It is pre icted that th e exc it emen t w ill soon b e over , an d a shall shortly see things resume their ordi nary course. Whatever amount of gold may • i t is said, it will before long be returned to this c ountry. It le stated that the Austrian finances for the last quarter show a marked improvement.

The American press has dropped into the " silly season" with dissertations on the nose-pulling case, an account of which we gave some time ago. The Springfield Republican asks, in a leader, "Are our noses our own ?" This was the case which Judge Scudder, in the question before him, whether Mr. Churchill's nose remained his, or belonged to Mr. Daniel S. Curtis when he seized it, thus decided : That a man's nose is his own, and cannot be grasped by another without peril. Mr. Curtis maintained his right to pull Mr. Churchill's nose when the latter stated he was no gentleman, but the law regarded the act as no proof ; on the contrary, it seemed rather to accept the act in support of the truth of the allegation, so Mr. Curtis was sent to gaol for assault. The Republican goes on thus : " Let us admit, for the sake of argument, that up to the nose-pulling Curtis was polite, and Churchill was grossly insulting. We may then inquire by what rule of good breeding Curtis was authorized to disturb the peace and comfort of fifty other people for the sake of personally chastising a man who had insulted him." The Nation asks whether, when a nose has to be pulled, the Republican thinks it should bo done privately or in some secluded place. The Common wealth concludes that the offence was a deliberate attempt to establish caste in America. But "it will not do ; we may all become gentlemen, in that we may all succeed in making the best and kindest use of the faculties which God has given us." But Mr. Churchill was making that use of his nose, for on it he had placed his spectacles, which he, perhaps, considered its best and kindest use ; and it was Mr. Curtis who ill-used the "faculty." The Common wealth ought to have recommended the tenderest regard for the faculties God has given to others. The London correspondent of the Boston Daily .Advertiser remarks : Talking of the manners and customs of the great, a very distinguished man told me yesterday that he had been struck ever since he had boon a member of the Athenaeum Club with the prelates he had met there. The episcopate is, as everybody knows, groat at the Athenaeum, and my friend's observation was directed to its want of prayerful preludes at meals. I've seen many a bishop commence dinner, and I never saw one of them say grace yet ! How do I know they do not say it mentally ? Because they don't give themselves time. From reading the Sun or Pall 3lall to beginning their soup I've noted there's been no pause whatever, and it always seems funny to me that if the rite of grace before meat be good at all, as it doubt less is, it should be eschewed by these fathers of the Church simply because they're at a club.'

THE ALLEGED FRAMS AT WOOLWICH DOCKYARD. At the close of the case last night against Wm. M'Cubey, Thomas Wright, and Jones, whith re sulted in an acquittal, it was intimated by the counsel for the prosecution that other indictmen's against the prisoners would be proceeded wi,h, but Mr. Poland this morning informed Mr. Justice Brett that a consultation had taken place with re spect to the case, and after a full consideration of the evidence to be offered in the other cases it had been thought desirable not to proceed further against M'Cubey and Wright, but with respect to Jones it had been thought further time should be taken for determining the course to be pursued with respect to him. lie should not ask for his further detention now, but be proposed that he should find sureties to appear next session to meet any charge that might be brought against him. The learned Judge thought the course pursued the proper one, and therefore two of the defendants would be discharged, and Jones, on giving the required security, could also be set at liberty. THE CHARGE AGAINST A MEDICAL MAN. Henry TiMSOD, surgeon, and William Henry M'Grath, clerk, were indicted for felony. It will be recollected that the prisoners were tried last session, and after the close of the evidence the jury were discharged at eleven o'clock at night, being unable to agree to their verdict. The evi dence offered to-day was precisely the same as that on the former trial. In the New Court the learned Judges were oc cupied in trying Edwin Edginton and Maria Cox for infringing the Bankruptcy Law ; and a similar prosecution was also going on against R. Wilson, broker, in the Third Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-4Ris Day. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. ALLEGED ILLEGAL PRACTICE AMONGST BROKERS.-111 the course of a caso of illegal distress, which came before Mr. Knox a few days ago, it transpired that one of the items charged by the broker was that of a shilling for the constable's administering the oath to the appraiser, and the broker summoned said it was paid to the constable, and that it was a usual charge. Mr. Knox asked Inspector Browning, of the 0 Division, whether such was the practice ? inspector Browning said he was not aware that it was. He had sworn several persons himself, and never made such a charge; but he would make inquiries into the parti cular case. The inspector now reported that he had seen the ap praiser, a very respectable man, and he had informed him that no such charge was made, and that it was not usual to do so. Mr. Knox said the point which affected poor people was this : —The broker said it was a constant practice amongst brokers to make tho charge, while it now turned out that it was not. In fact, it was a system pursued by some brokers to screw an extra shilling out of poor persons. His only object in wishing inquiry made was for the pro tection of poor people and the vindication of the police. OIiDINAICY 81:1Ati - XS AND STOCKS. mare Railways. Paid.

