OWN  PARIS, FRIDAY EVLKING.  The Tribunal of Correctional Police has had a field day with the prow The editor of the paper called the Revue Mumicipale was sentenced this morning to a month's imprisonment and a fine of 100 fr. for an article held to be political, whereas the journal in question was not authorised to talk politics. The Revue Municipale is, moreover, suppressed; I am afraid there must be scandal about M. Ilaussmann and the City funds. After this M. Poulet-Malassis, the author or translator, and M. Jouaust, the printer of tho pamphlet called " L'Empereur Napoleon et le Roi Guillaume," which contained a letter mistakenly attributed to the Emperor, were severally fined 500 fr. and 200 fr., a lenient sentence, in consideration of their being the innocent victims of a hoax. The next case called, and the conclusion of which I do not yet know, was that of the Courrier du Dimanche and M. Eugene Pelletan, prosecuted for an article 11 desiring for Fromm, in some respects, "Liberty as is Austria."  Something must be out of order to-day in M. Imhaus' bureau of guidauce for public opinion, since neither the Pays nor the Pattie have any " latest news." I hear that M. Imbaus met with • rebuff the other day from the Consiitutionnel to which he and his predecessors have been little accustomed. He was instructed to furnish the  Constitute/mid with au article ready cut and dried, which was expected to be signed by some man of 'draw, and inserted as a matter of course. Dr. Verou, however, showing the " independence" which he put In the foreground (together with "devotion") when he lately assumed the direotiuu of the paper, positively refused to be dictated to, and so the matter stands for the present. The Bourse was very calm. Rente roes 10c. for cash and sc. fur account, closing at 67fr. 20e. in each case. 3lobilier rose 3fr. 750. IJA railways there was little change. The only security in which there was much activity was the Italian Loan, which rose 550., malicious rumours that no interest would be paid having been contradicted. Bellisr's Correspondeseesays, thu evening :  At Tombs all the ships of the squadron have been rw pahred and inn ready to put to ewe at a inornent's notion.

The Emperor yestenlay honoured the Count and Countess de Persigny with a visit at their oonntry house at Chatuaraude.  When M. de Laprade delivered his last lecture at the Lyons College,sthe ball was unusually crowded, the report of the professor's dismissal having spread rapidly through the town. The person most interested was the only one who did not know the news. M. de Laprade walked down to the college with a newspaper under his arm, which be had not opened. It was only on the steps of the hall, on going out, that be learned from a friend the unpleasant fact that his lampoon on the government had oust him 6,000 fr. a year. The mail-cart which runs between Baint-Germer and Beauvais was attacked on the 17th by one or more highwaymen, who ransacked the letter-bags and murdered the driver. The horse came through the streets of Beauvais with a loose rein, and stopped of himself at the door of the post-office. A porter, supposing the driver to be asleep, got into the cart, and found him lying dead iu a pool of blood. His brains were blown out by a charge of shot, which must have been fired close to Lim, as it made a round hole in the skull like one from a bullet, and be had another wound in the back. The letters found in the bags had been out open, and, no doubt, whatever money they contained was stolen. Au individual has been arrested on suspicion of beihg concerned iu the murder.
