EXPRESS FROA PARIS.

(CROP[ OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

The Bulletin des Lois of this day publishes an
Imperial decree, dated Dec. 18, formally ordaining
that the Cathedral of St. Denis shall be the bury-
ing place of the Emperors of the French. It is
known to be the wish of the Emperor to remove the
remains of his uncle from the Invalides to St. Denis,
but Prince Jerome is opposed to the measure, and in
all probability the splendid tomb in the IncaEdell,
of which he is the guardian, will not be desecrated
as long as he lives. Tile Emperor thinks it would
be more " dynastic" that his family should be buried
among the ancient Kings of France, and he wishes
particularly to place the body of Napoleon I. on that
very spot which—as all visitors to St Denis will
have remarked—he is represented in one of the
painted glass windows as selecting for his final rest-
ing place. . . .

The Presse his reason to know that nothing has
yet been decided with regard to a new meeting of
the Paris Conference.

M. Villas, the Mayor of Macon, has been sus-
pended by the Prefect of the SaOue and Loire: the
reason has not transpired.
A riding-muter of the Sumer Cavalry School,
Captain Jauchene, met with his death last week in
an extraordinary manner. His horse ran away with
him and plunged into the Loire. The captain dis-
appeared in the water, and his dead body was not
found till after a long search. The horse, when it
had shaken off its rider, swam safe to shore.

A house in Douai was blown up the other day,
and considerable damage was done in the street of
Fort-de-Keel, in consequence of some powder taking
fire in the house of a blacksmith named Cornille,
who carried on an illicit trade in gunpowder. One
man was blown almost to atoms—his leg was picked
up in the street, while his body was buried in the
ruins, but he was still alive, though in a desperate
condition. Cornille himself, and one of his children,
were slightly burnt. He confesses that he obtained
the powder from a corporal of the 6th Chasseura.
Cornille and the corporal are arrested.

PARIS, SATURDAY EYRNINO.

New Year's-day has been favoured by finer wea-
ther than we have enjoyed for nearly a month past.
The mud and rain, which for the last week have
turned the Boulevards into a swamp and driven the
toy stall-keepers to despair, gave place this morning
to a white frost and a thick fog, which two symp-
toms greatly divided the prophecies of the weather-
wise. The sun at length gained the day, and the
streets have been as full of holiday folk as could be
desired. The receptions at the Yuileries were un-
usually well attended. The courtyard was nearly
full of carriages all the morning, and certainly. if
the prosperity of the Empire can be measured by the
improved appearance of the equipages of its func-
tionaries, there has been marked progress since lest
year. The number of hackney carriages has
greatly diminished, and gorgeous liveries have
increased in a very great proportion. 'the
only other novelty in the day was the
appearance, on one of the pillars of the Rue Rivoli
opposite an entrance to the Tuileries, of the follow-
ing stimulus to loyal feeling, written on an immense
sheet of white paper in a schoolmaster's hand :
Francela,—L'Emplre a enf, est, et was laminar'
La Oohs at Is smitten do is France,
Powwow dorm onanimement co cri
Ls peas beensonhaii qu'un sujia pulses fairs.

M. Leroy, the prefect of the Seine Inferieure, by
a circular dated Rouen, Dec. 24, has strictly ordered
all the communal schools in his department to dis-
continue the theatrical representations which the

children have been in the habit of giving on the oc-
casion of the annual distribution of prizes. The in-
terdiction applies as well to any recitations from
standard plays as to verses composed expressly foe
the prize meeting. The mayors are also to take
care that no schoolmaster makes any speech to his
pupils unless it is vise by the inspector of the
academy.
The Slick ventures to observe upon the above
ordonnance:

These !MASSIMO seem to no needlessly severe. From time
Immemorial, and under the Restoration as well as under Leal
Philippe, professor, have been in the habit of testing the me-
mory, the nerve, and readiness of Rick pupils by allowing
them to play parts in dramatic pieces either com-
posed ad hoc or selected from standard author'.
"Lee Ineottunedith de la Grandeur," by Jean Antoine
do Cereeau, was played by the scholars of the College
of Louis-le-Grand, first before the King of England, after-
wards before the Primes Palatine, end finally before Lottis
XV. We see no inconvenience in three annual repreeenta-
time, and, at any rata, it would have been enough to ',abject
them to previous mature without prohibiting them alto-
gather. _ . .

