THE THREE DAY . S OF FEBRUARY . The arrival of the First Anniversary of the French Devolution of 1848 , demands that we should consecrate a portion of this week's Northern Star to a recital of the principal events of the ever-memorable days of February . Postponing " Reviews" of several publications , we give place to the following recollections of the downfall of Louis Thilippe , and the victory of the people : — 22 XD OF HEStAItT . Early in the morning , numerous groups of men of all classes , especially workmen , covered the public places , and moved along the streets following the same direction , the cast of Paris . The thresholds of almost all the doors were crowded with women , or persons who , more sedentarv without appearinff less agitated , seemed to
"wish , bv remaining stationary-, to associate themsdves with the interest of distant events . At ten o ' clock , the students of the schools of law and medicine assembled near the Pantheon . They formed into two files and advanced in this order to the mnnberof 1 ,-500 or l , S 00 , apparently obeying the orders of ayoung num . of twenty , of colossal stature , placed at their ~ head . Arrived at the quay , they jnet a body of about 2 , 000 workmen , descending from the Faubourgs , they joined and mingled in the same ranks , without disturbing the order of their march . Half-past Eleven . —if is the time fixed for the general meeting at la Madeleine . Students and workmen , agitators and spectators , are there in mul titudes . Innumerable masses cover the place , the streets Royalc and Troncbet , the entrance of the Boulevards , and all the abutments . They sing the Marseillaise . Thev shout " Yive la Heforme!—A
Las Guizot '" < tc . jfoox . —At the Champs Elys 6 cs , three barricades were erected by the crowd on the principal causeway ; and they at length besieged the municipal station of the Grand Carre Marigny . The inmates were constrained by a shower of stones to withdraw into the interior of the corps do garde , which was protected by iron gratings recentlv erected round it Throuflhout the afternoon the Champs Elysccs -were the theatre of disorders less serious than turbulent . As soon as the troops appeared to still the tumults thev were greeted with vehement shouts
of " Tive la Hgne , " and were approached witn sympathy , mstcad of bemg shunned . Daif-past Twelve . —The whole cityis become the scene of alarm and agitation . It is reported that serious engagements have taken place at the Faubourg Saiht Marceau ; that ten wounded municipal officers have been conveyed to Val de Grace ; tbatacaptainhas beentilled . Barricades have been erected near the marche St . Honore , and the Rue de Itivoli . Two poor women were killed , or rather assassinated , in the first of these streets . During these tragic scenes , an innumerable crowd of spectators of all classes covered the Boulevards , and the
principal adjacent streets . Six o'clock . —The tumult became more serious in the Champs Elysees ; where they erected a vast pile of garden seats ; it was set on fire , and it appaared at a distance as if the whole city was in iiames . Some children broke the re vcrberes , burned the omnibus benches , &c . without any opposition from the muuicipal officers or the sergeants de Foot and horse patrols paraded all the thoroughfares in the heart of the city . Assemblies were formed near l'Ecole rolytechnique . The Marseillaise and the Chant des Girondins were snug by a J- ^ - at number of students as a signal to come out , as in 1 S 30 , but the most rigid precautions were taken bv the authorities . The students of 1 Ecole i ' ol yteciinique , whose clothes and swords had . been W « n away , and who were vig ilantly guarded , c 0 Uld wi ' -y reply bv the same songs .

the scenes of the Revolution . His constant use of the epithet " mob , " is peculiarly disgusting ; and , indeed , stamps him a " snob ;" hut such snobbishness is the best passport to the columns of Chambers's Journal' . — On the ever-memorable morning of Tuesday , the 22 nd of February , I was proceeding as usual to my employment , when on reaching the Boulevards , I found groups of workmen and others reading the official proclamation prohibiting the meeting . The crowds seemed very much excited , and gave vent to their feelings in loud and angry exclamations . At the guard-house , instead of the one solitary sentinel , the whole front was occupied by the military , all armed , and ready to act at a moment ' s warning of note
Nothing any attracted my attention during the morning beyond vague and contradictory reports of conflicts between the troops and the people . At eleven , I went as usual to breakfast , when I was somewhat startled by observing a large tumultuous assemblage enter rue St . Martin * frem the Boulevards . The foremost , who was an ouvrier en llouse , bore a piece of red cloth on a staff , as a substitute for the terrible drapcau rouge , and for the first time I heard the French vive— " Vive la Reforme . '" The progress of this mob , although unmarked by any species of wanton outrage that I could observe , spread consternation and alarm through all the nei ghbourhood . I was somewhat amused by observing a perfumer who lived nearly opposite removing , with all possible despatch , the royal arms from the front of his shop .
