TIIE NEWS OF THE OUTBREAK IN PARIS reached
our chief manufacturing towns early yesterday morning, and
u might he supposed, gave rise to considerable excitement.
The Daily News being first in the fi.ld with the intelligence
obtained much attention. The following reports describe its
reception in the towns of Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol .

- •
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—Great excitement was prcduced
here this morning, by the arrival of the reports from the
Daily News and Evening Express, detsiling very fully the
important and distressing news from Paris. The statements
were posted in the Exchange and in all the other public
rooms, and were in each place read by some gentlemen to
anxious crowds around. The public felt grateful to the
enterprise which put it se promptly is possession of the news.
MANCHESTER, MONDAY.—A correspondent says " Let me
call attention to the enclosed Manchester Times, acknow-
ledging the source of its news from v‘,ur paper. It was the
only Manchester paper that brought out an 'extraordinary'
to-day. The excitement to get • light of it was extraordinary,
and men went off the exchange to the news agcots hoping to
buy a copy. The Manchester Times, which reprints our
despatches, says
" The following is a copy of an Extraordinary Express,
forwarded by the Daily mews this morning to ourselves,
also to the Exchange, and other public rooms. Recollecting
the great energy di-played by that paper during the revo-
lution of February, we think it only fair to acknowledge our
obligations to that paper, and the thanks which are due to
it from the public for the relief it has afforded from the sus-
pense into which the last accounts of Friday had thrown
every one."
BRISTOL, MONDAY EVENINO.—The first details of the
civil war in Paris were received here this morning by early
mail, and some hours in advisee of the other morning
papers, by supplementary reports from the Daily News
Whet. The second and thirst editions of the Daily News,
giving the latest accounts from the scene of action (also in
advance of the other papers), have be..m eagerly sought for.

EXETER, MONDAY.—A communication from the Daily
.)Peres, received here to-day, was the first intimation of the
alarming state of disorganisation in Paris. Slips were printtd
by the Western Times, and forwarded to the mayor and
other public functionaries, including the recorder, who thus
noticed the news in his address to the grand jury from the
bench:
He could not allow this opportunity to escape without offering his
congratulations to them that this Wand, and particularly the portion
of it where he now aldreased them, Lad been oared from disturb-
ance and tumult, which the crash of nations and the wreck of thrones
had scattered abroad in other countries. When he read of
what had taken place elsewhere, and especially what had been
put in his hand, this morning—intelligence conveyed from the
Doily News office—he could not help saying, with the psalmist,
" Why do the rations "—he would not say " heathens "—" so
furiously rage together, and why do the people imagine a vain
thing." A vain thing it woe, indeed, if those who bad created those
disturbances, hoped to extract out of them that liberty which they
profssaed to seek and cherish. Genuine liberty was the creature and
descendant of good order —it could not rust without it—liberty was
the daughter of good government—and even in the monarchy which
they had lately been overthrown, although liberty existed In a stunted
and feeble state, yet it did exist in a modified toms ; but in the tu-
mult and disturbanceswhich succeeded, liberty had been actually
strangled in its birth, and thousands and tens of thousands, who had
taken part in those proceedings, had now learnt that it was far more
easy to destroy than to build up. Such were the consequences of a
restlcs• desire for change, without any distinct or definite object. It
was because men with the most honest and fairest intentions, who only
desired reform to modify and ameliorate the institutions under which
they lived, allowed themselves, in a moment of delusion and excite-
ment, to enlist under their banners those men whose only object was
revolution and anarchy, giving the hand of fellowship to the
lowest and the barest, they allowed them to become masters. The
laws which had been passed in this country for the maintenance of
good order, fell far short of the strongand despotic law which had been
passed in a neighbouring country; yet they were far stronger than a
late dynasty, which had crumbled in pieces, had dazed to pained. It
was not the wish of the government, nor his (the recorder's) wish, to
says syllable to discourage constitutional meetings, where men met
with the honest intention of &sauteing that which was wrong, and
reeommending that which was right. So far, if alteration were neces-
sary, those were the means by which alteration should be recom-
mended to the public mind, and the public mind prepared to receive
It. Those were the safety barriers of the constitution, and be
was quite sure no honest or constitutional government, no honest
sr constitutional citizen, would desire to say one word that could

