Glory be to the Reformers of Paris !—to the liberal Opposition !—to the gamins of the Fau bourgs !—to those Reformers, to those Deputies, to those artizans, .who have evinced such a sublime mo deration in such an unparalleled emergency. Never were a free people so goaded on to revolt by the criminalities of an insensate and unprincipled Govern ment as the population of France have been under the sombre administration of GUIZOT. Never before did a great nation vindicate its liberties in a manner more august and bloodless. Its aspirations scorned, its loyalty abused, its civil rigt.ts subverted, and its political institutions disor ganized —peculation winked at by its Cabinet, a Cabinet whose members were professedly incorruptible—tying and prevarications adopted as the habitual weapons of its diplomatists--- red-handed murderers allowed to escape with impunity into the grave or the dungeon, the one saved from tlae expiation of his infamies upon the guillotine by a phi a l of laudanum, the other sheltered from the tignominy of the galleys by a flagrant misprisi on of the penal enactments—nationality violated in Spain, reform abandoned in Italy, despotism abett e d i n Switzerland—its representative in Athens a stock jobber, in Vienna an absolutist, and in St. Peters burgh a promoter of spoliation—Cracow abandoned to its destiny, Algeria ravaged into obedience, and ABD•EL•KADEJ, cajoled into a convention for the purpose of being securely incarcerated, with all these provocations and a thousand others more imminent, more personal, snore local, more galling, and more us/justifiable, France has preserved its tranquillity, and Paris has compelled the Ministers to retire by a sudden, spontaneous, unbloody, and majestic demon stration. Since the occurrences recounted in our impression of yesterday, extraordinary changes h ave been effected in the Vrezehremetropolls. Thro ug h ou t th e whole of Tuesday t abatement whatever of the popular excitement7aspaanndtio, although the railings around the Chamber of De ands Aireaigrsate way of the young workmen in blouses, were escaladed by , Hotel of the Minister of Foreign was p ea l rs t o t battered with a shower of stones, the insurrection P have been conducted with a certain degree almost of vivacity and merriment. The sun shone brightly THE SUN the capital when the streets, the squares, the ' quays, and the bridges, were crowded with battalions of the 80,000 troops which form the garrison of that beautiful city, and which manoeuvred among the dense masses of unarmed citizens. Occasionally, it is true, a gunmaker's shop was sacked ; spikes were torn from the iron-railings ; an omnibus or a pia ;re was overturned to form an artificial obstruction ; and the flagstones of the pavements were thrown up into barricades—but more generally the mob amused themselves with the peaceful demonstration of their numerical strength, ;and revealed by the fervour and unanimity of their outcries, the resolutions by which they were animated, and the extremities to which they might be driven in the event of those resolu tions being contemned. Bodies of civilians, without weapons of any description, marched at intervals along the causeways (sometimes in compact companies of six thousand men), singing the Marseillaise or the Parisienne, or the famous chorus of the Gitondins, Mourir pour la Patrie ! As the evening of Tuesday closed in, these movements and clamours were redoubled both in energy and number, and those who remained in-doors listened in the profound darkness (for most of the lamps were either broken or extinguished) to the trampling of many thousand feet on the roadway of the Boulevards as the insurgents beat time in their march to the measure of the great national hymn : "Aux armes, citoyenne ! Formez yes bataillons! litarchons qu'un sang impur abreuve nos salons." Amidst all this perilous agitation the night-air resounded throughout Paris with the cries of a people too much in earnest to slumber; those cries were— " A bas Guizot! A bas le Ministb.e! La tete de Guizot! A bas l'homme de Gand ! Vice la Re forme ! Vive la Ligne !" It cannot be imagined, even by the most credulous, that such an outbreak is merely the ebullition of an idle passion on the part of a miserable or infuriated rabble. ODILLON BARROT has proved it to be otherwise by the Impeachment of the Cabinet " which he submitted to the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday. That impeachment is so ad mirable, so cogent, so accurate, so resolute, that we shall here lay it clause by clause before our readers. "We propose," say the Deputies of the Opposition, signed to the number of fifty three. "'We propose to place the Ministry as Guilty— " 1. Of having betrayed abroad the honour and the interests