FRANCE. `'be following.3tatement appears in the illoniteur : It has been seen from tne report of the general- - And of the army of Paris to the rdinisterof War -:he events of the 3d and 4th December —a re port 'arkable for its clearness, precision, a nd simplicity, the loss of the army in these two days amounted to 1 officer and 23 men killed, and 17 officers and 167 men wounded. These results have been since changed by the death of three soldiers from the effects of their wounds, making the number of killed 27. Up to this time the number of civilians killed and wounded has not been known in an official manner, and the most exaggerated statements have been put forward. Au thentic documents have been drawn up on the subject, and we now know that M. Trebuchet, chef de bureau at the Prefecture de Police, charged with that duty, has taken an exact account of all that fell. From this examination, it appears that there were killed on the Boulevarde Montmartre and Poissonniere, and taken to the ambulance in the Cite Bergere, 35 ; carried to the cemetery of Montmartre by order of the police, 3 ; carried to the Morgue from the barri cades, 43 ; died in the hospitals (most of them in surgents) or at their residences, 110 ; making a total or 191. The number of civilians wounded is only 87 ; but it is evident that the number would have I,den much greater if all the insurgents wounded had made themselves known. Those only are known who we re seriously wounded and taken to the hospitals. It was the same in Jane, 1848, when the number of killed amounted to 1,402, whilst only about 260 wounded were found." The grand ball to be given by General de St. Arnaud will take place on Feb. 11, at the hotel of the department of War. General Prim and General Ortega have arrived in Paris from Madrid. By decree, dated the 27th, the company formed under the title of the " Western Railway Company, tlis been authorised, and its statutes approved of. A solemn religious service was performed on the 15th inst. at Stockholm for the repose of the soul of the late Marshal Soult, who was chevalier of the Loyal order of the Seraphim, which is the oldest cyder in Sweden, and only conferred on members of igning families, and the most illustrious personages. the members of the order who were in the capital -vere present at the ceremony, during the celebration of which the bells of all the churches rang a funeral oeal. The experiment of cultivating rice in France ap pears to have succeeded perfectly. A piece of ground of 100 hectares in extent (250 acres) was sown with rice last year in the landes of Arcachon, near Bor deaux, and the crop proved a highly satisfactory one. The seed is sown about the middle of April, and al most immediately appears above ground. Guano is fond the manure whic h suits it best in France. .out 12,500 f. are considered the capital necessary to convert 100 hectares of landes into rice-grounds, being 12.5 f. the hectare. - - THEATRICALS IN AMERICA.

Miss Julia Bennett is playing in New Orleans. Biscaccianti's benefit concert took place at the Melodian in Boston, on Saturday evening last. Every set in the house was occupied, and the audience were very enthusiastic. Madame B. was labouring under a disadvantage, arising from an irritation of the organs of the throat. Madame Anna Thillon and Mr. Hudson, the Irish comedian, are engaged at the Boston Theatre. Blanchard and his dogs are performing before crowded audiences at the National Theatre, Boston. Mlle.

"'LAST APPEARANCE OF LOLA MONTES AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE.—LoIa Montes closed her third engagement last night, for the benefit of the Fire man's Fund. The theatre was crowded to excess, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The danseuse was loudly applauded, and called before the curtian at the end of each ballet, amidst showers of bouquets. At the termination of the performance she was again caned out, and replied to the plaudits as follows : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—My heart is so full I can not speak more than my grateful thanks for your kindness. Gallant firemen, God bless you and your noble institution. Farewell. God bless you !"

