PARIS, FRIDAY EVltittiG.

Among the many contemplated evasions of the
convention of Sept. 15 was that of making the
French General de Goyon commander of the Pon-
tifical army (composed in part of a French
Algerian legion, whose service with the Pope was
to count as French service) after the departure of
the French troops properly so called. It is
said, however, that General de Goyon would
not accept the command unless he were
allowed to remain one of the Emperor's aideade-
camp, and that thereupon the negotiations with
him leave gone off. It would be a little too much
to maintain at Florence that France had observed
the convention if oue of the Emperor's aides-de-
camp were in command of the papal army.
The Cciurrier Francais announces that its pro-
prietors lately resolved that the management
(geraricc) of the paper should be transferred from
one of the present partners, M. Lebigre Duquesne,
to two others, MM. Weiss and Hervt
The government, which reserves to itself
a veto even upon every change in the editorship or
management of a journal, has arbitrarily refused to
sanction the arrangements, and thus interferes
without any assignable reason with the rights of
property. There is a most reactionary tendency
just now. The boasted reforms of 1861
seem to be repented of, and there seems
fair ground to accept the suggestion that they
were made as a diversion, with a view
to foreign aggressions then contemplated. The
Moniteur contains a severe admonition to the press
against any free comment on the debates in the
chamber. " Reports," properly so called must we
know be exclusively official, but it has been over and
over again proclaimed by members of government
that the prese was free to com meo t upon and criticise
the speeches of the representatives of the people.
How a journalist could criticise a speech without
quotations, or at least a sufficient description to
show to what his criticism alluded, the govern-
' meat has never explained, and many writers have
been caught, when they little expected it, for pub-
lishing "unauthorised reports." However, bad and
absurd and tyrannical as the law is a considerable
latitude, with fitful intermissions, has existed in
practice. But the Moniteur of to-day prohibits
any "critical report" (compte rendu critique),
going farther than any official manifesto on the
subject has hitherto done, and warns the journals
that in case of any infraction the law (the govern-
ment delights to call coup d'etat decrees the
" law ") will be put in force against them.
There was a considerable rise is the Rents to-
day,
and other securities were favourably affected
by the movement. Rents closed with a rise of
sc. for cash and 35c. for account, at 68fr. 700. and
68fr. 9k. Mobilier rose 10fr.

The Leeds deputation will I.onsist of Mr. Alderman Carter,

MARRIAGE LAWS COMMISSION. The commis-
sioners met at 32, Abingdon-street, yesterday. Present :
Right Hoo. the Lord Chelmsford, Right Hon. the Lord
Naas, the Right Hoe. William Monsell, M.P., the Right
Hon. Mr. Justice O'Hagao, the Right How. Sir James P.
Wilds, Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, the At-
toroey-Oeneral, Mr. Travers Twin, Q.C., D.C.L., and the
secretary.

The ceremony of swearing in members of the
House of Commons is very simple. Having advanced to
the table and answered to his name, each member is pro-
vided with s cord on which the oath required to be taken
is legibly printed, sod also with a copy of the New Testa-
ment—or, in the case of certain members of the Jewish
persuasion, with a eopy of the Old Testament Scriptures.
As soot as all who can be oonveniently accommodated at
one time gather round the table, the clerk reads aloud the
words of the oath, and from the body of members arises a
reepoosive hum of voice, such as one bears in churches.
The oath taken, members append their namee to the roll,
and as they pass the chair they are presented individually
to the Speaker, their names and those of the constituencies
represented by them being called out aloud by another of
the officers of the house. The ceremony of presentation
over, members return at once to their seats.

W. D. 8., himself a new member, writes to the
Times to put new members of the Horne of Commons
on their guard aga'nst the visits of a well mannered, well.
dressed, plausible, respeclable young nun, accompanied,
very likely, by an equally attractive associate, who
will be the sun or the nephew of some well•koowa
aid influential tionatiteent, and in ►hat character
will do his best, on a very specious tale, to extract
some mosey. W. D. 8., on receiving a visit of
this kind from twa of the fraternity, replied that,
being extremely busy that morning, he was afraid they
must leave the house unaccompanied by a policeman. " My
constituents," he add., " were not in the least offended,
nor did they show any outward sign of disappointment, for
I think I never saw visitors retire with a more marked
expression of gratitude and relief. I may add that one of
the rogues was middle-steed, stoat, fresh-coloured, and
aged about 30. He had only one arm then, but may bare
two now."

At the weekly meeting of the members of the
Royal Institution yesterday evening Lord Stanhope de-
livered a lecture " On the Influence of Arabic Philosophy
in Medieval Europe."

A very influential meeting on railway reform waa
held yesterday in the Mansion-house, Dahlia, the Lord
Mayor to the chair. Mr. Galt made • statement, end •
number of resolutions on the subject were unanimously
adopted, affirming the necessity of government 000trol and
the reduction of fares. A sttbsaription was entered into to
carry out the object.

The Dublin Gazette published last evening, con-
tains proclamatloes subjecting the following places to the
provisions of the Pesos Preservation Act :—llhe barony of
Slievemarigne, is the Queen's County ; the county of Kil-
kenny, part of Down, part of Armagh, county el New-
ham, county and town of Drogheda, and part of Louth.

The official report of the Court of Inquiry into
the collision in the Channel between the Samphire end the
Fanny Back is published. The court blames Captain
Bennett for dririeg his ship at inch • speed as twelve
knots an hoer on • sight so buy as that oe which
the •ocidest happened. As, however, the col-
lision was mainly due to the Fumy Busk car-
rying so light*, the court does not think it
necessary to euspeed Captain Beenett's certill-
este. It severely Demure' the misdate of the crew of
the Samphire in leaving their ship apparently in a sinking
state snd taking to the boats, end desmibee the sondes* of
the mad master as heels( been " cowardly" for a similar
reason. Captain Bennett is praised for his conduct after
the eollisioe. The requirements of the mail eostrect se to
speed se doubt canes the upteiss of the steamers is drive
their vessels at great speed, but do not, the court thinks,
justify them in doing so in busy weather. Findly, it is
recommended that although the Samphim has all the boats
required ar the Board of Trade regulations she should
have still more.

A movement in favour of cheaper and better Qua
is causing great excitement in Weymouth, Dorchester, sad
other town' in that neighbourhood.
