The Bureaux of the French Chamber on Thursday were
occupied by the Bill granting 200,9001. to the Mir.siter of the
Interior for the twelfth annual celebration of the July days of
1830. " The last anniversary of the Revolution of 1830,"
states M. Duchatel, in his expose,," was celebrated with eclat.
During the files, recalling so many glorious recollections, the
immense population of Paris again displayed, by its unanimous
joy, and by an admirable spirit of order, how much it was
attached to the Monarchy foundediin 1830, and to the institu-
tions which are developing and strengthening themselves under
the protection of our constitutional royalty. We ask the neces-
sary credit to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the memorable
event which insured the liberty and dignity of France.
The Siecle, the organ of M. Thiers and M. Odilon Barrot,
and the Constitutionnel, the special mouth-piece of the great-
little man himself, contain very angry articles, in reply to ar-
ticles which appeared in the andon journals, noticing the silly
hopes of the French revolutionists to plunge Europe into a
war. The Constitutionnel winds up its diatribe, by the mo-
dest assurance that " the irritation perceptible in the French
journals is quite national, and the rage of the English journals
is sheer nonsense." We agree perfectly that the irritation is
quite national. In fact, it is too national for our taste.
'l'lle Indicateur of Bordeaux says :—" 11. Cabarrus, Presi-
dent of the Committee of wine growers of the canton of Les-
parre (Gironde), has presented to. the Prefect of the Depart-
ment a petition, with 160 signatures, requiring, on account of
the non-sale of their wines, a postponement of the payment of
their duties for 11341, as has already been granted to the wine-
growers of the arrondissement of Bordeaux, and in default of
this accommodation, they offer to give up an adequate portion
of their stock; and thus make payment in kind."
The Semaphore of the loth inst. announces, under date
Toulon, the 16th, that the four• Ships of the line which lately
returned from the Levant, had been ordered to hold them-
selves in readiness to put to sea. This naval division would, it
was believed, be sent to make a demonstration along the coast
of Morocco, while General Iledesu would invade the territory
of the empire at the head of a military force.
Madrid was perfectly tranquil on the 14th inst. The masons
employed in demolishing the convent of San Felipe had re-
sumed their work, and all the others had followed their ex-
ample. The Senate voted on the 14th a project of law, freeing
brandies and liquor from all duty, after the expiration of the
period for which they had been farmed.
P.EII2.3,XAMENTAItit.

—The Spirit Duty (Ireland) Bill was seriously opposed last
night, on the third reading, on the ground that it demoralised
the people. This argument would have had no effect, but it
was ascertained that the Bill would inflict a relative injustice
on the Irish di.tillers, and on that account its further progress
was suspended till Monday.
The Corn-keeping-out. Bill was read a third time, after
a short debate, in which the inequality of the protection afforded
to different species of agricultural produce was forcibly pointed
out by the Marquis of Lansdon ne. The agriculturists have
made no fight, therefore, in the House of Lords. They suffer
Peel to lead them, lake lambs, to the slaughter.
The Merchants and Factors Bill was also read a third time.
Their Lordships got through all their business before seven
o'clock.

The Commons, in the Gaily part of the evening proceeded
with the Income-tax Bill, which stood fora second reading. Mr.
C. fuller moved that it be read a second time in six months.
Sir John Walsh, Mr. )Evart, Sir \V. Clay, Mr. %Val:ley, Mr.
D'lsraeli, and Mr. Christie, addressed the House, bu► a division
was early called, when a great number of the Members bad
paired off for dinnrr, or were absent, and there voted for the
sremid reading 155, against it 76, giving the Tories the re-
spectable majority of 79.
The Muse was to have proceeded with the Ordnance
estinsites, but Captain Buldero -being absent, not expecting
such an early division, the House took up the Railways 1.111,
and discussed that in Committee. • It sat till a Quarter-fast
Ono o'Clock.
