WINE MoyEMENTs IN FRANCE.

The Paris letter of the Courier des Etats Unis,
under date September LIST, gives very favorable
count from the wineproducing districts of France.
At Bercy the market is calm, the decline in prices
remaining rather stationary. The tendency, however
is downward owing TO the favorable intelligence
from the principal winegrowing districts; the abun-
dant rains which fell August l5 and having given
sufficient assurance of early maturity. 1t is high
y probable that in districts the vintages will
commence towards the 18th September. If the fa-
vorable weather should continue the quality of the
wine of 1857 will recall to mind that of 1911 From
Bordeaux letters were received stating that the old
ium had reappeared in Medoc, Bourgeois, and in
some Of the small vineyards of Bordelais though the
larger ones are most generally exempt 1t is, there
FORE confidently estimated that in the aggregate the
crop of 1857 will be at least twenty-five per cent.
larger than that of last year. The wine movements
were at the above date, almost entirely suspended
at Bordeaux and but very small lots offered in
market In spirits the movements have almost
ceased The rates at Paris and even at Bordeaux of
3-6 of Languedoc are noted at the nominal figure of
225 francs. The 3-6 of beetroot spirits has down
ward tendency good saleable is offered at Paris
from Ill to no. and at Bordeaux from lis to la
francs.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

After publishing returns from LIS towns, which
show democratic gain Of nearly ten thousand votes

.tIt will thus be seen that the democratic vote comes
well up to that of last year, while the vote for Morrill,
falls short of Hamlins vote 10 900 IT. with exer
tons the democracy poll almost heavy vote as
they did last year, while the repubcanswith their
Banks and Burlingame, and Hamlin and Washburn ana
Morse with Others stumping it through the State fall
short of their last years vote by thousands may
not be done in another year, when the democrats take
the field with their girded for the fghtf we

The AttalSapas Gouisiana Register of the 9Th instant
says The weather for the last ten days has been de
ghtfuy pleasant the nights being cool as to make
blanket covering at all uncomfortable The cane is
growing very finely and although smaller than usual at
this Of the year. yet the stand is unequaed and
with favorable weather and late rosts we may reasonably
EXPECT larger crop than before made in St Mary
We shown few days since stock of cane measuring
81 feet and iointcd the entire length Some of our
planters expect to rolling about the middle OF
taking of the crop before the 9th to 10th of November
by which time all will have begun. The crop is
nearly IL not quite all gathered and is In fine order
firsrate quality and very large The sweet potato crop
is also exceedingly fine, know of knowl-

Mr.. Guillardet informs the Courier des Etats Unis
that the republic of William Tell is less tolerant of
the disciples of Mormonism than that of Washington
A number of the followers of Brigham Young having,
in the latter part of August last repaired to the lake
of Zurich to perform the ceremony of baptism were
set upon by the inhabitants, armed with stout
cudgels, and pretty roughly handled in the melee
that followed The Mormon priest, it is stated, re-
ceived quite a severe drubbing.

year 239 4l Is tons From the Cumberland region for
the week 974l 90 tons for the year 2l4 o3 tons
The Piedmont Independent says " There was quite a
falling of in coal shipments last week, owing chiefly TO
the fact that no business doing the canal and par
tally, we suppose, from the want of orders The pros
pect for fall business looks rather gloomy We appre-

and the coal trade does not receive some fresh impulse

THE LOSS OF THE CENTRAL AMERICA.

lHE LOoe or IhE SLNiuaI hhAr-iAiS3A
The appalling loss Of the Central America, with
nearly all its living Freight is still the aengrossing
subject of comment and inquiry with our citizens,
and we may safely add, with every community where
the fearful has reached Since our last issue,
We have received further and more. direct intell-
gence. BY referring to the telegraphic column 1t
viii be seen that the barque Eloise, with fortyour
Of the survivors, has reached Norfolk in safety and
that five more of the survivors have reached Savan-
nah 1t will be further seen that the brig Marine
rescued forty-six of the passengers. This would
raise the number of survivors, far as known, to
ninety-fve. 1t is not improbable that this number
will be further increased.
According to the best accounts, the number of the
crew and passengers on board the Central America
when she foundered may be thus briefly stated
