FR AN CE.

The Emperor returned to Paris from Biarritz
last evening. His Majesty is in the enjoyment of
excellent health.
General Baraguay d'Hilliers has been promoted
to the rank of a marshal of France.

The Moniteur contains a letter from Vienna,
dated the 23d, stating that the Austrian Govern-
ment had received official advices of the entry of
the Imperial troops into the Principalities. The
movement commenced on the 20th, Count Coronini
conducting all the operations. He is expected to
arrive at Bucharest by the sth, and he will reside
alternately at Bucharest and Jassy. The Ottoman
forces on the left bank of the Danube exceed 70,000
men. The best understanding exists at bead-quar-
ters between Omer Pacha and the Austrian officers
who preceded the entry of the Imperial troops into
Wallachia.

General Bazaine, former colonel of the first regi-
ment of the Foreign Legion, has been appointed by
the Emperor to assume the command of the brigade
formed by the two regiments of that legion now
quartered at Gallipoli.
The battalion of the Gendarmerie of the Imperial
Guard, which was to leave Paris for the camp of
Boulogne on the 28th, has received counter-orders,
and is to remain in Paris.

Letters from Toulon of the 23d instant state that
the arsenals of the interior continued to forward to
Toulon considerable materiel of artillery, which is
immediately embarked on board the commercial
vessels freighted by the Government. The army
in the East must now be provided with an im-
mense artillery, which is daily increased by fresh
arrivals. The personnel of a battery, composed
of 130 men, embarked on the 23d in the Chander-
nagore transport, and the steam corvette Veloce,
which is to take her in tow, conveys to the East 10
horses and several detachments of soldiers, on their
Way to join their respective corps. The regiment
of marine artillery has just organised a company,
commanded by a captain, which is to embark in the
~
v autour for the working of the mortars of that
vessel, which has been armed as a bomb-ketch.
We read in the Monitenr, under date Bucharest,
August 13 :
" The Ottoman troops, on entering our capital on the
Bth inst., were saluted with loud and sincere acclama
tions. The Russian party did everything in their power
to create alarm and induce the inhabitants to fly on the
approach of the Turks, but failed in their attempt. On
the 11th a deputation of Boyards, composed of Messrs.
Bareanesco, J. Alexander Philippesco, Secretary of
State, and J. Philippesco, Minister of Finance, repaired
to Rustchuk to congratulate Omer Pasha, and convey to
him the assurance of the gratitude and submission of the
country to the Sultan. Tilo_ deputation presented the
following address to the Ottoman General-in-Chief :-
1" The Ottoman Imperial troops, on their triumphant
entry into Bucharest on the 7th, were received by the
Government and the Wallachian people with the live-
liest acclamations of joy, and the most sympathetic
manifestations. On that occasion the extraordinary Ad
lni nistrai ive Council of the country, conscious of its duties
and submission towards the throne of his Majesty the
Sultan, the Sovereign of this principality, and conform.
ably to ancient usage, lost no time in appointing a de-
putation of three peicns, chosen from the notables of
the country, namely, the Vornik J. Philippesco, mem-
ber of the Administrative Counci , and M Charles Bar-
canesco, member of the Upper Divan, and J. Alexan-
der Philippesco, Secretary of State, to wait upon your
highness, and assure you, in the name of the Govern-
ment and the entire nation, of their gratitude and sub-
mission to the throne of his Majesty. The Council
consequently take the liberty humbly to pray your
highness to grant a favourable reception to that deputa-
tion, and to be pleased, at the same time, to deposit at
the foot of the Imperial throne the testimonies of
loyalty and gratitude of the Wallachian Government
and nation, who do not cease to offer the- most fervent
prayers to Heaven for the pro'ongation of the precious
existence of his Msjesty. the Sultan. As respects the
Government, it will devote all its energies and solicitude
to procure and secure to the Imperial troops all the pro-
visions they may stand in need of.' "

