PARIS, SATURDAY ETINDIC.

At the time of Marshal Pelliasier's death it was
very generally rumoured that the opportunity
would be taken to effect a great change in the
administration of Algeria. Tbis morning's Moni-
teur publishes a report from Marshal Randon,
Minister of War, followed by a decree which indeed
modifies the administration, but in a 'tense the very

*apatite of what was expected. The three provinces
are still to be divided into civil and military terri-
tory, but these limits are to be fixed anew. The
general commanding each province is, under the
governor-general, the highest authority. The
prefect and all civil officers are placed under his
orders ; the press is at his mercy, and all civil patron-
age at his disposal. Councils-general are established
for each province, of which the general,
not the prefect, is president. By these
measures the African colony is, in fact,
formed into three pachalics under a goveinor-
general, and as in the Turkish administration which
once held sway here, all authority emanates from
and is subordinate to the military pacha. No
doubt the dualism of power which the minister
complains of is effectually cured by these measures.
Unity of views will produce unity ofaetion ; a mili-
tary government may be more successful than a
civil or mixed one in suppressing revolt ; but it
may be questioned how far the commercial and in-
dustrial interests of the colonists will gain by them.
But the great national interest of France is con-
sulted, that of her gallant defenders, who think
themselves entitled to batten on the terra triumphis
dices which they have fought and bled for.
The Emperor yesterday notified the Suez Canal
Company of the tenor of his decision in the arbi-
trage offered him by the Viceroy of Egypt and its
directors, but up to the present time the nature of
the decision has not been made public.
King Leopold, whatever may be his political pre-
occupations, is taking the regular course of waters
at Vichy, where be has been received with all the
attentions due to his reputation as well as his rank.
He has already received M. Drouyn de Lhuys,
whose stay is prolonged to Monday, making it pro-
bable that he expects to have at least one other
audience. A laughable mistake was committed by
the Afoniteur a couple of days ago, greatly to M.
Boudet's confusion. It was announced in the
official paper that M. Drouyu bad gone to confer
with the Emperor, an expression only used between
equals. M. Boudet knows less of these sorts of
etiquette than his Majesty, who would not relish
the expression.
Prince Napoleon has been for some time engaged
on a history of the House of Bonaparte, twhich Le
traces to the 15th century. It is to appear in the
beginning of January next. If as cleverly written
as his speeches be may prove a dangerous literary
rival to the historian of Comer.

The Bourse, very dull and feeble, closed with a
fall of 5 centimes on account, which is principally
ascribed to the unfavourable news regarding the
English money market, but is probably also due to
the certainty of large demands on the Bank here
before long for purchases of silk.
M. Minis, who has not yet reached the end of his
trials or his lawsuits, had a meeting of the share-
holders of his old company a few days ago in the
Cirque de l'lmpiratrice. He was received by the
immense assemblage with the favour which, not-
withstanding his reverses, the very men whom they
ritlected have never withheld from him. He drew
tears as well as applause from his audience, when
he read a letter from his daughter, the widow of
the Prince de Poligoac, who died about a year ago,
in which she promises to expend the last franc of
her fortune to aid him in defending his honour,
and the interests of his shareholders.

ELEVATION OF A NATIVI TO THE BENCH or THE
BOMBAY Mon Ootrarr.—lt is with muoh pleasure that we
(Timer of India) are able at last to announce the elevation
to the beech of the Fligh Court of Bombay of a native of
this presidency. His Excellency the Governor has appointed
Rao Babadoor Junardhun Wanoodeviee, the minor prin-
cipal Rudder Ammo of the presidency, and an able lawyer,
to act as a jadee of the High Court during the abloom is
Europe of the Hen. Kinloch Forbes. The Hon. Mr. Justice
Junardhun Warnoodevjee is a man of long and large ex-
perience both in the political and judicial brioches of
the public service. His reports as bead assistant
secretary to government in the political department cow-
maaded the admiratiot of the India-house in days put ; and
his judicial decisions is very imparter,* mere have more !s-
-aintly commanded the edmiratiou and commendation of bee
Majesty's Privy Council. The elevation of snob a man to
the bench of the High Court will be of great advantage to
the public administration of justice, by the con-
fidence of the people in our highest court of judisaaara ; sad
such appointments must add reel strength to the go-
vernment, by increasing the confider= of the people is
