EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY &W M.

There are still conflicting statements about Gari-
baldi. The Opinion N«ficsafe,whieli but yesterday
contradicted the news of his going to America, has
now reeeived intelligence that he really has accepted
the command offered to him by President Lincoln ;
and the Natiwialilies of Turin gives the same Intel-
ligeuce tinder the head of " Latest News," adding
that Bich) and several of his old officers wish to ac-
company his to New York. According to the ver-
se m of the Opisioa Nationale, Garibaldi lately of-
fered his services to Victor Emmanuel to extirpate
brigandage in the Neapolitan proviimes, and the
oiler not being accepted, he then engaged to fight
against slavery in America, subject only to the
King's approbation ; and the King having, con-
trary, perhaps, to Garibaldi's expectations, declared
that he has no objection, the great chieftain will
forthwith cress the Atlantic. Notwithstanding the
perseverance with which the story is repeated, I
cannot myself believe that Garibaldi, whose name
shine is a toaer of strength in Italy at the present
juncture, will leave his country to espouse a foreign
quarrel with which lie has nothing to do.
'rho undoes the following observations :

Tao Capueins and the ltolemptorisis have been expelled
from the department of the Nord, but they are, it is said,
about to be replaced at Lisle by other RA. lemptorists, who
will establish themselves in the Itue de Paris ; by bare-
footed Carmelite' in the Rue du Cirque; and by Ilarist
brethren, who are to take up their quarters in a convent
mar the Esplanade. Thus, as the Echo do Nord remarks,
the interdictions pronounced will have for result to multiply
establishments which, according to the expreasioas of 31.
Lillault, are very etularrassing when they are tolerated,
and frequently become intolerable when they are authorised.
Is suds a course of proceeding probable?
The Assize Court of the Ardeche on September 10
sentenced a Marist monk, named Cloutier (in reli-
gion Brother Isidore), to five years' imprisonment,
for atrocious assaults upon schoolboys committed
to his care.

At the Assize Court of theCalvados on Saturday,
an extraordinary triad, which has lasted all the
week, was brought to a conclusion. The postmaster
of Courseulles, M. Leprevost, a retired captain of
gendarmerie, a man upwards of sixty, and who
has borne a good character all his life, was accused
of stealing money from letters, and forgery. His
daughter, who was originally included in the in-
dictment, committed suicide in prison by sticking
pins and needles into her chest with wonderful
resolution. The case was complicated by an accu-
sation of the public prosecutor against Captain
Leprevust that ho had seduced his own daughter at
the age of 13, and by a counter accusation by the
prisoner's counsel, M. Lachaud, thst one of the
principal witnesses, a post-utlice inspector, was the
lever of Mdlle. Leprovost, and had brought a false
accusation against the father. The verdict was nut
delivered till 4 in the morning, and the crowded
audience remained the whole time. Captain Le-
provost was acquitted on eight counts out of nine,
but being found guilty of forgery, was sentenced
to imprisonment fur life.

A letter from Stuttgardt of Sept. 13 says th►t
at a farewel; banquet of the Congress of Political
Economy, the toast of "the Fraternity of Nations"
was coupled with the name of M. Gamier Pages,
who was present. The member of the provisional
government of 1848 returned thanks in an ani-
mated speech, in the course of which he said that
he had never witnessed in any country anything
like the intellectual movement now going on in
Germany, and that he should look with horror
upon any aggression on the Rhine frontier by
France.

The Bourse was very firm. It is a curious fact that
the late fall began with the news that the French
would nut leave Rome, and that now reports more
favourable to the Italian cause coincide with a rise.
Rent*, rose 10c. for cash, and 20c. for account,
closing at fififr. &. and 69fr. 20c. Mobilier rose
3fr. 75c. Railways were much firmer, some of the
lines rising from 2ir. 50e. to sfr. Dauphine was in
extraordinary demand, and rose 12fr. 50c.

"The Prince Imperial," sign the Courier de
Bayonne of the 13th, "took hie first bath in the sea yea-
tenlay morning. He was accompanied by the Empress. A
hatter of Biarritz, whose daughter was born on the rime
day as the Prince Imperial, recently received orders to
attend at the Villa Eugeoie to supply a hat for the young
prince. The Empress kindly iuquired about her little god-
daughter, and desired to see her. The little girl was ac-
cordingly the next day taken to the villa, and was the
promoted with • handsome bracelet, which will no doubt
be carefully preserved as a souvenir of her august god-
mother."

Accounts from Toulon state that the steel-cased
stesm•fripte Gloire sailed thence on Wednesday last to
make a sewed trial with the newly-invented cannon, called
"the mysterious cannon," from the secrecy observed with
vyspect to its construction. While in port the cannon re-
mains enveloped in a covering which is sealed with ea
official seal not to be broken until the ship is at sea.

Preparations are being made to establish a great
cattle-market within the fortifications of Paris. The ground
is situate beyond the bridge of Flanders and extends from
the right of the road between the canal and tho fortifies.
twos, at 300 yards from the railway which leads round Paris.
A branch railway is to be constructed from that which will
enable the ri,ttle dealers to bring their stock to market from
*very quarter by rail. Large slaughterbiiusee are to be
meted close to the market.

The Salta Ptedic of Lyons says :—" The vintage
has commenced on several pointa in the eovirous of this
city. The wine promises to he of excellent quality, and the
fermentation takes place rapidly. It is estimated that the
rain has (Alen within the last few days will increase
tho ()mini ity of wine by at lout one.fourth."

Thu l'reettrant of Antwerp states that a few
days ago M. Rs crier, Relgian Minister of the Interior,
arrived in that city with some ladies and gentlemen, friends
of his, aid a few hours after went to the cathedral to see
the pictures by Ruben", but the rotor refused to admit
him utiless he raid the fee in advance. This demand so
offended the minister that be went away. "Is it not time,"
add* the journal above-namcd, "that the cathedral autho-
rities should crami to make a speculation of those chefs
d'ruvre which are in fact the property of the city, and
which they ought to be proud to show to everyone ?"

A Dresthl journal elates that previously to the
late musical festival at Weimar, the Grand Duke endea-
voured to restore Richard Wagner to favour at the Court of
Sexuay. The Grum! Duke wished to confer on the maestro
the Order of the falcon, but before doing so he caused
inquiries to he made to be made at Dresden whether that
distinction would be well received there. The duke re-
ceived an answer to the effect that, if Wagner received the
decoratiou, twelve officers of the Saxon army would imme-
diately seed hack theirs. In consequence, no favour was
conferred on the composer by the Grand Duke.

A letter in the bonnie Zeitung gives an account
of a visit the Empress of Austria bad just paid to the British
ship of the line Queen at Corfu. She was accompanied by
General Count Bier, Captain Barry (an Englishman who
commands an Austrian frigate), and the ladies and gentle-
men of her suite. The Queen was surrounded by a throng
of boats, full of Curfiotos, waiting to greet the Empress.
The ship etas dre.sed out with Saga, yanls were manned,
and the crew, who, the letter with 1101110 wonderment re-
marks, stood even on the tope of the masts, welcomed bee
Majesty with three hearty British cheers. As she set foot
on deck, the Austrian standard was run up and the band
played the Austrian national hymn. She went all over the
ship, examining everything with much ioterc■t, and dentit-
ion her grace and beauty were subjects of intense admiration
to Jack. Since then she bits left the island for an excursion
of a few days to &rite. She is described as going shoat
very plainly dressed, in a white dress and a round hat, "bee
magnificent hair cud her lovely face her sole adornments."
