the Interior and of Commerce is very particularly en-
r saLed will the deplorable situation of the manufacturing
classes of Lyons. 'I he Council of Ministers is even taking
the matter into consideration. From 20,000 to 30,000 men
are out of employ, and consequently in want of bread, and
but a few of them can find employment on the embankments.
The Mayor of Lyoss has drawn a faithful picture of their
condition, which calls for prompt assistance. The sum of
20,000 f. distributed among them by the order of the Minister
of the Interior gives only 70c. to each individual. The me-
lancholy accounts from St. Etienne tend to increase this cala-
mitous state of things. We are assured that two deputations,
from the departments of the Loire and the Rhone have press
sed Ministers to alleviate this distress by some legislative
measure."
The French and German journals continue to publish
articles relative to the expected marriage of the Duke d'Or-
leans with the Princess Helena of Meeklenburgh Schwerin.
On this subject a letter of the II th instant from Berlin,
given by the Mt ',over Gazette, states as follows :—‘, The
Minister of State, De Kamptz, returned yesterday from has
mission to the Court of Mockleilbuissir Schwerin, and
no doubt remains as to the intended marriage of the
Princess Helena with the Duke of Orleans. To M. Bres-
son, the French Ambassador of the Cow t of Prussia, is to be
attributed the merit of forming this alliance, upon which we
can congratulate the Prince, for the Princess Helena will be
equally worthy, as her Royal mother, of being the Queen of a
people in the highest degree of civilization. The Princess wills
probably be accompanied to France by her mother by adoption
(who is by birth Princess of Ilesse Homburg, and third wife
of the late Duke), unless her constantly weak state of hssalth
should oblige her to remain in Germany. The Princesa He-
lena has frequently, accompanied by her mother by adoptions
visited Weimar, where her deceased mother, who was tire
daughter of Charles Augustus of Saxe, has left mesny favour-
able impressions. She was the intimate friend of four great
German poets—Schiller, Goethe, Wieland, and Harder ; all
of whom, at certain periods, resided at Weimar. We are in-
formed that the late Grand Duke, who had entered into a.
treaty of commerce with France, expressed a desire for this;
union, and the reigning Duke entertains the same wish as
his grandfather, in which the Courts of Prussia and Russia
participate."
On the same subject the Cuurrier Francais says...-..“ The
trousseau of the Princess Helena has heen estimated at 24,000
gold ducats, and her diamonds at about 32,000. It his been
in contemplation to add to it 500,000 f. in money, but, in con-
formity to the recent example of the Grand Duke of Olden-
burgh, the family will not allow this sum to be demanded of
the nation, which is already burdened with heavy expences.
There is no hope of the interference of the Ring of Prussia,
although he usually pays a dowry of 500,000 f. out of his, privy
purse to all the Princesses of his house who marry._ It is
thought that all the wedding presents to be expected 'from him
and the other relatives of the Princess will not amo'int to more
than from 20 to 25,000 ducats ; they, however, insist that the
jointure of the Princess shall be fixed at 600,000 f., on the
grounds that the House of Orleans is the most opulent in Eu-
rope. Ccnaequently, before M. de Flahaut or M. de Choi-
seul is sent, tilt se points should be arranged, and orders have.
been given for the final termination of the affair during the:
Session of the Chamber. It is considered inexpedient to give
to the Members of another Session the opportunity of voting
with acclamation the necessary sums. As to the expense of
the dispensation the affair is at present under the consideration
of the Court of Rome, and there is every appearance of its
being soon arranged for about 200,000 f. or 300,000 f.

BOURSE, HALF-PAST FOUL—The French Funds continued
to decline. The differences in the Cabinet, the dread of the
Ministers being obliged to retire in case the Appanage Bill be
rejected by the Chamber of Deputies, an event every day be-
coming more probable, and the late rioting in Amiens, which
proves the country not to be as yet in a very settled condition,
tended to impair public confidence and damp speculation.
The Spanish Actives fell 3 per cent. A letter from Ba-
yonne, dated the 16th, was shown on the Bourse, which an-
nounced, on the authority of another forwardrA from St. Se-
bastian early on that day, that General Evens had actually en-
tered Hernani in the morning, after beating the Carlists out
of the town. The Christinos, however, denied that the rout
could bo so complete as represented in the telegraphic de-
spatch, and, admitting that the English auxiliaries might have
taken to flight, they could not believe that the brave and well-
disciplined brigade of Narvaez had so shamefully given way.
A letter from Tolosa of the 13th mentioned that Don Carlos
was preparing to proceed in the direction of Durango, to r,p_
pose the progress of Espartero. Two battalions of the reserve
were to accompany the Prince.
