The Archbishop of Paris Mur- dered. ; Sourtecn Officers, Six Deputies, and 35,000 Men Killed and Wounded. THE REPUBLIC TRIUMPHANT. he. ke. ke. “Europe. EWS “The steamship Niagara, Capt. Ryne, arrived at Boston at seven o’clock yesterday morning, from Liverpool and Halifax. She sailed from Liverpool on the Ist instant, at noon, and has thus made the passage in less than * eleven days. One of the bloodiest dramas the world ever wit- messed—one of the most ferocious and obstinate ansurrections which the ensanguined history of France has had torecord, from her earliest annals— has just been brought to a close in the streets of Pans, by the absolute annihilation of the revolted party, and the triumphant success of republican arms. To furnish any adequate idea of this appalling occurrence, would be immeasurably to surpass our limite, and we therefore refer to the newspa- per accounts, which doubtless will be perused with feelings of the profoundest solemnity. After four days and nights of incessant fighting, the insurgents have been utterly vanquished, with loss on both sides of 10,000 killed and 25,000 wounded, which is believed to be much beneath the true estimate. * The commencement of rebellion appears to have ‘been by a deputation of ouvrisrs, who waited upon M. Mane, at the Luxembourg. He listened to their grievances; but observing that their spokesman had been active in the affair of the 15th of May, said to the men, “you are notthe slaves of this man; you can state your own grievances.” ‘This expression was distorted by the workmen that M. Marie had called them slaves; and it seems to have been the ssignal for the conspirators, who had previously or- ganized a vast movement, to commence their ope- rations. On Thursday night, the 22nd of June, othe first barricades were raised, and the troops and ‘the National Guards called out. On Friday, the 23d, the insurgents possessed themselves of all that portion of the right bank of ~the**river Sefhe, stretching from the faubourg St. Antome to the river; whilst on the left bank they eccupied all that portion called the Cité —the foubourgs St. Marce, St. Victor, and the Tower quarters of St. Jacques. The communica- sions of the insurgents between the two banks o ‘the river were maintained by the possession of the Church St. Gervaic, a part of the quarter of the Temple, the approaches of Notre Dame, and the bridge St. Michel. By. these extensive lines of ‘perations, the insurgents occupied a vast portion of the most defensible paris of the city, and afterwards threatened the Hotel de Ville, which, if they had succeeded in taking, might have secured the first victory on their side. On Friday there were partial conflicts; but the insurgents seemed to be occupied more in for- tifying their positions than in actually fighting; but whatever successes the government troops may have had in various quarters where con- flicts took place, as at St. Denis and St. Martin, it now appears that the enthusiastic courage of the insurgents repulsed them, and even beat them in other parts of the city. M. Lamartine rode with the staff of Cavaignac through Paris to quell the insurrection; but it was evident that nothing but the power of arms could compel the insurgents to yield. The government forces were divided into three divisions, and large masses of | troops were brought to bear with artillery upon the | positions of the insurgents; but still Friday passed, and the insurrection had evidently gathered strength. Qn Saturday, the 24th, the National Assembly declared itself in permanence, and Paris was placed in a state of seige. The executive power was delegated absolutely to Cavaignac; at half- past ten, the members of the Executive government resigned. They declared that they should have been wanting in their duties and honor had they | withdrawn before a sedition or a public peril; | they only withdrew before a vote of the Assem- bly. Reports poured in every hour to the As- sembly; and as the intelligence armved of the slaughter of the National Guards, and the fall of | one general after another, who was killed or | wounded by the insurgents, the sensation be- came deep and alarming. Various proclametions were vaignac to induce the insurgents to lay down their arms; but to no effect. The whole of Saturday was employed in desperate | ting on both sides, except a lull during a frightful aipunder' storm. In the afternoon of Friday the con- fiicts' were without intermission. On Saturday owever, the carnage and battles on the south of the ver were horrible. During the whole of Friday night, and until three o’clock on Saturday, the roar | of the artillery and the noise of the muskets were | incessant. In this frightful state of things the As~ | sembly betrayed not a little alarm. Deputations from the'Assembly were proposed to go and entreat | ‘the combatants to cease this fratricidal strife; butal! | the successive reports prove that the insurgents | ‘were bent on only yielding up the struggle with | their lives, and their valor was only surpassed by their desperate resolution. On Saturday night at eight o'clock, the capital wasin an awful state. Fighting continued with unabated fury. Large masses of troops poured in from all the neighboring departments; but still the nsurgents, having rendered their position almost impregnable, resisted more or less effectually all the force which could be brought against them. | ‘The red flag, the banner of the republique demo- | cratique et