MEDICAL GRADUATES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LON-
DON.—The new act to extend the rights enjoyed by the
graduates of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge,
in respect to the practice of physic, to the graduates of
the University of London, has just been printed. By
virtue of this act, graduates in the University of London
are called to practise physic in the same manner as gra-
duates of the other universities. Those graduates who
have acted without obtaining the authority of Oxford or
Cambridge, belonging to the University of London, are
indemnified from law proceedings.
PAROCHIAL SCHOOLMASTERS IN SCOTLAND.—A some-
what curious act of Parliament, passed in the last ses-
sion, has just been printed. In the reign of George 111.
an act was passed to regulate the salaries of the paro-
chial schoolmasters in Scotland, and they were regulated
according to the average price of " the fiar's price of
oatmeal." Such price was struck by the Barons of the
Exchequer, is 1828, at 171, 2s. 2d., and the act expired
last year. It is new enacted that the fiar's price shall
continue till Martinmas, 1855, and the salaries are to be
regulated in accordance with the same.
THE MARKETS OF THE WEST.—The cheering anticipa-
tions of a bountiful harvest in the West of England
in Devon, Somerset, Dorset, and Cornwall—have had a
powerful influence on the various markets in the several
counties. Wheat, a few weeks ago, was 10s 6d and lls
per bushel, and the four-pound loaf was 9d, the dearness
of which was, of course, very keenly felt by the working
classes. Since then the price of corn and, consequently,
bread has been considerably reduced. In some of the
largest markets in Devonshire—in Tiverton, Totness,
Barnstaple, Torrington, Newton Abbot, &c.—the price
of wheat last week was down to 7s 6d and 8s per
bushel ; and bread is now selling at lid per four-pound
loaf, and is likely to 'be further reduced. The price
of animal food is not so high as it was, and, judging
from the luxuriant appearance of the green crops, it
is likely to be much cheaper. Prime beef has been
selling in several markets at 10s. per score ; and mutton
is about 6d per pound. In many instances farmers have
held large stocks of wheat, in the expectation that the
war with Russia would have enabled them to command
higher prices, but in this they have been disappointed,
and are still likely to be, for the prospects of the harvest
are most gratifying. The weather has been delightful,
and a very large quantity of wheat has been cut in De-
vonshire and the other counties. In the former county
a considerable quantity has been saved in excellent con-
dition, and, if the present fine weather continues for a
short time longer, the wheat harvest will very soon be
satisfactorily completed. New barley was sold in the
Exeter market last
.Friday at 4s. to 4s. 6d. per bushel ;
and new oats at 3s. per bushel. Some samples of new
wheat were also exhibited.

Last week several millowners and manufacturers of
lieckmondwyke were greatly inconvenienced by the
bon arrival of their workpeople, several hundreds of
whom had gone to Liverpool on the Saturday pre-
vious by an excursion train, which train was announced
to return on the Sunday and Monday afternoons, at five
o'clock each day. Accordingly, at the time stated on
Sunday, several hundreds were Waiting at the station at
Liverpool to return home, when they were told that a
train would not return that day ; consequently they had
to seek accommodation for the night, and wait till the
Monday afternoon. Many of them had to endure the
greatest privations owing to their not having calculated
on staying longer than Sunday, and to depend on the
liberality of their companions in misfortune.
JUVENILE STREET VAGRANTS.--The Greenock Aclver•
tiser states that a gentleman in that to ern, anxious to do
something for the neglected boys who constantly peter
Passers ;n the street, nominally vending lucifer matches,
b It really watching for opportunities to steal unconsi-
dered ti ifles, has fallen upon an excellent plan of con-
verting them into useful members of society by getting
them sent to see as ship boys. Not placing much con-
them
fidence in 'heir promise to go to sea,
he informs
that a full suit of nautical comtume is
deposited with the
captain, and if the boy joins the ship he
is invested with
it. Instructions are given to prevent the other appren-
tices annoying them about their previous stationai
and it is hoped that the experiment which is now in
made with several of thee. youths will prove as success-
ful all it doierym
