      FRANCE . bfae Bfae Bndeet « , as may be expected , tbe principal top ic 11 thei the P-Tris papers . It i « superfluous to notice the consults ohts of ihe Ministerial Press , as their absolute approval ihtl fiall financial as well as political measures of the governmm is it is a suiter of course ; and the opinions of the ' Gonuutioiutioimr . r and * Patrie , ' as in some sort the Laureats of hhovithovitv , migh t have been guessed beforehand . It appears mtstxtstx , that the budge t of 1853 will be submitted to the icictioiction of the representative body . ^ The modification of " tax' tax on wines has caused general discontent .

      rrhe The Fives fell on Friday forty centimes below par . This a a v * a v * rr grave symptom of the risk incurred by the preciaate < ate conversion of that rente before the market was prenred red for so low a rate of interest as four and a half per ant . at . The fall is probabl y traceable to the eagerness iiince < inced by the small rentiers for re-imbursement , and tbe pprehprehension that they will be kept out of their money an Mefitdeffoite peri' d . On Saturday the Bourse was a little bet-Vj P "» probably owing to a communique in the ' Moniteur , ' iiiichiich is calculated grratly to re-awure the rentiers who pply ply to the Treasury for re-imbursement . If the

      re-imi rsesrseaient is to be effected by series such rentiers are , in « t , pt , promised five per cent , up to the moment of their 'ringing pdd off . Atio'hercircunjstance seems to bave operated giv giving a lift to tbe Bourse . It is reported that Fould is ningring io return to office . Another report is , that the Bank lis as offered to lend the Treasury a hundred millions of jancancs at four and a half per cent . There was much talk , nawowever , about the damage inflicted on tontine societies by i ie he decree of conversion . AU such companies are obli ged t o uveavest the capital contributed in fire per cent , stock . The rea iil ail trade and all manufactories which supply the home deaaaraand , find that grave financial anxiety has been caused by I he he decree for the conversion of tbe rentes . Every one says lhathat his revenue being diminished one tenth , be is obliged io po purchase only what is strictly necessary .

      1 The 0 « a « s Propertt . —The appeal on the case of SM . M . Bocher has been before the Court of Appeal . The first liudjudgmcot , by which M . Backer was merely fined 500 i ., was j iaaiaash-d , and he was sentenced to a month ' s imprisonment Jindmd 200 f . fi n « . The judgment which sentenced the other ileflefendants , MM . Debief and Malzy , to a fiue of 150 f . was [ unconfirmed . M . Odillon Barrot again appeared for the de-[ fenfence . aiid pr oduced much effect b y his treatment of the [ juqaest on of ri . zht atissuS between bim and the Procureur of I thehe Republic , but no report of bis speech has been allowed l to to be published . M . Bocher bas appealed to the Court of iCaCassation against the sentence .

      ' The announcement of the amalgamation of the Bordeaux , INaNantes , Censral . and Orleans lines was unfavourably rei Deceived at the Bourse , and t h e . ' all in the shares of those cocompanies was in a great measure attributed to it . The gegeneral opinion seemed to be that the creation of 96 , 000 nenew shares hy the Orleans company was not very compatible trmtb the present high price of 1 , 200 . It was thought , also , ninotwiihstanding statements to tbe contrary , that further Ci calls would necessarily oVmade upon the Bordeaux share * Holders to make up the requisite capital for all tbe works p proposed to be undertaken . M . Emile Girardin bas written to tbe President of the I Bepu ' ilic to suspend far a short time the order lor his expuls sion , as he is desirous of returning to Paris on family affairs . ' The death of M . Girardin ' s mother-in-law is no doubt the < cause of his application . In reply to his letter M . Emile de I GIrardin received his passport for Paris .

