PARIS, RINE 3.
In the Legislative Body, MM. Darimon, Jules
Fayre, E. 011ivier, Henan, and Picard, having
given notice of their intention to propose a reduc-
tion of 1,000,000 fr. in the secret service money,
the committee on the budget thus remarks on the
proposition :—" The object of this amendment ap-
pears to be not so much to criticise the amount of
the credit, as to obtain the revision of certain penal
laws. The committee which you have charged to
examine the budget does not think that it has re-
ceived from you authority to deliberate on such a
matter, and it therefore proposes to you to vote
the sum of 2,000,000 fr., which for several years
past has been accorded, without its necessity
having ever been contested."

THE CROPS IN IRELAND.—During the last few
days copious and refreshing rains have fallen in Wexford,
Belfast, and other parts of Ireland, This rainfall has been
most opportune for the flax crop, which was in a very cri
tical position, andwas the subject of much uneasiness, from
the unusually large extent of land on which flax has been
sown this year. On the grass lands, also, the effect will be
most beneficial. Similar (mouth reach us from 'Mew

THE VICTOR.QI IiALLS IN AFRICA.

Some very interesting news has been received
from Dr. Livingstone. His description of the
Victoria Falls is worth quoting. He says :

" After a second visit, I am inclined to believe
that the Vittoria Falls are the most wonderful in
the world. It is the only grand sight the gentle
Africans have to show. I tried to get them taken
by an artist, but, to my regret, I failed. The
breadth is not one thousand yards, as I conjectured,
but between one statute and one geographical
mile—we say 1,860 yards, by way of assisting the
memory, but it is a little more. Then the river of
this breadth leaps down, not 100 feet, but 310 feet,
e.e., if my memory deceives me not, double the depth
of Niagara. It is a few feet more, as the weight
attached to our line rested on a slope near the bot-
tom. Then the fissure into which it falls, though,
when seen from Garden Island, is like the letter L,
is prolonged in the most remarkable zig-zag manner,
The promontory formed by the zig-zag enabled me
to see the falls on the east side, as well as from the
island, and being. level, and of the same altitude as
the bed of the river above the falls, you can walk
along and see the river some 300 feet before you,
and on both sides of you, jammed in a space of 20
or 30 yards. The base of one promontory is only
130 paces from a dry fissure, and the base of another
is only 400 paces broad, measuring from the fall
fissui eto it. Nothing but several oil paintings
could give an idea of the wonderful scene, and it
was sorely against my will that I had to forego
this, which would have been a feather in the cap of
our expedition, and a good thing for our artist as
well.

" The river was now very low—never saw it so
dry; indeed, people could wade from the north bank
to my Garden Island. This enabled me to see the
whole thing plainly, but even now there were 800
feet of waterfall. The columns of vapour
were fewer; only two good ones I think.
I could not measure their height—probably over 200
feet. The lips of the fissure at Garden Island, when
measured by sextants, were eighty feet ; but we
could not throw a stone across, so it may be more.
Come when you may, you will not be disappointed
by the falls of Victoria. We bought canoes at
Sinamanes, and dropped down the stream to below
Chicona. Kensalo has no impediment, but a basaltic
dyke a little below it makes a dangerous rapid for
canoes.

" There is another dangerous rapid for canoes at
Mburuma's, but a boat would go through easily.
The canoes were but six inches above the water,
and easily filled."

MARLBOROUGH. STREET.

FRIGHTFUL ASSAULT WITH A KNIFE,—Mary Hodgson,
a stout violent tempered woman, was charged before Mr.
Mansfield with assaulting her husband, Robert Hodgson,
a messenger, residing at No, 2, Noel-street, Soho, in the
following desperate manner:—

From the evidence of the complainant, whose nose was
scarcely visible for adhesive plaster, it appeared that he
went home about 11 the previous night, his wife being in
bed and the worse for liquor. She asked him to give her
some money, and he said he would the next day. She then
got out of bed and seized him by the hair and whiskers,
and on his trying to push her away she struck him in the
face with a knife, splitting his nose completely in two—so
entirely, indeed, that the sides of it lay on his cheek, and
cutting his lip. He then gave his wife into custody, and
went to the hospital, where his nose was sewed up. He
had had one child by his wife before marriage, and she had
often assaulted him before.
Greenhorn, C Division, handed in the following certifi-
cate :

" Midlesex ,une 4.
" Robert Hodgson came t this hospitaHospital l, and is suffering
from an extensive wound on the nose and lip.
"W. N onnis MARSH, House Surgeon."
Mr. Mansfield said it was a serious case, and the prisoner
must be remanded for a week.
The prisoner frequently interrupted the proceedings.

PRUSSIA.

