PARIS, Wacirseriar Bviniro.
The improvement in the Bourse, of which there
were symptoms yesterday and on Monday, has been
very decided to-day. The Rents opened with great
animation, under the influence of news that con-
siderable remittances had been received yesterday
from New York by several commercial firms. One
house alone,it was said, that of Cottinet, had received
600,000 fr. The inference drawn was that the
effects of the necessary reaction from the disturbed
balance of trade between Paris and New York
will now be rapidly perceptible. The first price of
the Rents was 86fr. 86c., and after a fall to 88tr. 80e.
it rose again, and becoming very firm at the close,
left off at 87fr. for cash, and G7fr. 10e. for account,
with a rise of 3Mr. and 46fr. Mobilier rose 20fr.
The railways were in great demand, and rose
considerably. Orissa., 21fr. 60e. ; Northern,
17fr. 60e.; Eastern, 12fr. SOe. ; Lyons, 27Cr. 60e.;
Weston, 27Cr. Isoc. ; Southern, sfr. ; and Orand
Central, 3fr. 75e. Austrians rose 20fr., and Sar-
dinians, 17Cr. 60e.

Mr. Joseph Simon, the government candidate, has
been elected a member of the Corps Legislatif for
the 4th circumscription of the Loire Inferieare, in
the place of M. Demers, deceased. There was no
serious opposition, as may be perceived by the fol-
lowing state of the poll :—Namber of registered
electors, 31,703; voted, 23,743. Voted for the go-
vernment candidate, 23,720 ; voted for M. Tournier,
7; voted for M. Alphonse Fleury, 5 ; lost votes, 15.
It is most wonderful, and a fact that speaks
volumes as showing the perfect discipline of univer-
sal suffrage in France, that at an isolated election
in a district where there L not the least electioneer-
ing excitement, it should be possible to induce more
than two thirds of the constituency to put them-
selves to the inconvenience of going from their
homes to register their votes in favour of a govern-
ment nominee whom nobody thinks of opposing.

The retirement of M. Nefftzer from the iresse
has led to a law suit between the manager M. Rouy,
and the proprietor, M. Millaud, who, it may be re-
membered, bought the property of M. E. de Gi-
rardin, subject to certain rather unusual and com-
plicated conditions. M. de Girardin endeavoured to
convey the Press* in such a way as to enjoy to
some extent the privileges of a testator as well as a
vendor, and to imprint the stamp of his own will
upon the management of the journal for some time
to come. A difference has now arisen which the
Tribunal of Commerce will be called upon to solve.
In the meanwhile both parties are agreed that the
duties of redaeteur en chef shall be confided to M.
Psyrat. M. Pauchet, who now signs the lead-
ing column in M. Nefftzer's place, is only the secre-
tary of redaction.
The bust of M. Abbattucci is to be placed in the
Museum of Versailles, and the Emperor has written
an autograph letter to M. Charles Abbettucci to say
that he has lost not only a minister, but a personal
friend, and that his friendship for tho father will be
continued to the children. It is rumoured that M.
C. Abbattuoci will shortly bo made a councillor of
state.

PIEDMONT.

TURIN, Nov. 18.

The second election. in the cases where the first
were not decisive have begun to-day, and are very
numerous. Of those elections the result of which
is already known, more than two-thirds are in favour
of the government. The great number of second
elections is attributed to the fact that the clerical
party is perfectly disciplined and organised, which
the liberal party is not. Hence it is that there will
be in the Chamber a considerable minority of the
clerical party, while the fraction of the extreme
left will be quite insignificant.

A letter from Copenhagen, of the 16tb, says
"The Kinghas been staying for route days et lagereprits, on
the estates of the Countess Deaner, where a grand hunting
party is assembled. Amongst the guests is Id. Scheele."
The streets of Melbourne wore lighted with
gas for the first time on the 10th of August, and preps's-
bone are being made for illuminating the suburbs by the
fame [DOW.
A weekly newspaper in the Scandinavian dialect,
and intended for circulation among the Swedes, Danes, and
Norweeiene resident in Australia, has made its appearance
in Melbourne under the title of NordeN.
Two young girls at lnterlacheu, on the Bth of this
month. accompanied their brothers and their music-muter
on an ;mould.= to the summit of the steep hill of Harden.
When they had to deemed, finding the turf so slippery that
they could not keep their feet, it was proposed that the girls
should sit tipori a kind of extempore contrived with
some fir branches, and be drum along by their companions.
Unfortunately they had gone but a few yards before they
slipped off, and, clasped in each whim's arms, rolled down the
precipice. When their horrified friends got down after them,
the elder girl Ina dead, and her outer, who wail but victim
pare of age, died a few minute. after.

FORTNIGHTLY AUSTRALIAN MAIL—As it is the
intention of the government to establish weekly intercourse
with our East Indian territories, an adjunct plan might be
easily effected for running steamers between Point de Gall.
and the newest point on the Australian omit—say Nepean
Bay—for the conveyance solely to and fro of the nails and
i,,,,seaforr, By this short voyage • fortnightly transmission
of letters would be secured, and the expense of carrying out
this most desirable arrangement would be comparatively in-
eignitirant. If it ie necessary to retablieh weakly communime
don with the East Indies, surely the enormous trade of
Australia with the mother•oountry, and which, moreover Is
so rapidly increasing, demands something more than a
monthly mail, and that, moreover, by the long unbroken see
voyage to Sues, which experience shows renders the steamers
bale to accident and delay. The eagerness with which the
arrival of each vessel from Australia is now looked for, in
respect of her freight of gold alone, is unmistakeable evidence
of the importance which the monetary world attaches to the
elpstsios of the produce of thew colonies in this particular,
