A correspondence from Milan in the Opinions
says that the Archduke M►ximilian, who had flattered him-
self that b• warn winning hearts end breaking down Lombard
antipathy to Austrian rule, has discovered that he wee mis-
takes, that the adhesioas ha had obtained were the result of
premiere, and that the few Italians who had placed them-
selves among his courtiers were scouted and eves Mantled by
their countrymen. "xis political campaign," says the eor-
respondent, "conducted with so much expense and activity,
has proved a complete Wars, end the prince does not eon-
real his displeasure, while the court clique inveighs ageing
the adverse party, and talks of severe useentree."

TIM WESTMINSTER ABBET SERVICES.—The

brad. the prayers being said by the Rev. J. C. Haden,
the emcee or; and the lessons read by the Very Rev. Dr.
Cbonevir Trench, Dean of Weetretneer. The

Bishop of St. Andrew's, and brother of Dr. Christopher
Wordsworth, a mean of Westminster, sal formerly master
of literrow School. The service throughout was beautifully
given, the chairing being under the direction of the Rev.
Thomas Elmore, M.A., of her Majesty's Chapel Royal. The
memos was eloquent and very long—not a very deeituble
uglification, wandering the Intense cold which prevailed
yrwaghnst the abbey, and which kept the congregation in
• shiver during upwards f two hours.

_ PARIS, SUNDAY EYININO.
This afternoon, thrr court carrier' were sent
from the Tuileries 4 the Hotel da Leahy*, to fetch
the ambassadors from the two Kings of Siam, who
were received in state by the Emperor.
Prince Maharaja Dhuleep Sing, ex-King of La.
bore, has arrived at the Hotel du Louvre.

It was by mistake that several of the French
papers announced the presence of Ferukh-Khan,
the Persian Ambassador, at the funeral of Prince
Mina of Oade. it. arrived at Vienna from Italy on
March 3. His uncle, Mires Zaman Khan, accom-
panied by several attaelds of the Persian Embassy,
paid a visit yesterday to the young Prince Moham-
mad Hamid My Mina, at the Hotel Laffitte. The
prince goes to London to-morrow to continue to
prosecute his claims for the restitution of the king-
dom of Gads. Since the death of his uncle he has
assumed the title of Iskeader-hichmet, which two
words signify, we ate told, " he whose pomp and
magnificence is equal to that of Alexander the
Great."

The new Minister of the Interior does not, it
appears, desire is claim credit for all the measures
due to his zeal and activity. The Biiele yesterday
contained an advertisement informing its readers
that its permission to be sold in the streets " having
been withdrawn by as Minister of the Interior,"
numbers of the journal might be bought at certain
places therein mentioned. The wording of this
announcement has been changed by authority, and
in the Slide of this day, the allusion to the minister
is replaced by the vague averment that the Sad*
" cannot any longer be sold in the streets"—the
public being left to guess the reason why.
A letter from Eituttgardt of March 2, mays :
The father of the inventor of the fulminating shells which
were used on Janeery 14 hie been interrogated by the police.
Hie amplanatione were so estietaistory that it was not thought
necessary to sand for the inventor himself, who is a native of
Stuttgardt, but now living in another town, where he car-
ries at the bode of a mover sad gilder. The shale were
sold at Carlaruhe, during the Crimean war, to • foreigner
who gave himself out as an armorer, and the inventor little
thought of the use to which they WON to be put.

It might be thought from the above paragraph
that the shells sold at Carlsruhe were the identical
ones used by Orsini and his accomplices, but these,
Re know, were made at Birmingham.

M. Gastineau, the editor of the Guetteur de St.
Quentin, a journal of Republican tendencies, has
been arrested. As he belongs to the category of
persons formerly charged with political offences, to
whom the new law of " public safety " applies, it
is probable that he will be summarily dealt with u
an " expectant."
A Piedmonts's, named Bono, a ticket porter at
Lyons, was tried by the Assize Court of the Rhone,
on Thursday, for au attempt to murder by means of
an infernal machine. Having • grudge against
another porter, named La Chapelle, he sent
a box to his lodgings directed to him.
Chapelle and his wife fancying that the box
contained presents for their children, hammed to
open it 'with great glee, but no sooner was the key
(which was fastened outside by a string) put into
the keyhole than the box bunt with a loud ex-
plosion, and one of the children was wounded in
the face. Bozzo had placed in the box two loaded
pistols, the triggers of • hich he had tied to the bolt
of the lock, calculating that as soon as it was
turned both would go off. One only did go off in
point of fact, u it happened, and, fortunately the
wounds received by the child were not serious. It
was, however, proved that the pistols were loaded in
• most deadly sinner. Bozzo was found guilty,
and sentenced to bard labour for life.
The plan of building a monster theatre on the
ground between the Quai de Givres, the Place du
, Chitelet, and the Avenue Victoria, which was to
have been called the Theatre do People, is aban-
doned. The municipality, to whom the ground
belonged, has rescinded the contract with MM.
Place and Dennoy, by mutual consent. Ordinary
houses will now be built upon the site.
M. Outlet, the landlord of Meurice's Hotel, died
yesterday. -

PARIS, KeruanAT Ewrrn•,

At the Bourse the Rente, after having been
languishing during the greater part of the day,
became very firm at the close, in consequence of a
report that the negotiations which have been going
on all the week between France and England had
taken a favourable turn. Some people affirmed
positively that the English note in answer to Count
Walewaki's despatch would arrive in Paris on Mon-
day. A good many considerable purehases were
made, and the Rente closed with a rise of 10c., both
for cash and account, at 69 10 and 69.26. Mobilier,
after some fluctuation, left off firm at yesterday's
price. The railways fell in the morning, and
although the market afterwards improved con-
siderably they did not altogether recover their lost
ground. Orleans left off with a fall of 10f., Western
6, and Northern 1.25. Lyons, however, rose 5,
Southern. 7.50, and Eastern 2.60. The Credit
Foncier Company has given notice that it reduces
from the Ist March to 4 per cent. the interest on all
advances which it makes on its own bonds.

Orsini has received permission to write to his
Slimily, and also to have an interview with his sister,
who is expected in Paris this evening.
The Procureur-General has, I am informed, trans-
mitted to M. Bollard, a French advocate residing in
Loudon, a quantity of additional evidence against
Bernard and Allsop, with a request that ha will
make it known in the proper quarter.
The Marquis de Pidal, the newly-appointed Spa-
nish ambassador to the Court of Rome, arrived in
Paris yesterday with his suite, en rouge for his post.
Tbs Univers, which doubtless has the best infor-
mation on such matters, says that the number of
converts to popery in England within the last few
years includes three duchesses, one marchioness, two
oountesses, eight right houourable ladies (sic.), ten
baronets, two archdeacons, eighty-five clergymen,
and two hundred and seventy-two distinguished
members of the aristocracy. In order to enhance
the value of these conversions, the organ of the
jesuits observes that " titles in England are not
usurped by the prosier uric, u they are in France.
They are, therefore, real countesses sod viscountesses
wbo have quitted the established church, and in-
curred the displeasure of their Queen for conscience
sake."