      The President ' s Success m—The Paris correspondent of the * Tunes * says : — " It is known that Jhe President of the Republic intends to deposit with tbe Senate , with all due forms of solemnity , a sealed paper with the name of tbe person whom he would desire to recommend as bis succassor . It is much doubted whether any one has as yet been selected , and as his thoughts have recently turned towards a matrimonial condition , it is not unlikely that he hopes he sha'l he enabled to fix on some name still closer in reiati m with himself than any oth « -r . ' Another Goyerkmrnt' PlOT . —The 'Patrie' announces , o » the authority of private correspondence , that tbe secret societies are endeavouring to reconstitute themselves in the . south , and that a report is propagated of the probability of an insurrectional movement iu that part of the coun'ry ; that Lyons appears to be the central point to

      which the orders * coming from London , Paris , and Geneva converge ; ' and that orders have been given from the Police Department to prevent those scattered associations from again uniting . I : adds that a depot of powder and ball has been discovered at Cien hy the authorities . It is shrewdly guessed that this announcement is more for the object of pa . llia . uuj ttxe . cauuwiea severities oi tbe government agents , or iusirying uture measures of rigour , than anything else . Tne' Sieck'announces that M . Clement Thomas , Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard of Paris during the insurrection of June . 1848 , and who has resided in seclusion in the Bardelais since tne suppression of the Constituent Assembly , has received notice to quit France within eight days . Several inhabitants of tlie G ronde have received similar orders , among others , MM . Simiot , an ex-Constituent , and Belol de Minieres , Judge of the Tribune at Bordeaux .

      On Sunday the President held a review , when he presented several officers , non-commissioned officers and privates with the Cross of the Legion of Hoa-mr . or the new decoration , consisting of a medal entitling the wearer to receive a pension of 1001 . for life . At this presentation be seized the opportunity of reminding the public of one of the mest important features of his usurpation , namely , the supreme military rank which the Prince has attributed to himself is the new order of things . Thus he s . -eaks of his love for tb . great military family of which he is praud to be tbe bead . In expressing bis regret for the small resources at the disposal of the government for recompensing the services of the army , Louis Napoleon involuntarily reminds tbe ¦ world of the sacred rights of property on which he has trammed to filch the means of feeding his pretorians with largesses .

      M . Gafney , chief editor of tbe 'Journal du Havre , ' has been expelled from France . Three hundred and thirty-ei ght prisoners have just arrived in Paris from the Nievre , and are about to be transported to Larabessa . Among them arc M . Lenoir , the assistant to the Mayor of Clamecy , and M . Moreau , a barrister of that town . M . Persigny has written a circular to the prefects , directing them to proceed as soon as possible to the formation of new tribunals of commerce , pursuant to the recent decree . The judges of these tribunals are in future to be elected by assemblies of notables , such as were created in 1805 . Tae notables are to be chosen by tbe prefects . Tbe circular recommends them to select the notables from among merchants enjoying an extended commercial reputation , giving a preference to the heads of the oldest bouses .

      The ' Times' correspondent says that General Cavi gnac bad resolved not to avail himself of the position be is placed in by the electors of * . he third district of Paris , but that before doing so he was inclined to consult some Of his exiled / riends . p artfca / ar / y General Laraorieiereand Bedeau , on the subject . He accordingly applied for a passport to proceed to Belgium . He was informed that the passport was at his disposal whenever he thought prov-cr ; but it was at the same time intimated that he would find tbe frontier closed against him on his return . He is said therefore to bave abandoned that idea ; but it is not believed that he will take his seat or tbe oaths . M . Hofer , of Mulhouse . who was condemned to transportation by tbe High Court of Justice of Versailles , has received a free pardon from the President of the Republic , and is again at the head of his manufactory . The * Bulletin de Paris' says : —

      The salaries of the Ministers are , we are informed , fixed at o 3 . 9 U 0 f . eac ' i , and ( hose of the prefects of the Seine and police at 50 , 000 / . The prefects of the third class are to bave 20 , 0001 . The' Moniteur ' announces that the dispute with Morocco is amicably terminated , and diplomatic relations are renewed with that country . A decree is promulgated regulating the relations of the chambers with the President . Each senator may propose to present to the President the basis of a hill of great national interest . Any proposals of modifications of the Constitution must be sinned by tea senators .