be supposet totaled upon such meetings. It was not against such
meetings that be would wish to ware the public—far from it—but it
eras against thins whose igibit was revolutionary, idiotic aim W3s
march and destruction, and who did not shrink from asnembline
about thamaslrem the lowest and basest of mankind, with the view to
increase and swell their number, and thereby create intimidation and
alarm.
The Deemishire Chronicle, in publishing the Paris news
up to Saturday evening, sap
:7" We are indebted to the
Daily News for the foregoing intelligence, sent us by express
this (Monday) morning, the same to which our recorder
referred in:hie charge.
GATESHEAD, MONDAT.—The rumour of insurtection and
bloodshed in Paris reached this borough en Saturday, and
was corroborated by a meagre dispatch in the London news-
papers which arrived this evening. On Sunday morning
the evening papers were anxiously looked for; and this
morning, an " extra" having bee. received from the Mika of
the Daily News, and placed in the window of the Gateshead
Observer office, it was read.with great avidity. During the
whole day it has attracted as many persons as could read it
at one time. Occasionally, indeed, when the number got
beyond this mark, some public-spirited individual has been
found able and willing to read the whole aloud, from be-
ginning to end.
Lanus, MONDAY.—The Leeds hitelliyeneer this day pub-
lished an extraordinary edition, containing the latest French
news, for which it acknowledged itself indebted to the Daily
News in these words : We are indebted to the courtesy of
the publisher of the Doily News for a copy of the following
account of the state of Paris, received by extraordinary ex-
' pees in London yesterday, and bringing the report down to
six o'clock on Saturday."
THE GAILY News EXPRFSS.—PLYMOUTH, MONDAY.—
: The Plymouth Times says: "Through the kindness and
spirited exertions of the proprietor of the Daily News, we
were put in possession, at eight o'clock this morning, of
meat important intelligence, bringing the ace -unto from
l'aris down to a quarter to six o'clock on Saturday night.
This extraordinary intelligence gave us in detail, occupying
neatly two columns of printed matter, the accounts of
Paris being in a state of siege, resignation of the executive
committee, appointment of a military dictator, collision with
the populace, &c. The extraordinary express by which the
above was conveyed from Paris was by courier, the railway
communication having been again interfered with. The
news thus transmitted to Plymouth was soon made known
through our three towns and district by a reprint of the
Plymouth Times of the Daily 'mews, which were
promptly distributed to the public rooms, the naval,
military, and other government establishments, the
hanks, exchange, and to the leading merohants here, O.
By the same medium, the news was sent to Totems, Newton
Abbott, and other towns. The intelligence has tilled all
classes with surprise, and the next accounts are looked for-
ward to with great interest. The intelligence is already on
its way hither to Australia, the captain of a vessel just
sailing having been supplied with ono of the slips, and thus,
through the spirited exertions of the Daily News, that por-
tion of the globe will be put in possession, at an early period,
of the great events which are now occurring in France, and
in which the whole world may be said to be interested.
SHEFFIELD, MONDAY.—On receipt et P.,ris news up to
Saturday evening, the Sheffield ',dependant published an
extracrdinary edition. It says--" We acknowledge our-
selves to he especially indebted to tne kindness of the Dasly
News. We were favoured by late information from the
office of that journal, which has proved to us of the greatest
service."
YORKSHIRE.
MORE ARRESTS FOR UNLAWFUL TRAININO.—On
Saturday last two other men were apprehended in the
neighbourhood of Bingley, and taken before Mr. liu•frild
Ferrand, .1.1'..wh0 committed them to York Castle for trial at
the next assizes, on charges of unlawful training and drilling to
the use of arms and military exercises. Both Bradford and
Keighley have been very peaceable since the magistrates
took decisive measures to prevent large and illegal assem-
blies of the people.

