Had he lived to hear if. Billault's speech, he would have
admitted the falsity of his famous line. He would have
seen that on a question which, to use the words of the
address, "universally troubles minds and consciences," it was
possible for an eloquent orator to say yes sod
no on the same day, and to obtain a unani-
mous vote for his double thesis. The problem which
M. Billsult proposed to himself, both in the Senate and
the Corps Legiel►tif, was by no means an easy one. His
task was to bold the balance exactly even between " ob.
stinate refusals" and " impatient aspirations." Too much
blame for "obstinate refusals" would have pleased Italy,
but offended the clerical party. Too much blame for " im.
patient aspirations" might have discouraged them too
much. A little blame to each, no doubt, causes a little di.
satisfaction in each quarter, but it permits both to hope for
that help from Providence which It. Billault invoked in a
brilliant perovatioe, and certainly with great apropos, for
the decrees of Providence were sever more impenetrable
than they are Just now, with regard to this question.
It is a remarkable fact, as showing the progress
of the Roman question, that whereas last year the
catholic opposition mustered 90 votes against the
address, this year they only count 10 ; and yet the
address is palpably worse for the Pope than before,
since it studioualy avoids all mention of the tem-
poral power.
It is rumoured that the Emperor lately wrote an
autograph letter to Victor Emmanuel, complaining
of the Provvedimento Society, which Baron Ricasoli
resolved to tolerate, and declared. legal. M.
Retaui's threat to dissolve the society, which,
probably, he will not execute, is naturally attri-
buted to this letter. The Moniteur's bulletin to-
day speaks of the Provvedimento with displeasure.
The Bourse has somewhat recovered from the
shock of yesterday, and is tolerably firm, but with
little business doing. The Bente closed for cash at
yesterday's price, 69fr. 66c., and for account at
69fr. 75c., with a rise of 15c. Mobilier roae 7fr. 50c.,

and the Italian Loan 10c. The Orleans,Lyons, and
Southern and Western railways were from lfr. to
3fr. higher ; Eastern fell lfr. 25c. ; and in Western
there was no change. It is reported that the Bank
of France returns are favourable.

A sale of 35 horses of French breed, from the

Emperor's Versailles stud, took place to-day at the
Paris Tattersall's, and produced 80,000 fr., or nearly
1004 per horse on an average.

Lieutenant von Sobbe, of the Prussian army, who
was in prison in the fortrees of Glogau (Silesia), charged
with the murder of the waiter at an inn, has escaped, with
another officer implicated in the affair. It is stated that
the fugitives have sent a letter to the general commanding
at Glogau, in which they say that the long confinement and
suspense bad become unendurable to them. The letter is
said also to contain a justification of the breach of the parole
of honour they bad given not to leave the fortress except
accompanied by an officer. It is also stated that they had
been tried by a court-martial, but that the sentence had not
yet received the royal confirmation.
The Levant Herald of the sth says :—" Yester-
day his Majesty received the twelve mollahe who, sword-
Mg to immemorial custom, discuss religious questions with
and before his Majesty for several hours a day during the
first week of Rainaran, These venerable disputants are
specially chosen from the whole body of Mamas for this
function, and during the discharge of it they are admitted
to an entirely exceptional freedom of intercourse with their
august catechumen. During the lecture his Majesty sits
on a sofa, and immediately in front of him the twelve
teachers of the law squat on carpets on the floor. The
custom, it is said, dates back far into early Turkish history.°

The Italian feeling at Trieste runs extremely
high at the present moment. The Austrian officers are
altogether excluded from the houses of the townspeople.
A great sensation was created at one of the
Milanese fancy halls last week, by the appearance of two
new costrunes, "knickerbockers," copied from the Eoglish.
A black velvet coital and knickerbockers, red stockings,

superintendence.
" The Quartier Latin," says the Paris cone.
spondent of the Post, "no longer exists. The Rue St.
Jacques, the Rue Masson Sorbonne, sod all the narrow
streets that once formed this classic spot have disappeared.
New and majestic houses have risen where were once the
dingy shades of the students. There are no longer any et
those dark and gloomy cells where Alfonso and Jules were
tenderly watched over by their fair grisetten, who &fea
tioeately darned their stockings, divided the small portion
of cheeps' trotters which served them for their dinners, and
on Sunday,with all the finery that my uncle's store afforded,
waltzed away at the ball at Sceaux. The Quartier Latin,
Where once my careless boyhood strayed,' now boasts of
innumerable pensions, where scraggy dames yid,e in and do
for the student on such economic terms that his outward
appearance does not exhibit the gay, fuse, bold-faced con-
spirator, Pierre?'
