EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TIMDAY ETINIXO.

The Presto, announces that the Corps Legielatif
will be opened on the 4th or sth of February in the
new gallery of the Louvre.
The inauguration of the vast new barracks at the
Chateau d'Eaa, which was adjourned on December
2 in consequence of the Emperor's prolonged stay at
Compiegne, is now fixed for December 15.
It is stated in the government journals that Baron
Oros has made a treaty with Japan a, favourable to
Prance in all respects as that concluded by Lord
Elgin is to England.
It is probable that the Moniteur will shortly
publish a decree making some important reforms in
the judicial organisation of Algeria. The Prince
Napoleon wishes to give more power to the judges,
and to diminish that of the public prosecutor. The
latter will, I am told, be deprived of some of his
present prerogatives, which enable him to make
arbitrary arrests, and his attributes generally will
be assimilated to those of the Procnreur-Oeneral in

--
France. The Court of Appeal of Algiers will be
placed under the direction of a First President, with
rank analogous to that of the First President of the
Imperial Court of Paris.
Complaints are made that telegrams from Madrid,
besides being habitually late, are generally full of
mistakes. It is not true that a vote of censure on
the ministers bad been carried in the Senate.
General Sauz made a motion for a vote of renew*,

bat without any chance of &oceans, and the Senate
named a committee to draw up an address to the
throne, entirely in conformity with the government
programme.
The Daily News was seized to-day. The Times
was allowed to pale, although it reproduced from
the Saturday Review the terrible philippic, in re
Montalembert, for which the latter journal was
seized on Sunday. Such are the inconsistencies
which the French government is constantly falling
into when it vainly attempts to prevent those
Frenchmen who care to know what is said by the
English journals from gratifying their curiosity.
They confiscate a young weekly paper, of which,
notwithstanding its great merits, very few copies
come to France; and they allow the obnoxious
articles of that very paper to be circulated by an
old-established daily print, which is received in
every considerable town throughout the empire.
The aspect of the Bourse was altogether changed
to-day. All kinds of securities were iv demand, and
a considerable rise was effected. The word
"effected" is, I believe, peculiarly appropriate in
the present instance. The Credit Mobilier, jealous
of the projected new imperial bank, put in motion
all its vast machines,' to act upon the market, in
order to impress the government with an idea of its
power, and to make a bidding for its gratitude.
Tue Rents rose 80c. for cash and 700. for account,
closing at 73fr. 100. and 73fr. 20c. (ex div.) Mo.
biller itself rose 33fr. The railways were wonder-
fully firm. Orleans rose 10fr. ; Northern, Ofr.;
Eastern, 12fr. 50c.; Lyons, Bfr. 750.; Southern,
13fr. 76e.; and Western, 7fr. 60e.

There in now in course of investigation in India I,
the story of another interject sad eyewitness of the =MAWS I
of Cawnpors. He is • half-oast* Christian named Fitcheh.
When the mutiny broke out he wee • musician in the baud
of one of the native Wintry regimeete at Cawepore, awl in ,
the general murex, be saved his life by proclaiming
that he would beams • Mahometan, which he did by
en
easy process almost on the spot. Be remained hi
Canavan, and wee enrolled in the Nane's form,
with which be did duty. He destines that he frequently
sew His. Wheeler, the daughter of the General,
at Fittteltehur. and that she travelled with •
Sower who bed taken her from Cawnpore—say,
more, that he was shown into the room when she
wee, and ordered to read extract, from English newspapers
which the rebels received from Calcutta, he being employed
by them for the purpose of translating the news, in which,
particularly that ratting to the progress of the war in Chita,
they took great interest. She had • horse with an English
side saddle which the Sower had procured for her and she
rode rhea beside him, with her face veiled, along the line of
march. When the British approached Futtelighur, orders
Wale sent to the Sower to &v. Mime Wheeler up, but he
Nos* with her at night, and it is supposed he went whit
her to Calpes. In that case it is thought possible that the
unfortunate young lady may he still alive, moving about
with Tenth Topes, and that we may rescue her from her un-
happy lath—Times.
It is presumed that the message of the President
oldie Called Staten will have been delivered yesterday at
sR Weeidngton. In that ease it may be expiated by the
Atria, which will leave New York for Liverpool to-day, and

Yesterday a court, at which Sir R. W. CARDEN
madded ma lasseri laws for the Lord Mayor, who was absent
from illness, was held for the despatch or pub& business.

Upon the motion of Sir J. Mcsonova, seconded by Alder-
man WitaoN, the following letter, which was read by the
Deputy Town Clerk, was ordered to be laid before the Com-
mittee of Justice/4 and a oopy of it to be transmitted to the

nience what has been done in the matter.—l am, sir, year
moot obedient servant, "H. WADDINGTON.

t that,
..
he would succeed, by presenting the rid petition,
in inducing me to offer him money to abandon it." Kr,
Hancock, the respondent's solicitor, produced two
receipt. for the respective sums of 3001., and
391. lie. 2d. The first was "Received the 14th April,
1853, of Mr. Stevens, 11001., being a consideration for all
matters in dispute between us to this day inclusive," the
wood, " Rewired of Mr. Stevens 891. Ile. 25., balance of
coconut, and in settlement of all disputes between us."
• These documents were signed . Isaac Solomon."
The petitioner was than sworn, and =mined as follows:
The Recorder—ls the signature to the receipt for
391. Its. 2d. your handwriting ?
Petitioner (looking at the domment)—Well, I should
r era it was not.

writing ?
Petitioner—Well, I an swear that it la not my hand-

writing. Recorder

Petitioner (after inspecting the document)—l believe

The Recorder—Bet you must know whether ft is or
not. You must know whether you ever signed it or no.
Petitioner—That is not my handwriting.
The Recorder—Did you ever see either of these papers

Petitioner —I never maw those papers before, to the beet
el my belief.
The Recorder—Did yea maim the 391. lis. 24. ?
Peltdater—Tea, at tie asme time that I received the 3001.

The Recorder and the aldermen compared this signature
with those to the receipts.
Yr. Stevens, jun., was then summed on behalf of the
respondent.
Mr. Hanoock—Were you present on the 14th April when
sums of 3001. and 391. He. 2d. were paid to Mr. Solomon
Witness—Yee.
Mr. Hancock—TM he in your presence sign the receipts
produced
Witmer—Yes, both of them.
Cross-examined by Mr. Le Breton—The receipts were
read over to the petitioner more than once.
Alderman CorELAND—The question *niter the admission
of the pentiuer himself that he received the 3001. and the
391. lie. 2d., whether the court will proceed any further in
the matter. The use has sunned an aspect each as I have
never before witnessed in the course of my 30 years' expe-
rience her.. On the one hand we have the positive evidence
of the petitioner that these receipts do not bear his signature,
and on the other there is the positive evidence of a man who
saw him sign them. In adde to this, there is the admis-
sion of the petitioner himself that he received the money.
I cannot conceive that anything more frightful ever came
before the court, sad I for one think we ought to impound
these receipts. I move that the petition be ftmissed.
Alderman SIDNEY Noonded the motion, which was carried
unanimously.
The court, after being cleared of strangers, remained in
deliberation nearly an hour, when the public were re-admitted,
it being understood that the City Solicitor bat been ordered
to Indict the petitioner for perjury.
EMANUEL HOBP ITAL.
