FRANCE.

The Univers has the following on the violation of
the Sabbath and the religious fete days, with the ap-
parent sanction of the Government, after an official
notification that they should be respected by every
branch of the public administration. It says—
" We recur with regret to a grave matter which we
have already spoken of. In spite of the circulars of
the Ministers of the Interior and of Public Works,
the administration continues to violate the repose of
the Sabbath. Workmen were busy on Easter Sun-
day as on other Sundays. Ono of our readers points
out to U 3 works executed at the angles of the Place
du Pawl a.,n, and which certainly were not of an
urgent character; another person informs us that
workmen were also employed in the Rue Castiglione.
By the official circulars, the Government has itself de-
clared that such facts are deplorable, and yet they are
constantly renewed. Whence comes it to pass that
there is such a difference beteen the words and the acts?
We entertain no doubt of the sincerity of the Govern-
ment; in ordering that the works executed at the ex-
pense of the state, of the departments, and of the com-
munes should be suspended on the Sunday, it expressed
a well-considered and absolute intention. It is conse-
quently the inferior agents who are guilty of this
scandal, and who treat with mockery alike the orders of
the Government and the laws of the church. We do
not want to seek at present who are those agents, for
we wish to avoid all personal accusation; but wo must
again express a hope that the Government will got itself
obeyed."
We find in the Pays and the Assemble(' Nationale
articles against the revolutionary league which has
been got up in the United States by M. Kindel and
other German democratic Socialists. The Pays has
the following on this subject :
" We neither fear this ridiculous government, organized
on the other side the Atlantic, nor its armies, nor its
finance=. Society at present has need of peace and secu-
rity; tho late events accomplished in France have shown
that this want is felt as deeply and as energetically
higher classes; it will not allow itself to be led away
by any of those preachers of war and disturbance who
amongst the workmen and the peasants as amongst the
wish to throw the world into fresh convulsions. But if
the revolutionary government has not in our eyes any
principle of force and success, it is not the less true that
it is about to get up agitation, and prevent the restora-
tion of calm in that Europe which has been so sadly
disturbed during the last fifty years. These attempts,
which are almost always followed by defeat, will have
for result to arm European Governments with greater
severities. Cannot the incorrigible promoters of perma-
nent revolution see that every effort of demagogy is fatal
to liberty, and in rendering the right of a legal govern-
ment to defend itself more and more legitimate, it ne-
cessarily impels it to rigours which no man of sense
could reasonably reproach it for? In conclusion, we
may ask ourselves whether the revolutionary govern-
ment has a possibility of forming
itself as it pro-
puses. Between a project and the execution of it
there is a considerable distance. Will the Govern-
ment of the United States permit the establishment of an
organized power, having
itsdisposal
soldiers which might threaten d the the repose an
with the internal affairs olftEurope,
ex-
istence of the European Governments? We think not.

sounded with very viol 0 speakers pro-
claimed the duty the of American Union to occupy itself

We extract the following from a letter dated

" The dPparture of the Prince of Canino from Civita

commercial steamer Industry, bound for Marseilles,
via Bastia. The French Government had forbidden
the Prince to proceed to Rome, lest the anar-
chists should profit of his presence to disturb
public tranquillity, but it afforded him every
facility for the adjustment of his family Wilts.
M. de St. Sauveur bad arrived from France with
dispatches on the subject a week before. On the landing
of the Prince, M. de la Tour d'Auvergne had come
from Rome to Civita Vecchia to take his orders, and
returned to Rome, from whence M. de Rayneval sent
him to Perugia, where the Princess of Canino had
retired. On his return, M. de la Tour d'Auvergne
prccecded a second time to Civita Vecchia. Thus,
the French authorities did everything in their power
to enable the Prince to settle his domestic affairs;
and it is now obvious, even to the Italians them-
selves, that M. Charles Bonaparte was not en-
trusted with any political mission. A letter written by
a clergyman, who appears lobe attached to the Princess of
Canino, and published in a Piedmontese religious journal,
explains the nature of the business which brought him to
Civita Vecchia. The Prince owes an American 43,000
scudi (10,0001), which he wished to repay him, and for
that purpose be intended to sell his z iological cabinet and
his gallery of paintings. The family refusing its consent,
the Prince applied to the French Government for leave
to proceed to Italy, which was granted to him on condi-
tion that he should stop at Civita Vecchia. Though his
wife left Rome for Perugia, on hearing of his arrival, it
was not to avoid a settlement, but merely to bring away
her younger son, whom her husband wished to take
with him to France. The eldest son, who is of age,
remained at Rome. The two daughters, who are mar-
ried, visited their father, and one of them, the Countess
Campella, lately passed through Genoa with her hus-
band."

