PARIS, JUNE 23..

Yesterday evening, at 6 o'clock, the Emperor,
accompanied by his aide-de-camp, General Goyon,
drove a phaeton along the quays as far as the Place
de la Bastille, whence he proceeded through the
Boulevards to the Madeleine.

His Majesty was warmly cheered during the

drive.

Prince Napoleon, as soon as he could go out,
proceeded to pay a visit to the Emperor at the
Tuileries. The interview was of some length. His
Imperial Highness is about to leave Paris for
Prangins.
BOURSE, June 22.—Although the rates realised in
the markets for Stocks and Shares have not mate-
rially augmented since the opening of business to-
day, a better disposition has been manifested, and
it is satisfactory to have to notice symptoms of a
return of some degree of activity. Threes, for the
Account, which opened at 66fr. 30c., have since im-
proved, and are now quoted at 66fr. 37ie. The
shares of the Credit Mobilier are held firmly at
730 fr., being a slight improvement on yesterday's
closing rates. Italian Five per Cents. have also
been {lone on better terms, the present quotation
being 66fr. 80c. The following were the closing
quotations:—

ATHENS, June 10.

Prior to the opening of the Chamber yesterday
some 90 deputies present in the capital met in the
hall of session, while a numerous crowd occupied
the tribunes and the space ordinarily prohibited to
the public. Deputies and spectators elbowed one
another in the most unedifying confusion. Conver-
sation was carried on in tones considerably above
regulation pitch, and it was hardly possible to make
out what was going on at the President's table,
round which the multitude surged so closely that
no passage was even left open on the side which the
King was to enter. In the midst of this disorder
the business technically termed " constituting the
bureau" of the house had to be effected. The senior
member was provisionally to take the chair, and the
juniors to officiate as secretaries. M. BulyaPis, the
leader of the Opposition, put forward M. Livadas
as the senior member, and the latter gentleman im-
mediately assumed the presidential chair. Four
other Opposition members slipped into the secre-
taries' seats, the youngest of their number being at
least 45, and therefore hardly fulfilling the requisite
condition of juvenility. The main point, however,
was for the Opposition to-gain a small advantage,
if possible, over the Ministerialists by getting their
candidates into the posts of authority. The victory
seemed already won. But now came the tug of
war ; Greek did meet Greek practically, and, in
fact, Admiral Canaris presented himself and claimed
the presidency upon the score of seniority to the
post, the deputies and the
rah
present occupant of the chair. M. Livadas de-
egleinnicAgl publicto
Admiral Canaris was bullied or encouraged, told to
give
tookup
partis in the squabble. Poor old
come down or go up according to the political bias
of the speaker ; cheers and hisses broke forth from
the tribunes ; &hand-to-hand contest seemed upon
the point of taking place when, luckily for the pre-
servation of the public peace, in came M. Braila,
Minister for foreign affairs. His arrival, promising
as it looked at first, did not ultimately mend matters
much, for with a view of yielding to neither party,
he proposed a third candidate—M. Marcora, deputy
for Corfu---and as a natural consequence succeeded
in discontenting both. The crowd around the table
would not let M. Marcora pass, and when M.
Caumaunduras proposed that the question should
be put to the vote, the Opposition party rejected
that mild compromise as well.
How the row would have ended is exceedingly
doubtful, had not M. Lazaretas, the member for
Zea, by some means succeeded in getting through
the crowd, and ejecting M.Livadas, by persuasion or
force, from the chair, in which he immediately in-
stalled his own person. " I am the sinner. Let him
turn me out who can," or words to that effect, was
the first Presidential speech of the session. 'The
roar of laughter that succeeded seemed to put every-
body in a good humour, for .M. Lazaretas, though
by no means the oldest member present, succeeded
in keeping his post. Other members dislodged the
opposition secretaries, and the house being thus
" constituted," business commenced. The first thing
to be done was to choose a committee by lot
to receive the King at the main entrance
after which the swearing-in of the members com-
menced by the Metropolitan. The noise, however,
still continued, and it was hardly possible to hear a
word.
At half-past eleven the usher announced the
arrival of the King, which seemed to produce very
little impression. His Majesty was, however, re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheering, although order
and silence were not fully restored in one of the
tribunes. His Majesty began to read his speech in
the midst of the noise, stopping from time to time
in the hope the disturbance would cease. Losing
patience at last, he called out to the noise-makers
to be silent, but .with very little effect, for, notwith-
