FR 1 NCE . / The practice of making a demonstration at the faneral of Socialist ! seems to be extending ; From seven thousand to eL ? U thousand brothers of the 1 jCiois Rousse' at Lyons formed , the mourning cortege , on Monday hut , of . a Socialist named Mathey , who , on his quitting the world , declined receiving the consolation of religion . His interment consequently took p lace without a clergyman being in attendance . It was considered that so large an
assemblage rendered it necessary to take precautions against any violation of the peace ; and General Castellane took his measures accordingly . The eeremony passed off tranquilly ; no cries were ottered , and no speeches made . General Castellane , considering that these repeated manifestations , however peaceable they may be , are a cause of alarm to the population , and of much fatigue to the troops , hai issued a proclamation limiting to three hundred the number of persons that can be present at any future interment .
Further accounts from St . Amand , in the Nievre , state that the Prefect reached the town at eight o ' clock in the morning , with the ' chasseura a cheval' and four brigades of gendarmerie . This military force , it appears , was indispensable . The Mayor had been exposed on the 15 th to the greatest danger , as also the Sub-Prefect . The arrival of the troops put an end to the disturbance ; eighteen ringleaders were forthwith arrested by order of the Prefect , and conducted to Cosne with a strong escort . Their departure produced a great effect on the people who had coxe in from the surrounding country . The informations taken on the spot b y the law officers shov , it is said , beyond a doubt , the existence of a plan on the part of the people to get up an emeufe wherever the conscription waB going on .
Several more arrests have since taken place , and the number of prisoners now amounts to sixtyeight . M . Victor Hugo has pledged himself to the students that , if bis health permit him , he will support , rabfeptow in the Assembly , the petition in favour of the restoration of M . Michelet to his chair in the College de France . Another demonstration on the part of the students has taken place , and sixty-five of them have been arrested . Another professor had been dismissed on the ground of denting the existence of the Supreme Being , &c .
Democratic demonstrations on the occasion of the conscription have taken place at Si . Gauvern , Chablis , Fleury , Laroche , Chateanbilain , aud various other places , and , in some isolated cases , have been connived at by the authorities . In tiro other places , the elections for the municipal authorities have terminated in favour of the Socialists . The ' Assize Court at Toulouse has ju 3 t acquitted the editor of the ' Civilisation / who was brought to . trial for having written what was considered a most insulting and disrespectful article against the President ; and the editor of the Gazette d * France' has also been acquitted on the same charge . These portentous warnings must show the' friends of order' that ' something mast be done . '
A horrible occurrence on Saturday in the Champs Elysees , has made the gay and giddy denizens of this capital pause iu their career of folly and frivolity . Whilst the gaudy glittering throng of Cirriages in tri ple ro « swaa on Saturday gliding along this delightful promenade , and all was joy and thoughtlessness , an admirably appointed equipage , drawn by a pair of thorough-bred horses , was seen driving rapidly up the middle drive , " when the carriage suddenly stopped , a lady , who was
beautifully dressed , rushed out , disdaining the aid of the footman , drew a pistol from her bosom and discharged it at her heart . This frightful event occurring in the broad and garish eye of day , attracted a large assemblage of people , aud from the depths of the crowd a shrill cry of despair was heard ; it came from a gentleman , whose appearance bore evident marks of having had an altercation with a female . . He rushed to the spot and found that it « as his wife . Jealousy is assigned as the cause of this dreadful act .
The people in the provinces' are becoming- more and more obstreperous . The government , on Tuesday last , received accounts of a rising at Grenoble , and at Nime 3 there has been a tremendous outbreak . _ There are vast numbers of Protestants in the neighbourhood , and several of them having taken refuge in an auberge from their Popish persecutors , these latter assembled round the house and cried out , < Throw us those cursed Protestants out of the window , and let us cut their throats . ' There was a noisy debate in the Assembly on Monday last respecting the proposed expedition to Cabjlia , in Algeria , which is , in fact , the Cape of
Good Hope , of France . After much opposition the expedition was agreed to by a majority of 378 to 268 . A few days back , at Pari-nargues , when the drawing for the conscription took place , the young men who drew unlucky numbers paraded through the town , displacing flags dressed out with thyme , but the Prefect of the Gard interfered and stopped the procession . At ni ght , however , they again appeared and , it is said , brutally assaulted several per sons in the streets , wounding one man severely with an axe . Several persons have since been arrested . At St . Andre ( Ardeche ) some processions have also taken place and the cry of ' Djwn with all aristos , spies , and whites /
Amongst the documents distributed to the Assembly was the report of M . Cnquerel on M . E . di Girardin ' s proposition to abrogate the laws of April 10 th , 1832 , and of May 26 th and June 27 tb , 1848—that is , the laws interdicting a residence in France to the members of the two branches of the Bourbon family and to the transported of June . The report recommends the Assembly nat to entertain the proposition .
