EXPRESS FROM PARIS. 110* OUR OM PARIS, MONDAT EVINI3IO. In the Senate today, after a complimentary tri- I •I'e paid by M. Tmploug to the memory of Count T,-her do la Pagerie, whose death he announced, t .ilea of the day was called for the debate ou tird paragraph of the aildreas : TL. Mantel' de Ilaisay,said that be was not vain glorionv. be ventured to speak after what had beets so brid ...tie, but, as be thought, so unfortunately said Lid week. t wader should sot be deterred from the performance of by statement*, however high the quarter from which 14. poess.shal, thatthaas who honestly told the Senate what 14, t tie etilit en re enemies of the Emperor. For his own part, 4, was A staurich peutisan of the Emperor, and he billeted tho cal o moy to scorn. It used to be said formerly : "If the Emperor only knew." But now it might be said : "11. e Empen.r will be sure to know." .%nd that idea viohl stay abuses. The Emperor knew what had been ...id la the Senate the other day, and would certainly desire to know what were the arguments on the other side. Was the theme always to he chloroformed while Incense w...derwl up to the Sovereign. It should never be for gotten that a predeceseor of the present Sovereign had lost the empire. That example would not be lust. The present Emperor did not desire to be Battered. N..: he wanted the opinion of the Senate, and it RA4 their duty to give bun that opinion faithfully. The Emperor's pretest enemies were his flatterers. "Let them labour in their vocation while we do our duty." It had been alleged that the catholic' were enemies of the Emperor. No. The catholic, were more dynastic them those who sought the overthrow of the papacy. He attributed the vague and undecided character of the first paragraph of the address to the fact that the committee which drew it up was too small and did not sufficiently represent the various opinions of members. But for this they would not have had to observe with pain the &teases of any allusion to the navy front which the country expected such great eervices. "If a war should break out with r e , z l A ud, which, for my own part, I desire with all my heart - (Narks of dissent.) Thr NAvitlis de LARUCHLIAQUELLI—This is hank, at all esenti. The Marquis ile Bowie (in continuation)—Much hat been true of the benefits of the alliance with England. Ido not slum that opinion; and I express my own, which I believe to be that of the majority of the French people.k(Ob ! oh!) [Left speaking.] You neod not be exce4sively surprised at the hostility of the Marquis do Bonny. So far from being a " rerevsentative wan," ho is a fussy eccen tric personage, who, in the old parliaments, wu always iu the wrong box, and whose advice nobody would ever think of following. I think his esca pade on this occasion a very considerable guarantee that the peace between the two countries is not likely to be broken. It is believed that Prince Napoleon will speak spits before the debate on the paragraphs is over. Ho last speech was at once translated into Italian, printed, and sent off to Italy and Sicily, where it will be must extensively distributed. The Archbishop of Tours, following up the idea of the Bishop of Poitiers, writes to the Pope, " You are at this moment a spectacle for men and envie, like Jesus Christ upon the cross." How ever, as his grans says nothing about Pilate, the Council of State will, i dare say, let him alone. A letter from Rome says that in one of the churches there the allegorical figure of " Humility" is re presented in a painting just finished, by a young girl treading under foot the cross and ribantl of the Legion of Honour. If this be humility, it must be supposed that the many bishops and priests who at one time humbly supplicated for the order in question, now wear it by way of mortification. The 'onstitofiossiel, piqued at the disdainful man ner iu which the Marquis do Laroch ejaquelin speaks of the press, tells the story that only a few months ago he condescended to come to their office to beg fur a notice of a pamphlet of his, and said, "Do speak of it. Praise or blame just as you like, but say something. Ido not deserve the punishment of your silence." The Bourse was very dull. The Rents fell sc. for cash, and 10c. for account, closing at GBfr. se. in each case. Mobilier fell lOfr. In railways there is scarcely any change. The Miris socurittes are • trifle better. At Belfort, ia the Haut Rhin, a municipal coun cillor, having been discovered to be the author of a scurrilous paper thrown into the ballot-box, threatening the mayor to burn his house down it he did nut resign, has been sentenced to • month's imprisonment, and the Prefect has ordered his perpetual diafnutchierment bfdlle. Kandy, the new tragic actress of the Odeon, is rapidly acquiring a reputation. Her per formance of Aggrippine in the Flit de Nemo—a favourite part of Mdlle. Georges' thirty years ago —is praised by all the theatrical fenilletonista this week. The young lady is a native of fisumur, •here she was a drommaker, and her real name is Caroline Dessau.

