Heavy drafts of troops were under orders to embark for India. ‘The Bank of England reduced the rate of discount on the 20th to four per cent. The reduction had Lttle or no effect on the money market or Stock Exchange. The Lon- don 2imes remarks on the subject that there is a prospect that the tendency for a considerable period may be to- wards increased ease in the money market. For the last week or two the applications at the bank for discount have almost entirely ceased. They are still likely to be of @ very moderate character, since the minimam rate in the epen market has for some days not been higher than three per cent, while in the Stock Exchange the supply is sbundant at two. ‘The interest on deposits allowed by the discount houses has been reduced to 2% per cent. The Daily News says that some persons are disposed to look for a further re- duction in the bank minimum. FRANCE. ‘The army of the line is to be divided into five great commands, to be confided to Marshals Castellane, Bosquet, Pellissier, Canrobert and Valliant, with their headquarters at Paris, Nancy, Lyons, Toulouse and Tours. Addresses from some of the regiments to the Emperor are worded im such strong language as to attract much attention. The Zouaves almost regretted that they had no opportunity to manifest their zeal in a striking manner, and the address of the Eighty-second regiment contains the following sentence:—‘And if your Majesty wants soldiers te reach these men even in their haunts, we hum- bly pray you to designate the Eighty second regiment ag part of the advance guard of this army.” Addresses from other regiments appear to have been worded still stropger, for the Monileur has omitted some of the paragraphs. The Pope has addressed an autograph lettor of con gratuiation to Napolecn. It is stated that Orsini was at Stuttgardt when the Em- peror was there last year, but that he and two or three other Italians were expelled, The Montteur publishgs a decree announcing the inten- tion of the government to put down all religious contro- versy in the French press, A Brassels paper affirms that the French Foreign Minis- ter had addressed a note to the British, Belgian, Swiss and Sardinian governments, demanding certain measures which may prevent renewed attempts at assassination.

VALENTINE'S DA¥. ‘Yesterday was St. Valentine’s Daypéut the fact of its being Sunday compelied tha votaries of Cupid to postpone the celebration of the holiday until to-day, whan the city Post Offices may expect to doa thriving business in the exchange of amatory episties between lovers, and satirical effusions between parties who have malice to geatity or in- sults to revenge. It is to be feared that rather more of the latter will be exchanged than the former, trom the fact that malice is a much more common sentiment than affection, and besides, can manifest itself at a much cheaper rate. Any kind of a valentine, such as even tho Poorest girl would send to the object of her affection, ‘would cost a dollar, while scurrilous and defamatory Iam- poons can be bought for a cent a piece, It is therefore as cheap as it is pasty. The origin of St. Valentine's Day is involved in eonsidera- bie mystery. Some writers affirm that St. Valentine was really a fair beauty of the court of St. Louis, whe was so pestered with amatory villet dous that she reured to a convent to escape the persecution of the court gal- lants. With the fickleness of woman, however, no sooner had the trrevogab’s vows been spoken than Cm she bad taken, Fy To subdue this rebellious g 32 i ge apd ope peed but with no effect beyond giving & reputation of sanctity which promoted tion an abbess.

It is also reported that the Cayuse and Walla-Walla Indians had ordered ail the whites to leave their country within five days.
