have renewed, in a more ocandidoes moaner, during a
marl representation of I►orrsa, the scones which
seearred la the first representation. It was no
kept murmurs and whisperiege, but groans and
mass at all kinds, which completely drowned the voles of
Madsen Grid and Msrio. The uprose was at its height at
the commeemearet of the duet in the famed ad. Potatoes
were thrown from the upper galleries, falling at the feet of
1141sa Oriel end raboundiog into the pit. The public
fa the boxes and other parts of the house Toes
failignantly to protest against such an outrage, but Madame
Grist withdrew, her face bathed in tears. Mario sttrmpted
for some seconds to blare the atone, but was obliged to leave
the stage. Oa. of the caspicy44 of the theatre came forward
to announce that the performance would not be continued,
Madame Grist having feinted away, overcome with emotion.
The authorities were quite impassive."

PARIS, SUNDAY EYDNINO.

Notwithstanding the persistent rumours—which
are undoubtedly encouraged by the French foreign-
office—that the conclusion of a treaty at Zurich and
the convocation of a congress are both imminent, I
observe that a Paris correspondence in the Nerd of
Brussels, dated only the day hofore yesterday, and,
consequently, subsequent to the news accredited in
London on Thursday morning, affirms that the ques-
tion of the Sardinian debt involves a difference of
no less thin 200 millions of francs, and expresses a
belief that Austria is acting in bad faith, and will
delay the signature of the treaty. The .A'ord at-
taches great importance to this correspondence,
which bears the signature " F."

General Dabormida bad an interview with the
Emperor at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

There is a rumour, which I only give u such, that
the paragraph sent La all the journals stating that
Prince Napoleon has only gono to England to see
the Great Eastern is a blind, and that he has a
mission from his imperial cousin to see Queen
Victoria, ar.d talk to her about the affairs of Italy.
The Univers publisms the Lillowing solemn pro-
test against the notice lately served upon the jour-
nals that they awe not to publish the bishops' pas-
toral letters :

For the last two day. the UN:rell has not published any
circulars or mandates of our lord, the bishops, touching the
situation of the sovereign pontiff. Not that this manifeita-
tion of the hearts end minditof catholic. has ceased to Bow on,
but we have received an injunction from the government
not to reproduce any more of their document., end this
injunction is particularly serious, when we reflect that this
journal has lamly receival a warning. Under these circum-
stances we owe a word of explanation to our reader., and
more especially to those veritable prelates who have done us
the honour to send their mandated to tut. The names of
these, up to the present time, are Cardinal Donald, Arch-
bishop of Lyons, and the Biattops of Moulins, Venues,
Mesons, Quimper, Nevers, Versailles, and Dios. The
iojunciion alluded to appears to us essentially temporary.
The object of it, we am told, is to protect the acts and
the dignity of the bishops from the violence of the news-
papers; but It should be remembered that the word
of the bishops him been the mainstay of all catholice
is every serious crisis of the church and of
society within the last thirty years. That word
hem never made itself heard without provoking,
Mat this day, a torrent of abuse. It, however, never rive
way, but, on the contrary, has always prevailed ; because it
is inspired by, and in Its turn Inspires, the most noble semi-
matte. The government of Napoleon 111. has always pro-
famed the utmost respect for the rights of the church. It is
difficult to conceive that he can wish to deprive the bishops
of that publicity by means of the pram which is open to all
the test of the world, or to deprive catholic. of that collec-
tea voice of their chief pastors which has ever so strongly
inculcated the lova of order, justice, and liberty. For our
own parte, if this prohibition is to continue, we shall con-
sider that the most precious part of civil and re-
ligious liberty Is taken sway from us. In such
a cam we should be without guide, compass, or shield,
and should expect at no distant time to see the catholic
press without any place in that vast field of public discussion
in which it is our desire honourably to do our duty up to the
Let possible moment.

