Lecomte was brought back to the Conciergerie, the prison
of the Luxembourg not being yet completed, notwithstand-
ing the exertions of the operatives, who labour night and
day. It is believed, however, that the prison will be ready
for his reception to-morrow. Lecomte affects a tranquillity
which his features belie, whilst, on the contrary, he appears
to be internally agitated in no small degree. The gun with
which the crime was effected was likewise brought to Paris
yesterday. Lecomte, in the examination which he under-
went at Fontainbleau,is said to have exhibited a degree of de-
jection, which is not in accordance with the energetic character
attributed to him. It is now certain that Lecomte, a sports-
man by profession, when committing the crime did not use
his own gun, which was found at his lodgings. He procured
the gun, which he tired on the day of the crime, by means
which will be revealed during the course of the trial."

The Journal de Tou'ouse, of the 18th, subjoins the follow-
ing to the publication of the telegraphic dispatch, dated
Paris, April 17th, announcing the attempt of the previona
day :

" The following fact, which appeared at first as insignifi-
cant, acquires some importance in consequence of the at-
tempt mentioned in the foregoing telegraphic dispatch.
An elevated functionary of our City received three days
since a letter dated Pari;, the 17th of April, and signed with
a fictitious name. In this letter the death of the King was
announced."

LordPacailiatsrox has recived an autograph letter from the
KING, in reply to the one he had addressed to his MAJESTY on
the occasion of the attempt of I. ECOMTE. His Lordship on
Wednesday presided over a meeting of the English resi-
dents in Paris, assembled for the purpose of drawing up
an address to the Kura, on his escape. The meeting,
which was very fully attended, was held at Lawson's Hotel.
IBRAHIM PACH.I was expected in Paris on Friday. He
will reside in the Elyshe Bourbon, and during his
stay there will give a series of reviews, on a large scale,
The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, appointed to
examine the Bill for extending the law relating to foreign
refugees, bare made their report, which gives numerous sta-
tistical details as to the number and state of the refugees at
present in France. The Committee adds, that it availed it-
self of the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs to de-
mand some explanations relative to the occupation of tin
free town of Cracow by the troops of Austria, Fruoil §, And
Russia. The Minister replied that he was assured the ck:-
cupation was merely a military measure induced by neces-
sity, and that it would cease with the necessity which gave
rise to it.

The Epoque, the Ministerial paper, publishes a long ac-
count of a conspiracy which had been discovered in Greece,
to dethrone King Onto, and assassinate Comm, which
conspiracy it attributes to the machinations of Russia. The
conspiracy was to have broken out, according to the Epoque,
which probably speaks from the inspiration of M. PISCATORY,
on the 6th of April. As to the reliance which is to be
placed on this story, we leave our readers to judge when
they shall have perused the following extract from the arti-
cle in question :

" This Government was informed of all that was preparing,
but, having no proof, it could not proceed against the con-
spirators."

The Funds remained stationary en the Paris Bourse on Wednes-
day, and but little business was transacted.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

prove, and a good business was done.
The sale of Railway Shares by Messrs. Wickham was well
attended yesterday, and very good prices were obtained,

There has been an arrival from Hobart Town, with ad-
vices of January 10. The colony was still annoyed in par-
ticular districts, Prosser's Plain's, for instance, with small
bands of bushrangers, but we are glad to find that the police
were more on the alert, and that captures were more frequent.
The war steamer Driver had arrived, en route for New Zea-
land.
The Stock Market has not undergone much variation, and
the quotations are maintained at the advance of yesterday
afternoon. Consols realise 96 to 96% for present transfer,
and 964 to 98% for time. The premium on Exchequer-
bills has been up to 255. and 275., and money is certainly
easier already on account of the Railway Relief Bill. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 96% to 97%.
Bank Stock is steady, at 2042 to 205.
The Foreign Stock Market, has been very quiescent.
Spanish Three per Cents. have been 36% t 0.36% ; Brazil
Stock is marked 81 to 82; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 59%.
The Share Market has been very firm. The new and old
lines are all likely to benefit, it is thought, by the " weed-
ing," and are certainly much more buoyant this week.
