PARIS, FRIDAY EVININO.

The insertion in the Mersitsur of the earliest tele-
I graphic abstract of the King of Prussia's speech,
instead of voids& as is the more usual practice, until
the entire text can be given in an official form, is
considered by many people as an intimation that the
French Emperor is not indisposed to take offence at
the decidedly unfriendly answer which his Prussian
Majesty makes to the Imperial speech delivered at
the Palais de l'lndastrie. Napoleon 111. called upon
the nations of Europe to say who was right and who
was wrong in the present war. The King of Prussia
distinctly says he won't, but will maintain his neutral
and is independent" attitude and wait for events.
The Bourse opened with very great animation.
The options (reponse des primes) were made at
681 r. 20c., and nearly all the premiums were accepted
by the buyers. When the operation was over
there was, however,a sensible reaction, and the Rente
closed for money at 66fr. 10c., with a rise of only
5c., while for account it fell 10c. Credit Mobilier
was in extraordinary demand, and rose 40fr. It ap-
petite that the treaty between this powerful society
and the company of the St. Rambert and Grenoble
Railway has been signed, and that the mults are
likely to be much more important than the public
has hitherto supposed. Branch railways are, it is
said, to be made from Grenoble to Lyons, from Gre-
noble to St. Etienne, thus communicating with
the Grand Central and that from St. Rambert.
A new line to Chambery and Turin will be
joined to another line of junction with the railway
from Venice to Trieste. Messrs. &helm and Sena,
Directors of the Credit Mobilier, are the concession-
aires of the Trieste line, and thus the influence of the
Credit Mobilise in that undertaking will be extensive,
and direct. Railways were again higher, the rise
being generally from 2fr. 50c. to 6fr., and in one or
two instanoes 10fr.

The bkoonthly to on butchers' meat is published

to-day. Thera ce a diminution as compared with
that of the kat fortnight, of 4c., tio., 1110.,11c., and 10c.,

and of No. upon cow sad bull beef.
The Petry, adopting, as cooling from a good source,
a statement in the Emancipation totally opposed to
the tenor of all the latest news from the Crimea,
nays it is not the intention of the Allies to destroy
Sebastopol, and that all the preparations that have
been made. apparently with that view, are but mili-
tary precentions against certain eventualities.
Viscount and Viscountess Canning, accompanied
by Lord de Tabley and Mr. Alexander, have arrived
at Paris on the way to India.
The Xing of Sardinia has conferred the Grand
Cross of the Order of Saint Maurice and Saint
Lannon the Archbishop of Paris. '

frit OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA AND CHINA.

We havelleaived our advice. in anticipation of the
Overland Mail. The dates are—Calcutta, Oct. 22;
Bombay, Nov. 2; Hong Kong, Oct. 16; Canton, 12;
Shanghai, 8.
The following is from the summary of the Bombay
lYntes of Nov. 2 :

" The Banthal Insurrection seems once more to
have blazed up spin. On the 9th of October, Vol.
Burney's force, six hundred and fifty in all, marched
from Bootie, leaving sixty men to guard the station.
They reached *thorned Bazaar at midnight, where
they were joined by a reinforcement of two hundred
sepoys, with a body of police. The rebels of whom
they were in quest, and who were a thousand strong,
fled on their approach, and could not be overtake..
The troops divided themselves into companies, and set
fire to and destroyed the villagesof the iosurgen ta in all
directions to the extent of above thirty, and conti-
nued thus occupied for the next three days, collect-
tog large quantities of plunder. On the 15th a con-
siderable body of Senthals attacked a detachment of
the 63rd under Captain Phillips at Karown. To
their discharges of arrows the sepoys replied with
volleys of musketry. For more than half an hour
the enemy kept their ground, and not till yearly 300
had been put hors ds combat, of whom sixty-three
were killed, did they betake themselves to flight.
Meantime the detachments of Captain Pester at
Nails and Lieut. Bonham at Jamtarra are clearing
the country in these directions; but though half
dozens are every here and there being shot, and
mores are being made prisoners, and though there
seems scarcely any co-operation or mutual under-
standing amongst them, vast multitudes still keep
the field. The electric telegraph from Calcutta of
the 30th ultimo mentions a large body of them as
having been surprised about the 25th near the village
of Umparalla. Their leader was very nearly shot,
but his followers managed to make their escape.
"No disturbances have been reported during the
past fortnight either on the north-west frontier or in
the Nizards dominions, the two great seats of perma-
nent disquietude. The troubles of Oude seem thick-
ening and the crisis of annexation hurrying on. Thal
British dominions throughout are tranquil. Recent
tails of rain in various parts of the country have
somewhat mitigated the apprehensions of famine. The
cold weather has set in in Bombay. The Governor
General has left the hills and is on his way to Madras.
whence he will proceed to Burnish, and return to
Calcutta about the Ist of Deoember.—Peace continues
to prevail in British Burnish. The Embassy had been
duly received at Ava. The official audience was
granted on the 13th September. Lord Harris returned
to Madras on the 22nd ultimo, and Lord Elphiostone,
after a short sojourn at Matheran, returned to the
presidency two days ago.—Little or no business is
being done in our market, and freights remain low."
