PARIS, FRIDAT EVEXIX(

The question of a short extra session of the Corps
Legislatif this summer, which has been undoubtedly
discussed at a council of ministers. his been resolved
is the negative. I believe it will shortly be an-
nounced otlicially that the Chamber will not be con-
voked before the end of January or the beginning
of February. The republican deputies will there-
fore have a long time for consideration before being
placed under the necessity of deciding whether to
take the oath or not.

It was telegraphed from London yesterday that
the Dully News had pronounced against Lord Pal-
merston's speech in reference to the project:4 canal
through the Isthmus of Suet. The subject excites
great interest here.
The Bourse pursues its downward course. Not-
withstanding the announcement in the Monittur
that the interest on Treasury bills is lowered 4 per
cent., all sorts of securities were offered at the
beginning of business, and closed at the lowest
prices of the day. The Rents fell 90c. both for cash
and account, closing for both at 60fr. 80c. Mobilier
fell 26fr. 29c. The weekly returns of the receipts of
the railway companies are not so good as they have
been of late. The market was weak, with very
little business doing. Orleans, Northern, Lyons and
Mediterranean fell from 10fr. to ldfr., and the other
lines from 2fr. 90e. to Mr.

A decree of the Prefect of Police placarded to day
effects an immense revolution io the time-honoured

regulations of hackney carriages in Paris. The
system of rides by the course for a uniform fare is
abolished. The cabman is to be paid by time alone.
A carriage may be taken for a single quarter of an
hour, and there is a graduated scale of fare fa'
every additional tiro minutes for the first hour,
after which 16c. for five minutes is to be paid. The
Sew tariff is very much in favour of cabby. It is
only in the Can of very short rides that the public
will benefit by it. The two wheeled cab, which by
the old tariff was forced to go by the course when-
ever the fare desired, even if it were from the
Barrire du Trone to the Barriire des Rattails,
for lfr. 10c., may now charge 75c. for one quarts"
of an hour ; and the fiucre, holding four mum,
may take 90e. for the same time, instead et
115. 2.5 e. by the course. There is to be a mechanical
contrivance fixed inside the carriage, which will
auk the time and prevent all disputes. I am not
aware what arrangements are made to compel the
drivers to go at a proper pace. The tariff is very
tomplicated, and there are no hoe than sixty-five
explanatory articles which it will take the Parisians
long while to muter. The great fact for you

readers is that English families will no longer study
the map of Paris to KO what is the utmost possible
distance that they could compel an unfortunate
cabman to drive them for a single fare. It
must be owned that the simplicity of the
old arrangement was obtained at the expense of
equity. It was absurd that a man, carriage, and
horse should be compelled ti go four or five miles
for the same fare as for a quarter of a mile. Now
the remuneration will be in precise proportion to the
service rendered.

The bulletin of Ileranger's health is more alarming
than the butt.

"JULY 10, BLVEN A.M.—M. Bellinger has passed
a disturbed night. He is less calm, and suffers more
than yesterday."

CONSTANTINOPLII. Jeer 1.
The mercantile classes here are making great
efforts, and would even consent to some sacrifices,
for the realisation of the projected bank, bit there is
a general opinion that the capital, five t. lions of
Turkish lire, is utterly inadequate to the great opera-
tions to be carried on here. For the last five daysl
the subscription has been opened at the Weis
bankers, Messrs. Tubini and Corpi, and 800,000 i.
sterling has already been subscribed for the bank in
question. The following are the conditions of
subscription :—As soon as 150,000 shares (each share
being 20 Turkish lire) shall have been taken, the
subscribers will meet to appoint the committee which
is to draw up the statutes of the bank. When the
statutes are drawn up, the shareholders will
proceed to the election of eighteen directors
and two auditors, to whom the management
of the bank will be entrusted. A meeting is
legally constituted when two-thirds of the
shareholders entitled to vote are present
The qualification for voting is the holding of 160
shares ; the holder of SOO shares will have two votes,
and of 1,000 shares three votes. The shareholders are
bound to deposit 10 per cent. of the amount of their
shares immediately in the hands of the directors, to
serve a• a guarantee ; the remainder will be called
up as required. In case of payments being delayed,
the shares may be forfeited and sold.
You have already heard of the act of piracy com-
mitted by the 'Wieling at the Circassian ports of
Gelindjik and Bonita& Ksleh. A Russian war
steamer from Anapa availed herself of the ruse of
hoisting the English flag to approach the port of
Gelindjik. Prince Sefer Pacha gave orders long
ago that vessels of every nation should be freely ad-
mitted to the Circassian harbours, so that the

inhabitants felt not the least alarm or
suspicion, when the Russian steamer came
within cannonshot, until she began to tire
upon the sandals or barks which were anchored in
the harbour, and this wen continued till they were
all sunk. After perpetrating this act of barbarous
destractiveness, the Rumian steamer went on to
floajonk Kaleh,and there landed a company of troops,
who plundered the stores and burnt whatever they
maid not carry off; several children are said to have
perished in the conflagration. At Soujouk Kaleh
also, before they departed, the Russians destroyed
the sandals, except a few which they took hack with
them to Anapa. It is to be hoped that the parties
to the Congress of Paris will not allow such a vio-
lation of the neutrality of the Black Sea to pass
without rebuke. Sefer Pacha has, through his
Napa Kiaja, who is Achmet Aga, delivered to the
Porte his formal protest against what has occurred,
and he will address a similar protest to all the
powers which signed the Treaty of Paris.

be freed from this stigma. But while the law exulted it
must be put in force, and the jury would find their verdict on
the euppoaition that the action wee a proper one.
The first question they would have to consider was, whether
the set of adultery bad been mule out to their irtiefaction.
The rupees evidence of an eye witness could not be expected,
and was very rarely Awed, and ell Holten required war, that
such evideree should be laid Won tin jury as would

that the &abed inenatoomplialset Thotwo bade witnesses
In this case—Belly and Mennsiti—gave eery strong evidence
in proof of the adultery. They seemed to he very modest
and well-conducted girls, disposed to tell the truth, but on
that matter the jury would form their own opinion. They
were wholly uncentradicted, and nothing had been proved
which went In the slightest degree to their discredit.
With regard to the ion of damages, his lordship thought
there was no grmednfor giving a large amount. No evi-
dence of deliberate seduction had been brought against
the defendant. The pleintiff's wife bad certainly been
reduced to • very depraved state. It was suggested that
they had lived happily and virtuously together until they
became acquainted with the defendant, who corrupted her,
but of that there was no satisfactory evidence. But unfor-
tunately she war not alone to blame, and in eelimating the
they moot consider what had been proved a=
die:it:bead. One witness saw the plaintiff
her down three or four times, and also saw him
come home tipsy. Nothing could justify or palliate such
conduct. The jury would, therefore, probably think that the
damages ought not lo be exceseive, but still there war no such
misconduct on the part of the plaintiff as perhaps would induce
them to say that the damage. ebould be merely nominal.
They could not upon the .encs give
_damage* to mark
their opinion that the plaintiff had miewnducted hitueelf and
brought his own dishonour on himself.
The jury retired, and, lifter • brief absence from court,
returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 2001.
There were several other nettles on the paper for to-day,
but the counsel on both sides in none of them were present,
and they were consequently not tried.
