The SUBSCRIPTION TO THE FRENCH LoAY.-The
Paris correspondent of the National MteIligencer
says:
Operations in connexon with the new loan of
500, 100000 were begun on the 7th at the Minis
try of Finance and at the different branch bureaus;
there being thirtythree repositories in Paris for
the reception of subscriptions. At day break every
one of them had been thronged, and long files of
subscribers, three deep, extended down the ada
cent streets. In the rue de Rivoi yesterday saw
800 individuals, old and young, women and men,
waiting patiently their turn to make deposit OF
their earnings Nothing could be more expressive
of confidence in the Government, and | am assured
by friend long cogniZant of financial events that
the people would bring to the bureaus in this
ner, if opportunity were afforded them, ten times
the amount desired. Throughout the Empire the
same confidence is manifest. In various towns and
departments the receivers general have been
obliged to open additional bureaus.
An English publicist has been at great pains to
persuade his countrymen not to purchase shilling
of the loan. 1t is most likely indeed that not
shilling of it can be bought out of France. Yester-
day 400 persons in the queue along the Rivo street
failed to reach the bureau. These things in France
contrast strongly with the state of affairs in Aus
tria, where large loan is ordered also; but since
it is impossible present to contract it, the Nation
al Bank of Vienna will advance tenth part of the
nominal value in notes. The same order ex-
empts the bank from meeting the notes by specie
payments but requires excise duties to be thence
forward paid in silver or in payable coupons of the
national loan. The transaction is the counterpart
of the forced contributions which she EFFORTS from
the people of Sardinia.
The correspondent of the Journal of Commerce
SAYS:
The crowd of subscribers to the loan has increased
so much that three Offices have been opened
to-day. Measures have also been taken to admit
subscribers for 100 francs rentes and over, at sepa
rate offices, it being found impossible to penetrate
through the mass of pes renters of 10 francs who
press around the Bureau.
MONUMENT TO COMMODORE PERRY.-The Ohio State
Journal gives the following description of the Mon
ument to Commodore Perry, which is to be placed
on Gibraltar Rock in Put-in-Bay:
The base is about thirty feet square, from which
rises square block, having the entrance to the
column and supporting panel on which Will be
cut in bas relief that most glorious event in the
history of Perry, when he quilted the dismantled
Lawrence, and passed in a small boat through the
fire of the enemy to another ship.
The next important feature Of the monument
will be the broadside of ofwar with its portl
boles and cannon protruding; and above this will
rise the lofty column, representing the mast of a
vessel, the top surrounded with sea Shells among
which is placed the cap of the monument, formed
with the prOws of four shi ps. This will be the
striking feature of the monument-the prows with
their cutwaters and figure-heads making the cor
ners of mastery Corinthan capital From the
centre of the capital will rise the crown, ship's
capstan, and upon the whole stands statue of Per
ry, fifteen feet high.
The small island on which the monument will be-
placed is three hundred feet broad, and twelve
hundred feet long, shaped like coffin, and a
equal distances from the sides and upper end is the
highest point, rising forty feet above the water
solid rock The monument will be one hundred
and sixty feet high, which, with the forty of the
island, gives an altitude of two hundred feet.
