FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

FIIANCE.—The Fate /
Mn Monday, in a style of

previous shows with which

celebrated in Paris,

the tastes of his Parisian subjects. The garden of the
Tuileries, the Place de la Concorde, and the Champs Ely-
sees, were made like fairy land, by the judicious display of
a million of lamps, electric lights, and lustres. Boat races
took place on the Seine and at Bercy, 150,000 troops de-
filed before the Emperor and his court in the noble square
which fronts the ancient palace of the Bourbons, while the
equestrian artistes of the Hippodrome and the Cirque
Napoleon appeared in two spectacles in the Champs de
Mars, ‘namely, " The Field of the Cloth of Gold" and
a The Siege of Lahout." Madame Saqui, though seventy-
six years of age, danced with incredible agility on the
tightrope, and M. Binslay performed a variety of feats in
his enchanted ball. In the evening the theatres were
thrown open gratuitonsly to the public.
The rumoured approaching marriage of Prince Napo-
leon with a daughter of Queen Christina, which has been
repeatedly contradicted, may now be looked upon as quite
a settled thing. The attentions of the Prince to the
young lady, at the Fgte, were very marked. The settle-
ments _are already in course of discussion, and Marshal
_Jerome will shortly pay a visit to Queen Christiana at
Havre-to make a formal demand of her daughter's hand.
GREECE.—The Athens journals announce that the
Chamber of Deputies has passed a law prohibiting the
exPortation of corn during 1853, and giving authority to
the King to prolong the prohibition by Royal decree. The
new law also abolishes the sliding scale, and establishes a
fixed duty upon imports of corn.
S'BDElc.—A letter from Stockholm, of August 8, says :
Yesterday the Chamber of Commerce declared Ham-
burgh,. Altona, Dantsic, and Archangel infected with
cholera, and all the ports of the White Sea, and those on
the north of Germany suspected. The cholera has burst
out at Cariscroon, and there have been isolated cases in
several other places."
AITSTRIA.—The conference of the representatives of the
four Powers continues sitting at Vienna. The German
papers say they are now considering the question of foreign
refugees hi,Turkey.

The Austrian post.office authorities have given notice,
that the mouth of the Danube being impassable, the Con-
stantinople mail will be forwarded every Wednesday, by
way of Trieste. Letters for Jassy will be sent every Thurs-
day, by way of Galatz. 30 Austrian vessels laden with
Corn are to be towed up the river from Sulina.
RUSSIA.—The Emperor of Russia has also had his great
naval review. On the 15th of July he inspected the
manoeuvres of a fleet of sixty-three sail; with which he
declared himself highly satisfied. The Journal of St.
Petersburg has been publishing ostentatious statistics of
the number of troops conveyed along the Moscow and
Petershiirg railway since its opening. Intelligence from
Vienna-states-that ambassadors 'extraordinary front the
Schap of Persia had arrived at St. Petersburg, accompanied
15-the nephew of Prince Dolgoruki, the Russian ambassador
in Persia. The Czar has given the Hospodars their free
choice whether to go to Constantinople, in obedience to the
summons of the Porte, or to remain in their respective
territories. -
TIIRKEY.—The latest accounts from the Danubian
frontier speak of the high state of preparation of the army
°,,f Omer Pasha, and the activity of that officer. The state
odiscipline, it is said, is very severe, every necessary is
bought and paid for, and any insult to a Christian,
Vlach rarely occurs, is promptly punished. The muni-
tions of war of every kind are abundant, and of the best
tY. There are about 80,000 men now concentrated

the Court of St, Peters-

fore, must follow from the acceptance of this note by
Russia, not from its acceptance of the Anglo-French pro-
positions, and the answer of Count Nesselrode cannot be
received at Constantinople before the 10th of this month.

