PAWS, THOZSDAY EVIIIING.

The long-expected reception of M. Dufaure at
the French Academy took plaoe to-day. It is need-
less to say that the hall of the institute was as full
as it could be possibly crammed on the occasion,
and that, as usual, the majority of the audience
was composed of the most fashionable ladies of the
Faubourg St. Germain. M. Dufaure was intro-
duced by M. de Montalemberk Among the acade-
micians present were MM. Guizot, Thiers, Ber-
ryer, de Beaumont, the Duke de Broglie, Albert de
Broglie, Dupin (aintg), Flourens, Villemain, and M.
Patin, whose task it was to reply to the speech of
the new member. That speech, which it has
taken months to compose, extends over many
columns of the evening papers. It may be almost
described as an epitome of the history of France
from the revolution to the present time. The long
life of Duke Pasquier, to whose seat in the Aca-
demy K Dufaure has succeeded, and the invariable
custom that the speech of the new member shall
be a eulogium of his predecessor, gave K Dufaure
the opportunity for travelling over this immense
extent of ground. He could scarcely follow step
by step the public career of Duke Pasquier without
referring to every leading political event from 1789
to the foundation of the empire of Napoleon 111.
News comes from Turin that Italy has lost one
of her rising statesmen, upon whose future career
great hopes were founded : M. Parini died almost
suddenly two or three days ago. He was a Vene-
tian, a personal friend of Menlo, and the repre-
sentative of his government in Paris. He was
elected to the first Italian parliament, and took an
important part in all financial discussions. Under
Baron Ricasoli's ministry he came to Paris on a
special mission to conclude with the French govern-
ment the treaty relative to the piercing of Mount
Canis.

The announcement in the Monikur that the
Archduke Maximilian will leave for Mexico on
Sunday, although it seems surprising that he
should be able to start so soon, considering that
the affair of the loan is all unsettled, produced
some firmness at the Bourse. Rents rose 10c.
both for cash and account, closing at 65k. 90c.
and 66fr. 10c. Mobilier rose 3fr. 75c. The money
article of the Please says that the figure of the
forthcoming dividend of the Credit Mobilier is a
subject of much discussion and doubt among specu-
lators. I have reason to believe that it is fixed at
100 fr., being 25fr. less than the last, which was
125 fr.
