PARIS. WIDNISDAT Evonza.

The Privy Council, hitherto a rather obeccro
and ill-defined body, but now likely to make
more noise, held a meeting to-day which lasted
from 10 to 12 o'clock. The Emperor presided.
Prince Napoleon took his seat for the fiat time.
Count Walewski, the Duke de Persigny, and M.
Magna were present.
The Privy Council is now composed as follows :
—Prince Napoleon, Vice-President ; M. Troploog,
President of the Senate ; Duke de Mom, Presi-
dent of the Legislative Body ; M. Fould, Minister
of Finance ; 11. Itaroche, Minister of Justice ;
Marshal Vaillant, Minister of the Emperor's
Household and of the Beaux-Arta ; Duke de Per-
aigny, Count Walewai, and M. Magna, Senators.
Cardinal Morlot and Marshal the Duke de Mala-
koff, deceased, have not been replaced.
M. Emile de Girardin, who is a personal friend
of Prince Napoleon, expresses an opinion in the
Prrue that Prince Napoleon's liberal opinions are
not likely at present to have any great weight in
state affairs. He thinks that liberty has no more
, enlightened or courageous champion than the
prince ; but that rooted prejudices are too strong
for his personal influence to prevail against them.
It is something, however, to find that if a better
time should come this liberal prince will be in an
advantageous position to forward the good work.

The Union► has received a communique for having

said that M. Baroohe's circular to the bishops was
" unprecedented ;" and Mgr. Feutrier's letter in
1829, already brought forward by the Constitution-
nel, is cited as proof to the contrary. The answer
of the clerical journals is that the publication of
the Encyclical of that date was prohibited alto-
gether, whereas that of Pius IL has been the
theme of ribald comment in the press for the last
fortnight, and the bishops alone have their mouths
closed in regard to it.
The Archbishop of Avignon had the ill-luck to
get his toes frozen in a train detained by the snow
near Tonlouie. _

M. Samson, the veteran actor, has been com-
pelled by indisposition to suspend his Friday's
readings in the Rue de is Pair.
Cardinal d'Andrea, in answer to M. Erdal), the
Naples oorrespondent of the Temps, who described
him not only as a rebel to Rome, but as a wealthy
man, possessing 180,000 fr., writes to the ',Wipes'.

to be able to buy some books which he very much
wants. The clerical journals in Paris infer from

THE RECOGNITION OF ITALY BY SPAIN.

The Turin correspondent of the bulipendance
Beige, writing on the 30th ult., says :—" I am in a
position to confirm what I said in my last letter on
the subject of the approaching recognition of the
Kingdom of Italy by the Spanish government.
The Queen's speech announced this event in •
somewhat obscure manner, but I am assured that
the Italian cabinet has just received official com-
municationof the approaching departure of a special
mission which is to precede and prepare the recogni-
tion of the new kingdom. The importance of this
event cannot be mistaken. Of all European states
Spain, next to Austria, was that which had a right
to be the most hostile to Italian unity. She had
dynastic interests to defend in Italy, both at Naples
and at Parma. The abandonment now of this policy
by Spain is one more defeat for the old parties and
for the deposed dynasties which dream of a restora-
tion. As affecting the relations between the two
countries the recognition by Spain is also a moat
fortunate circumstance, the Italians having • very
large trade with that country."

INAUGURATION OF KING LEOPOLD 11.

8111'93E1.9, Doc. 17.

To-day King Leopold 11. took the oath to the
constitution before both houses of the Belgian
parliament.
Upon leaving the palace at Laeken, the Queen,
in deep mourning, preceded the King in a carriage
drawn by six horses. The King followed a few
minutes afterwards. His Majesty received the
congratulations of the burgomaster of Laeken, and
after replying in gracious terms, started on horse-
back, accompanied by the Duke of Flanders and the
Archduke Joeeph of Austria. The King and Queen
were received with enthusiastic cheers along the
entire route, and arrived at the House of Parliament
at mid-day, where a similar reception awaited them.
The King wore the uniform of a lieuteuaat-general
of the Belgian army and the grand cordon of the
order of Leopold. Bareheaded, and with out-
stretched hand, his Majesty pronounced the words
of the constitutional oath in a firm voice. The
taking of the oath to the constitution created great
enthusiasm.