of France. "2. Of having falsified the principles of the con stitution, violated the guarantees of liberty, and at tacked the rights of the people. " 3. Of having, by a systematic corruption, at tempted to substitute, for the free expression of public opinion, the calculations of private interest, and thus perverted the representative government. "4. Of having trafficked for Ministerial purposes in public offices, as well as in all the prerogatives and privileges of power. " 5. For having, in the same interest, wasted the finance: of the State, and thus compromised the forces and the grandeur of the kingdom. "6. Of having violently despoiled the citizens of a right inherent to every free constitution, and the exercise of which had been guaranteed to them by the charter, by the laws, and by former precedents. " 7. Of having, in fine, by a policy overtly counter revolutionary, placed in question all the conquests of our two revolutions, and thrown the country into a profound agitation." in consequence of this noble and spirited im peachment —an impeachment so inexorably true and damnatory—in consequence of the resolute behaviour of the populace, and the calm determination they have evinced to elicit certain constitutional concessions from the Government, M. GuizoT and his colleagues were yesterday compelled to deliver in their resigna tions, and immediately afterwards Count MOLE was summoned to the Tuileries for the purpose of forming a new Administration. So ends the Ministerial career of GUIZOT-a statesman who is as immaculate in principle as an historian, as he is profligate in action as an adminis trator. With a genius formed for nobler desti nies, he has degraded his name among those of the most licentious Ministers of the age. He has not only tarnished his reputation by his connivance at the peculations proved in his own creatures, he has not only winked at the venality of those who— ._ " Gather .gold in slimy ways," by appraising the influence of the State, and huckster ing the offices of the Legislature, hut he has risen to an almost tyrannic elevation by many tortuous and infamous devices, and has at last been hurled back into obscurity and insignificance by the wrath of an outraged and infuriated people. After an in surrectionary movement so extraordinary as that which has recently taken place in the metropolis of France, it would be frivolous to expect that the Pari sians will instantly abate their enthusiasm, and re turn to their ordinary and domestic avocations. The spirit of revolt which has been so furiously heated of late must long seeth after so remarkable an ebullition. Especially must this pro longation of the popular rage be expected when the rumoured remark of Marshal BUGEAUD (recently ap pointed the Military Governor of Paris) is borne in recollection. "Je mitraillerai la canaille d'une bonne rnanierel" exclaimed the conqueror of Algeria when he heard of the rise and progress of the insurrection. That insurrection has ended triumphantly fur the people—as is shown by the resignation of GUIZOT--... but the very success achieved by the citizens of Paris proclaims that the movement has not terminated, but that numerous and comprehensive reforms have become inevitable. It would seem that Mr. CHISHOLM ANSTEY is resolved—notwithstanding the well-natured ob structions raised by Parliament--to make himself eminently and memorably ridiculous. With an un wholesome idea of the responsibilities devolving upon himself as the representative of Youghal, the Honourable Gentleman has persisted in gorging the House of Commons with a monstrous catalogue of monster charges, in a monster speech, upon a monster motion. Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, we suspect, for the fame of Mr. ANSTEY, the House was more leniently disposed towards his address yes terday evening than on the occasion of its first com mencement. It heard him out to the consummating invective and to the very last attenuated and perora tive slander. We doubt much whether the quietude evinced by the llonourable Gentlemen the Members of the Representative Chamber of the Legislature, was not attributable to that relish which is experi enced by most Englishmen in any thing approximat ing to an assault . land battery. A row is sine. thing quite after the heart of a, Briton, especially if the assailant and the assailed are alike conspicuous for their pluck, and still more especially if the belligerents are preposterously ill matched in regard alike to their strength and their dimensions This was precisely the case in the pre sent instance when the accuser, Mr. ANSTEY, ex hibited a very laughaVie pugnacity, and when the accused, Viscount PAY.ZIERSTON, betrayed no decided disinclination whate'ver to stand the