FLORENCE, Fmk 26.

In the debate on the Provisional Budget in to-
daes sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, the Mar-
quis Pepoli proposed that the house should pass
to the order of the day upon all the motions
brought forward relative to the Provisional Bud-
get. The ministry stated they accepted the order
of tM das„ayopoeed by &gear Lovito. This de-
clared that the Chamber desired radical re-
forms in the administration, that it reserves
its judgment upon the financial projects of
the government, and places confidence in the
ministry for the realisation of political: and
administrative improvements. The ministry op-
posed the adoption by the house of the simple
order of the day proposed by another member,
which was subsequently rejected by 181 against
150 votes. The order of the day brought forward
by Signor Lovito IMP then adapted by 181 against
142 votes, and the Chamber finally passed the bill
for the exercise of the Provisional Budget by 228
against 58 votes.

SINKING OF • STELNILIt OFF Extra.—A collision
took place io the river off Erith on Sunday moroing be-
tween the Minns steamship, with a general cargo from
Oporto, and the Ellen Sinclair steamer, outward bound to
Newcastle, by which the latter-mentioned vowel sustained
so much damage that abe immediately fil'ed and went down
in the centre of the stream. The Minos beings to Messrs.
Robinson, of Mark-lace ; she is an iron-built steamer about
600 tons register, and was in charge of a pilot at the tine.
It is represented that she easie in contest with the 811011
Sinclair amidships with such force as to stove in the whole
of her aide, the Minos herself also sustaining very serious
damage, her bows being also stove in. The crew of the
Ellen Sinclair, finding their vessel sinking, took to the
hosts and escaped, but were unable to save any of their
clothes. At high water her topmasts are visible above
water. She was 633 tone register, and was fitted with
four watertight bulkheads, and was engaged in the coal
trade. On the menus/toe being male known to the
harbour masters, steps were taken to guard the shipping
passing up and down against rusting into the sunken
wreak. The llinna's fors compartment filled with water.
but she managed to make beadirey, and arrived off East-
lake, Eloreelydowo, in the course of the morning.
LOST me THE FLOODS.—On Saturday afternoon,
• labouring man named Bortoo, in the employ of Mr.
Argent, of the Minor Farm, Egham, went into a field os
the racecourse in order to look after some sheep. While thus
signori he noticed something lying in • yioughed field
called the Bide," which bad been flooded during the re-
osot extensive inundation by the waters of the Thames.
As the ground was almost a bog from the large quantity of
water which bad been lying upon it oolong, Horton wayeri•
cooed some difficulty in reselling the spot in gusstioe, but
on doing so found what he at first imagined was the deed
body of a man lying upon his face with the arms and knees
imbedded in the mud. Horton at once proceeded to Sella=
and obtained the assistance of police-constable Walker, of
the Surrey Oonteibulery, with whom, and several other
persons, he returned to " the Ride." Upon examining the
man it was found that although cold, numbed, and quite
insensible, he yet breathed. He was, however, in a most
dreadful condition. The poor fellow had evidently lost his
way among the water and mud left upon the land from
the flood. In his straggles to extricate himself from the
atrial position into which he bad wandered, be bad sunk
deeply into the min, and during the extents he bad
to escape, his trousers were torn from their
supports, sad, bedaubed with mud, were twisted
round his feet, leaving his body is • partly &s-
-eeded enclitics, and with cramped and stlffeaed extremi-
ties. Be had also lost one of his boots. The unfortunate
man was, as nos as possible, conveyed to the Catherine
Wheel Inn, Egham, where he was examined by Mr. Hey-
ward, a elegem al the born. Stimulants were administered.
and after • time the man slightly recovered, whoa he was
tanned under the directisu of Mr. Inspector Barter to
the Old Windsor !lidos. The same ot the poor fellow who
was found in such • distends( condition is supposed to be
Brows, and his appearance was that of a 'ebonite( ans.
Hoer long he bad bees strognlieg shoat in the mod is sot
known. bat it ie conisotured that he most have been upon
the spot for several hours, the tracks made by his steeples
being easily distiognishable. It was &boot 4 o'clock when
he was found ; to • couple of hours foreleg vatic' have sin
is, sad this his fate would have been sealed.

of the Imperial Prince to the honorary presidency
of the Universal Exhibition of 1867. I regret the
reasons which have made the Emperor break de-
finitively as far as regards politic with his amain,
who represented Internal &we, ad the prompt
and undisguised evacmatiou of game and Mexico.
Bat given the proposition that Pleo-Pioa is out of
the question, I see no objection to the heir-appa-
rent being put in his plass. I moat report, how-
ever, that what does not strike me as ridiculous does
seem so to the Parisians. I have heard very many
" footometers" laugh at the appointment. It is to
re-set against this laugh (that is rire Ins In Frisco
is proverb) that the government proms contains
daily paragraphs intended to familiarise the publie
with the ides of the child prince at the head of the
Exhibition, and to show how capable he is of ful-
filling the duties. At a recent dinner the Emperor
proposed the health of the "Imperial Prince, Presi-
dent of the Universal Exhibition," and called upon
him to return thanks. The little boy, with the
modesty natural to his age, at first refused to say
anything, but being pressed he is recorded to have
given utterance to the very sensible remark, that he
tested he was too young to perform his duty as he
ought to do.
The Temps has received a warning for having
esidj its number of Feb. 24, apropos cd the
elec-
tion fof the Marne :—" The poll is:open ; for the
last time we remind the electors that if they return
a deputy to swell the ranks of the contented
dummies, they will out themselves off from any
right to complain of high taxes, a large annual
levy of recruits, and the want of liberty and free-
dom in business. All this remorse they will spare
themselves by voting for M. Leblond."
I would defy anyone to guess the grounds of the
warning, which the Marquis de Lavalette (who seems
to envy the laurels of M. de Bismarck and Prince
Clouse) has invented to come down upon the Temps.
The Minister of the Interior sees in the above
article " expressions insulting tothe Corps Legialatif,
and language hostile to the free exercise of the
rights of the electors." How any exhortation, how-
ever strong, on the part of private individuals
exercising no power, can fetter the rights of
the constituency, is a proposition which paws
all understanding oat of coup d'etat circles.
After the fact of the return of K Perrier,
the government candidate, before this absurd
warning was issued, the government must
groan over the folly of the minister whose unin-
telligent zeal holis it up to odium and ridicule for
no purpose. There are still rumours that the
Marquis de Lavalette is going out ; it is high time
that they should be realised.
The Bourse was depressed at the opening but
closed with comparative firmness. Rents fell
only 21c., both fur cash and account ; Mobilier
rose lfr. 25c.
