""—"" EOKEIGK INTELLIGENCE . FRANCE . Paris , Thursday Evening . . .. M . Targe , an actor known in his profession by the name of Thierry , has just been tried by court-martial upon the charge of having taken part in the insurrection of June , 1848 . The court-martial found him guilty , 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 Eouen 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 " Vivela Kapublique democratize . " For this , which , by the way , is yet a legal cry , the president of the court called them back , and added two years of further imprisonment to their sentences . ITALY .
Rome , Nov . 4 . —After the late awful butchery at Ancona , a second scene of the 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 ac-ain ; 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 . Yincenzo Rocchi , alias the Moor , after receivintr 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 . '" " Evviva la
Patria ! " &c

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 night . . 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 © f the Thames , from Southwark-bridge to Pimlico , the increase of the tide being mainly assisted by the immense quantity of ram 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 Frorae 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 ot 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 . It 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 by 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 ou 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 of 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 . > J r "
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 . , I ¦