THIS HANGING OF BILL MARSHALL AND JUAN VERDUGO. (From the San Diego Herald, The trial of these men was concluded on Friday Extra, Dec. 16.) . evening last, and OR nounced on the Plaza that they would be executed at Saturday morning it was an two o'clock the same day. The Fitzgeral d Volunteers we r e ordered to be on duty at that time to conduct :he prisoners to the scaffold, which had been erected a short distance out of town, near the Catholic burying' ground. The graves were dug, and all the preparations made daring the forenoon for carrying out the sentence of the court-martial. At about two o'clock the volunteers were under arms, and the people began to gather in considerable numbers about the Plaza and Court-house. A priest was with the prisoners most of the forenoon, and accompanied them to the gallows, where they received final absolution. They were then informed that a short time would be allowed them if they wished to make any remarks. Marshall was the first to speak. He said that he was prepared to die, and he hoped that his friends and the people around him would for give him, that he trusted in God's mercy, and hoped to be pardoned for his many transgressions. He still iiv,isted that he was innocent of the crime for which he was about to die. This was about the substance of his remarks as near as we could learn from those who stood near the scaffold. Werdugo spoke in Spanish. lle acknowledged his guilt and admitted the justness of the sentence passed upon him ; said he was ready and willing to yield up his life as a forfeit for his crimes and wickedness. The ropes were then adjusted—the priest approached them for the last time—said some consoling words to them —repeated a final prayer —extended the cru cifix, which each kissed several times, when he .descended from the waggon, which immediately moved on; leaving the poor unfortunate wretches suspended about five feet from the ground. The fall could :not have been more than a foot, at the most, for their necks were not dislocated. Marshall struggled con siderably, but the Sonorian scarcely moved a muscle. Both of them were in their shirt sleeves, and neither of them hoodwinked. Marshall was quite a small THE SUN, LONDON, sized man, with regular and rather afire@abl® with three graduated flounces, with ban& of velvet features, and a bead indicating, phrenologically, of the same shade as the dress.

It was an awful and melan choly sight, to see those bodies swinging about there in the wind—now exhibiting their countenances directly fronting you, and again averting them, with the crows and buzzards hovering overhead, as if ready to pounce down upon and devour their meal of human flesh—and one which, we trust in God, we may never be called upon to witness again. After being suspended about an hour and a half, the bodies were cut down, and interred in the Catho lic burying-ground. Bill Marshall, it will be borne in mind, denied on the gallows, most emphatically, that he was guilty of the crime for which he was to suffer death ; but in his confession he acknowledged that he knew the four men were to be murdered, and did not make the slightest effort to save them, which he might easily have done. His father-in-law, who was arreste d with him, confessed that he knew all about the affair, but that he was too old to take a part in it. He was discharged. GERMAN HOSPITAL., DALSTON. The annual general court of the governors of this charity was held at the London Tavern yesterday, Mr. Richard Twining, one of the vice-presidents in the chair ; when the committee of management sub mitted their report of the society's operations to the meeting. Owing to an alteration recently made in the rules, the annual court of governors is held in the month of January instead of June, in order to afford the latest particulars of the hospital's working previous to the anniversary festival. This being the first occasion for acting upon the new rule, the report, of course, only embraced the seven months which had elapsed since the general court in June last. During that limited period, however, the number of patients admitted into the hospital was 344, the cases of 105 out of whom had arisen from accidents. The out-patients at the hospital were 2,071 ; at the Eastern Dispensary, 608 ; and at the Western Dispen sary, 298 ; making a total within the seven months of 3,321. Since the original establishment of the hospital in Oct. 1845, no fewer than 18,463 poor persons have been relieved by it, 2,810 of whom were in-patients, the remainder being out-patients; 8,000 of the last category were English. The claims made upon the committee, however, increase in a greater ratio than the increase in the means placed at their disposal, and as many as 247 applicants had to be refused admission from want of room during the short space of six months. The present hospital at Daiston being inconveniently situated for the re covery of the patients, owing to the noise from its proximity to railway traffic, the committee contemplate the erection of a new building on a more eligible site, with the addition of the pro posed Adolphus ward, and another ward for the re ception of English patients. The annual subscriptions continue to increase ; and the sum of. 2001. has been left to the charity by the late Charles Koenig, Esq. 311. 