PARIS, WIDNESDAT ETZNING.
The depression at the Bourse continues. The
Bente was at one time quoted as low as Intr. 76c.;
both for =hand account. It rallied a little after-
wards, but closed with a fall of 16e. and 100. at
87fr. 86c. and 67fr. 80c. Mobilier, after falling to
696fr.,reoovered to yesterday's closing prior, 807 fr. 60c.
A good many speculative purchases were made in
several railway lines, but with the exception of
Northern, which rose 2fr. 60c., all the principal ones
sustained a turther tall of from 2fr. 60c. to 6fr.
Nothing certain is known as to the state of the
ne-
gotiations between the companies and the govern-
ment. It is asserted, however, that a special com-
mission is sitting to consider the various plans pro-
posed, and that a decision will be come to as soon as
M. Magee, the Finance Minister, returns to Paris.
There were disquieting reports at the Bourse to-
day relative to the Paris Conferences, which many
people think will not lead to anything. Fuad
Pacha's sore throat is thought to be only a diplo-
matic malady, and it is considered that General
Espinsase's mission to the Herzegovina, Bosnia, and
Servia, will aggravate the bad feeling which exists
between France and Austria.

The Cottatitutionnel, in a correspondence from
Constantinople of June 11, reports a fact in reference
to the piercing of the Isthmus of Suez, which is very
important if true. This letter asserts that when
Lord Derby's government came into power the
Sultan, who had always wished to grant the firman
for M. Lampe' project, hoped that the violent op-
position of Lord Palmerston, who had threatened
him with the eternal enmity of England if he gave his
consent to it, would be withdrawn. A despatch
was sent to London through M. Musurus, the
Turkish ambassador, informing Lord Malmesbury
that the Porte did not wish to act in the matter
without the knowledge (di tines) of the English
government, and desiring to know the opinion of
the new ministry. Lord Malmesbury replied that
he and his colleagues shared the opinion of their
predecessors, and that he had remarked with plea-
sure in the communication from the Porte the
assurance that it would take no step in the affair
without the consent of England. This answer
of Lord Malmesbury produced great surprise at
Constantinople, and orders were at once sent to
M. Mourns to inform the English minister that
although out of deference to an ally the Porte had
said that it did not wish to act without the
knowledge of England, it never intended to
fetter its own freedom of action, or to make the
question of the Isthmus of Suez dependent upon the
consent of the English Cabinet.
A Copenhagen letter, of June 18, positively con-
tradicts
the assertion of a Belgian journal that the
Cabinet of the Tuileries has recently sent a note
recommending the Danish government to make
further concessions to the Germanic Diet. The
Paisie has a leading article warmly approving the
conduct of Denmark and blaming the obstinacy of
the Federal Assembly, in making no account of the
conciliatory views of the Cabinet of Copenhagen,
"strong in its right and confident in its alliances."
The Governor of Cayenne has issued • scale of
differential duties on conveyances of reel property,
tee unfairness of which is complained of both by the
' Debate and the Slide. These duties bear very
heavily on small parcels of land, and go on decreas-
ing (proportionably) the greater the quantity pur-
chased. For inatanoe, on the purchase of a single
hectare of land only, and from that to 5 hectares,
the duty is 100 fr. ; but for 30 hectares and upwards
it is only 400 fr. 400 fr. is the maximum, however large
the estate conveyed. "Such a system." says the &Me,
"is not in accordance with our laws and habits; it
is progressive taxation in an inverse ratio, weighing
heavily on small properties, and becoming lighter
and lighter in proportion to the amount of the pur-
chase money." The object of this measure is to
check the emancipation of the slaves which the
French government is importing from Africa, by
making it difficult for them to acquire land.

TheConatifutionnel states that Marshal Hendon,
Governor-General of Algeria, has been summoned to
Paris by electric telegraph.
The Memorial de Lille says that Lieutenants
Conrtiel, Roe, and Hyenne will shortly be tried by
one of the two permanent courts-martial of the 3rd
military divison sitting at Lille, for the part they
took in the duel with M. de Pine. This news is, 1
believe, true, and I understand that M. Le6n Duval,
of the Paris bar, has been retained to defend Lieute-
nant Hyenne. People say in Paris that the court-
martial will only treater due couroanee for the
officers. We shall see. The dismissal of General
Eapinesse may possibly sake a differenee in the
malt.

A major in the French army, named Michaud,
commanding the recruiting depot of the department
of the Herault, wu arrested at Montpellier, on June
21, on a charge of embezzlement. The circumstance
created a very painful sensation at Montpellier,
where the accused wu well known.

The elections for councillors general and coun-
cillors of arrondissement, in the numerous owes in

which the first ballot of June 12 and 13 was void for
want of the legal minimum of votes, were repeated
on the 20th and 21st. You are aware that on a
second election a bare majority suffices to return al
candidate although he may not obtain either the
absolute majority of all the votes polled, or the
votes of a full quarter of the constituency. The
electors generally have shown themselves quite as
apathetic about the exercise of their electoral rights
on this second occasion as they were on the first.
The Journal du Havre states that in the southern
canton of that town out of 6,019 registered electors
only 423 voted ; of these 420 voted for the govern-
meat candidate, who is thus duly returned by less
than 1-12th of the constituency. At Lyons out of
eight elections two were carried by opposition
candidates. At Bordeaux, M. Cure, the opposition
member of the Corps Legislatif, bas been elected a

The French journals make no comment as yet upon
the acquittal of MM. Truelove and Tchorsewski.
The Minister of Marine will in a few days set out
for Cherbourg, to superintend the preparations to be

and Empress.

MADRID, Jose 22.

The half-yearly dividend on the debt will be paid
on July 1. A supplemental credit of 18 millions has
been granted to the Minister at War.
The Archbishop of Saragossa has just died at the
age of 88. He had been a bishop during a period of
twenty-seven years.
The magnificent Palma Theatre, in the island of