      Tbe corps legislative cannot reject a bill without discussing all Jhe articles separately . The President is to receive lOO . OOOf . salary . The severest penalty applied to a deputy is fifteen days' exclusion . Perhaps the most important provision in this long ordinance is that which prevents the speech of a deputy from being printed without tbe permission of tbe Chamber . Thus , there will be no impediment to g iving the most extended publicity to the arguments of a servile majority , while the speech by which they may be iriumphantly refuted cannot be printed . Tbe Senate can propose no amendment to bills . The tote of tbe Chambers it void unless naif the members ate present . No tenaluscontuitum can be debated unless three ont of five bureaux ia » e Toted for the prke es consideration . The printing Md distribution of a deputy ' * tpeeeh mtboat authorisation of the Chamber is punishable by a fine of from 500 fr . to 5 . 000 fr . against printers , and 5 fr . to 500 fr . against distributors .

      Another decree obliges the mag istrates and members ef * be courts of law to take the oath of allegiance within a ^ i onth from March 29 . Henon , the Sochuut candidate , i * elected deputy for Lyons . ¦ The acquittal of the 'Bulletin Francds' by the Court of Assizes at Brussels hat produced a deep sensation thiongh-2 J ££ « " \ French g ° ""« nent is , as may be B upp M ed , greatly chafed , t this verdict , which is the first demonslrabM of w fadependwt 8 pSrft in | fl im 9 faiuA toij of tbe Belftin . tit , tow « , & , nxewSng Stw-

      France. Bfae Bfae Bndeet «, As May Be Ex...

      Ship of Louis Napoleon . Honour to the Belg ian jury for having done their duty thoroughly . Nex t to the citizens who voted Carai gnac and Camot into the'Corps Legis latit , theirs is the credit of having dealt the severest punishment of public opinion on the dictatorship of the 2 nd of Decernber . LordCowlev , accompanied by tbe Mpm v & M # *™» paid a visit ' to Count Turgot , the Minister of Foreign Affairs . The object of this diplomatic interview seems to bave been two-fold . In the first p lace , exp lanations were , it is understood , demanded with regard to the attitude and

      intentions of France towards Belgium , and , secondly , with regard to the reported design of proclaiming the empire on the 5 th of Mav , the anniversary of the Emperor s death . On the first point the answers of Count Turgot were considered satisfactory . As to the other subject the Count said that France was tho only proper judge of wtiat Government suited her best ; that tbe President had reserved to himself the right of appealing to the nation on questions touching changes in the form of Government ; and that experience had proved that such appeals would he answered by the universal assent of France . The government could not admit the pretensions of any foreign power

      to meddle with such questions . The departmental journal * reveal a process of deportation perfectly frightful . We give but tw o instance : letters from Brignolles ( Var ) state that 1 , 000 parsons engaged in the insurrectionary movement of the Basses-Alpes , in December last , and who were sentenced to transportation have passed through that town in detachments of 100 each . They were on their way to Toulon , where ships of war were waitin g to receive them . Eighty-four persons of the department of the Meuse , ordered for transportation to Cayenne or Larabessa , arrived in Paris on Tuesday . Amongst them are an ex-snb . prefect , three advocates , and two schoolmasters . Most of the prisoners belong to Toul , Melz , and Nancy . It appears it is to Lambessa , in Africa , and not to Guayana , that M . Miot , the ex-representative , is to be transported .

