PARTS, Timmy Buxom

A hotly contested election for a vacant seat in
the Corps Logi'latif—a contest especially remark-
able for the unusual number of candidates—is going
on in the department of the Aisne. The ballot on
Sunday and Monday prodseed no definitive result,
no candidate having obtained an absolute majority.
The number of voters being 29,822, the clear half
plea one of that number of votes in favour
of some one candidate was required to malts
the /Lodi= valid on the first ballot, and
the candidate at the head of the poll fel
considerably short of Ibis. The numbers were
Margaux' government candidate, 12,319. Incht:
pendent candidates : De Tillsnoourt, 6,807 ;
Montasquion, 4,739 ; Waddington, 3,928 ; De
Lostnage, 1,417 ; Levesque 920 ; void votes 17.
It will be seen that in round numbers the various
opposition candidates polled 5,000 more rotes than
the government nominee. It is scarcely doubtful
that a coalition will take place, and that at the,
second ballot next Sunday the government will be
defeated. M. H. Waddington, a member of the
Institute, says in his address that his family bap
been settled in France for the lest 100 years. It is
probable, from the initial of his name, that he must
be a relative of Mr. Horatio Waddington, the Under
Secretary of State, who, by the way, has a known
penchant for Paris and French society.
The Court of Appeal gave judgment to-day in
the Montmorency case. It confirmed the judgment
of the court below so far as that court declared
itself without jurisdiction to examine the validity
of the Emperor's decree conferring the title of
Duke de Montmorency upon Count Adalbert de
Talleyrand Perigord. But it was of opinion that
as to the arms of Montmorency which the new duke
has taken upon himself to bear, and about which
the imperial decree was silent, the court had juris-
diction, because that raised a separate question of
property. It has therefore referred the case for
further argument before the Court of First
Instance with a different set of judges. It will be
a quaint result of this litigation if, as seems pro-
bable, the new Duke of Montmorency shall be pre-
vented from bearing the arms of the ancient noble
house of which, by the Emperor's will, he is now
the representative. This check to his pretensions
is a tremendous triumph for the Jockey Club and
the Faubourg St. Germain.
The Gazette de Prance says that M. Duruy's

speeches have the happy privilege of exciting public
interest to an immense degree, though some, chang-
ing the expression, say only pnbliC curiosity. There
is, however, always novelty in the discourses of
that intrepid statesman, and we may be certain
that his speech of to-day will not be a
repetition of that of yesterday. The surprise
of this year is, of course, the announcement, not
indeed of the positive decision but of the wish of the
university of Paris, of which M. Durny makes
himself the mouthpiece, that the Paris University
Exhibition of 1867 should comprise an exhibition
of scholastic products. M. Duruy says to all the
universities of the world :—" .le to thifie en ven,
prose, grsc, et latin.'
The fall of I in Consols produced but a momen-
tary effect on the Bourse, which closed without
animation, but very firm, at yesterday's prices.
