PRANCE Accordin PARIS, JAN. 2. g to the official accou n t o f th e recep ti on of the Diplomatic Corps by the Emperor yesterday, his Majesty replied as follows to the Papal `Nuncio : The felicitations of the Diplomatic Corps, of which you are good enough to be the mouthpiece, touch me sensibly. I trust that that concord may continue to reign among us, of which your presence around me is a sure guarantee. Be convinced that I will make every effort that my relations with Ili °r 3 ign Powers be ever animated by respect for right, and love of peace and justice." The Emperor, in reply to the Archbishop of 413 41* said— " I tharik you for the sentiments which you ex resa in the name of the clergy of Paris, and for e prayers - which you addretio to- Heaven for - me. I am very glad to see my efforts to maintain religi- DUB interests appreciated by the Prelate who governs the diocese of Paris ; and I request your prayers for Me, for the Empress, and for the Imperial Prince." i A circular of the Minister of Justice, dated the I st instant, to the bishops, announces that the Courocil of State is occupied in examining the pro ject of a decree for authorising the publication of that part of the Encyclical Letter which grants a jubilee.

BKET CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. An active demand for monetary accommodation has prevailed to-day in discount circles, and as the supply of capital on offer continues to show a gra dual falling off, the rate required by brokers is fully 6 per cent. This quotation, however, is only for the negotiation of first class short dated, paper, and the applications to the Bank authorities have there fore been very numerous. There were no bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday. _ The City of Glasgow has arrived from New York with £100,870, and the Parana, from the Brazils, with £30,730. The transfer books of the International Finan cial Society will be closed from the 9th to the 21st January, inclusive, preparatory t© the general meeting. The share list of the Auction Mart Company (Limited) will close on Wednesday next for Lon don, and on the following Saturday for the country. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week state that business in most depart ments has been very slack, as usual at this period of the year, when stock taking is in progress, At Manchester the late advices from America have caused extreme dulness, and prices of both cloths and yarns have given way. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been in active, while there is little improvement to report in the hosiery and lace branches of Leicester and Not tingham. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton very little business has been done, and I prices are unaltered. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes have been 66f. 40c. Firm. Affairs at the Stock Exchange to-day have pre sented a more cheerful aspect, and the quotations of the principal bonds and shares show an improve ment. The public appear disposed to seize the opportunity for buying, since prices generally have ruled a little lower. The Funds have risen J . per cent., and Consols for money are 89f and for the account 89i The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 88f 4 ; India 5 per Cents., 1024 103 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 98 ; and the Bonds, 8 prem. Western each 10s. ; and Great Northern A Stock, 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines show no material change. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares also remain at 11 former rates. THE SUN, LOA 'his day.

BALL-noom.--At a ball at Konigs berg, in P russ i a , a few evenings since, a young lady sud denly fainted, and it was afterwards proved by the doctor who was called upon to render aid that her indisposition arose from the presence of arsenic in some green orna ments in her hair and in the trimmings of her dress, which were of the same colour. 121 12: 1 124 [3 t 131 1 0 107 55 57 z 5 27 .'3 111 ll5 If 111 71i 72 73 103 101 104 34 59 - 9 101. 123 124 11 2j 1 1 p 70 8 SO 101 11 138 112 58 (19 4 42 • 85 85 86 5! 8 9 163 168 34 4ip 108 109 88 40 - - 74 77 .01 103 J 99 9 91 I , i lin 88 10 8) £2 1 Oi d 1021 103 96 9i 91 93 56 58 3 5 82 81 102 103 l # o2i 103 ip 102 1,4.1 SHARE DON, MONDAY EVENI U, JANUARY 2, 1865.

