From the Journal du Hereof the 1 5'h April Yesterday, af:er the review, the Kr.g as sembled the MirshiU and otlkei of the re jiiment, and addressed them The day past tranquilly, and nothing seemed to nre?;ii;e a struggle, until about fouroclock, a few groups collected in the cent!e of ti-e city, and rais ed, by overturning carriages, barricades in the adjacent ftieMs of St. M irtin ai d St. Oeniiis. barricades were . . 1 1 Uo i aiscd in ot a--1 ciqutiitrs. ueure st oiot K, tnt-ic wa alTair with musketry, in which seven! person . A grenadier and a drrj;n;r!er, were killed who were alonv, were assassinated. The killed and wou".dcd amounted to sixty. A great r umber of arrest hare taken place. Paris is bustling with troops and artillery. The regiment of carbiniers has jist ai rived at Versailles. This morning at half past five, the tiring recommerced in the streets Mauhuce, Transnonin, and .Montmorency. The 54th and 3j;h of the Ii:.ehave been sent, a utinst the insurgents who had entrenched themselves in the houses. Aftei an action r t an hour an J a ii s!f, in which the National Guards lost a c.ipt.'.iu and two drummers, and the 35th an oin. t r, the houses were taken. I iie exasperaiit i au me republicans lounu in inem was put to the edge of the sword. Mr. C iiilot died to day. It appears that the lenders of the republican party were opposed to these measures, and that this mad attempt has proceeded from t.he most obscure of that party. There was little commotion in the districts removed from the centre of the city. The J - . 1 . 1 . 1 - r - 1 ' J V . k V Jill, theatres of the Boulevards w ere filled, as u sual, and almost all the shops and coffee houses were open. The following additional particulars have reached us relative to the proceedings of thtlast night. In the seventh arondirement, the hole population, and especially the work men, beheld with indignation the assassina tion of a drummer and a grenadier of the 7th legion who were walking alone. An officer of the station his way with orders for the 12th legion, received a bullet which pierced his arm and entered his side. Ilis life, howev er, is not despaired of. The National Guards and the Line received each other with cries of Vive la Guard Nalionale! Vive la Lignei At the Point St. Eustache, the barricades were carried by a column composed of two baltallions of the 4th Legion of the National Guards, one of the 10:h, one of the 1st, and a battallion of the 54th of the Line. M. Chapius, Cclonel of the 4th Legion a most gallant otlicer was wounded in the arm by a bullet, and was replaaeJ in the command by General Allez. The lamps as a matter of course, w ere broken by the insurgents in a part of the Rues St. Dennis and St. Martin, as well as in several of the adjacent streets, but their absence was made up for by the inhabitants lighting up their hous. es. The minister of the interior remained almost constantly on horseback during the evening. He was with General Bugeand at the attack of a barricade; a young auditor of the counsel of state, an officer ol the National Guards, who was on horseback by his side, received a bullet in his collar bone. P. S. 1 o'clock. Ilis majestv is now re viewing his troops in the Place du Cariou el, preparative to riding througbj the quarters of Paris w hich have become the seat of dis order, as he did in June, 1S32. He was re ceived by the troops and National Guards, and the assembled crowd, with enthusiastic tlneis, and cries of Vive le Roil Vive Louis Philippe! The quarters where the distuibance took place are still occupied bj the military and municipal guard, and the vigilance ot Government is unabated. Cav alry, infantry, and masses of the citzensr trorj.3 remain under arms, ready to act at a M oment's notice should their etrvice, be aHain called lor. of which, however, we are l.apy to announce, no apprehension is ente r t air.e .

The injury .lone to the telegiuph is attributed to sonie fugitives v. ho tscaped fiom'the combat. The spirit of th peasantry id the neighborhood ol Lyons is unquestionably favorable to the inainlenaace ol oilier. On the scvond Jay of the riots at Lyon? (the IGlh instant) the Prefect published the !! Mowing proclamation: '4 Inhabitants of Lvons! Our endeavors to avoid a collision ve been in vain.

GASPARIN." Parii, April 14. The following despatch dated Lyons, Saturday 12th April, 1 1 in the evening, by telegraph, was received at Paris yesterday: Lyons is delivered.

A TTENTI ON !!'.!! Those young men Df AA Ualtimore, who are willing to pledge hfcj fortune and sacred henor, in support of their patiiotic chief magistrate, against the lawless course of a factious senate, are requested to assemble on Thursday evening next, the 15th inst. at half 7 o clock, at the Columbian Oardens. J he ob ject of the meeting will be explained in an ad dress Irom a tnend to the cause ot equal ngnt and universal suffrage. It is state din the Lvnchburg Virginian, that one of the Cherokee delegation of Indians, on his way to W ashington on a mission from the tribe, was arrested in Crawford county, Arkansas Territory, for debt, and required to give bail. He was discharged by two justices of the peace upon the ground that as the ambassador of a foreign power, he could not ne held to Dan. 1 his is a new variety of the Indian question and a curious one. Halt American. Crime. The Natchez Courier says, that the iail of that ceunty is blled wtth an un exampled number of criminals. Thirteen are charged with murder, hve ol whom are sen tenced to death. We have noticed, that w ithin the last year, there has been an alarm ing increase of crime in almost every section of the country This does not argue much for the propagation and growth of good morals. Memphis limes. Steamboat Accident. The postmaster at Columbus, Georgia, writes that the mail boat Star of the West, plying between New Or leans and Mobile, burst her boiler on the 1 8th ultimo, killed two persons, and injured oth ers. All is confusion, and no mail from New Orleans, says a bill from Mobile. A man complained yesterday at the Po lice office of the conduct of his wife, and stn ted that ever since Gen. Jackscn removed the deposites, "she was uprorious." He wished the magistrate to commit her, as she was quite an altered woman since the President adopted his ruinous course. Application re fused.

