THE BRAZILS.
BUENOS AYRES, JULY 23.

The financial measures proposed by the govern-
ment passed the second reading in the Chamber of
Deputies on the 22nd, and will probably pass the
third reading by the end of the month, so that the
discussion in the Senate will commence at the be-
ginning of August.
In the Chamber of Deputies the Cabinet have a
large majority, but in the Senate they are at the
mercy of their political adversaries, the conserva-
tives and the radicals.

Dates from Paraguay reach to the Bth inst.
Both the army and the fleet were ready for battle,
and were awaiting only the word of the Com-
mander-in-Chief, which was momentarily expected,
when very heavy rains set in and compelled the
Marquis of Caxiaa to adjourn active operations for
a few days, as the ground became so much soaked
as to render the march of an army a very difficult
affair.

ITALY.

A letter from Sienna, in the Turin Gaunt, says :

Garibaldi made a second speech as a meeting which took
place in the Montemaggi Theatre. He repeated what he
said from the balcony of the Black Bogle Hotel, that Italy
could not go to Rome without the House of Savoy, and
that that hones could alone lead her there.

According to the Movistesto, there are 584 officers in
the Papal army-410 Italian. 106 French, 40 Swiss, 12
German, 6 Belgian, 4 li.sh, 2 Dutch, 2 **tallish, and 2
Polish. There are 8 generals. The entire arms amounts
to 13,000 men.

fish, stranded on the south end of the Dogger Bank.
A steam-tug and a pilot boat passed aloes to the
smack u she got 'shore, bat owing to the heavy
seas they were unable to render soy assistance.
Her apsh of distress were, however, °hearted from the
shore, and the Civil Service lifeboat of the National Life-
boat Instituf.ion was launched without delay, endow nearing
the sands found the rare labouring heavily. With some
difilcully the lifeboat got clam enough to the week to
rescue the crew of four men, who were then brought
safely ashore. The cost of this valuable lifeboat, which
was stationed at Warlord about fifteen months since,
was the gift to the National Lifeboat Institution
of gentlemen connected with the civil service of the crown
through James A. Dow, Seq., and Malcolm Goldsmith,
Seq., of the Admiralty. The boat has already been the
means of saving the lives of 40 porton; belonging to the

Since Saturday the barometrical pressnee has increased over
the British Wes, considerably in the north east ; tt la now de-
creasing in the south. Winds age light and variable. Weather
is cloudy, and ra'n has Mien I. places.

It is stated that, after mature consideration, the
Rey. W. J. Dampier, vicar of Coggeshall, Essex, has de-
clined the srcbdeacoory of Grafton, New South Wales.
The rev. gentleman does not, therefore. propose to go out
with the Bishop of Grafton and Annidale, although one of
his daughte.s will accompany the bishop in the capacity of
a deaoonews.

finNoirnmazn SHOOTING STAIRS.—MT. Richard
A. Proctor, F.R.A.S., writes thus to a contemporary
on this subject:—" As respects the prospect of our having
a good view of the shooting eters this year in England,
we must remember that, neglecting a small change
of position in the band itself, and &reaming that
the part we shall cross this year is similarly
constituted to the pert we crossed last year (now hun-
dreds of millions of miles away), yet—a year consisting
of about 365} days, while only 365 days separate
November 14, 18b7, from November 14, 1566—it will be
some Ave or six hours later in the day when the earth
next plunges into the stream than it was when the
earth hat commenced the pismire. This would tend to
throw the region over which the display should be well
seen considerably towards the west. I believe, however,
that there will be a display this year in England, which
will attain its maximum shortly before sunrise on the
morning of November 14. Those who wish to assist in the
determination of the radiant point should familiarise
themselves beforehand with the constellations which wi'l
be above the horizon on that morning. At half-past two,
as half-pest four, and at half Test six, the constellations
visible will be those presented in maps 1,2, and 3, respect-
ively of my ' Constellation Seasons.' The moon being
nearly full on the morning of the 14th, the meteors will
Probably not present so brilliant an appearsnee as they did
Lit year."
