by the Liverpool Church Missionary Building Society,
for which about £13,000 have been subscribed, though
the society resolved originally to collect, if possible,
£20,000 for the erection of four churches for the four
new districts in Liverpool, for which the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners have provided an endowment of £l5O per
annum, respectively. £2,000 was contributed by the
society towards St. Simon's Church. A third will soon
be commenced for Bevington district, and we hope
sincerely that funds will promptly be provided for a
fourth church, in Vauxhall district, which requires one
as much, or more, than any other, as the extraordinary
statistics furnished by Dr. Hume abundantly testify.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(BY EXPRESS.)

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

The young men in the Military University of Paris, to
the number of 600, have joined the provisional govern-
ment.

Paris, Saturday Night.

_ -
The excitement continues but has taken a more favoura-
ble turn. The measures of the Provisional Government
are producing vast excitement. This morning the red
riband was universal. The tricolour of the first revolution
has replaced it. The Communists were said to intend
attacking the Government. They are now stated to have
" adhered" to it, but maintaining a watching attitude.
The chalking on the walls " Plus des Bourbons" has
given place to " Plus de Royaute." The Union
Monarchique (newspaper) has dropped the second word
of its title. All " Royal arms," or other emblems of
Royalty, have been taken down or defaced. Still there
are people who take it into their heads that the Count
de Paris or the Due de Bordeaux have a chance ! Prince
Louis Napoleon's name begins to be mentioned, and I
have heard one cry of " Vive l'Empereur !" 20.000 of
the very finest young men of Paris were enrolled this day
as National Guards mobiles. Their appearance was
truly inspirating. They have passed through the city
singing the Marseillaise. Regiments of the line are
arriving in Paris to replace those which had disbanded.
The Chamber of Peers has been abolished by a pro-
clamation, and the Chamber of Deputies diss6lved, the
republic being declared complete, and the people advised
to hold their hostile attitudes till the establishment of
their rights and the re-election of the Chamber of
Deputies. For the purpose of the election of the cham-
ber, all citizens who have attained their majority are de-
clared electors ; and also considered to be enrolled as
National Guards.

A curious accident happened on Friday. The toll-
house of the " Pont Louis Philippe " having been set on
fire, about one o'clock, the flames caught the joints where
the chains of the bridge are connected with the wood-
work, they gave way, and the platform was precipitated
into the Seine. The shock was tremendous, and several
passengers who were crossing the bridge at the fatal mo-
ment were submerged and finished.

The dreadful catastrophe which took place near the
Hotel of Foreign Affairs resulted in the death of 52 in-
dividuals.

The Commerce announces that all the departments are
" following the sublime movement at Paris." Rouen,
especially, has joined the revolution heart and soul, and
3000 inhabitants of that city and Havre, with a copious
supply of arms and provisions, arrived in the capital on
Friday morning by the Rouen railway, and took an active
part in the melee.

SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 28.
Orders were received from the Admiralty last night to
send all available steamers to the French ports as soon as
Possible. The Monarch and Iberia have just left for
Havre and Cherbourg, and the Hindostan, of 1800 tons,
will soon follow. The Saumarez arrived at eight a.m.,
with 86 passengers, amongst whom is Lafitte. Havre isfull
of English, who are in a very excited state. Railway com-
munication between Paris and Rouen is much interrupted.
Some fighting had taken place at Rouen, and a bridge
had been destroyed. The English are flying from Paris
to the outports in great consternation : they are much
interrupted in doing so. More steamers will be dispatched
as soon as they can begot in readiness. 1

I have just heard that the Duchess of Montpensier is
among the passengers in the Saumarez.
