PARIS, Tmvasokv

Verger's trial will, after all, take place on Satur-
day, although the contrary is stated in the morning
papers. The Court of Caseation, presided by M.
Lassiagne Barris, this morning injected his dilatory
appeal against the form of his committal.

This afternoon, at about one o'clock, a rung man
in a blouse threw himself off the column in the Phum
Vendome, and wu killed on the spot. He fell on
his head inside the railings, and almost close to the
foot of the column on the north side facing the Roe
de la Paix. His brains were scattered about the
pavement. Water and mops were speedily procured
to cleanse the place, and groups of people were
standing about all the afternoon looking at the scene
of the catastrophe, which was identified by the wet
on the pavement. It is stated that two suicides •
year on an average are committed at this column.

Ali l'acha, the brother of the Viceroy of Egypt,
who has been paring some time in France, left Mar-
seilles on Monday for Alexandria.
The Bourse has been tolerably steady, but the
opening quotations were not quite maintained, and
no great amount of business was done. The Ernie
elated at 67fr. 75e., yesterday's price for cult, and
67fr. 95c., with a rise of fr. for account. Mobilier
rose sfr. fur account. Grand Central was very much
offered, and fell 7fr. 50e. The other lines were tole-
rably firm, and most of them closed two or three
francs higher.

" • Nothing has been beard bees to the present time, (18th,

went up on Sunday, to take the Barrier Forts. It is said
the delay was ceased by one of them taking the pound

remise them then wee expected. It IN reported by
Cldnsee, that the beta re.oompied are now 6r

" The river is liffich iniMed with pirates now, and about

email pilot boats, and boats similar to such as used to run m
Munow's post-boatv, with whltc rails; and the mew some-
times disguise themselves by wearing European hats or other
clothing. The Chinese inhabitants say (apparently with
truth), that they are all fitted out from Hong Kong.

Blenheim Rawl on timidity evening, at about 8 o'clock, wee

One shell went right through the roof of Dr. Hobson's
