We arc informed that on Tuesday six persons

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(TROY 001 OWN
PARIS, Tot 11.11 w EVENING.
The official proclamation of MM. Cavaignac,
()Dicier, and Darimon, as members for Paris, was
made to-day at the Hotel de 'Ville. The number of
the votes does not differ materially from the figures
already published. Not more than 400 or 500 per-
sons were assembled in front of the Hotel de Ville
to witness the ceremony, and of these I am told no
less than 300 were police agents in plain clothes,
who were posted there by way of precaution, the
authorities fancying there was sonic reason to ap-
prehend a demonstration.
According to the rnion, M. lfalligon, the suc-
cessful opposition candidate in the. 'Mayenne,
Los
been elected by a large majority, the votes be,ig ap-
proximatively 11,33fi against 7,988.
MM. Sevcrin, Abbattucci, and Mariani, the go-
cennuent candidates in Corsica, have been elected
almost unanimously.
'rite Empress left Paris at eight o'clock this morn-
ing, to join the Emperor at Plombiires. Her Majesty
was received at the Strasburg railway station by
MM. Fould, Billault, Wulcwski, and the railway
directors.
Tho Ilourse has had a relapse. There was an in-
disposition to do business, and a thin attendance.
The Itente slowly declined to liTre. 10e. both for
cash and account, closing with a full of 20c. and
25c. Mobilier fell 27fr. 50e., closing at 920 fr. The
railway market was very inactive. The new shares
of the principal lines were better supported than the
old. Some purchases were made in railway obliga-
tions. It is understood that the bullion in the
bank has diminished by about twenty millions, but
the reason given is that the hank has bought very
little gold of late, and has discounted a very
large quantity of commercial paper since the latter
end of June. Notwithstanding the new facilities
granted for advances upon deposits, this chapter
has only augmented, if report be correct, by about
four or five millions. The situation of the bank is
regarded as tolerably satisfactory, but still not such
as to allow the directors to reduce their discount to

L per cent. at present.
M. de Vougy, the director general of telegraphs,
whose office was abolished at the same time as that
of M. Collet Nleygret, has received by wuy of
compensation the Receiver-Generalship of the de-
partment of the Loir et Cher.
The following bulletin of M. IPranger's health
has been published to-day:

THUS/It,%V MORN I NO.
M. Wronger has again been much agitated during the
night. This mot 'ling he is very calm.
The answer to inquiries made at two o'clock this
afternoon was that the illustrious patient was about
the same ; the calm continued.
At the Morgue yesterday the body of a gentle-
man who had committed suicide in the Champs
Elyskes by blowing his brains out, was identified as
that of the brother in-law of an muMent financier.
As in the case of the baron who lately threw himself
from Notre Dame, the suicide was occasioned by
heavy losses at the Bourse.
