EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PION OUR OWN OORRISTONDIOIT4
PARIS, THURSDAY BTENING.

Notwithstanding the almost positive announce-
ment in a leading article of your most powerful con-
temporary—that all chances of war are at an end—
I believe there is no change whatever in the situa-
tion. Preparations on a grand scale are going on,
the furloughs to which soldiers would in due course
be now entitled are adjourned. Several regiments have
received orders to hold themselves in readiness for
Rome, and not a reliable word has been uttered to
allay the panic which, in spite of necessary ups
and downs, still reigns supreme at the
Bourse. The Constitutionnel lays itself out to show
that the Austrian concession in the Servian affair,
which only two or three days ago it wu instructed
to represent as a great fact, is not salficient, and it
labours particularly to demonstrate that the other
powers ought not to be satisfied with it.
The Bourse was without any particular feature
to-day. A feeling of great uncertainty prevailed.
The pamphlet to which I have alluded wu dis-
cussed, but nothing one way or the other
could be made of it, and no doubt is
felt that between this and February 7, when
the Emperor's speech will be pronounced, a great
many political jack-olanterns will appear, and delude
numbers. The Rente, which was somewhat firmer
at the close than in the morning, left off with a rise
of 20c. for cash and Sc. for account, at 69fr. 30e. and
69fr. 20e. Mobilier rose 2fr. 60c. The Orleans
railway roes 10fr., and Southern 6fr. ; the other
lines left off at as nearly as possible yesterday's

PRUSSIA..

A communication from Berlin of the 18th says:
Uppm• or Pr.oisla, which has been
all along dissatisfied with the late change of ministry,
his began to manifest its discontent by acts. Its
first blow has been directed against a man held in
general estimation, M. de Zander, Chancellor of the
Kingdom and First President of the Tribunal of
the Province of Prussia. At the late elections, he
had voted at Kcenigeberg for M. Sunson, a partisan
of the new ministry, and it was through his influ-
ence that that candidate was elected. The Upper
Chamber has, in consequence, excluded M. de Zander
from all the commissions of which he had previously
formed part, and it even endeavoured to name him
Secretary to the Chamber, doubtless by way of de-
rision, for he is an old man, and such functions
usually devolve on the youngest members of parlia-
mastery assemblies."

those who denounced the proposition. We think
we perceire, in the leaning he now evinces towards
triple representation, an evidence of more matured
opinions on the subject; and for ourselves we are not
disinclined to see the experiment tried fairly, but
only in the permissive way to which he points.
The only exceptions among the counties to the
general rule referred to are South Lancashire and
Cork. These he divides in two, and proposes to confer
two members on each diviaion. We should be very much
disposed to give three members to each; and we
cannot divine by what rule of population or pro-
party West Cornwall or North Eeeex are to be mote
fully represented than East or West Lancashire :
neither do we understand why East or West Cork
should have but two members each, when Wexford
and Limerick are each to have three. The respite
extended by Mr. BRIGHT to places like Ennis,
Cashel, and Youghal seems to us wholly indefensible,
nor do we see any reason in the electioneering
history of Sligo or Athlone why they should be
retained. If trading towns have tot yet grown up
in Ireland as thickly as on this side of the Channel,
that is no reason for perpetuating burlesque boroughs
like those we have named. If it be right to give
three members to the city of Li:markt, regard being
had to its population and rateable property, it must
di fortiori be right to give three to each division of
the city of Dublin, which is four times as populous
and sight times as wealthy.

MILITAIT OTIICEIL.

Plaintiff ia a widow lady of conaideable property, and
defendant is a lieutenant-colonel of militia, reeding at
Bpilsby, in Lincolnshire. The action was brought to recover
demises sustained by reason of the detention by defendant of
certain articles deposited with Dim by plaintig, and which he
had neglected to return. No one appeared for defendant, who
suffered judgment to go by default.
Calmed for plaintiff mid that she was a widow lady
of good family and independent property. Amongst other
articles, eh* was at one time poseceed of a most valuable
est of marine silver plate. This plate was very old-
fashioned, and much more valuable then similar articles now
menufsetured. From some cause or another ehe, being
'bout to proceed on the Continent, was desirous of parting
with this property, and having known the defendant for
mese time she =Mooted him with the plate, and inatteeted
him to sell it for her if he could. Upon her return treat the
Continent she found that defendant had not sold the plats, and
not wishing then to pert with it she asked defendant to Wan
It. She was put off with excuses from time to time. At one
time she should hers it the next day, and at another time he
wrote that having lost a son she could not expect him then
to trouble about a est of plate. Finally, much against her
will, plaintiff had been driven to the present course. He
(the learned counsel) repeated that he had not the evidence
of • silversmith to offer to prove the value of the plate,
neither could he gin the weight. Mrs. Bastard, having
had to do with an officer and a gentleman, had not taken
seeps that would have proved most protective to hereelL As
it was, however, the Jury would receive each evidence as he
could give, and they would gin the highest sum, u there
was no proof that OantilFivelee was ea incorrect one. Some
years ages obimseysireep found a diamond in the street,
and thee being no owner he was adjudged the tlgbtful pos-
sessor. He took the diamond tee silversmith, mad offered it

MUSIC.

