PARIS. THURSDAY EVZHING.

An amusing misprint in the Moniteur represents
M. Rouher, senator and Minister of Agriculture
and Commerce, as making a speech in the Corps
Legislatif against the protectionists. The Temps
maliciously pretends to be misled by the Monifeur's
mistake—the fact being that it is essentially ab-
horrent to the present imperial system that
ministers with portfolios should speak in the
lower house. Curiously enough, the Sick, little
suspecting that its arguments were being, in ap-
pearance at least, countenanced practically by a
contemporaneous number of the Moniteur, says this
morning that M. Baroche's very excusable mis-
takes and hesitations in a complicated matter
for which he was crammed show that
M. Roches., the acting minister within whose
department the treaty of commerce lies, would
have been the proper person to defend it before the
chamber. Ministerial responsibity, however, is as
yet looked upon at the Tuileries as a pestilent
heresy pertaining to parliamentary government.
The Petrie, in its " latest news," denies that any
arrangement had been made in Mexico at the date
of Feb. 21, and says that nothing can have been
decided until the arrival of General de Lorenoez,
who is furnished with very precise instructions.
The Preset says th&t, contrary to all that has
been hitherto said, General DOll4 who embarks at
Toulon for Mexico to-morrow, will be accompanied
by his staff alone, and that the new brigade which
was talked of will not embark at present. It
agrees with the Pattie that the news of any settle-
ment before General de Lorencez's arrival must be
premature.

It is announced that a regular service of French
packets between Saint Nizaire and Mexico will
commence on April 13. _ _

The Gazette de France is to be prosecuted for
having, in As number for March 18, announced
the fact that a subscription has been set on foot to
pay the fine and costs incurred by M. Eugene
Pellets; in consequence of his condemnation
for his article entitled "Liberty as in Austria."
The sale of M. Pelletan'i library went off yes-
terday evening in the manner which I led you
to expect. The three first books put up, the
intrinsic value of which was not 10fr., were
knocked down to sympathetic friends for 2,500 fr.,
and the auctioneer then withdrew the rest of the
lots.

The Bourse has been decidedly better. The
Rente rose Bc. for mush, and 2k. for account,
closing at 69fr. 60c. and 69fr. 90c. Mobilier rose
6fr. 26c., and the Italian Loan 10c. The Orleans
Railway, in which there has been a great deal a
speculation for the last few days, fell 12fr. 50c. in
consequence of the expected emission of 300,000
new shares having been made on a different footing
from what was expected ; Southern rose Bfr. 750.,
Lyons 3fr. 7k., and Northern lfr. 2k. Eastern
fall 2fr. 50c., and Western was without change.

The French troops are to be aneembkd in camp
much earlier this year thee real The hems far lodging
the troops at the camp of Lyons ere always kept in repair,
sad the reghneinte which wintered in Lycra are new about
to return to the camp. It was the asap of Lyons which
supplied the first troops which embarked for the Crimea,
Italy, and China. A friend having oongratelatel Marshal
Castellano, who always ocenniaade the amp, on having
educated so many soldiers far glory, the marshal replied,
"That is all very well, bet I am tired of being the cook of
glory for others. On the breaking out of the next war I
will ask to take part in the campaign, and to march at the
head of mycorps eremitic."
The Charirari publishes a caricature in which
Europe, represented by a female Bore, is trying to amuse
a young girl crowned with flowers, and bearing the name
of Spring, with a polichinelle dressed like ea inhabitant of
ancient Mexico, with a head-dress cf feathers, bow and
arrows, ka. Underneath is written :—" Endeavouring to
turn away her attention boa caw **a°
The Nazi one of Florence relates the following :
" Prince Anthony Bowline a few days ago left Manses,
where he is settled, for Rome, on private bagmen, and,
after a short stay, prepared to return by Civita Vecchia.
On arriving at the railway terminus with thin intention, the
lapel polioreinesrs asked him for his passport, which he
produced. The passport was a French one ; and • vise or
two being wanting on it, the prince was sent back by the
police! His highness immediately went and complained of
this disomuleous behaviour to the French authorities, who
at once had him escorted to the station by • French picket
to prevent his being any further annoyed."
A sort of political demonstration took place at
Berlin a few nights ago at the Victoria Theatre, upon the
first performance of a new piece called the atur Damn In
the mooed act one of the actors had to sing some verses in
which • oontreat was made between a rich man, who was at
the same time • moral and intellectual pauper, end • poor
man, who might be called rich in the higher gifts of cha-
racter. On coming to the lost stanza, the singer hit off the
Herreuhaus, with Its comfortably-placed members and
wealthy landed propristam, in the one pithy sentence, " Da
armee relax,' haus" ("non poor rich home ") ; while,
by the simple traespositica of the epithets, as " Da rib:hes
armor haus," be eulogised the deputies who had bees seat
to their homes without just cause, but who went atteaSal
with the sympathies of the whole nation. Immediately the
audience rose, and greeted the sentiment with thundering
rounds of applause, which lasted for several missies.
During the subsequent panel the performance the popular
enthusiasm war excited to the highest pitch by the
slightest allusion to the topic of the day.
The good faith of the Viennese who purpose visit-
ing the laternatiosal Exhibition is imposed upon by the
report of a gigantic hotel for the visitors of four nations,
who may look out upon the elegant (?) domes of the great
building they have come to see from their very bedroom
windows. In this cosmopolitan palace there are said to be
four great doors of different coloum. From the red portal
stalks out the stiff and haughty Briton ; the French emerge
from between pillars of celestial azure ; for the Italian is
reserved an entrance decorated with green, the symbol of
the youth of his country ; while the German dreams, for
the moment, that be is in the flowery land, seduced thereto
by • sea of yellow paint, as he passes the enchanted
threshold.

A lamentable accident attended the represent-
ation of the Huguenots, at the theatre of Avignon, a few
days bask. Two soldiers of the 58th, who were about to
figure in the piece, were amusing themselves before the
rising of the curtain by fencing with foils, when one of
them, in making a false movement, cau ed the button of hie
adversary's foil to enter his own aye, penetrating to the
brain. A part of the body of the unfortunate young man
was immediately paralysed.
