PARIS, THWIEDAT EVINRIO.

The Pattie says that M. de Saint-Georges, about
whom there has been so much town talk of late,
has been appointed French consul in Australia, and
has already left Paris for his post.
The Bourse was almost entirely without busi-
ness. Rente for account rose 5c., closing a
67fr. 80c. Mobilier rose 2fr. 50c. Railways were
firm at yesterday's prices.
The sentence on Blanqui and his fellow-prisoners
has been confirmed by the Court of Appeal.
The bulepeedanee says that the Emperor thinks
of raising the pay of the senators from 30,000 fr. to
50,000 fr. I don't see why not. It has been sufli-
Meetly proved that the public in France will stand
anything.
The Duke of Rovigo has published a letter to K
Billault on his speech iu the Senate on the petition
of the redemptorist fathers of Lille. The object
of the son of Savary seems to be to show that be-
tween M. Billault and Cardinal Mathieu there was
no difference in principle, and that the " misunder-
standing" between church and state in France
might be easily made up on the basis of the repression
of both ultramontanism and Mazzinism. By way
of illustration of the accommodating spirit of the
church, he observes that it got on very well with
the monarchy, the consulate, the first empire, the
restoration, the second republic (whose trees of
liberty it blessed) ; and that it hailed with trans-
port the prince " whose arms rescued Rome from
barbarians, and restored the Holy Father to the
Vatican." The treaty of Villafranca left intact
" this happy state of things," but, unfortunately,
Italy, to whom France " owes nothing," spoilt all.
It seems to the Duke of Rovigo the easiest thing in
the world for France to set the Papal question at rest,
by making " a categorical declaration which should
deprive Mazzinism of all hope, and ultramontatiism
of any pretext ; which should proclaim aloud that
Rome does not belong to this or that faction, king-
let or adventurer, but to the Pope and the catholic
world—then General de Goyon would have no need
of an army to protect the eternal city ; a corporal's
guard would Guam" The best thing in the
pamphlet is the following passage, which betrays
the misgivings of a champion of the church as to
the sincerity of the allegiance of its eldest son :
" Perhaps it will be said that the state has pro-
nouneed with sufficient plainness in favour of the
Holy See, and that people affect not to understand
lite declarations ; but what interest can the dumb

have'not to understand re-assuring language 1 The
state should pay attention to its composition.
(C'ut d Mat d aosgner as radaction.)"
The Empress, immediately on being informed of
the death of Prince Czartoryaki, sent a telegraphic
message to Prince Ladislaus Czartoryski, testify.
lug her regret at the misfortune which had fallen
on him and his family, and begging him to offer
her condolences to his mother the Princess
Czartoryaka.
The body of Prince Czartoryski was brought
from the Chateau de Montfermeil to Paris to-day,
and will lie in state at the Hotel Lambert, the
palatial residence of the deceased in the Isle St.
Louis. On Monday the remains will be sent to
Austria for interment in a burying ground of the
Czartoryaki family in Gallicia.

A motion was yesterday made in this matter, having for
its object to wind up the affairs of the above-mentioned
company in the Birmingham District Bankruptcy Court,
in place of the Court of Chancery, and this morning his
honour gave judgment upon it. He said he had
perused the affidavits, but found in them nothing
which showed ironed for transferring the matter to
the Bankruptcy.Cout.
If all the

persons interested in the

would be in

the parties resided in different part of the country and ware
nearly equally divided in opinion u to the most expedient

done as well Lad expeditiously here as at Birmingham,
he declined to make the transfer.

that he was of opinion that the suit being at an end by the

John Smith wasilaCerittalThri,;l;;;ged with stealing
a letter entrusted him to deliver at Peckham.

From the evidence Mr. J. Gardner and Mr. Clare,
officers of the Post•ofbco, it appeared that the prisoner was
a letter carrier in the S.E. district, and in consequence of
the frequent loss of letters complained of .by the inha-
bitants, • letter was prepared containing two marked
half-sovereigns, and addressed to " Mts. Smitb,Grove Villas,
Peckham." The destiny of the letter was watched from
the time it was posted, and it was eventually appropriated
by the prisoner during the sorting of the letters, although
it did not belong to his district. On leaving the °Mice to
deliver his letters he was stopped and asked if be had a
letter addressed as above. He looked into his pouch and
took it oat, stating that he did not know it was time. He
was asked, "Do you not look at the letters to arrange them
for delivery 1" He replied, " Yes, but this one got in by
mistake."

Henry Brigham, Postoffice constable, stated that he took
two keys from the pocket. of the pritcner, whom he then
aosompanied to the lodgings of the latter at 1, John-
street, Commercial-road. The mieoner having pointed
to a box, which be stated was his
witness opened the box with one of the -keys,
and found inside a remarkably pretty gold locket,
a containing 14 sovereigns, and a cheque on the City
Bank 31. :is. Witness asked him three times how he
obtained the cheque, but he did not give any satisfactory
answer. The other things and money, he said, were his
private property.
The prisoner was remanded for further examination.
THE BARON DE MICE CAII6.

The further examination of the Baron is fixed far
3 o'clock, and already the people are beginning to crowd
about the approaches to the court. The Baron arrived
in the prison van at 10 o'clock, but he takes care on 411
occasions that no one shall see his face.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE' THROUGH JILALOURT.
Greenwood,Slira aged 18, who described herself as an
ironer, residing at 9, North•place, Cromeretreet, St.
Pancras, but who is well known as a notorious prostitute,
was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with
attempting to commit suicide by taking a large quantity of
laudanum.

Pollee-constable Lett*, 144 E, said this morning (Friday),
between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock, from infoimation he
received, he went to No. 9, North-place, St. ?anent', a
ple, full of low prostitutes and thieves, and in a back room
he found the prisoner lying on the bed in a very
bed state, apparently dying. Having ascertained that the
prireer had taken poison he had her dressed, and, with
assistance, conveyed her to the Royal Free Hospital,
Onty's-mn-read. She was there at once attended to by the
home-surgeon, who used the stomach-pump, and took from
' her • large quantity of laudanum. From what be bad as-
Pertained it appeared that the prieoucr bad had a quarrel
' with another prostitute about a young man who had been
cohabiting with her, and who has since gone to live with
the other woman. _ _ _ _ _

The prisoner said she was very sorry for what she had
done, and would nut again attempt to take her life. She
had done it when excited through jealousy, and was an-
noyed because she had been taunted and jeered by her
companions.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said he could not think of disebarging
her at present, and remanded her to the House of Orton-
tloa for a week.

take plass, in all probability, to-morrow. Major Murray is
progressing very favourably. Re still persists in the state-
ment be node to the magislanks, Mr. Carrie, that be never
saw Mr. Roberta before ; that on being invited by Roberts
into his chambers, he (Mr. Roberta) must have slipped the
bolt attnehed to the door, and so fastened him in the room,
and that his life would have been merlaced had it not been
fat the empty bottles.
Mater Manny, as we are informed, served in the late
Crimean war ia the 10th Homan, and afterwards in the
12th lancers.

Another calamity is likely to arise. It seems that when
Major Murray made his escape at the back part of the
house, No. 16, Northumberland4treet, ha dropped into
the yard, kept by an elderly lady named Lyon',
who, on seeing the major covered with blood,
Sowing from the pistol-wounds, received such a sudden
fright that she lass been confined to her bed ever sines,
and doubts are entertained of her recovery. Ilse.
