The pupils of the Conservatoire Royal had the honour
of performing Raoul de Crequi, on Monday evening,
before their Majesties at Saint Cloud. Amongst the
company present on this occasion was Marshal Bugeaud.
Before his departure from Algiers, Marshal Bugeaud
published an order of the slay, announcing that Lieute-
nant-General de Lamorciere would act as Commander-
in-Chief during his absence in France. The Patric
states that the Marshal will go to Excideuil at the end
of this week, but will return to Paris to take part in the
discussion on the Address in the Chamber of Deputies.
The Gazette des Tribunaux gives an account of an
extensive fraud by a Paris bookseller, whom it calls N—,
and who has fled from justice. It is stated that in one
day he got discounted fifty bills for various amounts,
some of them, it appears, large, drawn on different
booksellers in the country. He produced false letters
from them acknowledging the receipt of books, and au-
thorising him to draw for the amount. The bankers
who were applied to to discount the bills bad, therefore,
no suspicion of fraud.
For a few days, says the Constitutionnel, some of the
hatters at the Boulevards, and in the purlieus of the
Palais Royal, exhibited in their shop• windows new-
fashioned hats ticketed Chapeaux Zurbano, Chapeaux
Narvaez, wishing, no doubt, to revive the Bolivars and
lkfurillos, but they have been withdrawn by order of the
police.
We learn from Palrea, in the Balearic Islands, that the
Jesuits have just established themselves there i❑ spite of
the law to the contrary, and that the political chief and
several of the other authorities were present at the cere-
mony of opening their church.
A letter from St. Petersburgh, in the Universal Ger-
man Gazette, states that the health of the Empress has
improved, and no longer causes any uneasiness. On ac-
count of the mourning worn for the Grand Duchess
Alexandra, the Empress appears but rarely in public,
and it is thought that a considerable length of time will
elapse before the fiktes of the Court of St. Petersburgh
will resume their former brilliancy.
It appears by a letter from Bayonne that the roads in
many parts of Spain are infested by banditti to a
greater extent than at any other time during the last
four or five years.
The Observateur des Pyrenees states that a proposition
has been made to the Spanish Government by an English
company to construct a railroad from the bridge of
Aviles (Asturias) to Madrid. Its capital is said to be
2,000,0001. It demands a lease of 80 years, and per-
mission to bring into Spain, free of duty, all the matters
necessary to construct and work the line.
The spirit of gaiety pseuliar to France has been lately
displayed by the squadron of Admiral Parseval, during
its station in the roadsted of Tunis. Several of the ships
gave amateur theatrical representations, and the Ocean
even went so far as to send out its play-bills printed in
letters of gold.
A letter from the North of Italy, dated November 7,
states that the Adige had, on the 25th ult., for the
third time this season, broken through its dykes on
the right and left, and spread over all the flat grounds
from Neumarkt to Deutschinetz, rendering not only the
high road impassable, b►rt also that from Laag to Saburn.
In the last-named village the water was four feet deep,
and all communication was cut off except by boats.
The Althar, of the 17th, states that the three Arabs,
condemned to death for the murder of the Agra Mahoun,
being ordered for execution at Tenyat-el-Had, were
directed to that locality under the escort of a body of
gendarmes. When the party had arrived at their
resting-place for the night, beyond the defile of Wad-
Djer, the prisoners knelt down, and remained at prayer
longer than previously. Throughout the whole passage,
indeed, they had been apparently unremitting in their
devotions, and whenever a halt took place. It came
out, however, afterwards, that they were busily em-
ployed in getting rid of the irons on their legs, and con-
trived to escape.