      GERMA 1 NT . PRUSSIA . —Berlin . —The First Chamber has been digcussing the complaints raised against the government treatment of the ' German Catholics ' and its ' free communities . * Tbe charter guarantees to all sects the free exercise of their religion . ~ The government has , however , forbidden all parish authorities to allow the sects in question the use of any church , put their meetings under the club law , and sent constables to watch proceedings , with power arbitrarily to disperse the assembly ; it has refused to

      recognise the validity of marriages after ihe rites of those sects ; and fined the preachers for baptising , buryinjt , confirminir , and the like , as an illegal assumption of eeclesjas tical functwns . Tee plea raised by tbe government in justification of its course is that the sects in question are not ' religious societies , ' inasmuch as they repudiate every notion that forms the basis of relig ion . Some parties are displeased with this interpretation , and call it forced . But what other could they expect from a power which has all the force in its own hands ?

      A bill for allowing the establishment'of private country banks has been rejected by the committee of the Second Chamber , because the commissioner of the royal bank insisted that such banks should not be allowed to intrench on the monopoly of tbe government bank by taking deposits at interest . A pretly state of things for a country pretending to have enlightened notions on political economy . The committee of finance has reduced the proposed newspaper stamp doty by one-half ; the highest rate for a daily sheet of more than 800 square inches , would he seven shillings and sixpence a year , or about one-third oi a penny per number .

      BADEN . —Advices from Carlsruhe , of 2 lst mst ., represent the Grand Duke of Baden to be on the point of death . Bremen , March 19- — From this day the constitution is abolished . The Senate , which held a sitting yesterday , has just published the resolution of the Germanic Diet of the 6 th of March , by which that assembly adopted the modifications proposed hy the Senate . It consequently repeals the constitution , and announces the grant of a new fundamental law . It is stated that tbe question of the succession to the throne of the Grand Duchy of Baden bas been settled , and that the Prince Frederic will be summoned to the Grand Ducal office .

      AUSTRIA . —Count Clam-Gallas has issued a proclamation which shows that the population of Bohemia is still in a state far from tranqu l . Secret societies , the commandant says , yet exist in great numbers ; and unlawful aud unauthorised wrirines , s"ch as revolutionary proclamations , addresses , and comments upon public affairs , circulate , chiefly in manuscript , among the peopla . The public is reminded that the mere possession of such documents is a crime punishable hy the courts-martial with imprisonment and hard labour for a year . The Vienna courts-martial are still sitting , and , in tbe week ending March 15 , sentenced twenty persons , convicted of petty offences deemed political , to various imprisonments of from seven days to four months , diversified with blows with a rod , blows with a stick , fasts , and irons .

      Tbe ' New Prussian Gazette , ' after having been seized four times within thsse few days , is now prohibited the Austrian dominions . The writers have maintained the cause of the extreme right party in Austria in opposition to Prince Schwarzsnberg , and vigorously assailed that minister's German commercial policy—hence the prohibition . The Austrian correspondent of the 'Times' states that the Hungarian Committee had left Vienna in high dudgeon . The Cabinet , he says , steadily refuses to make concessions which could in the course of . time militate azainst the unity

      of the Empire , and the Hungarian nobles will never support or serve a government whose professed aim is to reduce Hungary to the h > vel of a common Austrian province . ' The machinery of government cannot work' say the Hungarians , ' as Ions ; as the vis inertia of the nation clogs its wheels , and this will always be the case until its just demands are granted . ' The government , adds the correspondent , is playing a hazardous game , and many experienced politicians are of opinion that the chances are against its winning ; they even prophecy that the finances wvtt be tbe downfall of the present administration , and possibly of the Empire .

      WURTKMBERG—The conflict which threatened to arise between tbe executive power and the Chambers of Wurtf . mherir . on the subject of the fundamental rig ht proclaimed at Frankfort for all Germans , bas been averted . The . Second Chamber , in its sitting of the 15 th adopted by a maioritv of 53 against 33 , the government bill declaring the fundanvn' & l tights then and henceforth ahotfshed as concerned Wnrtemberg . Tbe second clause of tbe bill , tending to re-estaMish the restrictions on the jews which existed before 1848 . was rejected by a strong majority . The government promised to submit to the legislature propositions conceived in a spirit of liberality towards the Hebrew population .

