A telegraphic despatch announces the election of
M. LOWS Bonaparte in the Charente Inferieure.
The capital continues to be tranquil.
The socialists persist in declaring that government
has no right to detain Raspail any longer in prison.
This will probably be met by an application of the
Minister of Justice, after the verification of powers
for the authority of the chamber to prosecute, similar
;
to that which was made in the case of the other re-
presentatives now at Vinsennes. The socialists in-
tend to present a protest against the election of M.
Achille Pould, on the ground of alleged bribery.
The Bien Public has the following notice of the
political dinner yesterday at the Chides :
'We received at a very late hour some details of the ban-
quet which took place yesterday evenlrg at the Cbtlet, to
commemorate the anniverurj of the foundation of the re-
public. Nearly one hundred of the representative. were
present at this meeting, which was oompeeed of five hundred
citizens, end presided over by M. Aadry de Pnyraveast.
The president was the first who addressed the company. He
reminded them of the great even'* of 1789, mill extolled the
republic in the acts which preceded its advent, and the men
who bad founded it. M. Ledru-Rollin afterwards delivered
an energetic appeal to conciliation and to the fusion of parties.
He showed the power of the republican idea to be too deeply
rooted in the minds of the people for any pretender to be
able to stifle it. Ile passed in review the domestic and
ruffian policy of the country, asking himself what the repub-
lic had, up to this time, done in the interest of the welfare
of the people, as well as to secure to France that prepon-
deranee which belonged to her in Europe. This speech pro-
duced a deep sensation on the meeting. M. Dimosth; tie
Olivier afterwards proposed a tout "To the absent repub/i-
-cane." When the meeting separated it was decided on that
theme banquets shook! take place every month.

The two sub-committees appointed by the commit-
tees ofjustioe and the colonies to examine the propo-
sition of M. de Montrol on transportation, have met
twice in this week. After having again heard the
author of the proposition'' they have definitively
adopted the principle—that ito may, the abrogation
of the decree of June 27, which excluded Algeria
from among the places to which the insurgent. of
June might be transported. Yesterday M. Point,
chosen u the reporter of the subcommittee of lease,
read to it the draft of his report, and, previously to
this, the subcommittee of the colonies bad, throe&
its reporter, M. Dufaure, unanimously declared its
adoption of the proposition of M. de Montrol. The
committee has lance named a subcommittee for cas-
sia*, the proposition of M. Bavignier, requiring a
melba of the administrative proceedings in virtue of
wbish the insurgents have been transported.
The weekly balance sheet of the Bank of France,
which we publish in another column, shows the fol-
Swift results : The metallic remote goes on in-
sulin, being five millions in augmentation in the
Paris Bank, and three millions in the departments.
The over due bills are nearly one million more, whilst
the protested bills are half a million less. The issue
elutes has decreased in Paris half a million, and in
time hush banks about a million and a quarter. The
&meat current of the Treasury has advanced to
611,125,301 fr. 81c., or about 15 millions more than the
molding week. The whole amount of the metallic
reserve is now 228 millions to 371 millions in circuit-
ties.

PARIS, SUNDAY, 11.30 sm.
The topic of to-day and yesterday has been the
spwh delivered at the democratic banquet of the
Champs Elystes on Friday evening by Learn Rollin.
Reporters not being admitted, no report of that dis-
course in the accuracy of which the public can
feel confidence will appear. A report supplied
by M. Ledru-Rollin himself, appears in La Reform*,
Le Courrier Francais, and the Democratic Pacifique,
this morning. It is said that the speech really deli-
vered differed materially from this report, many pas-
sages of extreme violence being altogether sup-
pressed, and others so mitigated, ss to lose almost
entirely their original import As it is, it must be
received more am that by which M. Ledru-Rollin de-
sires to stand, than what was really delivered.
The Coneilidionsel this morning says that the
violence of the speech, as delivered, was such as
to fill several of the most sincere republicans pre-
sent with alarm, and to induce them to interfere
with the speaker to prevent such parts of
the speech from appearing in the report. The Seicle
says that even the Montagnards present were asto-
nished at the violence of the speech.
There is no news of importance in the journale
this morning. La Press. says that three vessels-of-
war, a French war-steamer, Solon, an English steamer
and an English frigate, arrived at Venice on the 16th.
the same journal says that the loss of the Neapolitans
at Messina was 2,000 killed and 1,200 wounded.
It is now affirmed that the insurgents of June con-
demned to deportation will be amnestied.
The Moniker of this morning says that a dinner
was given on Friday to the members of the go-
vernment by the prefect of police, in commemo-
ration of the establishment of the Republic on
22d September, 1792. A large number of Rersons as-
enabled at the Prefecture in the evening. The
Momteur says that the foreign ambassadors and
ministers were invited, but does not mention whether
they attended.

The Madrid mails of the 17th have arrived. Ge-
neral Cordova is appointed Capt.-General of Catalonia.
