°lox OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)'
PARIS, TIIIIIISDAY, May 20.
Brief accounts of electoral troubles in the provinces con-
fine to reach DR. There has been a slight political
iemonstration at Marseilles—the only wonder being that
:here has not been an outbreak at this place before. M.
hmbetta, who is standing with great chance of
success for the Ist Paris circumscription, is like-
vise a candidate for Marseilles. Nov, although
,üblic meetings aro no longer allowed, private meetings,
;o which each of the audience receives an invitation to
dinner or ball, may yet be held. M. Gambetta was
?resent at one of these on Wednesday evening, and, on
caving, the guests, strongly reinforced by the street mob,
.ormed themselves into bands and promenaded the
,treets—of course singing the "Marseillaise." Several
arrests were made ; but it does not transpire
;hat the crowd and the authorities came into
3ollision. More serious was the affair in the Aude depart-
nent, which I mentioned yesterday. It appears that
some of the partisans of the rival candidates—MM.
Pereire and Guiraud—met in one of the Limon' com-
munes and indulged in an angry altercation. One of the
Pereireites insulted a Guirandite, whereupon the latter

vplied with a couple of knife stabs. Two individuals
were wounded, one seriously. This is the " riot
Wended with bloodshed," which we were at first led to
suppose was a regular pitched battle. There have been
slight disturbances likewise at Bourges and the Puy-de-
Dome. Both these places are in Central France, and the
Aude is in•the extreme South, so that the excitement
:overs a good deal of ground. But whatever there may
be to come, the riots hitherto have not been
very formidable. Even the official who was so severely
wounded at the Cirque Napoldon affair this day week is
:oming round rapidly.
There can now be no doubtthat these manifestations are
,purposely exaggerated by the authorities. The Aude
tffair, for instance, in which one man was seriously
injured, was represented by a semi-official paper 'to
be a case of rivers of blood and hills of slain.
All Paris was alarmed by the statement of " tumults in
which knives were used, and several mortally wounded."
the affair was really as I have described it.
this exaggeration is not all. The report is
;.nd ustriously spread abroad that numerous French referees
3f London, Brussels, Geneva, and the Hague are holding
themselves in readiness for a revolution. Of course this
is pure fiction, invented to frighten the voters. Neither
the refugees nor anybody else expect a revolution, or the
semi-official print; would not talk about it. This
raising of the revolutionary phantom is not creditable to
the Government ; but it is the old game, and it is very
ingeniously managed. The official papers publish two
iistinct editions. One, destined to meet the eye of Paris,
contains nothing alarmist. But the other, which
is sent off to the provinces, is full of the
wildest and most fantastic legends. It is carefully
iistributed amongst the rustic voters ; and as carefully
kept from the Paris voters, who would like nothing better
than to ridicule it.

It is very strange, but not less true, that, in the midst
,f this election excitement, the rumours of war are
once more beginning to make themselves heard. For a
long time the Paris newspapers have banished all alarmist
reports. The election news was regarded with more
interest ; and, moreover, the rumours would keep.
rho Bulgarian bands, triple alliances, movements of
Ambassadors, and all that good old stock, would do just as
well in June as in May ; and, moreover, they would come
out flesh, and create excitement after a few months' calm.
I fully expected to hear nothing of war preparations until
after next Monday at the earliest ; but I have been
disappointed. The reports have come up again ; and
this time they are founded upon preparations
which, to say the least, have a queer look. A military
commission is about to try experiments with the convey-
ance and rapid disembarkation of horses on the
Eastern railway. Then some other officials have
been busying themselves with the calculation of the
number of trains by clay which will be required to rapidly
transport so many troops to a given spot. There is like-
wise more gossip about the sailing of fleets and the like.
The Bourse has been affected. It would be rash to place
too hasty an interpretation on these reports. They
have been spread abroad scores of times before,
no doubt ; but at the same time there is a war party at
Court who would be only too glad to persuade the
Emperor to engage in strife, with the view of putting off
the evil day when Liberal Eeform will be the unanimous
cry of the nation.

The French ship Bretagne, which sailed from Buenos
Ayres for Bordeaux on March 2G, has been lost with the
captain and several of the crew.
The Emperor and Empress have paid a visit to Queen
Isabella. The 00141013 says that the visitors communi-
cated some good news to the Queen, which gave her great
satisfaction ; but though Paris wonders what this good
news could be, it is very incredulous

• A NAVAL LEAVE-TAKING.

