There is a curious theory afloat in Paris in respect
to the reported death of FERDINAND. ID the time of CASIMIR PERIER, the command of the telegraphs, which had belonged to the Minister of Commerce, was transferred to the President of the Council. The King is now de .facto President. Spanish Rentes Perpetuellcs fell greatly, tis was to be expected, on the report of FERDINAND'S decease appearing in the Alimiteur-4 per cent, is stated as time fall. Large sales were made previous to the full; and immediately before the official contradiction of the report, and the rallying of the stock, equally- large purchases were made by a person known to be connected with the Court, on ac- et, say the scandalmongers of the French capital, q. Louis Philip! Of course, there can be no truth in this story ; but it shows the feeling of the people who propagate and believe it.
