OP TEI DAILY saws.)
PARIS, TONSDAY Evaateo.
There) Las yet been no announcement of any fur-
ther Pr' ,longatio• of the legishitive session ; and,
although it is difficult to conceive how the remaining
busio ess can be got through this evening and to-
mer row, I incline to think that the members will be
die mined to their homes at the moment already
seirpointeeL Ois Saturday the railway bills (the Brit-
(tany and Grand Central) were not ready,
in consequence of a slight misunderstanding with
the companies about the collier des charges.
The house then adjourned to Tuesday (this day) it
being agreed that Easter Monday should be kept as
a holiday according to ancient parliamentary custom.
To-day the order-book is very crowded with reports
of committees on bills of importance (though not
perhaps likely to provoke much discussion). In the list
are the railway bills in question—the conventions
published in to-day's Mondeur requiring the ratifica-
tion of the Legislative body--and a bill for protect-
ing from piracy industrial inventions and designs in
msaufactures, exhibited at the Universal Exhibition
of 1853. There is not a word about the budget on
the order of the day. That which on • moderate
calculation wee thought to require at beat three clear
days' discussion must be got through to-morrow, or,
contrary to expectation and to the Emperor's system,
a second prolongation must be decreed at the last
moment.

At the Bourse pacific rumours were very prima-
lest. It wee said that an article would appear to-
morrow is the ifoniteur, giving an official sanction
to the proposition that the taking or destruction of
Sebastopol are mot necessary to the establishment of
a solid peace. The Rents rose 30c., closing at
701 r. 10c. There was no great change in railways,
but most of the lines were very firm.
A correspondence in the Independarace Belga
speaks of a TUITIOQZ that, among •&1101.1J plans under
discussion for changing the tactics of the allied
armies in the Crimea, it is contemplated to organise
at Kamieech, where we have already an impreg-
nable position, a garrison of from 20,000 to 25,000
picked men. Such a garrison,drawing all its provisions
from the sea, and supported by the fleets, might defy
the utmost efforts of the Russians to dislodge them.
The position would remain se a material guarantee
in the hands of the Allies until the end of the struggle,
and would, among other advantages, offer the immense
one of an effectual protection for the rest of the
army, should it be necessary to send it into Bessa-
rabia or elsewhere, in the execution of any stratege-
tics! combination. Without such protection, it would

be imposeible to remove the army by sea. The idea
proceeds upon the supposition that the impossibility
of taking and holding Sebastopol until we are
masters of the Crimea is pretty well ascertained. U
this be so, there may be some truth in the rumours
(fortified by puns) that one of the first operations of
the Crimean campaign of this summer will be the
" raising the siege" of Sebastopol.

The railway share market today is by
the heaviness of Consols, but the actual reduction in

993 to 3; Great Western, 65 to ; Midland, 693 to 3;
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 753 to 761 ; South-

The state of the Bank still occupies the painful
attention of commercial classes here; and Prinee
ltospigliosi, Count Pianciani, and Don Vincenzo
Colouoa, have been deputed by the shareholders to
throw themselves at the Pope's feet, and implore a
prorogation of the term granted for the withdrawing
of their surplus paper from circulation, so as to enable
the bank to resume its discount operations, and re-
lieve the merchants of the state from the merciless
claws of usurers. It is doubtful whether his Holi-
ness will consent to this measure, although he is
stated to be less averse to the separation of the
Branch Bank of Bologna, and the reformation of the
Bank Statute.

CITY PETTY SESSIONS.

At a petty serious bald at the Court of Chseen'a
Bench, Guildhall, on Saturday, William Garrott, an oil and
warehouseman, keeping • post.oilice in Tower-street,
was summoned by Mr. Morella, one of the inspectors of
weights and meesures for the City, before Alderman lion
ter, for having an unjust letter-balance and a weight unjest
and unstatuped.
Police-constable 664 said he wished to send a letter to his
brother, who is in the Crimea, and wok it to a post-oak* in
the Mi;ories, when be found it weighed just a quarter of an
oases. tie went home and rednesd the weight. Ind then
took it to the defendant's house, when the defendant de-
manded sizposee postage, as it was over weight. Witness
said it was not, for he bad previously weighed it in the
Minories, and had since reduced its weight ; to which de-
fendant replied, 'hat he had better take it there again. Wit-
ness took ,he letter to the post-olles in King Willians-etreet,
and there it was Considerably under &quarter titan ounce.
Mr. Harvard said he called and examined the seals, and
found it unjust. Re cautioned the defeatism to have it
adjusted, and called swats in a fortnight to see if it had
been done, end finding it still in the same state he sum-
moned the defendant.

