FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, THURSDAY ENENING

If we are to believe a Berlin telegraphic
despatch, part of the English fleet was left in the
Black Sea, to see to the execution by Russia of
the conditions imposed on her by the Treaty of
Peace—conditions which she seemed inclined to
violate by retaining Kars, and pouncing on the Isle
of Serpents ; but the presence of the fleet having
filled her with wholesome fear, she promised to do
all that could be asked of her, and the ships were
ordered to leave.

About Naples, it is not easy to say what we are
to believe. Well informed German papers say
positively, that in compliance with the remon-
strances of Austria, King Ferdinand has deter_
mined to turn over an entirely new leaf, and, as a
proof of his sincerity, has already pardoned several
of the political victims in his dungeons. Letters
direct from Naples assert, on the contrary, that he
persists more than ever, in his insolent defiance of

England

lnd France, and his scandalous injustice
to his subjects. In one of the German papers, it
is alleged that in the reply he caused to be sent
some weeks back to the notes of England and
France, he inserted with his own hand, some
passages highly offensive to the Emperor Napoleon
personally ; in another, it is alleged that the

passages he inserted were offensive to England.
St. Petersburg letters say that the Military
Order of St. George, which has heretofore been
confined exclusively to officers, is henceforth to be
given to deserving non-commissioned officers, and
soldiers as well. When Russia, in imitation of
France and all the Continental nations, thus pro-
vides recompenses for simple soldiers, is there any
reasonable reason why our brave fellows should not
be admitted to the Order of the Bath, as-well as
Lords and Generals? •

There is only one fact of any interest in the
Madrid papers arrived this morning, and that is,
that a deputation of the Cortes is to be invited to
the marriage of the Princess Amelia and a Bavarian
Prince, which is to take place on the 16th. This
seems to indicate that O'Donnell does not mean to
dissolve the Cortes, at least for the present.

had just been shipped in a government steamer for Eng-

The people of Morgan City, Missouri, suspected a man,
named Ray, of poisoning a well. Ray was at feud with
the whole neighbourhood, and had sworn he would be
revenged. The well was poisoned, and some shool children
who had drank of it got seriously sick. Ray also had taken
away his own two children from this school. There was
not legal evidence against him, but the people took him out
and hanged him.
FINANCE AcnouNrs.—On Wednesday morning were
issued the finance accounts of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland for the financial year 1855-6, ended

viz., cash account, public income, public expenditure, con-
solidated fund, funded debt, unfunded debt, disposition of
grants, arrears and balances, and trade and navigation. The
cash account shows at a glance the financial operations of
the year, and it appears that while the expenditure amounted
to £92,532,850 7s 3d, the total income only reached,
£69,808,996 2s 2d. The difference was made up by loan.
The balance in the Exchequer on the 31st of March last

A PROFESSIONAL BEGGAR.—A female beggar by profes-
sion, named Gamier, has just died at Troyes, and, to
the great surprise of all those who had been accustomed
to relieve the extreme misery which she appeared to be
labouring under, on examining her room, there was found
a large supply of household linen in excellent condition,
about 2,000 f. in cash, and bonds and securities amounting
in value to about 10,000 f. She fell ill about a week before
her death, and was token as a pauper to the hospital.
Feeling her end approaching, she gave directions for
her funeral, which she wished should be in harmony with
the property she left behind her. She ordered a com-
fortable coffin, and also that the finest ornaments should
be displayed on the hearse, which was to be followed by
all the poor of the parish of St. Remy, where she had
long resided.

which, added to the balance left over on the previous
half year's account of 48,5111 14s td, gives a disposable

pose to pay a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent per
