CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, Friday Evening.
The Berlin papers comment with increas-
ing bitterness upon all persons who presume to
differ in the least degree with M. Bismarck. The

Gazette Nationale of that city contains correspon

deuce from Schleswig, in which it is argued tha

the presentation of an address from the Reichsradt
and the articles of the Dagbladet of Copenhagen

have no other object than to excite France against
Germany. The Gazette adds :—" We have here

opposed to us a venomous dwarf who substitutes for
the strength which fails him artifices of language
for provocation." _

The discussion in the Chamber of Deputies of
Italy upon the subject of the project of law relative
to Ecclesiastical property proceeds in a favourable
spirit, and there seems every probability of the
realisation of the wish expressed by M. Rattazzi,

that there will be no essential difference as to prin
ciple between the Government and the Parliament

This morning the funeral ceremony took place,
at the church of St. Ferdinand des Termes, over the

remains of another eminent member of the theatrica

profession. Lambert Thiboust, the first comic actor
of the clay, and author of many dramas, has died at

the early age of 40. Only a day or two ago the
members of the profession assembled in large num-
bers to pay the last tribute of respect to
Pousard. Thiboust was a gay and joyous actor,
and ever created genuine mirth and laughter.
Among his very numerous pieces are " Les Filles de
Marbre," "La Mariee du Mardi Gras," and
" L'Homme n'est pas Parfeit." lie had great ver-
satility of talent. Such was his demeanour in
private life that if he bad sought ever so much he
' could not have found an enemy. Friends he bad
everywhere, who will regret him as much as his
mother, whom he adored.

A lady, the Countess Thurn, who resided near
Charleroi, has just met her death under circum-
stances very similar to those under which the young
Archduchess Matilda perished. The countess, who
had just sealed a letter, incautiously threw the match
with which she had lighted the taper behind her.
In an instant her dress caught fire. Her husband

The bell and part of the striking machinery of
the belfry of St. Epore, at Nancy, have just been
taken down for repairs. On the bell there is an
inscription in large Roman letters to the effect that
it was placed there in the reign of Charles 111.,
under the supervision of Count do Salm, Governor
of Nancy in the year 1576. It has the arms of
Lorraine, and is also ornamented with the thistle of
Nancy. There are the four Evangelists, with their
symbolical attributes. Also a small circular medal-
lion representing in profile the bust of our Saviour.
On the other side a small medallion representing
the Holy Virgin holding the infant Jesus standing
up on her knees, with the two names Jesus, Maria.
A small piece of money was fixed after the last word
of the legend, and served as a full stop.
By the direction of the Austrian Ambassador a

funeral service will be performed to-morrow at the
German Church in the Rue Lafayette, in com-
memoration of the Emperor Maximilian.
Accounts from Cherbourg announce the arrival
in that port of the Imperial yacht Jerome Napoleon,
having on board Prince Napoleon and the Duke
and Duchess d'Aoste. The yacht was saluted by
the squadron and the vessels in port. Madame
Wyse (formerly Letitia Bonaparte) has been at
Cherbourg for some days. Prince Arthur has also
arrived at Cherbourg, accompanied by Major
Elphinstone, and Lieutenant Pickard, on his way to
England, in the Royal Yacht Osborne. The Sul-
tan, it is said, will embark at Cherbourg on his
return to his dominions. The ironclad squadron
which is to escort him awaits the Sultan's orders to
proceed for any other port should he change his in-
tention of going from Cherbourg.
A grand farewell dinner was given by the
Emperor at the Tuileries to the Sultan, at which
were present all the high dignitaries of the State
and the Court, the ambassadors, the heads of the
Legations, and the principal persons of his suite.
This was the first time that the subjects of the
Sultan sat at his table. It was an honour never
before granted by any Padischal, who always eats
alone.
The Queen of Prussia, who travels under the
title of Countess of Hohenzollern, is staying at the
Prussian Embassy. ller Majesty is in deep
mourning in Consequence of the death of the
Emperor Maximilian.

murder and mutilation. Portions of the body of an
old man named Dugue had been found at St. Omer
and St. Denis. From the exertions of the police the
head has been discovered in the Seine opposite
Epinay. It is identified beyond doubt by the fa-
mily. The skull was fractured iu eight places, and
the head must have been cut off with a hatchet.
Several men have been arrested on suspicion. The
police have been able to trace the exact route pur-
sued by the unfortunate man. He was seen in com-
pany with a person in several places, and that in-
dividual was with him at Clichy and at Levallois
Perret. The deceased was robbed of some hundreds
of francs which he had received at market.
