The transaction was a cash one, and ha had received a cheque from Mr. Ears for the Bort of the shares, but not for the brokengo, which Mr. Ezra said he would pay him by ani bye He declined to give the seller's name. The last transaction ho bad had with Mr. Esra was for some Bank shares, in which that gentleman tried to bluff him out of his brokenge.

A despatch from Paris says that President Grory presided at a council of the Ministers to day.