HORSHAM ELECTION.—The writ for this election
arrived at Horsham on Saturday last. The nomi-
nation is to take place to-morrow and the rice-
tioii on Thursday. Mr. Fitzgerald, in offering himself
again to the electors, has issued an address, in which
he states :--" You are again called upon to ezerciae
the privilege of returning a representative to parliament; a
privilege which, though entrusted to you by law, tho inter-
ference of government his too long withheld." The hon.
candidate's friends speak in confidence of his success. and
say that he will be returned by a majority of 30. Sir Percy
Shelley has abandoned his intention of soliciting the suffrages
of the inhabitants, being " influenced solely by personal
considerations, and not by any wish to shrink from the con-
test." It is said that Sir Percy's recent marriage was the sole
cause (this retiring from the contest. Another candidate
his sprung up, in the person of Lord Edw. 'toward, son of the
Duke of Norfolk. His lordship visitedthe town on Saturday,
and called upon a few of the leading porn ma in the borough,
promising to return on Tuesday to complete his =TAU. In
his address to the electors his lordship says: " My name is
not unknown to you, neither are my political principles.
They have been publicly avowed, and received approval
from many of you on a former ace ~ion. My desire is to vin-
dicate the honour and character of the borough, and for that
purpose I hasten immediately to pay you my personal re-
spects." Lord Howard's friends Bay that he is determined to
go to the poll; and it is rumoured that, should he lose his
election, he will present a petition against Mr. Fitzgerald's
return.

Tne BOTTON PAPER MILLS, established by the
Messrs. Bevan (of whose partial destruction by fire an ac-
count appeared in the Express some months since), were
on Saturday last the scene of another conflagration. The
fire was discovered soon after midnight. An alarm was imme-
diately given, and messengers were despatched to Bristol for
engines. Several were promptly on the spot, and the fire-
men and neighbours did their utmost to arrest the progress
of the fire. it had, however, gained too groat a head to be
successfully resisted, and was not got under until the exten-
sive building—at least all the portions of it which were left
undestroyed upon the last occasion—wer. reduced to a ruin.
The accident has thrown a number of hands out of work.
It is understood that both building and stock were insured,

MR. BENEDICT'S CONCERT.—Thie is always one of
the greatest concerts of the season. It took place yesterday
morning in the Opera concert-room, and was on the usual
scale of magnitude. There was an absolute host of vocal
and instrumental performers ; and the bill of fare was so
multifarious that the banquet was little more than half over
at five o'clock, when we were obliged to leave it. The
greatest part of a concert of this description always consist.
of well-krown and familiar pieces ; but Mr. Benedict, on
this oc:asion, presented several interesting novelties. The
principal of these was a concertante fee two pianofortes
with full orchestral accompaniments, composed by himself,
and performed by M. Charles Halle and bim. It is • mai-
-1 terly composition, in a bold and brilliant style, and was
exceedingly effective. Thalherg, who is now so rarely heard
that he has become something of a novelty, performed •
new " Tarantella," and his study in A minor. We never
heard him play more exquisitely; he was applauded loud and
long, and delighted the audience still more by sitting down
again and playing • delicious little fantasia on the pretty
serenade in " Don Pasquale." A quartet from Nieder-
mayer'e " Marie Stuart," sung by Madame Dorus Oru,
Mdlle. Vera, Oardoni, and Massol (the celebrated Parisian
singer, just arrived here), turned out to be the Scotch melody
"Auld Isnot sync," treated with great ingenuity and beauty.
Madame Sahatier gave great pleasure by • couple of her
pretty French romances; and Mdlle. Durlacher, a pupi' of
Mr. Ilalfe, who made her first appearance in public, sang
Mozart's "Dove Sono " with grace and sweetneu. The
audience, as usual, was overflowing. The orchestra was
filled with ladies, and a great number of persons were obliged
to contest themselves with listening, as they beat could, in
the aot•.room.