sociale, was hoisted. On Sunday morning, at the meeting of the Na- tional Assembly, the President announced that the government force had completely succeeded in suppressing the insurrection on the left bank of the | nver, after a frightful sacrifice of human life; and that Gen. Cavaignac had given the | nsurgents on the right bank, till 10 o'clock to sur- nder; when, if they did not lay down their arms, would storm their entrenchments, in the fau-™ bowrs St. Antoine, where they were now driven, idyvt the whole to the sword, The heaviest ar- issued by Ca- | tillgry had been brought to bear upon them, and little doubt could be entertained that the insurrec- tion could be put down. The hope thus held out of the termination of the insurrection, was not, however, realized. The fighing continued the whole of Sunday, with a fearful loss of lite—espe- cially to the National Guards. “On Monday, the reintorcements General La- moriciere had received from Cavaignac, enabled him to hem in the insurgents in the eastern part, of the city; and although reduced to extremities, they still fought with incredible valor. It was thought, on Monday morning early, that they would surrender; but again the hope thus held out of the termination of the insurrection was not immedi- ately realized. At half-past 10, the fighting was resumed; and it was only after a frightful struggle of about two more hours, that the government troops everywhere prevailed, and that part of the insurrection being broken, the insurgents were either shot, taken prisoners, or fled into the coun- try in the-direetion towards Vincennes. The eastern quarters, comprising the faubourgs St. An- toine, du Temple, Menilmontant, and Popincourt, were the last subdued.” Tlie last band took refuge in the celebrated cemetery of Pere la Chaise, but the Garde Mobile hunted them even from this sanctuary, ‘and they were slaughtered in the neigh- boring fields. On Tuesday the ineurrection was defintely quelled. The loss of life has been terrifie--no fewer than fourteen general officers had been put hors du com- bat—a greater loss than inthe most splendid engage- ments of Napoleon. Amongst those who fell, are General Megrier and Generals Deart and Brea; Generals Charcolnel and Renault and others se- yerely wounded. Four or five members of the Na- tional Assembly are amongst the killed, and as many more wounded; but the most touching death is that of the Archbishop of Paris. The venerable prelate on Sunday volunteered to go to the insur- gents as a messenger of peace. Cavaignac said that such a step was full of danger; but this Christian pastor persisted. He advanced, attend- ed by his two vicars, towards the barricades, with an olive branch borne before him, when he was ruthlessly shot in his groin, and fell mortally wounded. The venerable patient was ordered by the insurgents to the nearest hospital, in St. An- toine, where he received the last sacraments, languished, and has since died. The editor of the Pere Duchesne, M. Laroche, was shot in the head, at the barricade Rochechouart, where, in the dress of an ouvrier, he was fighting at the head of a party of insurgents. It will, probably, never be correctly ascertained to what extent the sacrifice of human life in this frightful struggle has reached. Some compute the loss on the side of the troops at from 9,000 to 10,000 slain; but we hope This is exaggerated. The number of prisoners captured of the insurgents, exceeds 5000, All the prisons are filled, as well as the dungeons and vaults of the Tuileries, the Louvre, Palais Royal, the Chamber of Deputies, and the Hotel de Ville. A military commission has already been appointed to try such as were found witharms in their hands, and they will probably be deported to the Marque- sas Islands, or some transatlantic French colony. A decree has been proposed with that object. We have not space to recount many acts of individual heroism. Many soldiers exhibited sublime courage. On the other hand, the savage cruelty with which the insurgents waged war, almost exceeds belief. They tortured some of therr own prigoners; cut off their hands and feet, and inflicted barbarities worthy of savages The women were hired to poison the wine sold to the soldiers, who drank it, reeled, and died. It seems to be believed generally, that if the insur- gents had succeeded in following up their most admirably concerted plan of operations, and nad advanced their line, and possessed them- selves of the Hotel de Ville, and followed up the river, that the whole city would have been g.ven up to pillage. Indeed, the words “pillage” and “ rape” are said to have been inscribed on one of their banners. Not less than 30,000 stand of arms have been seized and captured in the faubourg St. Antoine alone. [From the London Times, June 28.