FRANCE.

The Union and Univers have articles on the ru-
mour that the French CT' overnment has resolved to
enforce the observance of the Sabbath. It • appears
from an advertisement in- the jmrnals that a consi-
derable numberof tradesmu have already announced
their intention to close their shops on Sunday. The
Union, in mentieniug the fict, expresses the satisfac-
tion that it derives from it, and a hope that the ex-
ample' will be generally ft'liowed.
It appears, says the Debats, that itis in contem-
plation to change the hews of opening arifi closing the
Bowie of .Paris, so at; to enable telegraphic dispatches
to be sent off the saait day to. all the great towns
of France with the last qtiubtions of the day. In
fact, by fixing the Paris hours at from twelve to two,
and these of Lyons, 13ordeaux, Marseilles, Rouen, and
Havre from four to fire, an ahumlance of time would
be left, after tha close of the Paris Bourse, to send by
electric telegraph the official prices, so as to allow
them to be posted in the departments before the or
of each local bourse. It is sated that applications have
been Made by several towns in the departments to
have this chhnge in the hours effected, and there is
reason to believe that the Minister of Finance will
accede to the representationaniade. This intention
was- spoken of yesterday at the Bourse, and some
persons even went the length of affirming that the
proposed change was already decided on, and would
soon be carried into eff,,ct.

- Since the end of March the Bank of France has
handca over to the Prefecture of _Police not less than
300 false pieces of 5f., which it had taken in !he
course of busines. False pieces of 20f , exceedingly
well executed, are now also in circulation. One was
passed on Thursday evening at a grocer's shop in the
Place de la Bourse.

The Corsa steamer brought into Havre on Thurs.
*lay morning four English boats, taken in the act a
dredging for oysters within the French lines.

ARABIA.

Acdording to the-Trieste Zeitung, a courier from
Jiddah had passed through Cairo on the 231 of 33/lay,
on his way to Constantinople. A French ship of the
line of 120 guns bad appeared off Jiddab. It is sup-
posed that formal po3sei4ion is about to be taken of a
part of the coast of Abyssinia or Senaar, near the Bay
of Amphilia, which is about three degrees north of
the straits of BA-el-Maudeb.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS:

The LORD CHANqiN'LLOR took his seat oa tho Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.

LAW OF EVIDENCE (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Lord LYNDHURST, with reference to this Bill,
stated that having communicated with the law authorities
of Scotland, who were desirous of securing some further
evidence as to the manner in which the late alterations
in the law of evidence worked in England, he should not,
therefore, at present persevere in the motion of which he
had given notice, to insert certain words in the Bill,
with a view to extending the whole of these alterations
to the law of Scotland.

Lord BROUGHAM approved of the postponement of
he Noble Lord's motion for the present session; but he
hoped it would not be understood that the Scotch
lawyers were opposed to the principles of the alteration;
they merely wished to have a little more insight into its
working in this country.
Lord CAMPBELL said he hoped to see the whole of
these alterations introduced into the Scotch law daring
the next session.
After a few words from Lord LTINTo and Lord LYND,
UCRST the subject dropped.
