NORWAY.

A. committee of the Storthing of Norway, charged
to take into consideration a proposition for the re-
establishment of trial by jury in criminal matters,
reported in a recent sitting in favour of the prin-
ciple, but represented that it could not be adopted
Until arrangements should be made for having oral
trials—which at present only take place before the
Supreme Court of Justice. The committee accord-
ingly recommended that an address should be sent
to the King praying him to cause to be presented
in the next session a bill for establishing both trial
by juries and oral trials. This recommendation
was received with approbation by the Storthing.

ADRIANOPLE.

Since the 12th (says a letter from Adrianople of
the 19th June) French troops have continued to
arrive. On the 14th a regiment of African rifle-
men and two battalions of the 50th cf the line
arrived, with six pieces of artillery and 42 ammu-
nition waggons ; and on the 16th, two regiments
of Zouaves and the 6th of the line made their ap-
pearance, with 12 pieces of artillery and 16 ammu-
nition waggons. The military bearing and admi-
rable appearance of these troops made a deep im-
pression upon the Mahonaedan Christian popula-
tion, who hastened to view them. Rustem Pacha,
together with Generals Bosquet and d'Allonville,
with a detachment of chasseurs and a squadron of
Ottoman lancers, went out to meet them.
The French camp is situated in the island formed
by the two branches of the river Toundja, in a
most beautiful position, and sheltered by the trees.
The infantry are all under canvas there, and the
park of artillery is stationed close beside them ;
whilst the cavalry are encamped at the other side
of the river. All the provisions are landed at Enos,
and brought up the river in boats. 10,000 oxen
are expected there from Algiers.
Letters from Schumla up to the 16th, announce

that the Turks still hold their ground, and that the
Russians had not even succeeded in making them-
selves masters of the Arab Tabia fort.
Sadik Pacha had succeeded in entering Silistria
with 4,000 men, so that the garrison of that place
is now 20,000 strong. The Turks have crossed the
Danube at Rustchuk to attack Giurgevo.
In two or three days General Bosquet, command-
ing the 2d division of the French expeditionary
force in the East, will commence the march to
Bourgas on the Black Sea, with the Chasseurs
d'Afrique. The rest of his division will follow in
detachments.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS,

THE WAR.

OCCUPATION OF WALLACHIA BY THE

AUSTRIANS.

Advices by way of Paris from Vienna, dated
yesterday, state that the entry of the Austrian
troops into Wallachia is an " accomplished fact."
A telegraphic despatch from Orsova, of July 2,
gays that seventeen steamers, with Austrian troops
on board, have gone down the river.

A letter from Crajowa, 20th ult., in the Wanderer
of Vienna, states that a Turkish commissioner has
arrived in that town to make preparations for the
entry of the Austrian troops. A strong feeling in
favour of Austria was everywhere expressed. The
Turks had not yet taken possession of the points
evacuated by the Russians.

REPLY OF THE CZAR.
, VIENNA, Tuesday Evening.—lt is affirmed that
Prince Gortschakoff was to have left St. Peters-
burg on the Ist with instructions to remain in War-
saw until he learned whether there was any pros-
pect of negotiation being renewed on the basis of
the Russian propositions. What the propositions
are is not known.

The Moniteur publishes the following letter from
Berlin, dated the 29th June :—" We are assured
that the Prussian Government has received from
Colonel Manteuffel—sent, as you are aware, to St.
Petersburg with a despatch in support of the sum-
mons of Austria—information indicating a marked
coldness on the part of Russia. At the departure
of the last courier it was not yet known when the
answer of that Court would take place, or in what
sense it would be conceived. At Berlin, as well as
at Vienna, the retrogade movement of the Russians
was considered at the same time as a retreat and as
a change of front hostile to Germany."