In the Prussian Chamber of Deputies on the
31st ult., before the vote on the War Budget was
taken, Prince Hohenzollern read a declaration to
the effect that the Government, in order to defend
the security and maintain the power of Prussia,
must insist in principle on the demand for the aug-
mentation of the army, and could not, as regards
the reductions to be effected, exceed a certain
limit ; however, to show a conciliatory spirit, it
would, he said, admit the amendment of M. Kuhne,
proposing a reduction of 750,000 thalers, which is
within that limit. That amendment was adopted.

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

TILE ARMY.

The annual regimental dinner of the Ist Life
Guards took place at the London Tavern on Satur-
day, the Ist inst.

The paddlewheel steamer Punjab, the arrival of
which from India has been previously announced,
disembarked her troops at Government-quay,
Gravesend, yesterday. ' The Punjab sailed from
Bombay on the Bth of February, rounded the Cape
of Good Hope on the 16th of March, encountering
very bad weather; reached St. Helena on the 7th
of April, and sailed thence on the 11th of the same
month. She passed Ascension on the 19th April,
and sighted the Lizard on the 23d May. During
the principal portion of the voyage south of the
Equator the ship encountered light easterly winds.
The number of troops who embarked at Bombay
was 118 men of all ranks, with 8 women and 9
children, belonging to various regiments, the whole
under the command of Major C. F. Kelly, 18th
Royal Irish, and Lieut. W. G. Shanty, Ist Royals.
The number of deaths on board during the passage
was nine, including Lieut. Dowell, of the Punjab.
The Punjab made the voyage to England under
sail, her paddlewheels having been taken out. She
has been sent home to be altered to a screw steamer,
and she will be docked at Woolwich for that purpose.

In accordance with orders received at Chatham
from the War Department upwards of 2,000 of
Martin's liquid iron shells had been supplied to the
principal batteries in the Chatham district, the
greater number having been distributed to Tilbury
Fort and New Tavern Fort, and the defences at the
entrance to the river Medway. Cupolas for melt-
ing the iron have been furnished to each of the
stations named. The cupola for preparing the mol -
ten iron with which Martin's shells are charg( d
consists of cylindrical shell of thick wrought iron,
lined with prepared fire-bricks, with a blast fan
attached. The cupola and fan are mounted on a
frame furnished with four travelling wheels, each of
which is 24 inches in diameter. An apparata,l
contrived for driving the fan with manual labour is
connected with the cupola when in use, by two I le-
rods, each about 111 feet in length ; but these al 0
removable, so that when in motion the cupola and
driving apparatus are entirely separate. The driving
gear of the fan is so constructed that, whemser
steam power is available, it can at once be applied,in-
stead of manual labour, Aveling's portable agricul-
tural steam-engines and others of the same kind being
adapted for this purpose. When the blest-fan is dri yen
by manual labour 18 men are required to work it,
with short reliefs. In about 20 minutes after the fire
in the cupola is lighted the iron is put in, and in
about a quarter of an hour after the fan has been
put in motion the molten iron can be run off into
the shells. A ton of metal can be melted in about
30 minutes. Allowing, therefore, for waste, the
number of shells that can be filled in one hour is
140 of the 8-inch 68-pounders, and the same number
of the 10-inch 96-pounders. The estimated weight
of the machine is 4 tons 13 cwt.

ITALY.

The Italie states that Kossuth has been on a visit
fo Duke Litta, at his villa of Lainate. General
Klapka is stated to be constantly moving backwards
and forwards between Caprera and Milan.
King Victor Emmanuel has addressed the fol-
lowing order of the day to the troops, on the
occasion of the distribution of the new colours, a
ceremony fixed for the second of June :

" Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, and Soldiers,
—lt is now nearly 13 years since my august father,
on crossing the Ticino to begin the war of indepen-
denee of our country, gave you the tricolour with
the Cross of Savoy, and pronounced these prophetic
words :—"f he destiny of Italy is ripening.' Under
this flag you have replied to that auspicious augury
by brilliant victories, but for an instant stopped by
contrary fortune. But the power of virtue and
constancy of purpose again made it wave gloriously
in distant regions, side by side with the colours of
the most powerful armies of Europe. Then, en-
tering the field of Lombai dy, still fresh with the
recollections of Goito and Pastrengo, you
culled splendid laurels in conjunction with the
renowned eagles of France. A new lustre of glory
then spread over the whole peninsula, and the
people of Italy, rallying round the banner of national
independence, accomplished deeds and acts which
our children's children will remember with grati-
tude and love. Now the destinies of Italy are
ripe. Soldiers ! I give you these new colours in
the name of Italy, which has again become free.
They bear the names of the battles fought. I en-
trust to your virtue these emblems of loyalty and
honour, on which the arms of my house, illustrated
by eight centuries of bravery, are united to the
symbol of the nation restored to independence."
The following is a fresh despatch addressed to
the representatives of Francis 11. at foreign courts,
and dated Rome, 25th ult. :

" Sir,—The Government of the King of Piedmont
has just presented to the Parliament of Turin a bill
for a loan of 500 millions of francs. If this were
solely a financial operation of Piedmont, and for
herself alone, no other Government could have
a right to interfere with it, but as the greatest
part of that money will be devoted to ex-
tend still more the yoke which weighs on the
people of the Two Sicilies, and to increase
with a new public debt the burdens which the dis-
order of usurpation already renders insupportable,
his Majesty thinks himself compelled, both for him-
self and for his people, to loudly protest against this
projected loan, declaring at present (in order that
no person shall deceive themselves ou the subject)
that he is decided never to recognise the effects of
it as far as regards the interast of the Two Sicilies.
You will, sir, be pleased to communicate this protest
to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Govern-
ment to which you are accredited.—Accept, &C.,
"DEL Pa."