THE ALLOTMENT NOTE.—Mr. Irish, the chief mate of the ship Edith, in the port of Liverpool, applied to Mr. Benson for his advice. Applicant said about fivo years ago ho left his allot ment note with a Mr. John Mason, then landlord of the St. Katherine Dock Hotel, Upper East Smithfield, and now of Boxley, in Kent, f or th e purpose of his receiving £lO owing to him. Mr. Mason, however, received the whole of the allotment monthly while ho was at sea, amounting to £55, and refused to pay him the ballanco of £45. He wished to obain a warrant or summons against Mr Mason to compel him to pay the balance. Mr. Benson—He was to draw enough to cancel your debt. Mr. Irish—Yes, sir. Mr. Benson—Was that so expressed on the body of the instrument ? Mr. Irish—No, sir; it was not. The allotment note was an authority for Mr. Mason to receive the money once a month. I believe he has since failed and compromised with his creditors. Mr. Benson—Was your name entered into the composi tion deed with the rest of the creditors. Mr. Irish could not answer for certain that that was so. _ _ Mr. Benson said that could bo easily ascertained. If Mason had scheduled the applicant with the remainder of his creditors he would be unable to recover the balance. If Mr. name was not scheduled he could recover the £l5. lie considered it was exceedingly imprudent for Mr. Irish to intrust au allotment note for £35 with a pub lican to pay a debt of £lO. Mr. Irish—But I only meant him to receive £lO. Mr. Benson—Then it ought to have been expressed on the note. I cannot assist you, but you can sue Mr. Mason in the County Court, and if he has not scheduled you you will recover the balance. Mr. Irish thanked the magistrate and withdrew. L:►ZY PAUPELLS.—Thomas Belcher, John Davis, and John Dean, able-bodied paupers, each aged 18, were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with refusing to perform the task of work assigned them in the Mile-end Old-town Workhouse. Mr. Thomas Davis, superintendent of labour, said the prisoners came to the casual ward last night, and each had a piece of bread and a lodging, and another piece of bread this morning. He ordered them to break up a bushel of stones in return for what they had received. The prisoners refused to do so. They said they were countrymen, and came to London in search of work. Mr. Benson —There is more work in the country than there is in London. You had better have stopped in the country, and not come here. Why did you not work this morning ? The Prisoners —We were not used to breaking stones. Mr. Benson—Nonsense. You are three strong fellows. You aro sentenced to 1-1 days' imprisonment. You will have to work in the House of Correction.

