Paris at inc CLOSE OF 1860.

Daring the year 1860 there were demolished
in the ancient city OF Paris III houses, con-
tanning COPS separate dwellings; while 143C
houses, con aiming 1901 dwellings,, he'd TO BE-
built, showing an increase Of 7J6 houses. and
2l79 separate dwellings. The whole number
Of houses in ancient Paris being, 10 1860, 3D.
1874, and OF separate dwellings 4jI,574. Dur
ing that year The boundaries of the city were
EXTENDED, and the field Of municipal taxation
was consequently increased. 10 these dis
trio s, too, demolition and reconstruction have
been Conspicuous; the number Of houses taken
down being III. containing 7u5 separate
dwellings, while 1886 houses, containing %
Gao dwellings, had been eTec-ed; showing an
increase during the year Of 2Sl5 houses, and
Il, 325 dwellings more than what were taken
down. We have a grand total at present OF
5S2 242 dwellings; and If |e assume tha5 each
dwelling contains on an average what has
been statjstically ascertaiDsd-yjz three per-
sons, it will appear that Paris, with It's present
extended limits, contains little short OF i,TUO,-
600 inhabitants. The effect Of the Important
operations connected with what has been
called the rehabilitation Of Paris, has been to
render the population less dense at the central
part OF the city, and consequently TO scatter
it more to the circumference, and, in hne, to
spread it more equally over the whole terrific
ny within the foruhcations.
THE TRAIroR.-Ths Raleigh STANDARD, OF
the 21st inst, tells the following:
It is reported that after the surrender Of
Hatterss, a meeting Of the citizens OF Hyde
was called, to take into consideration ter
imminent danger. At that ucetiHg runner has
it, that DR.. Milton Shelky, formerly a com
mOnsT from Hyde, arose and proposed That a
proposition should be made to the Lincoln
commander at HatteTas, that the peopla OF HYDE
would furnish him full supplies Of corn, beer,
etc, at reasonable rates, provided that the
Lincoln forces should not attack them, etc.
At this, it Is said, Nathaniel Beckwith, Esq.,
arose and denouHcea him as a %trait.r. Dr..
Shelby repealed the charge rather men5cIDgly,
upon which Mr.. Beckwith knocked him down
and gave him q sound thrashing. So far as
we can learn, no one sympathiZed with DR..
Sheiby's views, and We give The ease az rgmoT
has II, to afford The parties the opportunity q
correcting, il untrue, so damaging a story.

our armies should not be peryaded with this
