4 FRANCE. Village Fete in the Champs | Elysees. A DEPUTY SENTENCED TO DEATH. Proposed Revival of Gamb- ling Tables in France. Teficit of Two Hundred Million Francs in the French Budget. THE ASSAULT ON GABMETTA Paris, June 10, 1874. Melvil Sainte Suzanne Bloncourt, Deputy for the colony of Guadaloupe, has been seutenced | to death “in contumaciam” by the Third Coun- cl! of War, for being concerned in the Com- munist rebellion. He was born at Guadaloupe in 1823, came to Paris early and amassed a compe tency by writing for the radical press. On the outoreak of the Commune he was appotnted by Delesciuze to be Chief of the Enrolment Omice, and 4m this capacity he enlisted three of the most | Dloodthirsty corps of the Commune, Les Enfants dn Pere Duchesne. les Turcos de la Commune and Les Détenseurs de la République. All this he did under the name of Bloncourt without that of Melvil, and after the rioting was all over he got himself elected member for Guadaloupe, nobody suspecting (hat he was the Bloncoart of tne rebel lion. One day, however, he was recognized in @ café by two soldiers who had been taken prisoners by the Communists and whom he nad endeavored to get shot. Despite assurances that he was a Deputy he was then dragged summarily off to the police station, and M. Grévy, being apprised of the mat- ter, advised him to resign his parliamentary functions and go quietly out of the country. But he declined to do so, and M, Thiers’ government, which was upon the whole composed of prudent, | elderly gentlemen, not desiring to have any more scandals, allowed him to be liberated. On Marshal MacMahon’s accession to power, however, General Ladmirauit, Governor of Paris, who was awarc of all the facts of the case, asked leave of the Chamber to prosecute M. Melvil Bloncourt, and thus fore- warued, this gentleman immediately absconded. — It was easy for him to run away, for it is not lawful to arrest a French Deputy until the Assembly have authorizea his prosecution, and the formality of | obteining this authority is seldom completed tn less thana week. There must be @ discussion in committee, the drawing up of a report, a public | motion debate, and finally the Presidential assent before a Parliament man can be shut up—so that any delinquent of this sort has always a good start. Mr. Ranc, Deputy of Lyons, escaped in the | same way, and he, too, was condemned to death. M. Meivil Bloncourt is an uninteresting creature, with shifty eyes, clammy hands anda shy gait—the very man to commit atrocities and disown them with a flood of sentimental jargon. If this were not such a strange world it would be a wonder that the Guadaloupe colonists should have elected | him their member; but the trutn w that the French coionies cannot get influential merchants and planters to leave their business and cross the Atlantic ‘or the pleasure of legisiating at twenty- five francs a day, so they are compelled to select colonial residents in Paria, who are, generally speaking, pompous, curly-headed creoles with too much mouey or blatant adventurers like this Blon- court. PROPOSED REVIVAL OF GAMBLING TABLES. It has been again recently proposed to revive licensed gambling tables tn France, and one M, Paci Brut bas addressed a long petition to the Assembly at Versailles proving that if they were revived in Paris and the principal watering places in this country, and that if government took the management of them into their own bands, tt would soon be possible to pay off the five mil- liard loan at five per cent and set France once More in a prosperous way. The petition is likely to give rise to an important devate. The budget | of this year shows a deficit of 200,000,000 jraucs, and a great many Deputies are of opinion that | France may very well do as the Germaos did before 1870. Gambling tabies wouid bring rich strangers by myriats to France, and it may be noted in passing that they were abolished while M. Thiers was Home Minister to Louis Philippe in 1836, VILLAGE FESTIVAL IN PARIS. On the 4th June was held in the gardens of the Concert Besselievre a brilliant séfe in aid of the “Société de Charité Maternelle.” This cuarity was founded by Marie Antoinette, and has for its Object the relief of poor women who, having already three children, are about to be confined a fourth time. A bavy’s layetie and twenty francs are given then, and five francs a montn for the nine months aiter confinement. Last year 1,800 poor wo- | men Were assisted in this way, but it has been felt that the sums given were not large enough, whence this sete, which has produced the handsome sum of 150,000 irancs. The Duchesses De Mouchy and De Cadore, Mesdames Dagnier, Furtado-Heine, Lam- brecht, Poturau and De Rothschild kept re(resh- ment stal's; Mesdames De Padone, De Waiewski, De Montmorency and De Las Marismas sold cigars, The Duchesses of Trévise, MalakoM and Caraman sold gloves. The Countess De Mercy-d’Argen- teau, Mesdames Despeuilies, Caben and De Faitly sold sweetmeats, toys aud nicknacks. Princess Metternicu and Lonntess De Pourtaies, assisted by Count De Turenne, the Due De Fitzjames and Hubert Deiamarre kept @ lombola at five francs the ticket. M. Edouard Fould, whose horse Salta- relie gained the French Derby the other day, won @Leautitul bronze statuette sent by ® banker; a bashful man who had taken but @ single tieket carried of a Sévres coffee service sent by Mme, MacMahon, and worth @ thousand trance. M. de Villemessant, editor of the Figaro, wons China flower vase, and it seems rather @ curious peculiarity of French geutiemen to resort to charitable institutions for the purposes of profit. Surely it is a queer way of relieving the poor to buy of them for $1 an object worth $200; and it is remarkabie that among so kindy and generous a people as tne French, not one of the winners of | these prizes left nis gains betind bim that they might be sold to swell the total of the receipta paid to the chairity .e came to patronize. Indeed, there is some duuvi whether even the highest bred French gentlemen have preserved their ancient delicacy in money transactions, Here, for in- Stance, is an anecdote which will tllustrate that Tather anpicasant truth. At @ charity fair, which ‘Was held recently, the expenses far exceeded the receipts, to the utter consternation of ite pro- moters, who remoustraved altogether very noisily among themselves, “Ban,"! observed @ frog out aider, cueerully, “the poor can subscribe among them to make up the deficit.” Besides all the buying and selling among fair ladies aud fine geutiemen at the festival in the Champs Elys6es, there were, 01 course, merry go- rounds, swings, AQDt Salles, two mulitary bunds, a dancing lawa for children, and aii the customary machinery of firtation, It wasin every way o great success, and the French are a great peopie. DEATH OF M. HAMON, THE PAINTER, Jean Louis Hamon, the charming painter of French home svenes, died the other day in [taly. He was vorn in 1821, and was @ pupil of Paul Dela roche. Drink i#said to have Killed him, and ve had sunk into paral paralysis ome montos ve. fore big. acath.

