EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRPSPONDRNT.)

PARIS. FRIDAY EVENING.

At the sitting of the Chamber to-day an amusing
incident occurred. M. Glais Bizoin, taking no-
tice of the announcement in the Muniteur that the
Emperor, on account of the dearness of living, had
raised the soldiers pay by 4 centimes a day between
this and DecoMber 31, said that he had proposed
several days ago an amendment to the budget,
recommending a permanent addition of 5 cen-
times. M. Segris, a member of the committee,
had recommended him not to press his amendment
on the ground that the government was considering
the question of increased pay. He, however, per-
sisted. The Minister of Commerce, M. Forcade
IA Roquette, repudiated the notion that M. Glais
Biennia amendment had any influence on the Em-
peror's " initiative." I quite expect, however, to
see M. Olais Bizoin's amendment carried. In-
creased pay for the army is too much in accor-
dance with Napoleonic ideas to be rejected because
proposed by an opposition deputy. It is very un-
likely that the four centimes nominally given only
till the end of this year will ever be taken off. The
country would not grudge the money if there were
only fewer soldiers.

The report on the press law will be presented to-
morrow. The Council of State has accepted the
amendment of the committee proposing the reduc-
tion of the stamp duty on newspapers to lc.
I M. Gressier's report on the Army Bill has been
distributed to the deputies.
According to the Europe, the 5,000,000 fr. which
the Czar brought with him to Paris for the ex-
penses of his visit were all spent, and he had to.
negotiate a small loan with a Greek banker before-
ho went away. The Czarevitch alone got through'
900,000 fr.—just the sum which the ball at the
Hotel de Ville is said to have coat. The King of
Prussia was far more economical. Ho only gave
the Prince Royal, the conqueror of Sadowa,
30,000 fr. pocket money fur the whole period of his
sojourn in Paris, and as to himself, he spent
" nothing." But then the Prussian budget is in a
healthy state.
There has been a sensible decrease in the num-
ber of strangers in Paris within the last few days.
A week ago there was not so much as a garret to
be had in the Grand Hotel, and to-day there wore
ninety beds vacant. I hear of other hotels which
were overcrowded but have now plenty of room.
M. Sallandrouze de Lamornaix, deputy for the
Creuse, the great carpet manufacturer of Aubusson,
died this morning.
The Bourse is now, as usual at this time of the
year, almost deserted; very little business has been
done all the week. Bente fell sc. for cash and
10c. for account, closing at 70fr. 35e., and 70fr. 40c.
Italian remains stationary. Mobilier fell sfr.

The Procureur-Imperial, report at Paris says, is
about to apply to the Legislative Body for authorisation
to prosecute M. Glaio-Bizoin and M. Granier de Casiagnac
for having acted aa seconds in the Floquet-Latouche duel.

The persons arrested for having cried " Vive la
Pologne !" have been liberated. It is affirmed that the
Czar asked the Emperor to spare Berezowski's life.
Thirty-six advocates offered to defend him, but he chose
M. Jules Fevre, who has accepted the task, in case the
state of his health will allow him to act.

Gatiguaui states that Gounod is now working at
an opera from the sublimest passages in the " Inferno."
Mr. Henderson, lessee of the Prince of Wales
Theatre at Liverpool, has arranged to open the Theatre
des Italiens at Paris during the present summer, for a
season of four weeks, in order to give visitors to the ea-
hibition an idea of English theatrical performances. The
performances will consist of Our American Cousin, in
which Mr. Sothern will sustain "Lord Dundresry,"
and Mr. Burnand's burlesque of Irion.

" Inquiries, I understand," writes the Paris cor-
respondent of the Pis!, "are being made concerning the
presence of certain disreputable people, men and women,
who appeared at the late balls and files. There is no
avoiding such accidents se these in Paris, owing to certain
facilities for obtaining invitations."
To show the entire contentment of his heart the
Emperor Francis Joseph, it is said, wee anxious to give
Mr. Desk his portrait, with the inscription "Francis
Joseph to Francis Desk." The picture was ready, but the
great commoner conveyed the expression of his wish that
the gift should not be offered, and the King yielded to it.
M. Desk has since hail an interview with the King.

The Viern44l Gazette publishes an autograph letter
of the Emperor Francis Joseph. dated Buda, ordering that
all objects pledged at the Mont-de-Pietii of Peath, on which
not more than one florin has been lent, shall be restored
to the owners without any charge.
The Gardeners' Chroniele announces the return to
this country from his scond trip to Nicaragua, of Dr. See-
MUM, who has made a very full collection of all the plants
of the Chontales gold region, and amongst them has
secured some very ornamental garden plants.

The skeleton of a whale 95 feet long was re-
cently washed ashore near Melbourne, in Australia.

The cost of four steam-packet communications
between Australia and England, viz , one via Panama, one
rid Torres Straits, and two rid Ceylon, is estimated at
400,0001. It is proposed that England should pay half of
this sum ; New South Wales, Victoria, and New Zealand
each one-fourth of 200,000/., Queensland one-seventh,
South Australia one-twelfth, Tasmania one-fiftieth, and
Western Australia about one-two-hundredth.

Two hundred years ago there were 5,000,000
Indians living in what is now the territory of the United
States. In 1825 this number had been reduced to less
than 500,000, and at the present time there are about
350,000 only. There are at the present time about 5,000,000
Indians in Mexico, and 7,000,000 in South America.
Buxsoa AYR/A.—There are now 70,000 Euro-
peans in Buenos Ayres. More than half of them are
Italians. The rest see French, Spanish, and English.
There are 28,000 Irishmen, and ten European colonies of
Welsh, Swiss, and other Europeans numbering 7,500 per-
sons in the Argentine Republic. The first instalment of
the southern emigration to Brazil is on its way. It
consists of 200 emigrants—l3ll are from Texas, 25 from
Georgia, 24 from Alabama, and 30 from Florida. They
travel a+ in clans, under the names of Finley, Seawright,
and Pylea—Panasna Star.

AN AMERICAN PLNASURN Tree.—An American
steamer, the Quaker City, with between 200 and .'k pas-
sengers on board, is expected shortly in the Mediterranean
on a trip of pleasure to the different porta of interest in
Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and the Holy Land.
Among those who have taken this means of visiting the
pm-ts of the Mediterranean and the East is General W. P.
Sherman, of the United States' army, who're important
services during the late civil war are so appreciated by the
government that a circular has been sent to the ministers
and consuls abroad to inform them of General Sherman's
movements, and adding that any attentions shown to him
by foreign powers will be gratefully acknowledged. Major-
General Banks, who represents Massachusetts in Congress,
is also among the passengers.
MACCERILL. —From 50 to GO tons of mackerel
were caught on the Cornish coast in the week ended on
Wedneday, and sold at from 12s. to 17s. fad. per six score.
The season is rapidly drawing to a close, and preparations
are already being made by many of the boats for the pil-
chard fishery. Nearly 2,500 tons of mackerel have been
despatched by rail this spring from Cornwall to London
and the important provincial markets.
