      Aa extensive and alarming fire broke . rot on Friday morning at the extensive establishment , of Messrs Collard and Collard , pianoforte-makers , Oval-rca * . Camden Town . Powerful assistance auickly arrived , and every means were resorted to for a supply of water from the street mams , but svater could oniy be supplied for one engine out of ten . The flames spread with uninterrupted fury , and ere the engines could bo removed to the side of the canal , every floor ( four in number ) , together with their contents , were one burning mass . All hope of saving any portion of the valuable stock , ef course , was at an end , and having continued for three hours , nothing was visible but a portion of the bare walls . From information obtained from one of the firm , it appeared that an ordo ? to the amount of £ 20 , 000 had been finished the day previous for abroad , and due notice had been given to

      for the attendance of vans that morning convey the goods to the wharfs . The fire was totally subdued by eight o ' clock . Messrs . CoJlard are insured in the West of England , Norwich Union , Scottish Union , and County Offices . During the day the surveyors of the different insurance offices visited tho scene for the purpose of learning tne extent of the leas , and , if possible , how the disaster originated . Respecting the latter not the least idea could be formed , and until the ruins are perfectly cooled it will be impossible to state with accuracy the precise amount of property consumed- ~ but one thing is quite certain , that many thousand pounds' worth of instruments alone have been reduced to ashes . The whole of the workmen have likewise been bereft of their tools , each man ' s stock being on the average worth about £ 25 . The majority , we were informed , were uninsured .

      Determined Suicide at Londok-bmoge . —On Friday evening , a person of gentlemanly appoarance , was observed looking over tho stone work , on the upper side of the bridge , near the Fishmonger ' B-hall , and before he could be reached the unfortunate man ran to the first recess , where he jumped on to the seat and thenco precipitated himself into the river . Nothing was seen or heard of him afterwards . ¦ Suspicious Death at Westminster . — On Friday evening an inquest was held on tbe body of George Tapsell , aged thirty-six , a theatrical dedecorator , at the time employed at the Marylebone Theatre , and residing at 12 , Brewer ' a-green , Westminster . Wra . Melville , a labourer , stated that at a little before seven on Wednesday morning , he saw two other men who had got possession of a hat ,

      which was found lying on the shore near Grosvenorwharf , and in it was a card with the address of the unfortunate deceased on it , and in the after part of the day on passing near the Penitentiary at Millbank , he , on looking over the wall , perceived the body of a man lying in the water . He also saw another man get over the parapet and pick up the body . Another -witness named Lightfoot , the deceased's father-in-law , proved that he saw him last alive on Sunday night , at bis house ; he was then in excellent spirits ; but a short time previous had had two or three days' illness . The deceased left him on Tuesday morning to go to the theatre . The surgeon , Mr . Lavies , examined the body externally , but could discover no marks of violence on it . Verdict , "Found drowned , but how , there was not sufficient evidence to show . " Asotheii Explosion at WoonrnoBPB Colliery .

      —An accurate plan of the workings being required for production at the assizes , on the occasion of Oldfield ' s trial , Messrs . John Wood and G . P . Wall , pupils of Mr . T . D . Jeffcock , colliery viewer , descended the Shaft on Wednesday , for the purpose of making the necessary surveys . They were accompanied by John Sellars , the fire trier at the Soaphouse pit , and three other colliers in the employ of Mr . Rhodes , the lessee of the works . While the survey was proceeding with , Mr . Wood walked forward into the break with a candle ,

      followed by one of the colliers named Potts . They had not proceeded far before the flame of the c : \ ndle came into contact with a volume of sulphurous gas , which suddenly exploded with a loud noise . Mr . Wood waa knocked down , and severely burnt and bruised ; Potts , also , waa thrown down , but escaped with a slight singeing ; the others fortunately escaped unhurt . JSoafter damp followed , or the consequences would have been most calamitous . Mr . Wood was immediately conveyed home , and attended by Mr . William Jackson , under whose care he is fast recovering .