PRUSSIA . The anniversary of the Berlin revolution on Tuesday , the 18 ib , did not pass quietly . During the whole of tie morning and afternoon the numbers of persons who pilgrimaged to the graves of those who fell on the barricades in 1848 , and who are buried in the Friedrickshaiu , passed qnietly in and out of the churchyard , without the slightest attempt at disturbance , or expression of ill will towards the police and military . Of both these forces large bodies were in the immediate nei ghbourhood . Towards evening , however , as the police report says , less motion was observed among the visitors ; they collected more in large knots , and several said to he
drunken personages were seen to make themselves prominent . br antics and speechifying . The police authorities instantly ordered the churchyard to be cleared . The tnoh obeyed with perfect good hujnour , but in passing through the narrow inlet through the taudsberger-gate into the town they got jammed , and at the same instant a knot of democratic personages , whose names are all given ; mechanics , && , made their pppearances , and by loud exclamations and hurrahs endeavoured to excite the illegalities ( what kind of illegalities is not
mentioned ) . The police interfered agaiu , and finding words useless in forcing a large mob through a narrow passage , they drew the short sabres with which they are armed , and used them on the heads and shoulders of the outsiders of the mob . A portion of the latter retorted with strong arguments , but were unsupported by the rest , and their resistance ended in the clutches of the police . The mass of the people separated and returned to their home 3 the moment they eifec ; ed a passage through the gate . More than fifty persons were arrested , several of
whom are said by the papers to be wounded . There can be no doubt that had ' the injudicious and unwarranted interference of the police not taken place , or had they tried the effect of Casimer Pompier ' s method of dissolving mobs by water—the Berlin steam ^ re-engine would be useful—the disturbance complained of by the authorities would not hare occurred . But it has been asserted that tbe disturbances were not half serious enough to please these same authorities , and that nothing would suit the purposes of those in power at this moment better tban another opportunity of saving the stale by nip-S * ded "Wefi-n in the bud .

has concluded its labours . The task was / divided in sections among jurists of known ability . " \ Tney report in favour of retaining . ne punUb " nienC $ f ^ death , in Prussia beheaaug Is 'fixed as-the mode of inflicting it , except in thej Rhine . provinces , where-the guillotine has been introduced . / i \ . . ' ; ¦ ' . , Prussia ( says theVCologne Gazette' ) has yielded tbe point of the sole presidency to Austria . That paper maintains that this concession is not one of mere precedency of honour , but one that entirely nullifies the parity , even though the subordinate de *
mand of Prussia with respect to the joint ad mink tration of the affairs of the Diet should be acceded to . The same journal says that it is no longer a secret that Prince Scbwarz'mberg has made promises to Bavaria which the Prince declares he must , under all circumstances , make good . Austria , therefore , claims for Bavaria a higher position in the Diet than she has yet held . ' Prussia rejects the demand ; but the interchange of a few notes ' , says the Cologne Gazette / will probably settle this matter too to the satisfaction of Austria .
GERMANY . The cabinet of St . Petersbnrgh , it is said , has addressed a note to the cabinet of Vienna ' , Strongly objecting to the entrance of the whole Austrian Mpnarchy into the Bund , without Ihe consent of all the parties to the treaty of 1815 . The Austrian Ministeral papers announce that arrangements have been made with Prussia on the question o ! the Presidency . Austria will preside in the Diet , and the two Powers will share the
Presidency of tbe Executive Committee . : , •' Our advices from Dresden are of the 20 th inst . They give no hopes of a speedy settlement of the German question with respect to the differences between Prussia and Austria . Nevertheless it is stated that the Committees continue their sittings and their labours , and that the fourth Committee in particular is on the point of completing ' its report on the organisation and competency of the Federal Court of Arbitration . A plenary sitting was expected to take place in the course of the present
week . The situation of affairs in Electoral Hesse does not appear to improve . The military tribunals continue to condemn civil functionaries and members of the Commission of tbe States . The attitude of the inhabitants appears to be still hostile to the government of the Elector .
