NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MARCH Vist to Galignani’s since the Serew has been Put on—Albert Smith's Skit against the French Army Demonstrations—French Spies Bonneted in Leicester Square, dc., de We are living in strange times, although ghosts and men armed cap d-pic no longer walk abroad. The appointment of the Marquis of Cianricarde to 8 seat in the government bas caused more legitimate and universal disgust than even the passing of the Alien bill by the command of Louis Napoleon and his colonels. Down must Palmerston | go, with the whole of his ministerial crew, into the very depths of degradation, if the Marquis does not speedily quit the goverament bark. We really beg to think with old Brabantio that we shall next have bond slaves and pagans inofice. Our good Queen is said to be much annoyed atthe appointment of a convicted card sharper as one of her ministers. Worse, much worse, remains behind. If pos gible, two more discreditable appointments have been made—one of a Mr. D. , au unmistakeable Israelite, the son of a notorious Bum Baliff, the other, of a sai disani hobiemaa, also of Heleraic connexion, the Marquis of L—-—a Mr. D—-—, the first, has been appointed a Queen's Messenger on the recommendation of the Marquis of Clanricarde, bis qualifications being his marriage with Miss O'Neil, who is the daughter of the O'Neil aasociated with the noble and honorable Marquis inthe well remem- bered gambling plant upon Mr. Auldjo, where that gentle- man was successfully bled to the tape of ha'f « plum. Mr O'Neil, a newly appointed Cabinet minister, is related too, It is currently re ‘that if Mr. D——— ia really married to Miss O'Neil, our police courts will very shortly take the matter hand touching the existence in healt sh bereavement of Mme. D———,atormer teacher of dancing, and along resideat in the vicinage of Grosvernor Square. Im counection with theese matters questions of a very unpleasant nature will be asked in the Lords and Com- mons; for the men of honor now holding the sppoint- ments of Queen’s Messengers threaten to resign should they be compelled, in virtue of their office, to associate on afooting of familiarity with Mr. D., who, apart from all we have said, has been thrice an insolvent, and once convicted under the police laws. The second, and another Clanricarde nomination, has been made by catspaw Lord Clarendon, and the Jew Marquis is worse than any cheva- Tier d'industrie you could rake from the regions below. The bright light of truta must be poured in upon these dark ana loathsome doings We are all agog, and truth to tell, tolerably ner- yous in regard to the mouster meeting which is to come off next Suotay im Hyde Park. Many of the papers advertive it, and sumiry indi. viduals are parading the public thoroughfares and dis- tributing bandbills. There is to be no epeechifying or noise: everything is (they say) to be managed peaceably and by siguals. Only imagiue the digit and arm tele. grapbiog, and the winking, and—the pocket picking! Rare ha: vest for our swellmobsmen. Thave just returned from Paris, and while there paid my accustomed visit to Galignani’s, when, not flading many of the London papers, I made, John Bull-like, enqui- ries for them, and was only auswered mysteriously by the official in attendance to tue effect that *‘he could not ac count for the delay ”—suppression he meant ‘a curious looking spectasled old fellow pretending to read in the coruer of the room, mere like a spy than a pater- familias. Albert Smith has circulated the following witty lines touching the Alien bill: — LE NOUVEAU PIFF-PAFF DE MOSS00. From the amended version of ‘Les Huguenots,” a3 or- dered by the Moniteur to be sung in future at all repre- sentations of that opera. The Emperor knows nothing about it, and will be 30 sorry, you can’t think, when he finds it has got into the government organ. Dedicated to those glorious French regiments who alone won the battles of Alma, Inkermann and everything else ia the Crimea, and are uow coming over to take England. A bas leurs ferames A vendre!

