this dawning several arrests have been
made in the Faubourg St. Denis. It is thought that
the government will feel it necessary to go back to
the old tariff, and continue. at whatever saorifiee, to
make up the difference to the baker,. There is a
talk of a project for an additional centime on several
indirect texts to provide a fund for this purpose. I un-
derstand that the Emperor has solicited M. Rothschild
and M. Foreleg to buy corn abroad. It is very pro-
bable that a premium on imports will be offered, not-
withstanding the manifest objections to such an
expedient. It is much to be regretted that the
official journals, faithful to the system of always giving
good news, persisted during the early part of the
summer in asserting that the harvest was abundant,
and thereby did their utmost to prevent commerce
from taking measures in good time to supply the de-
ficiency which is now admitted. Attention is
directed at present to the hard wheat of Algeria,
which has not hitherto been used for making bread
in France, but which it is said may be had in suffi-
cient quantities to be a valuable resource. A speci-
men of bread made from this wheat is exhibited is
the gallery of cheap products just opened at the Uni-
versal Exhibition. The prospectus states that the
loaf costs 9 centimes less thaa one made from ordi-
nary corn.

A serious accident occurred this morning on the
Rouen railway. The official account says that at
half-past four this morning, while the train No. 38
was stopping at the Maisons station, the mail train
ifrom Havre, No. 38, which stops also at that station,
came up, and "on account of the slippery state of the
rails," was not able to stop in time, although the
proper signals were displayed. The engine of the
latter train, it is added, struck the last carriage of
the first, and some passengers received contu-
sions, happily not serious. This is probably the
first time that the slippery state of the rails
has been put forward as an excuse for an accident of
this description. A passenger, who gives his name,
and address (M. Fieveo, Chemise° d'Autin, No. 8),
write* to the Press* that the collision took place in
the station, under the eyes of the railway officers,
and seemed to him wholly without excuse. He adds
that forty persons, several of whom were ladies,
received wounds and contusions, and complains that
at a station so near to Paris there was not even water
to wash their wounds. Fortunately there were in
one of the trains two medical men, who offered their
services.

The Bonne opened very heavily, the Rents, being
quoted 300. lower than on Saturday ; but in the after-
noon there was a indult upward movement, oa the
strength of a report that General Liprandi had sur-
rendered. I have heard nothing authentic to confirm
this news:up to the hour at which I write. Another
rumour, which I believe to be a canard. was that the
Bing of Prussia was dead. The Rents recovered for'
the close to yesterday's price, 136 tr. 90c. Credit
Mobilier rose 20fr., and Austrian railways lbfr.
French railways were generally lower.

I believe the Bank of France will not raise its rate
of discoant for :be moment.

General Bares Fabvier, formerly peer of France,
and afterwards member of the Legislative Assembly,
expired on Saturday, at his residence in Paris. He
was in his 73rd year.
The war battalionsof the llth and 31st Regiments,
six to all, from the camp of St. Omer, have within
the last three days passed through Paris oa their
way to Marseilles, to embark for the East. The
troops presented a tine appearance, and, in addition to
their campaigning kit, carried tents and siege
tools.

The Bret number of the Litre Recherche, a review
conducted by M. Pascal-Duprat, late member of the
National Assemblies of France and ex-editor of the
Revue halipesulante, has just appeared at Brussels.
It is now stated that the Emperor Alexander has
given up the idea of visiting Moscow and Warsaw.
There is no troth in the report that General Can-
robert is to replace Marshal Vaillant as Minister of
War.

M. de Bourqueney will not go on leave of absence.
