BELG I UK

The 'Belgian war budget for 1861 is Axed at
32,335,010 f.
The King of the Belgians paid a visit to Ghent a few
days since, and received an address from the localautho-
rities. His Majesty said in reply
The spot on which we are assembled calls to mind
ancient and glorious recollections. These old communes
were the seat of commerce, industry, and fine arts, when
a large portion of Europe was b till in darkness. From
the most distant times the love of country and its inde-
pendence has been preserved as a sacred fire in the hearts
of their inhabitants. The most precious blood was often
spent to obtain a free and national existence. Success
did not crown those noble efforts. It was reserved for
for us to found upon the largest basis that which the
country so much desin.sl, and to make it the home et all
that constitutes the happiest political and social exis-
tence. It is thus that we are found by the tempest which
in 1848 convulsed Europe, in which alone to our glory
we escaped all dangers, our political existence remaining
• jured. Whatever may be the trials of the future,
la4B shows us how we can pass through them with
honour and success. Two generations of toy family have
been borne in your midst, and have with you a common
country. My devotion to you during the long reign is
known, and so long as it shall please Providence to pre•
serve me 1 will remain faithful at my post, and uumova-
bie
ma my paternal affection for you.

FRANCE.

Both England and France have agreed that, in COD-
4d.r.tion of the mission of Fund Pasha to Syriru, they
will for the present abstain from direct interference.
In the event, however, of the Porte proving incapable
a putting a stop to the conflict between the Drage. and
Marunites, England and France have concerted identical
instructions to be given to their respective Admirals.
authorising the latter to effect a disembarcatiou at
Beyrout should the massacres continue.

In order not to obstruct the free actiOn-of the
Turkish Government, as well as to leave to it a COM-
Otte respunaibility, the French Government has decided
that the commanders of the men of war sent to Syria
shall abstain from all intervention, and confine them-
selves to protecting the French Consuls and to offer
refuge to all Christians who may apply for it.
The Patric announces, under the head " lateetnews,"
that the siege of Messina is decided on, but that the
great heat so terrible in Sicily during the months of
July and August, will render the operation against that
place extremely diMcult.
It is stated that the Government has decided on re-
fusing to " denationalize" the two French vesselslately
purchaaml for Garibaldi. The obvious conclusion is that
France means to hupport the Nesnolitan Government in
the reforms and concessions it offers to its people, and to
force Piedie ~,,, t to accept, as sincere and real, the decla•
rations of Native. Prince Petrulla goes to Turin as Am-
bassador from Naples.
A funeral service was celebrated on Tuesday for the
repose of the soul of Prince Jerome in all the churches of
Paris and throughout France.
The entire force of the Imperial Gnarl will go to the
Chalons Camp at the beginning of September, end in
connexion with this news it is again reported that the
King of Prussia and several other German Sovereigns
will pay • visit G. the Emperor on the occasion. The
Carrrsporolance Ballicr says : " I cannot tell with what
object, hut the Camp of Chalons, in 1860, will rival that
of Boulogne in 1804, which was formed on the eve of
the battle of Austerlitz."

MARK LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FITDAT, July 13.—An unusually small supply of
Wish wheat wee on sale here to-day, coutwise and
by hod carriage. All kinds, however, met a dull
; but, compared with Monday, no change took
place in the quotation.. The condition of the samples
was tolerably good. The fresh imports of foreign
wheat amount to 14,990 quarters. As most 1.1 the millers
are well in stock, and as somewhat favourable accounts
have come to band in reference to the crops generally,
the trade was heavy, and prices ruled nominally the
mune as on Monday last. Floating cargoes were held on
former terms ; but the inquiry for them was limited.
The few samples of barley on offer were disposed of at
full quotations. Malt was a dull inquiry, but not
cheaper. About an average business was doing in oats,
at the late decline in value. Beans, peas, and flour
were a dull inquiry, on former terms.

: The H reilitary Grand Duke of lifeeklenburg-Strelits
is shortly expected in this country. We regret to say
that his Itoysl Highness is now quite blird. His sight
had been failing 110111 e years, but we believe it is now
quite gone. This may very reasonably account for the
time chosen by the duke for Ida visit when the bustle of
the season is over, and all court ceremonials are at an
end. His Royal Highness will be accompanied be his
his son Prince Adolphus, a former playmate of the
young princes of our Royal family. The visit of the
Hereditary Grand Duke, will, therefore, be considered
as quite ea fainilk, and the greater part of his time
will be spent at Kew.

SYRIA.

