M~• LAIN G'S FINANCIAL STATRIVF,NT.

T• he lasTnn papers are still discussing Mr.
financial statement. The following is from
the Friend of India:—Although the pressing
neeekit,i—fur aid mom England to the famine
stricken d',Rtricts has passed away, the liberality
which sent Olt £20,000 as q. first instalment is ap-
preciated here. And it may required. At pre-
sent_ even Bengal and the mobt fertile parts of
Madras feel the went of rain. the famine still
prevails as severely as ever in the disvicts of the
North-West and Punjab. his impossible depend
With any certainty on the rains of July and trtbse-
quent months, and all past analogy is against :he
probability of a copious fall. Should they fail the
generosity of England will be sorely tried.
There have been two series of affrays in the in-
digo districts attended with loss of life. In one
instance a native deputy collector, who had gone
to a subdivision of Jessore to try a rent case, When
attempting to disperse an illegal assembly, was
beaten and had to flee for his life. When the
magistrate, after investigating the case next morn..
ing, tried to arrest the guilty parties, he and the
police with him were attacked by the peasantry,
and three men were killed and three wounded. In
another instance, while the hired servants of one
43f the Bengal Indigo Company's factories were
• gaged in weeding a piece of land, part of which
had been decreed by the court as belonging to the
factory, they were attacked by an armed band of
ryots, and one man was speared to death. It ap-
Pears from the report of one of the special commis-
zioners, that the ryots boldly declare they have
• nibined not to pay rents. To add to the difficul-
ties of the Bengal government, the Sonthals have
been led to assume an uneasy attitude, on account
of suits for the enhancement of their rents and
pressure exercised by the money lenders.

Nothing has transpired since the death of Count
Cavour of the intentions of the Italian Government with
regard to the proposed loan of £20,000,000, but the belief is
that there will be no serious delay. It is understood that
all the energetic measures contemplated by Count Cavour
for promoting railwq.y and steam enterprises will be zoal-
.eu.sly executed by his successors.

The accounts from St. Petersburg state that, in
the present condition of the money markets of London and
Paris, the expeetation of any resuscitation of the general
Plans for the completion of the Russian railway system
seems to have been given up. Business at St. Petersburg
17aa dull, and the exchange had become slightly more
adverse for Russia, although considerable purchases had
lately been made of railway shares and stocks for foreign
account.

RAILWAY COMPANIES' ASSOCIATION.—The usual
ro9nthly meeting of the Directors' Association was held
sterday, at the Railway Clearing-house. Mr. Gamble,
1110 chairman, said the committee had considered the pro-
-I),°sal of Lord Elcho with respect to allowing volunteers to
travel to and from the meeting of the National Rifle Asso-
ciation at Wimbledon, and they had agreed to convey them
(14 uniform) at single fares. The committee had received a
letter from Lord Elcho thanking the association.
heiltd oME.—It is announced that a consistory will be
on the 17th inst. The Pope will pronounce an allocu-
t.o
1 /I, and appoint, it is said, four American bishops, There
is also talk of the promotioa of six cardinals,