When this queen of cities was a rude collection of huts inhabited by the Parisii, the Romans found the inhabi- tants holding high festival, with dances and warlike songs, while a bullock, covered with light branches, was led or driveo by vencrable priests and their attendant youths to the altar of their God for sacred immolation. As the mythology of the Roman eagles gradually supplanted the ruder worship of the Gauls, the ox, with his garlanded forehead and gi@Pd horns, still performed the chief role in the appointed sacrifice in the Temple of Jove; and when azain this strange mythology, with all its beauteous errors» coded to @ faith whose canon was the ont great atone meot made in the person of the Son of God, the Roman hiearchy, which skillfully availed itself of so many hea. then altars and heathen rites, and converted them to Catho- Lic usages, did not overlook the anoual procession of the fat ox in the gradually expanding metropolis of Gaul, and Ordained that the animal, which, from the suoculeat food it afforded, and its peculiar identification with man’s carnivirous propensitice, was an adequate representation of the flesh, with all its sin and temptation, should walk the streets, and finally bleed on the eve of the day when al] humanity should do penanoe in mourning and fasting for forty daysas a fit pre paration for the annual observance of the Saviour s death who was the founder of the new faith. Centuries rolied on aad the Bovuf Gras continued \ts annual perambulations. Al! Paria, from the highest functionaries, the moet renowned nobiesse, to the meanest inbabitant, turned out of their Lomes to give it shout and welcome; when suddenly a new light shone o'er the epirit of iss dream, and the gigaa- tic events about the period of ted Kings and Queens, aud princes and nobles, whose far de scent was lost in the obscurity of time—arrested for some tea years the immemorial procession of the Boruf Gras.

Under the second, or, to speak more diplomaticaily, the third Bonaparte, the Boral Gras was again recalled (nto ex istonce; but it i# evident that every year it comes less to be considered a religious than an an agricultural cere mony. and by the importance the government endeavors to lend it in this particular it is quite possible that new life may be imparted to this ancient institution. ‘As Catholicism wok a plume from tue wing of heathen ism and Druidiem, agriculture may well condescend to take one from the church's sagacity.

The si for generally after one o'clock were closed, and those great thoroughfares, the Champs Elysées and the boulevards, soon became almost impassable to the ordi- nary traveller. The day was fine, but a biting wind blew from the north: yet no one of that vast multitude seemed annoyed at being detained in an open or partially closed carriage by the half bour together, while ped lounged and laughed as if gaily killing the time at acrowded soiree. By and bye, however, a sound of horns is heard tantaring &@ wretchedly discordant reveillé, accompanied by other inetruments, making a fearful confusion sounds. In an instant that huge mags of spectators is swayed in one direction; the carriages, unable to stir, are yet anima. ted into motion by the inmates, whose heads, thrust through the windows, are agitated with the most intense delight; for the Boraf Gras is approaching. Suddenly, how- ever, & report is spread that it is not the Bovuf (ras, but an advertising car, accompanied by outriders, mask and aii the prescribea mummery of the day. There 18 BO disappointment—on the contrary, the wondrous charm of novelty is paramount, and the crowd sways with even greater eagerness towards the scene of interest. At last it comes—a car drawn by six gray cart horses, filled with men dressed in a species of fools’ cap, while the atteodants, mounted on steeds which would have put Roai uante tothe blush, wearing simular fools’ caps, made of straw, and their persons decorated with old cards, oyster shells, and every rubbish the band could come by, grave- ly pace their steeds before the thcuaands and tens of thou- suads of elegant citizens assembled in the most splendid tho. roughfare of Europe. Everybody seems delighted, however Very vody satistied—and what more can holiday folk de- sire. Here and there, to be sure, some cold, grim Saxon lifts up hig brow in astonishment;’ but the spectacle was not made for bim or his like. There is no reason, there- ‘e, why he should not retire to his home and aay, “‘Hap- py_ the peopie for whom so littte is needed.” | The masked bails have been more than usually crowd ed Wis'season. The eutrance takes place at midaight, aud comme d’ordinaire, with who | no lady 1 admitted who does not appear in | charactor or in a domino. The animation of these scenes is something indescribable. In no other country but France is the thing found eadurable Here, even the bal masque is not what it ouce was; the same Ciass of persons do not form the compauy, and | egalité, which has pushed from their stools so many privi leged institutions, has not been without its effect on those high bred manners which made the Freach people so justly famous. Still, there is an immense residuum ieft, ‘and, combined with the extraordinary facility aflurded by the French language for words of doubtful signification, ana the national vivacity ia repartée, with the born taleut for acting common to all, a scene of unequalled revelry is produces, which those who witness will seldom forget. The opera house is on such occasions ed to the roof, many who do not choose to take part ja the scone below, cocupying the boxes. That the licentiousnoas is terrible no oné can deny’; that the result of a masked bail is sim- ply a very vortex of sensuality is undoubted; but nothing is done to offend the eye, and if French manuvers were not sufficiest to guard against contretemps, there are police on ‘ail bands—mingling among the revellers as part of them- selves—to keep order, The dresses are generally modela of tasteful ingenuity, got up often at comparatively small cost, but singularly appropriate, and worn with au ease aad grace fully worthy of the occasion. ‘A brilliant ball has, T see, been given by the Hon. Joel W. White, Consul of the United States at Lyons, It is said that not fewer than five hundred persons were pre sent, and that the room, surmounted by an arch tarown ‘across from side to side, was ornamented with the fags of America and France, while the busts of WasLingtoa and Napoleon Ill. were respectively crowned with laurel.

