FRANCE . . ; Tun ' Tnwn : Giomors lins . "— The Pans jour- . Mk of TtKMby , thc third of the " threeglorious davs" of Juhr , contain reviews of Ihe His tory of the . EeVolution of ISft . The Radical journals ucplorc at , much frngtb , and with apparently nw »« l sincerity , that which thev < k-cni the utter failure of tlic revolution of 1 S 30 , and which thc anniversary of thc great dav ( Julv 29 } teraglnVto their remembrance . The JflTfawf distinguishes itself an this course . _ It comincnecs with observing , that ' * crowds of citizens , including the students , anil the operatives of the Kin- j Ixrargs , " raid , on the preceding day , the tribute of ; their refect and admiration at the foot of "the column « f July , " erected on thc site of the Bastile , to the-ictinis of thc *• three days , " whose remains . lie interred beneath if .
" Vve have , " says the National , "had our propor tion—and a large « ac it is—of thc persecutions and the sorrows whicii all must experience who devote themselves with ardour to thc task of reconquering for France her principles and her flag ; hut wc arc sot anicntr ih « se who would deter our fellow citizens irons celchratint' tlic victory of tiie people , although reiiieniferinr ; the decci . dons that followed it .

" In spite cf all , " continues the writer , "if the revolution of -Jul ? were lo be made again , we would , without hesitation , be in the midst uf the coinbatauis ; for , deplorable as is thc present political system of France , it lias sot removed from our memories tlic leeolk-clioii of that which preceded it . "
Funeral services wei « jicrfonncd on Monday in all the churches of Paris and baii'ieue , in honour of the TJc-tims of July .

Wc learn from the iladrid journals of thc 10 th of July , that General Concha had issued a proclamation lo tic inhabitants oi" Catalonia , prom ising a full and complete amnesty to all the insurgents , including even thc lenders , who should deliver up tlieir anus within a week . The only exceptions were such persons as might have pillaged the public property and Government functionaries who had joined in the revolt . __ AccoutiXG to Madrid papers of the 21 st , much excitement had been caused by the departure of a brigade for O . eiu-n , fro . a which place is could eisily Ijc directed upon either Valencia or Aragoii . There were rawonrs of agitations in Galim and other pi « - Tinces on aecsunt of the new tribute tax , bat thev

SWITZERLAND . Tnn Swiss Jori :. N . us aiiuouuec the death by violence of ii . Joseph Leu , of Ebcrsol , member of the Grand Council of Lucerne . This event took place si his ernmiry house , on ihe uh ' nt of thc 1 Ui . Ii . The deceased had long taken a leading part in the affairs of the country , and his conduct in the Jesuit question had excited great resentment against him . il . Leu was found dead in his bed , a ball having passed i ' iirauc-i his brt-sit . The murderer Itnd entered thc "window by means of a ladder . A quantity of straw and other eambustiWe materials Lad been collected round the house , evidently with the intention of setting fire to it , had the bail from any circumstance missed its intended victim . No clue , has yet been discovered of the murderer . Thc Gazette deRCdc
states , thai M . Leu was murdered by a servant , rained Uudiinccr , on account of a private difference about uvsicy Mutters . The murderer has escaped .

CANADA . ANOTHER . AWFUL FHIE IN QUEBEC . ( From the 'i-c . bcc Mercury of Monday , Jam 28 . J lA'Sjioiidiiigly wc take up our pen to reroi-d a second disastrous lire which has nearly bluttcd Quebec from the ilst uf cities . Our task in this matter is not only painful but difficult of execution . To convey ah adequate idea of the extent of misery caused hy these Two iircs is impossible ; to conceive the ultimate re-Salts hardly lo be compassed by the human mind . On Saturday evening last , " about eleven o ' clock , flames were discovered issuins from thc Iiaiusird of
M . Tvsiier , Esq ., N . P ., in u'AiguiHon-strcet , just withnut St . . luhnVgate . The alarm of tire by thc tocsin was tardily given , but at the earliest moment possible a nam ' u .-r of persons were on the spot who lent ev- ? ry assistance towards arresting ihe progress of the ii : v ( whsch , it Is s .-i ; sl , arose from the ciRptyin " of n ea : i of hut ashes on a uungluil ) .

