sEVENING, JUNE 3O, 1848.

" 1. The National Assembly confers the executive
power on General Caysignac."
This paragraph was unanimously adopted by the As-
sembly, and the whole House and the National Guards,
who constituted exclusively the auditory in the public
galleries, joined in the cries of " Vice la Rerpubligue
" Vive le General Cavaignac .'
" 2. The General shall assume the title of President
of the Council."
l'his paragraph was carried with the same unanimity.
" 3. He will name his own Ministry."
A Member asked that he should propose his Minis-
try, but the
.Assembly voted the paragraph without
heeding the objection, and not more than 30 rose
against it.
The entire decree was then adopted, the opposing
Members not exceeding 20.
The Assembly afterwards adjourned.
On the sitting being resumed, at four o'clock, the Pre-
sident announced that M. Dornes, wounded at the bar-
ricade of St. Denis, was fast recovering. He then in-
vited the Members, in the interest of the wounded, to
visit them only at the hours fixed by the administra-
tion of the hospitals, between seven and ten o'clock in
the morning.
The President next read to the Assembly the draft
of the special decree relative to the Archbishop of Paris.
It was thus worded:—
" The National Assembly regards as a duty to pro-
claim the sentiment of religious gratitude and profound
sorrow which all hearts felt for the devotion and saintly-
heroical death of the Archbishop of Paris."
M. de liemilly then proposed to the Assembly to in-
vite its War Committee to prepare-Ist, A decree
against secret societies ; 2d, Another relating to the
clubs ; 3d, A third against the construction of barri-
cades ; 4th, A fourth regulating the posting of bills and
the sale of political journals in the streets ; and, a fifth,
relative to the caution-money and police of the press.
He, moreover, demanded that the Committee of the
Interior be directed to prepare a decree on the dissolu-
tion of the national workhouses of Paris ; and a second
on the non-armament of citizens who do not form part
of the National Guard ; and, finally, to order the Mi
nister of War to assemble a camp in the neighbourhood
of Paris, or in the Champ de Mars.
The Assembly afterwards adjourned.
In the evening sitting, General CAVAIGNAC, as we
have already stated, announced the formation of the
new Ministry. General CHANGARNIER arrived on Wed-
nesday evening from Algeria, and immediately waited
on General CAVAIGNAC, who had just received informa-
tion that an emeute had broken out at Courbevoie.
General CAVAIGNAC requested the Governor of Algeria,
if he did not feel too much fatigued, to lose no time in
prooceeding to Courbevoie. General CHANGARNIER
immediately mounted his horse, and proceeded at once
to Courbevoie. On his arrival there he found that it
was a false alarm. General CHANGARNIER has been, it
is said, appointed Commander-in-Chief of the National
Guards. General BEDEAU, who has been obliged to
undergo the operation of amputation of the leg in con-
sequence of the wound which he received on Saturday,
will be appointed Governor of Paris.
The insurgents although conquered are by no means
subdued, and it is not improbable but that they may
attempt to renew the struggle. At present, however,
they confine their attempts to poisoning, and secret
assassinations.
Great emotion was excited on Wednesday at the
corner of the Rue du Temple. The apothecary's shop
at the corner of that street was surrounded by Gardes
Mobile. A soldier of that guard had been taken to the
apothecary's, in the hope of saving him from being poi-
soned. Notice was soon sent to all the chiefs of the
Mobile, to put them on their guard against similar
occurrences.

