DebaTithinks that -the appy terming

affair is due in a great measure to the wise and liberal pre-
cautions which were taken by the Minister of the Interior.
A display of force would have irritated the people, and
the complete absence of troops would have been an error,
but the juste milieu was attained by the dexterous com-
tivances of the authorities. The combined firmness and
moderation that the Government have exhibited must call
for acknowledgment in all quarters.

The part which Mr. Louis Noir took is also much cora.
mended. He availed himself of his position to influence
the crowd in the right direction, and to implore them not
to give way to sentiments of revenge.
The Jcurnal des Dads, in commenting on the sight
which the streets of Paris presented yesterday, declared
that a stranger might have believed himself in London,
where the English lower classes never forget the respect
which is due to the law, however agitated they may be by
political passions. It considers the quiet demeanour of
the crowd to have been one of the most characteristic
elements of the affair.

The deputies met yesterday at one o'clock in their
bureau, in order to name the commission which is to in-
quire into the possibility of prosecuting Henri Rochefort
by the public prosecutor.
The Moniteire haS given the teat of the letter which was
written by the Prince immediately after the murder. Ho
says: " Two journalists of the 3 faiseillai se have been here
to provoke me. One of them struck me and the other

threatened me with his pistol. I fired, and I think that
I killed one of them. I sent at once for some stivents-dc-
ville and a commissary of police."
The general editor of the Novvelliste de Rouen vas inter-
rogated yesterday by the Imperial-Procurator, for having
republished an article from the Ofarseillai,.e, signed
" Rochefort," which neccessitated a seizure and led to

prosecution.
M. d'Orus,the President of the Chamber of Accusation ( f
the High Court of Justice, commenced yesterday to inter-
rogate Prince Pierre Bonaparte at the Conciergerie.
The Patrie says that in his examination Prince Pierre
Bonaparte related the facts with the greatest precision and
tranquillity ; and in concluding expressed the deepest regret

for the movement of passion to which he had abandoned
himself, and the sanguinary consequences resulting from
it. " I had been grievously insulted," added he, " and be-.
sides, I did no more than defend my life, which was
seriously menaced." On the other hand, M. de Fonvielle,
in presence of the magistrate, was so violent and excited
that DI. Bernier did not think it right to confront him.
with the prisoner.

FIR 3 AT S7OCKIVELL-THIS DAY.

This morning Captain Shaw reported four fires
as being the total number that had occurred during
the previous 24 hours ; they were, however, with
one exception, of a trifling character.
One of the fires, which was attended with a con-
siderable loss of property, happened in the private
residence of Mr. E. Panter, No. 1, Bow-cottages,
Willington-road, Stockwell. It was caused by a
spark flying out of the fire and falling upon some
linen, ignited it, and before the inmates became
Lware of the occurrence the room was on fire
from end to end. An attempt was then made
aith the aid of buckets of water to get
the flames under, but owing to leaving the dcor
open the fire extended fearfully, and it was deemed
advisable to send for the engines. In a very short
time the engines from several stations attended.
The firemen, under the direction of Mr. Ilawlyet
the chief officer of the district, and the London
Salvage Corps, under Mr. Superintendent Swanton,
went to work, but in spite of theirexerutniotnus
the
conflagration could not be extinguished
