The Troops Open Fire on the Rioters. THE RESCUE OF FLOURENS. ‘The following account of the riots in Paris on the ‘Zist ult. 1s copied from the Paris correspendeuce of the London Daity News:— When I arrived at the Hotel de Ville al was very atl, There were crowds, the Sunday crowds that come out ona fine day, and they stood in groups talking, but all was peace. 1 asked if there had been any demonstrations. There had been none. Had any Mayors or their adjuncts from the revolu- tonary districts arrived at the head of any battal- ions todemand the commune? None at all. in- decd, the crowd In the great square IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL DB VILLE ‘Was fow enough, and if there had been any demon- | stration 1t must have been a ble tatlure. few companies of the Natienal Guard, however, ar- rived, but they marched crogse en Vair, that 18 holding the butt end of their muskets upwards, and they soon di reed among the crowd, The ardent evolutionists were of course as much chooraged hs dismayed by this inapt benavior. They plunged in emong the groups upbraiding everybody and de- claripg that to overthrow the government it was necessary for all to keep close in battle array. GENERAL VINOY DENOUNCED AS AN IMPERIALIST. Then ‘oilowed a clatier of tongues aud vehement harangues, in which it was demonstrated that General Vinoy Was an ancient imperialist, and that be would assuredly sell Paris to the Prussians a3 Bazaine had sold Metz, Nothing would do but the Commune, and the election ef some young and ob- scure colonel to the command,of all the French | armies, The young colonel must bea ‘“pure’’ re- | Publican, and all the old Trochu and imperialist or reactionary set must be swept away. As, how- ‘ever, notwithstanding the violence of these dis- courses, the people seemed little inclined to come to blows, | left them and advanced to the railings of the middie door of the Hotel de Ville. Iuside a colonel of the National Guard was addressing th the crowd and begging them to ovserve order, but es- ey to beware of playmg into the hands of the asians by fomenting revoinuon. Uutside the ratl- | ings @ young man, who wore the cap of a civil en- gineer, Was urging Just the contrary, He climbed ; half way ap the railings, spoke with great fervor | aod ended Mis speech with the cry of “VIVE 1.4 COMMUNE |’? But at the very moment that he climbed the rail- | toga, raised this cry, and the crowd rent the air , ‘With approving shouts, three windows of the Hotel | at the squad and eu bringing down one of | de Ville were thrown open, and in the centre win- | the horses. 2 this the cuirassiers faced about | dow appeared a Garde Mebiie, Chassepot in hand. | and made ot Tne Frenchman. followed i close It was a Waraing, and the effect was electric.

There- { fore the sudden appearance of this one Mobile, | musket In hand, bad quite a dramatic effect. It was enough. The civil engineer leaped down frem the | railings, and the litue crowd which had gathered | around him took to its heels with laudabie expedi- | uon. FEARS OF THE CROWD. After this the most frightful rumors began to circu- | late. It-was said that behind each door of the | Hotel de Ville two mitraitieuses were waiting ready , leaded to massacre the people. It was said that In | sue Conciergerie, at the neighboring Maire, and in all the public buildings Woops were massed so as to Tush gut upon the crowd atany moment. A fit of rudéhee, therefore, took possession of the poor | armless crowd o/ gesticmating, jabberiug, dissat- } istled, hangry Parisians. Only a Parisian crowd | does not keep long in one strata; it is changeanle as @ weather vane. And sacdenly, as | was admiring with some svase of amusement the prudence of the throng, and Degan to speculate as to what was the reat value of sach men’s liveé that they should | be so pradent, or what was the wortblesstess of | life’ that had in it no stability, I found | that the crowd had become quite bold again, | All because of the arrival of two companies , of the National Guard from the other side of the water, Tieu a popular orator twisted himseli up @ lamp post, gnd in this hazardous position made a speech, which was enthnstastically applauded, Afier the speech some persons pushed towards the door of the Hotel de Vile, while others at the same Moment began to retire inu manner so precipitate that, althougu the movement was directed by the | noble sentiment of wisdom, it must be described by | she un‘lign.fied name of SKEDADDLE. And thus for a long time the crowds—for there were several of them—massed in different corners ; of the great square, continued tulking and now and shen rushing up to one corner and then to avother, Without having, agfpurentiy, any denuite purpose. | Some of the Naftonal Guards, however, seemed very desirous to fire at somebody or something. They fondled their cartridges with impatience, and wore @ simister look wuich seemed to 1udicate business. | This, perhaps, Was the reason why so few persons , Were on the piace—few as compared with the occa- sions of previous demonstrations. LOOKING OUT FOR A SAFE PLACE. For my own part, also, must say that the mo- | ment seemed to have come when it was necessary for me to think of what unhappy generals in these days call @ strategical movemeut. I did not see the oou of getting achance shot—ali for nothing—and Piteretere took up & position with my back to the it were attacked in front, and so that if it were at- tacked on all sides 1 could escape into the bom- barded districts of Paris, which would be compara- tively safe. ‘The riot was not likely to extend into the bombarded atstricts, and it would be easier ty escape the Prussian shells than tne stray shots ex- | changed between ine mob and the Mobiles. My | .precaution had its reward. A detachment of Na- | tional Guards suddenly appeared—it was pow about three o’clock—and marched straight up to the rail | ings of the Hotel de Ville, to the right of the middie | door, They were 200 strong, with a RED FLAG at their head, and Iam toid that they came from Montinartre. Having taken up their siation Lu trent of the railings some one ciiinved upon them—it seemed to me to be the same person who had made the speech from the lamp post—but I cannot re- member exactly this detatl. He began talking to the Guards very vehementiy: but he had not made muuch Way When {n &iuoment he leaped of the railing With unnatural baste. This movement was Instantly followe.i by the report of a gun; then followed about ten shots and then again several volleys, The win- dows of the Hotel de Ville were peopled quickly with - MOBILES, WHO FIRED DOWN ON THE CROWD, While the National Guard fired back again upon the Windows of the Hotel de Vile. What occurred aiierwards I did not stop to witness, I hed seen enougn for the mement, and took ad- vantage of my strategical position to seek refuge in the little streets behind the Hotel ae Vile, The panic was great. Men, women and children fell and tripped over each other in the most igno- mMinious fashion, so long as one could still bear in the distance the reports of musketry. THE REQOUE OF PLOURENS. The London ines correspondent says:— ‘rhe rescue of Floureus tren Mazas Prison appears to have been effected very quietly. ‘The ringleaders contrived to get the gates opened with a view to an amicable pariey, and then vo satisfy the wardens that Flourens’ friends were in a large majority. This Was all that was required, since it nad been until yesterday an understood thing that to prevent biood- shedding in civii strife all such disputes should be Teduced to a simple question of arithmetic, Heads are counted instead of es broken, and the mi- { nority gracefuily gives way ib order to go and lok | for allies, whose nuinbers may confer upen it in its | ‘urn the triamphant rights oi a majority. ° | WEWARK ROWDIES ROUTED, Between one aod two e’clock yesterday morninga crowd of loafers and rowdles entered the drinking place of a man named Waters, corner of Broad and | | | Bridge streets, Newark.