On Sunday, the 2nd instant, after the celebration of
Divine service on board lI.M. receiving ship Hibernia, at
Malta, the officers and crew of the flagship Caledonia
were addressed by Lord Clarence Paget, whose period of
service as Commodore of the Mediterranean Fleet has
expired. His lordship said : "My lads it, is due to
Captain Gardner, Commander Codrington, and your
)fficers generally, that I should state to you my pleasure
at being able to declare that this ship is in the highest
state of discipline and efficiency. To the good example
shown by all the officers of the Caledonia this effect is
due. Two years ago when I joined the ship I
had reason to form great expectations of your conduct,
and these have been fulfilled. I am anxious this
should continue to be so. You are about to be paid off—
to return to your homes—to be dispersed about the world,
but I do entreat you for the short time you are together,
keep up your discipline, preserve that bright character
which you have won. Now we arc about to part. It
cannot be that men who have lived so long together can
separate without some degree of feeling. I cannot shake
hands with everyone of you, but I wish you a very hearty fare-
well. For some time, atleast, I shallbe unemployed ; but my
heart and soul is in the navy, and there is not a man
among you whom I shall not be glad to see, and shake
hands with, should I meet him at home. Now good-bye ;
and I entreat you again, whether on paying off, or on leave
at home, don't forget your discipline or good conduct. See
what it has done for you. You are an example to others ;
foreign Ministers have sent complimentary letters to the
Admiralty at home ; your officers are always coming to
roe with some plan for your benefit, so that by and bye
men will be as well treated as officers. I wish you all suc-
cess—and a hearty farewell."
The Malta Observer says on this subject: "We feel sure
that our readers will join us in asincere and public acknow-
ledgment of the merits of Lord Clarence Paget's very
beneficial and successful naval administration. Lord
Clarence Paget established the naval savings-bank sys-
tem, which has worked with perfect success. Lord
Clarence Paget is the originator of the Contagious
Disease Act '—popularly called at the time of its introduc-
tion, Paget's Outrageous Act'—and which has proved of
such infinite advantage to the health of the services ; so
much so that it is now proposed by members of both
Houses to extend it to the metropolis and all corporate
towns. The next improvement effected, and which to
some extent accounts for the unexampled good conduct
of the different crews, is the establishment of the Royal
Naval Canteen on a respectable and liberal footing, and
which includes a library and reading-rooms, theatre, fives
court, skittle-alley, and other sources of amusement—
to say nothing of the wholesome drinks wherewith to
refresh the inner man. When Jack finds that his
health and comfort are cared for even in this respect,
he avoids being inveigled into vicious and poisonous
haunts that go against his honest grain. Another most
important step in the right direction that has conduced to
the welfare and the brightness and education of the boys
and seamen of the fleet, is the summer cruise taken every
year to the ♦arious ports of foreign countries in the Medi-
terranean. Besides benefiting the health and mind of the
crews by these travels, an excellent opportunity was
afforded to the sailor of obtaining a knowledge of foreign
ports, ships, and the manners, customs, and aptitudes of
different people."

Whi!st the day for the opening of the election bal•
lot in France is rapidly approaching, Paris is agitated by
various tumours of polit:cal changes. It is once more af-
firmed that the Emperor will make an attempt to conciliate
the electors by liberal concessions. It is confidently ex-
pected that a decree will al pear before Sunday announcing
a reduction of the army, a change of Ilinistly, and the end
of personal Government.

It is stated with regard to the threatened strike at
Oldham, that a deputation from the Operative Cotton
Spinners' Association has waited upon the Trades' Council,
and after fully exp',ait,irg haw matters stood, a resolution
was unanimously come to that the president and secretary
of the Trades' Council and the Operatives' Association
should wait upon the masters, with a view of endeavouring.
to settle the matter in an amicable manner.

As many conflicting accounts as to the Bishop of
Salisbury's health have appeared in the newspapers, we
(Globe) are asked to state that the disease from which ho
la..s now been suffering for several months vares much
from week to week ; but at present there is no substantial
change for the better, and it is at present entirely out of
the question that he should resume the duties of his
diocese,

INCREASE OF THE riT77,

PRINCE OP WALES,

The London correspondent of the Western Daily Press
writes:—" A short time ago a general impression prevailed
in the London clubs that Government would this session
make a proposition to the House of Commons for an increase
of the income of the Prince of Weles. The grounds on which
tha proposition, if made, would havo rested, were that the
Prince and Princess were called upon to perform State
duties, and were in consequence compelled to incur large
expenses which their present income would not meet.
Had such a proposition been made, there is no doubt
whatever that it would have bern carried, because few_
members of the House would havo liked to have spoken
in opposition to it. I lelieve, however, there will be no
occasion now for such a vote. I understand that arrange-
ments have been made by which the income of-Altis Royal
Highness will be increased by, from £35;000' to £40,000 a
year without the intervention cf Parli:.ment. These arrang6-
ments have been made by her Il j !sty herself, in considera-
tion of the duties imposed upon the Prince and Princess of
Wales by the state of her Mejes'y's health and the com-
parative raireatent in which 'she is c, mpelted 'Her
Majesty's annuity to his Royal Highness is to date trom the
commencement of the present year."
