PkRII3, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

There will be a meeting of the second plenipoten-
tiaries of the Congress of Paris at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs to-morrow, for the purpose of ex-
changing the ratifications of the convention relative
to the Beasarabian frontier. It is confirmed that
the question of the Principalities will not come
before the Congress till January. The middle of
that month is now mentioned as the probable time.

M. Dupin is to bo installed u Procurer-General
of the Court of Caseation on Saturday next. The
speech, which, according to usage, he will pronounce
on that occasion, will be looked forward to with
considerable interest.

M. Daubigny, the government candidate, has
been elected in the Sarthc by an enormous majority.
Be polled 18,000 votes against 4,000 given to M.
Jules Fay re, who did not, however, make any per-
sonal canvass. Tho despatch does not state the
number of votes given to M. Richer l'Evdque, the
candidate denounced by the Prefect's letter which
I sent the other day.
The journeymen printers of Paris,remembering that
Mayenee was the birth-place of Guttenberg, the
inventor of printing, have got up a subscription
among themselves for the sufferers by the late cata-
strophe. Subscriptions have also been opened at the
legation of Grand Ducal Hesse, 112, Rue de Grenelle
St. Germain; at the office of MM. Bischoffeim,
Goldsmidt, and Co., 26, Rue de la Chansake d'Antin,
and at the house of Dr. Levita, belonging to the Ans-
trian Legation, 66, Rue Neuve des Mathurius.
Mdlle. Rachel is very much better. The fever
and feeling of suffocatioa under which she was la-
bearing have gone off, her appetite is gradually re-
turning, and great hopes are entertained that her
life may be prolonged.
The Bourse has again improved. The market
wu very steady during the greater part of the day,
and although there was some uncertainty at the
close, the Rents maintained a rise of 20c. for cash
and 15e. for account, closing at 67fr. 13c. and
67fr. 15r. The quotations at one moment had been
67fr. 20e. and 67fr. 15c. Mobilier rose Sfr. 75c.
The railways improved from sfr. to 7fr. It was
announced that the Bank of France had reduced

----
the premium on gold from 14fr. to tifr. per millet
and that its bullion bad still further increased. It
was also reported that the rate of discount would be
reduced to-morrow by one per cent., that is to say,
that it would be made 7,8, and 9 per cent., ac-
cording to the time of bills to run.
The Moniteur Vinicole says :

The continuance of mild and damp weather postpones the
period for finally drawing off the new wines, until which
time there is no probability of any great amount of busineee
being done. It is not till then any complete estimate can be
made of the quality of the last vintage. The great question
whether winos are to rice or fall must, therefore, remain in
suspense for the present. Meanwhile prices remain nearly
stationary. The purchases mote are chiefly by consumes
and not deslets. We moat, however, except from this latter
statement the market el Bevy, where business is very active;
wines for Paris coesumption are bought up there as feet e
they arrive.
The Prefect of Police has addressed a circular to
the Commissaries of Police, giving them directions
relative to the authorisations to bo granted for
establiabing stalls on the Boulevards on the occasion
of the jour de Can. A particular recommendation
is given that this indulgence may be more especially
afforded to persons who *ell the produce of their
own labour, and to the poorer classes of dealers.

(From the Mencherter Geordie* of this day.)
ROCHDALE AND NEIGHBOVRIIOOO.—The follow-
lug is the result of inquiries Into the mate of trade and of the
working population within the district, extending in ODA
direction from Illuepits through Rochdale towards Bacup, •
length of seven macs ; and in the other (including Oldham
Road) to Littleborough—an area seven miles by 6111.
In that area there are 96 wills, u to which in-
formation hen been gained, and at which 19125 hands are
employed ordinarily. Of the 96, there are six, with 1
_427
hands, entirely stopped ; two of them being in Rochdale.
Running four days a week, and employing 6,379 hands.
there are 28 mills in Rochdale; two running four days and
a half, employing 320 hands; oven running three days,
employing 1,316 hands; and two running five days, employ-,
ing 920 hands. In Rochdale there are 7,835 persons work-
ing short time; and in the district, 7,215; giving a total of
15,050, exclusive of the 1,427 eltogethir unemployed. Them
is very little difference in the time worked by the cotton and
woollen mills ; but the general opinion of employers in the
cotton trade is that except a very great change takes place,
they will be compelled entirely to clove. The few who are
working full time are simply wuMng up cotton on hand, or
completing old orders. Several mills that, up to last Mon-
day, worked full time are beginning this weak to run four
days only. The machinists are suffering as much other
branches of trade ; for, in some cure, the hands have been
reduced nearly one half, and those tit work are so for an
average of 3; days only. Three of there firms had been
running over hours before the panic; and so pressing bad
been the demands upon them that they bad made accommo-
dation for 1,600 fresh bands. One firm states, "We cal-
mdMe that to keep our mill standing for one week is a dead
loss of £7O; and the universal feeling of the reillowners is,
to work as nearly the ordinary time aa Mat all possible. It
Is not necessary to add, that there is a good deal of dOtress
amongst the operatives; and that largely increased valid
lists are feared by the relieving odious.
SHORT True tv STOCKPORT.—The working of short
time at most of the factories in Stockport SA beginning to tail
rather heavily upon the shopkeepers, and also upon the
parochial funds. At the weekly meeting of they guardians,
the number of paupers in the workhouse was orted to be
larger than for some years past, there being 439 (193 melee
and 246 females), or an increase of seven over the previous
week, and of 64 over the corresponding week tut year.
STATE or TIIADZ AT OLDHAM.—The maturity of the
largest factories in the town, and the ironworks of Messrs.
Platt and As and Eli Lees still continue running, shed
time, in addition to which large numbers of hands in th•
latter establishments Lave been altogether suspended; go
that the working-chores are beginning to utter severely.
In Middleton and Tongs there is also a great deal of me-
tering amongst the operative slay es. particularly the silk
weavers, who constitute the bulk of the population of these
townships, in consequenee of the complete stagnation in the
silk theft.

A Pitorgn PUNISHMENT. Tuesday, Mr.
Richard Hodgson, an extensive wilier and shipowner, of
Blyth, near North Shields, and his brother, Edw. Hodgson,
• captain of a merchant ship just returned from South Ame-
rica, were brought before the county magistrates at Tyne-
mouth, charged with assaulting Elizabeth Dickenson, a
married woman, wife of • glaseman at Seaton Sluice, on
the Itth inst. Mrs. Dickenson, whohad been toNorth Shields
tame= some purchases, was proceeding along the coast to her
home about flee o'clock in the evening, when she was over-
taken by the defendants in a gig, who asked her to have a
seat. As she knew them she complied, as she was carrying
a large basket and bundle. Alter she got into the gicf;4ls
%hose only excuse was that they were
baalasackfer*her in a aha-aeful manner, and she had to leap
of the gig at the risk of her life to escape from them. The
bench, after hearing the CARP, retired, and on returning, the
chairman, Mr. Ripon, said that they had determined to
commit both the ddrndants to the Il ore of Correction for a
month. They seemed paralysed with the sentence.—lftwo
