It was proposed on Saturday, at a club, to make a demonstration before the Hotel de Ville, in favour of M.Mottu, the Mayor of the eleventh arrondissement, who was dismissed on account of his crusade against crucifixes.

An amendment, however, was carried, putting it off until famine gives the friends of a revolution new adherents.

Crucifixes were denounced by an orator in the course of the evening, as "impure nudities, which ought not to be suffered in public places, on account of our daughters." The great meat question is left to every arrondissement to decide according to its own lights.

As a necessary consequence of this, while in one part of Paris it takes six hours to get a beef-steak, in others, where a better system of distribution prevails, each person can obtain his ration of 100 grammes without any extraordinary delay.

Butter now costs 18fr.
