EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom ova owl CORNMIPONDINT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVINING.
_ _

The Corps Legislatif sat to-day merely for the
purpose of registering unopposed elections, and
nothing important took place. It is calculated that
the formal business of the " verification of powers'
will last till about the 24th instant, and that the
discussions on the contested elections will occupy
fully three weeks. On this calculation there is
little chance of the debate on the address beginning
till after the new year holiday&
The "Yellow Book" will, it is said, be distri-
buted about the 20th instant. The Senate has a
good many petitions to dispose of, which may pro-
bably give occasion for some speeches between this
and Christmas ; but the upper house will certainly
not begin a debate on the address before the Corps
I Legislatif. Among the petitions on the tile is one
from Count Montalembert and M. St. Mare Girar-
din on behalf of Poland, and this, supposing it to
be brought in before the address, may possibly give
occasion for some smart speaking, more especklly
if it be true that the Pope has ordered all the car-
dinals in the Senate to advocate the Polish cause.

The opposition deputies had a meeting yesterday
at M. Thiene house, to consider what course they
would take on the verification of powers. It is
understood that, in conformity with the advice of
several legal members, it was unanimously decided
not to insist upon the disqualification of railway
directors. This is a remarkable concession, for the
Patric only last night argued at great length that
the " incompatibility " laid down by the act of
1849 not being "contrary" to the supreme consti-
tution, it is unrepealed and remains law to the
present day.

It was said some time since that M. Thies would
not make any speech before the debate on the ad-
dress, but, if that was his determination, he has
changed his miud, for he has now promised to
support M. Degouve Denuncques's petition against
the election for the Pas de Calais. M. Berryer is
expected to speak on behalf of M. Casimir Perien
who is believed to have • very strong case indeed,
and M. Marie will argue the petition of the Mar-
quis de Mornay.

Yesterday Prince Napoleon and the Princess
Clotilde met pith an accident ea they were returning
from a hunting party in the forest of Mention.
When opposite the Pont de l'Alma their carriage
came into collision with the American railway
omnibus (on Mr. Train's principle) which run■
from the Place de la Concorde to &Ivrea. The
Prince has a slight contusion in the ribs, and 31.
Braniki, who was in attendance on him, received a
rather hard knock on the shoulder. The Princess
Clothilde was not hurt ; but the Prince's carriage
was so much injured that the party was obliged to
get out and go home in a hack cab. The postilion
who ran against the railway carriage must have
been singularly awkward, for the reed is very
broad, and there is no crowd near the Poet de

WINTER PROSPECTS IN IRELAND,--A correspond-
eat of Saunders, living near Belies, county kayo, writes a.
follows :—" I am afraid there is every prospect of the
country being in a very disturbed state this winter. ' White-
boo,' ander the new name of ' Steelbnys,' are already M a
state of organisation. sad patrol is bodies of from 100 to
200 nightly ou the roads between liallycestle. Rillala, sad
Crosamolince, stopping persons on the road, and forcibly
obliging them to take the oath of the society. Large bodies
of them frequently peas my gate. As vet they have com-
mitted no other direct outrage, but ciontlowd their opera-
tions to enlisting defaulting tenants to carry off their crops.
A lady whom I know had no less than fifty stacks of corn,
sad a quantity of bay, which was under lemurs, carried off
the ground daring night, in the space of two hours. An im-
mense ooccouree of Steelboys ' collected, with carts sod
horses, and swept off everytbiag in one fell swoop."
KILLED DT AN &EPROM TRAlN.—Shortly before
10 o'clock on Sunday night a shocking accident took place
at the Catford•bridge statioc of the Mil-Knot Railway. It
appose that a young man, IS years of age, named Frederick
Chola Drake, had taken a ticket to proemd to the Lady-
well station, Lewisham, where be resided, and bad to cram
the line of rails to await the arrival of the train. At this
time the express traia. which wee some minutes overdue,
came up, and before the unfortunate young roan bad time
to escape the engine struck him sod threw him with great
violence to a considerable distance. When picked up, one
of his legs was found to have been severed, mod his body
otherwise promoted each a mangled appearance as to leave
so doubt that death had been instestaneoas„ The deceased

test which bad been mutually agreed on between Mr. Love
and his workmen—that of having six tube weighed at each

SADLER'S WELLS.

A new four act drama, entitled Pure Gold, by
Kr. Waitlead Mantes, the author of A/1 PI Blake and the
pstrieisn's Daughter, was produced at this theatre lain
night with undoubted swam. Unlike Mr. Marston's chief
prodoctions, the play a mitten in prose. The basis of the
story, which is laid ia the first act, ia the somewhat hack-
neyed iocideut of widen of an innocent map noon strain
arenownwetial evidence.