MASSACRE OF TWO THOUSAND CHRISTIANS.
BETROUT, June V.
Affairs in this province are looking blacker and
blacker. Yesterday we had the fearful news of the I
village of I)lieis-el.lDimar being sacked, burnt, and
every Christian node, to tbs number of two thousand
sanl rpore being pot to the sword by the Druses, who a
fortnightl)efore hail dilaruied them, in cold blood. The
women and children were allowed to escape, and reached
the mouth of the Damoor river, half way between this
and Sidon, yesterday, whence they were brought up last
night and this morning, to the number of 1,100, by
11.13. M. ships Gannet and Mohawk. Of the men of
Niels-el-Kamer not more than thirty have escaped.
The town is all burnt. The refugees may that the
Turkish soldiers sided with the Druses, helping them
to butcher the people, and that they, the Sultan's
troops, were the only people who insulted the women,
of whom not a few met with the worst treatment by
them.
Beyrout itself is in a panic to-day.
We take the following from the Laraid Herald of the
4th July.
We have received a telegram from Smyrna, dated 2nd
July, announcing the arrival of the Syrian steamer,
and give the following in advance of her snivel here:
The steamer left Beyrout on the 23rd June, and
reports that at that time the panic among tho Christian
population had become general. Nearly the whole of
the Frank inhabitants, and as many of the native
Christians as could, had taken refuge on board the
English, French, and Russian men-of•war in the roads.
Her Majesty's steamer Exmouth had embarked the cash,
books, and personnel of the Ottoman Bank, and as many
of the other English residents its possible. In addition
to this, parties of marines from the Walsh, French and
Russian ships had landed to assixt in maintaining order
in the town. At Damascus the Christians were also in
' a state of panic, and Abdel-Kailer had come forward to
! use his inluence for their protection.

intelligence from Taranaki, New- Zealand, up to April

and the officer in command, Colonel Gold, was collect-
ing his forces and preparing for further operations.
, The New South Wales contingent had strived, and
others must have arrived soon aftzr. The total Austra-
lian cont:ngents were estimated at shout 800 men. In
the meantime, there was no appearance of an imme-
diate settlement, though it was reported that the Bishop
had counselled Ehe Governor to make peace on any
terms. The loss of the natives was ascertained to have
been 150 men, with a very large proportion of chiefs—
namely, 17. This dispirited the natives for • time, and
probably calmed their retirement before our forces.

STOCKBRIDGE ANNUAL SHEEP AND LAMB FAIL
—This fair was held as usual on the 10th inst. There
was a somewhat short supply of stuck, but quite
equal to the demand. I...xtravagant prices were
asked in the morning, but were not generally sub-
mitted to. There were some very good lambs
penned, in short much better than was anticipated,
and it may be said that the prices were very good,
although not equal tn the expectations of the sellers
in the morning. Throughout, the trade was slow,
and some were left unsold. The lambs which
attracted the most attention were those of Mr.
Schwann, of Houghton; Mr. Longman and Mr.
Baines, of Leckfurd; and Mr. French, of Longstock.
The ram lambs were not so numerous as at former
fairs; the principal exhibitors were Mr. Spencer, of
Barton; Mr. Baines, of Leckfurd ; Mr. Courtney,
of Bamsbury ; and Mr. Dear, of Stoke, each and

celebrated on Wednesday evening at the Freemasons'
Tavern, under the able presidency of Sir S. M. Peto,
M.P. This hospital, which is situated in the centre
of a notoriously poor and populous district, relieves on
an average 46,000 cases per annum, or about 900 desti-
tute persons every week. The committee of manage-
went, notwithstanding the greatest economy, had not
only exhausted all the funds, but had been compelled
to incur • considerable debt, of which about P3OO was
due fur drugs alone, the medical staff as usual, with the
members of that benevolent profession, giv nr their
services gratuitously to suffering humanity. relieve
the counnittee and to furnish funds the dinner was
given, and after the usual loyal toasts that of the eFening
was given, "Success to the Great Northern Hospital,"
proposed by the chairman in most eloquent terms, after
which the secretary announced subscriptions to a liberal
amount.
The Indian Lamed, in a letter from Dr. Donaldson,
recouimends the web of the 00111111011 spider as an unfail-
ing remedy for certain fevers. This remedy, it was
observed, was need • century bask by the poor in the
fens of Lincolnshire, and by Sir James llPGrigor in the
West Indies.

The amount of money remitted by settlers in North
Amtrica to their friends in the United Kingdom from
1848 to 1859, both inclusive, was £10,986,153. The
largest amount, £1,730,000, was received in USK and
the smallest, £460,000, in 1848.

SCHOOL TRZAT.—The children connected with
the Sunday and day schools of Longfleet Church had
their annual tes in a field near the parsonage at
Stanley Green, on Wednesday last. A variety of
juvenile games were indulged in, and racing, ke.,
for prizes were numerously competed for during the
afternoon and evening. The temperance drum and
fife band was present and enlivened the proceedings
with a selection of music. This band has lately
been re-established, and is now progressing rapidly,
under the tuition of Mr. Kennedy, Longfiect, school-
master.
FRANKLYN'S DRINKING FOUNTAIN. The Gas ,
Company has liberally consented to light and supply
the lamp erected on this fountain with gas, and con-

in the supply of water is very remiss on the part of
the managers, and we hopeit will not be long before
the day is announced for its being opened to the
public. At present it stands only as an ornament,
but Mr. Franklyn's object in presenting it to the
town must have been far greater than that.

