CrIILOY OVA PARIS, numeric: NIONT. To describe the festivity of this evening with proper amplitude, I should begin a considerable way down the magnificent Rue Rivoli, and carefully eau musts the brilliant devices with which its palatial bosom were decorated, the flags and trophies that hung across the street, the crowds of happy-lookieg pro* that circulated slowly, but with perfect enn trey to each other, through its extent ; the spawn* Municipal Dragoons, who sat pensively an their horses es if thinking they would mach prefer Wag at the course; and the votaries of the Ise arts, who were loyally endeavouring to used the odes& cordials, by driving an active eon metre in woken* medals and other similar memorials of the royal visit. It was, in feet, a fete as much in the street as within the Hotel de Ville., sad the penability daneing wan Petty . nearly the mate in the sae place es ia the other ; indeed, of the two, I think the crowd in the street was the lees dean. ltillionsof gas jets sad variegated lamps—the latter a specie' of illumination which seems to be as great a favourite with the French se are the lanterns with the Chinese—the inany-ooloured latapioss hang ing from every window—an electric light beaming *an the Tour do Bt. Jam, and the bright moos dining, a modest attempt at rivalry overhead, made Mil whole some as bright as day, and wonderfully leiliteted the attempts of the persecuted police to keep French coachmen in something like order and subjection. These latter gentlemen, who maw their horse' by a series of explosive demon eleallsos with their whip., always endeavour to masige the police by mune of a most voluble oratory; bat the police are masters of the art as well as them selves, and the consequence was that in a crowd like that of this evening the whole passage along the streets wee a series of animated debase, which, how ever, ea esiang to adivisios, were uniformly decided is Wised tls Haman. On reaching the large spa epee la feint of the Hotel de Ville, the natural ileadmilia laid an uninitiated spectator must have OM 10 111 that the ball was to be held there, se *MOM dad gay was the appearance which the wilsb assiomire presented. The boundaries were Mimed by a series of lofty obelisks, is coloured lap, which had a surprisingly gorgeous east, and in the space between every two mat a mounted dragoon, making the combined seed melt as must have been soon to be properly appreciated. The space macs= was kept perfectly dear, erupt where it was intersected by a thin black Ilse of carriages of vertu' descriptions, which were very slowly indeed moving towards the entrance allotted to the general visitors. The glo nose renaissance facade of the Hotel heat was oovered with lights and banners, and every estrum was grouped with officers of almost every nation in full uniform, and ladies in fall dyne, who bad alighted from their °integre in the hope of expediting their admission to the ball room; so that, what with the lights, what with the banners, what with the dra goons, what with the gay and orderly crowd, the en mashie was as brilliant as one of the most highly elaborated court meow of Madame D'Anois. The eye was seedy sated with splendour, but all this was merely the preliminary flourish, it was necessary to pass late the well guarded vestibule to realise the full extent of civic magnificence and taste. The interior of the Hotel de Ville has been made familiar to newspaper readers by many descrip tions, but the recent improvements have much added to its attractions. What was formerly an open smart, round which the state apartments ran, bas beep essverted into a grand ball of entrance, covered over with glass, fitted with a noble flight of stairs, isneuested with statuary, and refreshed on great sismises by the play of innumerable fountains. In the early part of the evening this approach was re ' served for the admission of the Queen and the two surto, the only inhabitant being the state porter, a eery formidable-looking gentleman indeed, standing surly seven feet high, and armed with a massive ha lisai.that threatened instant annihilation to any reckless wigwam correspondent who might attempt to cree p= ea the escheated territory. The first impres 41ss made by the appearance of this dread functionary was that Gag or Magog had been brought over °Wild" from Guildhall to officiate on this great nods% but on nearer approash, the terrific looking paiika et the fairy pikes turned oat to be a real Frassimas, although of the largest size, perfectly mild and tractable, and ready to apologise for the painful position which he found himself placed in by being obliged to put bounds on too ardent curiosity. At 10 o'clock his more active duties commenced, for about that hour the Imperial carriages drove up to the antrum, the armour of the Cent Garda was beard rattling outside, and in a few minutes the (loses, Emperor, and their respective wiles wen within the vestibule. The respectful and deferential courtesy of the Emperor to his illustrious guest was on this, as on every other occasion since her arrival in France, universally observed aid commended. It was first noticed at