There is tremendous dear.h of intelligence of
any kind. ! feel myself at loss to manufacture a
letter that viii be worth while TO print. What
is called the season" here, in fashionable parlance,
10 just breaking up and every kind of news seems to
have "gone ont Of town. with the denizens OF the
West End"
Louis Napoleon is reported to be failing in health;
at all events, he has been ordered by his physicians
to leave Paris, and give up all business and excite
ment.
The Parliament is stil surviving; but its Lord
and master-the Prcmer-is doing his best to get
nd OF it. BY way of rendering the members OF Par
lament still more unfit for their work, he adjourns
them every now and then for some holiday excur-
sion-to see q naval review one day, or a military
display another-whch renders them unfit for le-
gslatve duty for a week before, and another after
wards, besides keeping them in good humor, which
caolery no one understands better than tina. sly old
fox, Lord Palr ers.on He is wonderfully given to
have his own way, and he viii rejoice a. the mo-
ment not far of, tina. will free him from Parlia-
mentary control
The Parliament has been in session near seven
months. aud besides voting away vast sumo OF
motey they have done little indeed nothing may
say, for the benefit Of the country. Many useful
measures have fallen through and are postponed 10

The season" has been very bad one Tor trade
OF all kinds, for seems the wealthy classes have
expended much less than usual. though the con-
trary was expected at the close Of tie war. Il
seems that al the world rich md poor, suffer-
ing from the heavy taxation nos existing in con-
sequence Of the war. In addition to the usual
weigh Of taxation. which In this country Is enor-
mously heavy, a double Mcome tax Is nov levied,
which takes ESQ from every $500. No wonder peo-
pie poan under such infections rs these.

Corn law and rotten boroughs.
For months past we have heard nothing bat the
difficulties with the United states discussed IN all
places and In oil ways. You could hardly take up
Newspaper without the United States staring you
in the face. After all this agitation has succeeded
the most sudden abandonment Of the topic, and for
ten days past we have not had an article in the
Times on tie familiar suhject-mird5le dictai

express annoyance at the bunging Of their own
government in bringing matters 10 such an unplea-
SAINT termination.

make.
There is a Minister here from Honduras, who has

The struggle between the rival Italian Opens this
