; day, states that terror has reigned in Paris since the
emeute of the 12th inst.,. As we shall endeavour to
give this article on Monday, the reasons which pre-
vent its insertion to-dav hinder us from commenting
upon it before its appearance.
Numerous arrests took place in Paris on Wed-
nesday. On :Monday as the KING was entering
the exhibition of arts and manufactures a man
was arrested wearing a blue blouze, beneath which
he had concealed a poinard. No doubts were en-
tertained by the by-standers of his having gone
there with a view to stab the KING.
On Wednesday Marshal SOULT gave a grand
diplomatic dinner, at which the whole of the diplo-
matic body in Paris were present.
The Chamber of Deputies did not meet on
Thursday. The new Ministers had signified that
they would regard the grant of the Secret Service
Money as a vote of confidence.
The Madrid Papers received are of the 16th inst.
They are barren of interesting intelligence.
HOUR SE.--PARIS, THURSDAY, MAY 23.
HALF-PAST TIMED. —There has been but little business
done in general to day. For the Account the Three per
Cents. opened at 81f. 2/ic., and closed at 81f. 35e. The
Five per Cents , from Illf. 15c,, rose to 111 f. 25c., last
price; thus each are se. better than yesterday. For
Money, the Three per Cents. are sc. lower, and the Five
per Cents. sc. higher. The Bank of France Shares have
advanced 10f. The Laffitte Bank of I,ooof. Shares have
improved 2f. 50c. ; those of 5,000 f. have not been quoted.
The Belgian Five per Cents, have declined if ; the Bel-
gian Bark Shares have advanced 10f. The Spanish Ac-
tive has been stationary at 194. The Portuguese Three
per Cents., now but seldom quoted, has been done at 21/.
The St. Germain Railway Shares have declined; the
Versailles Right Bank cpened at 15f. lower than yester-
day's closing price, of which they have recovered 10f. ; the
Havre are unaltered, and nothing done in the Orleans.
The Versailles Left Bank have improved 20f. There is
no doubt that efforts are making to obtain assistance from
the Government for this last undertaking, either in a loan,
or getting it to guarantee the interest of a loan, in case
the future receipts of the Company should not be sufficien
to meet the same. To do either, the consent of the Chant.
bers is necessary, and it is very doubtful that the Govern.
ment will be induced to accede to either proposition.

We understand that a Public Meeting of the Parishes
of Kensington, Hammersmith, and Fulham, will be held
at the King's Arms, Kensington, on Monday, to vote
an Address to the QUEEN, thanking her MAJESTY
fur overthrowing the attempted establishment of
the PEEL aristocracy. Lord KENYON will take

the Chair, and most of the leading Reformers
in these parishes have expressed a determination to be
present. We trust that such districts as have not yet
addressed her MAJESTY will lose no time in doing so, as
it is important that their presentation should take place
as early as possible after the re-assembling of Parliament.