Vv
-----
His Majesty then made a speech, in which he
stated that Belgium, as well as himself, had lost
father. He was moved by the homage of the I
nation and the sympathy of foreign sovereigns and
princes, and thanked them iu his own name and
in the name of his country. His Majesty continued
"I shall religiously follow the example and the pre-
cepts of my father, and will never forget the duties
imposed upon me by this precious inheritance. I
will be a Belgian King from my heart and soul. I
love those great institutions which guarantee order
I and liberty, and which are themost solid bases of the
throne. My constitutional position keeps me aloof
from the confiictof opinions, leaving the country to
decide between them. I desire to give those who
devote themselves to the crowning of the national
edifice, the assurance of my co-operation. By
activity and progress Belgium will retain the sup-
port of foreign powers."
His Majesty repeated the words uttered by his
I late father upon ascending the throne—" My heart
knows no other ambition than to see you happy,*
and concluded by imploring the Divine assistance
and protection for himself and Belgium.
kr His Majesty's speech was received with great
I enthusiasm.

The Queen then presented her son to the Cham-
bers, and their Majesties took their departure amid
shouts of " Vise le Rol et la iteine " Vive le
Comte de Hainanit
The presentation of the addresses of the Senate
and Chamber of Deputies to the King will take
place this evening. The exact text has not yet
transpired, but the tenor is known to express a
desire for concord.
The city is adorned with flap, the houses being
bung with decorations. A. general illumination will
take place this evening.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, SUNDAY Evesnm.
The Moniteur du Soir, in confirming the news
that Admiral Pareja had proclaimed an effective
blockade of several ports of Chili, observes that
notwithstanding the decree of the Chilian govern-
ment, abolishing all import duties in thirty other
ports, commerce is not the less suspended ; and
says :—" It is true that the people of Chili were
expecting by the next packet the confirmation of
the rumour that Spain accepts the good offices of
France and England for effecting an honourable
arrangement between the two parties."
Prince Lucien Bonaparte, apostolic prothonotory
of the Holy See, has been appointed by the Pope
to witness the marriage of the Princess Anna
Murat and the Duke de Moucby, which will be
solemnised in the chapel of the Tuileries at noon
to-morrow. The bride and bridegroom will pass
the honeymoon at the Chateau de Mouchy.
The France says there is no truth in the reported
engagement between Prince Humbert and the
Princess de Leuchtenberg.
The litigation about the management of tie Con-
stitutionnel and Pays, caused by the necessary re-
tirement of M. Grandguillot, is likely to end in
those two journals being more ostensibly in
the hands of the government than they
have ever yet been. The shareholders have
been offered a tempting guarantee for
their dividends to concur iu the scheme
proposed. Count Welles de Lavalette is again
spoken of as likely to be the political director, b•it
one report is that a little known connexion of the
house of Bonaparte—Prince Ernest Napoleon de
Looz-Boontwarem, who married in 1839 Princess
Marie Louise, daughter of Prince Godoy do Bas-
sano—would not disdain the honour of having
Boniface under his orders.

TlO CATTLE ?LAGOS.

The Times notes how gradually and yet how irresistibly
opinions have been brought round to the strong recommends.
tions of the royal commiesioo. After the deputation toSir G.
Grey on Friday, when a majority of fifty to three desired
to see the transit of cattle stopped from one part of a farm
to another, if any public highway had to be traversed in
the passage, there can be little doubt about the opinion of
the agricultural chasms, Si any rate, on the question. The
agricultural societies are not only agreed that the
movement of cattle front one market to another
should be forbidden, but are unanimous in demandlog
that government should take the responsibility on itself,
and secure uniformity of action throughout the kingdom by
inning the necessary iojunctions, leaving the local anthori•
ties with the duty merely of seeie: them enforced ; and it is
not to be denied that facts ars is favour of this argument.
The Times hopes, indeed, that a beginning has been
actually made since the report of the cow unenionete was
issued, and that the contemplation of the prospect before
I us during the lest six weeks may not only have facilitated
, the action now desirable, but may have suggested changes
, in the meat trade which will hereafter be recognised as of
peru.anent and unqualified advantage.

THE CHINA MAIL.