} The City of Paris stands in the valey of the river Seine, in such wise that whilst the most central part of the city occupies the islands and the strand of the river, the streets which diverge at right an- gles from this point rise,by a somewhat rapid ascent to the high ground on each side of the valley. The centre of the insurrection was established on the low ground by the river. Its wings rested on the opposite heights. The Hotel de Ville was its most advanced post in front; but all the narrow streets and the quays from that building to the faubourg Saint Antoine were in the hands of the insurgents. ‘The attack was carried on upon this point by General Duvivier; but such were the preparations for resistance made, that, according to the written statement of the Mayor of Paris, to the National Assembly, the whole district was converted into a vast fort- ress, which could only be reduced stone by stone. ‘The streets were barricaded, the windows were lined with mattresses, behind which a murderous fire was poured down on the troops ; and the gang- ways of internal communication had been opened from house to house, which supplied ammunition or means of escape to the besieged. The progress of the forces from this point was, accordingly, very slow ; and it was in the rear of this position that the final stand of the insurrection was made on Monday afternoon; but the operations were carried onwith equal skill and courage at the two wings; | for that term may strictly be applied to the positions which the insurrection had assumed. On the left bank of the Seine the left wing extended to the Pantheon, by the steep and narrow line of the Rue St. Jacques, which was completely barrioaded, and even fortified with cannon. The attack on this po- sition alone cost fifteen hours’ hard and uninterrupt- ed fighting; yet it was the first which was recon- quered by the troops. ‘The attack on the right wing, which extended to the Clos St. Lazare, was con- ducted by Lamoriciere, who gradually forced his way, on the third day, to the barriers, and there effected his junction with the central division of Gen. Duvivier. It may be inferred from the regu- lar distribution of the insurrectionary forces, that their plan was to exhaust the troops by a jfruitless attack on the barricades, and then to assume of- fensive operations by an advance of the two wings upon the National Assembly and the west end of Paris, so as to place the Government between two fires, and reduce it to inevitable destruction. The extent of organization which the execution of such a plan, extending over a line of several miles in length, and maintained for the last four days, disclosed, is perfectly inconceivable. Every spe- cies of artifice was employed to convey ammu- nition, The pails of the milkwomen, the couches of the wounded, and even the coffins of the dead, were found filled with gunpowder and cartouches. Large sums of money in gold and notes were disco. vered on the persons of men apparently in extreme | poverty, and young children. The women of Paris took a most active part in the struggle. They conveyed orders and signals through the hottest fire ; they carried off the wounded ; some of them perished in tne barricades, or fired from the houses on the soldiers; whilst some are even re- ported to have inflicted the most refined barbari- ties upon their wretched fellow-citizens who had follen prisoners into their hands. None were spared by the chances or the undiscriminating fury of this general slaughter. The Archbishop of Paris, who in the sublime exercise of the most awtul duties of a Christian priest, sought to bring back thit outrageous mulutude to reason and peace, was basely shot from the back of a barn- cade, and General Negrieu, who had survived the numerous campaigns of Africa, fell in a like manner at a parléy with the savages of the faubourg St. Antoine. Strange and terrible confusion of the strongest passion and emotions of human nature !_ So vast and horrible a desolation wrought in the heart of a city by the hands of her own citizens, the world hus not witnessed in the whole survey of historic memory; and the arms of a stranger and an enemy would have been devoted to eternul infamy, if they had inflicted so awful a chastisement on the great city of Paris. None but herself could permit her iniquities, or inflict her doom. {From the London Times, June 29.) The position of the insurgents throughout the line, Ihave mentioned, was immensely strong.— ‘The barricades in advance of the barriers were as formidable as regular engincers could have coy- structed them. The houses covering them occu- pied the means of passing from one to another; the tall houses of the barriers were occupied by them, and the windows removed; the houses on the side of the Boulevards were, moreover, in the pe sion of the rebels, and manned with marks- men. That which formed, however, the strength of their position, was the perforation of the walls of the city, whick are twelve or fourteen feet high, at inteivals of 8 or 10yards, and the creation by that means of several hundred loop-holes. When those who have been at Waterloo learn, that for more than a nule the walls of the city of Paris were as profusely furnished with loop-holes as was the garden wall of Hongement, they will easily ima- gine how formidable was the obstacle it presented. When they shall bear in mind that the barricades in advance were composed of paving stones of a hundred weight each, or of the cut stones for an hospital in process of erection, and that they were protected by houses adjoin- ing to, or commading them, and that as oc- casion presented itselt throughout Saturday and Sunday, a constant unerring and deadly fire was ‘Aept up on the assailants, by an almost invisible “garrison, they will not be surprised at the pre- longed resistance, nor at the immense loss of lile amongst'the troops and National Guards, that un- fortunately occurred. What will be the astonish- ment of all the world, and the feeling of all mili- tary men in particular, when they are told that the whole ofthese works were defended by between 80 und 150 raffians’—the largest number 400. How many of