Boweries at oace charged into the midst of the Dead Babbits , who received them with pistols , muskets , rifles , and revotvere ; and one of the combatants even brought tip a howitzer , but it wa » captured before it could be got into action . Barricades were formed across the streets ; negro-and Irish women on the roofs hurled bricks and chimney-pots on the heads of the combatants ; and a great many persons were killed and wounded . The police interposed , and were driven back . Three regiments ' were then ealled out , armed with the Minie rifle , and having , twelve rounds to a man .

tantly , related to him .. One of the Emperor ' s carriages and nine mourning coaches iminediately followed the hearse . The Emperor ' s , household was represented by ¦ General de Cotte ,. one . of his Majesty ' s aides-de-camp ? the Minister of State and of the Household by M . Gauthier , Secretary-General of the Department ^ the Municipality of Paris by M . Werruan , Secretary-General of the Prefecture of the Seine ; M . de Saulxure , Secretary-General of the Prefecture of Police , and the Mayor of the 6 th arrondissement , to wlueh the Rue Vendoine belongs . The Institute was represented by M . M . Thiers , Mignet , Villemain , Cousin , De Vigny T St . Marc Girardin , and other eelebrities of the literary world . Besides these , a considerable number of Deputies , Senators , Councillors of State , and men of letters attended the © eremony . The Parisian press had also its representatives on the occasion . — M . Ponou , from the Moniteur ; M . Rene / Deputy ) , from the Coiistitutionnel and . the Pays ; M . Netfzer , from the Presse ; MM . Havin and Jourdain , from the Sieclo ; and the Journal des Debuts , the Patrie , JBstafette , and other journals , sent their editors and managers . The mounted Guards of Paris , with their colonel at their head , opened the procession , and rode on both sides of the hearse . The Lufantry of the same force closed it with , their arms re versed , and three regiments of infantry were drawn up in line , and extended from the Rue Vendome to the Church of St . Elizabeth . The crowds of people to see the procession were immense , and as the remains of him with whose songs they were familiar from childhood , and whose strong nationality they loved , passed along , tbe cries of . * Vive Be'raaiger P or ' Honneur it Beranger / ' were loud and frequent , and every head was uncovered . The windows and balconies , and in some instances the roofs of the houses , were alive , with people . " The hearse reached , the church at a quarter past twelve . The exterior of the building was covered with black cloth , which displayed shields inscribed with the initial * of the poet . The interior wore also the same sable hangings from the floor to the friezes . A border of white stars ran round the nave . Shields , with the initials ,, and large crowns formed of immortelles , were alternately placed on the drapery . At the extremity of the nave , close by the higii altar , rose a magnificent catafalque , displaying tears -wrought in silver , and encircled by lamps and . lighted tapers . " The religious ceremony being concluded , the procession wound its way to the cemetery , the same vast crowds again lining the roads . As the body issued from the church , the cavalry checked the advance of tlie people ; but this appears to have been the only approach to disorder during the day . A dense body of persons waited on the outside of the ground , and testified their respect to the national chansoimier in . the most orderly manner . The remains were deposited in a vault , over which a monument will be erected at the Emperor ' s expense . The obsequies having been brought to a termination , the mourners , the soldiery , and the multitude , quietly dispersed . During the ceremony , two squadrons of the mounted Guards of Paris patrolled up and down the Boulevards from the Porte St . Denis to the coiner of the Rue Vendome ,. to keep the -way clear from stoppage . They were assisted bv several squadrons of Sargens de Ville . Large bodies of soldiers wore also kept in reserve , at various points . Eight divisions , each commanded by a General , were under arina ; and Marshal Magnau was at the head of the wholo force . The Minister at War got up twice during the previous night , to communicate with Marshal Magnan at his head-quarters . I he National Guard , was warned to be in readiness to turn out- and the various guards were not relieved for fortyeiffht hours , in . ordor that small bodies of troops , as they wout about the streets , might be protected , kvery arrangement , in short , was made for crushing an outbreak , had it occurred j but there ia uo doubt that tbo Government waa greatly alarmed . The telegraph waa kept constantly at work between . Puna and Plomlueres , and the Emperor seems to have shaved the general nervousness . Tho following is the placard of the Frtffect of Police : — " Franco has just lost her national poet ! Tho Government of tho Emperor has doterminod that public honours shall bo paid to tho memory of Berangor , Una pious homage was due to tho poot whoso songs , consecrated to tho worship of tho country , have aided in perpetuating in tho hearts of the pooplo tho reminiscence ot tho Imperial glories . I loam that party men only see in this sad solemnity an occasion for renewing tho disorders which at othor times have signalised similar ceremonies . Tho Government will not allow a tumultuous manifestation to bo substituted for tho rospoetful and patriotic sorrow which ought to prevail at the funeral of Udrongor . On tho other hand , tho wishes of tho ducoaaod havo boon expressed In these touching words : — As to my funornl , if you can avoid public nolao , do so , I bog of you , my dear Porrotin . I hold in horror the tumult of a cro ^ vd and tho iclat of speeches at the infcormont of friends whom I lose ; and if mine can bo effected without a puWlo gathering , one of my wishes will be accomplished . ' It has therefore boon resolved , in accord with tho testamentary executor , that tho funeral procession shall be exclusively composed of oflioiul persons and those who rocoive letters of invitation . I request the populace to conform , to those arrnngemonta .
