      prefer putting confidence in well tried anil Experienced leaders , rather than in men of whom we know nothing , or what little we do know is of a douhtful description . In conclusion , we can only say that the Jttfthern Star will he found , as it ever has \ ftgXl faithfully and earnestly discharging its duties to the people in a conscientioua and impartial spirit . Beyond that statement we need not sro . The past is a guarantee for the future . We have hoisted the standard , on which is emblazoned

      " THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER !'' s £ d \ in spite of the calumny an « opposition of open foes , and the detraction of professed friends to the cause , we shall -continue to hold that standard up orcr all agitations , until the cheering shout of victory-shall reverberate from shore to shore , aad g ladden the hearts of all ¦ who desire to see class fegislation abolished , and the people in the ftill enjoyment of all their political and social rights . « ONWARD AND WE CONQUER ! BACKWARD AND WE FALL !"

      The pressure of other important matter compels us to omit our ^ sual commentary upon the proceedings in Parliament . It will be seen by reference to our summary of them , that this is no great loss , as they have been of the usual hum-d rum character which marks the parlialiamentarv reiffa of the Whigs .

      ysS" We warn our readers that the . following accnunt of the aatoundina-eyentg of which Paris was the scene oa Monday last , is taken from the London daily papers , the bitter ^ enemies of the defeated party . ( From tfce Tikes . ) A procession to present a petition to the National Assembly , in favour of a forcible intervention in oetialt of Poland , havinpfceen arranged by the clubs : or Monday last , the people cemmenced assembling : n great numbers abjut ten o ' clock . At about twi Ivb 6 ' cl-ick the firat of the badie 3 who were to proceed to tbe Chamber of Representatives pa ^ std the Eoulevzrds dea Iialiens . They were Dot armed . In half ¦ r . n hour atterwards comtaenced the passage ot the ertat column .

      The persons composing these b 'dies were of almost ¦ erery grade of society , bat DioeteeB-twentieths of them at least were workmen or labourers . Mixed ¦ ap with them werr very > niauy National Guards , including several effieera . l'here were also in their rsUnS 60 ma Polca , whose moarntnl appearance . produced a censideraKe seneation among the by-8 * anderBIn the procesaioB was -cbserved parties of fifty or ;§ € -0 of the sections whoaa blouses were familiar to tha eye . having figured in 1 SS 2 , 1834 . 183 £ , and ^ February last . Bodies ef Communisiu were algo discernible , the leaders wearing red cravats , orrel scarf's . IIere and there were also some men in red capi . Then would come the clubs , composed each ut & hundred or two of well-dressed men , en bourgcoii ( plain clothes ) . Ali cried ' Vive la Pologoe ! ' * Vive li Uepubliqtu ! ' vehemently , and every man in the ucocession wore an air of determination . de la

      . ^ t the P . iut Coacurde , I § aw about thirty £ ? 2 tioDs ] Guards coming i from the Pa ace of tba As--erably cross the bridge , * 7 ho halted and formed as if with the inteHtion of pEsventing its passage by the people . The latter were well-trained it would ap (< e £ r , for , to the number ef- 390 or 400 , they ruebad on the National Guards , threw their arms round them , and induced them amid cries of fraternity to lower their musketaand unecrew their bayonets . dTfomthst moment the precession bad it all its own way . The whole column crossed the bridge , and . immediately divided into two partie ? , one takiagcthe left by tas Rue dOiBourgogne , the other the Q , ual d'Of-ay .

T-hey then penetrated iato the Assembly .

      This proceeding took pisce without violence , for the captain ot the guard ( of about sixty men ) , seeing himself in thepr » sence of I-aO . OOdmen , and not wiihtDgto be thrown into the Seine . Bheathed his sword and ordered his men to unscrew and sheatha their bayonet .

      N 1 TI 05 AL AESEMBLT . Shortly after the Assembly = had collected , the Presidentaanouoced that he had received a number of petitioss in favour of Poland ^ which had bees forwarded t £ o him by clubs and private individuals . He afterwards read & letter from the poet Beranger , again tendering his rejignatioq ; iirhica was accepted by the Assembly . After time questions had been put to the Minister of Foreign . Affairs i-a-pecting lttly , and answered , — Citatsn -WounrsKi tben weended the tribune to speak on Fclacd . ( Just as the Lunouraole minister began to Bpcak , s sound reached the interior of the Chamber of Bhouting outside . The sound becam * every momemt loaaer as , d louder and in the Assembly itself at iLasc a dead Bilence topk , place . Tnis , however , was net necessary , to enable ite persoDs inside to hear the continuous noite of tbe multitude outside . After avrtile , the doors outside were knocked against vioieEtiy . )