On returning to my work , I found the shop closed , and all the workpeople departed , as now indeed were all the shops in the street . On reaching the Boulevards , I found everywhere immense assemblages of people , and great excitement . The shops were closed the whole length of the Boulevards , from the Porte St . Martin to the Madeleine , and thousands of heads protruded from the windows , all very evidently expecting a something to confirm or ease their apprehension . I proceeded down rue Royal to the Place de Concorde . Here I found a strong military force of horse and foot . I next visited the rue St . Honore . Here things wore a most serious aspect . Some omnibuses and cabriolets had been overturned in several places , the stones had been removed , and an attempt made to form a
barricade . A troop of dragoons were employed to keep the mob from assembling together . They used the flat of their swords , with no very great delicacy of touch , on all who chose to disobey their commands . Much ill-feeling here exhibited itself between the soldiery and the people . The noise of drums now struck my ear : it was the rappel beating for the Garde Xatienale , strongly guarded both in front and rear . A number of younc men and boys followed , singing the "Marseillaise * and "Mourir pour la Patrie . " Here for the present we leave the " English Workman ' s Recollections . "
THE 23 rD OF FEBRUARY . This day belied the famous expression of Petion — " It is going to rain , we have nothing to fear from the people to-day . " Thick clouds covered the sky ; a cold wind accompanied with heavy squalls prevailed . A circumstance less unfavourable to the undisciplined bands of the people , than to the regular ana organised troops of power . The troops suffered greatly from the inclemency of the weather during the ni g ht and morning . The people , on the contrary , refreshed by _ sleep , and sheltered from the weather , proceeded immediately
to the scene of aetion . Sixty workmen suddenly appeared hi the quarter Poissonniere ; preceded by a drum , and conducted by a man with a long beard , waving a small tricoloured flag . They first tried to erect a barricade at the entrance of rue des Pronveries ; but the approach of a detachment of infantry forced them to renounce their design . The troops , with a view to disperse them , followed them to the market , where these soldiers were surrounded by women , who offered them , gratuitously , provisions of every kind , exclaiming , — " ^" en ^ s' spare our husbands , our brothers , our children !"
The first barricade was erected in rue Poissonniere with a carriage and a water-cart . A second barricade was made across rue de Clery , with two hackney coaches , the horses of which were restored to the coachmen . A third barred rue Saint Eustache . A fourth was commenced in rue du Petit-Carreau , a little below rue Thevenot . These operations were executed , without any interruption , before a crowd of spectators . They occupied more than three quarters of an hour . Towards half-past eight , a detachment of
Municipal Guards on foot forced a way through rue de Clery , and drove out the workmen , who took refuge near rue Poissonniere . Xot a mm had been levelled against the soldiers , but they fired upon the people . Three persons , two of whom were women , fell victims to the basest assassination . At the same time other attempts were made at different points in the quarter . In rue Bourbon-Villeneuve a barricade was formed with carriages . The streets contiguous to rue Montorgueil were barricaded with hackney coaches , carts and vans .
Upon place du Caire , some Municipal Guards , pursued by young people , armed only with sticks , suddenly fired . A woman , struck on the head with a bullet , was killed on the spot ; other passengers were wounded . Uixe o ' clock . —The National Guards were called in all the streets . From this moment it was understood that a solemn manifestation of that body would next take place . The 2 nd legion patrolled rue de la Paix , shouting " Vive la Reforme ! " in which they were joined by the surrounding crowd . A detachment of cuirassiers arrived . The captain ordered them to disperse the crowd which followed the National Guards . The commanding officer seemed to hesitate a
moment ; at length he refused . Immediately the National Guards and citizens joined the cuirassiers , and shook hands with them . In the mean time , the heroism of the people was everywhere manifested . A barricade had been formed in rue Saint-Martin . A company of soldiers attempted to take it by assault . A youth of fifteen jumped over it , and wrapping a flag round him , threw himself on his knees , and said , with a firm voice , — " This is vour standard ; fire , if you have courage ! " The example of this intrepid boy was immediately followed by the citizens ; they leaped over the barricade with one accord , —placed
themselves before the guns , exclaiming , " Fire , if you dare , upon unarmed citizens . " The soldiers refused to fire ; and cries of "Vive laLigne ! " resounded on all sides . In the quarter Saint Denis , the agitation had been increasing since the morning . The shops were closed . The workmen were at the doors , the inhabitants at the windows . They saw the body of a voting workman , -who had been killed by the Municipal Guard , half an hour before , carried past on a board . A bloody mark upon his breast indicated the place where he had been struck . He was one of the victims of the barricade at Petit Carreau . Twenty men accompanied this sad procession .
