SUSPENSION OF CASH PAYMENTS. DEMONSTRATION OF THE NATIONAL GUARD. PARIS, TEIURRDAT NOON. The run upon the Bank of France, which I an nounced in my former letters, became still more alarming yesterday. 'The court-yard was completely filled, and the applicants were admitted by a queue, as is usual at theatres on crowded nights. All demands were paid to the hour of closing. In the course of the evening, bewever, the governor of the Bank applied to the Provisional Oovernmont, repre senting the danger in which the establishment was placed, of having its resources in specie ex hausted. In coaseqnence of this, a meeting of the members of the government was convoked at mid night, and a res dation was taken to authorise the Bank to suspend cash payments. A decree to that effect accordingly appears in the Monies's, of this morning. The same decree declares, of course, that the notes of the Bank of France will be a legal tender, and authorises the issues of notes of 100 francs. The following is the decree in full : The Provisional Government considering the deliberation of the CouncilGineral of the Bank of France, dated this day :—Considering that I,r smte days past the demand. of re-imbursement made on the hank are in great ninnber, anti threaten to drain ire meanie reserve. Cashiering that this situation places the Bank in the alternative. either of stopping its dimounts, or of obtaining the authorisation of no longer effecting its payments in specie. Considering that the snspen sioll or even the restriction of the discounts of the Bank would give a fatal blow to industry and coronieree. Con sidering that this suspension would cause on all sides the forced stoppage of labour, end would plunge the labouring clasets into uttar misery. Considering, in consequence, CA far from allowing the suspension er the restriction of the discounts of the Beek, the govcrnmeut of the republic ought to furnish this establishment with the means of procuring industry and commerce powerful instruments of credit. Considering that it is indispensable to secure to Paris the specie belonging to the Treasury, and which is disposed at the Bank. Considering that the really flourishing state of the Bank, and the guarantee formally stipulated of the limits of its emissions, give to the public every desirable security. Upon the proposition of the minister, decrees: Art. 1. From the very flay of the publication of the present decree, the bills of lb. Bank of France shall be received as legal money by establishments and by private individuals. Art. 2. Till further orders, the Bank is dispensed with the obligations e paying its hills in specie. Art. lv no ciao the sum of the emissions of the and its briotell banks, shall he ail.osetl to en :roe mot fi'tv minion.. Art. 4. lit order to isei::fate eireulatii4s, the Bank of Free, is authorised to emit coup sees, which however, shall not be interior to 100 f. Art... The dispositions of the present decree are applicaLle to all the comptoire the Bank of France has astabli•heil in the departments. Art. 6. The Bank of France is to publish its situation in the Moniker every week. Give n at Paris, in the council of the government, March t 5, 1848. The following announcement is appended to this decree in the 111imiteur : At the sane a. salon of the cabinet, the Minister of France propmed to the government a system of financial regula tions which, while they will ensure all the branches of the public service, will allow it to afford in a !erste measure to industry, commerce, and labour, the aid which they may re quire.

