brazil Stock realises 92k. Dutch Four per Cents. are
89.
The Railway Share Market is buoyant again. Cale-
donian, Brighton, Great Western, South-Western, and
several others ale dearer.

An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors
of shares in the Bank of British North America took
place to-day at the offices of the corporation in St.
Helen's- place, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of
electing a director in the place of the late George
Richard Robinson, Esq., M.P. for Poole.
Mr. Chapman, Esq., took the chair shortly atter one
o'clock.
The only candidate for the office of the vacant di-
rectorship was Thomas Holdsworth Brooking, Esq., the
par►ner of the late Mr. Robinson, who was unanimously
elected, and after the disposal of some formal business
the meeting broke up.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
His Honour was the only Ganmissioner sitting to-day.
IN RE SLEIGH.
This bankrupt was described as of Bedford-street,
Covent-garden, printer, and was connected with the
British Army Dispatch newspaper, and to-day was ap-
pointt d for bis last examination.
The amounts not having been filed in due time, an ad-
journment was asked for.
The greater part of the proofs were by compositors.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,

COVENT GARDEN.
This theatre closed for the season on Saturday
evening without having given us the Fidelio as
protnisrA. We hope the directors will
tw
the earliest opportunity of producing s
chef d'ceuvre of Beethoven next season it
is worth a thousand .Tuires. The seas"
opened on the 16 t h of March with Dif
Freischutz, in which Formes sustained the character
of Caspar, Massol took the little part of Killian, Ms'
dame Castellan was the Agatha, and Maralti the
Rodolph. It waa;the first appearance of Maralti, the nevi
tenor, who produced a most favourable impression, and
who has gone on steadily progressing during di°
whole season. On the 4th of April occurred one
of
the great events of the season, the dibiit of Signor
Tamberlik, the great tenor, from Barcelona ; he aP
peered as Masaniello, at once took his station as
the primo tenore of the establishment, and had
maintained it throughout triumphantly ; every ar
pearance of Signor • Tamberlik has been a
transcendent success, and the only wonder is that we
lith
have never before had him in England. On the
of April Grisi and Mario made their rentree in Pr
crezia Borg on
; Tumburini apppeared on tha
g
same occasion as Alphonso, and Mademoiselle
1)'Ol-.koi (in the absence of Mademoiselle De
North Merle) as Orsini. Shortly afterwards
as thde
was performed, Grisi of course appearing
Druid Priestess. Tamberlik was the Predecessorsan
made more of the part thin any of his prat
had ever done ; and Forine,t as °raves°, was magni"
ficent. Shortly afterwards 'Don Giovanni Was pro-
duced, with Formes as Leporello, in which character
immense
