The Express. — 1855-10-12 (London, England)

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.  pant ova OWN  PARIS, TZUZIDAY Sysmu,.  The Bourse was very flat, in consequence principally of the measures expected to be taken by the Bank of France, to which I alluded yesterday. I have not yet heard the result of the meeting of the Bank Directors this day. There is a report that the meeting separated without making any change. The Rents closed at 64fr. 450., with a fall of se. Very little business was dons throughout the day. Bank of France fell 30fr., and Credit Mobilier &fr. Railways were rather lower, but there was very little change in quotation. A telegraphic despatch, dated Cagliari, Oct: 10, says :—" The laying down of the submarine telegraph between Cagliari and the coast of Africa has been I interrupted by the breaking of the cable. The English ship the Result, which was employed in the service, returns with the cable to Ragland. It is probable that the establishment of this telegraphic line must be postponed to a more favourable season."  M. Erdan, a redacteur of the Press., wee sometime since sentenced to eight days' imprisonment and a fine of 100 fr. for a libel on the Catholic religion, alleged to be contained in his work La France Mystique. The Procurenr-General, not being satisfied with this light punishment, appealed a minima (a proceeding allowed by French law). The appeal was heard to-day, and M. Erden has bent sentenced to • year's imprisonment and a fine of I,ooofr.  In the Dade, Colonel St. Aoge gives the following aocount of the probable intentions of Marshal Pelissier :  The corped'arsee of Sepatoria esastitutes, although at • &stases, the eztreaie left of the general system of opentioas of the Allies. This eorpe nausea@ both the rigla of the Russians sad the Dent» of their oommunications with  southern Ramie, from which they obtain their supplies in the Crimea. Their army before Sebastopol maintains for the present its right at the northern forts, its centre in the fortifications of the Mackenzie height., opposite the lower course of the Tokenism and its left on the heights above Tchorgoun. which are occupied by the Piedmotatese. But this left appears at present greatly menaced by the moremeats of t►e right wing of the Allies in the mountain, of Balder. The only elements of appreciation which we yet possess are the despatches of Ge I Gortehakoff, the last of which is dated the 6th. Re first of all spoke of engagements of the vanguard towards Urkoaisa, or Ruilkacata according to the maps, a village situated above Radar, and said that our advanced posts had bean ',palmed by the Cossacks; then he announced that that place remained in our power ; then that the Allies had, on the 22nd ult., an engagement with his intenuf sod that they retired towards the same Urkoussa ; and afterwards that the Allies, having come down from the mountains, had forced themselves a passage—an logenious expression to dissimulate some combat in which the Rcasians were driv. a from their position. Fleetly, under date the 4th, the Rtosian general announces that the Allies were extending titer operations from the mounteins of Balder to the valley cf the Upper Setback; Lod according to another despatch of the same General, of the 6th, our troops had left the Upper Setback. Thus then they had only gone solar as to make a recon• naissana Bat this sole indicatioa denotes a marked pro. grass of the Allies oa the lett wing of the Russians to surround them. The Bethink in fact lows at three or four leagues to the rear of Mackenzie. We do not know to what part of the valley of the Upper Dalbeck they went, but it may be supposed that it was to Harlon, opposite Fott Sal., because there exists there a road which crosses the mountains of Balder to that village. It is eves to be noted that from Foti Bala the road rues oa the right book of the Setback, to join the high road from Sebastopol to Simpheropol at a phase named Rhator-Traktir (the Inn farm), It is the road which the Tartar of the southern legion were accustomed to take to reach lisktchi-tterai. As the Ras siens no doubt still occupy the village of Ai-Todor, at the rise of the Choulios, which falls into the Tobernsys at Tcho►goun, and the village of Charall-Ozenstak, the Allies will probably not attempt to establish themselves on the Upper Balbach before having driven the enemy from AiTodor and the other position—if that is to form part of the plan of Marshal Pelissier to prolong Ms right wing to the BelWek. General Gortchakoif lastly announces th►t the Allies have removed their troops from their right. between Balsklava and the Tether:nye. Trail is very well explained by the movements  which we have just described. The Russians will not attempt to advance in that direction (where, by the way, them are reeerms), because then they would sepias themselves to be taken in the mu by one right wing. However this may be, all the right wing of the army has taken poa-61116i011 of the mountains situated between Haider, the Chouliou, and the Belbeck, on the extreme left of the Hussies army. It is even fortifying itself in the most important passages, in arming redoubts on commanding positions, and is forming reads to facilitate the arrival of provisions and ammunition. These measures seem to indicate tcst the army thinks of establishing 'Melt during the bed season on the Sae from Sebastopol to the Upper Bethink.  The Commissary of Pollee of the district of the Opera yesterday proceeded, in conjunction with some gentlemen of the Administration, to make the monthly inventory of the effects of the Grand Opera; and on going below the stage, a strong smell was perceived, and something resembling a lay figure was seen suspended. This figure tuned oat to be the dead body of a man hanging by the neck from a beam, and in which putrefaction had commenced. The deceased, being cut down, was recognised as a scene shifter of the establishment, one Charles It—, thirty-one years of age. Ho had long been accustomed to drink to excess, and hsd often spoken of suicide. On Sunday morning last he went to a publio-bonee with several other sceneshifters, and drank brandy with them. After a while he drained off a glass-fall, and said " Thin is the last." He then shook his companions by the hand, and went away, as it now appears, to hang himself A eurious circumstance, which showe that popular superstitions have lost little of their fora, occurred after the di►covery of the body. The rope which the man used was left by the Commissary of Police on a stool, and when he sought for it he found that the chorussingers and the ballet people had cut it into bits and divided it amongst themselves. A pion of a cord. de pendu is supposed to bring good lack.