Boulogne, when, on the Queen taking her place in the carriage, the Emperor sprang upon his horse, and became her equerry, thus obliging the high dicer to whom that duty properly be longed to become the equerry of an equerry on that particular occasion. In the sales way, at all the state visits to public places in Paris, the function aries whose duty it is to deer the way for the royal and Imperial promenade have their instructions to call out "La Reins" alone; the Emperor thus studiously dis claiming all share in the courteous greetings with which a succession of brilliant crowds have received his visitors. On this occasion the royal guests were received at the foot of the espalier by Baron Hausman and the civic functionaries of the first class, and im mediately an invisible band struck up " God save the Queen," the time of which seems to offer insuperable dam= to the otherwise diciest French musicians. The vestibule and escaper were unoccupied, except by the Emperor, Queen, and their respective courts, bat the balconies all round (formerly the windows of the open court) were filled with splendidly dram= eompany, who, although forbiddes by the etiquette of the place to cheer, were as demonstrative as possible in their gestures of welcome both for Qom and Emperor. I may here observe that before I man to Paris I had heard a great deal about the reign of Napoleon the Third being a reign of terror in his owe capital ; but if it be, it is certainly the best-moosaled state of panic I have ever witnessed. To any observer who should be content to judge from the evidence of his own ryes, not from the upsets ef refugees, who, pes. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1855. haps, had "left their country for their coantry'a good,' the French metropolis and its lively popula tion presents at We moment an appearanes of sa mosai jollity and senteutompt. The latter deal seems to care a fig for the polies, are on the best terms sible with the soldiers, sad in the pub& plasm talk politics with the greatest filmdom. I strongly mope* that the chronic state of conspiraey in which Paris is generally supposed *a assort is a awn Arnett, and that sa long as the people have platy of work, plenty of fit's, aid bread not toe dear, they will be just as slimily managed as any urban population in Europe. The politicians mayshake their heads at this, bat nay belief in the earreetosno of my coejeetere re mains unshaken nevertheless. While the Chleen and Emperor were ascending the stairs any person who might be stationed at the top had around him on every side a most magnificent prospect. All the other anaemia might be men at the same time, oaly in- Woe is &emetics is the mealier d'issasswir, and east cowered with an asmading stream et tomdersy. Tinware, tonnaino, Malebo, *its In ocattorill peek. don everywhere ; mask filed the air, and the lett of 50,000 boogies brought out everything in its lent attractive colours. The Queen, for whom the mew puny, although crowded to suffocation, at MO formed a peerage. proceeded to the stile di demo, where two rows of state chairs had been prepared, over which was a splendid canopy having the whole surmounted by the imperial crown. On the first row the Queen, Emperor, Prime Albert, the Princess Mathilde, and Prin.. Adalberto: Prussia took their mats and on the mood the Mar chioness of Ely, Lady Cowley, Marquis of Breadal bane, Lord Alfred Paget, end the other members of the two court. It was difficult, however, to get near enough to disdaguish saybody, for the crowd was terrific ; and. as for the beat, I, who have been in many crowds, never felt anything like it. lieveral ladies fainted, and some gentlemen looked as it they could follow their example, the only persons who seemed to enjoy themselves comfortably being some half dozen of Arab Sheiks, who, as it got hotter and hotter, wrapped themselves up tighter and tighter in their picturesque crimson " boo:noes," and, cool as cumbers themselves, smiled contemptuously at the perspiring foreheads of the rest of the company. These gentlemen managed to get abut ex ceedingly well without any guide or inter preter. They were able to take everything coolly with the thermometer at 180, and sometimes they sat down and sometimes they walked majestically about, and sometimes they went to the buffets, wavering all the time amongst themselves with animation, but in a dialect that baffled any at tempt at too carious eavesdropping. It is a very extraordinary thing how Arabs of the Desert, Ame rican Indians, and other rues whom we are pleased to call half-civilised, seem to be gifted naturally with that insperttubable self-poseseroo, the acquirement of which is amongst us considered to be the tapirs sites of high breeding, and only to be achieved by the study of half a life passed amid the best society. Oar Shea friends on this occasion did not incon venience themselves for a moment in attempting to get a look at the Queen, but, being very tall men, they looked with their goat black eyes for a moment over the shoulders of the others. and then very quietly retired to the fenitmsils, where, placing one leg composedly over the