ACTION FOR ASSAULT AND BATTRRY—A WALL STREET BROKER REGENTS AN [NSULT OFFERED TO HI DAUGHTERS. ‘Mancu 8.—Peter C. Anthony vs. James Smith.—This is an action for assault and battery; and though the alinple ques- tion is whether Mr. James Smith was justified fn beating Mr. Peter C. Anthony, the cause has occupied the Court and jury for three days. It appears that about 4 o’olock on the evening of the 8th of October, 1855, the plaintiff accosted two young ladies in the street who were on their ‘way to theirfather’s office in Wallstreet. They went into the office and told their father that they had been insulted by a man in the street; the father (the defendant) asked pa gd ge out. "They did so; he ran up to and as- ailed and brought him back to his office, where, it 1s be again beat him. The plaintiff’ com- Plains that his ani ear were cut, and thathe was otherwise severely beaten. He lays his daurages at $10,000. A number of witnesses were examined: but the gist of the case, pro and con, may be obtained {rom the testimony of one of the young ladies and from the evi- dence of the plaintiff himseif. Helen Smith, iter of the defendant, being examined by Mr. Benedict, deposed that she was walking down ‘ail street with s*ster; gotas far as Pearl street and crossed over; this man (the plaintiff) pushed in between me and the wall, from behind, and shoved my sister off he looked up in my face and laughed very in ‘on’t you tell me where you live? ‘ou & ;" he then went on & paces and turned , aud locked up in our faces end said, ‘‘Won’t you? won't you?’ and something else that I did got understand; we then crossed Wall street back, to go to father’s office, between Water and Front #treets; as we passed the door I saw he (the plaintiff) was ttanding on the corner of Front street, looking up towards vs, 1g and apparently bn bag meand my sister; 1 then went into my father’s office; he was sitting near the outer door. (Plaintiff's counsel excepts to what witness told ber father.) I told my father that a man had insulted us; father asked me to point out the man, and came out into the street; I did so; 1 went down with my father and pointed him out; I saw my father strike him; I then returned into the office; we resided in Brooklyn; my father soou came back, bringing the man (plaintiff) in with him; he took him into the back office; we were there; father struck him twice; he slapped him with his opeu hand as soon as they got in; I don’t recollect all that was said; the man (plain- Uff) said it was the first time he had ever insulted ladies, aud it wouid the last; he gave his name as Charles Brown, and stated that he ‘boarded at the Clermont House; I should judge he was there about half an hour. Cross-examined— We resided at No. 121 Remsen street, Brooklyn; { don’t remember what time we came over that morning; we went shoppin; Canal street; we went no- where else except to stores; came down Wall street pe- tween 3 and4 o'clock; plaintiff ran against us near Pearl street: my sister stepped one foot off from the walk; I bave seen a good many persons there in the afternoon; he (plaintiff) had got but a few steps when be turned round and spoke; be spoke loud and laughed loud; I kept walk- ing on. Peter C. Anthony, the plaintiff, was put on the stand, and deposed that he was a clerk in a foundry; when he got down to Pearl street on the day in questica he saw the ‘two ladies crogs on his left to the south side; I passed them, and stepped up to afruit stand; in the meantime they passed me; I then overtook them, and tried to pass them on the inside; the space was small, and knocked against one of them; I asked their pardon; I said ‘ pardon, pardon,” and smiled when I said go; I said nothing else to them; [ then crossed to Front street; I did not stop on the corner of Froat and Wall streets, untill was arrested by the cali of a young lad; Mr. Smith (the defendant) then came up and asked me if I had insulted his daughters; I denied it; he knocked me instantly under the ear, and I fell senseless off the sidewalk;} my right arm was lamed, and my left hand was badly bruised; I tried to get out of smith’s way, but he knocked me over again, aud cried “stop thief;"’ it occurred to mo from that cry that I might be shot, and I stopped; Smith swore at me, took me and pulled me back towards bis of fice; 1 met Mr. George Waite ou the way; Mr. Smith took me to bis office and brought me into the back room; he cursed and swore, and said be would kill me; he struck me several times; I have no receliection of giving name as Brown; I then boarded at the Clermont A whea in the room I ‘led to the gentlemen and to the ladies to protect m said that I did not intend to insalt the ladies, and begged of them to prevent him killing me, 1 bave no recollection of saying that I insulted the ladies; I said J had no intention of insulting them, and that I was sorry; I never offer@ them any fruit or peaches; my brushing against them was purely accidental; I bad an en- gagement in veneer evening at 4 o'clock, and was going fast wi 1 overtock the ladies; my left eye was very badly cut, my ht eye was injured, and I suffered from pains in my head two or three months, and am still troubled with some nervous difficulty about my eyes; I was unable to go out for two weeks, apd lost wg Ses ae ia juence.

