EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom ova own ociaansewrware.)
PARIS, WIDNEODLY Eysimire.
The Emperor arrived at Arles at seven o'clock last
'night, and slept there. This morning he rose very
early, and after visiting those parts of the town and
the adjacent country which its flooded, he left at
half-past eight a.m. to return to Avignon, whither he
arrived at ten. After a halt of but a quarter of an
hoar, he proceeded on towards Lyons, where he was
expected to arrive at three this afternoon. It is pro-
bable that his Majesty will sleep at Lyons.
Subscriptions for the sufferers from thh inundations
are going on in all directions. Placards are exten-
sively posted inviting different chimes of society to,
subscribe. General Lawccstine has opened a list at his
heed-quarters in the Place Vendome for the national
guard. All the members of the Paris prom are
subscribing most liberally according to their means.
1, Meters. Galignani have put their names down for
I,ooofr. in the Constilutionners list. M. Emile de
Girardin has written a characteristic letter
to the &eels, stating that although his expe-
rience has taught him that private charity
can do but little to relieve great misfortunes, he
will on this occasion obey his sympathies rather than
his recollections. He therefore sends I,ooofr. for
the Prow, and 100 fr. for himself personally—those

being the sums subscribed by the &eels and its poli-
tical director, 51. Ravin. I venture to express a hope
that, in this cruel emergency, the public generally
will give charity the benefit of every doubt, and
imitate at 0009 M. de Girardin's practice, while
they reserve the soundness of his economi-
cal doctrines for mature sonsiderafion. How
" one touch of nature makes the whole world
kin." Here is M. Emile de Girardin, one of the
hardest political economists of the age, whose bobby
is that the " transformation of taxes into a premium
of assurance" would guarantee mankind against
"every ill that flesh is heir to," subscribing his money
handsomely and promptly to succour a great national
calamity. At the same time that he acts just like
any other kind-hearted man, he cannot resist the
temptation to writs an article fa the Press*, declar-
ing his conviction that his contribution will be illu-
sory, sea that ha only sands it se a reiterated protest
in favour of the principle of "premiums" rather than
"taxation."

Several of the theatres announce performances for
the benefit of the manna

The Bourse ltas bad a very sombre upset all day.
The Rent* fell 400. for cash and for account, closing at
73fr. 70c. and 74fr. 65c. Credit Mobilier fell 36fr. ;
Bank of Francs, 30fr. The principal railways were
all considerably lower. Orleans fell 33fr.; Lyons,
10fr.; Mediterranean, 10fr.; Northern, 10fr.; and
Grand Central, 1314.
M. Mires writes to the Debar protesting against
the supposition that he was any party to a financial
conspiracy to raise the rate of reports yesterday, but
he admits that nth a conspiracy did exist. Hs
affirms that his house furnished no less than forty
millions to aid the settlement just concluded.
The Cbrulifelionfml contains the following para-
graph on the subject of M. Plaosh failure :

Whilst the Emperor is bearing in person to the sufferers
by the floods both help and cousolatlon, the Empress,
affected like Monett by so much Cures", hes expressed to
the Minister of the Interior her wish that a subscription
should be !immediately opened for its relief, and has sent
