France, The Paris dates are of the 16th of July. On the Texas question, the journals, almost with- out distinction of party, continue to regard annex- ation as only waiting some matters of form to be fully completed.

Perhaps au fond, as the French say, | the Government is right in thus assimilating one | province to another; but it may be questioned whether their choice of time is prudent. The Carlists have done nothing; but from the measures the Government has taken, it seems to be thought not improbable that they may attempt to force a marriage between Don Carlos’s'son and the Queen, by an appeal to arms, though their leading members loudly discluim any intention. Most of the Ministers have been away from Ma- drid; there is no political news stirring, beyond what I have communicated.

Mr and Mrs. Charles Kean leave country on the 4th of August. Vicror Huco—Faux Pas —A very scandalous affair has been the subject of a nine day’s wonder to these good Parisians. M.

It will be seen from the market notes that the daily arrivals are expected to bring fresh stocks, which will give a stimulant to this branch of trade. Tue Inox Bustness.—The quarterly meeting of the Iron-masters has recently been held in Staflord- shire. During the last few weeks every description of inanufactured iron has been reduced 20 per cent. The impression at present 1s, that the market will sink still lower, and some talk is already current about lowering the wages of colliers. Many of the speculations which have been and stillare be- fore the public, must, itis clear, be either abandoned or postponed, and a much less quantity of iron wil! suffice than was some time ago calculated upon. Speculation has thus received a blow, under the ef fects of which the trade is now reeling. The pricc of bar iron isnow nominally £10 perton at the works. The demand at present is dull, and stocks are accumulating. For the statistics of the tradc our market returns may be referred to.

The great topic of general interest during the I: fortnight has been the question relative to the Jesuits sion of persuading the Pope to recall the Jesuits from France, and thereby save the government the pain and scandal of being compelled to expel them by the strong hand. Jn this mission M. Rossi has com- pletely succeeded—the religious communities of the Jesuits being ordered to be broken up, the greater part of their body to quit the kingdom, their novici- ates to be sold, and their houses and property (they are very rich) to be disposed of. This is considered a great triumph over the religious party; and so un- doubtedly it is, for say what people rill the Jesuits are the abledt champions of the Romish Church.— The religious newspapers console themselves by as- serting that it was not the Pope who consented that the Jesuits should be sent out of France, but the dered as concluded, the Deputies having actually all probability, the session will be formally closed by commenced on the 26th December, and in the course of it sixty new laws have been passed, some of them of great domestic importance, ‘The law for carrying into effect the new slave trade with England, had After the famous appeal of Thiers to the government to put the laws in force against the followers of Loyola, M.

The Prince Metternich, Minister of Austria, has addressed a despatch to the Austrian Ambassador, speaking in terms of high gratification of the con- duct of the party that supported the Jesuits in the late straggle. i - x The canton from which Dr, Stieger made his es- | cape demanded that he should be delivered up, but the other cantons refused.

Granp Musica. Festivai.—The most extensive preparations are making at Bonn for the grand festi- val on the oceasion of the inauguration of the bronze statue to the memory of Beethoven. It 1s to last three days, viz: the 1th, 12th and 13th of August.— There will he five concerts, at which 2,000 perform- ers will assi#t. All the musical genius of Ger. an are expected to assemble on this occasion, as welt as many foreign distinguished musicians, including Auber, Berlioz, Helevé, &c. The music will be un- der the direction of Dr. Brierdenstein ; it will com- mence with a grand mass by Beethoven, at the cathe- dral.

The lady was committed to prison, and the same indignity would have befallen the distinguished poet, but for the session of the Chamber of peers. Letters from Constantinople of the 25th of June, published by the Augsburg Gazette, state that there is no truth in the rumor that three emirs of the fa- mily of the Emir Beschir had been assassinated by order of the Tuwkish Government. A revolt had broken out in the Island of Candia, which was put down, but the country was by no means qui- et. The cause of this revolt was that th» authori- ties had tortured a Greck, who died after five days suiferings. The Echo de VOrient of Smyrna states that the accounts received from Syria are rather more satis- factory than those previously received. Reinforce- ments of troops had been sent trom Salonica to yrout, and it was hoped that the efforts of Vedjih Pacha, aided by the Consuls of England and France, would convert the armistice between the Druses and Maronites, which the Consuls had succeeded in establishing, into a definitive peace.

Speculators were active, and wheat per bushel improved to the extent of 6d to 8d, and flour Is per bbl. Some rather heavy sales of Canadian were made at 27s6d per bbl and United States, in bond, at 19s 6d. The weather, as we have stated above, having shown symptoms of im provement, there has been less doing, and if it con- tinues, prices will recede to the figures from which they advanced. The accounts of the Irish crops are not over-promising; the harvest, it is suspected, will be late, and a late harvest is always uncertai Yesterday, in consequence of the sun’s power, and the hopeful feeling which warmth and sunshine en- gender, the grain markets were listless. ‘There was little disposition to buy, and still less to speculate. Prices gave way to a limited extent. ‘Tuuxper Storms, Froops, &e.—Throughout the past and preceding weeks various parts of the Uni- ted Kingdom and the Continent have been visited by storms of thunder, lightning, and rain.

