Mr. H. N. Cox moved that the Local Board pledges
Been to carry out forthwith a thorough and eompre•
hensive system of drainage. The Town Clerk suggested
that Kr. Co. should adopt the whole of the paragraph,
admitting it to be the duty of the town ; but Mr;
Co. refused. Mr. Beaeh seconded the motion and It
was tarried. A long discussion took plaoe on the
latter part of the letter. Mr. C. Tucker pro.
posed that they send the three plane to the Local
Government office, for the Government officiale t in-
dicate the one they approved. Mr. T. Stephens
seconded. Mr. R. N. Co. proposed as an amendment
that the Local Board is quite competent to manage its
own affairs, and will in due time appoint' its outs
engineer. Mr. Clent seconded, but on • division it was
negatived. Mr. Beach objected to the three plans
being submitted, as the Local Board condemned the
scheme of Messrs. Jenkins, Trathan, and Trisoott ; but
Mr. Tooker adhered to the terms of his resolution, and,
on &division, it was carried. Bridport, is thus pieced
entirely in the hands of the Government engineers,
and—will have to pay for it.

THE STATE OF PARIS.

From Bordeaux we learn that an officer who
left Paris on Friday, says Paris was as energetic
as ever, and any one daring to speak of capitu-
lation exposed himself to be shot on the spot.
The city has sufficient provisions to hold out till
the end of February at least.
Balloon news from Paris, received January 1,
states: "The bombardment of Nobly and Roany
has caused hardly any losses on the French side.
The plateau of Avron having no casemate& for
the garrison, has been evacuated under the
direction of General Trochu. Paris accepts with
joy the struggle a outrancs."

Some restaurants give their easterners the choice of
chicken's wings, fillets of ass, and logs of rats. At one

BORDEAI7I. Jan. I.—There wu a great and
enthuaiastie Republican demonstration this after-
noon before the Prefecture, convened by the
Republicans of Bordeaux as • manifestation of
their adhesion to the Government. The street

and there were many children in drilled ranks
with banners. The members of the Government

PREPARING TO EVACUATE PARIS.

The "Times" says General Troclau is convert-
ing Mont Valerein i to a vast citadel, to which
he may repair with the bulk of his effective
foroes whenever the extremities to which Paris
is being reduced may render his position within
the walls untenable. Vast stores of provisions
and of ammunition are being conveyed to Vale-
rein, so that in the event of Trochu being driven
to shut himself up there he will be able to de-
tain before the spot a large German army.
During this time he hopes that the forces in the
field will gain fresh adhesion, discipline, and
confidence, and that such a change will come
over the fortunes of this eventful war as will
wipe out and revenge at once both Sedan and
Metz.

COIDICIO3.—A meeting of the Local Board was called
for Friday evening last to madder the following letter.
The attendance was small.

Local Governmont Act Office, 8, Richmond Terrace,
Whitehall, S.W., December 104.11,, 1870.
Eing-1 shall feel obliged if at the first oonvenient opportunity
you will bring before your Town Council the proposal which at
the clove of the inquiry at the Teton Hall, lindport on Nov.
Both, I said that I desired formally to submit for their con.
Adoration. . . . .

The Town Council have for a long time pain been discussing
the competing schemes of different engineers from whom they
have received plans and estimates for the sewerage of the
borough. But they have never passed any definite reaolu ion,
that it is their duty and Intention as the Sower and Local
Authority of Brldport to forthwith carry out a thorough and
comprehensive system of main sewerage and sewage outfall
and disposal.
The object of this letter is to ask that such a resolution may
be voted by the Town Council without any unnecesary delay.
Their Bye laws, I know, prevent them discussing for some
time to come the particular whams' of eewirsge which they
had before them in October last But Mere is nothing that I
know of to prevent the Town Council from at once passing a
resolution binding themselves to carry out a system of
sewerage.
If it will be any assistance to the TOM] Council, and if they
think well to adopt the course, I would suggest that they
might, when they forward the resolution, ask the Searetary of
State to take into consideration the various sewerage plans,
estimates, and reports, which the Teem Council now have In
their possession, and to determine which of tie schemes is
beet.
_

Vier° such a request made I cannot say that it would be
granted. But if the matter were referred to me, I would wire
my opinion in its favour. At the mine time I think it proba-
ble, if the request were granted, that a condition would be
Impoosed, requiring the Town Council to accept and undertake
to forthwith carry out that system which in the opinion of the
Secretary of State was mast likely to moot all the requirements
of the district. . . _

THE FRANOO-PRIISSIAN WAR.

On Saturday the army, under the command
of General Roy, attacked the Prussian position
Ist La Bonilla, on the loft bank of the Seine, and
after some obstinate fighting succeeded in carry-
ing it. It seems that at one time the Germans
re-captured the place, bat were subsequently
dislodged, with oonsiderable loss. According to
advioes from Albert a flying column of Uhlaus
encountered on the 28th ult, three battalions of
Moble Guards at Longret. The latter were
defeated, and lost ten offieers and 230 men in
prisoners, besides three colours. In the neigh-
bourhood of Abbeville some Mobiles have been
surrounded and made prisoners. General
Mantenffel has had a brush with a French
brigade near Monhaeau, westward of Grand
Couronne, and routed one portion of it, and
drove the other into the fortified castle of Robert
le Diable, which was afterwards stormed and
captured, the Frew& loss being represented as
heavy.

ASSASSINATION OF MARSHAL PRIM.
On Wednesday last Amadeus, of Savoy, Duke
of Aosta, and Kin ti Elect of Spain, embarked at
Spezia' bound to his kingdom. On the evening
of that day six miscreants fired at Prim as he
was proceeding to the Cortes in his carriage, and
wounded him in the shoulder. On the follow-
Friday the King landed at Oarthagena ; on the
evening of that same day Prim expired. Sun.
day h.id been appointed for the King's solemn
entrance into his capital; but the trophies and
triumphal arches by which he was to be greeted
were taken down. The city was in mourning
for Prim's funeral, and the King's entrance had
to be put off to a less inaupiocious day. The
King is at hand; the King-Maker is no longer
among the living.
The Telegraph's Madrid osrrespondent says
that Prim retained consciousness to the last
When aware of the rapid approach of death, he
bade adieu to his friends composedly, and ex-
pressed much anxiety for the safety of toe new
King.
From an early period of the revolution Prim
declared in favour of the re-establishment of •
monarchy,on the avowed ground that a Republic
"was impossible in a country where there are
no Republicans." His life, like that of all
Spanish public men, was marked by romplicity
In a series of revolutions and counter-revolu-
tions, of coups d'etats and pronuriciamentos, but
it may be said of him that he was loyal in his
allegiance to Spain.
His death has mined a profound sensation in
Madrid, and a very strong feeling prevails
against his assassin& and their partisans.
