PARIS, THOVIDAT EVEII3IO.
The death of Lord Palmerston was not known in
Paris last night, and only the Moniteur announced
tbe pews this morning. To-day it is naturally the
leading subject in all the evening papers.
The Petrie says :
England has lost her ablest minister—her greatest mss
sines Fox and Pitt. Lord Pelmeretea's death is the heaviest
blow that could have fallen upon the Queen's government.
Whim England loot Sir Robert Peal the path before his
miecesior wee clear. But Lord Palmerston anise with him
to the grass the morel of a policy, open so doubt to arid-
Pun, but which must be admitted to have been often the
mainstay and the great resourm of Great &dais. It wee,
however, lass by his este than by the prestigeof his name,
his old experiesca and his eonmezion with all the leading
men of the age, that Lord Palmerston was a power is his
mantry. Over his tomb England may well weep a widow's
Mate
The Gazette de Prance is of opinion that :
The great news of the day will produce considerable °oat-
esqueeme, in England drat of all, and afterwards, pro-
bably, la Burepe.
La France attributes to Lord Palmerston's per-
sonal acquaintance with Louis Napoleon the
speedy recognition by England of the government
of the coup d'etat, and it considers that act as a
great service to humanity and a timely check to
demagogy in Europe, which was becoming dan-
gerous :
Masa/alma in his relations with Frames Lead Palmer-
ston appeared to be alternakdy ideated by seatimenta of
sympathy and mistrust. His meson urged him towards a
cordial undentendieg ; but the impreesiowe imbibed is his
early political life often made him stand aloof. Hess a
see-saw policy ; and isoonsistont action which frequently
seemed namiconotable.
The Acenir National says :
He was very indifferent to the great movements which
troubled other countries, and stinted the Republie of 18411
and the comp dent of 1851 with equal empresennow.
The Prase, anticipating speedy reforms as a con-
sequence of the Premier's death, says :
The old policy of England will be Warred is Lord Pal-
mentce's tomb, and the hour of democracy will seen strike
in liberal England. The state man who would swag to
the heritage of Lord Palmerston must have the nomad to
become the Robert Peel of univocal adroit..
M. Gudroult, deputy for Paris,
writes in the
Opinion Nationale :
This death will probably be the signal for a new riannifl-
cation of parties, mad if the foreign policy England
is not likely to be greatly changed, internal cmeations. and
especially eleotoral reform, ere likely to deemed a large
date of attention. Planes does not bee a friend in Lord
Paleseretee. Bat we mama animas* bin death whisont
miss the tribute of • last homage be the maimed Mateo-
MO who, whether our ally or oar advisory, was always
the type of an accomplished English gratlomma.

The following semi-official paragraph on the
cholera appears in the Pays :
The minitary slate of Paris, which at so time has been
sash as to justify serious neeminem, has greatly improved
within the last two days. On the 16th end 17th thestim-
bet of cases in all the scrondiesements of Ports aseept the
two northern sees diminished by Gee half. The
has therefore sabered into its decreasing peeled soonerepid than
was expected, and there is every grand to hope that in a
few days it will have altogether disappeared.
An international exhibition of dames is to take
place at the Palate de l'lodnstrie from the 13th to
the 31st of December. Gold, silver, and bronze
medals will be awarded to the best products,
" Charge, Chester, charge," will doubtless be the
cry in our leading cheese country, and Stilton,
Glouceetersbire, and Wiltshire will not fail to
enter the lists.
