We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday. _ _ _

It was reported in Paris, on Saturday, that, thanks to
the good offices of the Kixo of the BELGIANS, the per-
sonal differences between M. GurzoT and the Marquis
of NORMANDY are settled. M. GUIZOT has undertaken
to make the amende honorable by explaining away the
offensive character of the words made use of by him in
the Chamber, and with that explanation the Marquis of
NORMANDY will express himself satisfied. With regard
to the differences between the two countries on the subject
of the Montpensier marriage, they still remain
in stalu quo. The Journal des Dibats of Friday
has an article on the financial statement of the English
Chancellor of the Exchequer, the writer of which (from
internal evidence we should say it proceeded from the
pen of M. GurzoT) can scarcely conceal the joy which
he evidently feels at the present distressed state of Ire-
land, which he considers effectually prevents England
from taking any steps to vindicate her rights abroad.
M. GUIZOT, however, forgets the distressed condition of
the French people and the embarrassed state of the
French finances. •As the Reforme of S.anrday justly
remarks:—

"The Journal des Debats might have strengthened its
argument and completed its demonstration. It had merely
to refer to the accounts of M. Lacave Laplagne, our Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, and all the estimates being analysed,
tint of publie works, that of provisions, that of our over-
plus revenue mortgaged, without counting the ordinary and
extraordinary grants, it would have been seen that poverty
is not less great in France than elsewhere, and that conse-
quently there is a double guarantee for _the peace of the
cowards. Yes ; such is the clear and precise result of an
alliance of sixteen years—a deficit in the two states and dis-
tress amongst the two, nations."
The Jesuit paity, have gained a great victory at Court.
They have prevented the appointment of M. HEBERT tti-
the .Ministry of aiistice. The Patrie says— -'•
"It was reported to-day at the Chamber of Deputies that
the ordonnance for the nomination of M. 'Hebert as Minister
of JastiCe and Public Worship was to have been signed this
day, but that it had been postponed. It was added that M.
Dumon, Minister of Public Works, had been sent for to the
palace his day at noon, and earnestly entreated by the Queen
to take the portfolio of M. Martin (du Nord). • M. Dumon,
it is said, gave way, and it was thought at the Chamber
that he consented to remove to the hotel of the Place 'Ven-
dome. M. Liadieres was spoken of to replace M. Damon at
the Public Works. M. Vitet has positively refused this
portfolio. He desires only that of finance."

And this is La mezlleure des republiques. Certainly
those who accepted it in July, 1830, little thought that in
1847 the parti prate would be in the ascendant in the
Tuileries, dictating to the KING of the FRENCH, as it
was wont of yore to dictate to the King of France, who
should or should not be Minister. The only cause
that can be alleged against the appointment of M.
lIEBERT is the hatred of the priests to him, on account
of his boldly withstanding all attempts to give the mo-
nopoly of education to the Jesuits. On this occasion, at
all events, we wish LOUIS PHILIPPE had exercised his
own personal will, and persevered in the appointment.
The Courrier of Marseilles says that the commercial
advices from the Levant are of a satisfactory character
as regards the arrival of grain expected from those ports.
A vessel from Odessa had brought the intelligence to
Coastantinuple that, on the 4th, the ice had broken up,
and that more than fifty vessels were able to sail for the
Bo2phorus. From this circumstance it is hoped that, if
if the thaw has not yet become general, it will not be long
before it becomes so, and that departures will take place
without interruption. It is stated that numerous vessels
had been engaged at Constantinople and Smyrna, to
take in corn at the different ports of Turkey, for Mar-
seilles.

All the members of the household of Don CARLos
have quitted Bourges.
Don ENRIQUE arrived at Toulon on the 21st ult.
Notwithstanding the fall of a half per cent. in the
English Funds on Thursday, a rise took place on the
Paris Bourse on Saturday so opportune for the interests
of the " Bulls " as to suggest suspicions that it was facti-
tious. The principal ground advanced for it was the
alleged (we are assured) real arrangement of the
quarrel of M. GulzoT and the English Ambassador in
Paris already (above) alluded to. Before the Bourse
the Three-per-Cents. were done (in the Passage de
1' Opera) at 78c. 15c.

