• - Fd -- ENCH LOAN.. Extract of a letter received this morning from Paris, July 10, 7 o'clock, p m. "Today the French loan of 23,114,516 of relieve ha s been adjudged to the house of Messrs. de Rothschild Bro. then and Co. Four o'clock was the hour appointed by the official announcement of the Minister of Finance for receiving the tenders of soch companies ■s intended to bid for this lola. The public rooms of the Minister of Finance in his hotel, in Rue Name Petite Champs, were thrown open to the public about two. By three a consi derable number of persons had collected. At four the suit of public rooms were nearly filled, and the apart ment, where a kind of of bureau was placed for .the Con tractors and the Ministers, was crowded to excess. One would have supposed that the Stock Exchange had ad j..urned from jobbing in the funds to the house of the Minister of Finance, to witness the creation of additional means of speculation. At a few minutes past four, a bus tle in the crowd announced the entrance of the Ministers. Not ottly the the Ministers of Finance and War attended, ut the Minister of the Interior, and the Minister of Marine. M. de Villele declared the sitting opened, and Ordered the Royal decree to be recd, which au- Viorised the sale of the twenty-three millions of realm This decree was read by the Minister M. de Villele's secretary. After this the Minister's regula tion, fixing the conditions of bidding, &c., was likewise read. M. de Villele then formally deposited on the bo nen the scaled paper eontainining the mininsurn for which be would allow the tearer to be adjudged. These formalities being completed, the representatives of the different companies who ititeuded to bid deposited their tenders. " The lists were four. and delivered in the following order lst, Messrs. Imsfitte and Co.; 2J, Messrs. Orefful: be, Sartores and Co. ;341, Messrs. de Rothschild Bro- thus and 4th, Cesar de f,apinoote and Co. After they had all been deposited and numbered, M. de Villele be gin by OpeAing 111. Lafi.tioe, which was numbered first. A tl. Witte, who had combined with Ardouin and se►eral' others of the liberal bankers, made a tender of 87f. 75e. for every hundred of renter; offering, of cou'rse, to fulfil al: the stipulations required by the Minister of Finance's official regulations. This otter excited a little movement in the assembly, as the renter, to-day, had left off in the cenlise, at six o'clock, at 20 francs 25 cents. •M. Grefful he and Co.'s tender was then opened, and read. It con tained exactly the rime offer of 871. 75c. M . de Rothschild and Brothers' tender was the third in the orrice of presentation, and the third read. It excited not a little movement in the meeting by its discrepancy with the two former. It offered to the Minister for his renter KR 55r., !icing nearly two per cent, above them. The fourth and the last test was that of M. de Lapanouse. It was the same as that of M. La6tte and M. Oreffullie. The Minister, after recapitulating the contents of the four sealed papers, announced that he adjudged the loan to Messrs. de Rothschild Brothers, their tender exceeding his sealed . minimum, which of course was not opened. The Minister has since announced that his minimum was bBf. b'Oc. Though the bidding of Messrs. de Rothschild is much higher than the rest, it was still on 'Change considered so good a bargain, that their certificates were sold at one and a half premium. The three other com panies, it wai supposed, from the uniformity of their bid ding', had formed a coalition to keep the loan among French capitalists." FRENCH PIPERS OF WEDNESDAY. PARIS, JULY 9. A letter from Bayonne, of the 4th of July, announces that Morino has solemnly refused to acknowledge the Regency of Madrid, and that having been made ac quainted with the restoration of Ferdinand to the Royal function., he ha. made his troops take a fresh oath te the Constitution.—(Pitote.) A letter from itladrid, of the 3.1. announces that Bal li.teros was on the '27th June at Villanueva de la Puente with 16.090 mea. This inovonent has made bim master of the Si:•rrs Morena.—(lbid.) The Cosrier des Spectacles was snppressed yesterday by an order of the Minister of the Interior. Yesterday the Duke of Sin Carlos, Ambassador from Spain, was introduced to a solemn audience of the King. The Doke addressed a speech to the King, 'praying him to " continue his noble and generous suc vont. to Spain, united in wishes and intentions with his august Allies, who already show so mach interest in the 'Regency." The King, in his reply, said, " God has hitherto too risibly protected the most just of causes(!) not to afford 'a lope that lie will continue his support of it. " For myself, strong in the pnrity of my intentions and those of the Sovereigns, my Allies. I am firmly re• solved nut to lay down our artns until I have restored t' Sp tits—happiness; to its King—liberty; and to Liu• rope—the repose of which the troubles of your country threatened to deprive it." M. de Martignac has been named a Commander of the Legion of Hooottr.

