ces which have just occurred must have led to
much bloodshed. Our Stocks are falling, and.
at the present %juncture, must be looked upon as
as a bad omen.
Yesterday we had disturbances at Paris. |

A mob collected round the door, now two days
since, broke the windows OF this Carlist, who
got into a passion with history as well as with the
ballad singer; aud cried "Vive la Liberte,"-
.sDown with the Carllsts." This was on Mon
day!
Well, of course. the soldiers were sent for,
the guards arrived, a tumuIt began; but Light
came and all dispersed.-Yesterday the mob
revisited the spot! The Carlist had got coura-
geous in the night, aud when the mob assembled,
he fired two pistols from the counter, and vowed
he would shoot the first man dead who approached
his premises. The multitude now became exas-
perated; the door was soon forced-the furniture
was thrown from the windows-the whole was
burnt, and the Carlist was conveyed to prison in
a coach for having fired on the people aud excited
disturbances.
Last night ten thousand persons were collect
ed. Guards and troops of the line were employ
ed to clear the streets-no one was allowed TO
PASS without name and address in that direction,
and up to midnight there were scenes OF riot and
anarchy. Now let me explain this. The pub
lie mind is greatly irritated: public opinion IS III
a most agitated state. 1t seizes hold OF tribes
and magnifies them into troubles; and this attack
of the Carlist jeweller on the hundred days OF
Napoleon, in the person OF a ballad singer, which
at another time would have been treated with ST.
lcnce or contempt was now magnihed into q de-
liberate attack on the memory Of Napoleon, and
on the revolution of July. This ought to instruct
our Governors, if facts can give counsel, and ex-
~perience enlighten.

ARRIVAL OF THE EX-EMPEROR AND
EMPRESS OF BRAZIL.
Don Pedro and his Ex-Empress arrived at Cher
bourg on the 10th of June. The following arti-

Don Pedro.-The following letter was r%ecciv-
ed in Glasgow, on Sunday night, from an officer
of the Voltage:
''His Majes,y's ship Foliage, off Falmouth,
18th JUNE, 1891.
"My last was addressed to you when living of
Rio. but we were afterwards ordered home with
Don Pedro, the sometime Emperor of Brazil
the Empress aud suite. Ever since the last re-
%volution in France, the people of Brazil have
been IN the habit of holding meetings, called the
Liberals of Rio, where was discussed the right of
Don Pedro to the throne; and, in a word, treason
and the expulsion of the Emperor formed the Or
der Of the day. Immediately after the arrival Of
Donna Maria and her followers, the native Bra
zilians absurdly entertained the delusion that the
new corners, with Don Pedro. were about to re-
coionIZe the empire. 10 counterfeit TINS Supp0S'

already limited at, the plotters prevailed upon the
Emperor TO dismiss all foreigners from his service.
This was agreed to, and the next thing was the
encouragement of a most scurrilous press; the
number of newspapers increased every day. till
in all there were not less than twenty-seven daily
papers, each calling the Emperor the most horrid
names you can possibly imagine. Meantime the
Emperor was in the provinces Of the mines, and
on his return on the 18th March, upwards of
$4,000 was laid out upon FIREWORKS, SC. In
the midst Of all this joy and illumination, which
is carried on with a neyer-ending cry of Viva,
Viva! some Portuguese cried out long live Don
Pedro w., Pedro the Nv. of Portugal, and l.
of Brazil and down with republicans the Bra
zilians shouting Viva! the Brave BraxiIians, Lii
berty, &c. forever. Thus stood the parties upon
the 18th March, each with Wat tyler at its
head, and missiles of the most disgusting nature,
we're used OH both sides. some were severely
burnt, and one or two killed. Night after night
the most horrid murders were committed in the
streets, and the police took no notice of the per-
petrators. Business was at an end. The press
teamed with ireason-the government anne.rod