      Fire at Wappisg . —A fire took place on Thursday on the premises of Mr . James Stiff , ~ 8 o . 11 , Crown-court , Wapping . A Police-constable , No . 131 , having succeeded in arousing the residents , they found tho staircase so full of smoke , that the moment the upper room doors were opened the occupants vrere overpowered . One of the lodgers , who had lost his leg , in tho confusion consequent on the alarm being given , could not find his wooden one , and therefore was unable to escape , or help in

      assisting his five children to get out . The policeman , at the risk of losing his own life , rushed through the smoke and happily succeeded in saving the lives of the six persons . The engines soon arrived , but , in spito of the exertions of the firemen , they wore unable to get tho mastery over the fl ; ime 3 until the premises of Mr . Stiff were all but destroyed ; the back rooms belonginjr to Mr . Corden considerably damaged by fire , and the house of Mr . Norris , No . S , Great Hermitage-street , much burnt .

      vice-chancellor ' s oourt . Soitau v . Db Help . — Thb Monastery at Clmtham . — Judgment . — This case , which had been argued for three days , received judgment on Tuesday . The case came on a demurrer . to a bill for an injunction to restrain the ringing of the bells at the monastery of the Redomptioiiist Fathers at Acre-lane , Clapham . Tho demurrer was for want of equity generally , for that the nuisance complained of was not a private nuisance , and Morefore the Attorney-General should have been made a party , and that the action at law upon which the plaintiff had obtained a verdict was not the case upon which the bill was framed , neither were the

      statutory prohibitions effectual . At the conclusion of the arguments upon the demurrer , his Honour simply overruled it , and reserved his opinion therefore until he had heard the motion . —The Vice-Chancellor , in giving judment , cited several cases in point . It appeared to his Honour that the plaintiff had diligently asserted his rights , and was entitled to the injunction , but only on the terms of the latter part of the injunction asked for , — namely , to restrain the defendant , and all persons acting under his directions , or by his authority , from tolling or ringing the bells in the plaintiff ' s bill mentioned , or any of them , so as to occasion any nuisance , disturbance , and annoyance to the plaintiS and his family residing in the plaintiff ' s dwelling , house in the bill mentioned .

      YORK . Murder at Wakbfibi-d . —Sarah Ann Hill , - 25 , was indictod for wilful murder at Wakefield on the 20 th of October last . —The evidence was chiefly circumstantial , the prisoner being charged with , the murder of her newly-born infant , The jury found the ' prisoner Guilty , and his lordship sentenced her to death , holding out no hope that mercy would he extended to her . FfiLONiora Assault on a Married Woman . — Simeon Stocks , 26 , and John Morris , 21 , were charged with having , on the 16 th of July last , at Bii'Stel , near Leeds , feloniously assaulted Bridget Brannagan . —It was proved in tho clearest manner that the prisoners bad committed the offence with which they were charged under circumstances of

      great atrocity , and they were sentenced to transportation for ten years . Messrs . Kitson and Co . ' s Struck , —James Wilkiuaon and John Ackroyd were indicted for having , on tho 17 th of last November , unlawfully wounded Robert Mortimer , at Leeds . —This case arose in consequence of and was connected with aturn-out of the workmen of Messrs . liitson and Co ., of Leeds , engineers , in whose employment the prosecutor was engaged as a smith , and forgotaau after the turn-out . The prisoner Wilkinson bad formerly been in Messrs . Kitson ' s employment until the turn-out took place a few months ago . The prosecutor refused to join in the turn-out , and continued in Messrs . Kitson ' s employment , and in consequence became very obnoxious to ihO 3 e who

      had been his fellow workmen . Ifc became necessary for Messrs . Kitson to employ other workmen from a distance , and those men and the men who refused to join the turn-outs were called "nob-sticks , " and "black sheep , " and were insulted by the workmen who had joined the strike in going to and returning home from work . These annoyances proceeded to such an extent that in October last it was found necessary to place police officers near the works of Messrs . Kitson to protect the men and preserve the peace . This state of things continued till the morning of the 17 th of last November , and as the prosecutor was going to his work about half-past six o'clock , and when about 100 yards from his own house , which was at a place called Richmond Hill , be was set upon by three men standing in the road ,

