FRAN CE.

A. dispatch from Lyons states that the inundation
of the Rhone is at an end ; much damage had been
done.
In addition to the concessions for railways which
have just been signed by the Minister of Public
Works, the Debuts says—" There is another project
now under consideration by the Government in order
to complete the line of railways of the Soutb, and to
extend it as far as the frontier of Piedmont, on the
side of the Var, by starting from Marseilles or from
Toulon. In order for this line to produce any use-
ful results it is necessary that the two Governments
of France and Piedmont should act in concert.
Nothing, certainly, could be more easy; their
interests are common, and they are animated.
with the best feelings of entente cordiale one towards
the other. In this case the Piedmontese Government
would not hesitate to welcome the propositions of the
companies which undertake to open a railway from
Nice to Oneille, or Albenga, and to continue it the
whole length of the Valley of Tanaro, as far as
Cheraseo, where it would connect itself with that
which is now open from Turin to Milan by Novare.
In still following the course of the Tuner°, the
line would naturally run from Cherasco as far
as Aste, where it would join the Alexandria line.
the real nucleus of the railways of Upper Italy, for
from Alexandria they go on one side to Turin and
the Lago Maggiore, and on the other to Voghere,
Modena, Bologna, and Ancona. Consequently this
new line would connect France and the Mediterra-
nean with Switzerland, Lombardy, the Legations,
and the Adriatic. It is, therefore, useless to insist,
further on its great importance. The Valley of the
Tanaro is only separated from the sea by a small
ridge which unites the Appenines to the chain of the
Alps, and which can be easily made practicable by
piercing a tunnel of little more than half a mile in
length."
A considerable number of electors of the canton of
Marennes having sent in a protest against the elec-
tion of Prince Murat as member of the council-
general, the council of the prefecture, after examin-
ing the circumstances of the case, has declared
that
the election is valid.
The Consulting Chamber of Agriculture of Bor-
deaux, before separating, voted an address to the
Yrttice r,e.taent of the itepubuo, thanking him for
the benefits for which the owners of vineyards are
indebted to him in consequence of the modifications
effected ilithe °eau*/ system and in the indirect taxes.
In consequence of the visit of the Prince Pre:l:lent
of the Republic to Bordeaux, several regiments are
to be concentrated there. Three
.squadrons of the
lath Chasseurs have already arrived there from
Libourne.
Letters from ',orient state that the Mazagran and
Annibal, ,f 90 guns, are to be fitted out both as
steam and bailing vessels.

as they presented nothing but bare walls to their fury.
The valuable muniments and records were removed
for safety, though, as the result proved, happily
without necessity. The castle and all its dependen-

sustains little pecuniary loss; and as this building
in common with all the other offices was to be re-
modelled, though not at the moment, the only effect
of the tire will be that this will take place the sooner.
The general remark was, that as such an accident was
fated to occur, it could not happen in any part of the
castle where it was productive of less inconvenience.
The works in progres of erection went on the same
morning as if nothing had occurred ; the hundreds
employed cn them were not idle for a single hour.
