NOTTINGHAM, sth.—There has been a shade more
doing in some descriptions of lace goods during the
past few days. Plain nets continue dull. In the
curtain and fancy branches there is an average
amount of business doing. Lace yarns maintain
their value. In the silk department there is little
or no improvement. Laces and other fabrics sell
slowly, hut future prospects are more cheering.
The market for raw silk is firm, and recent curren-
cies are well maintained. The hoisery trade is
quiet. The demand for the home market is below
an average, and there is not much doing for ship-
ping. There is no change in the price of hosiery
yarns.

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

NV)3DNIISDAY.

Yesterday in the Senate M. de Butenval gave notice
that he should question the new Ministers on the
policy which they proposed to adopt with regard to the
treaties of commerce, whose expiration is more or less
near, on the spirit in which they intended to
prepare the recasting of the general tariff of
customs, on the part played by the superior
council of agriculture and commerce, and on the
results of the agricultural inquiry. M. do Butenval is
favourable to Free Trade, and of course upholds the trea-
ties of commerce. Another question is to be asked by M. Row-
land respecting the religious topics now being discussed
at Rome. The new Ministers are not likely, as you see,
to escape that disagreeable condition of Parliamentary
Government—the interrogatory ordeal in the Chambers.
The Emperor has, according to the Moniteur, written a
flattering letter to M. Magne doing full justice to his long
Ministerial services. Tho ex-Minister of Finanoe did good
service by quitting office no less than by retaining it, since
his withdrawal facilitated the compromise which cut the
Gordian knot. It is suggested, however, by some cynic
that this act on his part was not purely disinterested, but
was dictated by the secret hope that, should M. 011ivier
fail to make a Cabinet, he himself would beoome the poli-
tical hero of the hour. The Siècle calls loudly for an ex-
planation from the organs of the Left Centre of the condi-
tions on which MM. Buffet sad Daru accepted office.
Tho statements of the Peuple Francais (to which
I have previously referred, certainly appear to demand
some explanation, but as yet the Journal des Debats, the
Journal de Paris, the Libtrte, the Presse, the ifoniteur, and
the Francais, are silent on the point. The dissolution of
the Chamber, which the leading members of the Loft
Centre wore formerly so active in demanding, is the great
point at issue. As several of the democratic journals have
already observed,it is idle to talk of electoral and municipal
reform while the official majority is accepted as fairly
representing the people.
A sreeoli recently made by our new Minister of
Finance at an industrial mee'ing at St. Dizier,
is being read with interest. Ho was received with great
cordiality, and after thanking the audience for the
warmth of their welcome, said that he believed
it to be partly duo to the political opinions
of himself and his colleague, who was present.
We are endeavouring, he said, to give France
institutions really Liberal and Conservative, Conservative
because they are Liberal—to found order by liberty,
an order no longer dependent exclusively on one will
whether well or ill directed, but resulting from the agree-
ment of the wishes of a whole people capable of regulating
its own destinies. France has already attempted this
noble enterprise, and failed, but to-day, said M. Buffet, I
have good hope. We understand better the practical part
of liberty. Until lately it was but a speculative idea.
After a passage referring to the useless debates in the
Chambers, M. Buffet declared that the truth was now
generally recognised that political guarantees were a
necessary condition of the security of labour,
a sentiment which was loudly applauded. In the
circumscription which he himself represented they
said to him lately that it was true they had
material order, but its benefits were forfeited by per-
petual uncertainty. One evening they could not tell
what would happen the next day. Their industry
flourished under a protective system. They woke one
morning and found they wore under a different regime
without a movement on their part. We go to sleep,
they said, in peace, but we are not suro
that we shall not wake to-morrow at war !
Cries of " C'est 'erai, " Trig lien" resounded
shewing that the orator was giving expression to the
general feeling. He concluded by declaring that the
great interests of the country all required a broad and safe
road, whose direction should not be altered without the
consent of their representatives. France, enlightened by
experience of the perils alike of absolute power and of
licence must no longer be tossed between these two
dangers. She will succeed at last in gaining true liberty,
that is to say, the governor out of the country by the
country.
The Temp alludes to the dismissal of M. Hausmann,
and says that it was carried out under circumstances which
were very characteristic of the regime just inaugu-
rated. Immediately after the new Ministers had taken
the satire, the Emperor called their attention to the
state of the city of Paris, and expressed a
wish that M. Haussman should hold a provi-
sional appointment. The Cabinet were of opinion
that such a step would not be desirable, and, after con-
sidering the matter, it was decided that M. Hausmann
should be speedily replaced. It is said that the decision
was a unanimous one. The dismissal of the Prefect of
the Seine has thus been the first work of the new Cabinet,
And its first manifestation of the independent spirit it
intends to display towards the Crown. Regarded in this
light the affairs of M. Haussmann assume considerable
importance and still more when it is remembered that
this high functionary was himself a representative of molt
Absolute authority. During his long dictatorship of
Parisian interests he always boasted that he was the
faithful executor of the wishes of a superior judgment.

The prosecution of the Rappel is an unfortunate affair.
Et has been instituted on account of some articles on
military affairs. The Rappel declares that the articles in
question have been reprinted, for that they appeared first
during the Forcade Administration. This statement was
looked upon as unfavourable to the new Government ; but
the Liberty announces that the prosecutions of the Rapped
were determined upon before the formation of the present
Cabinet, which was entirely ignorant of them.
MM. Bozorain and Lachaud have been to La Roquette in
order to confer with Troppmann. The question of the
rcomplices occasions great anxiety to the two counsel,
And it is supposed that Troppmann may have
!lade some more confessions. Ile asked to speak in private
with M. Lachaud, and the persons who were in the cell at
the time were kept at a • distance. Troppmann gladly
seizes every opportunity to write, because by that means
he can get rid of the strait waistcoat.
The question of associating the Prince Imperial with the
Empire has been again discussed at the.Tuileries, and the
Emperor seemed less inclined to favour the proposal than
on a former occasion. He said that it was desirable, before
coming to any decision on the point, that they should_
