MR. J. O'CONNELL IN PARIS.—The soiree was given
last night at the Jardin d'iliver in honour of Mr.
J. O'Connell by the Jeunesse Catholique, but from the
injudicious exclusion of ladies, and the absence of all
proper organization, the display was wholly unworthy
the occasion. The guest of the everting was received
with cries of " Vive O'Connell!" mingled with those of
" Vive la Liberie Religieuse!" and " Vivo Montalem-
bert!" That nobleman was not, however, present, being
prevented from attending by continued illness. A few
words of welcome and compliment were addressed to Mr.
O'Connell on his arrival, to which he returned an ap-
propriate reply; this and a triumphal air from a military
band, completed the reception. The general feeling of
all present was annoyance and regret at the total want
of the necessary arrangements, and the evident incapa-
city of the managers of the affair to carry out what was
doubtless a well meant compliment, but in which the
kindness of the intention was altogether marred by the
mode of the execution.—Galignani s Messenger.
THE BISHOP OF MANCRESTER.—The stipend of
the Bishop of Manchester is the subject of an Order in
Council published in last night's Gazette. It directs
and authorises the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to pay
4,2001. a year to the Bishop of Manchester out of the
funds of the Commission; and in the event of such
funds being insufficient, it directs, in aid of such
funds, the plyment by the Archbishop of Canterbury
and the Bishop of London of 1,0001. each per annum,
and by the Bishop of Durham of a sum not exceeding
5001. per annum; the money so contributed from the
richer sees to go in aid of the fund of the Commission
for the endowment of the new see of Manchester.

EXPRESS TRAIN TO SCOTlA:in.—Arrangements
are being made between the London and the North-
Western, the Caledonian, and the Lancaster and Carlisle

throughout of the Caledonian line. The train will corn•
mence running on the I at of March, starting from Loudon
and Glasgow at nine o'clock in the morning, to reach
each terminus at ten o'clock at night.
LivEuroon, TUESDAY.—The packet-ship Sheridan
arrived yesterday from New York, after a fine passage
of 17 days. She sailed on the 29th ult., and has brought
20,0001. in specie. The packet•ship St. George, which
sailed before the Sheridan, had specie on freight to the
amount of 16,5001.
QUEEN ANNE'S BOUNTY.—The receipts on ac-
count of the governors of Queen Anne's Bounty for the
year 1846 amounted to 206,5021., and the concurrent
disbursements to 217,900/. The amount of first-fruits
due, or in arrear, was 2021, and the amount of yearly
tenths in arrear, 88/. The number of preferments charged

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
lpittur the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosimg hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic "happiness
and social content. The dowry should net he the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice denitauel that health sheuldform au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bliglated hopes or
neglect woend more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, it
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

they arc offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or

ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,

Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor arc they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—ta do unto others as he
would he done unto—tc live atter nature's laws—and to keep always

MONEY-MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 12k per milk, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 1011 per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.46 ; and the exchange at Paris oa London
at short being 25.571, it follows that gold is 0.45 per
cent. dearer in Londoa than in Paris. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce fen
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.101 ; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being
13.12, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer is
London than in HP.raburgh. The course of exchange at
New York on London is 110 per cent., and the par of
exchange between England and America being 109
23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.43 per
cent. in favour of England. But, the quoted exchange
at New York being for bills at 6* days' sight, the in-
terest must be added to the above difference.