After an account of two sorties of the garrison of Figueras, which are said to have caused small loss on either side, the Marshal mates that Mina did not enter Cardona, as had been supposed, but marched ra pidly on Center., and thence on Tarragona. The Baron d'Erolea after leaving a corps to ob Cardona. marched vrwards Tortosa. Mina is said to have reached Tarragona in had health ; he left it the itith for Barcelona. ilia head quatters are fixed at Sans, oa the loft,• half a league from the town.

DUBLIN, Jun' 10, 18P3.—A letter has been received from Sari Grey, promising to present and support the Petition to the Honse of Lords, respecting the Adminis. tration of Justice in Ireland, hut suggesting the proprie ty of deferring it until next Session. STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—We regret to state, at,Gro eerier., near Clontnet, on Monday night, two horses and two cows were maliciously stabbed by some wretch or wretches at present undiscovered, and that one of the horses has since died. No rause can be assigned for this inhuman act, but that James Butler, the tenant of Messrs. Watson and Law, had taken the ground since May last. ENNIS, JULY s.—As the wife and daughter of David Barry, of Drimannre, in the parish of lnagh, Barony of I nchtquin, were returning from the Fair of Ennistymon on the 2d instant, a large mob of fellows waylaid them near Mannana !fridge, dragged the daughter into a beg, where they bad a horse ready, on which they carried her off to the mountains: they then wanted her to marry a felon' named Halloran, However, the girl's mother pur sued them, led on by the cries of the daughter, till she came to the house to which the ruffians had taken her, when they carried her off to another house, some of them having first dragged and beaten the poor mother in a shocking manner. They there kept removing the girl front house to house, till towards morning, when, dread ing a rescue, they nucleoli; leaving the girl behind them, who was soon joined by her wretched mAlter and a party of her friends, who brought her home. Barry, the fa ther, is a snug farmer, who it was known, intended to give his daughter a fortune ; and these fellows said, when the girl refused to marry Halloran, that she should marry him her reputation was gone, and no other person would marry her ; the distance they brought her into the mountain was three miles. It is a melancholy consider ation that such scenes as the above characterised the commencement of the outrages that disgrace the neigh bouring counties. —(Ennis Chronicle.) • At the Special Sessions held at Rattikeale; and at an other held at Tralee, under the Insurrection Act, twenty men have been convicted, and instantly lent off from the ,Court-house at each place, to be put on board the convict ships at Cove !—(Deblin VontiAg Poet of Tuesday.) The County of Wexford has been placed under the Constabulary Act. The Magistrates are to meet on the 18th at Wexford, to name 128 Constables, 16 for each of the eight Baronies. TOOMASTOWN FAIR.—As affray took place at this fair on the night of Monday last, between two rival par ties, which for some time wore a formidable aspect. The police interfered, and in the first instance dispersed the rioters, who however eventually rallied and made a sue cesitnl stand in the streets of the town. They attacked and struck some of the police with stoats, and wounded Mr. Foot, the Magistrate, under whom the police acted. That gentleman was knocked down by &blow of a stone, and the riot became at length so menacing that it was found necessary to call in a detachment of the Mount Juliet Volunteers to the assistance of the police. By the united exertions of the Police and Yeomanry the riot was ultimately quelled.—One of the peasantry was taken prisoner.—(ltilkenag Moderator.) The following paragraph, from the Kilkenny Paper, de serves more consideration than it is likely to receive from a cursory perusal:— Co. Klusersxv.—Lieut.-Col. Lindsay, commanding the 78th Highlanders, whose head-quarters are at Kilkenny, was last week appointed to the Commission of the Peace for this County. On Saturday, as a Magistrate, he took out a party of soldiers ; and, on the night from that day to Sun day, he scoured the mountains beyond Borns. and collected from the Peasantry 47 stand of arms. We have never had any hesitation in saying that the outstanding of arms in the hands of the labouring poor forms a source of danger to the public peace—but the local circumstances of be dis trict should he taken kW consideration. The people of the Mountainy District searched by Lieut.-Col. Lindsay have, like those of other parts of this County, remained as tran quil and obedient to the laws as any section of his own country. The people of that gutsier had arms with which they made a living by furnishing (very illegally, we admit) game for the Dublin market. They were poachers, but not insurgents; and we are anxious that the distinction may be marked to prevent unnecessary alarm on the part of the country, or unfounded impressions with regard to the dispo sition of the people on the mind of the Government.