The Monilcur slates llut at Clnilona, on the 5th inst., forty men surprised a small post of infantry. They then atâ€" tempted to get possession of lhe railroad station, crying “Viva la Repubhque.’ Driven back, they occupied the head of the bridy to interrupt communication with the barracks. The officers, who live in the town, cut their way through, and the garrison also lurning out, the riolem were dispersed. Fifteen men were captured. The Patrie givns furthpr details of the revolutionary attempt at Chalons, showing that the mob took the infantry post by surprise, and seized nearly all Ihe arms. The rioters were subsequently s nbdued by a strong military detachment, and many arrests were made. The Moniteur of the 11 inst. says that on the 24th ult., arrests were made in various parts of France. which deieated culpable projects, and led to the discovery and s. izure of arms, ammunition, and com- promising correspondence. 'l'he arreats. however, have been exaggerated. The)" are limited to fifty principal ringleadors at Paris, twenty at. Lyons, twelve at Mar- seilles, and {our on an average in forty other departments. In spite of this pre- caution a gathering took place in Paris on t 13 night of the 5th of March, but firm and vigilant measures causrd it to prove abortive, and led to twenty new arrests.

FRANCE A lengthy pamphlet was issued in Paris in regard to the refugee difficulty between France and England, windmg up with an appeal to the English Government and people, expressing a hope that the alliance will firmly stand the trial which it is un- dergoing. The manifesto was regarded as a state paper and attracted much at- tention in France, and it is said to have produced a favourable impression In Engâ€" land. The reverse was the case. Lord Malmsbury‘s despatch had been communicated to the French GOVernment, the form oflt was not. known, but. it i: said lo be firm and conciliatory. It had been reported that Walewski had retired from the French foreign min- istry, but the report was unconfirmed. There had been some rioting in Dublin between the police and College students. Five of the latter are said to be danger- ously injured. Rumors are afloat that satisfactory news from India had been received, but the despatch had not reached Liverpool when the Niagara left. Rumors were current of a deficiency in the British Treasury, and of a small loan being confidentially negotiated. On ll-e other hand, it was asserted that [he Cui- toms’ revenue would exceed the estimates. The army and navy estimates were moved for four months on account, and the motions were agreed to.

With regard to the first, he entered into some explanation with respect to the Militia; that in con- sequence of the state of atl'iir: in India. it was intended to embody a grea'e muan of militia, and in order to defray the ex» penditure, he proposed to ask for a rug plementary grant of £700,000.

SPAIN The mortal remains of Mr. Ed- ward Pears, a member of the Thornhill Lodge of Odd Fellows, was followed to the grave on Sun- ‘day last by a large number of the fraternity, dreSSed in the mourning badges of the Order. The proces- sion was highly respectable, and presented a Very striking appear- ance. After the body was deposi- ted in the grave, the N. G. (T. Cooper, Esq.) read the beautiful burial service of the Order, which was listenedt o with marked attention by all those who were present. The members then re- turned to their Lodge-room, where the N. G. declared the funeral ceremonies closed. Great credit is due to the officers and members of this Lodge for the courteous and affable manner in which they at- tended the last moments of their departed brother. He wasayoung man who emigrated to this country some years since; and had beeh a resident of Thornhill and a member of that Lodge for a length of time, during which he made many our midst. BURIAL OF MR. EDW. FEARS ll We have just received a number ofa racy little paper, published a! Toronto. under the above caption. It professes to be a take 011' on any- thing and every body. Some of its lake-oil's are very apt and amusing. we highly recommend it to the no- tice of our numerous readers. POSITION OF PARTIES THE “ GRUMBLER.” Mr. Isles swore that he knew Townsend well; he had been ac- quainted with him from seven to nine years; had on several occa- sions spoken to and walked with him, and recognised him immedi- ately; he came to his house on the lllh of November, and at once gave information to the Chief 0f Police. Mr. Iles requested that the pri- soner might be searched, as the prisoner had frequently threatened his (Mr. Iles) life, which was done, but nothing was found on him Friday, March 27. Hugh McKay emphatically swore that the prisoner was the man whom he had seen on the cars.â€" He swore it against all creation besides. \Ve have perused the above work with great pleasure. McLachlan blends together the pleasing melan- choly of Tannahill with the strong sense and patriotism of Burns. His muse sings as true as if it bounded unfettered over the scenes of his native land, while. it adapts itself in strains equally af- fecting to the objects and senti- ments of his adopted country. These poems evince a grasp of thought, a depth and warmth of feeling, a strength and delicacy of expression Seldom to be met with in similar productions in the pre- sent day. The volume is worthy of a place in every library. Let us hope that Scotehmen, at least, will endeavor to secure for themselves a copy, and thus aid a countryman who so well deserves their pa- tronage. TOWNSEND alias MCIIENRY Elizabeth Jordan, innkeeper, at Port Robinsonâ€"Could not, recog- nize the prisoner as the man who was at her house when Richards was shot. William Potts had been ac- quainted with Townsend; had heard some one say to Richards “do take your hand off or you are a dead man;” and he saw Charley immediately fall, and to the best of his knowledge the prisoner was the man. Robert Fleming swore positively that the prisoner was the man who shot Richards. George Forbes, a gaoler for the County of Oxford, swore that the prisoner was the man whom be de- tained at the cars as Townsend, but who escaped by jumping on the last car as the train paSSCd on. The prisoner throughout the day appeared ferfeclly cool and col- lected, and fearlesst confronted the witnesses. The excitement evinced by the public, is, we believe, unparalleled, which seems to increase in intenâ€" sity as the trial progresses. The counsel for the prosecution, and the counsel [or the defence, have each many witnesses; the one to swear yea, and the other equally positive will swear nay. The counsel for the prosecution are Mr. Donald Macdonald, Q. C., and Mr. Harri- son. 'l‘he prisoner is defended by Mr. Freeman, Q. 0., Mr. Start, and Mr. Currie. . (Before .Mr. Justice .Mchan.) Is this man the veritable Town- send or not is a question asked by every one solved by few, which is the more perplexingon account ofthe conflicting testimony of those who profess to he intimately acquainted with him. Mr. Harrison opened the case in a very powerful speech. He deâ€" tailed the circumstances connected with the death of Nellis and Rich- ard’s. He commented on his evi- dence. On the unsatisfactory ac- count given by Mol'Ienry of himself on the fact of the scars on the pri- soner resembling those of Town- send, and concluded by demanding a calm and thorough investigation of the case. \Villiam Bryson, one of Town- send’s gang, swore positivelv that the prisoner at the bar was the no- torious Townsend, and that he shot Mr. Nellis. friends, especially among the Order of Om: FELLOWS: and here we may mention that this is one of the many benefits arising from this fraternity that in whatever country or clime our lot may be cast, if that country bears lhe footprints of ODD FELLOWSHIP, the members of our Order need not fear. They can throw themselves upon the troubled waves of human life, and lot it bear them where it may, they have few apprehensions of want or suf- fering ; they, and their wants are immediately attended to. The Thornhill Lodge we understand is at present in a very prosperous condition; propositions for mem- berships, and initiations, are their nightly employments; and we have no hesitation in saying that under the able management of the present officers it is conducted in that spirit of candour which should ever characterize the conduct of every ODD FELLOW.
