PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

The necessity for a speedy dissolution of the Corps
Legislatif is being discussed in several journals. The Fresse,
the Temps, the Avenir National, and the L'Electrur Libre,
are unanimous on the point, and they are supported,
strange to say, by the France itself, the organ of M.
Rouher. This would seem to indicate the truth of the
reports of the sudden conversion to Liberalism of the
ex Minister and still reigning favourite. The Siecle
esteems the dissolution so imperative that it considers the
maintenance of the Chambers in statu quo as a reason
for doubting the sincerity of the Government. The Corps
Legislatif is, it remarks, to-day the product of a system
condemned by the Government itself, and it is useless to
think of reforming it.
There has been some talk about the letters which the
Princess Mathilde sent to M. Sainte Beuve, and which she
is very anxious should be returned to her. She will probably
receive them when the seals are broken. Prince Napoleon
has also sent some letters, but he has given his permission
that they may be published, provided the testamentary
executors give him notice of the same.

The Nord gives some details concerning the state of the
Empress Charlotte, who is still staying in the Chilteau de
Tervueren. She is closely watched because she has
sometimes tried to escape, but the confinement irritates
her. She spends a great part of her time in sending
telegrams to different places to complain of her captivity.
Her condition is indeed a deplorable one, and she is
haunted by the idea that people want to poison her.
It was reported that M. Henri Rochefort had ar-
rived in Paris. but his friends are not aware of his inten-
tions, and his movements seem quite uncertain.
The Gauloie of this morning say the Emperor,
on hearing of the arrest of M. Rochefort, expressed
himself in the following manner :

" M. Rochefort is to be allowe I full freedom to

urge his candi lature. Although an irreconeili tble
candidate opposed to myself, I wish that he should
enjoy the immunity of a Representative."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7iis Day.

31ARLDOILOUGH STREET.

CAUTION TO HORSEKEEPERS.—Thomas Pollard, a car-
man in the employ of the Midland Railway Company, was
charged before Knox, by the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelty to a horse, by working
it in an unfit state.

Dobie, officer of the society, saw the defendant driving a
pair of horses attached to a van heavily laden with crates,
and noticing that ono of the horses was staggering on its
toes ho examined it, and found the near hind leg in a state
of disease—matter dropping from it. On speaking to the
defendant he said he could not help it, and that if ho did
not take the horse out some one else would.

Mr. Cherry said the horse was suffering from a disease
culled "grease," and in great pain.

Mr. Ralph, agent to the Midland Railway Company,
said he was not aware the horse was sent out. It was not
the wish of the company that horses should be sent out
in an unfit state, and he would take care nothing of the
kind occurred again.
Mr. Knox said he did not think he had ever had a case
against the Midland Railway Company before.

Mr. Cherry E aid he only Lew of one case against them
—at Bow-street.

Mr. Knox said he must inflict a fine by way of caution.
It would be 10s. or 14 days, and half a guinea costs to the
veterinary surgeon.

THAIIES.

Tim DUTCH BUTTER FACTORY.—Frederick Lavender
and Georgo Lavender, brothers, and Richd. Brown, young
men described as labourers, wore brought before Mr. Paget
charged with breaking into the refined tallow factory of
John and Wm. Goldbloed and Co., Glaucus- street, Bow-
common, and stealing 61 stones of suet, valued at £lO.

Brown was in custody last Monday and discharged. He
was again arrested yesterday with the Lavenders by How-
lett and Furze, detective officers, who called several wit-
nesses to prove that the factory was broken into on Sa-
turday afternoon, the 30th ult., and 64 stones of suet taken
away, and placed on a barrow by the prisoners, and an old
man, not in custody. It was also proved that the pri-
soners borrowed a barrow of Mrs. Elizabeth Oliver, of
Glaucus-street, and two sacks, in which the suet was de-
posited on the barrow of John Minor, general carman, of
No. 8, Fern-street, in the same locality. Mr. George
Roberts, carman and storekeeper to the prosecutors
locked up the factory on Saturday afternoon at
six o'clock, and on the same night between eight
and nine o'clock he discovered a hole in the
roof, and 64 stones of suet gone. The suet was in sacks
on a barrow in Weston-street. The suet was worth 3s
per cwt. wholesale. The fat was not melted down for
Dutch butter but for refined tallow. It would not mix
with butter without instant discovery by the appearance,
smell, and taste.

A witness—The Dutch butter factory is at Hackney-
Wick, not at Mes,,rs. Goldbloed's establishment.
Mr. Paget said it was curious that the factory on Bow-
common had the reputation of being a Dutch butter manu-
factory.

Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said a good deal of beef
and mutton suet was mixed with " the real Dorset" and
the "dairy-fed Cambridge," and the pieces of fat would
be easily distinguished in this but ter. English and Dutch
farmers both sold the spurious compound, aLd no doubt
there was plenty of butter sold which the cow never pro-
duced.

Mr. Paget should like to see the stolen suet.
Mr. Roberts said it was a perishable article, and had
been melted down and made into refined tallow.
Mr. Paget—Not Dutch butter ?
Mr. Roberts—No, sir.
A. piece of the suet which had been salted for preser-
vation was produced, and Howlett and Furze said Messrs.
Goldbloed's premises were always called the Dutch butter
factory. The prisoners Frederick Lavender and Brown
were well-known to them, and had been convicted of
felony.

The prisoners were remanded for a week, bail being ac-
cepted for George Lavender.

MARKETS.—This Day.

LIVERPOOL COTTON.
Nov. 6.—Sales probably 10,000 bales. The market
steady.

Prince Poniatowski has gone to Milan to direct
his opera, " Pierre de Medicis," at La Scala. A monu-
ment to the memory of Cherubini has been inaugurated
at the church of Santa Croce, Florence. At the new
Cairo opera-house there is to be a grand "box" for the
ladies of the "establishment" of the Khedive.-31usica
Standard.

LITERARY.—William Cullen Bryant is the latest
story writer announced for the New York Ledger.—Mark
Twain is going to lecture this winter on " Curiosities of
California."

JOURNALIS3I.—A new comic paper, Punch and
Judy, has taken the field, been collared by Punch, and car-
ried before "the beak." Punch alleges that the name is an
infringement of his rights, but the judge did not see it,
so all Punch did for his little brother was to give him
a good advertisement. Judy has adopted an artful
style of advertisement. The back page, sweetly illus-
trated, deludes the public into the belief that there is
something there for them to read and be amused at, and
they find gymnastics, machine-made jewellery, and other
trade announcements enticingly displayed. A comic
sheet, The Chip Basket, edited by a mere boy, the
son of Mr. Silver, has been sent to us from New
York, and it is creditable to so youthful an editor.
Echoes has changed into The Period, which for some time
has been announced, but we have not yet seen a copy.
The Times has a comic habit of announcing births as deaths;
first plunging families into mourning, and then telling
the afflicted to wipe away their tears, for they only moult
to say that a child had been added instead of the mamma
subtracted. The Times must delight in producing revul-
sion of feeling, for the joy at the unexpected death of the
heir-at-law must turn to the point of suicide on learning
that a son and heir had been born. Although occasion-
ally very heavy reading, at times the Times is the most
comic of all papers, though perhaps the home friends of
Mr. Currie, of the Bengal Civil Service, whose wife the
Times announced as having died at Nynee Tal, when it
meant a daughter had been born, may not see it in this
light.--Mr. Joseph L. Shipley, formerly assistant editor of
the Republican (Sp ingfield), but for some years ono of the
ekitorial writers of the Boston Journal, has accepted the
editorial charge of the Scranton Republican, the leading
daily paper in the flourishing city of Scranton, Penn-
sylvania, and will assume the duties of the position almost
immediately.—The Kennebec Journal of Augusta has been
enlarged, and made the largest paper in the State of
Maine.—Rev. Sidney Dean has retired from the Provi-
dence Press Company, of which he has been agent and
treasurer, and from the piper, of which he has been editor.

FRIDAY.
The electoral candidates are still the heroes of the hour,
and electoral meetings are the order of the day. The
delegates who went to London for the express purpose of
learning M. Ledru Rollin's determinaticn about the oath,
have returned bringing with them the answer which
might have been expected. M. Ledru Rollin refutes uncon-
ditionally to take the oath, but allows the electors
to do what theylike in other respects. The Journal de Paris
of last evening states that ho declined altogether the offers
made to him. The general feeling is strongly opposed to
the election of lea cxylidats ins.:2-mentes, that is to say,
cf members who will refuse to take the 'oath; and will
bo consequently disqualified for sitting in the Chamber.
The powers that be are not at all in the habit of taking
hints or being influenced by silent protests, and the people
think with reason that they are far more likely to
do the State good service by returning members who
will take a practical part in the debates and strengthen
the bands of the Opposition. Even M. Louis Thane,
greatly as he desire; the abolition of the oath, thinks that
it would be better to procure it by those means which in
England aro understood by "popular agitation," than
to run the risk of provoking a collision in the streets. It
is no secret that the Ministers are endeavouring to secure
a majority for the opening of the Chambers, and are
professing that they have fulfilled the programme of the
116.
