      TRANCR Nothing was ftlked about ofi Saturday but the tevere check « &ich tbe ministers received ths day before , by tbc defeat of these intention to bring forjrard the kw of mayors before the recess . The influence isf tbe goveraureEt over the muHtcipalUJes as strenuessly resisted by the legitimists , who up-. hold the franchises of the communes , tret from any love to freedom , bnt because they feel that here ties jflie stronghold of tbeicwvn power , ft was ia accordmce with this opinion that the legitimist reporter of the committee , M . LaboeKe , drew up a report so unfaveurable to the gtrernment ' s bill .

      Tbe union which prevails on thissaroject thwughout all shades of the legitimist party was erinod with retaarkable clearness ; and it became evident that by , a coaliiion wifli the Left tbey -could at any mo-j Bent defeat the government . This has been often apprehended but seldom sbwn ra se striking a yjTaner .. .. Paris . SoxBiY . —ThehSfethe tether restriction of the liberty of thcpessm France , ifcer Baying , been silo wed to i-e dormrat for -seme ninths , has been resuscitated . M . -de Chsssefarn-Rabat , who drew up the report of the committee , yesterday presented it to the Assembly . The fol-4 lowing are tfee principal 'points of difference betweea the MU as orieinaBj presented by the ^

      evernment , and that now laid'bef . ore'tb . e Assembly Siy M . Ghasseloup-Lflubat . . . j In the original bill $ he cantiaa-raoney yeas de- ; dared to be feed in the departments of the "Seine , ' Seine-et—Marne , Seine'et-O ' ne ,-end the Rhone , as ; follows . — 'If the journal 13 published wore than ; tsdeeiweek , either on fixed-days or irregularly , the ! eaution-money shallbeSOjOOOf . ^ it shall be 40 000 .: if the journal is published only twice * -week : ; and ; JOjOOOf . if the journal only appears once a week , ; Or at greater imervds . "' The-committee proposes ' that when the joarsal appears more than three ' times a week , the-eaution-maney shallte 24 . 000 f . J tod if only three times a week , or less , 18 * 009 .

      Again , the government bill went on to say-: — - * The CJUtioB-money . of journals appearing more than twice a week in the departments , other than those q { the Seine , Seme-et-Marne , Ssine-et-Oise , and file Rhone , shall be 20 , 000 f . for towos of 50 , 00 . 9 inhabitants and over ; I 2 . 0 Q 6 L for Ubs considerable towns ; and , respectively , the half of these two turns for journals or periodical publications appearing , at most , twice a week . ' Here the committee seduces the amount to € , « Wf . and 3 , 6 Q 0 f ., and to one-half of these amounts in the cases just specified . The bill of the committee also * contains several articles to regulate the keeping up of the full

      amount of caution-money in cases of fine . With respect to the stamp-duty , the government bill declued that within fifteen days after the promulgation of the present bill a fixed stamp-duty shall be imposed on journals and periodical publications , BO matter what may be their size . It shall be 4 c . the sheet on periodical journals , publications , or engravings of less than two leaves of impression , published in the departments of the Seine , Seine-et-Oise , Seiue-et-Marne , and Rhone , and in the arrondissements containing a town of 50 , 000 inhabitants , or over . The journals and other periodical publi . titions published elsewhere shall pay a stamp-duty

      of 2 c the sheet . ' The bill of the committee proposes to say , that after July 15 all journals or periodical publications of less than ten leaves of thirty-two centimetres square , or less than five leaves of from sixty-nine to seventy-two decimetres ¦ gquare , shall pay a duty of 6 c in tbe departments of the Seine and the Seine-et-Oise , and 2 c everywhere else . The payment of this duty will enable journals to be sent free , those paying 6 s . all over the territory of the ~ Republic , and those paying 2 c . within the department where tbey are published , lnd tbe departments teaching it on every side . All

      journals which are to he sent beyond these latter limits must pay 4 c additional . In Paris lc will be remitted when the journal is distributed at the cost of the proprietor . The exceptions to these regulations are to be scientific and reli gions works , periodicals devoted to edocational purposes , &c . The majority in faveur of Mr . Roebuck ' s motion was announced to tbe public here last night , by a telegraphic despatch , published in the ministerial papers . Singularly enough the figure , forty-six , Coincides exactly with the conservative majority of the French ministers upon their cabinet question of the dotation .

