EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

RUMOURED ACCIDENT TO THE EMPEROR.
(nor 0171 OW 001811111POYDINT.)
PARIS. Funky EVRIFING.

The almost exclusive subject of conversation at
the Bourse to-day was an accident said to have
happened to the Emperor yesterday at Fontaine.
bleau. It is said that while rowing on the lake in
the pleasure grounds he fell into the water, and
that he received an accidental wound on the head
from a boat which pushed forward to pick him
up. Owing to the absurd laws against "false
news," none of the evening papers dared to
make the slightest allusion to this, which
is really the leading topic of the day. Were the
press free the truth would be sifted by this time,
and people would know the real importance of the
accident. As it is, dark rumours circulate, and the
natural organs of public information are mute. It
is to be presumed that the Emperor cannot have
been seriously injured, because it is announced
that he is coming to Paris fur a ministerial council
to-morrow. The knotty difficulty about M. Renan
is supposed to be the cause of his coming to Paris.
The Bourse was somewhat affected at the opening
by the news from the Fontainebleau lake, but ulti-
mately the Rente closed rather firmer than yester-
day. Mobilier, however, fell 2fr. 50c., and the
railways were sensibly lower.
The Court of Appeal has this day confirmed the
judgment of the civil tribunal which held to be
illegal,as a public meeting of more than 20 persons,
the electoral assemblage of M. Gamier Pages' friends
in M. Barthelemy's warehouse. M. Barthelemy has
lodged an appeal to the Court of Caseation. The
doubt about the law is much leas serious than the
doubt whether the imperial government, based on
universal suffrage, can expect to go on permanently
with a system which prevents the electors from
consulting together.
The Nation and the Temps are to be prosecuted
for publishing a letter from a juryman of the Haut
Rhin, stating the reasons which induced him to
vote for extenuating circumstances in the case of
the horrible assassin who stifled his mother in a
heap of cow dung. The prosecution is based upon
the assumption that the press has no right to vio-
late the secrecy of the jury-box.
The Paris Cricket Club has at length achieved •
triumph which redounds very much to its credit,
and also to that of its honorary secretary, Mr.
Sparks, the gentleman who took a leading part in
getting up the successful English amateur theatri-
cal performance in the Rue de la Tour d'Auvergne,
and whose perseverance under often discouraging
circumstances has most materially contributed to
the desirable object of fratproisation between the
two countries. The Paris club yesterday gained
the return match against the Warwickshire
Knickerbockers by the handsome advantage of
10 wickets.

Sir Henry Storks, late Lord High Commissioner
for the lonian Islands, has arrived in Paris on his
way to London.
