EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(I RON OUR OWN CORREEPONDENT.)
PARK YIUDAY EVENING.
Important changes in the Italian ministry are
hinted at. Some reconstruction of the cabinet of
Turiu is said to have been necessitated by the
arrival of M. Benedetti at his post. If Baron Rica.
soli must remain at the head of affairs, at least._
so ran the bond which accompanied the French re-
cognition of the Italian kingdom —we will
not be obliged to come in daily contact with him.
And so the President of the Council changes his
portfolio. He takes that of the Interior, and
Count Arese succeeds him as Minister of Foreign
affairs. Count Arose has, in point of fact, been
posed, if I MU rightly informed, upon Victor Em-
manuel by the Emperor Napoleon. Whatever may
be the result of these changes, as regards the foroi.4u
alliances of Italy, the advent of Baron Rica soli to
the Ministry of the Interior cannot fail to be attended
with the happiest results. Italy requires above all
things administrative unity, in order to mould her
various elements into one harmonious whole. )f.
Minghetti has hitherto failed to attain this object,
and it is one worthy of the master mind of Ricaaoli.
The portfolio of War will be taken by General
Della Rovere, who will be replaced in Sicily by
General Briguoue.
A Naples correspondent writes to the Patric :

I can assure you that the English naval commander'
were "invited" to abstain from practising firing their guns
in the port of Naples. It wee, in fact, an excesaire tolemoce
to allow the crews of men-of-war, anchored at 150 mares
from the coast, to be firing cannon and small arms all 4,
at a mark in water filled with Iltaunboats and ships of all
aorta.

The same journal announces that the Marquis de
Lavalette is going to Rome as ambassador, and
that his departure for the Eternal City will be
contemporaneous with the arrival of the new nuncio,
Mgr. Chigi, at Paris. Finally,we have,iu the Patri,,
an article upon Italy, in language considerably
more measured than we have recently been accus-
tomed to find in its pages. Au " indication" in
this sense may have been forwarded to it from
bead-quarters.

A letter from Rome, in the Pays, mention.' the
regulations at the theatres for the autumn pro-
mulgated by the Director of Police, M. Mateucci.
All applause or expressions of dissatisfaction are
absolutely forbidden. Bouquets are not to be flung
on the stage. The director is held responsible for
the conduct of his artists. In the same letter it is
stated that a band of reactioniste between Ceprano
and Froxinone,attempting to cross the frontier,was
stopped and disarmed, orders being asked for from
Rome on the subject. As the troops who seized
these brigands were Italian, the "orders" must
have been asked of the French, and net the Roman
authorities. This is not accurately explained.
I am assured by a person recently arrived from
Vienna that the Hungarian cause is must un-
doubtedly popular with the bourgeoisie of the city,
while that class is opposed to the general tendency
of the Bchmerling policy. A telegram represents
the deputy Smolka as maintaining that the absence
of a great number of deputies should be considered
SA a vote of non-confidence in the ministry. lam
assured that doubt is entertained by many mem-
bers as to the legality of voting money under the
circumstances of such absence.

The Bourse opened flatly, but improved slightly
towards the close. Rents rose 10c. for cash and sc.
for account, closing prices being 68fr. 80c. and 68fr.
85c. respectively. Mobilier left off worse, closing
at a decline of 2fr. 50c. for cash and lfr. 25c. for
account, the prices being 75.5 fr. and 750 fr. 25c.

Mr. Thackeray has arrived in Paris on a brief
visit.

The French Institute has just lost one of its
oldest members in the parson of 11. Berthier, aged 79.
The deceased was elected academician in 1827 for the sec.
tioo of mineralogy, in the room of Baron Ramon.

The Empress Eugenie on Sunday last laid the
first stone of an hospital to bear the name of "Aide Sainte
Eugenie." intended for the reception of soldiers and poor
persons to whom the nse of the waters of Eaux.Bonnes may
be prescribed by their medical attendants.

The Pnngolo of Milan states that Garibaldi i 4
unwell at Caprem, and that, notwithstanding the advice of
his friends, he has taken to a quack remedy, which pos-
sessed considemble celebrity about 30 years ago limier the
name of Itedecine Leoroy. As it is a powerful cathartic,
its me bad reduced him to ► deplorable state of weakness.