      ITALY . PIEDMONT . —A letter from Turin states that after the laie division in tbe Chamber of Deputies , which gave the ministry a majority of only two upon the question of a crpdit to be granted for the fortifications of Casale , M . D e lia Marmora , the Minister of War , offered bis resi gnation , but withdrew it at the earnest request of bis colleagues . Mr . Mather , the young Englishman who was cut down by an Austrian officer at Florence , was at Genoa on the 15 th insL Tbe ' Genoa Gazette' states that his face is marked with a large scar .

      TUSCANY . —The Austrian army of occupation is to be reduced to 3 , 500 men—a diminution of 2 , 000 . Tbe Tuscan government is about to " organise a regiment , which will ba placed under tbe orders of a French officer , Colonel Rousaelot . Another French officer , an engineer , has arrived at Leghorn , at tbe request of the Grand Duke , to survey and report upon the state of the port of Lea , horn , in which it is proposed to make extensive improvements .

      BELGIUM . The trial of MM . n'HaussonviJJe and Alexandre Thomas with ( out otbeis concerned in the publication of the ' Bulletin Fraingais / commenced on Saturday at the assizes of Brabant and terminated on Monday . The Attorney-General Bavay conducted the prosecution . The jury were in deliberation an hour and a half , and upon their return delivered a verdict of acquittal npon each of tbe thirty points submitted to them . MM . d'Haussonville and Thomas were immediately set at liberty , aud tbe latter left at once for London .

      SWITZERLAND . GENEVA . —Of the precise nature of the explanations or concessions by which the present dispute between France and tbe Confederation has been arranged nothing is yet known here , and the total silence maintained by the Federal Council begins to excite discontent and remonstrance even from « be Conservatives . The cause of this reserve , or one of itj causes , is to be found in the something more than coolness in the relations of the Federal Council to the cantonal government ! , to that of Geneva especially . The 8 Uppositita that either the Federal government or that of Geneva has shown a dangerous chivalry in defence of the « exiles is

      quite unfounded ; tbe terms of the demand were offensive , but the demand itself was not likely to he resisted . The dispute reall y turns on the fact whether the Federal Council has the right to send a commissary with its orders to the government of an independent cantoa w not . M . J . F « y contends that such a power only resides in Jhe Federal Assembl y—the representative of tbe whole of the cantons ; and that , in defending the independence of the canton , he shall have the whole public opinion of Switzerland with him . The contest is one of principle ; tome concessions have been made , in point of fact , and , as far as the refa «; eei « re concerned , tbey have not found that tbe duirnl bu been taj protection to them .

      France. Bfae Bfae Bndeet «, As May Be Ex...

      SPAIN . Advices from Madrid , dated tbe 17 tb , state that the Spanish government was about to send reinforcements to Cuba ; also that the negociation of the treaty on internat ional copyri ght between France and . Spain , which bad been abandoned , was resumed .

      TURKEY . A telegraphic despatch , dated Zara , March 14 tb , states that a force of 1 , 700 men had been marched into Ltono , where the Greeks and Catholics were disarmed , ard all the clergy with two principal men out of every canton seized and imprUoned . A Proclamation was issued , threatening with death all persons except Turks who should secret arms . Travellers , even those possessing Austrian passports , found great difficulty in making their journeys . Many Chrintians , their means exhausted by the soldiers quartered upon them , wander about without shelter . The des . 'atch ^ conveying these particulars comes through an Austrian medium .

      MALTA . The Malta post brings the news of Admiral Ditndas having relieved Admiral Parker in the command of the Mediterranean fleet . Admiral Dundas hoisted his flag on board the Britannia , lie at once sen t off reinforcements to the Channel fleet . There now remain in the Mediterranean only the Trafalgar , Bellerop hon , Modeste , Scourge , Spiteful , and Britannia .

