PARIS, SATURDAY Nystrom.
Telegraphic despatches were received to-day by the
government announcing that an emensta had broken
out at Muer'lles, in consequence of the government's
ouppression of the Board of Health. The Prefecture
was forced by the excited mob ; but order was quickly
re-established. The apprehension excited at first by
this news soon went down, in consequence of the riot.
not being of a political character.
fhe Assembly in its sitting of today, refired to
authorise the prosecution demanded against M. Ilen-
nequin. The discussion of the budget socosedei, and
the last articles were adopted. Several additional
sticks were successively rejected. The only one
which deserves mention was proposed by M. Huguenin,
who wanted to impose on public functionaries a tax
varying from 1 to 30 per cent., according to the im-
portance of their appointments. The vote on the
ensemble of the budget was adjourned, and the de
lbate on the Bordeaux and Nantes Railway Bill was
resumed. The first paragraph of the first article,
which prolongs the concession to 30 years, was
adopted. A long debate then took place on the
second paragraph which exonerates the company of
the Tours and Nantes railway from the obligation of
reimbursing to the state a sum of seven millions for
buildings and levelling.. M. Versigny moved an
important amendment which excused the company
only two millions, and proposed that the payment of
the rest ahead be only postponed. This amendment
was supported by M. Paulin Gillen and opposed by
M. Ducal. After a long debate, without interest, the
house divided, and the amendment of M. Versigny
was rejected by 301 votes against 248.
The report of M. Gomm upon the bill for abro-
gating the forced circulation of the bank's notes was
presence to-day. It concluies in favour of the
adoption.
Another humiliation has been suffered by General
d'HautpouL This minister had given orders that the
honorific reception offered by the municipal bodies to
General de Cute:lane should not take place at Besan-
con, probab
to prevent the reception of the Presi-
dent of the Republic,who will shortly visit that city,
from being eclipsed. General de Castellane stirred
some influences at Paris in his behalf, and carried the
day. The ovation at Besancon has been permitted.
The Minister of Finance, M. Fould, is going, at
the end of this month, to the Hantee-Pyrenive, where
he will attend the session of the Council-General of
that department. His successor, ad interim, in the
department of finance, is not yet named.
Pari-ian society has just sustained a heavy loss in
the demise of Madams de Marliany, who expired last
night at her residence in the Rue d'Aguesseau.
The Bourse was a good deal more animated to-day.
There was a rise of 20 centimes on the Fives, which
closed at 97.30, and of 13c. upon the Threes, which
closed at 68.33.

SUNDAY ETININO.

The itinerary of the President seems to be settled
in the fdlowing order. First, he will go to Macon,
and from thence to Lyons; Besancon and Strubnrgh
are the next cities to be visited. Then the President
will proceed to open the railway from Metz to Nancy;
after which he will proceed to Cherbourg. The plan
of visiting Marseilles seems for the present to be given
up, in consequence of the ill blood bred by the diem-
lotion of the Board of Health. The journey to
Touloue is said to be pat off until next year.
Several representati Tee havin g acceptA directorships
in the Californian companies, which swarm on the
Boulevards, this return to habits which occasioned so
much scandal during the late reign, has been strongly
discountenanced by the great majority of the Assembly,
and many of those members have been called upon by
their colleagues to resign suoh compromising posts.
The growing differesces between the moderate and
extreme legitimists have, it wimp, determined M.
Berryer to repair to Wiesbaden, in the hope of re-
covering at the hands of his master sufficient autho-
rity to keep the mutinous and impatient spirit
of his party in due subordination. The great
question on which the two fractions split is the
amount of support to be given to the President. The
ultras have thrown themselves into decided opposition,
while the moderates pull pretty well with the Go-
vernment. The ultras fear the ambition of the Pre-
sident more than the agitation of the socialists. The
moderates hold it essential to support and terengthen
the President, in order to keep down the Iteds. Hence
they voted the dotation and the electoral law, bout of
which measures are deeply regretted by the /rune
Draft.. The Gazette de France contains a violent
article against M. Berryer, which is a symptom that
, the split between these fractions of the legitimists is
growing wider than ever.
.Le Peuple de 1850, which will henceforth appear
three times a week, contains to-day a letter from
M. Proudhon, stating that his motives in replying to
the Preterit were to repel a personal attack, and to
repudiate principles which have ruined the cause of
democracy ; but that he was far from the intention of
sowing discord in the ranks of the republican party.
The disturbances at Marseilles do not seem to have
been so serious as was at first apprehended. The
Courier de Marseille gives the following account of
the matter:

To-day, on the breaking up of the Bonne, a crowd of
persons engaged here in commerce repaired, in a state of
street excitement to the Prefeeture to protest spinet the
decree of the Government dissolving the Hoard of Health.
The Prefect appeared, with sone other person' on the
balcony, and consented to hear the remonstranees of the
crowd. One of the persons on the balcony having exclaimed
" We will right oarselves," General d'Antin, who stood by
his side, rebuked him for the impropriety of the expression.
This was the signal for a tremendous row. The mayor
ar-
rived at last, and succeeded in restoring order.
The firstaa§plication of the penalties declared in the
new elector aw has besejust made by the Correctional
Tribunal. One Ponpardin, a dyer, having falsely at-
tested that one of his workmen, Hilbert, had been in
his employment three years, has been condemned to
18 days' imprisonmenti and five years' interdiction
from his electoral rights.
Pane Le swarming to•day with curious visitors from
England and Belgium, arrived by tho huge " trains
de plaivir." The towns of the departments traversed
by these linked waggons, Ion; drawn out, have also
emit an ample contingent of citizens in search of Sun-
day recreation. On the other hand, the capital has
emptied forth its own thousand in twenty different
lines to destinations far and near, well furnisaed with
all sorts of holiday attractions, so u to trim the
balance of displaced population.
Mush nobs has been made by the dimities! of M.
&awe, director of the Odeon, from his post,lby the
Minister of the Interior. M. Baroche 'sagas as the
featly* of this harsh step that M. Boeage has, during
the whole of his continuance in office, attempted to
make us of the stage u a political engine for disse-
minating principles hostile to the government.
The report of M. Montigny on the proposition of
M. Do:auras]; relative to the bringing into cultiva-
tion a part of the waste lands of the communes, was
distributed yesterday to the Assembly. The committee,
in accordance with the views of the counells-generei,
object to the partition of the communal property, and
recionintend compulsory cultivation, laying down
certain rules of proceeding to effect this object. In
tine, aye the report, " the project of law (proposed in
It) by nting the partition of the property between
the inhabitants effaces the last truce of those revolu-
tionary laws which proposed the depriving the 00m.
muss of their property.
