ers-on1v ended when II. Gambetta, putting on
his hat, suspended the ''sitting."
:: In the interval between the suspension and
the resumption Of business, the most shameful
disorder prevailed in the lobbies and committee
rooms. Thirty or forty: Bonapartists-with n.
Rouhcr amongst them-took possession Of a
room sacred to the Budget Committee, and re-
fused quit. until ~ DE- Mahr, the Questcur, gave
what pass things had come, n. Gambetta telc-
Graphed to the Prefeet OF Police for an addi-
tional force to be sent down.; and the
body OF gendarmes which is always
stationed at Versailles to defend the
Chambers was got under arms, and stood ready

moned to explain his insolent remarks and re-
tract
He RETRACTED EVERYTHING,
hoping that by 50 doing he might be allowed
another chance of making scene; but for once
his affected humility did not avail him. The
Republicans we're too disguised and cnraged at
the license and inpcrtiDencc OF the bully, and
NJ Gambetta proposed that he should be sen
tenced as the rules Of the House provided in
such case, to 'tcensure with three days e1clu-
siou." The proposal was voted By acclamatlou,
and in five minutes more Paul, alter show OF
bravado, sneaked out Of the House. Before he

MAGNIFICENT HUNGARIAN MARCH, i;

other night as the s'Marche dc Szabady-" Jules
Massenct arranged the music for orchestra, but
he was not the author of the stirring theme on
Thich the composition (which made sensation
at the concert-was buil:. The Composer is a
very humble person called SZabady, who keeps
beer-shop in Pesth, and who would possibly
never have been heard Of outside bis native
town had not Massenet, and Armand GouZcln,
the critic, called on him one morning.
Every one knows what marvel that other
Hungarian march, the, Is ''Rackocsky," became in
the hands of Hector Bcrlioz. The ''Szabady" is
likely to rival it in popularity.
THE LATEST At THE THEATRES
is the farce OF H. Dura and Chiyot, tsLes Loca-
taircs de II. Blondcau,'' which was produced
the other night with great success at the Palals
Royal. Lablche's "Pet1Ie Ol6eaux" has been
revived at the Vaudeville; and the Porte St.
Martin has remounted that old .seusatona! "a
vorite, ''Les Mysteres de Paris." Tn dit that
we may have an uncommon novelty at the Thea
tire dl Chateau d. Eau soon, in the shape OF q
Biblical drama, entitled ''lsrael," from the
pens Of NM. Leon aud Franz Beauvallet, with
Mile. Rousseil in the leading role; and ruuor
also is busy with projected European tour OF
Mile. Sarah Bernhardt next year. I do not be-
licve there is as yet serious reason for at
taching any importance to this latter bit
Of gossip, however.

are shortly, to have the - Ale aoirs Of Count
