FRAN CE.

A dispatch from Lyons states that the inundation
the Rhone is at an end ; much damage had been

aone.
In addition to the concessions for railways which
have just been signed by the Minister of Public
Works, the Debats says—" There is another project
now under consideration by the Government in order
to complete the line of railways of the South, 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, end to continue it the
whole length of the Valley of Tanaro, as far as
Cberasco, where it would connect itself with that
which is now open from Turin to Milan by Novare.
In still following the course of the Tanaro, 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, fur
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.

that period the
penitentiary colony continued in a
perfectly healthy condition. The works of installa-

were going on in the Salutation Islands. The
greatest order prevailed among the transported
prisoners.
A notorious robber, named Tirard Gallier, who had
long been the terror f the department of the Isere,
was executed on the 17th at Voiron. He was escorted
to the place of execution by a detachment of gen-
darmes and another of artillerymen • and on his way
received the pious exhortations of the chaplain of the
prison with becoming resignation. A large crowd
was assembled to witness his death ; he mounted the
scaffold with a firm step, and laid his neck of his own
accord under the fatal blade.

ITALY.
Rio Official Gazette of Savoy of the 20th positively
asserts from Turin that M. Pernati, Minister of the
Interior, has resigned, and that Count Pouza di San
Martino, who had had a portfolio after the events of
1848, has been sent for by the King.

LATE FIRE AT LIS-MORE CASTLE.

that portion of the office which forms a part of the
southern quadrangle of the court-yard. For a time
serious apprehensions were entertained lest it should

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-
cies being heavily insured, the Noble Proprietor
sustains little pecuniary loss ; and as this building

of there 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 progress of erection went on the same
morning as if nothing had occurred ; the hundreds
employed on them were not idle for a single hour.