day at 78f. 50c. ; the Five per Cents., 118 f. 80c.; the Or-
leans Railway Shares, 1,2751. ; Rouen, 870 E ; Havre,

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. 25.—There is a
moderate demand for refining descriptions, but the grocery
kinds are neglected; the sales of the sleek are unimportant.
The refined market is- still dull, and a shade lower.—Bristol
Mercury.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—This week's
arrivals are large of wheat, and good of other articles. A
decline of ls. to 2s. per quarter is submitted to on wheat, at
which there is a healthy demand. For barley there is very
little inquiry, and prices are 2s. per quarter lower. Oats
and Shelling are unaltered in value, but meet a readier sale.
Beans remain same as last stated.
A NEW WAY OF PAYING ARREARS OF BASTARDY.

tenance of a bastard child, but, not relishing the burden,

tion. Last week the friends of the mother, who reside at
Bishop Burton, near Beverley, received, by carrier, a heavy,

as s

adopted to satisfy the arrears due for the support of the child.
We would advise the unfortunate tradesman to send his next
remittance in a barrel full of those unctuous, sticky ingre-
dients, and then the poor people may set up a bastard oil
and tar shop.—Hull Advertiser.
The Tribunal of Commerce of Paris was on Mon-
day troubled by an unusual act of violence. A case of fraud
was being argued, in which damages were demanded against
a man named Wuy. The counsel for the plaintiff, M. Martin-
Leroy, was pleading, when Wuy suddenly rose, rushed over
to where the Learned Gentleman was standing, and spat in
his face. Tbis conduct caused for the moment great confu-
sion, and the presiding judge at once ordered the offender to
be taken into custody. a Martin-Leroy immediately said—
" The outrage which you have all witnessed. cannot in any
lower me, and I despise it • but, as it might be
way lmight supposed
that any language use was actuated by anger at the
conduct of the defendant, I demand permission from the
Court to desist, and to allow the case to be deliberated on
without any further remark from me. Further, to prove
to the man who has thus insulted me how much I am above
such an affront,l entreat the court to use indulgence towards
him for his conduct." The President immediately ordered
the offender to be removed from the court, and placed in
custody in a common prison until interrogated within
twenty-four hours, as prescribed by Art. 91 of the Civil
Code, subject further to such punishment as the criminal
courts should think fitting to impose. Wuy was then re-
moved. The President then addressed the learned connsel
as follows :—"The Court has to express to you all the indig-
nation it feels at the outrage just offered to you, and is happy
in being able to testify that the moderation of your address
in no way called for any,sueli violence. The Court has also'
to express its hope that ~the prompt committal of the of-
fender, and the punishnient subsequently to be inflicted on
him, will prevent a repetition of such conduct. As to the
case under consideration, the Court will examine it with its
usual impartiality." The sitting was then brought to a
close amidst some agitatien.
THE INCONVENIENCE OF A RED FACE.—Mr. John
Thraves, a respectable farmer, residing at Edmonthorpe
Lodge, near Market Overton, appeared before the magistrates
at the Town-hall, Stamford, on Saturday last, under the
following aggravating circumstances : About half- past
three o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday week, being Can-
' dlemas Fair, Mr. Thraves, in company with Mr. Hack, of
Clipsham, was standing in the High-street, giving direc-
tions to his son relative to some beast he had that day pur-
chased, when policeman Mitch
• ell stepped up and asked Mr.
Thraves his name and address: The three were surprised at
the inquiry, but Mr. Thraves instantly furnished the desired
information, and soon afterwards walked towards Iron-
monger-street, when Mitchell followed them, and asked Mr.
Thraves his Christian name ; he, considering this second
application a rude annoyance, refused to tell him. A few
days afterwards be was summoned to appear at the Town.
hall, as above mentioned, to answer a charge of drunkenness.
He attended accordingly, and Mitchell and two other officers
gave evidence to the effect of his being intoxicated. On the
other band it was sworn by Mr. Hack and his son, as well
as the servant of Miss Hack, That such was entirely untrue.
Upon cross-examination the ,policemen stated their convic-
tion that the defendant must have been in a state of intoxi-
