LATEST FROM PARIS.

During the whole of Sunday no one was permitted to
pass through the streets of Paris. No windows are allowed
to be opened, and no person is allowed to stand at them.
A report is current that the insurgents are in possession of
the Halle aux Vine, and have poisoned the wines, in order
to destroy the troops and the guards.

PARIS, SUNDAY, 5 P.M.
The delay allowed the insurgents in the Faubou' g St, Antoine
to surrender having expired without any reply, the operations
immediately commenced. The first barricade was vigorously
attacked and carried, but not without considerable slaughter
on the side of the assailants. Colonel Baynaud, of the 48th re-
giment of the line, and several other officers, were killed. Ge-
neral Boquet, of the Engineers, arrived at the Place de la Bas-
tille at twelve, with the firemen and sappers. Some houses were
blown up, and several barricades thus turned were captured
without loss. On some points the insurgents had dug trenches,
against which the artillery was unavailable. They fired from
within, and, on the approach of the troops, escaped through
passages opened in the cellars of the houses. A large body sal-
lied from the suburb towards noon, entered St. Louis, and
formed a barricade of the Pont des Tournelle, which was being
repaired. They were there kept in check by troops stationed in
the wine stores on the opposite side, and were actually placed
within two fires. The enclosure of St. Lazare was re-occupied
in the morning by the insurgents, who carried away ten small
pieces of artillery belonging to the Chateau Rouge, which they
loaded with stones and pieces of broken bottles. On the Quay
de la Megisserie some ruffians fired from a window on a batta-
lion of troops of the line, and escaped by a back door in the
street. Others were, at the same time, erecting a barricade
close by, in the Rue de Bethizy ; but a patrol of National
Guards dispersed them, and they fled, throwing their arms in
the streets. A battery of artillery had been placed on the hill
of Montmarte, and measures were adopted to prevent the in-
surgents from gaining possession of that important position.
On the south side of the river the insurrection was completely
quelled.
The insurrection loses ground on the north side.
M. Flocon announced that Paris is abundantly supplied with
provisions. _ _

At two o'clock it was announced that a resolution had been
taken by General Cavaignac to bombard Montmartre. Several
places in the Clos St. Lazare and its environs were set on fire
by the insurgents.
At one o'clock firing was taking place in the Rue St. Denis;
at the passage du Grand Corf shots were fired from the windows
of the houses.

The President of the National Assembly, at its sittingto-day,
announced that the left bank of the Seine was completely in
the hands of the military, but it was afterwards stated the island
of St. Louis was in the hands of the insurgents. It is said to
have been ascertained that the number already killed is up-
wards of 6,000 persons.
M. Lagrange attempted to go to the insurgents, for the pur-
pose, as he said, of inducing them to lay down their arms, but
the National Guards refused to allow him to pass. The office
of the Minister of Commerce has been searched by the authori-
ties. and 30,000 francs in gold removed.
firing is going on without intermission, and they are un-
tlermining the Clos St. Lazerre, with the intention of blowing
it up.

The sitting of the Asssembly was resumed at half-past three,
when, a member ascending the tribune to give an account of
fresh successes on the part of the National Guard, M. Duclerc
rose to condemn the too congTatulatory expressions of the
speaker, saying that on both sides the fighting had been carried
on with but top much obstinacy and courage.
An explosion of cries of " Order " and " Vive la Garde
Nationale."

M. Duclerc then said he only meant to express his deep re-
gret for the effusion of blood. _ _

M. de Larochejacquelin supplicated the members to give an
open denial to the words attributed to them,--" Malheur aux
vaincus." These words were followed by a scene of extra-
ordinary tumult in the Chamber, and M. de Larochejacquelin
was obliged to leave the tribune.

Du-coux said that he was the bearer of most satisfactory
news. A great number of insurgents had acknowledged their
error, and laid down their arms. It was no longer possible for
them to hold the barricades, for the engineers had now cut a
way from house to house, so that the barricades fell into their
hands with facility. Several barricades had accordingly fallen,
and there could be no doubt that the affair was rapidly ap-
proaching an end.
Some sharp words ensued in the passages, M. Luneau ad-
dressing reproaches to M. Louis Blanc. M. Raynal, who was
one of the foremost in reproving the words of M. de Laroche-
Jacquelin, was about to come to blows with one of his col-
leagues, when the would-be combatants were quickly separa-
ted, and the sitting was adjourned, de facto, until five o'clock.
At that hour it was again resumed.

Jane 27, 184 g.