G. or:I , K no, • reepectahly.dressed youth. ishout IN years of ago., who refused his address, was charged before Mr. Barker with breaking and entering the dwelling-hones, .o. a, Illantl'a.huildings, Ocewellatreet. St. Luke's, and stealing therefrom 901. in gold and silver, the property of Mr. Ileorge Holmes, a clerk. Mr. Lewis apisared fur the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor a few days since, on going to one of his hoses, ascertained that ho bad been rubbed of over 901. Ile communicated with Policeaergeant Evans, 22 G, a detective officer, and on Sun day night he found the prisoner had entered the prosecutor's room by means of false keys, and was in the act of remov ' Mg some articles from the bus from which the money had been stolen, when be pounced on him and asked him what he was doing there. The prisoner made him DO answer, and Evans then charged him with stealing !Kg., when the pri soner " I did not have 90f., but only about half of that amount." While in the waiting-morn of the court, the pn sneer said that all the money he bad had was M.; but, alth he knew who had had the reek he would not " on him. The primmer said be should reserve his defence. Mr. 13erker fully committed the prisoiser to the sessions for trial. Mr. Lewis applied that the gold watch and articles of jewellery tuna! on the prisoner might be given np. Mr. Barker said the prisoner had admitted that be had bought the articles with the prosecutor's money, sod there for* he should make no order in the matter. SOUTHWARK. ATT SUICIDE IN TIM VVER ?HAMM Bridget Hagan, middle•aged woman of rather dissipated appearaime, was brought before lfr. Combo charged with side, attemptiag wark. to commit suicide in the river Thames at Bank- South It appeared from the evidence of a water man and a man who is engaged as a labourer at a wharf at Bankaide, that between seven and eight last evening they heard a splashing noise in the river as if some one was stnwliug hard. They imme diately proceeded to the water's edge, and saw the prisoner in a sinking skate about thirteen yanis from the bank. They procured a boat and pulled off to her, and with some diM. malty succeeded in rescuing her. She was much exhausted, and they conveyed her to a neighbouring surgeon's, where the usual remedies were used with success. Mr. Combo asked what was the state of the tide at the time' The waterrnan replied that it was near high water, and she must have been drowned had they not hoard her at the time, as she would have linen drawn under some of the bargee moored near the bridge. The prisoner rid she had been drinking a little, and must have fallen in by mistake. She bad no intention of com mitting suicide. Mr. Combe asked her if she was a married woman! Prisoner said that she was, but she did not know where ber hushaad was. The watennZ bete informed his worship that it would have been impossible for anyone to have fallen into the river by accident near that spot. She must have made a determined attempt to drown herself, as she was thirteen ya!sla from the bank. - Mr. Combs told the prisoner ha could not part with bar without knowing nomething more about her. He should therefore remand her fors few days, so that her relatives could be communicated with. THZ OUTRAM TESTIMONIAL.-(THIS DAY.)

THE COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT WORNLEY.—SinCe We published an 'mounter thiaaccidentanother of the men who were working in the pit at the timeof theexplosioahas died, the, making the number of deaths nine. OnSaturday, Mr. Rutter, coroner, held an inque.t upon the bodies of the de °mad, at the Stocks Inn, Vt , "alkdipe, Woraley, at which the governmeut inspector, Mr. J. Dickinson, was preeect. There were eleven witnesses examined, and from the evidence adduced, it appeared that on the morning that the explo sion occurred, John Jones, one of the underlookers, went meal the mine with the fireman, John Latchford. to ex amine the workings. Jones discovered a "bit" of gat is the cornor of one of the lays, where the air did not pea He told Latchford to prepare bratticing for the purpose al conveying the air put where the gas was, but requested that be would not do this until all the hoods were out of the pit. The probability appeared to be that Latchford had disobmed order., and caused the explosion by which his own life, amongst other., was sacrificed. The effect of putting up the bratticing before the men got out of the pit would be to drive the gas right over them, and, of course, if it came in contact with any light an oxidants was in evitable. After the accident Latchford's body was found about 20 yards from the place where he hail &ea putting the brattasing up, anal his lamp, which was unlocked, was found about six yanls from his body. The lamp of Peter Hope, one of the men who was killed, was found open ; and it was the opinion of the government inspector that the gam waa first fired at this lamp. After the coroner hail summed up, the Jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to their death by au explosion of fire damp, but as to how it was caused there was no satisfactory evidence to show.