The Opinion Nationals—so far seconding the pro-
test of the Univers—thinks it "not imprudent to
demand liberty for the enemies of liberty."
The Kord, in a paragraph which, having regard
to known extraneous circumstances, is very curious,
adverts to the fact of its number of Saturday having
been seized in Paris, owing to the deductions which
it had drawn from the imperial speech as to the
probable consequences of prolonged obstinacy on the
part of the court of Rome. In a high and confident
tone it throws the responsibility of the seizure of the
Nord upon the authority " which had recourse to
it," and declares that neither official measures nor
the manoeuvres of its "enemies" will cause it to de-
viate from its course. Now the ltord is certainly
the organ, as to French politics, of one of the many
parties which exist in the inner circle of the imperial
councils, and by its" enemies" it probably alludes to
ministers who do not pull well with its immediate
patrons. To-day's number, containing the above re-
monstrance and haughty repetition of the original
offence, is not seized, so that in all probability cer-
tain authorities have been rt minded of the proverb,
"dog doss not eat dog."
The Daily News was seized yesterday, on account
of its containing Moraines letter to the King of Sar-
dinia. To-day the Times and several other English
journals which reproduced the urns document were
impounded; but they were afterwards released,
though at a very late hour.
The Ocean of Brest announces that the squadron

PARIS. SATURDAY ZVI-NINO.

Recent letters from Rome speak of the Pope, and
even of Cardinal Antonelli, as now promising re-
forms. This tardy repentance is much to be dis-
trusted.

There is a report that France and England, in
identical diplomatic notes, have strongly urged the
King of Naples to proclaim the constitution, threat-
ening to withdraw their envoys in case of non-
compliance.

At the Bourse this morning, before the opening
of bushiest, the Syndic of the stockbrokers read
to his colleagues a decree, which it is supposed
will appear in the Moniker to-morrow or next
day, authoti.ing each broker to appoint one or two
clerks (or assessors as they have been called by anti-
cipation) to do business under the responsibility of
their principals, and not in any case on their own
account. Their functions are not to be transmissible.
1 They will be permitted to do business two hours be-
, fore, and two hours after regular hours—that is to
my from 11 to 1 and from 3 to 6. The rate of
brokerage will, it is believed, be reduced from 60
'to 40 francs per 3,000 f. of lento., and from to
1-16 upon shares, and no brokerage is to be
charged for carryings over on the 13th of the
month. It is thought that the assessors will be
permitted to revive the practice of the old Culisse
or dealing in little premiums dent 25c. and She.
for the current Bourse or fur the next day. The
adoption of the system of amours, which, after
having been a long while on the lapis, was supposed
till very lately to have been abandoned, has pro-1
ducted a great sensation, and the working of it is
looked forward to with considerable curiosity. It is
generally looked upon as in substance the re-esta-
blishment of the Cbulsue, but with additional gua-
rantees to the public. Some people anticipate much
difficulty in regulating the relations between the
assessors and their principals. The former will in
most, or at least in very many cases, be men who
will bring business through their own personal in-
fluence and connexions, and of course will ex-
pect a handsome share of the profits. The
general hope, however, is that the new mea-
sure will give a great &titanium to transac-
tions and arouse the Bourse from the torpor in
which it has been lapped since the abolition of the
Couliue. To-day a good deal of business wu done, the
news of a coming congress and the speedy signature of
a treaty of peace at Zurich being freely discounted.
The Rears rose 20c. fur cash and 30c. for account,
closing tat 69.761. and 69.801. hlobilier rose 12.601.
The Orleans and Lyons Railway shares were again
in considerable request, and rose respectively 12.501.

Rear Admiral I)npony has left Paris for London
on a special mission, supposed to relate to the Chino

expedition. Although several French journals
repeatedly gave lists of land and ma forcer, alleged
to be destined for that service, it is now said that
nothing was definitively settled about the matter—
not even the principle of the expedition so far as
France was concerned, until the Emperor's return to
St. Cloud the other day.
Prince Napoleon lett for England to-day, and is
expected back in Paris to early as Wednesday next.
There is nothing of a political character in hie jour

The Prince and Princess de Chimay have arrived

The Journal de Charleroi says: " Prince

November. Grand hunting matches will take place
in the forest on the occasion. Extensive prepara-
tions aro being made at the chateau, where the
Prince de ehimay is expected very shortly."

The lioniteur publishes the general official return

with the corresponding period of 1858, there is a
decrease of 12,988,0001. ; and with that of 1857 an
increase of 18,111,000 f. The items of revenue in
the present year which show an. improvement on
the preceding one are—duty on potable liquors
7,680,000 E, import duty on foreign sugar 6,368,000 f.,

PARMA, Ocr. 11.

