PARIS. THURSDAY RVLaNG.

It is very seriously thought that the death of M.
Bildault will cause some organic alteration in the
relations between the government and the cham-
bers. It is suggested that in consequence of this
idea the appointment of M. Rouher to be Minister
of State, while M. Vuitry, the governor of the
Bank of France, would succeed him as President of
the Council of State, which was spoken of yester-
day, is postponed. M. Baroche is now talked of
for Minister of State ; and he is, undoubtedly, the
best known man for the place. But just as the
Emperor fished out M. Duruy for Minister of
Public Instruction, he may very possibly
find some good speaker at the bar not
hitherto a political man, who may do his
work effectually. K Allon, an able advocate, who
did good service by winning the difficult cause
against Patterson Bonaparte, is one of this class.
However, the latest announcement is that, out of
respect to the memory of K Billault, the Emperor
will take no decision till after the funeral. MM.
Dnpin and Thouvenel have been sent for by tele-
graph. K Dupin, on account of his great age, can
only be wanted to be consulted as a Nestor. He
now seldom makes a speech even in the Court of
Cessation, except a written one, and the idea of his
being Minister of State or a talking orator is inad-
missible.

The I:Mats, in the following observations, offers
the opinion that Lord Russell's remonstrances with
the Germanic Diet will not prevent what is called
the " Federal execution " pronounced against Den-
mark, but that, at the same time, this much-dreaded
measure will produce no harmful consequences :

We most, however, remark that the Federal execution
is not in itself • declaration of war, and that it may follow
its course without leading to any serious conflict. Holstein,
baying by the treaties of 1815 been included in the Germanic
Confedration, does not place itself in a state of war by sending
troops there any more than the Federal Council of Switzerland
would do so if it pleased to place 5,003 men to-morrow in
garrison in the town of Zog. The Federal execution is,
properly speaking, only the sending of • strong garrison on
the territory of a member of the Confederation who would
be well pleased to dispense with it, or, to give a more exact
idea, it aan act similar to that accomplished by a prefect
when he places • bailiff in the house of • citizen who
neglects to pay his taxes. If Denmark accepts peaxeably,
sa it is probable she will, the bailiffs sent by the competent
authorities, the peace of Europe will not be disturbed ;
neither Denmark nor the Diet will go to war, and the
Scbleiwig•Holatein question will continue to follow its
course peaceably.

The Italian Opera opened for the season last
night, under the management of M. Bagier, who,
it may be remembered, was appointed to succeed
M. Calzado, deposed under painful circumstances.
It is a curious coincidence that M. Bigler, like
M. Calzado, came from Madrid ; but, unlike his
predecessor, he is a Frenchman. He was for a
time the impresario of the Madrid Opera, and the
reputation gained in that capacity recommended
him to the notice of the French government for
the suddenly-created vacancy at the Salle Vents-
dour. The Emperor had intended to patronise
the opening night of the season in person, but, as
announced by the Moniteur, be abstained in conse-
quence of the death of M. Billault. There was
nothing "sensational" either in the piece chosen
for the inauguration or the performance of
it. The opera was the hackneyed, and there-
fore popular work of Verdi, the Trariata.
Madame Anna de la Grange, well known in
London, and also formerly in Paris, was
the primd donna. Judging from the cold recep-
tion she met with from a house crowded to the
ceiling, it may be predicted that the Parisian public
will not endorse the ecstatic encomiums which have
lately been bestowed upon her talent by feuilleto-
nistes writing from Baden Baden, where she has
been singing this season. The dibtltant of the
evening was a tenor, called in the bills Signor
Nicolini, but who is in reality a Frenchman named
Nicolas. He is an extremely handsome young
man, a little like Mario in person, and somewhat,
though forego internale, in voice. The pleasing qua-
lity of his organ, notwithstanding its feebleness, was
greatly appreciated, and he fairly divided with the
veteran Della Sedie the sparing bravos of the
evening. The arrangements made by the new
manager for the personal comforts of subscribers
are deserving of all praise. The always pretty
theatre now looks better than ever it did in con-
sequence of new decorations. The lighting is very
much improved. But the great innovation of ail
is the revival of the old English " fops' alley" in
the pit. hay the pit, because that is what it really
is, although the name is abolished, and the whole
of the ground floor of the theatre is now called
"orchestra stalls ;" but down the middle of this
arena is • wide open space, which serves the
double purpose of • promenade, enabling visi-
tors to look round the house and talk
to their friends, and of a short and convenient cut
to a seat in the stalls. The management promises
that this space shall always and under all circum-
stances be kept open. If this promise be kept, and
the temptation resisted to put extra seats called
strapentilis in this alley on great occasions, the
slight augmentation of price in the orchestra stalls
will be well compensated.
The funeral of IL Billault will take place on
Saturday with great solemnity, and that of Mar-
shal d'Ornauo on Monday next. The body of the
former will be brought to Paris, and that of the
latter be placed this day at four o'clock in a Ma-
yas ardente in the church of Saint Louis des In-
valides. The Emperor has written an autograph
letter to Count Rodolphe d'Ornauo, son of the
Marshal, expressing regret and condolence.

