An incident, which has had no example in the proceedings of the National Assemblies of France, or, I may say, of any country, took place on Satur- day last, at the Chamber. The facts are as fol- lows :—M. Mauguin, a representative of the people, ‘was arrested in the morning and imprisoned at ‘Clichy, on execution of a warrant rendered against him, by a judgment of the Tribunal of Commerce. ‘The arrest was known with the rapidity of a thun- der shock, among all the representatives, and, as soon as the session began, M. de La Rochejaque- Jein ascended the tribune, and directed his ques- taons to the minister of justice. According to the ‘36th article of the constitution of 1848, the body of @ representative 1s inviolable, unless in a criminal ase; and im all cases an arrest caanot take place without the authorization of the house. The only explanation of the facts, the only reading of the article of the constitution, seemed to be suffi- @ient to obtain the immediate release of M. Mau- guin, and M. de Va’ iemeuil explained it with very energetic eloquence, assisted also by M. de Labou- Ke. The minister of justice, M. Rouher, did all ia his power to protect the judge who had pronounced the sentence against the representative, M. Mau- guin, but his t him, as it was proved by the vote. Accord- aguine: imgly M. Base, who is the Questeur of the espe went to Clichy, and, despite the legal refusal of the chief of the prisom, gave to M. Mauguin /a clef des champs. This incident created much sensation in Paris. The eflair of Allais, the policeman, has been eoncluded: he was sentenced to one year’s impri- sonment and a fine of 300 francs. Astor Mr. Von, the Commissary of Police to the Assembly, who, according to all probabilities, was to be dismissed by his chief,he has been maintained in his capacity, im spite of the ill wishes of M. Carlier and the ministry. This was decided'y a slap given by the “Assembly upon the face of M. Baroche, our Minis- ter of the Interior. It was first thought that he would resent the ineult, and consider it as personal. This is not the c the press in genere will take another turn. Mr A. Fould, who isto keep his portfewille Messrs.

Fox and Henderson will continue in pos session of the gigantic premises, whieh, with such marvellous rapidity, they have reared. It will be recollected thai, at first, open spaces, intended to form refreshment courts, were contemplated, and that the extent of gallery accommodation requik site remained undetermined. The commissionere have now decided to fill up those epaces like the rest of the building, and to have another gallery— hence the delay. By the end of this month the whole structure will have been completed, and the duous task of arranging the detailsof the exhi- ition Will then be regularly entered on. In the Meantime ubstenually the balding has been 80 nearly finished on the last day of the year, the @ontractors invited the members of the Royal So- @iety of Arts to witness the progress made by them —to hear the scientific and mechanical appliances by which so vast aad novel u etructure has been reared elaborately detailed, and to have the meaas of judging how far the Crystal Palace will feifil the grand object for which it was designed Professor Cowper, in drawing attention to those parts of the building which were most worthy of exemination, ewid that he had besitated to accept the office, under the impression that Mr Pexton would have been the most suitable person to do 80, but that gemileman bad already delivered a lecture On the orgin of the building; and as Mesers.

People looked and said, “Whata slight building!” The butlding was a light one, it was true; bat the difference lay between the words slight and light, and the letter “8” ought to have been omitted As an illustration of the strength of hollow celumns, the learned Professor showed that two pieces of quill, 1 inch in height, Would support a weight of nearly? cwt.