other, they resumed their diseemice-11 is to be supposed—on the po litics of the desert. The chamber in which all this took place is one of the finest ball rooms in Europe. It was here that, in 1851, the London cor poration dined with the Prefect of the Seine, an historical event which cannot be too impressively commemorated, the more especially as the next room —the sane the tr6oe—bas its great fact, as it contains a window from which poor Louis Seize harangued the people with the cap of liberty on his bead. lam mat d ammo going to invade the dominions of Oa- Miami, a contest with whom even the great John Murray a:pearly declined, by describing the decor ations of this magnificent chamber in detail; suffice it to say that the general effect was most brilliant on the peesest occasion, and that but for the heat, every see would have been pleased and contented. Her Majesty, however, bore it very well, and after a few presentations, the band, under the direction of the great Strauss himself, struck up • new quadrille Ebswassr. composed expressly for the occasion, and esrapilig French translations of English and Irish sirs; sad the two royal and imperial personages present formed for a duos. The Queen danced with the Emperor, their eie-era being the Princess Mathilde and Prime Albert, while Prince Adalbert of Prussia and Prime Napoleon danced with two court ladies whose fuss I could not make out through the dense crowd by whisk the court circle was surrounded. Her Majesty danced with mock grace and spirit, and the Emperor acquitted himself very creditably, but a difference of opinion seemed to arise in the pastorale as to how it was to be danced, the result of which was to throw Prince Albert and Prince Napo leon into momentary confusion, and to cause much amusement, as well to the taseen and IStoperor as to the company. Her Majesty was dressed in white lace, with a splendid perms of brilliants, and looked as well as her most loyal subjects could wish her. The Emperor also looked in the best health and spirits, and were a much more cheerful expression of countenance than was commonly observed previous to the royal visit. The Princess Mathilde is consi dered here to be a very fine woman; but, in my view, she is rather masculine, and wears rather a deter mined expression of countenance. She was of muss splendidly dressed, and had plenty of diamonds; but indeed I observed that the display of brilliants was more than commonly general amongst the company. After the dance, which, with the French tempo, was soon over, came the promenade through the whole suite of rooms, the Queen and court walking slowly along, while on each aide a brilliant line of varied uniforms and gay ball dresses acted as the pollee of the occasion. The Queen acknowledged every bow most graciously, and stopped and spoke for a few mo ments to HoraosVernet, whose appearance in one por tion of the line arrested her attention. Her walk was a bog one, and the atmosphere something like what one might expect in the crater of Vesuvius a few days before the eruption; but the Queen bore it well, and went through her work from beginning to end without the slightest symptom of exhalation. The whole party left at about half-past 11, descending as they had seconded, by the 'outlier ditoratiettr ; but in this instance the public were admitted, mid all but tire reserved pump was crowded to suffocation. With her Majesty retired the majority of the celekaities amongst the company, but the younger potion re mained, and, assisted by the inspiriting, m using of Straw, kept ay the &see wadi a le.te hour is the HER MAJESTY'S MOVEMENTS IN PARIS. (nog ow ow ooswspowiw.) PARIS. TZVIIIDAT 11•1311110. Prince Albert left St. Cloud at a quarter past 10 this morning to pay a buinese-like visit to the Uni versal Exhibition alone. Hs ease in a ehari-benc, ascompanied by the Marquis of Aberoorn and Col. Pbippe, end without any court. He entered the building at the principal doer in the Champs Elysies, and was received by Prime Neyeisers, M. Fould, and M. Le Play. He proceeded eyelemadeally to walk round the nave, sad some of the Moral galleries, and after having made a meat minute inspection of a greet many stalls, he muscled to the Ileum* where the Queen stayed so keg yesterday. He after wards retuned to the Palais, went up stairs, and staid a keg while in the upper galleries. The sea sea-ticket holders, who alone were admitted on this simisise, did not of course muster in anything like ea* numbers as they did yeeterday to en the AIN& It wee mot found mieseury to fence off the man with ropes, which the public could not pass, as was done yesterday. A few sergens-de-villa kept a sufficient open space to enable his Royal Highness to walk about freely. I hear the demeanour of his Royal Rightism very much praised by exhibitors. He conversed in the most sans-frioon manner with a greet many, listened attentively to the observations made to WU, frequently smiled, and appeared to take a great Intelsat in all that he sew. I am the more happy to record the favourable im- Fordo° which his Royal Highness's conduct pro discoed today, from the fact that at the