EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(TROY OVA OWN CORIZSPONDENT.)

PARIS, TIMIDATZIIINIKO.

The Bourse opened rather heavily and got worse
towards the close. Although the quantity of Three
per Cents. delivered for the settlement turns out to
have been ler than was expected, the market
was depressed by an apprehension of a further rise
of the rate of discount to 9 per cent. by the Bank of
England. The fall of 1 per cent. in Consols of
course discouraged the speculators for the rise.
The Bente opened for account at 67fr., 30c. rose to
Mr. 33c., fell to b7fr. 13c., and closed at 67fr. 20c.,
with a fall of 20c. For cash there was no alternate
change. Mobilier fell 7fr. 60c. The railway
account went off easily, and the ruffs of carrying
over were moderate, but all the lines left off lower,
and some of them considerably ; Southern fell
16tr. 3c.; Lyons, 12fr. 30c. ; Western, 10fr. ;
Eastern, Bfr. 73c. ; Orleans, 7fr. 60c., and
Northern, 6fr.

Letters from Vienna of Nov. 1 state that the
Ports has approved, subject to some modifications in
matters of detail, the treaty prepared by the
European commission for the navigation of the
Danube. The report, which was accredited some
time ago, that Austria sought to put the absurd con-
struction upon the expression "liberty of the
Danube" in the treaty of Paris, that it meant only
the mouths of the ricer, appears to have arisen frem
a mistake. The French government journals are
sow instructed to say that Austria does not seek in
any way to hamper the commission.
The Pays' letters from Rio Janeiro, of Oct. 2,
say that the Brazilian government, by way of a last
effort to prevent war with Paraguay, had sent M.
Paranhos to the Assumption, bat the general opi-
nion at Rio was that his mission would fail, and in
support of this conjecture it is remarked that a corps
of observation has recently been sent to the frontier
under the command of the Brazilian General, San
Felice.

The Patric mays it learns from a certain source
that the new hackney carriage tariff will be abo-
lished at the end of this week, and the old system of
the course and the hour, together with the old farm,
will be revived. The coachman is to be allowed
to charge for luggage, so that the only result of the
attempt to reform the fares will be an extra charge
upon the public.

The posthumous volume of Beringer's songs is out
to-day, according to the previous announcement.
The price is 6fr. The doors of M. Perrotin, the pub-
lisher, aro besieged with purchasers. You may per-
haps find room for the following exquisite verses ea a
specimen with which tho collection opens. The
poet compares himself to a fruit-tree at the close of
autumn, in which the villagers hunt for a remnant
of fruit, which may perchance have escaped the
vigilance of the gatherers. His readers will be
inclined to go on with the comparison, remembering
that such late fruit is often the sweetest.
