The Aigle du Midi of Montpelier says :—" The
year 1861 will be one of the most remarkable as regards the
production of bees. In some hives there have already been
two or three swarms; and it is hoped that the yield in
honey and wax will be so large as to compensate in the de-
partments of theGironde and the Landes for the insufficiency
of other productions."

INDIAN FINANCE.—From the state of the market
on this side, and the character of the accounts from the
East, the opinion seems to be general among the persons
connected with Indian finance, that the Indian railway
;ilmpanies will have no difficulty in raising the bulk of the
funds they may require during the current year without aid
throorethe Government, and that it may therefore be hoped
Fiveis little likelihood of any further creation of Iralia

The Corriere _Mercantile of Genoa g
p 11
eives an ac-
count of a recent attempt made
by the 260 Neapoli-
tan prisoners confined at enestr eto make them
selves masters of that fortress, situated em-
at 8 leagues
from Turin. Their plan was to
of
Whierhgawnise them-
selves into four bands, one
prise the commandant and principal off
et" to
prise sur-
cers ;
another was to close the gates of the fortress •
the third, to get possession of the armoury and
store-houses, and the fourth to occupy the most
important points. The defence of the fortress
was then to be regularly organised, and every
morning- early a detachment was to march out and
lay the surrounding country under contribution.
It so happened that the garrison itself was mostly
composed of Neapolitans incorporated with the
regular army ; so that the conspirators found many
willing accomplices, and the plan was in a fair way
a succeed'
..og, when on the 22d it was revealed to
the commandant just a few hours before the time
fixed for the execution. With the greatest prompt-
ness the men under suspicion were disarmed, and
the ringleaders arrested.
