PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
The intelligence contained in my postscript of yes-
terday, that the list of the clubs for the Committee
of Permanence had passed without exception, is
confirmed by the newspapers of this morning.

nicr, fusionist, 438 ; I)ufougerais, legitimist, 437;

The members who obtained the greatest number
of votes after the proceeding wereGeneralCavaignac,
267; I)ufuure, 270; Grevy, 269; Vesin, 234; Jules
do lAsteyrie, 212 ; do Remusat, 238 ; Bixio, 237 ;

lessert, 203 ; le Gili:•ral de Saint-Priest, 80; le Gilie-
ral do Lamoricii•re, 73 ; Bonne, 55.

The list of the members of the committee of per-
manence given by the Journal elrB De&its, is ineor-
I met. General Cavaignac is not among the candidates
elected, as stated by that journal. On the other
hand M. de Montemart, who is placed among the
first of the non-elect upon the DeSati list, is one of
the last elected. The only deviation from the list of
the two clubs is the election of M. do 11Ielun instead
of de Touchy.
To-day the Assembly adopted, by .7)S•lvotes against
7, a credit in favour of the establishment of tele-

graphic lines.
Al. Mayne, Minister of Public Works, presented a
bill opening an extraordinary credit of 11 millions
for the Avignon Railway, of which 9 millions is as-
signed to the section lietween Chalons and Lyons,
and 2to that between Avignon and Valence. He
proposes that the two railways should be comprised
in the same debate.
M. Dufaure, in the name of the committee, insisted
energetically in favour of urgency being pronounced
to-day, and the debate being fixed for Monday. Tho
minister maintained that urgency could not be voted
before the committee of the budget had made known
its opinion on the system of the committee, which
involved a loan of dl) millions, and established a de-
. .

mode of proceeding under eolov- of it 4 being

provisional.
M. Dufaure insisted, with great vehemence, that
the system of the committee was the only one pos-
sible, in order to go on vigorously during the proro-
gation and during the winter with the works. I e
maintained that the 11 millions demanded by the
minister would be insufficient, and that the absence
of companies, which could offer teethe:lent guarantees
led necessarily to the adoption of the committee's
system. The Assembly decided that the committee
of the budget should give its opinion, and adjourned
the question of urgency until Monday. The house
then proceeded to vote a credit for the repair of ca-
thedrals.
It was recently stated that the French squadron
had left the port of Cadiz for Ajaccio. The latest'
intelligence, is, that a steamer has been despatched
from Toulon to meet the squadron, with orders that
the latter should forthwith proceed to the Isles of
HyYres. The Totdonnate attributes this movement
to the presence of Admiral Parker's fleet off Tunis,
where its unexpected arrival is said to produce a
great sensation.
1 he Marquis and Marchioness of Nurmanby have,
on the occasion of the visit of the royal commis-
sioners of the Great Exhibition, and othes distin-
guished persons from London, issued cards of invita-
tion to a reception at the hotel of the British em-
bassy on Tuesday next.
The committee on the sale of tobacco has reversed
its previous decision of adjudicating the licenses of
bale, and recommends the maintenance of the present
system.
M. Waissc has won the day in the department of
the Nord, basin" polled 41;192 votes, while his
adversary, M. IMarogYre, the legitimist candidate,
has only obtained 11,436. The number of votes
necessary to validate the election is 36,250. There
remains to be examined the ballots of 17 sections.
The conservative candidate for the Lot is M.
Belted. It seems doubtful if he will obtain the suf-
ficient number of votes for his election.
Four of the prisoner accused of complicity in the
Lyons plot have been acquitted, and were met at
Villeneuve by -1,000 people, who sang the Mar-
seillaise in triumph.

31. 1 iutrou-Bon der, the sub-prefect of Boredom.
has laid before the public a statement of the eau
which led to his dismissal. It will be reruemberet
that the disclosures made by M. Dutrou-hornier to
the committee charged to examine the revision peti-
tions, formed the principal evidence upon which the
recent vote of censure against ministers was founded.
After the sub-prefect's refusal to act upon the letter
of M. Desaubiers, the prefect of the Basses-Alpes,
ordering him to use his influence in procuring signa-
tures to the revision petitions. further differences
arose between them. 'the sub-prefect then wrote to
M. L. Faucher, to say that the difference between
himself and his superior was of such a serious nuturn
that they could no longer act together with ad-
vantage to the public service. He claimed I
to have his conduct either publicly blamed,'
or publicly approved by the minister, and that either
himself or the prefect should be dismissed. In an-
swer to this letter, the sub-prefect was ordered to
come to Paris, where he had two interviews with
the minister. M. Leon Faucher, said that he blamed
the prefect, who had gone " too far," but that, as it
was impossible for M. Dutrou-Bornier to remain any
longer under him, he (M. Faucher) would appoint
him to a sub-prefecture in another department. The
sub-prefect declined this, expressing his readiness to
menace his place, Subsequently M. Fortoul, a
representative of the Basses-.pipes, and a warm par-
tisan of the Elyste. sought an interview with M.
Dutrou-Bernier. M. Fortoul said that the law of
the 31st of May did not emanate from the President
of the Berilffic. That he had allowed it to pass,
but that he had never supposed it to be applicable to
his election. That if the President were to resign
and appeal to the people it would be to absolute
universal suffrage that he mould appeal, and that
after his re-election nobody would dare to talk about
the constitution. M. Bornier affirms that he expressly
mentioned to M. L. Faucher at the second interview
with him, that nil the correspondence between hi=
and the prefect had been laid before the committee
on petitions, and that, nevertheless, M. L. Faucher
ordered him to return to his duties. Great, there-
fore, was his surprise at his receiving afterwards
from M. Faucher a letter, demanding a categorical
answer to the question, whether he had given up to
a third person letters received by him in his charm-
ter as a public functionary. M. Dutrou-Bornier, in
reply, reminds the minister that he well knew he
bad done so, and that ho had refused another sub-
prefecture on purpose to reserve to himself the most
perfect freedom of action with respect to the docu-I
ments in his hands. The dismissal of M. Dutrou- !
Bonder is, however, the only practical result of the
vote of censure, which owed its origin to his com-
plaints of the over-zealous conduct of the prefect of
the Basses-Alpes.
The only judgment pronounced by the court to-
day in the cause of Lemulier v. earlier, Foreade, and
Virmaitre is a dilatory one. The court is of opinion
that M. Curlier is not amenable to the action with-
out the permission of the council of state, and that
the case of the other defendants is so connected with
his that no separate judgment can be pronounced
upon it.
