CORBESFONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRISPONDENT.)
PARIS, Friday Evening.
The latest news from Italy is satisfactory in the
extreme. Tranquillity prevails everywhere, even
in the towns where there was recently some disposi-
tion to insurrection. The Italian Parliament is to
meet on the sth of December next, when it is to be
hoped a solution will be given to many questions
which have led to agitation in Italy. The Chambers
will first take into consideration the manner i❑
which Garibaldi is to be disposed of. The infor-
mation I receive in official quarters is that measures
will be proposed which will effectually prevent him
from again disturbing the tranquility of Italy, and
calculated to arrest dangerous machinations against
the beneficent sway of the Pope.
The Emperor, Empress, and the Imperial Prince
will leave St. Cloud in the early part of December,
and pass the season at the Tuileries, it not being the
intention of the Court to make any stay at Com-
piegne this year.
The beautiful statue representing the dying mo-
ments of the First Napoleon, which was at the Ex-
hibition, and to which I called attention, has been
purchased by the Emperor for 25,000 f., and is now
at the Palace of St. Cloud. It is placed in the grand
vestibule by the side of Sappho, by Pallier. The
statue is by M. Veld, an Italian artist of great emi-
nence, and is decidedly the most admirable produc-
tion of the sculptor's art of modern times.
It is dangerous in Paris, and perhaps everywhere
else, to become too suddenly enchanted with a
young and fascinating girl. Such was the case,
however, a few days ago with a fashionable visitor
to Paris, who met with such an enchantress in
an omnibus. Acquaintance was soon formed,
and an hour afterwards the lady and gentlema❑
were enjoying a good breakfast in the Rue
de Rivoli. At dessert the enchantress made an
excuse to leave her friend for a minute, which like a
Treasury minute, was a very long one. indeed, she
did not come back at all. When the young gallant
was about to pay for the breakfast he discovered
that not only was the lady gone but his purse also.
and he was compelled to leave his watch and chain
with the restaurateur as security for the payment
of the bill. Next evening the visitor went to the
theatre, and among the fair Court ladies in the
ballet he recognised the Leauty with whom he was
so delighted in the omnibus. He wished to go upon
the stage to ask the lady a question or two about
his purse, but this not being permitted, he contented
himself with an application to the Commissary of
Police, who will no doubt procure him a second
interview with the lady, which, it is to be hoped,
may prove a more satisfactory one than the first, at
all events to the gentleman.
The Archduke Louis Victor of Austria has just
left Vienna, with the intention of visiting Spain
and Portugal.

Baron de Hubner, Ambassador from his Imperial
Royal and Apostolical Majesty to the Holy See has
just been replaced in his diplomatic functions by
Count Credelle.

One of the most useful projects of law to be
immediately submitted to the Chambers, will be a
proposal to diminish the expense of telegraphic
communication.

The Journal des Debate, remarking upon the
speech of Lord Derby, draws the conclusion that
the English Government is not favourable to the
occupation of Rome by French troops. In reference
to this all important Roman question the Presse of
Vienna says, that to find a satisfactory solution of
it would be as difficult as to find the quadrature of

the circle, a puzzle to mathematicians for ages.
The Court of Cassation has rejected the appeal
of the butcher, Avinain, who was convicted of two
murders, followed by robbery, of which I gave you
the particulars, so he will, no doubt, be executed
within a short delay.

The Exhibition is now definitively closed. The
resery ed garden, including the aquarium and other
marvels remained open until yesterday, but now all
is over, and but a brief period will elapse before the
whole massive building will be carried away, and
not a fragment will be left. Its fame, how-
ever, will live after it for future generations.

The Prussian Governmmt has given its consent
to
greatthewhich will be of
fthae of the north and
importance construction
foro
west of Germany. This railway, when finished
will in fact give a direct communication between'

Hamburg and Paris, by Bremen, Osnaburg, and
Cologne. It will place in communication with
France the three great ports of Germany, Kiel,

Hamburg, and Bremen, connecting them with the
coal districts of Westphalia.

Palestine is at present the object of minute expla-
nations. One of the most indefatigable discoverers
has just found, beyond all doubt, the synagogue
where Jesus Christ preached at Capharnaum. Very
interesting results have arisen from the French
scientific expedition in the basin of the Dead Sea,
and the valley of Avabab. Among others is the
exact level of the Dead Sea, which is found to be
392 yards lower than the Mediterranean.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7—This Day.

Market opens dull. Prices weak. Sales probably
8,000 bales. Yesterday's prices barely maintained.

During the past few days there has been but
little, in a military point of view, to vary the dull
monotony of camp life at Aldershot. The Lieut.-
Gen. commanding, whose presence is always an in-
dication of activity in the division, is away on
leave, and that distinguished cavalry soldier, Major-
Gen. Hodge, commands during his temporary ab-
sence. But, although field-days are in abeyance,
the division has been exercised by brigades in route-
marching on different days, and has had the advan-
tage of very favourable weather. Nothing can be
more exhilarating to the men, or more cheering to
accidental spectators, than this route-marching,
when the elements do not conspire to render it
uncomfortable. As the troops leave the camp the
air seems literally alive with the music, and as the
men march along they often enliven the way by
singing in full chorus. The infantry drill has under-
gone some alteration and improvement, andprobably
still further changes will be introduced, owing to the
new and destructive weapons now in use. The
Snider rifle has been well tried on field days, but its
merits, when compared with the Chassepot, are in
many quarters still a matter of dispute. It is
asserted that the formation of the troops In firing
had much to do with the success of the Prussians in

the late war, and no doubt this subject will receive
special attention in our army, as it is evident that
the method by which the greatest number of shots
cau be brought to bear must exercise an important
influence in deciding the fate of any future battle.
The cavalry, a 3 well as the infantry, is manoeuvred
with a regard to the improved weapons of the day,
and the artillery, when acting in conjunction with
cavalry, is made to fire against time. The Horse
Artillery and the field batteries have been actively
exercised during the week, and acquitted them-
selves admirably in the Long Valley in all the move-
ments peculiar to that arm of the service.
The chartered transport ship John Scott, Capt.
Stewart, from Auckland, New Zealand, arrived at
the T pier, Woolwich Arsenal, yesterday morning,
having been 116 days at sea. After leaving harbour
the ship was becalmed, and she experienced contrary
winds the whole way from Cape Horn to Asceasion,
where she lay to three days, and bore up against
strong E.N.E. winds coming up Channel. There
were three births and one death during the Voyage,