Opera the other evening it was remarked that he was taciturn and reserved. The Prince left the Palais de 'ln dustrie at a little before two o'clock, and went to the Tuileries to wait for the snivel of the Queen and the lksorts bees Bt. Cloud. The (Wm arrived at the Tuileries at half-put 2, half en hear later than the dm* mentioned in the pr-game". The heat was intone at that time ; snipe* in consequence of the heat, which many Emit from encountering, and partly because of a tumour that her Majesty would not leave the cool shades of St. Cloud till the sun had somewhat abated the intensity of his rays, there were but few people amembled in the precincts of the Palace at the mo ment of her arrival. In the Place du Carrousel where every stone was so hat that you might have baked a loaf upon it, then were not at two o'clock more people than usual. In the Tuileries Gardens, as soon as the posting of a few sergens-de-ville on either side of the grand avenue leading to the Pavil lon de rHorlop indicated that the Imperial car riages were approaching, the nurserymaids, children, and mammas, the newspaper and novel readers, and the ladies who delight to do crotchet work under the chesaut trees, ran oat from the massifs, and formed lines to see the arrival, and their numbers being bat very slightly augmented by a few casual promenaders, the rank was a single one, so that everybody could see welL Their Majesties and suite arrived in travelling carriages - and four with the Imperial post-horses. The Queen and the Primus Royal sat together. The Emperor was on the oppo site mat. There was no fourth person in their car ' slap. After luncheon the Emperor conducted her IMajesty to the picture-galleries of the Louvre. The Sepal sad Imperial party entered the galleries by the deer essamenicating with the interior of the Tuileries, se that the public saw nothing of her Majesty's visit to the Louvre. No person not in the immediate suite of their Majesties was admitted to the galleries. It is isperled and has even been printed in an edition of • Pads Newspaper already sent into the country this evening that, after leaving the Louvre, her Majesty paid the projected visit to Vincennes this afternoon. It would not even surprise me if circumstantial accounts were to be circulated throughout Europe, describing theisserations in the Faubourg St. Antoine, and the en thusiasm of the people as her Majesty pseud the Deniers du Trone. All each descriptions, however, will be pure invention, for up to the hour at which I write her Majesty bad not left the Taileries. She dines there to-day en jamille at seven o'clock, and afterwards goes to the grand ball at the Hotel de The Queen made two purchases at the Exhibition yesterday. It is more than probable that she made others, but I have only as yet heard of these two. One was • brown cast, executed by M. De Li tmus, of the exquisite piece of sculpture exhibited in the Fins Arts Exhibition, by M. Oeefe—the Bel gian artist—the " Lion in Love." The Queen ge mmed herself so much pleased with her purchase, that M. Forth' thought it woad be a delicate compli ment:to send it to Bt. Cloud immediately, and she found it in her bedroom in the evening. Her Ma jesty also bought (for 1,6001.) a fan made by Dunne trey, embellished by a painting of "Lee 'audit de limperatrioe," the subject of which is the Empress, when a child, distributing charity, which it was her habit to do once a week. I understand that Prince Albert made a great -1 many purchases ie the Exhibition to-day. to j THE RETURN TO ENGLAND. BOULOGNE-BUR-IMR, FAIDLY. It is now officially announced that her Majesty Queen Victoria will embark at this port on Monday next, at 11 o'clock at night, on her return to England. The Emperor will accompany her Majesty and the royal party by the Northern of France Railway to Boulogne. The hour named for their arrival here is 11 o'clock on Monday morning. The following are the arrangements laid down which are to conclude the splendours of this ever memorable event, vis.:—A visit to the camps, grand review upon the sands, grand dinner at the Pavilioa Hotel, general illumination of the city and of the port, departure of her Majesty at 11 o'clock at night amid flambeaux and Bengal fireworks. It is not generally known that the Emperor had a most miraculous escape from destruction on the morning of the day of the Queen's arrival. Bone time before the royal squadron was sighted, his Im. perial Majesty, accompanied by Marshal B•ragusy d'Hilliers, galloped np the heights for the purpose of having a better view of the approach of hie august visitor. While his horse was standing quietly upon the most elevated ground within a very short dis tance of the overhanging cliffs, he permitted the mins to hang loosely upon the animal's neck, ibis bands being occupied bolding • doable opera glass to his eyes. The Emperor's Mantas being wholly absorbed with the contemplation of the Victoria and Albert, which, in the distance, he saw approaching, and while at the oboe time eonversing with the Marshal oa the subject, he was aroused to a sense of the most imminent danger by the sadden 'bergamot of his hone, who made a violist lisp $ narrow trench, which Dom labouring mm wan Getting in the front of when he stoed The hat of the Emperor fell a, and, throwing the gleams to the ground, he mixed the bridle with both hands, and most providentially, by his cool prepense of mind and hie main strength, was enabled to arrest the violent career of his hone, sad to pull him back almost upon his haunches, when within but a few test of the yawning galph beneath.

