M. GUIZOT, for a time at least, stifled the Tahiti

conflagra- tion which threatened such formidable flaring on Friday. M. BIL- WILT moved for more information, with a furious attack : M. GUIZOT at once handed in more than was wanted, in the shape of a mass of papers ; and the Deputies adjourned the discussion, that they might read them. This seems borrowed from the use to which our Blue Books are chiefly put, smothering inquiry under a re- dundant mass of what is sought as fuel to it. The calm is beneficial to France ; the Deputies having since engaged themselves in the more practical subject of improving the prison-discipline of the country.
