"M. niers," says the Journal de Rotten, "who
is palming the vacation a few leagues from l'aris, is stated
to be preparing two great speeches—one political, on the
general state of Europe, and the other treating of the Goan
did condition of the country in its entirety, the conse-
quence of the exaggerated extension of all constructions of
an ornamental character and the precipitate prosecution of
so many undertakings."
The Journal de Nice states that the weather has
suddenly become much colder in that neighbourhood, and
that snow lies appeared on the higher Alps.
" The island of Caprera," a Florence letter in the
Liberti states, " is to be guarded by a cruiser of the royal

The precautions taken in France with a view to
war are said, by many writers, to multiply in proportion
to the increased chances of peace. Charicari expreres

ARRIVAL OF THE CRAFT JOHN FORD IN THE
THAMEB.—Yesterday the Dublin steamer an ived in the
river with the celebrated small deck schooner-rigged boat,
John T. Ford, which made such a pei ileum and fatal voyage
acror the Atlantic, oa board. The boat, which is scarcely
2i tons, left Baltimore, it may be remembered, for Havre,
in order to be exhibited in Paris. On reaching within some
30 or 60 miles of Cork the craft capsized, in consequence
of the ballast shifting, and the crew of four hands clung
to the bottom for several days, undergoing the most dread-
ful suffering. Three of them perished, and Andrew
Armstrong, the sureivor, was picked up by the ship
Areolite, when he was nearly on the brink of death. A
few days afterwards the boat was cast upon the coast
of Ireland, near Wexford, and, remarkable to state, her
compass, barometer, some tins of provisions, and other
stores, were found in her uninjured, as also her
papen, and some letters from her Majesty's ship Royal
Alfred, at Halifax. A few friends, beaded by the Rev.
Mr. Oreatorex, of the Sailors' Home, subonibed the neces-
sary funds to enable Armstrong to bring the boat to
London, and it is stated that the directors of the Crystal
Palace have intimated their intention to allow him to ex-
hibit the craft for the benefit of the orphans of those wbo
were lost. The boat has suffered a little by being brazed
against the rocks, but in other respects she is perfect. She
has no bulwarks. On her stern she has a gilt eagle's bead.
Considering the character of the craft, it is a miracle bow
she ever got so far across the Atlantic as she did.

SINGULAR ACCILPKNT TO VALIJABLZ HOMER.—
As accident occurred last Sunday to two bones belonging
to G. P. Holmes, Esq., of Arundel, so remarkable in its
character that it is worth recording. The two animals—
sae a valuable chestnut hunter and the other • clever
riding mare—were in the field g►lloping in • playful
manner, and both were miring nearly parallel, and appa-
rently making for on• point, when they "cannoned "—or
rather came into collision at the angle, and were each
thrown on the ground by the violence of the con-
eusaion. Both horses were stunned, and the chestnut
horse—which, by-the-bye, has taken one or two prizes at
the Sussex horse shows—died shortly afterwards from the
effects of the blow. The other animal is no much injured
by the concussion that no hope is entertained alit. being of
further us.. It seems that the horses came together at
the shoulders. The chestnut hone was valued at about
2001., and both were exhibited at the reeent Southern
Counties Association at Brighton.— West busses Casette.
