TIE 2BJGH or THE MODEM MouxrAIursrs.-
Any ONE who has read the account Of the proseed-
Tags of the celebrated Rsvolatisnary Csnv tion in
France, where Marat, and Dantsn, and Robespierre
reigned supreme, may see a perfect fac simle Of
| those scenes, any night that the present Common
Council meet in joint ballot The Grondists of the
French Revolution were the conservatives; the
Mountainists and Robespierre party were the loco
focos Of that day. and the locofoeos of New York, at
the present time evidently striving to rival the
Mountainists in their riotous proceedings
In the progress ofthe French Revolution, whenever
Danton, or Marat, or Robespierre had a motion to
make, their locofoco friends filled the galleries. and
passed all their resolutions unanimously. As it
then so 1t is now, at the joint ballot meetings in the
City Hall, with this difference, that the Mountainists
oil New York are not so well dressed as Danton's
friends were. Here is the last new style:-

In addition to this, we will give them the follow
ing rules for behavior, as recommended by some Of
their leaders,
!. BE sure to keep your hat on during all delibera-
tons OF the common council
II any wing attempts to speak, make such noise
that he cannot be heard.
II you any one with decent coat on, spit
upon it.
If any whg speaks so as to be heard, and says any
thing YOU dislike, hiss him.
If any of the locofoco Aldermen make motion,
bawl out, capital," ''aye," 'passed," and pass it
unanimously.
Rush into the tea-reom, steal some brandy and
carry it up to the Council Room and pass it round
amongst your friends, and ask the Aldermen take
drink when you have done with it. Mrs. Skellhorn
will find the hot water. IL Skellhorn grumbles
knock him down.
Mount up into the window seats and if the room
IS too hot poke your elbows through the glass.
Keep calling "sience," so loud, that the decisions
of the chair cannot be heard
Make it a point to wear no shirt in the Common
Council chamber.
Crowd inside the bar and lean over the Aldermsn's
chairs; and squirt tobacco juice over their desks.
Threaten to fog them if they dent give you all an
office.
In short, do as you like, and don't care d-n for
any body.
These are few Of the rules for the regulation Of
the modern Mountainists tonight at the Common
Council room. I hese rules were adopted by the To-
cofoees on Monday night and fully acted upon and
party. Precisely the same scenes being enacted
here that preceded the riots and nassacres of the
French revolution, and we confidently expect to
see the same results follow the same prelmina-
rIes.
WEDDING AT BRooKLYN.-l must call your atten-
our own little city of Brooklyn, which came off on
Tuesday night. We beat you, here, for we have two
weddings to your one in New York. About halt
past seven, the carriages were rolling through
Sand street, and looked more like lively funeral,
than a wedding party, as they obliged TO pro-
coed in rotation, the street being rather narrow
At few minutes past eight, the bridal party eutered
the room, and took their station at the head, when
the Rev. Mr.. s. proceeded to ito that knot,
which, If we may judge from the time he took,
man under heaven would try to sever; but perhaps
he thought the young couple required little more
advice than he usually bostows-on the other hand,
perhaps he thought the elegant fee he received,
qured it. The groom, MIR. NJ, looked much
composed as if he was going to set down and eat
sweetly interesting. The bridesmaids, Misses
W and L, looked remarkably well. The
brides sister, Miss W, the pretty young daugh-
ter of the hostess, looked and sang most enehant-
ingly. The Misses P, from the city Of New
York, looked very we'll think it improves the APP
pearance Of your city ladies very much to the
river, as the little excitement gives them beautiful
color. Then there was little Doctor, with specta-
cles, and younger brother Of hi, iwho fourished
largely.
After the wedding, and when the divine had left
then commenced the time and such another time,
old Sand street never saw before. Every one tried
TO see who coad make the most amusement. They
separated al morning, " when daylight did appear"
The happy couple left yesterday (Wednesday)
morning, In the six o'clock boat for Trenton. What
a time they viii have!
