PARIS, WZDNIZDAY EVZNING!.

The results of the municipal elections are still
but incompletely known. When M. P. Limayrac
yesterday sang his song of triumph in the
Comtitutionnel, he had no positive information
from more than 800 out of the 30,000 communes
of France. As I have before stated, it was
always certain that the highly centralised ma-
chinery, acting upon such malleable stuff as
universal suffrage, which has heretofore procured
almost unanimous votes for the government,
would give it an immense majority on this
occasion. The only interesting thing in the
history of the contest is to know how much
larger the minority is than at the last election,
how many more votes for defeated candidates were
polled, and in what proportion the abstentions were
diminished. These returns it will take some time
to get at, more especially as the government will
do its beet to retard their publication. But it is
quite plain already that the more the authorities
contemplate the elections the less they like them,
and that the revival of public spirit in the country
is making rapid strides. Among the large towns in
which the opposition has obtained complete or
partial victories are cited Marseilles, Toulouse,
Avignon, Roaune, Draguignan, Auch, Saint
Lo, Limoges, Saint Ynex, Vienne, Guincamp,
Cette Nerac, Roubaix, Eperial, Rochefort, Thiou-
ville, and Dijon. Many names long in the
background stand prominently forth. M.
Paul de Remusat, a prominent member of the
"old parties," is at the head of the poll at
Toulouse. Colonel Guinard, an exile only lately
returned, is elected for a commune near Versailles.
M. Magnin, the rising opposition deputy, is
triumphant at Dijon. Although in many places
the opposition purposely voted for the mayor in
order not to tempt the government to force
upon them a mayor not chosen by the people
several mayors have been thrown out. Among
these are the notorious Dr. Paimard, of Avignon,
and the mayors of Toulouse, Cherbourg, Mans,
Poictiers, and Vichy. M. Glais Bizoin, the oppo-
sition deputy, is high in the poll for St. Brieuc.
Flute players, who, upwards of half a century
ago, practised by the hour the exercises of Tulon,
will probably be astonished to learn that their fa-
vourite composer was in this sublunary world so
lately as July 23, on which day he died
at Nantes, where he bad been living in
retirement for many years, and was very much
respected. Jean Louis Tulon was born so long
ago as September 12, 1776, and was the son of a
chorus singer at the opera. He was entered at a
very early age as a pupil of the Conservatoire, and
took lessons on the flute from Wunderlich. His
talent was wonderfully precocious. In 1799 he
obtained the second prize for flute playing, and
carried off the first in 1801. From 1804 to 1813 he
was first flute player at the Italian Opera, which he
only left to succeed his old master Wunderlich at
the Grand Opera. He was elected a professor of
the Conservatoire in 1820.
So far from the rapid success of the City of Paris
Loan having produced a rise at the Bourse, the
market was extremely heavy to-day. Bente fell
10c. for cash and 70. for account, closing at
67fr. 65c. and 67fr. 594 c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 50c.
The City in the midst of its triumph at the loan
being covered by public subscription in one day,
forgets that it showed bad judgment in the estima-
tion of its own credit, and threw away money iu a
shocking way by giving a commission of 2,500,000 fr.
to the Credit Mobilier, which was wholly unneces-
sary. There is a frightful job behind this trans-
action.
