FRANCE.  Accounts from Berlin state that Count de Bismark still intends to visit Biarritz, and that he is expected to do so immediately after the prorogation of the Chamber, which will take place at the end of the month.  The grape crop in Turkey has been defective this year in consequence of the oidium. The general fruit production, however, has been remarkably abundant.  The cholera is spreading in the vicinity of Diarbekir and Aleppo. The Courrier of Nuremberg mentions a rumour that the Grand Duke of Hesse proposes to abdicate in favour of Prince Louis, the husband of the Princess Alice of England. The weather at St. Petersburg is reported to be splendid, and the cholera has entirely disappeared.  The Constitutional Gazette of Vienna, better known as the Austrian Lloyd, under which title it was founded at. Trieste, is to be discontinued, after an existence of thirty years. The founder was M. de Warens, one of the first of German Tublicists, who, finding himself unable to carry it on by reason of his age and infirm health, now retires with a considerable fortune.  The Brussels journals announce the death of Dr. Shnepp, French Consul at Djeddah. A Brussels journal states that 500 English and 300 French marksmen are expected at the approaching Belgian national rifle meeting. The Italian journals state that at Torre Annunziata, near Naples, some women of the lower orders a few days back carried statues of the saints in procession (notwithstanding the prohibition of the authorities), to obtain from Heaven a cessation of the cholera. The sub-Prefect of Castellamara had been to the village to make inquiries and adopt measures to prevent the recurrence of these processions.  A man named Baltel was tried yesterday at the Court of Assizes of the Seine for the murder of a fellow-workman, named Hubert, with whom he lodged. Some words had taken place between them one evening, after which they went to bed together, but during the night, while. Hubert was asleep, Baltel got up and beat out his brains with a hammer, and then again laid down and slept by the side of the corpse until the morning. The accused attempted to show that from the habitual use of strong drinks he was at times deprived of his reason. The court, nevertheless, condemned him to hard labour for life.  BOURSE, Sept. 14.—Two o'clock.—The market remains in the same state of almost utter stagnation, Quotations, which are a little lower, are again hardly more than nominal. The few transactions which take place only have the effect of making more conspicuous the absence of the ordinary run of business. French Threes were done at 70f. 5c., or 10c. lower ; Italian Fives at 57f. 30c., or a decline of 20c. ; Mobilier at 675 f., or a loss of 2f. 50c. ; Credit Foncier at 1,372 f. 50c., also a fall of 2f. 50c. ; Comptoir d'Escompte at 915 f., unchanged. Very little is doing in railways, and the tendency is downward. Three o'clock.--A still further decline has taken place, the closing prices being as follows :  4i per Gents 97 Do. end month —  Bank Shares 3615 Italian Loan i7 Do. end month 57 10 Mexican Loan — Do.
