LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE MOLEST OF STUDENTS IN PARIS• .
The Paris correspondent of the indepeadante

says :
There are so many reports in circulation about the stu-
doubt who have been arrested that I shall abstain from
repeating them. I will only say that if some of those
who were at first arrested have been set at libuty, a larger
number has been arrested within the last two days amongst
various classesin the same part of the city. Amonpt the
students arrested the following names are men. I
tinned : Jamas*, whose father is a magistrate ;
Levrault, whose father was =humidor in Naples
in 1848 ; and Livallee, son of rich merchant of Bordeaux.
It is said that in consequence of information ooming
from abroad the police are on the trios of a society
which is connected with the Working-men's Association
of Geneva. But this is very unlikely, and we must wait
for time to throw more light on an affair which has proba-
bly more of childishness than culpability about it.

DESERTERS FROM THE ROMAN LEGION.
It may be remembered that a decided denial was
officially given to the intelligence published by
the Opinion Nationale in a letter from Viterbo
concerning the foreign legion. The Toulonnais
now contains a communication from Marseilles,
thus conceived :
The affair of the soldiers of the legion of Antibes has
greater gravity than the journals of Paris attribute to it.
These men not only would not recognise the papal flag
and displayed that of France, but they considered it an
insult to become the soldiers of the Pope. Some have
deserted and crossed the frontier into Italy, the others
have mutinied and demanded to be sent back to France.
Two hundred and sixty soldiers and non-commissioned
officers of this select corps arrived at Marseilles on the
morning of the Bth. As soon as they disembarked they
were conducted to Fort St. Nicholas, where they await the
orders of the Minister of War, to whose jurisdiction, how-
ever, they had named to be subject.
A letter from Viterbo, in the Journal de Brux-
elles, a religious journal, contains the following :
The revolutionary organs are making a great event of
the desertions which have taken place among the soldiers
of the legion of Antibes, in garrison here. The fact un-
fortunately cannot be denied ; it exists, but not to the
extent stated by those journals. Up to the present day,
sixty-four soldion have abandoned the pontifical flag, to
pose over to the Italians. Their defection is said to have
been purchased at a high price by the revolutionists of
Viterbo. But there is reason to hope that the measures
adopted by Colonel d'Argy, as well as a crime committed
by the malcontents of Viterbo on a soldier of the legion,
have decidedly put an end to that state of things.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, MONDAY EVENIND.

The Mhnnrial de la Loire has a story which mad
perhaps not be a canard, but which I should be
sorry to guarantee. At Bourg, Argental, the place,
by the way, where one eats the best cheese it
France, and not far from St. Etienne, lives a M.
Lucien Tracol, who is said to have discovered the
method of making silk direct from the mulberry
tree without the intervention of the silkworm. N
hint is given of the process by which this
effected—something probably analogous to that of
spinning a yarn; but one cannot help asking one
self, if it should be adopted what will become
the silkworms, whose food is thus taken out
their mouths I

The commercial returns for the first nine months
of the year show an increase not proportional t
that which has marked the development of Bran
trade, but still very satisfactory as showing the ii
creasing prosperity of our nearest neighbour. TI
imports for the first nine months of the last thr4
years were of the aggregate value in pounds sterlii
stated in the following table :
