"It results from the monthly reports addressed by the

all the markets the price of corn and cattle has attained an
amount unknown for a long time. Farmers and manufac-
turers are undertaking important works, which are at the
same time a new source of riches for the country, and a gua-
rantee of the comfort of the populations. On every point of
Franca man bless the firm and courageous hand which, in
putting an end to the revolutionary crisis, has opened a new
era to civilization. The reports sent in by the procareurs-
generaux show that the labours of the mixed com-
missions are nearly terminated. A great number of men
have been set at liberty, and have returned to their
usual occupations. A more restricted number of individuals
kave been sentenced to transportation, and amongst them
are many liberated convicts and men of noted bad character.
The severe but just measures adopted by the Government
are generally approved of. Everywhere the departure of the
men condemned has been effected without the slightest
symptom of agitation. In some places groups of curious
persons were to be seen, but the calm and indifferent demea-
nour of the populations shows how little sympathy tie arti-
sans of disorder excite among the masses."
" All the old employes of the former Legislative As-
sembly have," says the Patrie, " been re-established in
their functions."

Accounts from Algeria state that the penitentiary
colony of Lambessa was prepared to receive the trans-
ported prisoners, who were shortly expected to arrive
these. The general commanding the province, the pre-
loot, and a commission of engineers had visited the esta-
blishment, which had already received a part of its civil
and military personnel.

The ball iiien on Wednesday night last by the Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs was attended by all the beau
monde o f Paris. The corps diplomatique, ministers,
senators, councillors of State—in a word, all the civil
and military notabilities of the capital, with a great
number of foreigners of distinction, thronged the saloons.
More thins 2,000 persons were present; and, in order to
issprovo the means of accommodation, a long gallery
tastefully ornamersted had been erected tlafra whole length
of the garden.