ADVANCE OF THE TURKS TOWARDS
THE DOBRUDSCHA.
We read in the Press, of Vienna :—" A letter
from Galatz, 22d ult., states that the Turks are
about to enter the Dobrudscha. The measures
taken by the Russians show that they expect a
combined operation of the fleets and of the Turkish
army, having for object to destroy the Russian
flotilla of the Danube, and to retake the Dobrudscha.
A grand council of war is to be held at Schumla in
the early part of July, at which Omer Pasha, Mar-
shal St. Arnaud, Lord Raglan, and Halil Pacha
will be present, and at which the plan of offensive
operations will be decided on. Letters direct from
Schumla, of the 18th, announce that Mustapha
Pacha, who commands the corps of observation of
Bazardschick, marched on that day towards the
wall of Trajan by Tlantschik. Other corps are to
follow. It appears certain that the new line of
operations of Omer Pacha will be directed towards
the Dobrudscha and also towards Silistria."

LYCEUM THEATRE.

On the occasion of Mr. and Mrs. F. Matthew's benefit
last night, a slight piece not remarkable for vis arnica,
but still noticeable as a specimen of French ingenuity in
building something upon nothing, was produced with
success. We say " French," because The Gentleman Op-
posite, as the piece is called, is taken from a vaudeville en-
titled La Tasse Cassee. Lucy (Mrs. F. Matthews), the ser-
vant of Mrs. Mowbray (Miss Talbot), a fascinating widow,
has the misfortune to break an ornamental china-cup that
stands in the window. To conceal her own delinquency,
she attaches a stone to an undirected and unsigned let-
ter she has received from her sweetheart, Pounce (Mr.
Swan), and places it near the fractured ornament. Mrs.
Mowbray, seeing the damage, and discovering the epistle,
concludes that the letter comes from Mr. Charles Villiers
(Mr. C. Mathews), a " gentleman opposite," with whom
she, is person Ily unacquainted, but of whom she hears
good accounts. A lawsuit in which she is engaged,
and which she fears she can only terminate by a hateful
marriage with her adversary, Fitzaddle (Mr. Basil
Baker), enables her to invite Mr. Villiers in his pro-
fessional capacity, and she is t greatly astonished to
find that the supposed hurler of the love epistle is
modest and retiring to a fault. However, out of
this interview a serious engagement results, the straight
path of genteel courtship 'being now and then inter-
rupted by the pretensions of Mr. Pounce, who hearing
his letter read with evident affection by Mrs. Mowbray,
concludes that he himself must be the favoured object.
On the strength of this hypothesis, Pounce bullies Fits-
addle into a resignation of the lady's hand, but he now
finds that it is a case of sic vos non vobis, and that he
has merely exerted himself to make the road clear for
Mr. Villiers. The finished representation, by Mr. C.
Mathews, of the bashful timidity of the modest admirer,
gradually yielding to a growing ardour, and the brilliant
appearance of Miss Talbot as the fair widow, are the
chief features of this little unpretending piece.

fire was seen to the right of the first•named place, which
appeared to extend itself quickly ; at the same moment
a shell from the Valorous passed through the roof of the
fortress, where it exploded, upon which Captain Hall
threw out the signal Bravely done, Valorous,' which
was answered with a hurrah,
"At 1 o'clock a.m. on the 22d the British ceased
firing, weighed anchor, and passed through the southern
Mane on their return. One man on board the liecla
and two on board the Odin were slightly wounded, but
none killed. Each of the vessels was hit several times
by the shots of the enemy, one of which went through
the paddlebox of the Hecht. Another report mentions
four wounded, and that seven shots had hit the Hecla ;
and that all the magazines in Bomarsund had been
burnt down. Captain Hall received on the 22d an order
to join Admiral Napier, from which circumstance some
decisive operation is supposed to be contemplated. A

GAZINES.

