Salad is of such general use in Paris that there
are many families who wi'l not deprive themselves of It, so
matter what the cost. Of late years it has been very
scares daring the winter months, sod the price was s:•
militant. The market is at premed abundantly supplied
tram the south of France, Spain, and Algeria, and the pries
is so moderate that the vegetables may be sera in the
windows of the most Werke cook-shop% The animal cod
olds salad oonsumed in Paris is estimated at 40,0001.

TER Blanc Art EMPIAL—A Paris correspondent
of the Nord, writing on the 4th isst., says, " I have to-day
received bad news from Mexico. The Emperor Maximilian
has, it is stated, declared that he cannot pay the money
which he 261 owes to France end, moreover, that he will
quit the Mexican territory ss soon as the date of the depar-
ture of the French troops has been fixed. I cannot abso-
lutely guarantee this luformat on, but it comes from so
1116011/ a source that I thought it my duty to communicate
it to you. At all events it is evident that the situation of
affairs in Mexiers is a very difficult one."

Dam., FIB. s.—The Merchant Shipping Com-
pany's steamer Dartmouth, Captain Davis, from Shanghae
on the 21st October, with a cargo of tea, and silk, has
arrived is the Downs. She reports that on the 11th January,
in let. 4.58 long. 24.17, she fell in with a ship floating
bottom up, evidently a large vessel ; het back was broken,
and word sheets of oopper had worked off amid/hips, all
the rest appeared nearly new and quite sound. The Dart-
mouth passed close to leeward of the wreck, but could not
see anything floating about to suable her to obtain any clue
to the ill-fated vessel, and there being a strong breeze and
squalls at the time it was not deemed prudent to lower •
boat to go alongside.—lkuter's Express.
SICIZLIBZ OF AIMS AND ARRIBTS AT DOBLIN.—On
Saturday evening we stated that the police had made •
mixers in Staffordstreet of arms, consisting of five rifles
and bayonets twelve beeket-hilted swords, six bullet-
moulds, and lead for making bullets, along with a grey
military uniform and • cooked hat and feathers. On the
roession the officers arrested the occiapier off the house,
Richard leKeon, &cabinetmaker, with his two apprentices,
James Byrne and Arthur Routledge. When the arrests
had been made the police instituted a further search, which
resulted is their finding, embedded in the earthen floor of
the kitchen—an apartment which appeared to have been
used for drilling purposes—a box contain's' documents of
a highly treasonable character, sad which are believed to
implicate many persons in the conspiracy. The prisoners
were to-day brought before Mr. O'Donnell, at Capri-street
Polioe-offse, when they were remanded for further exand-
naties.—Dtsblin Swung Mail.
COVET Dasas.—An " writes to the
Post :—" I had the honour of a seat in parliament peri-
-1 ens to the passing of the Reform Ball, sad after the debate
ea the King's speech bad terminated, Mr. Hume rose sad
appealed to Lord Althorp on the propriety of departing
from the usual practice—of the members who at-
tended the presentation of the address to his Majesty
not being obliged to impair in court dress.
Lord Althorp, with that borrhorrunie which was even
more winning than that of Lord Palmerston, asked the
honourable member if he wanted an set of parliament to
be passed, and then said he was obliged to him for bringing
the question forward, but that it depended entirely upon
members themselves. If they chose to go in plain clothes
there could be no objection; and be bad no objection, as
far as his example would have any influence, so to appear.
The day the house assembled to go up with the address
the only member who appeared in court dress was the late
Sir F. Bartlett. Re eat next to me, and evidently
appeared uncomfortable. He said, Mr.— has there
been anything said about not appearing in court dream, for
I have just come from the country r I told him what had
occurred, when he said, Well, if I bad known that I
should not have come, bat having coma, I shall go as I
am. I thick men appear more like gentlemen when they
are full dressed.' Now, if Mr. Bright had the moral
courage to accept the Spiaker's invitation, sad appear in
the evening dress of a gentlemen, there is no doubt be
would be just as kindly received as if he were dressed
like a Qty flunkey, and all would soon follow hie ex-
ample."
YORGILILIEB BV A SPOUTING MAN.—III the stag-
nant state of matters in the racing world it la not unnatu-
ral that coosiderable interest should be taken in the dis-
covery of a vary large amount of forgeries perpetrated
by the person who committed suicide at Dstehett last
week. From what had transpired it seems that the
man io question, who married a daughter of the late
Beim Chifney, has for soma few years led rather as
extraordinary life, es, without any ostensible income
and pretending to be only an agent for the discount of bills
he has kept race-horses sad earriage-horses, and at one
time projected • breeding establishment. Where the
fonds came trees was always a mystery to his hinny.
who are most deservedly esteemed in the racing world.
and who had long since tabooed him. But time at last re-
vealed the secret that the luxuries be had indulged is had
been purehssed by the forging of noblemen's names ea bills
of exchange, sod, being alarmed at the accidental discovery
of his crime, be put an end to his existence. There is no
necessity to give publicity to the names of the noblemen
in question ; but a lesson will be taught to those who ware
foolish enough to part with their mossy which they are
not likely to forget, and the folly of dealing with agents
instead of principals will be made still more apparent. It
is of rare occurrence, but it happened so in this case that
the culprit never consulted the peerage ea to the spelling
of the title of one of his victims, and to this fact the ex-
plosion of the mine may be attributed.—" Argue " of the
Poet.
The first party for the Minnesota gold mines, at
Vermilion fake, left St. Paul on the 27th inst. It °as-
sioted of nine teams and t wenty-asven sem, armed and