The bankruptcy of the larger class of commercial bows begun, fol lowing necessarily the failure of the banks, the de parture of foreigners, and the reduction of private es tablishments. Yesterday the well known house in ol , e---t-e__.::-•-•,_ e • --/- ',' , ' ,-. (/ ,/ the Rue de Bac, celled Le Petit St. Thomas, stopped.' This mogasin employed six hundred persons, all of whom are thus suddenly deprived of the means of subsistence. Public opinion has begun to declare itself lire-1 ference to M. Ledru Rollin. The question whether the intelligence, respectability, and property of France is to have its legitimate influence swamped by the populace with which the Minister of the Interior has attempted to dilute it, will now be soon settled. A formidable demonstration will be made within two hoar, of the time of writing these lines. The decree of the Minister of the Interior recently published pronounced the dissolution of the companies delite, those of the grenadiers and voltigeurs of the national guard. Without going into the details of the object of this measure, and its consequences if carried into effect , it will s uffice to say that it would utterly annihilate all the influence of the middle and upper classes, including the property and intelligence of the country, in the election of the officers and chiefs of these civic troop*, and would throw the con trol of them into the hands of the populace. A determination has, therefore, been made to resist the measure in the most energetic manner. Protests have been accordingly signed by many thousands of the most respectable citizens. Every legion has thus expressed its sense of the proceeding, and evinced its resolution to resist it. At a late hour last night, it was resolved that the national guards should go in a body to day, in uniform, but unarmed, to the hotel de Ville to lay their solemn protest before the government, and to demand the immediate revocation of the dtcrce of Laden Rollin. The following resolu tion was unanimously adopted at a meeting held at the ffiairie of the second arrondissement, by deputa tions from all the legions of Paris and the Baulieu : A resolution of the Minister of the Lnterior dissolves the eompanies of the grenadiers and willows. This measure has excited on all sides a discontent which the National Guard resolved upon expressing to the members of the Pro visional Government. To this effect the legions of Paris and of the Bootie's, grenadiers, chassettm and voltigcum, are to meet on this day, March 16th, at one o'clock precisely, to repair to the Hotel de Ville, and present a unanimous pro testation. The resolution then goes on to appoint the places of rendezvous for the different legions. The greatest silence is enjoined to be observed on the occasion. The number of citizen soldiers assembled on this oc casion will, it is said, be thirty thousand. We select the following from among the numerous protests as a specimen of the whole Cit•xen governors, now, more than ever, does the Na tient] Guard need that strength which springs from affection, and which creates conhdenee. To destroy these ties is to create discouragement. The dissolution of the companies of Neenah, re and voltigeurs, by dividing the National Guards, places them in new companies, where they know no one, and prevents them from exerekieg the electoral right, wi:h utility. The decision of the citizen Minister of the Interior, adopted ou the very eve of the election, seems to betray a thought cf disorganisation which we would willingly disbelieve ! There can be no sus:peers among the National Guards, for we are all animated with one desire—the safety of our country—and know but one means to secure it, order and liberty! This decision is merely applicable to Paris end the Banlieu it spares the National Guard of the provinces. Is it, then, en exceptional law 7 We think it would have been prudent to nail the decision of the great powers of the state, which are not yet constituted. The grenadiers and voltigeurs do not request to retain either their insignia or their denominations ; they give them up unanimously, fur equality alone redeye in their heart. But they demand not to be disorganised ;to pro. serve their Rees and their census open to all. We are 30,000 National Guards, who demand that the decree of the mi. Dieter be postponed till the day when a National Assembly shall decide their fate. Liberty ! equality ! fraternity ; (Then follow the signatures.) The journals are filled with the resignations of public functionaries in Paris and in the provinces, in consequence of the circular of M. Ledru Rollin. I seiect from among the letters addressed to the go vernment by high functionaries on this occasion the following, prefaced by one addressed to the editors of the public journals : Mrso x, hlsucu 13 —To the Editor.—Sir,—lmmoveable magistrate. I have not recoiled from hi for: the of the moment, end hove continued in the exercise of my func tions as long as I thought I could fulfil them with lode, prudence. But now, as the circular of ;he Minister of the Interior tends to deprive me of that independence, I con eider it my duty to send in my resignation. Willing to nicks known to my fellow citizens the motive' of my determination, I inclose to you the copy of my letter' to the Minister of Justice, leaving you at liberty to publish it. I desire that my fellow eitis-ns may see therein my love for the independence and liberty of every citizen.—Receive &c. BARBA:AT DUPLICSBIII, Juge d'lastruction. MEAex, March 13.