THE SUN, LONDON,

A letter from Troyes, of the 16th instant, states,
that on the preceding day three accidents occurred on
the Montereau Railroad. In the first case no life was
lost ; in the second, a cantonnier was killed ; and in
the third, a passenger, who endeavoured to overtake
a train, was likewise killed.

It was said yesterday at the National Assembly
that M. de Champvans, supported by a great num-
ber of colleagues, intended to address interpellations
to the Ministry on the subject of the clubs. M. de
Champvans, it is said, came to that determination on
the ground that the Constitution, whilst guaranteeing
the right of meeting only, thought of accidental or occa-
sional meetings, and not permanent or periodical ones,
such as clubs undoubtedly are. Before, however, car-
rying his intention into effect, the Hon. Member in-
formed, it is said, M. 0. Barrot and M. Leon Faucher
of his design, and added that he should call on them
to suppress absolutely all the clubs, in order to give a
pledge of security to the country. It is positively
affirmed that both Ministers replied to him that they
intended themselves bringing in a Bill relative to the
clubs, in the sense alluded to by M. de Champvansand his friends. _ _ .

The Constitutionnel says :—" In learning that their
trial was near at hand, the prisoners of the affair of
May 15 entered on the task of choosing their defen-
ders. Several lawyers of the Mountain are already
designated. MM. Ledru Rollin and Theodore Bac
are to defend, it is said, one Barbes, and the other
Albert; M. de Courtais is to have M. Michael (de
Bourges). As to Raspail and Blanqui they intend
speaking for themselves. It is not known if M. Louis
Blanc and M. Caussidiere will appear at the trial. On
leaving France they said they certainly would.
