M. Behic, Minister of Agriculture, Commerce,
and Public Works, who is at present at Marseilles,
paid a visit two days back to La Seyne, where he
inspected the docks and workshops.

A fatal occurrence took place off llavre, at about
three miles from the shore, the day before yester-
day. The smack Eugenie,• having on board the
master, named Fleury, his son-in-law, Assemin, and
a seaman named Gauvin, was suddenly upset by a
squall and went down. Fleury and Gauvin were
drowned, but Assemin having reached two oars that
were floating by him obtained a sufficient support
to get rid of his heavy boots and a portion of his
clothing, and then maintained himself on the sur-
face of the water until he was picked up by a boat
returning from one of the vessels in the roadstead.

The cholera returns from Naples and Genoa are
lesi favourable. We learn by telegraphic despatch,
dated yesterday, that in the former city the number
of new cases the day before was 115, and deaths 85.
At Genoa there were 35 new cases and 27 deaths.

A Stuttgard letter states that negotiations for
the conclusion of a Government loan hare succeeded. The
firm of Rothschild has engaged to furnish the wh .le sum
of 14 millions of florins (2f. 50c. each) to tho Government
on conditions relatively advantageous.
HEALTHY HOUSES.—The New_ York Bureau of
Vital Statistics, and several physicians of that city, are
pointing out lessons to be learnt from the waste of life
which has just occurred by cholera. Foremost among
them is the value of fresh air. Dr. L. W. Lewis states that
s of
the best prevention of cholera is to keep the
the
your house open night and day, and let fresh air aadditional
lungs and ventilate the rooms, putting
clothing if necessary. Dr. F. Hamilton,
broke out upon Blackwell's Island, keptheir
rooms open all

A letter from Otaheite, dated the 14th June, in
the Constitutionnel, says :—" The schooner of the Protec-
torate Napo. left Callon, on tho 24th and Payta the 29th
of April, and arrived here the 30th May, and brings news
from Europe to the 31st of March. The law which inter-
dicts the free pasturage of animals in the islands of Tahiti
and Moorea was promulgated on the 3d April, as well as
that on the civil state of the subjects of the protectorate.
These two measures advance the country another step on
the road to civilisation, on which it entered some years
back. For economic reasons, the functions of Director of
the Interior have been suppressed, and will be exercised in
future' by the intendant. The sailing transport Euryale,
commanded by Lieut. Jacquemart, left on the sth of May
for the Gambier islands, with a detachment of ten soldiers
of the marina infantry."
