report on the Bill relative to the consular jurisdiction

in China. The Senate, after discussing the measure,
authorized its promulgation. A similar decision was
come to relative to four local Bitla, and to that which
concerns the session of the Bois de Boulogne to the
city of Paris. The Senate next proceeded to discuss
the Senatus Consuitrun, relative to the organization of
the High Court of Justice ; and, after observations
from 111.. MESNARD, Court PORTALI4,"MarshaI VAIL-
LAST, M. TROPLONG, Baron DM CROUSEILIIES, the
Reporter, and MM. R.OI3IIER, SIBER DE CORNILLON,
and LACAze, the measure was declared to be
adopted. The Senate next declared that it did
not oppose the promulgation of the Bill accord-
ing an extraordinary credit tor the decoration and
fitting up of the Imperial and Royal Museum; of
that granting a credit for the purchase of Mtiauxo's
picture of the " Conception de la Vierge,;" of that
granting an extraordinary credit ter Charitable insti-
tutions ; of that nicking a certain provision for the
persons employed in the last civil list; of that grant-
ing a credit for the expense of raising the monument
to the memory of the late Archbishop of PARIS; and
of twat according a special and extraordinary credit
for works executed at the tomb of the Emperor
.NAroLv.oN. The Senate next proceeded to discuss
the budget of 1853, and declared that it did not op-
pose the promulgation of the Bill. The President of
the Senate then pronounced a closing address, which
was received with numerous marks of sympathy and
approbation. Count X. DE CASABLANCA, the Mi•
mister of -State, was then introduced, and read the
proclamation declaring the Senate to be closed. The
senators then at once separated.
The decree by which the Senate is closed is as

The Moniteur promulgates the Bills relating to the
definitive settlement of the budget of 1849: likewise,
the Convict Rehabilitation Bill, and that granting an
extraordinary credit of 170,0001. for the repairs of
the Church of St. Oueo, at Rouen.
The Impartial de la Meurthe announces that the
PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, on the occasion
of the inauguration of the Paris and Strasburg Rail-
way, will pass the night of the 17th at Nancy. All
the towns through which the line passes have eagerly
voted the sums necessary to do honour to the Cbief
of the State. The Municipal Council of Nancy has
voted a sum of 10,0001. The PRINCE PRESIDENT
will be invited to be present at a grand ball at that
place. Fetes are also being organized at Luneville.
The Courrier de Limoges announces that an ad-
dress has been agreed to by the Municipal Council,
to be forwarded to the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the
Republic, inviting him to visit that town during his
journey to the south. The same journal states that a
sum of money has been placed at the disposal of the
Mayor, in order to receive the PRINCE PRESIDENT
with fitting honour.
The 76th anniversary of the declaration of the
independence of the United States was celebrated
on Saturday by the Americans is Paris, and a
number of their friends, at the Cercle des Deux
Mondes, M. MEET and M. LATOUR St. YEARS
read verses composed in honour of the day, the
former dwelling on the natural beauties of America,
and the latter on the virtues of WASHINGTON.
Afterwards M. SIISLTON SANFORD, Secretary of the ,
American Legation at Paris, pronounced an address,
concluding in these words :-" From the other side
of the Atlantic our menaced country cried to you,
Frenchmen ! help l' and your assistance was not
wanting-you extended the hand to us, and became
the support of the oppressed. The ties whidi bind
you to us are indissoluble, fur you aided us to break
our oh .ins! Your ancestors called themselves the
Franke, a word which in their language signified
free; and they so called themselves because they
bad received from heaven a mission of liberty. You
have determined not to degrade that noble name;
you have dreamed of the enfranchisement of peoples;
and you have contributed to ours. Your intervention
in America fortes an epoch in modern history; that
was the first sign of the new spirit, the first step.
of the new Revolution, the first shock of the sub-
lime fluid which enlightens and destroys, the death-
blow of old society. The echo of that blow still
vibrates in every ear ; the soil still trembles beneath
our steps by the shock it produced. Terrible
storms, it is true, followed ; but storms purify the
air ; and France has the rare privilege of coming
out of them greater and more brilliant. The
United States, once arrived at independence, no
longer bad any enemies to combat, and an era of
prosperity unexampled in the annals of history com-
menced for them. Their wars have given them peace
-their servitude bas secured them liberty-their
misfortunes have brought them a long continued and
marvellous prosperity. These benefits we owe in
great part to France. We know that, and take
pleasure in repeating it. The friendships which have
gratitude for their basis are the most durable. Thus
the love of the United States for France will be eternal,
and never will the sword of war dare to sever it. Every
day, thanks to steam, the Atlantic becomes narrower,
and our two nations draw nearer to each other;
their relations become more frequent; the exchange
of their productions more active. They are friends,
they are sisters, and at the same time rivals, but there
is nothing hostile in their rivalry : it is a noble emu-
lation which has for its object manufactures, wealth,
arts, science, and literature-in a word, all that con,-,
stitutes the force, the glory, and the power of nations.
Tne whole proceedings of the day passed over most
pleasantly.
At two o'clock, on Monday, the thermometer
marked in the shade 90 50 of Fahrenheit.

SLOANE, THE SPECIAL PLEADER.—This unfortu-
nate man, who, with his wife, was convicted in February,
1851, at the Central Criminal Court of cruelty to Jane Wil-
bred, his servant, died yesterday morning after a lengthened
illness. The sinking condition of the unhappy man had
been observed for some time past, and through the kindness
of the Rev. Mr. Davis, the ordinary of Newgate, the atten-
tion of some humane persons was -drawn to the case. A
medical examination took place, and certificates having been
given by the proper medical officers, showing that any
further imprisonment would be fatal to his existence, a
free pardon was obtained about a week since through the
Home Secretary, and Mr. Sloane was removed to private
lodgings in Goswell-street-road, where he expired yesterday
morning, from the effects of illness arising from mental
anxiety and confinement. We believe the latter few months
of his existence had been made as comfortable as the prison
regulations would allow.
NEW CUSTOMS REGULATIONS AT THE DOCKS.—
The Customs authorities have directed that the following
regulations for the performance of the landing duty at the
Ducks be permanently adopted, viz. : That the several
docks be divided into stations, and each station placed
specially under landing-waiters to be selected for the pur-
pose of examining and delivering free goods agreeably to
the regulations of the minutes of the 26th of November,
1851, and the 27th of January, 1852, and to receiyedom.

supervision of the landing-surveyors and other superior
officers, in order that the interests of the revenue may be
protected, the officers of the Crown actively and serviceably
employed, and the requirements of trade attended to and
facilitated as much as possible.

THE CROPS IN K.ENT.—Te hay harvest is pro-
ceedg rapidly under the favourable influence of the last few
days of hot sunny weather, and the produce will be better
than was expected. We regret to learn that the potato
blight is showing itself in different places in this neighbour-
hood. From the Weald (Rolvenden) we learn that the beans
are a little improving; but the peas are decidedly worse.—