It would be impossible to give more than a faint outline of its desolating Inn . The scene is represented by th.e who had an nppoi tunity of witnessing it, as cue of j-nrpasMng- and inex pressible grandeur and sublimity. Every thing within its range, was laid prostrate; the largest trees were loin up by the roots and earned a con siderable d;tance; dwelling nr:d out houses were levelled with the earth, and iheir fragments scattered in every direction. The da had been cloudy, with occasional showers. About three o'clock the clouds assumed a black and lowering aspect: in a few minutes afier the whirlwind commenced its ravaget. A coriespondent w ho w itnessed its violence says: It was Jin the form of an inverted cone, and every cloud inear seemed to rush into the vortex. As it an proached, vm might see the limbs of the forest caieering thiough the darkened air. Its duration, at any point, was not mote than one or two minutes, lis general coiuse was from west to east: its width vaiied fioiu two hundred yards to halfa mile: and, from what we have already heard of its desttuctive march, its ex tent could not have been-lcss than seventy miles. The following detag will, we fear, present but a veiy imperfect sketch of its devastations. A gentleman writes us that the tornado " ap pears to have commenced in the county ol Lunenburg, near Hungry town, where almost all the heavy tia.ber was torn up by the roots; and where it pruned very fatal. Near this place, it seems that the poor who lived in log houses were the principal sufferers, several negroes and children being killed. Hence it pasted by Nottoway Courthouse, where the storm instead of abating, increased the public road being rendered impassable. From Nottoway Courthouse, or near that place the wind passing in a northeast direction, reached the plantation of Mr. Fitzgerald, w here great injury was done, but no lives lost. Near his residence was that of Mr. John Fitz, who suffered im mensely, having one negro killed, another's arm broke, and raiious others injured. Hence it pursued the same course to the house of Mr Justice, where great injury was likewise eus-i tamed, several persons severely injured, and the life of one despaired of. The next death was that of Mr. Joshua Hawks, an honest, upright citizen, who was literally crushed, his wife at the same time receiving injury so severe, as to leave but little hopes of recovery." The next place from whence we have any authentic particulars is Curtis', formerly Rees's, 00 Cox Road, where the storm appears to have been equally destructive. Mr. Curtis writes us, 44 that every house on II r. Herbert Reese1 plantation, except his dwelling house, is blown to atoms; Mr. Frank Reese, the overseer, and three negroes lost their lives, several other ne groes badly crippled, his wagon, which was nearly new, hurled into atoms, even the wheels broken in fragments, and the hubs blown two or three hundred yards. Mrs. Jincy Crowder had every house on her farm, dwelling house and all, torn to pieces. Old farmer Reams lost every house except his dwelling house. No lives lost at either ol tne two last named places. I unders and from a gentleman traveller that it passed on in the neighborhood of Col. Jeters's. Several lives lost in that neighborhood. I also hear that it has done considerable damage in the neighborhood of Thomas Jordon's, with the loss uf lives, &o. It appears that it passed from west to east near on the north side and nearly parallel with Cox' Road." We have no certain accounts of the ravages of the tornado after it passed the neighborhood of Curtis' until it reached the plantation of Wm . E. Bossean, about four mile from town. The scene at this place baffles every attempt at description. IS"r. Us desolating fury spated nothing. The dwelling house, kitchen, barn, &c. were entirely demolished, and their timbers, plank, &c. separated into fragments and scatter ed over the farm in every direction. Nothing left to mark the 6ite of the dwelling house hut a small portion of the brick foundation. The family escaped from the house, and attempted to take refuge in the garden, but were overtaken by the whirlwind, and knock ed dawn hv the ffying wreck of their former dwelling. Mr. Bs brother, a line youth of about fourteen years ol age, was killed: and Mr. B., his wife, and four other inmates of his family, were wounded, though not dangerouslyIn the negro quarters the injury wa9 equally severe one woman was killed, and six or eight others were wounded, one very dangerously. The loss sustained by Mr. B. is very great. The persons who have subsequently visited the place describe it as though the genius of destruction had made it his temporary abode. From Mr. Bosseau's it passed along near the southern boundary line of thi? town, with out doing much injury, until it reached the plantation of Mr. Augustine Burge, in Prince George. A fuend has given us the follow ing account of its devastations in that direc lion: ' At Mr. Augustine burge s it blew lown his sianie, ami almost all 1 1 is negro houses; fortunately no pcison was killed, hut several were sliu?itlv hurt. At Hall's Field the plantation of Wm. Baird, every house was blown down except the dwelling, a two stciied house near it, a kitchen or two, and the machine house. The wagoner, John, a 1 1" ai:hful seivaut, was killed in the. woods by the falling -f a tree; the two horses in the

