PARIS, Oct. 9th 1853.

One Of the projects is waging very
sstifiable war against the drinking houses
If his department. Several he has shut up
ontirely: and others have been ordered t.
shut I'D at certain hours, and not to reopen
before sunrise. The "considerings,' though
emincntly proper, read queerly in the Mon
ikur.
"Considering that these places seduce
| ,aborers from their homes and wives, at hours
when they ought to be reposing from the
fatigues of the day, and recruiting for the
trial Of the morrow;
considering that well disposed, but weak
citizens are tempted to spend their hard earn
n ed money both in strong drink and games Of
1 chance, &c, &c"
For one, should be perfectly willing to
see all drinking houses shut. The Chararari
asked the Government, lately, to suppress
the Bourse. 1t never had been able to dis
cover that that institution did any good, or
was of any use. The last great revolution
abolished the Bastile; perhaps the next will
do away with the Bourse

eulogy of Edward Everett, aud very favor
able notice Of his speeches. In another
column it makes fun Of J. B. Cough, who
seems to be cutting singular figure in Lon
don.
The Courier de fEue communicates to
the world an account Of spontaneous kim
ding, though not combustion, in the person
of mantau maker. This young lady was
sewing one night by the light of candle,
when she felt an undue heat all over her
body. She noticed at the same tine that
her foreiinger was on fire. The flame was
blush, and emitted sulphurous smell.
She plunged her hand into water, wrapped
it in moistened cloths, but the burning still
continued, and spread over her hand. Her
apron caught fire, and she was obliged to
take it off. The flame was only visible in
the dark The girl spent the night in et-
forts to extinguish the blaze, and only sue
ceeded at caybreak The flame, which was
doubtless guilty one, disappeared with
cock-crow. The Pays calls the attention of
men of science to this extraordinary case Of
arson.