The Union Bretons, in speaking of M. Billault's
death, says i
After the rheumatic pain' from which he had suffered so
severely, he was very nearly restored to health, although
still in pis, and he had determined to leave for Paris ua
the first flue day. Xdma de l► NouC, one of hie daughters,
had just bees at his bedside. sod given him some medicine.
She had scaroely turned sway when she heard a heavy sigh,
end going bank to the bedside to inquire the mama, totted
that life had departed.

" S," OF LIVERCOOI.—The New York Times
states that Mr. Spews, of Liverpool, has been removed—
" ignominiously dismiseed," are ita worth—from his poet of
Financial Agent of the Confederacy to Great Britain. We
have not remarked any intimation of this kind Is the
Southern papers, although the Richmond Zisquirrr says,
apropos of the promised abatement of slavery :—" Let nay
'agent' who dares to offer our honour for sale, or who basely
invites, or acquiesces in, or hints at, any possible negotiatings
to that sod, owe to be oar agent, or there will be a storm."

FUNERAL OF THE LATE ARCHBISHOP OF
DUBLIN.

The remains of the late lamented Richard
Whately, D.D., Archbishop of Dublin, were yesterday
morning removed from the Palen, Stephen's-men, for
interment in the vaults of Christ's-church Cathedral. The
time announced for the funeral to take place, according to
the programme, wee 10 o'clock ; but long previous to that
hour Stephen's-green and its vicinity were crowded with
spectators. The remains were enclosed in • snits of coffins,
the ioterior one being of highly-polished cedar, the middle
one of thick lead, and the outer of solid oak covered with
velvet, emblazoned at the quarter panel with burnished gold
betchments, the armorial bearings and the mitre of the
deceased prelate. The breastplate bore the following in-
scription :
" The Most Rev. Richard Mutely,
Lord Archbishop of Dublin,
Died, kith October, 18i;3,
Aged 76 years."
The chief mourners were—The Rev. Eiward Whately,
George Whetely, Esq., and the Rev. Mr. Pope (brother.
in-law of the lamented archblehop). The hearse, drawn by
four horses, was followed by nine mourning coaches.
At • quarter put 9 o'clock.
a
large
number of the
members of the Dublin Young Men's Christian Association
(United Church), amounting to several hundred; mumbled
at their room; and, preceded by several of the lay members
of the committee, walked in procession to the palace, and
there, forming four deep, preceded the hearse until they
arrived at Colter/sumo, where the Fellows and Students
of Trinity College beaded the procession. The appearance
of these young men, exhibiting such a mark of respect to-
wards the deceased patron, who had constantly aided the
aasociatiou by his lectures, counsel, and influence, was re•
garded as • fitting tribute. The clerical members of the
committee had already taken their places in the cathedral.
The coffin arrived at the cathedral shortly before 11
o'clock, and was met at the nave by his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant, and by the dean and chapter of the cathedral.
At this moment the scene was moat solemn and impressive.
I The spacious aisle of the fine building was lined with clergy.
men, all attired in their surplice; and who, aa the proces-
sion moved up the church to the chance?, manifested their
regret for one who had been so long their spiritual chief.
The lesson selected was taken from the 29th chapter of Job,
which was read by the Hon. and Rev. the Dean of St.
Patrick's. . .