These attempts to poison the troops have excited the
utmost indignation and horror. Many of the principal
thoroughfares and squares are converted into camps,
where the troops bivouac. The inhabitants frequently
send wine and provisions to those in their immediate
neighbourhood. The late insurgents, who still prowl in
large numbers about the town, and are well supplied
with money, pretend, it is said, to sympathise in the
general gratitude towards the troops who hare delivered
the capital, and offer them wine, which, in some cases,
has been incautiously accepted and found to be poisoned.
Fears are entertained that these atrocious attempts are
not unfrequent.
On the same evening an officer was assassinated in the
court of the Tuileries. The assassin was immediately
arrested and shot. Two of the Gardes Mobiles
were on the same evening assassinated in the
Avenue of Mariguay, in the Champs Ely.!6os, and
four soldiers who had entered a house in the
Faubourg St. Antoine, which had capitulated early i❑
the morning of Tuesday, leaving two of their compa-
nions as sentinels at the door, were found in the house
with their throats cut. The assassins had escaped
through the roof.
The following proclamation was posted in Paris on
Tuesday afternoon :

The representative of the people, Mayor of Paris,
,o the Mayors of the twelve arrondissements:—

" Paris, Juno 27.
" Citizens,—l have this instant received the following
dispatch from the Executive Power:--
" Monsieur le Maire de Paris,—l request you will
immediately re-establish order and free passage through
Paris, and to adopt for this purpose all the measures
which you may judge proper. The same order is ad-
dressed to the Generals who have the military occupa-
tion of Paris.

" The Chief of the Executive Power,
" CAVAIGNAC."
"In consequence of this order, you will give instruc-
tions to the colonels of your legions to withdraw the
consigne, the necessary severity of which had been in•
creased in the execution by a zeal the good intentions of
which at least I am glad to commend. This state of
things must cease this day. The inhabitants of Paris
must be informed that they have perfect liberty in their
relations and their affairs. The state of siege, even if
the Assembly should judge fit to prolong it, has nothing
offensive for any peaceful citizen. I request you to
neglect nothing to enable Paris to resume at once its
usual aspect.

were in possession of the insurgents being destined to
be used in this frightful carnage."
The Memorial de Rouen says, "Yesterday morning,
when the roll of the liberated convicts en surveillance at
Rouen was called over, it was found that 800 were
absent. This is a very significant fact."
The Constitutionnel has the following on the present
state of Paris :—" The combat is over, but the elements
of disorder which the preceding administration had so
imprudently allowed to accumulate have not disappeared.
A rigid surveillance can alone prevent fresh calamities.
The insurrection, though conquered, is still dangerous.
After the fighting in the streets may commence the era
of revenge and.assassination. The Government will be
very guilty towards the noble and heroic population of
Paris, who has so valiantly defended it ; towards the
army, the Garde Mobile, and the Garde Republicaine,
who have shed their purest blood in the cause of order,
if by all their efforts they cannot defeat the designs of
those eternal enemies of society and civilization.
" We have already pointed out the peril to be feared
from the incessantly increasing number of forfats liberes.
Our prognostications have been but too well justified.
They have been seen at work in every quarter of Paris.
The Garde Mobile, those courageous and loyal youth,
have been the victims of the most unheard-of cruelties.
Brave soldiers who have gone as flags of truce have
been cruelly massacred. Pillage and violation have
been organized, and this impious war has everywhere
assumed a character which reminds us of the exploits of
cannibals.
"Is the lesson complete enough ? Will the necessity
be sufficiently understood of removing from Paris those
wretches branded by the hand of justice, and whose only
object is to overthrow social order ?
" We have called on the Prefect of Police to put in
force all the ordonnances relative to lodging-houses.
The events which have occurred prove what assistance
those houses have afforded to the insurgents. They
have there concocted their schemes of conspiracy, and
established their head-quarters during the struggle. The
murderous fire which has decimated the National
Guard and the army came for the most part from those
houses and from the wine shops, and it is in those
haunts that the defenders of order, in their subsequent
search, have found great quantities of arms, and a mass
of incendiary substances.
"It is therefore necessary that establishments of this
kind should be submitted to the strictest examination
and surveillance. The security of Paris demands it, and
the sad results of a long-continued toleration should serve
as a lesson.
"It is indispensable to cause to be returned into the
arsenals of the State all the arms which have been re-
moved from them, and the legitimate use of which is
not clearly shown. It is well known with what deplor-
able facility muskets were distributed after the last revo-
lution of February, for the re-organization of the Na-
tional Guards. Many men had three, and even four
muskets delivered to them. A good address was all that
was necessary to obtain one. The 15th of May showed
us how the assistant police, as they were called, who had
established themselves in the Rue de Rivoli, obtained
arms and ammunition. More than once we have asked
what had become of the barrels of powder given to the
old Garde Republicaine. We now know too well. The
detention of arms and ammunition is punishable
by the penal code. It is for the Government to carry
the law into strict execution.

