EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(YlOlll OUE, OWN COINESPONDENT.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
_ _ _

The return of the Court from St. Cloud to the
Tuileries is postponed till after Christmas. The
28th is now mentioned as the day instead of the
23rd. The project of a ball for the 23rd is said to
have been given up in consequence of the health
of the Duchess de Baaaano.

In the course of the short debate in the Corps
Legislatif yesterday, M. Brame, while expressing
his regret to hear M. Rouher say, in answer to a
question, that there was no prospect o f a bill to amend
the law on railway management, said that a short
time ago the newspapers had registered, as some-
thing very sensational, " one accident a day," but
lately there had been two a day on an average,
which was a most frightful consideration.
The death at Rome of the Duke de Luynes, the
wealthy owner of Dampierre, is announced. Be,
together with his heir, the Duke de Cherrense,
went to help the Pope with purse and person
when Garibaldi's invasion was expected. The
Duke de Luynes, too old to fight, was at the battle
of Montana, and acted as a surgeon's assistant in
the hospital. The story is told that he gave his
cloak to a wounded soldier of the Papal Legion,
and that his death resulted from a cold he caught
in consequence.

♦ letter from Rome in the Salta Public of Lyons
says :—" Yesterday evening, at 8 o'clock, Mon-
signor Gianelli was stabbed while crossing the
Piazza Monterone. The assassin was not a robber,
for the purse and watch of the prelate were left in
his pocket. The wound is somewhat dangerous."
Mgr. Gianelli was at one time an auditor at the
Paris Nunciature, and subsequently he was Pope's
Nuncio at Naples, where his functions were put an
end to by the fall of Francis 11.
The village of Colombea, near Courbevoie, in the
environs of Paris, was the theatre of a daring
murder last Sunday. The victim was a man
72 years of age, possessed of some property,
who lived by himself in a one-story house in
the Rue Beaurepaire. A young relative with
whom he had quarrelled some months before
broke into the house in the night time, laid in
wait till the old man came out of his bedroom at
eight in the morning, and then knocked him down
by a blow on the head with a log of wood, and after-
wards strangled him with his hands. Some neigh-
bours, hearing the cries of the dying man, got up
to the first floor window by a ladder, and saw the
assassin finishing his work. They secured him,
and he is now in custody. A rope with a noose in
it was found in his pocket, which it is supposed he
meant to have fastened round the neck of the mur-
dered man to lead to the idea of a suicide. There
is no doubt that his intention was to rob the
house.

There was little change at the Bourse. Rents
finally closed with a rise of 7i for account. Other
securities were weaker. Italian fell fic.

THP LIVERPOOL WORKING MEN AND THE
FENIAAs.—On Monday evening a number of the working
men of Liverpool held a public meeting, at which they
agreed upon the following resolution :—" That this com-
mittee beg to offer their warmest thanks to his worship
the mayor, the magistrates of the borough, the county
magistrate', and also to Major Greig and the police force,
for the prompt and efficient measures adopted by them
on Sunday last for the suppression of the intended proces-
sion of Fenian sympathisers with the murderers of Ser-
geant Brett." A. deputation waited upon the mayor
yesterday at the Town-hall to present the resolution, and
in reply the mayor dated that it afforded hint great satis-
faction that the course which had been taken by the
authorities had been so heartily supported by the working
men of the town. A letter from Mr. Hardy, the Home
Secretary, has been received by the law clerk to the
county magistrates, thanking that body for the prompt
and effective arrangements which they had made to keep
the peace on Sunday, and to prevent any procession being
formed. We understand that the Mayor of Liverpool (Mr.
Whitley), Major Greig (the head constable), and several
gentlemen holding influential positions in the town, have
received threatening letters.
TILE HEALTH OF LONDON.—It appears from the
return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that
in the week that ended on Saturday, Dee. 14, 4,353
births and 3,499 deaths were registered in London and
in twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom.
The annual rare of mortality was 30 per 1,000 persons
living. The annual rate of mortality Let week was 29
per 1,000 in London, 33 in Edinburgh, and 28 in Dublin ;
23 in Bristol, 27 in Birmingham, 33 in Liverpool, 36 in
Manchester, 30 in Salford, 28 in Sheffield, 24 in Leeds, 27
in Hull, 32 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 33 in Glasgow.
The rate in Vienna was 25 per 1,000 during the week
ending the 7th inst., when the mean temperature was
5•8 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in Lon-
don, where the rate was 27. In London the births
of 1,127 boys and 1,019 girls, in all 2,146
children, were registered in the week. In the cor-
responding weeks of ten years 1857.66 the average
number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,124.
The deaths registered in London during the week were
1,700. It was the fiftieth week of the year ;
and the average number of deaths for that week is,
with • correction for increase of population, 1,485.
The deaths in the present return exceed the esti-
mated number by 215. The mortality in the metropolis
was greater last week than in any week since that which
ended on the 23rd March ,when 1 731 deaths were recorded.
FIRE IN LINCOLN'S-INN. —Last night, ate quarter
to twelve o'clock, • fire broke out in the extensive range
of chambers situate No. 4, New-square, Lincoln's-inn, the
chief sufferers being Mr. Southgate, Q.C., and Mr. T.
Ogler, barrister. There was no person residing on the
premises, and the fire was first discovered by the lodge
porter seeing the chambers on the ground floor in flames.
The alarm was at once given, and in about ten minutes
the brigade engines from the Farringdon-street, Holborn,
and Chandos-street stations were on the spot. Before,
however, the engines could be brought into play, the flames
had ascended to the first and second floors, in the respective
occupation of Mr. Southgate and Mr. Oiler, and the whole
suite of chambers, both those fronting New-square and
those in the rear looking on to Carey-street, were burning
rapidly. As soon as the engines got into play the firemen
succeeded in subduing the flames, but not until the
chambers occupied by the gentlemen mentioned were en-
tirely destroyed, with all their contents, including a large
number of valuable law books and papers. The contents of
the other suites of chambers were completely saturated
with water ; and the premises of Mr. Davis, law bookseller,
in Carey-street, were seriously damaged by fire and water.
The fire was entirely got under by 1 o'clook. Mr. South-
gate resides at Richumod-green, and a telegram was at
once despatched to him informing him of the disaster.
CONVIeTIoN FOR MURDER 121 SCOTLAND—Mac-
donald, the tinker, secured of murdering his wife while they
were travelling in the Perthshire Highlands last autumn,
wee tried on Monday, at the High Court of Justiciary,
Edinburgh, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged three
weeks hence at Perth. The jury, however, accompanied
their verdict with a recommendation to mercy, on the I
moors that he had not evinced previous malice. The trial
brought out a melancholy story, and the chief witnesses
against the culprit were two of his own children.
DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP CONSUL BY FIRE.
Intelligens° which was received in Liverpool yesterday
from Savannah is confirmatory of the destruction in the
Savannah river of the British ship Consul. The vessel
was bider with cotton, and at the last accounts she was
deep in a mud bank, with nine feet of water in her hold
at low tide. The cotton in the lower hold is expected to
be saved, but the after hold has beau severely damaged.
