assumed last evening. Mrs. Bary's powers in the
same direction are very fine, and were so recog-
nized by the audience. CLARK is a favorite tenor,
and Payson, deep rich, thorough bass. The

BY every luxury, is prey to ennui, from which
her companion, Nancy, tries to rouse her. Her

made an object of ridicule by the lady and her
companion, is compelled, against his inclination,
to take them both, dressed as peasants, to Rich
mond fair. Two young farmers, Lionel and
Plunkett, attend the fair, and struck by the beau
ty of Lady Harriet (now Martial, and Nancy,
offer them an engagement, which they in fun &C
cept, but are dismayed at being carried off by the
young men to their farmhouse. Arrived there
they are instructed by their masters in spinning,
and then left for the night. Lady Harriet, know
ing that she would be disgraced at Court, if the
affair came to the knowledge of the queen, is de-
lighted when Lord Tristran arrives at the farm,
and helps her with Nancy to escape. The young
men, who have fallen in love with the girls, are
determined to find them and compel them to re-
turn to their year Of servitude. Several days after
they meet in forest, the ladies being dressed for
q hunt; but they positively deny being the peasant
girls who had been engaged at the fair. Lionel,
broken hearted by Lady lIarriet's naughty man

really loves Lionel discovers that his late father
was the Earl of Derby, uni Justly banshed from his
native land, and intercedes for him with the queen
who restores him TO his position as peer Of Eng
land. Lionel eventually marres Lady Harriet,
and Pluskett takes Nancy to his farming house az

/ Sensation in the Paris Assembly.
The Debate on the Senate Bill.


Paris, February II. The floor and galleries of
the Assembly were crowded to-day. The sitting
opened amid intense excitement. The considera-
ton of the Senate was resumed. General De
Cissey assembled the tribune and said, President
MacMahon has not authorized the ministers to
interfere in the debate on the constitutional bills,
but the vote of yesterday alters the nature of the
institutions proposed and deprives constitutional
laws of that character without which the conserv-
alive interests would be endangered. The gov
hrnment must defend the conservative interests.
1t cannot agree to yesterdays resolution in the
Assembly, and informs you of this before the res
olution is made final"
The announcement caused a profound sensation
and was followed by noisy debate,
NJ Charreyon of the right centre denounced the
vote of yesterday as communistic revenge, and
warned the deputies that it was leading the coun-
try to an abyss. He declared that he and his
friends would oppose the third reading of the bill
as amended.
An amendment offered by NJ Bordoux of the
left, providing that each department elect three
Senators, was adopted.
This was incorporated with the amendment Of
yesterday, which provides that Senators should be
chosen by the same electors as deputies, and the
entire amendment was then adopted as q SUBJ
stitute for the first clause Of the b-yeas, $50;
nays, 255.
The remainder of the bill, including the amend
ment introduced by the left, defining the catego
ries of persons eligible to Senatorship, was adopt
ed clause by clause.
A motion was then made to proceed to the third
reading of the bill. This was rejected on a divi-
sion of the House--yeas, 345; nays, 357.
The Senate bill is therefore destroyed.

There was about one foot of snow when got

but never saw so rough q month of January as
this has been. 1t has showed some almost every
day and nearly one-half the time it has blown a
perfect gale. Had no means Of knowing how
cold it was, but should think the mercury was
from 10 TO % degs. below for three weeks 1t

winter for hauling logs ever | saw. There are

nc-half million feet-mostly spruce The Treat

is good for two millions more. Messrs. smith 4

One of the coolest days week before last, Mr..
Elias Vaughan narrowly escaped having his leg
crushed. He went to the river with his
team very early in the morning, where he stopped
to unload One side of the sled was considerably
higher than the other. He unbound and stepped
on to the load to roll the top Off and it all rolled
together and threw him among the logs, caught
one leg and very nearly crushed it and held him
fast A man coming up the river heard his calls
and soon released him, turned the team and got
him to the camp. Had he remained there very
little longer he must have persisted. He is doing
we'll think he will be out in few days.
