Ones the gayest and brightest of sitios, it has lately taken analistless, abrenly, thispirited air, which any one will observe in an instant who winy rachitit after an absence of twenty or thirty years. Many of the principal streets are frequented by charag ters who formerly would havo beou relegated to their nativo burrière; and the sort of prodigney which is now rendering the boulevard, hideous by. day and night is the immorality, not of pro- sperity, but ponury. The glittering shops are. losing their lustre, the fushionable restaurats are losing their Lame, even the most popular theatres are fighting with failure, Paris, in a word, Paris, the soul of Franes, is "going of ” in a manner almost painful to so.

Dilke inse comes into court, We cannot express our real opinion about vorybody concerned in the judi cial farce of Friday last We may express ¡ym- pathy with the Attorney-General and Sir Henry James, who had to make themselves so painfully and ostentatiously responsible for a client whoso absence from the witupag box was accounted for by a rigid adherence to the tochnical neocenities of the esse. We may also sympathise with the Judge, who went beyond the necessities of the caso, and referred to the peasible state of the lady's mind, whese, confession affected the co-respondant Probably there has never been a case where the weakmedsos of it nangninst one party wore so startling and so transparent, or which was so dominated by a pervading desire for one result above all others. Why the counsel who represented the co-respondent were allowed to do more than submit that there was no 0850, it is dioult to understand. If there was BO care to answer, 20 Excuse was needed for not calling ton en-respondent.
