FRANCE.

The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric situation yesterday :
"In France the barometer continues to rise, and
this morning marked 774 mm. on the mountains of
Auvergne. The wind is strong at Boulogne under
the influence of an atmospheric depression which
seems to exist on the North Sea. The sky, fine on
the south of France, is overcast on the Channel and
North Sea. The wind is W. on England and the
north of France. Calm prevails on the coasts of
Italy. The barometer is falling, and the wind is
strong from E. or NE. at Gibraltar and Lisbon."
—At Paris yesterday the weather was delightful
though rather cloudy at times. At three in the
afternoon the thermometer marked 24.7 Centigrade
(76 2-5 Fahrenheit).
BOURSE, July 10.—Two o'clock.—ln proportion
as the suspense caused by the absence of any defi-
nite intelligence respecting the solution of existing
European difficulties increases, the market continues
to lose confidence considerably, less business is
transacted, and quotations necessarily show a gene-
ral if not very important decline. To-day conver-
sation is running high on the departure of Prince
Napoleon for his Italian Majesty's head quarters,
on the spirited manifesto of the Emperor of Austria
to his subjects, and on the generally haughty tone
taken by the Prussian and Italian press concerning
the cession of Venetia to France. The Stock
hitherto most affected by the present complications
is the Italian Loan—now somewhat difficult of
negociation at a fall of 80c., the present price being

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

CAMBRIDGE.
All opposition on the part of the Liberals to the
return of Lord Royston is abandoned.

DEVON (NORTH).

Sir John Kennaway, the Iligh Sheriff of Devon,
has appointed Saturday next for the election of a
knight of the shire in the room of Sir S. H. North-
cote, who has been appointed President of the Board
of Trade. There is no probability of an opposition.
The hon. baronet has issued an address, in which
he says :—"
Having been among you so lately, and
looking forward to so early an opportunity of meet-
ing you again, I need not at present enter upon a
discussion of the political situation of the country
either as regards its foreign relations or its domestic
affairs. Lord Derby has been called upon to take
office under circumstances of much difficulty, and I

to afford all the assistance in my humble power to

PIE ed leader under whom I have so long
been proud to act, and I believe that under his
auspices peace will be preserved abroad and progress
maintained at home, and I am convinced that the
policy which insures these results will meet with
your approval." An attempt was made by a cer-
tain section of the Liberals on Saturday to bring
out Mr. T. C. Thompson, of Sherburn-hall, in op-
position to Mr. Mowbray ; but down to Monday
the appearances were that Mr. Mowbray's re-elec-
tion would be unopposed.

How TO PRESERVE Fish.—The hot season is
upon us, and in preserving fresh fish for any length of
time heavy demands are made upon the ice house. But
ice cannot always be obtained, and in such a dilemma a
recipe which now occupies the attention of science may be
employed to advantage. "Take crumbs of fresh bread,
and, with spirits of wino,' make a paste ; with this paste
stop the mouth and gills of the fish, and envelope it in rush
nettles ; over the nettles wrap straw, and let the straw be
watered now and then." It is claimed that by this simple
operation fresh fish will be preserved several days in the
'hottest of weather, and that they will suffer but little in
transporting them thousands of miles in the height of sum-
mer.—New York Paper.

Duty on Fire Insurances.

The Parliamentary Return of the Insurance Duty
paid in 1865 has just been published, and is the last
return which will embody the differential rates on
stock (Is. 6d. per cent.) and OA buildings and furni-
ture (3s. per cent.).
For the purpose of comparing the business of
each company in 1865 with that in 1864 we have
made up an account for the two years as though the
duty had remained at 3s. per cent. We thus get a
measure of the progress of each company, and the
result is as follows. It appears that the Royal is
again greatly in advance of all the other offices as

RUFFIANLY ASSAULT.—Edmund Keefe, a tall, rough-
looking young follow, was brought up on a warrant,
charged with a ruffianly assault upon Mr. Robert Whitaker,
a greengrocer.

Complainant said he was passing through Ebury-square,
Pimlico, on the evening of the IGth of June, when a man
came up to him and inquired what business ho had with
another man, whom he said he had been speaking to that
morning, and immediately upon that the defendant came
up and struck him twice in the face, and then went away,
Mr. Arnold—What did the defendant say to you ?
Complainant—Nothing.
Mr. Arnold—What was the cause of his assaulting you ?
Complainant—That I cannot say—l want to know. I
have given him no provocation of any description.
Mr. Arnold—Do you knuw anything of the defendant ?
Complainant—l never saw him before.
Mr. Arnold—Was he drunk ?

Complainant—Not that I am aware of ; he did not ap-
pear so.

Defendant—This man comes up to me, didn't you? and
says, " What do you do that for ?" and says, "I'll give you
a drive on jaw," didn't you? and I says, "What for ?"
didn't I ?

Complainant—l know nothing about all this. It is all
this man's own imagination.
Defendant—All I have got to say is, I was drunk, and
don't know anything about it.
Mr. Arnold—You have this moment pretended to give
some account of what he said and what you said. It is too
bad that a stranger cannot walk the public streets without
being attacked wantonly by a ruffian like you. You are
committed for 14 days.

CENTRAL WALES EXTENSION.

A special meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the offices, Westminster-chambers ; Mr.
W. F. Maitland in the chair.