Two * barricades were erected between the gate Saint Denis and rue Mesley . The firing soon commenced in this quarter ; hut the barricades were more numerous and better defended towards rue Aumairc , rue Transnonain , rue Phalippaux , rue Benbourg . There were several also in other streets bordering upon rue Saint Martin , rue du Temple , and rue Saint Avoic , j foojf . —A detachment of the line , commanded by a general , received orders to attack a barricade which was erected at the corner of rue Saint
Francis . At the moment the general ordered them to fire , an officer vainly attempted to lower the barrels of the guns with his sword . They fired , and killed several victims . The troop retired into rue de l'Oiseille ; when a hundred National Guards , accompanied bv a crowd of people , entered rue de Poitou , exclaiming , " Vive la Reforme ! " The troop , expecting an attack , fired in that direction , and -wounded three of the National Guards ; one mortally . This catastrophe terminated the struggle in that * quartcr .
"We return to the English Worhnatfs Recollections : — ¦ My curiosity being somewhat excited by the occurrences of the morning , I struck work , and descended into the street , which I found now completed deserted , . except by the military ; strong detachments of which held it at both ends . Ihey allowed me to pass through them into Rue Royal , where I found the mob had constructed a barncade which the soldiers were now busily employed in destroying . A vast crowd occupied this street , and all the streets adjoining . Many of them were armed with such weapons as most readily came to hand-as thick bludgeons , pitchforks , hatchets , and sledge-hammers . Bars of iron wrenched from railings were ge neral ; but I observed several with m few p ^ faSher on I saw a crowd surround-In ^ sWol . j ** on the pound ,, and singing . he eternal " Mourir pour la Patrie . " On looking through the throng , a melancholy spectacle pre-23 itself-lextelded on its back lay the corpse of avounff man covered with wu d and gore .
• . On attempting to return up the Ruej& aJ «* J I was repulsed by point of bayonet , so I passed through a short passage whicli connects it with the Rue St . Denis . This iTound also occupied by troops . I gained the Boulevards by another route . On arriving at the guardhouse of the Boulevards des Bonnes NouvcUes I sawla mob advancing with drums beating in front and flags fly ing . There was a strong body " of the Municipal buarfls at this spot , with a regiment of the line . The soldiers formed right across the Boulevard , and seemed determined to ' resist the approaching multitude who , by their glittering bayonets , appeared well armed . The head of the column halted ; a short consultation was held , and then the column wheeled off crying ' * Vive la Reforme , " and singing ihe never-dving" Mourir pour la Patrie . " . I proceeded to the Rue de ' to Harpe , by the way

of the Rue Poissonniere , crossing the Seine at the Pont Aeuf . I observed a sharp fusillade going on at l ont au Change , the next bridge , - - while troops ^ ere crowding to that point from every direction . The firing soon ceased , and the people gave way . At that moment a fresh body of military , who , by their appearance , had just entered Paris from some distance , passed along the quais . They consisted of lancers , dragoons , and horse artillery , with riflemen , and several regiments of the line . Both men and horses seemed dreadfully fatigued , being covered with mud , looking wet and miserable . All the bridges and quais were swarming with troops—light horse , dragoons , and cuirassierswho were incessantly employed in dispersing the numerous groups , who took every opportunity of assembling together , and venting their displeasure in loud outcries against the Ministry , mingled with " Vive la Ligne !"— " Vive la Reforme !"— " A has Guizot !"
Towards evening it was announced throughout the city that Guizot had resigned . The people ceased the struggle , and Paris became the theatre of universal rejoicing . But a fiercer , deadlier conflict was at hand . Throughout the evening the people marched in large processions through the streets , singing and shouting , but animated by peaceable intentions . A powerful column proceeded to the Boulevard des Capucines , where is situated the hotel of Foreign Affairs , the then residence of Guizot . Here they encountered an impenetrable barrier of armed soldiers , arranged in battle array , the whole breadth of the Boulevard .
