I storm."—Sisliabstry feurnal.  - PARIS, Joss 14. A petition in an unusual and comical form was discussed yesterday in the Senate. A M. Leon Valery prayed that the old "turning boxes," in which women who wanted to get rid of newly-born children might deposit them for nurture in an hospital, without making themselves known, may be restored. The peculiarity of the petition consisted in this, that it was in verse ; in fact, nothing more than an adaptation of an ode which lately obtained a prize at Toulouse. It appears to have been suggested that poetry, being the language of the gods, might be appropriately spoken to the Senate, and M. Gonlhot a Saint Germain, the reporter, solemnly declared the opinion of his committee, that the poetical form, though unprecedented, was not necessarily objectionable. The melancholy fact is, that since the suppression of the turning boxes at the doors of the foundling hospitals—those tours which a few years ago were generally accepted as incentives to vice--the crime of infanticide has increased in frightful proportions, while the number of illegitimate births has not diminished. The Senate voted unanimously that this tion should be referred for consideration to the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Interior. An individual named Nicholas Stephens Consnenus, alleging himself to have been " born in the purple," has presented a petition setting forth that he is the legitimate heir to the throne of Constantinople, from which his ancestor, the last of the Roman Emperors, was wrongfully expelled by the Ottomans, and praying that no Russian or other power may be allowed to exercise privileges which tend to prejudice his undoubted rights. The Senate shelved this petition by passing to the order of the day. The Bourse has undergone no material variation. Route rose 6c. for moth, and left off at yesterday's prim for amount, the LA quotations being 68.55 and 68.66. idobilier rose 61. A rise of 7.50 in the Southern Railway, and a fall of 151. in Orleans, were the only important changes in railway shares. The market was somewhat• more active than is usual on a Saturday. Incendiary fires are lamentably frequent in the French colony of In Martinique. A lamp manufactory and nine houses were lately burnt in a single night. One of the incendiaries, named Jean Bap' tiste, committed suicide. The governor, in the hope of checking these terrible crimes, has declared • that is future all incendiaries, or accomplices of . incendiaries, who may be sentenced to hard labour, , shall be sent to Toulon to undergo their punishment.
