Relief for the Sufferers.

Several influential citizens OF the Second
District met yesterday to devise means for
the immediate relief of sufferers by the
overflow. They invite the merchants and
citizens generally of this city to contribute
large or small amounts for this praiseworthy
object, and designate the following gentle
men TO receive contributions:
Charles Cavaroc, president of the Bank
of New Orleans; A NJ. Fortier, president
Bank of America, and C. H. Slocomb, Of
the firm of Slocomb, Baldwin & Co.
The members of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association will attend a meeting at
their rooms, No. 81 Camp street, at twelve
o'clock to-day, to take immediate steps
toward relieving the sufferers by the over
flow. All merchants and citizens are cor
daily invited to be present and to cooperate.
A private meeting of the City Council
was held yesterday, the object of which,
we learn, was to take measures to aid the
sufferers by the overflow. Mayor Flanders
appointed a committee, consisting Of Ad-
ministrators Bonzano, Lewis and Delassize,
to distribute food to the sufferers and assist
them otherwise as in their power. The
Mayor has also appointed two citizens of
each ward to cooperate with this COM
mittee.
Administrator Lewis has issued instruc-
tions to pound keepers to receive and feed,
free of charge, animals belonging to the
sufferers.

Persons Present-Anticipated Debate
on the Right of the Orleans Princes to
Seats-DiscassiOn POsfponed-Investi-
cation into the Acts of the Recent
Governments of France.
VERSAILLES, June 5-The Assembly to-
day presented an animated appearance.
Many nOtabilities occupied seats on the
floor, and the galleries were crowded with
spectators in anticipation of the debate
upon the right of the Orleans princes in the
house. Among the distinguished persons
present were Prince Metternich and nearly
all of the diplomatic corps.
President Thiers rose to move a post
ponement of the discussion. He said he
had passed hours in consultation with
the members of the committee having in
charge the subject which now engaged the
attention of the Assembly. The committee
has acknowledged that it was impossible
to come to an agreement to-day, and he had
requested them not to hasten their deliber-
ations. He stated that he was very unwell,
and begged the Assembly would consent to
pOstponement of the question at issue till
Thursday, the committee, he said, favored
simultaneous decision ON the veritica-
tiOn of the elections of the Orleans princes
and the abrOgatiOn of the decree of exile
against them.
The assembly agreed to an adjournment
of the debate.
A committee appointed to consider what
action should be taken in regard to the acts
OF the recent governments of France re-
ported in favor of an investigation into the
administration of the government of ma
tional defense at Paris, Tours and Bour-
deaux, and of the government over which
Thiers DreSi6ed
