PARIS, BV/IDLT

The imperial layette iv at this moment the most
attractive exhibition in Paris. The public is ad-
mitted to see it by tickets w hich Madlle. Felicie gives
to any respectable person for the asking. All
yesterday and today the Rue Vivienne and the
Place de la Bonne have bees blocked up by gay
carriers, belonging to fashionable people, come to
see the swaddling clothes. It takes an hour on an
ge to get in, from the moment of taking up
one's position at the tail of the queue, as long as the
sea-rerpent, which extends through the court-
yard leading to MadUe. Felicie's door and
far into the Rue Vivienne. Bergens-de-ville
marshal the spectators the way they should be going,
and only let in a few at a time, so that the show'
rooms may not be overcrowded. The oast majority
of those who press to see this remarkable sight are
ladies, and of these English ladies form a very large
proportion. The first thing that strikes one on enter-
log the rooms where the two complete infantine
trousseaux, masculine and feminine, have been laid
out by Mullis. Felicia with exquisite taste, is the
amazing superfluity of the outfit. There are napkins,
cape, frocks, chemises, petticoats, jacket', wrappers,
hats, bonnets, shoes, drawers, cloaks, mantles, man-
telets, capes, talmes, muffs, collars, socks, stockings,
flannels, rattles, pillows, and hosts of nameless ar-
ticles pertaining to a nursery, enough to set up a
foundling hospital. But when the costly material
and delicate workmanship of every one of these
articles is considered, the mind, perplexed to think
what they can all be wanted for, might fancy that
some political convulsion had driven all the sove-
reigns of the world to one place of refuge,
and that this was the common and ample
wardrobe of all the royal babies in existence.
It never can be expected that any prince or princess
will actually wear a tithe of the things here provided.
The provision is el much in excess as Lucullue's
roasts of thrushes, or Brnmmell's cravats. I "oppose
the nurse will profit by the " failures."

The colours of all the habiliments are white and
sky blue. There is a very pretty cradle (not
the one given by the city of Paris, which
is not yet quite finished) with white lice
and blue hangings. The imperial orewn is
embroidered upon every article. The ladies
examine everything most minutely, and the constant
cries of the eergene•de-ville on duty that touching is
not allowed, are all impotent to prevent the curing
fair from taking up the fine fabrics in their hands to
look at them closer. Some of Madlle. Policies as-
sistant artistes walk about the salons and an-
swer all questions with graceful empressement.
Although everybody will have it that the
child is to be a prince, and although the
statistical doctrine that the chanoes are fully equal
that it will be a princess is scoffed at, I suspect that
Madlle. Fend* would not be greatly disappointed if
it were, after all, to be a girL She seems to have
more especially lavished the cunning of her art upon
certain darling little blue bonnets, which it were pity
to think would never be wanted. I should state that
the toilette, whether for a boy or girl, is complete
with everything that can possibly be required up to
the age of two years. I have not heard, and will not
attempt to guess, what the satire cost of this layette
may be, but it must be something unprecedented.
The Aloniisur of this day publishes the following
bulletins respecting the health of the ex-King of
Westphalia:

PARIS, SATURDAY EVINIXO.

Marshal Prince Jerome had a serious attack of
illness last night. After having pulled the day,
apparently in his usual good health, he was suddenly
seized at nine in the evening with a violent infiam.
motion of the chest (fluxion de poifrine). It was
thought right to bleed him and apply mustard poul-
tices. His imperial highness is confined to his bed.
At three o'clock this afternoon the Emperor and
Empress paid him a visit, and remained by his bed.
aide for nearly half an hour. The Empress, who
cams to the Paleis Royal in an open carriage, looked
remarkably well.
The Bourse was heavy to-day, without any re-
markable feature. The Rents closed at yesterday's
price, 72.10 fir cash, and fell 10c. for account.
Credit Mobilier fell 7.60. The Austrain railways
fell 2.50, owing to a report that the Doke de Dal-
liers bad resigned his seat in the direction. The
Sardinian Railway fell 7.50.

This morning the Imperial Court of Paris gave
judgment in the appeal of flee students who were
convicted for taking part in the disturbances at M.
Nisarde lectures. Some very eloquent speeches on
behalf of the students were made yesterday by M.
Bethmout, the titonnier, and the ether advocates for
the prisoners, but, at the requisition of the Procureur
Imperial. the court ordered Chet no report of the
trill should be published. A point of law was very
seriously argu-d to the effect that Professor Niaard
was not a public functionary within the meaning of
the law under which the indictment was framed.
The court overruled this objection, holding that the
taco of M. Nisard having been appointed by the
Emperor wu quite sufficient to constitute him •
public functionary. All the convictions were con-
firmed, but the periods of imprisonment were reduced
by one-half—three and two nunlike beiag awarded
instead of six and four. In one instance, that of M.
Abbadie, the imprisonment was altogether remitted,
and a flue of 100 f. inflicted instead.

Madame Marrast, the mother of the late Armand
Marrast, the president of the Constituent Assembly,
died this morning at the age of 89. It is announced
that she will be buried to-morrow (Sunday). There
will doubtless be s great crowd at the funeral.
A meeting of the British residents of Paris, in aid
of the Nightingale Fund, will take place at the
British Embassy on Wednesday next, at 11 o'clock
in the forenoon, Henry Baring, Eaq., M.P., in the

A Paris letter in the Independance Beige says :" It
is rumoured that the judicial inquiry consequent upon
the recent numerous arrests in the Gironde, proven
that unitise timely measures had been taken the affair
would have become almost as serious as that of
Angers."
This morning at half-pest eleven, two cent gardes
on horseback in full uniform, one in the present dress,
and the other in the one proposed to be adopted,
were inspected by the Emperor in the Court of the
Tuileries. The change principally consists is the
substitution of pantaloons for the white breeches and
jack boots. His Majesty—whose movements were
watched by a crowd of spectators looking through
the railings of the Carrousel—passed nearly half an
hour in comparing the accoutrements of the two
horsemen, which he examined minutely in all their
details.
