ENTRY OF THE VERRAILLES TROOPS INT

PARIS.

The Versailles troops here at length made an entry
tato Paris. During Saturday and Sunday there was
severe fishting on the west and south sides of the city.
Aboet 110011 the Communists were driven from their
positions at the Malakoff, Petit Vane's. and
Grand Montrone.. Fort Noutrouge was stir•
rounded, and the insurgents fled la disorder into the
shy: At four p.m. Captain Troves, an officer of the
navy, crept up quietly from the tumidity' to the rampart
at the Point du Jour. To his astoniehment be found
that the Insurgents had retired. He iminedistely
sidled up 300 sailors, who took poeseesion of the gate.
Other troops followed up, and, before any one really
fell that the affair had commenced, it was all over.
Not • rifle was fired; there was not • single man
wounded; the whole thing was most unexpected.
The insurgents have hoisted • white flag at Auteuil.
Another brigade entered by the Port Montrone..
Troops are now (9.30 p.m.) pouring down upon both
point.. It is reported that the Are de Triomphe has
been re•obed. The latest maraud from the front states
that the insurgents are making but • very slight resist-
ant* The guns of the ramparts are now turned on
them by the troops. It Is said that 20,000 men are
mimed under hey. In Paris no resistance is eneoun•
tared from the insurgents. Forty thousand men are
now moving on the open gates.
U. Henri Rochefort and his Secretary, U. hfourot,
arrived at Versailles as prisoners in an omnibus
guarded by Cheamurs. Roahefort had disguised by
shaving his beard and cutting his long bushy hair.
The Nord states that M. Thiers intends imme-
diately on the re-establishment order to retire into
private life. He will previously submit to the Chamber
an arrmipment with the Bank of England and the
Bank of Holland for the payment ot part of the wax
Indemnity on condition of the Germans evacuating
the Central Departments. The State Forests will be
pledged as meeurlty.

SOUTHAMPTON.

VISIT 07 THS RII7SIIOII or BRASIL—His Majesty I
the Emperor of Brasil Is now on • voyage to Eugland
in the Royal Mail Company's steamer Douro, which is
expected at Southampton on the 34th inst.
SMALL-POI AT HOUTHAIIPTOIL—The artioles which
have appeared in the daily press, combined with a visit
of an inspector from the Privy Council, have put the
authorities on the alert- Att the last meeting of the
Town Council, it was decided to obt•in hospital tents
and place them on the Common for the reception of
emiall.pox patients, in lieu of *ending them to the
Sanitary Committee's hospital in New Town, to get rid
of which the inlmbitants of that part have been up in
arms. This hospital, although small and capable of
receiving not more than 16 or 18 patient", has been
well superintended by Or. Osborn, the pro kn. officer
g health, and approved by several medical men, as
sell as by the Government inspector. The vaccination
arrangements are again altered: no more persons are
allowed to be vaccinated away from the stations,e resent-
ing when smell-pox is in the house. The consequence
is that revue:bastion is again almost at a stand still.
Farther, it appears that payment for revaccination'
under r 2 is illegal. Thus many a child with imperfect
scars is doomed By this alteration—the result of
Government inspection and the advice to carry out
strictly the letter of the law—the epidemic, which ap-
pearedto be somewhat checked, will probably very
shortly increase in severity. The inspector recommen-
ded the Board of Guardians to work in harmony with
the Sanitary Committee- It would be as well if he
advised the Privy Council to grant special powers to
the boards to existed the ordinary law. The number of
fresh cases reported during the week was 97; but only
17, or about half, of the medical men sent in returns,
two of the defaulters being perish doctors- The deaths
from small-pox during the week were Tl, or 5 less
than the previous week—that is, the orwtality from
small-pox alone is at the rate of 24 per 1000 per annum.

AGRICULTUAL OPERATIONS.

Llni STocc.—Farm stockare said to "begin their new
year 4 with the gram, and the old maxim dill applies ;
however improved may be the modern system of stook
management, as competed with the past, with all the
advance" reoently made with referent)e to pulped roots,
chaff, lie., the change from winter food to summer
food, although less, is mill great- The young gras.es
during this month have • powerful medicinal effect on
the elet•ro, and although generally favourable, there
are exceptions to the contrary, and these will this year
be more nurnerone than usual owing to the peen-
liaritioa of the past winter, the coldness of the weather
and the luxuriant growth of grass. The temperature,
too, is unusually changeable, se that cattle which have
put off their winter cats In warm stall, will be liable
to suffer. In such MIMI it is not always the most
robust constitution that stands the change the beat,

vidu.ls separate themselves front the hera linelr and

EARLY LAMM—From the beginning to the close of
the month Dorset ewes are served with Sussex Down
or liampahire Donn rams for early lambs. Thc ewes
in many cues are bought In purposely for • 'lngle crop
of lambs—the practioe bang teehalimlly termed
lamb and dam fattening"—the ewes and the lambs
being sent to the shambles together. Sussex and
Ilampshire Down ewes are also timed for early lamb-
ing, but the horned Dorset is generally preferred for a
siogle crop of lambs.