The day before yesterday I heard that Count
Walewsky had sent orders to Cavaliers Paltrinieri,
the French Consul at Parma, to leave this city if the
government of the Dictator did not immediately
adopt measures which would lead to the severe
punishment of the authors of Count Anviti's murder.
As soon as I heard of this fact I hastened to Parma,
with the object of observing both the conduct of the
government and of the Parmesans on such an im-
portant occasion. On my arrival here I was glad to
find that Commendatore Farini had already begun to
not even before he had received the Count Walewsky's
pressing communication. The Parmabrigade had been
removed to Modena, and a Tuscan one, together with
100 Carabinieri, had arrived during the night to take
its place. The majority of the Permute troops
belong to that class of society which under the late
government gave the most active and audacious
members to the secret political societies. The first
intention of Cavaliers Cavallini, the Governor of
Parma, was that of ordering the arrests of the sus-
pected authors of the murder ; but, being a stranger
to Parma, he was obliged to listen to the ad-
vice of his colleagues. He was implored not
to put in jeopardy the tracquillity of the
town, and was told that by revenging then Count
Anviti's murder he would undoubtedly throw Parma
into a greater and more bloody calamity. Now.
however, that the Dictator Farini is on the spot, he
will show to Europe that a severe retribution awaits
the wretched men who have so greatly dishonoured
the unspotted cause of Italian freedom. The seven
days which have elapsed were not lost by him, and
I am now in a position to state that the police are
' already on the track of the leading actors in the
drama of Wednesday evening.
Although the Dictator of Parma is not a man who
would shrink from his duty, it is clear enough that
his task is cot a very easy one. If in this regrettable
affair he has decided to act strictly in accordance
with the law, he must send the suspected authors of
Count Anviti's murder before the tribunal of PUMA.
A prosecution will be then began, bat it will be ex.
tremely difficult to get the legal proof of the crime.
We hear from Rome that the Pope and Cardinal
Autonelli have not lost the hope of bringing back
the Legations to their holy yoke. Before leaving
Bologna I was told that Count Colloredo has written
to his Holiness that in a few months the authority
of the Holy See will be re-established there. How
this can be done I am unable to state, for without the
intervention of a foreign army it is quite impossible
that Europe should succeed in forcing upon the
Romagna the hated government of the yriests.
Count Colloredo and European diplomacy no doubt
reckon upon the anarchy of the Italians, but I have
too much faith in their good sense and patriotism
not to feel certain that the hopes of their enemies
will never be realised.

AUSTRIAN FINANCE.

The following extraordinary notice has been pub-
lished by the Austrian Minister of Finance relative
to the national loan :

The list term of payment of the voluntary loan of 1854
having become due Co the 2ith of August last, and some
supplementary sums on:y now remeisitg to be pdd, the total
sum of the b Aida isistud ter the kind of debt, during the
financial paid of five pare, emanate to 611,671,300 florins,
of which 26,492,100 6. are in the sicking fund of the public
debt, eo that the amount of the bond, of tins kind in circula-
tion to 685,079,200 6., and thi voluntary loan of 1854 is dell-
ultively cloned.

The Oat Deutsche Peat publishes the following re-
marks on this subject :
The publioation of tbie notice has produced en extra:Ai-
nary sensation in our financial world, and we fear that it will
anis a still greater one abroad. The Imperial decree of 1864
remitted a national loan of 500 million.' of florins, and to
the great empties of every one it is now found that the
bonds ioeued amount to 611,614,000f1. or 111} millions more
than the orignl sum fixed. Out of these 1111 million'
between 28 and 27 are, it is true, as the nonce intorno us.
delimited in the enders otitis sinking fond of ilts public debt.
but that simply signifies that the emus every year eppro-
ptiawd to the sinkiug fund of the old public debt have not
been paid that the old titles of the debt have born replaced
by new ones, and that the money which ought to have been
banded over to the Mulling fund has been employed for other
purposes. According to this plan, we attach bat little im-
portance to the sinking fund combating to fulfil Its fanetioss
rep:Ludy. Debts are not paid off except by real staples, end
if, on the contrary, old etimmienta are only settled by con-
tracting new one,. it would be much better to abstain from
each useless parade.
