Tbe street mains laid during the year amount to 187,2.1:5 feet, making the entire length nearly ."io.'i miles, being an incrouje over tbe number of feet laid in 1808 of over 700 per cent. ," which was owing to the great in crease in buildiDg and consequent demand for services and meters, showing a larger increase than any three years since tbe erec tion of tbe works. Tbe whole amount of lamps on the 1st in stant was 8217; 7078 are supplied with gas from these works, 4.58 from tbe Northern Liberties works, and 14 with coal oil.

THE IMPENDING FABI8 BOMBARDMENT IjOO GUNS IN 1-OSITION TH CB1MS IN fcPAI, ETC i-TC. Iandgn, Jan. 1. The N. Y. JlcraUl cor respondent at Vtrsa'lles gives the following account of the operations before Paris to the 27tb ult.: Christmas Eve was rendered memorable by one of the severest bombardments from the French forts which tbe German investing army has been called upon to sustain. The French opened a feu d'enfer about midnight. It soon ceased, and the remainder of the night was undisturbed. Christmas day was quiet till 2 in the afternoon, when the French forts suddenly fired and then relapsed into silence. On the part of the Germans there was no reply. The investing army made no sign which could indicate where the heavy guns are. The German siege guns are in position aDd prepared to attack the forts. The guns of Fort Mont Valerien have thrown solid shot into the bank of the Seine below the terrace of St. Germain, west of the fort, and a distance of over six miles. Everything is in readiness for the bombardment of Paris on the most terrifio scale. All the German batteries are complete, guns mounted, and ammunition sufficient. The Irench ironclad Gnyenne has been ordered to leave Queenstown. A Prussian corvette is cruising off Dungarven, a little west of Queenstown. Mezieres has been occupied by the Ger mans. The French have evacuated other advanced posts northeast of Paris sinco the reduction- of Fort Avon, and the forts around Paris are silent. The twentieth Prussian division repulsed a sararior French force in the rear of Ven dome, capturing some guns. In the engage ment Bear Arras. 175 French iufantry were captured. Troops are concentrating in southwestern Rossia. The report that commissioners were to be Bent to tbe United States to settle the dis pute about the fisheries is untrue. The Prussian Government explains the sinking of the British ships in the Seine by stating that they were fired at to bring them to. The navigation of the Thames is obstructed by ice. The Sultan and Khedive are again at log geibeads. The ex-Empress Eugenie gave a New Year's reception to tbe French exiles. Among the guests were Tersigny, the Marquis La Vallette, Rouher, and many other distinguished men of the Empire. Cardwell, Minister of War, in a speech at Oxford to-doy, eulogized M Bright for his services to the country, and refuted the re ports of the inefficiency of the army and con trasted the armaments of England, Prussia, end the United Slates. He declared that the British Government was resolved to transmit to its successors an unrivalled inheritance, and to uphold the honor of England and the Queen. London, Jan. 2 (Special to the N. Y. Wo)iJ.) Bismarck writes to Odo Russell that Prussia is" justified, under the law of nations, in sinking English ships. Although the payment offered has been refused, be cause unaccompanied by an apology, he renews a tender of payment. Additional artillery is going to Taris, and the number of siege guns, of all calibres, now in front of Paris is 1500. Tbe constituents of Gladstone have signed a petition asking him to resign, because his policy has reduced them to pauperism. Tbe government at Bordeaux has desig nated Jules Favre to represent France at the conference. A correspondent at Berlin says the Court of Berlin believe that Paris will soon capitu late. There is a significant interchange of cour tesies continually between Berlin and Wil belmshohe, and the Emperor is confident of bis restoration. The spirits of the Empress are depressed, and sho spends most of her time in weeping and praying for the return of peace. BoisnEArx, Jan. 2. GaruLotla, in his ad dress yesterday at the Prefecture, Baid the Government was bound to the defense of the country, but it was mortal. We must not confound the republic with persons who had been forced by events to assume power. These men, when the invasion had been re pelled, would resign and submit their actions to the judgment of the nation. The largest liberty would be allowed to an expression of opinion. All speech must be as free as thought: but language engendering actions hostile to the Government would be repressed with energy. The weather is very cold and the rivers are frozen. Tie troops suffer terribly, and many French and Prussian soldiers have been frozen to death. Accounts from the invaded districts show the most inhuman atrocities committed by the enemy without provocation. Bisancon, Jan. 1. The eneisiy has evacu ated the town of Gray after a severe combat with the f rancs-tireurs, under Colonel Borray. The Prussian losses were heavy and the French small. Qi fekstown, Jan. 2. Arrived, steamship City of London, from New York. The steamship Acadia arrived at London, December '6 1. The evacuation of the plateau before Mont Avron by the French causes much depression in Paris. A meeting of the Mayora of Paris was help last week to censure the Govern ment for its inactivity, but it proved a failure. It is reported that the palace of Malmaison was set on fire by the guns of Mont Valerien, andjwas totally destroyed. Vienna, Jan. 2. Field Marshal Moering, of the Austrian army, is dead. Madrid, Dec. ol. The Cortes have adopted a resolution in honor of the memory of Prim, and declare that the deceased deserved well of his country, and places bis family under the protection of the nation. The Cortes have also passed a vote of confidence in the Government. Madrid, Dec. 31. (Special to the N. Y. Ihridd.) Tbe death of Prim has intensified the excitement in this city. Inflammation set in and the amputation of his arm was found necessary, though it did not save his life. He retained consciousness to the last, aEd when made aware of the approach of death, bade adieu to his friends and, it is said, expressed mugh anxiety for the safety of the KiDg. Great apprehension of aa out break of conspirators exists, but the Govern ment is making efforts to allay the excite ment. Darmstadt, Jan. 2. Prince Louis of Hesse telegraphs to the Government here, that two regiments of Hessians, with a battery, fought on Saturday with a superior force of the enemy southeast of Orleans. The Germans lost fifty men. Rome, Jan. 1. King Victor Emanuel left this city to-day amid enthusiastic demonstra tions. Before his departure he made a do tation of 200,000f. for charitable purposes end begged the municipality to devote to a similar object the moneys intended to defray the expenses of the festivities on the occasion ol his visit.
