AMIENS HAS REVOLTED.

The following, which appeared in a second edition
of the Daily Netes, communicates all that is known
of the state of affairs in Paris up to the moment of
going to press :
We have received the following by Electric Tele-
graph of the South-Eastern Railway, from our
Boulogne Correspondent:
No mail has arrived from Paris to-day. The rail-
way stations and barriers are in possession of the
people. The rails are taken up to a certain distance
from Paris to prevent the troops arriving from the
country.
The sacrifice of life is frightful. Some of the
troops of the line have refused to act. Amiens has
seconded the movement.
Feb. 25, 3 a.m.—My messenger has not returned
from Neufchatel. All communications are cat off
with Paris. The mail and passengers are returned to
Amiens.

ROME, FEB. 15.
The journals of this morning have come out with
red printing ink, to glorify the three constitn lanai i
charters of Turin, Tuscany, and Naples. The Pope I
seat yesterday a circular note to every cardinal in •
Rome to attend at the Quirinal, and though the con-
aistory
was secret its object is not doubted. Cardinal
Patrizi, the vicar-general of Rome, a retrograde and
narrowmindecl ascetic, has resigned his office, arid is
succeeded by Cardinal Orioli, a man of enlarged un-
derstanding, and conversant with human nature.
Cardinal Altieri attended the theatre, in the state-
box,
on Saturday, and was warmly applauded : he is
President of Rome and the Comerca, and as the
cardinal-legate of every province is expected to patro-
nise the opera, he was ordered by Pio None to appear
in his place. An account has come t:rorn Constantinople
of the reception of the Papal Nunzio Ferrieri by the
grand vizier. That sublime personage presented the
giaour with coffee and a splendid jewelled pipe, and
they sat on the same ottoman for an hour conversing
on things in general and puffing their chibouks in
perfect amity. Titmareh or E.ithen might do justice
to the scene. A question arises here why a papal
nunzio who can smoke with an infidel may not take
share of a sirloin at Windsor Castle? "If not, why
not ?"
The Jews of Rome have clubbed to furnish the civics
with a field piece. I notice, with pleasure, a sensible
letter in the .Ithemrum, descriptive of our Circalo
Romano, which is a society truly useful, and carried
out on principles most enlightened and liberal. It is
perfectly true that a Jew is on the committee. The
American envoy, Mr. Cooper, who is here on a mis-
sion similar to that of Lord Tinto, was rapturously
received in that circle this week. Ile has had no oc-
casion to remark any symptoms of paltry exclusive-
ness or booby pride of caste in the Romans.
It is w ith pain that I feel bound to contrast the
English club with the Circa° Romano. This
concern, managed by no committee, but one individual,
has the preten.'on to exclude from membership the
whole medical piJfession and all bankers! The man-
ager made an exception two years ago in favour of
Dr. Somerville, in his capacity of husband to the ac-
compliaLed Urania, vho wrote about the " Con-
nexion of the !'hysi:4l Sciences;" but this year he
has had the pr. sumption to enforce his contempt for
the liberal profe,ion by putting; his ban on Doctor
Holland, of May-fair, a well-known member of
the clubs in Pall-mall, and a man of independent
fortune and geleral accomplishments. The banker
Plowden, whoa • ance..ta• was squire to Richard Coeur
de Lion in Palestine, is not deemed admissible to a
society manavl by a gentleman whose sire was a
Scotch labourer. And, as if to mark the affront mere
prominently, there is an exception made in favour of
the banker 'fork Dia, whose father was a tailor and
rat t de place at the opening of the present century.
The vi liters of It m, being of a migratory character,
CO one takes the Linable of rebuking this state of
things, and the anir is left in the hands of the
manager, who acts is concert with a retired purser of
as Indian tea ship, and these worthy exclusives do
pst as they like. Pray give the Scotch gentleman
lusdue—viz., a niche in the temple of Roman celebrity.