SEIZURE OF COMMONISI PAMPHLETS AND HANDBILLS.

Mgr. Meglia has been appointed Papal Nuncio in France tn the room of Cardinal Cuigi. Mgr. Chigt had been accredited in 1861. He is a very prodent man, full of tact, dignity, and of very polished Manners, a great iavorite in French society. | There is a rumor that he is to succeed Antonelli. He was recalled irom Frunce at his own request. He does not like republicanism, and had of late been very active in Henry V.'s behalf, The Scenes of Violence at the Saint- Lazare Railway Station—The Assault on Gambetia—Henri Count de Sainte- Croix Arrested by the Police. {From Galignani’s Messenger, June 13.] Some scenes of tumult tvok place again yester- day ut tie Saint-Lazare station, at the hour of the departure of the pariiamentary train, As some- thing of the kind was expecte4, the authorities had sent two brigades o/ sergents-de-ville to main- tam order.

A Large Crowd in Attendance and a Good Day’s Sport. Anumber of gentlemen interested in sporting Matters yesterday inaugurated the frst day of a three days’ meeting at Waverly Park, New Jer- | Sey, one of the neatest half-mile tracks open to | lovers of the sport, Considering the high price of ad- mission charged there wasa very large attendance on the grounds, the grand stand being well filled, though mostly with men. Two thickly filled rows of carriages, however, gave many ladies an oppor. tunity to witness the contests. The crowds were very undemonstrative, thougn evidently takings great interest in the fortunes of the horses and their owners. Pools were sold under the grand stand, evidently more to have pool selling going on, im acccordance with established custom, than for any large amount of money that was likely to change hands, In one of the most hotly contested heats an acci- dent which sent horse and sulky and driver spinning over by a collision with an oppo nent, only the vehicle, however, sustaining any in- jury. On examination the two drives were ex- onerated from intended harm and permitted to | drive the next heat. The trotting was very spirited, enthusiasin b been excited among | the drivers.

The fourth heat, trotted on the second day, was 2:37 —poor time, but not bad, as Mambrino Star, in the 2:44 class, lost the first heat in 2:40and won the next three in 2:43, 2:45 and 2:48. Subsequently Mambrino star trotted at Jackson, on @ hall-mile track, fourth beat, in 2:32%, 80 that on the line thus obtained the mare’s defeat was not @badone, At Jackson Kitty Wella again came out im the three minute class, and was badly beaten, Ristor! winning—best heat, 2:895¢, Ristort had been beaten atGrand Rapids by Frank J. in the 2:50 class, third heat, 2:35%, so that the race seemed a true one. Ip the 2:50 race at Jackson the Canadian mare struck her gait, and on a half-mile track beat Fox, Granville and Ristori, who nad @eleatec her previously, taking the second, third and fourth heats in 2:323¢, 2:32%, 2:33. She is evidently a mal and one that will improve, 80 Eastern folk May expect to see her trot in 2:27, or less, before the season is out. Fox is another débutant that is aie to beat 2:30, or come very near it, Another young horse that has come out this year and prom- a do weil is Wolford Z, (named alter 4 local brand of whiskey of some celebrity).