cation, not only from the circumstance of his jolting against
his two companions as he walked down the street, but also
from his having a very red face. The magistrates had ocular
demonstration that Mr. Thraves, even at that early period
of the day, was blessed with a colour, a portion of which
thousands in the smoky districts would be happy to possess;
and they unhesitatingly dismissed the summons.—Stamford
Herald.
FIRE CAUSED BY TAKING A PINCH OF SNUFF.—
A few nights since, at Stanton, an old woman by the name
of Bruce thought proper, about midnight, to strike a light
in order to take pinch of snuff, and by way of making it con-
venient, set the candle on her pillow, but before she could ac-
icommodate her nose the whole bed was in flames. and also
part of her night dress. Her screams soon awoke the neigh-
bours, who hastened to her assistance. A few minutes
longer and the whole house, large barn, and out-buildings,
must all have gone. Much credit is due to a man by the
the name of Pettitt, and his son, who entered the apartment
with only a few things on them, and, after much difficulty,
succeeded in arresting the progress of the fire.—Suffolk
Herald.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
• CITY, QUAR7ER TO THREE.
Tne sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 2,500
bales, without alteration in prices. Shares were quiet again.
The taking of the new loan at the Treasury this morning
attracted rather a large attendance of City capitalists and
others, but there were some parties absent, we believe, who
were present at the meeting for the settlement of the pre-
liminary terms. Before ten o'clock, the ante-rooms of the
Treasury-chambers were occupied by the parties prepared to
tender, and at the hour appointed they were ushered into the
audience room, where the Chancellor of the Exchequer was
seated, Lord John Russell being on his right hand; Baron
Rothschild, Mr. A. Rothschild, and two others of the part
ners of the firm, were also there. The Governor and Deputy
Governor of the Bank of England, Sir John Rae Reid, Mr.
Bates, Mr. Baring, Mr. Mildmay, and about fourteen other
parties connected with the monied interest, were also in
attendance. Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Ex .
chequer, opened the business by stating that he was ready to
receive tenders upon the terms proposed on„Thursday last.
The Baron Rothschild handed in a sealed letter, which
was opened, and then followed another from Mr. Baring
Both biddings were 89'. 10s. for 1001. Stock in the Three per
Cent. Consols. It was clearly evident, then, that those two
firms had coalesced, as no offer was made by the Governor
of the Bank of England, or by others who were in the room.
And immediately afterwards, in reply to a question, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer said that it was the intention
of himself and Messrs. Barings to take the loan between
them. After a slight hesitation the Chancellor acceded to
the terms, but a question was then raised as to the word-
ing of a document read on Thursday as respects the pay-
ment of interest. It was stoutly contended for that the
Chancellor would give interest upon instalments made in the
months up to the 2d July, so that those who took part of the
loan would be entitled to the July dividends. It was consi-
dered but reasonable that as no discount was to be allowed, as
usual, this concession ought to be granted. After considerable
discussion, the parties interested in the bidding retired and
consulted together. The result was, that a paper was drawn
up by Mr. Baring, explanatory of their views of the contract
which the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord John
Russell read. Shortly the Chancellor said that, as there was
no opposition, and that as it seemed to be the feeling to con-
vert the scrip into stock, he would grant interest on payments
made in full in July, and also interest upon the monthly
payments up to that date; but that in case payments re•
mained until October, then the year's interest from the sth
January last, until the sth January, 1848, would be paid. at
one time. These terms finally were sanctioned, and the con-
tracting parties signed the document, which was' witnessed
by the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank.
Accounts ,received to-day from Holland state::that the
Finance Minister had laid his estimates before the Legisla.'.
tare, but that, although they exhibited an increase of ex-
penditure, there was also an augmentation in the receipts cf
1,300,000 florins.

