CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDEN r.)
PARIS, Tuesday Evening.
By the Constitution of the Kingdom of Italy it
is necessary, as is the case in England, that depu-
ties who take office shall undergo the ordeal of a
new election. All the members of the new Italian
Cabinet have been chosen again without opposition.
M. Rattazzi, the President of the Cabinet, has been
returned again for. Alexandrie. The Minister of
Finance, M. Ferrara, has be:n returned again
for Salo, M. Pescetto for Savona, M. Berti
for Vittorio, M. Chaves for Acqui, and AI. Broglio

for Bassitno.
The King and Queen of Saxony are for the pre-
sent living in great privacy at Jaxthausen, a crown
domain on the route to Leipzic, having with them
only an aide-de-camp and a lady of honour.
At the moment when the difficulty arose respect-
ing Luxembourg a vast number of the working
classes of Paris evinced their anxious desire for the
maintenance of peace. A great many addresses,
numerously signed, were forwarded to Germany,
embodying a strong desire for peace and fraternity
with the German people. At first the presumed
hostile feeling of Prussia prevented any marked re-
ciprocity of sentiment in answer to these addresses ;
but now that the pacific feeling of the Cabinet of
Berlin seems to be a matter of certainty, addresses
from the German people have been received in Paris
expressive of the same sentiments as those which
animate the Parisian working classes. As a speci-
men of their views I may cite an address just sent
frOm Paris by the co-operative societies of this city
to the working mechanics of Berlin. The address
is signed by more than 1,500 persons, among whom
are many German artizans settled in Paris. It calls
the working-men of Berlin " brothers and friends,"
and proceeds to say---" Let our German brothers be
well convinced we all wish for peace, we all hate
war, we all consider that a common struggle of
nations for Liberty against the enemies of Liberty
is the only contest worthy of us. Like
you, we protest against might oppressing
right. We repdiate all idea of conquest and terri-
torial aggrandisement. We wish the will of nations
to be respected like the will of citizens. Like you,
we desire that States may be governed -by public
opinion only, and that a spirit of fraternity alone
uiayanimate the relations of onepeople with another.
" They who speak to you of our ambition deceive
you. We are your friends. They who seek to
excite us to hostility are our common enemies. If
the blood of the two peoples should be shed upon
the field of battle, it will be in spite of us and in
spite of you. We say this emphatically, while it is
still time, in order that the responsibility of so great
a crime may fall entirely upon its authors."
Great anxiety is manifested in Paris to know
what may have transpired at the meeting of the
London Conference to-day, and various speculations
are already hazarded upon the subject. The report
seems confirmed that Italy and Belgium will be re-
presented at the Congress.
A very extraordinary case of fecundity has oc-
currred at Illiers, not far from Chartres. The wife
of M. Renoucet, a tradesman, in about two hours
• gave birth to five boys, all perfectly formed. They
were all born alive, -although the accouchement was
premature by three months, but each died "in about.
seven minutes after being brought into the world.
A foreign newspaper having spread a report that
Madame Rosa Bonheur had become insane, the cele-
brated artist has written a letter to the editor of it
Paris paper, in which she indignantly denies that
there is any truth in the report.
The latest information iu Paris in regard to the
Conference is that so little difference of opinion will
be exhibited that the preliminary points will be set-
tled in three sittings.

The weather has been extremely hot to-day.

literary men. Supper was served at one o'clock
in the grand gallery. The fete was very brilliant,
and the pleasure of the entertainment was enhanced
by the courtesy and attention of Monsieur and
Madame Forcade de la Roquette.
Several articles at the Exhibition possess much
interest—if not on their own account, by way of
contrast. Thus in the portion devoted to Holland
is to be seen a model of one of the very ancient
vessels furnished with numerous oars, with which
the Dutch formerly made long voyages. This
rough specimen, however, is a Treat im-
provement upon the boats and galleys which
were in use in the time of the Phoenicians,
the Romans, and the Carthaginians. The visitor
should pass from this exhibition of the ancient naval
architecture of Holland to see the steam engines of
the steamboats which are now built. The French
seem much interested iu all that appertains to the
navy. When the Great Eastern arrived at Brest
the excitement was intense. All the inhabitants of
the town went, to see the monster ship. Not far
from the Dutch nautical articles is a miguificent
collection of arras in silex, manufactured during the
age of stone. There are stone battle axes, and
arrows with pointy to receive poison. Such were
the weapons of war before the days of revolvers,
rifled cannon, Chessepot guns, and Prussian rifled
The primitive arms exhibited are in great
variety, although the science of killing was not in
such perfection in olden times.
The gardens and park are really enchanting.
Mdny leave the galleries, however resplendent with
rich works of art, to see nature's products in their
rich and attractive form. There is a collection of
flowers, brought from all the countries of the world,
which proudly and gaily exhibit themselves in all
their marvellous and infinite variety.
