PRANCE

Accordin PARIS, JAN. 2.
g to the official account of the reception
of the Diplomatic Corps by the Emperor yesterday,
his Majesty replied as follows to the Papal
`Nuncio :

The felicitations of the Diplomatic Corps, of
which you are good enough to be the mouthpiece,
touch me sensibly. I trust that that concord may
continue to reign among us, of which your presence
around me is a sure guarantee. Be convinced that
I will make every effort that my relations with
Ili°r3ign Powers be ever animated by respect for
right, and love of peace and justice."
The Emperor, in reply to the Archbishop of
41341* said—

" I tharik you for the sentiments which you ex-
resa in the name of the clergy of Paris, and for
e prayers -which you addretio to- Heaven for- me.
I am very glad to see my efforts to maintain religi-
DUB interests appreciated by the Prelate who governs
the diocese of Paris ; and I request your prayers
for Me, for the Empress, and for the Imperial
Prince." i

A circular of the Minister of Justice, dated the
Ist instant, to the bishops, announces that the
Courocil of State is occupied in examining the pro-
ject of a decree for authorising the publication of
that part of the Encyclical Letter which grants a
jubilee. The Minister says :
" As regards the first part of the letter, and the
appendix, your Eminence will understand that the
reception and publication of these documents, which
contain propositions contrary to the principles on
'which is based the Constitution of the Empire,
could., not be authorised,"

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a limited supply of foreign stock on offer to-
day in but middling condition. Beasts and sheep were a
slow inquiry, at late rates ; but calves commanded extreme
currencies.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts, as well as from Scotland, were moderate. Most
breeds came to hand in good saleable condition. Good and
prime breeds commanded a steady sale at full prices.
Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on
former terms. The Frilliest Scots and crosses were dis-
posed of at from ss. Gd. to 5s Bd.; but the more general
quotations were ss. 4d. to ss. Gd. per 81bs. Nearly the
whole of the supply was disposed of.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,700 Scots and crosses ; from other parts of
England, including Lincolnshire, 1,200 various breeds ;
from Scotland, 340 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland,
100 oxen and heifers.

We were but scantily supplied with sheep ; but most
breeds reached us in prime order. The mutton trade was
in a sluggish state ; nevertheless, previous rates were sup-
ported. The best Downs sold at 6s per 81bs.
Calves—the supply of which was limited—moved off
steadily at full quotations—viz., from 4s 4i:l_to 5s Gd per
Sibs.

There was a fair demand for pigs at full prices. The
supply was by no means extensive.

man-of-war, and has since been delivered up to the trnitod
States authorities.

THE STONEWALL
is double turreted, 196 feet long over all, 163 feet from the
front of the forward turret to the sternpost, with a steel"
plated prow or ram extending 33 feet forward of the
turret, 35 feet breadth of beam and 20 feet depth of hog
draws 16 feet of water, with 4 feet above the water
line, and 4 feet of bulwarks above the hull not plated"
Her plating, which is about 41- inches thick on hull and
turrets or casemates, extends about 5 feet below the water
line. Her turrets are stationary, for revolving like our,
Monitors, and are more properly casemates ; the forware
one has three ports, one bow and two broadsides, and
contains a 300-pounder Armstrong rifled gun, 10-inch
bore, taking a 45-pound charge of powder, the same a°
our 15-inch guns. This gun is mounted on a neat maher
any carriage, and elevated with a quoin, unlike our guu°,
on which the screw is now universally used. It is Ala°
trained with a roller handspike instead of the blide car-
riage and eccentric wheels, on which all our heavy guns
are mounted. The other turret contains two 70-pennder
Armstrong rifles, mounted in the same
primitive manner
as thelarge gun forward, and has four ports quartering ell
the starboard and port bow and stern, she thus being able
to fire at any point except dead aft. She has two steering
wheels, one on deck, aft, and the other below, amidships,
both peculiarly attached to two rudders, with one set 01
steering gear or tackle. She has also two propellers,
which give great facility for turning almost within her
own length, and thus enable her to keep her bow con-
tinually on an adversary who could not, by superior
speed, keep out of her way.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 2-10tha per cent. dearer In Paris than in London.
London, England, 1865-12-16
