: the benefit Of the French Senate, shows that
Paris and the environs now cover l9ouo Eng
fish acres. During the Ia last Mteen years ttes ne
mifes> Of streets have been opened, and abous
so miles are shaded by 955T trees. The Bols
de Boulogne covers M07 Engish acres; the
Bus de Vincennes 1000 acres; the Buttes de
Chaumont 62acres. Mont Souris, when tnlsh-
ed, will extend over As acres; and the pretty
fect nursery of flowers (and, indeed, Of babies),
extends over 20 acres. 1900 acres Of what may
be called depots Of fresh air are still leftln the

worse; the sham-aght perfect sham, SO iar M as as

! struggled, pushed. scrambled, broke ranks,
: and showed an utter want OF anything Like ef-
Sfective military discipline. The matter was
brought up m Parliament, and Lord Elcho de-
Tended and apologized for the volunteers; put
which any upprejudiced person is more eapa-
ble Of forming an opinion than Lord Elcho, who
himself commands q volunteer regiment.
Twenty years ago the brothers Pereire,
Emile and Isaac, we're poor men, not having
I, Two thousand pounds between them. They
possess, at the present moment, property In
: land aud houses amounting to three million
two hundred Thousand pounds sterling IN
: English money and four millions N shares In
commercial companies. All they possess has
been scquired during their direction OF the
/ Credit Mobiier, and the disasters caused by
: the collapse OF this huge undertaking are
widespread. No wonder the greatest anxiety
appeal of the company against the judgment
:of the Tribunaiof Commerce which decreed
that the conductors must repay the amount OF
the shares by which two years ago they
doubled the amount OF the capital. ..s
