POSLIIXOIe.

Tht King of the French received on Monday evening
the P(oe's Nuncio, the American Minister, the Belgian
Chargt d'Affaires, Counts Mole and de Nce, M. Debel-
leyme, and Generals Schneider and Hecquet.
The Duke de Nemours arrived at Besancon, from
Paris, of Tuesday.
The King of Saxony has," says the Constitutionnel,
"acceptel the invitation of the King of the French to
visit Fraice on his leaving England."
The Almiteur publishes the Strasburg Railroad Bill,
adopted by both Chambers in the course of the session ;
also the I3tll to grant a sum of 4,662,000 f. for the con-
struction of three steamers to ply between Calais and
Dover; and, lastly, it publishes a Royal Ordinance
granting a supplementary credit of 500,000 f. for the en-
couragement of maritime fisheries.
The Berlin journals give the following relative to the
late attempt to assassinate the King of Prussia:--
" Tschech has undergone his first examination. He de'
Glared that he had entertained the idea of vengeance
from the month of April last, since which time he had
frequently practised pistol-shooting. One of the balls,
after passing through the King's cloak, struck against n
button of his uniform, from which it glanced off, and
thus saved his Majesty's life. Tschech could not come
prebend bow the first ball could have missed, for he was
perfectly composed when he fired, and had his left aro
on the carriage window at the time, to render his sire
still more steady."
A letter from Stockholm, July 27, states that the
Budget has just been presented to the Diet, and that the
demand for the Civil List is 65,000 crowns less than
under the reign of the late King. The expenses for the
army and navy are, however, more considerable than
before.
We learn from Warsaw, 26th ult., that the Vistula
has overflowed its banks, and caused very great damage
in the lower part of the city. The road between Frage,
and Warsaw is intercepted. The. river rose eighteen
feet above its ordinary level.
Accounts have been received from Riga, from which
we learn that, on the 24th ult., in consequence of and'
den and extraordinary floods, the Dwina, driven by a
violent storm of wind from the south-west, came down
with a torrent of such irresistible force, that sixty-five
barges and other craft were forced on the bridge, gnu"
carried it away with most of the vessels below it, until
the vast floating mass was stopped by the sand banks
The larger vessels escaped with slight damage, but
nearly all the smaller craft were sunk. This accident
has occasioned a temporary suspension of the navigation
of the river.
The president of one of the courts of justice at
Ambert having forbidden the members of the bar from
appearing in moustachios, as being a mark of disrespect
to the magistrates, and an insult to the dignity of a
court of justice, two members of the bar at that place,
named Imbardis and Pacross, appealed to the Court of
Cassation, which decided yesterday that the tribunal
had the power to forbid such a practice, and to pass
censure on those members of the profession who faile'4,
to pay attention to the reiterated remarks of its president
on the subject.
A fire broke out in the afternoon of the 2d inst. at SAt"
James's (Manche), which could not be got under un'gh
the next morning, by which time 107 houses had been
burnt.
The St. Petersburgh journals state that, on the 26th of
June, a conflagration occurred at Old ConstantinOt
which destroyed upwards of 350. houses and six sync
gogues. Six men lost their lives.
Brunswick, it is said, withdraws from the Prussic°
Customs-Union at new year, 1845. It seems that Bruer
wick, when it joined the union, reserved to itself the
option of declaring at Michaelmas, this year, of either
fixing its junction with the union for an unlimited tifne,
on giving notice at that date, or of entirely withdrawilit%
at new year, 1845.

n; anna, recently sold to Mr. Collett for 1,000
reeas, was weighed for, but did not venture to oppose
old mare, although she had only arrived a few hours
From Salisbury.
First Heat-6 and 7to 1 was betted on Alice Haw-
thorn in several quarters, nothing else being fancied.
The old mare led at a slow pace for about three-
quarters of a mile, and then, increasing the speed,
and with it her lead, astonished her admirers by
bearing a
',own the hill to the left, and running
he wrong side of a post about a mile from home,
to
r Jockey, instead of turning back and endeavouring
Theav his distance, itnmediately pulling her up !
. running was carried on by Pine Apple,
taa had it all to himself, and won by several lengths.
Ar
a returning to scale Lord Exeter objected to Pine
Ale, on the ground that he had taken an
owance for not having won 501., whereas he won 60/:,
1112 ciwn stake included, at Newmarket, in 1843. The
bmatter stands over, but we apprehend that case 4 in the
ook calendar, which confines the estimate of winnings
111 eases of this kind to the clear sum won, is decisive
against his Lordship's objection. With regard to Alice
o,,,"llll°rlfs " mistake," a difference of opinion exists
soma "'" do not hesitate to stigmatise it in terms that
/‘',o do not think it prudent to repeat, while in oppo-
`ti°lll. Temleman, who is a stranger at Brighton, de-
cla.res that he discovered his error the moment he had
Ztumitted it, but that he coHld not stop his mare in time
, go back with any chance of saving his distance. Pity
he did not try. Second heat-4 to lon Pine Apple,
!,ho waited to the stand, and won cleverly by a length.
