The Ne,o Coastitution- The Presidency, &c.
We have Just commenced another important
phase OF the revolution Of 1913. The new con-
stituton has been finally voted in Its ensemble, by
the National Assembly. This great event took
place about five o'clock on Saturday evening
When the vast importance which has been so long
attached to it Is conceded, and the protracted
debates to which il has gwen rise, 1t is astonish
ing with what indifference, not to say GOODNESS
this great national matter has been regarded. The
million of inhabitants of Paris neither knew nor
cared what the Assembly was debating about on
Saturday. The galleries were unusually empty
When the President finally declared that the con-
sttution was adopted in the name of the French
people, portion Of the representatives rose and
shouted Pare Ia Repubhquc. The majority were silent
galleries. Immediately afterwards NJ. Dufaure Minis
ter Of the Interior ascended the tribune and proposed
that the Assembly should retire into its bureaux for the
purpose Of appointing committee to confer with the
government the manner in which the proclamation
Of the constitution should be publicly solemnized
This being ssTssa TO- the Assembly ~isnapsw aas an
order sent to the Invsdes to fire 1o1 guns to an
nounce the great fact to the capital. There guns

The Bourse and Money Market.
The funds, which, for month past, have re-
mair ed nearly stationary, spite of the numerous
causes of fuctuaton which have occurred, have
fallen, during this week, in an alarming manner.
The purchases for money, which for long time,
have kept prices steady, have suddenly ceased and
this, with stock thrown on the market, have low
cred quotations.
During the two last days OF the month, the SELL
trs, instead Of re-purchasing, have carried over
their accounts to the end OF the month, which may
be considered as proof that the market will con-
unue Ats downward tendency during the month OF
November.
