Dr. Veron—the great Dr. Veron, the author of
the now famous phrase which leads both ways,
"devoted independence," or "independent de.
votedness"—ceases from this day to be the political
director of the Constitutimind, after the short reign

of two or three months. The press could have
"better spared a better man." He was so little in
the tight place as a journalist that every article
signed by him was esteemed a joke and a species of
miracle. Nevertheless, his wealth, his position as
a deputy, his pretensions to patronise the empire
on the strength of really valnable services rendered
at the time of the coup d'etat, and a certain frank-
ness of character which made it difficult for him to
bottle up a truth, however disagreeable to power,
placed him on a pedestal above the general fry of
hack writers. It is probable that he has been
dismissed for want of discretion and suppleness.
The Temps points out that the announcement in
the Constitutionne/ does not say that he has "re-

signed," but that he "ceases to be chargrd with
the direction." M. Paulin Limayrao remains
tvdocteur-en-chef, but the office of political director
remains vacant. I have no doubt that it win be
soon filled up by some presumed reliable man.
The news circulated by the Pays last
night, and repeated by the Constitutionod this
morning, that MM. Mason and Slidell were
released, being now considered incorrect, the
Bourse has been very heavy. Rents fell
10c. for cash, and 30c. for account, closing at 67fr.
60c. in each case. Mubilier fell 12fr. 50c., and
the Italian loan, 25c. The Orleans Railway fell
6fr. 25c. ; and Southern 10fr. The other lines
were only a little lower. . .

Two colossal equestrian statues, provisionally
modelled in plaster, have just been placed, facing
each other, at the extremities of the nave of the
Palace of Industry. The one at the end towards
the Place de la Concorde represents Francis I. in
the military costume of his time, crowned with
laurel, and holding a sceptre in his hand. The
statue at the other end represents Napoleon I. in a
Roman costume, also crowned with laurel, holding
• globe and cross in his right baud and the reins in
his left. These statues, both by Cletinger, will be
cast iu bronze, and are, it is said, to be placed in
the courts of the Louvre.