—Minister,—I have the honour to send to you my resignation at judge of the tribunal of premiere in ./tone/of id , aux. I mast say that my dignity es a man and as u snagistrste revolted at the thought, that, according to the circular of your colleague, the Minister of the Interior, I am to be surveilk. I have never feared a close examines Lion of my actions. I have long been one of the law officeni of the crown ; and if 1 have con tented to accept my present office, it was not to seek refuge in immovability. Born free, I have ever been free area always wish to be so. I will not, for a single instant, cease to be the equal of every citizen, whose brother I am, and always shall be. I shall never be hostile to my coun try, whose liberty, honour, and prosperity no one can desire more than myself. Magistrate, I fulfil my duty as a citizen, and in forsaking, with regret, I own, and that after thirteen years of exercise, a career, which is, in my eyes, at least, a safeguard to liberty, and which has always appeared to me to be the most noble of all careers, I shall wait at my post, till the arrival of my successor shall restore to me, what I desire for myself no Ina than for all— Liberty! equality! fraternity '—l remain, sir, your fellow citizen, BAILBUAT Du eteeste. The circular of M. Ledru Itollin has been in part retracted, as I told you would be the case in the lifoniteur of to-day, in which a resolution of the go vernment is published, declaring that the commis saries of the government shall not exercise the power of suspending or dismissing magistrates, which was given them by the circular; and that such suspension or dismissal, in circumstances of the most extreme . urgency, can only be made by the Minister of Justice. The Minister of Finance, M. Gamier Pages, has issned the following proclamation : Citizens —Public tranquillity is gaining strength, and it will do so mere and more by the co-operation of all desires and interests. Liberty, founded by courage, is maintained by devotedness. You have comprehended this: you have already paid the taxes in advance. You have done more ; some have wished to pay their taxes for the ensuing year—. others have offered a portion of their revenue; others again have offered voluntary gifts, and to a considerable amount. This emulation inspires the proviaional government with pro found gratitude ; but it does not think it right to accept, in the form of a gratuitous donation, this mark of patriotism; it desires, above all, a proof of confidence. It is with this object that it has opened a national loan, which is not a financial ian, fin* a political measure. At the mo on of when the loan is below par, the government at thi re public calls upaii large and smell, to show, by a striking testimony, that they regard the credit of the state on a level with the par. This appeal will he heard; it has be .ri heard. The amount of the first payments allege that everybody is aware how intimately public and privet: credit aro connected. Te ameliorate the condition of the people— to re-establish the circulation. for a moment diminished—to give to labour and labourers all the encouragement and the guarantees which are due to them—to found order upon jus tice—to give security to all legitimate interest —to protect all with equal solicitude and equal firmness such is the mis sion of the government of the republic. It will succeed but on one condition—rig, the prompt restorition of public credit Irmo the factitious discredit caused by a senseless panic. Citizens, the will is in us—the power is in yourselves. I expect, with the calm of an accomplished duty, that you will furnish us with the means of pacifically founding the republic. Yesterday M. Lamartine received a deputation of the republican club for the freedom of election, which came to the minister to express the fears which the circular of the minister of the interior has generally excited in the public mind, and to declare that the term , : of this circular have created the dread that the provisional government does not sufficiently respect the liberty of the citizens in the choice they will have shortly to make for the national assembly. During the interview the following remarks were made : M. LAMARTINE—I cannot. i n a question so grave, so ge neral, take upon me the initiative on the opinion of all my colleagues united. However, I can assure you that they will all be profoundly touched at, and heartily grateful for, the steps you have just taken, and for the wards you have just pronounced. The provisional government has requested no one to speak in its name to the nation, and still less to speak a language superior to the laws. (Bravo.) It has given this right to none, for it refused to assume it, even at that very instant it arose as an acclamation of the people to occupy provisionally the painful place it now fills. (Bravo.) It would not then RAMBO that right, nor will it ever. Let the names of those men who compose it be the sure guarantee of it to you. (Bravo.) Be convinced that in a few days the provisional government will speak on this subject, and that whatever in the terms—but certainly not in the intentions —of this document may have wounded, or created the un. easiness of, the liberty and the conscience—l" Yes, yes ;" "Bravo")—shall he explained, commented on, and re. established by the voice of the whole government. (Ap plause, and cries of " Lnng live Lamartine !") Bay, " Long live the whole government," for this thought is not mine, it is that of the whole government and of the minister himself. A 'Mamma (of the deputatien)—We accept it as such. M. LANARTINE—Citizens, of all the dogmas which have survived the great falls of thrones and empires which we have witnessed since half a century, nne dogma a'one is im perishable in our eyes, that of the sovereignty of the nation. (Bravo.) It is that of national sovereignty, which we shall never allow ourselves to infringe, nor permit °theta to attack in our name or in sours. The provisional government, be assured of it, will congratulate itself en your having come as .1 „1/..",:- 2-1 SECOND EDITION. From the GAZETTE of THIS NIGHT. WAR-OPVICE, MARC!! 17. 12th Lt.

