ber wounded. Earl Russell, in a manifesto on the Spanish occupation of San Domingo, says that American forbearance cannot be calculated on as permanent. France. The hearing of the appeal in the Mires case was progressing. The Attorney General had argued in favor of the maintenance of the past decision. The Pays denies the report that the Government had notified the foreign ambassadors that France would maintain the occupation of Rome. The Ministry of Marine propose a large increase of the officers of the navy, of which the Emperor approves, and says that a similar increase will be necessary again next year. The Moniteur denies Mr. Roebuck's assertion that a convention existed for the cession of the Island of Sardinia to France. It says that the Emperor never thought of such a negotiation. The last letters received at Lyons from the United States have caused a further depression in commercial transactions, and the consequent fall in prices. The s

It is said by the people who can see a long way into millstones that the Prince will certainly propose an arbitration, and that his visit is made with the object of securing for France the position which would certainly be given to the power that might render an agreement possible.

A rather ludicrous alarm has seized Messrs. Baroche, De Morny, &c.; for it is said that one point on which Louis Napoleon requires light to be thrown is on the lives and doings of certain Consuls whom Julius Cæsar punished for shamefuls corruption. These gentlemen have taken it into their heads that their illustrious associate is minded to draw portraits of them under the disguise of Roman names and features, and the
The Daily Dispatch: September 14, 1861., [Electronic resource], Curious facts discovered by the French census. (search)
Curious facts discovered by the French census. --The French census recently taken discloses some curious facts. Among these is an excess of marriages in the large towns and cities of France over those in the country, proportionately to population. It also appears that but about seven widows in every hundred marry again, while twice that ratio of widowers re-enter the connubial state. A majority of male children are shown to be born of parents of nearly the same age. The average duration of wedded life, in 1856, was 25 years, against 23 years and two months in 1836. One-third of the men, and about one-half of the women yearly married are unable to sign their names. This proportion, however, does not hold in the department of the Seine, where only one man in nineteen and one woman in six are unable to write.--In the same department, also, the proportion of children born out of wedlock and legitimated by the subsequent marriage of their parents, is much greater than in the provi