The full choir, led by Dr. Stewart, performed Merley's
beautiful funera' service, and *elections from Handel'a
funeral anthem, oommeaCing with the words, " When the
ear heard him."
. . . _

After the reeding of the service the coffin wee conveyed
to the vault and the solemn ceremony terminated, the choir
performing the "Deed March in Saul." During the paces-
sioo the places of business along the route were closed, sod
the bells of the put* churches were tolled.

THE MURDER AND ROBBERY AT HHOREDITCH.

ADJOURNED INQI7E3T.—(IIIII3 DAY.)
This morning Mr. John Humphreys, the Mid-
dlesex coroner, resumed the adimmed inquest at the Princess
Royal Tavern, Paul-street. Wonhip-street, Shoreditch, re.
'pectins the death of Edward Veal, aged 35 years, who
died from the mortal ante of injuries inflicted on him by
some person or persons unknown, at midnight, on the 22nd
. . . . . . .

It will be remembered that on the night in question,
while deceased was on his way linnie in Old-street-road, he
was assailed by some one, who inflicted a severe injury on
hie head end afterwards ransacked his pockets of his money.
He subsequently reached home in a state of great excite-
ment, and wee seen by Dr. Collier, who rendered every
'renitence, bat be expired on the 29th ult. The medical
testimony proved on a post-mortem examination that de-
ceased bad died from violence inflicted on the head and
neck. The ventricles of the brain were effused, and the
injuries were from external violence.
The Coroner read over the voluminous depositions taken
on the first occasion, when the following additional evi.
deuce was taken :
. . .

Eliabeth Clad said that she recollected seeing deceased on
Monday, the 21st, with her husband at the St. Luke'sjHeed
Public-house, Old-street-road. They were standing at the
bar when Mrs. Morley, a vendor of trotters, asked the
deceased if he was going to stand something to drink. He said
" I have no moony, " but be pulled out a peony, and
wit-
ness put the remainder of the money for half-a-quartern of
gin. The deceased directly afterwards exclaimed, " Where
ts my gior Witness said, " I have given it to Mrs. Morley,
as I thought you intended it for her." They all left the
house together. The deceased was quite sober, and he then
went away.
Christopher Fisher, landlord of the St. Luke's Head
public.house, said that be saw Mn. Morley and Mrs. Clark
at the bar, on the night in question, but he could not recol-
lect the deceased. It was about • quarter to 12 o'clock
when the females went away.
By the Coroner—The roadway was up in a portion of Old-
street-road, for laying down new pipes. and there was a
watchman on duty on the night referred to.
Thos. Bother, 15, Brownlow.street, said that he knew the
deceased ; they used to travel together in the summer time
mollies Germansausages. They used to meetevery Wednesday
evening at the Nags Head public-hones, Compton-street,
Soho. They used to meet to share the profits ; but on
Wednesday, the 23rd ult., the deceased did not attend.
Witness had tried to learn where deceased had sold his
German mumps The deceased was • sober MAD, and
would only take a little beer.
Wm. Miller. police sergeant, 148 0, said that he had made
inquiry and had found that the deceased had purchased
19Ibs. of German sausages of Mr. Noble, of Bethnal-greet,-
road, sod paid 9d. per potted for them. Witness mold not
learn where the deceased had sold them or whether he had
lost them.
Inspector Bricknell said that he had also been engaged
with ;several officers in endeavouring to obtain further
evidence in the case, but they had failed. He bad examined
the part of the roadway where deceased said that be had
been knocked down and robbed, and he believed that the
deceased might have fallen down, whereby the injuries were
caused.
The Coroner said that he was of opinion that the injuries
were not the result of a fall, because the marks on the neck
were the result of violence through the knuckles of some
person. The loss of the deceased's money was another fact,
and there was no doubt that the deceased had died from
great violence. He thought thecaee aught not to be passed
over quietly, but the best plan would be for the police to
follow up the matter, for something might result. The
case was one of murder. and he thought the best plan would
be to adjourn for • fortnight.
Adjourned accordingly.

