PARIS, TIFESDAT ETXIUNO.  The news of the vote which must necessarily sweep away the Aberdeen Ministry produced suprisingly small effect at the Bourse. The rents at no period of the day fell more than 40c. from yesterday. It recovered towards the close, finishing at 67.80, with a full of only 13c. Some of the railways declined 10t., bu•, upon the whole, securities were wonderfully welt sustained.  The Austrian general who I informed you was coming to Paris as a military commissioner at the court of Napoleon 111.. is stated to-day in the Moniecur to be Genet al Count de Crenneville. A Russian telegraphic despatch, dated St. Petersburg this day, Jan. 30, and given of course " with all reserve," states that " Prince Mentchikoff writes from the Crimea, under date of Jan. 22: In the night of 19th to 20th we made a sortie against the left flank and centre of the French trenches, which was completely successful. The enemy (the allies) suffered greatly. Two officers and several soldiers were made prisoners. Having need of fuel, our adversaries did not even respect the ancient temple of Chersonestle. They took off the roof and the cupola, and burnt several of the internal ornaments."  An Imperial decree nominates as ladies of the palace to the Empress the Countess de Labkdojere, Countess de la Poeze, Countess de Lourmel, Countess de Itsyneval, Mme. do Saucy, and Mine. de Smiley. Among the new ladies of honour to the Empress, appointed to-day, the army will see with pleasure the name of the Countess de Lonrmel, the widow of the young and heroio general who met his death, under the walls of Sebastopol. This appointment was made at the immediate request of the Empress. A fifth battery of artillery of the Imperial Guard is now being organised, each of the other regiments of artillery having to furnish 20 privates, one corporal, one sub-officer, and one bugleman. These are all to be picked men. The detachments of 75 men from each regiment of infantry, which had been ordered to leave on the 20th for the East, have received counter-orders. They will not now leave until the beginning of next mouth, but us they will proceed by the most rapid conveyances' they will reach the Crimea u promptly as if they had taken their departure when first ordered.  The Consist utionnel says : "Rear-Admiral FehvrierDespointes, who commanded the French squadron in the Pacific and in the affair at Petropauloweki, has, it is said, been reca'led. He will be replaced by M. Fourichon, lively Governor of French Guyana. The latter officer is replaced, u Major-General at Brest, by M. de Chabannes, who commanded the Charlemagne in the bombardment of Sebastopol, when the allied troops made their first attack. Rear-Admiral Lugeol is, it is said, to be replaced in Greece by Commandant Baudin."  Admiral Dundee, arrived last evening in Paris, and alighted at the Hotel Mirabeau. An extraordinary assembly of literary men followed the body of poor Gerard de Nerval to the grave this morning. The funeral was conducted by the Societe des Gene de Lettres with the concurrence of the Minister of State. M. Francis Wey, the president of the society, in a speech over the coffin, said that Gerard de Nerval issued to the public an ill-considered page, never, even when struggling with necessity, sacrificed his convictions or his innate good taste, and that his name would assuredly be honoured by posterity. There were at least 508 mourners present. M. de Nerval, although not rich, was not in any such desperate pecuniary position as to have committed suicide on that account. He had been more than once in a lunatic asylum, and was doubtless deranged when he destroyed himself. M. Victor Luzarche, an eminent antiquary, has just published a drama of the 12th century in AngloNorman lately discovered among the manuscripts in the public library at Tours, and said to be the earliest known play written in any French dialect. The Poles residing at Lyons caused a funeral mass to be celebrated on Saturday, in the cathedral of that city, to the memory of the late Lord Dudley Stuart. Count de Germiny, having been nominated governor of the company of Credit Foncier, has resigned the post of Regent of the Bank of France; and in the recent general meeting of the Bank shareholders M. Guilhem, receiver-general of the Nord, was appointed to succeed him.  In consequence of the great amount of heavy traffic on the Northern Railway for some months past, it is in contemplation to have locomotives of immense power pat on the line, capable of carrying from 600 to 600 tons. These gigantic engines would be placed on 12 wheels, in order to divide the weight more ' equally. It is also intended, should the plan of introducing theme powerful locomotives be carried out, to employ, in future, rails of 42 kilog. whenever any part of the line requires renewal in that time. Letters from Algiers of the 25th ult. announce the arrival in that port of the Inflexible, the Breslau, and the Tone, ships of the line, of the frigates Didon and Labrador, and of the steamer the Tenger. These vessels were about to sail for the Crimea with two battalions of the 86th, detachments of the 100th, a detachment of the 4th foot chasseurs (riflemen), and some offiara, also with 25 horses and a number of mules. On the 19th the Reins Hortense, steam frigate, having in tow an English vessel freighted with wooden houses for the army in the Crimea, arrived at Algiers; but she only stayed a few minutes, to receive despatches.