      one of whom he saw was the prisoner Wilkinson , whom he had known for fourteen years . Wilkinson struck him withabludgeon . whichknockedhim down into the hedge bottom ; another of the men , whom the prosecutor believed to bo Uolmos , then advanced towards Iiim , as the prosecutor thought , intending to strike him ; and being armed with a revolver pistol for his protection , in consequence of these repeated attacks , lie pulled it out of his pocket , a ? id fired one of the barrels at the man he took to be Holmes . The men then all ran away , the prosecutor firing three or four barrels after them as they ran , and shouting out " Murder" at the same time . . The prosecutor then returned home , having received a severe contusion at the right side of his head . Information was immediately given to the

      police , and Wilkinson and Holmes were appro hended . Ackroyd was subsequently taken to the House of Correction at Wakefield for another offence , and while there the prosecutor was sent for , and pointed him out as tho third man who had attacked him from about a dozen other men . Holmes wns now admitted as approver by tho Crown , and from his evidence it appeared that a day or two before the prosecutor was attacked a man named Warnhouse , a member of tho Trades ' Union , asked him if he could get another man to go with one of the turn-outs and attack the prosecutor , and stated that money was no objeot ,- and thai he gob the prisoner Ackroyd to assent to go with him ; that Ackroyd , Warnhouse , and himself then went to a public-house kept by a man named

      Bobby Russell , where they met a man named R . Bailey , who paid him and Aakroyd 10 s . each to attack the prosecutor , und that the Saturday before tho attack was made they received an additional os . each for the same object , and that they were told to meet the prisoner Wilkinson at Chapclcomer ad Itichtnonrf-tiill on the morning of the 17 th of November . They accordingly went there and met Wilkinson waiting . They then went towards the prosecutor ' s Iiousg , and he came out in about ten minules . Witness then attacked the prosecutor , and was shot at and wounded by him in the tliigb , and was afterwards taken over to Doncnster by Warnhouse to get his wound dressed there . To avoid suspicion mi his return to Leeds , Bailey gave him two sovereigns , and told

      him to say , if necessary , that he was going to call on tho prosecutor on the morning in question to ask for work , when he met the prosecutor , end his oppressive and haughty bearing to him so annoyed him , that ho lifted his stink and struck him , and that the prosecutor then fired at him . This witness wns severely cros-examined , and . appeared not to bear tho bost of characters , and some discrepancies were elicited in his evidence . —Mr . Sergeant Wilkins ; for the . defence , contended that the prosecutor was mistaken in the prisoner Wilkinson ' s identity , and the evidence of the approver Holmes , from his character , could not be relied on . —His

      lordship having summed up , the jury found both prisoners Guiity . His lordship , in passing sentence , sr . id it could not be endured that pe .-iceablo persons should be prevented from going to their work , and bo put in peril of their Iive 3 , by a commbination of turn-out workmen . Had the prosecutor died from the severe injury which he h : xd received the prisoners would have been guilty of murder . Such conduct was setting at defiance the law of England , and waa setting up a moat oppressive tyranny . The sentence of tlie court w ; is that they should each lie imprisoned one year , — The prisoner Wilkinson fainted on hearing tho sentence , and was carried out of the dock .

'zette , " the following details relative to tho shipwrecked English who have fallon iuto the hands'of Moorish pirates . They are extracted from a letter dated Melilla , November 10 : — " The English crew are still in the power of the people of Riff ; one sailor is dead ; whether naturally or not , is unknown . There are five remaining ; it was believed that they would speedily be delivered , as a merchant vessel freighted by the English Consul at Malaga had come to convey them to Gibraltar , buc tho natives have raised their claim , and now demand 200 doures ( £ 40 ) per head . Tiieso poor sailors , since the beginning of their captivity , have