For my own part, I think the prohibition, to nee a
French expression, enters into the " logic of the
situation," and is altogether justifiable in a govern.
mental point of view. If the present system is to
be permanent, and if Frenchmen are to be in all
time coming docile instruments in the hands of the
priest, the policeman, and the soldier, it is absolutely
necessary to operate on the rising generation.
What untold germs of sedition may be sown in an
infant mind by the reading of a play ! As M. Drs-
fence truly said, when pleading for M. de Monta-
lembert, "if it is to be a crime to speak of liberty
even in theory, you must suppress Montesquieu and
Corneille." M. Leroy is making a beginning, and s
considerable one, towards this desirable consum-
mation.

M. Laroncidre le Nourv, captain in the navy, and
aide-de-camp to Prince Napoleon, whose departure
for Berlin about a month ago on a secret minion, the
object of which haa not yet transpired, excited con-
siderable curiosity at the time, has now gone to the
Prussian capital again. Before leaving Paris he
had a 10115 audience with the Emperor, and was
accompanied to the presence chamber by the Prince
Napoleon.
Count Sercey, a retired staff colonel, has gone to
Egypt on a secret mission.

At the levee on Saturday, the Emperor Napoleon
A reported to here told the Austria Minister, M. Hubner,
that ha regretted their relation' (rappo, !s) were so bad, but
that his personal mods:maw for the Emperor of Austria were
the sense in ever. A rumour circulates, also, that Marshal
Vs/neat, Minister of War, west up subsequently to M. Hub-
ert, sad ask: to hire, I supports I must not give you my
head attizr that." _ .

The King and Queen of Prussia, with their
'amorous suite, Itave tarn up their residettoe at the Cafe.
salli l'aleos on the Capitol at Rome, usually occupied by the
Prosaism Embassy.

It is stated that General Count Defitte de Suer,
Governor of Martinique, who has bean a keg time unwell,
is afflicted with Insanity of a melancholy character, which
heave" no hope of hie recovery, and which prevents him
from continuing hie function'.
. . .

A Nice letter of Thursday last gives the following
account of a duel fousht there .—" A deplorable event has
been the exclusive subject of conversation sines yesterday.
At the Philharmonic Club a dispute occurred a few days
since between a French gentleman, sixty years of age, and
the Count de B—, a young man of twenty-three or twenty-
four. The latter tore off the Frenchman's decoration—ea
insult which rendered a meeting indispensable. The par-
ties fought with pistols; Count 8— received hie 'bur-
sary's bell in hie chest, and is now lying at the inn near the
Pent du Var., in a state which leaves scarcely any hope of
his recovery." .