the insurgents were killed on Sunday at the barrier Rochechouart, thiak you, while the loss of the armed force was more than | one thousand! Two! One of them was shot through the brain while firing through a loop-hole, not six inches in diameter; live were wounded. ‘They ran from loopzhole to loop-hole with the agility of mox- keys. They only left the corner of the high wall to seek ammunition, of which they had only a scanty and precarious supply. {was shown the mark of the crucibles under the wall in which they melted lead for bullets during the fighb*. They even at- tempted to fabricate gunpowder. Against these men were brought as fine an army and as service- able a park of artillery as the world could produce, and nothing less would have sufficed to dislodge them; their position had been turned, and they had been attacked in the rear. Let us recollect, however, also, that on 800 other points ot Paris the troops were occupied in contend- ing with the rebels, at the same moment; and how this must have embarrassed the Generals—that the usual means of obtaining information were not available, nor when information was obtained to be relied on. When these-facts shall be taken into consideration, there will not be so much sur- prise at the offensive and defensive efforts of the rebels; who, though comparatively few in number, were ultimately acquainted with the ground,strong- ly fortified and supported by the sympathies and the positive co-operation of the whole population of the continuous line of tower that borders the Boulevards. [From Second Edition of London Globe, June 30.] The new ministry does not give universal satisfaction, of course. Many persons complain of the retention in power of four of the old mi- nisters, viz:—Recurt, Carnot, Bettimont and Bas- | tide, and ask why M. Thiers is not named. ‘They alco complain that what is called the clique of the Nationnel,has still the ascendancy, and mention as a proof the nomination of Admiral Le Blane as Minister of the Marine. As to the composition of the new ministry, the only really bad nomi- nation is that of Carnot. This man is almost as objectionable as Ledru Rollin; for his cir- eulars, when they were in power together, be- fore the elections, were as violent as those of Ledra Rollin, and seemed to have been written by the same hand. As to Recurt, he is really an honest, well-meaning republican; for 20 years he has en- joyed an usullied reputation in private life, and none of his public acts have brought odium upon him. Bethmont, the Minister of Justice, is also an honest man and a moderate republican. Bas- tide, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, although long suspected of a tendency to red republican- ism, behaved nobly in the affair of Louis Blane. He was the only Minister who had the courage and the honesty to demand the arrest and trial of that mad demagogue. The appointment which gives most satisfaction, is that of Gen. Lamoriciere, as Minister of War, first, from the esteem that is entertained for him; secondly, from his being the brother-in-law of M- Thiers, ‘which leads to the supposition that Ca- vaignac intends, in due season, to avai. himself of the talents of the brother-in-law ; and thirdly, not least, because the appointment proves that Ca- vaignac is above all jealousy. The conduct of La- moriciere, in the late insurrection, has made him so popular that if Cavaignac had not a no- ble mind he would not have admitted such a rival of popular favor into the cabinet. Car- not cannot remain long in office ; public opinion is too much against him—it was even doubtful yesterday, whether he would be named. Ca- vaignac hesitated long between him and M. Bar- thelymy St. Hilaire, who, or M. Victor Hugo, will probably take his place. The National Guard and the Line are resolved to insist upon a rigid inquiry into the causes of the late insurrection, and every hour adds to their irritation on this sub- ject. It has been discovered that telegraghic des- patches to the provinces for reinforcements were not sent off with proper rapidity, and it is even re- ported that others of a different character, forged, it is said, were forwarded ; but these are reports to which implicit credit must not be attached. The ar- rest of Ledru Rollin, Lamartine and Flocon, are generally spoken of to-day; but up to the post hour, I could not ascertain that they were true. It is the general opinion, however, that no time ought tobe lostin securing them. Barbés made quite sure of being released by his friends, both on Friday and Saturday last. Since his confine- ment at Vincennes, up to that time, he had been very negligent of his pereon; but on Mriday and Saturday he was en grand toilette, and was anxiously listening to every sound. As to Albert, ted was | day evening, and the insurgents had prepared for him ahigh post of command. We begin now to perceive the danger in which we were placed atew daysago. Itisascertamed that the msurgents had resources; that they had even prepared several hun- dred Congreve rockets, for an attack on the dis- tricts of Paris, in which the persons most opposed to them, viz: the first and second arrondissements reside. The moderate republicans begin to think that the republic 1s safe; and it is but right to assure you that men of influence who were anti-republi- cans only a few days ago; now express a hope that a victorious republic will be established—it is, they say, the only chance of restoring domestic peace. They