A deputation, headed by the Duke of Leinster and the Lord Mayor, and comprising some of the leading mercantile men of Dublin, waited yesterday on the Lord Lientnaant, at the Viceregal lodge, with refer ence to the postal and pasernger communication be tween London and Dublin. The Lord Mayor having introduced the subject to his Fatoelleney, and pro seated the series of resolutions adopted on the subject at the aunties held in the Mansion-house on Satur day last, his Excellency observed that he was fully aware of the importance of that meeting, and that kis own feelings were entirely in sympathy with their views on the subject. In the coarse of the intervieW the following conversation took plate : The Lord Lieutenant—l shall emssituticate with the head ef the govenimest—Lord Palutsietes—ow tbe whole sublet?, sad the oharsetu of the deputation that Me dam me the honour of wait*, on sae so-day ; and se sleet shall he treaties as my part to Maim him to give the melt timet able esweiderasiew he taw to the matter ow every grouse: Will there be any sue is Lowden who will be able to supply isfermation se to the actual details _ _ Mr. Codd, has sea of the Chamber of Commerce—We shall be quite prepared to &need. We did go to London two months ago, bat it happened to be the week the French Emperor was in town; and though Lord Palmerston re ceived us, ha had but very little time at his disposal The Lord Mayor—l may remark that, although It is the Irish people who are the requitionista, still it is the English who will most boaeAt by this arrangemeat. The Lord Lieutenant—l esnaot tall bow slaters my con viction is that both tosatries are entitled to the beet means of eommunientirra that can be devised. Mr. Codd—l may tell your Escelleney that there was a memorial oa this subject presented to the government, dolled by 98 members of parliament, 64 peers, 4 ex-Lords Lieutenant of Irelaad, and two cabinet ministers. la i r o also mention that Lord Clarendon, though very m occupied in his ales, was quite prepared to attend and give evidence, es was also Lord Monteagle Sir Thos, itedington, and many other noblemen and gentlemen" so that if the Chancellor of the Exahequer could only be indwell° open the purse strings I am sure there would be no opposition. The Lord Lieutenant—The company is the Landon sad North Western, is it not ? Mr. Codd—Yea, your ?Excellency, sad the Chorter..and Holyhead and C ity of I)ablin Steam Parket Cempeales. This latter sompasy hada contract which they are prepared ' M give up. The Lord Mayor remarked that the payment of /1),11001. • year by the government only ceased a few years since.' Mr. Codd—l will just tell your escelleosy bow we NM aid' present cirounista..ced. The only mails whteh leave %Wm fer Loadon are at 2 o'clock in the day and 8 °Wools in the evening. The 2 o'clock mail is quite toe early for all mer cantile business, and is never used excerpt in very eneeptien able eases. The 8 o'clock mail does not arrive in Loudon till 11 o'clock the :followieg day, and the letters 'resat delivered until 1 o'clock, which is quite too late fur businem. sad I know many instances in which transactions of a cm considerable amoaat have been willed in coaesqueisee of the late delivery of letters. The Lord Lieutenant—Well, gentlemen, I shall take as early oppnrtanity of communicating with the government, and no effort shall be wanting on my part to early oat year views. The deputation then withdrew. The Earl of Carlisle proceeds this day by special train to the encampment on the Carmel, where the troops will have a grand field day. There has been once more an unfavourable change in the weather, and a considerable quantity of ram fell in the course of the past night. There are, how ever, dry intervals which may p t any vety in jurious effect of the moisture on the crops, and lathe meantime all our harvest reports continue of a f - able character. Some new wheat which has beta brought into market is of a very beautiful quality, and fetches a high price. There are considerable quantities of new oats already at market. The po tatoes in the vicinity of Dublin have mattered a good deal from the blight, which has in many instahces attacked the tubers, and rendered them unfit for us. WORKMEN'S RIOTS IN BELGIUM. The inhabitants of the rural districts around Namur, in Belgium, had for emu time past displayed groat awtu towards the large manufactories of chemical prods*. tions that abound in them parts, under the impression that they were hurtful to the crops, and serious had taken place against those ' ' on the 16th. Them disturbances were renewed under n more threatesiag ripest ea the morning of the 19th, when large crowds meerabled before