I M. Senard read a letter from M. Marrast, announcing the
I recapture of the mairie of the 2nd arrondissement and the
streets surrounding it. The insurrectionists had mane a com-
plete citadel of the quarter, established communications, and
put mattresses behind the windows. The troops and Gurrde
Mobile had to lay siege to every house between the Hotel do
Villeand Rue St. Antoine. Their losses were immense. Columns
were then marching towards the Place des Vosges, tore-capture
the municipality of the eighth arrondissement. The great bar-
ricade which had stopped the troops since noon had been cap-
tured, and the troops were in possession of the bridge of Da-
mietta. The Fabourg du Temple and the Marais were then the
'only places the power of the insurgents.
It is positively asserted, that Count de Nnne, former
aide-de-camp of Charles X., and his servant, arrested behind a
barricade in the act of distributing money to the revolters, had
both been shot in the gardens of the Luxembourg, by the
country National Guards. Forty-four other prisoners were said
to have been put to death on the Palace de Grene.
The old Municipal Guards have been called to Paris. A
great number of them were assembled round the Assembly,
anxious to join in the fight.
Bills due between the 23rd andthe2Sth are prorogued for five
days.

BOULOGNE, llioNnikv, 4 30 A. 55.
The train has just arrived. Th►e struggle was still going on
in Paris at seven last night, and the roar of cannon continued
in those quarters to which the insurgents were confined.
Troops are in full march from all the departments. The Calais
National Guard have left for the capital.

GENERAL TRADE REPORT,

Monday Night.
The serious results of the French revolution, although
long delayed, are at length overwhelming its concocters
with confusion ; the terrible cry for bread or death, which
the patriotism of starving thousands has withheld for a
time, has resounded through the streets of Paris. The
downfal of the organism of monarchy has not realized the
golden dreams of communist philosophy ; it has not fed
the people : in fact, as we augured some time back, the
bubble has burst ; and after an immense sacrifice of human
life, Paris at this moment presents an aspect which those
only who have seen a Parisian mob rampant in its fury
can imagine. Our various public securities have receded
in consequence, and Consols closed on Saturday at 83.
Trade however, has generally gone on much as usual.
The SHARE Market was each day quoting lower prices,
when the news from .Paris on Saturday produced quite a
panic, and prices were quoted lower on that day than at
any time since the wild days of 1844. It has, however,
somewhat rallied to-day, but is still very depressed. Lon-
don stock was, on Saturday, 115, from a rumour that the
line wanted repairs to cost a million ; but this having been
contradicted by Mr. Creed, it has to-day been done at
118, and closes buyers at this. The destruction of the
mob at Paris is considered rather a favourable event (for
prices in this market) than otherwise. The depressing
influence now is the certainty of the movement of the
terrible army of Russia southward.

Since the Brokers' Circular was published there has
been a good demand for sugar, and better prices have
been obtained. The sales are 2,500 bags Bengal, and
150 hhds. Demerara. Rum and molasses very quiet. A
fair business has been done in Bengal rice; 3,000 bags
fetched Ss. 6d. for small broken, to 9s. 6d. for middle.
White coffee continues very fiat; 309 bags native Ceylon
reached 30s. per cwt., and 60 t *ces Jamaica sold at
irregular prices.—The following summary of the past
week's transactions in the London colonial markets we
give on the authority of The Times:—
.. _

" In the colonial markets this week attention has-
been entirely absorbed by the Ministerial proposition for
the West Indies. At the commencement, until Lord
John Russell's intentions were made known, the impor-
ters of all descriptions felt little inclination to enter into
negotiations, but at the same time the buyers were equally
indisposed to increase their stocks during the prevailing
uncertainty. Hence the business of the week has been
small, and principally confined to the last day or two.
The effect of the contemplated alteration on the market
has been to raise the price of British about Is. per cwt. ;
while a few parcels of foreign have been realized by the
importers, who complain bitterly of the measure, at a
similar decline. The British plantation market has
closed with considerable firmness."

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, ac-
cording to the last returns, exclusive of duty,- was--
from the British possessions in America, 255. 81d. per
cwt. ; from the Mauritius, 265. 6d. ; from the East
Tndies, 225. 101 d.—By the last accounts from Havannall,
prices, free on board, were 13s. 4d. per cwt.
Our CORN market is extremely inactive and feeble in
every branch of the trade, and prices generally are rather
lower. In fact, the weather lately has been almost un-
precedently propitious, and we may attribute every change
in the market for some time to come to atmospheric vari-
ations. With respect to the Irish and provincial markets,
however, although all kinds of spring corn are somewhat
depressed, and the turn lower, Wheat and Flour generally
are a little on the advance. Some few arrivals of Indian
Corn and Meal have got into Cork and Limerick this week,
which, notwithstanding there is still a fair demand for these
articles, has a tendency rather to reduce their value than
otherwise, and the market is a little lower.