— (Lei aster Journal.) HIBERNIAN PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—On Saturday, the first General Meetings of this Patriotic end Benevo lent Association, was held in the Freemasons' Hall, Daw son-street. Upon such an occasion. it was truly gratifying to witness so numerous an assemblage of the fashionable fair, as tilled the Hall. The Ladies and GAhlensen's Committee, sat each round their own table; at the head of the former sat the benevolent Mrs. Passmore, and at the head of the latter. A. H. Rowan, Esq. Lord Cloncurry was calla& to the Chair. The Rev. Mr. Groves, the Secretary, read a report of the procoedings since the establishment of the Society, and a Committee was elected for the ensuing year, and the Ladies Committee requested to continue their services. The Trea surer's account was air) read, by which it appeared the So ciety have in hand 4,00 W. After the Chair was addressed by Captain O'Brien, Mr. Homan, Dr. Macartney, and Lord Cloncarry (who received the Thanks of the Meeting) they adjourned to the Ist Satur day in November. The brig Endeavour, Captain Lento, with passengers, ar rived la Quebec from Dublin, May ea, all well. The Norwich Mercury announces that Thomas Alex ander Fraser, Esq. of Low, is about to be united with Miss Jerningham, the eldest daughter of Sir tieorgeJer nioghsm, Bart., of Cossey, in Norfolk, of Stafford Castle, in Staffordshire, and of Shiffnal Manor, in Shropshire. GRATIFYING SCARCITY.—WO understand that a! pre sent there are only four prisoners for trial in the county at our ensuing assins—a smaller number than is within resnembrance.—(Norwich Mercary.) There are only 12 prisoners in Horsbans gaol for trial at our approar•dlag Assizes t a less number than bas been I known for many years.—Thsre is at present an appear sm, of bat little business Ia the Ni 4 Prime Conn.— (Brightme Herald.) M. BELZONI. (From the Cambridg n e Chionicle.) . . . Oar readers may recollec►, that in the description we (aye some three months ago. of the lid of thp granite Sarcophagus, presented to the Fitz.villism Museum by Mr. Belzoni, we alluded to the perilous journey which that enterprising traveller was about to undertake. We have lately been favoured with an ektract froma letter of his dated sth of May, at Fes, the capital of Morocco, to a Oentleman in this University. We are happy to find that Mr. Belzoni has commenced his undertaking with favourable auspices, and we most sincerely hope that he may be enabled to accomplish his plan of traversing the great breadth of Africa. Thb following is the eitract which we have been permitted to copy : " In the short letter I wrote to you from Tangier. dated the 10th of April, I informed you that I had gained permis sion from his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco, to enter Lis country as far as Fez, end that I had great hopes of obtain ing his permission to penetrate further south. I stated also, notwithstanding the great charges upon my purse, unsup ported as I am, and relying entirely on my own resources, that nothing should be left undone before I quitted my at tempt. I have now great pleasure in acquainting you, my dear friend, of my site arrival at Fez, after having beep detained at Tangier till a letter had. been forwarded from Mr. Douglas, his Britannic Majesty's Consul at Tangier, to the Minister at Fez, to obtain permission from the Empe ror for me to approach his capital. As soon es a favourable I answer was received, we started for this place, and in ten days arrived here in•safety with my better half, who, having succeeded in persuading me to take her as far as Tangier, has also inforeed her influence to proceeed to Fez, but this, though much against her will, must be her " Ne plus ultra." Yesterday I had the' honour to be presented to his Majesty the Emperor, and was highly gratified wi,h his reception of me. He was acquainted that I had letters of introduction from Mr. Wilmot, to the Consul In Tangier, from whom I received the greatest hospitality. end who did all in his power to promote my wishes. The fortunate circum stance of my haring known the Prime Minister of his Ma jesty, whilst in Cairo, on his return from Mecca .to this country, is also much in my favour; and though a great deal has been said against my project by the commercial party, particularly from the Jews of this country, who monopolize all the traffic of the interior, I obtained his Majesty's per mission to join the caravan, which will set out for Timbuc too, within one month. If nothing should happen, and if promises are kept, I shall from this place cross the moun tains of Atlas to Taflet, where we shall join other parties from various quarters, and from thence, with the help of God, we shall enter the Great Sahara to Timbuctoo. Should I succeed in my attempt, I shall add another " votive tablet" to the Temple of Fortune; and if, on the contrary, my project should fail, one more name will be added to the many others which have fallen into the River of Oblivion. Mrs. Belzoni will remain at Fez, till site hears of my de parture from Tenet, which place is IS or tO days journey from hence•, and as soon as that fact is ascertained, she will return to England." _ _ _ Tafiet is 310 miles south of Fez.