The London elegraph's correspondent at Ver- sailles says:—There is @ cunning little ‘‘nole In the wall,” or observatory—I must not even hut where— scooped out of the solid rock in one of the heignts overlooking Paris from the southwest, with loop- holes bored outwards through its face (several feet | | thick m some parts), a stove, table and chairs | stowed away withla its recesses, and, not unfre- | quently, a cwse of wine and a box of cigars some- Where about it handy for the refection of it3 few and | highly privileged visitors.

The Weakness of the New French Troops. The 7imes' correspondent with the Dake of Meck- lenburg’s army, after describing a passage of ita murch continues:—“The position in the hands of a few resolute men would have been almost impreg- ; nable, the thick underwood was traversed by deep, | narrow laues, affording adorable cover for men, | while steep banks and deep ditches gave every facility for concealment and surprise.

The citizens of Brooklyn, like the extizens of New York and other places, or the majority ef them at least, opened their eyes in astonishment on looking out of their windows yesterday morning. Few may have looked for ao snow storm, but they scarcely antcipated One of such magnitude so close upen the heels of that old-fashioned one whieh put the streets in such a horrible condition and tried the patience of the railroad companies only a few @ays since. Pedestrianism in Brooklyn was not at all inviting, for people aid not trouble themselves about cleaning their sidewalks, and car riding was anything but agreeable, even when it could be ob- tained. If President Bergh could have seen the poor animals under the lash of the car drivers in Brooklyn, while they were struggling to d a car packed with citizens up the stecp grades of Myrtle and Fulton avenues nis heart would have bled.

The Catholic Church of St. Peter, coraer of Church and Barclay streets, the most ancient in the city, is also one of the most crowded at divine service on Sundays, and, notwithstanding the heavy snow storm yesterday morning, any one not renting a pew in the charch and arriving a few minutes late would have had some dificuity in obtaining, a good place. ‘The venerabie and good natured sexton (Mr. O'Meara) who may justly be regarded at the “Brown” of the Catholic churches, always comes to the relief of strangers and can spy out some cosy place unoccu- CHURCH. pied and thither he graciously ushers the searcher after trutn, After the gospel had been read in the mass yester- day the Rey. James Quinn ascended the pulpit and preached from the parable of the sower. THE WORD OF GOD 18 DIVINE REVELATION, he said. In this parable we see a striking ulusti‘a- tion of the wonderful charity, mercy and goodness of God. The seed here mentioned He declares tO be nothing else than the Word of Goa, the most precious boon and the greatest gift Heaven ever conte upon Barth. it ia—tue- revetation Which Goa bimseif in His great mercy has thought proper to make to men—the revelation which ratses them from the depths of their misery and casts a flood of heavenly light over their path, who were before buried in darkness—g revelation which in- uses Invo their souls the virtde @f divine faith ana nobler aspirations that philosophy or science or any- thing else the world affords can ever create; which, in a word, teaches men the end for which they were born into the world and the means to attain it, * THE WORD OF GOD 13 TO BE PREACHED to every creature, The gootness of God also mant- fests itself in the vay in which the revelation 13 made. It is not confined to those who would re- ceive the Word with wiiling hearts and treasare it ‘up in their souls and permit it to fructify, but the ‘sower goes forth scattering the heavenly scea, even on barren soll. The Word of God reacires those who are unwilling to receive 1, aud produces no fratt. Yet it 1s the duty of God’s ministers to go forth and preach to all, not distinguishing the soll or examin- ing into the hearts of their nearers, or the uificul. ties and temptations that surround them.