RIOT AT BARRINGTON COLLIERY.

A disturbance, attended with serious personal in-
jury, though with no loss of life, occurred on Tuesday
last, at Barrington Colliery, near Bedlington. Messrs.
Longbridge and Co. are the owners of Barrington
Colliery. The men work by monthly agreements,
terminated by a month's notice on either
side. About six weeks ago they received notice
of a reduction in their wages. There are two
pits at this colliery, and in the new pit the men
had hitherto been paid a uniform price of ls. 4d.
per ton ; but, as the seam varies considerably in
thickness in different places, so that there is much
greater difficulty in hewing a ton of coals in one
part of it than in another, the owners resolved to
make a corresponding variation in the scale of prices.
They accordingly gave notice that in future there
would be four pricer—namely, 15.2 d., is. 3d., is. 4d.,
and is. Gd. per ton, according to the thickness of the
seam. This, though a more equitable mode of regulating
wages, amounted, it seems, to a redaction in the aggre-
gate, which, it is said, would amount to about is. per
week in the average wages of the men in one pit.
In the other pit no reduction of prices has taken
place, though it was contemplated. After the month
had expired the men remained in their houses,
but refused to work at the reduced rate. In
consequence of this, the owners, being determined
to carry the new regulations into effect, ordered the
men to leave their houses and make way
for others who were willing to accept the terms.
On the men refusing to leave the two policemen
stationed at Bedlington, Drummond and Graham, got
such assistance as they could procure, and attempted
to eject them. This attempt was the signal for a de-
termined resistance on the part of the men generally.
They assembled to the number of from 200 to 300
men, several of them being from other collieries.
Many had provided themselves with sticks, and se-
veral blows were inflicted, the policemen and their
party defending themselves as well as they could. Two
men from Newcastle were severely wounded on the
head and in other parts of the body. Andrew Gra-
ham, policeman, Mark White, constable, and Michael
Barkas, a weigher at the pit, were also more or less
injured. Some of the houses occupied by the "black-
legs," as they are called (that is, the men who agreed
to the change), were much injured, the windows and
doors being smashed to pieces. One had to jump
through a window at the front of his house, to escape
the violence of the crowd. At length it was
deemed prudent to desist until further assistance
could be obtained. A special train came to this town
for the assistance of a body of policemen. Twelve of
the borough police were directed to give their assist-
ance, but declined to go unless a larger number was
sent, on the ground that their lives would be
endangered. The military authorities here were
next applied to. A detachment of infantry was
dispatched to the scene of disturbance about two
o'clock on Wednesday morning, and their appear-
ance completely quieted the men, who were still
assembled in great numbers about the colliery. The
military remained a few hours, until every appear-
ance of disorder was past, and then returned to the
town, but before their departure ten families were
dislodged from an equal number of houses, and en-
camped in the lanes. Four men, who had made
themselves conspicuous in resisting the police, were
apprehended and taken before the magistrates, who
remanded them for further examination. Their names
are Ralph Cleghorn, Walter Akenhead, William
Shute, and Zephaniah Jaques. Sebastian Frost and
David Hurst have since been apprehended. The
number of men employed at Barrington Colliery is
about 200. Many of them, it appears are willing to
work at the terms which have been offered, but they
are overawed by the others, who are more numerous and
more determined. It appears that the reduction of wages
is not confined to Barrington. It has already taken
place at Seghill, Cramlington, and that district, and
it is now going on at Sleek burn and Cowpen. Several
have had hills of indictment preferred against them,
but will not be tried till the next sessions.—New-
castle Courant.
