PARIS, Nov. 12.
During the last few days no case of cholera has
been reported in this city. _ _

The Constitutionnel denies the assertions of the
Memorial Diplonzatique relative to the language of
Mr. Ode Russell during his passage through Paris.
Mr. Russell did not enter upon the hypothesis of
the withdrawal of the Pope from Rome, nor did he
state that he was authorised by the British Govern-
ment to offer hospitality to his Holiness.
Mr. Kopp has communicated to the Academy of
Sciences the result of some practical experiments on
the nitro-glycerine used in quarries in France for
blasting purposes. 1,500 grammes will detach about
70 cubic metres of hard rock. The nitro-glycerine
employed is heavier than water ; it may be handled
with comparative safety, but a violent shock will
cause it to explode.
The Moniteur de l'Armee publishes an article upon
the inferences drawn by the Paris journals relative
to the proposed reorganisation of the army, and
says :—" The National Guard will never be any-
thing but a reserve. Above all it is necessary to
have an army before the formation of a reserve.
The effective strength of 400,800 men as a peace
establishment will not therefore be reduced. The
object of the commission appointed to report on this
question will be to discover the means of constitut-
ing a reserve always available, more considerable,
and better instructed and exercised than the present.
Such an institution will not permit any reduction in
the war budget, hut will, on the contrary, necessitate
some sacrifices indispensable for the honour and
security of the country."
The review of the Imperial Guard in the Bois de
Boulogne on Monday last derived a special interest
from the fact that it was the first official appearance
of the Emperor in public since his illness. The
troops were formed on two different portions of the
Bois—the racecourse and St. James's—as on either
open space the thirty battalions, sixteen squadrons,
and twelve batteries of artillery, of which this force
was composed, would not have had sufficient de-
ployment room. The troops were under the com-
mand of Marshal Count Regnaud Saint-Jean-d'-
Angely. After a few mancenvres they were massed
and defiled before the Emperor. His Majesty, with
the Empress and Prince Imperial, arrived in a car-
riage. The Emperor afterwards mounted and gal-
loped down the line. In spits of the cold there
was a considerable number of spectators.
It is necessary to caution manufacturers and in-
tending exhibitors against being imposed upon by
unauthorised parties who are soliciting. advertise-
ments not only for the Official Catalogue, but for
" guides" and projected publications that can never
be circulated in France. Notice has been given in
the Moniteur by the Imperial Commission that the
Official Catalogue is the only publication that will
be permitted. M. Dentu has paid £20,120 for the
concession ; while Messrs. J. M. Johnson and Son,
of Castle-street, Holborn, have secured for a large
sum the exclusive right of inserting all the British
advertisements.

BOURSE, Nov. 10.—Two o'clock.—Stocks and
Shares were at first higher. French Threes attained
69f. 170., but sales brought on by realisation of
profits have caused quotations to slightly retro-
grade, but they are now firm at from 69f. 15c. to
69f. 12ke., or about the same as yesterday. Italian
Fives have fallen 10c.-55f. 70c. Credit Mobilier

day, and are doing at 698 f. 75c., a fall of 6f. 25c.
Railway Shares are better, with, in many cases, a
further advance.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CASE OF STABBING.—James Mooney, an elderly man,
described as a military instrument maker, was charged
before Mr. D'Eyncourt with stabbing Frederick Mooney,
and assaulting Mary Mooney with a sword stick.
Mary Mooney (who gave her evidence in a very con-
fused manner), said that about 12 o'clock last night the
prisoner, who was her husband's brother, and lived at No.
17, Porter-street, was in bed with his clothes on, and her
husband was in another bed in the same room. After hor
husband had a pipe in bed she fell asleep by the side of
the fire, and she was awoke by hearing her husband cry
out. She asked her husband what was the matter, and
ho replied, "James has been after stabbing me." The
prisoner then struck her on the head, and she
bled a great deal. Her husband was then taken
to the Charing-cross Hospital, where he still remained, and
she had her head dressed.

Felice-constable Allwood, 186 C, said he was called to
the house in Porter-street, being informed that murder was
going on. He saw the female (Mary Mooney) bleeding
fro.n a wound on the head. She said that her brother-in-
law had struck her either with a stick or a poker. On
going upstairs ho found a man (Frederick Mooney) lying
on the floor moaning, and he said the prisoner, who was
sitting by the fire, had stabbed him in the belly with a
sword stick. He took the prisoner into custody, and the
injured man was taken to the hospital, and the doctor said
tho wound was a very bad one.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—What did the prisoner say when he
was charged by her brother with stabbing him ?
Allwood—He said, taking up a sword stick, that he had
done it with that, and that be had only just given his
brother a probe with it, and that his brother and his bro-
ther's wife had broken into his room.

Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did the prisoner appear excited.
Allwood—All the parties were drunk. The prisoner
went quietly to the station.

Mrs. Mooney (recalled) said in answer to Mr. D'Eyncourt
—I have been at the prisoner's room since Tuesday last,
and we agreed to pay half the rent of it as the prisoner
has no wife to do for him. My husband broke the room
door open in the prisoner's absence.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did that annoy the prisoner?
Mrs. Mooney—He laid in bed and did not stir, and I
knew nothing till I was awoke while asleep by the fire.

The prisoner said his brother had smashed in his door,
and that he was afraid of him, as he had taken up knives
to his sons and been imprisoned for it. His brother was
a powerful man, and he (prisoner) bought the sword-stick
for his protection.

Mr. D'Eyncourt—lf your brother dins you will be
charged with murder. It is a vory serious case. You will
bo remanded.

BREAKING A MAN'S ARM.—Edward Shannon, a labourer,
was charged before Mr. I)'Euycourt, with being drunk
and assaulting Edward Horner, a button stamper, residing
at 27, Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square, and breaking his
arm.

The complainant said—On Saturday night about half-
past eight o'clock I was coming along Charlotte-street,
Fitzroy-square, when I saw the prisoner lying on the top
of another man, both appearing to be drunk. The pri-
soner got up and said, " I'll gouge your eye out." I
told him that he must not do that, and he then seized
hold of me by the legs and threw me across the kerb and
fell on me. My arm was broken. I was quite sober.
Mr. D'Eyncourt —Have you been to the hospital ?
Complainant—l have, to the Middlesex Hospital, and
they wanted me to stay there.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—You had better do so if they wish it ?
Henry Purley, 5 A, Cleveland-street, gave similar evi-
dence to the complainant, stating that the complainant had
not given the prisoner any provocation.
Police-constable Jesse Stickland, 91 E, said—Between
8 and 9 o'clock on Saturday night I saw the complainant
and the prisoner squaring up to each other. I told them
to leave off, as I could not allow any fighting to go on in
the streets, and the prisoner then took hold of the com-
plainant and threw him and broke his arm. The com-
plainant was sober, but the prisoner was not.
Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the complainant)— The constable
says that you squared up to the prisoner ?
Complainant—l only did that to protect myself.
Mr. D'Eyncourt What are you ?
Complainant—l am a button stamper, and have to work
for my living.
Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the prisoner)—lt is a serious thing.
You perhaps have disabled the complainant for life. I
shall remand you for a week.
