ported as on Saturday. The settlement to be effected to-
morrow in Shares causes a few sales of stock. Consols have

quer-bills have realised 58s. to 60s. premium. The flatness

Paris, s) justly renowned for its elegant novelties
has, this year, not only maintain,d its reputation, but
surpassed it in all that concerns la toilette, and the
Englishman going there to be dressed, aka derniere
mole, cannot fail to visit Beaker aine, 15, Rue Neuve
des Petits Champs, where he will find all that richness of
material, elegance, and good taste can combine, and may
with confidence leave his choice to be cut up by a tailor
whose talent and bon gout is proverbial even amongst the
Lions of the capital.