      slept on the baro ground , which is a great hardship in the present season , and after being deprived ol their clothes . Their only food is a coarse kind oi couscouasou , very different fare from that to which English sailors are accustomed , and which is of no service in enabling them to support the inclemency of the weather . " T ; ie same journal gives the following extract from a letter , dated from the same place , November 19 : — "A roost afflicting scene has just been enacted here , which is not , however without a preddcent in a country where the sanitary laws are applied in all their rigour . The sentinels posted on the ramparts of Melilla , in tho direction of the Campo Ifovo , caught sight of an individual running towards the walls , and who , in spite of a

      native costume , appeared to be a Christian . On coming within car-shot , he halted at the injunction of the men on duty , and declared that ho was from Alicante ; that , having come into Algeria in one of those emigrations caused by the state of dearth in his own country , he had found occupation at Oran , but , that on penetrating further into the interior of the province in the hope of obtaining hi gher wages , he had been captured by tho Arabs , to whom ho ' had remained a prisoner for two years , and that , having found means to make his escape , he had come to seek a refuge in Melilla . Judge of the

      anguish of this unfortunate man when he was informed that the quarantine laws would not allow them to admit him , and that he must return whence he came . At night the natives prow . ' ed about ihe walls of the town , and they would infallibly recapture and kill him . At this hard sentence the wretched fugitive burst into tears and lamentations , and urged , but all in vain , the cruel tortures that awaited him if he was refused admittance into Meliila . All that was consented to he doiie for him was to throw him the complete dress of aeonfict , with the adriee that he should pass under ttiie disguise ae » pr uoaer escaped from Aleiiila "

      , counter . It appeared from tbe evidence that on the day mentioned in the indictment the prisoner served a customer with goods to tho amount of £ 1 13 s . ; but , instead of entering that sum in the book , and accounting for it at the end of ihe day , he entered 13 a . only , and purloined the difference . When accused of this , the prisoner said , " Well , it certainly looks black against me ; but mind , I don't acknowledge it . " The customer proved having paid the prisoner the full sum . —The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . —The prisoner was again indicted for having Btolen fifteen dozen of

      Wory knifu-handlea , one dozen table knives and forks , and a quantity of other articles , value £ 22 , the property of his employers .

There was a second indictment against , the prisoner . —It appeared that the prisoner was a servant employed by tho housekeeper of Mr . Marryatt , Of Riohmond-terraco , Whitehall . About the middle of October that gentleman left town for Wales , and on unpacking his luggage missed a gold watch from a bug in which he had placed it ; he communicated his loss to his housekeeper , who made strict inquiries as to what had become

      of it . The prisoner repeatedly denied all knowledge of the watch , but on its being found that her box had contained a number of articles which had been pilfered from another servant , she waa accused of having stolen it , and eventually went with the housekeeper to a place where she produced a duplicate of a watch , pledged at a pawnbroker ^ in Strufcton-ground , Westminster , which proved to be the one lost by Mr . Marryat . — -The prisoner was convicted . —The second indictment charged her with stealing the articles found in her box . —The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment for eight months with hard labour .

While the latter attracted her attention by making remarks upon the qualities of the flowers with which the bonnets were trimmed , the other picked her pocket of her purse , but they wore da . tected by a woman who had been induced to watch the prisoners from the fact of their having made a somewhat Bimilar attempt upon herself . —The jury found the prisoners Guilty . —The officers proved that both the prisoners bad been before convicted . —Tlie learned judge sentenced them to bo transported for ton years . The Touters about the Chiminal Courts . —The

      learned judge , in the course of the morning , stopped Mr . Ribton , as he was addressing the jury , and , in reference to a topic touched upon by that gentleman aaid , he wished it to be distinctly understood that there was no necessity whatever for the intervention of . the third party between counsel and prisoners . Every barrister , not only in the criminal OOUrtB of the metropolis , but on the circuits , who was not otherwise engaged , was bound to take up a case if called upon by the prisoner in the dock , and also to receive tho fee from him . There was not the slightest necessity for the interference of any attorney , or of any peraon who went about in the character of an attorney's clerk , and considering what had reoently occurred in that court , be

      wished it to be distinctly understood that counsel could be instructed by prisoners themselves ; and if this were generally known , the relatives and friends of unfortunate prisoners would avoid being plundered and robbed by the scoundrels called " touters , " who prowled about the courts , and got their money from them under the pretence of affording them legal assistance . Tub Touxbrs again , —James Nichollsi aged 46 , Johanna- Lintott , aged 30 , and Jane Walsh , aged 21 , were indicted , charged with having unlawfully and maliciously wounded Fivtnccs Barrett Nichollf ) . tho wifu of tbe first-named prisoner . Mr . Payne said that the case had been before the magistrate at the police court in Marylebone-street , they