there is very little business doing in our market either
for home use or export. However, owing to the high

the limited stocks held by the manufacturers, prices

ALLEGED MYSTERIOUS MURDER. —A Thurles COMA-
ponlent of one of the Dublin papers writes,—" The
following strange facts have been brought to light in
the neighbourhood of Thurles :—On Friday morning
last, as Mr. John Tennant, of Parkstown, WOO taking
his accustomed walk over his estate, for the purpose if
looking over his fox covers, lie happened to be examin-
ing • portion of a dry sand-quarry iu the vicinity of
Carrigeen, • place situate within about four in des of
the town of Thurles, when he discovered in a shallow
recess in the quarry the skeleton of. full-grown woman.
Having made his observations and taken the necessary
precautions to secure the remains from being interfered
with, Mr. Tennant immediately sent information of the
circumstance to Mr. JOSeI,II l. Bradshaw, sub-inspec-
tor of constahularly at Thurles, who bad the proper
steps taken to preserve everything as it was when found
until an inquest could be held. In the course of the
same day (Friday) the county coroner was in attend-
ance, with an intelligent jury, who having carefully
examined the position of the skeleton, returned the
following as their verdict :—• The skeleton of a female,
name unknown, has been found ins hole in a quarry, at
Carrigeen, on Friday, the 6th of July; and we find that
the said female was murdered icy some person or per-
tons unknown.' The jury were irresistibly forced to
the above conclusion by the position in which the body
had been deposited, which manifestly proved that it had
been first cut into pieces, and then placed in the hole in
which it was found, as on any other supposition it
would have been impossible to force it into an circum-
scribed a space. As to the time at which it may have
been placed there can be but conjecture. The only
portion of clothing discoverable about the remains con-
sisted of part of • cotton stocking, which remained on
one of the leg bones ; there was also a quantity of
dark brown hair attached to the skull. Snip-Inspector
thaw attended the inquest, and liu commenced a
series of inquiries throughout the neighbourhood, which
it is hoped may ultimately lead to the discovery of this
mysteries and barbarous murder. Much interest is
manifested throughout the entire locality by all ranks
to obtain some clue to the victim and authors of tins
foul crime, the result of which will be duly commu-
nicated."

SWANAGE.

NEW TOWIt CLOCK.—FO? some years past we
have been sadly inconvenienced on account of the in-
accuracy of the church clock. It WM never one of
the most efficient, being one of those creatures of
the past age who did all their work with one hand,
and now having seen nearly a century of service, it
has long been evident that it must soon give way to
a more competent successor. This successor has mow
appeared in the shape of a very respectable looking
article, with the additional accommodation of bearing
two faces, from the factory of Mr. Dent, of London.
For this, which has been prscured, we understand,
at a cost upwards of £l3O, we are chiefly indebted
to the munificence dim eminent metropolitan magi&
trate, Mr. Jardine, who contributed a considerable
share of the cost, with the understanding that the
rest should be forthcoming immediately. This,
thanks to the indefatigable ezertions of Mr. Harman,
; who undertook to procure the necessary eon-
' tributions, has all been subscribed.

The publication of the budget of the Austrian War

to have prOduceil a painful impression. The public are
surprised to see 1,000.(Ke) florins set down in it for the
troops of the Duke of Modena, whom he took with him
Italy. The Austrians say that. as the Dif.se possesses
an immense fortune (the greater part of which is invested
in the Englishiunils), lie ought to pay for these troops,
and not throw the burden of doing so on the Austrian
taxpayer., who are grievously suffering from the supple-
ruentary war taxes. It is believed that the item will be
energetically protested against in the Council of the
Empire. The report that the Government inkndato

WAREHAM.

AN INSVOMIDINATE 'RIFLE CORP% —Some days
previous to the 13th of May the volunteers of the
Wareham Rule Corps received an invitation from the
Corporation to attend the parish church on the fol.
lowing Sunday morning, which, of course, was
accepted. A young man, one of the corps, gave
them at the same time an invitation (in behalf
of those who are dissenters in the corps) to attend
the ludependent Chapel in the evening of the same
slay, this was also accepted by the officers and men
present. when the arnmgement was made for the
men to assemble at a n'ebbek, in the Market-place, to
march to chapel, the Lieutenant promising to attend
with them. On the Saturday previous to this
arrangement being carried out, the young man who
gave the invitation for the corps to attend the chapel
was sent for toy the Lieutenant, who wished to be
releass.4 from his promise to accompany them to the
eliap3.4, as he hail received several letters stating it
was not customary for a Rifle Corps to attend chapel.
He was relieved of his promise, when he told them
they might go if they liked, and the Sergeant should
' accompany them. This being agreed to, the bugle
call was sounded at 6 o'clock, the men soon res.
ponded, when, to their surprise, the Lieutenant
came and dared the Sergeant to take them in a body.
but they. ru nnnn ing the risk of being tried by Court
Martial, marched in right good order to the old
Independent Meeting House, headed by some mem-
bers of the Corporation, the Deacons, and several
inlluential tradesmen belonging to the establish-
ment. The Rev. A. B. Randall preached an im-
pressive and appropriate sermon to them and to a
crowded congregation. On the Monday following
the Lieutenant wished to prove to the Captain that
they had disobeyed orders, when, happily for the
disaffected one, the matter was bushed up very
quietly.
