EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(raom calla owl ooaasseortan.)

PARIS, FRIDAY EMNING.

The Bourse was very weak during the greater
part of the day, but there was a sudden animation
at the close. The Bente, after having declined to
70fr. 750. and 71fr. 15e., closed at 71fr. and
71fr. 40e., with a rise of 50. and 15c. Mobilier
rose 6fr. 25c., and the Italian Loan 50c. The
Southern Railway rose sfr., and Orleans 2fr. 500.,
but Northern and Eastern fell sfr. each, and Lyons
and Western 2fr. 50c. each. The comparative
heaviness in railways is accounted for by the bad-
ness of last week's receipts. The loan of four mil-
lions sterling effected in London by the French
government is quite a surprise upon the public here.
Some of the journals venture to make sarcastic re-
marks upon it. According to the Temps, the terms
are so good for the lenders that there is no wonder
that it was eagerly taken up. The Prune pointedly
says that it abstains from reproducing the com-
ments of the English papers upon the transaction.
Last Sunday a mandate from the Bishop of
Tarbes was read in all the churches of his diocese,
declaring it to be true that a young girl, named
Bernadette Soubiroua, had seen the Virgin Mary
in a grotto at Lourdes in 1858. He undertakes to
say from his episcopal chair that the exact number
of times that the Virgin miraculously appeared in
the grotto was twenty-eight, and that she wore
yellow roses in her shoes ! He, therefore, charges
all the faithful in his diocese to believe in the
miracle of Lourdes as a true and genuine miracle,
and nothing doubts that his judgment in this mat-
ter will be confirmed by the Pope.
More snow has fallen to-day than we have had
all the winter ; it melted as fast as it fell, and the
streets are in a terrible state.

At the sitting of ibe court this morning,
Sr C. Cromwell pronounced his decision on the motion of

rapers he was still of opinion that to this particular case
the Row of Lords would not refuse to hear the petitioners'
appeal, makes the process of reviver in the court below had
been gone through ; yet, as it would perhaps be the safer

to be revived as prayed.

THWAITKR C. THWAITI.B.
This parthearl ewes was resumed this morning, when
additional evidence in support of the wife's allegation was
given by Anne Townsend, who had been a nurse in her
employ.
George Henry Thwaites, the son of the parties, an in-
telligent-looking lad of eleven, recollected being at dinner
one day when his little brother asked his MAMA to
give him some apple sauce. His mama at that time
used to dme upstairs ; but @he was standing
by at the time. She was going to give it
to him, but papa said, "This is not your table," and told
her to go out. Mama maid, " I will not be forced out ;"
but papa pushed her out of the room. Afterwards saw
that her hand was bruised a little. Recollect mama
leaving, and went with her. That morning papa
had thrown some water over her while she wan
outside his workroom. I we. in the room part of the
time. I had asked papa for a penny. He said, ' You were
insulting to the servants last night." Replied, " They
insulted mama, and I shall take mama's part." Papa
said that mama had ordered dirty linen to be put
wader the safe. Answered that she had not
done so, but had ordered it to be taken downstairs.
Hearing talking mama came downstairs, and said she did
not order it to be put under the safe. Theo papa called up
the servants, Messiah Dade and Sarah Martin, and asked
them if she had not done so. They said she
had ; and at last papa threw some dirty water
which he had in a basin over MOM. The servants called
bar a bad woman. Thought papa smiled at them. When the
water was thrown mama fell back against the wall. Then
she went upstairs, changed her dress, and went away to
Mr. Nash's and then to Mr. Welsh's. Papa came moon
afterwards to Mr. Welsh's, and took erasw away,
telling him that he must never go there again. Had
lived with him ever since. Slept at his lodgings 311
street, Strand, last night.
Croasesamieed—liad been at school for a year, but he
went home at the holidays. Moms had seen him from
time to time at school. Could not recollect bow long the
disturbance about the applesauce took place before mama
left. . .

Wm. Thwaitex aged seven, was also put in the box, but
he mid he did not understand the nature of an oath, sad
was not examined. . .

The evidence of another laud named Darniaai. taken
