PARIS, TVIIIDAT EVENING.
This morning M.M. Cusin Legendre, Ducbtne de
Vere, Orsi (formerly private secretary to Louis
Napoleon), and Arthur Berryer, appeared before the
Sixth Chamber of the Tribunal of Correctional
Police, to answer a charge of malvenation connected
with the Napoleon Docks. The three first arc
accused of swindling and abuse of confidence, and
the two latter are implicated as accomplicti. On
the application of the counsel for the defendants the
hearing of the case was postponed for a fortnight.
The counsel engaged for the defence are MM. Ni.
belle, Dufaure, Noyent St. Laureas, Gerry, and
Marie.
The Bonne has been dull to-day. The Rate
rose sc. for cash, but fell 15c. for emast, sir
ing at ear. 15c. and 685. 35c. Mobilisr hit
15fr. Railways lost all the ground they gained
yesterday. The market was a little firmer within
the last quarter of an hour.
Baron Wendland, the Bavarian Minister in Paris,
has received orders to accompany his sovereign in a
tour in Italy, and has accordingly left kr Item to
meet the King.
I understand that the republican party intend to
put forward the following candidates for l'aris at
the forthcoming general election :—MM.
chaux, Carrot, Cavaignac, Rubes, and Jules Favre.l
The Coastitationtiel returns to the subject of the
Principalities, which has long since been exhausted
by the European press, and recapitulates the various
arguments advanced at different periods in favour ad
the union of the two provinces. The only passage to
the article of any novelty is the following :
We must correct an error committed by several !Loudon
and Vltava journals. If wo ware to believe the latter, who
are ill-Inflamed on the subject, France would alone favour
the Idea of the union of the Pimdpilities. Nothing can be
more incorrect. lituesio,_Prunia, and Sardinia are inspired
with the same ideas as France. England sad Austria, it is
tree, manifest cannery views. But that only represents two
against four. Up to this moment the majority of the Powers
reproeented in the Congrere of Paris is on the aide of the
union, and the meow of that project, if put to the lute,
would not he doubtful.
The Monileur publishes the official return of the
gross receipts of the French railways for 1856,
which amounted to 281,150,2631 r., being an increase
of 22,152,934 fr. on those of 1855.
Count de Montalcmbert arrived at Brussels on
Saturday in time to be present at the lest moments

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 2nd in Le Nord
lays The English merchants at St. Petenbarg having
expensed the wish to pay their respects to the Emperor, a
deputation composed of twelve persona, chosen from the most
influential in the espital, were this day received bylide Majesty.
' 11. Eastland de Michele, British Consul at St. Petersburg,
joined the deputation as the direct representative of the com-
mercial interests of England in Russia. His Msjesty
received the deputation most graciously. He told
them that he received them with pleasure ; end
reminded them that throughout the war the English
merchants enjoyed in peace the protection promised them by
the lets Emperor Nicholas at the commencement of hos-
tilities. The Emperor concluded with cspensing the hope
that the commercial rektions between Russia and England
would Demme more and more developed, to the great advan-
tage of both nations. The deputation Mind charmed with
the kindly rondos maxim' them."

ARRIVAL OF OF THE AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, WED-NEM:4.T.,

This day, at noon, the Hays.' Mail steam-ship
America, Captain Small, arrived in the Mersey,
with 50 passengers, but no specie. She had to be
cut out of the ice at Boston for eight miles, delaying
hor departure till the morning of the 29th ; and the
31st from Halifax. She passed the Arabia, from
hence. on the 30th.

The Tariff Bill, it is reported in the Senate, em-
braces the following features :—Sugar, molasses,
salt, lead, wool, and, hemp at 10 per cent. Spice
free. Spirits reduced one-half. Iron, cotton, and
woollen manufactures unchanged.
Mr. Buchanan had arrived at Washington. No
public reception.
The lion. P. S.:Brooks, the caner of Mr. Sumner
died at Washington on the 27th.
The Atlantic arrived on the 23rd, leaky in the
fore-compartment, considerably damaging the cargo ;
supposed to have been in contact with ice.
New YORK.—Money in fair supply, and in good
demand, at 7 per cent. on call. Stock dull and
lower. _ .

