A Statesman Fallen.

“PARIS, Sept. 8.—The funeral of M. Thiers took place to-day. Enormous crowds were in attendance, notwithstanding the heavy rain-storm that prevailed. Five battalions of troops escorted the remains to the grave, with bands of music draped in crape. The city is quiet, but the military is confined in the barracks.”
In the death of M. Thiers the republican movement of France loses its leader. If the loss is not fatal to the cause of liberty, it will at least prove a serious injury.