consequences of the onslaught. Atter the tremendous " yarn" spun by the lionouraVie Member for Youghal yesterday after noon —. a speech crowded with abusive personalities am r .tstretching over seven'mortal columns—we shall not '.teary our readers with an enumeration of the many ludicrous tales with which the hue of his narrative: is variegated. Many, indeed, of his allusions and state ments were made so loosely and irresolutely in tone and language, that we are disposed to imagine that the orator had only indifferently conned the brief Placed in his hands by the Hon. Gentleman the Mem ber for Stafford—for, as Mr. SMELL very hap pily observed yesterday, " It is obvious that ANSTET eloquence is the result of URQUILART inspiration." Prom Adrianople to St. Petersburgh, from the Dardanelles to Affghanistan, from the island of Carac to the mountain ranges of Texas, from the year ONE to the year 1848, the facts or fictions of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Youghal have been very indus triously culled, and very indifferently collated. The finger of contumely is pointed to the Noble Lord, her Majesty's Chief Secretary for Foreign Affairs, even in reference to periods and occurrences antecedent either to his bodily or offi cial birth. He, it would seem, is more peculiarly ac countable for original sin than, perhaps, any other of the children of ADAM. Poor Mr. DYCE SOMBRE! to be proclaimed a lunatic by law, while Mr. ANS TET , is allowed to crack his bi scu its in at Bellamy s, and Mr. TTEQunaur may, if it so please him, crack his jokes (supposing so lugubrious a gentleman ever to have any) within the shadow of St. Margaret's Lord 4.l4ausxozi could scarcely have spoken in a tone of more ineffable dignity, or of more withering and unutterable disdain. Let us imagine to ourselves the feelings with which any man, however insignificant his services to his country, would listen to a prolonged accusation like that arti culated yesterday against the Noble Viscount—let us imagine to ourselves the indignation with which any Klan, however humble, would hearken to one against whom he had never even wagged a finger injuriously, :traducing his whole career, and distorting every action and motive of his existence ; and we shall be enabled to appreciate the self-com mand of the Foreign Secretary in meeting the charges levelled against him in a tone so deliberate and unim passioned. " I will endeavour," said he, "to avoid the use of language which I think is only disgrace ful to those who employ it—(Loud cheers) — language at variance with the rules of this House —(Cheers)—with the courtesies of society, and with the practice of gentlemen.—(Continued cheer ing.) In such language, Sir, I at least shall cer tainly not express myself. I must, however, be per mitted to repel in terms the most comprehensive, in language the most positive and complete—the charges •f every kind and description which the Honourable and Learned Gentleman and the Member for Staf ford have brought and asserted against me this day. —(Cheers.) Sir, if it were not out of respect for this House, and on account of what I feel to be due by a public man to the country—if the ques tion were merely a question between myself and these two Members of Parliament; then, Sir, I doubt whether I should condescend—(Tremendous cheering)— I doubt, I say, whether I should condescend even to contradict and to disprove those assertions.—(Cheers.) But, Sir, not only do I repel with the indignation, and scorn, and disdain, and contempt, which are the only appropriate sentiments which a man in my position can express for charges so false and unfounded as those which have been this day adduced against me ; but I declare to this House that if it be their pleasure to institute an inquiry into the whole of my public conduct, from the first day when I entered the public service down to the moment in which I am now speaking—that there is not a document, not a public or official document in the records of the Foreign-office—there is not a private letter or a con fidential communication in my own possession, which I will not with readiness and with pride submit to the examination of such a Committee—of a Committee, if it be so decided, formed exclusively of my political opponents.—(Cheers.)" 'We congratulate the Noble Viscount on the self possession evinced by him on an occasion so sin gularly trying to his equanimity, and we lament that any young Member like Mr. CHISHOLM ANSTEY should have had the ineffable temerity and the con summate arrogance to violate in a manner so pecu liarly flagrant the proprieties . of Parliamentary de corum.

