KRESIGNATION OF THE FRENCH MINISTRY

The French Ministers have resigned en masse, in con-
sequence of the last check given in the refusal of the As-
sembly, following the example of General Changarnier,
to allow an adjournment for a few days for the sake of
enabling the Minister of War to reply to the inter-
pellation of Napoleon Bonaparte.
M. Carlier, prefect of police, has resigned also, in con-
sequence of the continued favour shown by the friends of
M. Dupin to 31. Yon.
Lists of new ministers are handed about, but they are
not worthy of credit.
The Five per Cents fell below 94f.

M. Guizot has been elected President of the Academy
of Incriptions and Belles Leitres, and M. de Wailly Vice
President.
The President of the Republic has accepted the invita-
tion of the Archbishop of Paris to dine with him on the
Bth instant, The Ministers and other public functionaries
are also invited to meet the President.
On new year's eve an elderly maiden lady was murdered,
in Paris, by a man who was entrusted to pay sonic money
to her for literary contributions. Another elderly female
livieg with her was also left for dead by the misercant,
but fortunately she was living when found and is likely to
I recover. The scoundrel is in prison.
THE WEST INDIES.--By the Arctic, via New York,
we have advices from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 12th ult.
The cholera had quite subsided in Port Royal and St.
Catherine's. In Kingston the cases were few, and the
hospitals contained few patients. In the country districts,
however, it was raging violently, and numbers were being
carried off. The details are very distressing.. Great efforts
were being made to reiieve the sufferers from cholera at
Kingston. Business of all kinds was stagnant.
ANOTHER BRIDGE OVER THE NIAGARA FALLS.—We
understand that the Niagara Suspension-bridge Company
intend to erect, next season, a suspension foot-bridge
across the Niagara river, between their present bridge and
the Falls. The new bridge will be considerably longer, of
course, than the present one, and the transit upon it will
be one of the most agreeable adventures of visitors to the
great cataract. The company will apply for a chte:ter at
the ensuing session of the Legislature.—Rochester Ad-
vertiser.

TEE UNKNOWN AUTHORS.—At length the veil has
been drawn aside t hat shrouded the mystery of the rela-
tionship of the Bells. Many were the conjectures afloat.
Some said they were not of kin at all : others that they
were "three gentlemen at once," like Cerberus—Currer
Bell, the author of " Jane Eyre," being the same under
different names, that works of youth might not jeopardise
the fame of maturer years. Now the authoresie -

The tenant pays the wages, the poor-rates. the way-rates,
the church-rates, the county-rates, and the tithes ; and,
directly or indirectly, he is the assessor of all but the last
two. Add to these payments rents and taxes, and the
numerous small tradesmen who live on the tenant-farmer,
and he presents himself in the light of the universal pay-

master. In half-an-hour's walk from almost every mar-
