have the questions solemnly argued before the Su-
preme Court. We cannot entertain much doubt as to I
the result. It would, however, be desirable that '
such arrangements should be made as would prevent
any possible difficulty. Nothing could be easier than
to provide that copies of the depositions taken before
the magistrates, duly authenticated, should be trans-
mitted with the warrant, so that the nature of the
offence and of the testimony by which a prima fade
case was established against the person, whose extra-
dition was demanded, might be clearly shown. All
that then could be required would be the identifica-
tion of the prisoner, and when that was given the
surrender of his person should be a matter of course.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday
The Moniteur promulgates the Senatus Consultum
constituting the High Court of Justice.
The Mayor of Fougerolles, Indre, has been sus-
pended, and the Municipal Council dissolved by the
Prefect.

Yesterday's Moniteur publishes a return of the
revenue for the first six months of the present year,
which amounts to 389,497,000 f. As compared with
the same period of 1851, there is an increase of
25,837,000 E, and of 39,030,000 f. over that of 1850.
The State has taken possession of the domain of
Dreux, with the exception of the mausoleum, and the
agents, after executing the orders of the Government,
proceeded to La Ferteidame to complete their mission
by taking possession of that domain.
... On Tuesday last, being the tenth anniversary
.of
he death of the Duke of OgnExam, a funeral service
was performed in the Chapelle de Tombeau', at
Dreux, in presence of some friends and faithful ser-
vants of the ex• Royal Family.
_ There is an article in the Pays on the elections in
England, which, considering that the Pays is a Mi-
nisterial organ, has much interest. This journal re-
gards it as quite impossible that the Derby Ministry
can remain in power, and considers that the only man
in England capable of forming a Cabinet which shall
have a chance of duration is Lord PALMERSTON. It is
fears evident from its language that the Pays nothing
for the alliance with England from the return of
Lord PALMERSTON to office with the supreme direc-
tion of affairs.

There is a long article in the Assemblie Nationale,
on the speculations at the Bourse, to the exclusion ofhe
investments in really useful enterprises. The danger
attending excessive speculation in t funds to the
persons engaged in it, and the injury that is inflicted
upon the interests of trade by
the use in this way of
capital, which might be made to increase gradually
and safely if applied to other purposes, is pointed out
in strong terms.
A. Berlin letter of the 12th says, that on the arrival
of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic on the
Prussian frontier, he will find a deputation appointed
by the King of PRUSSIA, to present their compliments
to him in the name of the KING.
The thermometer was a little lower in Paris on
Wednesday than on Tuesday,
but from the state of
the atmosphere the heat was more sensibly felt. At
two o'clock in the afternoon the thermometer of M.
CHEVALIER stood at 33 deg. nine-tenths of centigrade
•
(93 of Fahrenheit). At the same hour, on Tuesday,
it marked 34 deg. six-tenths centigrade (94 deg. one
third Fahrenheit).
The elevation of the temperature has produced so
important a change in the crops, that in some of the
departments the rye harvest is already completed.
The quantity is large, and the grain is in excellent
condition. In the Valley of Montmorency, and as
far as Pontoise, all the crops have a fine appearance,
and in many parts the yield of oats is greater than
it has been for some years. The accounts from the
wine districts are much more favourable than could
have been expected from the bad weather in June.
The grapes have advanced considerably, and if there
should be no unfavourable weather for a long dura-
tion, the vintage will take place at the usual time.
41The B ,arse was dull, without much change in prices.
