The depression of trade is felt very
acuteIy in Paris. and as the difficulty Of
procuring work among the lower classes
becomes greater, there is a notable in
crease of crime that is causing general
alarm. Especially is this the case in the
way OF robbery with personal violence,
and, although the police force has been
augmented, there is not a night during
which daring highwaymen do not attack
persOrs even in the most frequented
streets. Burglaries are also on the in
crease, and various are the devices put in
practice by the rich classes to hold their
property in safety.-San Francisco Chro-
