FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY.

The .Moniteur of Brussels promulgates the law for
abolishing the octroi duties in Belgium, and which came
into operation on Saturday last.
The Toronto- Colonist says that the quartz mining
fever rage; with increasing violence, that half the people
are " prospeeting,'! and that everytorner is filled with
"specimens."
THE TELEGRAPH TO ALGERIA.—The steam-cor (efts
the Brandon left Toulon for Liverpool three days ago,
to bring to France the apparatus necessary for laying
the electric cable to Algeria.
ECONOMICAL &CFERSTITIONS ON THE CONTINENT:—
The Correctional Tribunal of Apt (Vaupluse) has just
condemned a money-lender, named Boudoire, ex-mayor
of Cabridres-d'Aignes, to 6,000 f. fine, and a month's im-
prisonment for usury.

The American Government, through Mr. Dallas, its
Minister, has presented to John Jenkins, late Lieutenant,
R. N., commanding her Majesty's gunboat Banterer, a
sword of honour, as a mark of its appreciation of the
gallant services rendered by him in China in numerous
engagements with the pirates.
The Augsburg Gazette states that the international
congress of chemists, which was to have been held last
spring, is definitively fixed to meet at Carlsruhe on the
3rd of September. Letters of invitation have been
addressed to all eminent chemists, and especially to pro-
fessors of chemistry in public schools and colleges.
The Montreal Gazette reports that the preparations
for the royal banquet were proceeding with a great deal
of energy ; and the Ottawa Citizen states that the lum-
berers propose to man 100 canoes, each crew in uniform,
and banners flying at the sterns: The largest canoe
will be for the Prince, and thus escorted they will con-
vey him the length of Lake Duchesne and back again.
M. Itevoltella, the banker at.' Tricstc, who Was impli-
cated in the military frauds committed on the Austrian
Government, has been set at liberty, as the bankers
Mondolfo and Branib illa had been before him. The
only persons now undergoing preventive imprisonment
for this affair are MM. Richter, Perugia, Liehman, and
Prusser. -

ANtst Corry ERT.—In one of the trains which
arrived at Paris the other day from Marseilles, was a
young Chinese, in full national costume—red trousers,
blue robe, and a long tail. He was accompanied by a
priest, and, having been converted to Christianity, has
been brought to Paris to complete his religious educa-
tion. The language in which he conversed with his;
companion was Latin.
FRENCH CmAm.—An imperial decree or the 14th
instant fixes the selling price of cigars, whether made
in Havanna, Manilla, or France. The prices vary from
sc. to 50c. each. The same decree authorises the
administration to sell to consumers, in whole boxes or
packets, every description of tobaoto or snuff made in
the imperial manufactories. The small Havanna cigars
called " Damas" will continue to lie sold at the old
price of 10c. till the stock in hand is exhausted.
AUSTRIAN ARMAMENTS IN ITALY.—Art arsenal is now
being organised at Peschiera, by order of the Emperor
Francis Joseph, to serve as a depot for the flotilla of the
.Lake of Garda. Workmen continue to be employed in
building and fitting out war-steamers and gunboats.
Peschiera moreover, have barracks for MA men,
and bomb-proof storehouses for ammunition and other
supplies. Out of the fifteen gunboats now on the lake,
three serve as patrols, five for the advanced posts, and
five for the reserve.

ORNITHOLOGICAL CURIOSITY.—A ROUT' journal
relates a curious incident :—One of the inhabitants of
Sainr.eville, near that city, possesses a large cat, which
for slatime was in the habit of attacking the nests of
W swaleneath the cornice of a house, and devouring
the birds. Three days ago she was basking in the sun
in the open air, when a number of swallows, uttering
piercing cries, attacked her, striking with their beaks.
The cat at first endeavoured to catch some of them, but
failed, and, at last, was forced to retreat, so violent was
the attack of her irritated assailants.