the important factories of ----- . Oigaise, Mantels, Floreffe, Rhine., &c., with loud cries sad throats of violence, mingled with the moss seditious one of " Vire la Republique." The authorities, however, having received timely notice of the Whistles* of the populace, had caused troops to be sta tioned for the defence of the threatened establishments, and inmost oases the determined attitude of the soldiery . . . . -- kept the &ten at bay. Bat at Malaise, Auvelais, and Vloreffe, the troops were attacked with stones and missile*, is the midst of cheers for the republic. At Airmails the troops bad to use their firearms in self-defence, and two of the assailants were killed and one wounded. A fresh detacheneat of cavalry had to be mint for, and eventually, after great exertioas, order was restored. T wenty-niao persons were arrested, and taken to Namur. Tlut L'Aiti de r Ord," (of Namur) gives the following account of the riots : "Grave and lamentable events occurred yesterday at the °stoking of our city, in the bunt of the Sambre, near the laboratory works. Two or three thousand assembled then, and thee separated and proceeded in bands to various spots. Threats were uttered, and the public force violently sneaked ; seditious cries were Stud, having no reference whatever to the general cause of this excitement. Numerous arrests have been made. At Auvelais the military were compelled to use their arms. One man was killed, and ea other severely wounded. The consequences have, perhaps, I been still more disastrous. Such is the substance of the fasts that have some to our knowledge, and which we new publish with bitter regret, that onneels of On end prw should not have prevailed. On Saturday, sad yesterday the gendarmerie was out ; detach ments of infantry occupied the approaches to the factory of Floreffe. Similar arrangements had been made at Risles ; bat the greatest tranquillity continued to prevail in that quarter. The is/dories of Oigniee end Auvelsie were guarded by detachments from the garrison of Charleroi. About eight o'clock, the excitement was great in our city, when we heard that a telegraphic despatch had summoned a eseesd squadron of ca va lry to the theatre of these events ; the first squedroa had previously left at six o'clock. The most 111-emesed rumours were set gloat, and unfortunately they were not without foundation. At the moment we are now writing, and in the absence el Infiermatias sufflciestly asthenueated, we do not un dertake to relate in detail the various episodes of this unfor tunate day. We are informed that an attack has been made on the territory of Malaise, at the spot where the road of the village so called joins the Floreffe-road. From the wooded heights that command this narrow portioa of the read some stones were thrown, which wounded several men belonging to the squadron of cavalry that had left stein o'clock. At Anvils* the troop wee r attacked amid cries of " Vivo la Be_publiqns l' The sane cy was uttered at Floreffe. The arrests made amounted yesterday gleans to twenty ' nine. They were made by the company of gerdarmes, and the lieutenant of this foto* had his clothes torn while dia -1 charging his painful duty. It is said that the first arrest was made by the Procureur du got himself. It is added that the colonel of the same I force, M. Wolff, catalog from Brussels, also made an arrest. The other individuals arrested were in the custody of the gendarmes who followed. The two squadrons of 011 garrison returned about ten o'clock. The .101/1101 d. Charleroi says: " We hear the judieial authorities possess documents that throw light on the of this embalm outbreak. The rumour haslet abeam= certain large proprietor to the provisos of Meow Used ma the movement. It is not &scenery for us to point mit the contradiction existing between this rumour and the may of the cries actually tittered of ' Vivo la liep . ublique ! The infantry guard stationed at Auvelen was obliged to fire, but not before the previous summons had been made as required by law. Unfortunately it was not obeyed, and the result of their fits was two killed soda few wounded. The good spirit pervading our army is well know% ma we may be sure that is similarly painful cases thistles,. an officer that will not make his duties as • man esiesill with his duties as a soldier. At ten o'clock lest night the remainder of the battalise arrived, which we had been expecting from Mons. The main part of this battalion had previously arrived at in in the afternoon, whets two companies were detached from it and immediately sent to Tautens. Today an aidiefill• amp of the war mi , inter ig en the place of these °mousses,. la seert with the oaken in command of the troops hen orgs m aisieg the poste and micsimpments obey will have to campy for some time to come. General Dupont, the a ill tary 'overate of our province, also arrived in our city this moron'. We believe that reinforcements for our pe ril°n have been demanded et Geed and Bremen. M. Brimful, the fudge. and Id. Brest, his deputy, seeompa flied by M. Jules Van Inistalaer, the clerk, who went on Sunday meting to Oignies, returned this morning.
