GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The extensive
works of the new terminus, at King's-cross, are progressing
rapidly. The principal front, facing Liverpool-street, New-
road, and the numerous railway offices adjoining, arc as yet
in an unfinished state. The principal front extends 216
feet, and is flanked with side towers, each 71 feet high. The
centre tower, in which is the principal entrance, is above
100 feet high ; in this tower, at a height of 90 feet from the
ground, will be placed a largo clock, the dials (three) of
which will be each 27 feet in circumference. The arrival
and departure sheds are each 800 feet long by 105 feet wide
from wall to wall ; the roofs of those sheds are semi-cir-
cular, each 71 feet high to the crown of the arch ; the
archedl frames which support the roofs are constructed of
wood, with iron plates firmly embedded and strongly bolted
together; these kave a span of 105 feet, and are 40 in num-
ber, to support each roof, being 20 feet apart ; they rest on
tiv
piers of cast iron cased with brickwork ; the roofs will b

--in the face of the most stolid prejudices of the
agricultural classes. Now, one of this gentleman's
merits is. that he does not hide his light under a
bushel, bet on the contrary courts publicity, and
rather enjoys than otherwise the being baited by the
great wheat growing farmers of Essex. Therein he
is unlike many of our first-class professional farmers,
who illustrate by their practice far mere effectively
the principles for which Mr. allant contends than
he himself does, but who shrink from offending the
sentiment of their class by frankly declaring protec-

Tifsverin tv we reported the statements of Mr.
We i❑n on inipneved modes of finning: to-day we
give the dreary, worn-out lamentations of Mr.
Yoesa; and his clique. The new and the old seloul
have thud had their agricultural advocate* before
the public within a day of each other: the one all
hopeful activity, the other all whining despondency
—the one telling farmers to help themselves. and
proper: the other calling on parliament to plunder
the pure man of his cheap loaf, that ignorant,
poor, and lazy tenants may still pay for ill-fanned
land high rents to game-preserving landlords.
Nothing can be more admirable than the con-
rage with which Mr. NIF1:111 confronts all the
opponents of agricultural improvement, and attacks
all the lugubrious predictions of protectionist
alarmists. Indeed. his courage partakes somewhat
of rashness, for though an earnest and energetic
improver. we must confess that in many par-
ticulars he falls short of the characteristics of a
farmer. Our own impression, on inspecting
Mean's lann, has always been, that he is
but on indifferent judge of stock ; keeping by no
means the best kinds, and managing his numerous
animals not in the most profitable or economical
manner. Nor has he the facWty of collecting about
hire first-rate servants. Moreover, we apprehend,
he is often led away by novelties and by over
sanguine expectations which have involved him in
expenses for which, as a fanner, he obtains n 9 ade-
(pate return. When, therefore, we formerly desired
to prove that low prim form no insurmountable bur
to profitable farming,—and that all and more than all
the difference betweca prewnt prices and the higher
priers of by-gone days mar be made up by improved
cultivation and better management, —we did nut
seket Mr. Mycitt's Fannin as the most apt illustra-
tioa of our propositions.
Nevenhelefs, Mr. MD 111 has done and is doing
good service in the cause of agricultural improac-
ment. Re has got hold of the right principle. Ile
would apply to husbandry and the manage-
ment of landed property those common sense
rules of action he which the merchants,
the traders, and the manufacturers of this
country, have been guided and have fin iven so