We have received advices from Hong Kong to
August 12. The political news is of slight im-
portanoe. The well known Tseng Kwo-fan has
been appointed Generalissimo of the Imperial
forces in China, in room of Plan-ko-lin-sin. This
appointment is said to give foreigners a little
anxiety, as Iseng Kwo-fan's leanings are believed to
be thoroughly anti-foreign. There is also reason
to believe that Prince Kung, who is now at the
head of the Board of Foreign Affairs, is not over
well affected towards the Western "barbarians."
There appears to be a lull in political matters at
Pekin, so far as concern foreign countries, which
may be attributed to the expected arrival of Sir
Rutherford Alcock, our new minister for China.
Many questions, commercial and otherwise, are at
, present pending his arrival.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

THIS DAY.

Won Mr. W. H. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.)
AA Wren% STIR= OF FRAUD.
William Burma, 88, clerk, wee indicted for obtain' ag by
false pretences the sum of 111. 34. from Marie Chamber-
lain, with intent to defraud. There was a second indict-
ment against him for obtaining by false protenoss the sum
of ss. 6d. from Swab Trimlett, with intent to defraud.
Marie Chamberlain, said she was the wife of Thomas
Chamberlain, of No. 21, Robinson's-row, Kingsland, and
knew the prisoner. On the sth of April last the prisoner
called upon her at William4trest, where she then lived
and brontht two notices to quit for some tenants who lived
there. He raid that Mr. Parnell, the usual collector, was
unwell, and be wished her to go
.round with him to
collect the rents. Before the primmer came she bed
collected 111. 3s. as rent from some houses, and the pn
said be was to asks all the money she had collected to Me.
Parnell, who had sent him to remotes it. Believing his
representations to be true, she paid him the money and he
signed a receipt for it. She afterwards went round with
him to several houses in William-street, Hemy-atreet, and
Kingslaard-road, oollected the Mtn from the tenants, and
handed the mousy over to the primmer.
John Parnell said he lived at Harper-street, Theobeld's-
road, and was house-agent for several houses in Kingsland,
He knew the defendant, but he was not in Ma employ.
On the sth of Apri l whom seat him with a letter
to Mrs. Chamberlain, and gave him 2s. for
his trouble. He merely told him to deliver the
letter to Mrs. Chamberlain, bat he never authorised
him to edict rests or receive money. He did authorise
him to receive the money which Mrs. Chamberlain had
collected. The prisoner had never paid him the mosey so
erileeted, and witness never raw the prisoner again anti
the 7th of December, although he had been looking for
him ever since.
The other indictment was precisely of a similar character.
In that case he went to Mrs. Tremlett, of No. 6, Henry-
street, Kingsland- road, and having stated that ha wail
authorised by Mr. Parnell to receive the rent, obtained
sa. 6d. from her, and reeMpted the book.
The prisoner endeavoured to show that he had been
formerly in the employ of Mr. Penton, and that be stood
in the capacity of his servant, but it appeared tha
tt after
be received these different sums of money, he oed
and was only met with by accident.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for twelve months.

ROYAL ENGLLSEI OPERA.

There wits bat little of the tumult throughonliTthe even- I
lag that wu once inseparable from Boxing-night, although
between the opening piece and the pantomime one or two
altercations of a:pensooed character apparently occurred in
the upper regions; but thole were very soon over, and
on the opening bars of Mr. Montgomery's over-
ture being heard there was a general settling down
into places, and an evident and good.humoured
determination to be amused. The subject chosen
for the pantomime this year is by no means a new
one, the adventures of Aladdin having been represented
many times on the stage under various guises.
Mr. Blanchard hen acquitted himself most admirably. Not
ooly has he infused as many original notions in his treatment
of the story as is possible in one so thoroughly familiar
to everybody, but he has likewise most ingeniously devised
scenes, whereby en idea of the " manners and customs" and
"inner life" in the Celestial Empire, may be attained. The
dialogue, though not abounding in puns after the modern
burlesque school, is sparkling and funny, and the jeu.e de
etas, when they do occur, provoke much laughter, their com-
plications in some instance. being enough to "take one's
breath away."
From the commencement to the end the eye is i
constantly dazzled by some fresh combination of colour,
and a succession of splendid processions or beautiful ballets
are only interrupted by the inimitable drolleries of Mr. W.
H. Payne and Mr. F. Payne, wbo as usual have most of the
actual fan to themselves, although they are now meet ably
satiated by Miss Rachel Sanger and by Mr. Charles Steyne,
the latter's impereon►tion of the widow Ching-Ching being
exceedingly amusing. The other characters were all well
sustained, bat being tuniinportant require no special remark.