A Berlin letter has the following :—" It is
thought probable that the Prince of Wales will assist at the
manceuvres of the 7th and Bth Corps d'Armeo on the Rhine.
On the occasion of his Majesty's coronation Counts de
Dolma, Arnim, Redern, and Blucher will be raised to the
rank of prince. The two sons of the Dukes of haze-
Coburg-Cohary have entered the service as lieutenants in
the Coburg battalion, which is now incorporated in the
Prussian army."

Complaint; have been made of treatment to which
peinengers are liable in the steamers between Ohan and
Glasgow. On Saturday last, it is stated, the steamer
Mountaineer started from Oban with a good number 0J
saloon passengers, who had paid full farm for the best wo-
commodation, and the boat was subsequently filled with
hundreds of Glasgow excursionists, of whom a large propor-
tion were in a state of intoxication and who were allowed
to occupy without control all parts of the vessel. Several
fight. occurred, whisky was pa'.sed round in teacups, cud
oaths and indecencies prevailed on all sides.

BETWEEN DOVER AND OSTEN D. --Com Ilene i tog
on Monday next, the 2nd of September, the Soutli.Eilicern
Railway Company will run • boat on week days between
Dover and Ostend, leaving Dover at 11.4. a.m. and (Mend
in the reverse direction at 11.45 am. The baste will be
in connexion with the train from London-bridge at 1.30
am., arriving at Brussels at 9.25 p.m., and Cologne et
4.40 a.m. : and on the inward journey, with the train due
at London at 8.35 p.m., from Brussels at 7.35 sap., and
from Cologne the previous evening. This new service
will supply a went in the meson of quick communica-
tion rid Ostend, with Belgium, Germany, end the
north of Europe. Passengers for the destinations
mentioned, and generally to and from the north of Europa
can by this route avoid the long or !light era passage, sad
have the accommodation of a service free from chime of
marriage between the port and Brussels. They will al'o be
secured from the contingency of separation from their
baggage, at times unavoidable when travelling by the
mail boats, the post-office regulations having regard
to the quick transit of the mails more than to the con.
venienco of passengers. The day Ostend service will
also be available for the transport to London of fresh
provisioos from Holland and the Netherlands, which
articles require only rapidity of transit to develops
• lance and maul trade. The new arrangements will
complete six daily services to and from the cootinent
in connexion with the South Eastern Railway—via., one
by day and one by night by each of the three routes ot
Folkesteoe and Boulogne. Dover and Calais, and D iyer
and Ostend, making twelve voyages per day between tie
two countries. The South Eastern fleet of steamers num-
bers at present ten tint-class vessels, including the uew
boats lately launched, which are said to posscm all Cm
most recent improvement*, and are expected to shorten the
time hitherto occupied in crossing the Channel by at letot
one.fourth. The new pier at Folkestone is sufficiently
complete for use, and affords the means of lauding and
embarking, at all times of tide, which will permit con-
siderable improvements to be made in the hours of the
tidal services. To enable these to be performed at fined
hours requires hot the completion of the harbour works
now in progress on the French side.
REVOLTING DIVORCE CASE —At the prewsit
moment the town's talk is of a peculiarly horrible case
which is pending before one of the law court+, and which
certainly testifies to the existence of an alarming amount of
moral corruption. A man agreed wealth and well known
in a rertain portion of Parisian society amid his wife are
pleading for • separation, and them are, it appears.
the fact, of the case :-1. The wife was faithless to her
marriage vow on more than one occasion and with MON
than one person ; end yet she has several children both by
her present and a former husband. 2. The men held his
married state in such contempt that he ostentatiously pro-
tected • notorious actress. 3. He led setray from the paths
of virtue am of the daughters of his wife toy her first mar-
riage. 4. He made his own brother marry the dishonoured
daughter. Such an accumulation of horrors iu a French
novel would be regarded as a revolting improbability; lAA
it has actually occurred in real life to a couple moving in
the good society of Paris.—Paris letter in The Pros.