      The 'Siecle was seized yesterday , in consequence of an article alluding to the old affair ofM . Teste , and drawing parallels which reflected on the government . The * Siecle' is to be prosecuted for exciting to hatred of the authorities . A duel with swords has just taken place at Versailles between M . Clary and M . Valentin , the Montapird representative , in consequence of some re * narks on M . Valentin , in a letter addressed b y M . Clary to the Moniteur . ' M .

      INDIA AND CHINA . CATASTROPHE AT BENARES . A terrific explosion took place at Benares , in India , by which upwards of 1 , 000 lives were lost . A fleet of thirty-five boats , containing government ordnance stores , amongst which were 3 , 000 barrels ( 330 OflOlbs . ) of gunpowder , arrived at Benares en route to the upper provinces on the afternoon of the 1 st of May , and were moored off the Rsj Ghaut ( the principal landing place of the city , ) in the centre of the town . A little after ten p . m . one of these boats caught fire , and immediately after the whole exploded , sinking all the boats near the landing place , and destroying or injuring every one

      within a certain range . By the latest accounts the killed and wounded amounted to 1 , 200 , but more were continually being disinterred b y the 300 men at work in removing the ruins . ! The Raj Ghaut Hotel , the Begum ' s Palace , and the Mansion House are amongst the principal buildings destroyed , and the missionary ' s wife , the Begum and her family , are amongst the victims . On the river , all the thirty-five ordnance boats were snnk or destroyed , together with twenty-ei ght boats laden with beer , the property of Messrs . Crump and Co ., of Cawnpore , and also twelve or fifteen laden with mer " chandise belonging to natives . The crews of these boats have , with very few exceptions , perished .

      The European who was in charge of Messrs Crump and Co . ' s boats , escaped , being pulled insensible out of the water ; his wife and family perished . A court of inquiry is sitting , but the conductor in charge is supposed to be almost the only survivor to tell the tale . Much of the sunken ordnance stores , field-pieces , &c , are supposed to be recoverable . The magistrates and other authorities have exerted themselves to the utmost . 300 prisoners were employed immediately in exhuming tbe sufferers . The flagrant impropriety of intrusting so large a flotilla of such a character to an irresponsible understrapper , and of allowing it to be moored . close to the quays of a densely-populated city , is much commented on b y tbe Indian papers .

      The downward tendency of the Nizam ' s affairs appears daily more marked , and the speedy seizure for deht by the English government of the valley Of Bec * n is confidently anticipated . The China papers of the last month are barren of incident . Business is reported rather dull . The pirate chief Sbap'igtsai ( whose fleet was recemlv destroyed by the English men-of-war in the Gulf of Tonquin ) had given in his submission to the Chinese government on terms which secured office to himself and his lieutenants , and amnesty for his followers . He is now a mandarin of the fifth grade . His followers are pardoned , and ' affectionately admonished to return to their homes and endeavour to become good subjects . '

      Recent accounts from , Cochin China state that cholera made its appearance in that country in the latter part of last yeer , and had committed great ravages , traversing the whole kingdom . It broke out in the month of September , in the royal province , and quickly spread through the other provinces , proceeding in a northern direction . It attained the greatest malignit y in the month 0 ' October , after which it diminished in intensity 5 but at the latest dates it bad not entirel y ceasedi occasionally exhibiting renewed vigour . In the Royal province the most moderate and trustworthy estimates state the number of victims at 20 000