[THREEPENCE. a presentiment of the opinion truly republican, that is to say free, to provoke an explanation, on its• part, relative to the line of conduct it intends to pursue in those elections from which is to spring, freely also, the republican government of France. And now I no longer speak to you in my name. But a few hours ago we were all discussing this question in our council, and we all unanimously declared, what is, in trot", in nature, in the rights of the sovereignty of the nation, of which the first guarantee is the sovereignty of the conscience of the individual,—we declared, I repeat, that government neither couldnor would influence the elections — (great applause)—that, as individuals—for none of us would have accepted the government had it been necessary to re nounce the rights of a citizen—that, oas individual', we should recommend cur friends, and make kelvin our own opinions, but that, as a government, armed with any portion whatever of public power, we should blush at those very re proaches we addressed to thole governments which preceded us, if, instead of that corruption which has, by the scandals it has caused, crested the very revolution to which the re public owes its birth, we this day employed another species of corruption, the worst of all, that of fear and of the moral oppression of conscience. (Bravo.) No; it is from a pure I and free source that the republic must and will spring. Tranquilise yourselves, citiseus, and bear these words to ! your fellow-citiseoe without. (" We will; we will.") I de- sire, we all desire them to and an echo in the public opinion of Paris and of all France. We wish them to make known to the republic the real sense of some words which have been ill-interpreted, and which had neither the meaning nor the extent attributed to them, and to let all citizens cease to he alarmed at those words which may often give a false exprer sion to the thoughts, in the multiplicity of signatures and of affairs which my colleagues have to transact in the tumult of events which surround us. Know it well, and repeat it to these who are without, the governmental ilkhe+ republic feels the two-fold necessity of troinquilising thopublie mind, once in this conversation we hold togethecosed once again by a proclamation to all the citizens of France—(applause)—a proclamation which will (mantra its principles on the nature institutions truly liberal, truly moral, truly conservative of the rights and interests of all citizens, without exception. A MEMBER—We are happy to hear such words. All France should hear them. this body of troops in not yet decided on, but General Negrier in mentioned. Serious disorders have taken place at Lille. Several manufactories, threatened with destruction were saved by the energetic attitude of the authorities aEI National Guard.

The measures decreed by the government with re gard to the bank of France were favourably viewed on the Bourse; it was only regretted that they had not been adopted immediately after the revolution, as the financial disasters that occurred would probably have been obviated. Speculators, however, looked forward with much anxiety to the reply of the provi sional government to the national guard, which was not known at the clo4e of business. PAW% WOWS 14.

