EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FRIDAT EVENING.

The Bourse opened with firmness, and, after a
slight reaction, prices recovered to the opening quo-
tations, which were 66fr. 80c. for cash, and 66fr. tak.
for account, being a rise of 6c. and 20c. The amusing
reason given for the rise by the bulletin of the Preue
is that the Duke of Cambridge's speech led to the
expectation that the next packet from India would
announce the taking of Delhi. The French do not
appear to understand that the Duke of Cambridge
knows nothing more about the matter than any
other newspaper reader, and that his opinion that
the turning point of the disaster has been passed,
although we all hope it to be well founded, is only
based upon the intelligence opened to all the world.
Mobilier rose 15 fr. The railways were nearly all
higher, rising from 2fr. 50e. to Ofr.
A Lyons journal, in announcing the arrival in
that city of General d'Orgoni on his way to ltome,
states that the object of his mission there is to an-
nounce to the Pope, in the name of the Burmese
Emperor, that the catholic missions will not only be
tolerated, but even encouraged and aided throughout
the dominions of the Birman empire. General
d'Orgoni's adopted sovereign has, it appears, not
only built public schools, but has allotted funds for
the endowment of European professors. He also
proposes to found a catholic hospital, to be managed
by sisters of charity, and has promised to build
churches wherever a congregation may be found
desirous to have them. With each a programme
General d'Orgoni may well ask any favour of the
Pope, and preface his demands with the words Ego
et Res mess.

M. Emile de Wrardin, who it appears is satiated
with foreign travel, and has come to Paris for the
winter season, is reported to have brought with him
a new comedy, the fruit of his leisure hours, which
will shortly be produced ender the title of La Fills
dun Millionnaire. A friend of M. de Girardin's
suggests, somewhat ironically, that it is to be hoped
for the sake of the new piece that it may be imbued
with the spirit of his first wife, née Madlle. Dolphins
Gay. There is in truth nothing dramatic or poetical
in the known productions of M. E. de Girsrdin. He
is a hard writer of the Benthamite school, and was
wont in the Prone to ride logic to death. Nojournal-
ist was a match for him in a controversy, because he
kept an index of all the leading articles that had
been written for years past, and seldom failed to
convict his adversary of inconsistency. His ambition
was to appear before the public as a man always
right, and he succeeded to a great extent with
wonderful talent. His articles however, especially
latterly, were wearisome, because he seemed to dis-
miss for the sake of discussion, expending just as
much labour upon a question in which the public
took no interest as upon the most burning topic
of the day. It will be a great miracle if the charms
of a young wife, the sunny climate of Italy, and
some months' leisure, enjoyed for the first time during

a laborious life, .hall have converted this can-
tankerous journalist, of fifty years and upwards, into
• suooessful dramatist.

M. Perrot, a dismissed public schoolmuter, who
has lately trafficked at the Bomac, was sentenced to-
day to thirteen months imprisonment, for speaking
in as insulting way of the Emperor and a gocern-
ment functionary.
