(PROli OUR OtN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, FRIDAY, July 23.
There is very little political news to-day, simply
because the political world has disappeared. Very few
deputies now remain in Paris. M. Raspail, indeed, still
haunts the chamber of the Corps Ltislatif, still makes
his silent protest against the tyranny which shut up the
French Parliament in such an untimely manner; but I
suppose that even he will not continue to shake his fist
at the empty President's chair until it is filled again.
There is nothing to be done now but to wait till the
Senate gets to work upon the Emperor's concessions.
The unhappy Left has gone off without accomplishing
Anything. At the last meeting of this able but far from
united party it was again proposed to get up a manifesto
of some kind, but the general opinion was that the time
had passed. M. Picard said that any manifesto now
would be like mustard after dinner. The meeting broke
op without accomplishing anything. The various
deputies have finally decided to address individual
accounts to their constituencies.
The Radical constituencies and the Radical papers make
no secret of their dissatisfaction at this failure of the Left
to get the Empire into hot water. They have betrayed
their trust ; they aro incompetent ; they are in league
with the Empire ; they have got into the

Chamber only for the sake of the £4OO a year,
hick is the salary of the Fiends deputy : such are some
of the cries now uttered by the Extremes. The Rjreil and
he Rappel both express their discontent. The latter
journal says that the country relied on the Left. It was
the representation of a powerful national will, which
found expression in spite of all the savage opposition of
the Government. It was the soul of France, yet it has
so far done nothing. Several isolated deputies have made
an attack up the majority. Dance], Raspail, and others
have delivered withering speeches. But what we complain
uf, says the Rappel, is the want of a general movemen t on the
part of the Left—a united attack upon despotism. Nothing
of this kind has been done. Several proposals have been
made, but the party would rally round none of them. The
Rappel charges M. Picard in particular with being the
cause of this want of unity.
It is not difficult to divine what this goading will lead to.
When the Chamber meets again, the Left, at all hazards,
will do something to gratify its enraged supporters, and
in all probability that something will be of a violent cha-
racter. Every movement of these Radicals is carefully
watched. Your constituencies do not trouble their repre-
sentatives much when they are once elected ; here there
are committees in all the Red circumscriptions who apply
the spur and lash without ceasing.

The Temps to-day reads its London namesake, the
Tints, a severe lesson on its ignorance of French politics.
The English press, it says, is decidedly the first in the
world, and the incompetency of its leading representative
on French matters is a striking proof of the great diffi-
culty which people experience in fairly judging of foreign
questions.

A melancholy example of the ills which too commonly
await young ladies who unwarily marry strangers is fur-
nished by a cult for judicial separation—the only form of
divorce tolerated in France—now being heard here. The
plaintiff in this case is one of the daughters of Mr.
Perkins, of the well-known brewing firm, Barclay,
Perkins, and Co. Some time ago Miss Irene Perkins was
staying at Nice for the benefit of her health. Unfortunately
a M. Aurelian Scholl, a contributor to the lively Paris
journal, Le Figaro, was staying there too. Miss Perkins's
landlady discovered that her boarder was of a wealthy
family, and being acquainted with M. Scholl, she informed
him that though writing for Le Figaro was all very well,
yet there was a chance of doing much better. A bargain
was no doubt struck between this amiable lady and M.
SchDll. The latter was to lay siege to Miss Perkins, and
if he succeeded, the disinterested landlady was to receiVe
certain bonus. He did succeed. After a lengthy
courtship Miss Perkins and M. Scholl were
married ; but as. Mr. Perkins had no great
faith in Paris journalists, his daughter's portion,
£2,000 a year, was settled upon her, and in such a way
that M. Scholl could touch only half of it. The gifted
contributor to Le Figaro was indignant. Had he married
for this? kind he given up Le Figaro and conferred upon
an Englishwoman the honour of his peerless, penniless self
for a paltry £l,OOO a year? He tried to upset the
sttticment immediately after the honeymoon; but his
wife, now too well enlightened, refused to alter
the arrangement. Whereupon M. Scholl com-
tnemed a course of brutal ill-treatment and insult, and
hence the suit. The court has derided that Madame
Scholl has made ont a case of cruelty, and has appointed a
delegate to inquire into the accuracy of her allegations.
It is worthy of note that few journals have published
anything like a complete report of this case. M. Scholl
was desirous to hush it up, and, to the discredit of French
journalism, be has succeeded to a great extent. It is true
that a good deal of the detail is not fit for publica-
tion. Mr. Perkins's daughter grounds her demand
for separation on eighteen charges of cruelty and
insult. Some of these the court bas pronounced
trivial; ethers it decides do, if they can be proved,
amount to cruelly, and it is to decide whether these
abominable offences were really committed that the
delegate has been appointed. These worst charges
certainly could not have been inserted in any respectable
paper ; but the press might have given such an outline of
the case as would have informed the world of M. Scholl's
true character. It is astonishing that the papers should
suppress such a case simply because this wretch scribble
nonsense in Le Figaro some time ago, and is, therefore. a
brother journalist.
A great scandal has arisen out of the subscription foe
the last City of Paris Loan. It has been discovered that a
large number of forged bonds were sold on the Bourse, and
inquiries have revealed that these false titles were printed
by an official press which had been in some way taken
from the Hotel de Ville. Who did it? is the question.
M. de Leesseps has a new scheme in contemplation. He
agrees with certain saran., that the desert of Sahara was
originally an inland sea. He has been examining the
ground, and finds that it is much below the level of the
Red Sea, and that, by connecting the two with a canal,
seventy-five miles long, an inland ocean might be created,
and thus the internal wonders of Africa might be readily
revealed.