demand, however, very, strict and stern measures against some of the clubs and the incendiary press. If these be not put down, all o:der will be impossible. The state of seige can- not last for ever, and with the least encouragement anarchy will again raise itself. ‘Lhe great bankers have had a meeting to-day to devise means to assist M. Goudchaux, the new Minister of Finance, and provide a capital for the yment of the working classes, Every eflort will be made to prevent a creation of paper money; but it seems umpossible to do without it, as there must be new taxes upon those who are called rich; but who, mm the present state of things, have almost as little as the poor. The pay of the ateliers nalionaus has been resumed, to keep the r from starvation and desperation; but they are to be im- mediately re-organized and compelled to produc- tive labor. The Bourse has been quite animated to-day; the funds have risen 2 per cent since the closing prices before the insurreetion, It our mi- nisteis have but the skill to take proper advan- of the confidence that is reposed in them, 1s will again come round. tage m: [¥rom the London Sun, June 30, 7 P.M [ Jonstitutionnel states that, among the mass found at the lodgings of Lieut De Flotte, discovered several letters from Lamartine, passport signed by him, and Ord it is said, have been given for the arrest of Lamartine, Ledra Rollin, Loms Blanc, Caussidiere, and La Grang Contrary to general expectation, the provinces had been generally quiet; the only exception has been at Marseilles. An émeute broke out there on the 22d; barricades were formed, and after a loss of 50 National Guards, killed by the insur gents, the barricades were successively carried, and the movement put down, with the exeeption ofa small pertion of the Northern railway, where The of pa wer together with a another by Louis Blanc. the rails taken up.

Commander-in-chief of the National Guard of Paris, and General Badeau Governor of Paris ‘The National Assembly has this day to elect a President in the place of M. Senard, and M. Du faure has been started as the candidate of the moderate party. The Commission of Inquiry into the conspiracy, and of 1ts connection with that of the 15th of May, sits in permanence, adjourning only | for short intervals. During the day it has ad- dressed a circular to the law officers of the republic throughout France, requiring them to send, with the utmost expedition, the tele- graphic despatches that they received, the documents which they have in their hands, and, in a word, all the political information which has any relation to these two events ; and also the result of such inquiries as they may be enabled to make. Startling Disciosures, ‘The government, it 1s said, was quite aware, for some days previous, that the insurrection was about to break out, and the Minister of War con sequently gave orders for a fresh supply of troops to be sent to the capital, which orders were to be transmitted to the irilitary authorities in the pro- vinces by telegraph. ‘These orders, it seems, were not sent, and as the telegraph is in the department of the Mimster of the Interior, it remains with him why they were suppressed. Some of the insurgent prisoners do not hesitate to assert that they have friends in the government who would have moved in their favor had an opportunity occurred. This may account for the manner in which the insur- gents were allowed to complete the barricades without interruption. One of the principal prison- ers, M. de Flotte, was found to have in his posses- sion a caisse paper in the hand-writing of M. de Lamaitine, and another in that of M. Louis Blane. Severat letters from M. de Lamartine were seiz- ed at his house. It is now ascertained that at one time the insurrectionists were as near as possible gaining the victory. Further Detatls One hundred thousand insurgents were on the one side, and 250,000 troops and National Guards ‘on the other. All the anarchist journals are sup- pressed. The Presse and the Reforme are also sus- pended. MM. de Lamartine and Arago headed detachme nts of National Guards and boldly advane- ed onthe barricades. M. Lavaigne, one of the editors of the Commerce, and an associate of So- brier, was arrested on Monday. M. Watrin, Lieut Col. of the 6th legion, was arrested after having been admitted to the conference on the plan of the attack, He was taken in the ranks of the insur- gents. The Sth, 9th and 12th legions of the Paris National Guards, and La Chapelle, Belleville, and other National Guards of the banlieue, were dis armed on Tuesday. Napoleon Lebon and Ker sensie, both chiefs of the insurrection, have been arrested. The rallying sign of the insurgents was a small osier wand that each of them kept conceal- ed in his sleeve, Those borne by the chiefs were forked at the end. Evidence has been obtained that besides their general plan of operation, the insur- gents had a revolutionary government organized. The military committee at the palace of the Tuileries, has already examined upwards of 300 prisoners. All of them were in possession of pieces of gold. Some of them had each five louis d’ors, « We saw,” says the Siecle, “a box full of mo-+ ney, which had been taken from the insurgents.” Several of the prisoners, when asked by the judges why they did not surrender before, replied: “ We had to earn the money which had been given us. None of them have, as yet, betrayed the names of the infamous instigators of this terrible plot.

