Ycferday afternoon we received Paris
papers to the I'D init. which announce the
meeting of the Legislative body on the
proceeding day the irft object intended
Tor their difcullion is the civil code.
AS oar paper was about to be put to

tains an cRiSial view of the preient iitu-
alton of the Republic, prepared for abe
Legislative body, to whom It is TO be
conveyed by three of the msmbels.
The important and curious paper is fign-
by Bonapatte its fubfAnce is as fol-

1t begins by complimenting the fenate
on the increasing indufry of the Repub-
lie, and the union amonga its Citizens.
/" The execution of the Concordat, on the
refuIt ofwhich the enemies of public Or

been productive Of the mof happy effects.
The priocipel of an enlightened religion,
the voice of the Sovereign Pontiff and
the frmnels Of government, have triumph

offered by the Manhattan Bank were more
bepe fetal than thole acceded TO by the
government. A very fnort fatenent
demonfrates the petition. The profit
allowed TO Mr.. Barring vas 10 dollars on
each bank Share and TWO Dividends
amounting to the fun ofll9,86o dollars.
In confederation of this allowance, Mr..
Barring undertook to pay IN Amtterdam
1887, 600 dollars at Al cents the guilder.
The Manhattan Bank, without any other
profit, offered to pay the fame fun in Am
iierdanl at - cents the guiider. The dit
ference is two cents the guilder, which Is
lels than per cent. Bat calculating the
difference at s per cent. it. amounts only
to theium Of 81, $50 dolls. The profit al
| lowed TO Mr.. Barring was Il9,SSo dolls. AS
the Manhattan Bank offered 10 take the con
tract at 1880 dollars, their terms were
| of conieqoence S. 900 dollars lower than
| ,hols accepted. Why was this fun OF
money thrown away The iolidity OF
the Bank, or their competency to perform
/! the operation was not doubted. And yet
| the government have preferred to give
| ss,soo dollars more than the Bank de-.
| nlanded, to an individual TO undertake to
| make the remittance.
! Thus, we have feen that the COM
