TH UNDERRTORM. —On Friday afternoon a very
heavy thunderstorm broke over the north-east coast. At
Ryhope, near Sunderland, two stacks of wheat were de-
stroyed by the lightning. The fine showers that have
' been felling in the counties of Durham and Northumber-
land since Tuesday have produced an almost magical effect
upon the pastures and the face of the country, the air
being exceedingly mild and warm. The weather took a
stride last week from bleak wintry winds to summer heat.
The food prospects have vastly improved since Tuesday,
and hay and other fodder fer cattle, which way at famine
price ten days ago, were comidg down rapidly in Newcastle
market on Saturday.

THE SYRIAN EXPEDITION.

TheConstilutiennel of to-day ham an article signed by
M. Grandguillot, congratulating the London Times
on the leading article on Syria, published in that
journal yesterday. "The language of the Times,"
says M. Grandguillot, " seems to be in accordance
with British feelings, and to express the real policy
of the Foreign Office." The Constitutionsiel also
says :—" The expedition which France has been
preparing for the last three days with marvellous
despatch will, as a matter of necessity, be carried
oat. The early departure of our troops may be
expected. The part of France will be neither that
of occupation nor intervention. We are about to
give our support to Turkey, to assist her in repress-
ing disorders which would infallibly re-
stilt in the loss of the Turkish empire.
The Eastern question, as it at present stands, does
not appear to be susceptible of dividing Europe; but,
on the contrary, of uniting the European Powers
for the defence of interests and principles which
impose the same obligations on all the Christian
states."

MARSEIL'LIA JULY Z.

OONSTAYTINOPLE (vii JULY 18.
The ambassadors have received accounts of the
recent massacres at Damascus.
The Druses and Bedouins, in returning to
Kamer (0, passed through Damascus, and proposed
a general massacre of the Christians to Abd-el-
Hader, who refused to countenance it. The inha-
bitants, however, became accomplices in the mur-
der of the Christians. The other details are in
accordance with those already known.
It is confirmed that some of the Turkish soldiers
assisted the assassins. Their general, Ahmed Bey,
took to flight, but the other authorities remained
in the fortress.
The Turkish reinforcements sent to Syria are
said not to exceed 6,000 men, as it is not possible
to withdraw the troops from Roumelia on account
of the agitation prevailing there.
Sir Henry Bulwer has received a telegram from

'TELLIG:

THE FIGHTING IN SICILY.—ABANDON-
MENT OF THE ISLAND BY THE KING.
(mom omt oirs couseronsier.)

NAPLES, JOLT 21.

The Mouette, French war steamer, arrived yes-
terday morning from Palermo, as also the Troquois,
United States steamer, and we have an influx of
Sicilian intelligence. There had been three en-
gagements near Messina, in the first of which Gari-
baldi's forces suffered severely. A telegram from
the theatre of war, dated Mire, July 17, 2 a.m.,
thus speaks :

" =MCI TO THE DICTATOR..

" The enemy renews the attack with greater
energy and greater form Three thousand
men are fighting on our right against
five hundred of ours. The fight lasts for, more
than two hours with a well-maintained fire. The

enemy has bombs and cannons, with positions well
chosen ; he resists energetically. Two rcharges
with the bayonet on the part of our men decide
the (lay. The enemy retire to Milano; has suf-
fered severe losses in killed and wounded. We a
few killed, but a great number wounded. We have
made some prisoners. The spirit of the volunteers
is admirable.

" The most devoted chief,
"ANTONIO LUDARO.
(Extract.) "The Secretary of State,

"Palermo, July 18." "Calm
"THE GENERAL MEDICI TO THE GON =HOZ OF

C/JALUP.

"BARCELONA, JINX 17, 7.15. p.m.

"The enemy endeavoured to turn my extreme
right. I sent four companies against him. Most
animated battle. The enemy, with a force of
2,000 men, with artillery and cavalry, was repulsed.
He retired on Milazzo. Our loss, seven killed,
several wounded. That of the enemy more con-
siderable."
The Amason has arrived from Genoa with a
large number of volunteers. The Dictator left
Palermo, on board the City of Aberdeen, with a
strong contingent. He places himself at the head
of the army which is operating in the province of
Messina.

To this information I add what might have well
preoeded it, the earlier news of the movements of
Medici's troops. There had been an engagement
before the two just described, but as it was disas-
trous to Medici's forces, the details were not pub-
lished.