In spite of New Year's-day and its manifest
attractions for young folks, Professor Faraday found a
crowded hall awaiting his entrance on Saturday in the
theatre of the Royal Institution. The subject of the lee-
turn wan the conduction of heat and of electricity by metals
and their tenacity and malleability.
CHLOROFORM AT THE ROYAL ACCOCCIIEMENT.—.
From • memoir of the late Dr. Snow, in the Maisel
Times, we learn that on April 7, 1853, he adminis-
tered chloroform to her Majesty at the birth of Prince
Leopold. A note In his diary records the event. The ha
halation lasted fifty-three minute,. The chloroform wu
given on • handkerchief In fifteen minim doses, and the
Queen expressed bereelf as greatly relieved by the se-
ministration. He had previously been consulted on the
occasion of the birth of Prince Arthur in 1850, but had eat
been called in to render his services: Previous to the
birth of Prince Leopold he had been honoured with as
interview with hie Itoyal Highness Prince Albert, of
returned much overjoyed with the Prince's kindness NA
great intelligence, en the mimetic pram which had format
the subject of their conversation. On the 14th of April,
1857, another note in the diary thounts the fact of the
administration of chloroform to her Majesty at the birth of
the Priacess Beatrice The chloroform again exerted its be-
neficent inflame" and her Mei...ly mos moue:pressed here
pelf as much satisfied with the result. Inquisitive folk
often overburdened Snow, after those events, with a multi-
tude of questions of an unmeaning kind. Ha anewend
them with all good-natured reserve, "Her Majesty fa a
model patient," was his usual reply—a reply which, ha
once said, seemed to answer every purpose, and was very
trim. One lady of an inquiring mind, to whom he wee
administering chloroform, got very loquacious during the
period of excitement, and declared elm would inhale no more
of the vapour unless she were told what the Queen
said, word for word, when the wan taking it. "Her
Majesty," replied the dry doctor, "eked no queeticee
until ohs hoe breathed very mach longer than you have•
end if you will only go on in loyal imitation, I will tell
you everything." The patient could not bur follow the
exempts held out to her. In a few seconds she forgot all
about Queen, Lords, and Commons; and when the time
came for • renewal of beetiliiiee, round that her clever
witness had gone home to his dinner, leaving her with the
thirst for knuerkthre still on her tongue.
R.kILWAT GATES.—At the Huddersfield police-
*Dart last week, Janos Clapham. farm servant, in the employ
of Memos Haigh, of Caine-bridge, was charred by Ms.
Batley, solicitor, on behalf of the Llndon and North-Warta
ani Railway Company, with having omitted to abut and
fasten a gate near the Heath-lodge Junction, by which emir
siaa a horse had escaped, oberiv.red the line, and thrown off
the rails • pathanger-train, by which the lives of the Inman-
gen were fearfully imperilled. Mr. Floyd, solicitor fm
the defence, contended that his clout bed clotted the gate
with the spring mach, and had therefore done his duty, the
requirement of locking the gate never having been under-
stood to be the duty of persons in such vises. The evidence
adduced on both sides we. of a coufbc,ing character' tho
station-master deposing that the gate was found open after
the accident, while on the other aide it was shorn that the
gate had been polled to end faatened. The magistrates fined
the defendant 20s, and coop, but intimated that the compeny
ought to have provided a better fattening for the gate. The
defendant's attorney gave notice of appeal.
POSITION OF THE Jaws IN THE PAPAL STATER.
—The following letter, for the authenticity of which we (the
Jewish Chronicle) can vouch, hat been placed at our doelll
by a touch reepected on-religionist :—•• My dear frien-1
fear that I cannot do scything here in bebalf of the Mortars
case because, as I hare, the Pope is very indignant at the
publicetione made by the public prep* on this rubject, and
thinks the Jew, are the author.. Though no steps appear to
be taken (openly) by the Papal government spinet the Jews,
neverthelees, there is indirectly, plainly discernible, the oom-
mencement of a very severe system of persecution. The
recent earth of Jewish honatio for Christian servants
was executed suddenly, and the fine. were imposed
without any justification, or wittier., or opportunity
for defence. I know the Fops ha; given positive
orders that the restrictions on this point shall be carried out
with the greatest rigour. A young man, an Israelite, who
has been lately examined aa • phi skim, and who passed hie
examination, and was found fully competent to receive •
license to practise his profession, has been refused the license
simply on account of hie religion, nor could he even procure
permission to act in the capacity of an assistant in an ape-
thecary's shop. In aeveral towns in the provinces, your
brethren canted stop at all, whether for business or wherries,
without being subject to One or inthrivenuent. Indeed, my
good friend, persecutions against the breadths in the domi-
nions of the Popo are again rearing their beads. I regret to
say, to the Miami of the Lula church, and to the disgrace
and shame of the age in which we liss. When will the re-
called Christian nations Act, for themselves, and with. W
against other. in accordance with their high prstetuathef

My dear Parishioners and rr zrz! When I now sit '

I mart painful and perplexing, to indite what will be, in

in the character of your pastor, I have before me •

my position ea the nominal minister of • parish con-
Moiler many thousand souls, and to the utter impos-
sibility of maintaining strictly pastoral relations with even
a email peoportioa of such an overwhelming population.'
I there anticipate the time 'when the creation of new
districts for ecclesiestkal purposes, under the sanction of
the legislator., shall relieve me from a part of the burden
which is too heavy for me to beer.' That time has strived;
districts have been created, church.. have been
consecrated, clergymen have been multiplied, but my
burden has not ban ashamed ; sad I have been deprive
fa the order of God's Providence (to which I humbly sub-
mit, ',ad which I reverently adore), of many est those Christian
friends by whom sympathy and succour I was enabled to
sustain it. What alternstive bare I then bat to oentem-
plat. retirement from a sphere of duty to which I daily feel
copra becoming mom and more unequal, and the retrospect
of which would overwhelm me with • sense of utter unproll-
tablenese, had Dot your kind and generous efforts supplied
your miniatee's inevitable lack of service, and thus enabled
me to accomplish what I must otherwise have attempted in
