tion will be for the 16 March. The Chamber. of Com-
merce, sod the Consultative Chambers of Arts and
Manufactures will be called on to elect, the former, 31
delegates, who will form the Council general of Om.
merce ; and the latter, a similar number, to wove,
the Council General of Manufacturer. Each of there
councils will be completed by the addition of e.x mem.
bees named by the Minister of Cinmerce, and specialty
chosen among those branch!s of commerce and mere.
fac,ures which are not sufficiently represented by the
local chambers. The number of members of each
council will consequently be V. The Council general
of Agriculture will be composed of 86 member',
liftmen directly by the minis er, so that each of the
86 departments will be represented. The questions of
sugars and the navigation laws appear to be the
most important measures which the couocils eta have
to examine. The seesion will last about a month."

been oblierd to remove and to seek anothir pLue for iy
meetings; The motive for the cancelling of the feces has
not arisen from any difference between the c-r.trAting
pectin, but from the slum caused to the ruirchioceni by the
agitation which prevailed tor some days in eonseritt or, of
the cumin/ down of the trees of 11,.rty. The marau,,,,,
feared that, in the event of any diqurbance, the house ra ght
be attacked, under the pretext that it wu the flace of meet-
ing of the moderate party.

Lefebvre states that 521 application.. Er pecuniary
aid were received from associations,and 60 only were
cor sidered by the council, b fore le hich they were

to the associations, which were theteikt the mast
worthy of encouragement from their object and rep-

Par.s received 760,000 f, and twenty in the de-
partments 1,029,0001. The number of igreets
ieesticiated in the thirty societies of Paris
amounted to 434, which gives f r each peown
1,751 f. 15c. These societies were f Irtned for part-
eersnips of 20, 30, 40, SO, sod even h) y: ars ; but eo
little harmony was there in most of them that in lees
than a year there were 74 resignations, and 15 exp;!.
sions, and eleven changes of managers, two of whin
were dismissed for breach of trust. Uf these thaty
societies, eleven appear to have made soma prof 9,
sixteen have sustained losses which in some instreects
might be repaired by industry, harmony, and or&r,

their earnings kept heel that where they would
have received tbree francs per day frni a mat-