      ( one being the master of the male prisoner ) had gi ven a person who had represented himself as an attorney the sum of £ 5 to conduct the man ' s defence and to provide the assistance of counsel . Now , it so happened that not only had no counsel been retained , - but the attorney , if he was an attorney , himself was not in attendance , Under tiieso circiiHis £ anoc 8 the foreigners were very anxious to know if the trial could not bo postponed . Tho application was refused , and tho prisoner Lintott pleaded guilty . It appeared that the male prisoner and his wife had been married somewhere about thirteen years since , but that having separated seven weeks after the marriage they had rarely come together again . Not long since they , howorer , lived as man and wife for five weeks , at

      the expiration of which time they once more separated . Upon the occasion of tho assault now complained of the wife went to the place where her husband was living with the prisoner Lintott , to aak him why he had not sent her the money ho hail promised her , when Lintott commenced an attack upon her . In the course of tbo fracas the wife had her head cut by blows administered by Lintott and Walsh , and her husband struck her violently on the chest . The blows were of such a character as that she had necessarily been the inmate of a hosp ital for a fortnight . —Vordiet Guilty . The learned judge sentenced Lintott to imprisonment and hard labour , Kicholls to imprisonment for six weeks with hard labour , and Walsh to imprisonment for one month , also with hard labour .

      An Artful Young Thief . —Ann Wilson , 14 , was indicted for stealing a petticoat and other articles of clothing , the property « f Geoi-go Thompson , from the porson of Georgo Thompson the younger . —This prisoner , though but fourteen years of iige , had , ib appeared , carried on a system of decoying children younger than herself , whom she met in the streets , into out of the way places , and there stripping them of their clothes . She had been befor * couvicted , and n porson who was in court identified the clothes she had on as having boon stolen from a girl about her own age . The proseculrix of the second indictment against the prisoner was a poor widow named Beavdinore , living at 10 , Earl-street , Westminster , and it seemed on the day named in the indictment her daughter , a child six years of age , was decoyed by the prisoner from the door of a school she attended into St . John ' s Cliurcl . , who sat her on some steps , and then deliberately took

      off the greater part of her clothing , and went off , telling- tho child that sho was only going to see it she could purchase some more like it . The prisoner disappeared down a court , and the child ran after her , but slid had got aw&y effectually , and the poor child , crying with cold , was taken pity on by a blacksmith , who told her to warm herself by his forge . Tho mother gave information to several secondhand clothes' shops in the iieinhlioui'hood , and within a very short time tho prisoner was in the hands of" the police , having been given into custody by a clothes dealer U ^ whom sho hud offered the stolen articles . —The prisoner was Convicted . Tlie other case was of the same kind . The boy was ssven years of age , and tho prisoner enticed him from Pyo . street , Westminster , to "Whitehall-yard , where she helped herself to his clothing , and then mado oft ' . —The learned Judge said , tho Court could not suffer her to remain longer in this country , and sentenced her to seven years' transportation .

