The return of the Democratic candidates is con-
sidered certain, and is attributable to the desire of
the great majority of even the really moderate party
to mark their disapprobation of the intrigues of the
parti-pretre.
There was a slight disturbance on the Place de la
Bastille on the nights of Sunday and Monday.
The following is the account given of it in the
journals :
"An immense crowd assembled yesterday on the
Place do la Bastille. Among them were from 1,000 to
1,500 men en blouses: some of them, who appeared to be
Socialist lealers, announced that numerous deputations
would arrive in the course of the day from the environs
of Pari,,, to place funeral wreaths upon the column. On
Sunday, some soldiers who had been drinking at the
Barriers with Socia'iats, were induced to accompany
the latter to the colu.no, and, to place wreaths upon
it. A rumour was spread that these soldiers had
come as delegates from the regiments of the garrison,
and that yesterday the manifestation would be re-
peated. It appears. however, that on the return
to their barracks their conduct was disapproved of by
most of their comrades, and the officers were informed
that it had nct been authorised. The Putrie of yester-
day evening states that the soldiers who went to the
column were tnusterered by an editor of one cf the IJ,:-
mocratic S.,cialist journals, and that he was aided by a
sergeant v.hose term of service is about to expire, and
who was seduced from his duty by a promise of employ-
ment in the office of the journal in question. In the
course of the afternoon of yesterday the following noti-
fica,ion was issued by the prefect of police, and a brigade
of sergons de ville was sent to insure its execution :
Tho authorities have caused to be respected the
homage paid to the memory of the dead interred beneath
the column of the Bastille, but for the last fete days
some manifestations have assumed a character threaten-
ing to public tranquillity, and an order has been given
to put a stop to them. Emblems of a seditious kind,
or which are contrary to the regulations of the policei
which may be placed at the foot of that monument, wil
be removed.'

It appears that the persons assembled dispersed
quietly when called on to do so by the authorities.
There were rumours circulated on Monday that a
serious misunderstanding had arisenbetween CANLIER,
the Prefect of Police, and M. FERDINAND BARROT,
the Home Minister, on account of the dismissal by
the latter of M. Roan, the officer through whose in-
discretion in removing the immortelles from the
Column of July the troubles of which the Place de la
Bastille has been the scene originated. M. Cdtar.iaa,
it appears, is supported by General CIIANGARNIEIL,
whose object is to court a collision with the people,
which may place himself at the head of a Dictator-
ship—an object which the conduct of M. HOGE was
well calculated to attain. On the subject of this a'-
leged difference the Moniteur du Soir and the .Pain's
say—

Several journals have announced with a corte'n
degree of satisfaction that a serious roisunderstaudii g
has arisen between the Minister of the Interior and tl e
Prefect cf the Police. We are authorised to deck. e
that not only does no misunderstanding now exist, bt t
that there has never existed anything of the kind."
The Assembly was yesterday engaged in the dis-
cussion of the motion fir the third reading of the
Education Bill.

EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE
AT IIOUNSLOW.
ADDITIONAL. PA RTICUL ARS.
TUESDAY EYENING.—The explosion which OC •
curred at Messrs. Curtis and Harvey's gunpowder-
mills at Hounslow, reported in this journal of yes-
terday, has been attended with the loss of eight lives,
and a far greater destruction of property than was at
first expected. Yesterday (Tuesday) morning, Mr.
Curtis, one of the proprietors, and Mr. Ashby, the
manager of the works, instituted a most searching
inquiry, for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible,
by what means the disaster occurred, the result of
which showed that the first explosion took place in a
timber building, about
,!wenty feet square, termed
" the treble dust-house. This building contained
powder of threefold strength, and at the time
of the explosion two men named Robert Gla-
zier and Lincoln Strange were therein. From
the fact of both these parties having been
killed instantaneously, it is extremely difficult to tell
what was the cause of the misfortune. One thing,
however, is quite certain—that no fires or lights of
any description were ever allowed to be used in that
portion of the works. The men were also strictly
prohibited from wearing their boots or shoes in the
place, lest that the friction caused by the grit ad-
hering to them should cause the powder to become
ignited and explode.
The two poor fellows who were in this building
were forced completely through the roof, and their
bodies frightfully mutilated ; portions of limbs and
pieces of flesh were sent flying in sundry directions;
in fact, the whole of their remains had not been found
at a late hour in the afternoon.
In the cooperage at the time of the calamity there
were about 20 men at work. The heavy pieces of
timber and portions of the machinery as they were
hurled about fell upon the roof, and having broken
it in, the materials fell amongst the coopers, and it
was only by getting under some shelves that many of
them escaped from being crushed to death.
A man named Underwood, who works in what is
technically called the " black business," ran out upon
hearing the thiid explosion, followed by another man
named John Compton. The former escaped without
receiving any injury; but, whilst the latter was run-
ning away his clothes took fire, and he was most
fearfully burned, so much so that it ii questionable
whether he will recover. A mate of his, named
Thomas Penfold, who was following, was completely
dashed to atoms, and, even at five o'clock in the after-
noon, the whole of his remains were not found. Some
portions of his body were found during the day near
the river Collie.

William Buress, employed in the corning house—
let a wife, but no family.
Tromas Penfold, employed in the same compart •
ment—left a widow and five children.
Junes Bookemaster, engaged in the same building
—left a wife and one child.
Lincoln Strange, employed in the treble dust-
house—single.
George Goddard, a corning-house man—left a wife
and one child.
Robert Glazier, a treble dust-house man—left a
wife near her confinement and five children.
Joseph Perry employed in the corning-house—left
a wife and one Child.
William Pierce, corning-house man—single. This
poor fellow was removed to Sr. George's Hospital,
where he died at eleven o'clock on Monday night.