THE VOCAL ASSOCIATION.
Preparatory to commencing another season, the
plan of this association has undergone several alteration,. It
will continue to be, 114 it has been hitherto, a choral society
on • lugs scale, cunning chiefly of amateurs., and under
the able direction of Mr. Benedict. Effectual measures, we
WM, have been taken; to improve the quality of the chorus,
by greater strictness in regard to the sdmission of members,
and by a system of preliminary examinations, conducted by
Mr. Benedict himself, in order to test the qualifications of
candidates in respect to vocal powers and general musical
acquirements. The concerts are placed on a new footing.
They are to be twelve in number during the ~OS, and
of two kinds, dries and earns concerts, to take place
alternately, or nearly so. The first (en undress concert)
having taken place last evening; the second (dress) to take
place on the 9th of Febroary, and so on to the Bth of ;June,
which is the date of the last concert of this season• The sub-
scription for the sesson,which is exceedingly moderate. covers
the whole twelve series; and extra tickets for trines concerts
will also be issued. The two kinds of concerts will differ
very ranch in quality and in amount of attrac-
tion. The undress =meets (as appeared from
that of last evening) will consist of solo and part music, sung
by young performers, chiefly members of the association,
with no other accompaniment than the pianoforte. The
erns concerts (sa we learn feels the programme of that of
the 9th of February) will be on an extensive Kale, with •
great orchestra and chum, and the must eminent performers
of every kind ; while the selection will embrace every variety
of music, both vocal and instrumental. The canoed' an
held in St. James's-hall.
Last night's concert was very well attended, and seesawed
considerate interest. Of the young ladies, members of the
easociation, who sang solos, all were promising, and several
were much more. This ems particularly the case with Miss
Chipperfield, who sang • very fine air by Vivenot (a com-
poser unknown to us), accompeniedonthe violonoelloby Herr
Daubert, an excellent performer; with Miss Mann, who sang
Bishop's " Tell me, my heart ;" and with Miss Gresham,
who sang Weber's air from the FreiscAutx, . Uad ob die
Wolke," also with Herr Daubert's violoncello accompani-
runt, in addition to the piano. Several part songs were
extremely well sung—among them was Benedict's beautiful
" Forest Home," for female voices ; Meyerbeer's Choral Hymn,
"The Lord's Prayer" sung by the whole choir, without ac-
companiment, was an excellent performenoe—correet, smooth,
expressive, and admirably in tune; no small achievement,
coneiderieg the difficulty of sustaining • long piece of com-
plex harmony without any instrumental support. Miss God-
dard, who (albeit her name is not Arabella, but Susan) is a
pianist of • high order, played • solo, consisting of short
pie es by Chopin, Schumann, ►nd Enterer; end Herr
Daubed performed a solo on the violoncello.

CHINA.

The intelligence from China is unimportant.
Since the Earl of Elgin left Shanghai on a trip
up the Yangtzekiang, nothing authentic has been
heard of the expedition ; and as his lordship had
been absent four weeks when the mail steamer was
despatched, intelligence is looked for hourly.
His Excellency Baron Oros, Ambaleadeur Fran-
cais, left Shanghai on the 27th ult., in his Impe-
rial Majesty's ship La Place, bound to this port.
But the La Place had the misfortune to run into
the mud off one of the Chusan islands, and lost her
rudder; in consequence of which his Excellency
had to shift his quarters to her Majesty's ship
Nimrod (soon apprised at Ningpo of the accident),
and return to Shanghai. Thence the Baron and
suite again departed on the 7th, and finally arrived
here in the English mail-steamer Aden on the II th
instant. The La Place has been towed back to
Shanghai by her Majesty's ship Inflexible.
His Excellency Mr. Reed, United States' Com-
missioner, left this port for America on the Bth
instant. The Legation is now in charge of the
Chinese Secretary, Mr. S. Wells Williams, LL.D.
At Canton matters are progressing steadily,
though Major-General Sir C. T. Van Straubenzee's
policy of keeping the garrison closely confined within
the wall, is loudly decried.
The state of affairs at Ningpo is alarming. From

Foochow-too and Amoy reports are favourable.
A rather alarming fire broke out in the centre of
the city (Hong Kong), on the 6th December, and
only by the most extraordinary exertions were the
premises of the Oriental Bank Corporation kept
from destruction. One Roe building, the residence
and godowus of Messrs. Schaeffer and Co., mer-
chants, and offices of H. J. Tarrant, solicitor, was
totally destroyed, together with four othsr houses of
the style "compradoric."
Sir John Bowring left Hong Kong for Manila in
her Majesty's screw steamer Magicienne on the 29th
ult.—Friend of China, Dec. 16.