      A Mf . mbeb then rose and said : Let the doors of the hall be closed . ( Hear , hpar . ) A tumult arose from the efforts of een outside to get ia . Sodden . ? the doors of the Chamber were poshed open , a&d a number of repregectattves , who nad beenin the eammittee-roDin . hurrifid in aad took their places . Citizru UzGOUEaS here ascended the tribune amid cries of ' order , ordsr ! ' 'go on , go on ! ' to Citizen vVolowski . I have to announce , ' said Citizen Dev Suise . ' that contrjiry to the wishes of thePcesident , the o mmander of the National Guard hs . s ordered his men not to act , to replace their bayonets in tbe auEibard , ' [ Indescribable agi'ation followed tbis inn-nnctmenc , which ^ asincreased still m-Te when Hie tribunes at the esd cf the hall were violent ^ inraded bv aa immense crowd of people , who eatecsd , bearing banners and braccheB of trees , and crying , VivelaPologne .

      Cititeo Clement fHOjus appeared on the tribnne ^ Atd contrived to make bimsslf heard , whilst be said , i large bGCly of the people were outside , and moved oy sympathy for the Poles , wished to preseEt a petition in t&eir favour . Th « tumult here recommenced , shouting proceeding alike from the people , and answering cries trom tie members , who were seated , and from a crowd of other members who had collected around the : ribun 3 , when Citizen Barbes ascended and endeavoured to make himself heard . Several membirg got up beside him , acd endeavoured ts preventhim speaking . The other members L ' jen proceeded in the plan of drowning his voice , eo that it was impossible to hear mere than the deafen ing soyedof many voices . Citiesn Barbes over aad orer again held out hid hand to speak , and each time was greeted by cheers from the people in tbe alkries , aas hy exclamations from the members cf the Chamber .

      mtnsB crowds , snd at occe went down to the * nri of tho hal : in triumph ; the shouts lrom the tribunes increased , atd the people above let themselves down ( perhaps forty ieet ) by the pilhr 3 to join their cemrade 8 b ? low . ' Barbes BtiUremaining in the tribune , the crowd oi people , all in blouses , almost collected round the tribune , Btretching out their bands to him with enthusiasm , and looking up to him as if to their delherer . At this moment tho reporters' gallery , which pre viously had been spared , waB in itB turn entered .

      Citizen Lorjis Blakc then got up on the railing cIoeo to the Pnsident ' s chair , and , after many etfort ? , obtained aheanag . Citissuo , said » e , I propose to you that this petition ol the people , in tavour of Poland , bo read in the Assembly . ( Trereendou . s-houts from the intruders . ) The people are calm in their force , and the petition ought to be read ano diacu'sed at once , that it may not be 8 a > d tuat tftfc peoplohave , by their entering here , sinned ogamst thair own sovereignty . ( Renewed oheers and acclamations . ) , Citineu Rabpail then read tha petition and at the conclusion ot some of the paasagee tremendous

      acoiamations arose . The petition conoluded with the words ' Vive i » Pologne ! ' and this cry was taken up with such a shout bb 1 cannot find words to express to you—it came sharp , load , and universal , like the diicharnu or a cannou shot , only lasting tor a considerable time . Cifreen Barbm then mounted on the eatrade near the President's chair , at > d eaid , that he should propose that the National Assembly declare that tD 8 people of Paris had merited well ot their country . ( Tremendous applause from the people . ) Citizen Blamjui now appeared in the tribune , ana at last succeeded in obtaining a hearing , and

      addressed the Assembly in favour of Poland . Alter speaking of the neoessity of having a Btrong will and a univereal determination manifested in Franca in favour of Poland ( which sentiment was tremendously applauded ) , he proceeded to speak of tho maBsaore ai Rouen , and demanded that the prisons of that City should be opened , and the people confined there ( or the late disturbances set at liberty . ( Renewed applause . ) lie added that there must be a spe < ial Minister of Labour . ( Reiterated cheers . ) The Assembly must , without intermission , without step , without manifestation of fatigue , continuously concert together , to give work , to give bread to the people . ( Cheering as before . )