In the course of the afternoon the solicitors appeared in court and agreed that a verdict should be entered for 500/. Nothing transpired in court as to the position in life of the parties or the circumstances of the case. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) IDENTITY.—E)nma Walker, a married woman, of re spectable appearance, was indicted for stealing a half sovereign, th: e property of Alexander Martin, from the person of Ueorge Smith. The prosecutor, a boy, about twelve years of age, stated, that on Saturday evening, t.t.,e Bth of February, he was pent to Mr. Soames's, pawn broker, in Bury-street, Chelsea, to redeem some articles from pawn. Whilst there he was accosted by the pri soner, who inquired in a friendly way after bis mother's health, and other family matters. She said her name was Walker, and asked him to go to the tea shop for her, promising to give him twopence for his trouble, and undertaking also bo attend to his ledge and take charge of his money in the mean time, On his return from the tea-shop, he found that the woman for whom he had gone upon the errand had departed with his half sovereign. The boy swore positively to the identity of the prisoner, but on cross-examination by M r . P ayne , he admitted gnat when Mr. Suamea sent for her that he (witness) might say if she was the Mrs. Walker who robbed him or not, he did not at first recognise her, nor was he quite positive about her identity, until after he had seen her three times and heard her speak. Mr. &Ames, the prosecutor, and several respectable witnesses, gave the prisoner a high character for honesty, and Mr, Payne having addressed the jury for the defence, The AssisTANT JUDGE put it to them to say, whether, after hearing such a character of the prisoner, they could suppose that the boy Smith was not mistaken as to his identity. It was not at all likely that she would have given her own name to the prosecutor at the mo ment of committing the theft, or that she would go back to the same shop on the Monday next and the fol lowing day. Tho jury, without hesitation, acquitted the prisoner. Mr. PAYNE stated that some other children had recently been robbed in that neighbourhood by a woman, in the same manner as the boy George Smith. Two of these had been brought before the magistrate to see the prisoner, and they declared that she had no resemblance to the woman who had robbed them. DEATH OF LORD GRANVILLE SOMERSET, M.P.— This distinguished nobleman died at half-past ten o'clock last evening at his residence in Harley -street. The fatal complaint was a disease of the heart and a general break-up of the constitution, consequent, it is said, on the excitement which attended the late Monmouth elec tion, and the annoyance which he experienced from the petition against his return. He was attended up to the last moment by his brother, the Duke of Beaufort, and in the chamber of death their differences ceased. NORTH AMERICAN LINE or STEAM-PACIERTS.--- We observe that another vessel in connexion with this splendid line of steamers has been towed up from Port Glasgow, and is now lying at Laneefield• quay, where there are no fewer than three noble vessels at present. The America i s ex p ecte d to ma k e h er trial trip on Thursday, the 2d proximo, and, from the activity dis played in M r . N a pi er ' s w h ar f , there i s every probability that the Niagara will soon follow in her wake. The third vessel, the Europa, has been but recently launched from the building-yard of Mr. Wood, Port Glasgow, and the remaining vessel (there being four contracted for by the company) is at present on the stocks at Mr. Steel's yard in Greenock. From the celebrity which Clyde-built steamers havealready attained, the perform ances of these fine vessels will be looked forward to with great inte rest.—Glasgow Courier. We hear that Air. ll a tt on H amer S tansf i eld, an Official Assignee of the Court of Bankruptcy for the Leeds District, has been appointed to the London Dis trict, Yamt by the death of Mr. A, B. Belcher. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, 1848. RENEWED DISTURBANCES IN PARIS RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. The Paris papers of yesterday are filled with details of the events of the revolution—for it is a revolution, and a successful revolution, too, of which Paris was on Tuesday and Wednesday the theatre. The question of Reform, and of the right of public meeting, may be considered as carried ; for the Ministers have resigned, and the KING has yielded. We resume the history ofithese important events from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday. Shortly after five o'clock on Tuesday a collision took place in the Rue St. Honoxe. A squadron of dragoons charged the people sword in hand, and a great slaughter took place. The conflict was going on at the time the last accounts left. Several wounded