Vote according to your conscience ; and if, as I do not doubt, your comciencee are those of good citizens, the republic will be founded by your votes as it has been founded, by the arms of the people of Paris. (Bravo.) The deputation withdrew, to the repeated cries of " Long live Lamartine." " Long live the Provisional Government !" " Long live the Republic !" M. Istaritz, the Spanish ambassador to the court of London, has, on his passage through Paris, had an interview with M. Lamartine, in which he repeated In the name of the Queen the assurance of her desire to continue her friendly relutior.s with Prance, as already stated by her eh.rrpf el'aPiree. General ltedeau, commander of the first military division, has renounced the whole of the salary chargeable on the Ministry of the Interior, and aban doned the third of his pay as general, for so long a time as the treasury may be in a state of embaraas meat. Letters from Madrid, of the 10th, Rey that the Duke do tffuekshurr went on the eve to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to communicate to the Duke de Soto mayor the circular of M. de Immartine, relative to the policy which the French republic intends to adopt in regard to foreign powers. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Duke de Sotomayor, after having atten tively listened to the reading of this document, told the I de Glucksberg he would give it an answer. Two important circumstances guarantee the continuation of tranquillity 'in the capital and provinces. The minister of the interior declared, in the sitting of the Chambers of Deputies of the 9th, that the events of France, as well as those of any other country, could have no influence over the in ternal affairs of Spain, and would occasion in that country no change of p , licy or system. The Pro gressist press, on its part, Ms ) declares, to avoid all misinterpretation of its sentiments, by the organ of the StWio, that the throne of Isabella has nothing to fear from the Progressist party. The Chamber of Deputies was then discussing a project of law to authorise the government to estab. lish a penal code. It was also presumed, in the Senate, that the dis cussion relative to the pr.* ct of authorising govern ment to suspend the Art. 7 of the constitution would be terminated that day. The articles of the amend ment were to be discussed on the ensuing day. M. Santaella was speaking, at the departure of our cowrie r. M. Duvergier d'Hauranne has published an ad dress to his constituents, the electors du Cher. It occupies five columns of the Conslitutionnol. Not satisfied with the reduction of the day's work to ten hours, as regulated by the committee of the Provisional Government, the operatives are now en forcing a further reduction to nine hours, the wages being undiminished. Yesterday a hand of above a thousand paraded the Quartiers St. Martin and St. Denis, aid visited several factories. A deputation of some thirty entered each factory, and forced the muter and the men to subscribe an obligation to limit the day's work to nine hours. The master was also informed that he must neither reduce his number of men nor close his establishment undo pain of the destruction of his machinery. In one ease which fell within my own knowledge the master remonstrated saying that he had already complied with the regula tions of the government by hmiting the day to ten hours. The deputation, smiling at his simplicity, in formed him that they were themselve, in this case, the government, and would not fail to enforce obe dience to their decrees. The master was compelled to submit. Advice. from Naples, of the Bth, say that the ministry which was then spoken of was to be com- Need as follows: Foreign Affairs, Prince Cariati, President of the Council; War, Winspear ; Interior, Savarese; Agriculture and Commerce, Cianciulli • Finances, Valet." ; Justice, Cacalk ; P u blic Works, Guisa. Advice/ from Forli say that Cardinal Ferretti left Rome on the 6th, unknown to any one. LATEST FROM PARIS. DEMONSTRATION OF THE NATIONAL GUARD. TURIN.—By letters intent, of the let March, the Ch; valier J. Provino di Collegn3 has been ri.instated in the enjoyment of ail the rights belonging to one of the king's subjects. Advices from Rome, up to the 6th inst., say that all was perfectly quiet in that city, but that the news from France still excited the most lively interest. In the court of the French embassy the Duke de Broglie read the four first decrees of the French republic, amidst universal applause. The constitution was expected for the 11th inst., and is demanded on all sides with impatience. All place the grevtest relience in Pius IX., who has not allowed himself to be alarmed by the news from France ; he thinks alone of promoting the welfare of his country. Ltetwati.