Garibaldi has received an accession:of two fine
steamers from England, one called the British
Vulcan, and a considerable sum of money. Kos-
&nth's staff had arrived.

After Post —Before you receive this you will
have had my despatch announcing that in to-day's
council it has been decided to abandon Sicily, the
King wishing to spare the effusion of more blood.
Garibaldi had attacked Milano.

MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livaarooc, JULY 25.—A fair amount of
business has been done to-day, with prime in some instances
rather in favour of the buyer. The sales are 8,000 bales, in-
eluding 8,580 American, at 3141. to 41. ; 1,000 Surat, at
2/(1. to 4al. ; 300 Egyptian, at Bd. to 100. ; 50 Perham,

speculatmn and export. The week's import is 39,828 bales.

OORN.—Srocieme.on.Tria, JULY 25.—During the past
week a great deal of lain has fallen, the low lands in this
neighbourhood are under water, and the temperature has
again fallen considerably. To this day's market there was
a small supply of grain from the farmers. Wheat sellers
asked an advance of 4s. per quarter ; the whole was however
cleared off at fully 2s. per qr. over last week's currency.
Foreign sold at a like improvement. In the value of spring
corn there was no quotable variation. Imports during the
past week :—Wheat, coastwise, 420 qrs., foreign, ~010
qrs. ; oats, cosateriae, 680 qrs. ; foreign, 645 ; rye, foreign,
500 qrs.

Giatoow, JULY 25.—This day's market was better at-
tended by country buyen than for some time past, but the
advance quoted for wheat was reluctantly paid, and holders
being firm, only a moderate extent of business resulted.
For sack dour previous rates could scarcely he exceeded,
except in retail, but it was generally held. for Is. per sack,

THE FAILURES IN THE LEATHER TRADE.

MEETING OF CREDITORS OF MEM& BTkEAT•

FEED, LAURENCE, AND MORTIMOIL

•
The meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Streat-
feild, Laurence, and Mortimore, leather and hide
factors, who stopped payment on the 2nd of July,
was held yesterday. The attendance of creditors was
numerous and influential, and the proceedings ex-
cited the greatest interest. Mr. David Ward
Chapman, of the firm of Overend, Gurney, and
Co., presided. It appears from the explanations
proffered by Mr. Turquand, the accountant (of the
firm of Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co.), that
the ascertained liabilities amount to 744,4481.,
whilst the assets are estimated on papa' at
214,1401. This would show nearly six shil-
lings in the pound, but this amount is
by no means expected to be realised. The
history of the firm is a remarkable one. Its
profits have been very large, averaging in 1858 and
1869 about 40,0001. per annum. Its embarrassments
appear to have arisen through supporting numerous
other houses in the same aside. Once engaged
with them, it was obliged to go on providing them
with means. The fatal tendency of this policy is
shown in the growth of the involvements from
386,0001. in 1857. when the firm was solvent, to the
present large amount. For example, Mr. J. H.
Smith, and Messrs. Smith, Patient, and Smith,
who lately stopped, arc large debtors to Messrs.
Streatfeild and Co. ; Messrs. Draper and Co., of
Kenilworth, who were one of the first firms to
stop, were indebted to Messrs. Streatfeild to the
extent of 60,0001. Their embarrassments brought
the difficulties of the larger house to a climax. Thu
usual facilities of discount were cut off, and a
stoppage became inevitable. The manner in which
the enormous increase in the liabilities between
1867 and 1860 was occasioned not being by any
means clearly understood by the creditors present,
a, great variety of questions were asked of the
accountant, which he answered to the best of his
ability. The prevailing opinion amongst the more
influential creditors appeared to be that a searching
investigation is requisite. It was at hurt announced
by Mr. D. W. Chapman that his firm had come to
the determination to place the estate in the Bank-
ruptcy Court. Mr. Chapman expressed his regret,
as • matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, and of
dividend, that this course should be necessary, but
he thought something was due to justice and to the
public interest. His motion to this effect was
seconded by Mr. M. H. Chator, deputy chair-
man of the National Discount Company, and
was negatived by a large majority. Mr. Chap-
man intimated, however, that the majority ap-
plied only to the number of creditors, and
not to the amount of the claims. He therefore
should not alter his determination and had already
given instructions accordingly. It was intimated
that a similar course would be pursued with regard
to the Liverpool firm, at the instance of bankers in
that town.

BELGIUM.

