PARIS, tiarnanar Femme.
Preparations are already making for the pro-
ductic n in Paris of a melodrama of " thrilling
interest," of which Theodorna will be the hero.
Mies Menken is engaged in the part of an Amazon.
The sale of M. Cleeinger's statues and models
yesterday, comprising in all forty-one works of
art, produced 111.815 franc. The prieee were by
no means high. The "Triumph of Ariadne" was
knocked down for 21.300 francs. The Death of
Lucretia brought but 1.5,600. A Roman bull was
purchased for 6,000. Ledru linllin was sold for
62.5, and Prince Napoleon for only 220. The com-
parative value in public estimation is hard upon
the secret ambassador now on his way to Con-
stantinople.
A horrible scene occurred on June 1 at the
As, ize Court of &bates, in the Charente Inferieure.
A M. Degras. a person of respectable family, who
for several years had been a receiver of taxes,
with a salary of 7,000 fr. a year, was put upon his
trial on a charge of forgery and embezzlement.
After a long investigation the presiding judge
props aided no less than 103 questions to the jury.
Upon the first 92 of these the jury returned suc-
cessive verdicts of " not guilty ;" but when the
Clerk of Arraigns put the 93rd question the
answer was guilty. Thereupon the prisoner drew
forth a razor, which he had oonoealed in one of
his boots, and cut his throat with it so badly that
he fell senseless and covered with blood into
the arms of his two counsel. A cry of
horror rose from the audience. The prisoner
was removed to • hospital, and in his absence a
verdict of guilty was delivered upon the remaining
ten counts of the indictment. The court passed a
smarm* of five years' imprisonment, and sent an
officer to read the sentence to the prisoner in the
hospital. The unhappy man is in a desperate
state, but the carotid artery is not divided, and the
surgeons yet hope to do him the bad service of
saving his life, and enabling him to undergo his
sentence.

At the Bourse to-day the Rents atta'ned a
higher quotation than has boen seen sin:* the
upward movement sot in. At one moment 71 was

four candidates in the field, all liberals, but holding dif-
ferent views on eedegastical questions. Mr. Butler,
M.P., and Mr. Charles Reed are the resident candidates;
Mr. Homer, of Woodford. and Mr. Wilma of Kensington,

at this early period, offer themselves for re.ellaioA.
PTtEFTON.—Lord Edward Howard, who will lose
his seat at Arundel through the disfranchisement of that
borough, is mentioned u a candidate for Preston, where
the catholic interest is very strong. Captain the Hon. F.
A. Stanley
.and Si, Thomas Heaketh, both couaervatives,
are the sitting members.
Lm.---The liberals of this town have formed
an aseendion for the maintenance and dissemination of
liberal opinions in the borough. Sir T. F. Burton, the
pre seat littered sitting member, will stand again. The
rej remota tion is at present divided between Lord Stanley
and Sir T. F. Burton, but the conservatives threaten a
emend candidate in the person of the Hon. R. Rourke.
GULLIIIOItD.—It is believed that Mr. G. Onalow,
the present liberal member, will not offer himself for re-
election. In anticipation of this event, the names of Mr.
Fredeick Peel, the /lon. Anberou Herbert, and Mr.
Evelyn, who formerly represented the county, are spoken
of as gentlemen from whom a candidate will be selected
by the liberal party. Mr. Garth will again offer himself
in the interests of the conservatives. and as parties in the
borough an. very evenly balanced, thin will be a severe
fight for the seat.

report which we quoted on Satwday frost the North
British Pally Nail, to the effect that Mr. Andrew Halli-
day DWI would offer himself for the representation of
tilasgow and Aberdeen Universitiee, is correct. Mr. Duffs
Foams or support are of an encouraging character.
EAST WORCESTERSHIRE. —Since the defeat of
Mr. Leiden, his agents have been canvassing in Dudley
the doubtful liberal, and conservatives, and those electors
who remained neutral durum the recent contest. It would
'pp( ar from this that Mr. Lastett really intends to come

feat.