—The fonr battalions of the civic guard were convoked for the evening of the 7th ; they were to be on duty successively till a late hour of the' evening, to form patrols, and to occupy the principal posts. On the preceding day a courier was said to have arrived from Rome, with dispatches concerning a political league between Tuscany, Rome, and Turin. These dispatches have most probably retarded the departure of the Marquis Tanay de Nerli, secretary to the embassy of Tuscany, for Turin. It was generally thought he would leave on thatday. The steamer which arrived on that day at Leghorn, from Naples, an nounced that Monsignor Code, ex-confessor of the king, had been arrested at Castellamare. Tho Patric of Florence, of the Bth ir.st., says that a subscription has been opened at the French legation of Florence for the widows and orphans of the victims of the days of February. INSURRECTION IN WURTEMBERG. A peasants' war has broken out in Wurtemherg. The castles of Niederatetten Ochriugen, two signorial resi dences of the Princes of Ilohenlohe, have been burnt to the ground, and so has the ancient castle otlaxthauaen, as well as the castle of Assumstadt, the family re sidence of the barons of Ellrichshausen, and the castle of Schwaiggern, the residence of Count Neipperg, son-in-law of the King of Wurtemburg, The lives of the inhabitants have been spared. Two thousand men have beta ordered, in all haste, from Ludwisburg and Heilbronn, to quell this in surrection. CHINESE JUNE.—A communication, dated Jersey, March 14, says, the Chinese junk, .from New York, is just arriv -d here ; some say short of pru,sioms. Tint BBIDOE AT TILE FALLS or NiAGAILk.-1 have been intensely interested to day in listening to a de scription, from a well-informed and eornpetent source, of tke great bridge over the gorge that separates the dominions of the queen from those of the prnident. If any thing could be wanting in the attraction of the country about Niagara to turn thither the tour of the multitudes in the pleasure season, this bridge will supply it. Its thousands of tons of weight of the strongest iron-cord that the ingenuity of the iron master con desire, find a safe support in wrought-iron anchors, built in the solid rock, one hundred feet below the surface, an that, before it could yield, the very rock-bound earth would forsake its tenacity. A large wooden frame work is to he placed so that no undulating motion can be experienced. In full sight of the cataract, the surge of angry waters far beneath, the sullen storm-beaten rocks all around, the quick locomotive will put forth all its quickness to rush beyond the peril of its journey. This glorious work is already begun, the money for its cost paid in and available, the ex cavations commenced, and the contractor is to pass on horse back by the middle of next June. Its firmness is to be such that, with all the burden of a powerful locomotive and a long attendant train of can, it is not to vibrate one inch in I the centre. The railway is to occupy the centre, two car riage ways on either side, and two footways. What a mag- ! niticent spectacle this road in full nee will present. A road 1 of this kind ow!. the Menai Straits in Wales is famous for ! the daring displayed in its construction. That over the I Niagara will soon he world-famed. It will he an iron link of civilisation between the ruling powers of the world, and will never be severed. One of the first thoughts that pre sents itself in reference to the construction is as to how the wires are to be thrown across. The steamboat now used below the Falls is to take over two cables, to which strands of iron are affixed. These are to be drawn over till two ropes of iron are drawn over, on which a temporary pathway is to be placed; and when I inquired where workmen could be found that had nerve enough to work effectually under such circumstances, the answer, so characteristic of American strength of action, was, "Oh, there am always plenty of Yankees who have both the courage to work there and the ingenuity to work well." The great railway in Canada, which is to connect with this mighty work, presents some ad mirable features. Its grade is over twenty feet, and a very large proportion of the distance is on a straight line. On one line, perfectly straight, ninety miles are laid out. All the highways of the country are to pus either over or under the road, by depression or elevation, as to be entirely re moved, so that there will be neither obstacle nor hindrance to a flight which will put more life into the provincial do minion of her Britannic Majesty than it has yet seen. " That same" province of Canada West has yet to see great days. England expends millions on sections of her great dominion far less worthy of her notice and fostering care. " The last link" is completed when this great bridge of the cataract @hal'. have been completed. From Boston and from New York an unbroken line is presented, and the day is moon coming when some correspondent of yours will delineate the incidents of • thirty hours' journey from the metropolis to Detroit. Such are the movements and the progreasss in support of which al! may unite, and which mark ao buy day.