FRANCE.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The following is given in a Third Edition of the
Morning Herald:—

" PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The meeting of the Senate to-day was of short du-
ration. It is understood that it will only take to
Saturday to have the Sedatus Consulte adopted in due
form. The petitions are already examined and
authenticated, and everything in shape for the Chair-
man of the Committee to draw up the necessary
formal report. Reports as to the intended measures
of the Emperor are, of course, rife. That they will
be in the interest of peace, and for the benefit of the
country at large by developing the national resources,
is admitted on all hands. It is said that the Chief of
State attaches great importance to his colonization
plans for Algeria, in which fine dependency he hopes
to locate some four millions of French people, through
the tempting advantages that will be offered to settlers
in the way of grants of land, and general assistance.
For sake of giving greater activity to railway projects
it is said that a special rail way ministry will be formed.
The conversion of the Four-and-a- Half per Cents.
into Three per Cent. Stock is still talked of, but as the
operation will be, as it is affirmed, at 75f. no com-
plaints are expected to be raised."
The members of the Court of Appeal, on Wednes-
day, voted unanimously an address to the Prince
President, thanking him for the important services
that he had rendered to the country, and expressing
an earnest desire to see the proposed new character
given to his power, in order that France may prosper
under his pacific auspices.
The fineness of the weather, and the desire to see
Abd-el-Kader, attracted an immense crowd on Wed-
nesday at Versailles. The ex-Emir left Paris at
noon with the Minister of War, and, on his arrival,
mounted a fine Arabian horse, which had been placed
at his disposal by the Prince President. He went to
the plain of Satory, where the review was to take
place, with the Minister of War, and Generals
Magnan, Korte, and Partounneaux. The two
Arabs, who came with him to Paris, rode by
his side. Several foreign offieers in uniform,
two of them English, were on horseback on the
ground. The regiments reviewed were the Ist and 2d
Carabineers, the 6th and 7th Cuirassiers, the 7th,
Bth, and 10th Artillery, the lst:and 7th Lancers, and
the 12th Dragoons. The ground was kept by the
631 regiment of the line. The Prince President w
as
not present. The review was passed by the Minister
of War, and, after the manoeuvres, at which the Emir
frequently expressed his admiration, the troops filed
off before him. After the review, Abd.el-Kader
visited the Palace, and at half-past five left Versailles
for Paris to dine with the Minister of War. He was
to dine yesterday with the Prince President at St.
Cloud.
We read in the Monitenr:—" Rumours are again
in circulation tending to disquiet notaires, agents de
change, and other Ministerial officers, relative to the
intentions of the Government with respect to their
privileges. These rumours have no foundation what-
ever. The Government is determined to show as
much perseverance, in denying them as malevolence
is obstinate in disseminating them.
Prince Jerome Bonaparte is about to give a grand
fete to his Imperial nephew at the Luxembourg.
The Pays publishes the following letter from the
Bishop of Algiers, on the subject of the decree in the
Moniteur on Wednesday, opening a credit for paying
his debts :
" Monsieur le Redacteur,-1" am too much affected
either to speak or write; I have, in fact, this moment
opened the Moniteur,
"I should, nevertheless, fail in my most sacred duty
were I not immediately to acquit, through your friendly
organ, the debt of my deep-felt gratitude, and that of
the whole Church of France, towards the generous
Prince who, after having only a few days since restored
life and liberty to an illustrious captive, has just given to
the old bishop the dearest friend of Abd-el.Kader—more
than either one or the other.
(Signed) "fi ANT. AD. Durucn,
" First Bishop of Algiers.

" Paris, November 3."
PARIS 13ouasE, Nov. 4.—To judge by the immense
crowd which flack to the Bourse, the rage for specu-
lation increases every day. An immense amount of
business was transacted yesterday ; prices at and after
the opening kept looking up, but towards the close
sales for realizing profits caused somewhat of a reac-
tion, and the market closed rather lower than the pre-
ceding day; Threes for the Account leaving off at
84f. 50c,, and Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 107 f.
50c. The market closed as follows :—three per

Four.and-a-Half per Cents., for Cash, 106 f. 50c.; for

CITY OETFIOP:EDIC HOSPITAL, HATTOY.GAUDEN.—
Thursday evening a very full meeting of the friends and
liupportersof the institution was held in the board-room—
the
Rev. Thomas Gregory, in the chair. The medical
rert
was read by the senior surgeon, Mr. E. J. Chance,
fromp
°which it appeared that since the opening of the institu-
tion
on the 24th of June, 1851, no less than 1,145 patients
trid been recipients of surgical advice and assistance, while
many more would gladly have availed themselves of the in-
door treatment, if the funds of the hospital would have per-
mitted of their reception.
