PARIS, A'ZIDAY EVININO.
There is nothing new to-day (tithe? from Turkey
or Naples, except a despatch reiterating the an-
nounoement that the French and English legations
left Naples on Tuesday, and that they w►rs to em-
bark at Chita Vecchia for Marseilles this dik;', Octo-

Several Jose's!, attach great important* to the &COOL 4
which MOM to be established upon armies gran questions
►etween Austria and England. Some people ham wen
la the fact evidence of an approximation to an
alliance between the two power,. We do not
think the situation can be so considered. The identity of
lb. vie we of the two cabinets arises mach more from the
similarity of their positions and the exigencies of their per.
tonal literate than from any andante:idle' preliminary to
• political ualou. They are acting in the same manner
but on different theatres, and with entirely distinct interests.
Austria will not quit the Principalities for reasons which
interest herself alone, and became she desires to maintain a
preponderant authority there. Englead will not leave the
Black Sea for analogous mesons From this it results that
the two powers, without pursuing t►e least In the
world the same object, are both in an equal degree violating
the Treaty of Paris, and both hays moans to identioal
siOlilll to Justify their conduct. As to a we,. Intimate
political cooneetion between the two countries, we have no
reason to suppose it probable.

The Boone hu improved, owing to a fall in the
rate of Reports, and a rim in the English funds.
The Rente rose 15c. for cub, and 30c. for acoonot,
closing at 66fr. 70c. and 66fr. 750. Mobilier rose
27fr. 50c. More business was done in railway. than
on soy day daring the week, and most of the lines
roes 2fr. or 3fr. Bank of -Franco fell 25f.

I understand that the Bank is rather uneasy
at the prosper* of the number of commercial bills
falling due this day. The bank porters have been
ordered, on pain of dismissal, not to pay away any
ether.

M. Emile de Girardin's marriage with Mdlle. de
Trefenbech was celebrated to-day at the Madeleine.
Dr. Cleburne (a relation of the yinprese), M. de
Lessees, and Baron de Richemont were among the

M. Cloujon, a young astronomer of great eminence,
who was chosen by the late M. Arago for hie assist-
ant, has jut died of apoplexy, at the age of 33.
The Daily Nem and Bxpress were both seized to-
day. Punch was seized yesterday.

AUSTRALIA.

From the summary prepared by the Melbourne Age,
of the bib of August, tar the James Baines, we make
the following extracts:
We are now on the eve of the general alectlon—the first
Rader the new wonstitation. The day is flied for the issuing
of the writs for the upper house, the elections for which is
to take place during the present month. The elections for
the lower house follow, and will probably occupy the whole
of September. The new parliament is expected to meet in
October.

The character of the lower house will be decidedly demo.
critic; bet anything like extreme tendencies in tkat arm
lion is not to be apprehended. That there will be a change
of miaistry soon sitar the meeting of parliament is extremely
likely--some lay, inevitable—bet the opposition to the go-
vernment will emanate sot so mach from the new, as from
the old portion of the colonists.

The elections are expested to pare off very quietly. In
moot of the districts there will be little or nothing of a
contest.

While in the cotresponcheg month for the year 1866, the
returns were 891,600 oz.

This deficiency, however, is to be primarily accounted for
by the stusually wet weather for the last few weeks which
has impeded raining operations to a verygreat extent. This
bits been especially the ease where raining is pursued by in-
dividual diggers under the old system. The diggers i•
many Juanita's are quits unable to overcome the Inter,
utter by outdated parties and an improved system of
operation. As it is, the individual diggers have had to
abandon their old ground and go it much of new, so loag
so the wet weather holds oat. Puddling and quarts wash
lug operations have, however, bean progresetng as usual,
sad greatly helped to keep up the escort returns.
Saugerated tippets of the discovery of rich diggings is
the seighbouring colony of New South Wales, hats also
been the means of affecting the gold returns and drawing
off a great number of our diggers. The late accounts from
that district, however, bays been rather unfavourable, and
• great many are retuning, quite distppointed. Our emi-
gration outwards bin bun more than counterbalanced by

the immigration of Chinese, who are arriving in great
number. overland from Adelaide, in order to recipe the tan
of 101. per bud which ia levied on all Chine'e arriving at

tifperts.

Under the head of mineral resouroes, we have now to men-
tion the discovery of a coalfield it a short distance from Mel-
bourne. Nothing very definite, hewer( r, is yet aseertsiaed
about it.