The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Wed-
nesday was extremely animated. The address to
the King, which was to be presented to his Ma-
jesty at three o'clock this (Saturday) afternoon, on
the occasion of the 29th anniversary of his acces-
sion, was read to the Chamber ; and the final vote,
abolishing the octrois, or town dues, was taken. The
address was received with enthusiasm, and re-
peatedly interrupted by the applause of the audi-
ence. The following is an extract :
There are political crimes which enlightened nations have
not to fear. In the centre of the civilkation of Europe
as she now is, governments do not trample under foot all
that the human nameless* respects. In our dap the blood
of nations is not sonandand to shield a throne which
millions of men unanimously surround with their venera-
tion and their gratitude. Attempts are not made to
assassinate a nationality full el life and strong in its good
right, in universal esteem, and in the solemn engagements
of all Europe. If one day, sire, it were pomible that all
the rigida and duties which exist between governments
as between nation could be disregarded : if your crown,
or liberties, oar holy independence and our native land,
were menaced, Belgium, at the summons of the King,
would know how to defend her national treasury as a free
and virtuous people defends all that it holds most sacred.
She has bad long enough experience of foreign domina-
tion ; long enough were her rights, her dignity, her riches,
her rank, sacrificed to other interests than her own. Her
head will never again bend beneath a yoke she detests and
has for ever broken. In the hour al peril her courage will
notremain isolated. The faith of treaties, the interest and
independence of Europe, are not vain words. A cause to
which no honest men of any country OM remain indifferent,
will never be in danger of perishing or of lacking defenders.
Continue, sire, to preside with confidence over our
destinies. Faithful and devoted, Belgium will remain
worthy of herself and of her King.
For several minutes after the conclusion of this
address the most vehement applause resounded in
the Chamber.

DIACI/IJARS BRIDGE.

List night, shortly before nine o'clock, great
eseitensest was reused amongst the numerous passengers
and in the 'team-boats peening under BLickfriars•
irming to the following determined attempt made by
• man and his sister to commit self-murder. It
appears that a man named emerge Want, who
works at a wool warehouse in Thames.street, re-
seeded to his sister's in Holland.street, Blackfnars-
read, to supper, and whilst there a quarrel 'rage from some
cause, and, getting into • great passion, he swore he would
go and drown himself. The female said if he did she
would& the mine. The man then ran out in a state of frenzy,
and upon reachingthe first pier recess on the north-west side,
he piveipitated himself head-foremost over the buttress,
and fell into the water ; in his descent he must have struck the
pier head of the bridge, as his foot is broken acmes, and his
knee. and one of his shins are terribly cut. Mr. It. Ware,
the master of the steamboat pier, in order to give instruc-
tions to the men in the boats, as to the direction the man
was floating, went to the upper side of the bridge, when the
sister of the unfortunate man came rushing upon the bridge and
having mounted the seat of the recess made a violent attempt
to throw herself over also. Fortunately Mr. Ware managed
to mire bold of her, and after a desperate resistance oil her
part, he prevented her. Mr. Inspector King, of the river
police, and the men under his charge, succeeded in rescuing
the man, who was removed to fit. Bartholomew's Hospital,
where be remains without hopes of reccvery.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON

Lf'.

This (Saturday) morning, information wail re-
ceived by Mr. Carter, coroner for Surrey, of • frightful
accident which occurred at the New-crass Station of the
London and Brighton Railway to John Carpenter, a young
men, about 24 years of age, the son of Mr. Inspector
Carpenter, in the employ of the company. It appears that
the deceased, who was a ticket collector at the London-bridge
Railway Terminus, resided with his father at Deptford, and
on Fri. lay afternoon, about three o'clock, he entered the Se
cows star ion by a vide entrance, for tbe purpose of proceeding to
London. At this time there weirs two trains at the station,
an up-train and • dowadrain, and in order to avoid the
latter, he jumped immediately between the up-line of
rails, not bring aware that the up-train had already
started on its journey. Before, however, the un-
fortunate decemol could recover himself, he was
knocked down by the engine, the train pasting com-
pletely over him, mangling him in • frightful manner,
various portions of his Wily being picked op in different and
distant parts. The remains hating bum gathered up were
conveyed to a neighbouring tavern to await an inquest..

HAMMERSMITH.

