The Zradependarecs Beige of yesterday nye :—" On
Tuesday next our Legislative Chambers will resume
their labours without any solemnity. The repre-
sentatives and senators will assemble in their re-
spective stales, and will first occupy themselses
with the yeaification of the powers of the newly-
elected, and the constitution of the bureaux. It

appeals Certain that an official communication will
be made by the government to the legislature, and
that it will contain, amongst other matters, the con-
firmation of the happy news which we announced
some time ago; vie., the pregnancy of her Royal
Highness the Dueller de Brabant. This oommuni-
cation will naturally furnish an opportunity to the
Chambers of testitying, in an address of congratula-
tion to his Majesty, the confidence which they
place in the administration called by the royal
wisdom to direct the affairs of the country."

PARIS. SATURDAY STEWING.

_
The Mointeur contains a report to the Emperor
from M. Billault, the Minister of the Interior, in
which he says that in spite of all the prudence of
engaged in commerce in France, and all the
solicitude of the government, several branches of in-
dustry have, in consoluence of the present commer-
cial and monetary crisis, been compelled either to
, stop their manufacture or to dimiaiah the hours of
work. As, at the proach of winter, many work-
men end their familios may be exposed to sufferings,
the minister proposes to his Majesty to grant an ex-
traordinary credit of one million for the purpose of
I affording relief under those circumstances, by
enabling the communes to give employment in works
of public utility, and to establish cheap food kitchens.
The minister also proposes that the sufferers by the
last inundatioin in the Ardrlche shall participate in
the relief tole thus granted. The report is followed
by a decree opening an extraordinary credit of
300,000 fr. how the estimates of 1857, and another
of 700,000 fr. :tm those of 1858, to carry out the ob-
ject sat forth.
The Bonne has been very firm. Large purchases
have been effected on railway debentures, and the
improvement in those securities had a favourable
influence on Rente and shares. It was generally
believed that the Bank of England world on Mon-
day next reduce its rate of discount to 8 per cent.,
and it was still thought that the Bank of France
would afterwards fix Its rate uniformly at 6 per
cent. The Rente rose 20c. both for cash and ac-
count, closing at 66.50 and 66.70. Mobilier rose
7.50. The railways all rose from 2.60 to 5. Orleans
and Lyons were weaker than the other lines. There
was arepct which somewhat damped business
towards the close, that three considerable London
houses bad failed, but a telegraphic despatch, re-
ferring probably to the same news, speaks only of
some small failures.

K letter from Marseilles announces the stoppage
of the houses Constantine Rani and Upslyra. The
principal merchants had offered Ralli assutanoe to
the amount of one million, but that was insufficient.
The liabilities are said to amount to seven millions.

Queen Christina and the Duke of Rianzath left
Paris this morning for Marseilles, on their way to
Rome, where they intend to peas the winter.
M. Villemain has just published an article in the
Renee des Deur Monde*, entitled " Lee Dictatnres
Popnlaires," which is likely to create a great sen-
sation.

SOUTHAMPTON., SUNDAY Brume.

sular mails, nine passengers, 10,8001. in specie,
and a fall cargo. Her dates are—Gibraltar, Dee..Bth ;
Cadiz, 7th; Lisbon, 9th ; Oporto and Vigo, 10th.

instant the British brig Princess Royal wee towed
into Cadiz dismasted by the barque Star of the

and had to be beached; a great portion of the

the Dutch barque Stad Asen, with lost of foremast
and topmast. The Tagus also passed the Eaxine,
Indus, Alhambra, and Absona. The ships Ocean
and James Booth put into Gibraltar disabled.
At Lisbon the fever continues to abate. The at-
tention of the King has been drawn to the state of
the sewers, and they will be looked to in order to
prevent the return of the epidemic. The general
opinion is that they are the chief cause of the disease.
A decree has been Leaned prohibiting the sale of
Port wins from which the bad and left by the
sulphur need in treating the grapes has been dis-
pelled by a chemical process.
In Foreign exchange, the demand for short dated
paper conunues, but long dates were more easily
passed than for some time past. The quotations are
—at 90 days, 54E ; at 30 days, 53g.

tone, and some sales were effected at improved rates.