One of five hundred Fellows, To organise and make us hay Who rake and blow the bellows ; Who do recall things great and small— The past, who will make pleasant ; What is pulled down in this our Town Your London makes most pleasant !" And it is with this instructive and entertaining cicerone, " 0 Mister Timbs--oh, F.S.A. !" that we set forth here again, out and about, in all sorts of odd nooks and corners of this vast and populous city of ours—penetrating, now the purlieus of Downing-street, now the precincts of Lyon's-inn ! Stalking about the streety site that once was Vaux hall Gardens ! Seeing with him the last of the Old Bridewell of London, as in one of Scott's most famous romances we saw once upon a time (in our mind's eye, Horatio) the last of the Old Tolbooth of Edin burgh, euphuistically termed by Sir Walter " The Heart of Midlothian :" or, as in one of Charles Dickens!s later fictions, " Little Dorrit," we beheld in the perspective of the past the dingy walls (both inside and outside) of the grim old Marshalsea. Mr. Timbs, in one chapter, here, talks to us about Mayfair; in another about the Temple. He carries us with, him one while, into Fishmonger's Hall, at another into Sir John Soane's Museum. He recounts all the changes that have be fallen Covent-garden—gives us the record of Forty years in Fleet-street--shows us at a rapid glance the general aspect of Charing-cross, once a • • ,4- ,..ljl.lacre 54,nated var i eu `' ,;izn the I Lond,.ll to wiv , t, from. 102 103 103 104 20 21 1 201 90 92 70 72 61 61 66 61 56 58 53 55 47 48 30 M 281 91 28 30 103 IC4 1011 I IP par 4 p SECURITIES. 98 1(0 4+7' 99 9I 9 , 87 8) 85 4: 151 I' , iP6 15 7 000 11! causes upon the w".4;;lA.l4)_(_d r uctiii it .I.us# 4- • • Ily_cLatz,i:: , =tl fiy fire two or three yetiri ago, old Campden H4se.

Altogether the pages from which the foregoing words are taken— these chatty and really exhilarating Walks and Talks about London—make up as delightful a book as any that John Timbs, F.S.A., has ever issued from the press. The which, surely, is saying a great deal, when we recall to mind for a moment the long and radiant series of anecdotal compilations from the same hand that has already made its appearance. 5i 6 32 33 575 695 471 49 i 19 20 6} € l , 41 5; 114 I'2l 4; 5 0' 8 1d) 19, 1 341 36 3/ 41 95 3'l 32 4; 9 42 5i 0; 20 22 70 131 15 1 S 5 205 18 2) I The Old City and its Highways and: Byways.

Another favourite antiquarian , gossiper about London—an author, in one respeCt, however, dif fering from the foregoing, inasmuch as unlike Mr. Timbs, he writes anonymously—here, in this hand some and substantial tome, emblazoned upon the cover of it YE OLD CITY, prattles to us about all sorts of things and persons metropolitan ! Aleph from page 1 to page 387 has this talk, of course, after the fashion of other authors, entirely to him self. But—not after the fashion of many authors —he never tires us. We listen—delighted. Whe ther his discourse be about the Auction Mart or about Mail Coaches—about Old St. Paul's or about the Monument—about Milton as a Londoner, or about Beckford as a Patriot Lord Mayor. lie has something new to say to us in regard to such old old stories as about Sir Walter Raleigh's Imprisonment, about the notorious South Sea Bubble, abou Colonel Blood stealing the Regalia, or about the roystering feasts of yore at the Shaksperian Boar's Head in Eastcheap. A plentiful sprinkling of charmingly engraved embellishments from the pencil of C. W. Sheeres, tends to the enlivening of the letterpress descriptions. Now we have before us the vera effigies, cut upon wood, of " Master Henry West Betty," now the ditto ditto - of H. R. H. the lamented Princess Charlotte. Here is Hogarth's squinting sketch of Wilkes—here Lawrence's hand some limning of Sir Astley Cooper. As a frontis piece the volume gives a very curious plan of Lon don as it was in the days of Sir Christopher Wren. As might be conjectured—the mere germ or nucleus of London as it is nowadays ! About as striking a contrast as might be discernible between a sapling oak tree and an oak tree umbrageous with the growth of a thousand summers. Like all the other books we have ever yet seen issuing from the City Press establishment of Mr. Collinridge, the present volume is as handsome in its general getting up, in its typography, in the excellence of the very paper upon which it is printed, and in the elegance of its external decorations, as the most fatidious lover of books in their comeliest form could reasonably desire.

