despotic acts of the terrible reign of the Narvaez
Government.

A new Siamese mission, composed of three per-
sons, has arrived in France, and the threegentlemen,
rolled into one, are daily expected in Paris. Some
of the papers seem to attach much importance to
what may be expected from this mission, and con-
sider that the Siamese trinity may rival in interest
the Siamese twins.

The important debate upon the Senatus Consulte,
modifying the Constitution under the conditions
proposed by the late decree of the Emperor, com-
menced yesterday. The chief speakers were the
Duke de Persigny, Baron Charles Dupin, and M.
Rouland. There was nothing sufficiently important
in these addresses to require further analysis than
that sent by telegraph They are, however, given
so voluminously iu the Paris papers as to exclude all
miscellaneous news.

The weather has been of three or four kinds to-
day—everything by turns and nothing long. Dur-
ing the morning the temperature was agreeable and
spring-like. Then the wind turned to the opposite
point of the compass, and it blew bitterly and vio-
lently. The next change was to rather heavy rain,
which at the hour of post seemed likely to continue.
The Observatory records indicate unsettled and
stormy weather. _

The English steamer Kinsale, which has arrived
at Havre, met a small boat near Barfleur, contain-
ing three men and a boy who had escaped from the
wreck of an English sloop. They were in a terrible
state, and almost dead from cold, They had been
three days at sea in the boat. Every possible com-
fort and assistance was given to them by the autho-
rities at Havre. The name of the English sloop is
not mentioned.

Monseigneur Dupanloup has returned to Paris
from Nice, where the illustrious prelate has been
stopping► some time for the benefit of his health.
According to the Bavarian Gazette a military
conference will take place at latest by the Ist of
October at Munich, between Bavaria, Wurtemberg,
Baden, and Hesse, to make a final arrangement re-
specting the common military regulations between
those States, which were agreed to at the late
Stuttgard Conference.
M. Philarete Chasles, the erudite and indefatigable
chief librarian of the Bibliotheque Mazarine at the
Institute of France, who has made various valuable
literary discoveries, has now found a volume which
must be considered of peculiar importance. On the
title page is the name " William Shakespeare,"
written thus with his own hand by the great poet.
Another curious work has been discovered by M.
Philarete Chasles--a kind of squib, with illustra-
tions, written by Sir John Harrington, a friend of
Shakespeare, in the time of Queen Elizabeth. He
records that in the Courtyard of the Palace of
that Queen were vessels for the reception of filth,
and he advised her Majesty, in the interest both
of health and propriety, to substitute a system of
water-closets. The Queen was so ill-pleased with
the recommendation that she disgraced and banished
the author of the book, and ordered all the copies of
it to be destroyed. The copy now alluded to is
perhaps the only one which is at present in exist-
ence. It may, I believe, be seen at the Mazarine
Library of the Institute, so ably and courteously
directed by M. Chasles.
Letters from Rome speak positively of a pro-
posed erection of new Cardinals. The most pro-
minent among the names of the new Cardinals
suggested are those of M. Ferrari, Minister of
Finance, and Mons. Chigi, now Apostolical
Nuncio at Paris. In the latter case M. Chigi
will be succeeded at Paris by M. Franchi, Secretary
of the Ecclesiastical Congregation.
The Patrie of this evening announces further
elections of Ministerial candidates in Italy.
M. and Madame Benedetti have just arrived in
Paris from Berlin, in consequence of the serious in-
disposition of the Marchioness de la Valette, the
wife of the Minister of the Interior. M. and
Madame Benedetti are closely connected with the

The Bourse has been rather more animated to-
day, with a tendency to advance ; but I am not
aware of any particular news to excite speculation.
