Ilo spolo volicmontly aud ox-~ citodly, used oxtraordinary epithots, stampod bin feot, and gosticulatod wildly, starting the Ifouso in sn wuprosr. Disrseli wmovod that Plimsoll bo removed from the IMouso. Tho Bpesker ordercd Plimsoll to withdraw bis re- moarks, and ho went out, shaking his flsts at tho CGovernment benehes. ‘Iho Houss then consid- ored tho nction proper to take o regard to Plim- soll's conduct, Several sposkers urged bis ox- citability as an excuss for his offonse.

PREAS-QUARRELS. Aew York Tymes, Pans, July 7.—Within the past few days the Darisian press has broken out into a stato of vio- leuce ontirely unprecedented in my timo. 1bave eaen a great many jourualietic quarrols hore, aud a great many duels, but I do pot remember sn opoch resembling the present. Generally thero s somo bow of courteny lu thess nownpaper quarrels, and writora conduct themealves like gentlemeon, but they now seemn 1o have broken away from all restiaints which polite iutercounse imposes, and indvlgo in s vislenco that is cu- tiroly unprocedented, Thoy call esch otner names, and uso very ngly epituots, filling col- ums After cofuuin of the rehast biliingsgato it is ymposmblo to imagine. Naturally Paul de Cas- eagnac has a dozen wen upon him at s mo- ment, and I bogin to think that wome of them aro taking advantage of the public cath he took BOM6 ten Tears ago nover to kond another chnl- lengo.

Thero iy an extromely violent quarrel botween young Dolrousse of tho Fresse snd M. De Yilllemessant of tho Figaro, in which thio young man nsos lnufifllga which can hardly be Justiied when speaking of & man goivg on 70 yours of age. _Tho quarrel aroso fu this way: In editorial council the Figaro men wero discussing an intoreating pioce of nows just purchased from a reportor, and one remarked that it would surely be #tolen, and propoked to chanio o certain nitmber of words, and o make a voluntary error, tu o corrected the next moru- ing, 'I'he Presse was cauglt with ita hands in tho Figaro's sack, Uaving givou the itom as ttn own with the errors and changes. M. Do- brousso was furious when taken to task for this offense, and began to abuso M, Do Ville- mewsant persoually, calling him s swindlor, o black-mailer, n geueral sort of a rancal, and other unmos of the kind, reforring Jm-licul-rly 1o his failures. Do Villomeusaut did fail twice, but compromised with bhia croditors for sbout ono-fourth of thoir dues; but lsst yoar he paid overy ouo of his creditors tho spount in full witls intereat, in rome casea for {wouty yeats, or double his original debt. This wan a case of probity which young Dobrouese, who is $ho sca of & sich parveny, feiled to nate, aud lence did tho ngod fournalist groat justico. ‘Chis mattor has boen taken into tho iaw coorts, Tho two roporters tirst councermed wont to Holland day beforo yostorday and had a duel, in which ona was wounded.
