We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
At the sitting of the Committee on the revision of
the Constitutionol. DE MONTALEBIRERT proposed that
all the members should enter into an engagement not
to divulge anything that took place at their delibera-
tions. M. CHARRAS declared that he could not accede
to any such course, and M. BILE added that he should
also oppose the proposition. As it was evident that
the majority, even if the proposition were carried,
could not restrain the members of the minority to ob-
serve secresy, the motion was not persisted in. A
member proposed that the minutes of the sittings of
the Committee which drew up the Constitution
should be laid upon the table, in order to allow
the Committee on the revision to judge
of the views of their predecessors. M.
BALE strongly opposed that course, declaring
that, as questor, he could not take on himself to per-
mit such important documents to quit the archives of
the
to
the Assembly. It would be highly improper, he con-
ceived, to make public the real opinions of the framers
of

h
drawn. General CAVAIGNAC proposed that the peti-
ahe i
n motion
e by was
them, and then
reported
tions should be divided amongst all the members of
the
exTm
on as each might think fit. M. BERRYER observed
that such a mode of proceeding could not lead to a
conscientious and satisfactory
examination.
It was
then decided to form a subcommittee to examine the
different petitions, as we have already stated.
The Duke DE BROGLIE, although he has consented
to accept the office of President of the Committee on
the revision, has intimated that he will not undertake
to draw up the report. He is, it is said, • •
intriKuina
with the Legitimatists.
M. CHARLES HUGO has been condemned by the
Court of Assizes of the Seine to six months' impri-
sonment, and a fine of 500 francs, for having written
the following article on capital punishment :
TILE EXECUTION OF MONTCISA.RMONT.
" Four days ago, in an open square of a French town,
and in the face of day and of civilization, the law, that
is to say, the divine and sacred force of society, laid hold
of a wretched man, who plunged and kicked, and having
bound him neck and heels, dragged him by the hair of
the head to the scaffold, already bleeding from his lace-
rated skin. Four days ago, before a population in pro-
found consternation, the law, for an hour together,
wrestled with crime. What had this man done against
society? He had killed. What was society doing to
this man? Why, making him a martyr. Partisans of
capital punishment, what was your object in bringing
this wretched assassin to the guillotine? To show ap-
parently to all, human justice in its force and power—to
raise in the minds of the masses the sentiment of right, by
calling on them to assist at the punishment of a vile crea-
ture—to accomplish, in fact, a solemn, imposing, and qir.
rible act. What have you done? You have committed a
violent, horrible, and regretable act; instead of enlisting
the crowd to the side of the law, you have almost made
them, ranged them, on the side of the sufferer! This
man, who had a little before been an object of horror,
you change into an object of pity. You employ two,
then four, then I know not how many, to kill this man,
who struggled against being put to death. The first
executioner failed, then you call a second; at length,
after half a day of toil and efforts, you succeed in
putting an ed to him, and you wipe off the blood from
your knife, and the sweat from your brow. No! you
have not been imposing—you have not been solemn—no,
you have not been terrible. Be it well done or ill done,
an execution is never a good sight for society to behold.
Whatever be the band which commits it, a homicide is
never moral teaching. However honest and conscien-
tious may be your tribunals and your judges, it will
never be by killing that you will prove ' thou must not
kill.' Modern society has condemned the law clic talion;
to practise it is the reverse of progress; it is to take
from society, from justice, and from te magistracy
a portion of their proper consideration. Each
time you effect a public execution :you cause the law to
descend in national respect in an inverse ratio to the
height of your scaffold. If you will preserve your bar-
barous penalty of death do as they do in Ameries,—do
not show but hide yourselves? Do not invite all France,
the whole press, all eyes to see you, and all hearts to
judge you, whenyou are executing, and particularly when
your executioners do not know their trade, and your
guillotines are as badly made as your laws. For our
parts we feel profoundly afflicted and even alarmed for
all those dear and sacred interests on which public tran-
quillity reposes. We protest, and will ever protest,
against those spectacles of another age, when society,
forgetting the Gospel, drags a wretched human being to
a horrible death, holding up to his eyes on the way an
image of Christ which he does not look at.
" CHARLES HUGO."

SUMMER CIRCUITS OF THE
JUDGES.
THE OXFORD CIRCUIT.
Yesterday the Hon. Mr. Justice Erie and the Hon.
Mr. Baron Martin, the judges appointed to proceed and
hold the general assize of oyer and terminer in and for
the several counties comprised within this circuit, ap-
pointed the following days and places for holding such
assize—viz , for
Berkshire—Monday, July 14, at Abingdon.
Oxfordshire—Wednesday, July 16, at Oxford.
Worcestershire—Saturday, July 19, at the Guildhall,
Worcester.
City of Worcester—The same day, at the same place.
Staffordshire—Thursday, July 24, at the Castle at
Stafford.
Shropshire—Thursday, July 31, at Shrewsbury.
Herefordshire—Saturday, August 2, at Hereford.
Monmouthshire—Wednesday, August 6, at Mon-
mouth.

G loucestershire—Saturday, August 9, at the Guild-
hall of Gloucester.

City of Gloucester—The 'same day. at the same place.
The days on the Home, Norfolk, Northern, Western,
Midland, and North and tiouth Wales Circuits, have not
yet been finally arranged.

Certainly the country is not to be envied, the rulers
of which could consider such an article worthy of
prosecution, or the judges of which could condemn it.
We hope we shall hear no more allusions to '93 and
the Reign of Terror from the reactionaries,
since it is evident that the guillotine is
now taken under the especial protection of
the great party of order that it is, in fact,
one of " the Institutions," like the PRESIDENT or the
Assembly, which it is no more permitted to attack
than either of the other great conservators of " order."

The report of M. CARLIER, produced by M.
FORCADE on his trial, denouncing the Society of the
10th December, and General D'HAUTPOUL for calum-
niating General CHANGARNIER, has produced a consi-
derable sensation. This report was presented to the
PRESIDENT some ten months since, at the very time
that the Ministry were denying the truth of the
statements made in the Assembly, which were identical
with those made in this report. It is considered that
M. CARLIER will be obliged to go out of office.
The Assad)lee Nationale says— . . .

" We two days back received intelligence that, on the
26th ult., the Duchess of Parma, sister of the Count of
Chambord, and H.R.H. the Duke d'Aumale were seen
sitting together in the royal box at the Fondo Theatre
at Naples. Letters just received from that city leave
no doubt of the fact, and further show that the Duchess
of Parma and the Duke d'Aumale are on the moat
friendly terms."
The Journal du Iluert: says :—" By the French
war-steamer Milan, which arrived at St. Thomas just
as the English West India mail-steamer was starting,
we have received accounts of a serious nature from
Guadeloupe. According to the report of the Captain
of the Milan, which left Guadaloupe on the 17th ult.,
that colony had been visited by another earthquake
which bad caused considerable damage. The shocks
had followed each other in rapid succession for twenty-
four hcurs, and still continued at the departure of the
Milan. The inhabitants were in great alarm. The
town of Point-a-Pitre in particular suffered consider-
ably. Some shocks had also been felt at Martinique
and Montserrat."
The improvement in the price of public securities re-
marked at the Bourse on Wednesday made further pro-
gress. The Five per Cents. opened at 91f. 85c., andr closed
at 91f. 95e.; the Three per Cents. closed at oaf. 21c.;
