PARIS, Friday, December ).

ny Telegraph from London 10 Liverpool.
PARIS, Friday, December 5.
The decree Of the President appeared
to-day ordering the voting, which is to take
place on the Goth instant, to be secret in.
stead Of public.
There are rumors of continued fightinp
to-day in various quarters of the suburbs
but they arc not relied upon.
The latest published accounts from the
Provinces arc generally favorable to the
President.
The movements Of the troops arc rapid,
silent and firm.
During Thursday many barricades
were thrown up in various parts Of Paris.
AT one o'clock whilst body of five thou
sand was passing along the Bouleyards, Sc
veral shots were fired from the nlighbor-
ing passages and houses. The fire was re
turned by the troops, and the combat con-
linued with spirit about half an hour.
Further down the Boulcvards cannon and
muSkets were freely employed until o'clock,
when the fighting in that quarter ceased,
but was continued with vigor in other Sec
lions. No definite particulars have been
published, and little is known beyond the
fact that conflict has taken place, and per-
sons engaged OH either side have been killed
or wounded.
LONDON, Friday Evcning.--The latest
accounts received from Paris, represent that
the troops are successful at all points. Sew
eral hundred French refugees left London
on Thursday, for Paris.
The French Government had the entire
control of the telegraph lines, and had stop
ped the transmission of all mes sages.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Herald and Chronicle, state that General
Cantillon, at Lyons, and General Erymer,
had declared against the President; but this is
denied; doubts are also entertained of Gen.

Life in Washington .

We make the following extract from a
private letter, received few days since,
from an old friend, now a resident of Wash
ington City, and who is well known to most
of our readers. We have his promise to
hear from him often--
n 81 close by giving you short
index Of Washington Life, as itshows itself
on Washington Avenuc--a living panorama.
The eye is used for speech; and is readily
understood by both sexes. The ladies, may
APPLY be compared to the ''lilies Of the field
spoken of in Scripture: ''thcy toll not, nei-
thcr do they spin, yet Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one Of these. y
Silks, satins, &c., Of the richest and most
snowy kinds are worn; and all the wilcs of
curls and smiles are put on to attract the
stranger. He is happy man who can pass
them unscathed, and whose soul is not set
on flame by their seductive gaze.
The popular churches and public assem-
blies present the same display and the same
allurements, more cautiously expressed; and
a man, who is at all vcrsed in such matters,
may easily guess when his company would
be acceptable. Yet there is much uncalcu-
lating virtue here, and many pious heart,
who has an eye single to thegood of society
and the glory of God.
Sunday Schools abound, and there is a
Church for every square or two. On the
whole, Washingtonis pleasant place, with
ample streets and public grounds, and amuse.
mcnts to suit the varied tastes of citizens
and strangers. The lectures Of the Smith.
sonian Institution during the winter, and its
extensive library, are among the delights OF
the inquisitive. The galleries of the Halls
Of Congress- have been too much crowded
for comfort or instruction. But when the
Capitol is enlarged, which work is now il
progress, the sessions of the Representa-.
tives of the people from all sections of the
country, will no doubt be largely attended. ,

The Daily Nail.

What are our citizens doing on the sub
icct of the daily mail, and the rcmonstrance
against changing the terminus ofthe Hannibal
route from this place to Boonvilc !? The daily
mail will not come of itself, and without the
remonstrances are actively pushed, the
Brunswickers will succeed. They go TO
work right, when they want to effect an
object, and push it ahead.
1t looks a little farcical to talk about
daily mail, when we can't even get a tri-
weekly: but if the contract was changed to
daily service, although we might not re-
ceive our mails daily, we would then be sure
of tri-weekly, excepting Christmas, very
muddy, very dry, very wet, very hot or very
cold times. We would that

SAFETY OF RAILRoADs.-The Vermont
Legislature, at its recent session, passed an
act designed TO protect the lives of travel
crs Oh railroads. It forbids the employment
of conductors, engineers, brakemen, or
switchmcn "who shall make use of intoX-
icating liquors as beverage" and the en-
ployment of such person, withthc knowl-
edge of the President, Superintendent, or
any of the Directors, exposes the Company
to prosecution, to the fine of $500 to g.
900, besides being liable for all damages
that may result. The same act contains a
stringent provision against one train run
ming upon the time Of another.

Mr.. BoYp AS SpEAKER.-The following
paragraph is from the last letter of the
Washington CORES pondent of the PhiIadel-
phia North Americana:
Somehow or other, Mr.. Boyd has made a
bad beginningas Speaker, and verified the
predictions Of those opponents in his own
ranks who denounced him for Disqualified
ton. He lacks qualities which are most ne
ccssary in Speakcr-perccption and de-
c;sion. If things are managed in the future
as they were conducted yesterday, when two
members We're allowed 10 make speeches
on a motion entirely out of order, the session
will be inevitable protracted a month by the
delay in ordinary business. But let us hope
for Improvement. Last year, when Mr..
Boyd presided over the Committee of the
Whole, these impcrlectioes were quite man
ifcst to the House. He is greatly harrasscd
about the selection of committees, and par
ticularly in regard to individuals who have
heretofore occupied responsible and import
ant positions. In this dilemmG he deserves
sympathy and charity, ana shall receive it,
as far as 7 am concerned. All manner Of
intrigues are at work to produce particular
results, and the lobby members-of some Of
whom shall have something to say by and
by-are moving every infuenccto have their
personal objects advanced by the appoint
mcnt Of particular persans. 1t is only fair
to rescrqe opinion on such matters until Mr..
BOYD has acted.

