as the brightest and most agreeable Of
European Capitals In a brief period
few traces will be visible Of tie recent
terrible conflicts the utmost activity
prevails among all kinds Of mechanics
and the general disposition 70 make
immediate repairs stimulates industry
in a most beneficial manner. The mau-
ufaetur.ug interests Of the city are full
of perpleNity in consequence of their
inability to FIJI one half the orders that
pour in upon them The scarcity Of
skilled workman in the thousand and
one branches Of elegant and useful
manufactures peculiar to the French
Capital is particularly noticeable
A large proportion ofthe forty thous.
and Communists that have been killed,
wounded, arrested or Obliged to de-
camp having belonged to the classes
Of skilled labor for which Paris is un-
equally celebrated, the death of such
artisans is especially felt.
The day after tomorrow the cleo
tons are to take place and there is a
good deal Of apprehension that the
radicals of the International stripe
may carry the day and thus obtain
legally the local control Of the city !;
the Moderate as well as the Conscrya-
tive Republicans are however tcstir-
ring themselves and they hope to be as
successful in their efforts as on the oc-
casion Of the recent elections for va
caueics in the Nationl Assembly.
The Railways of France especially
those concentrating at the Capital are
encumbered with freight to most
wonderful extent. The nine growing
districts Of the South Of France have
been so long deprived Of this outlet
for their products that the re-opcning
Of business inaugurates rush of un-
paralellcd magnitude. The Northern
Railway has been obliged to borrow
railway carriages from the South Eas-
tern Of England The Eastern line are
trying to reclaim some ten thousand
merchandise wagons which are de-
tanned by Germany many Of them, it
is said, have been re-paintcd and trans
mogriiied in such way as to be almost
unrecognisible. The scarcity ofhorses
is tangibly apparent in the diminished
number of cabs on hire and the limited
number of omnibuses plying on the
lines. We have not yet come to street
railways they are however making
great progress in London at this time ];

Auber the prince Of the French
School Of Musical Composers was
buried with suitable ceremonies few
days since his death occurred during
the Commune and it was even asserted
at one time that his remains had been
lost, by being thrown into common
pit with many others, but such turned
out not to be the case. The musical
services on the occasion Of his funeral
were entirely worthy Of the favorito
composer and Of the artistic taste Of the
French Capital
Gambetta 'the great" as some call
him, has just appeared before the com
mittee of the National Assembly,
charged with the investigation Of the
acts Of the Government Of the national
defence the late dictator carried in his
portfolio and laid before the committee
a most elaborate series Of documents
in regard to his sayings and doings,
and demonstrated among other things
it is said that he raised while at Bor-
deaux, over a million Of soldiers. On
the whole the judicious silence Of late,
Of the young leader is winning back to
him many Of his oil Supporters, and ii
is probable that the ieG Of the Assem-.
/ bly, will emerge soon from their passive
attitude under his leadership.