had been taken to the hospitals. There is a large park of artillery in the Champs de Mars, in front of the Ecole Militaire, with officers and men in attendance ready for action. All the money securities, &c., of the Bank of France have been removed to the caves of that establishment, so as to be in safety in the event of the building being destroyed. In several of the gas manufactories the workmen have declared that they will not suffer any gas to be lighted during the night. This is a new and most important element in the conduct of popular insurrections, and may lead to most unlooked-for results. Throughout Paris the feeling is bitter against M. GUISOT ! A bas Guizot 1 La fele dc Guizot 1 A vingt cinq francs la tete de Guizot I are the popular cries. The movement is not confined to the merely poor and destitute. The opponents of the troops are for the most part composed of tradesmen and the better sort of mechanics, and in many instances masters have shut up their establishments, in order to afford their men an opportunity of taking part in this manifestation. At half-past six the people had obtained pos session of the Rue de Rivoli (close to the Tuileries), and were unpaving it, using the paving stones to form barricades. The hotel of M. GUIZOT was filled with soldiers. It had been repeat edly attacked. The hotel of M. GUIZOT, the Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elysees, and the Place de la Carrousel were all occupied by troops, but it was evident that, with the exception of the Municipal Guards, their hearts were with the people. The National Guard assembled at the beating of the rappel, and it was at first supposed that they would act against the people. The contrary, however, was the case. The National Guard raised the cries of " Vive la Reforme !" " A bas Guizet!" and fraternised with the people. From that moment the triumph of the cause of reform was secure. The officers commanding the troops of the line had an interview with the officers of the National Guard, in the course of which, the officers of the National Guard declared, " The National Guard sympathise with the people who demand reform. They will not assist in dispersing them ; and if the people are attacked the National Guard will defend them." There was some desperate fighting in the Rue des Petits Peres and Marche des Innocens, but an event occurred at the Rue des Petits Peres, which must have tended materially to aid the cause of the people. The National Guards there assembled (the 3d Legion) were the first to declare in favour of reform, and the Municipal Guards were ordered to charge them. The National Guard stood their ground, and bayonets were crossed, when the Colonel of the National Guard, M. TEXTORIX exclaimed, " Hold, soldiers, these are the people, respect the people." Immediately the Municipal Guards shouldered their muskets and re tired to . their posts amidst the cheers of the people. During the night there was severe fighting in the Rue Montmartre, and in the Faubourgs St. Denis and St. Antoine. In the Faubourg St. Denis the fight ing was very severe. In the Faubourg St. Antoine the people were early victorious. In the quarter of the Temple the streets were strewed with broken glass to prevent the cavalry from charging. General JACQUEMINOT, the Commander of the National Guards, went round to the different arrondissements, and attempted to harangue the men, but they refused to listen to him. At three o'clock in the morning the Colonel of the Second Legion of the National Guards, accompanied by an officer, went to the Tuileries, and announced to the KING that he could not answer for the fidelity of his men. This account must have obtained ready cre dence from the KING, as he could not but hear the cries of " A bas Guizotin " Tire la Reforme l" raised by the National Guard assembled outside the gardens of the Tuileries. At four o'clock in the morning it was announced to the people that the Mi nistry had resigned. They received the an nouncement with cheers, but exclaimed, " It is not enough, we must have reform." From that mo- ment, however, fighting cemed, and Marshal BUAEAUD, who had been invested with the command of the troops, wa3 escorted home by the National Guard. