A ten feet , corridor leads right and left to Iwo wings extending at right angles fromthe rear of the front building, having:a front of two hundred and eighty feet,' and running 'back two hundred and four feet :in depth; and a' width of forty-seven feet. - These wings contain the prison Cells, which are in two tiers, isolated from the external walls. The second tier, hair ~ an iron balcony surrounding it, approached by an Iron stair way: Adjoining these cells are the lavatories, clothing rodins and turnkey's office. There are in all seventy-two cells ; twenty tight of them are double; and designeti.to ac commodate each two prisoners; notwithstand ing they are but twelve feet deep and eight feet wide. The remaining forty-four cells are single, and intended for the separate confine ment of convicted prisoners. These are but sizfeet wide and eight feet deep. The sides, floor and ceiling are composed of Six,flag-stones, which form a complete stone ''bole, the only opening to which, for the admis-, sion of light, or air, or the heat from the inv..' mace, which is first discharged into the corrl-. dor, is through the cell door, opening upon the z :Surrounding passa,g,e-way. • The only light that can ever! possibly pene-. trate the interior of these cells must come from the narrow-barred windows in the exterior wall the prison, across thei wide corridor which intervenes between these windows and the cell doors. From personal observation I feel warranted chi- saying that in many of these - cells, if not in all a beam of sunshine will never enter. They - are scarcely large enough to contain a bed and r,abool for the accommodation• of the occupant, and there is certainly not space enough for —them to pursue any kind of employment; and .if there was, the cell is so dark that it would be, impossible for them to do it. Nor will they be able to read or improve themselves by study, unless the Commissioners furnish them with , artificial light, which, if done at all, will be to '`a; very limited extent. 1 understand that it is the Intention of the authorities of the county to confine in this jail prisoners who are sentenced for a term of Sears, such as are now sent to the State peni tentiaries. Under the existing laws of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania convicts are sentenced to separate confinement, and no human being can be so confuted in one of the small 'cells of _ the new jail of Luzerne county, ihr any great • length's:A time, without the loss of health or ;perhaps life. The cell, when the doors are closed, is a dungeon, the only opening into it being a small bole in the wall near the floor, connecting with a Ventilating flue, which again connects with a system of forced ventilation, arranged in the centre of the building, which is located in the court-yard or hollow square formed by the cell wings and front and rear walls. Not a ray of light can enter these gloomy wells except through the doorway. Well may the unfortunate prisoner who is doomed to confinement in one of these, nar row, daily, and dark cells, exclaim with the prisoner of Chinon— '" I only stired in this black spot; I only lived—l only drew The accursed breath of dungeon-dew; The last—the sole—the dearest link • Between me and the eternal brink, , Which bound me to my failing race, Was broken in this fatal place." The refmmation of the convict is the great object sought to be obtained by the Pennsylva nia systein of prison discipline ; but in a place like this reformation will be almost impossible. The building is certainly calculated only for punishment, and where that is the highest aim, the criminal, made worse by his confinement, is let loose upon society at the expiration of his term of imprisonment, to live again a life of lawlessness, to be again a terror to our citizens, and to be eventually returned to his prison tell. We have every reason to believe that the citizens of Luzerne possess as great a share of the milk of huinan kindness as those of any other county -in the State; and believing this, we are disposed•to think that they will never permit human beings, though they be eon-. victed felons, to be confined in the cells now being constructed in this new county jail. As far as this building is coneerned•a change in the present laws must be made in order that there may be a change of discipline to accommodate things to the Peculiar construc tion of this prison. • If the authorities design giving the convicts employment, they must erect additional huild ings for workshops, where it will be necessary 1 to congregate them—a system which has been tried iu some of the States and admitted to be a failure, and one that was abandoned by the State of Pennsylvania many years ago. The plan of these cells is not an original one with - the Commissioners of Luzerne county. The '• den" known as the Erie County Jail, one of the filthiest and worse governed prisons I ever entered, is built upon the plan adopted by the authorities of .Luzerne county. These Commissioners say that " before deciding upon a plan they visited prisons in this and adjoining States, "and judging from what I have seen they most approved of what they saw at Erie." When I visited that jail I found the prisoners, who were boys of tender age and men well advanced in life,—runaway