RUSSIA.

The Invalid. BUM, in • eapplentent of the 4th,
gives the following intelligence :

The Commander-in-Chid of army of the Caucasus has
thi, day received from the chief of the right wing a report,
eamouncing that one ofthe powerful tribes of Circusala has
just submitted to Made uneonditiesally. The tribe is the
14atonkbals, who live between the rivers Adages= and
Kobe:dial, the Black Bee and the Kouban. As a guarantee
of their loyalty and devotedness, the Natoukhale have given
seventeen hostages belongieg to their highest families, and
are now taking the oaths of allegiance.

The Emperor end. Empress of the French, two
sights bee, were prating at a charming fi e given at the
villa of Prince Napoleon, In the Avenue Montaigne, in
hamar of the anniversary of the marriage of the Prince
with the Panama Clothilde. The entertainments commenced

by a dramatic representation given by the artistes of the
Midi's Francais, and consisted of a prologue in verse, by
M. Thiophile Gauthier, Le 'Mew de Diomede, and the
Amor is Ms. The programme, printed in ancient
pasts, bore ties following heading, " Thfiitre de Poingel;
reoaverture spree tine reliche de 1800 am, pour cause de
riparadons." Both authors and actors were warmly ap-
plauded by tits illustrious company present. After the thea-
trical perftemance, at half-past slaves, dancing oommenced,
aid woe kept up until after three o'clock.
A letter from Rome of the 11th says :—" In order
somewhat to relieve the needy climes at present unoccupied
he Rome, orders have been given for resuming excavations
on the Via Latina, which locality, two years ago, under the
judkdona examination of Signor Fortunati, afforded snob
interesting results. A numerous body of labourers are now
engaged there in restoring to light the deeply-buried pave-
met of the ancient Roman road, ortssistiog of meafive blocks
of tempt proloandly indented with the marks of chariot
cheek. Excavations are also being carried on in the
Parma, with a view to completing the exhumation of the
Batilies Jan. Some old barns which stood upon that *pot
have been throws down, and as the sAI underneath is now
tamed up for the first time for hundreds of years, interesting
results are anticipated from the research. The baths of
Carsoala and those of Titus sre also to be subjected to the
excavator's shove/ ; and, as it is rare for any portion of the
ancient soil of Rome to be disturbed without revealing some
mutilated tremors of art, we may reasonably hope for fresh
additions to the already invaluable museums of the Vatican
and the Capitol."

At a late eittiog of the Legislative Council at
Redeem, Sir C. Jachasn moved the first reading of a bill " to
provide for the dissolution of certain marriages entered into
by Christian converts before their 4:lnversion." Sir Charles
explained that, by the Rindoo and IS.h•rmedan laws, conver-
sion dissolved the marriage tie, Lad that by our law if •
married convect motarried he was guilty of bigamy; so
dist the convert was "thus compelled to remain • married
man without a wife." The bill provides that if the heathen
wife or husband raw to live with the Chriatisa wife or
husband for two years after being questioned by the Zillah
judge, that the parties shall be divorced ; if there are children
then the period before a dissolution can inks place is fixed at
four years. The expense of the proasedings is to fall on the
convert. Yr. Soon having seconded the motion, the bill
was reed a first time.

The Delhi Gasette has been informed that in.
telligeooe has been communicated to Government to the
affect that the Nana mes wen some Haab time ago on his
road to Bidet:cab, disguised as a jvgi, or religions mendiesnt.
Rs is being looked after.

The 0;dlt Gazette of January 6 gives the grati-
bin intelligence that some very extraordinary diadems@
have been made, and %brae who loot property during the
mutinies ere likely to and muck of ft." Oar contem-
porary has accordingly been requested to give pro-

PARIS{ FILIDAY £vu*a.
01liyier's awe cense oo this morning for
intim-toartig atiliriiiittsjefore the Court of
Correctional Appeals, M. Partarrien•Laffaee pre-
siding. The appearance of the court showed that
the affair bad lost none of its interest. Every seat
not reserved was occupied at an early hour, the
majority of the audience consisting, as on the former
ocomiam, principally of barristers in their robes.