      Citizen Lsdbu-Roixih ascended the tribune , and wasccceived ^ ltu universal aecamations from the I eople . He alluded t > the j ustice ot their demand in favour of Poland : » poke ot the admirable good senee of the people of Paris ; declared that the people had set theii grievances before the Assembly with justice , and that without doubt they would be properly attended Co . But he would appeal to their setitte of justice , if it were poiBible io deliberate in such a tumult . He called on them to withdraw on the inhtant , and allow the National Assembly to do iu duty , and decide what was to be done . ( He was loudly applauded , except fit the close , when murmurs Vvice 8 : Let it voteatoace ! The matter his been sufficiently debated ! We have enlightened the Aseembiy 1

      Citizen Babbe * here agein appeared in the tribuue , and addressed tbe crowd . The first thing heard was , ' A fixed tas of a milliard Bhall be levied on ihe rich , to cirry . on the war for Poland . ' All the cheers of the day were mere trifles to that which now barst forth . I thought it would never cease . Juit as it was dying away , LouiB Blase was recognised amongst the crowd , and being lifted on their shoulders , was fcorne to tho end of the ball in triumph , amidst the loudest cries of' Vivo LouU Blanc ' A cry here arose ' They are beating the rappel V which having been repeated , it wag answered by the dreadful bxciamatioa of' Aux armes 1 ' This did not , however meet with snuch encouragement , * Let them beat them it ! What is that to us ! ' In the midrt of the uproar and emotion excited by these exclamations .

      Citizen Baebes again addr esed the crowd , and said that the people haring manifestly merited well of their country , whoever should order the rappel to be beaten should be declared a traitor to his country , aod Iwrs la 4 oh ! ( As usual , thunders of a > plause greett d the speaker ) All this time the President ( who hadmadebut a short stay outaite ) was from time to time ringing his inefficient bell . But a new orator had taken noisession of the tribune , and by the sileDce which followed his advent , it was a favourite of the crowd . I found it to ba

      Citizen Hubert , who had been a political prisoner in ttie time ef the former government . ' CiiiEenr , he < ried , * I proclaim , in the name of the sovereign people of France , that the National Assembly is dis solved . " ( What Bbouting arose here it is useless to attempt to describe—1 thought it . would never cease . ) The President of the Assembly then put on his ha ; and retired , followed by the whole of the members . The cry was then raised ' To the Hotel de Ville , ' and the great body of tiie people left the hall of the Assembly , and proceeded to the Hot ? l .

      Barboa . Raspeil , Hubert , and Blanqui , escorted by many thousands of the people easily obtained pogaei-Bion of the Uotd'de Ville . The banner of the clubs was tubuituted 'for tbe national colours , and the people occupying the window ? , as on the 24 th of February , cried , ' Vive Barbes ! Vive la Republiqae Damocratique !! ' Some windows and doorB w « re broken , barbea was one of the first who entered tbe Hotel de Ville , with a dozen of his friends . lie moanted on a table placed in one of the rooms in the right mng « . and read the names of the member * of the provisional government , which he had announced to the . chamber . Many objections were made to tbe names of Ledru-Roilin ati < d Fiocon , but at last the former was received but the latter rejected . The names of Sobrier , Thore ; Caussidiere , Blanqui , Cabet , Raspail , End Proudhou were accepted with acclamations . Other names wero meationed , with that of Albert ; they were also ac cepted , and proclaimed n ? embers of the provisional government .

      A voice cried , ' They are goirjg to earrourjd the Hotel de Ville , and kill our brothers . Make haste , CitizsB Barbes 1 ' Panic took possession of the Assembly , which was composed of 3 : 890 or 4 . O 0 O perrons in blouses , amongst whom were some national guards and a pampier of the banlieu , the same who ha 4 spoken in the public Bitting . Many persons leaped over the tables and benches , which were npEet , aad injured several . Barbes , after s imomeni of consideration , retired to tbe first room of the left wing , and then into tbe old ball of conference . It was said that many of tbe members of his aerr government c « nue to join him , amongst whom were Albert and Thore . M . Barbes and his friends wrote the names of the Ecabers of the new provisional government , and some of the bystanders threw th-e-alips of paper out of the window on the square .

      The ' generate' was heard being beaten without , and the garde netional was advancing ia strong bodies . Barbes , his'friends , and about eighty of the people then retired into a little room adjoining that of which we have spoken . The tumult became frightful . Barbes and his friends shut themselves into the small room , and posted eeveral armed persons at the door . At sis o ' clock Barfees was writing a proclamation when two captains and half a d < zan national guards £ f the 3 rd and i ' . h legion entered the hall . ' Barbes ! Where « s Barbes ?