apprentices, burg lars, horse-thieves and other desperate characters—collected around tables in the cor ridor, engaged in playing cards, and causing the . dismal walls of this black hole to resound • with their horrible oaths and imprecations. I,,asked the jailor why these prisoners 'were perinitted to congregate, and , especially why -- liatsehey4 - inererehiliiren, wenrpertniriert associate with the-heavily-ironed and desper ate men that were sitting at the card-table. The answer was: "We have no other way of disposing of them." Again I asked: "Why not confine them in their cells separately, as ,the law,requires ?" I was told that the cells were not fit to confine any one ifs, not even the worst of criminals; ,they could only be used for sleeping-rooms. I was then kindly. invited to walk into one of them. I did so, and was entirely satisfied that, no human being could live in close confinement in one of these cells. No light, no air—except that taken from the surrounding corridor—not a gleam of sun light could possibly enter, and to confine a prisoner there would be certain death; hence the necessity of permitting them to congregate in the corridor. I left this place of horrors, and obtained an interview with the Commis sioners of the county; conversed with them on the condition of their jail, and while they admitted that affairs there were in the worst possible condition, they assured me that this state of affairs would not continue 'long; that the jail was old, and not properly constructed; a new one would probably be built, and then a better state of things would be brought about. With this assurance I left the city of Erie, hoping and trusting that this ancient, badly arranged and filthy jail, the last of its kind in Pennsylvania,--wouhl soon disappear, and -be known only as a thing that once had an exert enee. But judge of my surprise, upon visiting the new Luzerne County Prison, I at once recognized the cells of the Erie County Jail,— not dirty, to he sure, but possessing in an eminent degree all the objectionable features of that ancient edifice, which, years ago, was a disgrace to the county. - The architectural beauty of the new Prison at %Vilkesbarre is not . excelled by any other building in that, part of the State. The work _ nanship reflects the highest credit upon the constructor. The cost of the entire structure, when completed, will be $300,000. The citizens of the county will have cause to regret, ere many years elapse; that a pro Per plan was not adopted, and will not rest satisfied until a • radical change shall have been made in the in terior arrangement. In examining the plan of•this jail any one at all familiar with the discipline of our prisons will be irresistibly drawn to the conclusion that the projectors never intended to regard, 10 AN yf t l 4 rstate wade for the government of our jails and penitentiaries, and that there' has been a studied attempt to so construct the cells that the laws in this respect should not be enfOrced'hi them. , The prison of Lehigh county, located at Al- • lentown, to whicli,ln my report to your cellency in IStlBt I briefly alluded as being in peocesS of erection, was so far completed on; the 14th 'day of April last as to permit the, re- Moval of the inmatea . of the old prison to the More secure and comfortable cells of the new One. This building was designed, by and erected under the supervision of G. A. Aschinich, Esq., architect and•civil engineer, and a resident of Allentown., It stands on an eminence . front ing and overlooking the beautiful Valley of the Lehigh. The lot has a frontage of two hundred and thirty feet by a depth of four hundred and twenty feet. • The building is of the castellated style of architecture, two 'stories high, with . a tower rising from the centre of the front to th& dieight of one hundred feet ; this tower con= tains the ventilating shaft, which is connected, with a system of forced ventilation. • The front of the building, exclusive' of: the' SPace hielosed by the outside walls, is sixty. 7 four, feet, the rear or back part fifty-four feet; the sides,. or depth, of , the ',building; are one hundred and seventy-eight feet.: The yard, or safety wall, which incloses the whole Structure, has a rear front of one htur~ dred and thirty-eight feet; with side walls of two hundred and six feet in length and twenty one feet in height. On the right of the entrance to the main building are the inspector's and warden's offices, the latter being lighted by means of a window, which commands a full view of the prison yard,which will enable the warden,when in his office, to overlook the prisoners that may be pegnitted to take exercise in the yard. On the left of the entrance are rooms for the accommodation of the Sheriff and his family, the rear room of which has also a Window commanding a view of the yard,where the prisoners can be seen and their movements known to the keepers. In, the rear of these rooms; and separated from them by a passage; so that the • main block 'of cells can only be reached by one door, is the kitchen, where the food is prepared for the prisoners. On the op posite side are two large rooms, one :of which is for the detention , or examination of witnesses; the other for the ' purposes 'of storage. Beyond these rooms extend the