The Bank returns, which were looked for with
unusual interest, are considered to be even more
favourable than was expected. The two symptoms
which generally announce the termination of a
crisis are observed in them—the augmentation of
the metallic reserve and the diminution of discount

accommodation. The metallic reserve, which lost
month had fallen off thirty-six millions, has now
honeyed by forty-nine ; it has not only recovered
itself, but ie higher than it was in October, and
within ten millions as much as in November. Ths
discount accommodation, on the other hand, which

horn 609 millions in October fell last month to 588,
is now only 311, that is to say about; the same a/ in
March and April hut. The metallic reserve of the
Bank now exceeds by more than sixty millions the
amount of one-third of the notes in circulation.
The Bank, however, has still been obliged to make
great sacrifices to purchase bullion, the premiums
under this head being even larger than they were in
the preceding month, namely, 1,576,029 fr. in plus
of 1,227,443 fr. The directors feel that great nits
crunspection is still neosenary ; but it is, neverthe
less, confidently expected that the iliscount will he
put at 8 per cent. next week, without reference to
the time of bills to run.

A committee of the Bank was appointed yester
day, to report upon the treaty with the railway coo.
parries, which will not be signed till to-morrow.
The Bourse opened very firm, bat afterwards be.
came heavy, in consequence of an incorrect telegram
from London, which represented that Consols had
fallen This was corrected towards three o'clock,
when it became known that they had in fact risen I.
The Bente sprung up at once, and from 66fr. 30c , to
which it had fallen, cloned at 661 r. 60e. (for aczonnt),
with a rine of 33c. For cash the last price vu

The

the other day, said, in re.
ference to the Courrier do' Paris, "We deny the
right of any one to profess to be more liberal then
ourselves, in the sound acceptation of the term;
thus reminding one of the old ironical saying, typial
of the wantonness of despotism, " personae n'aurs di
l'esprit qne nous et nos amis." The Courrier noit
replies very well to the Constifidionsel, and proem
by its antecedents since 1848, that it is less libetsl
than the Emperor, as shown by apt quotations Las
his speeches, and than the constitution of 1832, is
shown by extracts from it. The Courtier continuo:

Would not the liberty of the prase, by the @slaty
tenor with which it would strike MI perpetrator& of Ames
be more profitable thou hurtful to the =pin"? 11
it posaible for the Emperor to me everything with his on
eyes, and hear everything with his own ears t Are then
lot daily committed, without his knowledge, we nn a
power, the responsibility of which is attributed to tis
mown? • • • If the cause of government' could it
separated from that of peoples, we would maintain the
liberty is still mere neeful to gonnunents then to peoples; k
what is liberty, in reality, but the transformation of tin
police ? By liberty the work of the secret spy become
honourable, for it is done openly, and attache not persom

Mr. Acting-Consul Barber visited the Englirh
engineers again yesterday, and found thera.toleralii
cheerful. They still complained of the freshest
which they had received, and begged, so it is .0,
Mr. Barber to visit the room in which they war
Brat visited. It is a portion of the prison, Ise
wretched room, with scarcely space enough for tam
to walk up and down at the bottom of their beds
The room had no door—nothing but a curtail,
through which the wind rushed from a long corrike
A room close by it was occupied by the guard, ci#
were singing and shouting and smoking all night,
utterly destroying all sleep. There certainly wr
no comfort in such a room.
