PARIS, MONDAY, JAN. 9, FOUR O'CLOCK.

A panic has seized the Stock Exchange, and a
heavy fall in the Funds has consequently taken place.
Their state is as follows :

Closed on Saturday, Five per Cents., 94f. 80c. ;
Three per Cents. 65f. 60c.
Opened on Monday, Five per Cents. 941. 25c.;
Three per Cents. 65f. 10c.
Closed on Monday at half-past three o'clock, Five
per Cents., 92f. 40c.; Three per Cents, 62f. 25c.
In the coulisse, after 'Change hours, the Threes
rated at 62f. 30c.

Nothing positive was stated as the cause of the
panic, but the apprehensions of war, arising out of
the perplexed state of polities,—the remonstrance
said to be in preparation by the French Government,
against the refusal expected on the 15th instant, in
the Conference of London of the three Northern
Powers to ratify the treaty between Belgium and
Holland,—and the fears of a change of Ministry, in
consequence of the protestation of the Deputies,
now signed by 140 Members,—have all contributed
to excite alarm and to cause the decline, which was
gradual from the opening of the Exchange.
In the Chambers nothing of interest occurred to-
day.

The dispassionate part of the public have now
a constant opportunity of estimating the extent and value
of the loyalty of those who used, when the loaves and
fishes were their own, to lay claim to the exclusive
possession of that quality. Now, however, that their pa-
trons are ousted from office, and the highest personage in
the State is united with the people in promoting a mea-
sure, one effect of which must be to cut up undeserved
patronage by the roots, there are no terms of disloyal in-
terpretation too strong to depict their rancorous hatred of
all that was formerly the object of their almost idolatrous
worship.—Morning Herald.
NATIONAL COUNCIL, DUBLIN.--The first
meeting is to take place on Monday. Eight Members
only have yet stated their determination to attend. These
are Messrs. BLACKNEY (Carlow county), CHAPMAN'
(Westmeath county), JAMES GRATTAN (Wicklow cou❑ty),
HENRY GRATTAN (Meath county), DANIEL O'CONNELL
(Kerry county), MAURICE O'CONNELL (Clare county),
IturruvEN (borough of Downpatrick), and WysE (Tip-
rary county). Sir RICHARD Musc RAVE cannot attend,
on account of pressing private business; and the absence
of Mr. 'gowns, of Kerry, is caused by illness. All the
other answers received are refusals; but it is supposed
that several Members, whose replies have not yet been for-
warded, are favourable to the object in contemplation.
The attendance of Messrs. LEADER, MACNAMARA,
WALKER, LAMBERT (Of Wexford.) ar.d Sir JOHN DOYLE,
is calculated upon. It is said that the meetings of " the
National Council" will not be open to the public ; but
that the Members will he ready to reeeive all information
and suggestions that may be proffered them. Previous to
the departure of the Members for London, it is understood
that they will be entertained at a public dinner.
LOSS OF " THIRDLY."—The Rev. Mr.
Minister of —, had a custom of writing the
heads of his discourse o❑ small slips of paper, which he
placed on the Bible before him, to be used in succession.
One day, when he was explaining the second head, he
got a little warm in the harness, and came down with
such a thump upon the Bible with his band, that the en-
suing slip fell over the edge of the pulpit, though unper-
ceived by himself. On reaching the end of his second
head, be looked down for the third slip ; but, alas, it was
not to be found. " Thirdly," he cried, looking round
him with great anxiety. After a little pause, " Thirdly,'
again he exclaimed, but still no Thirdly appeared.--
" Thirdly, I say, my brethren," pursued the bewildered
clergyman ; but not another word could he utter. At this
point, while the congregation were partly sympathising in
his distress, and partly rejoicing in such a decisive instance
of the impropriety of using notes in preaching—which
has always been an unpopular thing in the Scotch clergy--
an old woman rose up, and thus addressed the preacher
" If I'm no mistaen, Sir, I saw Thirdly flee out at the
east window, a quarter of an hour syne." It is impossible
for any but a Scotchman to conceive how much this ac-
count of the loss of Thirdly was relished by that part of
the congregation which condemned the use of notes
Chambers' Scottish Jest Book.

Many of the distinguished nobility and gentry,
and men of talent in the Fine Arts, have (luring
the past week been much gratified by a private
view of the Enamel Paintings at Mr. Rixon's,
Cockspur-street, which have for the last two
years been under the hand of a very eminent
artist in his employ. The subjects are, " The
Trial of Queen Catherine," copied from Harlow ;
" Joshua, commanding the Sun and Moon," by
Martin ; and " Charity," by Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds. The most able critics have expressed it
to he their judgment, that they are not only exe-
cuted with all the spirit and expression of the
originals, but that a more brilliant and natural
effect is produced by the transmission of the rays
of light passing through the piece, than could be
produced on canvas. This art is now so well
understood and so much improved, that as a
comparison with the finest ancient specimens of
painting on glass, it will be found that as great
a variety and breadth and power of colour can
now be obtained, as ever has been, and that the
filling in is very far superior.
