PARIS, Famsr
In the Senate yesterday the Marquis de Boissy,
for the first time, made a proposition which was
unanimously assented to, and made a speech with-
out coming into collision with M. Troplong. He
complained that a debate in the Senate had not
been reported in the Moniteur the next day on the
unsatisfactory plea that the columns of the official
journal were crowded. Baron Lwow, one of the

secretaries said that he had remonstrated in the
proper quarter, and that such an omission would
not happen again.
The Marquis de Larochejaquelin then brought
on his promised motion, complaining of a
misconstruction of the Senate's address by M.
Ratazzi, but, although warmly supported by
President Barthe, he got no redress. M. Dupin
and M. Billault both remonstrated against the pre-
tension to drag the minister of a foreign power to
the bar of the Senate, and the order of the day
was voted—leaving the matter, therefore, just
where it was. _ _ .

The Bourse seemed to feel relief at the ter-
mination of the debates on the address, and was
more decidedly firm than it has been for a long
time. The Rents rose 35c. for cash, and 20c. for
account, closing at 69fr. 95c. and 70fr. 10c. Mobi-
lise rose Mr. 25e., and the Italian Loan 65c. The
Southern Railway rose 7fr. 50c., Lyons bfr., and
Northern lfr. 25c. Orleans and Eastern fell
2fr. 50e. each.
It is the policy of the government, while
maintaining all the harsh and harassing laws
of its own ingenious invention against the
press, to show some indulgence in the admi-
nistration of them, so that they may not
be altogether intolerable. The mercy vouch-
safed is of a kind which I remember to have seen
illustrated on Woolwich Common one very hot
day, when a company of soldiers was under-
going punishment drill. The men, panting under
the weight of their muskets and knapsacks, were
doing double time unnecessarily fast, hoping, poor
fellows, to get their troubles over sooner. But
the drill-sergeant said to them, "Take it easy,
men—do it so as ye can continee for a long while."
Precisely on this principle the Courier du
Dimonche, which was almost at the last gasp,
has been relieved just sufficiently to allow it to
continee. M. Genies°, the editor, M. Dubuisson,
the printer, and IL Eugene Pelletan, one of the
principal writers, are all in prison, and M. Laurent
Lapp, the manager, was doomed to incarceration
this week. Under such circumstances it was
thought next to impossible that the paper could
come out to-morrow. But the paternal govern-
ment, which means to chasten and dispirit, but
not to kill, has kindly informed M. Lapp that his
imprisonment shall be respited for a month, and
that even when he goes to gaol he shall have the
privilege of revising proofs and signing articles.
The Journal de 14Ni/ere states that a disturbance

occurred two days since at the ironworks of Ls
Machine, near Nevers. It appears that the work-
men were dissatisfied with their wages, and also
entertained a great dislike to one of the sub-
directors of the establishment, who was so alarmed
by their threatening attitude that he took to tight.
As soon as the authorities were informed of the
state of affairs, the prefect of the Nitivre and the
general commanding in the district were soon on the
spot, at the head of a strong detachment of troops.
The ringleaders of the disturbance were immedi-
ately arrested, and sent to the prison at Nevers.
The rest of the workmen, in obedience to the re-
commendation of the prefect, then separated
quietly, and returned to their homes.

The customs revenue in Tasmania, in 1858, was
134,5001. ; is 1859, 133,3001.; is 1880, 117.5101.; la 1861,
111.3461. The falling off I chiefly is spirits sad tobeoso.