THE
REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. I
A decree appears authorising the collection of
taxes and indirect revenues until April 1, 1352, and
opening to the ministers a provisional credit upon I
the budget of 15,52. The second article of this de-
cree
prolongs for another year the present govern-
ment monopoly of the m inufacture and sale of /
tobacco. The third article modifies the duty on
cigars, pickets of which under 10 kilogrammes are
to pay 2 1 francs the kilogramme. The fourth nr-
• tide opens to the ministers a provisional credit of
! 369 millions, which is the sum adopted by the com-
mittee of the budget for the three first months of
11852. The fifth article opens a provisional credit
'of half a million of francs to the Minister of
War by anticipation on that of 1,500,000 f. allowed
for military pensions. The 6th article authorises
the minister of finance to create for the service of the
• treasury and negotiations with the Bank of France
treasury billsb,aring intertst payable at fixed dates.
The treasury bills in circulation are not to exceed
150 millions of francs, which was the limit assumed
in ISSI. This limit does not comprise the bills de-
livered to the sinking fund, nor those deposited as
securities in the Bank of Francs, and at the coaspeuirs
I descanldcs.
The following decree appears relative to the fune-
tious of the consultative commission :
1. The consultative commission is charged with the gots
neral examination of the votes expressed by the French
people in the billet of the 20th and 214 Ikeenalser. In
consequence all the minutes of examination drawn up by
i the departmental c nominees will be intimated to it by
the Minister of the Interior. The result will be promul-
gated by the executive power.
2. The consultative commission is called to give its opi-
nion nu the drafts of decrees is lagidative matters, which
will be the lttoepibelico.ounon
of
Iwur LTit getlfeunPetionsalteffefrred
state by Art. 12 of the law of July 19, 1515, except in
I matters relating to ,illioini,trative eleeiNions in snits, for the
I judgraint of which provision shall he mails by en ulterior
Idecree.
4. The commission shall be presided over by the Fred-
. dent of the Items lie, imd iu his absence by R. liaroche,
I appointed vice-pr s'alent.
IS. A decree of the excretive power shall divide the con-
. imitative commission into secti,nt fur the examination of the
, affairs which shall be submitted to it.
' 6. Th..: evt:lres iks layettes and auditors attached to the
old Council of State may be called to fuhil, in conjunction
with the consultative commission, the functions winch they
exercised in the Council of State.
' A decree appear authorising the establishment of
a railway slue within the fortifications connecting
I the termini of the Western, Rouen, Northern, Stras-
burg, Lyons, and Orleans Railways. The Minister
of Public Works is authorised to concede this railway
to the united companies of the Rouen, Orleans,
Strasburg, and Northern Railways, according to the
conditions of a raider that charger which is Annexed.
For the execution of this railway a credit of 1,333,333
francs is opened to the Minister of Public Works,
I
being the first disbursement by the comp accord-
' ing to the terms of the annexed contract. Eceli of the
' four companies engages to contribute one minion of
, francs to the execution of the r.tilway, one-third of
which is to be paid on the first requisition of the
' Minister of Public Works, one-third before Jan. 1,
' 1553; and the last third before Jan. 1, 1851. The
works are to be executed by the state. 'When the
• Lyons Railway is conceded, the company which ob-
' tains it will pay a similar sum of one million to the
treasury. In return for these payments the comps-
' nits will be ellowisl, for 99 years from the termina-
tion of the works, to work the railway.
The Minister of Public Works is to deliver
' up the line to the companies within the delay of
two years, ready for working, and the companies
' are to furnish all the moveable and s-ationnry
' stock for such working ; the said line is to be
divided into three sections, the Ist front the goods

officers of all ranks who have so especially distin-
guished themselves as to be entitled to rewards. No
reader of the report could be led to suppose that the
battle in which so much glory had been obtained,
was fought between an overwhelming military force
fully prepared, and an insignificant fraction of the
populace taken by surprise, who without lenders,
without concert, and almost without arms, were
rash enough to fall into the snare laid for them,
and to accept an unequal combat. It by
no means follows that the suppression of this corn-
, pamtively petty insurrection may not have afforded
scope for the meritorious and even heroic discharge
of a soldier's duty. But the qualities deserving of
praise in a soldier called upon to perform the dis-
trcssing service of using his arms against his fellow-
citizens are not only courage, but patience, for-1,
bearance, and an anxious watchfulness not to over
step by one hair's breadth the stein necessity of the
occasion. It is not, however, for nny such military
virtues as these that General Magnum praises his
troops. He says that before the battle he knew
their ardour and their impatience to fight. He attri-
butes the small lass of the army compared with the
slaughter of the insurgents to the great ardour of
the former. But although in general the vigour
of the troops is lauded no explana• ion whatever is
given of the murderous tire on the boulevards be-
yond this single sentence, that in passing the Hue
Montmartre General division encountered
rather a smart tire. This is all that is said by way
of excuse for a continuous tire, during ten minutes,
into all the houses from the CatZ! de Paris to
Porte St. Denis. It is to be remembered that for
many months past oftlars have, by their speeches,
been preparing the soldiery to fire without mercy
upon the mob, and their injunctions have been
obeyed.
The ex-Minister, M. Ilineau, is appointed inspector
of mines of the 2nd class.