Twelve bridges have been destroyed by the torrents in the parishes of Donagheady and Leekpatrick! The crops have, of course, suffered severely. Another storm raged on the night of the 6th Ae) morning of the 7th inst., in several parts of England and on the continent. In the towns of Birmingham, Notting- ham, Derby, and the country surrounding, the visi- tation was severely felt. Nottingham was complete- ly deluged, and a man was struck blind by the Tight. | ning. Immense tracts of land were flooded, the hay | floated away, the corn beaten down, and the stacks | drenched through At Erith the tempest did a gocd deal of damage, a heavy shower of hail falling. The conservatories suflered greatly. At Lord Say and Sele’ 4000 or 5000 panes of glass were broken — houses at Wolverhampton were struck by tric fluid. At the Isle of Man a heavy storm me night, beat down the corn in many places. Territie thunder storms in France, also on the aod 7th, were unusually destructive of human life. A farmer, from the neighborhood of Honfleur, was caught in the storm, while travelling on horseback, and both man and beast were struck dead by the lightning. A Gonneville, near Rouen, a man em- ployed in ploughing, and one of two horses he was driving, were \i'led. ‘The steeple of the church of | the new and fay: rite watering place Tronville, near | Honfleur, was destroyed. ‘The town of Weleschin, in Bohemia, was struck at one moment by the lightning in five different parts.

The subject of University tests has been the cause of a fierce debate, and of a very narrow division in the House of Commons—so narrow, that only eight votes stood between the government and deteat.— ‘The abolition of religious tests in the Scotch Uni- versities was originally brought before the House by Mr. Rutherford, and when he introduced it, Sir James Graham intimated the probability that the Ministry would concede the demand. The second reading of the bill, in the absence ef Mr. Ruther- lord, was moved by Mr. Macauley, the member for Edinburgh, who is, our readers need hardly be in- formed, one of the most effective and_ brilliant speakers in the House. ‘The question atissne in- volves this consideration—whether the members of the Free Church in Scotland shall have access to the Universities of their country. As the tests now stand, they are excluded; and as the Free Church constitutes the great majority of our northern coun- trymen, the grievance 1s fet to be tyrannical in practice, and unjust in principle. On the second reading, the government, very unwisely for their stability and popularity, resisted the required boon, and in doing so, laid ‘themselves open to a cutting exposure of inconsistency. 'o oppose the abolition of tests in Scotland,while in their new Collegiate Bill, they insist upon the ab- sence of tests in Ireland, is an anomaly, if not an absurdity. The inconsistency is so palpable, the cases are so parallel, that the opposition speakers stood on ’vantage ground, and made the most of their position, while the Government and its adyo- cates were puerile in argument, and powerless in warding off the assault. The debate was the most damaging which the Ministry has experienced, and the feeling of the House was so strong, that the pean found the greatest difficulty in saving his friends. Indeed, it is said, that had the opposition marshalled their forces with equal, or even mode- rate zeal, the Government ‘would have been defeat- ed. On this cecasion, Lord John Russell came out “strong,” as it is phrased, and said some cutting things, in the bitterest and most telling manner.— | when re | their embarsasement, will A’ youth, at Crigglestone, was struck a dead, in ashop.

The parties who had presumed to beard the House, antici- pating the probability of being sent to Newgate or to the Tower, begged pardon. of the Commons, and were discharged. The other branch of the Legislature has got out of the collision ina simi- lar manner, the parties being also discharged. Nevertheless, the popular branch of the Legisla- ture can scarcely allow another session to pass without detining their privileges; they must take some steps to prevent the unseemly exhibitions which are now ef frequent occurrence touching their right of publishing what they believe to be conducive to the common good.

The combusti- bles were thrown into the ravine. Fire was put to them, and the fire was kept uptill evening. This occurred onthe 18th of June. On the morning of the 19th, the Arabs ventured tocome out of the ca- yern. They came to hear the propositions of the Colonel.

The sol- diers were kept to this detestable work by gangs, and it was, I assure you, a frightful duty for them amidst heart-rending cries and sounds which arose from the interior. For a long time the fire rose in a double column atthe two entrances to the cavern,but on the 20th there only remained a mass of half-burnt smouldering charcoal, and ull sounds from the inte- rior had ceased. It was decided the cavern should be entered. A thousand persons were accumulated in this horrible dungeon, from which there was no is- sne.
