THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Emperor, it seems, is a great patron of the
turf, and he has agents at present in England buy-
ing up all the available blood stock that is offered
for sale. Within the last few days a bill opening
a supplementary credit of 300,000 f. for the national
breeding-studs has been distributed to the Legisla-
tive Body. In 1852, an application for a sum of
500,000 f. had been sent to the Council of State for
examination, but the session was too near its close
at the time to allow the matter to bo brought before
the Legislative Body. The necessities of the ser-
vice having become urgent, a decree was passed on
the 18th of October last, placing 200,000 f. at the
disposal of the Minister of the Interior, Commerce,
and Agriculture for the breeding-studs. The
present bill is to make up the 300,000 f. remaining.
The Minister of Public Works has formed a com-
mission consisting of the following members,
charged to inquire into the influence which the
establishment of railways and the freedom granted
to waggon establishments may exercise on the re-
Pair of the Imperial roads :—MM. Rouher, Dela-
roarre, Dumirail, Carlier, Fromy, Thayer, Mon-
tanier, Gayant, Lebreton, and Dubois. The minis-
ter will preside, or in his absence M. Rouher.
According to a return, published in the Moni-
teur, the receipts of the customs duties and the in-
direot taxes during the last month amounted to
8,945,549 E, being 1,344,800 f. less than in the cor-
responding month of 1852, and 734,434 f. more than
ion January, 1851.
The Vice-Admirals, Admirals, and Captains at