She , effected her purpose by doubling and tying her garter, one end of the loop being plowed on the trigger, the other under her Lot, placing the muzzle ander her stays, and discharging its contents into her body, causing a large wound, from which a portion of the bowels pro truded. The unfortunate woman lived about three hours after the fatal transaction, when death terminated her sufferings. Mary Herd, charwoman to the deceased, said her mistress use a remarkably tine woman, of a sanguine temperament and strong passions; that she was aunt to the late Thomas Elliott, Esq. (of sporting celelority), Ito shot himself some little time since in London, and by whose death it is supposed she would have obtained au increase to her property. She was many years younger than her husband, Mr. M. being sixty-seven years of age. Latterly they had lived very unhappily, from his being jealous of a young man of the name of Strong, who boarded and lodged with them. She said her master came home on the afternoon in question about bur o'clock; he appeared to have been drinking; a quarrel ensued between her master, mis tress, and Strong, end the two latter left the house, but not in company; Strong quitting it first. Soon after live o'clock her master also went out. In the course of the evening they all returned, M-. M. coming •I• home first. Her mistress returned at abort a quarter before eight. o'clock.—Strong was there before. Her master and Strong had both drank, but Mr. S. appeared most intoxicated. The quarrel was resumed, and with' as who was in the washhouse, bearing a great noise, was induced to go into the house, and found her master • and' Mr. S. fighting. At the request of her mistress she cell ed Mr. and Mrs. Lawless, who came ; on her return Mr. Strong was out of the house, and she did not see him af terwards. Her mistress, at this time, was in a state of great agitationoind did not appear to know what she was about. She complained much of her husband's ill usage —that is, of his being jealous ; he had never struck her. Mr. and Mrs. Lawless quitted the hove about nine o'clock, wishing Mr and Mrs. M. good night; her in;s trees went up stairs, mister remained in the kitchen-- there was always a gun on her may ter's side of the bed, it was generally loaded—she saw Mrs. M. several times af terwards, and removed the gun from the room, but which her mistress again got possession of ; witness offered to remain in she house for the night, but this Mrs. M. refus ed ; at her mater's request, when about quitting the house, she asked her mistress if she wanted her any more, who answered no, and before she had rower to descer.d into the kitchen, heard the report of a gun.—Susan Bart lett corroborated the testimony df the former witness, and said, when she beard the report of the run ; Mr. AI, celled on', "Good God, she has shot herself I" and ran up stairs; he burst open the don., which was locked. Mrs. M. was laying on her back on the floor, with the gun at the bat tom of Hushed ; Mrs. M. was on fire, which was put out by witness ; did not observe how the gun was, but the:e was much smoke, and a strong smell of gunpowder ; she was living but dot not speak ; Mackay was then desiring her to speak tJ him, when she cried out "Oh cruel Mackay!" she kissed him and forgave him. Mr. Land, surgeon, said he was called about half-peat ten o'clock on Monday night; was told Mrs. Mackay had shot her self ; found her lying on the bed; examined her —loans! a gun-shot woon I ou the right side, one of the smaller intestines protruded, with part of the omentuna, which he reduced ; she died about half-past one on Tuesday morning ; considered her death occasioned by the gun shot wound —Dr. Collins gave similar evidence as to the nature of the wound, and cause of death ; asked deceased what led her to commit the act; she said she was driven to madness by the conduct of her husband, but she hoped that God would for. ive her. Witness was of opinion no sane person would commit such en act.—Mrs. Eliroloetla Batt, sen. had Intimately known the deceased about two years and a half ; within the last five or six months toad observed a marked alteration in her manner; appeared much dee din spirits, and at times thought her out of her mind. The cause Mrs. B. understood to be jea lousy on the part of her husband, but far which she as sured witness there was no foundation.—The Jury, after a long, laborious, aud patient investigrion, and hearir g Mr. Wilkey, who, in a most able and feeling mann-r, summed up the evidence, commenting as he went on, and stating the strong impression on his mind, strengthened as it most certainly was by the circumstance of her ne phew having terminated his own existence, delivered the following verdict—" Shot herself, then labouring under temporary derangement."—Mr.Mae.kay Ices an annuity of 701. per annum, by his wife's death.—(E.reter Flying Port.)