cells, there being ten on each side of the corridor, and two stories in height; making in all forty. The second tier , of cells is reached by an iron stair way, whichtaii be at any time cut off by means of a drawbridge, which is attached to it. On the second floor, over the kitchen, and also on the opposite, side of the building, are• rooms for a male and female infirmary, or hos pital; also, a batlfLroom„ and a store-room for material used in the manufacturing depart went of the institution. As the cells are in tended for workshops for ,the prisoners con fined in them, they . are made large, light, and airy; being eight feet wide, fifteen feet long, and the ceilings ten feet high. They are lighted with well secured windows, and are furnished with registers and ventilators, water-closets and hydrants, and other conveniences necessary to the health of the inmates. In the basement are six large furnaces, de signed to warm the entire building and to as sist in the ventilation of the cells. -There is also in the basement a bakery and laundry, in tended for the use of the institution. The whole building is ventilated by means of flues, which run through the walls and corn inwaicate with a cylindrical chamber in the centre of the tower, through which all the foul air generated in the prison can readily. escape. On making close inspection of this. prison, I find the architect has paid strict attention to all the details, so important and necessary in a' penal house,and which are apt to be overlooked both by commissioners and, architects; who are too often satisfied with a grand and imposing exterior, without looking to or seeming to care for the interior arrangements. To some of the leading and prominent features ofthis prison 1 desire to call the attention of your Excellency, as I considerthem worthy of especial notice ;.. these are : First—That the proper discipline can be maintained with a comparatively small force of attendants and with the utmost degree of safety ,to the attending keepers. The building is so , arranged and provided With flank lights and other facilities fur seeing the inmatcs, that all the prison proper, the corridor as well as the outside walls of the cell wing and the yard, can be seen by a watchful eye from the rear rooms of the Warden's apartments and also from the main hall. This prison greatly excels in this particular point, which is certainly a very impOrtant 'one. Second—The sewerage is so arranged that each and every pipe can be taken out without cutting the walls or disturbing the masonry, and ready accessi by reason of the peculiar ar rangement of the pipes, is always had to the traps, and in case of any breaks, leaks or stop ages. .And by the system of traps employed here there can be no speaking communication between the prisoners by means of the pipes when they are being flushed out. Third—From the peculiar construction of, the cell windows, together with their location, al though they are no larger than those of other prisons; they admit one-third mere light than those ordinarily used in prison construction. Fourth,—The cells, by having heavy iron plates walled in beneath the plank-flooring, are rendered doubly secure—a very necessary pre; caution, as quarrying through the floor into the -basement -the- prison seems -to have been the favorite mode of escaping from the county jails of Pennsylvania. The precaution here adopted Will entirely prevent this in future. The work on this building was 'commenced in the Spring of ISG7. Two years from the time that the ground was first broken, prisoners from the old jail were removed to the now one, and employed in many ways in the finishing of the interior of the building. The whole structure, including the grading, terracing, and laying-out of grounds which surround the walls, will be finished early in the corning year. The entire cost of this properly-designed and well-built prison will, I am informed, be less than two hundred thousand dollars. Surely a trifling sum, when the great advantages to be gained by the expenditure are taken, into consideration. The citizens of Lehigh county, when they come to realize the benefits they will be sure to reap from the erection of this jail, will never regret the outlay necessary to secure a building so well appointed and so ad mirably arranged for the detention, and, it is to be hoped, reformation of their criminals. r The erection of a building of the character of the one here described is,..for an iulakid county, one of considerable magnitude, and re flects the highest credit upon the liberality and intelligence of its citizens, and will be an en during monument to the professional skill: of the architect, C. A. Aschbaeh, Esq., who de signed the work and superintended its con struction. In reading the foregoing account of the Lehigh County Prison, many who, for - years past, have labored to secure for Pennsylvania.a system of prison discipline calculated to reform as well as punish offenders. against the laws, will be gratified to learn that their efforts have not been entirely fruitless--that some of the counties of the State are erecting prisons with a view to enforcing the dlicipline established by law. Early in the year 18(18 the Commissioners of Northampton county employed the celebrated prison architect, Edward