The defendant admitted that the scale was unjust, and
the reams it had ant been adjusted was is consequence of
hie having bees hem ham 111.

Wane in the isles of the Danube are hang demo-

Rwsova are also being proceeded with. The troops
which were at Widdin and those which are at Sofia

The repetition of Wooer's Overture to Taanhauser' or

brity, which has sulked so mask cariosity, sad has bees
made the 'shiest of so mask criticism in this country. A
second hearing has sot changed the impression made on as
by the first. This overture is • composition so entirely in-
tention for the theatre, to serve or a prologue to • dramatic
work, that it is impossible to judge of its merits from merely
Irwin it in the mart room, where, indeed, it should not
be performed. To those who have sot the key to its design
it mast appear very obscure ; sad, considered simply es
music, it lacks, to oar ear, regularity of toms sad ewer
rhythmical melody. )(oatmeal's Overture to Chary Chaos
is every remarkable production. The tale of the

TURIN, Jens b.
in-chief of the ex-

A report from the
peditionary corps has this day reached the Minister
of War. It is dated Kadikoi, May 15, and describes
the tint participation of the Italian troops in the
Crimean campaign :
" My column, reinforced by two English batteries,
one regiment of Lancers, and one of mounted Chu-
Aeon, six hundred strong, and placed under my
elan, took the right in the order of march. At
Ina of day we arrived at the high ground of Ka-
mera. The sth battalion of Rifles was with the
English infantry, under the orders of General Sir
Cohn Campbell, marching on the heights that ex-
tend from the extreme right of the line that covers
Betakes.

"My troops met with no resistance. The Russian
outposts fell back before u, and some of their infan-
try battalions on the right bank of the Tchernaya
retreated gradually as, after crossing the stream, I
advanced with the English light cavalry, for the pur-
pose of reconnoitering the roads that lead to the
strongest Russian positions, and to the valley of
Balder.

„About noon I recrossed the Tohemaya, and occu-
pied with my two brigades the good positions of
Kamera. We overlooked the torrent, and we held a
height very near some Russian positions on my right,
being the position most in advance of those taken
up to-day. My troops, though not yet with their
fall complement, are within reach of the enemy.”

ART-CONTRIBUTIONS IN AID OF THE

PATRIOTIC FUND.

While few regret the termination of the chant con-
firmness of Vienna, all feel the mournful consequences of the
real efforts which us being made to bring the work of human
enmity and slaughter to an end. Want and deprivation of the
wonted neosmarise of life are not unfrequently linked with
mourning even in the families of those who perish in the sot
of commanding. This has occurred to so great an 'Runt
since the eommencement of the war that the Royal Commis•

goners of the Patriotic Fond have been sorely pressed
by claims for relief, which they were prevented granting
owing to the overwhelming claims from more humble
app.icanta—the widows and orphans of private soldiers. In
such trying circumstances the establishing of the " Art-
Contribution Association," for the relief of necessitous
widows and orphans of alit:en who fell in this war has been
hailed as a Godsend, We have, from time to time, chronicled
with much pleasure the more important incidents connected
with the progress of this association. The sums which
the committee have distributed since they oommeaced their
benevolent work, a few short weeks bark, amount to 3,2301.
A further large sum has accumulated in the hands of the
committee. Numerous drawings have lately been contd.
bated, eight of which have been given by the Rev. B. C.
Malan, whose productions evince artistic feeling and skill of
a very high order. On Saturday lest, 1,393 visitors paid for
admission. The band of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue)
volunteered their services on the occasion. We are glad to
be able to state that the specious and well adorned suite of
rooms in Barlington House are daily well attended, for
there is unhappily a loud cell and a wide field for the exer-
cise of sash benevolence as that which the committee of this
associations are appealing to. To-day the bind of her
lielesty's 2nd Life Guards, from Windsor, will enliven
the scene with their martial strains, giving their services in
aid of t►is truly patriotic cause.
