600. Most OF these companies have their headquar
tiers at San Francisco.

A CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE has transpired in Paris,
in the of the investig arising out of the
Patterson trial, which may compromise the legiti-
macy of the Count de Chambord, better known as
Henry the Fifth. The Counts father, the Duke de
Berri, was like Prince Jerome, married twice, and
both his wives living when the Count was
born In fact, the cases are exactly parallel, and
the Count is the issue of the second marriage
by the Duchess de Berri, while Miss Browne, the
first wife, was unacknowledged. 1t is now stated
that the register of the marriages at the French
Chapel in London has been tampered with, no
doubt at the suggestion of Louis the Eighteenth,
Just in the same way that the entry of the Empress
Josephine's marriage with Napoleon was tampered
with, when that potentate was anxious to get di.
vorce from Rome. This discovery cannot fail to
have serious effect the state of parties in France.
1t will tell at all events in favor of the younger
branch of the Bourbons, represented by the child
| rem of Louis Philippe. Who knows but the pro-
| ceedings in the Patterson case purposely in
stituted for the very object of bringing this fact
prominently before France and the world?
While firing a salute in honor of the raising of a

The FRENCH OCCUPATION OF SYRIA.-The Paris
correspondent of the Times, writing m the Goth,
says: The news from Syria is said by official per-
sons to be very grave, and fresh massacres are ap
pretended. The French Government has greatly
at heart to proong the occupation beyond the term
fixed by the convention with the Porte, and moth
ing would be left untried to attain it, The Turkish
Ambassador, Ahmed Vefyk Effendi,i is returning to
Constantinope, and had bis audience of the French
Emperor on Sunday. He is strongly opposed to
the French occupation, and has therefore earned
the enmity of this government. A telegram from
COnstantinople, dated the 9th, announces that
Veil Pacha is appointed Ambassador to Paris. The
Paris correspondent of the Daily Ne,os writing on
the 9th, says:-lt is rumored that Lord Dufferin
has resigned his commission in Syria, and that in
consequence the English Government wishes to
postpone the conference which has been announced
but that France insists upon the conference meetirg

know at least fifteen days beforehand what resolu-
tions are taken with reference to the proongation

REVENUE AND TAXATION OF ENGLAND.-The whole
net revenue of England for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1850, amounted to Ell, l,967, ,495-about
equal in round numbers, to $3.50, $1,000. This is
but the net amount. The cost of collection, est-
mated at an average of per cent, would make
the gross amount of English taxation Ell 70O 900,
or S38S, 100000, to be paid by population smaller
poorer. This vast amount is raised thus Customs,

Yet, immense as this amount is, it falls short
nearly three millions pounds of meeting the years

with China will cost England S75,000,000. In re-
turn for which she gets indemnity to the amount of
S7,500,000, in instaments running on for several
years. This is profitable speculation for John
