EVENING,

that more heavy rains had fallen, and that the inun-
dations continued. The crops of wheat and oats not
got in have been greatly damaged; the straw has be-
come black, and the grain has germinated, or is so
bad that it will yield scarcely anything. In the val-
ley of the oi,,an9, department of the Mere, inunda-
tions have destroyed the crops. Upwards of 2,000
persons are there reduced to the most profound
distress.

Five persons who had been condemned for political
offences in the Meurthe, MM. Lours, Cossort, RA-
ciNE, RAMAT, and PAILLER, have had their punish-.
ments commuted by the PRINCE PRESIDENT on the
occasion of the national fete of the 15th.
Father BERTRAND, formerly missionary of the Je-
suits at Constantinople, has been named superior of
the new institution of Jesuits at Vaugirard.
The expense of the line of railway from Bordeaux
to Cette, the concession of which has just been made
by the Government is estimated, says the Constitu-
tionncl, at 140 millions, of which 35 millions are
given by the State, and the company is to furnish the
rest. In order to procure the necessary
sum, the company is authorized to issue 60
millions of shares, and 40 millions of bonds. The
State guarantees 4 per cent. on this sum for fifty
years. From the statistical documents collected, the
working of the line is expected to produce a net
return of about 4,730,000 f., to which must be added
the revenue from the canal, estimated at 850,0001.
The annual revenue would consequently be 5,580,000 f ,
which represent an interest of 51 per cent. on the
100 millions placed at the charge of the company.
The subventi▪
on of 35 millions made by the State is
to be divided over the five or six years, which will be
occupied in the construction of the line, so that the
. i
State only incur an annual sacrifice of from
five to six millions. The line to be followed will he
such as to satisfy the wants of the most populous
towns and di▪
stricts in that part of the country.

SPAIN.
The accounts from Madrid are of the 21st instant.
Queen ISABELLA was to assist on that day at a
grand military parade at La Granja.
General LARA, Minister of War, was to leave
for Gigon, to be present at the inauguration of the
railway, and to inspect the manufactory of arms at
Trubia. The Minister of Marine was to direct ad
interim the Department of War in his absence.
The Heraldo states that in the beginning of Sep-
tember Queen ISABELLA, and her mother MARTA
CHRISTINA, will have an interview at Villacastin,
within a few leagues of La Granja, 'on the road to the
Asturias. Queen ISABELLA will afterwards return
to La Granja, and Queen Maria CHRISTINA will
proceed to Taranan. In that interview, adds the lie-
raldo, the political questions so long spoken of will
probably be settled in a definitive manner.

GERMANY.
A Frankfort journal states that, in a secret sitting
of the Second Chamber of Electoral Hesse, on the
21st, a proposition was made for the suppression of
civil marriages, as opposed to Christianity. The
proposition was to be discussed in another secret sit-
ting on the 22d.
A Vienna letter, of the 24th, states that the Em-
peror of AUSTRIA has recently granted several par-
dons and commutations to political offenders, and
ordered the dissolution of the courts-martial in Hun-
gary, which were instituted in 1848 and 1849. An-
other letter,'of the same date, states that Baron JAMES
DE ROTHSCHILD has offered, in the name of his house,
to give the support of its credit to the financial ope-
rations proposed by the Austrian Government.
