PARIS, TUESDAY.
The Moniteur publishes the official returns of
the gross receipts of the French railways for the
first nine months of the present year, which
amounted to 204,121,074 fr., being an increase of
13,823,891 fr. on the corresponding period of 1855.
The Moniteur publishes a long extract from a
document recently published by the directing Se-
nate of Russia, regulating the different lighthouses
in the Baltic, the Gulf of Finland, and the Gulf of
Riga, and givity, a description of the different
lights whether fixed or revolving, as well as the
hours of lighting and other details interesting to
navigators.

A letter front Constaitinople, in the Gazette du
Midi, says :--"The Persian Ambassador Ferroukh -
Khan brings to the Emperor of the Freich the
decoration of the order of the Sun of the Lion,
worth 100,000 f.; to the Empress Eugenie pearls
and precious stones, worth 80,000 f.; and to Prince
Napoleon a sabre richly set with precious stones,
of the value of 60,000 f. He is also the bearer of
five decorations, one of which is intended for Count
Walewski."

" A series of experiments," says the iToniteur de
la Flotte, "have just been made, having for ol►ject
to test the qualities of a now kind of gunboat, spe-
cially intended for the defence of the banks of the
Danube. These boats are flat-bottomed, are moved
by oars, and carry guns of very large calibre. They
manoeuvre with extreme rapidity. The experi-
ments took place near Friebad, and were perfectly
successful."

The following letter, with a subscription of
500 f., has been addressed to M. Mania

"Master and Brother,—Until such time as, ungagged
and unimpeded, the noumans can speak and act, their
children, students in Paris, have charged me to deposit
in your hands, as an earnest of the future, their sub-
scription for the cannon of Alessardria. Yes, as an
earnest, for, united as we are to Italy by the bonds of
love and hatred, we, Rournans of the Danube, shall
never forget that we have the same enemy to beat down
and the same cruntry to raise up. Piedmont has de-
fended us on the field of diplomacy : it is our duty to
thank her on the field of victory.
"Your devoted servant,
"C. A. ROSETTI, ex-liember of the Provisional
Govern went of Wa lachia in 1848.
"Paris, November 1."

The Siecle publishes a statement, which, if cor-
rect, is of importance. After describing the de-
cided refusal of Lord Palmerston to enter into any
transactions which had not for basis the complete
execution of the treaty of Paris, that journal says
" It has nevertheless been recognised on both
sides that no better alliance can exist for England
than that of France, and for France no more fruit-
ful alliance than that of England ; the discussion
lon the execution of the treaty of the 30th of March
has therefore ceased. If we are well informed
despatches were sent off on the 31st October,
which will remove all the partial difficulties that
exist, which have moreover proceeded rather from
subordinates than the governments themselves.
The treaty of the 39th March will be executed in
all its rigour, and afterwards if Russia or any other
government wishes to submit questions to the con-
gress of Paris, the congress will examine them with
that spirit of progress beyond the range of which it
is now impossible to effect anything in Europe that
is destined to last."
