FRANCE.
FLIGHT OF LOUIS BLANC AND CAUSIDIERE.
On Saturday, the National Assembly of France was
authorised to prosecute Louis Blanc and Causidiere, but,
when they were searched.for it was ascertained that they
had flown, and it is believed they have left the. capital.
It is said that government has connived at their escape, in
order to get rid of two such persons. Serious apprehen-
sions of an outbreak are entertained, and the most exten-
sive military preparations have been made. An immense
tent has been erected in the Champs Elysies, and the vast
area is covered with soldiers. The populace seem quite
ready for another insurrection.

MONEY MARKET. 'YESTERDAY.
Notwithstanding the rise- in the corn market, and the un-
happy.financial exhibit of the treasury, we have rather better
quotations in Consols. They are now 84 to for money and
time,with a fair business doing. Reduced Threes, are 86 to
. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 87 to Exchequer Bills,
30s.
to 345. premium. It must be observed, however, that the
improvement in the funds noted commenced only with the re-
appearance of sunshine, which seemed to flatter with a promise
of more seasonable and settled weather. Previously, and
whilst. the rain was pouring down, or threatening, Consols
were heavy at 851 to Q.

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
Fine old and really choice samples of new realised from 2s.
to 3s more money than on this day se'nnight, but.thetrade was
not so lively as might have been expected, the millers acting
with great caution. The secondary and inferior parcels of
nevi Wheat met with little attention, at prices •varying from
425. to 565. for red, and 455. to 60s. for white. Foreign, both
bonded and free, sold at an advance from 2s. to 3s. per qr.
Barley was in fair request, at an improvement in value of IF.
to 2s per qr. The sate for Oats was not brisk, but in the busi-
ness transacted Is. to Is.6d. more money was obtained. Beans
were Is. to 25., and Peas, 3s. to 4s. dearer.

LONDON PRODUCE MARKET—YEsTEnnAv.
There was some inquiry for Rice, but holders were disin-
clined to accept last week's currency, and buyers were not dis-
posed to advance in the face of the large quantity offering.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YE STE RDAY.
In some instances a choice Scot makes 45. 4d. ; but the
general average of best qualities do not reach that figure. The
number of Sheep, is smaller, and some of the very best des-
criptions make rather more money. The weather operates
against big Sheep, and trade is slow, but everything is cleared
off at fair rates. Good Calvers are not quite so plentiful;
trade is, however slow, at very little advance.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET—YESTERDAY.
The share market rallied yesterday to a small extent
from the extreme depression noticed last week ; but still
the public only appear to be interested in it as sellers.
The greater-part of the business consists of jobbing trans-
actions. Midland stock is quoted 91.2; London, 114.15.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—YESTERDAY.
The market was steady yesterday, and no change in,
prices.

LIVERPOOL. PRODUCE MARKET.—YESTERDP-Y.
Since Thursday last there has been an improved demand
for Sugar ; the grocers and refiners purchasing much more
freely, rather higher prices have been paid ; and should
the present fine weather continue, we may safely look for-
ward to a further advance. The sales comprise 120 blids.
Jamaica, at Ms. 6d. to 375. ; 200 hhds. Porto Rico,l3ss.

rates. Saltpetre very flat ;,.nothing doing in, the article.

prices a little lower. Beet, sd. to 6d. ; Mutton, Sid. to eeid. ;

NE.: LICENSES FOR THE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.—
The licensing day for this borough is fixed for Monday
next, and the, number of new licenses for which, applica-
tion will be made, inclusive of two notices for transfers,
is 221. The numbers in the different wards are as follow,
viz., in Everton Ward 34 ; in Kirkdale 11 ; in Scotland
43 ; in Vauxhall 6 ; in St. Paul's 3 ; in Exchange 3 ; in
Castle-street 2r; in St. Peter's 10; in Pitt-street 3; in
Great George-street 10; in Rodney-street 4; in Aber-
cromby 16; in Lime-street 10; in St. Anne's 16; in
West Derby 24 ; in North and South Toxteth 26.
WHOLF.SALE DEPREDATLON.—On Thursday, a man
who gave the name of Barker, and a clothes-dealer, call-
ing himself Jas. Conway, were brought up on charges of
wholesale theft of wearing apparel, umbrellas, &c., from
the Assize Courts. Barker, it appeared, attended the
court, and seized all he could lay his hands on, the pro-
perty of jurymen, witnesses, &c., and Conway received
and paid for the stolen goods.
ANOTHER AnnEsT.Auother committal for "treasonable
conspiracy" has taken place. Mr. Martin Boshill, con-
nected with the firm of Messrs Orr and Barber, merchants,
South Castle-street, who was apprehended on Wednesday
by warrant, was brought up before Mr. Rushton and a
full bench. Mr. Rushton expressed his deep regret at
seeing a young man of his rising rank a.►nd station in life
placed under circumstances like the present. He had
been a most active member, and, from his own hand-
writing, was proved to have been a member up to a recent
date. He had no doubt but he had been made the dupe
of older and designing men; but his only alternative was
to commit him for trial, upon the evidence which had
been adduced against the other prisoner with whom he
was connected. He was committed for trial.
During an unsuccessful attack on one of the barricades
raised in Paris during the insurrection in June last, a
young garde mobile was made a prisoner by the insur-
gents, who proceeded to hang him to a balcony ; but a
shot cut the halter and killed his executioner, while the
garde mobile was found in swoon by his comrades, who
shortly afterwards successfully :mowed the attack.
