      France.. Paris, Thursday Evening. M Taro...

      FRANCE .. Paris , Thursday Evening . M Taro-e an actor known in Lis profession by the name of Thierry , has hist been tried by court-martial upon the charge of haying taken Dart in the insurrection of June , 1848 . The court-martial found him Lilty and sentenced him to three years * imprisonment . This is an ominous warning to the inhabitants of Paris . Any man who may be suspected of voting " no" at the coming plebiscite , or who may be marked for not subscribing to the triumphal arches , or who may be otherwise obnoxious to the government , may expect to be the subject of an inquiry whether evidence cannot be raked up to prove that he was insurgent of 1848 . #

      At Rouen two young men of respectable appearance were tried for the offehce of speaking in an insulting manner of the President of the Republic They were sentenced , one to two years and the other to eighteen months' imprisonment . On leaving the court they cried " Vive la Republique democratique . " For this , which , by the way , is yet a legal cry , theraesident of the court called them back , and added two years of furth ^ BKsomnent to their sentences .

      J ^ T ITALY . Rome , Nov . 4 : —After the . late awful butchery at Ancona , a second scene ofthe ' same kind was to have taken place , but the artillerymen , disgusted at the part they had been forced to play in it , protested to a man against undertaking the office of executioners again ; so that Monsignor Amici has been obliged to write to Rome and wait for instructsons , before another set of culprits can be sent to their last account . Vincenzo Rocchi , alias the Moor , after receiving his share of bullets , spun round three times , staggering to a distance , but soon recovered his balance , and marched back resolutely to his former station , where he has finally despatched . Biagini refused to be bandaged and requested to be allowed to give the signal to fire . Others called out "Evviva i fratelli Bandiera . '" " Eoviva la Patriar § c .

      THE OVERLAID MAIL . "We have received the following despatch by the Electric Telegraph , in anticipation of the Overland Mail : — " Trieste , Thursday Evening . " TheAustrian Lloyd ' s steamer Adria arrived this afternoon , with advices from Rangoon to the 26 th of September . The first brigade of the advanced force had just left Rangoon for Prome . It consisted of

      her Majesty ' s 18 th Royal Irish , her Majesty ' s 80 th Regiment , and the 35 th Madras Infantry , with eight guns , and adetatchment of Sappers and Miners . It was accompanied by General Godwin , the Admiral , and almost all the heads of departments . The second brigade was to follow shortly , and it was expected on its arrival at Prome that Pegu would be ceded and annexed , and the war closed . There is no other news of importance . .

Lord Lyndhurst called the attention of their lordships to the returns in lunacy , which had been moved for by him last session , and asked the Lord Chancellor if it was his intention to introduce any measures this session for the reduction of the expenses and proceedings in lunacy ; also whether it was intended to carry out the recommendation of the common law commission ?

      The Lord Chaxcblor stated that the various legal measures proposed to be brought forward by the government were in a state of preparation , and would be brought forward as soon as possible ; but he was not certain as to the present session . He would explain the nature of those measures on Tuesday .

      THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON S FUNERAL . The Duke of Montrose announced her Majesty ' s answer fo the address voted on the previous evening . It expressed her Majesty ' s acknowledgment in brief terms . His lordship also presented a special message from her Majesty , announcing that directions had been g iven for the interment of the remains of the late Duke ' of "Vveilmgton in St .

Granted .

      BETHLEHAM HOSPITAL . In answer to Captain Fitzroy , "who asked a question relative to certain alleged cruelties upon patients in Bethleham Hospital , Mr . S . H . "Walpole stated that all the papers relating to that painful subject Tvould be speedily laid on the table . In answer to a second question from the hon . Member , Mr .

Pakington said that with regard to the probable termination of the war at the Cape , he had had no positive information for amonth ; but the last that had been received was of an encouraging land .

The Address . —The report on the Queen ' s message was , after some discussion , agreed to , and the House adjourned .

      Great Fire At Romford.—On Thursday Morni...

      Great Fire at Romford . —On Thursday morning a fire broke out at Romford , which , before its extinction , effected the destruction of a very considerable amount of property . It originated about four o ' clock , from some unknown cause , in the Lamb Inn , Market Place , and was scarcely ' extinguished before nig ht . It was then found that the inn , ' with its contents and the stabling , the houses and stocks of Mr . Robinson , bookseller , Mr . E . T . Staines , draper , and Mr . T . Higg , corn dealer , were consumed , and another house in the Market-place was considerably damaged .

