with a better disposition to effect transactions, but
subsequently relapsed into the same state of inac-
tivity which has been noticeable during the past few

announced at the general meeting of the principal
shareholders of the Credit Mobilier yesterday, the
stock of that company has shown no appreciable im-
provement, and the business effected has been con-
ductea with great reserve at 800 f. Threes, for the

THE EMPEROR'S VISIT TO ALGERIA.
ALGIERS, May 13.
The Mobacher, an Algerian journal, gives the
following :
" The morning after the arrival of the Emperor
in Algiers, his Majesty honoured the Bach-Aghas
and Aghas of Algiers, and also the two members of
the Council General of the same province, with an
invitation to breakfast.

"At the conclusion of the collation, Si Hassen
ben Brimath, one of the members of the Council
General, addressed the Emperor in the name of his
co-religionists there present, in a long and flatter-
ing speech, professing the greatest devotion towards
his Majesty, and concluding the discourse with cries
of Viv l'Enzpereur ! in which he was unanimously
joined by the rest of the guests.
" In reply, the Emperor expressed to the native
chiefs the satisfaction it afforded him to have heard
their protestations of devotion and fidelity. He also
said that he indeed looked upon them as his children,
and that he placed reliance in their oaths.
" ' Your religion,' " his Majesty added, *" like the
Christian faith, enjoins the strict observance of
sworn faith. God is the common father of all men :
he reads all hearts, and treats every one according to
his works.

" ' You know that it is God who has imposed upon
me the duty of rewarding those of my Mussulman
children who serve France with fidelity, even as he
orders me to punish with severity those who revolt
against my authority and sow agitation in the
country. In speaking this to you, who have all
remained faithful, I am convinced that you will
aid the Governor-General to prevent crises like that
which occurred in the past year.' "

OPENING OF THE STET TIN
EXHIBITION,
STETTIN, May 13.

The Crown Prince of . Prussia yesterday opened
the Universal Exhibition of Industrial and Manu-
facturing products in this town.
In reply to an address, his Royal Highness said--
" Gentlemen,--I greet you to-day with joy and
satisfaction in presence of this completed work.
You have been certain from the commencement of
my warmest sympathy in promoting the Exhibition,
and I can, thdrefore, now, as Viceroy of Pomerania,
express my pleasure at its success, both on account
of its importance to Stettin, to this province, and to
our general country.
" Next I heartily bid the foreign guests welcome
who have largely contributed by their zeal and par-
ticipation to the adornment and splendour of the

"It has filled my heart with thankfulness and
emotion to find that you entertain a kindly
recollection of the high services rendered by the
lamented Prince Consort in the impulse, develop-
ment, and promotion of manufactures and industry.
May his spirit and his creative activity, which is
now daily more and more recognised in its full
importance, constantly impart to our efforts the
richest blessing, and thus be beneficial to the ob-
jects of this our undertaking.
" Let us proceed, then, to the opening of the
Exhibition with the wish that it may conduce to the
prosperity of Stettin, the province of Pomerania,
and our whole more immediate as well as general
country."
The Crown Prince then made the circuit of the
building, declared the Exhibition opened, and called
for three cheers for the King. His Royal Highness
passed several hours in the building, and returned
the following day to Berlin.
