It is said that the Ministers of these tyro rowers demanded
Otplanalions from the Nuncio, and received an assurance
that he had had no previous knowledge of the address. How-
e\-et, it is certain that this grave attack, from a man so high
in the Church, has caused a great sensation."

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
The 2lfoniteur Parisien says that the pit at Fam-
poux, into which the carriages fell on the occurrence
ofthe accident on the Great Northern Railroad on the
Bth, has been carefully explored by fifteen hussars,
who have plunged into every part of it, and that no
bodies were remaining there.

The Patrie of Wednesday evening has the fol-
lowing :
" A report was current to-day at the Binirse that a second
very serious accident had happened on the Northern Rail-
road. According to our usual prudence we have again ap-
plied at the office of the company, and the secretary has
declared to us that no news of this kind had reached it. We
sincerely hope that this contradiction may not have the fate
4of that which was given a week ago."

Accounts have been received from Algiers to the

stantina have all submitted and pail up their contri-
butions, and five Arabs who were concerned in
attacking a convoy of wounded soldiers have, been
delivered up to the French authorities.
The Courrier de la Giroede gives the following account
of the state of the crops in that district :—" The 'wheat
harvest has nearly terminated throughout all the depart-
ment, and in many places advant-ge is being taken of the
fine weather to thrash the corn. Tlts operation but toofully
confirms the fears entertained that the hot weather of the
early part of June would affect the quantity of the crop. The
potatoes looked tine at first, mid held out tavourable hopes,
but at present there Is reason to tear that the quantity will
not be great, but should this be the case it will be in some
measure compensated for by the goodness of the quality.
The field vegetables, such as beans, lentils, &c., have been
So intich injured by the late dry weather that a very light
crop is expected. The vine has been highly favoured by the
weather of the last month, aad the late rains have tended
much to improve the swelling of the fruit; its vigorous
growth is a matter of astonishment even to those who daily-
watch its progress. From the failure in the crop of certain
vineyards, and the havoc caused by the late storms, we may
however calculate that this year will be but a middling one_
with regard to quantity, but there is every reason to hope
that the quality will be good. If the present weather con-
tinues, we may expect the vintage to commence in the early
part of September."

We noticed last week a strange report current in po-
litical circles, to the effect that Lord Arthur Lenntx had.
felt himselfcompelled to leave abruptly a recent protection .
ist dinner party given by Mr. Hudson, in'. conseluence--,Of
cerain remarks made by his host. We haVe -since receiVed'a
letter from a protectionist partisan present at this remark-
able gathering, which goes far to confirm the truth of that
report; for though it states that our version of the affair is
incorrect, it admits the main fact, namely, that Lord A.
Lennox on hearing the speech of Mr. 'Hudson in pro-
posing Lord G. Bentinck's health, thought it incompatible
with his personal or political respect for Sir R. Peel to remain
longer in the company. Our gallant correspondent tells us,
indeed, that it, was not intended that Lord Arthur Lennox
should have been one of the party, and that his presence
there was owing to the accidental misdirection of an invita-
tion destined for Lord H. Lennox; but this mistake most
assuredly ought not to have disentitled Lord Arthur to that
gentlemanly ;:onsideration which a c' urteous hort ever extent's
to his guest, teiiaigh he b. not a welc,me one, as in the
presew instance. In conclusion. we have to make, in all
titirness to our corre,yontlent, this; propositioh—ronely. thAt
as he and cocitident nport are at isAte as t,) the language
used try Mr. Ilu,lson in eulogising- the public virtues, tried
consistency, &c., &e., of Lord George Bentinek, he should
furnish to us an authentic report of Mr. Hudson's speech,
and thus enable the public to form their own conclusions on
the subjcet. They will then be in a con& ion to decide
whether, without the absolute mention of Sir R. Peel's name,
he may not have been very offensively assailed.—Observer.

From a Yarliamemary Piper issued on S:turtitty,
giving an account of the net Public Income of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in the year ended the
sth day of July, 1846 (after abating the expenditure there,
out defrayed by t,,e several revenue departments), and of the
actual issues or payments within the same period, exeln,ive
of the sums at plied to the redemption of funded or paying off
unfunded debt, and of the advances and re-payments for local
works,&e., it appears that the eXces,s of income over expettrli-

WEST INDIA. PINES.—The importation of pil-te-
apples is not confined to the port Of London or the places in
transit thereto from the place of their growth. A ves,el
called the Rival has arrived at the port of Liverpool, from
Nassau, New Providence. having on board, besides 74 live
turtle and the usual description of cargo, 600 dozen of this
fruit, the production of the place. So large an importation
into the port of Liverpool will have the effect of making them
as plentiful there as they are in the metropolis.
Tonacco.—The regie, or Governor; nt tobacco
monopoly in France. sold in 1844 seventeen millions and a
half kilogrammes of tobacco, which produced 107 millions of
francs ; the expenses were thirty millions of francs. A cu-
rious picture is presented by the table of the average con-
sempticn in each department. Thus in Lozere, Arriege, and
,;ers. southern departments, the least tobacco i- used ; while
in the Pas de Calais, Nord, and Seine, northern departments,
the greatest average is reached. Paris consumes thegreatest
quantify of snuff.

The Directors of the London Joint-Stock Bank have
declared a dividend at the rate of six per cent., and the
surplus profit carried to the guarantee fund makes that fund
110,873/. A question was raised at the meeting relative
to a division of the amount over and above 100,0004,
some of the shareholders seeming to think that the
maximum of a reserve should not exceed that sum ; but
the directors, it appears, imagine that 120,000/. or 150.000/.
should he the limit, and they have promised to consider the
question and report by the next meeting.
DISCOVERY OF A ROMAN PAVEMENT NEAR TRE BANE.
—On Friday, in making excavations for the formation of a
sewer in Founders-court, near Tokenhouse-yard, between
there and the Bank of England, the men discovered at, a
depth of about thirteen feet from the surface, several feet of
a Roman pavement. Its appearance showed that it. had been
much worn. It had fottned the ground floor of some apart-
ment, as the walls still remained, and were constructed of
Kentish rags, strongly cemented together.
The prospects of the wheat harvests are everywhere
most promising, and reaping has commenced in somee dis-
tricts of this county. American flour is now clued in this
market at about ss. per sack below tho current price of Eng-
lish, and is considered equal in quality to our own growth.—