The column , nevertheless , continued Us route , until the first rank came in contact with the front of the infantry . The officer who directed them then commanded them to halt , while lie advanced towards the commander of the soldiers to obtain a passage , promising at the same time the maintenance of good order , and answering for the pacific intentions of his followers . The commander refused . The citizen officer repeated his petition . The crowd drew near to listen , and to join their entreaties to that of their officer . The commander of the troop then ordered Mb soldiers to lower their bayonetsa command which could not be obeyed without breaking their line of battle . A breach was thus made , into which some childvea maliciously tried to
enter . The commander then considered his position lost , and his safety threatened ; he retired behind the throng , and , without any previous warning , gave orders to fire . Two hundred muBkets were then lived upon this dense , inoffensive , and unarmed crowd . It was a frightful spectacle to sec these thousands of citizens falling in confusion , overthrown by terror , grief , or death . When the prolonged noise of this atrocious discharge had ceased , when the infernal work of this horrible butchery appeared to be finished , thousands rose as from the tomb , and fled with swiftness from that fate which had spared them for fresh blows . They would not have fled if they had been armed ! Had they fled in the morning from the firing at the barricades ? Numerous victims remained : some already stiff in the stern embrace of death , others
uttering lamentable cries for pity and succour . Fifty-two wero raised ! the greater part deprived of life ! It is impossible to describe the public stupor , the expressions of grief , rage , and despair , which succeeded this barbarous episode . The unfortunate victims of this base assassination were immediately conveyed away by their fellowcitizens , who survived to avenge them . The cart which contained them was lighted with torches , surrounded by their brave comrades , whose tears were stifled by indignation , and who exclaimed with fury , 'Des armesldes armes 1 " while exhibiting the bleeding forms of those men , crewhilo singing and gay , now inanimate and still warm with the fire of the ' balls ; and the torches casting their light by turns upon the victims and their conductors , added to the tumultuous emotions which this
funeral procession excited . # * * * The National Guards passed the ni g ht in cleaning their arms ; making powder , and preparing balls ; trees fell under the stroke of the workmen ; the pavements were torn up , carriages and coaches were overturned , and gigantic barricades were erec ? ted in all the populous quarters . But the people being without arms , provided themselves by pulling down the church gates , by sharpening iron , and preparing clubs . Partners of their vengeance , as well as of their misery , the women brought their humble pewter dishes to convert into balls . So far from wishing to detain their protectors , they stimulated them , promising to throw their furniture , and even the roofs ol their houses upon the troops , in case they succeeded in destroying the barricades ; they passed the remaiuder of the night in preparing liniments and bandages to dress the wounds which the people might receive .
mE 24 th of febrcaky . The enraged people hailed with enthusiasm the dawn of this great day . Leaving the care of providing the necessary materials of war to their old men , women , and children , the avengers of liberty scattered themselves over the city . In the rue Mauconseil , a barricade was attacked by a military detachment . From time to time , a young man appeared above the intrenchment , entirely uncovered , loaded his gun , took aim with the greatest coolness , and struck a soldier at each blow . The detachment fired upon him , but not a ball reached him . lie repeated this manoeuvre ton times . The officer in command at last ordered liis soldiers not to fire . The young man then retired , and appeared no more . Let them talk of ancient chivalry ! M . Tiiieks had been called to the councils of Louis Philippe , and instructed to form an Administration , but it was " too late !"
We return to the " English Workman s Recollections : "As I proceeded into Paris , I heard drums beating in all directions , bells tolling , and the sound of the pickaxe and crowbar . At the church of our Lady deLorrette , the people were dragging down the iron railing in front , and removing the stones in the street . , Proceeding onwards , I saw barricades forming about every hundred yards right and left of me . A captain of the National Guards endeavoured to persuade them to desist ; but they refused , The rappel was beating * in all quarters : everywhere National Guards , singly or in parties , were hastening to their nlaees of rendezvous , clambering on the best way
thev could , for march they could not , tho road was now so dreadfully cut up . I would beg my reader to imagine Cheapside in London strewn with broken glass , bottles , pots , and iron . railings , diligenecs , omnibuses , carts , waggons , wheelbarrows , and watering-carts , planks ana scaftold-polcs , with ladders , barrels , buckets , and articles of household furniture , in fact everything a mob can lay their hands on ; and they then may form some notion of the scene which all the principal thoroughfares in Paris presented on that day . On reaching the bottom of the Bue du Faubourg Montmartre , I was stopped by the people , who were constructing a very strong barricade , and desired to assist . This I had no particular wish to do , as I
knew not how long before it might be the scene of a san < niinary struggle . The metUod pursued in constructing these street defences was nearly in all cases the same . "Where any street vehicles could readily be obtained , they were used in preference to other materials ; but as these things were now nearly used up , the mob had no resource but that of paA-ing stones . A band of labourers formed line across the street , ¦ w ith crowbars , pickaxes , or bars of iron , with which they loosened the Stones . These were rapidly taken up by another line , who passed them on to a third , and so on to the barricade . By these means a barricade was formed in an incredibly short space of time . My station was nearest to the harricaUi ;—for they had selected me , on account of my being taller
