The Union has received the following "oommuni.
cated" note :

The journal Union (number of Wednesday), in On article
acted De Riancy, extracted from the report of M. Anesi
Lima ea the budget of 18.58 the figure of the floating debt

at isms at 870,000,000 end the -figure of deroomsta

914000,000, and drew from the same the following
oceciaaion •—" The floating debt consist', therefore, d
870,000,000 on the one hand and of 913,000,000 on the othir,
or a total of 1,783,000,000." This oonclusion is completely
erroneous, and might lead to the formation of a eery hiss
idea with impact to oar financial position. The author al
the article should not ignore the fact that the Seating debt
has been crested in order to meet the deomeerfa of budgets,
that there exists between these two elements the relation al
cease and effect, and that the two figures consequently tors
bat one, and mast not be added one to the other.
A collision, attended with fatal consequences, to

eurred on the Strasbourg Railway yesterday. TEa
engine of the up-mail train ran off the rail near Bar,
le-Duc. The superintendent of that station sent all
an engine to bring the trim up and gave orders that
no train was to proceed along the line. Them

orders if understood were not attended to, fe

a luggage train shortly afterwards left the Bar-ls•
I)uc, and came into collision with the train M
distress. The driver, the stoker, and two men who
were on the assistant engine were killed and eight

passengers wero injured.
The Bourse opened with • better feeling, sad
became decidedly firm before the close. The Rents
rose 20c. for cash, and 15e. for account, closing s 1
69fr. 30c. and 119 fr. 25c. Mobilier rose 12fr. floe.
Railways were rather firm, the weekly returns being
very favourable, but the business done was not
large. Most of the lines rose from 2fr. floc. to sfiN
Beziers recovered in great measure from the heavy
fall of yestertloy, which is attributed to sinister
reports altogether unfounded. It was stated at the
Bourse that NI. do Germiny, the Governor of the
Credit Fonder Society, has been appointed Governor
of the Bank of France.

There are vague rumours of an attempt upon the
Emperor's life having been made yesterday, at or
near the Artillery Museum, in the Rue St. Thomas
d'Aquin, to which his Majesty paid a visit yester.
day, before going to St. Cloud. All that I know
for certain is that the journals have received orders
not to mention the fact of this visit.
The Illoniteur promulgates the following senates-
consultant passed at the last sitting of the Senate :
Art. 1. Article 35 of the constitution is modified es fol-
lows There shall be one deputy in the Legislative Holy
for every 35,000 electors ; nevertholem, there is given or
deputy more to each of the department. in which the nano
ber of the electors meads 17,600."
Art. 2. An Imperial decree will regatta the list of &pa-
tio to be sleeted in each department, in conformity with the
present neatus-ronsultum
The speedy publication of the above is considered to
be an indication that the general elections will take
place forthwith. I have even reason to think that
the decree convoking the electoral colleges will .p•
pear in the Moniteur to-morrow.
I expressed an opinion some months ago that the

project for the suppression of false titles was tel
absurd and impracticable to assume the form of I
law. The legislative session is now over, mad
nothing has been heard of the measure within the
walls of the Palais Bourbon. But the Minister el
Justice has issued a circular, desiring all judges sad
magistrates not to make use of any other names
titles or particles, than those appearing in the cer-
tificates of their birth. Compliance with this in.
junction will be a great bore to very many judicial
functionaries, who have no warrant for the names,
styles, and titles which they put upon their visiting
cards, and indeed the acknowledgment that the ne•
oessity for such an order exists is rather a slur upon
the bench. The circular, however, is a step in the
only practical course to be taken for checking the
assumption of false titles. It would be quite possible
in a country like France, where everybody is el.
petted to have "papers," to insist upon such evidence
of the true name and status of every individual re.
gaining any act del flat civil, as would make it
difficult in the majority of cues for pretender to

titles to escape detection and ridicule. Tha war.

A letter from Palais (Belle Isle) mentions Arnim-

An English brig, the John Edwards, bound Cron