A boiler explosion occurred onThursday atTalk o' th,
causing at, death of one man and serious injury to
another.

The case of Benjamin Higgs was before the Bank-
ruptcy Court yesterday on a matter of no very great import-
ance—a dispute about the possession of some papers belong-
ing to the bankrupt.
Before the select committee on the new site for
the Law Courts, Mr. Young, one of the Royal Commis-
sioners, advocated the Carey-street site, as being superior in
the qualities of light and air.

The Nottingham Express received information at a
late hour on Thursday that the petition against Mr. Seely's
return had been withdrawn— or rather, tbat the order to
withdraw it had been forwarded to London.

At the Stafford assizes yesterday, Samuel Foulks,
late clerk to the registrar of the Wolverhampton County
Court, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude for em-
Lezzling £1,600, fees and cash received from suitors.

On Thursday Bishop Goss, of Liverpool, in a speech
at the opening of the boys' refuge and night asylum, in that
town, asserted that the Roman Catholics were the most tole-
rant people in this country. They never refused either
charity or employment on the ground of religion.

Yesterday a review and field-day was held in
Hyde Park, in the presence of the Field-Marshal Command-
ing in• Chief, many members of both Houses of the Legisla-
ture, and a largo number of spectators. About 1,200 men
of all ranks were on the ground.

The Wicklow peerage claim was before the Com-
mittee of Privileges of the House of Lords yesterday,
and evidence was taken on behalf of the petitioner's infant.
The Lord Primate of Ireland gave evidence, hut not con-
clusive as bearing on the case.

The Weekly Register is enabled to state on the very
best authority from Paris that the occupation of Rome will
not cease. No matter what may bo the changes of Govern-
ment in France, the Emperor is determined to support the
temporal power of the Pope. The incoming of a Liberal
Government will make no difference in this policy.
Mr. Grenville Murray has written a letter to the
Paris Figaro defending the Queen's Messenger, which he says
among other things, " combats the system cf hereditary
peers—which permits GO youths, scarcely left college, to seat
themselves in the Upper House, and to annul the decisions
of the representatives of the people."
The Jewish Record cf Friday says that the Synod
of Jewish 'Rabbis, which has just been held, has recognised
three new principles— I, ir.d:v:dttal authority in religiousmat-

and 3, the rejection of tic Lelia in Israel's restoration. The
synod also recommends choral cervices and the use of the
organ in the synagogue, and musical performances on Sab-
baths and festivals.

Two Irish livings have just become vacant—the

about £2OO a year, and 13 in the gift of the Bishop of
Ossory ; the second, wroth £3OO a year, is in the gift of the
Archbishop of Armagh. Both these benefices will, of course,
