PARIS, MONDAY Evanarra.

Madlle. Rachel was buried' this morning. Her
remains arrived in Paris on Saturday evening, under
the oars of her brother and sister, M. Raphael and
Madlle. Sarah Felix. Madlle. Sarah states that the
exact time of her death was Sunday, January 3, at
midnight. She was sensible to the last. She died
with her hands grasped by her sister, and the Jewish
rabbi, who, assisted by six Israelites and two women,
was reciting by her bedside the prayer for the
dying. She herself, it is mid, followed the prayer,
and died with the utmost resignation. The corpse
was brought to the apartment which Madlle. occu-
pied (after she left her mansion in the Rue Tendon)
in the Place Royale, better known as the Place des
Vosges. It would be interesting to know the reason
that could have induced Madlle. Rachel to take a
lodging in this quarter of the city. The Place des
Vosges has probably been seen by compa-
ratively few Englishmen. Its situation, near
the Bastille, but oat of any greatly frequented
thoroughfare, is equally remote from the fashionable
quarters of the Faubourg St. Honors: and the Fau-
bourg St. Germain. Nevertheless it contains some
of the finest houses in Paris; a piazza late that of
Covent Garden runs round three sides of it, and,
although the word "square" has been lately intro-
duced into the French language, the Place des
Vosges is the only place in this metropolis that a
Londoner would admit to be a real square. It is
near the (burlier du Mavais, where a good many
Jews live. This square was crowded at an early
hour this morning by perilous anxious to see the.
funeral cortege of the great actress. The ceremonies
observed at the house were strictly Jewish. There
was no "lying in state," although many persons
were admitted to see the body. The coffin was not
exposed at the door, as is the catholic custom. Two
women watched it from the time of its arrival, and
recited prayers pursuant to the the Jewish rite. At
twelve o'clock the coffin was placed in a hearse
drawn by six horses. Three crowns (one of gold,one
of laurels, and one of cypress) were placed upon the'
Wan. The pall bearem were Baron Taylor, M.
Alexandre Dumas, the elder, and MM. Maquet and
Oeftivy, of the Theatre Francais. The chief
mourners were her eldest son, M. Felix, and her
brother RaphaeL Among. the followers were ob-
served a representative of the Minister of State,
MM. Scribe, Alfred de Vigny, Saintd-Beuve, Emile
Angier, Legouve, Viennet, and other members of the
French Academy, an immense number of literary
men and journalists, and the managers and actors of
the principal theatres. Many actresses were pre-
sent, and among them Mesdames A. Brohaa, Fix,
Favart, Emilie Dabois, Lefebvre, L'Heritier Lerner-
cier, Fargneil, Alboni, and Borghi Memo, all in deep
mourning. The interment took place in the Jewish
cemetery at Pere La Chaise. Speeches were pro-
nounced over the grave by M. Magnet, of the
Theatre Francais, M. Bataille, of the Opera Co-
mique, and M. Jules Janin, the celebrated critic.'
Madlle. Rachel was interred, pursuant to her own
wish, by the aide of her sister Rebecca, who died
some years since. The spot is very near the tomb
of Abelard and Heloiae.

The Bourse opened with some buoyancy, and a
discount of 1,000 Mobilier shares being posted up,
the security advanced rapidly. Sales to realise
profits were, however, pressed late in the day, and
with the exception of Mobilier—which, after rising
60fr., closed with a rise of 40fr.--all descriptions of
securities left off at lower prices. The Rente fell
10fr. for account, closing at 70fr. 30c. The Lyons
Railway fell 16fr., and most of the other lines 10fr.

It is remarked that the decree prolonging the
delegated powers of the Prince of Prussia contains
an expression which was not originally used—" full
delegation "—and although the Prince, in his re-
script, professes an intention to act upon the same
principles which have hitherto guided him, it is
thought atßerlin that the change of language above
noticed cannot be accidental.

General Lamoriciere and his wife most be at this
moment is Paris, as they left Brussels for Fromm on
Sunday. General Changarnier accompanied them
to the frontier.

Madame Malkin will play Marie Stuart at the
Opera on Thursday, the 14th, for the benefit of M.
Mongol, the singer, who takes his farewell of the
stage on that day.
