FRANCE.

We read h the .Mouiteur—" Dispatches have 11
re shed Paris, dated the 30:h ult,, from the admiral
in command of the i'dediterreneen squadron, which i •
announce the settlement of the differences which had
called fer the presence of the squadron before the
walls of Tripoli. Two French deserters, it will be
recollected, had taken refuge in that place, and it
was endeavoured to compel them to embrace
Islamism. They refused, and invoked the protection
of the French consul-general, who claimed them. One
of them succeeded in reaching the consulate,
enit having been closely watched, he was, when
leaving it, pursued by the crowd, and cruelly ill-
treated. Tee Turkish authorities only interfered to
put him and his comrade in prison, where they were
detained in spite of the energetic remonstrances of our
consular agent. Such manifest violation of the law
of nations could not be tolerated. On the `?7th ult.
the French squadron left Toulon for Tripoli with
orders to have the two prisoners given up, or to de-
stroy the town. On the 28th the squadron an-
chored before the place, and a communication
took place between the admiral and the consul-
general. The Pacha left for the interior at the
very commencement of the affair. A summons was
immediately sent to the mudir commanding the place
to give up the prisoners by sunrise the following day
at the latest. At seven o'clock in the morning of the
29th no answer having been returned, the consul
general struck his flag and went on board the admi-
ral's slip, followed by several Christian families of
different nations, who were received on board the
vessels of the squadron. The merchant vessels at
anchor in the port hauled out of the range of shot.
The squadron was about to open its fire after sending
a seoond summons to the mudir, when at nine o'clock
the admiral-was informed that the two deserters were
about to be given up, and at four o'clock an agent of
the mudir brought them on board the admiral's ship.
On the morning of the 30th the squadron put to sea.
If the Regency of Tripoli had not immediately given
the satisfaction demanded, our squadron would have
maintained the legitimate claims of France by force."
The Minister of the Interior, by a letter, has inti-
mated to the General-in-Chief of the National Guards
of the Seine that the Prince President will pass them
in review on the 15th. The battalions will be drawn
up from the Place de la Concorde to the Barriere de
l'Etoile, on each side of the Champs Elys(tes. The
Prince will arrive at eleven o'clock.
Curious mistakes are frequently made with English
names in French journals. The Patrie of Friday
mentions, as amongst the English who were present
at the funeral of Count d'Orsay, Lord Tishah It
would be in vain to search for this name in the Eng.
lish peerage. Lord Usbal of the Patrie is Mr. Hughes
Ball.

POLAND.
A letter from Warsaw states that the cholera is
making great ravages at Sieradz. The deaths are very
numerous.
In the kingdom of Poland there exists an ordinance
which enacts that men shall not wear beards without
permission of the authorities, and without paying a
duty. At the last fair at Korieglow several persons
with beards were summoned before the Mayor to pro-
duce their permissions. Those who could not do so
were placed in the hands of a barber, and the beards
were shaved off.

GREECE.
It is stated in a letter from Athens that a Greco-
French company has made propositions for establish-
ing a railway from Athens to the Pirmus. This will
be the first railway in Greece.

EXPERIMENTAL TRIP TO PARIS.
On Saturday last an interesting trip took place for
the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of effect-
ing an improved system of communication between
London and Paris by way of Dieppe. On the map
this route is evidently the shortest, forming nearly
a straight line, through Newhaven, Dieppe, and
Rouen, from the one metropolis to the other. Hi-
therto this route has been little used, mainly on account
of insufficient steamboat accommodation across the
Channel, and incomplete arrangements for connecting
the London and Brighton Railway on one side, with
the Paris, Rouen, and Dieppe line on the other.
During the greatly increased traffic of 1851 the di-
rectness of this route, and its cheapness, attracted
crowds of passengers, but the steamboat and harbour
arrangements were found to be such as called for
decided improvement, in order to render it perma-
nently a favourite with the public. Since that time
the attention of practical men has been a good deal
directed to the subject, and efforts are now being
made to place the communication on a better footing.
On Saturday morning the chairman, directors, and
officers of the Paris, Rouen, and Dieppe Railway left
Paris by an express train, and reached Dieppe in
three hours and a half; and on the same morning the
chairman and officers of the London and Brighton
Railway left London to meet them by an express
train, with which they reached Newhaven in less than
aliphour and a half, the total railway distance being
thus got over in five hours, excluding, of course, the
sea voyage, which is the chief difficulty of the route.
For the purpose of rendering this as perfect as pos-
sible, a new description of vessel was tried, possess-
ing qualities and arrangements of an unusual
kind. Instead of the close cabins down in the

hold of the ship, where passengers are usu3lly con•
fined, the vessel carries her first-class passengers on
deck in a large and luxurious saloon, surrounded
with plate glass windows, where they are thoroughly
protected from the wind and waves, and yet enjoy
an extensive view, having abundance of light and
the most perfect ventilation. Owing to the peculiar
construction of the vessel the motion of the sea is
much less felt than in steamers generally, a result
which has been accomplished by making her of un-
usual length, so as to prevent pitching, and y a
proportion of beam and height which diminishes b
the
rolling. With this vessel, called the Wave Queen,
the Chairman of the Brighton Railway, Mr. Mng/
M.P., and several other gentlemen made the passage
from Newhaven to Dieppe, with a strong south-
westerly breeze and a considerable sea, directly on
the beam—circumstances regarded as exceedingly
unfavourable for the voyage—in 5i hours. It i 3
believed, therefore, that the whole route from London
to Paris may be accomplished in from 91 to 10i
hours, excluding stoppages, and that, allowing time
on each side for embercation and debarcation, it may,
with good arrangements, be completed in from 10 to
11 hours. The joint meeting of directors already
alluded to was to consider the mode of carrying out
this object. The mayor and authorities of Dieppe—
Messrs. Simon, Blount, Machete], Bailly, Cretu,
and De la Peyriera—were present on the French
side; Mr. Laing, alp., Mr. Slight,
&c., on the
other Captain Claxton, R.N., Captain Ford,
Mr. Scott Russell, Mr. Farquhar, and other scientific
gentlemen, were also present to make the passage in
the vessel and test her seagoing qualities. The result
of their deliberation is, we understand, the conviction
that the arrangements which have hitherto existed
are vary defective, and a determination to open the
route with two or more fait steamers, having the im-
proved accommodation for passengers which the
wave Queen possesses,and,torun them in combina-
tion with fast trains, so the', this route, which is the
shortest in point of distance, may be rendered the
shortest also in point of time.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S
MEETING AT LE IVES.
GLASS, &c.—ln no case were we more pleased than
in the many new inventians in glass, introduced by
Messrs. Cogan and Co., of 48, Leiceeter-square, who
have at last succeeded in perfecting their original
notion in producing every article of glass for the
dairy. All who keep dairies are greatly indebted to
Captain Stanley Carr and other gentlemen for their
endeavours in bringing this cleanly material before
the consideration of the society and the public at a
cheaper price; and we think much credit is also due
to Messrs. Cogan and Cc., fur the readiness with
which they adopt any really useful and practical sug-
gestion. On looking at the German pans, recom-
mended by Captain Carr, and now imported by this
house, we perceive they are ne...de of bottle glass,
somewhat deeper, though of smaller diameter, than
the English ones generally used, and are sold at 21s.