(Signed) ROULAND. The gentlemen cadets at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, a certain number of whom were told off to undergo some practical instruction in artillery, yesterday were marched to the Green hill Battery, Royal Artillery Barracks, and fired empty shells with bursting powder, to test the accuracy of the length of fuzes which they had cut for certain ranges. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE, ments already attending this unenviable elevation, the subject of the Press Laws has again been brought promi nently forward. The Constitutionnel, which believes the Government to have a new law on the press ready, boldly acknowledges that it is indispensable. The old system of repression can never be resumed after two months of tolerance, for liberty cannot be lent. The press must remain free, and if there must be a law to regulate it, the Constitutionnel suggests that the Government would do wisely to leave to individual citizens, whose interests are affected, the task of resenting its possiblo•excosses. IVhilo on this topic I may mention that tho Government bellows it has discovered the author of the famous medical articles in the Rerei/. A doctor is the individual suspected, but ho totally denies having any share in the matter. However, ho has been warned that in case of another offence he will bo proceeded against. Supposing him to be innocent, as ho avers, of any participation in the affair, this intimation of possible punishment for another man's offence must be very agreeable. The Pantin murder is still the subject of much solici tude; it is believed that the murderers have been discovered by the police. They are supposed to be the husband and eldest son of the murdered woman The son if said to have drowned himself, but the father has been taken. Tho name of Kinck fa not the real name of the family. The investigations that have taken place lead to the impression that these men had no accomplices, and that the father of tho children accom plished the greater root of the dreadful work by himself. He dug the grave, where he afterwards laid the bodies and brought his victims to Pantin en sense pretext or ether. There was evidently some disagreement between tho hus band and wife with respect to the settlement of her fortune. He wished her to spend some of her money in purchasing a property in Alsace ; but she was unwilling to do so, and complained to a neighbour that she could not keep the money for her children. The discovery of the bodies took place so soon after the perpetration of the crime that it disconcerted the plans of the murderers. By to-morrow, no doubt, there will be more light thrown on this horrible mystery, for the most strenuous efforts are being made to arrive at the truth. The Minister of the Interior is coming out in a new character, as the protector of the Prefects. These officials, you will remember, opposed with great vehemence the election of a number of the famous 116. Now as the Government has acknowledged the right of the 116 to make their demands, and has actually granted tho Senatus- Consultum they asked for, how can the Minister of the Interior consistently support officials who have endea- voured to exclude them from the Chamber on no other ground ? The Chasles affair has again occupied the attention of the Academy of Sciences. M. Dumas referred to M. Chasles' statement of the foregoing week, and was not satisfied with it. M. Chasles' explanation did not afford the Academy the relief it expected, for he declared that the mystery was not yet unravelled. M. Chasles subsequently explained that he had not any longer the least reason to believe in the authenticity of his documents, and that the mystery ho alludedto was the forging of so many thownul documents.

Windsor Castle may bo visited on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fri days, by tickets obtainable at the Lord CLauthorlaiu's Office, izl the Castle. The Spiteful, paddle-wheel steamer, Commander Morrell, was paid off at Portsmouth yesterday, after having been throe years and eleven months in commission, the most of the time spent on the Brazilian and East India station. In the early part of the present year she visited the whole of the western coast of Burtnah and Siam, suppressing the piracies existing there, and, as a suitable end to her services, had the honour of taking possession of the Nicobar Islands, in the Indian Ocean, on the 28th of March. The paddlewheel steamsloop Buzzard, 2, Staff- Commander Thaiu, is under orders to leave Devon port for Pembroke. The Speedy, screw tender, Commander Palmer, arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday evening from the Channel Islands. THURSDAY. The Emperor appears to be quite recovered, and carries on his business each day with the greatest activity. The pre parations for the Empress's departure aro proceeding most rapidly, and a correspondent from Toulon tells of the activity displayed on board the Aiglo. Workmen arc still on board, but so soon as the lait'ene shall have taken his departure, the Adriatic journey will commnco. There is no longer any doubt as to the movements of the Empress, for the vessel contains packages and cases bearing some significant addresses. Alexandria, Cairo, Egypt, and. Constantinople will all be visited by the illustrious lady. The Emperor promised M. de Lesseps that nothing should prevent the voyage from taking place if ho could possibly contrive her departure. This shews that the Emperor feels better, and also that he disregards the counsels cf his Ministers, who are known to be opposed to tho voyage under any circum stances. They are said to offer their objections on the ground that tho enterprise will fail, and that the presence of tho Empress will compromise the French Government, and compel them to render assistance. Before proceeding to Constantinople, the Empress•will visit the King and Queen of Greece at Corfu ; the Ottoman Ambassador hem will await her at the lonian Isles, and conduct her to the capital of the Empire. The Temps of this morning compares the head of the State at this time to a man who, having climbed a peak, does not know how to descend without sliding over a precipice. Tho descent is steep; tho ladder of the Senatus- Consultum is too short; and yet to remain alone on the peak, abandoned in the void, is not prudent. In such a position a further ascent is not at all desisable ; a safe descent is the great object, and how to accomplish that without danger is the question.
