EXPRKSB FROM PARIS.  (mom ors OWN coasisroxarrr.) PARLS, SIMIAN Evzsiso.  I have reason co believe that the French government is disposed to favour the design attributed to M. de Bismarck of throwing overboard the Duke of Auguatenburg, and annexing Southern SleswigHolstein to the t'ruesian crown, on condition that the boundary line shall be revised, and all that part of Sleswig which may be fairly oousidered Dan. ish, restored to Denmark. The leading idea of this arrangement, so far as concerns France, would be the humiliation of Austria. In order to put au end to the students' rows at the lectern on political economy, M. Duruy yesterday made • decree reciting that whereas the schoolroom would only hold 600, while 2,00. d pressed for admission, and 01 mac gclirable to assure the benefit of these lectures to all students successively, and declaring that only students of the third year should have a right to attend—for the present the rtudenta of the eligible class must show their certificates to obtain admission. Thu real cause of the recent disturbances is nos disclosed by this decree. The ire of the students was excited nut by the fact that the lecture-room would only hold 600 people, for, to say the truth, most ofithem care very little about political economy, but because the funds for supporting the new chair were diverted from that of M. Renan, which is suppressed. If it were really supposed that 2,000 students wished to attend lectures on political eeonomy, the obvious remedy for the existing evil would be to provide a larger locality, and not to put off a great manyyoung men for two years, which will be the effect of the present decree. It would be of small use, however, to build, buy, or hire a new room, which would certainly be deserted when the present effervescence shall have subsided. The correctional tribunal of Lille yesterday tried a score of persons charged with taking part in a great theatrical row, which was the occasion of much local excitement. Three or four of the defendants were sentenced to short terms of imprisonment, and all were fined from If. to 41. One of the defendants thus visited is an old journalist, M. N. Destigny, an Orleauist before the coop d'att, but now the very loyal editor of the government journal, the Minioria/ de Lille.  M. Mocquard's life is despaired of. Re is at this moment covered with blisters and poultices, and has been insensible for the last two days. Till lately he has been so well preserved tbat it will probably be a surprise to many to learn that the Emperor's secretary is 75 years old. Mr. Dayton's funeral is fixed for Tuesday. After a service in the American chapel, Rue de Berri, the body, which Las been embalmed, will be sent to Ilarre, there to be embarked by the first vessel for New York.  A fire broke out yesterday at the Ministry of War, but was soon got under. The only serious damage mentioned is the destruction of several papers relating to fortifications.  General and Mrs. Torn Thumb have arrived in Paris and are staying at the Hotel du Louvre, where they receive select visitors.  There can be now no doubt whatever of the suicide of Dr. Demme and Miss Flora 'Frumpy. Thu Italian journals It Morintent. and It Potato Italian() contain full particulars. After leaving Milan they went to an English hotel or boardinghouse, called the Casa Gropello, in the little town of Nervi, near Genoa. At noon, on November 30, the landlord finding that they did not leave their bedroom, and having knocked several times without getting an answer, broke open the door, in the presence of • magistrate. Dr. Demme was found dead on the bed, and Miss Flora also dead, stretched on the floor. Some accounts say they were bathed in blood, but the Swiss Consul at Genoa telegraphs that they committed suicide by poison. Their bodies were publicly exposed in the Nervi market-place, under the guard of two carabineers. In the bedroom war found a paper, written by Dr. Demme, containing Lis name and that of Miss Flora Trutnpy, and the address of his father. A telegram was immediately sent to Berne, and the directions of the relatives were awaited for the disposal of the bodies. This extraordinary couple, who thus accomplished the suicide which a fortnight before they threatened to perpetrate in the Lake of Geneva, had spent all their motley. Only a few coppers were found on Dr. Demme's person. The paper left mentioned their intention to destroy themselves, but assigned DO cause.  REITRN or
