M. Olozaga, Spanish Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary, has arrived in Paris, and has had a private
audience of the King.
The election of a Deputy for the 12th arrondissement of
Paris took place yesterday. M. Boissel, having obtained 308
votes, was declared duly returned. His competitors, M. Pres-
chez had 177, M. Penis 74, and M. Julie 24.
The rise yesterday in the Three per Cents., which created
much surprise on 'Change, was occasioned by the failure of M.
Joubert, a stock-broker, who for years has done an immensity
of business, and ruled the price of Stocks. He had sold Three
per Cents. to an enormous amount, which were obliged to be
re-purchased. A failure also took place in the coulisse, where,
it was mid, 300,000 f. Rentes were re-purchased.
The suit of the Procureur du Roi against the Gazette des
Tribunaux for giving an account of a trial at Grenoble in
which M. Didiar was plaintiff and the responsible editor of
the Courrier de l' Isere defendant (the laws of September pro-
hibiting reports of trials for defamation ), came on yesterday be-
fore the Tribunal of Correctional Police. The Tribunal, after
hearing evidence, decided that as the suit at Grenoble was not,
strictly speaking, for defamation, but for the refusal of the
editor to insert a letter written by M. Didier in vindication of
the memory of his father, which had been attacked by the
Courrier de l' Isere, the action agtinst the Gazette des Tram-
naux under the law of September could not lie. The suit was
therefore dismissed. The responsible editors of the Quotidi.
erne and Gazette de France, against whom similar prosecu-
tions were brought, were also acquitted.
The Observateur of Brussels gives the following details o
the suicide of the two young men at Mechlin, noticed on Tues-
day :—" The two young men had been four days at the hotel.
In the evening of the suicide they ordered two bottles of wine
to be served in the garden, and soon after eight two pistol-
shots w ere heard, one immediately following the other. One
of the servants of the hotel rushed to the spot, and there found
the young men bathed in their blood. One was still in his
chair, the other had fallen over with the chair in which lie had
been sitting. They were both dead, and horribly disfigured.
The motive for this deed is unknown, but it is said that a paper
found on the table where they were sitting stated that they
belonged to a respectable family, and that their bill at the inn
would be paid, as they had apprised their friends of it. The
paper also contained a request that their death might be made
as little public as possible."
The latest accounts received from Kirchberg are dated the
13th. The situation of the Prince is improved. By the ap.
plication of a new dressing the constraint of the position has
been much relieved, in which he must remain for some days,
till the cure is complete. This time is rapidly approaching.
In other respects the health of Henry of France is very good.
No change is perceptible in his features—he feels no more
nervous pains, his nights are calms—in a word, it is now per-
fectly clear that all the unfavourable reports that have been
published never had the slightest foundation.—La Gazette
de France.
A letter from Grenoble, in the Reparateztr de Lyons, says that
the operations of the census were to commence on the 20th Sep •
tember. The Government has made a great display of measures,
to repress attempts at resistance. The citadel is armed, and the
troops have been constantly at their posts for some days past.
A piece of cannon has even been placed at one of the gates.
The Gazette d' Auvergne, of the 21st, says—' On Saturday
morning, at six o'clock, the soldiers of (the garrison of Cler-
mont, after having removed all the stray and numerous barri-
cades which they had erected in all the streets leading to the
To,s'n-hail, and in other places, returned to their barracks, and
all the thoroughfares are again free. On the same day the
Cathedral was re-opened, and divine service performed as usual.
" Several arrests have taken place since the publication of
our last number, some of them in the little towns in the
neighbourhood.
" The number of parsons arrested up to this day, is said to
amount in all to 125."
The same journal has the following article :
" A force of about nine hundred men was sent on Sunday,
the 19th, about three o'clock in the morning, to the villages of
Aubiere and Beaumont. When the inhabitants awoke they
were astonished at this great display of military force. The
object of which is said to have been some arrests, and the dis-
arming of the two villages. In fact, the inhabitants were in-
vited by the Mayor to deliver up the arms of the National
Guard, which was in general complied with. Only three or
four persons were arrested, who, on the application of the
Mayor, were released, except one belonging to Aubiere."—Le
Commerce.

‘• An army of juvenile marauders," says the Droit, " ap-
pears to have invaded the environs of Paris, stealing whatever
comes within their reach, fruit and vegetables, ripe and un-
ripe, wood, agricultural instruments, &c. The gardes-chain-
petres have already arrested many, and yesterday the gendarmes
brought into Paris, from Boulogne, a large squad of these
young depredators, caught in the act of stripping an orchard.
Part were found plucking the fruit, and throwing it over the
wall to their associates outside, who were busily employed in
putting it into sacks."
The King of Prussia, the Princes, and the Court, have ar-

M. and Mme. Thiers passed through Cologne on the 17th
inst., and Verviers, in Belgium, on the 18th, on their return
to France. The Cologne Gazette says that M. Thiers was

against the Royal Dukes.

