An IMPERIAL Guy FAwKEs-A Paris cor

late predictions by the clergy of an impend.
ing calamity have not tended to allay. 1t
seems that for the last two years the Cata.
combs, those immense subterranean quarries
out of which and over which Paris has been
built, have been closed to the public. This
fact, added to the general impression that the
Emperor would shrink from no means, how
ever diabolcal to suppress a revolution, has
led to the rumor that the Catacombs are fill.
ed with powder, with a train leading to a
chamber beneath the Tuileries, so that in
case of successful uprising of the people, the
Emperor would need but lighted match to
blow half the city to atoms, and, in the con-
fusion and terror which would necessarily
ensue, regain his power. Louis Napoleon is
bold, daring and INSCRIPTIONS man. But
the above is too much. even for ordinary

English Subjects.

The exclusion of Dr. Duncombe from the
seat to which he was elected in the House of
Assembly of California, by the people of
Sacramento county has caused vast deal
more of indignation in the country than the
perpetrators of the act are aware of 1t is
asked whether the fact of having once sworn
allegiance to the English Government is so
deep stain upon the character of n native
born American that twenty or thirty years
residence in the United States afterwards
cannot remove it. 1t is asked, if the having
been subject of Great Britain is such a
crime as to disfranchse an American citizen
after his return to his native country, when
it is no crime at all for him to have once
owed allegiance to Mexico, or Nicaragua, or
Texas, (before it was annexed) as was the
case with many American adventures who
went to those countries, swore fealty to the
government and returned to the United
States, to enjoy all their former rights and
privileges, without demur or question. Why
should it be q grea ter offense to become TEN
porarily a subject of the English government
than of any other? These are the questions
that are asked, and they are hard to answer.
1t wont do to talk law on the subject and de-
liver learned treatises on allegiance in reply
to these queries. Men of sound common
sense want to know, as the minority in the
Legislature did in their rejected protest, why
DR.. Duncomt e could not hold a seat in the
California Legislature on account Of his hav
ing once been a subject of Great Britain
when Hon. Robert j. Walker, of Mississippi
could hold unquestioned high official posi-
ton, after his having sworn allegiance to the
Republic of Texas, when it was separate
and Independent power from the United
States, and when other American citizens
could exercise all their former rights and
privileges in the same manner, after having
sworn allegiance to other foreign govern
ments. Why such distinctions against Eng
land and no other civilized power in the
world?

MIR. Bright on America,

A soiree was given in honor of Messrs
Gibson and Bright, NJ. Ps., in the Free Trade
Hall in Manchester In the course of the
latter gentlenman's remarks the following
passage occurs, which cannot have sounded
very well in the ears of his English audience
But protest against our being shut up to
take nothing from America cotton, rice and
tobacco And, in fact, we do take good
many other things ! am told that my friend,
Mr. Platt, n member of very eminent firm,
has wonderful machine from America with
which to make bricks. We know that the
agriculture of this country has been greatly
advantaged by the importation Of reapiag
machines from America. We know that
those persons who are going about so appre-
hensive of a revolution have particular rea-
sons to be delighted with America, because
they have received from that country the in
venton of the revolver At this moment in
the government small arms establishment at
Enfield. they have patent machinery from
America for making gun stocks They can
turn out gun stock, am told, in % min
utes fit for the barrel. What dreadful
thing to think of And am sure that Mr.
Miles, if his protectionist principles have not
long ago deserted him, will be Mortified to
hear that they have actually brought Amer
leans over to show the English how to work
them. But there is much more behind The
Times, the Morning, the Daily Telegraph,
and the leading newspapers in this district,
the Manchester Daily Examiner, with, | be-
lieve, two or three of the widely circulated
London weekly papers, are all printed on
machines which were either made in Ameri.
ca or, being made in this country, were
made on the American patent And further
than this, don't you remember that the West
Enders, including even ladies, have been sub.
scribing ten guineas apiece to invite clever
farmer from Ohio to show them how to tame
horse Anything but politics. You may
delight yourself with their charming poets
with Bryant and Whittier, and Longfellow /;
you may interest and instruct yourself by
their great historans-Bancroft, and Pres
colt, and Motley. But if you ask how free
popular institutions are working among your
own countrymen on the American Continent,
you are denounced as unpatriotic, and, at
any rate, treasonable to the House of Lords.

women were compelled to wade through the
deep snow for many a weary mile, bearing
heavy burdens, and being subjected to the
mos. horrible indignities at their hands
Miss Gardner and Mrs Marble were rescued
but the Others fell victims to the barbarity OF
their savage termentors. Her story, as told
by herself, is interesting and affecting in the

RoBDERY.-On Friday evening last party
of five Indians were out on raid, says the
Nevada National, and robbed the sluice box
es of the Alta Co. No. 2, of q small amount of
gold. As the Indians were known to Mr..
Delano, the Indian agent for this county, he
dispatched a reliable Indian messenger, on
the following morning. to the Indian camp
where the depredators lived, ordering them
to return the dust or they must suffer the
penalties of stealing By being confined in the
"calaboose."
On "Wednesday following large delega-
ton Of the Indians made their appearance at
the agents office and after expressing in
strong terms their disapproval of the acts of
few bad Indians, returned four parcels of
the dust, with promise of soon bringing in
the balance. Mr. Delano appears to have
great influence over them, and it is rarely
that our community have occasion to com

the newspapers will beat them all In the long
