quently warned the imprudent gamblers of the inevi-
table catastrophes which were preparing, and the present
state of affairs is calculated to inspire serious alarms.
Some respectable h,ouses are said to be embarrassed, and
others to be ruined. To the difficulties of Paris are to be
added the failures in the principal towns of France.
Lyons, Marseilles, and Strasbourg are in a calamitous
position. Everywhere the fever of gambling has pene-
trated it has caused the same destruction. We dread
the moment of liquidation at the end of the month, and
the disasters already known cause much apprehension
for others."

The France draws the following picture of this alarm-
ing calamity:—" The Cabinet had relied on the move-
ment of the Bourse to arrest the political movement ;
but alas ! the Bourse itself becomes an embarrassment.
The mountains of paper which were negotiated with
considerable premiums are offered for nothing ; they are
disposed of by wholesale, and by weight, for a few cen-
times. It is no longer a panic, it is a complete rout.
This great prosperity in expectation, those great pro-
jects of fortune which turned every head, have vanished,
but not without inflicting deep wounds. The credit is
strongly affected, and there is no knowing how and when
it can recover. The immoderate speculation in rail-
road shares proceeded from the enormous profits
they presented. The moment there was no longer
any premium to be gained the capitals were with-
drawn, and the negotiation of the shares con-
sequently became more and more difficult. This
is a great evil, for the capital usually vested in industry
and commerce, and which had been momentarily dis-
placed to purchase shares, is now actually locked up and
unavailable. The results are a penury of money, an
almost impossibility to obtain discounts, and embarrass-
ments in trade and industry. Business is languid and
nearly at a stand at the commencement of a winter
which threatens to be rigorous and attended with a
famine." The Reformi states that eight bankruptcies
were declared at the Paris Tribunal of Commerce on
Monday, their engagements amounting to 2,000,000 f.
(80,0001.) The directors of some of the companies
formed for the Paris and Strasbourg line of railway,
have announced their intention of returning to their sub-
scribers the full amount of their subscriptions. The
Company d'Anthouard, which was the only one that did
not enter into the fusion, has also announced that it will
repay to its subscribers the whole of the amount of
their subscriptions on the 29th inst. and subsequent
days. Such conduct is highly honourable.
The thirty-sixth anniversary of the marriage of the
KING and QUEEN, which was solemnised at Naples on
the 25th November, 1809, was celebrated on Wednesday,
at St. Cloud, as a day of rejoicing to the Royal Family
and the household. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess AUGUSTUS of Saxe Coburg arrived at St.
Cloud on Tuesday from England.
