PARIS, THURSDAY ETLNING.

The Court of Assize has this day condemned (par
euntumare) Ledru Hain, Mazzini, Maesarenti, and
Campanella to deportation. As you are aware, when
a judgment par mammies is pronounced, the inter-
vention of a jury is not required, and it is customary
to condemn the absent to the highest punishment
which has been inflicted on the accused who were
present. As, therefore, Tibaldi was condemned to
deportation, Laden Rollin, Mazzini, Massarcnti, and
Campanella have had the same sentence pronounced
upon them. The proceedings occupied but a short
time. There was no address from the public prose-
cuter, aid no defence. The act of accusation was
merely read, and, after a few observations from the
president, judgment was pronounced.
The principal event of the day, however, is the
great fall in Credit Mobilicr shares, caused by the
resignation of several of the directors of the yodel',
The Thurneyssen affair has brought about this I
event. Four directors have been named as
baring resigned, namely, M. Ernest Andre, Charles
Mallet, banker in I'aris, I'icsta, director of the dis-
count office, and Aquirrowengos, a Spanish banker
of Bordeaux, but at present the resignation of M.
Andre is the only one that is official. He sent in
his resignation by a huissier, and affirms that the
three others also retire with him. It is sup-
posed that others will follow the example of M.
Andre and his three colleagues. In these circum-
stances it will not be easy to find financial men of im-
portance and consideration enough to com-
pose a new council of administration. At
all events the confidence of the public in
the society must be greatly diminished.

The Frankfort Journal stated that the annulling of
the elections in Moldavia took place only on one
condition, namely, that France was to abandon the
project of the union of the provinces. The Patric
denies this, and says that while the inhabitants of
the Principalities arc at perfect liberty to express
their wishes, each of the powers has the right to
hold its own opinion on the subject.
The city of Chalons has invited the Emperor to a
night Alte and ball, which it proposes to give in the
salons of the Hotel de Ville on the arrival of the
Empress. The city of Metz has given a similar in-
vitation, bat whether these invitations have been
accepted is not yet known. The Empress is ex-
pected at Chalons about the 15th of September.
The health of M. de Rayneval, who has been
named ambassador at the court of St. Petersburg,
gives rise to considerable apprehension. In Austria
the appointment of M. de Gnuntnont as his successor
at Rome, is regarded as indicating a change of
policy on the part of France towards the Papal
court.

Some arrests were made at Turin on the night of
the 31st of August, but nearly all the refugees
arrested in Genoa have been set at liberty.
The fall in Credit Mobilier shares had a depressing
influence on other securities, as will be seen from
the following quotations:-The Threes have been
done from 88fr. 83c. to 68fr. 90c. ; Mobilier receded
from 903 k. to 882 k. 50e. ; Austrian, 640 fr. to 637 k.
50e.; Orleans, 1,435 fr. to 1,430 fr.; Southern, 635 fr.
to 632 k. 50c. ; Lyons, 880 fr. to 877 k. 50c. ; new
shares, 870 fr.; Northern, 870 fr.; Eastern old shares,'
873 k; and new ditto, WOG. The market recovered
some little buoyancy towards the close, when the
following were the last quotations :-Four-and-a-
Half per Cents, 93k. 23c.; ditto end of month, 03k.
35e. ; Three per Cents., 66fr. 80e. ; ditto end of
month, 67k.; Bank Shares, 2,7751 r.; Credit Mo-
bilier, 887 fr. 50e.; ditto account, 590 fr.; Credit
Fancier, 535 k. ; Piedmontese Five per Cents., 89fr.
