FRANCE,
PARIS, APRIL 17.
SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR.

The Emperor received the deputation with the
Address of the Corps Legislatif at 2 p.m. yesterday.
His Majesty thanked the deputation, and added :
" Every year you defend with firmness the funda-
mental laws which maintain a just equilibrium be-
tween the powers of the State. The :country is
grateful to you for this. Under the present regime
its life is being developed. It sees administrative
obstacles disappear, progress is insured, and secu-
rity guaranteed. By the electoral movement and
the voice of the Tribune and the press, it feels that
it is free. Thus far from wishing to cut down the
tree which has borne good fruit, the mass of the
labouring classes, the classes who possess, the men
who remember, and those who hear and read, fear
the abuse of liberty even more than the abuse of
power. Continue your labours, the object of
which is the moral and material improvement of
individuals by the education and labour of the
commune and the department, and the extension
of their powers. Without incessantly wishing to
change everything, let us be content with bringing
a fresh stone to the edifice, the foundation of which
is broad and cannot be raised too high."
His Majesty's speech was received with applause.

The members of the Cercle Imperial have held a
general meeting to nominate a President in the
place of the late Duke de Morny, and Gen. Fleury
was elected by a largy majority.

African colony, to take the command of the Algiers
division.

GALLANT ENCOUNTER WITH BURGLARS.—At the
Nottingham Borough Police office on Saturday
morning last John Jones, George Braham, and William
Littlewood were taken before the sittingmagistrate, charged
with an attempted burglary at the house of Mr. Taylor, in
Lincoln-street. Taylor's house joins up to the shop of Mr.
Lovell, a watchmaker and jeweller, and appears to the
casual observer to be part of his premises. Mr. Taylor and
his wife were sleeping in a room over the house place, and
about two o'clock on Thursday morning Mrs. Taylor was
awoke by a "scratching noise," which appeared to come
from the shutters of the house-window. She aroused her
husband, and told him there was some one at the shutters.
At first he said it was all nonsense, but, as the sound con-
tinued, he eventually got up and threw up the sash of the
bedroom window, and after telling her that the house-
shutters were open, leaped out into the yard, making
a remark, at the same time, that there were three
men outside. His wife went down stairs, and on going
out found him struggling with a man in the narrow pas-
sage. An alarm was then raised, and Sergeant Atkinson
came up and took the man into custody. After jumping
out of the window Mr. Taylor seized two of the burglars,
who made a desperate attack upon him, kicking.him about
the legs in a fearful manner, and striking him violently on
the head and face. Having nothing on but his shirt, their
kicks and blows took great effect ; but, though one of the
men got away and attempted to force him to release the
other, he held him until the police officer had handcuffed
him. The prisoner gave the name of John Jones. Mr.
Taylor was so seriously injured that it was thought advis-
able to call up Mr. Brookhouse, surgeon, who stitched up
the principal wound, which is on the shin. The other
two men were apprehended on Thursday night by Mr.
Chief Constable Hedington. Both of them were identified
as having been seen late on Wednesday night loitering
near the place where the burglary was attempted. As
Taylor was unable to appear, owing to the injuries he had
received, the case was remanded for a week.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—The contractors
for the Spalding and March extension of this sys-
tem have erected a temporary bridge across the Welland,
over which tho ballast waggons aro daily running. The
permanent way is now laid for several miles from the
junction with the Great Northern. A number of men
are engaged in improving the gradients of the loop line, as
it is proposed to divert along this part of the system a con-
siderable portion of the coal traffic which now passes over
the main line, and which is found to interfere with the
lighter traffic. The directors have entered into a provi-
sional agreement to work a proposed line from Spelsby
to Forsley at 60 per cent. of the gross traffic receipts.
THE EXPLOSION IN THE BOROUGH.—DEATII OF
ONE OF THE SUFFERERS.—It will be recollected that
when the first explosion took place on the premises of
Messrs. Tilleard and Sons, the oil and Italian warehouse-
men in Great Suffolk-street, Borough, on Tuesday last,
two police-constables attempted to rescue Mrs. Tilleard
from the first-floor window of the house in question by
means of a ladder, which they placed against the front of
the shop. When they were bribging Mrs. Tilleard down
the ladder, a second explosion taking place, the unfortu-
nate deceased and the two constables wero thrown from
the ladder on to the granite pavement beneath. Mrs. Til-
leard was afterwards removed to No. 25, Great Suffolk-
street, witre she was attended by Mr. Sleeman, surgeon,
but her injuries were so severe that life was from the
first despaired of. Her death took place on Friday night
at 6 o'clock,
