FRANCE.

Additional particulars have been:received respecting
the reception of Prince Louis Napoleon on his journey
to St. Quentin. His arrival at the different towns on the
route could not have created greater enthusiasm
or have elicited from the population more
- gratifying- tributes of their affection towards himself per-
sonally. Taking his departure from Paris on the Northern
Railroad, the President was accompanied by Colonels
• Vaudry. Edgar Ney, Major Fleury, Captain Toulongue,
Dr. Conneau, and the Ministers of War, Public Works,
and the Interior.
At Pontoiee. at Oreil, at Compeigne, at Chaunay, and
at last at St. Quentin, the arrival of the Prince was the
signal for the most vociferous cheers and reiterated
shouts of " Vive la President!" " Vive Napoleon!" The
religious ceremony of the inauguration of the railroad is
thus deseribed :—" As soon as each person occupied the
place allotted to him, the Bishop of Soissons, with
mitre on head and crozier in hand, advanced a few paces
to where Louis Napoleon was seated, and addressed him
in the midst of universal silence. He said that religion was
most happy when blessing the useful industry of man, and
calling down the favour of Heaven on the improvements
and inventions useful to mankind. He congratulated
the President on the readiness with which he had
yielded to the wishes of the inhabitants to open in per-
son the railroad. He reminded him that his uncle had
also visited, when Consul in 1801, and when Emperor in
1310, that spot, to encourage and hasten on the imraense
. works of the canal of St. Quentin. The President re-
plied in a becoming manner to the Prelate; and
immediately afterwards the engines advanced to receive
the episcopal benediction. The bishop descended from
the platform, and sprinkling holy water on the road and
on the engines, pronounced three times a solemn blessing
on all. The moment the last pious words were uttered
the band of the National Guard struck up, and the
people uttered a shout of Viva Napoleon,' which was
again and again taken up. The President kissed the
consecrated amethyst on the bishop's finger,
and received his paternal salute in return.
Afterwards the Prince mounted on horseback and re-
viewed some 20,000 of the line and National Guards,
being greeted with cries of " Vive Napoleon!" and
sometimes of " Vire l'Empereur ! " At the grand ban-
quet given to the President of the Republic, at six o'clock,
in the theatre, in reply to the toast of his health, the
Prince delivered the following speech:—
" Gentlemen,—Were I always free to follow my own
wishes, I should come amongst you without pomp or
ceremony. I should like to mingle with your labours,
as with your festivities, unknown, in order that I may the
better judge, by myself, of your desires and of your sen-
timent. But it seems as if destiny always placed a barrier
between you and me, and I regret that I have never been
able to be a simple citizen of my country. I passed, as
you know, six years of my.life at some leagues dis-
tance from this town ; but high walls and moats sepa-
rated me from you ; and, on this day, the duties of an
official position also separate me from you. Thus it is
that you scarcely know me ; while pains aro taken and
efforts employed to discredit in your eyes every act of
mine and every sentiment. Happily, the name I bear
re-assures you, and you know from what a high
source I have derived my convictions. The mis-
sion I have to perform now is not a new one ; its
origin and its object are alike known. When near 43
years ago the First Consul stood oa. this spot to inaugu-
I rate the Canal of St. Quentin, as Ido now to inaugurate
your railroad, he came to say to you, "franquillise
yourselves! the storm has passed away. The great truths
of our Revolution shall triumph through me ; but,
with equal energy, with equal force, I will re-
press modern errors and ancient prejudices, re-
store security, and encourage all useful enterprises.
New sources of industry will arise to enrich Our
4lds, and improve the condition of our people.' You
heeep only to look round, my friends, to be convinced
that;he has fulfilled his promise. My task is this day
similar, though much less difficult. We must always
accept the good instincts of the revolution, but combat
boldly the bad ones. It is necessary to endow the
people with institutions of beneficence and relief, such
as are befitting, and, above ail, convince them that
order is the first source of prosperity. But, according to
me, order is not the word void of sense which
each man interprets at his fancy. According to me,
order is the maintenance of all that has been, freely
chosen and consented to by the people. It ie thiena-
tional will triumphing over all factions. Cotitakseeehen,
citizens of St. Quentin! Continue to do honourffitehe
nation by the products of your industry. Have" lionfi-
deuce in my exertions and those of the Government to
protect your enterprises, and to ameliorate the condition
of your workmen."
On resuming his seat, Louis Napoleon was hailed with
prolonged acclamations.
It was observed at Chaurnay that the Prince met M.
Odilon Barrot on the platform, and that, for the first
time since the retirement of the latter from office, they
conversed together for a long while in a manner the
moat friendly and familiar.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, June 11.)
SUGAR.—To-day the West India Sugar market presented
a more animated appearance, and a good business was con-
chided at the rates of Friday ; but refiners were the chief
operators. At auction 150 hhds 16 tierces 200 brls Barba-
does went freely at stiff prices—good brown, 35s 6d to 365;

purchases to-day amounted to 660 hhds, &c.

