The Moniteur publishes a decree creating two new
professorships at the Conservatoire des Arts et
tiers, one for all matters connected wi:h spinning and
weaving, and the other for dying, printing, and
dressing woven goods. Each of the professors will
receive a salary of 5,000 francs per annum. M.
Michel Alcan, Professor at the Central School of
Arts and Manufactures, is appointed to the former,
and M. Persoz, Professor of Chemistry at Strasburg,
to the latter. The decrees come into operation on
the Ist of January, 1653.
According to letters from Toulon the squadron from
Naples is expected in that port on the 20th. The
fitting out of the Montebello is being carried on
actively. It will be placed opposite the fort and il-
luminated in the fetes to be given to the Prince
President.

M. C. Abbatucci, Chef du Cabinet of the Minister
cif, Justice, and Vice-President of the Council-
General of Corsica, has been appointed a member of
the commission charged to consider the best means of
putting down bandittism in that island.
The Official Gazette of Savoy, M. Ala-
deniza, Consul of France at Nice, has had his salary
increased from 19,000 f. to 20,000 f. This increase
is not, as might be supposed, an act of kindness of
the President, whose dangers he had shared at Stras-
liUrg. It is a measure of precaution ; for with the
1,500 refugees of the Var, the Bouches-du-libone,
and the Basses and Hautes-Alpes, the Consul of
France requires greater means of surveillance than
hitherto ; his expenses are in fac `greater."
The Gazette de Lyon says:—At the last meeting
of the iron masters a new fall took place in the price
of cast iron. This appears in contradiction with the
political calm which prevails, and with the real activity
*1 great undertakings. One sole reason caused the
reduction, namely, the disquietude, felt as to the pro-
ject ascribed to the Government, not of absolutely
adopting free trade principles, but of lowering
the tariffs on the import of foreign iron. In
spite of the assertions
persons persist in the .LWoniteur, .many
believing that concessions
will be made to England and Belgium ; and this
faeJ, very generally spread, has sufficed to cause a
fall. The price has been fixed at 165 f. the 100 kilo -
grammes on fine cast iron of the
decline first quality taken at
the works, which makes 10e the prices o!,
the fair at Besanc3n, and sf. only onon
that
of Chalons. The equestrian statue of the Emperor Napoleon
arrived at Lyons four days ago. The statue is to be
inaugurated during the stay of the Prince President
at Lyons.
We read in the Akbar cf the 7th inst. :

" The liberation of Abd-el-Kader has of late been
talked of, on condition, it is true, of his removal to
Mecca. Those rumours having obtained some credit,
the Chamber of Commerce of Algiers, in the name of
the interests it represents, has though: proper to ad-
dress to the Minister of War some pressing observa-
tions, which we fully approve. We informed that
other Chambers of Commerce, that of Philippeville in
particular, intend to combine their efforts with those
already attempted to prevent the execution of a mea-
sure, witch, whatever may be said to the con-
trary, would be now dangerouAy premature. We do
not precisely know what opinion is entertained in
France as to the importance of that resolution, and
the degree of confidence to be attached to the promises
the Emir might make in order to obtain his liberty.
But there is one thing certain, namely, that whatever
may be the sincerity of the ex-Emir, and it will be
agreed that, religiously or politically speaking, it is
very doubtful, from tile manner in which he exe-
cut-ed the modest conditions of the treaty of the
Tafna, and whatever good intentions he may have
in that respect, it does not depend upon him not to be
for us, in Algeria, a cause of disturbance and em-
barrassment. The moment he arrives at Mecca we
shall have every day pious pilgrims returning from the
lifo!y City, circulating, without his participation or
knowledge, the most dangerous reports as to his in-
tentions. Our Arabs, fond of stories and credulous
as they are, will have their eyes incessantly turned
to that side ; and, we repeat it, it would be an eternal
source of false rumours end agitation. Once more,
we trust that the liberation of Abd-el-Kader will not
take place."

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

T return exhibits a further decline in the
MOT* The deaths registered in the first week of
Augus . eto 1,124 ; in the week that ended last
Saturday (11th September) they fell to 936. The

from the summer epidemic.
