of the uniform of the infantry of the line, suppressing
the present coat, great coat, and belts, for the dress and
belts now worn by the Foot Chasseurs, is confidently
stated to be decided on. " This alteration," it adds, "is
to be extended to the artillery and engineers, but each
corps will preserve its distinguishing colours and facings.
Nothing, it seems, is yet determined upon as to the dress
of the cavalry."
-- A letter dated-Leghon, 24th ult.,--tontains the fol-
lowing passage :—" To judge from what is passing
round us, one is naturally led to believe that-We are on
the, eve of some_ great terrestrial revolution.. We have
just been witness of an atmosperic phenomenon,
which we could wish to hear explained by some natu-
ral philosopher. On Sattulay the I7th ult., at three
o'clock in the morning, an extremely hot wind set in
with gusts from the south-west ; it might, without ex-
aggeration, be compared to the steam produced by a heated
furnace. Every one in consequence rose, finding them-
selves much oppressed. There
.were four thermometers
exposed by scientific persons, whichat mid-day marked
26 degrees ; at one o'clock, 276 ; at a quarter past one,
28 ;at half-past one, 29 ;at two, 30. At this point the
thermometers, after having vacillated as the wind rose
and fell, until three o'clock, descended gradually until
eight o'clock in the afternoon, when they marked only
26 degrees. At the same time the elevation of the
quicksilver in the barometer was 28 inches without va-
riation. During the morning of the 22d, at half-past
two, three shocks of an • earthquake were felt, accom-
panied by a considerable noise from the west. Much
apprehension was entertained that some calamities would
be announced from other parts of Italy."
A letter from Geneva announces that " the police
has arrested at the inn called the Grand Aigle, a partner
in one of the first banking houses of Vienna. He had
about him noes and bills to the amount of 150,000 f., and
a considerable sum of money. Some say that this per-
son has absconded with this property belonging to the
house ; others pretend that it is the principal partner in
the house, Mr. Steiner, who has been arrested as sus-
pected of fraudulent bankruptcy, and that it was disco-
vered from a letter that his accomplice was to arrive at
Geneva on a certain day." Gazette de France.

SAINT JEAN RED:DE-PORT, JULY 26.—Yesterday
evening nine Spanish priests came from Estella to the
Aldudes ; seven,of them passed through this town going
to Mauleon, and beyond it towards Pau. They are of
the number of those who will not submit to the orders of
Esparterd concerning the last bull of the Pope. They
were to be arrested. It appears that a great number of
their brethren have been thrown into prison.—Le Com-
merce.

The Constitutionnel has a passage in which it inti-
mates that M. Humann has submitted to the Council of
Ministers several proposals tending to reduce the expen-
diture of 1843 to an equality with the revenue, consider-
ing that the late Convention between the Five Powers
seems to promise some repose to Europe. Certainly if
M. Humann would attempt to reduce only useless and
unprofitable disbursements, we should heartily approve
his perseverance in demanding that the expenditure shall
not exceed the revenue. But if it is intended under
the pretext of economy to recommend the ridiculous
and in the end burdensome operations of diminishing the
effective strength of our army and navy, we shall oppose
it to the utmost of our power, and will spare no pains to
communicate to the country our just. apprehension.
The situation of France and of Europe will not allow a
disarming to be thought of. The only result would be
that perhaps in less than six months it would be neces-
sary again to form, on a sudden, the Cadres and the
Material, which had been disorganised. Meantime we
should be weak and condemned to inaction. In a word,
short-sighted politicians are ever labouring to place France
in the situation from which the Ministry of the Ist of
March endeavoured to extricate it.—Le Commerce.

A TORY LrE.—lt having been communicated to us
that Lord Campbell had left this country for England—
and such a departure, under his Lordship's circum-
stances, being necessarily final—we made the announce-
ment to that effect. It now appears that we had been
misinformed. His Lordship, with Lady Stratheden and
the Hon. Miss Campbell, are at present on a visit to
Lord and Lady Talbot de Malahide, at Malahide Castle.
—Dublin Evening Mail.
THE SPEAKERSHIP—We have reason to known that
Sir Robert Peel has communicated to Mr. C. Shaw Le-
fevre his intenticn to support the re-election of that gen-
tleman in the event of his being proposed, on the meet-
ing of the new Parliament, as Speaker of the House of
Commons. We may add that those personal and poli-
tical friends of the Right Hon. Baronet to whom this
intention has been imparted, concur unanimously in
the propriety of the decision. It is known to our readers
that we should have preferred a different course. We
are perfectly aware that a different course would have
been preferred by some valuable Conservative Members
of the House of Commons; but this does not prevent the
expression of our firm belief and of our earnest hope,
that, all circumstances being duly considered, the
Ccinservative Members of the House of Commons will
unanimously embrace the decision, adopted, for himself,
by Sir Robert Peel.— Morniug Post.

COCICNEYCALITIES OF " THE SUN."—An
amusing letter appeared in the Times of yesterday, under
this heading, addressed to that paper from a Corres-
pondent at Ilfracombe, and we candidly confess that we
have not seen any true statement in the Times, with this
y
exception, for the last three months. The writer of the
letter, who styles himself "An Observer (and an Ad-
rhiarter
wetoo
confounded
) of '
Times'and Seasons," justl complains
grouse-shooting with pheasant-
shooting, and-that the Ist of Septembr was erroneously
put down for the Ist of October. Possibly the para-
graph in question was written by a Cockney ; at all
events it was not written by one who had shot muir-
fowls in Scotland, or been at a battue in the parks of the
Dukes of Rutland and Beaufort. But could not this ob-
servant Correspondent be impartial, and point out the
blunders of the Times about the shooting of people in
Ireland ? He evidently is a good aristocrat, and thinks
pheasant-shooting a matter of the first.importance.
