The King and Queen of the French on Saturday evening
received the Austrian Ambassador, the Bavarian Minister,

and St. Aginan, Generals Sebastiani, Dode de la Brunerie,
and Fabvier, and Martineau des Chenez.

A letter from Naples, of the 16th of July, states, that the
third son of the King of Naples, the Count de Castro Gio-
vanni, is dead. Twenty-one of the Calabrian insurgents, who
came from Corfu, have been sentenced to death, and six have
been already executed.
Accounts from the east of Algiers, brought by the steamer
Cerbere, which came in on the 17th, state that a party of
Kabyles, amounting to about 500, lately attacked the camp
of Bathena, between Constantina and Biskara. The force in
the camp, though not strong, repulsed the enemy with con-
siderable loss, for they left twenty dead on the field, while
the French did not lose one man.
On the 20th, some slight shocks of an earthquake were felt
at Louvie-Juson;in the Basses Pyrenees.
The Lyons journals of Friday speak of the heat there as
having been for several days of unusual intensity. On that
morning the thermometer stood at 26 degrees Centigrade,
79 Fareuheit ; but at four in the afternoon of Thursday, it
was facing the north, and in the shade, at 32i C., 90i F.
This is nearly the highest degree of heat in that climate, as,
according to the records kept at the Observatory of Lyons,
it appears that the utmost point to which the thermometer
rose, during the seven years from 1833 to 1839 inclusively,
was 33 6-10ths C., 93 F.
At Athens,inst.,
on the 10th the thermometer marked in

The Commandant-General of the Prussian Guards has is-
sued, says a German paper, an order interdicting the soldiers
and non-commissioned officers up to the rank of -sergeant-
major, from beconlipg members of temperance societies, upon
the ground that the rules of these societies forbid in toto the
use of liquors which, if taken in moderation, are beneficial to
the men, and at times even indispensable.
According to a—letter from Belgrade, the Christians of
Bosnia are still suffering great persecution. It was hoped,
when Kiamil Paclia was appointed Governor of the province,
that a more humans and enlightened policy would be adopted,
as he had been twice ambassadoriu Europe, and was thought
to be free from sentiments of religious hatred. It appears,
however, that he has adhered to the coarse adopted by his
predecessors.
Augsburg4 Gazette quotes a letter from Smyrna, of the
Ist, stating in the most positive terms that in the island of
Rhodes and other places the Turks had formed a plot for the
massacre of the Chrisrians at last Easter. The execution of
the plot appears to have been prevented by an accidental
discovery.

LAW AND POLICE.
The trials for arson at Ipswich terminated on the 29th.
There were 21 cases for trial, in which 28 persons were charged
with the crime, and of these 15 were convicted, 12 acquitted,
and one turned Queen's evidence.
At Guildhall, Michael Magnier, a City policeman, No.
368, was brought before Mr. Alderman Hunter, by order of
the Police Commissioner, charged with entering a house on
his beat in the night time, and attempting to commit an as-
sault upon a girl aged 18. After the girl had given her evi-
dence, which left no doubt of the prisoner's intention, he was
remanded, at his own request, till he had legal assistance.
Wm. Irish, George Everard, James Everard, John Rut-
land, and Richard Wm. Reeves, were brought up at Bow-
street, charged with having violently assaulted Henry May-
nard, on the morning of Friday, the 26th of July. The as-
saults complained of arose out of disputes between the Wa-
termen's Company and the Free Watermen's Company, which
are detailed in the police report. Mr. Twyford bound each
of the defendants in their own recognizances of 20/., and or-
dered them to find two sureties each for 10/., to answer the
charge at the next Westminster sessions. Two persons imme-
diately became bail for them, and they were discharged.
At Marylebone Mrs. Mary Levy and Miss Mary Levy, her
daughter, were charged with ringing the bell at the house of
Mr. Bower, solicitor, Welbeck-street, without any lawful
excuse for so doing. Mr. Bower's evidence went to show
that on the 2d of May last, he opposed Mr. Levy, the hus-
band of the elder defendant, under the Bankrupt Act, upon
his applying for his discharge, and since then he had been
continually annoyed by a violent knocking and ringing at
the door, and on the said door being opened, there was no
one actually at the spot, but the defendants, who had been
seen walking to and fro, were a short distance off. The de-
fendants were fined 20s. each, and cautioned with regard to
annoying Mr. Bower again.
A man of the name of Cole was charged at Worship-street
with cutting and maiming with intent to kill, Mr. Joseph
Gill, the landlord of the George the Fourth public-house, in
