THE DAY'S NEWS.

The Moniteur of yesterday says :—" The Sultan
has addressed the following letter to the
Emperor, under date of July 16th : I -'have.
at heart that your Majesty should know with what
grief I have learned of the events in Syria. Let
your Majesty be convinced that I shall employ
all my powers for establishing security and
order in Syria, and that I shall severely punish the
guilty parties, whoever they may be, and render justice
to all. In order to leave no doubt whatever on the
intentions of my government, I have entrusted that im-
portaut mission to my Minister for Foreign Affairs, witli
whose principles your Majesty is acquainted. "
In Paris the prospect of intervention iu the East is
considered less imminent. The news from General Tro-
chu's expedition at the head of 4,000 men is denied, and
the rumour is traced to the report of an officer that at
least that force would be required if intervention
should be decided upon. It is said in Bullier' s Corres-
pondence that the objections of England had delayed
active measures. Even M. Grandguillot's article, which
occasioned uneasiness at the Bourse, confirms the idea
that no intervention has yet been decided upon.

An official letter frOm Turin states that a rising in
the marches of the Romaa States is considered immi-

The Paris correspondent of the Guardian reports a
speech of the Vicomte de Kerveguen, who would seem
to be a French Sir Charles Napier in the way of
exposing real or alleged shortcomings in naval affairs.
After exposing many abuses and hardships in the system
of pay and pensions and the personnel of the service, he
attacked the materiel itself. The Government was
evidently very much discomposed by the exposure, as
all governments are apt to be on such occasions.

Official accounts from Naples, received by the French
Government, state that as soon as the reactionary
movement of the 15th instant occurred, the ministers
went in a body to the King, and insisted upon resigning,
unless the authors of the riot were arrested and brought
to a court-martial. The King at once went to all the
barracks, harangued the troops, and made all the officers
and soldiers take an oath to be faithful to the constitu-
tion. The next day the Corps Diplomatique called upon
the King to congratulate him.
Yesterday, the Lord Chancellor delivered judgment
on the Ilminster Grammar School case, which involves
the question of Dissenters being appointed trustees of a
school for educating children, according to 'the rule of
the Church of England. The Lord Chancellor and
Lord Cranworth agreed with the decision of the Master
of the Rolla, that Dissenters might be appointed. Lords
Wensleydale and Chelmsford upheld the Lords Justices,
who had reversed the decision of the Master of the
Rolls. The Lord Chancellor said that, as their lord-
ships were equally divided, the appeal must be dismissed,
and the judgment of the Lords Justices affirmed, but
without costs.

A telegram in the .Evening Post states that a meeting
of the constituency will shortly be held in Galway for
the purpose of calling upon Mr. John Orrell Lever to
place his resignation in the hands of the electors.
We are sure the public will heartily join in con-
gratulating Lord Clyde upon his safe return to England,
loaded with wealth and honours. Lord Clyde has
unquestionably fulfilled the great mission upon which
he started at a few hours' notice just three years since•

To-day we have barely space left in this part of our
columns to refer our readers to the numerous and
lengthened reports we give elsewhere of local meetings
held yesterday, especially to that of the important
meeting of the Dock Board; and also to our telegraphic
report of the proceedings in Parliament last night.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARTS, Wednesday,, July 18.

At the risk of being thought to devote too
much of the space allotted to me, to the unpre-
cedented debate in the Legislative 'Chamber on
the Budget, I am tempted to give you an extract
from the authorised version of the speech of M.
Granier de Cassagnac on that subject :
In order to appreciate the Budget under dis-
cussion," said this hon. deputy, speaking in behalf
of the Government, " there are two things neces-
sary—to consider it, and to compare it—to con-
sider it in itself, and to compare it 'with that of
thoSe countries which are the richest and the best
administered. The only country to which France
can be compared, as regards its finances, is Eng-
land. Our Budget is one of 1,840 millions—that
of England, which amounts only to 1,740 millions,
appears at the first blush to have an advantage
over ours, inasmuch as its total amount is 100
millions less than ours. But the advantage is
only apparent ; and if we go to the root of the
matter, it will be discovered that the English
Budget in reality exceeds ours by at least 400
millions. The fact is, the French Budget com-
prises all the services ; the English Budget omits
a number of very heavy services. In the first
