Every day the banditti of Versailles daughter or shoot our prisoners, and every hour we learn that another murder has been com mltted. Those who are guilty of such crimes, you know them; they are the gendarmes of the Empire, the royalists of Charette and Catheli neau, who are marching on Paris and shouting "Vive le Hoi!" and with a white flag at their head. The government of Versailles is acting against the laws of warfare and humanity, and we shall be compelled to make reprisals should they continue to disregard the usual conditions of warfare between civilized peoples. If our enemies murder a single one of our soldiers, we shall reply by ordering the execution of an equal number, or doable the number, of prisoners. The people, even in its anger, detests bloodshed, as it detests civil war; but It is its duty to protect itself against the savage attempts of its enemies, and, what ever it may cost, it shall be "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." The Commune of Paris. Citizens The Commune of Paris entertains no doubts of victory. Vigorous resolutions have been taken, aDd the departments wnich were momentarily disorganized by defections and treason have been restored. The hours have been usefully employed for achieving your speedy triumph, and the Commune relies upon you, as you may rely upon it. There will soon remain nothing to the Boyaltetsof Versailles bat the shame of their crimes. With you will rest the eternal honor of having saved France and the republic. National Guards the Commune congratulates you, and declares you have de served well of your country. Citizens The monarchists sitting atVersailles do not make war against you like civilized men; they wage a war of savages. Charette's Ven teans and Pietri's agents shoot their prisoners, murder their wounded, and Are upon the ambu lances. Twelve times, wretches who dishonor the nnlform of the line have reversed their . muskets, and traitorously fired upon the two confiding and brave men who approached them. Citizens These treasons and atrocities will not give the victory to the eternal enemies of our rights. For this we have a pledge in the energy, courage, aud devotion to the republic of the National Guard. Its heroism and con stancy have been admirable; its artillerymen have directed the fire of their guns with remark able accuracy and precision, and their fire has several times silenced that of the enemy, who left a mitrailleuse in our hands. Amadcui' Maiden Speech. The Spanish Cortes was opened on the 2d inst. by the President, Calatrava. A great crowd a! onontstfiro amAnror vrhnm utafa rr nn loliaa was present in the galleries. The King arrived at 2 30 P. M., accompanied by the Ministers, and was received with loud cheers. His Ma jesty read the speech from the throne in a firm voice, lie said: The first time I was in the presence of the repre sentatives of the country to take the oath of the Constitution it was Impossible for me to express my pratlturtfi to nn. I do so to-dav. I wish to nlac ' the government la the most cordial relations of mutual good win ana inenasnip witn tne represen natives of the people. This becomes necessary in 1 order to enable us to give our full attention to the development or me interior strength or tne country, 1 hope for the prompt pacification of Cuba, and I hope that the relations with the Pope will be re snnied in a friendly manner. The Government will propose improvements necessary for good adminis tration, and for the moral and material development of the country, special attention being paid to ilnan clal questions. In drawing up the budgets, econo mies and reforms, especially as regards the service of the public debt, will be effected. We shall force an opportunity for your patriotism to remove the difficulties which are surrounding the management of our finances, and to dissipate the apprehen sions of the future. In coming to Spain I iutended to identify on the same soil the Interests of the rtaim which has been lntiusted to me with that which is dearest to me In the world, my wife and eon. Theniltsion entrusted to me la difficult but glorious, perhaps beyond my strength, but not above my will, and, with the nelp of God, I hope to suc ceed. God knows my Intention, and with the co operation of the Cortes and all good men, which will not fall me, I hope that my efforts will be crowned with the reward of achieving the happi ness ui uie epauiBu pnupio.

The insurgents took flight, leaving a certain number of dead, wounded, and prisoners lu our nanus. The spontaneous elan of the troops having hastened this result, our leases were aaite unimportant. The ex asperation of our soldiers was extremely great, par ticularly against tne deserters who were recognized. At4 o'clock the troops re-entered their barracks, after having rendered to the cause of order a service which t rance win never forget. General Vlnoy has not for one moment left his command. The wretches whom France Is forced to Aitnbat have committed a new crime. The Kunreon nJJhlef of the army, M.

