FRANCE.

The Prince President was to leave Paris for Strasburg
on Saturday, where he was expected to arrive on the fol-
lowing day, about 11 a.m., when the inauguration of the
railway was to take place. Great preparations had been
made to give Louis Napoleon a most welcome reception.
As to politics, no one appears to pass a thought upon
them. The hot weather, the probability of its continu-
ance, the numerous cases of hydrophobia, and the urgency
of a razzia on all of the canine race, are the principal to-
pics of conversation ; and terrible stories are told of the
measures of energy already adopted with reference to these
unhappy animals. It is said that not less than 4,000 of
them, in whom no one has claimed a right of property,
have been waylaid, put to death by lead or poison, or made
to disappear from the earth by some means or other.
Great alarm was manifested on Thursday morning,
among the ignorant classes, in consequence of a para-
graph which had appeared in one of the journals, stating
that M. Arago had predicted for that day, at two o'clock,
an earthquake, which would destroy half Paris. Thou-
sands believed this ; and towards twelve o'clock many
anxious-looking faces were to be seen. It was not until
the clock had struck two that they could be convinced
that they had been hoaxed. The weather was still very
hot, but the thermometer was not so high as on Tues-
day. At a distance of a few miles from Paris there had
been thunder-storms and rain.
The Moniteur of Thursday publishes a return of the
revenue for the first six months of the present year, which
amounts to 389,497,000 f. As compared with the same
period of 1851, there is an increase of 25,837,000 f., and of
39,030,000 f. over that of 1850.
Accounts from the agricultural districts state that the
great heat has produced the most favourable effect on the
wheat crop ; and it is now confidently believed that the
harvest will be everywhere magnificent.
Dreadful storms had occurred in various parts of the
country. One of these, accompanied with thunder, light-
ning, and heavy rain, took place in the town of Auriol
and neighbourhood. A peasant was killed by the light-
ning. At the country-house of Notre Dame, belonging
to M. de Remusat, two children and their grandmother
were severely wounded.
A letter from Bergerac of the 10th inst. adds, that such
heavy rains as followed the storm of the 7th inst. had
not been seen within the memory of man. Three houses
were demolished in the village of Monleydier, and the
materials carried into the Dordogne. Considerable
damage has been done to the crops in various localities.
The Courrier du Pas-de-Calais of the 13th instant,
says :—" On Saturday night Bou-Maza, who was detained
prisoner in the Citadel of Ham, succeeded in effecting his
escape. All that is known of the matter is, that he took
the railway at Montecourt, and that he had with him a
miller's man, who used to act as his servant. The only
luggage that the fugitives had with them was a trunk and
a carpet-bag. The news of the escape was immediately
transmitted to the various authorities." A later account
says, " The Arab chief Bou Maza has returned of his own
accord to the citadel of Ham. This news is the more gra-
tifying, as the forfeiture of parole by Bou-Maza would
doubtless have added fresh rigours to the imprisonment of
Abd-el-Kader, at Amboise."
PARIS, SUNDAY, 5 P.m.—The Prince President arrived
to-day, at noon, at Strasburg. There, as everywhere on
his journey, he was saluted by enthusiastic cries of " Vive
Napoleon."

of the inmates :—" Here is now confined the young lady

finery, intended for bridal habiliments, fantastically deco-

rated ; and inquiring occasionally of

She had completed

a lonely pilgrimage from Europe to unite her fortunes
with those of her bethrothed, who had preceded her about
a twelvemonth or so. After a weary search she found

him doing business, and—married. The shock deprived
her of her reason. Every passing day is, since, indicated
by her disordered fancy as the one upon which her ' Henry'
is coming to fulfil his vows, and she arrays herself to meet
him accordingly. Her nightly disappointment yields

easily to a brighter hope for the morrow, and thus her
beclouded existence is wearing away."

VOLUNTARY IMPRISONMENT.—A young girl of Isque,
in Belgium, having been very irreguir in her conduct,
and having more than once left her parents' house, dis-
appeared four years ago, and all attempts to discover her
were unavailing. A carpenter of the place, a widower,
was suspected of having bad something to do with her
disappearance, and it was noticed as a singular circum-
stance that be always kept his house closed. A short
time back it became rumoured that she had been mur-
dered. The authorities deemed it rizbt to make a search

in the carpenter's house, but nothing was discovered.
The rumour, however, continued, and in consequence of
it the carpenter was arrested on Tuesday last, and a new
search was made in his residence. This time the girl was
discovered in a sort of hole covered with boards ; but she
was alive and well, and stated that it was with her own
free consent that she had remained in the house, without

