New CLOTHING WAREHoUsE.-PrOgreSs
is the watch-word Of the day. We live in
i'll age in which VIC cannot afford to stand
still. Taking this view OF the case, our
friend Vim. Ira Smith, "thc klOthier,"
has made another gigantic stride in secur-
ing and fitting up a splendid establishment
on Main street, nearly opposite the Dis
match office. In all the appointments Of Il
1rst-class gents clothing and furnishing
house, his new establishment will bear
favorable comparison to any like inStitu-
tiun south of New York. Having an init
mate knowledge Of the business and the
wants Of our community, and polite ana
accommodating statesmen, Alr. Smith may
consider himself fairly OH the high ROAD 10
fortune, il not 10 iame.
His stock is the largest and most COM
plete ever exhibited in this city, and en-
braces everything in bis line that is worn
by gentlemen or boys.
The handsome building in which Mr..
Smith has located is on Main street, be-
tween 18th ana 18th, is three stories high,
with full basement. IL is 4 handsome IRON
front building, we'll lighted, and perfectly
adapted to the business which is to be con-
Quoted in it. 1t is the intention of the pro-
prictor to enlarge his business as The ne
cesstieS of the trade may require, until the
entire building lis occupied with workmen
or goods. The main floor is one OF the best
in the city, and is fitted up in the very
handsomest manner. Dir. Smith, while
splenddly furnishing this new store, does
not intend to close the one now occupied
~ him on flain and 10th street, but will
for the present continue the business there
also.
Last night Mr.. Smith entertained q num-
Der of his friends and the public ut bis es.
.lishment, during the course OF which good
cheer prevailed, and mutual Well-Wlshes
were expressed for the success OF his enter
prise and the continued prosperity OF Rich

NEW STEAM BAKERY.-The new steam
bakery of Richard Adam, on 18th street.
commenced operations on yesterday, and
was visited by large number of citizens to
witness the operation of the improved ma
chinery and new patent baking ovens
which had been introduced into the estab-
lishment. That which attracted most at
tention was the Mckenzie revolving oven
(the third one yet erected in the South,
and which consumes thirty barrels of flour
per day. There are also several other ovens
OF improved construction, the whole capa-
city of the bakery ut present being abOnt
eighty barrels of -four per day, and it is so
arranged that it may be greatly enlarged
when the demands Of trade require it..
The revolving oven was built by McCalum,
of New York; the brick ovens by Messrs.
Crump g. Powers, and the steam-engine by
MessrS. w. e. Tanner & Co. The building
was erected under the superintendent of
81. Exali, architect.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Adam to furnish
the Virginia and southern trade with arti-
cles in his line at rs low prices and of as
good quality as can be obtained of the Bal
timore and New York bakers. We welcome
MIR. Adam back to the business which he
carried on so extensively and successfully
in this city until the great cOnilagration OF
April, 1865, swept away his establishment.
We trust that BIZ and those engaged i'll the
same branch Of business will he so literally
palronized by southern dealers as TO make
Richmond as famous for the products of its
bakeries us 1t now is for those Of its flour
mills.

LONDON, April IA dispatch from Yer

Csnnonading and musketry firing continued
all this afternoon to the south Of Paris, be-
tween the insurgent position at Montrouge
and that of the government ut Chatill0n.
Similar firing was also heard northeast of
Paris, evidently between Asnieres and
.d'Ivry. Bicetre and CharentOn were en-
gagged in combat with ths artillery of the
Versailles army.
The government troops made vigorous
attack upon the insurgents, and were aided
therein BY Fort Mont Valerian and the bat
teries at Courbev0ie. The combat stil
continues. The nationals have everywhere
abandoned the offensive for the defensive.

A bold attempt was made by them to pierce
the lines of the Versailles army and return
to Paris, but proved futile.

tinue the struggle, and have greatly
strengthened the Notifications of Mont

General Cluseret is reOrganizing the ma

The party of reconciliation are redOubling
their efforts. Several organs devoted to
their object have appeared, all of which de-
mand complete municipal liberty for Paris.
Hopes are entertained that an armistico
of torty-eight hours will be concluded for
the exchange Of prisoners. The Temps news
paper proposes to dispatch Louis Blanc to
Versailles to negotiate with Theirs. t
The conditions of the new election law
embrace the cOnvocati0n of electors for the
choice of constitution.
A new corps, called the Paris avengers, is
in the course of formation, to operate as
skirmishers. All the large shops have been
searched by order of the sub-central COM
mittee, for men to serve in this erganiza-
ton.
