PARIS, FRIDAY EVZNING.

The statement which has been flying all over
Europe by telegraph to-day that the King of
Sardinia, in accordance with " very precise counsels"
from France, has refused to authorise Prinoe de
Carignan to accept the regency of Central Italy, is •
piece of false news. It was circulated last night at
the Schiller festival on apparently good authority.
To-day at the Bourse it missed unchallenged,
although the government must all the time have
known better, and the telegram is reproduced
by all the evening papers (the Pays excepted)
without contradiction. All that is true, how-
ever, is that the advice alluded to haa been
given by France, but I am enabled to state that
down to • very late hour this evening no official
intelligenoe of the advice having been followed had
been received, and, moreover, those bat acquainted
with what is passing in the councils of the King of
Sardinia feel quite certain that it will be respect.
fatly but firmly declined.
The Pays, which alone has had its cue from Count
Walewski's office, knowing that the false despatch
will be exposed to-morrow, takes no notice of its
existence, but in a leading article it speaks of the
election of Prince de Carignan as a " very
grave event," one tending to embarrass
the proceedings of the congress, and as one
that may justify the King of Naples and the
Emperor of Austria in marching troops into the
duchies and legations. Under duse circumstances
the lays is not surprised to learn that the French
government has formally advised the King of
Sardinia to refuse the Regency offered by the
assemblies to the Prince de Carignan, and it hopes
that Victor Emmanuel will defer to the prudent
advice of France."

The announcement in the Morsiteur prodnoed no
effect whatever upon the Bourse. The Rents closed
at yesterday's price, 70tr. 16c.; Mobilier fell 2fr.
60o.; the Northern Railway rose 3fr. 76a.; the
other lines fell about 2fr. 60c.

The Schiller oentimary festival was celebrated
last evening by the Germans in Paris with very
great enthusiasm. About 3,000 persons crowded
into the Cirque de l'lmperatrioe, and upwards of
600, who were unable to obtain places, had their
money returned at the doors. The entertainments

eonsiated of music, including a " Schiller March,"
written for the occasion by Meyerbesr, and recita-
tions of original and classic German poetry. Two
beautiful pieces by a modern post, M. Pfau, of
Berlin, were greatly applauded. M. Dawison, one
of the most celebrated actors in Germany, reed a
stirring scene from Don Carlos. All the Gorman
legations in Paris were represented. To-night
there is a grand Schiller banquet in the Salle Bar-
tholecoy.
A very poor pamphlet by a writer of considerable
note and some talent, M. Louis Joardain, of the
Sleek, was brought out • few days ago under the
title of " Goerre aux Anglais." Notwithstanding
the ad captandum heading, I did not think it worth
notice, because I knew that it was not inspired by
the government (M. Jourdain is in the opposition
camp), and that it was not the expression of the
opinion of any considerable section of the liberal
party in Franee.

It is not improbable that when all the fittings of
the Great Eastern are completed she will make a short trip
acmes the Bay of Biscay and into the Mediterranean early
ant spring, before starting on her great ran across the
Atlantic.

Mr. Seward, late Governor of the state of New
York, is now at Turin, and ham lien presented to the King.
As he in unacquainted with French or Italia., a dragoman
Ina sought for amongst the Piedmontsee contereant with
English, etiquette not allowing of a foreigner in that capa-
city. General Solaroli was entrusted with the ditty.

Harr E. Pacer has succeeded Mr. Cipriani Potter
M Use Academy of Magic.

Mr. J. Mullah has taken the place at the Charter-
hones organ, long filled by Horsley.

There is now an established and independent
orchestra of newly seventy performers at Manchester, mar-
shalled under the Neon of M. Halle. The programme of
this week's concerts included the overture, Les Prones
Juges, by M. Berlioz. During the winter it is M. Halle's
intention to produce some of Gluck's eperatio mnslo.

The Cambridge Independent says:—" An impor-
Wet decision has been arrived st this week, at Clare College,
bat not without coneiderable opposition. In future, the
Fellows of that Society are to he allowed to many, and the
fellowships are to be tenable for 10 years. We cannot help
expressing our opinion that this is a very wise sad salutary
regulation."

he sales in the Landed Estates Court at Dublin
for some time back show that the market value of land has
considerably receded, and even at the reduced prices buyers
are not always forthcoming. On Thursday the estates of
five several proprietors situated in the counties of Waterford,
Mayo, fliigo, Tipperary, and Cavan, well offered for sale in

moderate-shed lots to snit the geaerality of purchasers.
Those *old did not realise anything like the prices white
ruled a year ego, while several valuable lots had to be post-
poned from insufficiency of offers.
