TRANSATLANTIC STEAMERS The Paris Constitutional
says instructions some tune back sent TO our dneen
eonsuls to collect such statistical information might be
useful in throwing light questions connected with the
establishment Of the transatlantic steamers The replies

ter, and there results from them, amongst other acts
very curious scale Of the progression OF transit from he
different parts Of the world dating from 1915, the period

STEAM COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN HAyRE AND NEW
YORK Paris Constitutional says: A new obstacle
appears likely etard the decision which the council OIL
state has to come TO- on the propositions Of ths COM
pany offering TO undertake the correspondence between
Havre and New York This obstacle comes from riVal
ports such Bordeaux, where the accession OF import
ance that must fall to the share OF havre rom .n'S
pears that the ministry must expect strong resistance
from the representatives Of Bordeaux But before Havre
can enjoy all the advantages, which, certainly the cor
respondence with New York would confer it, II ought
be able receive us docks the four
destined for the service Every one is aware
that works OF this nature do not get on very RAPIDLY and
Bordeaux will have time enough to establish its cores
pondence before the transatlantic packets finished at
Havre. Besides, Bordeaux is warranted in complaining
as well as Marseiles of the delay executing the law OF
1910, relative to the transatlantic service"
ANOTHER EUROPEAN CoNGREss.-A rmor has been IN
circulation in France, that Louis Philippe has demanded
congress of the powers of Europe, with view to his
laying before them the whole OF the circumstances con-
necea with the Montpenser marriage and also the posi-
ton which, consequence of that marriage he hnds
himself placed with the other courts OF Europe espe
cally the of St James The king OF the French,

cessation OF that friendship which has long subssted
between France and this country and in the perpetuahon
of which there will be found the best If not the only
guarantee for the preservation OF the European peace
He expresses himself both panied and surprised at the
circumstance of grave accusation as that OF pur
suing perfdious reference to the Spanish
rages being preferred against him by the government of
Queen Victoria
| BANK OF FRANCE.-The condition of the Bank OF
France has caused considerable discussion lately
tary circles. Owing drain OF bullion, caused by the
enormous purchases of grain from other countries, the
Bank OF France requires assistance from the Bank of Eng
land. which is the readily conceded as she gave
aid few years back to the Bank OF England under CIR
cumstances dissmila The only point raised is,
how shall the aid be rendered lin silver gold, BY
bills Of exchange 1t that the present state OF the
exchanges requires that the loan be made in silver bullion
1t will Be profitable, it is said, to send silver than
gold but some writers think that bills OF exchange TO
the required amount, would be the plan least likely to
disturb the financial operations OF either country The
amount has been stated at two millions sterling
