      Trade In Paris.^-The -Winter Trade Paris...

      Trade in PARis . ^ -The -winter trade Paris not yet regularly opened , and shopkeepers complain of a deficiency in receipts . Want of employment is beginning to be felt among the operatives . Bread is fortunately cheap , owing to the . Emperor having given France free trade in corn for at least another year . The wholesale business of Paris is said to be more active and the commercial bills presented for discount to the Bank of France have considerably increased within the last month . It is further said that the monthly account to be published by the Bank on Friday next will show a diminution of its cash , to the amount of 25 , 000 , 000 fr ., ¦ which it is presumed have been emp loyed in commercial speculations . _ ¦ , __ M _ t of this t ttle

      Ballinasloe Fair . —The repor greaca fair in the west of Ireland will be received with satisfaction by all who have felt the high price of butcher ' sxneat recently to be oppressive . A great fall has taken place in the price of cattle compared with last year , and it seems that the artificial value of this essential article of living has now come to an end . Western Bank of Scotland . —An important step has been taken by the committee of shareholders . They have resolved to institute , not a criminal prosecution of the directors , but to bring a civil suit against them for reimbursements of the calls , made and to bo made , and also for the amount of the lost shares ; and they have invited the general body of the shareholders to cooperate . The gentlemen thus menaced are those who were in the direction in Juno , 1857 , five months before the bank closed , and when , the bank being then quite insolventthey declared a dividend of nine per cont .

      , The French Government and Feke Trade . —Iho French Consul in Newcastle had addressed to the presidents of several northern Agricultural Societies tho substance of a despatch received from tho Minister of Agriculture respecting the result of the repeal of the corn laws in this country , with a request that those fiocietioa would communicate to tho French Government their opinion as to the effects of free trade in corn upon the landed and agricultural interost . Accompanying the despatch is a schedule of questions calculated to elicit opinions upon every phase of the free trade question . The Minister states that in 1854 , his department had communicated to that of Agriculture , Commerco , and Publio Works o report emanating from the Consul-Gonoral of Franco in London , . containing information

      on the result of tho repeal of tho corn laws in England . These returns closing with tho year 1858 , tho Minister of Agriculture had exprossod a doslro to receive similar information for the succeeding year , and had indicated the points on which ho wished particularly to possess exact returns . He further desired to know tho avemgo price and tho amount of importation of foreign corn In each year slnco 1858 , as well as the produce of tho grain liurvosts in England for tho greatest possible number of years . Nkw LrNB of Steam-Ships . —Wo ( Sydney Empire , Atig . 10 ) understand that Immodlato stops will be taken by tho Government to submit , In doUulto form , for the competition of European capitalists , tho establishment of , a lino of steamers botwoon Sydnoy and Panama , and that the flubjoot is likely to bo brought authoritatively before the Britioh public by the next mail .

      A New Spanish ' . Steam-ship Company . —According to the Madrid Gazette of the 7 th instant , the Colonial Department is to put up to public competition , on the 3 rd February next , the concession of a line of steamers between Spain and the isles of Cuba and Porto Rico . A subvention is to be accorded , but the amount of it is not to be made known until the day of the adjudication . The contract is to be made by public biddings , to take place on the 3 rd of * February , 1859 , and to be made in sealed papers , containing the price of each voyage out and back . The concession will be granted to the party who shall make the most advantageous proposal . Foreigners who may wish to bid will learn the terms at any of the Spanish legations . They are to be . trans-The

      lated and published in the foreign-journals . contractors are bound to have eight steam-packets . They are to sail under the Spanish flag , they are to be new ships , the hull ' of iron and constructed of the best materials , and fully prepared for the service they are to perform ; they are each to measure 2300 tons ; the ships must be either constructed in England or after the English model of fast-sailing steam-packets . The company is bound to present on the 1 st of January , 1860 , four steam-packets ready for sea , and is authorised to construct steam-packets measuring 3500 tons . The boats are to touch at Santa Cruz , in Tenerifte , and Porto Rico , but never for more than twelve hours . The contract is to be for eight years , and the company is to give security to the amount of 40 , 00 < W .

