TRADES' UNIONS IN FRANCE.—STRIKE 'P THE
BRONERWORKERS OF PARlB.—some excitement has heart
caused amongst the bronseworkera of the Faubourg St.
Antoine and the Marais in consequence of a disagreement
with the employers on the question of trades' unions. The
workmen had established a fund for the purpose of sup-
porting themselves in mule of a strike or lock-out, and they
appointed a committe to represent their interests and dis-
cuss their claims for an increase of wages. The masters
did not deny that there might be some foundation for the
demand of the men for a rise in their wages, but they
would not discuss the question with the committee, pre-
ferring to treat directly with the men themselves. More-
over they intimated to the men that if they continued
members of the union they might take their 1 irrels or
workmen's books away. The workmen supported the cool-
mitt4e, and the result is that in 69 workshops the men had
their 1 i rrets delivered up to them. It is said that sonic
sets of violence have been committed, and the subject ix
now under consideration of the legal authorities.

THE PARIS EXHIBITION.JA Paris letter says
. _

—" The silence of the Emperor upon the Exhibition is
.said to be explained by a rather smart remark attributed
to Count Bismarck. This is the story. The results of
the late war were being talked about before the minister.
' Prussia,' some one remarked, ' has had the line of the
Maine ; Italy has had Venetia ; Russia has the East at her
disposal. But France!' France,' the prime minister
of King William replied, ' Well, she has her—Exhibition.•
In reality, I give little credit to this story. The truth, in
my opinion, is that the Emperor perceive., somewhat late
in the day, that Al. Rouher, N. le Play, and beta optima
have made him attach more importance to the Exhibition
of 1867, than it deserves, that that great bazaar will have
the advantages but the fault. also of other bazaars of the
same kind, and that it will not be, as he had been pur-
suaded, an event of the highest order, destined to distin-
guish the history of his reign, and to exercise a decisive
influence upon the progress of civilisation."

THE Pismomear'a LEvEz.—Las t night (the 7th)
the President held a levee at the White House. It was a
very curious scene. Anyone who feels inclined walks in
at the door, and a crowd of very varied appearance is thus
produced in an hour or two. The city is at present very
crowded, and I thought List night that nearly everybody
must have been seized with the desire to shake bands with
the President. The throng was immense. Indies who
had come unprepared for such a press were sorrowing
over the untimely fate of their new dresses, and
sturdy citizens whom one may see in the day-
time loafing about the hotels or sitting on the
box of • cab, were shoving aside generals, foreign
ministers, and political grandees with a cluirnii.;:
freedom and sense of equality, and the " I'm as good as
you" expression very plainly written in their countenances.
$o large a concourse had evidently nut been expected. The
President was not prejeued for this sudden increase in his
friends. The arrangements were consequently as bad as
they could be, only one door being open fur ingress or
egress, and the crowd constantly pushing on with sonic
little impatience, but with unvarying good humour.
Indeed, I never yet saw in America an ill-natured
person in a throng of this sort. We were a motley set
in appearance ; some of us had lively red ties round
our necks, and wore daring shirts and pea-jackets,
and shooting coats showin.,* evident signs of long
wear and a steady course of tobacco chewing. A rather
short gentleman in a blue uniform and • wideawake hat
over his eyes, who stood near me, turned out to be Gene-
ral Grant, jammed so close that he could neither move
hand nor foot. Presently we were driven upon an unfor-
tunate diplomatist, who was suffering from extreme low
spirits, caused by the impremaion that he had been de-
Jrived of the tail of his coat. 'Open some other door,"
cried one or two among the crowd, but no one took any
notice of them. The ladies were a little frightened • but
some of thew, wearing bonnets and shawls, and looking as
' if they were going to market, seemed quite able to take
their own part. After half an hour's hard work we
reached the room where the President was receiving. One
of his secretaries *Linda by his side and mentions the
name of the vie:tor ; the President shakes hands (that is
a very important part of the process), and then the people
walk about and look at the rather handsome public 11)0111S.
Mr. Johnson seemed a little tired of bis amusement, but
pleased notwithstanding. It is long since he has had so
many people to see bin,. It must have been 12 o'clock
before he had shaken hands with all the crowd. Where
half of them came from, or who they were, of course
nobody knows or cares. Some of them were most re-
markable people to look at, and their notions of an eviaing
toilet were full of originality. These, however, are points
on winch groat freedom of opinion is allowed iu NViealing-
ton ; and if ordinary evening dre,e, sidle belie/leasable,
several high pemonages in the government would never

TEE FENIAN RAID IN IRELAND.

TEE ARREST OF A NEWSPAPER CORRESPON.
DENT.
(raosi OCR ows comm.:pox-Derr.)