HAYMARKET.

At the Haymarket, "Brother Sam" formed an
excellent foreground to the Christmas novelty, which eon-
misted cf an "Opera Buffou," from the Preach of IL
Cremicux, and rue into rhyme by Mr. Plancht,. Of Mr.
Bothern's performance of Dundreary's Brother nothing re. !
=llea to be said ; but of his reappearance at the Bsymarket,
which is classic ground to him, it mast be told that it was,
as !night be expected, kind and hearty. The " Orphee aux
Enters," the music of which is by this time pretty well I
known to the public, forme the groundwork of the ass
piece, which comes out under the somewhat altered title of I
- "Orpheus is the Haymarket.* It may be stated at
earn that Mr. PlaechOe adaptation of rhymed burlesque .
to the music of Offset:rah is very happy, clever, sad sue-
ceesfuL 01 Mkt Waging mach cannot be said is the
way of commendation, but .perhaps in an opera buffs
It is enough to get sprightly airs, and of these there
were abundance. Mies Woolgar, who made her
first appearaaos os this occasion, dressed a very niers
Oapid, and her singing was sweet sad agreeable.
With a little more practice on the stage she will be an
acquisition to it. Miss Lindley and Miss Loan. Keeley
west through their parts extremely well, aid Miss H.
Howard was capital as a repreeestative of Public Opiates.
Al a whole it may be affirmed that the piece went off very
smoothly, and the scenery, especially the last sane—tbe
Temple of Becalm—deserves to be mentioned with a
Mrcmg word al approbatios.

Dunks, 43, clog-maker, were indicted for recisiving a large
quantity of moroooo and roan skins, value 811., the property
of Mr. Epstein, well knowing the same to have been etolee.
The Rewords:carefully and minutely summed up the evi-
dence to the jury, who, after a short consultation, returned
a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. The
prisoner Dunks wee proved by the police to be the associate
of convicted thieves.
The Recorder sentenced Mayday, who bad received •
vod character, to 9 mouths' imprisonment with hard labour.
With respect to Dunks, the sentence was that he be kept
la peeal servitude for 5 years.

feesion a clerk, pleaded guilty to three indictments charging
him with embezzlement, and ale" to three indictments
charging him with forging orders for the payment of three
several sums of 31. 14s. each, with intent to defraud.
Mr. F. EL Lewis, who appeared for the pragmatics,
stated that he wee instructed on behalf of the trustee' of a
lodge of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, and that

SLAVE TRADE IN CUBA.

Mr. CAVE asked the Under Secretary of State far

government had bee, drawn to the debate in the Spanish
Senate on the 23rd of lest month, on the question of de-
clarion the slave trade piracy • and whether any instruc-
tions bad been seat to her Majesty's minister in Madrid an
the subject. _ _ _

Mr. LAYARD—In answer to the question of the hoe.
member, I have to state that the attention of her
Majesty's government has been called to the debate which
recently took place in the Spanish Senate, and they rejoice to
find that there are Spanish statesmen of eminence who are
alive to the enormous evils which result from the continu-
ance of the slave trade in Cabs, and that those states-
men are devising means to put au end, if possible, to
the slave trade in Cuba, and to check the con-
nivance of the Spanish authorities in that island. Her
Majesty's ministers are in communication with the Spanish
government on the subject.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LLNE.—(ZEIIS DAY.)
Very little English wheat came fresh to hand to-day,
coastwise or by land carriage. This condition of the
samples, however, was good, and the demand for most
kiwis ruled steady, at full quotation's.
The show of foreign wheat wee only moderate. Fins
dry qualities moved at freely at full quotations. Otherwise
that weds was in a sluggish state, on former terms.
Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry ; neverthe-
less very little change took pleas in prices.
Grinding barley was tolerably firm at late rates. Malting
sod distilling sorts ruled about stationary. The supply of
English was rather limited—of foreign, samonably good.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state. In prices, the
Iluotuations were trifling.
Thera was only a moderate inquiry for oats. The late ad-
vance in the quotations, however, was supported.
Beans met a slow inquiry on former terms. The supply
was rather on the increase.
The sale for pees was steady, at fall currencies.
Both English and foreign flour oommauded previous rates.
No charge took place in the value of seeds. The demand
for cakes was rather heavy.