"Again, the attention of the police has been more
than once called to the signals by means of which the
conspirators communicate with each other. A num-
ber of the inhabitants of Paris have frequently
witnessed lights moving about at night on different
prominent parts of Paris, and on the roofs of houses,
and which have been answered by other similar move-
ments in other quarters. These facts have been
more than once denounced. Nevertheless, on the very
day of eombat those signals still existed, and have
powerfully contributed to the temporary success of
the insurrection. At the moment when the Faubourg
St. Antoine was taken private signals of this
kind were observed to be at work, and only last night.
they were seen from the top of a house in the Rue St.
Honore. Is it necessary for us any longer to insist on
the immediate and prompt attention of the Government
to these facts, and to these guilty marceuvres? We sin-
cerely hope that M. TROUVE CILUTVEL will:adopt ener-
getic measures to protect the interests confided to his
care. The honour of his administration is connected
with it."

The Menden?. du Soir gives an official contradiction
to the report which had been extensively circulated in
Paris, that several of the insurgents had been tried by
court-martial and shot. " These reports," says the
Moniteur, " are entirely false."
The payment of the dividends on the Consolidated
Funds, which became due on the 22d of this month,
commenced on Tuesday, to be continued till the sth July.
An apothecary at the Barriere de Fontainebleau
charged with having manufactured gunpowder for the
insurgents, stabbed himself to the heart when the
National Guards came to arrest him.
During the search made on Wednesday in the Fau-
bourg St. Antoine, the National Guards discovered
thirty-seven armed men concealed in the cellar of the
house No. 200. They had in their possesion 167 loaded
muskets and all the necessary utensils for manufacturing
bullets. They surrendered without resistance.
The accounts from the departments continue favour-
able, and there had been no renewal of the disorders at
Marseilles. M. OLLITIER, the Prefect, who, before his
appointment, was clerk to LEDRU Rommr, is accused of
having encouraged the insurrection.

hearing of unopposed cause petitions, short causes, and
causes petitions, of which there were nearly 140 in his
paper, but none of which were of the least importance,
except to the parties concerned.
(Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
His Honour was occupied the whole morning with
cause petitions.