Lamoriciere, and effected a junction with General Perrot, who come manded the troops in the faubourg St. Antome. The battalion of the National Guard beyond the cone !,were ordered to maintain their position un til fresh orders, The cannon and the howitzers arrived. They were placed in position, and ready to fire. The insurrection thus concentrated, was surrounded on all sides by imposing forces, and no doubt existed but that it would speedily be crushed. Gen. Cavaignac had ordered up a regi+ ment of engineers from Arras, with all the material necessary for a siege. All was, therefore, ready for a last attempt. General Lamoriciere, whose energy and activity were , Unremitting, and who, exposed himself io every danger, only waited for the attack in the fauboug St. Antone to commence. — General Cavaignac, whose prudence equalled his energy and firmness, wishing to avoid bloodshed, had sent a last summons to the insurgents to sur- render; their answer was anxiously expected; General Lamoriciere counted minutes; at last a message reached him from the Assembly, saying that the insurgents had surrendered, and that the fauburg St. Antoine was occupied by the National Guard ; and the troops, at this news—oflicers and soldiers—rushed around General Lamoriciere, uttering cries of Vive la Republic, pressed him in their arws, and thanked him for his noble and brilliant service. [From Second Edition of the European Times.] | Further accounts from Paris state that several | changes had taken place in the new Ministry. | Admiral Le Blane declined the office of Minister of Marme, and M.

Assassinations take place in great numbers in the quarters where the discontented population re- side, and generally at night, in the streets, The insurgents, although conquered, are by no means subdued ; and@it is not improbable but that they may attempt to renew the struggle. At pre- sent, however, they confine their attempts to poi- soning and secret murders. Courts martial were being held on the prisoners as rapidly as possible. At the meeting of the Assembly on Thursday, 3,000,000 frances were voted to the National Guard, | and 1,000,000 to the Garde Mobile. The son of | General Negrier was nominated sub-lieutant in the 7th regiment of the line, and a pension of 3000 francs a year was given to the widow, revertable | to the children of the General. : On one of the insurgents was found the follow- ing draft of a decree, written in pencil Article 1.—All the eitizeas who pay more than 200 francs in taxes, are deprived of their civil and politi cal rights for ter years, Article 2.—All the property, both real and personal, | belonging to citizens who have exercised public func- tions of any nature since 1815, is confiscated. Article 3.—Constitution of France is that of 1793, Article 4.—-The Army is disbanded. The Memorial de Rouen says, yesterday morn ing, when the roll of the liberated convicts in sur* viellance at Rouen were called over, it was found | that £00 were absent; this is a very significant | fact. The estimates of killed and wounded vary materially ; some accounts give 35,000 as the total on both sides, whilst others give only 10,000 ; the number will, we have no doubt, exceed 15,000 ; only 40,000 insurgents, it now apgpars, were en- gaged in the struggle. MisceHlancous Intelligence. The ministers had a majority of 15 upon the sugar question in the English Parliament. We learn that Vicenza had been retaken by the Italians, that Padua has capitulated to the Aus- trians, that Trieste has been placed in a state of blockade, and that the Lombard army has been defeated in an engagement near Verona. A formidable Chartist movement has been com- menced in Spain. Itis rumored that the Austrian army has been ordered to invade Prussia. There 1s little doubt that an immense force is on the march for Poland. There is a prospect for the speedy termination of the German war, and the establishment of peace. The draft of a new constitution has been prepared and is‘ikely to be approved of. ‘The disturbances, which broke out in Marseilles on the 22d ult., have been quelled. The departments of France, generally, are tran- quil. In Greece the rebellious disposition of a great The Danes still continue to make reprisals at sea upon Prussia. Late accounts justify the hope of a settlement of existing differences. In Ireland the armed movement goes on unabat- ed. Thousands are weekly flocking to the clubs, and government appears to be unable to devise a check. The League has not yet been construct ed, but its formation is daily looked for. The Jacobite press, headed by the Jrish Felon, revels in undisturbed sedition. Little doubt is now entertained by any party