wanted. They wished to see not merely the domi-
nation of the clergy established, but that of
the various religious bodies, and particularly
the Jesuits. The majority of the Cham-
ber applauded these sentiments. Then came"
.the
turn of the Marquis DE GABRIAC to speak, but he
seemed afraid to mount•the tribune, and was trying
to escape from the House by a side door, when hiS
exit was prevented by the President, who said, "It
is now M. DE GABRIAC'S turn to speak." M. DE
GADRIAC turned round, on hearing Hs name men
tioned, and said, " It is now half-past five, and I shall
ask the Chamber to adjourn the discussion till to•
'
morrow."—("No, no," " Yes, yes.") The Chamber,
being consulted, decided that the discussion should
proceed. The following scene then took place
The Marquis advanced with extreme slowness towardd
the tribune. The President—" I must remind the
Noble Peer that the Chamber is waiting."—(Laughter.)
The Marquis DR GABRIAC at last ascended the tri,
bune, and, after having taken out a written speech,
looked at it a moment, and then returned it hastily
to his pocket. He then commenced some general
remarks, which he interrupted at every moment to
sip the glass of sugar and water placed at his right
hand. This was continued so methodically, that at
last a loud and general fit of laughter seized on the
assembly. After a few minutes, the Noble Peer sud-
denly stopped and looked round the Chamber, as if fur
relief, when a fresh burst of laughter took place, ac-,
companied with cries of " Adjourn, adjourn." The
Noble Marquis, greatly relieved, descended from the
tribune much more alertly than he had gone up, and
at once left the Chamber.

In the Chamber of Deputies the principle of the
Prisons Bill was adopted, or, to use the English Par-
liamentary phrase, the Bill was read a second time,
and the Chamber. went into Committee, when a num-
ber of clauses were agreed to. The following appears
in the Muniteur respecting the delay in sending out
Admiral HAMELIN to replace M. DUPETIT TIIOUARS.

" The King having ordered that Rear-Admiral Hamelin,
who is appointed to the command of the station of Oceania
and the western coasts of America, shall hoist his flag in the
Virginie frigate, has, by a decision dated the 17th instant,
founded on the report of the Minister of Marine and Colonies,
appointed to the command of that frigate Capt. Hanat-Clery,
who is also to perform the functions of chief of the etat-ma-
jor to Admiral Hamelin. In consequence of this decision his
Majesty has appointed Capt. Danthon, the former commander
of the Virginie, to the frigate Andromede, in which. Rear-
Admiral Laplace, who is appointed to command the station
of the Antilles, is to hoist his flag. Capt. Danthon is to per-
form the functions of chief of the etat-major to Bear-Admiral
Laplace."

Great excitement prevailed on the Paris Bourse on
Saturday from a general belief that some resolution
had been come to by the Government for the reduc-
tion of the Five per Cent. Stock. Large sales were
made for the purpose of investing the proceeds in the
Threes, which caused a reduction in the former, and
a great rise iu the latter stock. . The Five per Cents.
closed at 121 f. 90e., and the Threes at 84f. 20c.
