NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Ttlections by the Assembly for the French Senate concluded Tuesday, and the result is almost exactly as we stated last e week. General de Cissey, M. Wallon, and General Aurelles de Paladine have been elected, and the Bishop of Orleans, who accepts, but says that, like Daniel, he is doomed to the fiery furnace ; whereupon his old enemy, M. Veuillot, tells him that he -does not know Scripture, Daniel having been sentenced to the lions, and not to the fiery furnace. General de Cissey, Mon- signor Dupanloup. and General Aurelles de Paladine are as anti- Republican as the fifteen members of the Right, but all the doubtful votes together do not exceed 20, while the Left can depend on 55. The majority, though not "eminent," are men of standing and repu- - tation, and their absence will decidedly weaken the new Chamber of Deputies, which will, it is now feared, contain an unusual number of inexperienced men. It must be remembered, however, -that this Chamber will contain 200 fewer Deputies than the Assembly. M. Buffet, as we expected, is disposed to await the result of the elections, and this, although the new majority has carried its own list of circumscriptions, instead of the one supported by the Government. It is believed that the result of the struggle in the Assembly will greatly affect the Senatorial electors, and that a great majority of the Senate will be moderate Republicans.