than most of them , to place the stones on the top—I took the opportunity of passing over to the other side , and finally gave them the slip . On reaching the Boulevards , 1 found all the fine trees cut down , and placed across the road . Everywhere were traces of the destructive activity of the preceding night . Advancing towards Porte St . Denis , 1 passed a very large body of troops . Dragoons dismounted , standing by their horses ; troops of the line , with their scarlet trousers covered with mud ; riflemen in their dark-green uniforms ; and artillery standing by their guns . " With tho exception of the military , I was alone on the Boulevard , and the sound of my own footsteps sounded painfully on my ear ; for the silence of death reigned amidst thousands , all standing still and motionless as statues . A leng line of watch-fires
were smouldering , round which they had evidently bivouacked ; and the men looked paleand spiritless with excessive fatigue . At the farther extremity of this body of soldiery were placed Several pieCCi ! of cannon , pointed towards Porte St . Denis . My heart sunk within me , and tears started in my eyes , as I thought how soon they might be used in the destruction of my fellow creatures . I never shall forget the sensations thosemurderous engines of war occasioned within me . - After passing these troops , and arriving at Porte St Denis , I found an enormous barricade . I climbed over , and was made prisoner in an mstant . Aeain I was set to work , as they were forming four massive barricades at this point—one across Rue St . Denis , one in the Faubourg and the two others across the Boulevard . . ; ¦
_ , , _ _ ___ At this work I was kept , as nigh as I can guess , about four hours , lifting great stones above my head At length I sank down upon a heap of stones , Sctl y overpowered by fatigue , although my ellW-labourers worked , on with undimnushed zeal ,

Perhaps , I did not enter into the spirit of the thing so much as they did , for I never shall forgot the activity displayed by all classes . The man of evident wealth , m morning gown and slippers , worked side by side with the labourer in blouse and sabots . All seemed actuated by tho same indomitable zeal , and perfect order and good-will seemed to exist among them . A . respectabl y-attired individual came up to me andmquircd m a compassionate tone if I was not fatigued . I shoved him my hands , torn and bleeding , my heated brow dripping with perspiration , and my soiled and mudd y dress . He entered a wineshop , and gave me a bottle of wine and a small Ioat , winch I very thankfully received , and quickly
lresentl y I heard a great beating of drums , and on looking over the barricade , saw a body of military approaching from the Faubourg , their glittering bavonets extending as far up the Faubourg as could well see . The barricades were manned in a moment . A parley took place between the troops and the people One orator spoke at great length , and evidently TCry much to the purpose , although I could not understand half of what he said ; but it ended b y tho soldiers giving up their arms to the people . This was scarcely finished , when another body of National Guards came up . A National Guard * who was with the people , stood on a broken pillar , and waved his hat on the point of his bayonet . The men came
rushing over the barricade , and boldly fraternised with the people . The mob , now mingled with the National Guards , formed hne on the Boulevard between Porto St . Denis and Porte St . Martin . Nearly all now had muskets , although many were armed with every species of weapon . Some had evidently furnished themselves from the theatres and old curiosity shops ; some were armed cap-a-pie , like the kni g hts of old ; SOmC j ™ Indian war clubs and tomahawks . Among other things , I recognised a very large sword which I remembered seeing exposed for sale as the sword of the executioner of Paris . Aery now burst from many lips of "Aux Tuilenes ! Aux Tuilcries ! " They formed columns , with drums at their head , and began a scrambling march over the numerous barricades down Hue St .
Denis . I had read , when a boy , of the awful and sanguinary struggle attending the taking of that abode of royalty ; and so suffering my curiosity to get the better of prudent fears , I followed the throng , who advanced beating their drums , and roaring in chovus the " Marseillaise , " particularly the words , " Aux armes , citoyens ! " varying it , however , with the eternal "Mourir pour la l ' atrio . " They took the direction of the . Tuilories , by the way of Rue Thevenot , crossing Rue Petite Cavreau , to the Place des Yictoires . At this place they halted , in order to induce a body of National Guards assembled there to join them . There was here a general inspection of the revolutionary irregulars . Those who had no
ammunition were supplied by those who had : a captain of the National Uuard took the command ; the revolutionary forces formed line , and marched and countermarched round the place . They were now a formidable-looking body—truly picturesque in their blouses and caps—their beards and savage-looking moustaches adding much to the effect , with their now half-military costume , for several wore dragoons' helmets , or the steel cap of days long past . Now again thundered the drums , and again a thousand voices roared the "Marseillaise , commencing with " Allons enfans de la pntrie ; " but many preferred beginning with the finish , and shouting at the top of their voices , '' Aux armes , citoyens ! '' and by way of variety , gave a few lines of the " Clior des Girondistes "—
" Mourir pour la patrie , C ' est le sort le plus beau , le plus digne d ' envie !" for they seldom got over those lines . "Aux armea ! Aux armesl Aux Tuilerics !" shouted a thousand voices ; and so to the Tuilcries they went , and I followed . BATTLE OF THE CHATEAU p ' EAU . On reaching the back of the Palais Royal , a short street separated me from the main body of the insurgents , when suddenly I heard the discharge of a single gun , and then another , and another . This
• was succeeded by p , dead silence ; and the few persons who were in the street stopped short , and turned pale , as I daresay I did myself . This lull of a few short moments was succeeded by a deafening roar , produced by the discharge of some hundreds of muskets , with a proximity so close , that the smoke whirled in white wreaths over my head . Then succeeded an irregular firing , which gradually increased in strength every moment . Then another , and another heavy discharge , fully convinced me that the people were engaged in regular battle with the military .
