THE GOVERNMENT AND THE STUDENTS.

(not ouz ores 001

PARIS, MONDAY EVINTNG.
The affair of the students, of which the severe
note in the Moniteur, which you will have received
by telegraph, is a symptom, has become rather
serious. A great many arrests were made last
night. The " odious invention " alluded to by the
Monsieur is that a student was killed in an affray
with the police. But the students, unfortunately,
have got it into their heads that the assumed in-
I vendors is a lamentable fact. 9 They persist that a
student, who was roughly handled by the police,
died of injuries received at the Hospital de la
Chariti, and was buried yesterday at t►e Mont
Parnasse Cemetery. They intended to go there
to-day or to-morrow in procession, with crape
bands round their hats. The demonstration will,
however, now certainly not take place, partly on
account of the arrest of many of the ringleaders,
and wily because of advice given to the young
men by their political friends. They have been
told, with what degree of truth I cannot say, that

the government intended to disperse them—not by
the police, but by a military force, with the
arriere pens& of striking a little terror by
ricochet into the Corps Legislatif, whose op.
position in the matter of Count Palikao's
dotation is treated by the hack writers of the official
press u a boyish freak, not worthy of serious
notice.

The Brussels journals the indipendance and the
Nord were seized to-day, doubtless on account of
details relating to the excitement among the
students.

At 4 this afternoon a strong body of police mule
a descent upon the office of the Courrit r du
Dimanche in the Faubourg Montmartre, seized all
the papers they could find, and arrested several
clerks and compositors. The editor and the prin-
cipal writers in the journal were absent ; otherwise
it is thought they would have been arrested.
The accusation, according to rumour, is that the
journal was an organ of the mutinous students.
One of the latter under lock and key is a
brother of M. Ganesco, the editor of the Couveier
du Dimanche.

The Tracail, a literary journal directed by
students, has published a number with a black
border.

Correspondence says that arrests have
been made in the provinces as well as in Paris.
The Bourse is much better to-day, and the heavy
fall in the Rente on Friday and Saturday is about
half recovered from. The Rente closed at 70fr. 10e.
for cash, and 70fr. 15c. for account (tbe highest
prices of the day), with a rise of 70c. and Ur. The
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. rose 75c. and 40c., the
latest quotations being 99fr. 76c. and 99fr. 70c.
Mobilier rose 12fr. 50c. A Retard ministry was
looked upon with favour by speculators in the
Italian Loan, which rose lfr. 10c. The Orleans
Railway rose 7fr. 50c. • Lyons, Bfr. 750. ; and
Southern, Mr. ; Eastern fell 2fr. 500. • and in
Northern and Western there was no change.

The ramour was spread, aid generally credited,
that means would be found to smooth the conflict
between the Emperor and the Corps Legislatif on
the Palikao pension.
The Temps ventures to make some critical
remarks upon a decree in this morning's Mmuteur,
which fills the government journals with rapture—
namely, the decree placing all the creches (chari-
table establishments for taking care of little
children in the day time while their mothers are
at work) under the patronage of the Empress.
It objects particularly to two clauses which
enact that no new cliches shall be opened
unless the managers are "sufficiently re-
spectable," and that the president and vice-
president of every crèche shall be appointed by the
Empress. Of course the Temps does not doubt
that the Empress will always act with the best
intentions, but it observes very truly that her pa-
tronage will practically be exercised by the prefects,
and that their interference will in many cases
paralyse individual initiative.
The funeral of General torte, senator and
grand cross of the Legion of Honour, took
place to-day. He has been a soldier fifty-eight
years, having entered the army as a volunteer in
1804. One of the Emperor's carriages followed the
corpse to the grave.

ITALY.

ROMAN STATES.
(mow OUR owx 001/1111POND

ROME, FIB. Z.

