The nomination of the Prince Napoleon,to be at
once a member of the Privy Council and its Vice.
President, was likely to be understood as a de-
monstration against Rome, the prince being a most
uncompromising enemy of the temporal power.
The Opinion Nationale, whose editor, M. Gudroult,
deputy for the Seine, was lately presented to the
Emperor, takes this view. It says :
Public opinion will not mistake the important signifies,
don of this appointment. In placing at the head of the
Privy Council • prises whose great faculties bare never
ceased to maws the mum of liberty in France and Europa,
the Empires not only seamed the daily co-operation of a
devoted relation, but at the so= time characterises his
policy. Under present eliminate's«s it may be truly said
that no nomination can be at 00011 more significant or more
opportune.
The France, not approving, but evidently dis-
ooncerted, betrays a consciousness that M.
Gudroult's construction of the event of the day is
the true one. It thinks the constitution mate-
rially modified by tile additional importance given
to a " council of statesmen, who, independent of
the ministers, and consisting for the most part
of men not associated in the responsibility of the
government, will have all the more liberty to pass
judgment on it. acts." After thus hinting an ob-
jection, M. de la Gueronnibre's journal reserves the
expression of its deliberate opinion for a future day.

and while the court was trying him his bookseller
drove a great trade in the sale of a pamphlet
entitled, "The Truth about Christ and Caesar;
Reply to all Attacks ; Justification of the Author

The 15th of February is positively fixed for the
opening of the legislative session.
The marriage of M. Alex. Dumas, jun., with
Madame Maraschine was celebrated very privately
on Saturday at the mayoralty of Nenilly, M.
Dumas, sera., the mother of the bride, and the legal
number of witnesses being the only persona present.
The first fall of snow that Paris has seen this
winter occurred last night, and was very abundant.
At an early hour the ediles displayed praiseworthy
activity in sweeping the roads and foot-pavementa.
A decided thaw set in late in the day, and in the in.
terior of Paris the snow has all melted.
At the Bourse the Rente opened with an advance
of 100. upon the high quotations of yesterday ; but
• violent reaction soon set in, and, after having
touched 67fr. 25c., the Bente for account dosed at
66fr. 80c., with a fall of 35c. Mobilier fell 15c. The
Lyonsßailway fell 100. In other lines there was little
change. I have heard no reason assigned for the
fall except that the late great rise was too sudden
to be solid.

The Urge estates of the Osborne family are almost eatimly
situated in the county Waterford, and to this, probably,
coupled with his long intimacy with its proprietary, are
we to attribute the hors. member's predilection for that
county." A Dundalk pima states that there is • talk of •

Louth with Sir George Bowyer ; bet it does not believe
that he will meet with much favour from the electors, who,
it hints, return the present member because he has "cue.