(Objected to, and question excluded. Dr. Rowland was asked what is the actual effect of the injury on the mind and constitution of Mr. Anthony? He said the injury made Mr. Anthony very nervous for a year; that nervousness oftentimes incapacitates « man ; [think that part of that time it had the effect of incapacitating Mr. ‘Anthony for business.

There bas been considerable excitement in our city for the past three or four days, occasioned by M. D. C. Free- mau keeping possession of the Milwaukie and Watertown Railroad, after its sale by the La Crosse Company to the Madison, Fond du lac and Michigan Railroad Company, and the latter company's ‘attempt to take forcible posses: sion of the road.

No very serious difficulties however occurred, except one or two fisticuffs. On Sunday evening the Chief of Police, Beck, with ten of the police, took « specini train and went out to Watertown with warrants for the arrest of all who bad taken a prominect part in the riot. They arrived at Watertown towards midnight and arrested ali those for whom they had warrants. Therp was considerable excitement there, and some resistance upon the part of the more enthusiastic Jacksonites, but most of surrendered iy, and were brought directly back to this city in the special train, which train arrived bere yesterday about % o'clock, and were all lodged in the watch house. Among rest were Jucge Koss, the President of the M. F. and R R. Company, Mr. Jackson, and « sumber of | residents of this city. Yesterday mor: at 10 o'clock they were ali brought up in the Police to answer ‘he charge of riotous conduct. The examination of the parties waa pestpoved to the 10th inst., and the defendants required to give bail in the sum of $600 each for their appearance. At Watertown there was more excitement than any- where else on the road, although it luckily happened that 60 one recetved any very serious injuries. At one time the police came very near having 4 serious aflray with some of the burghers of that place, who took the part of the Jacksomites, and made some bostile demonstrations, Dut got pretty severely bandied and couctuded to keep out of the melée. The chief got an ugly clip in the mouth, but we believe no other injuries were sustained by the police. eS i ly, esterday afternoon at the town, over five hundred depot, most of whom, no dou of cur lonity, expecting to v0 disturbance whatever reesivn. other Sight on the reed or ticipate any more hostilities on credit of both partics we trust there are set down the follow.
