THE FRENCH FUNDS.

According to Reuter's telegrams the French
Rentes to-day were quoted 73f. 90c. Heavy.

W URTEMBERG.—The two parties in Wurtemberg
who united their efforts to defeat the military system and
overthrow the Ministry, are alike dissatisfied with the
results. They regard the retirement of a portion of the
Cabinet as altogether illusory, and the concessi. .ks which
are offered to them as insignificant. Two manifestoes
have been issued by the German party and the
popular party, and published in the Stuttgard
journals. The German party accuse the Go-
vernment of taking no heed of the wishes
of the people, and invite the deputies of the majority to
close their ranks and defend their principles with courage,
since the people will not abandon their representatives in
the struggle. The address of the popular, party shews the
same dissatisfaction. The Ministers, it says, are not
agreed among themselves. They ought to have stood by
the measure they had introduced to the last, or have dis-
solved the Chamber. Instead of following this Constitu-
tional course they propose insignificant concessions. The
antecedents of the Ministers do not permit the popular
party to doubt that they intend to maintain the new
military system.

RAILROAD DISTURBANCES IN GEORGIA.-A
dispatch hos been received in Washington from Mr.
Cowans, vice-president of the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad, in Georgia, stating that the recent disturbances
on the Georgian Railroad were not caused by the non-
payment of wages, but were fomented to obtain the
removal of the superintendent, who is a prominent Repub-
lican. The civil authorities encouraged the men in their
demand in hopes of driving off the Northern employes.
General Terry has ordered more troops to Brunswick.

THE PERSIAN GULF.—The Madras Tunes of
March Ist gives news from the Persian Gulf. A large
force of Wahahees is advancing on Bereymeh, and likely
to seize all the northern portion of Oman. The Wahaheex
are led by Abdoolla Vin Feysul, Ameer of Riadh, son of
the Ameer whom M. Palgrave visited, and they are ad-
vancing by land and sea. The sea force is expected to
attempt a landing at Aboothahee, near Bereyweh.
REPUBLICANS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES IN
FRANCE.—The Republican Democratic Committee have
drawn up a series of conditions of which they require the
acceptance by any candidate aspiring to obtain their suf-
frages at the pending elections. They insist that such
candidate-1. Must have the ability, the will, and the cou-
rage to defend popular interests under a despotic Govern-
ment. 2. The deputy must hold all his time at the dispo-
sition of the district which elects him ; consequently when
there is no business in the Chamber he must visit the
electoral districts of his circumscription to collect protests,
demands, and complaints, which will form the business of
his legislative mission. 3. He must especially explain to
the electors in public or private meetings political and
social rights in the exercise of liberty. 4. If he be an
advocate, he must only defend neglected rights and out-
raged liberties, and that gratuitously. 5. If he be a
literary man, the produce of his labours should be ap-
plied to the dissemination of democratic ideas through the
periodical Press, and to the organisation of free is-. 4-1 secu-
lar schools.

IRE IJROUGHT IN PALESTINE.—The following is
dated March 18, and is from Mr. Cook, of tourist cele-
brity :—"I landed at Faffa this day month, with sixty
tourists, and we found on landing there a messenger from
our consul at Jerusalem, advising us that, through the
scarcity of water, the country was in such an unsettled
state it would dot do for our party to attempt to proceed
without a strong miiitary escort. I left the party in charge
of Mr. Thomas Cook, and I am happy to inferm all inte-
rested that, byletter just to hand, dated Jerusalem, March
Bth, my father informs me they have had so ranch rain
that it has been very difficult for them to proceed, which
they do not at all regret, as alroady the rain has done a
great deal of good to the country." •
