s,ua,n,,. Emeute IN Paris.

PARIS, Thursday Evening, April 10
Some emotion has been produced in that part
of Paris known as the Quarter Latin, by SORT
Of outbreak which took place 10 the Irish
Ecclesiastical Seminary. in the Rue de
disturbance followed, or was ocea-ioned by
the expulsion by the Superior of the College
OF two Of the Professors. with whom he bad
been on no friendly terms for some time
previous. The professors received letter
announcing their dismissal en- returning to
the college after short absence and the por.
ter, who was charged With the commission,
received orders not to admit them within the
gate. They managed, however, to gain &C.
cess to their rooms by wall in the rear
which divides the grounds Of the buildings
from the garden Of private house 10 the
neighborhood. As they refused to comply
with the order of the Superior, whose sole
authority to expel them they disputed, the
police were sent to the spot by order OF the
Minister Of Public Instruction. 1t was then
the agitation commenced; and the students,
about 10 OF 80 in humber, on being Informed
of what had occurred, resolted, and insisted
that the professors should not be elected from
the house. The Commissary or police and
an employee from the Office of the Minister
Of Public destruction were called upon t.
enforce the order of expulsion. 1t vas said
that in the scuffls at the gate one OF the pre-
fessurs was roughly handled by the servants,
who, the students sllege, have incurred eccles-
siastical censure for having laid hands on
priest, both professors being in holy orders.
The agitation was renewed 90 the follow
ing day, aud the Archbishop of Paris had to
proceed in person to restore calm. An ap-
peal was made to the Minister OF the Interior
and the Cardinal Archbishop; and commun'-
cations addressed by the students AID pro-
fessors 70 the board Of Catholic bishops 10
Ireland, in whom the supreme spiritual au'
thority is vested. In the meantime COLL
mission has been named to examine into the
organization of the college, and Investigate
the causes that have led TO these disorders.-
The com mission meets on Saturday; the pro-
fessors were desirOus of appearing before II,
to give the requisite explanations. They re-
ceiyed, however, on Saturday last, an order
from the Minister of the Interior to quit
France instantly They endeaVored 10 OBJ
tain respite till the Commission met, but
they yesterday received second Official com
munication reiterating the order to quit the
country. They leave Paris this evening Tor
England. The servants deny having struck
either of the professors.

An important decision has been made by
the Supreme Court, in regard to life policies.
Iu case lately tried the policy required pay
mention or before the 10th Of April every year,
but in prospectus issued by the Company
it was stated that "a party peg!eoting to set
tie his annual premium within thirty days
after it is due. &C., forfeits the interest he
has 10 the policy. The premium was not
paid on the 10th of April, and the person in
snred died on the 18th. % the 18th the 10
surance was rendered but the agent refused
to receive it. The Court decided that the
Insurance Company had by their own act
given a credit of thirty days, and waived
the forfeiture mentioned in the policy itself
The judgment against the company by the
lower Court was affirmed by the Supreme
Court.

Ii seems that all the world has got to sui.
fer. as well a. PERI ADD Orsiui, Tor the at
tempt of the Rue lie peIietler. The new
regulations respecting passports DOW require
every American visiting France from Eng
land, to obtain a passport from the United
States Minister 10 London, and to have this
wise by the French Consul. 10 default OF this
little iOrmahty. the unwary traveller ls liable
to be thrust into prison on arrival In France,
and to be dctaioed there until he can get
some person of influence to identify and re-
spond Tor him.
Practiy ally, the only effect of this new ar
rargemcut will be 10 lay small tax, OF some
fi'ty cents. We presume, upon every traveller
entering France. This might be borne with
OUT much demur. But no one VINO has travel
led in countries where the passport system
was in full rg0r can doubt but shat this new
scheme will be the cause of much veSatiOus
ANNOYANCE TO travellers Discrepancies will
be discovered by overzealOus gems Il Grn.eS be-

responding with that pen ard irk portrait,
and being consequently arrested as an as
sas,in 10 embryo Persons of the most
harmless character will be kept III constant
hot water by the perpetual reference to their
certificate OF political 10 oHensiveness.
The argument against the passport system
"A completely unauswerabe one-Is, that
no rascal or political offender was ever detec-
ted by means of it, while 1t has put hundreds
of honest pple to great unnecessary lncon-
veulence. Criminals flying from justice,
political conspirators coming to assassira'e
tue Emperor, have always had as many and
as perfect passports Il. they wanted; the only
people whom tue want of a passport has
annoyed have been quiet Old gentlemen VINO
contrlyei to lose theirs in the Aps, artists
who lett theirs at hotels. and ignorant sim
pletons wb0 never knew the Importance OF
having theirs properly ciSe. The countries
where the passport system Is IN tulI iorce are
those where political cOnspiracIes are con-
SANITY occurring; 10 cOuntTles where no
passports are used, conspiratIrs are unknown.
Alter a while we presume that Napoleon
will grow tired OF these precautions, and that
we may @ to France again easily as be-

LondOun ItcmH,

The Spring term of the Circuit Court for
Loudoun county, Judge Tyler residing, was
commenced in this town 90 Monday. There
were goOdIy number Of the sovereign pen-
pie" in attendance, but, 50 far as we bad an
opportunity Of judging, there was precious
little money aft lat; aud as money IL said TO
be the root OF all evil, It's scarcity, We pre-
sumo, may account for there being no crlu-
lnal case On the docket, and the further lact
that there was not a single presentment or
Indictment made by the grand jury. The
Court, it is thought, will continue until about
the middle OF the coming week.
The atmosphere has been very chilly, and
strong fears are entertained for the safety Of
the growing fruit crop. As yet, however, We
are glad to he informed, it has sustained no
serious irjury.
The vote on Saturday last, for the ador.
ton or rejection Of the new charter for the
town Ui Leesburg, resulted as foliows:-For
the cbarter-57; against e. Several very
important reforms have been inaugurated 10

slons Of the new charter.
