PARIS. THUARDAI DIMINO.

The Nord, of Brussels, throws doubts upon the
visit of the Emperor of Russia to the Tuileries, but
if we may believe the latest court gossip here the
Empress is at this moment personally superintend-
ing the arrangements for the Cur's comfort in the
apartments destined for his reception at the Tuileries.
The Bourse continua, to improve notwithstanding
the realisations of profits after the rapid rise of the
last two days. The Rente rose 25e. for account,
closing at 69fr. 50e., and closed at yesterday's pries,
89tr. 30c., for account. Mobilier is still fiat It raw
bet 2fr. 50e. The railway market was very firm. The
favourite lines were the Lyons and the Medilarea-
neon, there being a report that serious efforts at a
fusion of the two companies are again upon the topic.
Lyons rose 30fr., and Mediterranean 35fr. Orleans
rose 12fr. 50e. ; Northern, 10ft. ; St. Rambert, 15fr. ;
Grand Central and Eastern about 2fr. each. Western
fell 3fr. 75e. It is credibly stated that the bullion in
the Bank of France has increased by six millions since
the lest returns.
The shocking circumstances of the death of an
American gentleman, M. Morey, who was shot dead
by a sentinel in the Clichy prison, must be fresh in
the recollection of your readers. The soldier in
question, a man named Morel, belonging to the 88th
Regiment of the line, was to-day brought to trial
before a court martial to answer for his conduct. I
have not yet seen any report of the proceedings, but
the result is that the court, after hearing the ex-
planations of Morel, who maintains that he only
executed his orders, pronounced a full acquittal of
the prisoner." This verdict will certainly be narrowly
scrutinised by tho American residents in Paris. It
was said rat the time of the fatal occurrence that the
soldier had fired under the mistaken notion that
larders given to him formerly at a convicts' prison
WM alike applicable to Cliehy. This it would now
appear from the judgment of the court was not so.
But it is difficult to conceive what regulations could
imetify the shooting an inmate of a debtor's prison ,
mho was most certainly not attempting to escape.
The circumstances ought to be most fully explained