Adverting to the means by which the edifice had been erect- ed, and to common remark that there was no scaffolding, and nothing to be seen but a few poles, pulleys, aud ropes, the Professor commented on the striking simplicity of design in an edifice which in its progress itself supplied nearly all the scaflold- ing required for it. He then adverted brietly to the Paxton gutters, which were made by hand tor the Chatsworth Conservatory, and explained the ingenious contrivance by a groove on the outer side of each gutter for catching the moisture con- densed within the roof of the building. The gut- ters were now cut entirely 5 machinery, con- structed from the designs of Mr. Fox. He also | drew attention to the machinery for making sash bars, for painting and for drilling. Referriug to | the general design of the building, he said that it was first intended to.be uniform, but Messrs. Fox and Henderson suggested a transept, as it would greatly strengthen the whole fabric, and they | also ‘advised that that portion of the edi- | fice should be crowned with an arched | roof,j overtopping the lofty trees which grow there. By modies the Professor explained the “thrust and “tension”? to which an arch of the kind was subjected, and he also minutely described the way in which the wooden ribs ofthe arch were formed, and the manner in which they were raised in pairsatatime. Teehnically, the ribs are call- ed “ principals,” and are composed of four layers of wood, laid flat on each other, the two central ones four inckes thick, and the two sides two inches. it, shaped to the arch, and bolted to it, held the | whole together, and st was found that when the | principals were set up in pairs, with their purlings and d‘agonal tes, the friction alone was safficient to prevent them spreading out. The weight of e. pair of principals raised, was eight tons; and the first idea oftaking them up in that mannet,was suggested by Mr. Wilbee, Messrs, Fox & Henderson’ agent. ‘Thatidea was subsequently —— by Mesers Fox & Henderson into making each pair of principals its own traveller when raised to the required height end thus the whole work of forming the arch roof of the transept was carried forward with the utmost simplicity and despatch. Some of the na- tions abroad were inthe habit of plantiag trees of liberty, which very soon dried up, withered and decayed. The English people were not very fond ofemblems; but he could not help aren that these were real trees of liberty, as they proved that we did not live under @ despotic goverament. The | people wished that these trees should be preserved, though 1,000 trees had been cut down in Keasing- ton gardens afew years ago withont the slightest complaint beirg made. John Bull, however, had set his mind on retaining these trees, whether they speiled the building or pot, aud there accordingly they remained, a standing proof of the atteauon which the government paid to the will of the people. He thought he might even carry his imagery @ little further, for these trees might be said to represent the rights and interests of the va- rious classes of the country, all that was required being that they should be so lopped and pruned that one should not overshadow the other; while the arch above might be compared to their glorious constitution, which wes comprehensive enough to protect and include ell. At the close of the lecture, the learned professor, closely waited on ty his audience, proceeded to the difierent points of the building, und, on the spot, explained the hydraulic press for ape. the gir- dere, the patent cranes, the travelling scefluldiag, the punching and cutting machines, the mode ot preparing the Paxton gutters, the circular saws for Cutting the gutters pot sash bars, the drilling ma- chine, the printing machine, the glazing, the tents for glazing, the system of ventilation by louvre boards, and the coustruction of the transept. Lo his tour amidst these mechanical marvels, the learned professor was most eagerly—it may almost be seid pertinaciously--followed by the members of the Society of Arts, who clambered dexterously actoss piles of boarding, and balaaced themselves expertly upon ji saws and wheels revolving with the mos: formida- ble rapidity, aad accomplished many other feats of reckless daring, all with the laudable am- bition of becoming acquainted with the princi- ples of mechbanichs, and o€ showrng their an- xiety that the forthcoming exhibition should be worthy not only of the country at large, but also of John street, Adelphi. There remains now hardly any room for dou'x that the Crystal Palace will satisfy all, or nearly all, the requiremeats for which it was constructed, and that it will prove the greatest wonder of the collection that it is in- tended toenshrine. | spoon neg its close prox- imity to the highWay prevents the propo. tions of its principal facade from ‘oeing ereugat seen and appreciated by the thousands who daily flock to as certain ite progress ued scan ite vast dimensions, The south end of the transept, however, has new been completed, and presents « singularly imposing | appearance. in the broad daylight and with win- dow tax recollections about him, one can hardly bring himself to beleve that such an expanse of glaewwork is real; that in Eogland so dariog end wholesale an admission of the sun’s rays into eay building should have bern succesefuly attempted ; and that at last oer clouded murky» darkness visible of our buildings, show ceive help and cure from the hai ds of the glazier Bat, striking as the internal view of the transep on the south durmg the day, it is still more se at night, when, as once or twice aweek happens, a huge bonfire of shavings is lighted, and every hae and column in the building is illuminated by the flane.

At half past four o’elock the bell tolls, and imme diarely, almost like a fleht of birds, the work people rettie down betore the offices of the con’ tere.