leaving it either night or day, for four years. The car-
penter was immediately released, and it is supposed that
he will marry the girl.
EDWARD MURRAY, now under sentence of death by
the Papal Government, was born at Cephalonia, and
brought to Italy in early youth by his father, who was a
British officer, At Rome he was for some time employed
in a banking establishment. Likewise at Ancona, for a
short time, he held a situation in the house of Messrs. Le
Mesurier. He afterwards settled at Ancona, where he has
lived for upwards of ten years, having married Orsula
Gabrielli, a Papal subject, a native of Loretto. Up to the
year 1848 Murray's conduct had in general never been
bad, the only fault that was found with him by his rela-
tions and friends was his unwillingness to exert himself
sufficiently for the support of himself and his family. in
consequence of remarks having been made to him on this
subject, he was stimulated to apply to the Papal Govern-
ment for employment, and received the appointment of
agent of police, of which there are engaged some fifteen or
twenty at Ancona, and just at a time when murders were
frequent, no less than two hmndred and thirty-three oc-
curring during the five months he was in office. The
charges against Mr. Murray are numerous.
THE LIGHTING OF ROME.—Everything is now settled
preparatory to commencing the works : the Pope and
authorities have expressed themselves as much interested
in the undertaking, and the ground is purchased for the
works. It was with some difficulty that the sanitary
committee could be brought to approve of a site ; and
where do our readers think the deed of enlightenment is
to be begun ? On the site of the Circus Maximus, in
the valley between the Palatine and Aventine hills.
Opposite what will be the entrance-gate is the house of
Cicero, and right above are the ruins of the palace of the
Caesars I Permission for the use of the ground is granted
on condition that Mr. Shepherd build his works only in
the arena of the circus : he is forbidden to touch the

gradines or seats, which preserve perfectly the form of
the whole, and convey a fine idea of the magnificence of
the circus. If we may judge from some old engravings,
the chimney will be erected on the spot where formerly
stood the fine obelisk which now adorns the Place St.
Joh❑ de Lateran, and close to where, if tradition reports
truly, Androcles extracted the thorn from the lion's paw !
Tempora mulantur. The inhabitants are all agog, also.
about the railway from Rome to Ancona and Bologna.
It is feared there will be some delay, but there seems
every probability a road from Rome to the frontier of
Naples will be soon commenced by a Belgian engineer,
Courtine : the deposit is paid, and he daily expects the
concession.—The Builder.

FANATICISM IN THE UNITED STATES.—The Madison
Democrat, a paper published in the state of Wisconsin,
contains the following paragraph :—" Some of the clergy
in the eastern part of the county say that they are in-
spired by the spirits, and that their sermons delivered out
of the pulpits are not their own, but they are the instru-
ments through which the spirits operate upon the mass
of the people. We understand that these divines, or the
spirits through them, say that the Millennium has com-
menced, and that in less than five years the wicked are to
be swept from the face of the earth, and the righteous
are to inherit it for ever. It is reported that one of the
divines said on Sunday last, while preaching to a crowded
house, that not more than a dozen of his audience would
ever pass through the shade of death. It is also said,
that the spirits have informed the people, through the
mediums, that the old way of baptising is all wrong, and
that they should use water instead of wine, for sacra-
mental purposes ; and we are informed that the people
are following the directions to the letter. A new church
has been organised, called the Cnurch of Christ, and a
meeting is now being held, which commenced a week
ago, and is to continue until the spirits tell them to stop.
We are told, that some are so infatuated with the new
religion, that they do not do a single thing without first
consulting the spirits. The excitement in the neighbour-
hood is great, and some of the best men in the country
are strong believers."
THE WONDER-WORKING HAND.—The Vienna cor-
respondent of a morning paper says, " On the 4th, Francis
Joseph inspected the ` wonder-working' hand of St.
Stephen, which is in the chapel of the castle at Buda.
A singular story is connected with this relic. In 1801,
that is two years after the different Hungarian races had
been united under one ruler, the Duke Arpad, Pope Gre-
gory canonized the first King, Stephen, and his remains
were to be removed from the vaults of the Cathedral of
Stuhlweissenburg. When the stone coffin was opened,
in the presence of the then reigning King, Ladislaus, it
was discovered that the skeleton had no right hand. A
terrible noise was made about the missing member, and
a very valuable ring which was on one of its fingers, but
no tidings were heard of either of them until some years
after, when a certain Abbot Mercurius, who had formerly
been treasurer at the cathedral, communicated to the
monarch a romantic story of something having been com-
mitted to his safe keeping by a beautiful youth, ` dressed
all in white ;' further, that on examining what it was, he
found it to be the hand of the saint, ring and all being in
perfect order, that is, well preserved. The worthy histo-
rian Fessler, himself an ecclesiastic, says, 6Ladillaus saw
through Mercurius, but left God to deal with him.' At
the time of the Reformation the precious hand was sent
to the Dominicans, at Ragusa, and in 1771 the Empress
Maria Theresa had it deposited with vast ceremony on the
spot where her descendant has recently seen it."