The : Iro spread from causes which favoured it on the fatal night of tlic ^ t " :: May—namely , the shingled roci ' s . tlic- high winds , and the previous dry weather . At liret there was a miserable supply of water , and but few persaus , beyond tlie military , were on the stHrt . Immediate preparations were made by tlie military authorities , under thc sanction of the mayor , for arresting the lire by blowimr up houses or entire blocks ; commencing at the English burial-ground l ' owdcr was . s « is for , bus sa r apid was the advance of the lire , that before it arrived ihe Weeks intended to
be destroyed wore m iiaiaes . Artillerymen , with amuvauituui , were however shortly at the disposal of thc authorities , aud six houses wove blown up nt different periods . Two were rased in Chevrofierc-stvect , and » o viwciifc was the concussion from the csploslon , a iiausc on the ojipo ^ ite side of the road was £ 0 !

A large number of families have fled from the city , aud it is very much to be feared that their secession nrlH be peruument . They may form new ties and fredi engaae . -ncnfcs which will eventually alienate JlieiH from t income .

[ inlup in the Cove Field , by the military , by five j ' clock in the evening . * The scene was one truly piteous . Hoary age , :, nd helpless infancy , frail women , thc sick and d ecrepid , halted in these bleak highways and rude Outbuildings , unable to ilv fuithcr from the scene of danger ; there they sunk down , overwhelmed with , despair . Some idea of tbe sufferings of these broken-hearted people may be gathered from the fact that two children , who were taken from a bed of fever , expired yesterday in a stable . A woman also expired from fright and exhaustion in an open field , aud we have been told that a man also died in some wretched comer on Sunday night . ( From the QntUe Gazette . )
DiSTmnuiio . v or Foon to the Si'itereks by the Late Fire . —As no bread could be obtained from the bakers on the moriiiiigafter the lire ( it being Sunday ) , biscuit was procured , and about twelve cwt . was immediately distributed to the crowds of poor sufferers , who " had fled for safety with their little all , and were lying ou tlic glacis , and iu the fields adjoining the martello towers . This temporary relief was conducted by Afcssrs . Synies and Faribault , who were sssistcd by " ifcssrs . Frechette , jun ., Iluot , Fulton , Prendcrgast , jun ., and Evans . On . Monday morning the distribution of bread was made at the building of the Legislative Assembly , under the superintendence of Messrs . Faribault , Chaiiot , and Holt , and continned to a late hour . The number of individuals who were thus supplied with food was 4 S 00 , or 1100 families .
IMPORTANT NEWS FROM TEXAS . Wc take the following extracts from the New York papers ; intelligence from Galveston to the 23 rd ult . had been received by the Princeton stoaincri—The TiiEATr with Mexico rejected . —PcicsinKxr Jo . nes s Message . —The Aksexatiox Project AVOl'TED VXAXlMOl'SLT BY COXGRSSS . — -The UCWS brought by the Princeton is of the most interesting character . Both houses of the Texan Congress have unanimously consented to the terms of thc joint resolution of the United States . The Senate had rejected the treaty with Mexico by a unanimous vote . A resolution was introduced into both Houses of Congress , reiiuiriiig thc executive to surrender all posts , navy yards , barracks , etc ., to tlic proper authorities
of the Uidted States . The joint resolutions were introduced into both Houses of Congress on the same day , and were almost identical in their tenor . The resolutions passed thc Senate on the lSili of June , and were sent to the house ; tlie house laid them on thc table , and passed their own resolutions unanimously , and sent them to the Senate ou the next day . 1 n thc meantime considerable jealousy arose as to * which branch should claim tlie honour of the patenritv of thu resohriitms ; and it was finally settled that the fcousc should take up the resolutions of thc Senate , aud amend them in thc third section . Thc house then passed them in their present form , and sent them back to the Senate , which body concurred in the amendment .
