LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

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 Duc de Bordeaux have a chance ! Prince
Louis Napoleon's name begins to be mentioned, and I
have heard one cry of " Vive l'Ecnpereur!" 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 dissolved, 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 jiints 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 nearthe
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
no,,,sible. 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 is full
of English, who are in a very excited state. Railway coin.
munication between Paris and Rouen is much interrupted.
Some fighting had taken place at Rouen, and a bridge
bad 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 be got in readiness.

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

than on Saturday ; the violent fluctuations on that and the pre-
vious induced a great number of the speculators to leave
nothing

been used
this morning, and the extreme prices of Consols have

THE FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.

Yesterday afternoon, the general annual meeting of the
members and friends of this excellent institution was held
at the Asylum, in Myrtle-street. The attendance was as
numerous and respectable as on former similar occasions.
11. Wynch, Esq., presided.
Mr. HARMOOD BANNER, the treasurer and secretary,
read the report. That document set forth that little va-
riety attached itself to the proceedings of charitable in-
stitutions when they were once fully established ; but an
infant society like that in behalf of whichthey hail met. be-
came an object of more anxiety and interest. The insti-
tution had not yet arrived at maturity ; bus it had pro-
gressed rapidly since its commencement in 1840. In 1841,
when it was in Stanhope-street, they had but nineteen
children ; in 1842, 42 ; in 1843, 47 ; in 1844, (when the
present asylum was built,) 60 • in 1845, 73 ; in 1846, 84 ;
in 1847, 100; and at present, (18480 126 orphans. They
were all in health, and very few deaths had occurred since
the opening of the institution. The same system of good

management and econom, and the same teaching- of the
inmates by Miss Davies, (the matron,) and Miss Sandars,
the mistress, had been steadily pursued. They had yet
room for twenty-four children more ; and they bad ad-
mitted sixteen within the last two months. Still, in order
to increase the utility of the institution. they should re-

quire additional funds; and amidst the commercial de-

SUDDEN DEATH
_ _

On Thursday

last, Elizabeth

Bonny. the wife of George Bonny, a moourer residing
in Nash Grove, was passing through Burlington-
street, when she suddenly fell down. Two men, who
happened to be passing, kindly took her to Dr. Hymns's,
who was not at home. They then took her to Mr. La..

by the Liverpool Church Missionary 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 tour
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.

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