RUSSIAN ACQUISITIONS ON THE MOOR.—Russia has
obtained a territory more valuable than ali the supposed
cotton districts of Africa, watered by hundreds of streams
flowing into the great artery that passes 'through its
entire length. The climate is good and well suited for
Eurvans ; its animals belong to both _the cold and
warmregions, while its luxuriant herbage and magni-
ficent flora prove that the temperature is neither severe
in winter nor excessively hot in summer. It is possible
that some of these great plains may be suited for the
Culture of the cotton plant ; if so, a supply of this
valuable product will ere long be found at the Russian
;ports in the-Sea of Japan and in the Gulf of Tartary.—

A Naples letter of the 17th rust. says :—To judge
from the public voice and the outward appearance of
things, one would be inclined to say that the existence
of Francis 11. was not worth an ihour's purchase.
" An inventory has been made of the royal property,"
says one person. " and what- can be embarked has been
sent off." " The Spanish Minister was with the royal
family on Friday," says another, " and an asylum on
board the Spanish vessels was talked of and arranged."

"No more of the Bourbons," cries a third, and—it is
reiterated by the Piazza and the cafés, " They have
deceived us three times, and we will no longer believe

them."
PANIC IN PRESENCE or THE POPE.—A letter
from Rome of the 17th says :--" The Pope repaired to
the Church of the Jesu on Sunday morning to adminis-
ter the - Sacrament to the faithful, in honour of the
miraculous picture of the Madonna, which had been
transported thither from the Church of Santa Maria
Maggiore on the preceding Sunday. The crowd in
the church was very great, and suffocating from the
press of persons anxious to receive theconsecrated wafer
from the hands of the Supreme Pontiff. An English lady,
long resident in Rome, Miss Clavering, eager to approach
his Holiness, was thrust back from the altar rails
somewhat too violently by a Swiss guard. The lady
screamed and fainted. A slight disturbance took place
in consequence immediately around her ; the more
distant spectators saw the commotion, and, imagining
something horrible had taken place, fled from the church
as fast as the crush at the doorway would allow them.

The Pope and his attendants had sufficient presence of
mind to turn round and make reassuring gestures to the
terrified congregation, thaboldest'of whona resumed their
seats in consequence, whilst the more timid rolled over
each other down the steps into the piazza, and fled
rapidly to their respective homes."
THE DRUSES CLAIM SECRET RELATIONS WITH THE
SCOTCH.—A still more extraordinary belief exists
amongst the Druses of the mountain—namely, that
there are many Akkals of their creed in the hills of
Scotland, who, on account of the dominant religion,
are obliged to Profess Christianity outwardly, but who,
amongst_themselves, are as pure Druses of the initiated
class as any that exist in Lebanon. After learning that
I was a Scotchman, *uses have often questioned me as
to whether I was aware that members of 'their creed
existed in that country. This tradition seems to have
been handed down to the present generation from the
days of the Crusaders, arid to have got mixed up with
the fact that the Templars existed formerly in certain
parts of Europe ; for certain ceremonies which the
Syrian Drases say are practised by their Scottish
brethren bear a close resemblance to those of the old
Knights Templar. But it is more likely still—and this
'is very probably one of the reasons of their supposed
affinity with the Chinese—that amongst the Druses, as
amongst other semi-civilised nations, certain affiliations
and signs of freemasonry have crept in ; and they have
formed the idea that wherever traces of the same society
exist the people hold the , same religious creed.—Once a

