FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY.
A bill is, by order of the Emperor, to be pre-
sented to the Legislative Body for granting pen-
sions to the families of the persons killed in the
last attempt on his Majt-s'y's life, and to the per-
sons who were injured. It proposes pensions of
I,ooof. a.year to the widows of Daltlen, garde de
Paris ; Haaz, tradesman ; Raffin, hotelkeeper ;
Mme. Riquier, widow of the intendant of the
household of Prince Jerome ; and Waleau, a con-
cierge ; and others of 600 f. to each of the three
children of Haaz, three of Riquier, and five of
Waleau. To the fathers or mothers of Batty,
Chassard, Drisange, and Giraudon, who wtre
killed, it accords pensions of 600 f. To Channoine,
who lost a limb, it gives one of I,ooof. • and
to Ducamp, Hebert, Lavenne, Leandro, Martin,
Odin, Franck, Planque, Mozig, Peyrot, Pontal-
her, and Zinkernagel, who received various in-
juries, it grants pensions of 600 francs each.
The committee of the Ia gislative Budy on the
budget has terminated its examination. The go-
vernment had demanded credits for paying the
increase of salaries granted to certain categories of
employes of the ministries, but the committee de-
clares that it does not think them necessary, and it
proposes that the increase granted to persons who
receive 1,500 francs salary shall b 3 taken off, and
that that accorded to inferior functionaries shall
not exceed 150 francs. Tl co:limi,Lea besides
strongly recommends that the number of function-
aries shall be considerably reduced, as it exceeds
what was fixed by decrees in 1851. and 1852 ; also
that the formalities observed in transacting bosi
nets in the Government offices shall be simplified.
The committee also calls for the suppress on of the
augmentation granted to juges de pair and their
clerks. It proposes to adj 'urn the proposed exten-
sion of the section of disputed maiters in the
Mini-t; yof Foreign Aff cirs ;to reject an increase of
180,000 f. in the salaries and allowances to receivers
of finances, one of 210,000 f. in allowances to
tax-collectors, and various others in the salaries
of cltirks in the direct and indirect taxes, do-
mains, and waters and forests. The committee
likewise rejects the indemnity proposed to be
granted to functionaries of public libraries and
scientific establishments for having been deprived
of their lodgings in buildings of the State. The
committee, moreover, complains of the disburse-
ment of 500,000 fr. for works and repairs in the
Ministry of State. The committee only recom-
mends one increase, and that is of 62,500 fr. for
additional religious aid in crowded parishes.

A Vienna leiter, in the Augsburg Gazette, states
that the rumour which prevailed of the intention of
the governors c,f the Lombardo-Venetian and
Hungarian kingdoms to resign i 8 quite incorrect.
The Archduke Albert, governor of Hungary, will,
however, take a lung conge in the couree of the
summer.

The Boersenhalle of Berlin states that the com-
mission for the revision of the regulations relative
to the navigation of the E'be is to meet at Ham-
burg at the beginning of June.

A.,:cording to a Berlin letter, one of the first
communications which will be made by the
Prmsiau cabinet to the chambJ.s after the
Easter holidays will be relative to the health
of the King. The delegation now held by the
Prince of Prussia expires on the 234 of this ro.on.h,
and it will proba'dy be proling,d for six months ;
if at the expiration of that period the King be not
recovered, it is thought that a permanent regency
will be established.

The Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived.
Those of the libaral party vehemently attack the
talked-of fusion of the two branches of the royal
family, but in doing so they declare that thy do
not consider it probab'e. The government was
about to present a bill reLitive to the silo of eeJe
siastical property ; it is base], it is said, on the
arrangement come to between M. Mon and the
Papal govetnmeut.

THE BRITISH BANK DIRECTORS.—The Mayor, Alder-
men, and Town Ciuncil, bankers, professional men,
tradesmen, and inhabitant householders of this city, have
signed a petition for presentation to her M je-itv in be-
half of Mr Kennedy, one of the British Bank Directors,
who, without having overdrawn his account or partici.
pated in the fraudulent scheme, was sentenced to nine
men'hs' imprisonment in the Qleen's B •nch prison. The
prarr of the petition is f ,r the reversal of that sentence ;
and it is sir rarely hoped it may be heard and granted.—
Hereford Times.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 2 per mille discount, and the short exchange on
London is 25.10 per 1/. sterling. Oo comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 3/ 17,. 100. per
mines for standard gold it appears that g ld is about
I.loth per cent. dearer in Paris than in Landon. By
advices from Hamburg the price of gold i 4 420 per
mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.3 k, per
1/. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price
is therefore about 4-10ths par cent. dearer in London
than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New
York on London Car bills at 60 days' sight is about 107
per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par
between the "two countries, shows that the exchange is
against England ; and, after making allowance for
charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre
sent rate is just low enough to admit of the exportation
of gold from this country.
KAILWAY TUNNEL AT THE DOVER HEIGHTS.—The
tunnel now coustructieg by the East Kent Railway
Company under the heights is in rapid pro-2,ress, the
workmen being at present employed in bricking the
arch and rides as fast as the miners remove the chalk
and earth from the tunnel. A clear passage through
has been for some time effected ; and about three.
fourths of the completed tunnel have been constructed,
so as to require little more than the ballast and rails to
be in a working condition. The entrance from Canter-
bury is on the Folkestoue-roan, which ere long will be
lowered 11 ft. The length of the tunnel is about 680
yards ; the clear breadth 31 ft. 6 in., and the height
from the rail to the keystone of the arch 21 ft. 6 in., all
of well finished brick work 18i ft. thick. Thu greatest
depth from the surface of the heights to the rails is from
270 to 289 ft.

IMPROVEMICNTS IN PARIS —The embellishment and
substantial improvement which Paris has undergone for
the last five or Nix years are truly marvellous. Absent
yourself from► tell-known place a few months, and on re-
visiting it you will look round and fancy that you have
just arrived in the ci'y for the first time. rho long
familiar lanes and alleys have disappeared ; op, n spaces
or wastes have been filled up ; splendid edifi cc have
risen where you only knew crumblin,4 masses of de-
cayed stone or dead walls enclosing aboininatinns. There
are entire quarters of this c'ty which the Parisian him-
eelf would hardly recognise. S )me of the finest, most
spacious, and commodious hou-es may indeed be found
in parts which, a few ;Sirs ago, were the most miserable.
The buildings that have been constructed in the vicinity
of the Faubourg St. Antoine and the Bastille, the Fau-
bourg St. Denis, and parts adjacent, are quite as fine as
any in the quarter of the Madeleine, which, until now,
was regarded a the most elegant of Paris. All differenc3
in this respect is, in fact, disapp aria;---cvality in
street architecture is alvancing rapidly, al d what is
nicknamed the "noble fauhourg"' has long bee❑ left
behind.

SHOCKING 000UHRENCE.—Within the last few days a
very paicful excitement has taken place in the establish-
ment of Lord Dufferin, at Higlsgate, in consequence of
the violent death of one of the domestics, under circum-
stances of a very extraordinary and Ins'ancho:y notur,•.
It appears from the evidence that was brought forward
at the inquest, which was held on Tuesday, before Mr.
Wakley, that the deceased, Win. Fallow, who was 17
years of age, held a situation at Dufferin-lodge. On
Saturday night last, between
.8 and 9, the deceased was
eating oysters, when one stunk in the thorax. The un •
fortunate youth ran about in the gr,atest agony, and at
length fell. Mr. Margie, a surgeon, promp ly arrived,
but all human aid was unavailing. On a post-mortem
examination the oyster was discovered 4, tho v;r
