AS matter of curiosity, should like TO know
how much the members of the cabinet made out
of the affair The intelligence arrived here on
Saturday. before the close of the Beurse, in the
shape of a private government tdiegraphic de-

falling the whole week. The ministers undoubt-

The new yacht MayAower, which has been
taking in her rigging at Havre, (she crossed the
Atlantic under jury masts,) left that port on Sa-
turday for Cowes. She is to take part in the
grand regatta there the 18th. She expects, as
you need not be told, to win the prize, did the
America in 1851. She is said to have beaten the
Maria, which beat the America. On leaving
Havre she gave the spectators taste of her quail
ty by executing some surprising maneuvres be-
fore very brisk wind. The Havrese think she
will get the cup, for cup is the prize. / sup
pose she will meet with rougher competition,
however, than did the America.
The differences between the city and the indi-
viduals appropriated for the passage of the Rue de
Rivoli continue to be amusing, and, in certain
points of view, instructive. The last series con-
sisted of ten houses. The city offered to the per-
sons it turned out 935,00Of; they claimed
2,O55 ,OOOf.; the jury of evaluaton allowed them

A painful scene occurred the other day at the
Arch of Triumph about dinner time in the after
noon The nvalde on duty at tho top of the
Arch was seen holding man who had attempted
to Jump off, and who was two-thirds suspended in
the air The strength of the invalid failing, he
was compelled to let 60 lest he should be dragged
over himself The man fell and was killed on
the spot; but, just before he was let loose, he
shouted to the people below to look out! On
searching him paper was found giving his name
and the motive for his suicide, which was having
been abandoned by his wife. Just as he fell, tht
balloon from the Hippodrome opposite went up
A little of its buoyancy would very materially
have helped the invalide to cling on to the des
perado and drag him up again.
The Charipari has good caricature on the pri-
vate telegraphic dispatches and other communi-
cations which have served as the basis of opn-
ions in the Russian affair. The Chariparis ntelli-

ming of the imbroglio: ~ a
Telegraphic Despatch.
VIENNA, Sd August.-The invitation to his ball
sent by the Emperor Nicholas to the French and
English Ambassadors has produced the best effect

Every day the political horizon becomes more
clear.

right-mnded men feel convinced that, after such
a mark of confidence, war is impossible.
Tho following letter, written to one of the prot
ticst actresses in Paris by of her comrades At
ST. Pctersburgh, was yesterday circulated at the
Boursc:
ssMY DEAR FRIEND You know that his ma
jesty, the Emperor Nicholas, frequently pays us u
visit behind the scenes of the French Theatre.
Yesterday after the first dance, his majesty did
me the honor to come to my box to compliment
me on the manner in which had Just danced.
My engagement, you are aware, is on the point
of expiring. The Emperor, alluding to this cir
cumstanco, condescended to say to me: 81 hope

war against France, and all French subjects will
be obliged to quit the Russian Empire See