The dialogue of the play is spirited, though not free
lens. • few vulgar bflatishes, aed time Wu:latices, after the
fins act, are interesting, though not altogether novel. Miss
Marriott, as the artist's daughter, though somewhat
=wooly in her appearance for the part, succeeded in
wiening the sympathies of her audience. Mr. liarstoa's
performaace of the artist was natural and pathetic. Mr
lidmund Phelps, sa Sir Gourd Face, performed the road sad

calls for the chief &Mora, sad a goal call for the author, who
bowed from a private box, marked the complete satisfactioe
of the audience with the new piece. As a literary produc-
tion, however, it ceo hardly rank as highly as Mr. Mantua's

The Ironsides does not participate in the attack.
The fire on Forts Johnson, Sumter, and Moultrie
was kept up, the Confederates replying re-
servedly.
The situation in Virginia is unchanged. The
repairs on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad are

on the 20th to march against Barnside's outpost.

publicans iu putting forth all the material power
of the country to secure success iu the war, but
that the democracy would add to the power of
force the influence of wise statesmanship and
the conciliation of Christian charity. He de-
nounced Vice-President Hamlin's statement that
the union as it was, and the constitution
as it is, could not be restored, as treason-
able, cowardly, and base. He would support the
administration in constitutional measures, but

the number of prisoners in Newpre is 177, and two in the
timer ;in the Debtors' prison 86, and seven in the infir-
mary and in the City prison at Holloway 342, and ewes
in the infirmary. The report was moosepanied with • cer-
tificate of the medical Aker as to the St condition of the
primmer.. Several gentlemen were sworn as broken, and
several were allowed as brokers. Mr. Alderman Phillips
suggested some more gentle and inoffensive mode
of putting the question to gentlemen who VIM admitted as
brokers than as to whether they have been in business and
unable to pay 20s. in the pound, sad he seggested
that it should be referred to a committee. The
Lord Mayor said it was quite imperative that the
question should be put, to ascertain whether a sun were
fit to be trusted with the business of any other
Mr. Alderman Gabriel did not object to the geestloa;it
was • very proper one—he only objected to the mode. Some
little discussion ensued as to the propriety or impropriety
of the question ; and Mr. Alderman Phillips ultbnatiely
withdrew We motion. Mr. Alderman Copeland asked
whether, is the event of the court coming to any resolution
to make • demonstration on the occasion of the marriage
of the Prince of Welds, the court have the power to
confer with the Court of Common Council as to the best
steps that should be taken. Mr. Alderman Sidney said it
was understood that it was to be a private wedrlino. The
Lord Mayor said he was then going to keep an appointment
with Sir George Grey, to hear what was to be done. 80010

CITY COURT OF SEWEB.S.

The Commissioners of Sewers held their weekly
meeting yesterday at OslldhalL Mr. Ds Jinn pre-
sided. A report was brought up from the Omani' Pur-
poses Committee upon the proposed duties and emoluments
of the examiner of gsa to be appointed order the Metropolis
Om Act, 1860, c. 27, and recommend* that the salary of
hint and his assistant should be 2004 a year. The report was
agreed to, and Dr. Abraham moved that Dr. Letheby, the
medical allow, should be appointed as examiner of gas,
which was seconded by Mr. Blakealey, sad the medical
oBoer was anusimonaly elected to fulAl the appointment.
Dr. Letheby then presented his weekly report of the
sanitary condition of the City, from which it appeared that
106 houses had been iuspected during the week, and a list
of 34 plains for sanitary improvement was submitted.
He likewise reported that the markets and slaughterhouses
in the City had been inspected, and the *Mom bad seized

diseased and 46811 n. were from animals that had died from
natural muses. It consisted of 22 sheep. 5 pigs, 16 quarters
of beef, and 6 joints. He submitted that two of the
cases should be referred to the solicitor with a view to
further roceedings. 64 births and 55 deaths had been
during the week. The mortality returns are
greatly below the average (65) for the corresponding period
of the last seven years. The number of deaths during the
last month has gradually decreased from 69 in the week to
55. This is a satisfactory indication of the state of the
public health. Last week, however, 26, or nearly
WE of the deaths, were among children of lees than
Ave years of age, and 10 were among old persons of 60 sad
upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows

MARYLEBONE

A case similar in all eweetial particulars to that reported
under the head off " Bow-street," was brought to the
notice of Mr. Yardley yesterday by Mr. Tubbs, assistant
overseer of Marylebone. the intended victim being an in-
mate of Marylelmee Workhouse. She wee lured into a

consented to accept the offer, and she was accordingly per.
mined to accompany :the girL On leaving the workhouse
they met a gentleman who stated that he was the
husband of the lady in Eaton-square, and that he
would take the young woman in his cab, and that

then made indecent proposals to her, but she kicked

then rushed to the street and returned to the workhouse.
It had been impossible to find say tram of the gentleman