During the latter part of last week, and even up to noon
of to-day, we hada decidedly improving COTTON market ;
but the Parisian intelligence coming down so very alarm-
ing in its features, caused a general gloom and depression,
and some sales were made under pressure at low prices-
The arrivals are coming in freely, so that holders are
willing sellers, and fully 6,000 bales have been sold W-41:
The attendance of buyers at our WooL sales last /leen
was very numerous, but in consequence of the week
sales commencing the day after ours had closed (at whim
it is expected 15,000 bales colonial will be offered,)
together with the distressed state of trade, the colonials
sold heavily at a reduction of fully ld. per lb. on the last
May sales in London. A great portion of the East India
was withdrawn in consequence of the buyers not coming
up to the limit ; those that were sold were at prices rather
lower than former sales. The other low wools being
descriptions not in reauest, were almost all withdrawn.
Imports for the week :—Foreign, from Oporto, 17, West
Coast, 4,906, Bombay 707, prviously, 34,919. Scotch,
226; previously 5,147.
There is still a fair demand for SILK by the trade, but
the supply of both Raw and Thrown Silk from France and
Italy has a tendency to depress the market, and former
prices are with difficulty supported. In China Silk Pill;
Goods we have no alteration to make in prices, tbuub
the demand is very limited.
The Scotch Pig IRON market has been rather firmer
during the week, holders not being disposed to accept
present rates. Prices may be quoted at 435. 6d. free on
board at Glasgow for mixed numbers, and 445. 6d. for Ne•
1 Gartsherrie.

The quantity of AMERICAN Beef on the market, owing
to the paucity of arrivals, may be brought into a veil
narrow compass ; there is but little offering under 87s. 6d.
and owing to the scarcity, anything of a higher quantiti
is held in considerable requisition. The demand for pork
continues languid, and the trade are buyers only to the
extent of present exigencies ; our quotations will shod
that our stock is very various in quality ; really finer
however, is held high in estimation, sales having been
made at 70s. a favourite brand. The sale of bacon has
declined. Hams, in dry salt, are still in good request ;
and shoulders have sold at an improvement, a large par-
cel having been disposed of by auction at 275. Lard meets
a languid sale, at reduced prices ; and although little WO
brought forward on Tuesday, it was more than purchasers
were willing to clear off. A small parcel of cheese re-
ceived since our last, of ordinary quality was sold by
auction last Tuesday at 395. to 40s.

The IRISH Butter Market cannot recover from the
depressed position which we have reported for some weeks
past, and on Saturday holders generally were panic-struck'
having vainly offered a reduction of from ss. to 6s. per
cwt. from the rates of this day week. Bacon still sells
slowly, on account of the quantity of American throW'
on the market at low rates. Hams slightly in request►
and lard dull. The arrivals for the week ending this dell
are :—Butter, 6681 firkins, 1905 crocks ; Bacon, 124
bales ; Hams, 9 hhds. ; Lard, 50 firkins, 20 kegs.
Letters from Hamburgh state that the suspension of
of W. G. Arnamann and Son, of Altona, is to the amouni'
of £140,000, and that this event has brought down the
banking firm of M. Robinow and Sons, at Hamburgh•
Money still continued abundant at from 2 to 24 per cent•

MR. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE'S PLAN FOR REGIILI"
TING THE SUGAR DUTIES.—The plan propounded by
Mr. Robertson Gladstone, for the regulation of the
sugar duties, which many persons consider likely to work
well for the West Indian interest, without imposing any
burden upon the British consumer, is a liberal modifica-
tion of a suggestion made to the Colonial-office by Sir
Charles Grey, the Governor of Jamaica, in his dispatch
dated the 21st February last, and received in London on
the 27th March. The suggestion of the Governor is not
even alluded to in any of the subsequent dispatches sent
from the Colonial-office ; it may, therefore, be reasonably
inferred from this circumstance that the more liberal sag'
gestion of Mr. Gladstone is not likely to be viewed with
any much greater amount of attention. Sir Charles Or"
suggestion, in his own words, is, " that the duties o,
of
British muscovado should be brought towards the Unlit,
id. per pound, and those on foreign to 2d. ; liable
special relaxations in favour of such foreign states as
should bind themselves by treaty to give a similar melt;
sure of justice to their labourers as we give to off'et
Mr. Gladstone's plan is, "to impose a duty of Id. PA
pound on all free-labour sugar, and 11d. per pound on_a7
slave-grown sugar ; and in twelve months or two
as may be deemed necessary, subject to an official no"e,
cation to the Government of this country that any slay...
growing country had emancipated their -labourel
and forbidden, by legal enactment, the irnportatioe
slaves, the produce of such country shall be tele
witted at the reduced rates." It will thus be ssir
that, substantially, the only difference between itity
Charles Grey and Mr. Gladstone is as to the " r,
to be imposed upon slave-grown sugar, the o°veni
nor recommending 2d., whilst the merchant rel/eot
mends 11d. ; Mr. Gladstone's plan being, to that el ..--
at least, the more favourable to the British consume,
Albion.—[We believe that the plan suggested by is
Gladstone was shown to several of our leading mere
three or four months since.]