( Movement . ) After a few remarks , this authorisation was grunted . M , Garnier PiGES : I wish to render to the Aeiemb ] y an account of the measurfs taken by the Executive Committee . From tbe morning we were aware that certain agitators intended making some attempt , and we gave positive orders to have troops placed about the Assembly . These orders were not prouerly executed . When we kcew that this Hbuildin was menaced , three cf ua came here , and two wont to the Loxembourg , | and from tbenepjisiued orders to tbe armed force . When wo learned late in the day that

      a factious orowdhad invaded tho hall of deliberation , we ordered the forceB to be concentrated on this point , and the Nations ! Guard at once responded to our call . At present our duty ia to provide for the necessities of a severe repression . The persons who conspired are already in custody .

      extraerdina » y ; I pray you to be well convinced of what is passing in the country , I wished to speak to tbe people , with a profound conviction , with the dignity of one of your colleagues I am deeply grieved at seeing that you inserted in your regulations a clause which seemed to p lace the people under the freight of a suspicion . ( Tiolent murmurs , and oriea of ' order , order . ') I cannot but persist with respect to Poland in the sentiments which the people have manifested . ( The crieB of ' order' redoubled )

      M . Landrin demanded that authorisation Bhcmld ba given also to proceed judicially against the citizen Albert . After a Bhort discussion this was agreed to , the Minister of Commerce ( M . Fiocon ) being the only person who stood up against it . The Assembly rose at a quarter past nine .

      T 0 EC 1 BLB BTJF-PRESBIHN OF IHE CLUBS . On Monday evening , all the principal club rooms were occupied by troops , and the clubs were prevented from meeting . B'anqui ' g , Cabet ' e . and Barbeij ' s olab » were occupied by the troops without reiigt « nre or disturbance . Ac a . club in tbe Pas-« ftga Moliere , Rug St Martin , the caBe was different . The clubbistfl resisted—the soldiers fired , snd it is said that four persons were killed and ten wounded . THE TBISOJJ BBS . Cahei is said to bo- amongst the arrested . At five o ' olock on Tuesday monung the prieoners , strongly guarded , were sent to the dungeons of Viucennes . It is said that seventy-five in the body guard kept by Sobrier , in tbe house of the Rue de Rivoli , wore arrested . In the eame house a large quantity oi arms and ammunition was found .

      THE NATIONAL ABfSMBLY . The approaches to the Chamber were everywhere defended by troops . The gates of the Tuileries GardOD 8 , next to the p'acc de la Concorde , were clofed , but the high walks inside were crowded with spectator . The place itself was on every point held by the National Guard 3 and Garde Mobile No person was allowed to pass unless showing good reason for so doinp . Both ends of the bridge were held by tha Garde Mobile , and the cotuigne was even strioter here than on the other points . The whole of the steps lcadiDg up to the peristyle were covered with troops , principally the Garde Mobile . Later in the day a park of artillery arrived and took up its station before the Chamber in front of the bridge . Down the Rue de Bur ; ogne a vast number of National Guards were posted—in faot , everything gave tbe idea of a town in a state of war .

      The proceedings commerced with nn altercation between the President and the members , in the course of which the former was severely reproached for not ordering the beating of the rappd . Citizen Garnier Pages ^ aid that the bouse in which Sobrier resided had been surrounded and entered , and that individual , with seventy-five of his men , srmted , and the warlike stores illegally placed in hia possession seiied by the National Guard . The Club ef the Rightsof Man , which assembled at the Palais Riya ! , ' was closer ) , and its paper seized . Tho club over which Blaiq'ii presided had

      likewise been closed , and the Committee was determined not to allow , in future , any seditious meeting to deliberate in arms . The prisoners bud all ibeen transferred t" the Cattle ot Vincennes Among them were Barbes Blanqui , Albert . Sobrii-r , Rsspail and his nephew , Colonel Saiaset . and others . The government bad , moreover , pronounced the dissolution , dispersion , and disarmament of the Corps ot Mont » gnards . As to tke Prefecture of Police , they had found in its chief a complete obedience , but bad thought proper to change the personnel with whom he was surrounded .