103. has also been collected in Its behalf by the Commissioners of the Zollverein department at the Great Exhibition. The balance sheet showed the total receipts from the Ist of June to the 31st of December last to have been 1,4221. 155., and the expenditure 1,3781. 35., leaving a balance at the banker's of 441. 12s. The society has 2,100/. of stock invested in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Consols, which sum includes 6501. specially raised for the erection of the Adolphus ward. The report and statement of accounts were received and adopted. Thanks were then voted to H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge for his services to the hospital as president, and after dispatching some other routine business the meeting separated. FASHIONS FOR FEBRUARY. (From Le Follet.) Ball dresses have made their Milt, and the variety in style and material renders it somewhat difficult to make a selection that shall not encroach upon the limits of our paper. The robes, with the beautiful ribbons floating from the waist, looping up the top skirt at intervals, so as to show the underskirt trimmed with bouillonnes of tulle; this make of dress is much admired, and likely to be much adopted. We have seen one of these robes trimmed with white satin ribbon, with narrow stripes of gold thread at the edges; each band of ribbon was terminated by a bow and ends, edged with white and gold fringe, forming a wreath of floating ends over the bouillonnes of the underskirt. The same description of bow raises the small bouillonnes sleeves. The front of the body is ornamented with an echelle of flowers, formed with diamonds and artificial fuachias. The coiffure is a wreath of fuschias, mixed with foliage of diamonds, descending slightly on the forehead, and falling on each side over the bandeaux. Another of these toilettes is of white tulle, raised by pale green ribbon worked in bunches of bright coloured flowers ; the upper skirt is long enough to form a full drapery between each row of ribbon. The coiffure is a wreath of small variegated poppies and small green and white heath formed of feathers. Another toilette of white tulle had the upper skirt trimmed in festoons round the bottom with small wreaths of pinks ; the sleeves are looped with a smaller wreath of the same flowers ; the bouillonnes of the under skirt is sprinkled with variegated pinks. The appearance of this robe was perfectly elegant and sylph-like. 'We have also observed a very di stinguee robe, com posed of pearl white satin, trimmed with two deep flounces of English lace ; over each flounce is placed a slight embroidery in gold and silver, harmonising with the front of the body, which is richly embroi dered to match, with a row of diamond buttons on each side, meeting at the waist in a point; a deep berthe of English lace, open over the chest, entirely covering the small sleeves. The coiffure is a wreath of camellias, mixed with white and ruby.. coloured velvet and long green and gold foliage. The magnificent toilettes of brochees silks, in all colours, are so rich in themselves as to admit of no ornament. They are accompanied by a wreath of small marabouts and coques of ribbon. Two much admired toilettes were of white moire antique; the bodies were plain, with a berthe, which make may be fairly styled a bijou. It was a light re sille of gold, each mesh of which is fastened with a small coloured stone. The coiffure was of sequins, rolled round the hair, placed like a coronet across the head ; they then fall in long rings on each side of the neck, joining behind, under a bunch of curls. Organdi is much used for full dress for young ladies. We have seen one in pink, trimmed with a bouillonne, placed at the edge of the lower skirt. Over this bouillonne is a deep English lace, slightly gathered, with a heading of pink plaited ribbon. A second flounce, headed to match, reaches the knee. The top skirt is trimmed with pink ribbon, serpenting round the bottom, forming deep festoons. The body is trimmed with ribbons, descending en ceeur from the shoulders to the waist. The small sleeves are trimmed in the same style. The coiffure is of beautiful an lias, fixed behind the plait with a diamond comb. A white organdi dress, with five flounces, each edged with three rows of pink satin ribbon ; the middle one twice the width of the