Thc Washington Union of the 3 rd announces the acceptance of the annexation of Texas on thc terms proposed by- thc latter . It therefore appears that there is iiowuo avoiding thc full consummation of the scheme .
MEXICO . Tlic Intelligence from Vera Cruz is to thc 13 th ult . Another Attempt at Revolution . —Wc have already , say the New York papers , had accounts ot another revolution , but this arrival gives fuller details of it than had reached us . It seems that on the Gth of June , according to a letter in the Picayune , a regiment broke through- the guard stationed at thc Government Palace and took tlic President and Secretary of Foreign Relations prisoners ; but thc revolutionists were immediately afterwards put down by thc citizens and soldiers , and the above distinguished personages set at liberty . In this affair , a colonel , a captain , aud about thirty of the privates belonging to the iua ! c * ntents were killed , when tjuiet v . -as once more restored . Many men iu high stations in Mexico aro suspected of having a hansl in causing this new outbreak , ami it is said that ex-Secretary Torncl has been arrested and imprisoned .
CU 15 A . Great Fire at Mataxzas . —Loss Estimateo at Eight ikxi > n > : i > Thousand Dollars . —Thc New York Express of the evening preceding the Acadia ' s dejtariuvc publishes the following : —Wc have a llavannah paper of the 2 Sth ult ., which gives us the details of a great fire in Matanzas , that happened on the 2 'Jth . The following we translate from La .-Im-or */ , a Matauzas paper of the 27 th : —It appears that a severe calamity has befallen the rich city of Matauzas . At half-past eight o ' clock , a . m ., the balls of the parish church announced that the richest part of the city was seized by the flames . In fact , thc fire had burst out , as wc are informed , in a carpenter ' s shop , in thc Marina , where a large collection of timber supplied abundance of fuel to the Haines . The fire immediately extended to thcadjaccnt buildings , which were all id wood , and of such asc a » to bo highlr
eombustiUe , so that tlic conflagration extended rapidly towards the Royal Custom-house , on the opposite corner , and to the house of Don IlartohuOdela Mater , which was soon seized by the devouring clement , threatening to consume Ike- whole town . It is three o ' clock iu the afternoon , and we have just left thc scene of the catastrophe ; and while the ruins of the edifices of the whole Marina arc consuming , the principal block , and another adjoining it , have disappeared . A great pari of thc contiguous blocks in thc west have also been destroyed in part . Wc may truly say that what has been the general depot of the great part of thc commercial wealth of tlieir city has now been made a prey to the dames . "The losses Lave been Incalculable , and consternation so great that the streets were blocked up with men , women , and children , Hying for their lives from the flames . Thc splendid house of Don Vicente dcJunco has been destroyed .
INDIA AND CIIINA—Overland Mail . Loxnox , Fjtin . vr MouMXfi , Avovst 1 . —Despatches have been received , anticipatim ? the arrival of the Overland Mail from Bombay . Tiie dates are—llom-Uiy , June 10 ; Calcutta . June S ; Madras , June 10 ; China , May G ; Egypt , July 19 ; and Malta , July 2-1 . The present mail , as far as political intelligence is concerned , is certainty a . barren one . From Suiuiic ho news is usually goad news , and wc see little reason for questioning the accuracy of tho definition on this occasion . From the Southern Mahratta country wc have no news save what relates to a few military movements .

Sir II . rEEt enured into a statement of tho views of the Government , having for their object thc rendering the annual aud increased educational grants more generally useful in a double point of view—that of elevating the statix of the teachers and the quality of ihe education given to the pup : ! .