      UNITED STATES . By the royal mail steam-ship Africa , Captain Harrison , we have advices from New "Jork to the 10 th inst . Shortly after tbe arrival of the Royal mail steam-ship America at Boston an attempt to smugg le twenty-nine packages of lace ashore was prevented by the Custom-house officers , who captured the goods . An investigation showed that the guilty party was one of the head waiters . On the 8 ih a warrant was issued , and tbe America taken possession of , to be afterwards given up to the agents on their entering into bonds for her value . A steward named Bickley had absconded .

      The renewed attempt at a trial of the Cuban expeditionists was made on the 8 th inst ., when the day was occup ied in empannelling the jury and the opening statement of counsel . It is expected that the investigation will develop some interesting circumstances connected with the contemplated invasion of Cuba , and , altogether , as a slate prosecution , the trial will be one ol the most important ever brought before tbe United States courts , whatever may bs the result . The Vera Cruz papers are still filled wWa panUcu ' . ais oi the disasters caused by the late gale . The remains of the Robert Stevenson have been found on the shore at Coatzaeoalcos , as well as several planks marked « Robert Spedden . ' Another American vessel is said to have been lost , too ; but no name is given .

      The accounts from Northern Mexico are very conflicting . News from the Rio Grande reached Orleans on the 6 th inst ' , to the effect that Caravajal had attacked aud captured C » - margo . and was then closely besieging Matamoras . A private despatch of a later date confirms the defeat of Caravajal in in his attack on Camargo . He had only 522 men , 84 of whom were Mexicans , and the balance fiilibustero . ' Most of them escaped to the American side of the river . The Empire City had brought to New York one month s later intelligence from Chile . It appears that there has been a revolution among the state prisoners confined at the Straits of Magellan ; which is the Botany Bay of ihe Chilian Republic , and that the revolutionists have seized two American vessels .

      Late advices from Santa Fe represent the country as being in a great state of excitement , in consequence of the murderous depredations of the Indians . Even the government troops , who are too few in number to defend themselves , let alone protecting the settlers , are killed by tbe Apaches , whenever an opportunity occurs .

      The Dearth In Prussia.—The Military Maga...

      The Dearth in Prussia . —The military magazines of corn and flour in the provinces being well-stocked , have received orders so sell considerable quantities in case of need where tbe dearth is greatest . Destruction of Rheinakdsbrunn . —Tbe palace of Rheinardsbrunn , tbe favourite residence of the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha , brother of his Royal Hi ghness Prince Albert , was burned to the ground on the night of the 14 th . The edifice was situated in one of tbe most charming spots of the Thuringian Forest , and occupied the site of an ancient monastery . It was not long since built at great cost in tbe old German style , and contained treasures of art and antiquity of untold value . The disaster was purely accidental .

      RbYAL Bask ov Australia . —Advices from Australia just received represent the tragic end of Mr . Benjamin Boyd , the founder and managing director of tbe effairs ol this hunk abroad , it appears that the unfortunate gentleman , with some of his men , was seeking capture of tortoises in the South Seas , when , it is reported , a dispute arose between the cannibals , or natives , and the crew , and that Mr . Boydtperisbei in the fray . Constantinupie . —The 'Autrian Lloyd ' s' states from Constantinople that a serious difference has arisen between the authorities of Janina , in consequence of some ads of violence towards a French s & bject . The Austrian and British Consuls took part with the Consul of France . It is added that the Sultan had sent two o ( his officers to Janina to inquire into and make a report on this affair .

      A fashionable dressmaker living near the Place Vendome , Paris , Mdlle . F , caused , a few days ago , an eagle bearing a crown to lie painted on the windows of her shop , The next day mud and filth were thrown on it , and this was repeated the following day also . On Tuesday evening a ball , apparently discharged from an air gun , knocked tbe window to pieces , and penetrated some wood-work , near which the dressmaker was seated . Fortunately she was not touched . Some persons , who happened to be passing , immediately went in pursuit of the aggressor , but were not able to discover him . The same night a fire broke out in the bedroom of the dressmaker , but it was soon extinguished . The Joss of the Austrian steam corvette Marianne , in the Adriatic , is confirmed beyond doubt . Ei ghty persons , among whom was Baron Kubeck ' s son , perished in her .

