REIGN INTELLIGENCE.  FRANCE.  PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The ceremony of the "reconciliation" of the Church of St. Etienne du-Mont, which, in a catholie point of view, was " polluted " by the murder of the Archbishop, so as to unfit it for public Worship until purification, was performed to-day. Monseigneur Bonneehose, the Bishop of Evreux, presided at the ceremony. An immense crowd attended, less, it must be said in truth, out of respect for the religious rites, than out of curiosity to see the spot on which the archbishop fell, and Which, the church having been closed since the assassination, the public have not yet seen. The ceremony commenced by blessing the water destined for the purification. The Miserere was then Chanted, and during the psalm the Bishop of Evreux, followed by M Surat, the Archdeacon of St. Genevieve ; M Eglee, vicar general ; MetroPolitan Master of the ceremonies, the Chapter of St. Genevieve, and the clergy of St. Etienne du Mont, proceeded to the exterior of the church, Where the bishop threw the previously blessed Water upon the walls. Up to this time only the clergy above mentioned had been admitted to the interior of the church. The crowd of priests and laity who attended unofficially, waited outside. After the sprinkling of the water, the black hangings were taken down, and the doors thrown open. Litanies were then sung, the bishop blessed water, salt, ashes, and wine, and sprinkled them in the interior of the church- He'then headed a procession to the spot in the nave where the murder was committed. While this was going on, the altars, which, when the doors were opened, had been completely denuded, were decorated with their usual ornaments, and the consecrated wafers, which had been carefully removed from the church, or any holy place appurtenant to it, to a building in the neighbourhood, were brought back and placed in the usual receptacle on the high altar for the adoration of the faithful. The Bourse has been very good. The Rente rose 40c for cash, and 45c for account ; closing at 68f and 68f 30c. Mobilier fluctuated a good deal, and closed with a fall of 51. The Orleans Railway rose 20f ; Grand Central, 20f; Western, 10f; and other lines about sf. All European affairs being supposed to be comfortably settled, and the poor Archbishop of Paris being quietly interred, the stirring event of this Week in Paris is likely to be the arrival of Ferukh'.nan, the Persian Ambassador, who is expected here ?n Wednesday. He comes with a following of some hundred persons, among whom, according to report, /,.1,4,13 many of the most influential personages in Teheran. England is at war with Persia; Persia has- invoked the aid of Russia against England ; France and Russia are not only on most friendly terms, but if we may credit some of the very latest news from St. Petersburg, are on the point of conelf.ncling an intimate alliance, with the express view ra. ore °L Checking English influence in the world, and Particularly in the East. Under these eilrournstances, the brilliant reception which that feairned Persian, Ferukh-Khan, who is so wonderullY well read in Greek history, is likely to receive /!t the Tuilleries, cannot but be regarded with e?core than ordinary interest. It must not, how_liver, be expected that until the fulness of time a Ming will transpire officially to throw the vslightest doubt upon the heartiness of the Anglo. .!enoh alliance, which has lately been demon• the in so striking a manner by the settlement of two disputed treaty, and the common action of the Lwo2_ Powers in the affair of Neufchatel. t.The publication of the marriage of Count de .fv.t_ °my with Mdlle. Troubeskoi, which the French French requires in the case of the marriage of a t'.._rench subject abroad, has b ,en posted at the Alayoralty of the 6th Arrondissement. The French episcopal bench has just lost .another of its members. Mgr. d'Aramoles, Archbishop of Aix, in Provence, expired on the oth, at e archiepiscopal palace, shortly after having received extreme unction.
