POLISH BALL.—We understand such is the interest
taken in this philanthropic affair, that the total nutn-
bar of tickets sold, up to yesterday afternoon, much
exceeded the number which had been sold previously
to the day of the ball last year. Lord D. Stuart
yesterday received a letter from Lord Holland, dated
Brighton, enclosing 101. for his ticket, declaring that
he forwarded such amount in consequence of the
Times' attacks, adding that, if the name of Lady
Holland and himself could advance the charity, they
were at the service of the Polish Ball Committee.
Lord Pantnure also sent 501. for his ticket.--Morning
Advertiser.

TER SUPERINTENDENT OF THE INDIAN NAVY.—
At a meeting of the Court of Directors of the East
India Company, yesterday, Captain Stephen Lushington,
R.N., now commandieg her Majesty's ship Vengeance,
in the Mediterranean, was appointed to the superintend-
entship of the Indian navy, by the casting vote of the
Chairman.

GLASGOW.---CUOLERA.—Another case of cholera
was reported yesterday afternoon. The name of the
patient is John Campbell, residing in Steele's Land, Port
Dundas. Both the parties reported in yesterday's im-
pression as having been seized, we regret to state, have
sines died. Morton, residing in Graeme-street, died yes-
terday morning at four o'clock; and the other patient,
John Gordon, residing at Burnbank, lingered on till the
afternoon, when he expired.—North British Mail.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The re-election of M. MAREAST to the Presidency
of the Assembly by such a large majority has rather
damped the hopes of the supporters of Prince Lours
NAPOLEON, who now admit that , General CA-
VAIGNAC will probably have a majority in the towns,
but who still contend that as Prince Lours NAPO
LEON depends upon the rural population, that is to
say upon the ignorant, the credulous, the supersti-
tious, and the uneducated, he will still have a majo
jority. We are glad to find that the matter is brought
to this issue, and that 19y the admission of Prince
LOUIS NAPOLEON'S own :supporters, he is to be con-
sidered as the candidate of the unlettered boors, CA-
vAromAc the candidate of the educated citizens.
There is a schism in the club of the Rue de Poitiers
on the subject ; many of its members intend support-
ing General CAVAJONAC.

The National Assembly, in its sitting of Tuesday,
passed a vote re-establishing the five professorbhips in
the College of France which were suppressed in the
first days of the revolution by the Provisional Go-
vernment, and a grant was added for the payment of
the past due salaries:

The Monitel r publishes a decree postponing the
elections for the departments of Calvados, Yonne,
Corsica, the Moselle, Charente Inferieure, and Tarn,
from the 19th to the 26th instant.

The Constitutionnel says that the Lord Mayor of
London declined the invitation sent to him by the
Prefect of the Seine to attend the fifes of the Con-
stitution. The Lord Mayor, in his answer to the in-
vitation, says that, having been only for a few days
installed in office, he cannot quit London at the pre-
sent moment, but that he hopes to be more fortunate
on a future occasion.

PARIS BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, Nov. 15.
THREE O'CLOCK.—The Bourse was steady to-day, but
the business done was not extensive. There was no
news of any kind afloat. To-day an even bet of 10,000
francs was offered and taken that Louis Napoleon should
have the absolute majority of the whole of the votes
given at the approaching election. The election, in fact,
appeared to occupy the people at the Bourse more than
the ordinary business. For the Account, the French
Three per Ct nts. have risen 15c.; Five per Cents. have
risen 30c.; and the Loan 15c. For Money, the Three