ITALY . In the northern provinces tlie ' Passatore still bids defiance to the Austrian and Papal forces , as well as tbe flying columns . of gendarmes who are perpetually in search of him . He is supposed , how . ever to have had a narrow escape on the first of this month , in the neighbourhood of San Giuseppe , in Veltana . ThegentSarmes stationed at that post were informed that four unknown individuals ' bad been sejen carrying arms and travelling , in three of those light cars called lirroccini , against which the commissary-general of the province lately issued an edict . The gendarmes immediately set out in the direction indicated , but only came up with the supposed brigands at nightfall ; when some shots
were exchanged , after which the brigands effected their escape , leaving behind them the three Mrroccini and two of their horses , which were ; taken possession of by the gendarmes . From information collected on the subject it appears positive that the Passatore himself was in one of the cars . No expedition of any importance has been recently undertaken by the ; marauders , on account of the danger of betrayal to which the chiefs would be subjected , through the price of 3 , 000 dollars , which has been offered by the police authorities for each of their heads ; but as this premium was only , made payable during theipace of one month , it is apprehended that at the termination of that period tbe bands will come out again from their mountain fastnesses , as well as from their secret residences in the towns and villages . : TURKEY . A letter from Constantinople of the 6 th says ' : — General Detubinskt arrived here hat week from Kutayab , where he left his fellow-prisoners , expecting the arrival of the commissary of the Porte and the agent of the internuncio , whs were to bring the Emperor of Austria ' s amnesty . General Dembinski was perfectly well received at the French embassy . He does not , as was reported , intend to stay at Constantinople , but will embark in the next mail steamer for Paris . He has been visited by all the Refugees of distinction ' here , . both Poles and
Italians . On the evening of his arrival a company of Refugee musicians , called Garibaldi ' s band , gave him a serenade , and at the intervals between the airs shouted' The Republic for ever ! Down with the Austrians I' in which they were joined by the crowd of Refugees . General Dembinski' did not seem over-flattered b y this . demonstration , and is even said to have severely blamed it . Curiously enough , Garibaldi ' s band , after serenading General Derabinski , - went to the Russian palace , where there was a ball , and , for the usual fee , played all ni g ht while the Russians and Austrians danced . ' _ Advices from Bessarabia state that 70 , 000 Russian troops have entered that province . Advices from Agr am state that the insurrection in Bosnia is spreading with fearful rapidity . UNITED STATES . We have received late advices from America up totbel 2 tb . There is nothing particular in the political or general advices ' from the United States . On the 21 st of January a battle was fought at San Jose , which ' lasted for six hours , between the opposing forces of Guatemala and San Salvador . Tbe fatter ( aided by Honduras ) were signally defeated , and the victors were about marching on San Salvador , under General Carrera , when our advices left . ' ¦ ' '
The fugitive slave law in Boston is becoming more complicated than ever . . Mr . Charles G . Davis , vrtiose case came on after that of Mr . Elizur Wright , was acquitted for want of evidence . James Scott , a coloured man , was next examined , and bound over for trial in the sum of 2 , 000 dots . Two similar cases still remain to be disposed of . Robert Morris , jun ., a coloured lawyer , and J . H . C ) hurn , clothes dealer , were also . arrested , 6 n a charge of aiding in the rescue of the slave Shadrach . On the
other hand , George Lunt , U . Si district attorney , has been arrested and held to bail in the sum of 10 , 000 dols ., on a writ brought by Burton , tbe coloured man recently arrested in Salem . George T . Curtis , U . S . Commissioner , and- Patrick Riley , Deputy U . S . Marshal , have also been held for trial in 10 , 000 dols . each on charge ' ' of " arresting the fugitive Shadrach . The" grounds upon wbicti these suits are brought are , that the fugitive slave law is unconstitutional , and ' that the officers prosecuted acted without authority
JAMAICA . The government of the island has distributed £ 15 , 000 to the parishes of the island where cholera has appeared . The cholera still prevails to some extent in the interior of the island . : About six o ' clock in the morning of the 25 th of February a fire breke out in the New Town , Port Royal , the p lace where formerly her Majesty ' s ships were victualled , but recently used as the coal depot . The stores , three in number , which were lad en with coals , and the house of Mr .
Manley , late purser , in charge of . the . ' victualling depot , were burnt to the ground , ' and the . whole mass of coals , amountin g to . many hundred ! tons was at pue time in a state of complete ' combustion , and defying all efforts to subdue it for nearly twelve houral The loss'to the government ; is estimated at considerably more than £ 6 ; 000 . The origin of the fire is ; stated . to be spontaneous combustion of some patented fuel , as the flames were first seentoi 3 sae from among thej mass ' of , that material . Everybody , soldiers , sailors , and civi . Hans , exerted themselves nobly , and eventually put a stop to the ravages of the devouring element .

