PARII3,_I3ArtILDAT Ivthuio.

The ninth meeting of the Paris Conferimoe woe
bald to-day at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Prince Napoleon leaves Paris at sight to-
enerrow morning to pay his promised visit to the
agricultural, industrial, and artistic exhibition of the
astral departments, to be held at Limoges. Re
will be swam • by M. Emitter, the Minister of
Agriculture, and Public Works, and M.
de la Onerrouniere, who is President of the Council
Omura' of the Haute Vienne, and who will doubt-
less fulfil the duties of a "special correspondent"
attached to the expedition. It is rumoured that the
Prince is to make a speech at Limoges, which will
be a pendant to the celebrated mot pronounced by
tar Emperor at Bordeaux, daring his =rams for the
sniper', " L'Empire lest la Pain,
The Bourse has been dull, with little business
&sing. The effect of the official announcement of the
Queen's visit to Cherbourg teems to have been dis-
wanted beforehand. The Rents fell 10 for cash and
16 for account, closing at 68.30 and 68.36. Mobilier
MI 3.73. The Western Railway rose 51'.; the other
principal lines were from 1.25 to 2.50 lower.
The subscription lists for the 76 millions of rail-
way bonds closed at four o'clock this afternoon. The
total amount subscribed throughout France will not
be known till the middle of next week, but there
son be no doubt that it will vastly exacta the sum
required. A curious :act is stated in regard to this
mobecription. The regulations allowed the public to
ehoose the company whose bonds they preferred to
Lave. The imams majority have put down their
names for the Orleans bonds, neglecting those of the
Eastern, Western, and Fusion ; the ronsterette is
expected to be that very few of those who have sub-
embed to the Orleans will get more than 100 bonds,
while the allotments of bonds of the other three
eseepanies will perhaps extend to the greater part of
the number demanded. It is reported that a treaty
between the Orleans Company and the State was
signed last week, and that one with the Lyons Com-
pany wee signed yesterday. Tho neeggootia be-
tween the Lyons and Dauphine Companies are
broken of Dauphine valued its shams at 660, while
Lyons only offered 525.
The CrMit Foncier Society, which up to last
year had signally failed to accomplish the pu
for which it was founded several years ago, hasrCliii
doing much better since it has resolved to lend
m%
on real security only. During the first six
mo of this year its operations have amounted to
7,862,000 fr., or 1,277,000 fr. per month,
.against
1,966,000 fr., or 331,000 fr. per month, during the
lest six months of 1857.

The Regina Cceh arrived at Saint-Nasally cm July

their friends as they landed.

TRIAL AND CONDEMNATION OF TUN
MA.RQUIS DI CAKPANA.
(mom OWN OWN 0011NSPONDINT.)

ROMS, hay 6.
The great Campine, trial same to a conclusion
yesterday afternoon ! the criminal tribunal found
the marquis guilty of the percolation and abuse of
power attributed to him in his administration of the
Monts di Pieta, and condemned him in consequence
to the galleys—that is to say, imprisonment with hard
work for twenty years. It is not generally believed
that this sentence will be carried out in all its rigour,
nor is it expected that the marquis will be removed
as yet from his present place of confinement in the
prison of San Michele.
As a kind of codicil to this sentence, the criminal
tribunal has ordered the prisoner's advocate, Signor
Marchetti, to be suspended from the exercise of his
profession for three months, as a punishment for the
piquancy of his rejoinders and the warmth of his
expressions in defence of his client.
What will become of the museum is as yet a mys-
tery, but in case of the government preferring to
take possession of it, instead of endeavouring to sell
it to some foreign court or capitalist, it is stated that
the palace of St. John Lateran, where there is a
collection in coarse of formation, will be destined to
receive the unfortunate marquis's treasures of art
and antiquity.
At present the impression on peoples minds in
Horns seems to be that he has been more hardly
dealt with than the previous conduct and partial
connivance of the government would justi, bat
there can be no doubt that the mail-administration of
the establishment was on such an enormous seals as
to justify severity if compatible with legality. But
there is the point at issue. The advocate Mar-
ehetti's reasonings (and public opinion goes with
them) demonstrate that the marquis was only
amenable to a civil and not a criminal tribunal, and
that he could hardly be considered a robber, if he
seaurity and paid interest for the money he
"Rerllit-Mr. Lyons arrived at Porto D'Anxio on
Saturday morning, on board her Majesty's ship
Centaur, Captain Clifford, having lett Naples the
previous day. Mr. Lyons reached Rome early on
Sunday morning, and will remain here until Thurs-
day, when, having taken leave of his Holiness and
()ordinal Antonelli, he will start for Florence to
mums the post of minister plenipotentiary so
abruptly resigned by Mr. Howard.