By John Timbs One Vol., Pp. 311. Lockwood and Co. Another of Mr Timbs's delightful books—as rich in anecdote as any among his now voluminous series of compilations. It is especially a worthy companion to his famous volume entitled " Curiosities of Lon don." But that Mr. Timbs has already required a distinct shelf all to himself in every well-stocked English Library, we should have been tempted to place his present work, together with its predecessor, the " Curiosities of London," but just now men tioned, side by side with " The Town" of Leigh Hunt. Higher commendation than that, we could not con ceive it possible that we could well apply to any anecdotal book having particular reference to our giant metropolis. " Walks and Talks about Lon don" is of the same genus among topographical and antiquarian works of this character as " The Old Court Suburb" of the author of " The Town." In ; truth, among Mr. Timbs's iritiotlyre is one very delightful one that we here tale with him into the heart of that same " Old Court Suburb," or as our author himself rather delights to call it, after an other of its well known sobriquets —one bestowed upon it by Dean Swift " Kingly Kensing ton." Among these Talks of his, the one he thereupon has with us about Kensington and its surroundings, is to our fancy about the very plea santest. At all times we are glad when, as a plea sant Gossip, he takes us companionably by the but ton-hole. Conspicuous among his many agreeable qualities, he, never bores us. He is never long winded, or monotonous, or wearisome. He tells us briefly what he has to tell us, and goes on to some thing else. What is it Crofton Croker sang to him cheerily, whimsically, coloquially, in his merry verse ?

The country markets held on Saturday were firm for wheat, and dry produce changed hands at an advance in ' prices of is per quarter. In the demand for spring corn there was a great want of activity, but very little change took place in the quotations. The flour trade was steady at full prices. On the Continent the wheat trade is tolerably firm, but the demand for wheat, flour and maize at New York for export is still much restricted. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad comprised 7,500 quarters of wheat ; 5,138 barley ; 20,856 oats ; 710 rye ; 19 beans; 29 tares ; 11,116 linseed ; 1,132 oilseeds ; 513 sundry seeds ; 30 sacks and 316 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were small. The bulk of the supply was received in good condition, and the trade ruled firm, both for red and white qualities, at an advance in prices, compared with Wednesday last, of is. to 2s. per quarter. Nearly the whole of the samples was cleared from the stands at an early hour. There was a fair average supply of foreign wheat on offer. Spring red American descriptions were in request, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Winter red American parcels were firm in price, and all description of foreign wheat changed hands at extreme currencies. In floating cargoes of grain a moderate business was transacted and prices ruled firm. With barley the market was well supplied. The show of samples of good and fine malting produce being small, the trade for such qualities was decidedly firm at full quotations. Inferior barley was a dull inquiry at the recent low prices. The trade for malt was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, compared with Wednesday last no quotable change took place. The supply of oats on sale was moderately large. New Russian qualities were rather difficult of disposal, but in nearly all other descriptions, a fair average business was transacted, and prices ruled firm. Beans—although the supply on offer was very moderate —sold heavily, and a reduction of ls. per quarter took place in the quotations. Peas met a slow sale, but without quotable change in from Wednesday last. The market was scantily supplied In most descriptions of flour a moderate businesi was transacted, at full currencies.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were moderate. Most breeds came to hand in good saleable condition. Good and prime breeds commanded a steady sale at full prices. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. The Frilliest Scots and crosses were dis posed of at from ss. Gd. to 5s Bd.; but the more general quotations were ss. 4d. to ss. Gd. per 81bs. Nearly the whole of the supply was disposed of. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,700 Scots and crosses ; from other parts of England, including Lincolnshire, 1,200 various breeds ; from Scotland, 340 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. We were but scantily supplied with sheep ; but most breeds reached us in prime order. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state ; nevertheless, previous rates were sup ported. The best Downs sold at 6s per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was limited —moved off steadily at full quotations—viz., from 4s 4i:l_to 5s Gd per Sibs.