BO W-STRE'ET.

THE SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.—TIIO
Rev. James Roe, a clergyman of the Church of England,
was brought up this morning on remand at the Bow-street
Police-court, upon a wart ant charging him with having
forged certain documents with a view to defraud the exe-
cutors of the late Edward Roe of the sum of £6,000.
The facts of the case appeared at length in The Sun of
the 23d ult., when the prisoner was first placed at the bar.
Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Wontner defended the prisoner.
Mr. Abraham Surrey said—l am an engraver, and occupy
a shop in Fleet-lane. The prisoner, in August last, came
to my shop relative to some alterations being made in some
stamps I had previously made by order of Mr. Perrator.
I made the alterations on the stamp and returned it to the.
prisoner. I also made 12 moveable letters that formed the
words "Macclesfield" and " Bath," and the figures 1,5, 9,
and 2. I made no other letters such as " D," " T," or
the figures 1,2, 59. On the Bth of August the
prisoner came to my shop about 10 o'clock in the
morning, and produced the stamps I had previously made
for Mr. Perrator, with all the fittings. He told me he had
been referred to me by Mr. Perrator to make some altera-
tions in the stamps. He afterwards told me I was to con-
sider myself at work for him, and not Mr. Perrator, and
also asked me to spend a couple of hours with him, as he
wanted me to make some alterations that were very parti-
cular. He also said something about Mr. Perrator not
taking the order if he could not execute it. He said he
wanted alterations in both stamps. In the circular stamp
be wanted the space enlarged to about 12 letters.
Mr. Collie thought it unnecessary to go into the minutire
of the alterations ; the depositions already contained the
material fact of prisoner calling on the witness.
Mr. Humphreys wished to show how the prisoner gave
his directions to the witness.

Mr. Surrey then went on to say that the prisoner tried

and afterwards ho appeared to compare them with some-
thing he had therein. I endeavoured to alter the stamps
accordir g to the wishes of the prisoner. The prisoner
showed me some tracings similar to a Post-office stamp.
When ho came to me in August he did not wear either
beard or moustache as he does at present.

lIVIPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 71d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 165. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than
21 cwt. sold at the manufactory, and orders must be acco -
panted with cheques crossed, made payable to the inventbivir,

Single barrels, weighing la cwt., may be had for 110 s., at 77,

DUBLIN CORPORATION 'WATER BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Sir E. GROGAN repeated the objections which he had
made to it at a previous stage, au moved that it be read a
third time that day six months.

Mr. WESTHEAD, in opposing the amendment, said
that 56 out of 60 of the corporation of the City of Dublin
were in favour of this bill, the provisions of which he de-
fended at some length.
Mr. DAWSON supported the amendment.
_ _

Mr. MA.SSEY opposed the amendment, and said that
the bill had undergone the most careful investigation be-
fore the committee, and that there was no ground for the
opposition that was offered to it.
Mr. O'BRIEN defended the bill.

Mr. MAGUIRE deprecated very strongly the opposition
to the bill, for which he said the people of Dublin
panted. He observed that, notwithstanding what
had been said by Sergeant Fitzgibbon in favour of
the present water supply in Dublin, still it appeared that
that learned gentleman, though he allowed it for the use
of his servants, he had a pump on his premises
for the use of himself and family. (Laughter.)
The fact was, that at the present time, in consequence of
the defective supply of water in Dublin there was not ade-
quate provision made for the protection of life and property.
He contended that the course pursued by the opponents of
the bill was most disrespectful to the house, considering
the time and attention bestowed on this bill by the commit-
tee to which it had been referred.

Mr. M'CANN supported the bill, and stated from per-
sonal experience that the quality of the water in Dublin
was very bad. He stated that it was so deleterious that he
could never drink it, not even when it was mixed with
whisky. (Laughter.)
Mr. VANCE said that the bill had been so altered in
transitu, that he felt relieved from giving it his support,
although his name had been on it originally. The quality
of the water was not what it had been described, and he
assured the house that he and his family never consumed
any other water. (Laughter.)
Mr. COGAN supported the bill, and said hon. members
who opposed it did not represent the requirements and feel-
ings of the inhabitants of the city of Dublin in reference to
this subject.
The house divided—