Sine.? the late events, the railway trains coming
from Valenciennes and from Paris are co:upelled to
stop at the entrance of the fortifications at Mons,
where the passengers an: obliged to go through various
formalities. The gates of the town arc shut at tcu
o'clock, and no one can either leave or enter till the
morning. These measures will be continued until a
fresh order.

The last telegraphic accounts of the insurrection
in the Basses Alpes state that when Sevne was in-
vaded by the insurgents, on the Gth, thC garrison of
the town consisted of :100 recruits of the 2.3 th Light
Infantry, and forty gend irmes. One gendarme sent
out by the prefect to reconnoitre was wounded. The
prefect then retired into the barracks and resolved
to hold out to the last extremity. The mayor after-
wards thought it right to accept the services of a
number of the national guard, who offered to concur
in protecting the town. But when they were ad-
mitted to the barracks the greater part of them
shouted " Vivo la Republique Democratique et
Swink." Upon this intimation of feeling the pnicet
left the town, and the insurgents immediately after-
ward, entered and took possession of the prefecture.

Toulon, on the tlth in,tant, is reported to ha quiet.
From Privas, Dec. 11, the news is that alarm is
over. Some of the chiefs, at the head of armed
hands, are still in the rural districts. M. Dutheil,
the editor of the Aleph, of Marseilles, is at the head
of the insurgents itt the Var.
At :Montpellier numbers have responded to the
call of the mayor to form a corps of volunteers. A
man named Verguier, who btrasted that he would
stab General Itustolan, has been arrested. All is
quiet iu the department.
From Gap, Dec. 8. it is stated that the arron-
dissements of Furcalquier and Sisteron continue to be
in the possession of the insurgents. A part of the
garrison of Briancon has 1),..eu sent for to operate
against Sisteron. At Digo,: the office of the receiver-
general has been pillaged.

THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT OF THE

IIiaITING IN PARIS.

The Commander-in-Chief of the arms of Paris has
addressed the following report (noticed in the liver
of our Paris correspondent), dated the 9th, to the
Minister of War, of his proceedings during the in-
surrection:

" Monsieur le Minister,—l have already had the hotour
to address to you a summary report on the events of the
3d and 4th instant, and to render to you an account of the
results obtained from the arrangements made in anticipa-
tion of those events. Now that the partial reports of the
generals commanding division, under my orders have
reached me, 1 hasten to send you the details which com-
plete my former reports. On 06 morning of the 3rd nu-
merous and threatening assemblages took piece on differ-
ent points, and the various amps of the army of l'aris
marched to take up their position fur combat. Gen. Marti-
lea, who, with his brigade, occupied the Place de la Du-
thie, on being informed that a barricade had been raised
at the corners of the Rue du Faubourg St. Antoine, and
the Rues de Cotte and Ste. Marguerite, sent to that spot
three companies of the 10th Light Infantry, under the
orders of Commandant Pujol, and supported the movement
by advancing himself at double quick time at the head
of a battalion of the 44th into the Rue de Churoune, so
as to advance on the barricade by the Rue do Cotte.
The assemblage, at the head of which were three
Montagnard representatives, seeing the troops advancing,
fired, and mortally wounded a soldier of the 41th named
Sirlan. The first platoon returned the fire, and the repre-
sentative lhaudiu was kille I on the barricade. In the atur-
noon General Hertel:on, who had taken up a telethon ou
the place de Plletel de Ville, being informed that barricades
were being raised in tho hues du Temple Rambuteau,
Beaubourg, lie., marched immediately to the spot at the
head of a column formed of the oth battalion of Foot
Chaeseurs and a piece of artillery, and overthrew all the
obstacles which he met with in his passage, whilst a
battalion of the 6th Light Infantry destroyed in the Rue
du Temple the barricades which had been commenced.
In the evening fri sh barricades having been raise d in the
Rue Ileaubourg, Colonel Chapuis, of the 3rd regiment of
the line, taking with hint a battalion of his regiment and
a company of engineers, again went through that quarter,
where he was received with a very warm fire, which
did not, however, stop the advance of his column. All
the obstacles were carried, and those who defended them
were shot. Assemblages which were formed in other
quarters were dispersed by the energy and the attitude of
the troops. Seeing that the day was passing in insignifi-
cant skirmishes, and without any decisive result, and sus-
pecting that the intention of the chiefs of the rioters was
to fatigue the troops by carrying the agitation in succession
into different quarters, I resolved to leave the insurrection
for some time to itself, in order to give it the facility of
choosing its ground, of establishing itself, and, in short, of
forming a cons; act mass against which I could act. For
this purpose I withdrew all the small posts, ordered the
troops back to their barracks, and waited. In the morning
of the 4th the reports of the Prefect of Police and my own
reconnaissances made me aware that several assemblages
were formed in the Quarters St. Antoine, St. Denis, and St.
Marti I, and that they were beeinning to relic' barricades
there. The insurrection had its focus in thestreets comprised
between the Boulevards and the Rues du Tempe, Itambu-
' teau, and Moirmatre. At noon I learned that the barri-
cades were becoming thrtnidable, and that the insurgents
were entrenching themselves ; but I had decided ou not
attacking before two o'clock, and, firm in my resolution, I
, did not hasten the movement, notwithstanding all the en.
treaties that were made to me to the contrary. I knew the
! ardour of my troop., and their impatience for the combat,
and I was sure of overpass ering the insurrection in two
; hours, if it would accept the conflict. Success justified my
; belief. The attack ertlerid (or two o'clock was to mu-
scat* with a convergent movement of the eivisione of
' Generals Caarelet and Levasetur. In consequence the bri-
ride Bourdon took up a position between the Porte St.
Mviiis and the Forte St. Martin. The brigades of Cotte

and Canrobert occupied the Boulevard des Italians, whilst
General Dulac occupied the Pointe St. Eustache, and the
port the movement of the division of General Carrelet. At