To-day there were only 13 charges and 14 prisoners from the K division, and one only from the H division. They consisted principally of drunk and incapable charges, which Mr. Partridge dis posed of in a few minutes. There was one Scotchman, named Alexander Ridley, stoker on board the ship Berwick, charged with an assault, and he was discharged for the want of a prosecutor. Ridley was the only native of the " land of the mountain and the flood" among the prisoners. Whatever may be the sins of the Scotch in their own native land on New Year's-day, it is certain that they are the most orderly of our population here. William Hyde, aged 24, of No. 5, White Horse-, court, White Horse-lane, Stepney, was charged with being drunk, disorderly, and using obscene language on Saturday afternoon in the Mile End-road. The case was proved by George Young, No. 429 K, and Mr. Partridge,, after, ob serving that the prisoner was a foul-mouthed blackguard, fined him 20s. A woman, named Caroline Hughes, the wife of a baker, was charged with adultery and robbery.

There is no change, however, to notice in the quotations, the market, as regards prices, being decidedly firm.

Mr. Beard, on the part of the Company, called witnesses to prove that upon a certain market-clay in September last, one of the plaintiff's 'busses was passing on its journey between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, through Whitechapel, where the roadway is very much impeded by the market carts and butchers' stalls. As the 'bus .arrived at a particular spot, a lad was seen to lead a horse And cart across the road. lie was called to, but without Sct, and the driver of the 'bus, who was going between ; and , seven miles an hour, tried to pull up. The lad be , pifilk3 alarmed and slipped down, the wheel of the cart pass ing over his leg and breaking it. his 'bus was torn out by the iron of the cart. Mr. Louis Lewis called witnesses for the 4:1( . . , show that the 'bus was going at between 110 and 12 wiles , lacer, _ LH to blame. The lad himself deposed that the plaiatiff's driver was going at such a rate that he could not pull up. Mr. Beard addressed the - jury upon all the evidence, and urged that it was not likely a 'bus could travel at the rate described through such a crowded thoroughfare as White chapel. His Honour, in summing up to the jury, said that if the plaintiff's driver had in any way contributed to the acci dent by his own negligence, then plaintiff could not re cover. If the boy had alone caused the accident, then the defendant must pay ; but if there were a clear road the lad had a perfect right to lead out the horse and cart, and plaintiff's driver was bound jo wait. If both sides had been guilty of negligence, then plaintiff quid not recover. The jury found for the plaintiff, but expressed a hope that the company would do something for the poor boy. Mr. Beard said he would lay the recommendation beforo his directors. Verdict for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. ... 4 .___ MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE FOREIGN PROSTITUTE NUISANCE.—TWO masculine French prostitutes, named Antoinette Lambin and Ea phrasie Regnier, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with disorderly conduct. Gordon, 133, 0, said that about half-past nine o'clock last night he saw the two prisoners and five other foreign prostitutes in Coventry-street, some of their bullies being with them. Ho watched the females for about a quarter of an hour, and during that time saw them stop and annoy six gentlemen. He managed to secure the prisoners and to take them to the station, but the others got away. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhit, Gordon said the prisoners had been in the habit of walking Coventry-street, with other women of their class, for a length of time. • Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for seven days each. BOW STREET. Sarah Wilderspin, a servant to Dir. Crosse, 20, Woburn square, was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with illegally concealing the birth of her infant child. The case was adjourned for the attendance of a young gentleman, a relative of the prisoner's master, who now stated that, on the 10th of December, he went to the door of the prisoner's sleeping-room as his breakfast was not ready, and no one was up in the house but himself. The prisoner said she was too ill to get up, and asked him to call Miss Welsby, the governess, and send her to her. He did so, and Miss Welsby went to her. _ _ Mr. Vaughan said he thought it his duty to remand the prisoner in order that he might hear the evidence of the witness who had attended that day. He was glad to say, however, that the additional testimony only confirmed the impression created in his mind on Saturday—viz., that there had been no concealment or secret disposition of the body of the child. The prisoner never denied that she was in the family-way, nor, as far as the evidence showed, did she endeavour to make any secret of it after her delivery. On the contrary, as soon as sho had an opportunity of communicating she sent for the only female in the house whose assistance could be made available. The medical evidence went to show that the birth was premature, and that the prisoner was in a state of extreme prostration, so much so that it was im possible for her to remove the body, nor did she appear to have made any effort to do so. Probably what had occurred was owing to the labour coming on suddenly, and to the prisoner being too weak to summon assistance. lie therefore should discharge her from custody. ' Leon Seneschal was placed at the bar, charged with stealing five brushes and a metal powder box, the property of his employer. The prosecutor, a brushmaker, said the prisoner had been in his employment for about four months, and a short time ago he left without assigning any reason. He went to his prisoner's lodgings in Lower Calthorpe-street, and there he found the property now produced. Although there was no private mark on either of the articles he could identify them as his property, although he admitted similar things were sold at a great many shops in London. The larger trunk he could speak to positively, as it had been laid aside in consequence of its being badly made. The reason he pressed the charge was that lie had lost a considerable amount of property. Since he had giveh the prisoner in custody he had discovered some other property, which ho suspected the prisoner had stolen. Mr. VaUghan committed the prisoner for trial, but after wards directed that he should be brought up again on that day week, when :the prosecutor would be in a position to proceed with the additional charge.

