FRANCE. 
(From our own Correspondent.') 
Paris, Thursday, June, 1. 
The greatest anxiety is manifested in Paris by nil classes, 
for news from the sent of war — n consequence of which is 
the invention and circulation of the most absurd canards. 
The sale of the favourite newspapers lias increased tenfold, 
nn d the stamp returns show that since the declaration of 
war the Presse and the Patrie have sold as many num- 
bers as during the eventful period which followed the 
revolutions of February; though their price is now higher 
than it was then. 
Speculators for a rise at the Bourse are in ccstacies at 
the-upward movement which has taken place in the public 
funds, the three per cents having risen no less than three 
francs’ during the past week. This is attributed by some 
to government influence on the agens dc change, and by 
others to the prosperity of the country which none but the 
wilfully blind can help seeing, and to the impression which 
is every day gaining ground of England and France having 
succeeded in forming an European coalition against Russia. 
■\Vnethcr this conjecture is founded on fact, it is impossible 
to S ay, but it may be mentioned that the entourage of the 
Emperor and of the various ministers openly express their 
conviction of its truth. 
The distinguished African Captain, Bou Maza, who, 
since his release from Ham, has resided here as a prisoner 
on parole, has just obtained permission from the Emperor 
to join the Turkish Army, in which the Porte has offered 
him the command of a body of irregulars to serve in Cir- 
cassia against the Russians. His Majesty not only granted 
the Sheriff’s petition, but presented him with a pair of 
magnificent horses, and with his entire equipment, arms, 
&c. for the field, which are of the most superb description. 
The gnllant Moor on receiving this really graceful gift was 
deeply moved, and declared that his highest happiness would 
be to shed his last blood for France and her generous 
ruler. Bon Maza Ins been for a considerable time resid- 
ing as the guest of the celebrated marine painter, Gudin, 
whose large fortune and large heart enable him to dispense 
his hospitalities with a munificence almost royal. Some 
day or other I shall give you a little sketch of his beauti- 
ful villa in Beaujon, which enjoys the repute of being one 
of the delices of this Metropolis, rich as it is in marvels of 
taste and elegance. . , 
A crowded audience attending the representation of the 
“ Prophetc” at the grand opera, on Monday night, were 
startled during the performance of the fifth act by the re- 
port of a pistol in oue of the boxes in the first circle. On 
hastening to discover the cause, a gentleman was extended 
on the floor struggling in the agonies of death, having 
committed suicide. He was recognised from a card in his 
pocket as Captain C. K., of the Prussian service, and the 
fatal act is attributed to despair arising from the obduracy 
of a married lndv, to whom lie was evidently attached, but 
who (it is said) had given him no encouragement what- 
ever. The lady, it appears, was in a box with her husband, 
and between t'hc fourth and fifth acts the unfortunate de- 
ceased came in to pay them a visit, ns is customary at 
the Paris theatres. The husband shortly after was 
leaving the box to take a turn in the foger, when 
his wife took his arm to accompany him, leaving the 
deceased alone. From some cause or other they dul not 
return, and soon after the commencement of the next act 
lie committed the fatal deed. The representation was 
brought to a close in consequeuce of this melancholy 
event, and the public retired from the theatre with a pro- 
priety of feeling most honourable to the tone of Parisian 
society, in which a wonderful improvement has certainly 
taken place during the last few years. The time can well 
be remembered when such a circumstance would scarcely 
have attracted attention, much less anything like sympathy. 
It has been ascertained that the unhappy man had, for a 
long period, been labouring under mental alienation. 
No less than ten other suicides are also reported as 
having taken place during the week. In most cases these 
self-destroyers were young people, who on most futile 
grounds put an end to their lives, asphyxia, by carbonic 
acid gas, being generally resorted to. 
Some amateurs of theatrical speculations, witnout risk 
of lo9S, have lately been reaping a rich harvest here, at 
the expense of a wealthy English gentleman Mr. B 
Having become proprietor of the “P/u’dtre des Vanities, 
and accustomed at home to deal with gentlemen, he is, 
though clear headed and able, quite unable to deal with 
the very sharp practitioners he meets with in Paris. It 
seems that though he (Mr. B ) regularly lets out the theatre 
for a certain yearly rent, taking all the legal formalities 
possible to protect himself from any debts or claims his 
tenant might incur; in the failure of the latter, the Tri- 
bunal do Commerce, on actions being brought by the cre- 
ditors, have condemned him (Mr. 11.) to pay his debts. 
The sum is upwards of £5,000, but the ease is so glaringly 
opposed to equity, that a reversal of the sentence, by a 
Superior Court, is looked on as certain. 
A very interesting ceremony took place at. Rceueil, near 
Paris, oil Tuesday, to celebrate the anniversary of the 
death of the first wife of Napoleon— the tender and 
devoted Josephine, who made it her residence alter the 
cruel separation which the Emperor’s ambition and 
political necessity rendered inevitable. The quaint old 
church was decorated with truly regal splendour, and 
filled to overflowing by a crowd of high functionaries, 
whose glittering costumes formed a strong contrast with 
the mournful nature of the ceremony, and the dingy uni- 
forms of a body of veterans- relios of the grande armee. 
It was remarked, with some surprise, that none of the 
Imperial family were present, as, in former years, the 
Emperor invariably made it a point to a ttend.

Arguments for the Bow and Arrow. —Bows and arrow, 
Franklin suid, were good weapons, and not wisely laid usiue 
first, because a man may shoot ns truly with a bow ns with a 
common musket ; secondly, because ho can discharge four ar- 
rows in the time of charging ami discharging one bullet ; 
thirdly, because his object is not obscured from lus view by lue 
smoko of his own comrade- ; fourthly, because a flight of arrows 
seen coming upon them terrifies and disturbs the eneim > unoi- 
to Ills business; lilt lily, because an arrow sticking in any part 
°f a umn disables him until it is extracted; and, sixthly, be- 
cauee bows and arrows are more easily provided everywhere