Among the visitors accommodated with seats
on the beach were M. Dapin, the Pro-
career-General of the Court of Caseation,
Abbe Coquerean, chaplain-general to the fleet, and a
host of judges and magistrates. M. Chain d'Est Aug.
(who was assisted by M. Oscar de Vallee) occupied
the chair of the Pablio Minister. Among the
eminent advocates who sat near M. Emile 011ivier
during the whole day were MM. Plocque ( batonnier),
Berryer, Dufaure, Renard, Jules Favre, Cremienxi
Dessaarest, and Bethmont.
M. Chain d'Est Auge, to the great disappointment
of many who had indulged a hope that his
sympathies with the bar would have overruled the
bias of his present official position, made a dead set
against M. 011ivier, and in a speech with much
mouthing and gesticulation oontended that the
public minister was never impassioned, and that it
was an offence in an advocate to say that he was.
The court confirmed the suspension of M. 011ivier.
I cannot describe the disgust of the bar.
The Bourse improved upon a telegram of doubtful
construction, but which was interpreted to mean
that Lord John Russell did not object to the annex-
ation of Savoy. The Rents rose 26c. and 20c., closing
at 67fr. 76c., both for cash and account. Mobilier
roes 6fr. Railways were from 2fr. to 6c. higher.

TIII/HaDAT KVININO.
The libel case of the" Siècle v. Dupanloup, Bishop
of Orleans," is definitively fixed for hearing before
the Tribunal of Correctional Police on March 1.
Several journals announce dot not only M. Berryer
but M. Deana will appear u counsel foe the bishop,
and that M. Board and M. Jules Favre will repre-
sent the Slide. M. Senard is, I know, retained;
but as to M. Jules Fevre I have some doubt. His
political friends would be sorry to see him assisting
in running down the church party, which happens
to be out of favour at the present moment, and ac-
cordingly sufferr, in the persons of the journalists who
support it, all the tyranny and injustice which may
be brought to bear at any time upon whoever IS
audacious enough to beard power. This feeling will
scarcely be understood in England, where • bar-
rister, no matter what his politics may be, never
refuse* a brief. Sir Fitzroy Kelly defended Daniel
O'Connell ; but here the rules of the bar
are very different. Counsel continually reface
to undertake causes which they do not like, and
in political cases it rarely happens that • barrister
takes a brief without being more or lea personally
identified with the cause of his client. 'Whatever
M. Jules Fevre may think fit to do in this instance,
I can assure you from personal knowledge that many
members of the liberal party who are among the
strongest opponents of ultnimentanism, and priestly
domination of every kind, would rather not stand
forward at the present moment to aggravate the
pressure which the government, although for osten-
sible objects which they entirely approve of, is
bringing to bear upon the church party.
M. Thouvenel's last circular is this day cried about
the streets at 1 eon, as the answer of the French
government to the Pope's encyclical letter.
I am happy to) be able to enure you that the re-
publican party in the Corps Legislatif will support
the treaty of commerce against the protectionists.
The Bourse remains in a state of atrophy. Speen-
lators have not the courage to operate either one
way or the other. The Bente closed at 67.60 and
67.55, with a fall of 16 and 10. Mobilier fell 3.76.
Railways are stationary.
A new café monatre, called the Alone', was
opened last night in the Faubourg Poissonniere.
The inauguration was somewhat falsely described
no the invitation cards as a " private one," for in
point of fact the vast arena was as full as it could
hold, and many recipients of tickets were unable to
force their way in. This new establishment is of
the genus, though not precisely of the specie*, of the
Eldorado, on the Boulevard de Sebastopol. The
Eldorado is a rotunda—the Aloszar is an oblong sa-
loon, decorated in the style of the Alhambra. The
object of both is to attract the public by offering
them, in consideration of a alight extra charge for
coffee and petit verre, • musical and semi-dramatic
entertainment, equal, and in some respects superior.
to what they would get at a minor theatre. Theft
musical cafés, of which the two I have mentioned
are the princes, enter largely into the composition
of the new Paris which has grown up within the
last three or four years. The love of the Parisians
for dramatic entertainments is such that these planes
are always full, and yet the theatres and casinos do
not suffer by the competition.