queit for home trade purposes, and rather lower rates were
acceded to; brown grocery lumps selling at 49s to 49s 6d.
British crushed Sugar is held for 28s to 295, but not much
business was done.
MAumnrs.—This afternoon there was not much demand
for Mauritius Sugar, and prices declined ed per cwt. Of
7,800 bags and 111 cks offered at auction rather more than

half sold, low to good yellow at 35s to 383 6d, fine 39s to 41s,

were offered, and not above half sold at rather lower rates;
soft brown went at 28s 6d to 30s, fair and low yellow 30s 6d
to 325. Bengal met with less attention, and former rates
were with difficulty kept up. A small part only of 2,100
bags at auction found buyers, white Benares at 37s 6d to 42s
6d, soft yellow 31s to 355, and brown 29s to 30s per cwt.
FORZIGN.—To-day a fair business was concluded by private
treaty in Foreign Sugar to supply export orders, and former
rates are well supported, indeed some parties will not sell
thereat. None was submitted to public sale.
MoLAssEs.—•ln the market for West India there has been
snore activity this week and prices are firmer for all sorts.
The sales are 300 puns Antigua at 16s 6d and 100 puns
Porto Rico at 16s per cwt, indeed at tbe3e rates there are
not free sellers, although the stock yet far exceeds that of the
past veason, and deliveries are not of a more satisfactory na-
ture for home use or export. A fair business has been done
in East India at 12s to 13s.

foreign, at the former value, and by private treaty 1,000 bags

firmnes4 on the part of holders. Full terms have been paid
for West India, and sales to a fair extent have been made
by private treaty for home-trade purposes. None has been
submitted to public sale.

presented a dull aspect, and at auction 2,000 bgs 25 cks were
taken in at 45s to 465, but a few lots damaged sold at 38s to
425. For Plantation the demand was limited, and prices de-
clined 2s per cwt, whilst of 650 casks 700 bags at auction not
much more than half sold ; good ord at 42s 6d. to 43s 6d, fine to
line tine ord 44s to 438, low mid 50s to 525, mid 53s to 56s

of good ord Native Ceylon have been sold at 42s per cwt.
TEA,—Public sales are declared for to-morrow, and on
the 26th about 900 pkgs Assam will be offered. Congou of
common quality is still in good request by shippers and
home dealers ; the supply is yet small and buyers
are compelled to pay 9id to 9id per lb. Of
medium sorts several parcels have been at 10d to
Is, and other kinds met with a brisker sale at
15 Id to Is 90 per lb., but of the latter supplies do not dimi•
fish. Scented and Pekoe Tea is not cheaper, Still few
buyers are to be met with, and there is a good supply.
Greenaea is to be obtained at rather lower terms, but town
and country dealers cannot be induced to extend their pur-
chases, and there is a plentiful supply.
_ SPlcts--To-day Cassia Lignea was in much better de-
',nano, and realised an advance of 2s to 33 per cwt.
At public sale 400 chests found buyers; pile one at 89s, pile

all purposes, but holders do not appear disposed to accede to
any further reduction. Prices vary for 20 to 29 per cent over

sorts 3s 2d to "s 10d, and high flavoured sorts 4s to 4s 6d.
Although Leeward Island can be obtained at is aid to la 40
proof, yet the business concluded has been small. East
India continues to meet with little attention, and there are
sellers at the low rates of Is 21I'd to Is 3d proof. Only limited
orders have been executed for Demerara at Is 100 to 2s 3d
for 28 to 40 per cent over ppof. For Brandy the market

rate in Saltpetre, still prices underwent no further reduction.

25s to 255 6d ; 600 bags Madras. good five per cent 25s 6d.
INDIGO.— Arrivals of East India are about 3,000 chests
smaller than last year. Holders have confidence, and a fair
home as well as export demand prevails, whereas the rates
obtained are fully equal to last Quarterly Sale, and rather
above for picked lots. At a slight reduction there are seve-
ral buyers for all purposes. Spanish is in small supply, and
wanted at late prices.
TALLOW.—Previous rates are still sustained for Russian
on the spot, although the demand from town and country
dealers has been limited, but stock in first and second hand
is not equal to this time last year. The value of first sort
P.Y.C. is 36s 6d to 37s per cwt, but those prices cannot be
obtained for large parcels. Only limited contracts have
been entered into for delivery in last three months of the
year, although sellers appear disposed to accept 383 to
38s 3d. Home melted, although offered at the low rates of
35s to 35e 6d nett cash, has been purchased with reluctance,
and there is no decrease of supply. Other kinds of
