Tracton, that the Earl of Shannon has remitted thirty per
cent. to his Kinnalea tenants on the Michaelmas gale,

the liberality and good sense of Lord Shannon, who acids to
hie other merits that of being a resident landlord and ge.•
nerous employer. •We are also glad to learn, from the same
creditable authority, that this judicious and sensible conduct
has been imitated by many of the neighbouring gentry.--

On taking up our nets (which we laid carefully on
the rocks for the Esquimaux) they were found full of
herring-salmon in fine condition.
We commenced our journey across land towards
Great Bear Lake on the 26th, each of the mon carrying
about 901 b., my own bundle being nearly 50.
Three days' easy march brought us to that part of the
Coppermine (lat. 67 12 N.) from which it was my in-
tention to make a straight course to Fort Confidence.
Here we expected to meet with some Indians, but we
did not fall in with them until the following evening,
when our loads were much lightened; and we arrived
here early this afternoon (being our seventh day from
the Bloody Fall), accompanied by upwards of thirty of
the natives who had joined us at different parts of the
route.

The two men that had passed the summer at Fort Con-
fidence were well, and having all the stores ready packed
I shall leave this to-morrow, after supplying the Indians
with ammunition to enable them to hunt their way to
the trading posts.
I remain, &c.,

P.S.—I arrived here this afternoon, and intend send-

to procure sufficient fish for their winter provisions,
without being any additional expense to Government.

dates to the 11th of April, and from Bahia to the 23d
of March.

The cases of yellow fever at Pernambuco were be-
, doming less.
, The supplies of cotton are on a limited scale, and
I prices supported ; with larger supplies, however, prices
would fall : first quality cotton 6id. to 6,id. per lb.
There has not been so much doing in Sugar, and the
shipments last month were much below the corre-
sponding period of last year. In consequence of wet
weather, and the appearance of an early winter, it is
estimated that the crop will be 15,000 to 20,000 tons
short of last year. The following are the preseet
prices :-Whites, first and seconds, 255. 2d. to 263.6 d.
common, 21s. Bd. to 23,.; and low 19i. 6d. to 201 t. 9d.

FRAM CE.

General Cavaignac, M. Coquerel, M. Coyne, and
Ferdinand de Lasteyrie, yesterday presented the
following amendment to the Electoral Law :
" The electoral domicile shall be established by the
real residence in the commune in which the citizen shall
have satisfied the laws of recruiting for the army and
navy. This domicile shall, however, be transferred to
any commune in which the citizen may have fixed his
principal establishment, subject to his making six
months before the revision of the electoral list the double
declaration prescribed by Article 104 of the Civil Code."

The Constitutionnel has the following on the Greek '
question :
"As facts come to light, they show more and more
the legitimate character of the complaints of the French
Government. We render all justice to the language
used by Lord Palmerston and by Lord John Russell in
the House of Commons; there is nothing iu it which
can offend eitherl France :or her Government. But
the finest words are not equivalent to the most
simple explanations. The French Government is not
actuated by any hostile intention, but it must protect
its hon Our and the interests of the country. It must be
either shown that good faith has been observed towards
it, and a sincere desire for the success of its intervention,
or it must heiceforth abstain from any intimate relation
and all co-operation with the English Minister of Foreign
Affairs. Intimate relations and habitual co-operation
demand, in fact, a mutual confidence and equal security
on both sides. In the case which we suppose, it will be
shown that France cannot with security rely either on
the words or the acts of Lord Palmerston."

M. DE RAYNETAL arrived at Rome on the 16th.
The domicile of M. EaCOLE, the Chancellor of the
British Consulate, was violated by the Roman police
on the 19th May. They entered his house, and re.
mained in possession of it some hours, searching in
every portion of it for prohibited books and papers,
but found none. It appears that the object of this
search was to seize and burn any bibles that they
might have found, as at this moment a fierce perse-
cution is going on throughout Italy against the agents
of the Bible Society, who are everywhere well re-
ceived by the people, but persecuted by the priests.

