(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAY, November 23.

The accident to the Prince of Wales produced the.most
alarming rumours in the city of canards, but it turned out
to be a very small fact. The Prince's horse was knocked
down, and of course the rider went with it, but,he sus-
tained the smallest amount of damage that could
possibly result from such a fall. The accident
did not hurt the hunter, and it decidedly benefiteci: the
game, for the stag got clear off. The next day the Prim:,
was able to attend a grand battne, on which occasion eight
guns managed to destroy some 2,000 head of game. Life
at Compiegne must be hard work. What with the
" sport " that can be found in this wholesale butchery,
grand dinners, endless dancing, and the like, the autumn
retreat of the French Court presents a toujoers perdrix
bill of fare which must soon become intolerable. It i.,
well that the guests are arranged in series, and that th,
Court existence of each series is brief, otherwise the ter-
ment of amusement would become a dire reality. The
sojourn of their 'loyal llighneeses, therefore, presents
very little of interest. I may mention that the
Princess of Wales enjoyed the pleasure of dancing
with General von Moltke, and that, next to the
Prince of Wales, Marshal Bazaine is the most enthu
elastic dancer at Compiegne !
The result of the legal proceedings against the Jude-
pendant du Centre is the event of the day. There is but
this one great piece of news, and it is to be found every-
where. There can be no doubt that the Government have
,here received a most serious check, and have fallen into as
awkward a dilemma as can evell,befall a Government which
can -always resort to arbitrary measures to escape from a
difficult position. The Indtpendant was cited, like the
2aris journals, for its participation in the Baudin affair
but though the accusation against it was precisely th,
same as in the case of the journals which have been
condemned, and though the Government put forth all its
power to procure a conviction, the court, to the astonish-
ment of everybody, acquitted the incriminated paper,
after two hours' deliberation. This one acquittal will in-
jure the Government more than all the numerous con-
demnations can benefit it It is an unfortunate termina-
tion to an unfortunate affair. The contradictory policy
of the Emperor's Ministry has not shewn to very great
advantage throughout this affair; Lott this final issue, this.
condemnation And acquittal of different journals for the;
same offence, is an unexpectedly unfavourable termination,
Nor is this all. Full reports of the proceedings against
the various journals are to be published in the ford
of a pamphlet. ,Of course the interference of
the law will be called in here, but this
will only give the pamphlet a wider circulation and
greater popularity. And truly the speeches of some of
the counsel for the defence are not such as the Govern-
ment would like to see scattered broadcast throughout
France. The Baudin subscription has produced £1,200.
There is a vacancy in the Senate. Baron de Chassiom
is dead.

Another man of mark has been placed upon the sick
list. This is Serrano, who has been severely attacked by
fever. His health, which has caused great anxiety through
Spain, is now improving.

There is tftlk of subscribing for a magnificent mauso•
leum for Rossini. Contributions will be chiefly sought
Amongst artistes of all grades—literary men and the like.
It is not stated whether the Government will find in this
subscription a fresh condemnation of the coup d'etat.
The Lanterne is still eagerly sought after. The dis-
covertof numerous copies in some busts of the Emperor
has greatly sharpened the vigilance of the police, who pry
into every thing. They cut open some meat pies the other
day in the expectation of finding Lantern es, but were dis-
appointed. The unhappy owner of these edibles is not
likely to get any redress.

A law which forbade the carrying of firearms in Corsica
was repealed last session. This alteration does not appear
to hive produced any very reassuring effects. Assaults,
cutting and wounding, and murder have greatly increased.
Of twenty-nine charges to come before the assizes, thirteen
are for murder, and two cases of manslaughter.
An ingenious provincial has much occupied himself of
tate with experiments on milk. He finds that the milk
first drawn from the cow is much poorer than that which
Is obtained when the supply is well-nigh exhausted. He
has demonstrated this great fact by filling several small
cans with milk from one animal. That drawn last con-
tained by far the richest cream and the greatest amount
of it.
