A revolution has broken out in Paris. After the •
vacillating conduct of the Government in regard to the
insurgent National Guards at Belleville and Mont-
martre, nothing less could have been expected. If •
little firmness had been displayed in the first instance
this latest disaster would not have befallen the Frau&
nation. On Friday matters assumed • menacing
aspect, and M. There issued a proclamation to
the citis no pointing out that the peace of the
capital was threatened by the rabble, and annouecieg
that the Government would pat down by force of arms
such a menace to the Republic. Soon after midnight
on Friday &Raclin:mita of troops were sent to wimpy
Montrnarte, They succeeded without difficulty, seized
many cannons, and took four hundred prisoners. Bet
at nine o'clock in the morning those captives were
rescued by the National Guards of Belleville and
Montiumte, accompanied by many troops of the line.
Not a shot was fired against the insurgents. and
indeed, the rival bodies fraternised. A similar scene
was witnessed at the foot of the bill, round whirl's
General Piney had drawn a cordon of men armed with
mitrailieuses. Crowds gathered about each body of
soldiers, and 60 pleaded for the " Republic" that
resistance again ended in " fraternisation," and the
gnus passed into the hands of the mob. On the top of
the hill, the troops and the National Guard entered
into the same compact of fraternity. Still more serious
were the oocurrencesin the Place Pigalle. The mounted
gendarmes and the Chase:gra d chews!, led by General
Viney himself, were saluted with the cry of " Vivo
la Ligne l" The regulars instantly went over to the
ride of the mob, and, when pursued by shoto from the
faithful gendannes,they'returned the fire. So treacherous
were the lineamen,that they distributed their cartridges
among the crow d,and some gave up even their Cheesecake.
The officers of the Line with shame acquiesced, in
almost every instance, in the treason of their troops,
but in some few eases they were faithful to their duty,

Mr. AZIIBERT IiODOKR briefly responded. It was a
great pleasure to him to do anything he could f tr them.
They had on opportunity of improving them-elves now,
and they should make the most of it. They ought to
be exceedingly thankful to Mr. Cooper and the teachers,
and to use great diligence in their studios.

Mr. J. F. HODOIS, jun., was extremely glad to see
the progress they had made. He bad not been able to
attend during the past session as often as he should have
wished, but in future he would strive to be more atten-

sympathies were with them.
Mr. F. lloi.Laeo then sang • couple of amusing songs
In a capital manner and provoked much laughter. The

The Itacrroa proposed their hest thanks to Mr.

The thanks of those assembled were unanimously
voted, and after singing " Auld l..ng Hyno," the boys

" A Committee, assuming the title of Central, after
having seized a certain number of cannons, has
coverei Paris with barricades, has taken possession

fired upon the defenders of order, has made prisoners

one knows. Their names are new to the whole world.
No one can even say to whet party they belong. Are
they Communists, Bonapartists, Or Prussians Are
they the agents of a triple coalition who are the enemies
at Paris, who will deliver France up to pillage, who
will deliver the Republio to the Prussians, who will de
liver us to despotism? The abominable crimes they
have committed remove all excuse from those who
follow or submit to them. Will you take upon your-
selves the responsibility of their assassination and their
crimes—then keep with them. Bat if you have any
regard for your honour and your most sacred interests,

Mr. Theobsld Blake is 45 years old, and • widower
with two children. But—oh, most mighty but l—he
is rich, very rich: Rent roll of £3OOO • year, beside'
other property. Miss Agnes Joyce is 19 years old, and

Shall we speak the truth? Yea, It is most repro- ,
hensible on the part of the parents to allow a child of

though the man is rich. If we had been on the jury,
that fact would have had • material offset on the
vcrdiet:
To cut the story short, in 1870 • bargain was struck.
Theobold was to have Agnes at the prism of a portion of
£475 a year. If Mr. Blake bad been 70, it would have
been a splendid bargain for Miss Joyce; bat, at 45, Mr.
Blake would probably live long enough to land his
young wife in middle age. Probably the stipulated
price was jut- To compensate for • young lady, aged
19, of great personal &Weeklong, marrying • gentleman
of 45, with two incumbranees, a jobitureof £450 ii-year
is, perhaps, not exoesaive.
Miss Joyoe wrote fond letters to "My own dear,
darling Theo ;" and Mr. Blake, though not gushing,
was sufficiently kind to "My own dearest Doll." But
still, Mr. Blake was not happy. He put off the marriage
from time to time, and, at last, withdrew from the
engagement. An action was commenced ; and the jury
have given the rejected damsel 25,000 damages.
We congratulate Miss Joyce. It will not be pre-
tended that her heart is broken, Weenie the widower,
with two children old enough to be her father, declines
to marry her. The beautiful young lady islet in her
