It might have been expected that,with the election

vestry board on Friday evening, the contest which has

was still vested in the perithioun generally. On Saturday,
however, a placard was issued, *Weed by the Rev. Mr.

EXPRFSS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, SUNDAY Ilyarniro.

M. Ember, the Minister of Public Works, whose
arrival at Marseilles has been announced by tele-
graph, is about to examine personally the works
going on for the amelioration of the mouths of the
Rhona and intends to study the projects for a second
line of railway between Marseilles and Avignon,
and for the making of the Saint Louis Canal.
The following is the autograph letter sent by the
Emperor of Russia to Count de Moray, together
with the insignia of the order of St. Andrew :
In testimony of my particular sateen fee yourself, and
In cous;deratiow of the friendly relations so happily re-
established between Ruda and France, I have, on the day
of my solemn coronation, umaisated you a Haight of the
Order of St. Andrew, the Insignia of which I herewith
thud you. ALILNDII.

In the course of a recent speech at an agricultural
meeting, M. Troplong, the President of the Senate,
alluding to the Emperor's visits to the inundated
districts, said:
History tells us that our ancient kMge were wont to touch
patients for the scrofula, the meaning of whisk ceremony
was that the monarch should be to hie afflicted sahjeets
the most zealous of all physician. There fs, however, a
better manner of fulfilliag this pious duty, and t►e Emperor
hmehown us how, in this age of enmity to superstition, the
sorts of a people are to be touched and healed.

A snb.lientenant of the Artillery School at Metz,
M. Thuillier, who was killed a few days since in a
I duel, was buried on the 10th, without the rites of
the church. The general commanding the dis-
trict, the Mayor of Metz, and a large con-
course of officers and private individuals, fol-
lowed the corpee to the grave, and a very
painful sensation was created in the town by the
strict enforcement, on this occasion, of a rule which
the church is often content to forget.
The Madrid lettere and papers have not arrived in
Paris to-day.

PARIS, SATURDAY Eviumnro.

I am enabled to give a positive contradiction to the
report of the Austrian Gautta that the King of
Naples had written autograph letters to Queen Vico
toria and the Emperor Napoleon offering to submit
the Neapolitan question to the Paris Congress.
According to the most recent news from Naples, de-
rived from the very best source, the King is firmly
resolved not to make the slightest concession. I
have very little doubt that the naval demonstration
in the Bay of Naples will, after all, be made, and
that France will join in it, although reluctantly and
with an arritire penafe.
Prince Napoleon is about to publish a book, illus-
trated with numerous engravings, giving an account
of his recent tour in the north ot Europe.
The Emperor, in order to give a proof of his soli-
citude for the working climes at Lyons, has just
given an order for silk stuffs, of Lyons manufacture,
to the value of 100,000 [ranee.
The Bourse has been firm to-day. The Rents
opened at a considerable advance, with a moderate
' business doing. The rise brought forward sellers,
and a slight reaction took place about half-pest two
o'clock, but there was afterwards a brisk recovery,
and the closing prices were 67.16 for cash and 67.30
for account, being a rise of 40 and 55. Bank ot
France shares roes 150. Credit Mobilise rose 20f.
Railways were firm, but in less demand than the
Rent.. They improved from sf. to 10f.
I am just informed that Grellet, one of the cashiers
of the Northern Railway, who, as you are aware, is
accused of having robbed the company to an enor-
mous amount, has been arrested at New York. Ocie
of the detective officers sent in pursuit of him was
struck with the appearance of a man in the streets
wearing white tromps's, which, it seems, are not
common in New York. He followed him into the
house of a M. Belmont, an agent of Messrs. Roths-
child, where Orellet, little thinking that he had been
tracked, was in the act of changing some paper. The
capture was then and there effected. °tenet's bro-
ther, and a M. Perot, two of the parties suspected to
be accomplices in the robbery, have also been arrested
at New York.