DCBL ABOUT GARIBALDI'S BIRTHPLACE.—A duel
was fought on last Tuesday, at a place called Marshep
Point, a few miles from Baltimore, between " two
gentlemen," to quote. a Sunday contemporary, "of
advanced years, residents of New York, and well known
in the community." The 'principals in this affair were
Mr. Thomas J. Bryan, a Philapelphian, and proprietor
of the Gallery of Christian Art, in Broadway, and Mr.
Samuel M. Neal, of New York. The difficulty, as we
are reliably informed, arose out of the following circum-
stances :—A party of gentlemen, including Messrs.
Bryan and Neal, were discussing the birthplace of Gari-
baldi, in the New York Club-house, when' Mr.. Neal
asserted that he was a SCOtehMall. Mr. Bryan asked him
on what authority he made the declaration, when Neal
replied that he had read the statement in a newspaper.
To this Mr. Bryan
rejoined that he might have seen in
-
"cow jumped over the moon ;"
the newspapers that the
whereupon Mi. Neal struck him. Mr. Bryan stepped
immediately into an adjoining room, and wrote a note,
demanding prompt satisfaction for the insult, which
was duly delivered to Mr. Neal. This was not accepted,
on the ground that there was a law of New York making
the sending or receiving of a challenge a high penal
offence. Mr. Bryan, however, declined to retract the
challenge, except on the condition, that it should be
renewed out of the State of New York. This was
acceded to ; the parties with their friends went into
New Jersey, the challenge was repeated and accepted,
when after some delay and perplexity in finding a
suitable place for the encounter, the point named
above —about seventeen miles from Baltimore—was
Selected. After all preliminaries had been arranged
satisfactorily, the principals were placed in position, and
the weapons—pistols—put in their hands when the
word was given. Mr. Bryan fired at the word " One,"
his ball hitting the pistol arm of his antagonist, passing
it, striking a rib, and then glancing round and coming
out at the back. The friends of the parties then inter-
posed, and, the combat was terminated.--Philadelphia

the fifty-one days from the 15th .M.ay to the 6ti h inst.,

THE HARVEST IN FRANCE.—We find the f-'ollowing
in the Indeparing of Saintes :—" The crol le have
already begun to be cut in our neighbourhood; tl ..te corn
is round and well filled. It will very likely be a far
better harvest than that of last year. The wine► has:
passed bloom ; there is very little loss. It can be ts?tict:
that the vintage is safe : it will be very abundant h.
and surpass that of 1858."
A Dutch squadron, composed of_ three steam-frigates;.-

Damascus was one -of the first victims of the-misiacre

Cvnious CASE.—M. Bronner, a commercial broker,,
at the Bourse of Paris, bargained, in August last, to sell •.
his office to a person named Wallon for 110,000 f., of*
which 60,000 f. were to be pilid down, and the remainder :
in five years ;. but when, according to law, the agree-
ment was submitted to the Minister of Commerce, his
excellency required a reduction of 10,000 f. to be made
in the price. On that, M. Bronner declared to the Syn-
dical Chamber that he would retain his office, or at least.
that he would only dispose of it on receiving the 100,000 f.
down; and Mr. Wallon, •on his part, notified to the;
Chamber that he was ready to pay that sum at once.
But the day after Bronner wrote to Wallon to say that
in consequence of the reduction required by the Minister,_
he should consider their agreement null and void ; yet,
two days later, he informed him that he had sold his
office to another person. Under these circurostanz;es;
Wallon, on - Saturday, brought an action before the
Civil Tribunal against Bronner to obtain 2.5,000 f.
damages ; and the Tribunal, considering that thole,-
Bronner would have been justified in retaining the office:
himself,' he ought not,' after what had taken place, to
have sold it to any one but IVallon, ordered him to pay
10,000 f. damages, unless indeed within a week he should
get Wallon installed in the office, on the payment by
that person of the 100,000 f. _ _ _

AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS.—It is now a well-attested
fact that Mr. Buchanan became President through cor-
ruption. Money, familiarly known as a "corruption
fund," first distilled in small drippings from clerks and
petty officials, was 'swollen by the larger contributions
of merchants and contractors, and with this accumula-
tion votes were purchased in the streets of Philadelphia
enough to turn the election in that great metropolis, and
in the chain of cause and effect to assure the triumph
of the democratic candidate. I. speak now only whit
has ' been proved, and it is_ known to all of you as.
well as to myself.- Fraudulent naturalisation pipets in%
blank, by which this was perpetrated, have been pro-
duced before a committee of Congress. It was natural:
that an administration thus corrupt in: origin should
-continue to exercise power throUgh the same corruption
by which power .was gained ; but nothing less than that
insensibility to acts of shame which is bred by famili-
arity can explain how all this should be done with such
absolute indecency of exposure—w earing scarcely so much
as a fig-leaf.' A letter from a local politician, addressed
to the ,President himself, urging without. disguise the
giving of a large contract for machinery to 'a particular
house in Philadelphia, employing ,160. mechanics, with a
view to the approaching, election, was enclosed to the
Secretary of the Navy with this en iorsement, in. a well-
known handwritin.g : " Sept. 15,1858:-.--The enclosedlettar
from Col. Patterson, of Philadelphii I, is submitted to the
attention of the Secretary of the Navy. J. B." - Thus did the
President of the Milted States, by an. official aot, now of
record in the history of the couietry, recommend the
employment of the public money, feet apart for the pub-
lic service, to influence an electio'a. Here was corrupe
tion as positive as when his supporters purchased vote'
in the streets. From one, learn all : and from such $
characteristic instance learn the character of the admin'
istration. But there are other well-known instances,
and the testimony before the congressional committee
discloses the PreSident, on Sundays, in secret _conclave'
with one of his' corrupt agents, piously occupied in die'
cussing the chances of an election, and how its expenses
were to be met; while, at the same, time, like another
Joseph Surface, he was. uttering in public fine sentiments
of political morality, and lamemting tl to prevalence of the.
corrupt practices in which he 17fire en gaged —Speech of

A Naw BORGIA. A W0.,-tAisr ,SPECULATING.
HUSBANDS.—A short, time since a: woman who gave.
her name as Mrs. Leroy arrived in this city in search'
of her, husband, one WilliaM H. Levy% whom sliee
represented as having run away from her .at Lafayette?.
Indiana, taking with him a large amount of ninnef
belonging to' her. She had been travelling' on the'
charity of the Masonic fraternity, and received all the aid
fran officers that could be rendered in helping her to lnd •
her husband, who:never ran away from her, and whom
she is now suspected of having murdered. After- two
weeks of stay in the city, during which time she MO&
herself generally obtrusive, she prepared to depart, haer-
ing entrusted a letter to an acquaintance who was not
over and above stupid, for deposit in the Post-office-
The letter was deposited as directed ; but a copy ofit•
remained in the hands. Of the messenger; reading as fole•
lows : " Detroit, June 15.7-JiM :.Oh, if I hain't got.

soon as your feet will carry you there. Jim, I-got''
in with an old buck, and he wants me to marry ;.

has sent for- my trunk, and had it directed. to'
Port Huron. I can't tell all ; but come as soon as'.
possible, or write to me and tell me what to do. From
NETIIE." The matter was taken in hand by Gunning
and Blodgett; private detectives, who immediately com-
municated-with officers in Port Huron, thus establishing
a watch on the female. A day or two afterwards-she
arrived at that place in company with a Prussiau,
named Charles Fenner, with whom she Jived as his
wife until last Friday morning, when he was found
dead in -his bed, murdered by her with morphine, or
some other drug. A forged conveyance of all hie
property was exhibited by her, and also -a fraudulent
marriage certificate; signed by a Baptist minister
.in Detroit who never had an existence. She was imme-
diately arrested and committed for the murder. Papers
which were-found under the carpet in her room -furnish-
ground for the suspicion that her lost husband was dis-•
posed of in the same manner. As was remarked by an.
officer who was cognisant of the case, " she made a.
miserable job of it," and was fastened for a certainty at•
the-first suspicion. The woman evidently thought her-'
self capable of doing the murder business in wholesale•
and first-class style, by the way she went at it ; 'but the'
result showed bow tar inexperienced calculations go'
astray,—Detroit .Free Press, July 4. •

NEW INVENTION.--TD NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.--.A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with,--the'
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new ',,fountain pen," just introduced by Hadhall,
and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writing ntb, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfect',"
clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature
'in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes,
quick writiug. The pen itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will
be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall,
South John-street, and • can pronounce. it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour,