An interview took place on the 2nd instant between
Redschild Pacha and the Persian Ambassador. It is
stated that the Court of Teheran has given full and posi-
tive assurances of its support in case of need. The Minis-
ters of Persia concur in all that has taken place, and offer
themselves as Musselmans in favour of a Musselman
cause. They announce officially that they have taken
the necessary measures for collecting an army of 60,000
men at Sultanieh, which they place at the disposal of the
Sultan.

The Spanish General Prim arrived at Constantinople

on the la instant. He professes to come on a scientific
mission, but is ready, in case of war, to undertake a mili-
tary excursion in the direction of Schumla. He has visited
the principal Ministers, and has been courteously received.
He also has had a gracious audience of the Sultan. Count
Govane, a Sardinian etat major, has also arrived at Con-
stantinople with a view to visit Schumla, in the event of

It is inferred from the latest accounts that the Porte is
far from being disposed to fall in with the negotiations.
Dissatisfaction with the dilatory conduct of the English
Government is believed to prevail in Turkey. A rumour,
not the first of its kind, was afloat that Lord Stratford
shared the feeling himself, and desired to resign.
MAIIRITIUS.—By the Harbinger we have dates from
Mauritius to the 21st of June. The sugar crop had
been almost entirely shipped. The quantity gone forward
had reached 156,000,000 lbs., being 28,000,000 lbs. more
than that shipped at the same period last year. There
were still upwards of 4,000,000 lbs. to be shipped, which
were chiefly syrup sugars and " vesou" of inferior quality.
No material change had taken place in the prices of the
principal articles of consumption since the departure of
the Queen of the South. The commercial intelligence from
the Australian colonies had caused great activit
Mauritius markets for provisions and spirits.
THE PACIFIC.—By the steamer Parana we have ad-
vices from Valparaiso to the Ist of July, and Callao, July
11. Chili was tranquil and prosperous. The minister
of finance had presen

in the

showing an increase in the revenue of 1852 over 1851 of
$1,173,572. The President of the Republic delivered his

ane,Avhich gave

an excel-

lent synopsis of the rapid progress of the country

The news from Pei=a is interesting. Affairs between
that country and Bolivia were rapidly approaching a state
of war. The first act of hostility, was the stoppage of

decree of Peru, levying 40 per cent. transit duty on all
merchandise passing through that country for Bolivia,
and. vice versa. Fourth, the decree of Bolivia to coin
hard dollars for export. Fifth, the seizure of Cobija by
Peru, thus cutting off all communication between Bolivia
and the Pacific, Cobija being the only nort of that p•nvprn-

This event has not, however, in any way inter-
rupted the trade of Cobija, nor has the communication
with the interior been placed under any restriction, the
only difference at present being a change from Bolivian
to Peruvian authorities. General Belzer has issued a
decree ordering preparations for war, declaring an abso-
lute .in terdiction on all commercial traffic between Peru
and Bolivia, and ordering all goods in transitu between
one country and the other to be seized.

From Panama there is nothing of interest. Dates from
Bogota mention that the country continued in a disturbed
state. Congress had adjourned, having passed several
important laws—among others, that regarding free voting

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—By the steamer Harbinger we
have advices from the Cape to the 7th of July. The go-
vernor is still on the frontier, completing his arrangements
for defence and the improvement of internal order and
obedience to the laws. In a minute addressed to the
legislative council, he speaks of the probable success of his
measures, and of their certain success if the colonists per-

form their part of the work faithfully and cheerfully.
The constitution was legally promulgated on the Ist day
of July, and several clear directions were issued by go-
vernment to the future constituencies on the subject of
registration.

The Frontier Times contains the following communi-
cation :—Rebels are about the Koenap. They stole four
horses belonging to Mr. Naude, the carcases of three of
which have been found. The rebels were fired on and a

of the fattest appear to have been taken. I cannot under-
stand this horse slaughtering. There must be a motive,
as they have plenty of opportunities of getting fat cattle.
Seven oxen also have been taken from Mr. Tharatt, at
Mildenhall's, which were followed by Wynne's police,
along with the spoor of the rebels. Niland's kraal has
also been broken open and some cattle stolen.