Yesterday, the 22nd, the formal commencement
of the Carnival took place, with the usual wretched
procession of the senator of Rome and the other
officials in their gilt coaches. An amusing parody
truly on the dignity of that old Senate whose mem-
bers sat on their ivory thrones, quelling the bar-
barian Gaul with their godlike calmness ! Here,
alas ! the Gauls are masters now—lounging pipe in
mouth, and with both hands in the pockets of their
red pegtop trousers, cutting jokes at the senator
aforesaid in his gingerbread coach. It is, indeed,
rather a good jest of itself that there should exist
such a thing as a solitary senator of Rome. One
is tempted to think the Popes have taken an idea
from their Irish adorers. A parliament consist-
ing of one member we should certainly treat as a
bull of Hibernian extraction.
The first day of the Carnival is never very bril-
liant, so we cannot yet judge of the prospects of
that dance in fetters which the Pope requires his
lieges to celebrate. Nothing, however, could be
leas of a festivity than it was yesterday as re-
gards the Italians. To those who had witnessed,
as I had done, the streets of beautiful Florence
actually blooming out in tricolors, and banners,
and wreaths to greet their chosen King, the paltry
hangings on the Corso looked poor indeed. As to
the carriages, from beginning to end their number
certainly did not exceed fifteen, and most of
my friends, as well placed as myself, counted them
at a dozen. Among these, ten were hired and occu-
pied by English, and one by a Spanish family. The
spectators consisted more than half (literally) of
soldiers, and the remainder of the veriest dregs of
the people. Even these looked cold and surly—not
au appearance of festive enjoyment about them.
Miserable little gamins scrambled for the dirty
nosegays of weeds and handfuls of chalk confetti
thrown by the Kneel in their carriages, and
strove gravely to drive a small trade in them
at second hand—but this was all the excitement
they seemed to feel. At last, after nearly four
hours of this dull folly, the poor horses (which are
the modern substitute for Jews) ran the gauntlet
of the street, and there was of course a shout at
the cruel sight of the terrified and goaded brutes,
and there ended the first day of Carnival. If we
were to have nothing more than this for the re-
maining eight days it was hardly necessary to give
forth the solemn proclamation which has appeared
ou the blank walls of Rome, and in yesterday's
Giornale sdi Boma. This solemn ukase is in
30 articles. A few articles must suffice. It is
forbidden to wear masks or dye the beard, or
wear any ecclesiastical or military dress (the reason
for these latter clauses may be easily guessed).
It is graciously permitted to throw bon bony of
sugar, but these must be only of two sorts, of
aniseed or of cinnamon (Art 8). again,
Art. 9 permits four other kinds of bon-bone, not-
withstanding Art. 8. Art.lo forbids espy-name ate
all other confetti, and especially those of chalk
(which, as all the world knows, are the only ones
ever thrown now-a-days). Five other articles
refer to confetti. Then come four more, describing
the nature of bouquets which may and may not
be thrown. Finally, the concluding ten articles
describe the course for carriages, forbid all ordi-
nary traffic during the whole afternoon through the
Corso (imagine such an edict applying for ten days
in Oxford-street and the Strand), and scatter awful
threats of pains and penalties on all delinquenta.
I may mention that there were about half-a-
dozen men in all who walked the Corso in fancy
costumes. Among these we recognised one whom
we have long noticed as a spy. He also re:o6l'3l°i
us, and immediately turned round and walked in
the opposite direction.

TUESDAY, 25m.
Yesterday's Carnival was even a greater failure
than that of Saturday—scarcely an Italian or
carriage in the Corso at all, and the Royal Drs"
goons, riding up and down to keep the lines of
vehicles which were not to be seen, were sufficiently
absurd. At night Rome for the last week has been
half in darkness, owing to the failure iu the seppli
of gas by the monopolists. • The shops are all la
obscurity, and private houses are forbidden to turn
on their gas at all.
Pons oTtocs..
I have just seen the people slowly assembling
the Forum, notwithstanding the rainy weather.
Yesterday and on Saturday there were Cousnterahle
crowds. The troops, of which there are vast num-
bers, vainly tried to disperse them. They took a
brooch bearing the cross of Savoy from a woman
present, after insulting her. Probably the lave
demonstrations will take place later in the work.
