The Constitutionnel has only the following lines

" We have no need to say that the Royal Speech has no
political signification, that is evident from the first phrase,
which postpones to the usual period of the season the domes-
tic and. foreign affairs. All commentary would therefore be
without object and useless."

The other Opposition papers affect to sneer at it as
an insignificant affair.

The Chamber of Peers met on Monday, and having
appointed a Bureau for the verification of their
powers, proceeded to the Council Chamber to
hear the report of M. LAPLAGNE BARRIS
on the attempted assassination of the KING. The
report more than hints that in the opinion of the
Committee, HENRY is insane, and this opinion receives
confirmation from a statement made in the Echo of
Oran of the Bth, by CHARLES HEN ay, his son, a
soldier serving in Algiers, who, on visiting
his father in February last, found him labour-
ing under strange hallucinations of mind.
The editor of the Echo adds—" An inhabitant of
Oran has told us that he went to Paris three months
ago, taking a letter from CHARLES to his father,
whom he saw several times. He appeared to be in
sane, and so the visitor on his return told CHARLES."

On Tuesday the Chamber of Deputies met, to
organise its nine electoral bureaux. The first party-
fight is the election of the Presidents and Secretaries
of these bureaux. In :the present case, the Minis-
terial candidates were elected in every instance.
It was said that the Prince DE JOINVILLE, after
having terminated the nautical evolutions which he
had been instructed to make in the Mediterranean,
was to sail with the squadron under his command for
the Atlantic, and continue there the naval manoeuvres
necessary for the instruction of the officers and crews
under his command.

The subscription for the distressed nurserymen and
florists, who suffered so greatly by the hail-storm in the
early pert of this month, has been satisfactorily re-
sponded to, and will, we hope, produce a sum from which
efficient relief may be afforded. One of the means which
will prove of eminent use, is the flower show and floral
bazaar, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, on Monday
and Tuesday next, when Royalty will grace the charitable
attendance, and where the Lady Mayoress has most
kindly determined to aid the poor florists by her patron-
age.;:The most eminent among the amateur florists have
promised to send their /plants; and in addition to the
usual attractions of the Gardens, the bands of the Life
Guards and of the Blues will give their enlivening mu-
sic. We hope the Gardens will be crowded, and if the
weather prove propitious, we anticipate a large addition
to the funds for the charitable purpose of the fete.