His Royal Highness Princelcisraniof Saxe Weimar at.
tended to answer the summons of Mr. Willing, the lessee of
the Kensington turnpike trust, for unlawfully paming
through the Kensington gate with a chaise drawn by One
horse without paying the toll.
James Fawcett, a collector at the Kensington gate, stated
that on Saturday, the 30th ult., his royal highness drove up
in a four-wheel chaise with one horse, and upon witness de-
manding 3d. toll, he pleaded as an exemption that he was
going on duty as as officer in her Majesty's service. His
royal highness was dressed in uniform, but it was the prac.
tice of a7l officers in her Majesty's service to pay the toll
when driving in their private Vehicles.
His royal highness, to answer to the case, said he claimed
exemption under the Mutiny Act passed this year. He was
on his way to Kensington barracks on duty, and therefore
he claimed the exemption.
Mr. Ingham said he thought the exemption did not apply
to carriages unless belonging to her Majesty, or employed in
her service. If his royal highness had been riding on horse-
back then the question might have been a different one.
His royal highness was then ordered to pay 3d., the toll,
and 3. costs.
London, England, 1860-07-17

his stolen property had been disposed of by his dishonest
clerk, the purchaser had the audacity to ear that he pur-
chased it at a fair price, and set Mr. thiley at defiance.
He should be able to prove all those facts, as the prisoner
was seen with Woulliez in disposing of the property.
Mr. Combs asked whether the matter had not been in.
vertigated in another court!
Mr. Sleigh said that as far as the felony was concerned
this was the initiative. An action had been brought in the
Common Pleas in the City of London, by Mr. Gilley, the
present prosecutor, against Mr. Hart, to recover the pro-
perty purchased of Nt miller, and the prisoner was called as
a witness. The prisoner was then known to have assisted
in the robbery, but the prosecutor deferred prtssing the
charge against him until after the trial.
After some further evidence,
Mr. Combo told the prisoner he must be remanded for a
week, but he would accept hail, himself in 1,000/., and two
securities in 500/. each, for his appearance.
Bail not being forthcoming, he was removed in the van to

THE GREAT SOLAR SOUP= OP
TO-MORROW, JILT 18.
BT J. OLLIMHII4 11Q., 7.1.8.

This eclipse will rank among the most re-1
markable, as the time of absolute total eclipse is
very nearly the longest possible. The breadth of
the greatest shadow line possible is about 180 miles,
and in this eclipse it is about 130 miles, and its
passage over the earth about 7,000 miles, and the
interval of time from the shadow first tau° the
earth iu California and finally leaving it in t
is about three hours, and within this space t e
eclipse will be total.
The shadow will first touch the earth, or the
eclipse become visible, in the North Pacific Ocean,
sear the coast of Upper California ; from thence the
shadow will pass over North America, crossing
Hudson's Bay, Labrador, and the Atlantic. It will
first touch Spain at the bottom of the Bay of Bis-
cay; passing across in a line from north-west to
' south-east, over and nearly parallel to the river
Ebro. Leaving Spain between Valencia and Tortoni.,
it crosses the Mediterranean and the southernmost
of the Balearic Islands, and enters Africa between
Algiers and Constantine, and finally leaves the
earth near the shores of the Red Sea.

Considering the phases of the eclipse beyond the
limiting parallels of totality, near to them the
eclipse be almost total, and is more and more
removed from totality as the distance increaaes. In
England the magnitude of the eclipse may be
judged from the following considerations. If we
consider the diameter of the sun to be represented
by 100, then, at all those places situated on or near
a line joining London and Liverpool 83 parts of the
diameter of the sun will be obscured ;at places
situated near lines parallel to the above drawn
through Dublin and Edinburgh respectively, 87
such parts will be obscured on the former, and 79 on
the latter ; and at intermediate places, the magni-
tude will be intermediate. The greatest eclipse in
the British Isles will therefore be in Ireland, and the
smallest in Norfolk.

The point of the sun's border on which the moon
will find impinge is situated on the right hand and
a little below a horizontal line drawn through his
centre, and the last contact will be at a point on
the left hand, or eastern border above the hori-
zontal line passing through his centre.
The following are the times of the beginning,
middle, and ending of the eclipse, in local time, at
each place :

therefore of the utmost importance, both as regarded this

The Earl of ELLE/4EOEOIMR said that, as to existing
boundaries on these frontiers, they were as well ascertained
as those of any borough in England. If the word " arron-

and the latter was the word actually used in the treaty,
there could be my doubt whatever se to what was its exact