The following letter from the President of the United States precludes, we regret to say, at least for the present, the hope that London will, during the coming exhibition, be honored by the presence of the executive head of the great republic. Mr. Stell, the gentleman to whom the letter is address- ed, 18 an American, who hes been for upwards of twenty years resident in this towatry, during most of which time ue has been ut the head of one of the largest and most respectable commission houses in Manchester, engaged in the American trade. Although seeing much in this country to admire and respect, and being himself held in the highest eateem by the community amongst whom he re- sides, he is one of the few Americans who, after a somewhat lengthened contact with European society, continue to bold fast by their political principles, or toretain any afiection for thedemocra- cy of their country. Coufessedly opposed to Pre- sident Fillmore in politics, yet anxious that every possible step should be taken to draw closer the ties which bind the two countries together, he took the liberty of suggesting to the President that the Exhibition would present a fitting opportunity for a visit from the head of the repubiic to the capital of fatherland. In commoa with others, voth English and American, he believed that such an event would pave the way for a visit fromher Majesty to the city of New York, the citizens of which would vie with each other in giving her 4 rapturous and national reception. It is not the first time that ru- mor has assigned to her Majesty an intention to take a trip to her North American proviaces—and should che ever fulfil that intention, her easiest ana safest way of reaching Canada would be by first proceeding to New York It is obvious how much such interchanges of courtesy on the part of the respective heads of the two nitions would tend to strengteen the bonds of sympathy aud good feel ng between them. Frem the followimg, however, which is the Presideat’s reply,it would appear that the first step ‘owards such a result is not likely to be immediately taken :— Wasnixoron, December 1, 1950. Wittiam 8.

No time could, therefore, be more favorable for the temporary abseace of the President. But, as we have already said, he knows his own business best, and all that we can now assure him is, that we shall be delighted to,welcome him whenever be may choose to come. He has already secured for himeelfthe respect and confi- dence of the thinking portion of the public on this sioe of the Atlantic, so that both on tndividual and national grounds we can bespesk for him a cordial receptien.

[From the London Ecenomist) In our last number we instituted an inquiry into the comparative production of the precious metals at diflerent periods since the beginning of the pre- gent century, from which it appeared that in 1840 the production was £8, 142,274; in 1848, prior to the discovery of California, £11,027,237, (che whole increese having arieen in Russia); and in 1850, £21,800,000, ot which no less than £10,000,000 was contributed from the entire new source—Califor- nia. But that inquiry also showed that the rela- tive quantities of gold and silver produced at those different periods had greatly changed dch of the dates mentioned they were as followe:— . Propor.

An enormous increase in the quanti- ty of the prectous metals produced. 2d A very reat increase in the proportion of gold to silver. Jompared with 1840, the annual produce of the mines in 1860 had increased more than 150 per cent, and even withia the last two — the increase has been nearly 100 per cent. And whereas goid repreeented barely 16 per cent of the whole quanti- ty in 1840, in 1548 it represented nearly 38 per cent, and in 1850 no less than 66 per cent. This change in the relative proportions of the two metals has begn caused entirely by the combined eflects of Ruseia aud Californie. The supplies of goid from Russia had already become large in 1840, and in- desorrpsion whieh we preia @ recent number, of effect of those aj jons upon pills oxdimage on England held by consaetiat has ere. But, however much nsion and specula- tion may have contributed to the present state of excl and the relative price of the metals, we think no one can doubt, if their production is to continue at the same ratio, and im the same pro- pertion to each other ag in 1850, that a considerable permanent change must take place—I, im the per- menent relative value of the two metals ; 2, in the value of the precious metals together in their relation to other commodities. The probability and the consequences of such results we will eon- sider separately. ‘Whatever doubt may exist as to whether the re- cent nse in the price of silver in England, expressed in gold, or fall in the price of gold on the Continent, as expressed in silver, and the went fall in the exchanges between England and the Conti- nent, have been caused by the altered proportion of silver and gold already produced and brought to market, we think there ean be no doubt entertained that, if their production is to continue for any num- ber of years the same as it has been ia ,1850, when not only the entire production of the metals was nearly doubled, but when gold represented 65 per cent of the whole, a very considerable permanent change must take place in the relative price of the two metals. But then, before we come to this con- clusion, we have two questions to determine. 