Gradually the excitement overcame my fears , and my pulse , though quick , beat more regularly . Wishing to obtain a view of tho aetion , I passed into the Hue do Valois , formed on one side by the Palais Royal . At the end of this street the people were firing over a barricade , at what or whom , the volumes of smoke prevented me seeing . One party , with sledge-hammers and crow-bars , were busily engaged in forcing the iron gates of the Palais lloyal , while others amused themselves by breaking the plate-glass windows with stones and oyster-shells . The lower windows , which were defended by strong iron bars , were battered in , bars , stonework , and all , and the mob entered . This part of the building , I imagined , must have been used as a store , from the immense quantity of wearing apparel that was thrown out and burned in the street . From one window was thrown an immense quantity
of bedding , which was likewise heaped on the flames , until the heat became insupportable , and the smoke all but blinding . Some , indeed , set fire to the building itself , which others extinguished , much , however , to their own personal risk . As the fighting continued , I lost all sense of danger , and soon found myself close to the barricade which ran across the Hue de Valois , from tho Palais Royal to a wine-shop opposite . On looking across the square in which stands the Aijade of the Palais BoyaJ , I found that the &iing on the part of the military proceeded from a guardhouse called the Chateau d'Eau . On a terrace that ran across the front of this building were stationed three ranks of Municipal Guards , while immediately below them stood a body of the troops of the line , the -whole joining in keeping up a constant fire .
The scene at this moment was one of great excitement . The flash ! flash ! of the musketry through the white smoke from the terrace and every window ; of tho guardhouse , the beating of drums , waving of flags , and brandishing of swords and pikes , all conspired to deaden the sense of danger , although the sound of the balls striking the barricades , or whistling over my head , bade me remember that I was witnessing a real battle . As yet I had seen no one hit on our side of the barricade ; but suddenly a young man who stood rather above me on . the barricade fell backwards among the stones and rubbish at my feet , liis teeth were firmly fixed in his under lip , and his eyes distorted by a fearful squint . In a moment the blood came bubbling through a small purple spot in
his forehead , and his features were soon covered with the sanguine dye . His white shirt was also soaked with blood , which ran . in a puddle among the broken stones , lie was soon picked up and carried away , and I could not refrain my tears at the sight . In a few moments another fell , shot through the shoulder , liis gun fell from his hands : and then what possessed me I do not know , for my excitement was more than can be well imagined , but I had taken the gun of the wounded man before Iliad given myself a moment ' time to consider , and immediately bang went my piece over tho barricade ! A Garde Nationale supplied me with some
cartridges , and from that moment I took my place among the defenders of the barricade . Although I could never boast of a great share of courage , yet at this moment nil thoughts of danger , of homo , wife , children , were all forgotten in the fierce delight of battle . It was like skating on very doubtful ice : we all know it is dangerous , but yet all think they will escape the drowning . The battle ' began about twelve o ' clock , and it was now nearly one . The people had now possession of the Palais lloyal , and the houses on the other corner of the street , from which they fired on the troops ) olow .
Some fought very bravely , standing on the top of the barricade , loading now , firing then . Others , almost on their hands and knees when under the barricade , would rise up and fire , retiring to load . Some indeed stood at the corner of a street some distance up , and fired off their pieces there , which greatly aducd to the danger of those who held the barricade . Every time the soldiers fired very heavily , a panic would seize some of the combatants , and these would make off , to take up a safer position high up the street . A little man , who was armed only with a sword , behaved very bravely . He rallied the fainthearted , stamped and swore , and , followed by a few as desperate as himself , leaped over the barricade . Tlioy WOl'O received with a deadly discharge , and many a poor fellow rolled over in the mud . The
few who were left standing came rushing over the barricade . A panic seized the rest , and some ran out of the street altogether . But although foiled in their first attempt , again they rushed over the barricade , again to meet with the-same repulse , and many with their deaths . It was now indeed a hideous sceno . The dying and the dead lay heaped together in pooh of blood . Their shrieks and groans rose into the air , mixed with the frantic yells and horrid imprecations of the mob ; the muskets kept up a deafeniDg roar , and their red flashes streamed incessantly through the stifling sulphurous smoke . The faces of the combatants were distorted with rage , and many fought on , mangled and bleeding , till they could no longer stand to load and fire . Abput { his time an offiger , whom I afterwards