Ilaviland, Esq., to plan and supervise the erection of a prison for that county. This beautiful structure stands upon ele vated ground, near the Court House, in the town of Easton. The front'elevation is grand and imposing, and is exteeded in beauty by no 'other building in the cotlnty. '„ pr4im Orep general •p 1413 from THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1870. any ether in our State, inasmuch that the cell corridor Tuns parallel with the front, and at right angles with the entrance passage. •,.Thh. cells. are fifty-two. in number,, and, are, fifteen feet long by eight.in width, with a 'cell lug ,eleVen feet high. •They are well lighted and thoroughly ventilated, and each one is proVided with a hydrant and Water-elOset. No expense or labor has' been - spared upon the sewerage.. The main" Sewer discharges in the, Delaware river at tiAlstm. l Co of two thou sand feet from the building.; ', • Northampton being a county of large and in- , creasing population, this prison- Ina designed with special reference to introducing and car rying out the penitentiary. systeni of discipline, as done at Reading, Lancaster, Pottsville and other counties where the authorities insist upon a due observance of the law. The cells are large wOrkshops.and will Corn .fortably accommodate, in each, a prisoner and his insplernents of -trade..' 'Convenient to the cells are manufacturing store-rooms, infirmary and bath-rooms. In the front • there are accommodations of the most ample kind for the Warden aad other of of the prisen. The ventilation of the cell-wing is the most thorough yet , introduced in prison build ings, in consequence of both ends being detached, and having a ventilating shaft. and tower in the middle of the block, with. ,fines leading from each cell into it, . • This great adVantage in the ventilation is sehured by the cell-wing being parallel with the front building. The entire structure is founded upon a solid rock ; the stone for the building (except the sand-stone front) was all taken out of the Cellar excavation, and from all appearances the:work will be as enduring as time. This edifice is unique in its arrangements, and has been approved and greatly admired by experts who have visited it, and may be ranked as the best jail.in the country. Although the work was commenced in the spring of last year, it is now so nearly com pleted that, were it prudent, it might be occu pied in a few weeks. Now that the citizens of Northampton have a prison where it will be possible to enforce discipline, they should at once ask the Legis lature to enact a law authorizing them to elect a Board of Prison Inspectors, and to appoint a Warden to govern and manage their convicts. Should they do so, with the facilities now af forded them, they may have one of the best conducted prisons in the State. Lithe month of July, 1887, I visited the Old jail of Blair county, situated at Hollidaysburg, and foundit in a very dilapidated condition, and pronounced it, in my report to your Ex celleney, an unfit and unsafe place for the con 'finement of offenders against the laws, and where no kind of discipline or order could be maintained. The prisoners had, a short time previous to my visit, attempted to escape by burning the building. The tire, when discovered, had made considerable progress, and but for its timely discovery would have destroyed the prison and burned to death the family of the Sheriff, who were lodging near where the fire was started. Since that visit a new prison was projected, and Edward Haviland, Esq., architect, was en gaged by the commissioners to plan and ,erect the building. The' structure is well located in the town of Hollidaysburg, and is calculated for the separate confinement.of twenty-eight prisoners. In my statementof last year I gave a detailed descrip tion of the plan adopted, which, in the con stiuction' has been adhered to. It will be ready for the reception of prisoners early in the coming summer. Mr. Haviland is also erecting a prison in Totter county. This building, though the smallest, is as, complete in all its appointments ,as any in the State ; and in ••order to render it so, the architect has evidently bestowed upon it considerable study. The accommodations for the Sheriff and his family are . convenient. The number of cells at present is but eight, and the plan is so arranged that additional cells can be attached, when the necessities' of the county demand it, without .affecting the 'completeness of the design. Each cell is eight feet wide and fifteen feet long, entirely fire proof, and fitted up with hydrant and water closets, and will be as thoroughly heated and ventilated as the cells of any of the larger prisons recently erected. • The enlightened Commissioners Of this county have provided for the health and clean liness of the prisoners by erecting a bath house, with a plentiful supply of hot and cold water, and near it an Inlirmary,or Hospital for the treatment of sick inmates. The whole cost of this complete structure will not exceed thirty-five thousand dollars. The work will be finished during the ,year 1870. In a former report I stated that I. had visited no'county where there was greatt4 necessity for a new prison than in Cambria. On the occasion of my visit the Sheriff informed me that the prison was .so . unsafe that he was obliged to chain or guard prisoners who were committed for the higher grade of offences. I conversed with some of the inmates and found them anxious to be sent to the penitentiary, believing that their condition would be greatly improved brthe change.,, - The atithoilties of the county have employed Mr. Haviland to erect a new and modern jail, wherein discipline and good order may be maintained without the use of heavy irons or dungeon cells. The contract has been made for the ing, which will cost seventy-three thousand dollars.