The funds to-day are very principal business consisting of preparations for the settlement. Prices are now quoted barely as good a. at the close yesterday. In the share markets prices are well supported, but there is an entire absence of animation. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 68fr., being sc. lower than they closed yesterday. The scrip of the new Indian loan in firm, at 100i1 to s for the account. Consols are officially marked 914 and for money, and 91/ to for the account. The present quotations are 91/ to both for money and next Thursday.

The Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 691 to 70} ; and that of 1858, 54 to 52} ex div.

Bonds, 53. In the discount market yesterday there was no pressure. The rate for the best bills up to sixty days was 71 to 8 per cent. At the Bank a fair demand was experienced. The bills due yesterday (the 4th) and on Saturday appear to have been very well met. We learn that, notwithstanding the improvement iu the New York exchange, one of the packets to morrow will take out a large amount of specie. Arrangements have already been made to send 200,0001. , and it is probable that the total to be despatched from Liverpool and Southampton on that day may reach 300,0001. or upwards. The sum first mentioned goes to one of the banks in the Southern States, which is pressed upon for specie, owing to the prevailing distrust. About 45,0001. in gold, partly continental, was bought by the Bank yesterday. The Norman, from the Cape of Good Hope, has brought 4,2;301. in The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was very active. The sales reached 20,000 bales. The advices received yesterday from Havana, rid the United States, report the failure of several Spanish houses, but it is understood that they have no connexions here, and that their liabilities fall chiefly upon the spot. The accounts altogether are very unfavourable, the great losses on sugar, the stable oommodityof Cuba, having been severely felt. The steamship Australasian, which was de spatched from Liverpool by the Cunard Company with the weekly American mails on Saturday, the lflth February, haw put back to Queenstown, and her mails have been taken on by the Arabia, which sailed on Sunday. This information is contained ex clusively in the "Post-office Packet List" of yester day. It would be interesting to know some details, more especially as the Australasian is the only screw steamer used by that company under the mail contract. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,201/., and the South Eastern an increase of 6801. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending February lb, were 8,4711. sterling, being 1,8781. more than in the corresponding week of last year. The London agents of the Illinois Central Rail way Company received yesterday the following report : . . . Illinois Central Railroad Office, New York, Feb. 19. Messrs. Robert &won and Co., London. Gentlemen,—The lend sales of the week ending 15th inst. amount to 25,4 M dole. 49c., being more than that of the whole month of February, 1859. The earnings of the road for the second Dole. e. week foot up Laat year same week was 51,039 70 hems* We have advice of • very severe snow storm on the northerly part of the line, which may probably obstruct somewhat the quick working of the trains ; but nevertheless we look for a first.rate month's business. The inquiry as to land continue*, awl from the evidence we are daily receiving there is every probability that our calculation for extenaive sales during the present year will be fully verified. Illinois offers inducement, for settlements far superior to more distant districts of country. The state being intersected by railroads affords easy com munication for travel and transport The small farmer has a ready market for his surplus * product, and the large one scope of land for any quantity of stock and cultivation ; and all have a new country, at a low price, readily con vertible into the equivalent of an old one ; in other words, the second year he has hisl,,wheat field or his tame gram free from stumps and stones, the mud concomitants of • wooded country. In a more remote district, where nature has not favoured • sectiou with a navigable strum', or art has not constructed • railroad, the grain must be consumed at home, as it will not bring the cost of carriage, and iusteud of finding a sale for stock near at hand, it must bo driven at • great loss of flesh and time to seek a distant market. _ _ This difference of position must insure the speedy settle ment of the company's lands, and give large earnings at an early period. Under this view, and considering that the lands are nowhere excelled in productiveness combined with salu brity, and the liberal terms on wtich the company's lands are sold, there can be no mi"takc in predicting a much granter demand for actual settlement than has characterised even the hitherto rapid development of til, State of Minds.

The mining market to-day is rather more active, and business to a fair extent has been done. North Wheal Basset shares are in demand and are last marked Bi t . A number of transactions will be found recorded in the Stock Exchange official list. Shares in Stray Park, Lady Bertha, Wheal Kitty (Lelant), Providenoc, East Basset, and Devon Great Consols have met with chief attention. Foreign and colonial mining shares are quiet. United Mexican have been dealt in at 41. At the annual meeting of the West Devon Con solidated Copper Mining Company, held on the 26th February, a statement of accounts was presented, and, together with the directors' report, was adopted. The latter document stated that operations at the mine are now iu a state of progress. In explana tion of the delay, it was mentioned that the di rectors have succeeded in getting the original pur chase money of 15,0001. in paid-up shares reduced to 4,500 paid-up shares, and that the plant npou the mine has bean obtained at a reduction from 3,000 paid-up shares to 1,2001. in money payments.