DEATH OP SIR GEORGE CEEETWYND, BART,-IVe
regret to announce the sudden demise of Sir George Chet-
wynd, Bart., who expired, we believe, in a fit of apoplexy,
on Friday evening, at Grendon Hall, near Atherstone, War-
wickshire.

SUDDEN MATH OF MRS. LABOUCHERE.--We re-
gret to announce the sudden death of this lady, the wife of
the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, the President of the
Board of Trade. The deceased was the youngest daughter
of the late Sir Thomas Baring, and sister of the Right Hon.
Francis Thornhill Baring, First Lord of the Admiralty. Mr.
Labouchere was in town when a special messenger arrived
early yesterday morning from Chislehurst, announcing Mrs.
Labonchere's illness, in consequence of which he left town
immediately. Mrs. Labouchere's confinement was not ex-
pected.to take place for a month or two. Premature labour,
it l# ONO, waa the cause of death.

GERMAN Y.

A Vienna letter of the 19th says:—" Yesterday
appeared the budget of the last year, that is from Ist.
November, 1848, to Ist Nevember, 1849 ; it shows a
deficit of 140,000,000 florins. Nevertheless it has not
produced an unfavourable impression either on the
Stock Exchange or on the public, and especially because
the detailed figures show that it was a gigantic task to
keep the public finances afloat on the stormy sea, which
threatened to swallow up the State. The Minister of
Finance justly remarks in his report, that the end of
the year 1848, having been signalised by the taking of
Vienna, and by'the retreat of the army of the Hun-
garian insurgents, it was necessary in 1849 to carry on
war both in Piedmont and in Hungary; that the latter
country especially demanded the • grentest sacrifices,
from the fact that jn addition to the vast army of Austria,
there had to be.maintained masses of Russian troops ;
that the Treasury thus had at its charge POO,OOO
troops native and foreign ; whilst so far from afford-
ing the slightest revenue to the State, Hungary and
Transylvania were exhausted by the Hungarian re-
volution, and the other provinces which remained
faithful were so borne down in their commerce
and industry that they could not be unreasonably
taxed. It results, moreover, from the report
•that the deficit has at least diminished, inas-
much as after having been on an average
12,000,000 florins per month in 1849, it fell in Ja-
nuary, 1850, to 5,000,000 florins, although the new
taxes had produced little or nothing. It is to be re-
marked, moreover, that the budget of Hungary and
Transylvania only partially figure in the returns—the
former from Ist May. the second from Ist August;
arid that the budget of Croatia, of Slavonia, and of the
Wayewodla are not included at all—those provinces
having occasioned expenses without yielding receipts."
London, England, 1850-05-27

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is establod to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
zreous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
t•ibntlon of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
care either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of ferfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and ♦aried advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving CA* secure
through this Society.

" Temptations and circumstances are often more

persons fall into grievous sins who have not tampered

In the sitting of the 15th of the Senate of Turin,
the Minister of Justice presented a Bill for the repeal
of certain exceptional articles in the laws of entail.
The Bill for increasing the number of functionaries in
certain tribunals was then passed almost unanimously.
Senator COLLA afterwards read the report on military
pensions to the Piedmontese soldiers of the French
Imperial army. In the Chamber of Deputies the dis-
cussion on the Stamp. duty Bill was continued. Many
Deputies spoke in favour of the adjournment of the
Bill. Before the Chamber broke up, the President of
the Council, M. D'AZEGLIO announced that Chevalier
GALVAGNO had been provisionally entrusted with the
portfolio of commerce and agriculture in consequence
of the illness of M. SANTAROSA.

Letters from Venice of the 10th in the Lloyd of
Vienna state that 25,000 projectiles, among which
fifty bomb-shells, had been found in the warehouse
of a dealer in curiosities, who had been immediately