      The distress in Germany is somewhat alleviated . An official journal in East Prussia notifies that large supplies of rye are lying on tbe banks of the Mencb , from Kowno to Russian Georgebourgh , and will soon come to the relief of the districts where dearth is felt . In the Berlin cornmarket there has been a great fall of prices since the thaw , which has opened the canals and facilitated the transport of supplies . A letter from Constantinop le , from a well-informed party , writing on tbe 3 rd inst . , says that Austria was reported to have demanded from the Poite a cession of territory , as indemnification for injury sustained through the assistance given to the Hungarians during tbe late war .

      The Usitbo States Expkmtion Aoaikst Japa...

      The Usitbo States Expkmtion aoaikst Japan . —Much activity , says a New York paper , now prevails in some of the departmunts of tho United States Navy-yard at this place in preparing the brig Perry and store-shi p Supply for this expedition . Work men are employed until near midnight upon both of these vessels , us also upon the outfit Of tho steam-frinate Mississippi . This last-named vessel is now at Philadelphia , having her machinery thoroughly overhauled and repaired ; all her other work is to be dono here . She is intended for tho flag ship of Commodore Perry ; In addition to the usual complement of small arms , she will be provided with 120 stands of muskets , and the same number each of pistols , cutlasses , Ac . ; she will take an equal number extra for the steamfrigate Susquehanna , now in those seau , and which U to form one of the squadron . The Mississippi will also take with her a park of twelve 24-pound howitzers . As all despatch is ordered to be used in making these preparations , it is expected that the expedition will BOOB 00 ready for sailing .

      Russian Influence in Italy . — The avowed object of the jouuw ? of the Emperor to 'V enice w » s a visit to the Grand Duke Cunstantine , but the real motive that induced his Majesty to show himself to his happy subjects inparlibut infdelium was to ascertain the nature of the intri gues carried on in Iialyby Russia . The second son of the Czar . residing at Venice , makes frequent excursions along the coast , und-r the pretext of studying his profession as admiral , and expends about 100 , 000 , 0007 . monthly . It was thus that the Empress , in 1847 , under the pretence of recovering her health , fixed her residence at Olivuzza , near Palermo . The consequence of that imperial bad health was an alliance with the King of Naples , who thereby was sufficiently strong to brave England and the Italian revolution . An extraordinary fete was given

      towards the close of the carnival at the Carcano Theatre . In order to escape the vigilance of subaltern spies , the price of the tickets was fixed at ten Uvres , and with the view to exclude the white warriors ( the Austrians ) it was agreed not to admit armed persons . Two officers having presented themselves , were invited to deposit their swords ; they refused , and withdrew . An hour afterwards Count Gnilay arrived with all his staff , and . after walking round the hall with bis awordknocking on the floor , retired . We have been assured that the Grand Duke Constantino will visit Lombardy next summer , and spend some weeks at Monza Opinione of Turin . The New York papers state that the case of N . P . Willis against Edwin Forre » t , for the well-known assault and battery , terminated on tbe 3 rd in a verdict for the plaintiff of 2 , 500 dollars damages .

      Lahoe Consignmbst or California !* Gold . —On Saturday advices were received at Lloyd ' s that the Abeona , Bartlet master , bad been chartered at Vera Cruz for tlie conveyance of a cargo of gold , direct to Southampton , and that she was now on her passage to that part with no less than 5 , 000 , 000 dollars of the dust . ¦ Gun Cotiom—The military commission of the Germanic Diet has granted the sum of 40 , 000 flwini to Professors Schonbetn , of Basle , and Bottger , of Frankfort , u a reward for their invention of gun cotton .
