Foau FRENCH NOTER.—Considerable excitement has
been e;eated at Lyons, by the discovery of an extensive
manufactory sf forged bank notes. The attention of tho
police had been for some time past directed to the fact
that a quantity of spurious notes of 500 f. were in circule-
Orin, but no trace could be obtained of the guilty parties.
The principal delinquent has at length been discovered
and captured. He is named Dupont, is sixty-three years
of age, and had retired some years ago from the grocery
trade wile a small fortune. which he heel increased by in-
veetzents in house property. At the time of his arrest he
we, aleo driving a roaring trade as a wholesale wine
merchant. Above 500,000 francs worth of forged bank
notes were found on his premises, and he has confessed
hie gisilt. his wife, likewise an agelperson, has also been
arrested. A workman, who had assisted him in engraving
the pates, died seine time ago, in a hospital, at Lyons.
FATAL GUNPOWDER FXPL,)SioN.—A. dreadful explosion
took place a few days ago, at the East Cornwall gunpowder
mils, at Herodsfoet, by which four men, namol Edge-
combe, Whiting, Rogers, and Pett ware killed. The
shook was felt at Liskarl ; buildings adjoining the mills
were unroofed, and considerable damage was done. With
the death of the men the cruse of the explosion is involved
in mystery. Rogers Las left a wife and ten children, and
Whiting was only lately married. An inquest has been
held on the only body found, the other three poor fellows
having been blown to atoms. A verdict of " Aceilental
death" was returned, and the jury recommended that a
smaller quantity of gunpowder should be kept on the
premises. It appears that a similar accident occurred on
the seine premises three months ago. Au explosion of
eenpeader took place on the same day, at Wheal Lovel
Mine, CAtnwall, by which two men, named Wearn and
Dinnis were dreadfully injured. The former is likely to
rec wter' bet Dinnis dial the same night.
Tea LATE ST talus IN SOUTIIERI ITALY.—The Official
Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the 23rd ult., eontinees to
give ace ,unts of the damage done by the violeet rains
which occurred lately in various provinces of the kingdom,
especially in Terra di Levoro, and in the neighbourhood
of Istelise and Bari. A bridge, of boats over the river
Voltaire° was washed away; the commueication bAween
Casino aed Cerreto was interrupte.l, and a young woman
of the latter ]:lies was carried away by the current and
drowned. Ties communes of Casalduni, Pontelaedolfo,
Foieno, and Compolettare suffered immense losses in cattle
and fanning stores; but, happily, no lives were lost. At
C'mnoea, in the province of Bari, a hailstorm devastated the
district ; the hails:ones were of the size of a walnut. At
San Marc) di Cavo:i, in the province of Principate U.-
teriore, the Tammerecehie overflowed its banks, committing
great reveges ; a woman in a state of pregnancy and her
four children were drowaA, and the bridge of Pecciariello
was carved away.
THE NEW ATTaACTI)Na OF VIM PARIS Bouasn.—lt was
lately reported that the charge for admisstoe to the Bourse,
which, when fist imp ,sed, c .used so much grumbling and
atforOed a famous theme for the Chiravari, was to be
abolished, bur the pipers new say that no such idea his
been for a inomeut entertained. They give et the sam
time some p wielders, of additions that are to be made to
the Brurse, in the shape of four guardhouses, one at each
corner of the editi33, and which are to be occupied re-
spectively by tiremee, garb de Paris, sergens de vine, sod
g tardians of the building. Moreover it is said that the
iron railings on either side of the Byirsa are to be throqn
back 8) as to enclose the two open specs upon
rah people can no,/ meet and. walk without
pay.nsnt, and that these plots of ground will
be planted and laid out as gardens, iu which
speeelators can 'agreeably saunter while discussing the rise
and fall. This uai in of floriculture and steel-jobbing is a
nevrlty worthy of originating in the tasteful capital of
France, where ease and luxury ate carried to their utmost
limit. It will be delightful for the weary agent de change
to escape from the din ae:cl steam of the parquet to toe
tranquility of shrubberies fragrant with roses, and for the
cozeissier, unprospereus in his venture', to seek relief for
his agitated naiad in the contemplation of nature's beauties.
The cultivation of stocks will, of course, be most success-
fully pursued in these new gardens, and doubtless all the
inmates of the four guard-houses will not be too many to
restrain ,he bulls and bears from ravaging the parterres.

THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE INDIAN MUTINIES. —A
Paris correspondent says .—While discussing—many in a
friendly, some few in a ho,tile spirit to England —the
events and chances of the Indian insurrection, none of the
Paris papers can refuse their admiration to the heroic efforts
of the few sc tray boft iliono of Europeans scattered among
sud making head against tens of thousands of enemies.
And white acknowledging, some few of them
unwillingly enough, the often-proved gallantry and in-
vinciele tenacity of the British soldier, they are also
compelled to applaud the energy and self-confidence with
whichthe British nation meets its disasters. " Ces braves
gens sont dignes d'art Francais!" exclaimed a French
piper, the oaaer day, whoa recording the exploits of a
handful of E iglish opposed to a host of Sepoys. Although
this may excite a smile in England, I need not say that, in
a Frenchman's mouth, it is'the very highest form of praise.
To-day, a journal remarkable for its hatred of England con-
,a'ns, in its review of the financial week, the following
paragraph : —" In London no business is doing. Nevertheless
consuls maintain themselves, notwithstanding the gravity of
the news from Indic. This is one of the most curious phase.;
of the English financi d market, and can be explained only
by t'pe national pride of a c matry which wilt not avow its
embarrassments, or ,perhaps even which is so convinces
that the resistance to its domin ition will be overcome that
it awaits with paience the hour of its definitive triumph.
Whit is quite certain is, that all the circumstances are
formally and incontestably productive of decay and
feebleness, and that by a. moral energy fo- which one
cannot give too great credit (dont on ne peut savoir trop
gre) to the national spirit that inspires it, nothing is
betrayed outwardly of the effects of The gigantic s:raggle
in which England finds herself engaged."
