• serious aspect they had eaeaped such heavy
lams as were incurred by some other companies, and in-
cluding • heinous of 4,8191. brought forward, the profits
amounted to 18,9661. The great cotton crisis struck down
some of the largest houses in Egypt, and it wee esti-
mated that the total lames amounted to 2,000,0001.
To that difficulty was added the visitation of
cholera. Their agent bad informed them that the lames of
life from cholera were, in Alexandria 4,000, io Oahe 5,000,
in Damietta 2,000, and in Rosetta 2,000; and that the
total number of deaths within the oomparatiwe short
period that choler& bad raged in Egypt was 19,256 sods.

Rictimussos is the chair.

The balance-sheet showed • great improvement as
compared with the last one, showing an increase
both of business and profit. Though t►e expenses were
larger the profits were proportionately pester. A larger
dividend might have been declared but the board thought
it heat to strengthen the hank in public, estimation.

THE DRAMATIC OOLLIGE FETE.

The annual fête and fancy fair in aid of the
funds at the Royal Dramatis College, was opened at the
Crystal Palace on Saturday, before a very crowded, mined,
easily-awned, and fashionable &adieu*. In spit* of the
difileulty of importing much novelty into these enter-
tainments, they are generally admitted to be the most
socosesful given during the year at this vast place of
amusement, and both the charity and the Crystal Palace
company derive considerable benefit from their
encore. la addition to the infinite resotuaies and
admirable organisation at the Crystal Palace,
an enormous amount of clever, atissotive, and unpaid
labour is brought to bear upon these Rites, and this labour is
chiefly contributed by working actors and active's& Fore.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(fox ous owl

PARIB„ SUNDAY EVININO.

It is scarcely possible to doubt that the illness
of the Imperial Prince must be more serious than
has been represented. The Petrie repeats its news
of last night that the Emperor will go to Plom-
bares to-morrow, and that the "slight indis-
position" of the Imperial Prince will not delay
his departure, and that of the Empress, for
Fontainebleau, longer than Tuesday. But the
official journal, the Moniteur du Soir, says that
on account of this 'same slight indisposition the
departure of both the Emperor and the Empress
is delayed for "some days." This indefinite post-
ponement, interfering with arrangements made
yesterday, cannot fail to cause much anxiety.
It is rumoured that the Prince of Wales, after
witnessing the international naval reviews at Cher-
bourg and Brest next month, will visit Fontaine-
bleau, and that grand fates in his honour will be
given, as splendid as those of Versailles on the oo-
casion of the Queen's visit to Paris.
Under the irresistible pressure of public opinion
wbioh every day tends more and more towards the
liberty of the ballot-box, the Prefect of the Pyrendes
Orientates has thought it necessary to suspend a
K Vitas, mayor of the commune of Borixte,
for having attempted to intimidate the municipal
electors for the benefit of his own candidature.

There is great talk in the catholic world of the
intention of the Pope to assemble an ecumenical
council, consisting of all the bishops in Christen-
dom, for the purpose of regulating the position of
the papacy in regard to modern civilisation. I
apprehend these relations are destined to be regu-
lated without the concurrence of bishops.

Au extra representation is to be given at the Opera
on Tuesday, for the entertainment of Abd-el-Ksder.
The bill is not yet quite settled, but the principal
piece will probably be arson/tie/10. At any rate
there will be a great deal of dancing for the delec-
tation of the Africans.
It was some time since stated that M. Berryer
was under the necessity of selling his chateau of
Augerville, on the borders of the forest of Fon-
tainebleau. Several French papers of to-day say
that Lord Brougham has bought the property with
the intention of giving it back to M. Berryer. I
do not think it necessary to offer any opinion as to
the probability of this news.
M. Saulcy, senator and member of the Institute,
is invited to stay with the Emperor at Plombieres.
This circumstance lends to the surmise that his
Majesty means to write more Crease during the
three weeks of his sojourn in the Vosges watering-
place.
Abd-el-Kader went to the Hippodrome yesterday
afternoon. He has been invited to meet the Em-
peror in the Chalons camp next month.
M. Valetta, bookseller, of the Rue St. Sulpice,
the publisher of " Le Clergd an Pilori," the prose-
cution of which I l►tely mentioced, was on Friday
found guilty of " an outrage on the catholic re-
ligion," and sentenced to three months' imprison-
ment.

Mrs. Davis. prepared at the outbreak of the war. The
present in a novel and a handsome one, being a
bouquet of ladies' hair. Locks lof every shade and hue
shed from the heads of fair South Carolinians, and ens-
ningly worked into the semblance of a well arranged
and tastefully selected
bouquet. There are roses, butter-
cups, daisies, lilies. broad-leaved japoniou, all ex-
quisitely wrought of hair, and bearing a marvellous
resemblance to their garden prototypes. The hair used
is hero the vegetable grey of age to the Oman silk locks of
youth, raven-brown, 'album, blonde, all colours are delicately
combined, and the whole is oertaioly a triumph of hair work.
The petals of • japonica are elegantly worked with block
hair, while the blossom is of a delicate flaxen hue. The
hods of the flowers are represented by beads. The
bouquet is of full size, being at least 15 inches act ou
at its widest part. and about 18 inches in 'wrath.
The stems of the hair flowers are tied with a bow of blue
ribbon. The bouquet is inclosed in a square shal-
low ease, lined with white satin. The front so of glass,
surrounded by a neat gilt frame. On the white satin

presented her the bouquet several months ago, and that
she removed it from the Presidential parlour to her own
bumble home, where it remained till within • few days
past, when it was sent down with Mrs. Bond's other effects.
It is now in her hones at Ceap Hamilton. Mrs. Davis
told her that the bouquet was made from the hair of Smith
Carolina ladies ; some of them that she had known well
`were dead, and she did not ears to have the gift in her poi-
session.

"We have reason to believe," Bays the Petrie,
"that than has been some intention both at Paris and

Gutrisitgit.—The old Parliament is dissolved—a new one
is to be constructed—and you are now called upon to exercise
the high and important prlellees of selecting the representatives
of the greatest city in the world. We venture to Owe oar
names on the list of compel tors for your suffrages, or rather for
a reams' or cootinnation of them for we have this advantage
over many candidates that we do not come before you as
strangers. Our exertions in your interests during a long series of
years are not naknown, nor have they been unrewarded. We are
old and tried reformers. Grieved to behold oar fellownitisens
outrageously overtaxed, we introduced a new melees, and raised
the cry of "Economy and exoellenc• to happy combination."
We have 'nod earnestly opposed and condemned all exorbitant
claims upon the public purse, setting an example to others In
the extreme moderation of every Bill presented by ourselves.
nun not a stale Bill no presented has ever been objected to, or
rejected, or amended. We have never disappointed our consti-
tuenta —we have never violated our ples —we have never
neglected our duty. The improving state of our revenue from
the continued and increased prosperity of our commercial rela-
tions, justifies us In promising to give our be t comideratlon to
the poesibility of still further retrenchments of all demands upon
the lucomes of our constitut n te.
We are advocates for an ettendon of the suffrage, not " late-
rally" only, but in all directions. Our constituency has always
been remarkably extensive—the largest in the kingdom—
but we have no objection whatever tome it multiplied to any
extent, and amongst all classes. We ever identity our own
interests with those of the richest and the poorest of oar fellow.
