After 100 days the per diem is rednced from three dollars to one" dollar and fifty cents, and this we have no doubt accounts for the selection of the 11th. The last legislature, which was Whig in both Ranch es, it will be recollected, adjourned on the 16th of Ttfarch, nearly one month earlier than their loco ibco successors.

Communication with the Inferior Cut Off Railroad Stations in Pos . session of the People. ... The Steamer Cambria arrived at New York from Liverpool on Saturday with the following highly important intelligence From, a Postscript in the European Times of February 2Gth. Louis Phillippe has abdicated in favor of the Count de Parts. Thrr.Duko of ,Nemburs pro posed as Regent, and rejected.' ' It was pro posed by O'Dilloh Rarot that a Regency should be formed under the Duchess of Orleans until the Count de Paris should obtain his majority, but this has been rojected, and a .Republic in sisted upon. The Duchess of Orleans and the Count de Paris went to the Chamber at half past one, accompanied by the Duke de Ne mours, and a large party of officers on horse back. The Duchess was in deep mourning. Four o'clock The Duchess de Orleans, the Count do Paris, and the Duke do Nemours had been at the Chamber of Deputies, and haye been rejected by the Chamber and the people who penetrated into the chamber. The Cham ber of Deputies has declared itself en perme nance. The Chamber has refused to allow the fami ly of Louts Phillippe to resign the throne. There will be great efforts made to support the Duchess de Orleans. The idea of a republic is not agreeable to the mass of the Deputies. The Deputies met to-day, but the the populace overpowered the majoriiy. The King at one o'clock left the Palace of the Tuilherie?, escorted by a party ol the Cav alry of the National Guards and several regi ments of regular cavalry. The carriages went by the Quays to the barrier of Passey., The troops were all withdrawn at noon to-dav. Not a soldier is to be seen. The troops of the lino have fraternized with the National Guard and the Naiional Guard with the peo ple. All intercourse between the two sides of the river is cut off, but I hear distant firing go ing on every instant while I write. Gamier Pages is Mayor of Paris. A strong government will be organized. A republic on the model of the United States is proposed. A procession of persons in blouses and armed, have just past, carrying the throne of the throne room of the Tuillieries on their shoulders in triumph, and singing the Marseilles hymn. There has been a frightful loss of life, and in many instances the troops have refused to act against the people. The number of killed is said to be upwards of 500, principally in the neighborhood of the Palace Royal and between that and the Tuil leries. An attempt was made on the finance ministers' residence at 1 1 o'clock, which failed. The tocsin has been sounding all day through out Paris. All Paris is in the hands of the National Guards and the people. Count Mole was first named and rejected by the people. Thiers and Barrot were next named and the proclamations appointing them Ministers are torn down everywhere by the Public General. Lamoriciere has been appointed Commander of the National Guard. The placard was writ' ten by Thiers and Barrot. It is said General Lamoriciere is killed, or at all events wounded. The palace of the Palais Royal has been taken possession of by the people, after a great deal of carnage. An attack was made alone o'clock on the palace of tho Tuilleries. The Palace of the Tuilleries is in the hand of the National Guard, and the people are throwing the furniture out of the windows and" burning it ; and an aitempt has been made to burn the Tuilleries ; the people had penetrated into the cellars of the Tuilleries and are dis tributing the wine. The people are in possession of the railway stations and barriers ; the rails removed to pre vent the troops arriving from the country. The passengers fromBoulonge to Paris were obliged to return from Neufchaiel to Boulonge, as the railway is stopped. All communications is cut off with Paris. Tho mail and passengers aro jeturned to Amies. On the 22d, the day on which it had been fixed to hold tho great reform banquet, the en tire city of Paris was in open insurrection. The Conversion which took place in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday evening, be tween Barrot and Duchatel, prepared the peo ple for the formal prohibition of the reform ban quet which was to take place on the following day. Proclamations by the prefect of police, and an order of the day by the commander ol the Naiional Guards, were published, forbid ding the banquol and all assemblages of the people, ar.d prohibiting the appearance of tho Naiional Guards in uniform, unless ordered by their chiefs. In consoquence of these acis of Government, the Opposition deputies met, and resolved that the banquet should not take place, that the people be entreated to submit, and thai a mo:ion for the impeachment of ministers be made in the Chamber of Deputies, it was fur ther resolved, that should this motion be nega tived, ihey would resign their functions as dep uties.

They showed their hatred of M. Guizot by de molishing his windows and attempting to force an entrance into his hotel, but were again repulsed by the troops. All the military in Paris, and all the National Guards, were summoned to arms, and every preparation made on tho part of the people. The latter raised barricades in various places, and unpaved the streets, overturned ornni busses, and made preparations for a vigorous as sault, or a protracted resistance. All the accounts from Paris represent the city in a terrific state of excitement and dismay the whole of that day. All the streets leading to the Chamber of Deputies Were, like" 'the bridge, occu pied by strong detachments of. troops, and no one was allowed io pass except the deputies, the news paper reporters, and those who were furnished with special tickets of admission.

' Again.: sorne loiKs accuse pigs ol oeing filthy in their habits, and negligent in thefr per sonal appearance.- But whether food fs best eaten "off the ground, or from. China plates; i, it beerns to "me, merely a matter of taste and convenience, about which pigs and nieu may honestly differ. They ought, then, to be judged charitably. At tfny rate, pigs are not filthy enough to chew tobacco, rior to poison their breath by drinking whiskey. And as to iheir personal appearrance, you don't catch a pig playing the dandy, nor the females among them picking their' way up this muddy village, after a rain, in kid slippers. Notwithsianding their heterodox notions, hog have some excellent traits of character. If one chances to wallow a little deeper in some mire hoio than his fellows, and so carries off and comes in possession of more of this earth than his brethren, ho never assumes an extra importance on that account ; neitheir are his brethren stupid enough lo worship him for it. Their only question -seems to be. in he still a hog? If he is, they treat him ar such. And when a hog has no merits (if his own, he never puts on aristocratic airs, nor claim- any particular respect on account of his family connections; and yet some Hogs have descen ded from very ancient families.

Tayloi's remarkable coolness and sa gacity on the field of battle; but the following is more than twenty-four hours in advance of its contemporaries : 4,The General is in tf:e habit f riding with very short stirrups. Well, in the heat of the fight at Buena Vista, the old veteran saw a cannon ball making towards him from one of the Mexican batteries, with terrific speed. Rough and Ready eyed it for a mo ment with great interest, during which time he ascertained, with mathematical precision, ihe exact spot where it would hit him if he re mained still. But at ihe same time he .satisfied himself that wih a little finesse he could avoii the danger. So, wailing with great paiienco until the shot was about to stnko him, he de liberately raised himself in his stirrup?, and the ball passed between him and the saddle, leav ing him quite unharmed! This the doctor saw with his own eyos, and therefpro there can be no doubt of its truth." CHANGES. OF WkATHER ANU CaTCHIHG CoLD.