      BOW-STREET . — Chargr q ? Stabbing , — G . Henry Davidson , a printer , was brought before Mr . Hall , charged with committing a violent assault ; upon James Quilly , by stabbing him with a stiletto , from the effects of which his life is in danger . —Richard Brand said : 1 am a law stationer , residing at Islington , and waa in company with a few friends about two o'clock on Sunday morning , at Shipyard , remple-bar , when I heard Mr . Quilly say that he had 'been stabbed by the prisoner , previous to whicb he said that Quilly had scratched his nose , and that he wanted to get at the with the bushy whiskers . I to'd him he had no just cause to quarrel widi him , advising him to desist . Tbe circumstance took place in a narrow part of the court , where a blow wag struck , and having got into a wider part the quarrel continued , and in an instant , hearing Quilly call out , " rm 8 tabbed ! " I ran to his assistance , and with another of the company succeeded in parting i . liero . There were five persons in our party , one of whom gave the prisoner a severe thrashing ; but I did not hear him call out for help . There was no other person except Quilly struck him . Perhaps Quilly was not perfectly sober , nor was the prisoner very drunk . Our pirty had been drinking about an hour , and I was perfectly sober . I heard no person call out for help or the police , and blood flowed copiously from the prisoner ' s face in consequer . ee of the blows he had received . —William Clifford , said : I was in conversation with Quilly , after which blows were exchanged in the court . I had not been in the house , but had met them by chance , and when Quilly struck the prisoner in the face , he did not return the blow , and presently Quilly said , " I am

      stabbed s the vagabond has got a knife . " They were then separated , and a policeman being called hs . turned his light on to the pavement , where he picked up the weapon produced . —The instrument exhibited to the Couvt was a Brazilian stiletto , the blade about live inches in length and very sharp , having a curve as they are usually manufactured , and set in a fluted iirory handle , the sheath being made of red morocco leather , and mounted in silver—Constable Wright , 90 F , proved that seeing a crowd he hastened to Shipyard , and saw the prisoner bleeding very much ficsn the mouth , and the other , whose band was cut , sail ! — " This Man ( pointing to the prisoner ) has stabbed me with a knife , and he has thrown it away ; " upon which he turned his light to the pavement , and saw

      the weapon picked up by the last witness . On the way to the station , seeing something drop from the prisoner , he picked it up , and found it to be the stopper or ferule of the sheath , both of which being shown to him , he said he knew nothing about them . —Mr . Edward Davis , house-surgeon of King ' s College Hospital , said that Quiily had received three distinct wounds , such as would be inflicted with the sharp-pointed weapon he had examined ; one between the sixth and seventh ribs , another between the third and fouth ribs , and another below the collarbone , all on the left side , and of such a dangerous character that he could not give a decisive opinion respecting the condition of the patient for some days . —Remanded .

Thomas Tuffnell of a purse and money . —The complainant , who is advanced in life , stated that on the evening of tho 24 th ulfc ., being in Counter-street , at tho rear of the Town Hall , and leading to the Borough Market , he was accosted by a woman , who said , " I know you , sir ; don't pass without speaking . " In reply to this solicitation he stepped up to the woman , and looking in her face remarked that she was mistaken , as he was not acquainted with her ; and had scarcely uttered the words when two men darted out from underneath a gateway , and seizing him one at each side , pinioned his arms , am ) held him while the female thrust one of her hands

      into his right hand trowsers pocket . Sho pulled out a purse containing 10 s . or 12 s ., and then ran down one of the turnings in the neighbourhood , and he struggled to disengage himself from the two men , who held him until the robbery was effected , when one of them exclaimed to his companion , " Cut Bill ; cut away ; " and the man who was on his right side ran towards the Borough Market . Complainant ' s right arm . being now at liberty , and having a thick walking-stick in his right hand , he made a blow with it at the head of his assailant , who stooped down and saved himself , and then ran away and escaped . He added that ho had not seen the woman until the wevious night , when as he

      was walking along near the Town Hall he observed her with an old gentleman , she apparently endeavouring to induce him to accompany her towards that part of Counter-street where he ( complainant ] had been robbed , but the old gentleman seemed averse to proceed with her , and went away . And on his leaving her ho ( complainant ) immediately went up to her , accused her of having robbed him of his purse , and gave her into custody . He was convinced the prisoner was the woman , as he particularly noticed her features on tho night of the robbery as she stood in front of him while the two men , her associates , hold him until she effected her obieot . —Remanded .

