rARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The senatus contultuna for the re-establishment of
the empire leaves in the dark a great many points
which were settled by that which erected the impe-
rial government in ISO!, and is distinguishable from
it in many particulars. '1 he Senate, whose task it
was to transform the consul into an emperor, fixed
at the same time the amount of his civil list and the
allowances to be made by the state to his family.
The civil list was 21 millions of francs, the same as
that of Louis XVI , and the imperial princes were

civil list, and the position of the imperial family is
left to be defined by at future act of the Senate. Art. 6
gives to Louis Napoleon power over the members of
his family in terms much more absolute than his uncle
thought fit to demand. lie is to have" full authority"
over them, and his decrees relating to them are to
have the force of law. Napoleou I. was merely en-
abled " to regulate by statutes to which his successors
were to conform, the duties of members of the
imperial family of both sexes towards the
Emperor." A curious difference, in point of
form, is worth noticing. In the old mantas con-
sultant, it was declared that the government of the
" republic" was confided to an Emperor of the French.
Now, nothing is said about the republic. The "em-
pire" is simply re-established. In Ibo 4 the following
form of oath was prescribed to be taken by Napoleon
I.: "I swear to maintain the integrity of the terri-
tory of the republ c; to respect, and cause to be re.
spected, the laws of the cuneunlut and of liberty of
worship ; to respect, and cause to be respected,
equality of rights, civil and political liberty,
the irrevocability of the national property,
to levy no tax, and to establish no tax,
except by virtue of a law ; to maintain the
institution of the Legion of Honour, and to govern
in the sole view of the interest, happiness, and glare
of the French people." Louis Napoleon, although
he thinks oaths very good things to impose upon hit
subjects and Abd-el-Kuder, has too tender a coa-
science to think of encumbering himself with
another. In the 'omens consultant of itiot the fol-
lowing dignitaries of the empire were created. A
grand elector, an arehchaneillor of the empire. an
archchancellor of the state, a constable, and a grand
admiral, with salaries of tkffi,ooofr. each. Most of
these had deputies with large salaries. Nothing is
said in the present &wain, constant's of any of these
offices, but it must not, therefore, be taken for
granted that they, or something arulogous to them,
will not be established. Indeed, I have heard only
to-day that a promise has been made to Jerome to
make him Grand Admiral of France. as a compensa-
tion for the loss ut the presidency of the Senate.
Apropos of Jerome he has wisely determined not
to quarrel with his nephew. lie feels deeply
affronted by the resole:ion of the Senate, and he
showed his indignation by pets:sting in his
resignation of the presidency, and removing
from the Luxembourg in all haste. But he
accepts—outwardly at least—Louis Napoleon's as-
surances that the whole blame rests with the Senate.
It is determined to exhibit the imperial family to the
public es united in the bonds of the tenderest affec-
tion. For this reason, Jerome accompanied the
President at the: review at Ncuilly, and both
Jerome and his son Napoleon were to have been
present at the state performance at the Opera to-
rnique, which was put off in consequence of the
death of tho Prince do Leuehtenburg. If I ern
rightly informed, the President has renewed his
pmmise to Jerome, in the strongest possible manner,
that in caw he should leave no sots, he will exercise
the power conferred upon him of adopting an heir
to ta, our of Jerome's son Napoleon. This is, how-
ever, hut a poor consolation. to be dependent upon
a will is a very different thing from standing next in
succession in a settlement, and if Napoleon Bona-
parte's name had been incorporated in the itichi<ife
now about to be sanctioned by the people. his rem
tion would have been that of a far more importanl
personage than he now is. Although I hear it said
in ninny quarters that the Senate really thwarted
the Presidettes wishes in this matter, I cannot
br
lievo it. That body is prepared to execute any
orders that may be given to them, if given in such
terms as to show that obedience is expected.
A panic prevailed at the Bonnie yesterday. owing
to msg.:crated reports of a precautionary meter:
taken by the stock brokers to protect thymic !.,ri
against the coniicquatccs of the wild slktti on

it imartal,ly happens, the strong speculators had pro-
gted by the fears of the weak, and prices were up

Exchuti4e Committee had not made any new ;rule at
sll,but had merely intimated their intention of in-
sisting upon the observance of one muck in ISM,
which has been for some time practically disregarded.
According to this rule, which is now to be enforced
after the next account day, Ike. la, every stock-
broker must keep a numbered list of his clients. This
list is to be at all times open to the inspection of the
Byudical Cummitu c, wha. whenever they think any
account too heavy, may call upon the broker himself
to deposit 1.19 Cr. per share as a guarantee to the
" house." Thus the extent of confidence which the
broker may choose to repose in his client will be
left, at heretofore, to his own judgment. It is evi-
dent th.it a rule of this kind is not likely to be so
acted :upon as to impede legitimate business, and it
is to be feared that the rule will not materially check
the course of unsound speculation. The "yeas de elm nye

from the cmantay around Palls, old ladies in caps,
and "dames de la ladle" in jewels, all anxionaly
bent upon making their fortunes. The excitement
is so great that every one talks to his or her
wares: inighlnur, and loud lamentations are con-
tinually heard about golden opportunities lost, owing
to the fault of the broker. The burning fever of
political excitement which the government has for a
time effectually quelled, seems to have broken out in
• soother form. When the crash comes, the disap-
pointed seekers of riches by these irregular miens
nay perhaps be found fully as dangerous as the