AITEITEALIA.—The uenerai screw steam-shipping Com-
pany's ship Harbinger, Captain Lane, arrived at South-
ampton, on Thursday, from Australia. Her dates are—
Sydney, Alay 12 ; Port Phillip, May 22 ; Mauritius, June
21; Algoa Bay, July 3; Table Bay, July 7. She brought
on freight gold dust and bars weighing 130,000 ounces,
and of the estimated value of £520,000 sterling; besides
this, many of the passengers have various quantities, the
value of which probably amounts to from £30,000 to
£40,000 more. The Harbinger brought one of the largest
mails ever known from the colonies; but her advices from
Australia have been partially anticipated by the overland
mail. The Legislative Council of New South Wales had
commenced its session. The Governor-General's address
communicated the consent of the home government to cer-
tain of the demands of the colonists, contained in their
memorial of December last. In the last week of April,
4,000 immigrants were landed at Port Philip. Melbourne
was overcrowded, and many of the new arrivals were in a

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA

By the British and North American Royal. Mail Steam-
Ship Asia, Captain Lott, we have advices from New York
to the 10th instant.

The Asia sailed from New York at 10 35, p.m., on the

4 47, a.m., n. on Sunday, having made the run in 10 days 11
hours andl6 minutes.
The Asia has brought 84 passengers and $491,200 in
specie on freight.
The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain Com-
stock, arrived at New York, from this port, on the 7th inst.
The yellow fever at New Orleans was gradually decreas-
ing in virulence. The opening of the North American
and European Railroad is to be celebrated on the 14th of
September. A great fight had occurred on the Western
Plains between the Indian tribes. According to the re-
port, the Sioux and Cheyens had been nearly " rubbed
out." The new packet-ship Star of Empire had arrived
at Boston, from Liverpool, with upwards of - nine hundred.
passengers. During the voyage the surgeon and two pas-
sengers died.
Advices had been received from Surinam to the 16th
July, which state that all the slaves were about to be
liberated and replaced by Chinese coolies.
The returns of the elections recently held in some of
the Southern States are very meagre. With regard to
the general result in Tennessee enough was known to
warrant the belief that a Democratic governor had been
chosen, but that the Whigs would have a majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature. In Alabama there ap-
peared to have been a slight change in favour of the
Whigs, so far as concerned the Congressional delegation.
In North Carolina Mr. Outlaw, late Whig Congressman,
had been defeated by Mr. Shaw, a Democrat. The Ken-
tucky delegation was supposed to be very equally divided.
A frightful accident had occurred on the Camden and
Amboy Railroad. The trains which left New York and
Philadelphia, simultaneously, came in collision some ten
miles beyond Amboy. The crash was so violent as to
cause the instant death of several persons, two of them
females. A large number of the other passengers were
very seriously injured, and one of them shortly after died.
The New York train was reported to have been running
out of time.
The Star of the West had arrived at New York with
advices from San Francisco to the 16th ult. and upwards
of $1,000,000 on freight and in the hands of passengers.

emigrants arriving at San Francisco gave horrid accounts
of the difficulties and sufferings endured. Among the
domestic incidents of the times in California the marriage
of the celebrated Lola Montes will attract the most atten-
tion. This distinguished lady again united herself in the
bonds of wedlock on the Ist of July, the happy young man
being Mr. Patrick Purdy Hull, formerly of Ohio, and for
the past four years engaged in the newspaper business in
San Francisco. Mr. Hull was a fellow-passenger with the
countess on her journey to California, and the acquaintance
then formed fast ripened into an attachment. The bride
and groom have since visited Sacramento, and are now iu
domestic retirement in San Francisco.
Intelligence had been received at Washington, from the
fishing grounds, announcing the arrival there of fifteen or
twenty United State.- fishing vessels, completely armed,
the crews of which were determined to fight if interfered
with by the British cruizers.
The New York Herald has a startling announcement
upon the fisheries question. It is asserted that while the
colonial and Yankee fishermen have been wrangling con-
cerning their alleged rights, and calling upon their re-
spective governments to. protect them, the real owner of
i
the entire ground n dispute, Lord Stirling, has quietly
remained in the background and enjoyed the sport. The
Royal charters upon which Lord Stirling bases his claim
were recognised and confirmed by act of parliament in the
time of Charles 1., over 220 years ago, and give to him the
complete right to fish within six leagues of the shore.
Lord Stirling is now in Washington, making arrange-
ments with a company of influential American gentlemen
for the prosecution of his claim.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, AUGUST 10.