learned to be General lamoricierc , rode into the square : both horse and rider rolled instantly into the mud . The general rose wounded , I believe and made his escape . A captain of tho Garde Nationale , the same I think who first led the insurgents , now stood on tho barricade waving liis sword , and inciting the mob to charge . He was shot through the body , and fell on the other side . But the mou rushed from three barricades at the same time , two being across Rue St . Honore , and engaged in deadly combat , hand in hand , with the soldiers . A deadly discharge came from every window of the post , while louder yells , and cries of agony and rage , mixed in wild and savage Jin with the unceasing roar of the guns . As I did not choose to pass over the barricade
myself , I could not well distinguish what was doing at this moment , from the mingled forms of the combatants , and the blinding smoke of a quantity of straw , which , plundered from the royal srable , was on fire in front of the guardhouse . Several men passed me with trusses of straw , and one carrying a large copper vessel , filled with oil . At once tho dreadful truth flashed across my mind : those human fiends intended to bum the wretched soldiers with the guardhouse . To aid this human sacrifice , the roval carnages were dragged out , and one after the other nred , until at last seventeen gilded carriages stood burning m the square , with an insufferable stench , m oue costly conflagration . The noise of the firingwhich had for two hours
, continued without intermission , now became fainter . X passed over the barricade , and was horror-struck on perceiving the flames rushing from evorv window of the Chateau d'Eau , and mounting high above the roof . A few scared and desperate wretches rushed out on the terrace shrieking , and were shot one by one as they appeared ; the rest remained insule and were all burned to death . Of the whole troop , as I afterwards learned , not one escaped Heart-sick at this fri ghtful butchery , I made my way over dead and wounded , burning fragments o ' f carnages , and blackened stinking heaps of halfbumccUti-aw , through a short street that led to tho Place Carrousel , in which stands the Chateau of tho " uilcries .
The "English Workman" speaks of the destruction of the troops at the Chateau d'Eau as a " frightful butchery . " Frightful , no doubt , hut the conquered courted their doom . The people offered to fraternise , but were answered onl y by yo niCB of musketry . The defenders of tyranny earned , and deserved their tragic punishment . The "human fiends" were those who arrayed their hired butchers against the people , and thereby rendered the frightful conflict at the Chateau d'Eau unavoidable . Had those " fiends " shared the destruction which fell upon their miserable tools , Justice would have had her due . Here is the "English Workman ' s" account of
THE-CAPTURE OP IUE TUILEIUES . The chief portion of the combatants who had been engaged in the destruction of the Palais Royal and the Chateau d'Eau had again formed into column . ' Here I naturall y expected a repetition of the scene I had just quitted . I threw myself into their ranks . I now had a musket and bayonet , besides a naked sword thrust through my * belt , which I had found by the side of an officer of the Garde Municipale , in the Place du Palais Royal . Onwards we marched ; stili no sign of resistance . With drums beating in front , we passed through tho triumphal arch that ornamented the chief entrance of the Tuilcries . There was still some firing going on , but nothing to wince at . Onwards we still
marched , crossing the courtyard in front of the chateau , and entering by the principal gate . Here was a scene which , though difficult to describe , will never he obliterated from my memory . It was a most splendid palace , glittering in crimson and gold ; beautiful mirrors and paintings adorned the walls , and magnificent chandeliers hung from the richly-sculptured and gilded roofs . Marble statues and busts of celebrated generals stood in one magnificent saloon . Rich crimson hangings , fringed deeply -with gold were festooned from the lofty windows , which reached from the roof to the floor , opening to a magnificent terrace overlooking the garden . I ran from room to room , admiring all that in the lapse of centuries art could produce or unbounded wealth purchase .
* * * * After leaving the chapel , I hurried through many splendid saloons and spacious halls , until if entered the throne-room . Here the work of destruction had commenced . The throne was torn from under its canopy , and borne away in frantic triumph by the mob . I tore a piece of the gold lace from the gorgeous crimson hanging , to preserve as a memento of the struggle . Louis Philippe and his family had fled . The people rejected the Count de Paris , and dissolved the Chambers . A Provisional Government was formed , and the Bepvblic proclaimed . VIVE LA REPUBLIQUE !

