EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FSIDAT EYSNI/10.
The day of the Emperor's departure for Plomb Tres,
after being postpooed from the 25th to the 28'br
does not seem even yet to be positively fixed. The
Pays says it is announced that his Majesty will
leave on Monday or Tuesday, but I am told pri•
vately that he will probably not go before July 2,
on which day, u at present arranged, Cardinal
Pattizi will est out for Rome.

The Prinos Regent of Baden goes away to-mor-
row.

Count Walewski starts for Homburg (not Ham-
burg. u was errooeously stated) on the 4th of July.

The Bourse, still under the influence of the belief
that the Bank of France will reduce its discount, was
Him to-day. The Wet° roes 30c. both for cash and
account, closing at 71fr. 25c. and i ifr. 30c. The rate
of interest on the Bourse is very easy. Blink of
Prance therm were done at a rise of 100 fr. The
railways were all from dfr. to 10fr. higher.
Although many very handsome individual subscrip-
tions have been made for the victims of the imbeds.
tions, and although there are very long lists of small
sums, such as one franc, two francs, or three francs,
and even ten sons, given by kind hearted peretme,
many of whom doubtless can ill spare even those
trifling amounts, the sum total realised up to the pre-
sent time is but as a drop in the bucket compared
with the extent of the calamity. Four millions of
fetus, or 160,0001., are all that has yet been realised
from the voluntary taxation of all France,
and that is, relatively speaking, a small sum.
Fl'garo says, "to speak honestly, it is not
enough." And yet it would be to hug
delusion now to expect very much more. In all
public subscriptions the first burst of general
sympathy is the most productive. Of those who did
not unloose their purse strings when they read
the harrowing accounts from Lyons, Avignon,
Tours, and Augers, as they appeared fresh in the
columns of the newspapers when the waters were
still out, but few will give anything now that the
excitement is over and the (hods are matter of his-
tory. The mayor of the third arroadiasement of
Paris has just published a fresh appeal to his fellow
chinos. The example set by the Emperor and Ern.
preschesays, has been admirably followed, but on such
an occasion as this, " public charity should rise to the
height of the calamity to be repaired." Upon this the
Press* asks what is the extent in figures of the cala-
mity P and what the amount of the subscriptions?
Although these questions are asked with a view to
set up M. B. de Oirardin's hobby of universal
assurance, they are sot the less pertinent at the
present moment. It does seem to be practically
shown that public charity can do bat very little
towards indemnifying the sufferers by a great na-
decal disaster.

M. Crosnier (the manager of the opera), has been
nominated president, andVmoonnt Clary, meretary, of
the committee on the bill for settling 800,000. r.
Rentee on the Orleans princesses or their descend-
ants. On the Regency Bill, Count PortsNs le to
dram up the report for the Committee of the

A sale is to take place on July 3 and 4, at the
Auction Mart in the Hoe Dronot, of the works of
Dacornet, the extraordinary painter of Lille, recently
deceased, who was born without arms, and held his
brush either in his month or with his toes. The
product of the sal* will belong to Dsoornet's father,
who is seventy-eight years of age.

lo the Moniteior of yesterday the Prefect of the
Seine minutiae that he has jest received from the
Right Hoe. the Lord Mayor of the City of London
the announcement of a third payment of 100,000

francs, on the account of the subeeri ption opened at
Loodov, on behalf of the sufferers by the inundations,
and which subscription has already exceeded 450,000
francs. A list of subscribers published by the London
Committee appears at length in the Mosileur.
The amount of the French subscriptions, u far el
have yet been published, has reached the sum of
4,033,500 francs.

The following is a portion of our correspondent's
letter which did not arrive in time for our yeeter-
day's publication :

PARIS, TAVISDAT.
It hes been reported that the Bank of Franos
was disposed to follow the example of the Bank of
England and reduce its discount. The directors met
to-day and sat till a late hour. It is said that they
have been discussing a proposition for advancing re-
gularly a large sum of mosey every month to the
Syndicate to be employed in carrying over at rates
not exceeding 13 or 14 per cent. This measure
would manifestly tend to an advance in prices.
A third instalment of 100,000 tr. on acoonnt of the
London subscription to the fund for the inundated
has been received from the Lord Mayor.
Seven stonecutters were yesterday tried by the
Tribunal of Correctional Police for coalition. They,
it appeared, were in the service of a builder named
Leoglois, of La Valletta, and on the Bth of this month
they asked for, and 'Attained without the slightest
difficulty, an advance of 25?. a day ; but not content
with this, they two days after demanded by letter a
new augmentation of 25c., which would make the
day's wages sfr., and a diminution in the hours of
!above. M. Langloie consented to the increase of
wages, but not to the diminution in time, and there-
upon they immedia'ely struck work. The Tribunal
condemned the getter up of the coalition, a man
named Nicolle, to six mouths' imprisonment and 504
floe, and all the other accused to a month's imprison-
ment and 181. fine.

The Monoterr publishes the official return of the
average price of wheat during the last month, by
which the tariff of the breed is masted. The
highest price was 331. 2tic. per hectolitre in the mu-
kits of Bergsee, A•ras, Roy., Salmons, Paris and
Route ; and the lowest 291. 34c. in those of lieuetr,
Neaten and Murano. The ge for the whole of
?ranee is 311., being an advance of V. 17e. on the last
return.

Four members of the municipal couseil of Buoy lee
Gray (Aisne), named Matey, Deese, Lambio, aced
Noises, who were all known to entertain socialist
opinions, were brought three days ago before the
Tribunal of Correctional Police of Lam, for having
Moulted one of their colleagues named Pottier during
a sitting to which they had been convoked by the
mayor. Mazy was condemned to three days, and
the others to two days' imprisonment, and the four
jointly and severally to the costa.
The taking of the quinquennial moans in Paris has

min within the antra walls, and 1,800,000 within
W hrtilkations.
