- His wife was a handsome, fashionable woman, and his eldest daughter was in many respects like her mo- cher. ‘The father was fond of his daughter, too fond to see her faults. He did not know how deeply the hate- ‘ul weed of pride had taken root in her heart, until he heard her speak contemptuously of the class to which her mother had belonged, until he heard her refuse to visit one to whose father her own owed all his prospe- rity.’

Boao or Hearru aprointment.—We occasionally, though it is only occasionally, have reason to congratu- jate the public on some appointment finding its way out . ofthe hands of the Compact into some other channel. Had the people a chance against monopoly this would frequently be the case. We now allude to the appoint- | nent of Dr. Hobkirk by the Board of Health to be their | i Surgeon. We hear also thiat he is associated with Dr. Mackieson to inspect Emigrant vessels. We have no 4 4 feeling of disrespect whatever towards the latter gentle- i man, whose deportment is always correct; but we rejoice to find that there are sometimes chances thrown in the way of other people. We do not know that we should nave thought anything of this appointment, had we not witnessed the great anxiety on the subject displayed by “ae monopolist party, and their giving evident symptoms t an opinion, that their privileges are invaded.

surrection being broken, the insurgents were either shot, taken prisoners, or fled into the country, in the direction towards Vincennes. The eastern quarters, comprising the faubourgs St. Antoine, du 'l'emple, Meu- ilmoutant, and Pepincourt were the last subdued. The

jlast bank took refuge in the celebrated cemetery of

Pere ia Chaise, but the Garde Mobile hunted them even from this sanctuary, and they were scattered in the neighbouring fields. On Tuesday the: insurrection was definitively queiled.

The loss of life in this most unexampled conflict has been terrific. We are afraid that the predominating loss will be found to be far greater on the side of the soldiery than of the insurgents. No fewer than fourteen cae officers have been put hors de combat, a greater Joss than in the most splendid engagements of Napoleon. Amongst those who fell are General Negrier and Gen-

-erals Deart and Brea; Generals Charbonnel and Re-

nault, and others, were severely wounded. Four or five members of the National Assembly are amongst the

‘a Thursday night about 1] c’clock another English took place, as at St. Denis and St. Martin, it now appears

that the enthnsiastic courage of the insurgents repulsed them, and even beat them in other parts of the city. Lamartine rode with the staff of Cavaignac through Paris to quell the insurrection ; but it was evident that nothing but the power of arms could compel the insur- gents to yield. ‘The Government forces were divided into three divisions ; and large masses of troops were brought to bear with artillery upon the positions of the insurgents ; but still Friday passed and the insurrection had evidently gathered strength. On Saturday the National Assembly declared itself in permanence, and Paris was placed ina state of seige. ‘I'he Executive power was delegated absolutely to General Cayaignac ;