Chateaubriand ' s Sketch or Pitt . —Pitt was tall and thin , with a gloomy sneering expression . His language was cold , Ms intonation monotonous , his gestures passionless ; yet the Jucidncss and fluency of his ideas , and his logical reasoning , illuminated b y sudden flashes of eloquence , made his abilities something extraordinary . I saw Pitt pretty often , as iie walked across St . James ' s Park from his house on his way to the Ring . George III ., on his side , had perhaps just arrived from Windsor , after drinking beer from pewter-pots with the farmers of the neighbourhood ; he crossed the ugly court-yards of his ugly palaco in a dark carriage , followed by a few horse-guards ; this was the mastor of tho kings of Europe , as five or six city merchants are masters of India . Pitt , in a black coat ,
and brass-hilted sword , with his hat under his arm , went up-stairs , two or three steps at a time ; on his way he only saw a few idle emigres , and g lancing very disdainfully at us , passed on with a pale faco and head thrown back . This great financier maintained no order in his own house—he had no regular hours for liis meals or his sleep . Plunged in debt , he paid nothing , and could not make up his mind to aduupabill . A valet managed his household affairs . Ill dressed , without pleasure , without pas-SUMS , eager foi' powci 1 alone , ho despised honours , and would be nothing but William Pitt . Lord Liverpool took me to dine in his country house in the month of June , 1 S 22 , and on the way thither , pointed out to me the small house where died in poverty the son of Lord Chatham , the statesman who brought all Europe into his pay , and distributed with liis own hands all tho millions of the earth . —
Memoirs of Chateaubriand . Presehvatios op Books . —About twenty-five years ago I was annoyed by finding tho backs of several rows of books , some in a bookcase having glazed _ doors , which were kept locked , and others on adjoining open shelves , frequently mildewed . Wiping them carefully only cleaned them for a time , for fresh crops of mildew speedily disfigured them again . Remembering to have seen my father , who always made his own ink , finish off by pouring a
glass of spirits of wine into the ink jar , in order to prevent its becoming mouldy , I lightly washed _ over the backs and covers of the books with spirits of wine , using , as a brush , the feather of a gooscquill . I frequently saw the books during the next five years , and I have occasionally seen them since , and there has not , so far as I am aware , been a single spot of mildew on them since the spirits of wine were applied . I have used sp irits of wine to prevent mildew with equally good effect in other cases . —Correstiondcnt in the Jiuildcr .

Thk 1 ' uLPiT and the Prkss . —A genuine Yankee , down west , was holding forth very emphatically on tho siiifulnoss of tho age , and pointing out to his congregation the value of the golden rule , " to do as they would be done by , " when suddenly he mado a pause , and said , —'' Perhaps it may not be amiss to remember the printer in my discourse . He is in a very disagreeable situation . He trusts everybody —he knows not whom ; his money is scattered everywhere , and ho liardlv knows where to look for it . His paper , his ink , his type , his journeymen ' s labour , liis living , Ac , must be punctually paid for . You , Mr . , and Mr . , and a hundred others I could name , have taken his paper , and you and

The Russian- Miscreant . —The Emperor of Russia has issued commands to all charitable and benevolent institutions in the empire , positively prohibiting them to augment their funds by means of masquerades and public amusements . Ovn TEorLE— The first Charles Matiiews used to describe throe meagre brothers , all men of business in New York , who always had their garments made double the fitting size , in order to save time and trouble in case their respective corporations should increase , an occurrence which appeared probable to
them alone . The residents of another busy Btreet in that same western city , about twenty years ago , may recollect an old man whose whim was still more remarkable . He was a bachelor with a decent income : and , strange to say , no miser , though he lived all alone , acted as liis own attendant in every department of housekeeping , and never admitted a single feminine assistant , as his special ambition was to bo what he called independent of women . And one of his chief doctrines was , that no man could admit one of the fair ( by courtesy ) within the walla of his domicile and escape absolute slavery . To preserve his own liberty , therefore , this original philosopher superseded the ladies in actual service , from stitching shirts to making tea . He is said to have acquired extraordinary proficiency , particularly iu the former art , and always boasted to his friends that he was one independent man .
Valuation- of "Wives on- Railways . —A case , says tho Cambridge Chronicle , was lately decided in one of the courts , by which it is now ruled that husbands who lose their wives by railway accidents can onl y claim , in compensation , the amount of any income which may have been cut short by their death . Thus , " virtuous women , who were only crowns to their husbands , " will bo valued , according to the tombstone- cutter ' s rule , at five shillings . It has been suggested that at railway stations , " besides tho " ladies refreshment room , '' there should be a " ladies' valuation room , " with a proper officer in attendance . As the ladies pass , scenes of the following tenor , it is supposed , would pass also : — "What sort of a wife are you , ma ' am ? " "Sir !" — " Ot what value are you to your husband ? " " Youv question is very impertinent , sir . I believe , although I did not brim * my husband a shillinc , ho
would be filled with deep sorrow were he to lose me . "— " O ! we have nothing to do with that , ma ' am—sorrow does not enter into railway calculations . You may pass . " —Another enters : "Pray , ma ' am , how does youv husband estimate you ?" " You are as great a brute as my husband , ' I believe , and that is saying a groat deal . I bring him ten thousand a year , which goes back to my relations if I die , as we have no children ; and yet the wretch uses me worse than "— "Station-master ! quick , quick !

The Greater Calf . — Sir William Burrell used frequently to boast of having been both at Oxford and Cambridge ; being one day at an agricultural meeting , he made some proposals which a farmer present objected to . " Sir , " said the baronet , who could ill brook any opposition from an inferior , " I should be very sorry indeed if I were not better juformed on such subjects than you are , having been at two Universities .
