"The A nglo-French Commission on the fisheries,"
says the Etenlard, " continues to meet frequently
at the Ministry of Marine. A spirit of liberality la
manifested more and more amongst its member!'
and there are reasons for thinking that it is in th°
sense the Convention of 1839 between the tw°
Powers will be revised. The principle of the
right of exclusive fishing, reserved to the fisher-
men of each country in the national waters, does
not appear open to discussion ; but a complete
liberty might be granted to those of both to land
and dispose of their fish in the ports of either."
From the educational statistics introduced into
the fourth volume of the Census Report of the
United States for 1860 we glean the following
figures :—The number of elementary public sae°
is estimated at 100,000, and of elementary private
schools at 50,000. There are nearly 7,000 academie!
and public high schools, and not quite 500 college°
and professional seminaries. In 17 Northern Statet
from which recent reports have been received, snore
than 5,000,000 pupils are taught in the 154113j1-
schools, at au annual expense of nearly $23,000,000‘
The Italie says that the Western Powers ha!!
taken up the Eastern question diplomatically`
Turkey, it says, has addressed to them a Note alter
plaining of the policy of Greece, and Greece on 13
part has sent a counter-note, arraigning the calcinet
of Turkey, adding that if justice be not done to 1;
she will adopt efficacious measure to defend 13re
rights. Upon this the Italie remarks that it is 113%,
easy to make threats than to carry them into execof
tion. A war against Greece would be the signal.„o
the ruin of the Ottoman Empire. If the Turks ha'
not been able to conquer the Greeks citilif
ing a war of six years, from 1821 to 1821'
in 1866 they had not the power to red
the island of Crete, how can they hope to cong."o.
Greece ? Europe would not allow them to do 50
She would infallibly interfere, and the Ottorla,
Empire would emerge from the crisis she had es°lc'
if not ruined, at least very much weakened.

On the 31st of December last the Mont Ce 74
tunnel had been excavated to the extent of 6, :'de,
metn-2.7, le,ing 2,434 on the Aiodane or French 8,..1,00
and 3,940 on the side of Bardonneche. Of t,7103
6,374 metres, 1,025 were excavated in 1866. '4O
whole length of the tunnel is estimated at 12,`,,c1
metres, so that more than half has been done,
5,845 remain.
A new line of railway was opened last week he,
ecl
tween Calais and Boulogne. At present it is °ell
only for local traffic, but about the middle of *let
the through trains to Paris will begin to run ntiv.
it, and half-an-hour will thus be saved in the 3°
