The last few fine days have caused more encou
raging accounts to reach Paris about the harvest. With the
exception of the districts of the Loire and Angela, the
accounts of the crops are such as to promise a more than
average harvest on the whole. Those beet able to estimate
the results of the harvest throughout France ray that
the crops of rye and oats are unusually full, whilst in
many districts wheat will be exported for the foreign
markets. The last week of warm sunny weather has brought
about these good results. We also learn that the corn
crops are very fine in Hungary and many parte of Germany ;
in fact, it is believed that the harvest throughout Europe
will be satisfactory.
A Swiss named Knudi has proved the best shot
at Frankfort, but a Tyrolese, Hohenegger, from Immure*
was so near upon him that they agreed to share the honour
of champion of the festival, and left off shooting last
Saturday, ready, however, to resume it should a compe-
titor for the supremacy venture to come forward. Not-
withstanding that the Tyrolese rifles are inferior to the
others, and that the Tyrolese themselves, during the first
days of the match, thought more of enjoying themselves
than of shooting, they have cut a very creditable figure
upon the whole. Up to Saturday they bed won 84 silver
cape. The Swim left on Friday, issuing, before they went,
a abort address of thanks for the welcome they had
received. •
Theladianßefotetersays that of late the Bengalee
press has become very active. " Every day almost a sew
volume, whether in prose or in verse, imam from the
vernacular prima, and Bengalee authors are already numbered
by hundreds." The works are said to be marked by
• " poverty of thought, meanness of conception, and effe-
minacy of style. Everyone who can write a decent letter
publishes a book; sod the man who can versify in jingling
rhyme sets himself up for a poet."

LATEST INTELIAUENOIL

RUSSIA.

The official journal (Northern Post) of the 20th
of July publishes a despatch from Dunaburg, a
city on the line of railway between St. Petersburg
and Warsaw, which announces that a great con-
flagration, in which more than 100 houses were
burned, took place on the 18th.

POLAND.

WABRAW, JOLT 25..

The Posen Casette contains the following :—" The
report of the discovery of a conspiracy at Warsaw
is confirmed. The conspirators are young men who
almost all belong to the working class. They are
divided into decuries, and each takes an oath of
blind obedience to his chief. The chairmen of the
decuries take the same oath to the head conspira-
tors. In consequence of this discovery about eighty
young men were arrested on Wednesday night. The
Grand Duke has not appeared in public since the
attempt made on his life. The President of the
Council of War, who condemned some officers td
be shot in the fortress of the citadel about a month
ago, was, it is positively statod, assassinated him-
self on the ground by some person who has not yet
been arrested. Some young men were arrested on
the 20th in one of the publishing houses of War-
saw, but the person most compromised escaped."
