The Phare de la Loire says :—" A letter from
Port-a-Prince, dated the 11th April, and received
at Nantes, via New York, mentions a very serious disaster,
by which one of the most important maritime towns of
Hayti has been partly destroyed. We have just received
intelligence,' it says, 'that a fire, caused by the negligence
of a cotton-presseser while smoking in his warehouse, has
reduced the half of the town of Gonaives to ruin. The
parts of the town occupied principally by small dealers are
burnt. The losses are heavy, and many of the commercial
houses of this place are heavy losers,'"
The Memorial de la Loire, in reproducing ti
toast proposed by M. Bouillieur, Mayor of Roanne,
to the Duke de Persigny, stated that the words used by that
municipal functionary, were, "I drink to the health of the
founder of France l" Such a qualification was sufficient
to astonish every one, but the liremorial now rectifies its
error. The founder of the "Diana" had been said, The
Diana is, we believe, a club at Roanne established by th 4