The orders of the day were then disposed of , and thc house adjourned . Wednesday , Jcly 30 , The house ract at twelve o ' clock , and proceeded at once with public business . On the motion for going into committee of supply ,
THE RAILWAY ACCIDENTS . Mr . Rebn-al called attention to the recent accidents on railways , and contended that where parlies were deriving large profits from them , the public had a right to expect that every attention should be devoted to the safety of those who travelled hy them . Sir G . Clekc stated the steps taken by the Board of Trade in all such cases ; and , after a short discussion , Sir It . Peel , amidst repeated cheers , said that the railway directors were bound to protect the public . It was no answer when accidents occurred to say that in coach travelling accidents were more frequent—they should seek to have uo accidents at all . If railway proprietors failed in making proper provision for the safety of the public , he was satisfied that Parliament would not hesitate to diminish their profits , witli a view to provide more efficaciously for the security of the lives ot those whom they conveyed .
SATIO . VAL DEFENCES , Lord r . ixnEasTox stated some circumstances of mismanagement on the Dover Hue which hail come under his own observation ; after which , he called attention to the state of our national defences . It was true , he said , that wc were ou the best ' tonus with France , hut it was to he recollected , nevertheless , that France had an army- of 330 , 000 men—a large naval force , particularly in war steamers—that a steam bridge might be thrown across the Channel without any difficulty should
tlie present good understanding unhappily be broken , which it might be any month in the year , and that iu such an event we were powerless for resistance . The noble lord argued at some length for the necessity of calling out our militia as usual for the fall period ol -S days , by which course we might reckon upon a force of 30 , 000 men , if requisite , in ease of an invasion , at an expense of only iMO . UUO ; aud he also contended for the necessity of taking a larger vote than the one already agreed to for the construction of harbours of refuge .
Sir R . Peel said that this was a subject which , from a sense of public duty , he would not discuss in that house . There was no advantage in displaying to the world the extent of our resources ; but he would say this—that if a just war were to call forth the energies of tho British nation , there never was a period in which she could make a more powerful demonstration than at the present moment . With respect to harbours of refuge , he was of opiniou that they should ; rocced , as they were proceeding , cautiously . Tiie apprehension of the noble lord somewhat surprised him : for the noble lord was himself ten
rears iu office without being assailed by any fears , although the country was then in a much more defenceless position than at present . With respect to tlie calling out of ihe militia , he li aped the house would not press him to state the intentions of the Government . He would only say that he thought , in thc present state of society iu this country , that the present militia laws were not in any way adapted to it . Ue did not think that wc should be running a race of rivalry , not of commerce and civilisation , but of military display with France , or any other power , though he admitted that it was a nice point to judge where the necessity of self-defence terminated .
Lord IV . LMEasTo . v said he had suggested no rivalry of military power with other nations , lie had only referred to the great military power of France , and its means of descent by steam bridges . Sir It . Fell said that it was to he recollected that steam brielgcs were available to both parties , and that wc had steam bridges also . Lord 1 ' almeksto . v . —Yes , but we have not an army . Sir C . X . iriEii said that we were not so defenceless as the noble lord supposed , if it were really true , as he understood it to be , that in addition to 30 , 000 regular troops in England , we cuuld at any moment call out 50 , 000 serviceable pensioners , who had fought our battles in the Peninsula and elsewhere . The remainder of the evening was occupied in thc discussion of the estimates .
Thchsdat , July 31 . The Games and Wagers Bill was read the third time . The Fees ( Criminal Proceeding ) WM , and the Waste Laud ( Australia ) Bill n cut through committee . Tlie house then went into committee on the Quebec Address , praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to Older a grant not exceeding £ ' 20 , 000 to tiie sulii-i-ers from the recent lire in Quebec , which was agreed to . Tlie Silk Weavers' Bill was read a second time , Mr . W . II . Bodkin moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the removal of the poor . Leave was given to bring in the bill , which was read a first time .