MONEY.—During the past few days a sudden and
material change has taken place in the supply of and value
of money. A system of curtailment has been adopted by
the banks in this city, and a large amount of demand
loans, on stock collaterals, have heen called in. The chief
causes of the existing stringency are the continued heavy
importations. Interest for loans "on call " has advanced
to 7 per cent., and on speculatiye securities much higher
rates are paid. Discount of leading paper ranges from 9
to 12 per cent. The exports of gold during the fortnight.
are $1,563,552. The receipts from California, $2,200,000.
The balance of coin in the sub-treasury in this city, is

—The reports of the growing crop, received during the
past week, generally complain of the prevalence of rain,
both in the Atlantic States and the region tributary to
New Orleans. The crop is everywhere described as being
backward, and it will require from this time out a con-
tinuance of favourable weather, with a late and open fall,
to ensure a crop equal to the one just closing.
BREADSTUFFB.—An advance of 18.1 c. per bbl. on flour
was realised on the receipt of the Liverpool advices, per
Niagara, to the 23rd ult. The accounts, per Baltic, to
the 27th July, announcing a more quiet feeling, combined
with a severe pressure on the money market here, and the
advancing rates of freight, have checked the upward ten-
dency, and some portion of the advance above quoted has
been lost. Wheat has again advanced to the extent of 4
cents per bushel. In Indian corn the improvement in
price amounts to only 1 cent. per bushel.
PROVISIML—Pork is inactive at $15,50 to $15,622 for
mess, and $12,75 to $l2, 872 for prime. Lard, in barrels,
is in moderate request at 101 c. to 11c. Beef remains
steady at $8 to $lO for country, $12,25 to $12,872 for city

