The weather is ex- cvedingly fine, and should it so continue until Sun- day, the largest religious gathering ever held im this country may be witnessed at Shrewsbury. From its contiguity to Baltimore, much dirorder and fighting y be reasonably counted on. The exe mination of Griffith, charged with being con- cerned in the murder of Harry Hammond, was brought toa close at Belleair on Wednesday afternoon, Quite a bumber of witnesses were examined, but no material facts elicited, except that Griffith and Stump were in the neighberhoed of Hummond’s tarm on the day of the murder, in a covered wagon or buggy belonging to the acoured; that two men, armed, apparently gun- ners, were in the immediate vicinity of finepesend’a house; thet accused related publicly the manner in which Jobn W itiam Stun: minitted foul and cowardly deed, aud had in his posseseion a petition to the Governor, praying for a nol’ prosegué for Stump.

The Final Days of the Assembly's Session--Law Sor the Theatres—Restoration of the Bourbons— Chrneosvier and Hautpool—Railway Projects Discvssed—State of Holy—Nuples--Schleswig- Holstein—Honor Paid to an American Sea Cap- tain-—Law of the Press, &c. The vacations of the National Assembly will be- gin in ten days; and one who pays now a visil to the French House, retires with the conviction that our representatives have only the fear of being obliged to remain one day longer at their posts, so quickly are they voting upon matters which are not only important, but also worthy of being carefully examineé. The two sessions of Tuesday and Wed- nesday, at which I was present, made me remem- ber the time when I was at school, waiting impa- tiently for the “commencement” which would deliver one from all studies and obedience to the regulations. The bu of the navy and treasury were voted with much repidity, aad finally the ea- semble of the budgets was adopted by a majority of 398 votes against 155. Another important aw was also voted. It was the law reguiating the liberty of theatres. For @ long time, since IX, the theatres of Pana enjoyed the greatest fre , and, with the exception of the play called * Rome,” exhibiting the priacipal events of the Pope, Pius Nonus, which was pro- hibited by the government, uo obstacle was ever put upon a pley of eny kind. You may feelassured, that since | arrived in Paris, I have ‘se on the boards of our theatres, a great low of plays which were of the most incendiary kind, either relatively to polities, or on account of the bad moral ex- hibited in their tebleen<. Acapital fault with us Frenebmen is, that we cannot restraia our licen- tiousness, and that, when we are allowed, to bite a mouthful of + cule,” we swallow the whole of it. The}. which was voted, had for ite object to sub- mit abl the plays received by managers to the pre- vious authorization of the ier of the Lateri is, and of the prefects in the provinces. Such was in pore er duri ign of the Bour- bone, and of is Philip annihilated ia 1848 by the republic. Now, it will be replaced ~ 4 the republic! Derison! Comedy! Who woul thet we are fit to be republicans ? ‘Two years have been snilicient to prove ttt city” for us is sinonimous with “ licentious- pd that, like young boys, we are obliged to urse or a schoolmaster. For the tutere, power will rule the French t’eatres, and, Wf Moliere was still alive, he could not have “ Tartotle ” performed without the conseat of M. aroche, and, no doubt, such permission would be on account of the altusi: which could be mude to so niaay Weather-cock statesmen of our epoch, In a month from dete, there will be a duicaw established at the Ministry of luterior, to which will be attached men having power to eur- tail the manuscripts, to be present at the rehearsals, to shorten er render longer the petticoats of our actresses, to repress the arlades and faux pas of the dunsevges.

There was much talk on Tuesday afiernoon ia the coudoirs of the National Assembly, about a new Fropesition of M. Cretoa, which had for its object to demand the abrogation of the laws relative to the exile of the irbons of the bray ainé and cadette 1 was told that it was the "83 in- tention of M. Creton to present it before the closing of the National Assembly, and I have no donbt, though public opinion is much in fivor of the law, that it will create a great exci'emext in the House, and all over the couniry. Nevertheless, | think that the adoption of such a proposition would be the best means to restrain impatient ambition, and to prevent h spoken ef coupe @etat. Then, we should know at once if France wishes to renin ian etate of Dlic, and, in case of the affirmative, we would select for the future, candi- dates for the Eresigeney. among whoin France could make a choice, without being ut each ia- stant, threatened with a pame, Fr rumor sp! at the National Assembly is, that Generel Preval, at the request of Louis Napeleon, has written a mémoire, by which the respective position and powers of General Chan- garnier, es commander of the whole French army, and Genera! d'Llautpool, #9 Minister of War, were determined |, ua well ¥ the laws tary tradition.
