EXPRERS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, SUNDAY EMILIIG.

The Constitutiontwi, returning to the vexed sub-
ject of the 30,000 stand of arms in the Roman
States, says :
The Siiele and Opinion Nalionak have made a great deal
of noise about a pretended transfer of arms by the Pontifical
government to Francis IL, the which arms were taken from
Neapolitan troops who took refuge in the Papal States after
the siege of Gaeta. We have made precise inquiries on this
subject, and we can affirm most positively that those arms
are to this hour in the Roman arsenal where they were lint
deposited.

" Heaven be praised !" exclaims Le Temps, "there
are yet semi-official journals in France. Uno avulse
non deficit alter. The confident tone of the above
note must be a consolation to minds unsettled by
the recent disgrace of the Patric"

The Opinion Nationale pertinently inquires how
it happens that not only its own correspondence
from Rome, but that of the Siiek, the Ami de
(a Religion, the Monde, and several other journals
and agencies have all spoken of the cession of
arms above alluded to as a positive fact
"If the Conetitutionnel now speaks on its own
private authority, the correction of the news is
little worth. If it speaks officially, let it say so ;
for it is time that all uncertainty on such a subject
should cease."

For my own part, I believe that the Coustiter
home/ equivocates, and that the truth of the
matter is what I sent you yesterday. The arms
are not "all" in the arsenal where they were depo-
sited, but General de Goyou has interfered and
prevented Mgr. de Merode from taking any more
of them away.
The Journal de Cherbourg says it is intended to
make a strategetical movement on the coast by
means of which troops and munitions of war may
be transported rapidly to any point on which an
enemy might embark. The projected railway
would be aided by the system of electric sema-
phores already very generally in use on the French
coasts.

M. Gautier, formerly a professor in the College
of Sainte Barbe, and now tutor to the Duke de
Nemours' children, was yesterday tried by the
Seventh Correctional Chamber on a charge of
having introduced into France three copies of the
Duke d'Autnale's pamphlet entitled " Lettre stir
l'Histoire de France." It appeared that the scholas-
tic education of the Duke de Nemours' two eons
being finished, their father desired to place them at
the artillery school at Segovia, in Spain, and inasmuch
as they, being members of a proscribed family,
could not pass through France, they were sent
round by sea. But M. Gautier, who was requested
to attend them in Spain, wished to take the oppor-
tunity of seeing his friend' in Fran°e and accord-
ingly landed at Boulogne with his luggage, among
which there were a great many books and three
numbers of the incriminated pamphlet. The
court, presided by M. Rohault de Fleury, held,
after hearing M. Dufaure for M. Gautier, that the
intention to, show the books in France did not
sufficiently appear, and it pronounced a verdict of
acquittal, directing, however, the confiscation of
the three copies seized.
General Zabala, the Spanish Minister of Marine,
has arrived in Paris. The Pays tells as " latest
news" the following story, which does not Deem to
me very probable :—" On arriving at Marseilles
the Spanish Minister was asked for his passport,
and after feeling for it in his pockets be found that
be had left it at Baroelona. In order to set an
example of respect for regulations, General Zabala
went all the way back to Barcelona to fetch the
document which he had forgotten !"
On the same high authority (that of the Pays)
we learn that nothing is yet decided with respect
to the rumoured interview between Napoleon 111.
and the Queen of Spain in the Basque provinces.
General Prim, who was at Vichy, has come to
Paris.

M. Mon, the newly-appointed Spanish Minister
to this court, is expected to leave Madrid for his
post as soon as General O'Donnell joins the Queen
at Santander.

At Trouville, last Friday, a French gentleman
named Verdier, who rushed into the sea to aid his
wife and another lady who were carried away by
the tide, was unfortunately drowned. The two
ladies were saved.

Henry Pering Pellew Crease, Req., barrister, of
the Middle Temple, has been appointed Attorney-G*oml
of British Columbia.

A letter from Vienna nays:—" Although every
day met satisfactoey telegraphic despatches respecting the
Empress are received from Corfu, the Emperor has directed
Count de Grunne, Grand Equerry, to proceed to that island
that he may report to his Majeaty, from personal observa-
tion, the improvement which has taken place as the health
of the Empresa."

A letter from Rome in the Corriere deUe Marche
of Ancona, states that the Maszinians have endeavoured to
organise a committee in the Eternal City node• the ahalow
of Garibaldi's name, which they use without authority ;
but that the Roman people show them no favour, and that
the National Roman ooinmittee has oven salsa' 400 of
Mazz,M's bonds of five earlini each (the carlioo is 40
centimes), which were also being distributed in the name of
Garibaldi.

A letter from Lindau, in Bavaria, of the 22nD
Met., states that two Munich apprentices had jut been ap-
prehended at the railway station on their way to Italy to
awssicase Victor Emmanuel sod Garibaldi. They made
no secret of their intention. Loaded revolvers sad 100
dories were found upon than.

The Espero publishes a letter from Count Ponza
di Sen Mortis° to Count Galina, giving the reasons for his
resignation of the lieutenancy of the Nenpolitan provinces.
They mainly resolve themselves into the government's not
having supplied him promptly and in sufficient numbers
with troops for the maintenance of order, and its having
subsequently sent into the south Comma Cisidini with
independent authority for the suppression of disturbances.