IA Darzsca or EARL Larratm.—A correspondent
of the Dublin Evening Mail offers the following lame
apology for the Earl of Leitrim :—" The public of this
country is so sensitive to any want of hospitality or breach
of propriety that they seem somewhat hastily to have pre-
judged the Earl of Leitrim ; but from anything that has
appeared in print it appears very doubtful that either one
or the other can be imputed to him. The public prints
only tell us that the Lord-Lieutenant sod his aids-de-camp
drove by an hotel in Commune without even stopping at
it, and they also print a letter from Lord Leitrim to the
hotel-keeper, who seems to be a tenant of his lordship--•
letter which, no doubt, is of uncivil tenour and by no means
in good taste. But what have the public to sayfio that private
letter, and how came it to be made nubile It is not to
be imagined that Lord Leitrim intended it for publication,
nor is it likely that ' Kiog,' to whom it was addressed,
volunteered to publish it. Have the police upon this
occasion, as upon too many others, exhibited a zeal beyond
discretion in obtaining • private document and publishing it
without the consent of the persons to whom it helonp ? for
the ownership in a letter is the joint property, lawyers ssy,
of the sender and the receiver—sot to be published without
the consent of both. Lord Leitrim has certainly, so far as
appears, not published the letter, and therefore committed
no offence io that particular ; nor is it easy to see that his
Excellency and A.D.C's wore refused admittance to as
hotel where, so far as is stated, they did not apply for it.
In addition to all this, does any atones against the public
appear to have been committed!—any breach of public
duty warranting the summary imperseding of the earl in his
functions as a magistrate? As the American say, 'I can.
not see it.' And it is perfectly well known that a certain
castle secretary—not a private one—has exhibited in the
very same Connaught public rowdiness which none of the
authorities seem to hold at all irocompatable with dutiesooti-
sidembly more important than those of • deputy lieutenant
of • county."
Witerwinaren Rzoisrsarton.—The following is
the result of the recent revision of the lista of voters for the
city of Westminster, as furnished by Mr. George nuggets,
the agent for the liberals in that city: —Reform claims
allowed, ; reform objections sustained, 964; tory objec-
tions defeated, 29—total, T 24. Tory claims allowed, 3;
tory objection sustained, 100; reform objections defeated,
9-112 ; majority in favour of reformers, 212. It is but fair
to state that the majority of 212, for which the reformers
take credit, includes some names to which both parties
objected
nt.
Ti Itaers-r STORMA.—AIong the coast of West
Cornwall the storms of Monday and Tuesday rooming
appear to have raged with fearful violence„ Houses were
partially inundated, both by the wave. of the sea and the
torrenta of rain and hail. and the thunder and lightning is
described as most appalling. A few shipping casualties me
reported, but, thanks to Admiral Fitzroy, and to those who
have learned in the school of experience, the smaller
craft have found that forewarned was forearmed. From
Clyandour on the east, to Mounebole on the week the
water came over in iminease mature, and the railway
viaduct near Penzance was at one time in danger, seve-
ral lateral timbers being carried away. Along the whole
pier the water in vast sheets came over • wall thirty
feet in height, wearing the appearance of • huge cascade ;
and the lighthouse was overtopped by the waves continually.
Two fishing brute were stove in at Moniehole Pier, and •
barge sunk at Penzance Pier. In some of the streets the
water flowed like rivers, and the high raid in some parts
was for hours impassible. At Redrutb the storm was felt
with great fury, the lightzing being terribly vivid. One
flash struck • chimney in • private house, forced the cook-
ing stove into the middle of the kitchen, tearing down the
fittings. At another point a little girl bad taken refuge in
a house, leaving • wheelbarrow in the road. The lightning
struck it and tore the wheel completely away from the
woodwork. "finch a storm," says one of our corns-
poodents. " hes tint occurred hereabout since October, 1824."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commiraiooor Goaburn.)
13 R 6 RHAW.

This bankrupt was a oommission agent. of Dorkiog, &c.
Mr. Reed opposed the last examination ; he said that the
Sallielbe originally appointed had been removed by Mr.
Commissioner Pane for neglect of duty, and he (Mr. Held)
urged that in the preesot state of affairs the new wipes
walor to the same ground of complaint. He therefois
th t, as the case had been before Mr. Commissioner Fano

Mr. Cbklley said that the whole allegations of want of
duty were that the assignee had not brought an action on a
bill of sale which they did not consider could be successfully

ground of suspicion, at all events, was a bill of sale eleven
years ego. He (his Honour) said that if the milieu had
applied to him for leave to bring an action, be would not
have granted it. No good could result but to gratify the
feelings of the creditors. It would be an injustice to the
bankrupt to keep him in suspense, and the order of discharge
would be granted.