that a formidable physi- cal force movement will be made in the autumn. The general condition of England is pacific, all tendency to violence and tumultuous assem- blages of the working classes having altogether subsided. Commercial and Financial Intelligence. During the past week business has manifested no de- cided activity, though not visibly affected by the oe- currences which bave taken place on the Continent. ‘The astonishing calamities which have overtaken the Frenoh capital, have necessarily absorbed much of mercantile attention, to the disregard of trade engage. ments, our inen of business choosing rather to await the result of these movements, than to risk operations pending contingencies pregnant with influence, vital and important—the occurrence of events momentous The general feeling of trade has been confident, and the tone firm. In the manufacturing districts, though business has not been brisk, the temper of the market is buoyant, with an evident tendency to expand. The Markets, Loxnox Moxey Manker, June 30.—The money mar- ket continues easy, in the face of the European dis- turbances, and the increase of the precious metals is enormous, though much fluctuation took place.

In the share market, also, the settlement of the account is proceeding. The general tone of the mar- ket is better, principally owing, perhaps, to the gradual rise in console.

Holders, in consequence, show increased firmness. Fresh arrivals of flour, of superfine qualities, have ren« | lized our maximum quotation, but the several articles of breadstuffs have a drooping tendency, At the market yesterday, retailers operated steadily in flour, and though some parcels of Indian corn and meal were taken for Ireland, prices advanced but little, if any a¢ all, upon Tuesday's quotations.

Z. having strack up | on @ shoal, six or eight miles south of the Nantucket South Shoal, and of her arrival at Boston in distress, We have since then seen the published “ Preliminary Sketch,” of the hydrographical determinations in that quarter, by the U, S. Coast Survey, under the superin- tendence of Prof. A. D. Bache, and it is evident that the E. Z. struck upon the “ New South Shoal,” which was discovered by the hydrographical party there, in 1816, and we believe under the command ef Lieut. Davis, of the U.S, Navy. This shoal, lying six miles outside of the one known as the “Nantucket South Shoal,” has removed the limit of safe navigation to that extent farther South, It would be difficult to find a spot where such an in terruption could be more ineonveuiontly placed, oF where it would more generally concern th domestic trade of the country. neha? 4 Being wholly out of sight of the land, it is the more dangerous and the less easily avoided. No vessel should. sail from this port without one of the printed sketehes of the Coast Survey, or at least a chart on which the government survey is Inid down, as far as it has gone, They are to be found at the various nautical stores, and the former are furnished to ship masters gratis, It appears from the report of the E. Z., that her posis tion was well known; had she, therefore, been supplied. with one of these charts, she would have escaped the imminent peril to which she was Sxposed. We urge the great importance of this discovery for tho preser+ vation of life and property, and for the occasion it af- fords us of noticing the valuable labors of this great national enterprise, which having bestowed upon the harbor of New York a new channel of approach, is now engaged in executiugysimilar services for the other parts of the coast.

Tho par- cause were formerly husband and wife, Mrs, O. having obtained a divorce from her husband and | custody of their children, The defendant entered ia- | to abond, conditioned for the payment of $8 a ‘week for the maintenance of the children, and also conditioned to pay for their schooling. ‘The declaration assigned | two breaches—one for refusing to pay the weekly sti- | pend of $8 per week, and the other a refusal to pay @ | school bill. The defendant pleaded a tender of $46; and then proceeded to show that tho eldest boy had left the mother and came to reside with defendant and refused to return to her. It was therefore insisted that he was not Wund to pay for his maintenance auy longer. In regard to the second breach, it was said the defendant had no notice of it until this suit was breught. It was insisted that the Court should view the defendant as 4 guarantor or securit: id in that view he could not be sued until after judgment and execution against the principal. The Court allowed the plaintiff to take judgment for $157, subject to the exception of defendant’s counsel.