two o'clock in the afternoon all the troops moved forward.
positionhi Isis cel u
The Bourgon brigade cleared the Boulevard to the Rue du
Temple, and went down that street as far as the Rue Rent-
buteau, carrying all the barricades on its pass me. The
brigade of General Cotte was engaged in the Rue St.
Denis, whilst a battalion of the 14th Light Infantry pro•
corded to the Rue du Petit Current, which was already
barricaded. General Cmrobert, taking a position at the
Porte St. Martin, wont through the Rue du Faubourg of
that name and the adjacent streets, obstructed by strong
barricades, which the sth battalion of Foot
.Chasseurs,
under the orders of Commandant Levasson emtval, car-
ried with rare intrepidity. (inter Dulac sent to
attack the barricades of the Rue Itambuteau and the
adjacent streets columns formed of urea battalions of
the 51st of the line, cominaneed by Colonel de
Lnurmel, and two other battalions, one of the
19th of the line, the other of the 13rd, supported by
a battery of artillery. At the same time the brigade
of General llerbillon, formed of two columns, one of
which was directed by General Levasscur in person, pee°.
tested into the focus of the insurrection by the Rues du
Temple, Rambuteau, and St. Martin. General Marulax
threw into the transverse' streets a light column, under the
operates' in the same same sense by the Rue St. Bemis, and
orders of Colonel de la Motterouge, of the 10th Light In-
fantry. General Courtigis, on his site, arriving from Vine
evolve, at the bead of his brigade, swept the Faubourg St.
Antniae, in which several barricades haul been constructed.
I These different operations were perfermed, under the fire of
the insurgents. with a skill and seal which could not for one
instant leave a doubt of success. The barricades, attacked
in the first instance by artillery, were circled at the point of
the bayouct. All that part or the town between the Fan-
hourgs St. Antoine and St. Martin, the Pointe St.
Eustache and the Hotel-de-Ville, was covered in every sense
by our infantry criminns ; tho barricades were carried
and destrnye4 end the insurgents dispersed or kill( I.
The crowds, who endeavoured to farm themselves again on
the boulevards, were charged by llse cavalry et General
Rabin, who sustained a sharp lire at the top of the Rue
Montmartre. Attacked on all sides at the came time, dis-
concerted by the irresistible ardour of our troops, and by
that ensemble of arrengements, enveloping as in a not-work
oe iron the whole quarter where they had waited far us, the
insurgents no longer dared to undertake anythiee serious.
At live o'clock in the evening the troops of the division of
General Carrelet came, and again took up a 'venire' on the
boulevards. Thu, the attack, which had commenced at
two o'clock in the afternoon, was terminated at live. The
insurrection was vanquished on the ground which it had
choeen. Some partial combats, however, took place in
other parts, which I thiale it my duty to point out to you.
On the 4th, about Nevelt o'clock in the evening, some
bands of insurgents, who had been diverged by the
different columns united at the upper end of the Rues St.
Ronnie's, des realise, and other small streets adjacent, and
commenced to raise barricades. Other assemblages took
place at the same time in the Rues Montmartre and Meat-
orgueil, the lumps in which hail been extinguished, and
where the insurgents, under favour of the darkuess: had
been able to erect fresh barricades. About eight o clock
Colonel de Le:ulna, of the 6lst of the line, who had
remained in position near the Point Ste. Eustache, al-
though well understanding all the difficulties of a night
attires, decided on snaking one immediately with the
2nd battalion of his regiment. The first four barricades were
immediately carried at the point of the bayonet with the
greatest ardour by the grenadieri and voltigeurs of that bat-
talion. A lifth berricade still remained, higher and better de-
fended than the others. In spite of the darkness,Col. de Lour-
mel hesitated not to make arrangements for its attack. Fif-
teen grenadine, under the eel rs of Sergeant Pitrobs, first
advances', closely followed by the other grenadiers and
voltigeurs of the battalion, led on by Commandant
Jeennin. Nothing could resist the ardour of these
brave soldiers. The barricade was carried in spite of a
desperate resistance. It was defended by about One hun-
dred insurgents. Forty of them were killed on the spot,
and the others were made prisoners. About a hundred
muskets and other weapons, and abundant ammunition,
fell into the hands of our soldier,. Colonel Courant, of the
19th of the line, who with his regiment occupied the Pala'
National, le:wring that a considerable number of insur-
gents, who had been driven from the Curti, St. Martin,
had rallied our the Place des Victoirce, and threatened the
Bank of France and the neighbouring quarters, proceeded
thither at double quick time with his regime::(, carried
the barricades in the Rues Pagevin and des Fostsle
Menthe:are, arid then retained and established him-
self at the Bank, whence he could maintain the
tranquillity of the quarters of the Bank and the Bourse.