      The Wine Harvest in Burgundy . —The report of the jury of the exhibition of Dijon says of the present vintage : — " For Burgundy , the year 1858 is one of the finest of the present century . It is as abundant as 1831 ; it will be superior to that year in fulness and flavour , and can only find its equal in- . . 1 , known by the name of the " Comet-year . " We have now a second comet-j-ear , quite as abundant . Observations made with the greatest care have proved that the grape , arrived at complete maturity , and exempt from any kind of malady , had fermented with the most satisfactory rapidity ; that the colour is beautiful and the

      bouquet already developed . All these facts are certain pledges of good quality . The first growths have a rare degree of delicacy and homogeneity , and the good ordinary wines deserve to be classified this year in a higher rank than what is ordinarily assigned to them . While admitting the abundance of the crop , we again declare that the wine will be of superior quality . The cellars are , moreover , empty , and the wants of consumption real ; on the other hand , 'few vineyards in France have been so highly favoured this year as those of Burgundy . The South and the Bordelais have not been completely free from' oidium . It Avill be , therefore , logical to conclude that prices will remain high . "

      London Docks . —In consequence of the numerous arrivals of shipping ( chiefly from the East Indies ) for the London Docks , tho London Dock Company have commenced to dock vessels at their new entrance . Lost Ocean Steam-Ships . — An official return shows that the Austria is the thirteenth large transatlantic steamer that has perished in the course of the last twenty years . Tho following is tho list : —President , 130 Victims j Columbia , passengers saved ; Ilumboldt ,

      ditto ; City of Glasgow , 420 victims ; City of Philadelphia , passengers saved ; Franklin , ditto ; Arctic , 332 victims ; Pacific , 240 ; Lyonnais , 105 ; Tempest , 150 ; San Francisco , 1 G 0 ; Central America , 422 ; Austria , 500 . This French Revenue . —The Moniteur of yesterday contains an official return of the indirect revenue for tho first nine months of 1868 . According to it there is an increase of 31 , 000 , 000 francs , compared with the corresponding period of 1857 , without taking into account ; ho tax called " doubles centimes do guerre . "

      Australian Minks . — The Port Philip and Colonial Gold Company ' s advices from Melbourne-, received yesterday , continue of a satisfactory character . Tho profit made in July amounted to over 1500 / . in addition to oxpending 300 J . in stores and repairing machinery . A furthor remittance , amounting to 10007 ,, has boon rocoivod , making a total of 35001 . actually to hand . Spanish American Bondholders . — Tho following memorandum refers to tlio debt of Venezuela ;— " The Committoo of Spanish -American bondholders havo received a lotter from Mr . Mocnttn , dated Caracas , 23 rd ult ., in which ho states timt tho arrival of General Paoss in that city boing shortly expected , ho had thought it advisable , for tho advantage- of . the bondholders , to delay his proceedings in relation to the foreign debt until tho General has arrived . "

Coylon is joined to India by a submarine cablo , and hi Noyombor it id hopod tho lino of communication will L > o complete . Uuforo tho oiul of 1850 w « havo no doubt tlio gap between Corfu and India will be snppliod by electric cable , and London and Poshawur within spoukJng distance ' , Coylon modoitly standing by and enjoying tho bonofit of tho conversation , . ' * Inmn Austiiaman Link of Sim's . —Tho suoooss of tho Lovor lino of packet * between Gal way ami America appoars to havo oxcitod tlio Cork merchants to attempt a dlroot stoam-packot lino Ljotwoon Quoonstown and Australia . On Tuesday a mooting of tho commltteo of

      merchants was held to consider the feasibility of the project .. Among those present were the Mayor of Cork Mr . Fagan , M . P ., Mr . Beamish , M . P ., & c . The object of the meeting was to support the Australian and Pacific Company , which intends to run fortnightly or monthlymails ' between Queenstown and Panama , across the Pacific to the Australian colonies and Columbia . The Australian Labour Market . —The Melbourne Argus thus reports : —The labour market is still in an unsatisfactory state . As yet the expected

      improvement is only prospective . Many of the labourers and mechanics now seeking employment are unable to obtain it without much loss of time ; and until the railway works are carried on with more vigour we can scarcely hope to sec the town cleared of the unemployed . Since it was first found that capital was required i n mining—that more than a pick and shovel % vas needed to ensure success in the search for gold , too many men have become dependent on public works for employment and their numbers have during the last two or three vcars been rapidly augmenting .