In speaking of mining, the Placer Herald says:—
We learn that a number of mining companies on the
Placer side of the Middle Fork are doing extremely
well, and some of them making big strikes. The
Sub Marine Company, numbering thirteen men.
were averaging over 3,000 dela. per day at last
accounts, and have reached as high as j,OOO dole. in
in one day. The Macatee Company numbers three
men, and is averaging 3,000 dub. per week.
We understand that a number of the Franklin
Mining Company at French Gulch, Shasta county,
has written to a friend in the city, that some lucky
miners recently dug a piece of gold weighing fifteen
pounds and three ounces there recently, and that on
the same day a lump of pure gold weighing sixteen
ounces, was dug at the came place.
From the most liable source we learn that at White
Hoek, on Feather river, within the past ten days, the
White Rock Company, numbering twenty members,
have taken out of aCoifer-dam 22,000 dots.; the Smith
Company, numbering nine members, 14,000 dole.;
and the Jones Company, numbering five members,
during the past four weeks, 30,000 dots, All the
miners are reported as doing well.
A meeting of the citizens of Marysville was to be
held, for the purpose of considering the propriety of
taking action on the subject of building a railroad

The San Francisco Union says there is now on
exhibition at the banking house of Mills, jowir-end,
and Co., a lump of gold, recently taken out at
Downieville, which is one of the largest and hand-
somest ever found in California. This splendid spe-
cimen is nearly pure, and weighs two hundred and
four ounces and three dollars. The same firm have
also another lump, perfectly pure, which weighs
500 dollars, dug near the same spot as the above.
The accounts from every portion of the mining
region are cheering. In none of the river diggings
do we hear complaints of failure, as in 18-19. The
same bars that are now being flumed were then
worked by thousands damming them, and in most
cases without success. The change would seem to
be necessarily owing to the present improved methods
of working.

little attention. Unfavourable rumours were circu-

are deserving of attention. Bemuse was not

Business in the foreign bond market is pretty
equally distributed over the various money stocks,
there being little speculation. Mexican bonds
opened firm, bat closed only 23 to ,t. Turkish scrip
was decidedly firmer, being last done at 21 prem.,
and leaving off 2to 21 prem. This rally is in a con-
siderable measure due to the notice issued by Messrs.
C. Devaux and Co., in which they state that, so soon
as they have got through their Paris business in con-
nexion with the loan, they will call a meeting of the
scripholders, at which every information may be
had, and a committee appointed for the protection of
the holders. This is certainly a step that must be
taken, and will tend considerably. to restore confi-
dence. To-day's list of sales is as follows :

with 48,000 ounces of gold from Adelaide. The
value of this import is about 192,000!.
There has been a rise in the price of gold at Paris
within the last day or two. The present price is 23
le 3 prem. per mills. English sovereigns are worth
111. 20c. to 23e. The exchange at short on London
is quoted 23.171.
A considerable feature of the stock exchange busi-
es. to-day was a most severe fall in French shares.
TM market for these securities was in a most excited
state throughout the day, fluctuations of large
amount and succeeding each other with extraordi-
nary rapidity. This movement was in continuation
of the panic on the Paris bourse yesterday,
which was ocessiosed by the issue of a
notice by the agens de change that they
will require additional security from their clients
in future before they will consent to do busi-
ness for them. This resolution, directed so evidently
against the vast number of time-bargain speculators
in French shares, has produced a strong effect, as its
direct consequence must be a reduction in the num-
ber of buyers, the weaker "bulls" being compelled
to suspend operations. Realisations, with a view to
avoiding the enormous rates lately paid for carrying
over, must thus be rendered necessary, and conse-
quently a large proportion of the supporters of the
market will be withdrawn. The measure is one
that the ages. cannot be blamed for adopting, as
they have of course a perfect right to protect them-
selves, and any sudden reaction in the
market, looking at the wide ramification of
the spirit of speculation in Paris, would other-
wise have exposed them to the risk of heavy loss,
consequent upon the default of their principals. The
step in question, moreover, is merely the revival of
an old statute. The check thus. given will probably
prove a very salutary one, as it will throw a damp
to a considerable extent upon the gambling spirit
that has lately become so rife on the bourne; but
additional anxiety has been excited amongst parties
interested, owing to its beiog surmised that the
arms de change are expecting a reaction in the mar-
ket, and preparing themselves for it in season. It is '
also understood that the regulation is to apply, with
esstain modifications, to the dealings in Rentes. The
wet and succeeding settlement on the Paris bourse
will be regarded with a good deal of interest. Here
8001 e. large " bull" accounts were sold out in the
course of the day, and upon this operation
Ming completed, there was a partial rally. It
is believed, however, that the "house," which is a
Meer by the French share speculation, has done its
beet to keep down the market. It may be of interest
to quote the last after-hour prices, which stand thus:
Northern of France, 331 to 1; Strasbourg, 341 to
53; Beziers and Graissessac, 13 to 1 prem.; Bor-