Measures arc taken to cause the determination of tlie Government and the desire of the deceased to be rigorously and religiousl y respected . —Pietri , Senator . —Paris , July 16 , 1857 . " A few interesting details with respect to the deceased poet are communicated by the correspondent frotn whom we have already quoted : —" The portrait of Beranger will be placed in the Museum of Versailles , in the gallery -with those of Moliere , Corneille , and Lafo-ntaine , and the street in which he died is to be called the Rue Beranger instead of the line Vendome . The posthumous works of Beranger consist of from forty to fifty songs , which were deposited by him some years ago in the hands of a notary' in Paris . During his residence at Passy , he prepared notes fora sketch of the revolutionary period of Trance , and he began his memoirs . He did not long continue this work , and it is said that lie destroyed with bis own hand all the documents lie had collected for that purpose . A few notes without method , and his correspondence , which is considerable , remain . "
THE WTTKEBAI * OF 13 GRANGER . BebAngeb haa been committed to the grave under circumstances which would havo been very painful to him could he have anticipated them . He waa buried with a decree of haste -which in this country would be considered indecent and which in France is unusual . At fialf-past five o ' clock on the evening of Thursday week , he expired- by twelve o ' clock on the following day , the friends of the < lead poot hud assembled at his house to attend the funeral . This precipitation waa . dictated by the Government , out of a fear lest tho occasion should lead to a democratic outbreak ; but it is against the general terms of tho existing law , which declares that tWenty-four hours shall elapse between the death of any person and the interment of the remains . An exception , however , is made in cases of urgency , warranted by the signatures of two or three physicians . It is said that the authorities received notice that some popular demonstration' would take place during the ceremony ; and it therefore anticipated that dosign—if it really existed by hurrying on tho funeral . Tho Moniteur announced on the Friday morning that tho obaequiea were to bo public , at the expense of tho Imperial treasury , and honoured by every national observance which could l ) o shown on the occasion . By tho express wish of the dead , poet , and in conformity with tho arrangements made by the municipal administration , the official deputations , and those to whom letters of invitation wore sent , were alone permitted to be present at the religious ceremony in the Church of St . EHzabotli-du-Tomple , or to form part cf the procession to P & re-la-Chniso . I he route / however , was densely thronged , and tho street where Be > ang « sr died waa quite blockaded . »• At twelve , o ' clook precisely , " saya the Tones Paris correspondent , " all the persons specially invited assembled at the house of the poot In tlie liuo VondOnae , and the aortim set . out boon afterwards for tho church .

CONTINE NTAL NOTES . I'RAXCE . Tun harvest in all parts of France promises to "be unusuallv abundant . In the meanwhile , trade languishes , and the operatives ( as they commonly do at this time of the vear ) are deserting their in-door occupations for field work . _ There is scarcely any political news . The intense heat of the weather seems to have caused a general debilitv , and Paris does little else than pant and sigh for the shade of trees and the running of cool waters . With respect to the climate , M . Babinet , of the Institute , expresses his opinion , based on several scientific observations , that ' the regular seasons may be considered as re-established in France for several years to come ; ' that is to say , that there will probably be a long succession of warm springs and hot summers . The Minister of War has determined that the Zouaves of the tine , as well us those of the Imperial Guard , shall henceforth be armed with rifles ami sabre bayonets . This measure will increase the Light Infantry by eleven battalions of picked troops . The Emperor has decided that there shall be a gallery at the Museum at Versailles dedicated to paintings representing battles in the Crimea . _ Several arrests have been , made in Pans , during , the last few davs , in consequence , it is thought , of tho movements of the democratic bor ty in connexion with the-funeral of Beranger . A report has been circulated of an attempt to assassinate tlie Emperor at Plombieres ; but . it is denied . _ . The Empress gave up her intention of going to the theatre on the night of Thursday week , on account oi B granger ' s death . The ¦ If oniteur of Wednesday contains the following : — " For more than a month the police has had . proot that i plot had been formed in London to inako an attempt on the life of the Emperor . Three Italian * , charged with the execution of this horrible project , were at Pans , and arrested . The arms al . so which wei-6 to have been used for tbe perpetration of the crime have been seized ; they consist of poniards , revolvers , k « . Wrought to iustiee , the prisoners had already confessed their crime and revealed the names , of their accomplices . 1 he Government , notwithstanding , suspended tho proceedings against them , in order that tho ielut of the process might not be refrarded as a means of influencing tho result ot tho elections which were about to tuko place . li >« proceedings are now resumed , and an ordinance of th « Juge rt'Instriiction sends before thoClminber of Accusation nil the prisoners arrested , with their accomplices . 1 hennames are Tlbaldi , Bartolotti , Grilli ( otherwww 8 « ro ) , Mu »» lni , Ledru Rollin , Mazaronti , and CamnuiHilla .
