Marshal sonlt-1adr oounoiIlors, Be.

Paris, Aug. 24.-[Extract from the correspond

has been running in the canton Of ST. Amans for
the Office of municipal councillor. He was beaten
by shoemaker In little town in the arrondise
ment of Hazebrouck two ladies have have bean
chosen councillors they took an active interest in
the elections in reward for which the voters chose
them instead of the candidates in whose behalf they
were exerting themselves, ON the ground they man
Tested a greater devotion to the welfare Of the
place.
NJ Charles Dupin has just communicated to the
Institute the results of an interesting study on
which he has been engaged for some time. Tbs
question was, ''In what proportion the average
length of life had increased in France, since
ITO 20 or in other words, "What has been the
increase of comfort and the means of living among
the people ?" He finds that the increase through
the whole period has averaged sixty days year.
In ITO, the average duration of life 2S4 years in
1845, it is 49, years This shows that after all So
ciey has on the whole been steadily improving, and
whatever happens this year or the next, must con-
tinue to improve.
The tailors Of Paris are moving towards the for
nation of an association which shall embrace them
all, with 4 large central workshop and salesrooms
and as many branches as may be necessary in the
different parts of the city They propose to give
fixed interest to capital and regular rate Of wages
to the workmen, and divide the profits over and
above between the two parties.

So MUCH FOR BUCKINGHAM THE London
Times Iashes most severely the folly and extrava-
gance of the bankrupt Duke of Buckingham, who,
after wasting the almost regal revenue of his house
in wild speculations and vicious indulgence, has
been obliged to permit all his unentailed property
to be advertised for sale by auction, and that too,
without hope of its realizing moiety of the sum
necessary to cancel his obligations. The Times
says -
g This is a most deplorable, and we must now
add, most disgraceful event. These columns have
spared neither people nor prince. Should we deal
fairly if we spared the destroyer OF his house, the
man whose reckless course has thrown to the
ground a pillar of the state, and struck heavy
blow at the whole order to which he belongs The
public opinion of this country respects the House OF
Lords, but not degenerate aristocracy. 1t Is apt
to canvass and TO censure noble names, because It
measures their i'll deeds with their great response
bility The Duke of Buckingham has filled all
minds with the painful presage Of wider ruin
Such events speak in these days. When dynasties
are falling around and aristocraces have crumbled
into dust, disgrace acquires the force of injury, and
personal ruin is public treason. For an event of
peace, we have known nothing more serious and
| lamentabe. In the midst of fertile lands and an
industrious people; in the heart OF country where
it is thought vrtuous to work. to save, and to thrlves
a man OF the highest rank, and of a property not
unequal TO his title, has flung all away by extrava-
gance and folly and reduced his honers to the tin
| sci of pauper, and the baubles Of a fool"
