M. Beauvallet, of the Theatre Francais, was amus-
ing himself with his children, two days ago, in making
and igniting trains of gunpowder. Through some inad-
vertency the fire caught a powder-flask in his right hand
and caused it to burst, injuring the hand to such an ex-
tent, that it is feared that amputation will be necessary.

The Journal du Havre mentions, as a proof of the
distressed state of the colonial sugar trade, that a vessel

growers.
The Angers papers mention that after a review of
the troops and National Guards at Laval, in the Maine et
Loire, on the 29th ult., an officer of the line entered a
cafe where there were several young men belonging to
the National Guard. A dispute arose between the officer
and an artilleryman of the National Guard, which became
so aggravated that they went out into the street and
fought with their sabres by the light of the illumina-
tions. Before they could be parted the officer had re-
ceived a wound in the arm, and another on the shoulder,
which are severe though not dangerous.
Two French Protestant Missionaries, as we learn
from the Lyons Papers, have been arrested in the de-
partment of the Ain, for selling a lithographic engraving
connected with their mission, which had not been sub-
mitted to the censorship. The Correctional Tribunal of
Belley has condemned them each to 100 f. fine, and a
month's imprisonment, being the niinimuin of the penalty
decreed by the laws of September for that offence.

mistaken when we said that our Attorney-General is in
concert with the Extraordinary Commissioner intended

Moniteur Porisien, received this morning, announces that
the thing is done, which proves that notice had been sent

FRANCE.

PARIS, VITYIDNESDAY.—Le Journal des Debuts praise:
the last London Protocol, which, it asserts, was unwil-
lingly consented to by England and Russia, but signed
with a good grace by Austria, France, and Prussia, as

preponderate in the concerns of the Turkish empire.
Toulouse remained quiet, but the excitement in the
public mind continued, and arrests were daily taking

The Quctidienne quotes a letter from Kirchberg, at

Stock market.
The Un:cers asserts that the Minister of Justice, so

quest that tribunal to take no steps against him.
The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Constan-
tinople of the 22d ult., stating that the Sultan was very

time. He frequently went out, but always- in a state
barge ; and on Fridays he visited only the mosques situ-
ated along the banks of the Bosphorus,
Accounts from Berne, contained in the Debuts, state
that the canton of Tessin was a prey to the vengeful acts
and violent extortions of the political party then at the
head of affairs, and called for the interference of the

disturbed state. _ . .
