The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric state of Europe yester-
day :—" The sky is cloudy and threatens rain over
the west of Europe. It rains at Dunkirk, Boulogne,
Limoges, Bordeaux, Montauban, and Cette. The
sea is calm in the Channel and on the coasts of the
Atlantic. A violent squall has concentrated itself
in the neighbourhood of the coasts of Provence,
towards Toulon and Antibes, where brisk winds are
blowing from between east and north-east, while at
Cette and Leghorn the wind is scarcely felt. The
Baltic is calm. The Black Sea is at present affected
by the action of the squalls which came from the
North across Russia."

A new main sewer has been commenced in Paris.
It will start from the Pont de l'Alma, pass under

gine-house at Chaillot, and by means of a pipe pass-
ing under the river, also those of the left bank and
the Bievre.

Bona, and Emilio Castelar. .
Several of the Spanish journals have taken the

The Italian journals announce the death, at Genoa,

A most extraordinary take of fish was made three

Notwithstanding all the contrary denials, the

nature has occurred, and the sea is calm. The Gor-
gone and the Clyde have been sent off to the assis-
tance of the Jura."