- The . work mama be zommenced. be-. fore the opening of the coming spring, but will then he advanced as rapidly • as possible, in view of the great and urgent necessity that exists for a secure • place wherein to confine their convicts. The same architect has also commenced the erection of a prison for Carbon county, at Mauch Chunk, which will probably lie finished by the autumn of MO. This prison will be hi every respect similar to that of Lycoming • county, before described in my reports, and will cost sixty-seven thou sanddollars. • The jail is ° °really needed, as the old one is an unfit habitation for man, he he criminal or not. When I visited it last year,l found the inmates sick from disease engedered by the damp and unwholesome atmosphere of the cells. Clearfield, emulating the good example of the foregoing counties, has also ordered the erection of a new jail, similar in design to the Carbon and Lycoming county prisons, yet the cells differ in construction from that of any county prison previously erected. The walls of other prisons are built of rab ble masonry, the cells being arched with bricks, and cast-iron plates laid on top to prevent es cape by boring through the arches. The new prison of Clearfield differs from these in this wise : The exterior walls of the buildin and the partition walls of the cells are of cut stone, laid in range courses ; those of the partition walls • and of the wall between the cells and corridor are to be one stone through the thickness of the wall, which will be eighteen inches. The ceilings of the cellS are to be composed of a single stone resting on "projecting courses iu the partition wallS and joined by arebate joints. This plan of con struction is similar to that of some of the Egyp tian catacombs. Wooden floors are to be put on these stone slabs to prevent dampness, and each cell will he eight feet by fifteen in , size, with a ceiling of eleven feet In height, and will be furnished with 4drant and water— closet. The beating and .yeutilation is similar to the other prisons hero!! described, with the difference that the floors are to be cut out of the solid stone on the faCe of the wall, instead of the middle, which will preserve the strength of the wall immediately against the flue—a point in many prisons where the inmates Make their efforts for escape. The plan adopted for this prison embraces comfort and security, and reflec , s credit on the architect, Mr. nolland,whose great experience prison-building enables him 'to in4qduce into every new design some intprovement over the last' erected. - After an experience of three niers anal the - . county prisons of the State, I am confirtu d•in the ephilemlong entertained * that good gbv ernment and dlsciplinelearinnt be had 'in; any jail, no matter how' )Ve'll the bUilding may constructed or adapted to ,the ptirposes, Where the duty of Keeper or Warden devolves the Sheriff.• •• That:officer being, eligible •to an election for one term only, retires from the po sition about the time he is becoming familiar with the duties of Jailor or Warden. . In some of the best constructed ..prisons in, the State, where there are cells enough to con fine all the prisoners separately, for want of a Jailor or Warden properly qualified to fill the place, the prisoners are permitted to congregate in. the corridors and spend their days in card ' playing, 'idleness and 'unprofitable conversa tion. This may not be aperoved, by .the Sher iff, but he is absent from home much of his time on official business, and leaves the'prlson in charge of an inexperienced - deputy - (on one occasion 1. found a prisoner acting as deputy), • very often his wife or daughter, who could not, Willey really understood the duties of Jailor, 'enforce the discipline necessary to maintain good order amongst the priSondrs. • In order that the good accomplished by the many improvements made in the planning and constructing of prisons and 'penitentiaries in his State. May not be entirely. lost for want of properly-trained and educated officers to manage them, I would respectfully suggest to your Excellency the propriety of the passage of a law during the coming session of the Legislature requiring all counties having accommodation in their jails for twenty or more prisoners, to elect a Board of Prison Inspectors, whose duties shall be the same as those in Lancaster, Berks and other counties that now have inspectors; and that they shall 'be particularly enjoined to appoint a warden or keeper (who shall not in. any case be the sberiff),who shall hold the place so long as be discharges his duties in a satis factory manner. Under an arrangement of this or a similar character, prisons now nothing more than schools of vice and immorality may be made houses of reformation; but until it is done all the improvements in prison build ings and all the money expended lu their erection will be lost or thrown away.