I _We observe in the July number
of the
hisßiairteblliiegrent and not unfrequently brilliant
organ of our Catholic fellow-countrymen, two arti-
cles of a very different kind, but each of them par-
ticularly entitled to examination. Both, we feel
satisfied, will more than repay perusal with the dis-
passionate. One relates to a young writer of poetry
who but very recently ventured forth from the ob-
scurity in which he has been born and nurtured, and
proffered—we doubt not with a tremulous though
daring hand—more metrical contributions to our
national literature. The other refers to the chief
representative and glory of that literature. One
has allusion, that is to say, to Gerald Massey. The
other to -William Shakspere. The criticism on Mr.
Massey's little volume of poems, especially in re-
gard to the '' Bal!ad of Babe Christabel," is genial
and eulogistic. The essay upon " The Immortal
B%rd" is nothing more nor less than an argument
in reply to the inquiry, ".‘ Was Shakspere a Catho-
lic ?" A question we are not by any means sur-
prised to find answered by the Rambler, rather by
delicate inference than by positive assertion, in the
affirmative.

The Head and Heart.—A new claimant for pub-
lic favour has here appeared among the already
considerable cluster of monthly periodicals. Al-
though it is usually somewhat difficult to judge of
the merits of an enterprise of this kind from an
examination of merely one number, we can see
sufficiently into the design of The Read and
Heart from the initial instalment of it, before us,
to perceive at once that it is a design eminently
entitled to commendation. From one of the many
entertaining contributions to the Head and Heart
we quote the following sensible observations upon
Boarding-School Education
" But if such is the system of tamale education exist-

ing in England (of course with exceptions), how much
more of evil is that system productive under which girls
are sent to France for instruction ? It is notoriously a
boast, that every English tendency of the young heart is
there eradicated. A girl goes from a happy and com-
l., irtable home to the meagre fare and chilling accommo-
dations of a French boarding-school. She is taught
nothing of good that could not, with proper care, have
been taught at house ; and in far too many instances the
information she does acquire is such that eventually
makes her an outcast from society. At the best they
are either crammed to repletion with wearisome lessons,
or such are altogether neglected for the sake of fiivolity.
Such girls are like victim] destined for the sacrifice, and.
dressed with the peiishable flowers of mere accomplish•
ments.'

A story, entitled " The Heart and the Head : a►
Father's Legacy to his Son," is already commenced.
Besides which we observe the beginning of a " Stu-
dent's Self-instructing French Grammar," and an
article on the subject of the War—contributions
sufficient of themselves to justify the supplementary
titles of the Head and Heart as a Youth Instructor
and Fireside Intelligencer.

PRICES OF PROVISIONS.

The rise in the prices of the chief articles of food which
was noticed in the summer and autumn quarters of 1853
has continued during the first three mouths of the year
1854. The average pric.. of wheat in Engl ,nd and Wales
was 455. 7d. per quarter in the three first months of 1,853 ;
in the same period of the present year the price has
averaged 795. 6d. per quarter, being an increase of 75 per
cent. The average weekly quantity hold in the cities and
towns which make returns was 95,115 quarters, represent-
ing an expenditure of about 216,767/. weekly in the quarter
ending March 31, 1853, while in the same period of the
present year 60,022 quarters have been sold for about
238,587/. Meat has been somewhat dearer; and potatoes,
which averaged 1275. Gil. per ton at Waterside Market,
Southwark, in the quarter ending March 31, 1853, rose to
140 s. in the same period of the present year, being an in-
crease of 10 per cent. Meanwhile the country has been in
a prosperous state, and notwithstanding that "strikes"

LESSER WALLACHIA.

The Wanderer of Vienna has the following from
Krajowa, 25th ult. :—" The Russians. in evacuat-
ing Lesser Wallachia, displayed as much cruelty
as during their sojourn. They have carried off
with them by force every man capable of bearing
arms, and the country is thus given up without
defence to a horde of marauders. The Turks, to
the number of 5,000 men, endeavoured to inter-
cept the march of a Russian corps which was coming
from Turnu-Severin, and it was only by receiving
a reinforcement of 3,000 men that they were able
to resist the Turks for a time, but were eventually
compelled to make a precipitate retreat."

INCREASE OF POPULATION.

