The return issued by the Bank of England is not
of a satisfactory character ; but, as the changes
which have taken place are partly owing to causes
generally in operation at this season of the year, no
great surprise has been evoked. Subjoined is our
usual analysis :

With the exception of a decrease in the bullion,
amounting to £440,000, and of £1,432,000 in the
current accounts, the return from the Bank of
France is not unfavourable. The notes in circula-
tion have been reduced £2,020,000, the commercial
bills discounted £870,000, and the Treasury ba-
lances £1,432,000.

Advices from Cronstadt state that a violent con-
flagration had broken out there, when 32 houses and a
great number of sheds were reduced to ashes before the
flames could be got under. The loss is estimated at more
than a million of francs.

The journals of the centre and South of France
continue to furnish accounts of disasters occasioned by
storms. In the department of the Rhone a paper mill is
reported as having been struck by lightning and a large
quantity of rags set on fire. Happily the exertions of the
workmen and neighbours saved the buildings and machi-
nery. In the same neighbourhood, at Grand-Pre, a stack
of hay was set on fire and consumed. In many other
places in that department the hail has done great damage
to the crops; in somo localities one half of the harvest is
expected to be lost, in others one-third.

The cotton manufactory of M. Beghin at Armen-
tierei (Nord) has just been destroyed by fire. The loss is
estimated at 40,000 f., but is covered by insurance. A con-
siderable number of workmen are deprived of employment.
THE RIOT AT NEWCASTLE RACES.—At the New-
castle police-court on Wednesday. 18 Irishmen were
charged, on remand, with creating a riot on the Newcastle
Town Moor, after the conclusion of the races on Wednes-
day, June 27th. Six were discharged, but the others were
committed for trial.

THE KING OF BAVARIA.—A German correspon-
dent gives the following account pf this eccentric
Sovereign, and the rapidity with which his neglect of
royal duties has led to his loss of popularity :—" I was in
Munich some days ago, and was surprised to hear the
freedom with which Government measures and the King's
conduct were canvassed. The Bavarian was hitherto ac-
customed to consider the latter as something too sacred to
be attacked. Now, however, you hear in the streets civi
officials, high and low, expressing openly their opinion of
the unworthy and unbecoming behaviour of the monarch.
And then our King!' they will exclaim ironically, after
criticising the state of things in the country; and then
our King l'—as if that word were the climax of perverse
action, as if that word represented the complete non-com-
prehension of the earnestness and the necessities of the
time. And, in truth, it seems to do so. While every
throne is tottering, the young King is unable to leave his
roses on the Staremberg Lake. With the utmost difficulty
he is at last prevailed on to open in person the Chamber,
which is to vote the money for the army. Instead of being
in the capital or coming thither daily as the Emperor of
Austria does from Schonbrunn, ho buries himself in his
castle on the lake ; not, however, to occupy himself with
affairs of State, but—will it be believed ?—with the Sagar
of Lohengrun and medieval poems. instead of thinking of
the impending dangers of the State, of which he is the
head, he writes letters to the burgomaster of a Swiss canton
in order to be admitted as a Swiss citizen. Or, still worse,
ho pens a long condolatory epistle to M. de Bulow, in which
he gives full vent to his indignaton that profane tongues
should have dared to utter their tittle-tattle about his wife,
and promising that he (the King) will do his utmost to find
out and punish the chatterers. His head is full of Marie
Stuart and William Tell when he should bo thinking of
Germany and his subjects. It is thus utter disregard of
every regal duty which has embittered the people so against
him. And; believe me, it takes a good deal to make a
Bavarian not feelfull of enthusiasm for his King. When he
came to the throne he was the idol of the nation. He has
entirely lost its love now."

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF A TOURIST AMONGST
THE ARGYLESHIRE MOUNTAINS. Three young
gentlemen, two of them belonging to Edinburgh, and the
third (Mr. Shepherd, a draughtsman, we believe), from
London, passed Tuesday night near the summit of the range
of high mountains which lie between the road passing by
Rest-and-be-Thankful, and that leading from Lochgoilhead
through Hell's Glen to Inverary. From what we can
learn it appears that the three young men left Edinburgh
by the express train on Tuesday morning, and having
quitted the steamer at Tarbet, on Lochlomond, they pro-
ceeded on foot, via Arrochar, with the view of reach-
ing Inverary that night. One of the party, it
seems, had some knowledge of the locality, and, after
passing Arrochar a few miles, it was resolved to alter their
route, and make their way over the mountains to Loch-
goilhead, which they hoped to reach early in the evening.
Slowly they wended their way up the face of the mountain,
but when near the top they became quite bewildered, a close
mist having closed around them. They travelled on until
near 9 o'clock, unconscious of where they were, or in what
direction they were going, and when passing near the
brink of a deep ravine, Mr. Shepherd lost his footing, and
in a moment disappeared, rolling down the steep bank for
a distance of 40 yards. Alarmed at the occurrence, the
other two young gentlemen cautiously descended
the declivity a little farther down, and directed
to the spot by the moans of their companion
they found him lying quite insensible, and considerably
bruised end cut on various parts of the body, and bleeding
profusely from a largo wound on the back of the head. His
friends friends having administered a small quantity of brandy an'water, and bathed his temples with water,
re-
gained consciousness. On consultation, it bhletvassi°r:sYolved
to remain where they were till daylig
being yesterdayupported
morning, when the party—Mr. Shepherd
by his companions—proceeded to follow tbeheincoguis-se of the
ravine. Ultimately, about six o cloc , they. reached the
road from which they bad deviated the previous forenoor
They were then quite exhausted ; but a conveyance having
been obtained, the party, after getting some refreshments,
proceeded to Glasgow.