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. Tho Chamber of Deputies met yesterday at the usual hour. A deputation of officers of the National Guard, the most of them belonging to the 4th Legion, made their way through the Place de la Concorde, where an immense crowd had congregated, and across the bridge to the Chamber of Deputies, for the pur pose of presenting a petition to the Chamber in favour of Reform. The battalion of the 10th Legion, which is on duty at the Chamber of Deputies, immedi tely took up their arms, and went to meet the approa th ing party by cheers. At the middle of the Pont de la Concorde the two columns met, General TREZL the Minister of War, who accompanied the battalit n of the 10th Legion, addressed the advancing party, and remonstrated with them on the unconstitutional nature of their proceedings, and the commander o the 10th declared that he would not allow the peti tioners to pass. M. °DILLON BARROT and M. GAR NIER PAGES, then went forward for the purpose of communicating with the advancing party, but on some representations being made to them, they thought it wise to retire, and they returned to the Chamber, and the petition was consequently not pre sented. M. VAvrrr, the Deputy of the 11th arrondissement of Paris, then rose in his place, and in the name of him self and the other Deputies for Paris, addressed some questions to the Minister of the Interior, with respect to the events of which Paris is at the present moment the theatre.; M. GUIZOT, who had shortly before entered the Chamber, immediately rose and said —" I have nothing to say at the present moment to the interpal lations of the Honourable Member. The KIING has sent for Count Mons, who is empowered to form a Ministry."—(Loud cries of " Bravo" and cheers fol lowed this announcement, which appeared to annoy M. GmzoT.) He then continued,—" We are not to be prevented by such manifestations as those I now hear, as long as we remain in office, which will be till our successors are appointed, from doing our duty. We shall consider ourselves answerable for all that may happen. We shall act in everything we do according to our best judgment and our con sciences, and according to what we consider the interests of the country." After some interruption created by this announce. ment, M. ODILLON BARROT rose, and said—ln conse quence of the situation of the Cabinet, I demand the adjournment of the proposition which I made yester day (the impeachment).—(Loud cries of Yes, yes,' and ' No, no.') I will submit to the decision of the Chamber on the point.—(No, no.) M. DUPIN then rose and said—The first thing ne cessary for the capital is peace. It must be relieved from anarchy. Every one knows that tha spirit of July exists yet. Homage has been done to the rest of the nation. But the people must know that its de liberations must not be on the public way. The as semblages must cease. I do not see how the Ministry, who are provisionally charged with public affairs, can occupy themselves at the same time in re-establishing order, and with the care of their own safety. I de mand the adjournment of the provision presented yes terday.—(Loud cries of "No, no.") M. GUIZOT—As long as 'the Cabinet shall be en trusted with public affairs, it will make the law be respected. The Cabinet Seed ao rewn why the chamber should suspend its labours. The Crown at the present moment is using its prerogative. That prerogative must be respected. As long as the Cabinet is upon these benches, no business need re main suspended. The President then put the question as to the ad journment of M. ODILLON BARROT'S proposition. About one hundred members of the Opposition sup- ported the adjournment; the whole of the Conserva tives were against it. The Chamber immediately rose in great agitation. When M. GUIZOT was entering the Chamber before announcing his resignation, the 10th Legion of the National Guard on duty, saluted him with " A has Guizot," " Vice Louis Philippe." M. GuizoT looked annoyed, and passed on without making any remark. A minute afterwards, M. MURET: (de Bort) came out of the Chamber, and announced that M. GUIZOT and his colleagues were out of office. The announcement was received with loud cheers, and immediately spread like wildfire. In less than half-an-hour it was known all over Paris. The following it is said will be the new Ministerial Cabinet : Count MOLE ... . I President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. DUrAURE .. . . Interior. M. VIVIEN M. BILLA ULT . . . M. GouIN M. PASSY M. TOCQUEVILLE M. LAVYER, or 1 Public Works. Count limur .... The War Department is not mentioned. We need hardly say that this combination is only con jectural. We take the following accounts of the events of Tuesday and Wednesday from the various Paris papers which have come to hand : The Presse of the 23d states that— " Workmen have been employed the whole morn ing in taking away the preparations which had been made for the banqtaet. Towards half-past nine A.M., a body of about 500 men of horse and foot Municipal Guards arrived in the Champs Elysees, and took pos- Fession of the ground adjacent to that which was destined for the banquet. The manifestation was to take place in a large enclosed field, situated between the Rue de Chaillot and the barriere of Longcbamps ; a vast tent had been raised, but a very few persons knew the place where the meeting would be held, and therefore there was no gathering in that quarter." The National contains the following : " P.S.