Vast numbers of Italians are roturning home. There are signs of disorder at Lyons, were many Italians aro likely to repeat the scenes of Marseilles.

Thore has been some talk of business on the Stock Exchange to-day, and something may possibly be done in the course of the afternoon; but up to the present timo scarcely a single transac- tion has been booked.

share has changed hands. Holders of Hongkong Fires aro anxious to deal at $1,000 share; but ten dollars less has beon por offered without loading to business. One or two brokers have been looking ous for China Fires at $295, but hold- ers decline to deal at that price, which however, is apparently the limit of the commissions, so the quotation may be taken as the present nominal value of the stock. We heard some wild spec- ulations in lulgol in about Hotels having found purchasers at $117 per share; but after diligent research, we are compelled to concludo that this was muroly a little bit of finesse. The shares of the Hotel Company are still on offer at 115, although there have been a good many sales at that figure. Docks were rather weaker yesterday EGALITÉ