      A lone diaouasion t allowed on the conduct of Citit ^ n Caussidiere , the Prefect of Police , in the course ot which he was fiercely assailed by the ' Moderates . ' He defended himself with great energy , but was booted and howled at by his enemies , who affected to disbelte-va hia every statement . Among the propositions brought forward in the Assembly to-day , was one by M . Billault , to interdict , under nevere penalties , all tumultuous meetiDgD within 1 , 500 metrea of the Chamber . It was ordered to be referred to the Committee on Justice . M . Louis Blano was in the Assembly . In passing to and from it he was hooted by the National Guard .

      In tho Mohitbjjr there are two decrees accepting tbe resignation of M . Guinard , as chief of the Btalf of the National Guard , dismissing M . Saissel , as sub-chief ' , who are both implicated in the crime of General Courtais , And there ia also an important order by the Minister of the Interior , revoking the appoiatment 8 of all thecommiesioners-generaiofthe department from the 18 th inat . The Moniicck eoetains an official notice that Citizen CauaBidiore , the Prefect of Police , has sent in his resignation to the Executive Government , and that it has baen accepted . The general secretary of the Prefecture has also resigned . Tbe Moniteur contains decrees disbanding the Republican Guard , the Montagnards , the Lyonnais , and other similar bodies , and instituting instead a corps of 2 000 Infantry and 600 Cavalry under the name of Garde Rtpublicaine Pamienne .

      The Republican Guard , under the command of Caussidiere have evaouated the office of the Prefecture of Police . There are conflicting accounts of this affair . One account represents the Guard as dispersed , another that they have taken possession of the Convent of the CaleBtines , in the Rue St Victoire , which the government has allowed them to occupy aa a barracks During tho early part of the day the approaches to the Chamber were , if pcsaible , more strictly guarded than tbe preceding day . The President informed the Assembly that he bad received a letter from CUizan Caussidiere resigning his seat aa representative of the people .

      The Communr de Pakis , edited by Sobrier , and the Vraie Repiblique , conducted by Thore , have ceased to appefir . It ib said that the political prisoners number upwards of two hundred . It ia announced that M Raisin , Governor of the Luxembourg has been ai rested .

He had to inform the meeting that as the National Assembly waa dissolved , ho thought it would henceforth bo advisable to avoid all unprofitable discussion respecting tbatdefunct Assembly ; its premature birth would account forks sickly constitution , and ho regretted that the country generally did not rightly appreciate the Soand policy which dictated Mr O'Connor's recommendation to defer the election of a National Assembly until the Chartifit leader and tbe people were better prepared , The meeting separated with evident feelings of mutual satisfaction .

P ., had convened a meeting , to be held on Wednesday , the 10 th instanr , for the purpose of manufacturing a loyal Address to the Queen , for her ' ea e deliverance' on the lO . h ef April , Tbe meeting was called in the middle of tbe week , and afc three o ' clock Jn the afternoon—a time most inconvenient to the working men ; however , with all their trickery , a most noble army ef

      workmen did attend . The tyrants endeavoured to pack the room before the time , but the Chartists went ia a body and forced them to open tho doo ? . The building was crammed in a few minutes , and the heat was so great that a number of persons were obliged to go out . The Rev . Mr Campbell , one of our clergymen , was proposed to take the chair . J . E . llutchins , Erq ., of Dowlaia , eae of the Whig party , proposed a resolution bursting with loyalty ; tho reading of the same caueed such a tumult and confusion that they could not proceed further . They were obliged to call one of the Chartist leaders to the

      front of the hustings , to restore order . After Bilence waa partially restored . Mr William Gould , grecer , and an old Chartist , commenced exposing the base treachery of tha Whigs , for the last fifty year . ) . Tbe Whig tumult was now boyoad description . R-ibert Jones , ft draper , and another of the Whig rump onmmenced addressing the meeting , but was in stantly hooted down . Then tluy read their loyal address . Mr Henry Thomas proposed the Chartist address as an amendment , which was read : Mr Matthew John also illustrated tho baseness of the Whigj , and contrasted the taxeB wrung from the poor of this country with the taxes of the United States and other countries in

      Europe , » nd proved that the working men of tbi ? country are more loyal than any other country in the world , else they would nottanie ' y submit to be robbed . Now the amended address was > ut to the meeting , when there were about threefourths of the hands hold up in its favour , and the remaining one-fc . urth was held up for the Whig address . The pious parson could not havo tbe face to tell before the meeting that there was a majority for the Whig address , but did so after the Ciwrliste had left . We are sure the Whigs will never call another meeting in this town for such a purpose again , for they never had such a thrashing in this town before .
