PARIS, SATURDAY EVICTING.

I must draw largely upon the character for vera-
city which I hope I have established with you to
obtain credence for the following statement. The
Pattie, on* of the most important journals in
France, affirms, in • conspicuous paragraph, that
Professor Partridge, as soon as he obtained an
interview with Garibaldi, handed to him a sum of
6,0001, sterling, not as the amount of a public sub-
scription, but as an offering from Lord Palmerston,
who sent him the money by way of testifying the
sympathy of the English people for his enter-
prise against Rome. The same journal, which
DOW thus condescends to particulars, stated yester-
day, in a pascal way, that Professor Partridge's
medical mission was merely a pretext, and that he
was in reality • political agent of Lord Palmerston
sent to earwig Garibaldi on the part of that ever-
meddling and mischievous minister. These ultra-
absurd canards are believed in Imperial France,
which has invented laws of unheard of severity
against " false news."
The Fihnclf government, which bat lately was
disposed to permit the representation is Paris of a
drama founded upon Lea Misetrables, provided that
several alterations suggested by the censors were
made, has now definitively put its veto upon the
performance. This measure is, I suppose, an act
of retaliation upon M. Victor Hugo's speech at
Brussels. The censors shrunk from the odium of
the decision, and made an open report to the
Minister of State. But Count Walewski has not
only decided that the most succensfulFrench works
of any living author shall not appear upon the
French stage in any form whatever, but that the
authors of the next Christmas pieces are to be
warned thus early that not the slightest allusion
to the Mia4rabies will be tolerated.

Marshal Castellano) was buried to-day at Lyons
with great pomp, his expressed wishes that his funeral
should be oonducted privately not being complied
with. He was carried to the grave by four-and-
twenty non-commissioned officers, all of whom had
obtained the legion of honour or military medals.
Among the anecdotes told of the late Marshal,
who was for 68 years a soldier, I select two, which
may possibly be true, although told by French
newspapers, with whom truth is at a discount.
He is said to have expressed a desire in his will,
that the first private grenadier and the first private
dragoon in the garrison of Lyons dying after him
may be buried aide by side with him in his own.

The other story is this : Some time ago, while at
• review, a murderous shot was fired at the Marshal
from a regiment of Voltigeurs. He heard the
whistling of the ball near his head, and on taking
off his cap found that it had lodged in it. Without
saying a word to his staff he gallopped up to the
front of the regiment from which the shot pro-
oeeded, and cried out that if be knew the unlucky
dog who was such a bad shot he would certainly
give him a week in the guardhouse. Then turning
to his staff he said, " What do you think of this?
fellow in a crack corps who misses his man at
thirty yards; certainly he ought to be broke." The
Marshal would never allow any inquiry to be made
into this attempt upon his life ; but he resented it
' against the whole corps of Vultigeurs, by never al-
lowing any one of them to mount guard at his
quarters.
It is said that the new boulevard, Prince Eugbne,
cannot be ready for inauguration before Nov. 15.
At the terminus around the Place du Tr6ne it is
intended to construct a colonnade which will bear
some resemblance to St. Peter's Place in Rome.

The Bourse continues to be wonderfully firm,
considering the ticklish state of European politics.