—AT ONE O'CLOCK, A.M.-All is quiet in the quarter of St. Martin. The troops are camped along the Boulevards, from the Boulevard Bonne-Nouvelle up to the gate of St. Martin ; they will probably pass the night before the fires they have made. The place of the market of Innocents is covered with soldiers. Pickets circulate in all the adjacent streets, and nu longer meet with any resistance. "The following are the only accounts we have re ceived on what has taken place. The people succes sively occupied the Rue Tiquetonne, Bourg l'Abbe, Grenetat, and Transnonaine. Not more than 30 or 40 had arms, and in a short time had used all their ammunition. The most murderous engagement took place in a house in the Rue Beaubourg, where five prisoners had been locked up. Their comrades trying to rescue them, a collision took place between the Municipal Guard and the people. One of the Muni cipal Guard was killed, and another wounded; a young man was also killed. The prisoners remained in the hands of the public force. Between twelve and one o'clock A.m. the rest had dispersed." We extract the following from Galignanis llfes senger: _ _ inz RIOTS.—AII the different points of the capital, especially those in which the greatest danger exists, were this morning occupied by the troops. At twelve o'clock barricades were established at all the corners of the Rue St. Denis and the Rue St. Martin, and in other quarters ; and at that time an engagement was being carried on between the troops and the populace. At the corner of the Rue Mandar and Rue Montmattre, a barricade is also established, behind which are men armed with pikes and muskets. We are informed that many of the National Guard refuse to march, except to the cry of " Vice la Mfforme" and even in their ranks the Marseillaise is sung. In the quarter of the Temple the mob has cast broken glass on the ground to prevent charges of cavalry. Troops of boys are running about in all directions, armed with sticks and clubs, smashing the gas lamps. The omnibuses have ceased running, and most of the shops in the principal streets are closed. In the Champs Elysees strong detachments of cavalry are now stationed, with hay and provisions. The National Guards, both of foot and cavalry, are to be seen hurrying to their posts. Numbers of ad ditional troops have this morning reached Paris from the country. P.S. We have just been informed that the officers of the Second Legion have gone in a body to the Tuileries. The Presse sft3s :—" The whole of the quarter of the Faubourg Montmartre and of the quarter Pois sonni6re were near remaining last night in complete obscurity. The workmen of the two establishments which supply those districts with gas met in their workshops, and declared that they would not permit the gas to be lit in the evening, and that if the cocks were turned they had decided to cut the pipes. The authorities, after a long parley, were obliged to send for the troops and have the establishments e►a cuated." We read in the National:—" The following note has been transmitted to us—' Three Deputies of Paris, MM. TAILLANDIER, CARROT, and VAVIN, in the name of the Deputies of the Seine, proceeded after the sitting of the Chamber to the Prefect to express to him the painful astonishment which the population felt at the absence of the National Guard of Paris. Its co-operation, which since 1830 had always been had recourse to in all moments of crisis, would have been most precious to prevent deplorable collisions. Why had the Government avoided dis playing in the streets of the capital that uniform which is the symbol of order and liberty!'

SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.—The anniversary dinner of this society, which was incorporated to carry out a most praiseworthy end, and has been the means of doing inestimable good to a class of men, whose suffer ings were formerly unheeded, or at least unrelieved, took place yesterday evening at the London Tavern. Admiral I)undas, M.P., was in the chair; and upwards of 130 gentlemen, among whom were Sir J. OmPianney, Captain Ellice, Mr. Felgate, Captain Milne, Captain Sparahott, Cfptain H. Stuart, &c., sat down to an excel lent dinner. From the report it appeared that a great number of seamen, of all nations, had been received and cured on board the hospital ship, and that it the funds were increased its usefulness might be very much ex. tended. Among the subscribers w ere the Queen (100) Earl of Auckland, Prince Albert, &c.

