THE STOCK EXCHANGE IN LONDON
AND IN PARIS.

In London the board Of brokers who mo-
nopolize the business Of the exchange, do not
permit strangers or outsiders to pass into their
premises; and if, by accident or otherwise, a
non-member passes the doors, he is attacked
on all sides by the brokers, and driven out.
They generally begin by knocking off his hat,
pulling the tail of his coat; and, if he does not
disappear in great haste, kick and cuff is
sure to be his fate. nit
In Paris, it is altogether different, open to
every one, even to ladies who attend. Made
moiselle Mars, the great tragic actress, was a
regular attendant; and from the gallery, where
the ladies stand, she would, with her finger,
telegraph her watchful agent below as to her
bids on the different stocks offered. Jews are
the principal actors on both exchanges. Bull.
wer, in his book on Paris and the Parisians,
says that the French are quite as sincere as
the English, and with vastly better manners.

A GREvIoUs ERROR.

One would conclude from the following para
graph extracted from the Augusta Maine Age,
that there is not in the broad limits ofths great
country one solitary man, woman, or child who
is not opposed to the Nebraska bill. The para
graph is as follows:
Who wants the compromise of 1920 re-
pealed? Not the country, for it desires repose.
Not the democratic party, for it is solemnly
pledged to resist the renewed agitation OF
slavery under all guises and pretexts. Not
the north nor the south, for the honor of each
is pledged to the other to maintain the present
happy condition Of affairs intact Why then,
should this question, which everybody depre-
Gates, be forced upon the attention Of Congress
and the country. No satisfactory answer can
be given.n hsa f
1t is to be presumed that when the Age hears
Of the triumphant passage through the Senate
of this bill, it will find out, that it is not de.
precated" by everybody 1t will find ou,
that the democratic party" is in favor of it
and that it challenges the appreciation Of both
the "north and the South

aa- The debate on the Nebraska bill in tn

BT The debate on the Nebraska bill in the
Senate on Friday night was very able and in
teresting. Although it continued until half
past four o'clock in the morning, the interest
Of the large number Of persons in the galleries
was kept up to the last. The closing speech
ioft Senator Douglas is universally regarded as
the most mastery Of his many able efforts.
The Globe of yesterday evening says that the
debate during the last two days and nights,
Thursday and Friday will make at least one
hundred columns in that paper, and that before
its publication it will be submitted to the speak
ers for revision asagaB@ 9,1li4 q Ilo1s

Gus questions OF civil. common, international,

do, upon nearly every subject of civil poty and

scarcely inferior in Importance 10 the Constitution

sickness from which he has been suffering for
the past two weeks, he came over from his resi-

Of the vote, But the session Of the Senate was

was SO severely taxed, that he was compelled to

The Washington Aqueduct.--we understand

The Washington Aqueduct.-- We understand
that, notwithstanding the unusually heavy snow
Of last month"; considerable progress has been
made with the work of the Aqueduct. About $50
men have been employed during the month.
Three headings have been commenced in the
first two tunnels, and in all, about one hundred
and fifty feet in length of these tunnels are I'm
ished. The rock proves 10 be very hard and will
stand without arching.
A rock-cut is being excavated for the passage oi
the acqueduct under the canal near the falls. BY
working night and day with relays of men this cut
was excavated to such a depth 10 allow a
wooden trunk for the temporary accommodation
of the navigation of the canal to be constructed.
The trunk is of timber, and is eight feet deep,
twenty feet wide, and about forty feet long. Il
built in the short time during which the water
of the canal was drawn off for repairs, and com
peted on the very day appointed for filing the
canal again.
The excavation and grading of the two miles OF
the aqueduct near the falls have been gong on.
Several tracts Of land through which the aque-
duct will pass have been appraised by juries, and
preparations made for putting the greater part Of
the line under contract as soon as Congress ap-
propriates the money. 5att&t
1t is to be hoped that the appropriation will not
be long delayed, as this is the most favorable sea
son for operations, and the loss Of this spring and
summer would delay the complaG6n of the work
for whole year. We understand that the sum
Of money on hand is TOO small justify contracts