Through the kindness of a friend who is on 1 ( general staff of the army, I have been able ithln the last lew hours to visit au tne camps round Versailles, and have pretty well ascer- a ned the exact strength, position, and future f jsit ox tne forces wnicn aeiena luis Historical I ft n and the National Assembly of France f ine are, then, at Versailles, Vlroflay, and J alciy.eitht dlvUlons of Infantry, each Ui- ith numbering on o average fjQOO men, but being able, as corps and rterulU ar rive, tf being Increased to 16,000 men, without increasing the cdrt ti the staff. Besides these there are three divisions of cavalry, each divi sion being about 1000 strong, but capable of being Increased, in the sane manner as the Infantry, to 4000 each. Of artillery there are ten batteries, each consisting of ten field pieces, and four batteries of mitrailleuses. To feed, as it were, this army with men, fonr depots have bten organized at Charlevllle-Mezleres, Doual, Besancon, and Rennes. All the returned prisoners from Germany are being directed to these different depots, where they will he clad, armed, and formed into regiments officers and soldiers who have served together being kept together as much as possible. Ongoing round the camps i was agreeably surprised to find bow much the discipline of the army has increased, and what a visible improvement there is in the appearance of the men. The officers at all the outposts are very much annoyed at an order that has been issued, by which they are directed not to attack any parties ot the National Guards of Paris they mav fall in with M. Thiers' policy being evidently to draw ont the Insurgents from Paris, and get them to attack Versailles. The opinion ox tr.a oincers is, that their men would fight well and loyally in the open field, but there are several corps with which it would be madness to enter Paris. Imlller's Escape from Prison, Lieutenant Lnllier, who was a leading mem ber of the Commune Committee, escaped from the prison to which he was consigned by his colleagues, and has set up to be a little republic in himself, as appears by the following letter published in the Juot d'Ordre: mt dear kochefort: iou Know tne infa mous machinations of which I have been the victim. Arrested without avowed motive by the Central committee, l was thrown into a lock-up of the Prefecture of Police and kept there au secret at a time when Fans bad the greatest need, of men of action understanding military business. The Prefecture of Police is trans formed into a State prison, and the most rigor ous precautions are taken against those incar cerated in it. Nevertheless, followed by my secretary, I was able to quietly Issue from my cell and to pass through two courts guarded each by a dozen men. As I went out three doors were thrown open at my demand and the soldiers keeping them presented arms to me. At tne present writing i am surrounded by you resolute men, and I carry three loaded revolvers in my pockets. l was for a long time so simple as to go about unarmed and unaccompanied by friends. But I am now resolved to break the head of whoever may come to arrest me. I beg also to inform you that I never hide myself, and that I walk openly and unmolested on the boulevards. I fraternally shake both your hands. Your de voted friend, C. Ldllier. How Gustave Flourens Died. Versailles Correspondence oi the London Tinea, Aprils. Many of the insurgents changed their clothes when they found that their retreat had been cut on. Among the rest the aide-de-camp of Gus- tave xiourens, one of their chiefs, did so. In the afternoon, about 4 o'clock, the gendarmes were searching the village ot Chatou, when a shot came from the window of an auberge kept by a man named Ducoq. The gendarmes entered the bouse, and wnen tney reached the first floor one of them received a bullet in the shoulder at the moment when he was entering one of the rooms. Ills captain, M. Desmaret, rushed into the room, found the man who had fired the shot with a revolver in his band, and Instautly cut him down with his sabre. This man was no other than Flourens. His aide-de-camp, an Italian named Cyprlanl, was wounded by a sabre cut, and made prisoner. He had assumed civil attire, but Flourens himself was in mllitarr uniform. His dead body now lies at the Am phitheatre Hospital In this town. DISASTER ON THE ERIE RAILWAY. Collision of Trains Two Locomotives and Seven Cars Wrecked Two Persona Injured.

The Baltimore American of yesterday has the following upon the shoemakers' troubles in that city: On Saturday afternoon last a meeting: of the Shoe and Leather Board of Trade was held lor the purpose of discussing the causes which have led to ihe rupture between the boot and shoe manufacturers ana their workmen, ihe meet ing was a large one, and was called to order by Mr. Smith, President of the association. Mr. fcrullh said that it appears the female operatives want to exact unfair, unreasonable, and uniust obligations irom tne manufacturers. The trouble is not a question of wages, the ladies saying that they are not oppressed in that quar ter, but they exact of the manufacturers that they shall employ only those females whom the (society of the Daughters oi Crispin may select. This they claim as protection, but. said Mr, Smith, at the same time they are protecting tnemseives tney are making unequal exactions upon others. They take the prerogative of saying wno snail do empioyea a right which, Mr. Smith thought, belonged to the employer. Mr. Smith alluded to the fact that, as a general thing, female labor is but poorly paid, and knew of no branch so bad In that respect as the cloth ing trade. He regarded the prices paid for making clothing as being a aisgrace to ha manlty, and he could not understand how men could call themselves Christians who woald p.ftmTtel a. wnmftn trh m-Iva iter full HmA In maL-intr clothing, and receive at the end of the week 3 to f 4, which sum, as Mr. Smith contended, was about the average amount of wages paid to sewing women who work upon coats and pants. He regarded the filling department of the boot ana shoe business as being the most re muneratlve employment for females that can be obtained in the city. They average 4il2, and many earn as high as $ 25 per week. The bosses o uow say mat iney are receiving too mnca money, aud the speaker advocated the paying of fcuch wages. The men average $320 ner waek. and a good workman can earn $30 per week; and from the fact that the females receive snch good pay other help from the cloak-making and other departments flocked to the shoe f&cLnrlAn for work. This Influx, said Mr. 8mlth, caused tne