M. de.Saint Albin, a magistrate and landowner at
Montrouge, part of whose property lies on the line of
fortifiCations, had applied to the local magistrates for
redress against the contractors for the works of the line
in that district, on account of their having trespassed
on and injured his property without the proper legal
summonses having been made. He was assured that re-
dress should be given him, but, the trespass having been
renewed; he applied direct to the Tribunal of First In-
stance, the President of which, M. Debelleyme, has
issued a decree forbidding the parties in question from
entering on the ground of M. de Saint Albin, until all
the legal formalities shall have been duly complied with.
A difference having arisen, the day before yester-
day, between about 150 of the labourers employed on the
works of the fort at Noisy-le-Sec and the middleman,
who had engaged them, he referred them to the contrac-
tor. The labourers claimed of him 3£ a day, instead of
2E 50c., which he offered, and with which all the other
labourers were contented. The disputes which this oc-
casioned rose to violent altercations and acts which Made
the interference of the armed force necessary. A con-
flict would have ensued had not the Mayor of Roinain-
ville interposed, and by his remonstrances with the men,
in which he persevered for six hours, prevented an ex-
plosion.

.A SLAP IN THE FACE.—The Stockholm papers men-
tion that a saucy femme-de-chambre being lately brought
up before one of the Magistrates of the town of Hues-
berg in Sweden, so far forgot herself as to give him a slap
in the face while in the execution •of his office. Accord-
ing to the severe penal laws of that country she was
condemned to death ; and such was the violence of her
character, that it required a long time, and all the in-
stances of her friends, to induce her to sign a petition to
the King for pardon. She was at last prevailed on to
do so, and her sentence was commuted into imprismi-
ment for twelve days, and twelve months' labour in a
house of correction.

—/The following details of the election of the dele-
gates of Guadaloupe are given by the Moniteur Parisien :--
" The great majority of the Colonial Council, as appears
from the elections, belongs to the party which resists the
views of the Government as to slave-emancipation. The
number of Councillors who voted was 24. M. -d e Cha-
zelles, planter, of Guadaloupe, had 15 votes. M. Des-
mirail, formerly Procureur-General, and now planter at
Guadaloupe, 13; M. Granier de Cassagnac, 11, ; M.
Vil-
lemain, planter, at Martinique, 9. The minority felt
itself to be so weak, that it did not venture to vote for
Messrs: Jabrun and Janvier, the delegates who had given
in their resignations in consequence of differences with
the Colonial Council."

which is for the interest of the public, proceeds quietly
in our departments. It has been completed in 400
rural communes, and in the Banlieu of Besancon, the
officers employed in the operation for these ten days,
have every reason to be satisfied with the reception given
them by the citizens of all classes, and of all opinions,
whose houses they have visited.—Le Moniteur.
