icas mahing dreadful hauoc IN Paris. The
.tollo~img abstract IS taken from the Boston
Courier:
The Reform Bill was brought up for its
second reading in the House of Lords on
the 9TH. Alter long ard spirited debate
the question was again adjourned. The
Duke OF Wellington made strong speech
against 1t, in the course of which he said
that at no period during the reign of Louis
XVIII and Charles X, did it require more
than from 500 10 1000 men to keep the
peace Of Palis but since the revolution
there has not been II month in the course of
which $4,000 men in arms have not been
necessary foi the same purpose. Lord
Peterborough also spoke against the bill.
The Morning Chronicle speaks doub;ingly
rs to the result, hut thinks it may pass by
small majority. The Duke of Buckingham
has given notice that he shall move for
bill, in case Lord Grey's should he rejected,
as he trusts it will, for giving two represen-
tatives in Parliament to those large towns,
which, by their opuence and commercial
Importance, were entitled to he represent
ed, although at present they were not rep
resented. Ascend object of the bill would
be 10 conjoin and consolidate certain bor-
oughS, each Of which now returned Two
members to Parliament so as 10 return two
members for the consolidated boroughs the
purpose Of this being to prevent the incon-
venience of an addition to the present num-
hers of the House of Commons by the intro.
duction of members for places not before
represented. And third provision of the
bill would be to extend the elective fran
chlse to persons not now entitled to vote, so
as TO prevent the abuse of the elective fran
chse in boIoughs.
Private correspondence from Bologna,
April 8, says, all the Papal troops have in
vested Ancona, in the first line, at the dis
lance of 3 or 4 leagues, and will he sup
ported in the second line by the Austrians.
This has excited great enthusiasm in Rom
agna. The inhabitants of Ancena have
protested that they will not part with the
French. There are 10000 Austrians ut
Milan, and 1886 mn had passed through
Faenza, on their way to Ancona. 1t is
very generally believed that the oper-
atlons will commence on the 3lst. The
Papai troops who occupy the most advanc
ed posts, are to summon the French, in the
Pope's name, to evacuate the fortress if
they refuse, the Papal troops will attack,
after claiming the assistance of the Aus
trians, who will thus appear only as auxil-
iaries of the Pope.
A plot for delivering the citadel Of Ant
werp into the hands Of the Belgians has
been discovered and frustrated.
The last alvices Fl ON Corfu state that q
civil war had commenced between the con-
tending parties in Greece.
Negotiations are said to be on foot at
Constantlnople for restoring Algiers to the
Porte. Tie report of the Grand Sultan's
intention to make war upon the Pacha Of
Egypt is confirmed.
The king of Portugal has signed decree
ordering companies of militia and artillery
to be organized on the whole sea-coast of the
kingdom, to assist in the defence of the bat
terles.

Ely, IL cases and deaths on the 9th
Glasgow on the 9TH, ii new cases and 9

Great Britain 99l9; total number Of deaths

The Cholera seems to be making fright
ful progress in France, and has become a
formidable pestilence in the capital. It's
attacks there are not confined to the loicer
classes. M. Casmir Perier, the President
Of the Council, and some others of distinc-
ton, had been attacked. On the 9TH of
April the deaths were 2S7, new cases III.
Whole number of cases 3077; deaths 1899.
A great number Of the Deputies had quit
ted Paris. On the proposition of the Keep
er Of the Seals, the King had pardoned
about 200 condemned criminals. Several
soldiers had recovered of the ChOlera.-
The administration redoubles its efforts for
the establishment and proper arrangement
OF hospitals for the sick, and places of re-
ception for those recovering from attacks of
the disease. The subscriptions increase,
having amounted in one day to $4,000
francs.
DREADFUL HURRICANE IN INDIA.
Extract from private letter, dated Nov.
10, from the neighborhood of Balasore: 81
can think Of nothing but the hurricane which
occurred here on the last day of October
such "A calamity have never heard or read
of; at least 10000 persons in my jursdlc-
ton were drowned, and fear the accounts
will show double that number, including
childing women. The high road from Ma
tlras to Calcutta runs through Balasote,
about six miles north of this, and where it is
in direct line nine miles from the coast,
the sea crossed it, carrying with it every
living thing in that space. in that direction.
AT lenst $50 square miles were inundated
from 10 TO Is feet deep.
The sea came up to Balasore, and to the
northward also the inundation was little less.
The deck and part Of n vessel are on the
road. Where the sea crossed it on the west
side, and where its progress was checked
by the road on the east side, are lying, all
dead and heaped together, men, tigers, buff
falos, cows, &c. have sent out hundreds
of people to burn and bury, but if it does
not breed pestllence we shall be lucky it
is not easy to dispose Of bodies covering
miles,"
The Bengal Hurkaru, after describing
the total destruction of The crops in the
above district, states. that on the night Of
the 9Th of Nov, 1000 maunds Of grain had
been despatched for the use of the famis!l-
ing survivors of the dreadful food.
