xot n Bad Idea.-We have heard If

Not a Bad Idea I've have heard it sug-
ges,ed now that Henry Clay has been laid on
the shelf, that he should, like Louis Philippe,
relieve the tcdum of his secIusion, by teach
ing the young idea how to shoot Let us see:
:" The Ashland Academy for sucking polit-
Clans" in which man may be fitted for dis
charging the Office of President in six months !;
Governors and other minor officers turned out
in a proportonateIy shorter time. This would
be invaluable Just now, especially to Gen. Tay-
lor, who might thus be enabled to learn SOME
THING about Government which he aspires
to manage. To be sure the time is short, and
the pupil is rather old, and little bull headed,
but if /" rough" he seems also "ready," to
obey his friends, into whose arms ne has
thrown himself. Never too late TO learn. But
still it does look little strange to see polit-
zeal leader-God wot-commence MS own
A, B, C's, in Governmental science. it beats
i" French without MASTER" and is nearly
equal to Magnetsm-Eh-Friend Argus

FROM EUROPE. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.
REVOLUTfON IN FRANCE. 300 LIVES LOST FLIGHT OF THE KING A Republic Proclaimed.

The news by the Cambria is of thc most important nature From the angry debates which had been carried on by the Chamber of Deputies, brought by the pre- vious arrival, an outbreak was expected, and the news by the Cambria has fully justified that expectation. What effect it will have or the commerce of the world remains yet to be seen.
 Louis Philippe had abdicated the Throne in favor of the Count de Paris, and the Duke de Nemours was proposed as Regent but rejected by the people, who demanded Republican form of Govern ment, and an end of the Monarchy.
 The Deputies opposed republic, but were overpowercd by the people, The troops ofthe line fraternised with the Ma tional Guards. and the National Guards with the People. At the last dates all Paris was in the hands of the National Guards and the People.
 4 procession passed through the street, carrying the Throne out of the Tuilleries, and in triumph, singing the Marseilles Hymn.
 There has been a frightful loss of life, and in many instances troops have refused to act against the people. The number ofkilled is said to be upwards of FIVE HUNDRED, principally in the neighbor- hood ofthe Palace and the Tuilleries.
 It is said that Gen. LEMoNcURE has been either killed or dangerously woun- ded.
 The people have taken possession of the rail ways and torn up the rails on the line to prevent the approach of troops.
 The mob were in possession of the Tuilleries, and have thrown tho furniture out of the windows. srl9T y .JoI
 At the time ofthe departure of the Cum bria, it was thought strong governmen! would be organized, and republic on the model of the U. States was proposed.
 la There was no change in the cotton market; there had been slight advance but not sustained, on account of the pool demand for manufactured goods. 7
 The French news is unconnected The Royal Family were safe at lates dates, but the Revolution was unchecked
 Thiers, Barot and Mole were proposed as Ministers, but rejected by the People and Government placards torn down.
 It now appears that events in Paris have surpassed expectation and even conjecture Not content with overthrowing the Minis try, not satisfied with deposng the King the populace have determined to destro, the MoNARCHIAL SYSTEM AND EsTABLIsl REPUBLIC.
 The Parsian mob and their ultra -libera friends arc intoxicated with success, an, know not what they wish. At one O clock on Tuesday there was certainl, some popular excitement in Paris, bu nothing seriously to alarm the Monarch who had reigned for seventeen years, an, whose troops, to the number of 100, ,OOt surrounded his Palace and guarded hi Capital. At one o'clock on Thursday Louis Philippe, no longer King, wa glad to secure his personal safety by hurried exit from one extremity of the Tu illeries, while an infuriated mob were ell tering at the other. Thus the very eli max of the revolution was attained i, threo days, another ''trois jours,' the rev olution of 1880 repeated, but with nor of the character of l7s0 and I792.