FIFTH AVENUE BAPTIST Christinn Resignation—Sermon by Dr. Armil« tages Dr. Armitage’s. church, on West Forty-sixth strect, | near Fiith avenue, was not overcrowded, but of those who attended all listened with attention to the Gtscourse to which he treated them. His text waa from Luke, xxiil.,46—“And when Jesus had cried With a loud voice, he said, ater, into thy hands I commend my spirit; and having said this he gave up the ste)? The reverend preacher then went on to say that our Lord in Hfs humanity needed the self-same sup- port of ttfe divine power that other men found neces sary in resisting the temptauons of the fleah, Be explained that it was not merely for the purpose of skowing his followers what they ought to do that Christ prayed to God ; for, sald he, that would be deceit, which, of course, he was incapable of. Our Saviour requued divine aid and upp cations expressed a reality. Then, also, His words on the cross showed that he was sincere wnen he cried out “! “O GOD ! WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?? | But in His trials he was resigned and reposed the utmost confidence in His Heavenly Father, thus lay- ing tbe foundation tor hope in the breasts of His fol- lowers. ‘Chis prayer, said he, had a lar tation to other human miseries and has been uttered again and.again inthe foods. of temptation, in the fires of martyrdom, in the human death str by the noblest meu that have lived in the last el teen centuries, and it ts as broadly and lucidly Sp Feet a a A Sac tptavs @ cross, whole er lays basis for the doctrine of ge CHRISTIAN RESIGNATION. “Then, on what does Christian resignation resv?!?

He spoke at. much length regarding the duties of Christians, giving much Wholesome advice, and concluded by urging them, Whenever they felt the necessity of divine aid, to say with Christ, “Into Fb andes I commend spirit.’? a iad ST. ANTHONY'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, Religious Orders and the Good They Do=— The Two Great Religions Socictice= Calumal Against the Frinre—What the Church Thinks of Them—Sermon by the Rev. Father Edward. At St. Anthony’s church, in Sullivan street, yester- day morning, high mass was celebratea by the Rey, Fatuer Charles, 0. 8. F., and after the first gospel had been read thé Rev. Father Edward, 0. 8. F., preached, taking for his subject the gooa which comes trom religious orders. He said that before the coming of Christ paganism was spread all over the then kuown world, and men were in utter dark- ness. With Chris: came civilization, and this civill- zation was founded upon religion. The anctent monks and hermits were the first to teach Chris- Uanity, and throughout the ages preserved the Sclences, when otherwise they would have been lost. ‘This great work was accomplished by religious orders, The founders of THE TWO GREAT RELIGIOUS ORDERS Were St, Francis and St, Dominick, who established themselves abeut the year 1253, Since the Francis- can and Dominican priests nad traveiled over the World, diffusing knowledge wherever they went. Especially did thelr ‘teachings produce frult im France, Engiand and Spain, where they became the Most eminent teachers In the universities and lound- ed seats of learning which have since obtained World-wide fame, ‘They had recetved acknowledg- ment for their labors by. the most iiiustrious i¥ of the world—among others from Pope Alexander the Fourth. It was therefore evident that the re- Proach against religious orders, that they were UsELESS {0 SJCIETY, was entirely unfounded. To. religious orders should be ascribed the establishment of almost all | the religious societies which we now sce attached to the Cathohe churches, and in the cause of temper- ance and every other moral development the rée- ligious orders had ever been prominent supporters: and guilders. Calumnies ngainst these tolling, re- ligious men should not be allowed to pass unnowees, especially as members of these orders usually were engaged in working the severest missions in the World, In China and Japan and the West Indies Franciscans were to be found, and, scattered over the World, their houses brought the Gospel to lands where : THE HEATHEN ONLY ‘was to befound, The Church had ever recognized these orders among her ablest and most trustworthy Golenders, . aud popes and cardinals had been selected mamong their numbers, thus showing the -emtpence which imdividual members of them had attained. Here tn America it should be a boast to Nave to say that THE FIRST MARTYRS. i belonged to the order of Franciscans; and even the | Yery disoo of the country, Columbus, was a | Franciscan friar. The reverend preacher contiuued to narrate many interesting tacts connected with Franciscans had accomplished in various | Countries, and concluded by giving a brief account of the progress of the order in this cuuntry.
