The Prefect of the Seine has published a notice to
the effect that an enquete has been opened at the
Mairie of the 6th Arrondissement on the proposed
alterations in the gardens of the Luxembourg. The
plans, showing the suggested changes, will be open
to the public for a fortnight. The transformations
contemplated are the opening of 11 new public
thoroughfares on ground detached from the gar-
dens ; the enlarging of a portion of the Rue Bona-
parte, and the conversion of the central avenue of
the Observatory into a public promenade. After
the exhibition of the plans, the authorities will re-
ceive during the three following days all remarks
or suggestions which may be made on the advan-
tages of the project or the contrary. •
The third and last ballot for assigning the grand
medal of the Exhibition of Living Artists took
place yesterday at the Palace of Industry. The
number of voters was 174, and the votes given
were-50 to M. Bonnat, 49 to M. Carpeaux, 32 to
M. Corot, 36 black bulletins, and seven so irregular
as to be void. No artist having obtained the re-
quisite number of votes, the medal will not be
awarded this year.

The murderer Aspe, on his arrival at the hulks of
Toulon, made a new statement as to the manner in
which he had made away with the missing head of
his victim, the girl Guillouet. He now says that after
having burnt it in a manner to render it unrecog-
nisable, he threw it into the wheel of a mill, where it
was ground to pieces.
The Semaphore of Marseilles announces the arrival
at that port, from the East, of Lady Franklin,
widow of the explorer of the polar regions. Her
ladyship soon after embarked for Bastia, with the
intention of visiting Corsica and Sardinia. She is
in her 83d year, and enjoys excellent health.
A Naples letter says :—" M. Thalberg's time has
not been spent in vain ; the great musician has be-
come a large grower of grapes, and, what is more, a
first-rate maker of wines. What he • produces is
something more than ordinary table The
spot he has chosen on the corniche of Posilipo is
highly congenial to the grape, and the produce is
far before many wines imported from Bordeaux.
He makes from the Bordeaux grape, which appears
to thrive just as well at Posilipo as in its native
clime. The wine is better than half the Bordeaux
we drink, for it is pure, sound, wholesome, and
palatable, and at the price one may get it at is one
of the most pleasing liquids one could possibly put
upon the table."
The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric situation yesterday :
" Bad weather is speading in Europe. A gale is
passing over the north, the centre of which was
yesterday towards Finland. Another is following
closely at a little lower latitude. The sky is stormy
or variable over Spain, Western France, and the
British Isles. Storms are occurring daily in Italy."
At Paris, yesterday, the early part of the day was
fine, but towards 5 o'clock a thunderstorm broke
over the city, which, however, was not very violent
or of long duration. At 3 in the afternoon the
thermometer marked 28.7 cent. (83 3-5 Fah.)

The Lombardia of Milan publishes the following
declaration addressed by Kossuth to the Hun-

garians :

Turin, June 6.

A great number of my fellow-countrymen, from diffe-
rent parts of Italy, having asked me what they ought to
do under the present circumstances, and it being impossible
for me to reply personally to all, I declare, by these pre-
sents, that in my opinion all those of my fellow-country-
'men employed in military service or any other duty would
do well to remain where they are and await patiently the
course of events. Those, on the contrary, who have no
occupation, who are fit for military service, and have a
wish to enter it, will do well to enlist in the Hungarian
legion. They may besides be all convinced that if affairs
become developed so far as to offer a field of action to
their patriotic zeal, due notice shall be given them.

L. KOSSUTH.

The Aldan Gazette reports the arrest of six priests
who were incessantly manifesting their aversion to
the existing order of things. It appears that at
their houses some compromising papers were found,
which leave no doubt as to their hostile intentions.

The Polish emigrants, who formerly furnished a
considerable contingent to the corps of Italian volun-
teers, remain in the reserve. The advice of Prince
Czartoriski, and likewise, without doubt, the not
very warm acceptance they have received from
Garibaldi, have led to this expectant attitude.
BOURSE, June 12.—Two o'Clock.—There is