—New reek Courier and Enquirer. 1 u l. t VIOLENT SCENE IN TUB PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. Since the foregoing was in type, we have received the letter of Paris correspondence, with important news, up to last evening at poet hour. PARIS, THURSDAY, 3 P.M. A demonstration was made, unsuccessfully, today, by the national guard of Paris, to protest against the decision of the minister of the interior, who had ordered the fusion of the picked companies with the general companies of chasseurs; the object of this measure on the part of the ministry having been to influence the election of officers of the national guard. It is stated that but a few of the National Guards of the 10th Legion were admitted to the Hotel de Ville, and the result is that the fusion of the picked companies will not take place, on condition that they will not wear the ' distinctive insignia of Grenadiers and Voltigeurs. The rest of the representatives of the national guard, forming the compact mass of eight or nine thousand unarmed men, were stopped at the Pont du Change by a handful of men of the people. The national guard then endeavoured to pass by another route, but were again stoppe d by the populace, who shouted " Vive Ledi Rollin. ,, This minister then ap peared at the window of the Hotel de Ville, with the other members of the provisional government. The lat ter, especially Messrs. Lamartine and Arago, appeared dejected. Ledru Rollin saluted the populace, which thronged the Place de I'llotei de Ville, crying " Vive Lcdm Rollin ; " the National Guard then retired, an nouncing their intention to return in arms. 'Serious results nay now be feared. The general masses ap pear to regard the act which has excited the national guard as another step towards the establishment of perfect equality, and the reluctance of the guard to comply with the decree is treated as a manifestation of superiority. It is thought to be the first symptom of a reaction. Shouts of Egalit ! A bas lea aristacrates and other exclamations followed the entrance of the deputations into the square. The National Guards are preparing to petition the Provisional Government for the dismissal of M. Ledru- Rollin from the office of Minister of the Interior. A very exciting scene took place at a meeting of the provisional government last evening. The majority having demanded the resignation 01 M. Ledru Rollin, this gentleman replied that he would never resign, and that if they wished to dismiss him he would ap peal to the people, at the same time advancing to wards a window, no doubt with the intention of addressing the popnlace. Upon this, M. Gar nier Pages drew his pistols, and threatened to fire if M. Ledru Rollin persisted, A most violent scene ensued, M. Rollin proceeding so far as to raise his hand against M. de Lamartine, who said, " Sir, I would rather die in an emertte than upon the scaffold." Ledru Rollin then became calmer on the threat of Gamier Pages that he would show the people a treasury bond for 300,000 fr., drawn on the treasury by Ledru Rollin. To-day a great crowd assembled round the Bank of France, and it was found necessary to have a com pany of the National Guards to keep order. The decree suspending the cash payments not having been generally known, a disposition to create dis turbance at first showed itself, and the excitement throughout the day was very great. M. d'Assaily, grandson of General Lafayette, has addressed a letter to the Presse, reprobating, in strong and dignified language, the circular of M. Ledrn ' Rollin. It is confidently stated," says the Constitutionnel, " that the Council of Defence intends to demand the establishment of a camp of 30,000 men near Dijon.

CARMPP, March 16 —The Neptune, of Jersey, lying in the Bute Dock, laden with steam coal, blew up this morning; main -deck and beams, from the mainmast to the poop, are totally destroyed ; cabin shattered, sternpoot and poop started, with other considerable damage. COMMERCIAL MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Tleo o'clock.—The formal suspension of specie pay ments by the Bank of France has not taken City capitalists by surprise. It has been looked upon as inevitable for the last week. It is impossible to contemplate the consequences which can hardly fail to ensile in France and elsewhere without the deepest alarm. The run for hard money, it is now t. , nred, will not be confined to France.PFaith in paper money being once shaken on the Continent, the de mand for specie and bullion may become universal. It has been noticed already that gold has been ship ping from hence to some extent to Belgium, and it is to be feared that the demand will not be limited to that part of the Continent alone. From Paris, the commercial advices come worse day by day. This morning we have the failure announced of the respectable firm of Charles Lebeuf and Co. The confusion of credit there, according to partieelwho havejust arrived is indescribable.
