FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
FINANCIAL PANIC IN FRANCE.


1877. The last straw came from
Lyons when the failure of the bank of
Lyons & Loire was announced. The
panic affected every stock and share
in the market.
London, January 2o.-A Paris dis
patch to the Times says: During the
panic Suez Canal shares fell us francs
and Bank of France shares 375 francs
A liquidator of the Bank Of Lyons and
Loire has been. appointed. At the
opening of the Paris Bourse this morn
ing nearly all leading securities were
lower, but at 1870 o'clock p. m. there
was decided rally; Suez Canal shares
improved 100 francs, and other shares
proportionate'y.
The panic on the Bourse causes a
greater sensation than the so-called
ministerial crisis. The sentiment on
February I is anticipated with anxiety.
GAMBETTA CONFIDENT.
Paris, January 2o.-Gambetta has
been urged by some of his friends to
tender his resignation Immediately. 1t
is stated he declared in reply that he
awaited the final issue with confidence.
Ministerial journals declare the cleo
ton of the committee on the revision
bill yesterday has completely altered
the aspect of the question at issue.
The main question now, they say, is
whether the revision of the constitution
is to be limited or integral. Gambetta
is pledged to limited revision. The
cabinet and committee are equally de-
sirous of prompt solution.
ANGLo-FRENcH TREATY.
London, January 2o.-A Paris cor
respondent of the Times says: The
French government has forwarded to
Lord Lyons, British ambassador, a
statement of the extreme of conclusions
it is prepared to make on the catego-
ries disputed in the commercial treaty.
They amount to from 50 to 80 per
cent. of the English demand.
PRUssIAN HOLY LEAGUE.
London, January 2o.-The St. Pc
tersburg. correspondent of the Times
telegraphs: 1t is said that the holy
league, which was recently formed to
counteract nihilism will be officially
recognized as a branch of the police.
This will be perhaps even more unpop-
ular than the reconstruction of the
famous third section.
TO BE FURTHER DETAINED.
Dublin, January 2o.-Parnell and
O'Kelly, members of parliament, and
O'Brien, late editor of the United Ire
land, received last evening notice from
the governor of Kilmainham jail that
they have all been remanded for a
further period of three months.
FRENCH FINANCIAL CRISIS.
London, January 21.-A dispatch
from Paris says: The Union Generate
closed yesterday sixty francs higher
than on Thursday. The principal
French bank stocks are lightly i'm
proved or remained steady. The Times
this morning says it understands that
the president of the Union Generate
was obliged to apply for assistance to
leading firm of bankers in Paris, and
that the help he was thus afforded, to.
gether with considerable purchases
made, will render its position much
easier for the time being.
Paris, January 81. - The Lyons
branch of the Union Generate is be-
sieged. If the concern can meet its
engagements, mischief may be averted.
If it has bourse liabilities beyond its
power, still the worse must be expect
ed. Lyons brokers stopped payment,
and bankers held a meeting Friday
evening to consider the situation.
HAMBURG.
Berlin, January 21.-In the reichs-
tag to-day the clause OF the bill for the
incorporation of Hamburg M. Zoll-
verein, granting forty millions of marks
