The Moniteur slates that 105,000 electors voted
in Paris on Sunday, being about one-half the total
number of registered electors.
Accounts received by the Government from 35
towns, some of them •impartant, show that on an
average half the total of the electors voted.
According to the result of the votes of Paris, as
appears by the examination of Monday night, the
numbers of which we gave in our fourth edition of
Tuesday, it is evident that although nearly 45,000
would seem to have abstained from vosing, yet, as
,
compared with the two previous elections of the
-10th of December,-1848, and the 20th of December,
1851, public opinion in favour of Louis Napoleon
must have considerably advanced.
The 10th December, 1848, the numbers were
for Louis `Napoleon, 198,484, and for General
Cavaignac, 143,711. •
On the appeal of the Prince President, the 20th
December last year, the numfers for were, 197,091
against 96,511. •

MARSHALS OF FRANCE.—Our metropolitan corre-
spondent, speaking in his " Gossip" of French marshals,
says, it may not be amiss at this moment to add that our
own F. M. had very nearly been a marshal of France,
as well as of so many other countries. Louis XVIII.
would have conferred that dignity upon him ; but, much
as he owed to the Duke, he durst not so far follow the
example of she other ontinental sovereigns as thus to
compliment the victorious Englishman, or Irishman,—
which is it ? Natives of both isles have been marshals of
France, Smith O'Brien's titular progenitor, Lord Clare,
Marquis of Thomond, whose brigade smashed theßritishers
at Fontenoy in '45, was created a marshal, and became
father of a daughter who herself became grandmother
of the Duke of Praslin, the murderer and suicide.
Charles X. intended a marshal's staff for Count
O'Connell for saving his life at the siege of
Gibraltar in 'B3 ; and was only prevented carrying his
intention into execution by the events of the Three
Glorious Days. Twe Englishman have been French
marshals—first, the all-famous John Talbot, • whose
antipathy to Joan of Arc would imply that he could
have been no ancestor of the Ecetatica and Idolo-
rato Earl of Shrewsbury, just dead ; and, secondly,
the Duke of Berwick, natural son of James 11.,
by Marlborough's sister, whose victory at Almanza, in
1707, over Ruvigny, a Protestant refugee, contributed
to secure the throne of Spain for France. This was the
object in fact, of the contest, according to the learned
authority from whom these data are taken, as acknow-
ledged when before referred to here, namely Mr. James
Rocha, the Roche, the Roscoe of Cork, a gentlemen not
less accomplished in all sorts of out-of-the-way and ix-
the-way erudition than his fellow-polyglot Pat Father
Prout himself.—Liverpool Albion.
A HUNTING INCIDENT.—On Wednesday last Lori
Fitzhardinge's fox-hounds met near Rencombe, the seat
of Sir J. W. Guise. They found a fox, and had a splen-
did run through Lord Bathurst's park, at Cirencester,
and on to the Salperton-tunnel, on the Great Western
Railway. Here reynard got into a quarry and escaped ;
but, just as the whole hunt was crossing the line, a train
was observed coming round a neighbouring curve at full
speed. It was impossible to get the hounds out of the
way in time, had not the train slackened its pace.; but
the engine-driver happening to keep a good look-out
ahead, the danger signal was sounded, and the breaks
being put on, the train was pulled up in time to prevent
any accident. The noble lord was so pleased with the
conduct of the railway men, that he dispatched Mr.
Craven Berkeley to the next station with a request that
the company would allow them to accept a present of a
sovereign each, in token of his appreciation of their
vigilance.—Cheltenham Examiner.
THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY.—As early as 1825, a
company was formed for colonising New Zealand, which
purchased a small portion of land of little value and
very unfit for its purpose, and left it uncultivated and
uninhabited. In May, 1837, an association for the co-
lonisation of New Zealand was founded, which at first
applied for a Royal charter, and then rejected it when it
found that the charter would be dogged with such re-
strictions as to give little scope to the enterprising genius
of its promoters. Early in 1838 the association brought
its claims before the House of Lords ; they were sub-
mitted to a committee and very decidedly rejected. In
the same year, a bill to carry out the objects of the asso-
ciation was introduced into the House of Commons, and
thrown out by a large majority. Thus visited with the
disapprobation of all three branches of the Legislature,
the association, like other people in indifferent repute,
assumed an alias, and projected the wild and daring
scheme of founding a colony in New Zealand, in defiance
of the British Government, to be governed indepen-
dently of the Crown, under a code of laws framed for it
by the promoters.—Times.
STATE OF TRADE. The accounts of the state of trade
throughout the country during the past week are all
favourable. At Manchester there has been rather more
business, and prices are comparatively steady, although
they are still affected by the ',action in cotton. Az

Tilu Hop DUTY.—Mr. Frewen. M.P. has addressed
the following letter on this subject to the Sussex Express
of Saturday last :—" Sir,—l have been informed that
several of the Sussex hop planters are about to petition
the House of Commons to take off the war duty, and the
5 per cent. imposed by the Act of 1840. lam very sorry
to hear of this, because it will most probably end in our
remaining as we are. When the hop duty only produms
upon an average something like 270,0001. or 280,0001. a
year, if the planters feel the pressure of it, of course they
ought to ask to have the whole of it taken off, as it is so
small an amount of revenue for the Government to give
up. If I may judge from past experience, Ido not be-
lieve that a proposal to take off one-half the duty Wouli
be entertained by the house. I should say that hardly
anything is more calculated to strengthen our case in
their estimation than the fact of being opposed in their
movement by the planters in East and Mid Kent."