•
Exchange dull. London, 104 to t; Paris, 8.211
to 221.
Cotton quiet. Fine ashes steady.
Breadstuffs :—Flour lower; wheat firm ; Indian
oorn dull and lower.
Freights firm.

The steam-ship Constitution arrived yesterday at
Cowes, on her way to Antwerp, with the mail from
the United States.
She brings advice. from New York to the 25th
alt., being one day later than those by the Emu.
The news by the Persia, from Liverpool, received
on the 24th, checked sales in cotton, which on that
day were confined to a few hundred bales, the market
closing quiet sad rather unsettled. Flour was in-
active, and with moderate sales, closing at easier
rates for common State and Western brands. There
were no transactions of sufficient magnitude after the
receipt of the Persia's news to show its effect upon
the market for breadstuff'. Wheat was firm before
the news, with sales of common Southern white afloat
at 1 dol. 88e. to 1 dol. 70c., andehoice ditto, with Mis-
souri, at 1 dol. 82c. Corn was unchanged, while sales
of Western mixed were made at 72c. in store at the
Atlantic Docks, and 75e. from store in the city.
Pork was firm, with sales of new me as at 21 dole.,
and old at 19 dole 871 to 20 doll., closing at the lat-
ter figure. Sugars were firm, with moderate sales
of hogshead at full prices. Coffee was steady, with
limited sales of Rio, as dealers were disposed to
await the advent of the auction sale advertised for
the 27th inst. Freights were unchanged, while
engagements were to • moderate extent. Cotton
was engaged for Liverpool at td., and some lots for
a steamer at 7-18 d. Flour was unchanged, and
grain nominal at 7d. to 71d.
The severity of the frost had not only continued,
but increased throughout the States. All efforts to
keep open Boston Channel had proved unsuccessful,
and on the 25th the harbour was completely frozen
over. The ice had accumulated for a considerable
distance down the bay, closing up the narrows and
lighthouse channel. At Washington, on the 24th,
the thermometer ranged between six and eight
degrees below zero at 7 o'clock, a.m. This was the
lowest recorded temperature of the season in that
latitude. The interference from ice prevented the
delivery of grain on shipboard, and the question was
mooted on 'Change how far the Atlantic Dock Com-
pany were liable to starers of grain, provided a want
of duo diligence in keeping open the communication
on their part could be shown.
Captain Thos. H. Gifford, of the ship Patrick
Henry, arrived at New York from London, England,
reports that he fell in with the English brig Princess
Louie, in lat. 39, lon. 72.30. She was short of both
water and provisions, with which Captain Gifford
supplied her. She had experienced very heavy
weather ; bad been on the coast close to the high-
lands of Nevilink five times, but was obliged to put
to sea again in consequence of not being able to find
a plot. During the gale of Sunday, the 18th inst.,
she lost fore and main yard, and bad her sails all
torn to shred'. Eight of her crew were frostbitten,
and had been greatly reduced from want of provi-
sions, water, and fuel. Of her whole number of
men not more than three or four were fit for
duty, and there were not sufficient to bend
sail on the vessel. The captain of the Princess
Louisa said they had been out of water thirty-
seven days, and were obliged to subsist on flour
blended with salt water. He had been 107 days out
at the time Captain Gifford met him, and had left
Cadiz for New York with a cargo of salt and wine.
It appears, however, that their wine was used after
the supply of water failed, and that there was but •
very small quantity of it on board. The hull of the
Princess Louisa was in good condition, and although
subject to rough weather, had not leaked any during
the passage. He desired Captain Gifford, on his
arrival in port, to report his condition and procure
assistance, as it would be impossible without it to
reach port. If something was not done soon, it
would be impossible for him and his men to exist
ore than a week in their destitute state.

all this tads more ad more to prove that there was no
insanity, and if in deilseireg the crime we have to lament
that it was inspired by the most furious and satanic errors,