uauguters oi ou Crispin to revolt, and they exuressed their determination not trfc ftllnur anir girl or woman to come into the works, but to keep the work for the few that had it: and thev say to the manufacturers, "If you are not satis fied with our action,we will depart and no longer labor for you." Mr. Smith cald the action of the strikers u vv wuwi auvvi vib t wa vv vinj null TV ttej of such importance that the Shoe and Leather Board of Trade should take into consideration a measure looking to an adjustment of the diffi culty. He said that it was in the reach ot the manufacturers to bring in Chinese labor, but ha was not prepared for that movement unless the present difficulty cannot be settled. He believed the true policy of the manufacturers would b to resist tie unfair action of the strikers, for. , said he, if they yield now, to-morrow a tar more t oppressive measure may be imposed. I Ut, fctero said that Uie fitting department I very remunerative, and by the organization of tne James society members wouia loroia tne employer to engage any female that was not connected with the society; and, said Mr. Smith, if we should encounter a scarcity of hands at any time, we would be unable to fill oar orders. The 8t. Crispins are now in such a condition that they take but few into its ranks, ihe men educate their sons to the trade, but the young ladies have no daughters, and when the ladies marry the supply decreases and the employer is denied the right to fill up his shop with help ontslde of the Crispin order. Mr. Smith then stated that on Saturday and Friday a lady unacquainted heretofore with the business had been at work in the shop, and in that time had earned f.i, ana said that she would be happy If she conld earn Co each week. Relative to the objects of the men belonging to the Crispin order, Mr. Stern said their object in getting the ladles to strike is that they may control tne workings oi tne snops. Heretofore the ladies, not being members ot the order, did not stop work, and the supply of uppers was kept up and bat little difficulty ensued from strike hy the men. Mr. Stern closed his re marks with: The manufacturers say the issue is, who are to manage the shops, those who control the capital or those who are employed ana paia tor tneir labor Mr. Crane offered a resolution to the effect that the recent strike of the operatives is sub versive of the trade in the city, and In that view meets the condemnation of the Shoe and Leather Board of Trade. The resolution was adopted, after which the meeting adjourned. MEETING OF THE CRISPINS. The members of St. Crispin, male and female. held two meetings on Saturday at Metropolitan Hall, on Baltimore street, opposite Post Office avenue, and resolved to resist the action of the manufacturers to the bitter end. On Friday night and Saturday upwards of one hundred Crispins quilted this city lor the JNew bagiana States, they having been advised by their breth ren there that work in abundance in Boston and elsewhere awaited them. It is estimated that it requires 13,000 per week to sustain the Cris pins in Baltimore. Each member receives f 8 per week, and an additional dollar lor each oi Lis children. Should the money in the Balti more treasury become exhausted, the exchequer will be replenished by contributions from the order in other citieff and the workmen assert that they can resist the demands of their em ployers for months, should such a coarse become necessary. A COSTLY FUSERAL. Trouble Over an Undertakers' Bill. Margaret Killoran died on the 4th of October. 1809, her funeral being conducted by under takers who claim that before her death she gave directions to have her buried regardless of ex pense and in a manner that would outdo any thing of the kind ever seen in New York. In following these Instructions they allege that a cost oi nsKJinvii. was incurrea, wnica tne sole executor, the defendant, refused to pay, on the ground that three hundred dollars would be a very fair sum for the funeral expenses; a suit was brought to recover tne wnole amount, which came up to-day before Judge Sutherland, In the supreme oourt Ulreuit. on tus crosa-exaualmv Hon Mr. iherry gave aversion of bis interview with deceased in reference to the funeral, In which she told him she earned her money by hard work and would spend it as she pleased. ins testimony encitea mucn laugnter in court by the manner in which it was given.

Answer She told me that she bad sent for me to make ar rangements for the funeral: that she could not depend on any 01 her own family to carrv them out after her death; she wanted it arranged and carried out according to her own wishes: that -pne was leavisg enangn behind for her rela tives, fine saia, "iou buried my son and hus band, and I am not a bit afraid but what vou will carry out any own wishes." She then told me to get ner a square-ount coma witn plenty 01 room in it (laughter), a fiat lrame on top, and upon this frame a round lid te be put on with hinges and locks; in this round lid was to come an oval French plate glass, aud over this glass another round lid to cover it, and to be fitted In with locks and hinges: I told her this French plate giass was a imng impossible, 1 mougnt, to be got ready, or if I could get it ready, the whole thing would be of no beuefit. I asked her if she would have it flat: she said "no." she wanted this aflair all round, no matter what it cost or wnat time it toog; she would not be buried In anything else. (Laughter.) She said also that if she died before this cotliu was ready they would have to keep her until it was read v. and the expression she used was to have It trimmed IN SPLENDID STTLB inside, and have such a coffin got up as was never seen in JNew xorK before, and probably never would be again, and witness added. "God knows I think she got it." (Great laughter.) She said many times to spate no expense what ever; that every cent she made was her own. I made the remark that her children would onnoaa the Idea. She said they dare not do it. "VVbat right have they to oppose?" she said; "they are limply to see that my wishes are carried ont; go to work and carry them out" She was to be put into the leaden casket, and that was to be soldered. In regard to her funeral robe, she told me that she had four ladies who came uu there to see her and talk with her about her idea of a habit, and that they lulled to understana ner, tuey were such stapid things. She atked me it I could get some women to make this habit according t j her Idea; I said I could; that I knew a lady lu this city that was competent to take her order. She atked me .o get her.