ROYAL DANISIt:-- • It is understood that the line is to be purchased by the. Prussian Government, which also purposes to construct . . DianFMß been general man ager o f th e above railway since 1854. On the outbreak of the late war in the Duchies his authority was rather summarily attempted to be set aside by Marshal Von Wrangel, the Prussian Generalissimo, who sought to obtain the entire command of the line for the transport of troops and war material. Mr Louth, however, firmly re fused to submit to this dictation, and threatened an appeal to the nearest British consul. Ile then offered to meet Marshal Wrangel's views as far as possible in regard to the transport of troops on the English company owning the line receiving payment for the service in the ordinary manner. To this proposal the Prussian commander, after some demur, agreed. The consequence was that the Eng lish company conveyed during the war men and stores for both Danes and Prussians, and the line sustained no in jury. During the continuance of hostilities the receipts were very considerably increased, but they have now fallen to their old level. VICTORIAN. The total franc receipts on the Victorian Government ailways from Jan. 1 to Sept. 22, 1864, amounted on 196 wiles of railway to X 351,388, and for the corresponding Nriod of 1863 to X 323,506, showing an increase of £27,882.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-011 Saturday morning, at the Bamber-bridge Station of the East Lancashire Railway, a guard of a goods train, named Rigby, received such injuries that he cannot survive. The train had stopped at the station, and he was uncoupling some of the carriages. He called out "all right" before he had loosened the coupling chains. The consequence was that the engine driver started the train, and Rigi - ty was knocked down, and one arm and both legs were run over by the carriages. The poor fellow admits that only himself was to blame for the sad occurrence.—Preston Chronicle. „ THE FROST IN CORNIVALL.—The frost of the past week has been more severe than has been known for many years. The thermometer for several night stood as low as 22 deg., and many of the pools in the neighbourhood of Penzance and Mount's Bay were frozen over, an occurrence very rare indeed in that genial neighbourhood. The water in the bay remained at 45 deg. for several days with scarcely any variation. The severity of the weather, however, has not prevented the general preparation for the early potato crop. Planting in shel tered nooks and in hot beds is being vigorously carried on, and the same remark applies to the planting of green peas.