costs.
STAMPS V. THE BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND
STOUR VALLEY RAILWAY COMPANY.
This case was spoken to this morning, after which the
Court took time to consider its judgment. The case
came before his Honour a short time since upon a mo-
tion to dissolve an injunction granted during
the long vacation of last year. The object of
the injunction was to restrain the Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Railway Company
from " proceeding to construct a tunnel under the plain-
tiff's houses, situate in Paradise-row, Birmingham. so
as to destroy or damage the messuage and premises
thereon, or the foundations thereof, and from doing any
act whereby the messuage and premises might be in-
jured, until the company should have put in their
answer to the bill, or until the further order of the
Court." It appeared that in the original operations of
the company it was proposed to carry a tunnel beneath
the plaintiff's houses, but in such a manner as in no
respect to endanger them. The company accordingly
served the plaintiff simply with the notice calling upon
him to fix a value upon the land through which the line
would pass. The engineers finding, however, that the
surface might possibly be endangered, in consequence of
the blasting of the rock, which formed the substratum of
the plaintiff's foundations, it was deemed advisable to serve
a second notice applicable to the plaintiff's surface rights.
The plaintiff did not attend to this notice until the time
for claiming compensation given by the 18th section of
the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act had expired. The
company, under the powers given by the 85th section of
the Act, proceeded to obtain a valuation of the property,
and entered into the usual bond. They bad also put in
their answer to the bill, and they now sought to dissolve
the injunction, and to have the bill dismissed on pay-
ment of costs. In support of the injunction it was
argued that the Act of the company did not empower
them to interfere, for mere tunnelling purposes, with the
surface rights of the proprietors of lands; that the com-
pany were bound by the first notice, which related
merely to the land which would be removed for the pur-
pose of the tunnel, and that the 85th section restricted the
company to one notice alone; and that if neither of
these points were tenable, the bond was not formal, being
made voidable, in the alternative, upon payment " or'
on deposit of the money in the bank for the benefit of the
party entitled. The Vice-Chancellor, at the conclusion of
the reply of the Solicitor-General the other day, stated
that with respect to the point that a railway company
had given notice of taking a portion of the land of a pro-
prietor had exhausted their powers, and could not by a
further notice acquire a right to take a larger portion of
the same, he should have had no doubt that the com-
pany, acting bond fide, and not capriciously, might
within their powers give a second notice for a larger
quantity of the land which they had originally
been authorised to take ; but the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England, in the case of the Lancaster and
Carlisle Rnilway, appeared to have expressed an
opinion that the company were not empowered to
act upon a second notice, after having proceeded upon
a prior notice. It had been a common occurrence,
that after having taken land for a cutting, on be-
ginning the works it was found that, from the softness
of the earth or other causes, it had been neces-
sary to incline backwards to a further point and thereby
obtain a greater breadth ; and the companies in such
cases had been obliged to proceed a second time under
their powers to take a further portion of land. That
had been done and sanctioned by the Court in the case
of " Webb v. Manchester and Leeds Railway Company."
In this case the company found that they could not con-
struct the tunnel without blasting, and they had deter-
mined to take the surface also. It might be impossible
to complete the railway unless the company were enabled
to act under their powers as the necessity arose. Upon
the other point, whether there was sufficient evidence of
the company having proceeded under the Land Clauses
Consolidation Act to give the bond thereby required,
he would peruse the affidavits and reserve his judg-
ment. Upon these instructions from his Honour
tho case was set down to be spoken to to-
day, when it was contended, on behalf of
that company, that they had complied with all the con-
ditions imposed upon them, and were entitled to have
the injunction dissolved.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR took time to consider his
judgment.

ELLIS V. COWNE.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied to day in this case,
and

His HONOUR deferred giving judgment.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.)
ALBANO V. SIR JAMES DUKE.
This action was brought by the plaintiff, a civil en-
gineer and surveyor, against Sir James Duke, in his
character as a provisional director of the Oxford, Whit-
ney, and Cheltenham Independent Railway Company,
for 3,3211. 15s. 9d., alleged to be due for work and
labour done.

The Court was occupied nearly the whole of yester-
day in hearing the case on either side, and this morning,
when the Court called upon the defendant's counsel to
proceed,

- Mr. MARTIN said, that since yesterday his client, the
defendant, had received a communication from some
other members of the provisional committee, and he was
now prepared, if the other side would consent, to allow
a verdict to be taken for the plaintiff for 500/. In mak-
ing that offer, however, he was not to be understood as
admitting the defendant's liability for the claim urged by
the plaintiff.

After a short consultation between the parties, a ver.
dict was taken by consent for 5001.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
CASH AND OTHERS V. WARING.
This was an action upon a mortgage for 500 L The
mortgage was executed in May 1847, for payment of the
amount in November following. The covenant having
been broken, the plaintiffs adopted the present pro-
oeedings.
The Learned SECONDARY said the deed itself was con-
clusive, for if the defendant had any good grounds to
"liege, ho ought to have pleaded them; but by allowing
judgment to go by default, he could not reduce the
amount below what was stated on the record.
The jury gave a verdict for 500 L, and la 7s. 6d for
interest.