1. Will the production of gold continue at its present ee t the production of silver not also great- crease pi the first place, how long Russia and California will continue to supply sushquentities of gold as they have done in 1850,we weuld not venture to predict, after all that has happened in the history of mining. But this we are bound to si fter carefully con- sidering all the evidence which has been furnished as to the capabilities of California, after the expe- rience which we have had of Russia for the last two years, to say nothing of the accounts which reach us go often of other new sources for the pro- duction of gold, we think there 13 every reason to expect, at least for some years to come, supplies equal at least to those of 1: If such, ther, prove to be the case, and if the quantity of silver produced shall continue as stationary as it has done of late years, then there can be little doubt that a closer approximation must take place between the two metals. Admitting these premises, some have argued against such a result, on the grounds that a largersupply of gold would lead to 4 more extensive use of it—first, us a circulating medium of exchange, and for banking purposes; and, eg for the manufacture of utensils, ornaments, ete. ut, 80 far, experience is against the sup- posed extension of the ae one for banking urpores. On the contrary, its being produced in jarzer quantities, 80 as to risk the maintenance of its value, has threatened its entire rejection from some of the largest commercial countries in Eu- rope It has already thrown upon the market, from the Bank of Holland alone, the sum of £4,250,000, held in gold, of which they have succeeded in sell- ing £1,750,000, leaving £2,500,000 yet to be dis pored of, as favorable opportunuies offer. As to the expecied extension of the use of gold for ordi- nery purposes, the only reason for such a change would be its reduction of value. Such en in- created consumption would no doubt modify and Jimit the reduction of price; but that is a condition which,to some extent, must precede the extension of its use. But will the production of silver continue sta- tionary ? For it is plain that the mere increase of the production of gold wili not necessarily alter the relative price of Ube two metals, but that such an increase in the production of silver may aiso take place as will maintain the relative value pretty much where it This we think not altogether an unlikely result’ Tatthere will be a very ex- tensive increase in the production % silver, what- ever muy be the fate of gold, we have no doubt. Those who are at ali acquainted with the history of Mexico and the mining countries of South Ame- rice, wre Well aware of the great influence which the price of quicksilver has exercised over the working of the mes, end the quantity of silver pro- duced fiom them. California promises to furnish an unlimited supply of this material, so important in mu ing. A letter from Mr Burnett, the Goveraor of Cahtornia,has recently been published at Washing- ton, in which he says:--* The quicksilver mine of New Almaden, within twelve miles of this place, is valued at several millioas of dollars. Ina fewdays, Mr Forbes informs me, they will have 26 retorts in operation, and will extraet 8,000 Ibs. daily, worth thom $6,000 to $8,000—more than 2,000,000 annual- ly. ‘This is only one of the several mines, but itis the largest.” ‘The eflects of this new supply of quicksilver are already beginning to be felt. We hear from the western coast of South America that consideratle quanuties have already been received there, that @ great reduction of price is expected, and that already arrangements are being made, both there and in Mexico, to re-open many mines which have long been closed only on account of the high price of quicksilver. The great demand and the hgh price which have recently been ex- periesced in Evrope for silver, will, no doubt, fur- ther eumulate the production. Should this view of the subject prove correct, then, while there may not be any very important change in the relative price of silver and gold, there will, at least, bea very large merease in the quanity of both, and consequently @ slow but certain reduction in their creased rapidly in every year up to 1848; while the supplies of silver remained nearly stationary, but without producing any perceptible ditlereace in the relative values of the two metals. It must, however, be borne in mind that, so long 28 opinion remained unaltered with regard to their relative values, a very great change might teke place in the actual quantities held in stock without effecting their relative values, owing | to the peculiar purposes for which gold and silver are used. One of the chief of those uses is the large reserves held throughout Europe in particular, by the great banks of each country. With the ex- ception of the Bank of Hamburgh, where, we be- | tended to follow the Chili, Perv, Bolivia, &e., as but little epecie thence | now finds ite way to Europe by way of Uape Horn. lieve, the entire deposit has always been kept in silver, the two metals have been used almost indis- criminately for that purpose. For example, even the Bank of Exgland, though bound to pay all her liabilities in gold, is yet authorised by the act of 1844 to hold silver in the issue department, in the proportion of one-fourth of the amount of gold bul- lion and coin held at