outer one. The coiffure is composed of a wreath of roses mixed with diamonds ; the bouquet on the body to match. A robe of white organdi, with five flounces, trimmed with four stripes of satin of shaded pink,:made in the material. The body a la Louis XV. was trimmed across with stripes of satin and bouillonnes. The coiffure is a wreath of variegated roses, harmonising with the trimming of the robe. A robe of pink taffetas d'ltalie, low bodied h la Louis XV., with an over skirt of Malines tulle of the same shade, upon which are placed above the hem five rows of terry velvet, repeated to within a quarter of a yard from the waist. The body of the tulle robe is high, and trimmed with narrow velvet, forming a sheaf upon the front of the body, united at the waist and spreading over the chest, reaching the ruche of tulle round the waist. The head dress was a single rose encircled with rosebuds placed rather behind on the left side. A robe of light blue taffetas d'ltalie, k la Louis XV., with an over one of blue Malines, with five rows of pinked taffetas ; high body and sleeves trimmed with narrow ruche; the coiffure and bouquet in the band of the flowers of the same shade as the dress. Bonnets for visiting are in general more trimmed than formerly, but the open edge is now disconti nued. Capotes are less worn, and it must be owned that the bonnet admits of more variety and elegance in the trimming. Among those we have observed, we must mention one of white terry velvet lined with white satin, which turns over the front, covered with blonde from the crown. A bias of satin is placed round the front. The crown was trimmed with bands and leaves of terry velvet, lined with satin. Two ostrich feathers are placed on the side, and run round the back over the curtain; bunches of grapes of cerise coloured velvet, with a very pretty blonde ; the strings are of cerise satin ribbon, the same shade as the grapes. A black velvet bonnet lined with pink satin ; a deep black lace, embroidered with jet, falls over the small crown. A capote of pink satin, with two drawings flat at the edge, upon which two narrow blondes are ga thered, fixed with a satin ribbon ; the crown is plaited, forming a half round, to which is attached a blonde about two inches deep ; this falls over the curtain, which is edged with a narrow blonde to match ; the trimming is three roses, one white, one pink, and one yellow ; the inside is trimmed to match. A. black velvet bonnet, trimmed with marabout!, and floating ends of narrow yellow terry velvet ribbon. A. green velvet bonnet, with bunches of daisies, lilac, and violets outside, and in a wreath round the face. A ruby coloured velvet, trimmed with black lace, and white r oses i ns id e w ith ru by velvet leaves. A capote of pale blue satin, with black blonde trimming inside and out.

A more simple style for promenade is of black velvet, trimmed with six rows of pions, in lieu of the lace, with a deep mess y fringe at bottom ; the capuchen is lined with black satin, made flat, with two large tassels. Black lace embroidered with jet is much used for trimmings of manteaux mantelets, robes, and veils. TOLLETTEB DE VILLE.—A robe of taffetas d'ltalie THE STRIKE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR ,—Feeling sure you will have the kindness to in sert these few lines in your most valuable paper, I have availed myself of the present opportunity to express, in as few words as possible, my sentiments respecting the conduct of the two parties (the employers and the operative engineers), who have excited so much interest th rou ghout our country, and that with good cause, for is it not much to be dep lored that not only both parties ' must themselves be greatly injured by the present state of affairs, but that also the interest of our country will suffer very materially from the consequences? Respecting the conduct of the employers, my sentiments as nearly aspossible are expressed in the valuable letter your paper contained this evening, signed " Daleth," with which I agree in every word. In my humble opinion the employers have shown a very bad feeling towards the men throughout the whole affair. Was it just of the employers, supposing that the men belonging to the society were altogether wrong in their demands, for them to close their manufactories against all, many of whom had no connexion with the society, or had even expressed a wish for a change of any sort? Surely every one who has given the matter fair consideration will, in this instauce, acknowledge they have acted in a most arbitrary manner, because they are to a great extent independent of their manufactories, having amassed great wealth from the labours of the very men whom they have now thrown out upon the world to starve, for aught they care, as long as they carry out their own selfish