An incident; js related in our latest Parisian files, which could have taken place nowhere else but in France. Mons. P , an old military officer? a man o* harsh and unbending character ?had resolved to marry his son to the daughter of one of his brother oflicers. The young man had formed other projects ?had dreamed of another union; but, being of an exceedingly timid disposition, dared not openly re>ist his father's wishes, His first words of dissent having been answered by a torrent of abuse on the part of the old gentleman, poor Arthur permitted the month of betrothal to n:\ss without further ooDosition: whilst his finance, ^l/llc. L , mistook his sighs | ?his melancholy?Cor proofs positive of his passion for her, and considered herself in duty bound to adore him. yhe wedding day having arrived, the fiances, with their attendants, presented themselves at tho Mayoralty. Arthur was^gloomy and reserved, and seemed to have bis mind made up to some desperate resolvo 5'he countenance of Emma was maient with happincc?. The preliminaries havintr i??cn duly ar ranged, the Mayor of C (NJ. Morbiban) put to the groom the usual question ?"ArthurP -, will you take this woman, Emma C??, for your wifa?" etc. Arthur slowly raised his head, and in a trembling, yet clear, emphatic tone, nn vercd?''No!" Of coursc, then followed a scene, to the portrayal of which we cannot hope to do justico. All was confusion. The party separated in disorder?tho relatives of the interested biido indignantly demanding an explanation of Mons. P , senior, wno looked the picture of petrification. As for Arthur, ho had already escaped, and started directly for i'ai is. A low days subsequent to this extraordinary occurrence, a young girl was ocen rapidly ascending the stairs of a hotel garni in Iiuc St. Ilonore. She had learned from the porter that .A/ons. Arthur /-.?? arrived the proceeding night. It was Kn)ina C- come with .her father and intended fathor-in-Jaw, in search of the fugitive fiance w ho had. so cruelly insulted her. But sho was no *.* alone. She tapped at the door of No. lY, and cn- | tcred without waiting for annnswer. The I young mail was reclining in hod, rending ;l n*?iv?nnn?r. Kmma walked strain-lit. t/> I the boi-side, and, drawing from under herjihawl an enormous hor*e pistol which doubtless she had procured from her father?? . _ V t "Sir!" sai.l she to Arthur, hor oy W Hashing with t^n^ev, "you hnvo gr hsullod me, 'iinci I demnnd reparirtioto!

Colonel Henton. turning with fire in liis eye, and a scowl upon his brow, screamed at the top of his voice, 'Well, sir, what is it?' Col. Priest then remarked that lie might not understand him, and would like to know 'whether he was for ov against the Wilmot Proviso?! Col. Benton's fury vising still higher, he roared out in a sneeiing tone 'The Wilniot Proviso! Wilmot Proviso! dead and rotten, dead and rotten! you had as 1: well bring the carcass of a dead dog from j off the commons into this house! it is the Jefferson proviso, sir! llftvc you heard the news?
