COMMON LODGING HOUSES.—An Act of Parlia-
ment took effect from Thursday last, when it received the
Royal assent, for the well ordering of common lodging
houses. The preamble declares that it would tend greatly to
the comfort and welfare of many of her Majesty's subjects if
provision were made for the well ordering of common lodg-
ing houses. Within the metropolitan police district the
Commissioners will execute the Act, and local authorities in
other places. Notice is to be given within three months to
all common lodging-house keepers to register the places, and
a register is to be kept of the number of lodgers authorised
to be received therein. After one month of giving such no-
tice, lodgers are not to be received in any common lodging-
house until the same has been inspected and approved for
that purpose by some officer appointed on that behalf by the
local authority, and been registered. Regulations may be
made for such places. Keepers of, common lodging-houses
are to give notice of fever, &c., and they are at all times to
be open to free inspection, and when required to have the
place cleansed. Penalties are to be recovered for offending
against the Act. The new law has operation throughout
the United Kingdom, with the exception of Scotland and the
city of London.

TEIE FRENCH REPUBLIC•

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Constitutionnel publishes an article by Dr.
VERON, in which that gentleman states that the
articles which appeared in that journal in 1848 in
favour of the candidature of Louts NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE were all dictated by M. TRIERS. After
a fierce denunciation of M. TRIERS' Machiavelism,
Dr. VERON proceeds to expose, as follows, the in.
trigue in which M. TRIERS is at present engaged ;
after stating that M. TRIERS has entered into a
coalition with the African Generals, Dr. VERON

I:African Generals and M. Thiers do not yet dream

but the following is the plan of cam-
paign concerted amongst them. Their reason for voting,
without explanations, against the re-eligibility of Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte is, that they have a new candidate
for the Presidency of the Republic. This candidate is
the Prince de Joinville. If our information be correct,

obtain lt
is
well k
a decisive majority, but he would diminish the num-
ber of votes which M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte
might obtain. They imagine that if they can be
fortunate enough to divide the moderate party in
the election of the President of the Republic, the present
National Assembly, when called on to decide on the
votes more or less unconstitutional, might proclaim the
Prince de Joinville President of the Republic. If all
these plans cannot be accomplished, they will at least
have weakened the re-elected President of the Republic;
and they would hope thus to restrain the devotedness of
certain parties anti shackle the Government of the Re.
'public. Every one will judge as to what patriotism
there is in such designs. M. Thiers, during the dura-
tion of the Ministry of the 29th October, sought to every
day weaken more and more King Louis Philippe, in order
to keep him under; he sought to shackle the progress
of the Government. M. Thiers was Prime Minister for
a few hours, and the revolution of February was effected.
In the space of less than twenty years M. Thiers has
already caused two revolutions in France, in which two
monarchies have perished; and he endeavours now to
bring about a third, in which society and civilization will
certainly be destroyed. This false disciple of Machiavel
only knows how to cause division, in order to reign, and
he never reigns."