FEARFUL BOXIER EXPLOSION.

A fearful boiler explosion occurred upon the
Brunton and Shield. waggon-way on Monday. This line is
wrought by *tending ermines and incline, and the coals sent
down from the oollieries by it are shipped in the Northum-
berland-dock. An engine-man named William Brunton,
who wee both eugineman and fireman, was in charge of the
middle engine, and it appears that he had cleaned the boiler
' out on Saturday. He was working a set of laden eraggen
when the boiler exploded with fearful violence. It was lifted
from it. seat, and torn into four portions by the force of the
explosion. A large portion was thrown some distance across
three lines of railways. Another portion wee pitched against
the cottage occupied by Brunton and his wife, but indicted
no injury upon the inmates. A eel of waggons were being
run down en incline at the time the explosion occurred. A
portion of the boiler in its flight cut in two the rope that was
eating the waggons down the ve.y, and they immediately
commenced to run "amain." A woman end a girl were
riding upon them at the time, and as the speed of the wag.
gone increased they screamed moat piteously. The woman
Jumped out, but her legs got entangled with the loons
rope attached to the waggons, and she was thrown
down and dragged after them. Fortunately the lad who had
charge of the waggons had presence f mind to loose the
rope and throw it off, and thus save her from further injury.
A man belonging to the railway alto jumped up behind and
saved the girt. The semitone gathered speed as they got on,
and dashed down to Percy Main with considerable velocity,
where they cams into collieinn with some standing wag-
gons, and a considerable amount of damage was done. The
en,einnhouee was completely demolished by the explosion,
and poor Brunton was buried under the dos, is. A number
of men were employed to dig hit. out, and his body was
recovered an boar and a half after the accident. The poop
fellow was quite dead, and was dreadfully braised. The
cause of the explosion is not known, but it is supposed to
have been a deficiency of water in the boiler.

INDIA AND CHINA.

Calcutta and Hong Kong journals, in anticipation
of the Overland Mail, have come to hand by way of
Trieste. Their dates are, from Calcutta, 22nd of
December; Hong Kong, 16th of December.
The Calcutta Baylis/imam speaks desparagingly of
the military operations carried on under the Com-
mander-in-Chief, and asserts that the real object of
the government is " not to cut up the rebels, but to
ooeroe them into an acceptance of the promised am-
nesty." The Englishman adds, " While writing
this we learn that General Napier overtook
the force under Ferozeshah at Remade, and defeated
it with great slaughter, thus clearly proving that as
soon as the direct influence of the Commander-in-
Chief ceases, and generals act upon their own judg-
ment, a great and crowning victory is the result."
The Governor-General had made up his mind to

return to the Presidency, and his establishments
had received orders to hold themselves in readiness.
His lordship wu expected to arrive in Calcutta by
the 14th of this month; he will resume the office of
President in Council, hitherto held by the Hon.
John Peter Grant. The Lieutenant-Governor was
still in the districts on his official tour. The Rajah
of Shahgurh has been pardoned by government.

AUSTRIAN ITALY.

A letter from Milan Oates that the arrival of
fresh troops continues. Everything is in movement.
The board of the United Railway Companies has
received orders from Vienna to dismiss instantly
thirteen of its officials specially named, one of whom
was the chief engineer, Professor BolH, a son of the
chief director of all the primary colleges in Lom-
bardy. The managing director of the railway at
went to the Archduke Maximilian, and repre-
sented to him that at the present moment he could
not guarantee the regular running of the trains if he
were to dismiss the officers in question. The Arch-
duke caused his representation to be telegraphed to
Vienna; the answer was, that the director, in case
he wanted them, must immediately appoint fresh
officers, but that the parties named were to be die-
missed forthwith. The Prussian Gazette adds, that
the individuals thus summarily dismissed had Aiken
au active part in the last revolution.
The Opinions of Turin of the 22nd, in canvassing
the question of peace or war, states that France has
consented to certain concessions to England in
return for the neutrality of that power in the Italian
question, and is of opinion that England will never
enter into a war for the purpose of supporting
Austria. The neutrality of England will simplify
the question considerably, since Prussia also will
certainly prefer being a looker-on to risking her for-
tunes in a war. The Italian question, the writer
concludes, has ceased to be a revolutionary one; it
is now a political and international one, and cannot,
to; before, lead to a general war ; its solution will be
a guarantee of durable peace, which Austria is using
every effort to prevent.

Miss Crsik's new story is s good one, and
it may be pointed out as worthy of imitation,
that she has considerably enhanoed its merits
by throwing into one volume materials which
would have required dilution, and the other oon-
trivanoes for " writing against space," to make
up the conventional number of three. This is the
more commendable as in " Lost and . Won".

getting in vogue with novella's, and is adopted, we
suppose, for the same generous reason which 00We
sionally induces the manager of a theatre to give us
a double harlequinade in a pantomime. The other
characters, however, are very few, and the plot is
very simple. Hope Graham, who tells us the story,