- A search was made by the police on Monday, in the lodge
of a portress, in the Rue de Charonne, and many arms and
much ammunition was seized. The woman was arrested, and
has been committed for trial.

A melancholy accident occurred yesterday afternoon at St.
Cloud, where, while a detachment of cuirassiers were bathing
their horses in the river above the bridge, one of the animals
got out of its depth, and sunk with its rider. Both man and
horse were drowned.

A letter from Brest says :—" Since the Ist instant fifteen
vessels, of fi om 250 to 300 tons burthen, have entered this
port, with masts and other timber, for the dockyard. The
ships were English, Russian, Prussian, Hanoverian, and Nor-
wegian."

A violent dysentery has broken out among the troops in gar-
rison at Dieppe, and several men have died of it.
The tusks of a fossil elephant of enormous size were found,
a few days since, in digging a well near Valenciennes. They
have been placed in the museum of that town.
Extensive ameliorations are, it is said, about to be made in
the pavement of the Place du Carrousel, the Place du Louvre
and de l'Oratoire, the interior of the Louvre, and the Quays
du Louvre, des Tuelleries, Voltaire, and Malaquais. The
Place du Carrousel (the state of which has so long been a
disgrace to the city, and the sufference of even the present
untidy, irregular, condition of which, in front of a Royal re-
sidence, is to us inconceonivafbol),

on the fortifications could only be spent in improving the
streets of the capital, Paris would become, in reality, what it
has so long boasted to be, one of the finest cities in the world.
The Journal de l' Arrondissement du .Havre says .—" A
contract has just been made with an English Company for re-
covering the cargo of the Telemaque, wrecked off Quillebeu,
in 1790. The Company has engaged to spend, at least,
100,000 francs in the entleavour before it is given up. We do
not know what information as to the real value of the cargo
in the sunken ship the Company may have, but it would
hardly have bound itself to expend so large a sum unless it
was certain of a greater profit than could be produced by the
timber with which the Telemaque was said to have been laden.
" The whole line of railroad between Strasburgh and Bale,
says a Alulhausen letter, " was ripened on Sunday. At nine
iu the morning the Alinister of Public Works, the Prefect of
the Bas Rhin, the other authorities, and a great number of
persons invited by the Company, assembled at the Kcenigs-
hoffen station, Strasburgh, and immediately started for this place,
where it arrived at half-past eleven. The scene was very en-
livening. The train was decorated with garlands and ;lags,
and the way was crowded with people cheering it as it passed
rapidly along. It then continued on its course to Bale, whence
as yet we have no account."

flames made rapid ascendancy. Immediately that the fire was
discovered the fire-engines and men from Chandos-street fire-
station were sent for, and it being so near, were fortunately
promptly on the spot, and by the great exertions of the firemen,
aster a considerable time, succeeded in extinguishing it, but not
before extensive damage to the valuable stock and premises
had been sustained.
FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN CONROY.-011 Wed-
nesday the remains of Captain Conroy, late of the Coldstream
Guards, who died of pulmonary consumption at Wisbaden,
where he had proceeded in the hope of recovering his health,
were interred in the churchyard of Plumstead, about a mile to
the eastward of Woolwich. Sir John Conroy and two of his
sons from Kensington attended the funeral. The deceased offi-
cer was the second son of Sir John Conroy, and his remains

FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN SUSSEX.—
Early on Tuesday morning last a fire broke out at a farm in the
occupation of Mr. Phillips, at Mayfield, Sussex. Mr. Phil-
lips was awoke by seeing bne of his barns, which had been re-
cently filled with wheat, in a blaze. An alarm being given,
a number of labourers were soon on the spot, and rendered
every assistance. Expresses were sent to Lewes and the neigh-
bouring towns for the engines ; but the labourers succeeded
in confining the fire to the barn, and extinguishing it before
their arrival. On examining the ruins, a horrible sight pre-
sented itself, a woman and two children having slept in the
barn, the latter were found burnt to a cinder, and the poor
woman dreadfully burnt, and in a state of insensibility. On
Thursday ass inquest Was held on the bodies of the children,
before F. H. Gell, R
the Coroner for East Sussex, when
it appeared from the evidence that the poor woman, ho was
on the road to the hop-grounds, for the purpose of hop-pick-
ing, had applied to the farmer for permission to sleep in the
bans, which he granted, when the poor creature, who ap.
peared much fatigued, with her two children, who were about
the ages of three and five years, retired to rect., and they were
found in the morning as above described. The only way the
fire could be accounted for was by the heating of the wheat.
After a lengthened investigation, the jury returned a verdict of
Accidentally burnt to death." The poor woman, who has
been bereft of her children and her little stock of clothes, is so
severely injured that it is not expected she matey.