SPIRITUALISM AND MAGIC IN PARIS.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Pust
writes:

" The spiritual Mr. Hume is again in Paris, followed, I
hear, by a crowd of impalpebles from the other wdtld. He
gave • secoacr at the Tuileries last week, when some
important communications were made by 'hue invisible
personages who can only come to us in the rapping
form. We have not much spiritual telegraphy going on in
Pula ; some few old ladies in society now and then
turn the tables, but the game is not popular, and no one
can make money or fame by it in this infidel city.
What we patronise here is the old-fashioned for.
tune-teller with the mystic cards and a generous
crossing of the hand with gold or silver. There is one M.
Edmond in Paris, who is said to gain 100,000 fr. yearly by
revealing the pest, present, and future.' His establish-
meet is the real thing. The astrologer is dressed in a black
velvet robe and cap, decorated with hieroglyphics, and gold
chains round his neck. Before him is a table on which he
spreads the astronomically illuminated card,. true
stream of daylight is allowed to light the chamber,
by darting through coloured glass. and falling on a
skull. A pleasing mysterious twilight prepares the
carious for M. Edmond's revelations. I suggested that
' soft music' should be added (ram an organ ; but
it appears the fortune-teller's time is too valuable, and the
music, however soft, might cause him not to be heard, and
then questions would be asked, and time thus inevitably
Lott, Besides, the present attractions produce financially
all that could be desired. Early in the morning and
throughout the day M. Edmond's rooms are crowded by the
young and the old of both sexes, and of all dames of society.
They are called in one after the other to the magician's
sanctum, and, having cut the cards, hear the worst and the
best told them in a rapid I:meths's-like voice. As everyone
asks for ' more,' M. FAmond is obliged often to declare
that his power of vision grows dim, and the picture of
the patient's (permit me to use the term patient) life
grows dim and empty, whereupon the door is opened, and
other customers enter. Some people take to it like a vice,
and go over and over again. They are mostly women, and
young women ; and often that class of human beings who,
from imprudence or idleness, haszitin: some trouble,
and believe eventually that ' will turn up' to
get them oat of it. M. Edmond ileitis his daily
work, he has to write his correspondence ' for abroad
People consult him from all parte of the world. M. Edmond
is • clever man, and no labourer in Paris works harder. He
might have been • Spurgeon, • Cumming, • Hume, •
Morison (of the pills), • Montalenthert, • Disraeli, or a
newspaper correspondent. Good beak to him, and long

AUSTRIA AND ITALY.

The Press of Vienna publishes a letter from
Vienna, stating that, in consequence of the pacific
relations now subsisting between Austria and
Piedmont, the communications between the two
countries has become much easier. The strict search
to which railway trains are subjected at Peschiera,
and which detains them two hours, is to be done
away with, and henceforth the eisa of the
Legations will be sufficient for entering Austria.
The other prescriptions concerning passengers
are also to be mitigated by degrees. The examina-
tion of passports at the various railway stations has
ceased, and passports are only required at Mantua
and Verona, and even this measure will soon cease,
and passports be produced at the frontier. Since
the Piedmontese government has ceased paying
subsidies to the Hungarian Legion, soldiers and
even officers from that legion are seen again return-
ing. Many of the latter have asked to be included
in the amnesty, and this favour has been granted
to several.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Margaret Connell, 27, Sarah Prancia,l9, John Lovell,
21, and John Power, 27, were charged with assault end
robbery upon John Rose.

of the town, and on the night of the 23rd of December he
had been to his club, Ladled enjoyed himself upon theme*.
'ion to such an extent that be admitted be was the worse
for the liquor he had imbibed. On his way home, accordieg
to his own statement, he was assailed b tour pemoos, two
men and two women, who shoved or knocked him down,
sod his pockets were then rifled, and he was robbed of a
portion of the money that was upon him. The prosecutor
was unable to speak to the identity of any of the prisoners
who were concerned in the alleged robbery, and although by
the evidence of other witnesses it was established that the
prisoners were neer the prosecutor, the case for the prose-
cution was not at all clearly made out.
The jury Acquitted the whole of the prisoner,.
(Before the Common Serjeant.)

Chat la Beier, 20, plaided guilty to • charge of forgery.
The Monier, it appeared, was in the service of Messrs.
Bell and Daldy, the publishers in Fleet-street, and he took
the opportunity afforded to him by his position to
tear out a blank cheque from the cheque-book of one
of the firm, which he 8:led up for 201., but it was dose
hi such &clumsy manner that it was at once detected to be
forgery.
The Common &wisest sentenced the prisoner to twelve
months hard labour.