The Cuair.3lAN stated that additional capital was
required to complete the line, and they had the as-
surance of their engineer (Mr. Robertson) that, if
the necessary funds were supplied, there would be
no difficulty in completing the line as far as Llan-
wyrtd in two or three months, and the entire line
in about 15 months. He concluded by moving a
resolution, authorising the creation and issue of ad-
ditional capital to the amount of £150,000 in shares
of £lO each ; £130,000 being in five per cent. pre-
ference shares, and £20,000 in ordinary shares.
Mr. Price, M.P., seconded the motion, and it was
carried.

pROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR

HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
a,re, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
moot this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, .£2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT ,D.D., No. 22,
Finsbury-circus, B.C.

Duty on Fire Insurances.

The Parliamentary Return of the Insurance Duty
paid in 1865 has just been published, and is the last
return which will
.embody the differential rates on
stock (Is. 6d. per cent.) and on buildings and furni-
ture (3s. per cent.).
For the purpose of comparing the business of
each company in 1865 with that in 1864 we have
made up an account for the two years as though the
duty had remained at 3s. per cent. We thus get a
measure of the progress of each company, and the
result is as follows. It appears that the Royal is
again greatly in advance of all the other offices as
respects increase of business

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day,

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.
CHARGE AND COtiNTER-CHARGE.—Mary M'Evoy was
charged with violently assaulting her husband, Edward
M'E voy.
The complainant, whose head was bandaged, said that
about one o'clock that morning his wife, who was mad
drunk, threw all the tea-things at him, cutting his head
so badly that he lost a great quantity of blood, and had to
be taken to the hospital. It was the third time his wife
had assaulted him.
Police-constable 112 F said he took the prisoner into
custody, and afterwards went with the complainant to the
hospital, where he had several pieces of crockery taken
from the wounds in his head, and the surgeon told him to
attend again.
The defendant said that on Saturday night her husband
used the poker on her, and she was covered with bruises.
She was black and blue through her husband's ill-usage.
Mr. Knox said he would remand the defendant for a
week, to ascertain the result of the complainant's injuries,
and some persons from the houeo could attend to let him
know something of the parties.
WESTMINSTER.

RUFFIANLY ASSAULT.—Edmund Reef() a tall, rough-
looking young fellow, was brought up on a warrant,
charged with a ruffianly assault upon Mr. Robert Whitaker,
a greengrocer.
Complainant said he was passing through Ebury-square,
Pimlico, on the evening of tho 16th of Juno, when a man
came up to him and inquired what business he had with
another man, whom he said he had been speaking to that
morning, and immediately upon that the defendant came
up and struck him twice in the face, and then went away.
Mr. Ain°ld—What did the defendant say to you ?
Complainant—Nothing.
Mr. Arnold—What was the cause of his assaulting you ?
Complainant—That I cannot say—l want to know. I
have given him no provocation of any description.
Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of the defendant ?
Complainant—l never saw him before.
Mr. Arnold—Was he drunk ?
Complainant—Not that I am aware of ; ho did not ap-
pear so.

Defendant —This man comes up to me, didn't you ? and
says, " What do you do that for ?" and says, " I'll give you
a drive on jaw," didn't you ? and I says, "What for ?"
didn't I ?

Complainant—l know nothing about all this. It is all
this man's own imagination.
Defendant—All I have got to say is, I was drunk, and
don't know anything about it.
Mr. Arnold—You have this moment pretended to give
some account of what he said and what you said. It is too
bad that a stranger cannot walk the public streets without
being attacked wantonly by a ruffian like you. You are
comniitt©d for 14 days.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

CAMBRIDGE.
All opposition on the part of the Liberals to the
return of Lord Royston is abandoned.

DEVON (NORTH).

Sir John Kennaway, the High Sheriff of Devon,
has appointed Saturday next for the election of a
knight of the shire in the room of Sir S. H. North-
cote, who has been appointed President of the Board
of Trade. There is no probability of an opposition.
The hon. barbnet has issued .an address, in which
he says :--«
Having been among you so lately, and
looking forward to so early an opportunity of meet-
ing you again, I need not at present enter upon a
discussion of the political situation of the country
either as regards its foreign relations or its domestic
affairs. Lord Derby has been called upon to take
office under circmmstances of much difficulty, and I
feel sure that there will be a general disposition ou
the part of the country to allow the new Adminis-
tration to mature the measures which it will be their
tion when they are brought forward."

D (crry).
The Right Hon. J. R. Mowbray, having accepted
Advocate-General, has issued
the office of Judge"
an address to the electors of Durham, soliciting re-
election. Mowbray says :—"" The Government
of Lord Derby has been most
.
unexpectedly called
a period of no ordinary
upon to assume office at
anxiety, and of unusual difficulty. I feel assured
that parliament and the country will accord to them
that fair trial and that favourable consideration to

leader under whom I have so long
been proud to act, and I believe that under his
auspices peace will be preserved abroad and progress
maintained at home, and I am convinced that the
policy which insures these results will meet with
your approval." An attempt was made by a cer-
tain section of the Liberals on Saturday to bring
out Mr. T. C. Thompson, of Sherburn-hall, in op-
position to Mr. Mowbray ; but down to Monday
the appearances were that Mr. Mowbray's re-elec-
tion would be unopposed.

How TO PRESERVE FISII.—The hot season is
upon us, and in preserving fresh fish for any length of
time heavy.demands are made upon the ice house. But
ice cannot always bo obtained, and in such a dilemma a
recipe which now occupies the attention of science may bo
employed to advantage. "Take crumbs of fresh broad,
and, with spirits of wine, make a paste ; with this paste
stop the mouth and gills of the fish, and envelope it in rush
nettles ; over the nettles wrap straw, and let the straw be
watered now and then." It is claimed that by this simple
operation fresh fish will be preserved several days in the
hottest of weather, and that they will suffer but little in
transpdrting them thousands of miles in the height of sum-
mer.—New York Paper.
