CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS,

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Friday Evening.
Nothing has been received from Italy to-day by
telegraph or otherwise of any interest. If the Gari-
baldian insurrection be not extinct in the provinces,
at all events it does not progress. One of the let-
ters from Rome announces the arrival in that city
of two French prelates with some mission from the
Government of France, and adds that they have
had several interviews with the Pope and also with
Cardinal Antonelli. Garibaldi's son, Menotti, is
stated to have traversed the province of Viterbo,
disguised as a priest. He was accompanied to the
frontier by the Deputy Nicotera, who is now at
Naples. Menotti is said to be now in
command of a column of 600 young men
picked up in the province, but it is a regiment
as ragged and as miserable as that of Falstaff, very
few of the men, indeed, having even the distinguish-
ing feature of the red shirt. The number of the
Pontifical troops now encamped in the environs of
Rome is about 8,000. In spite of this force, how-
ever, some of the accounts emanating from the in-
surgents pretend that the idea of their marching
upon Rome is not abandoned.
On looking over the German papers to-day I find
that the organs of M. Bismark are not at all pleased
with the speech of Prince Hohenlohe, the President
of the Council of Bavaria. They consider it as a
first manifestation against the annexation projects
of the Confederation of the North, and per-
haps are not wrong in believing it is intended
as a protest against the annexation to the
Prussian Confederation. It may be remarked
that Prince Hohenlohe represents in Bavaria
the party the least inimical to the policy of M. Bis-
mark, and it therefore assumes a greater degree of
importance. The Democratic party, however, sup-
port the views put forward by the Prince. With-
out pronouncing too decided an opinion upon this
manifestation, it is pretty evident that Bavaria is
not ready to submit blindfold to the aggressive
domination of Prussia. It is a fact of important
significance that the German papers begin to urge
the necessity and urgency of some manifestation on
the part of France against Prussian aggression, with
the view of convincing her that " the victory of
Prussia over Germany is not yet consummated."
According to the gossip of theatrical circles, a
young lady, whose name at least is celebrated, will
shortly make her debut at the Odeon—Mdlle. Elise
Montes, the daughter of Lola Montes, once the
favourite of the ex-King of Bavaria. The eccen-
tricities and doings of Lola Montes are, no doubt,
in the recollection of all.
Foreigners who cannot speak French often come
to grief or difficulty in Paris. This was the case
with a young German who late at night could not
find his way back to his hotel in the Place de la
Bourse. He asked a policeman, who with difficulty
understood that he wanted to go in the direction of
the Bourse, and indicated the way he should go.
The German, however, took a wrong fuming, and
about midnight found himself in the Rue des Mou-
lins, always a deserted spot at that hour. Seeing a
gentleman pass, however, our young German ran
up to him, took his arm, and called out ear-
nestly "La bourse, la bourse." As the word
bourse means purse as well as the Exchange,
the gentleman was alarmed, thinking that the
intention was to rob him, and called out for assist-
ance. The police hastened up, and the supposed
robber was taken into custody. He, however, had
the card of his hotel in his pocket, and satisfactory
information was given there about him, but at first
the more he tried to explain the more were the
suspicions of the police excited.
An interesting religious ceremony took place on
'Wednesday at Chateau du Loir, the glorification of
Mons. Berneux, a native of that town, one of the
martyrs of Coree, who was beheaded there in 1866.
A dozen prelates and about 400 Ecclesiastics were
present. The Archbishop of Tours presided.
Mons. de la Bouillerie, Bishop of Carcassenne, and
formerly a pupil of M. Berneux, pronounced an
affecting allocution. There was a beautiful pro-
cession, and the town was ornamented with flags.
A platform was raised in the square, from which the
bishops pronounced their benediction on the faith-
ful, after which the procession passed the house
where the martyred bishop was born.

An old woman died a few day ago at Carrouges,
near Alencon, whose supposed state of misery
always excited the sympathy and compassion of her
neighbours, who supplied her with food. She oc-
cupied a wretched room, with scarcely an article of
furniture, and slept upon the floor without a bed.
When the authorities searched her room soon after
her death, they found concealed in several parts of
it gold to the amount of 45,600 f.

A woman, named Baylotte Chamarre, has just
died at Auribrail, in the department of the Haute-
Garonne, aged 104. Up to the day of her death
she was in full possession of all her faculties, mental
and bodily. Only a few days previously she walked
to market and back, a distance of about 10 miles.
The dearness of bread is beginning to excite un-
easiness in the provinces as well as in Paris. In
several towns the mayors have issued orders for the
re-establishment of the system of taxing the price
of land, which for some time had been temporarily
suspended.

There is a truce in the stormy and tempestuous
weather. It has been quite cairn to-day, and the
temperature was agreeably warm. It was, however,
very dull, with prospect of rain.
It is stated to-day on good authority that the
Legislative Session will be opened on the 18th of
November.

A remarkable incident has transpired; the truth of
which may be relied upon, connected with the death
of M. Fould. His brother-in-law; M. Furtado, the
banker, was seriously indisposed with gout on
the morning of M. Fottkl's death, and it
was feared that the cliAege yould . attack his