serious robbery to the extent gf nearly £ 10 , 000 has been committed on tbe Oriental Bank . Notes to this amount had been put away the previous evening , and the safe containing them pui into the strong room in which it was usually kept , both , as waa averred , locked up by the native cashkeepers . ' Next morning the locks were found open , and the money gone ; . as they had sustained '' no injury , it seems doubtful'if they were ever locked , and suspicion attache ? to those entrusted with closing them " . The numbers of the notes baying been ' advertised , and intimation made tbaubey would be refused payment
on presentation , the p / incipal native , money lenders from the bazaar assembled at the Bombay Bankthe Oriental has ceased to issue notes—to ascertain whether those on whom no , suspicion of connexion with the robbery fell would be ^ subjected te loss by the ' stolen notes coming accidqntly into their hands , astbe . whole of the holders of the notej of the Bank insisted on having them cashed on the instant if there was to be any risk ; and the assurance was accordingly given that all notes presented by innocent holders would be accepted . No trace as yet of the robbers has been met with ; susoicton rests on
the native servants of tbe Bank . We takethe following from the / Delhi Gazette , ' of . tbe 29 th ult ., in reference'to the , annexation of a portion of the Nizam ' s dominions to the British territories : — We have been , informed on good authority , that final orders were received by the last mail from the Court of Directors for the ' imnjediate annexation of the Hyderabad territory . This determination of the Court has no doubt been hastened by the inability of the'Nizam to s ' ettle the debt owing to our Government , and as tb > intentions of government , in the event of further , delay , have been f * r some time no secret , the Calcutta and 'Bombay journalsJiaving several , tirats broadl y hinted at the probability of this . denoueraent . in the event of the
Nizam . not meeting his . engagements , it is to be hoped all will be quietly settled . We believe that a certain time was allowed by the government for the payment of the debt , which lias now become sornei thing considerable , and according to our contemporaries the stated period elapsed some , twenty , days since , when a letter was addressed M y . the'ReBident ' j calling for immediate payment , ' and the only reply vouchsafed was a call upon the ; Minister ' of Finance to supply funds , which ; with that easy grace peculiar to courtiers , they promissd to do , well knowing , at the time that their promises wtre ;" as they have always proved in this matter , made without any prospect of their being performed within the specified time . . - ' .

Explosion - ' or , - ¦ an ¦ -American . Stbambr — Cincinnati , -March 7 th . —The steamer Oregon , bound down from Louisville , while passing through the shute of island No . 82 , at one p . m . on the 2 nd inst ., burst her boiler ,, with a , tremendous report , carrying away the forward cabin and upper deck , and killing and wounding sixty persons . She . was heavily laden , and had from eighty , to 100 passengers , who had just finished dinner ; and were mostly collected in . the hall and . on -the forward ! guards at the time . iSheitook , fire after the explosion and burnt to the water ' s edge , ' and being ; in the channel and underway would have consumed all those on board but for the assistance of the , Iroquois , which was wooding within a mile of the Oregon . Upon
seeing the explosion Captain ^ Lee ,. of thelroquois , gave orders to go to the relief of the Oregon . But few minutes elapsed before ; she was alongside the Oregon . ;; The flames had . just ; burst through the hurricane roof . ¦ Men , women , and ; children were collected together on tlieaftorpart of the boat , without the means of ' getting away ; but by jumping into the river : ; The shrieks of the women , the frenzy of the men , ready to leap overboard-to avoid the more horrible death by fire , and the groans of the scalded and dyingi'and the piteous lowing of the cattle , baffle description ; Captain- Lee-ran to the bow of the Iroquois aft of the'Oregon , and ladders being placed from the . upper deck of the Oregon to -the lower deck of the Iroquois , all on board the burning
vessel , who were able to walk , got off , the Iroquois being all the time in great dancer of taking fire . Captain'Montgomery was the last man to leave the wreck , which he did just as the Iroquois was backing away . Ihe parting of the boats- 'caused the ladder to fall , and precipitated Captain 'Montgomery into the river ; from winch ' he was rescued , but with several bruises . " The-clerk ' s office was entirely blown away . together with ( the books and papers of the'boat .. ' George Brown , " first ' clerk ;' was in : the office at the timefof { he explosion ,: and was killed . The waiters in the cabin i were at dinner , and all were killed except the steward . Eight white firemen were killed . ; It is impossible Jo give a correct idea Of the loss of life , ' nothing' having been left whereby
to ascertain names . The floor of the Iroquois presented an awful sight . ' The Oregon was' scuttled , but it proved useless , as the burning of the upper works'oauped her to rise faster than the holes could allow the introduction of wbter to sink her . The steamer Bulletin came up soon after the accident occurred , and . endeavoured to extinguish the flames by means of her engines , which ; however , " proved abortive . r The passengers of the BuUelin . afforded much aid , and . remained . aboard the Iroquois until they reached Memphis ^ when ' the ' sufferers were , taken to the hospital ; many of them in the ' agonies ; of death " .