The wheat market is steady this morning, but barley, oats,

The English Stock Exchange has presented an extra-
ordinary appearance again to-day, the excitement having
been carried to so high a pitch that immediately upon the
commencement of business the confusion of tongues conveyed
no imperfect idea of what Babel may have been. Skouting
and quoting, were, however. not the only events, for
there was a good deal of business done. We need hardly
say that the new scrip was all the rage, and
that immediately upon the terms becoming known, parties
were bidding up to 1%, and even 211'; premium. .This is
the usual policy at first, and therefore the subsequent partial
relapse to 134 % premium was to be expected. The allot-
ments, as far as can be ascertained, have not been made in
large amounts, as some of the City bankers have obtained a
good "slice." Consols for transfer to-morrow have ad-
vanced to 90%, and been down again to 90%. For
April 15 the rates have been 91 and 91 VI,
but at present are only 90:1 to 91. Bank Stock is higher,
20-114 to 2051/2, a proof, as we take it, of confidence in the
new operation. Exchequer Bills have been at a decline, to
Bs. and 3s. premium. This is the result of sales to pay the
deposit on the new loan. East India Stock is marked 251.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 93 to 93%.
The Foreign market has been rather flat again, as with
the greater attraction for speculation offered just now by the
British investments, there is very little business doing,
Spanish Five per Cents. are 24%; Chillan, 95; and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 58.4 to
The Railway Share market has been looking buoyant
again, and there is an improvement in the quotations of some
of the old and new lines.

ITiARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The past week's arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, Malt, 4
Beans, and Flour, were on a fair average scale,'but those of all
other articles of home produce were small. The receipts of
grain from Ireland and Scotland were trifling. From abroad
we received a limited supply of Wheat and Flour; but that
of Barley, Oats, and Beans was somewhat extensive.
Coastwise, a moderate supply of Wheat reached us from
Essex and Kent. By land carriage and sample the quantity
was by no means large. On the whole the stands were to-
lerably well filled with parcels of both red and
white in good condition. Several buyers being in
attendance from France, considerable firmness was
manifested on the part of the holders, and about
one thousand quarters of Kentish Wheat were sold for that
country, at prices rather above those obtained on Monday
last. However, as the Essex qualities were in by no means
active request, and as a total clearance was not effected, we
may call the English Wheat trade steady, at last Monday's
currencies. The quantity of Foreign W heat- on show was
small, nevertheless, the transactions in that article were only
to a moderate extent, at unaltered currencies. We had a
large show of English and Foreign Barley, which
met a very dull inquiry, at a reduction in value
of from is to 2s per quarter. Superfine White
Malt moved off slowly, at late rates; but all other
kinds might have been purchased at a reduction of
quite is per quarter. The total supply of Oats being more
than adequate to meet the wants of the dealers, the trade
was dull, and prices were 6d to is per quarter lower than on
this day se'nnight. In Beans next to nothing was done,
and the quotations receded Is per quarter. All kinds of Peas
were heavy, and the turn lower than last week. In Flour,
either sack or barrelled, very few sales were concluded. In
prices we have no alteration to notice. Several cargoes of
Indian Corn were sold at very full rates. .

At the outports, 100 beasts, 200 sheep, and 10 calves have
been landed, mostly from Rotterdam. The supply of foreign
stock offering consisted of 120 Oxen and Cows, 180 Sheep,
and 5 Calves. The general quality being tolerably good,
nearly the whole found buyers, at fully last week's quota-
tions. With Beasts, from our own grazing districts, we
were, the time of year considered, well supplied, there being
1,000 head more on sale than at the corresponding market-
day in 1846. Although the weather continues cold, the
Beef trade, arising principally from the dead markets being
rather heavily stocked with the past week's arrivals from
Scotland and the north of England, was in a very sluggish
state, at the decline in the quotations noticed on Monday last,
the highest rate for the best Scots not exceeding 4s 2d per
Slbs. There were some remarkably prime Downs, Scots, and
runts offering, but the general condition of the bullock supply, as
to weight and condition, was by no means equal to that ex-
hibited on many previous occasions; at the close of business
an advance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
arid Cambridge, we received, mostly by railway, namely,
1,300 Scots, homebreds, and shorthorns; from the northern
counties, 350 shorthorns ; from the western and midland
counties, 800 Devons, runts, Herefords, &c. ; from other
parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland,
by steam-vessel, 180 horned and polled Scots. The number
of sheep was again scanty, owing to which the mutton trade
was firm, at an advance on last week's quotations of 2d per
81b. This amount of improvement was realised for all
breeds. There were about 400 shorn sheep in the market,
chiefly from Lincolnshire. The highest price for the best old
Downs was 5s 2d per 81b. We had about 250 Dorset lambs
on show, but which sold at irregular prices. Calves were in
short supply and ,ready inquiry, at Friday's improvement,
viz., of from 2d to 4d per 81b. Neat small porkers moved off
steadily, other qualities of pork slowly, at unaltered cur
rencies.