The trotting at Peoria did not deserve much Notice, but there was some good raoing. Fred Lioyd’s Vicksbt Stable was in luck. With his very useful Captain schinson .he took two dashes over timber, Edwin two imiles and repeat won from Big Fellow and a fleld—:47, 3:46—-while Mary L, beat Join avis aud Cape Cod at mile heats, John Davis taking the first—1:48's, 1-48, 1:52.

She won the three minute purse easily—2:37%{, 2:36, 2:36, and was backed freely tor the 2: bus had to dowse her colors to arch Junior, of Kokoma, who beat her in 2:41, 2:34, 2:36%. Omtne next day she won the 2:40 race in 2:35%, 2:3834, 2:40, and may be set down as worth watching. ‘Two standard campaign- ers, Stump Puller and Logan, won the 3:30 and open races, and the brown gelding Sieepy George, in the pacing race, made the first heat in 2:23%.

The stables at Monmouth Park are rapidly filling | up with selections from the best training and | breeding establishments in the country, with the exception of Colonel McDaniel, whe has concluded to go to Saratoga, and there b» in readiness to meet ali comers, The Colonel has an idea thut Springbok wili win the Saratoga Cup. The races begin at Long Branch on the 4th of July, with four events each day. On the opening day the Jersey Derby will be run, which will be a grand race, as all the best horses that ran in the Belmont Stakes at Jerome Park are engaged in thia, besides others that are equally ast; Saxon, Auron Pennington, Brigand, Steel Eyes, King Amadeus, Rutherford, Maccaroon, Brother to London, Astral, | Elkhorn, Harry Felter, Court Hampton, two or three of Mr. F, Morris’, two or three of John Chambertin’s, besides many others of the fifty original entries, will run for the stakes, On the second day of the meeting the Monmouth ! Cap race will take place. This event closed with twenty-four nominations, including Tom Bowling, Preakness, Shylock, Whisper, Survivor, Felloweraft, Jean Valjean @nd other good ones, Preakness being a much better horse this year than ever before, Mr. San- ford, no doubt, thinks that Tom Bowling will have | torun @ better race than ever he did bde‘ore to | beat him, Preakness ts not only a fast horse, but | one that cam go the journey. There are many others that also think they have achance. All the stake races have filled weil, and the two-year-old | events will be highly interesting, particularly the Hopeiul Stakes, which has twenty-four nomina- tions, Aniella, The Weazel, James A, Lizzie R, Aristices. Bayring, Matador, Babylon and other ‘ood ones will try conciusions in the race. As joubt constitutes the charm of racing, this two- year-old event snouid be a charming afair.

The Roman Hippodrome, on the biock between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh stroeeta and | Fourth aad Madison avenues, is to some extent a | realization of the dream of ail the small children and grown up children who ever drank tuioxica- | tion trom the sports which have delighted man- kind from @ period doubtiess earlter than that of the origin of the drama. The interior of the bulid- ing, which ts of immense conception, is spacious, lightsome and airy, and its amphitheatre ts ar- ranged in 8 manner superior both jor sight and comiort. The performance, given day and even- ing, ia, of course, somewhat similar to the won- ders promised by thé playbdills of every circus, an- cient or modern; but, besides these, it also com- prises a few novelties. We have, as usual, tho “Queen of the Loity Wire,” the “strong man,’? the creatures of tho trapeze, the performing ele- phanis, and a “grand” processional pageant. Tho more enlivening features, however, are the races, waich are of many descriptions, from that of “En lish thoroughbreds" to the ludicrous ck race.!? ‘The “Roman chartot race’ with female drivers, aud the ‘dadies’ hurdie race’ are exciting, and the former would be more especially so i! one could but image in his mind’s oye the rest of the flerce surroundings in an, ancieat battle of Amazons. The comic scenes of the Lancashire races were reproduced in @ picture at ouce bright, grotesque and comieal. To the young, both in body and mind, there 18 nowhere that a few harmless draughts of merriment may be imbibed more easily than at @ circus. hile this means of amusement gives pleasurable excitement it does not infame morbid passions or poison the mind prematarely with sensuous thought, Nd The total ales be sales of thor- Central Park Garden Concerts. ‘The sultry weather has the effect of crowding this favorite metropolitan summer resort every evening, by the admirers of tne incomparable | orehestra engaged there.

A critia speaks enthusiastically of “hia neat phrasing, perfect douple stopping, pellucida harmonies and fine tone.” A stall ticket at Her Majesty's Opera for Nils- son's first night in the opera of “The Talisman,” cost at the box office three guineas, and the specu- lators ran their stock up to seven guineas, When London consents to pay from $15 to $35 in gold for an orchestra seat to hear Niisson, surely New York Opera goers cannot complain of the $4 tariff. The lavish liberality of the New York publishers towards the composers wio supply their cata- logues with braius has been always a subject of congratulation among our musicians.
