restricted rights of the Corps Legislatif should be
extended. .

The Prefect of the Nord has thought proper to
ism a special dewier against the candidature of
General Cavaignee et Douai.
The Prefect of the Pas de Calais, M. Sender, is so

enraged with the exposure of the conduct of one of
his agents at Mootdidier, that he has ordered a pro-
secution for false news, not only againalithe Amiens

The Bonnie has been very heavy to-day, notwith-
standing large purchases by one broker, who has
been buying for some days. The fall of 3in
Consols had naturally a depressing influence, and
tba unexpected excitement about the elections now
bugina to tell a little. The Rentz fell 36e. for
ansount, closing at 681 r. 80c. Whitler fell 40fr.

all the lines, and that notwithstanding that the
rates of carrying over were so low as to offer Co
temptation to capitalists to fittest their money in
these operations. This symptom was remarked at
the last two settlements, and unites a change should
take place it is expected that the people who have
hitherto looked for large interest from these trans-
actions will buy shares. To-day, however, Orleans
fell 15fr. ; Northern, 2fr. 50c.; Eastern, 10fr.;
Lyons, 10fr. ; Mediterranean, 22fr. 60c.; Southern,
10fr.; Western, 2fr. 60e.; and Grand Central,

line, notwithstanding the concession of the Saws=
branch, announced in the Nonitear.

said to have originated with them was one to tue
effect that Paris and Lyons have been plowed in a
state of siege.
The French capital (says the Courthr de Path)
will soon possess anew monument, namely, &column
in masonry m honour of Napoleon 111. on the highest

height, being 80 more than the column in the Place
Vendome. It is said that the estimates made by M.
, "Wien, the architect who has produced the plans
for the improvement of the Bois de Boulogne,
; amount to the sum of 18 millions.