      Extraordinary High Tide . — -Yesterday , one of the highest tides that has taken place for many years above-bridge . occurred at halfpast one o ' clock , overflowing the whole of the numerous and extensive wharves along the banks of the Thames , from Southwark-bridge to Pimlico , the increase of the tide being mainly assisted by the immense quantity of rain that had fallen , and the strong E . S . E . wind prevalent . From the Adelphi to Westminster , every wharf , street , area , and cellar was overflowing , the water gradually rising at two o ' clock , the tide having half-an-hour to flow at that time . At Hungerford Wharf every moveable article was floating about ' ; in many instances , carts and other vehicles were with difficulty secured .

      Flood in Herefordshire , and Loss of Lives . —Hereford , Friday . —This city and county are at the present time literally devastated by a tremenduous flood , or series of floods , springing from various sources , such as have not been known for years , nay , perhaps for centuries . Since the commencement of the present month the rain in this part of the country has been almost incessant , and within the last few days reports have reached this city of the rapid rise and destructive results of the various rivers and streams . The Wye , Lugg , and Frome rivers have all overflowed their banks ,

      carrying desolation into farm buildings and homesteads , cottages , & c . The London mail was before daybreak this morning engulphed in the wreck of a fallen bridge , and , in addition to the loss of three of the horses , and serious injuries to the coachman , guard , and passengers , one human life has been sacrificed . The town crier has just gone round the city ( one o ' clock ) with the information that the gas works are flooded , and that to-night the town must remain in darkness . Such is our dismal prospect . The rain was terrific on the Welsh hills yesterday , and we have not had a dry minute scarcely to-day , so that in all probability the February flood in the Wye will be surpassed .

      . Horrible . Death . —A Man Cut in Two . —Gloucester , Thursday . —A dreadful occurrence has happened at one of the steam saw mills in this city , which has led to an inquiry to-day before Mr . Lovegrove , the district coroner , into the cause of death of Francis Ayres , a sawyer . Tt appeared from the statements of the witnesses that the deceased was employed on Wednesday at Mr . Eassie ' s saw mill , when he met with his death in the following shocking manner : —The mills in question which are situate on the . bank of the Gloucester and Berkeley Ship Canal , are erected for the conversion of . Baltic timber ( which is shipped in large quantities into the port of Gloucester ) into railways , and very powerpool steam machinery is erected for this

      purpose to set in motion numerous circular saws . The timber cut by these saws is placed upon a species of railway moved generally hy machinery against the caws , which are fixed in the floor , and revolve with immense rapidity and power , cutting through a balk of timber at the rate of 12 feet per minute . The unfortunate deceased was employed in feeding the mills , and was carrying a balk of timber , when he stumbled and fell upon one of the revolving saws ,, which in a moment tore through his chest , pierced his vitals , and cut him to the back bone , almost dividing him in two . It appeared that on Wednesday the timber had been allowed to accumulate in the mill after it had

      been cut , and it is thought that this led to the accident . The coroner and jury viewed the premises , and having returned a verdict of " Accidental death , " recommended that no accumulation of timber be permitted in the mill , which recommendation the proprietor said , should . receive every attention . Meeting op Convocation . —The two houses of convocation met yesterday morning in the Jerusalem Chamber . After settling various formalities the upper house adjourned to the library of the Dean of Westminster , while the lower house sat in the Ancient Chamber . Marylebone Free Library . —A committee meeting took place at the house of the chairman , B . Oliveira ^ Esq ., M . P ,, at No . 8 , Upper Hyde-street , which was numerously attended , on the 8 th instant .

      Serious Charge against a Mate and Boatswain . —A very serious case was . brought before the Liverpool magistrates on Wednesday , at the Police Court , in which Thomas Greenland , the mate , and James Smith , the boatswain of the Lady Franklin ship , have had to appear to answer a charge of murder . It appears that when the Lady Franklin was 10 days out from New York , on her voyage to Liverpool , a young French Sailor , named St . Clair , was so severely beaten by command of Greenland , while up in the crosstrees of the vessel , that he fell down on the deck and died instantly .

      Present from the French Government to the House of Commons . —Some cases of books have arrived by a steamer from France , as a present from the French government to the library of the House of Commons . Liability of American Telegraphs por Errors and Delays . —The legislature of Maine has passed an act making telegraph companies liable for errors in despatches , either in transmission or transcript , to ttie amount paid for transmission to the place of destination in or out of the States . In case of unreasonable delay either to transmit or to deliver , affecting the value of the despatch , the amount paid is to be refunded . ' The penalty for falsifying a despatch is to be from 20 to 100 dollars , and operator , agents , clerks , and officers are to be held liable for any fraud committed or attempted , by means of anv telegraph .