THURSDAY.
CITILD MURDER AT LIVERPOOU—Mary Ana Ho d-
kinsort, aged 35, was charged with the wilful murder of
her infant child at Liverpool, on the 4th instant. The
prisoner pleaded not guilty, and during her trial appeared
perfectly calm and collected. The, faets.of the ease have
already been published in our columns. The husband of
the prisoner was a brewer, an lived with his family in
Rigby-street. On the night previbus to the morning of
the. occurrence, (Thursday, the4th instank) the child was
sleeping with its father and mother, and in the middle of
the night the prisoner called her husband up, and com-
plained of being ill, saying she was dying. A woman,
named Kenyon, who lodged in the house, was called to
the prisoner's assistance, when she (prisoner) repeated
that she was dying, and that the baby was lying dead
beside her. That was, however, a delusion, the baby being
at the time in bed, perfectly well. Mrs. Kenyon repre-
sented to the prisoner the absurdity of the notion which
possessed her mind, and administered to her a little
brandy, after which she seemed better. On being again
put to bed, the prisoner slept the greater part of the,
night, and in the morning her husband got up and left
her. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Kenyon was alarmed by
the cries of the prisoner's children, and immediately rushed
up stairs, when she saw the prisoner with a knife in her
hand. She said,, "1 have done it ; the child will be no
more hungered." The deceased had a large gash in the
throat, and appeared to be dead. Mrs. Kenyon got hold
of the prisoner, and restrained her from further violence
until assistance arrived, and she was then secured, and
given into custody. She again repeated that she had done
it ; that Mrs. Kenyon and some others instigated her to
the act, and that one of them had sharpened the knife for
her. The nisoner was taken to the Northern Hospital,
when a surgeon belonging to the establishment pronounced
her to be of unsound mind. She had previously been
attacked in a similar way on the birth of one of her chil-
dren, and was for some: time out of her mind. Several
witnesses bore out the statements. Mr. Thorburn, sur.
geon, -who examined the prisoner immediately after the
occurrence, expressed his confident opinion that she was
in an unsound state of mind ; he added, that one of her
relatives committed suicide under similar circumstances
some time ago. The Judge briefly recapitulated the facts
of the case, observing that the occurrence was a painful
one ; but the only question for the jury would be whether,
when the prisoner committed the act, she was in such a
state of mind as to be accountable for her conduct. The
jury immediately acquitted the prisoner, on the ground of
insanity, She was detained in custody, to be disposed of
according, to her Majesty's pleasure.
MURDERING A SAILOR AT LIVERPOOL.---Susan Camp-
bell, aged 22, was indicted for the murder of Wm. Good-
fen, a sailor,aat Liverpool, on the 12th of July last. The
deceased was a sailor, and on the night of the occurrence
he went to a spirit-vaults in Pall,Mall. He was in com-
pany with two other men, all being at the time sober.
After remaining about an hour, the prisoner came into the
house, she being in a state of intoxication. She came up to
where the deceased was, and asked him for a glass of ale,
which he refused to give, saying. he did not wish to have
anything to do with her. The prisoner behaved in a vio-
lent manner, used ill language, upon which the deceased
gave her a slight slap in the face with the back of his
hand. Nothing farther took place at that time, and eht
prisoner did not resent the deceased's couducti Shortly

afterwards the deceased and his companions left the house,
and on reaching the street the prisoner followed ; imme-
*ely afterwards she made a blow at the deceased, and
-nstrated with by a woman standing near. After
some threats, she again struck the deceased, saying,
Take that." The deceased then found that he had been
stabbed in the neck. He was taken into a public-house,
and subsequently removed to the Northern Hospital,
where he survived only a few days. Witnesses were
called, whose evidence supported the circumstances stated
above. Mr. W. B. Wall, surgeon of the Northern Hospi-
tal, stated that the deceased had received a wound in the

principal artery of the neck, which injury was the cause of
death. In reply to a question, the witness said that had
the deceased received surgical assistance immediately on
the occurrence taking place, his life might probably have
been saved. The jury found the prisoner guilty of man-
slaughter, and his Lordship, after a severe admonition
upon the nature of the crime she had committed, which
was another instance to be added to the many arising from
the fearful consequences, of intemperance, sentenced her to

20 years' transportation.
CIIILD MunnEn.—Mary Hale, aged 28, was charged
with having, at Ormskirk, wilfully murdered a newly born

tion that the prisoner had been delivered of a child, a
communication was made to the authorities. This led to
an inquiry, and the fact of the prisoner being delivered of
a child having been ascertained, a search was made and
the body of a child discovered near Mr. Gregory's house.

cealing the birth. Sentence deferred.

at the bottom of the pit, or shaft. It is a rule frequently
repeated by each foreman to the colliers, that thoy should
not blast, or " fire a shot," before they had first tried with
their lamps whether there wr any gas in the shafts to
avoid. the danger, the men apply their lamps, to see if
there.is any accumulated gas,. and if there be, no. blasting
is allowed. In consequence of,the neglect of this:.rule, the
prisoner by blasting brought 01 an explosion, attended by
fire,-which burnt and wounded some of the workmen. The
men,. when they saw him about to blast, ran away; but
before they had got far, the flame came over them, and

Prior had died from the injuries alluded to.. Itwas inti-
mated that the evidence had been taken before:the coro-

nosed to be well vouched for. His• Lordship said he never
saw such negligence before. The. prisoner was imme-
diately acquitted. An application was made fereosts, and