views. It is true wealth has given them power, but let them beware how they use that power. A day of reckoning will come when they will have to give an account of their stewardship. But a few words respecting the conduct of the men under their present trying circumstances. As a Chris tian and an Englishman, I deeply sympathise with them in their present difficulties; they have, indeed, shown a noble example to every one by the peaceable conduct they have evinced towards their oppressors. But I must apologise for having taken up so much space in your valuable paper. Trusting that the employers will yet be led to see that they, at any rate, are partly in the wrong, and firmly believing au All-wise Providence will eventually can.° right to prevail over wrong, I beg to subscribe myself a well-wisher of mankind, Knightsbridge, Jan. 27.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 30. (Sittings in Middlesex, at Nisi Prins, in Hilary Term, before Mr. Baron MARTIN and Common Juries.) MENDOZA V. WOOLLEY. This was an action to recover cotapensation in da mages for an assault. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ro binson was counsel fur the defendant. The plaintiff is an old clothesman, and the defendant is a member of the equity bar. The circumstances of the case will be gathered from the accompanying evi dence : Mendoza—l am the plaintiff, and I live in Ilonndss ditch. I have eight children. I deal in old clothes, and on the 27th of November I was collecting clothes in Halfmoon-street, Piccadilly. About half-past nine o'clock that morning I saw a gentleman standing at the door of No. 27, in that street. He had his hat off. Thinking that he had called me I went across and asked him if he had any cast-off wearing apparel to dispose of. He said, " You Jew thief, do you think I sell old clothes ?" I said, " Whom do you call a thief ?" He said, " You Jew thief, I will knock your d—d head off," and then gave me a terrific blow on the cheek. I reeled and fell into the middle of the street. When I re covered myself the gentleman was standing at the door, and as I was going back towards him he threw out with his feet and kicked me several times, till I fell again into the road. On my recovering myself I looked to wards the house and found the door was shut. I saw a woman cleaning the steps at No. 20, the house opposite. I spoke to her, and then managed to crawl home, and was kept in bed three days. Some time afterwards I went to the Vice-Chancellor's Court, where I saw the person who assaulted me dressed up in his robes and wig. I knew him when I saw him. Before this I had gone to my attorney. Cross-examined—l have lived in my present house ever since it was built—seven or eight years. I did not see a little dog at the door with this gentleman. That is the gentleman sitting there, and he is the same I saw at Lincoln's Inn in his wig and gown. He was not puiuted out to me. I have no doubt of his being the man who assaulted me on the 27th of November. That gentleman up there is not the gentleman. The defen dant had a dark coat on, and lightish coloured trousers —speckled. I cannot say whether he had slippers on or bouts, notwithstanding I felt them when he kicked me. I was on the other side of the street, and I went over because I thought he called me. I touched my hat to the gentleman in the first instance. He did not say he did not call me. I did not use any offensive observations. I feel the effects of the blow even now very much. After he knocked me down the first time I was walking quietly towards him. When I went back he kicked me several times; the first kick I warded off with my hand. I had three kicks, certainly, because I was " obligated" to take them.—(Laughter.) The kicks followed each other very quickly, and, as I re tired from them, he came after me. I got home between ten and eleven o'clock, but did not take to my bed till the third day after the assault. I saw my attorney before I took to my bed. On the day after the assault I went up to Halfmoon-street, and obtained from the servant the names of her master, Mr. John Tartan Woolley. The assault was on Thursday, and on the Friday I got this information from the servant at the house. Robert Bell—l served the writ upon that gentleman, at his house in Halfmoon-street, and, to the best of my belief, he is the same I saw in the Vice-Chancellor's Court. Ann Ward—l remember the 27th of November, and on that morning was cleaning the steps of the door of No. 20. I saw the plaintiff come by. Prior to the as sault I saw a gentleman standing at the door of No. 27. The plaintiff asked him it he had any old clothes to sell, when the gentleman called him a " Jew thief," and pre sently knocked him down. I believe that gentleman to be the one. Cross-examined—The plaintiff has called on me twice since the assault. I