any particular time ; and in practice, until lately, the Bank of Englund has al- ways held a large quantity of silver. In the year 1846 the silver in the bank w. high at one time ae 2,727,001. Again, the Ba: France had even better reasons for holding either of the metals in fluctuating quentitier, and receiving them indiseri- preven A ¢ though, practically, silver is the cur- ral rency o! ce, yet gold is also a legal tender at a fixed proportion. In May, 1848, the amount of bullion heid by the nk of France and ite branches was only 3,673,000/.; recently it bas exceeded 18,000,000; and in that great increase there is no doubt gold and silver nave been received indiscriminately. Again, im the Bank of Holland, where, ull lately, gold and silver were a legal tender, gold bed accumulated to the amount of £4,250,000, and at this moment, not- withstanding the recent chenge of the law, is held tothe smount of £2,500,000 Again, in the great Bank of St. Petereburgh, though its notes are payable only in silver, yeta large portion of the £20,000,000 to £22,000,000 of bullion held by that ertebliehment hes been m gold. [t will\. re membered that at one time, in 1947, the Kussian vernment cold in Parisand London no less than 000,000 of gold, end purchased public stocks. ‘The same mey be said of other public and private hanks throughout Europe. So long, therefore, as id and eriver continued to be receive d tndiserumi- nately by these various baok fixed relative rates—-so long as the large reserves of bulion held from time to tune were allowed to conset of vary- ing proportions of gold and silver—it ts clear that the actual aggregate quantities ef eace might fluctu- | ete very materially without produce 14 pereepti- ble change in their relative values Teke the Bank ot Ergiand as an exemple. On the 12h of September, 140, that establishment held in the issue depart- ment bublion to the amount of £15,864.960, which consisted of £13,154,283 in gold. aod £2,710,077 ia silver. At the beginning ot 1860 the nank held bolhen ia the issue department amounting to £16, 238 510, but which was comprieved of £15,961,233 in gold, end only £277,077 m silver; thus showing that while £2,455,.00 hed been withdrawn from the benk reserve in silver, £2,707,000 had been added to it in ae pditia obvious that similar fo hanges in the pre jonsof gold and silver may hat aken place (hroughout Hurepe Yet, during th.® Whole period, and for many months afterwards, no pereeptible alieration was experienced in the re- Jatiy'¢ value of gold and silver, although there can be ne) doubt the relative quentties held of the two metals underwent a considerable change.

[From the London Times, Dec. 27.) The Benk of Ergiand have announced, to day, Qn merease in their rate of discount, from 24 to 3 percent. ‘This. measure was unexpected, and ated considerable excitement in the various merkers. The rate has been 24 per cent tor about thirteen months, namely, from the 22d November, 1549; pevieurly to which, ithad stood at three per cent for abouta year. Judging from the last returns, as co d with those for November, 1549, when the rate of 24 per ceat was considered expedient, there were but slight signs to lead the public to an- Ucipate any change; but these returi nly extend up to the Mthof December, and it ia understood thet ence that date a considerable decrease has taken place in bullion. Then, however, a reduc- tion hed been going on for three weeks, amouat- ing, 19 the aggregate to £400,000; and, although this was not highly important, it was more fo thaa it appeared, because, under ordinary circum: t this time there is alweys a large and y inereese. In the returns for the week preceding the re- duction to 24 percent in November last year the bullion wae £16,037,690. Onthe 14th instant it was only £217 660 below that amount, the total bemg £15,¢20.1230 The notes unemployed ia November, 1849, were £11,027,655, and in the last return they were still as nigh as £10,902,535. It will be seen, therefore, that the subsequent re- duction ip the stock of builion duriog the last few days must heve been the cause of the alteratloa decided upon this morning. The public will be aware that this reduction has been oecesioned by the transmission of gold to quent upon the question being raised of the desirab!eness of aboliehiog that metal as a legal tender in France. The French merchants and others having payments to receive in Eagland, heve called in the wmonnat while it is ia their power to get it comed; and the Englieh houses with pay- ments to make im France, have been equally eager to ship gold, toavert the possibility of being re quired to pay in silver at a premium, which would be the case if the talked of alteration should be decided upon. ‘ is being the chief cause of the movement been going on, it is easy to define its In the firet place, the drain upon us can "reach tra- limits only be to the extent of the claims of dete or capitalists on this country, either in the thepe of trade belances, credits, or convertible in- vestments; end, in the next, it can only continue util the commission now siting on the currency question shail have iseved their report. If the de- cision, about which little doubt is entertained, not wivhetending the panic in Paris, should be against #py alteration. then the whole movement will have been unnecessary, and the gold will come back by degrees as matters resume their ordinary chaanel.