OSLYA TRIFLE.-"That's right" said
to my friend Simpkins, the baker, as sick
ly looking widow Of Harry Watkins went out
Of his shop door with loaf of bread which
he had given her; that's right, Simpkins,
am glad you are helping the POOR creature,
for she has a hard time of it since Harry
died and her own health failed her.
Hard enough, sir; hard enough; and am
glad to help her, though what l give her
don't cost much only a fr0e!"
How often does she Gomez"
"Only three times a week. told her to
come oftener if she needed TO, but she says
three loaves are aplenty for her and her
little one, with what she gets by sewing"
And have you any more such customers,
Simpkins?"
Only two or three, sir"
Only two or three; why it must be quite
tax upon your prifts?"
% no, not SO much as you suppose; al
together it amounts to only u trjfc"
l could not but smile as my friend repea-
ted these words, but after left him fell to
thinking how much good he is doing with
''oaIy a trfc." He supplies three or four
families with the bread they cat from day to
day; and though the actual cost for year
shows but small sum in dollars and cents,
the benefit conferred is by no means a small
one. A siXpcnce to man who has plenty
10 cat and drink, and wherewithal 10 be
clothed" is nothing, but something to one
on the verge of starvation. And we know
not how much good we are doing when we
give "only a tJie" to good object.

MADAME KossrTn--The New York
Herald says that Madame Kossuth is more
like a Magyar than her distinguished hus-
band. She is rather smaller than he is,
in proportion, but of stronger frame. She
appears to be about the same age. She is
a brunette with good complexion, and fine,
dark, lustrous eyes. Good sense is tho
prevailing idea suggested by her counten-
anee. Modcsty. and quietnoss are also there.
She is plain and transformations in her
dress, reserved in her manner, and looks
like a matron worthy to be the vito of Kos
suth.

The irregularity of the mails is the uni
versal theme of newspapers at this time.
We surely have right TO complain, and
that loudly. We have had but one eastern
mail since our last issue. Our latest st.
Louis date is of the Odd instant OF course,
we know but little more of what is going
on in Congress, or transpiring in the coun-
try generally, than the inhabitants of Salt
Lake. We live in hope, however, that be-
fore the year is out, times will improve, and
and we shall have daily mail promised us,
which will ensure us at least one or two
mails week.

lYsURREcTIoN IN SIcILY.-Thc latest
dates from Palermo furnish an account OF
an attempted instruction in Sicily, by the
Baron we and other noblemen, with view
TO proclaim the independence Of Sicily, and
compel the King to abiicate in favor Of his
son Francis. A portion Of the inhabitants
of Palermo declared in favor of the pro-
ject, and the l2th regiment fraternizcd with
them; but by the prompt energy of the au-
thorilies, the movement was checked and
several arrests had been made, including
some of the officers of the l2lh regiment.
BY the Gibralter steamer of the 18Th
ult., we have later advices from Smyrna via
Malta. The French fleet had bombarded
Robbat and Sala for eight hours, causing
great destruction of life and property; the
French also suffered some slight injury from
the return fire Of the castle at Robbat-
1t is also reported that the French fleet had
proceeded to Tangiers for the purpose of
bombGrding that place. The British ship-oi
war James had been dispatched to Tangi-
ers to protect the interests of the British
subjects there.

The preparations were effected with con-
summate skill and secrecy: every thing was
consummated before the Assembly had the
least idea of the Presidents Intentions
An entire new ministry has been formed.
At daylight on Tuesday morning, the Pre-.
sident's proclamation had been distributed
throughout the city, in which he ordered the
the dispersion of the Assembly, and The
restoration of universal suffrage; also pro-
posing new system of government in ia
vor of the election by the people and army

supported by Council of State, and by two
Houses of Legislature--pending the cleo
ton, the executive power TO remain in tn,
hands of the President. The election vii
take place during the present month, and tn,
President promises TO bow to the will
of the people; he says he has been for
ced into his present attitude. II is certain
that Theirs, Changarnier and others of hi
opponents, had decided to demand his ar
rest and Imprisonment on the secon,
instant, and were almost in the act o
moving i'll the matter, when they and thei
principal friends were arrested and con
veycd to Nincennes. Wherever members
of the Assembly have attempted to nee
officially, they have been ordered to dis
perse, and if refusing to do so, have bee,
arrested. Two hundred members had beer
arrested, but all the leaders of the oppo
sition are in prison. Three hundred of til,
members of the Assembly had given in thci
adhesion to the President; and tclegraphic
dispatches from the departments, state tina
the Presidents demonstration had been hail
ed with the utmost enthusiasm, these re-
ports, however, were subsequently contra
dicted.
| Several barricades had been erected il
different quarters of Paris, but were speed
lily broken up by the troops. At one O
these, two members of the Assembly occu
pied prominent places, and were killed il
the conflict.
On Tuesday, section of the Assembly
contrivcd to meet and decided upon the de-
position of the President, and on his i'm
parchment for high treason. The meeting
was dispersed by the troops and the decree