The discovery of this Orleanist intrigue has caused
a rapproachernent between the Legitimatists and the
Bonapartists, in proof of which we find the following
in the Pattie:—
" The members of the bureaux of the two Par-
liamentary clubs of the Rue de Pyramides and
the Rue de Rivoli have just comp to an under-
standing to maintain the union of the majority in the
two ballots which are to take place to-morrow. It was
first agreed to maintain in the bureau all the members
which there represent the different shades of the ma-
jority. The following list was afterwards decided on to
compose the Permanent Committee:—MlL de Bar,
Sauvaire-Barthelemy, Bernardi, Berryer, Bucher, Boin-
villiers, Ce3iile, Changarnier, H. Didier, Druet-Des-
vaux, Dufougerais, Gouin, Grouchy, Hubert ,Delisle, de
Kermarec, de La Tourette, de Montebello, de Montigny,
de Mortemart, de Mouchy, Poujoulat, d'Olivier, Passy,
Rulhieres, and Vitet. An engagement was come to on
both sides to scrupulously respect the choice agreed
upon between the representatives of the two clubs, and
who are, in f sot, of a nature to secure the tranquillity of
the country, in giving satisfaction not only to the just
exigencies of the parties, but also to the susceptibilities
of the dissident fractions of the old majority."
In the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday the
Bill to continue the present legislation relative to
theatrical representations until December 31st,
1852, was adopted after a short and not very in-
teresting discussion, M. JOLT speaking against the
Bill, and M. FR.EMY, the reporter, defending it. M.
PASCAL DUPBAT then proposed to the Assembly to
place the discussion of M. BAZE'S proposition con-
cerning the sale of journals in the streets, mil tlfe
order of the day, but the motion was pegatived by .a
large majority. The rest of the day was taker} .up
with the consideration of various propesitions to mo-
dify the part of the Sugar Duties Bill lately adoptpd
which relates to duties on spirits made from the
sugar-cane, or from beet-root. al AL.
The affair of M. LEMULIER against t Prefect of
Police, M. FORCADE, and M. VIRMAITAE, came on
again on Wednesday before the Civil Tribunal.
After the pleading of M. PLOtQUE for M. VIRMAITRE,
thbAskocat-GSneral addressei the Tribunal. le
called upon it to dismiss the cEmplaint as regards 31.
CARLIER, as the publication complained of was not
his own act, but the result of a breach of trust on the
part of M. YORCAIDE, and concluded by calling for
damages against Dd. FORCADE and M. VIRMAITRE.
After this requisitory the President adjourned the
affair to Friday for the judgment.
M. Du FAURE read yesterday to the Committee the
part of his report which related to the railway from
Lyons to Avignon. It proposes, as already stated, to
treat with the Talabot Company on the conditions of
the cahier des charges of the Minister of Public
Works, with two modifications accepted by the com-
pany, one requiring that a sum of three millions of
francs should have been deposited as caution-money,
and the other that the works should be completed in
four years in place of five years and a half, as stipu-
lated in the Bill.
During a violent thunder-storm the day before yes-
terday, at Creteil, near Paris, the rain fell in such
torrents that the inhabitants were obliged to close up
their houses, in order to protect themselves from the
floods. After the storm had passed over a farmer,
named GSILLOT, went to a stable where he had two
horses shut up, when he found that one of them had
been killed by the lightning.
The Journal de la Niivre says :—" We were far
from having been aware of the full extent of the
disasters caused by the late hurricane, when we
spoke of it two days back. The prefect, who at
once visited the communes which were devastated,
is described as having been much shocked at what
he saw, and he immediately issued a proclamation
calling on the public to get up a subscription in aid
of those who have been left destitute. lie himself,
the Bishop, the Receiver-General, and the Engineer-
in-Chief, subscribed 200 f. each. Amongst the
scenes described to U 3 are those which took place at
Asnan. A number of the inhabitants were there in
instant
a fields getting in the harvest, when in an
a mass of clouds collected over them, and, almost
before they could run for shelter, they found them-
selves enveloped in a sort of whirlwind of large
which prevented their seeing, and bruised their
bodies most severely. The wind then rose to a
perfect hurricane, and several persons were flung by
it to the ground with violence. Everyone endea-
voured to find shelter under a range of lofty chest-
nut-trees which grew near, but the impetuosity of
the wind became such that nothing could resist it,
and the largest trees were torn up by the roots. An
elderly man, who had seated himself in the hollow of
a gigantic tree, was suddenly dashed to the ground
under the immense trunk, and killed by its weight,
his wife and children standing near under another
tree, addunable to assist him. Not far off another
tree was torn up by the roots, and flung down on a
woman who was standing under it with her child
in her arms. By good fortune she fell in a hollow
of the ground, and so was saved. It, however, took
upwards of an hour's work to extricate her. The
child did not receive even a scratch. We have been
informed that the church of Montenoison has been
completely destroyed, and that two children were
killed in that commune by the whirlwind. Just as
we are going to press, ,we learn that the Minister of
Commerce has sent, as a first assitance, a sum of
6,0001., and the Minister of the Interior I,ooof.

The railway from Kreuz to Bromberg has just

auguration.
The German Gazette, under date of Vienna 26th,
says :--,, We hear that the affair of the loan Was
yesterday decided on in the Council of Ministers.
It is thought that the delay in the departure of the

about the court do not know when he will