I should never finish were I to begin to mention pparticularnames, but I cannot, however, retrain from doing justice to
the energetic skill with which Captain de la Roche d'Oisy,
commandant of the Ith company of the let battalion of
the Getularinery Mobile, protected through the whole
perhel of the *resurrection the nationel printing-office,
wluch was constantly surrounded by threatening getups.
Severed barricades were constructed in the neighbour-
ing streets, fur the purpose of cutting off communicatiuu
with that establishment. Lieut. Fabre, of that company, at
the head of 24 men, carried the 'stronger of thew berri-
cedes' formed of overturned eidigenceymrrels, and pieces
of wood, and, the others being successively destroyed, the
circulation was kept open by means of frequent patrols.
At La Chapelle St. Denis some companies of the 2eth Regis
nient of the Line carried :1 number of barricades, and
maintained tranquillity in those populous quarters, which
the secret societies had so deeply agitated. Whilst theqi
vents were taking place on the right bank of tile Seine.
Gen. Renault, commanding the 2nd division, occupied the
left bank, and by the aide arrangements which he made,
and the firm demeanour of Isis troops, was able to
guarantee from all agitetion the working population
of the eleventh and twelfth arrondissements, in which,
at other periods, insurrection could boast of such nu-
merous proselytes. The reserve division of Cavalry,
under the orders of Gen. Kerte, summoned in from
Versailles, took up position, at first in the Chumps Ely-
-1,6C11 and afterwards in the Boulevards, ar.d contributed
powerfully by numerous patrols to the arrest of a great
sanuher of insurgents, and to the complete re-establishment
of tranquillity. As the reports sent iu to me, the night of
the 4th, on the state of Paris, gave me almost a certitude
that the insurrection would not venture to again raise its
Bead, I withdrew at midnight a part of the troops from their
Tpositions to give them that repose they so well merited.
he next slay, Dec. 5, I determined to make a display of all
the army of Paris to the population, intending by that de-
monstration to reaesure the good, and intimidate the evil-
disposed. I gave orders that the brigades of infantry, with
their artillery, and their companies of engineers, should
proceed through the city in moveable columns, to march
on the insurgents wherever they should show themselves,
and to destror all the obstacles which might impede the
circulation. f o that effect tics. Carrelet, ut the head of a
column of his division, proceeded about nine in the morning
to the Barrier° ltochechourt, where a formidable barricade
existed. But the insurgents, terrified by the results of the
preceding day, slid not venture to defend their entrench-
ments, and abandoned them at the approach of the troops.
Another barricade, raised in the Faubourg Poissonnilire,
was likewise deserted by its defenders before the arrival of
the column under the orders of Gen. Canrobert, charged to
carry it. From that moment tranquillity was no more
troulikel in Paris, and the circulation was fully re-estab-
lished on every point. The army returned to its quarters;
and the next day, the Gth, Paris, no longer beholding in the
streets that unusual display of troops, was restored to its
activity, movement, and life of every day. I know not
how, Monsieur le Minietre, to render to the troops who
fought on those two days all the justice which is due to
them for the firmness, spirit, and discipline which they con-
stantly displayed. Officers and soldiers, they all compre-
hended what the country and society expected from them at
that solemn mei:tent, and all nobly did their duty. I have
in particular to praise the energetic co-operation:of the gene-
ral officers under my orders. All followed my instruc-
tions with an intelligence and devotedness which penetrate
me with the liveliest gratitude : everywhere they showed to
the troops the way which they so nobly followed. Unfortu-
nately, operations, so complicated, could not be executed
without sensible less. We bad in these two days 24 men
killed, of whom one was an officer: and ISt wounded, of
whom 17 were officers: of this number was Colonel Quake,
of the 72nd regiment of the Liue, who had his arm trans-
pierced by a ball, at the same time as his Lieut.-Colonel,
,r, k of

army joined in the regretete which the loss of this superior
offiticha7t2noid.theThe
numerical in-
surgents, is owing to the energy with which all the obstacles
were attacked by our men, and the determination with
which the insurrection was put down. In two hours of
combat the army obtained the result which it desired ; it
worthily justified the confidence of the President of the Re-
public, and it must feel satisfic I that it has nobly aided in
saving society in France and perhaps in Europe. I shall be-
fore lung have the honour of sending in to you a statement
respecting the men of all grades who appear to me to have
the greatest claims to recompense, and to whom I shall pray
you to direct the kind interest of the President of the Re-
public.—Receive, Monsieur le Ministrc, the assurance of
my respect and devotedness.