Animals were much and a carriage taking home a party from the Opera sus tained much damage from the horses becoming tannin ' nageable. Many of the inhabitants rushed into the streets in their night garments, and but few resumed their beds, under the fear that another such shock might bury them in their dwellings. Indeed, much dismay still prevailed at the moment of the departure of the mail, as it has been usually found that a repetition of an earthquake takes place at or within twenty-four hours from the first shock. Great fears are entertained that some of the towns of Sicily, particularly QA the western side of the Wand, rail have suffered. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was rather a heavy market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, prices being steady. Sales, 3,500 bales, of which 2,500 bales were American, at 40. to id per lb. Railway shares have been flat, and prices were a shade lower. The Tay steamer, from the West Indies, is tele graphed as having arrived off. Southampton. The letters are expected to be delivered this afternoon. There is in private circulation an interesting docu ment containing proposals for a joint-stock discount association, with a capital of 2,000,0001. The argu ments adduced in favour of the scheme are worthy of attention. It is remarked that— " The difficulty recently experienced in obtaining dis count of legitimate paper, even at high rates of interest, which at other periods would have readily commanded a market, and in some cases the ruin of solvent firms from the want of that fair accommodation which, in the course of trade, they were justified in expecting, is the general theme of complaint among a large portion of the mercantile community. " This has arisen more from the want of confidence than from any real scarcity of capital in the country. The late commercial revalsions which have acted and reacted upon credit and commerce have induced a degree of alarm tending to close many of the usual channels of discount; the merchant, the banker, and capitalist hav ing through a natural distrust, withheld that surplus capital which they had been accustomed to employ with the discount broker." There are then some explanations given of the mode in which discount matters have hitherto been con , ducted. Previously to the year 1825, the Bill broker, with few exceptions, was a mere agent, or broker— properly so designated—ho received bills from the merchant, or trader, and negotiated them with the banker, or capitalist. Ile passed the docket, or note, of the transaction, and received a commission, as agent, only. After, however, the panic of 1825, the London banker, and capitalist, required of the broker] a guarantee for the paper discounted with them, and, subsequently, and, by degrees, they found it more desir able to lend the broker money at call, or for short periods, taking a batch of bills as security, and charging a lower rate of interest for the loan. The broker thus became the borrower of the banker, and with the money discounted bills, the difference between the rate of interest charged by him for discount, and that allowed by him for the loan, constituting his profit. With the country banker, to whom he remitted bills in return for cash credits, he guaranteed, in some instances, indorsed the bills, and thus it will be seen that, in both cases, the character of the broker became changed into that of a principal. The natural effect of this course was to throw the busine=s into the hands of a few leading firms, and the character and position of the brokers became a primary consideration, and as much looked to as the securities themselves. An association with known means and responsibility would not only, therefore, be calculated to inspire con fidence, but being in a manner unshackled itself, could afford to be liberal to others. The Paris accounts are still the object of general attention, and even business is partially neglected in pursuit of the latest news. Consols have improved upon the Account, which indicate a disposition on the part of Government to grant reform. The prices for Transfer have ranged from 881 to 89, being now 88- to 89. For April the quotations are 89 1 / 8 to 891. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 89/ to 90. Bank Stock is steady at 198 to 200 ; Exchequer-bills have risen to 30s. and 345. premium. If political events disturb confidence, and check an improvement in trade, money must accumulate, and will either remain idle. or be vested in flinds, shares, or fixed property. The Foreign bonds are very dull. Spanish Three per Cents. 321 to 32 : 4 1 ; Brazilian, small, 85 ; and Mexican, 19 ; Dutch Four per Cents. are 851. Railway Shares have been generally without any particular alteration. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 3 per Cent.