PAIUs, Jan. 11.—The Mamaliaise publlShes the following statement of M. 'de Fouville the 10th of January, 1870, at one o'clock, Vic tor Noir and myself repaired to the residence of Prine•Pierre Bonaparte, 59 Rue d'Auteuil. We were co missioued by Paschal Grous,set„ to :demand 'of the Prince the reason for the'` inju rious articles against M. Paschal Grousset, pub lished in'the Z'Arenir'creNi-Gors. We handed our cards JO' two servants, whir stoodat , the door, and Who ushered . us into a Small ' Parlor on the grohnd-door titt:ohr right hind: ,'After a few minutes we were coudnetedhp stairs to the hrtit floor, passed 'through the fencingloom, and finally oentered the drawing-room. The door opened, and M. Pierre Bonaparte entered. We, advanced toward „hini, and the follbwing words passed between us "Sir, we come in behalf of M.' Paschal Grousset to deliver a letter to you." " You are not come,. then. on behalf of M. Rochefort, and you are not tools of Lis?" "Sir, we are here on other business, and I beg you to look at this letter." I handed • him the letter. He approached th - window to read IL.' He read it, and after crushing it in his hands, he re turned towards us. • "1 have provoked Roche fort," said he, ."because be is the standard bearer of the rabble. AS for Grousset, I have no reply to make to him. Are you the repre sentatives of these carrion ?" "Sir," I answered, "we come to, you to fulfil, loyallY and cour teously, the commission intrusted to us by our friend." "Are you the representative of these wades?" Victor Noir replied, "We are the representatives of Our friends." Then suddenly advancing a step, and '-withontprovocation on 'our part, Prince Bonaparte slapped Victor . Noir with his left hand, and, at the same time, drew a revolver of six chambers, which he bad held concealed In his pocket, already cocked, and fired upon Noir, with the muz zle of the pistol close ki him. Noir staggered, pressed both hands on his breast, and sank down in the doorway by which he had entered. The cowardly assassin then turned upon me and fired. I then seized a small pistol which I had in my pocket, and while I was endeavoring to free it from the sheath the wretch rushed on me; but when he saw that I was armed he retreated, stood be hind the door, and aimed at me. It was then that, comprehending the ambush into which we had fallen,and reflecting that if I fired, there would not be wanting those who would cry that we 'bad been the aggressors, I opened the door which was behind me-and rushed out, crying Murder ; as I went ant a second shot fol lowed, which passed through my coat ; in the street I found Noir, who had strength to de scend the stairs, and was dead. These are the facts just as they transpired, and I look for prompt and exemplary justice for this crime. 'rune Da FOLTVI'LLEL Pants, , <Tan. 12.—The funeral of Victor Noir took place to4lay. The government; ex peeting a demonstration, made extensive pre parations to. preserve order, and at an early hour all its police and military arrangements were complete. Daring the morning the peo ple begin to gather around the house where the remains were lying, coming from all parts of the City.' At 11.05 one thousand workmen from the faubourgs bad passed up the boulevards on their. tray to the funeral. Many carriages, with ladies dressed in mourning, drove to join the procession. At 1 P.' M.. deputations of work men visited the remains. The streets, from the Place de la Concord to Rue d'Auteuil; were filled with vast throngs of people. Carriages containing noted persons were surrounded by the crowd, and their occu pants cheered. The weather was cold, and a heavy rain was falling, but the numbers con tinned to increase. Between two and three O'clock more than one hundred .thousand persons Were assembled in the vicinity of the place where - the remains reposed. Henri Rochefort attended the funeral, and his appearance called forth a great demon. stration of enthusiasm from the people. The remains were taken to Neuilly for in terment. followed by a long pro Cession. The crowd.wanted to parade with the body through Parts, but Louis. Noir, brother of the deceased, refused his consent. At the cemetery there were frequent shouts of " fire to Republitme z " and the " MarseillaiSe" was repeatedly sung during the day. While Rochefort and RaSpail • were coming down Champs Elysees, .accompanied by a great crowd, who were singing the "Mansell laise," they were stopped by a regiment of troops, and the crowd was ordered to disperse. Rochetert, claiming his right as deputy, passed on to the. Chamber, where be arrived pale and much excited.' Champs Elysees was then cleared by the troops. Two battalions were stationed near the hall of the legislative body, and a few regiments were massed in the boulevard close at hand. The crowd finally disperSed without resistance, but some arrests were made by the police. PARIS, Jan 12, Midnight. —Up to this hour there has been no conflict between the troops and the people, and the city is tranquil. The students went in large numbers to the funeral of Victor Noir, but created no disturbance.