Wo learn that a nsw and splen , did packet-ship , the Caroline , has been , chartered by Mr . f Eiddlet , tbe American commissioner , for the purpose of bringing over the articles designated for the New World Fair , and the ship has already been lulen-with the goods . They will be brought over in the charge of Mr . H . Pomeroy Brewster , of this city , aa super-cargo , Mr . Brewater has beon oon .

      tacted with the Exhibition in London sines Us opening , and has gained from his superiors , and all with whom he came officially in contact , the ut « moat confidence and respect .

To his liberality and enterprise , ib is said , the American contributors were much indebted during the existence of the World ' s Fair .

      FOREIGN . FRANCE . —Paris , Friday . —In consequence of the great number of electors who throng to the mairies to get cxrds , is has been decided that today and to-morrow cards will be distributed from ei « ht o ' clock in the morning till midnight , and on Sunday from eight till four in the afternoon ; also , that the ballot will bo prolonged on Saturday and Sunday from eight in the morning till six p . m . Tiie Bishop of Chalons writes to tho journal of Ghnlon-sur-Marne a letter of adhesion to tho declaration of the Bishop of Chartrcs . The reason he gives is that" God is with the Presiden ' . " The Bishop of Lc mans recommends his clergy to give their active support to the prolongation of the Dowers of Prince Louis Napoleon Danaparte .

      One hundred and fifty-four more prisoners from the Bisses-AIpes were brought to Marseilles on the lGtii inst . They are to he sent to the Chateau < l'If . General Rulliere has written a letter protesting against the insertion of his no ma in the first list of the consultative commission . Three-quarters of the 4 O . h regiment of the line have voted against Louis Napoleon . In consequence , there is talk of disbanding of this regiment . Tise journals of Switzerland are excluded . The " Echo du Alont Blanc , " of Savoy , is also interdicted . Tbe "Presse" appeared without any leading article yesterday . 3 IM . Pellefan and Peyrat , two well-known writers in Ihat journal , announce that their connexion with it has ceased .

      The " Patre gives the following additional votes of the army on the question of the prolongation of the powers of Liuis Napoleon : — Garrison of Bayonne , Behobie , and Sosos : Yes , 1 , 767 ; No , 297 . —Artillery of Montauban : Yes , 330 ; No , 47 . A number of political arrests were effected yesterday . About four in the afternoon , four large vehicles conducted forty prisoners from the Prefecture of Police to the fort of Bicetre .

      The following is a list of the representatives who have been transferred to St . PeUgie : —MM . Pascal Duprafc , Antony Thouret , Laydet ( le een 6 ral ) , Bixio , Duvergier de Ilauranne , Durrieu ( Poulin ) , Joret , Renaud , Besse , Belen , Cholat , Emilie P 6 « n , Latrade , Miofc , Marc Dufraisse , Richsrdet , Burgard , Charles La ? range , Gambou , Talentin , Colfavru , Laboulayo , ~ R- * couchot , Dslbetz , Chaix , Agrioole Perdiguier , Xadaud , Faure , Greppo , Benoit , Madet , Charles Iluguenin , Toillard-Literisse .

      It is forbidden to celebrate midnight mass this year in the churches of Faris ou Christtnas-eve . It appears from government accounts that per * sons canvassing for votes of "So" in the provinces are being arrested . The crime that they arc charged with is that of " exciting peaceable per 30 tlS not to vote , for order on the 2 {) tU and 21 st inst . " General Cavaignac refused to nriko any conditions for the recovery of his freedom . M . Odier , tho uncle of the general's bride , would only accept the post assigned to him in the consultative commission on condition of Cavaignac being liberated . As soon as General Oudinot was set at liberty .

      he wrote to the President an emphatio protest against the slur thrown upon his military reputation by the language used in the decree creating General "Vaillant marshal of France . Much surprise has been caused by the official returns of the votes of the navy , which represent the President as having gained 8 , 000 votes out of 10 , 000 . ^ No one can comprehend this result , as Louis Napoleon is known to be Ie 3 s popular with the navy than with the army . Besides , it is known that in some ships of tho squadron the President hardly obtained a single vote . : Thus , on board the ^ r ^ f ngacre , r of 800 ' am Md that onlveight voted in favour of Louis Napoleon . ¦