      although some carry the reckoning as high as 100 , 000 ; and ft is thought that the other provinces have lost from 10 , 000 to 15 , 000 inhabitants each . The greatest consternation prevailed , and the usual care and respect for the dead , which so strikingly characterise the Chinese nations , were entirely lost sight of . The corpses were thrown out into the fields and rivers , in some places actually obstructing the streams , and persons who had been seized with the malady were cast out of their houses before life had departed . A great drought had also' prevailed , followed by famine , the rice crops having almost entirely failed , and the inhabitants were

      reduced to the Utmost misery , feeding upon leaves and whatever they could possibly use as a mean 9 of preserving life . Unusually heavy rains afterwards followed , completing whatever of the . work of destruction the drought had left unaccomplished , and sweeping away the few paddy fields which the miserable inhabitants had been able with much toil and perseverance to form . We have not learnt whether the cholera had appeared in Cambodia , but it can scarcely have escaped a visitation , considering the virulence with which it had prevailed on both sides of it in the adjoining kingdoms of Stam and Cochin China .

      AMERICA . By the Rojal Mai ! Steam-shf p America , Captain Shannon , we have advices from -New York direct to the 19 th , and Halifax to the 21 st ult . We learn that the Cuban affair was entirely settled , the American prisoners ; having been released after passing through the form of a trial . A rencontre bad taken place in New York between Mr . N . P . Wills and Mr . Edwin Forrest , in which the former was seriously injured . Forrest had charged Willis with the seduction of his ( Forrest ' s ) wife . . The steam-ship Griffiths was burnt within twenty miles of Cleveland , and upwards of 200 persons drowned and burnt . The application of Professor Webater for a new trial bad been unsuccessful .

      A Brazilian vessel , with 240 slaves on board , had been captured off Cuba , and taken into Port Roya .

      CALIFORNIA . May 25 . —The Panama Echo' gives an account of an attack on the office of that paper b y a body of the natives , who did a vast deal of damage , and killed several American ; . The pretext for these outrages was the arrest of a negro ' boy who had stolen a trunk value 800 dol ., the property of the editor of the Echo , ' which is an American paper , A protest against the insecurity to life and property which prevailed at Panama had been signed by the British , French , and Chilian Consuls , which bad the effect of eliciting a proclamation frsm the Governor of the province , detailing stringent regulations for the peace of the city . The hthmuB is very insecure , and many attacks upon the lives and effects of American emigrants had taken place-About 2 , 000 persons were at Panama waiting passage to California .

The . prisoner said , ; " I wastkmkingof ^ aing to AustrnTiamyself , for I was a-gentleman '^ sewant , who , whon ( he died , . left « no a large sum dfisnoney , but Iihad a great deal . oftrouble in getting it , though 5 have been io 1 Doctors ' -commocs this morning , And have got the ! money at last ;"; Rnd as he made this last observa- ' tion , : he tooktfrom his pocket a large roll of some- ' thingresembling bank notes and a purse which ap- ' peared to eontak a large quantity of gold . Hetfaeri -saidthat the . authorities at Daetors ' -commons had

      recommended 'him not to let any but parties of whose respectability he was assured know what good fortunehal attended him in Ms legal proceedings , and upouthis , the man who accosted the proseontor putihie band in his pocket and produced a poll of " flash" notes , a proceeding which induced the prisoner ; to say " that will do , that shows me thrcfc you are airespectable man , " and the man then aflfeed the prosecutor if he could produce any money to show that he was respectable . The prose-¦ cutor said he < eould not , but could getsomo for the matter of that , and , acting upon a suggestion , of the prisoner , he went to a house he was Iking at , 10 , < Globe-streefc , Wa pping , and fetched a £ 10 note arid six sovereigns , and returned

      to the house . The prisoner expressed himself satisfied as to ¦ t&e prosecutor ' s respectability , ' when he saw the' money , and at his suggestion it was Agreed to accompany , him to his lodging ; and on their way up the City-road the prisoner and his accomplice , the man who first spoke to the proseeutor , induced him to enter the Red Lion publichouse , and there they had some ale . The prisoner again boasted of his money , and said that as his companions were respectable men , he would lend them £ 50 each , and the man expressing his thanka said he would eo and fetch a couple of bill stamps .