At the consecration of the Catholic Church, this morning, a large audience being assembled, the gallery gave way and with all its incumbents, fell upon the mass of people below. A lad named Hardyear was instantly killed, and several others weie severe ly wounded; anion' whom were Mr. Hardyear of West Haven, a Miss Taylor, daughter of Mr. John Taylor, a daughter of Mr. Daniel Collins, and Mrs. Hinman, wife of Deacon Scovian llin man of this city. We have not time for further particulars. JS'ew Haven Herald. Srr.iKixu Fvidf.xce. The Philadelphia Intelligencer states that the following laughable incident occurred at the Court of Sessions in that city recently. A lawyer retained in a case of assault and batteiy, was cross examining a witucss in relation to the force of the blow truck. What kind of a blow was given, asked the lawyer. A blow of the common kind. Describe the blow. 1 am not good at description. Show me what kind of a blow it was. 1 can't. You must. 1 won't. The lawyer appealed to the court. The court told the witness that if the counsel insisted upon his showing what kind of e blow it was, he must do so. Do you insist upon it? asked the witness. The counsel re plied that he did. " Well then, since you compel me to show it, it was this kind of a blow!" at the same time suiting the action to the word, and knocking the astonished- dUciple of Coke pon Littleton, over. DEBT. A captain of a trading ship, being not long since in Constantinople, lodged in ihe house of a sea-taring lurk. One day he oberved to the Mussulman that in all his walks through the immense city of Constantinople and its suburbs, he bad not seen any thing like a jail for imprisonment of debtors. "Christian dog," said the disciple of Mahomet, "do you suppose that we ate so debased as to copy the Nazanoe policy r We take care to strip a debtor of all his property, so far as it will go to pay his just debts; but there we leave him; we instantly turn him loose to begin the world a gain. The believers in our prophet are above shutting up their fellow men k cages, in order to persecute, starve and torment them. We make a distinction between a man and a rat. have been in several of the Nazarine (Chris. tian) cities, and never looked at a debtor's pri son without horror as a place where man is degraded to the condition of a rat.1' Jin Ingenious Ronte. Perhaps, for ingenui ty, the following trick played by a Russian at Moscow, could not be surpassed in London or arts. A respectable looking man fell senseless in the streets from a fit, when a person in the crowd started foiward, exclaiming, 44 Ob, my master! my poor master? ' He now very coolly transferred the contents of the unfortunate sen tleman's pocket into his own, not forgetting his watch; and then with all the concern imagina ble, requested the persons near him to watch his poor master while he ran to procure an equipage to convey him home. On being observed to pass a coach stand without stopping, the cheat was detected, but it was too late, for he contrived to get clear off with his booty. The Locusts. In addition to other causes of trouble it appears that the seventeen year ocusts (Cicadue srplemdecim) are to pay their eriodical visit this year. It has been acer tained that the insect appears, periodically, once in seventeen years, and the spring of the jear. 1 hey were observed in this country at the stated intervals from 1849 to 1817. Apprehensions, are expressed that they wil commit great ravages, and it is as serted that more than once when they visited some parts ot JNew Lngland, they not only eat up all the grass in the fields, but attacked clothing and fences to appease their insatiable hunger. JJut the Lnchcopedia Jhncri carta informs us that they are in no way inju nous to vegetation, except Irom the damage done by the female in depositing heretics while the insect is itself the favorite food of various animals, nnJ in this wav may bo tur ned to good account. Ilc devour them eagerly, and some of the larger birds are food of them. The Indians consider them delicate when fried. In New Jersey thev have been cenverted into soap. In various parts of the world, from time immemorial, these insects have been usd as food for human beings. F-r this purpose in some countries they are caught in nets, and when a sufficient number is procured, Ihet are roasted over a slow lire, in an earthen vessel, till the wings and legs drop off" them: wlicn thus prepMed they re said to taste

Under any other circumstances, we should have given respectful attention to the invitation.

Mr. Editor, I am little surprised to find that an institution like that of West Point has escaped the vigilance of so enlightened a com munity: it is high time that our citizens should cast their eyes upon an institution up held by favoritism, to which none bjt a few distinguished for wealth and fame find admission. Where is the justice of such an institution? Where the necessity for it? How many of the Heroes of the Revolution were nourished by such an institution? Very few, if any. and did ever endure the fatigue i:d toil of war more than they? I believe not. Has it it then, come to this, that the people must contribute 130,000 per annum to support an institution that is baneful to our liberties, and where none but Senators' 60ns and Representatives' favorites train admi-sion? I trust not. AN OLD REPUBLICAN. The Prince of Akakibia When lie wa in England, out in St. James' Park, in the afternoon he observed one of his acquaintances driving in his phaeton, with four horses.
