The Paris correspondent Of the New York
World, writing on the 10th inst, says:
There were disturbances on Monday night,
caused entI1 ely by the police. The yard IN which
the printing Office Of Le Rlppel is situated was
early thronged by dense crowd, impatient to
hear the result Of the elections, which they
made cure was to announce N. hocnerorts
victory. AS return after return came In, each
extipeuishing still more his chances, the crowd
became .irritated, and uIon the cheer being
raj sed by N, Jules Favre's frienos,a general me-
lee ensued between the adherents ofthe respect
i've candidates. The police stupidly interfered,
and in that brutal way which disgraces the
French police. The manner OF this interfer-
epce. even more than the interference itself,
raised passions to a high pitch, and the dis
turbances spread from the yard TO the neigh
boring boulevard, which was densely throng-
ed. There was great excitement III the
crowd in consequence Of the election, and
it would have been true wisdom IL the po-
lice to have given the excitement elbow room,
it would soon have exhausted itself and

lice brought on q collision, some arrests we're
made, but as midnight drew near the throng

NIGHT SCENE on THE BOULEVARD.

From the Rue Laftte the Boulevards pre-
sented It's usual aspect; all the cafes remained
open, with the exception Of the Richie and the
Grand. Balloon, which only let out their custom
ers, but refused to admit any. The routes OF
the omn,busses had been changed after eight
o'clock, public carriages we're allowed to cncu-
late. but were not permitted to take places on
the stanls. Our cab was stopped q little be-
yond the Rue Montmartre, where the Boule.
ward was barred by detachment Of municipal
guards, on horseback and on foot. The former
occupied the roadway, and the latter the foot
pavement on eaca side. That force, preceded
by drums which beat the usual summons to
disperse, drove the mob back towards the
Porte Saint Denis. The appearance OF the
Boulevards at that moment was most singular;
the troops stopped. and the vehicles which
were following naturally did the same; then o
roll of drums was heard, and the soldiers 8 again
advanced precedi lg long procession OF cabs
and carriages, and accompanied by the cries OF
the crowd, which, after escaping by the lateral
streets, returned and formed again mass be-
hind the municipal troops. On arriving at The
Point.de-Fer, as there remained no one behind
the soldiers the officer commanding suddenly
ordered his men to turn abous and charge;
then the carriages we're Obliged to turn back
in tne direction OF the Madeleine.

long sticks called out, Keep back !" but the
drivers paid no attention, and still advanced;

BOULEVARD MoNTMARTRE.
Half.1dst Eleuen.-A band OF about hun
dred individuals, the majority young men,
wearing caps and blouses. and armed With
stakes and bars of wood, arrived Oh the Bou-
leyard Montmartre, crying out "Vlve hoche-
Fortl" The police had then left the spot. The
rioters at once commenced smashing the lamps
and win LOWS OF the kiosks; they next upset
almost all these latter from The Rue Montmar-
tre TO the Rue RichelIeu; they threw down the
seats. and even attempted to tear up some OF
the Young trees. With the wreck they had
made they iormed two barriers, about two feet
high, righ, across the road. The work OF de-
vas. alton would have been clrrled still further,