CORK, THUM:MAY MORNING.
Yesterdai evening Mr. Mathew Tracy, the special
corespondent of the Owl: /Amid, was arrested in
Killarney on the charge of sending a false and
alarming telegram of rumoured disaffection amongst
' the military to the journal with which he has been
connected. For the last few days the news for-
warded from Killarney to all the newspapers has
consisted solely of rumour, as scarcely any addi.
tional facts have transpired with regard to the
raid and the Cork and Dublin journals
have been plentifully supplied by their "special
correspondents" with sensation telegrams of the
appearance of Fenian wills-o'-the-wisp at every
point of the compass. Every bit of bustle amongst
fussy officials and irate soldiers has given rise to a
crop of startling stories, and amidst all they hear
the wonder is that the correspondents have been so
moderate. Yesterday the soldiers, who had pre-
viously been allowed freely to enter the town of
Killarney, were kept strictly within their quarters,
and this circumstance immediately set agoing the
story that some of the men of a particular regi-
ment were found to have become disaffected.
There appears not to have been the slightest
grounds for the suspicion, but it was
repeated so often and with so much cir-
cumstantiality that the correspondents of two
Cork papers telegraphed the rumour to their
journals for publication in the ordinary morning
edition. One of these gentlemen was Mr. Tracy.
Since this outbreak the telegraph company's officers
at all the stations in the south are compelled to
submit every telegram they receive, in connexion
with Fenianism, to a magistrate, and to forward it
to the authorities in Dublin before it can be trans-
mitted to its destination. Mr. Tracy's telegram
was shown to one of the resident magistrate
in Killarney, and the result was that orders
were issued for the arrest of the writer. Mr.
Tracy was taken into custody at one of the hotels
in the town, and was brought before the magis-
trates who sit in permanence at the military head-
quarters, and after a hasty consultation he wan
committed to prison on the charge above stated.
His telegram was substantially the same as that
forwarded by the correspondent of the Cork Ea/-
mister, who has not been molested, and whose mes-
sage, transmitted without objection, was published
in a third edition of the journal. Even in a oountri
where the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Acts
and the arrest of fifty persons at a time, with an
occasional rebellion, are beginning to be regarded
as trifles, this does seem a high handed proceeding;
and one would imaginethat all necessaryends would
have been served as well by the simple suppression
of the peccant telegram. If every newspaper cor-
respondent who sends incorrect or alarming news
were to be at once taken into custody, the office of
reporting for the press would become one of some
peril.

A telegram from Killarney states that the un-
fortunate reporter has been removed to Bridewell.

CAHIRCIVEEN, VALENTIA, THCRSDAY EVFNINC.
A farmer living near Cahirciveen was arrested
last night for attempting to administer the Fenian
oath to a soldier of the 14th Regiment. The pri-
soner, with three others who have been committed
for trial for being present at the attack on the
c.,astguard station at Kells, were sent off to Tralee
this morning in charge of the troops and constabu-
lary. Considerable sympathy was shosn Inc the
population for the prisoners.
General Horsford and staff left Killarney this
afternoon for Komar° and Caliireiveen. A troop
of the 12th Lancers attended as escort.

The House of Lords will not receive any petiti.st

country ; and if so, whether it will be bid before the
house.

LORD NAAS AND THE BIwHOF. —Lord Nans did
not complete the extinct which he read last night from
Bishop Moriarty's address delivered to the flock in Kil-
larney on Sunday last. Denouncing the wretched men
who from Paris and New York stud their dupes into
danger, Bishop Moriarty added, " Oh, God's heaviest
curse—llis withering, blighting, blasting curse—is on
them." Lord Nun, quoting this to the house, said, "I
believe that this right reverend gentleman was :imply
justified in every expression that fell from him," which
observation, we must conclude, applies also to the follow.
ing words of the bishop, which immediately succeeded the
sentence quoted by the noble lord I preached to yott
last Sunday on the eternity of hell's torments. Human
reason was inclined to say, ' It is a hard word, and who
can bear it But when we look down into the fathomlew
depth of this infamy of the heads of the Feniai, conspiracy,
we must acknowledge that eternity ia not Ion!, (sough, Rae

THE AtrOECHENHENT OF THE PRINCEss of WAL Re.
—From the knowledge of the condition of the Princess of
Wales no small anxiety has been felt by the public at her
reported illness. It seems that her royal highness wall
seized on Thursday, the 14th hurt., with the usual r, mold..
tory symptoms of acute rheumatism. Dr. Arthur Farre
saw her ou that day, and as she was somewhat wore
on Friday Dr. Sieveking joined him in atterdanee, the
advantage of Dr. Jenner's experience la lug also sub-
inutitently obtained. The Princess sulfured celealerable
pain, and the fever ran high. For sonic time distress
was caused by the disease fixing itself wnh intensity
in one of the pnncipal joints, form whirl, it afterwards
shifted to soother. Happily, there is no rea-vol, we hear,
to feel :ippi elicit:ion of any mischief from internal complo
cation—a point which, in acute rheum.ttisto, is of course
a first consideration. It seemed quite possible at one
time that the compulsory quiet which the attack caned
might hare been sufficient to delay the date of the
Princes,'s confinement beyond what In. happened on each
previous ocea,a,iii. The high febrile actinii, however,
doubtless, uerved to precipitate an event which aas not in
the ordinary course of things, expected for month.
Although, we believe, the speedy confinement of the
Princess was not anticipated by Howe iiii..adiately about
her, Dr. Ferro went down on Tuesday evi :dm; Lot to
Marlborough House prepared to star, fe.li;ig that then was
sufficient uncertainty to render sus h a cow e desirable.
The step was justified by the occurrence, f the ~.at which
took the country somewhat by surprise om Wediu
