ito evils are curable by some sudden process, some
dissevering and boiling-up again. Nature meanwhile,
heals gently, quietly, and will have time to do it in.'
Be it so. Let our social disorders take time to be
gradually and effectually remedied, but let that
remedy be entered upon at once. Here, Mr. Coca-
BANE, and here, Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, is a wider
field for exertion, and one in which more true cele-
brity is to be attained, than in that which you have
so unwittingly selected.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The elections were proceeding quietly. The poll
was not to be closed until midnight last night, there-
fore the results are as yet unknown.
The Provisional Government has published a
decree ordering the abolition of Colonial slavery
within two months.
The Provisional Government has determined the
compensation to be given to the owners of dispossessed
railways. The shares are valued at the average price
they were previous to the revolution. The compen-
sation is to be paid in five per cent. stock similarly
valued.
Some serious disturbances have taken place at
Nantes, in consequence of an attempt made by the
Government Commissioner, to prevent the electors
from voting for any but his own list of candidates. It
appears that the Commissioner got his own list
printed and circulated, and then gave orders that the
printing establishments should all be closed up, and
that no other lists should be printed. This extraor-
dinary measure he enforced by placing a guard over
each establishment. The consequence was a serious
riot. The National Guard was called out, but it fra-
ternized with the people, and the result was that the
Commissioner, to save his life, was obliged to leave
the town precipitately and return to Paris.

BOURSE—Penis, MONDAY, APRIL 24.
THREE O'CLOCK.—The distinguishing feature of the
day's business was a very decided advance in Railway
Shares. They were in demand from the beginning of the
market, and continued to advance to the end. Rouen
have risen not less than 651., closing at 375 f.; Havre 27t.
50c., at 200 f.; Northern, 231. 50c., at 3601.; Marseilles,
15E, at 210%; Versailles (Right Bank), 15f., at 120 f.;
Orleans, Strasburgh. and Nantes, 101. each, at 510 f.,
355 f., and 3451. ; Vierz,w, 12f. 50c., at 2421. 50c.,
Bordeaux and Lyons, 71. 50c., at 4001., and 318 f.
7 5c.; Bale, 5f., at 85f. The cause of this very decided
improvement was said to be the intention of the Govern-
ment to take the prices of the various lines on some day
before the revolution, as the basis of the expropriation
by the State. The Frtnch Funds by no means partici•
pated in the advance of railway stock. The Five per
Cents, are 50c. lower, closing at 60f. 75c., whilst the
Three per Cents. have risen 25c., closing at 40f. 75c.
Bank of France shares are 301. better, closing at 1,2001.;
Belgian Fives (1840) are unchanged, at 611t.1 Obliga-
tions de la Ville are 101. higher, at 1201.; French gold
is dearer to-day, the price being 35f. The charge for
obtaining I,ooof. is 7f. The changers at present re
fuse to take English sovereigns, declaring that they
have a tremendous quantity, and that there is no demand
for them.