A NOVELTY IN MILITARY HYORLYR.—A great
deal of scientific investigation as to the causes of the en.
*saintly high rote of mortality in our troops, especially in
India, has lately been going on amongst the military
bygeiats, and the conclusion has been arrived at that it is
the water drunk by the soldiers that does all the mischief.
The remedy proposed is, that for the future, " John
Sentry-box, who never, amongst all his &nits, was
accused of excess in his libations of the pure element, is, in
addition to its already too numerous and too heavy con-
tents, to carry a filter in his knapsack. A few marches
wider the sultry son of India, thus loaded, is all that will
be necemary topic for this bright idea all the popularity
it deserves.—United &rake Gazette. _ _

INSPECTION OF THE 20TH MIDDLESEX RIFLE
VOLUNTEERA.—Os Saturday erring, at hag=
o'cl clock the members of the 20th (North-west) •
Rifle Volunteers were inspected in the Regent's Park by
Colonel Erskine, Assistant-Inspects of Volunteers. The
regiment was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel
Bigge, F.G.S. After the inspection Colonel Erskine ad-
dressed the corps at some length, made several remarks se
to the attention they ought to devote to drilling porpoise,
and concluded by complimenting Colonel Bigge on the
excellent regiment he had under his command. Three
cheers were then given for the inspecting officer, the Queen,
Colonel Biggs, Colonel Bathurst, and the 12th Middlesex
for keepiijg the ground.
THE YEOMANRY CAVALRY.—On the evening of
the volunteer review at Warwick, on Wednesday last, his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the following
distinguished circle of visitors, who were invited to meet
his royal highness, dined at litoneleigh Abbey, the seat of
Lord Leigh :—The Hon. R. Charters, A.D.C., the Duke
of Newcastle, the Duke of Rutland, Lieutenant-Cereal
Sir G. Wetherell, Captain Hal, A.D.C., Lord Hatberton,
Red Grosvenor, Earl of Warwick, Lord Echo, Berl Den-
Lord Feading, Loed Richard Grosvenor, Lord Duds,
Lord Lyttelton, Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, Bart, the
lion. E. C. Leigh, the Hon. G. C. Scott, the Bight Hoo.
C. B. Adderley, Colonel M'Murdo (Inspector of Volun-
teers), Colonel Crenated, Lieutenant-Colonel B. King (War.
wickshini Yeomanry Cavalry), Colonel Vernon (Stafford-
shire Rifle Corp), Grand Wyndham, Mr. W. guy,
Colonel Mason, Sir W. Jones, Colonel White, hi_a)ar Dick.
Mr. Jervoise Smith, Carl Deichmanu, and Mr. W. Bache.
During the dinner the Doke of Cambridge suggested t
Lord Leigh the desirability of there being a review of the
yeomanry cavalry of the midland counties at Warwick, or
some other plane equally central ; such a suggestion would
certainly have his sanction and approval, end he should
be gratified to come down andreview them if there was a
sufficient force got together. His royal highnet - rid that
he thought it a very essential thing that the yeomenT7
cavalry of the country should be bet up, and that their
efficiency should be greatly increased.
Tax RIFLE CONTEST AT WORMWOOD SCUM.—
The third day's proceedings opened on Saturday with match
No. 5, appointed to take place on Thursday, but which did
not come off, fors Westley Richards' title to be shot for at
800 yards, 30 entree. The prim was well oompetcd for,
sad the following meths principal scores :—Ensign Dunlop,
bodes Scottish, 7 points ; Lieutenant Hawker, South
Middlesex, 7 ; Dr. Ryan, ditto, 7; Captain Fenton, We -t
Middlesex, 6 ; Sergeant Brooks, 12th Middlesex, 6 ; Captain
Bridgman, West Middlesex, 6 points. The ties were
shot off, and Dr. Ryan was the rinse .
The second competition was for • Lasseter
small bore as first prise, and London Armoury Company's
rifle as second prize, for which the principal scores were :
Mr. Siusdfonl, St. George's, 8 points ; Mr. Sirroue, South
Middlesex, 7 ; Lieuteonat Mariner, West Middlesex, 6 ;
Mr. Savory, St. George's, 6 ; Mr. Stewart, Inns of Court,
6 ; Mr. Lookysr, Royal Merino', 6 ; Sergeant Byrne, Soot.
Fusiliers, 6 ; Sergeant Besting, St. George's, 6 points.
These were the only prise competitions shot for during
the day, and at their conclusion it was srnoied
that the prizes should be distributed on the ground.
Captain Fenton, of the West Middlesex, in the absence
of Colonel Lindsay, undertook this duty. He could not
help congratulating the corps to which he was attached,
the West Middlesex (although himself personally unsuccess-
ful), that one of the principal prizes had been won by •
member of that corps, Lieut. Marriner. All, however, who
had been engaged had made • good show, and he locked
upon the present gathering, coming so min as it had after
the great ride contest at Wimbledon, as • peqect sooner;
indeed quite as much as could have been expected, although
the state of the weather had no doubt oontribated to
damage it to • great extent. He hai been reque-ted by
Colonel Lindsay, of the St. George's, to present these
prizes, and to express the regret of the gallant colonel that
Lis absence on such an ammo was wholly unavoidable.
