MARKETS IN FRANCE.

The Paris corn market was much affected yesterday by
telegraphic despa`ches announcing a considerable decline in
prices at Lille, where the fall was 3f. per hectolitre of
wheat, and at Marseilles from lf. to 2f, Yesterday a firm
at Havre s ,Id 14,000 barrels of American flour, at prices
varying from 32f. to 37f. The decline at Paris was fully
21. per sack for wheat.

The telegraph between Constantinople and Vienna will
shortly be open to the public. Thirteen florins is named as
the price of an ordinary message between the two capitals.
With the proclamation of peace we notice the issue of
advertisements intimating the speedy resumption of
regular steam communication between this country and
St. Petersbnrg.

The inkstand used by the plenipotentiaries was
specially manufactured for the purpose. It is a splendid
work of art, in the style of the first empire, and the cost
is estimated at 11,000 fr.

THE FIRE AT MESSRS. A. AND S. HENRY'S MANCH" STER
WAREHOUSE.—The loss by this fire is estimated at between
£15,000 and .20,000. The insurances for stock and
building amount to £89,000, divided among sixteen
offices.

MILITARY APPOINTMENT.—Major-General Sir H. D.
Jones, of the Royal Engineers, whose services at the siege of
Sebastopol and at Bomarsund will be remembered, has
been appointed, by Lord Panmure, governor of the Royal
Military College, Sandhurst.

DUBLIN, March 29.—Private Michael Byrne, 69th regi-
ment, who was tried by court-martial last month for general
insubordination, and flinging his cap in the face of Major
Hickey, commanding the depot of the regiment in this garri-
son, has been sentenced to eight years' penal servitude.

An attempt to dramatise the ‘-‘ Paradise Lost " of Milton
has been made at the Ambigu Comique, but continuing the
history of the Creation until the Deluge. As a drama, of
course (says Galignani), the thing is absurd, but the variety
and beauty of the scenery and getting up will probably
secure it a certain run.

The telegraphic despatch sent by the Pope in reply
to that of the Emperor Napoleon, announcing the birth
of the Imperial Prince, and asking for the apostolic
benediction, was, according to one of the French
religious journals, in the following terms :—" I bless the
Emperor, the Empress, the Imperial Infant, and
France ! "

GENEROSITY OF THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.—An
Englishman in very reduced circumstances, who is a staunch
advocate of Louis Napoleon, wrote him a letter of congra-
tulation (on the impulse of the moment), the first day the
birth of the Imperial Prince was announced ; and, in return
for his good wishes, received the grant of a pension of 2,500
francs per annum.
THE CONVICT Thon-)GooD.—On Sunday, the governor
of the county jail, Springfield, received an official intimation
from the Home Office that her Majesty had been graciously
pleased to " extend her royal mercy" to James Thorogood,
convicted at our late assizes of being accessory to the
murder of Hales, the gamekeeper, ' on condition that he be
transported beyond the seas for the term of his natural life."
—Cheelmsford Chronicle.

THE IRISH BENCH.--The ion. Robert Torrens, one of
the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, in Dublin
(whose death we announced), was appointed judge in 1823,
and had, consequently, occupied a seat upon the bench
during the long period of 33 years. The vacant seat in the
Common Pleas will, as a matter of course, be offered to Mr.
Attorney-General. Keogh, M.P., whose acceptance of the
dignity is no longer doubtful.
THE OPERA AT BRUSSELS.—The Theatre de la
Monnaie, the national opera house of the Belgians—which
was burnt to the ground in 1854 with much the same sud-
denness and rapidity as Covent Garden Theatre—was
reopened a few days since with great ceremony. The
house was rebuilt at the expense of the townspeople ; and
unanimous praise has been accorded to the architect, M.
Poelaert, who in a very short time has restored the edifice
to even more than its ancient splendour.
The Neapolitans are much gratified by a fact recently
brought to light. Giulio Blanco, a shoemaker, of Aversa,
near Naples, was the man it appears, who planted the
French flag on the Malakhoff Tower. He left this country
some years ago for Algiers, where he entered a company of
the Zouaves. With them he embarked for the Crimea, and
there he performed that act which has procured him his
captaincy, the Cross of the Legion of Honour, and the order
of St. Maurice and of Lazzaro.

DEATH OF A AlisEn.—On Saturday, Thomas Harrison,
who was reputed to be in the most abject poverty, expired
in an obscure lodging on Great Saffron-hill. During an
occupation extending over a quarter of a century, he
never associated with any of the neighbours—he went out
every morning at eight o'clock, and returned in the
evening, and it was considered that he touted for employ-
ment as a porter. Shortly before his death he added a
codicil to his will, which he had deposited in a secure
place. It was ascertained that he bequeathed upwards of
£7,000 in Consols to his relations, not one of whom he had
seen for thirty years, and to the kind neighbour who
attended him he left £2OO.

COURT MARTIAL.—A garrison court martial has been
held at the Royal Artillery barracks, Woolwich, to try
the pay sergeant of No. 1 company of the 14th battalion,
stationed at Dover, on two charges—first, for having
written or caused to be written an anonymous letter,
addressed to Lord Panmure, couched in language highly
disrespectful of his commanding officer; second, for
having demanded a per centage on all moneys he paid
away on behalf of the company to which he belonged.
The court, composed of the chief officers of the garrison,
after due deliberation, found the prisoner not guilty of
writing the letter addressed to Lord Panmure, but found
him guilty of the second charge, for which he was
sentenced to be reduced to the rank and pay of a private
soldier.

~';:GAROTTE ROBBERY AT WALTON.—Lately, William
Harrison and John Owen were brought before the county
magistrates on a charge of having robbed a lady named
Mrs. Jane Crowe, the wife of Mr. Crowe, of Ashfield, of
a gold chain and watch. It appeared that the lady was
proceeding along the road about four o'clock in the after-
noon, when she was suddenly seized by one man (the pri-
soner Harrison) who caught hold of her throat, while the
other man took from her her gold watch and chain. They
then made their escape, but were pursued over several
fields, and were eventually captured after a severe
struggle. The watch was subsequently found in a ditch.
The prosecutrix swore positively that it was the prisoner
Owen who had taken her watch, and identified the one
found by other witnesses. The prisoners were committed
to take their trial at the next Kirkdale. Sessions.