(From Galignani’s Messenger of Dec. 30.) is It has see been stated, on the authority of # Lyon’s paper, that an aile; ed miracle recently took place in the church of St. Saturnin, canton and ar- rondissement of Apt, department of the Vaucluse, consisting in the flowing of blood from a picture re~ presenting the descent of Jesus Christ from the cross. ¢ Pouvoir publishes a letter, dated the 24th, from the Sub-Prefect of apt, M. Grave, om the subject, in which he makes the following extras ordinary statements :— * About the middle of the month he learned that the population of the district were greatly occupied by the statement that a girl of Saignon, named Rosette Tamisier, long noted for her piety, had, while engaged in prayer in the chapel of St. Satur~ nin, meryr and Archbishop of Toulotss, seen, touched, and kiseed blood which flowed from the wounds in Christ’s body, in the painting placed above the altar, representing the descent from the cross. It was added, that this ‘* supernatural fact” had been repeated on three following days. beetle after, the Sub-Prefect received, cept the Mayor, the copy of minutes drawn up by the lieutenant of gendarmerie, in which that functionary states, that having on the 16th, at the invitation of the curé, gone to the church, he, having with the cure got ona table close te the picture, distinctly saw ‘blood flow from the wound by the side,and those of the two hande and the left foot.” The blosd on the right side consisted, says the lieutenant’s report, of “eight inthe form of pearls, of the size of a little pea;’’ on the right hand “‘it formed aline of six cen timetresin lensth, ending ia a drop;” on the left hand and the left toot the blood “was less abund~ ant, but still sufficient to trace a line from the two ints of three or four centimetres, also terminat+ ing ina drop.” Six or seven hundred persons were present at the time and saw all this. The euré then asked Dr. Clement, who was present, to wipe the blood away with a piece of white linen. ‘This wes done, and eleven marks of blood remain- edonthe linen. Afterwards the flowing of the blood recommenced, but was allowed to coagulate on the pamtiung. That ‘no doubt might exist az 10 the reality of the prodigy,” the lieutenant eaus- ed the upper part of the altarand the painting to be remeved, and ascertained that ‘it was absolutely impossit le thatthe least thing could have penetra» ted the interior of the alter or behind the paiting ; moreover, the wall behind the punting Was covered with a cement pere fectly intact in all parts.” In consequence ot this marvellous statement, the sub-perfect went on the 17th to St. Saturnin. The cure wae absent, but, in company with the mayor, Dr. Clement, end M. Gay, advocate, he visited what he evils the * miraculous painting.” These gen- tlemen stated to him that they had witnessed the oozing of the blood, as stated by the lieutenant of endermerie, and caused him to remark the coague fates biood on the painting. At this the su>prefect says ** he felt profouad emotion.” He then weat to visit the young girl; he found that she lived an inn kept by a female cousin. “ She was in state t suflering; her appearance was sickly; her eyes rolled mysteriously in their much-developed orbit, and reemed to lose themselves in a clouds their expression was full of melancholy; her body | extraordinarily thin; her attitude excessively mogeet; humility was painted in all her move-+ ments, end reproduced in all her words; she ex- ong herself with great proprieiy, and spoke ‘reuch more correctly than most uneducated persons” To all the sub-prefect’s questions the dameel replied with great intelligence. ‘ God,” she eaid, “had effected this miracle for the con- version of sinners, and he had cially chosen use, four years ago, this low the witness of a great scandal. Her conduct,” she added, “had been outrageously cajumoiated, as also that of a priest; but she had not demauaed reparation fromGod.”._ On the 20th, the sub prefect, accemponied by M. Guillidert. Juge |’ Instruction, and M Jacques, substitute of the Procureur of the Republic, went to St. Satur- nin; the Archbirhop of Avignon had arrived on the previous evening. After paying his respects to the prelete, the sub-prefect went, in company with Dr. C Bernard, an eminent physician of Apt, to- wards the chure As they were ascending the hill on which it tituated, they heard the belt rng. “ This,” says the funetionary, ‘ was the signal of the commencement of the manifestation. ot the prodigy.” He was much vexed at it, ag he was desirous of being in the chapel ‘ before the appearance of the ooang of the blood.’ But they hurried on. A number of persons were assembled sround the church. The feuré met him; he an~ nounced that the oozing of the blood had com- menced, but that he could not open the church uptil the arrival of the Archbishop. However, the sub-prefect insisted, and, at last, the curé let him in. He took with him Dre. Bernard and Clement. The high altar was hghted with wax candles; at one corner was Rozette Tamisier, kneeling in prayer, with her hands crossed, and her head leaning on the altar. She appesred completely absorbed in devotion. “TI ascended the table of the altar,” says the sub- pretect, “accompanied by Dr. Clement: Texam- ined the wounds by the light of a wax-sandle; £ - ascertained that from those of the right hand, the two fret, and heart, blood oozed.