The births that were registered in the quarter amounted
to 160,892, the deaths to 111,970, leaving in the population
an excess of 48,922 persons, which is increased on the one
hand by the immigration of the Irish or Scotch, and dimi-
nished by the emigration of the English. The number of
emigrants from the ports of England at which there are
Government emigration officers was 46,619 in the same
time ; and the emigrants from all the ports of the United
Kingdom were 48,565.
Hitherto the number of emigrants from the United
Kingdom has been published in such a manner that it has
been impossible to say how many were natives of England.
In consequence of an instruction from the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, the Duke of Newcastle, the infor-
mation that has been registered for some time, in confor-
mity with the act of Parliament, has been abstracted, and
the Registrar-General is thus enabled to publish the in-
formation that he has for several years been endeavouring
to obtain ; for the emigration commissioners have supplied
him with an interesting table, showing that in 1853 the
emigrants from the United Kingdom amounted to 329,937;
of whom it was ascertained that 128,787 were adult males,
109,145 were adult females, 67,634 were children of 1 and
under 14 years of age, and 10,192 wero infants. In 14,179
instances no information was obtained.
In 20,349 instances the native country was not stated ;
of the 309,588 persons remaining, 192,609 were natives of
Ireland, 22,605 of Scotland, and 62,915 were natives of
England ; so that of a hundred, 21 (nearly) of the emi-
grants were English, 7 Scotch, 62 Irish, and 10 foreigners ;
or, of 100 emigrants natives of the United Kingdom, 23
were English, 8 Scotch, and 69 Irish.
The births in England and Wales in the year 1853 were
612,341; the deaths, 421,775 ; leaving an excess of 190,566
in the population, which is reduced to 127,651 by the sub-
traction of the emigrants. As a set-off against the emi-
grants, there is a number of Irish and Scotch immigrants
into England, which the census returns show amount to
many thousands annually. Tho population of England is,
therefore, still increasing, but at a less rapid rate than it
increased formerly.

SCOTCH EDUCATION BILL.

In reply to Mr. BAILLIE,
Lord J. RUSSELL said he intended that this till should
come on on Friday next.
THE NEW BUDGET.

The house having resolved itself into a committee of
ways and means,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose at a
quarter to six, to state the terms of his supplemental esti-
mates. Towards the end of February last, when he submitted
to the house his financial statement the country was not at
war, though the Government, even at that early day, in-
structed him to state, that the money then demanded was
not adequate to carrying on war, and that it would be
again necessary for him to appeal to the house and the
country for a further supply of means for carrying on that
war in which we were BOW engaged. But before he did so he
felt it necessary for his own honour to notice charges which
had been industriously made against him sometimes in this
house, sometimes elsewhere, that he was unworthy to fill
the post which he now occupied. It had been first stated
there was a gross mismanagement of the surplus fund, and
that the lowering of the rate of Exchequer Bills was un-
wise and reckless. He could not pretend that what was
done last session with respect to the unfunded debt was
hastily done. He wished to state that that step was taken
deliberately, and on the ground that the public were
entitled to obtain money in the market, on the
cheapest terms they could. The man who buys his
Exchequer Bills at 58. he knew it was secure, and that he
could get his interest at a certain day, but if he bought at
60 or 70 the case was totally different, for he might lose all
that. Ever since the peace the principle was whenever we
could let out our Exchequer Bills at an easy rate then we let
them out, but when a time of pressure came it was totally
different ; there being only two instances since the peace,
in which theydid not incur a large addition to the debt by
funding Exchequer-bills. It was in easy times they ought
to reduce the unfunded debt, because if they waited till a
time of difficulty they would do it at an enormous
cost. (Hear, hear.) 9,000,000 t. of Exchequer-bills wer
advertised at id. a day, and not a man came forward
to purchase ; but the very first day the word " discount''
appeared, the bills were named at ls. dis., so that for six
months from the time the bills were advertised, they
never were at a substantial discount. But he was
told they had a violent reaction, and the interest
was unduly high ; but, he asked, was that the
case ? He would not take the speculative opinion of an
individual on that point, because the means were at hand