never knew him before. That is like the gentleman. He is about his height. I will not swear that the other was not the gentleman, Edward Haten, the assistant of a medical gentleman at Islington, proved having attended the plaintiff. His face was very much inflamed, his arm bruised, and his left leg also. Tho plaintiff was ordered to bed, some liniment was supplied to him, and medical attendance upon him was necessary for more than three weeks. Cross-examined —I attended the plaintiff rather as a friend, for I had bought clothes of him. I attended him about ten times during the three weeks. Mr. ROBINSON, on the part of the defendant, said that he would call his client, who did not commit this assault, and also the uncle of that gentleman's wife, who really did commit it. It would then be for the jury to say which of the parties they believed, and find accordingly. J. T. Woolley—l am a member of the bar, and live in Halfmoon-street. On the morning in question the uncle of my wife was on a visit to us. I did not assault any one on that morning. Cross-examined—My uncle was with me at that time. I was served with the writ at the door of my house. Hearing a noise in the street I went to my window, and saw the plaintiff standing near the pavement. I did not see him on the ground. I received a letter from Mr. De Medina, but I did not reply to it, When I was served with the writ, I said nothing as to my not being the person who had committed the assault. I did not hear any swearing from either of the parties when I heard the altercation acing on. Charles Benjamin Blayds—l am a gentleman. I have been in the army, and live upon my means. I was on a visit at my niece's, and committed the assault, as the plaintiff has stated. Cross-examined—Last night I slept in Conduit-street West, the night before at the Craven Hotel, and the night before that at East Cowes. I have no settled re sidence, but travel about. I live upon my means—rents. I can't tell you what the amount is, as they vary each year perhaps. I spend my time in smoking cigars, walking about, reading the newspapers, and now and then at a theatre.—(Laughter.) Mr. HAWKINS replied, and Mr. Baron MARTIN summod up. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant, adding, that in their opinion the plaintiff was mistaken as to the person. Mr. Baron MARTIN thought so too. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 30.

The insolvent was procured by Mr. Bignall, being his bootmaker, to be one of the bail for Charles Nottidge, his cook, who was committed by the magistrates at Brighton for alleged perjury in attempting to justify in the case of Broome, Staden, and James, committed for alleged cheating at cards in a matter which has been frequently before the public. The insolvent was given 2501. by Bignall, and he went down to Brighton on the sth of September last to justify, but was not called, as the required notice had not been given, and a Mr. Potter, the joint bail, justified in the sum of 5001., and Nottidge was discharged. The money was given to the insolvent on two occasions; 1501. by Bignall, and afterwards by a person another 100/. On his return from Brighton the insolvent the same night returned the 100/. given to him, and an the following day (Saturday) called on Mr. Bin 11 supposed, with Mr. Potter, to return the 1501., as was following, but he was not at home.

The insolvent paid him a guinea for his advice, and he did not remember that he cad told him it was cheap at that sum, as he bad got the 150/. in a very easy manner. Mr. CooKE contended that Mr. Bignall had been robbed of the 1501., and prayed an exemplary judgment. There was a clear breach of trust. The plea was most extraordinary, and no attempt on the trial was made to support it. The Learned Counsel said his impression was that the insolvent had still the 1501., and had not spent it. Mr. SARGOOD, in his address, admitted that there must be a judgment, but thought the opposite side were not without blame, and not of so much respectability se to be entitled to much consideration. There was no doubt the money bad all been spent. Mr. Commissioner LAW gave judgment. He was of opinion that a very dirty fraud had been practised by the insolvent on Mr. Bignall, with respect to the 150/. He had eheated him out of the money. He did not sup pose that when he saw Mr. Potter, on the day after they came from Brighton, that he meant to keep the money. Ile had been tempted by the devil to do so, and unhappily for him when he waited on the attorney he was confirmed in his mind. It was a very dirty fraud—a breach of trust, and the defence was vexatious. His Honour adjudged the insolvent to a❑ imprisonment of fifteen calendar months, at the suit of Bignall, for a breach of trust and vexatious defence. SHIP NEWS. NOTICE TO MARINERS. Lisbon, Jan. 24.
