ANTI-PAPAL DEMONSTRATION IN
TRIESTE.

Private despatches from Trieste bring the news
of disturbances of some gravity in that city. A
large crowd traversed the streets crying out :
" Morte a Pio Nono " " Alaimo Bach !" The
escutcheons which ornamented the house of the
Papal Consul were torn down, and a violent
irruption very nearly made into the Capucine
monastery. It was, in fact, quite an anti-papal
movement, and if no blood was shed the reason
is that care was taken not to call out the troops.
Against whom were these hostile demonstrations
primarily directed ? Against M. Edouard do
Bach, Governor of Trieste, and brother of that
famous Minister to whom Austria is indebted for
the Concordat, and who, by his strongly anti-
liberal conduct, has for a long time exasperated
the population of the place.

A SCENE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER.
The following scene took place in the Corps
Legialatif on Tuesday:
M. Tturrax—The hon. minister has stated that every
precaution is taken in order that electors may be inscribed
in time, but the example of Paris gives a peremptory nega-
tive to that assertion. This city, or rather the department
of the Seine, has had within the last five years an increase
of 600,000 inhabitants.
A Mmomm—Nomadc !

M. PELLETAN—No ! the census is taken only of settled
inhabitants. But the constitution declares that the num-
ber of deputies shall be in proportion to that of the popu-
lation. (Noise.)

Severed Mionnuta—To that of the electors.
M. PELLErax—The constitution is formal. It adds
that there shall be a deputy for 3.5,000 electors. (Move-
ment.) That clause is why the latter are not inscribed.
The population of this department has increased by
600,000, and the number of deputies has diminished. I
know that the Prefect of the Seine can work miracles;
after having remade Paris, he readily devises a now
arithmetic, and will prove even to M. Pouyer-Quertier
himself that two and two make three. (Laughter.) The
number of electors inscribed in Paris has not varied and
yet you have changed the electoral circumscriptions.
(Noise.) You cannot repudiate what you have done.
However, it is pains thrown away; you may manipulate
the map of Paris as you will ; you will not win the game.
(Noise.) And what has been attempted in this city has
also been tried elsewhere in order to defeat an opposition
candidate. Of all election maneeuvres this is the worst,
and never has a greater outrage been offered to universal
suffrage. (Approval from the Opposition ; dissent from
other benches.)
M Plclr.D—This is a question of probity. (Murmurs
from a large number of benches.)
The Peemeeter—M. Picard, you have lately adopted a
habit against which I am bound to protest, that of as-
galling intentions and imputing motives. It is one which
is extremely dangerous and greatly to be deplored. (Hear,
bear.)
M. Pie.ken—l do not at all accept these words. You
have only one right, which is to call me to order if I de-
serve it ; but neither you nor anyone else will prevent me
from qualifying as I have just done that which has taken
place in respect to the electoral circumscriptions of Paris.
(Dissent. Noise.)
The PaEntnest—Be itso ; but qualify them in terms ac-
ceptable to all.
M. Picane—l repeat that the manipulation of the
electoral districts raises a question of probity. (Interrup-
tion.)
M. Ontrrixit-Psols—They are dealt with fraudulently
in Paris—(noise)—that is the truth.
The PuseaDswr—For the dignity of our debates and the
reputation of the Chamber itself, it is of importance not
incessantly to express suspicion, nor to describe, in offen-
sive terms, intentions and motives. In this sense I con-
firm and maintain my observation.
M. WA's-Bum:it—When they are not honest they
should be characterised.

M. Oaitarxx-PAoze (with animation)—We shall never
accept as acts of good faith the frauds which are com-
mitted in expunging names from the electoral lists.
The Passnerwr—lif. Ganger Pages, be good enough to
calm yourself. (Laughter.) That is all I desire to say
to you.
