We learn that the Government of France have so
arranged matters with the Ditectors of the Bank,
that Vie dividends due on French Sock are to be paid
immediately alter the September. In their trans-
actions generally with the French Bacak, the Minis.
t- rs have clpitd, zed longs int:l-1010, the arrangements
made by the British Governareno. As many British
suhjects are holders of French Stock, it toliews that
a large p ,rtion of the French dividecds will be le-
Mitt.',l to England. Thus the great overflow of ca-
pital in this country will receive stab tardier addi-
tions ; and until it shall be duly absorbed in the

There is a rumour of a preci•aus discovery which
has been.a,ad. in Corsica. A metal hitherto unknown,
. of -the nature ail g rld, and so abundant, that it
may be turned to the ',is account, hal been an-
nounced with all the eTal ~f novelly. A complete use
has already heed m ide this pr tevaled metal, to
which the .pompous name of Corricormis has been
given. In coming from the hands of toe workman,
the corsicorum is in fact very brilliant, and possesses
a great resemblance to goad, but this resemblance
soon wears off. It is easily soiled, being an alloy. It
is compcsed of copper, silver, and some of the other
metals in small quantitia s which .are famed in copper
mines. Its specific gravity is only 9, while that of i
g is 19 ,
The wire gauze lamp has been put to decisive proof
in one of the collieries at the Hurlet, near Paisley.'
The mine had been abandoned upwards of twelve
months, by reason of the fire damp. 'llae gradual
approach to the dangerous gas was indicated by the
included flame of the lamp presenting a lengthened
spire, so as to brush the top of the cylinder; on
passing.the confines. of the explosive medium, the
wire gauze became suddenly red hot, and the" Davy"
continued full of foreign flame of a fine blue ct,dour.
A candle in this waste might have been as destruc-
tive .-ta any upon record, for it exhibited an explosive
atmosiihere from the-very floor, in an extent of three
or four n :res. A dreadlulexplosion occurred sorer
years ago in this mine, by which 17 persons perishr...
Woeves.--Some wolves were lately mentioned to
have made an irruption into the Department of
Yonne, in France, and to have devoured four chil-
dren. It is with pain we learn, that these ferocious
animals have extended their ravages into some other
Tartments. In that of Arriege, they have at-
tacked not only children, but even men: On the
Ist of July, about three o'clock in the morning, a
wolf broke into a stable of the hamlet of Perry, in
the Commune of Mountjoie, where there was a cow
belonging to Jean Peyras ; the latter hearing the noise,
went into the stable, when the animal immeuiately
fell upon him; his daughter, a girl of about twelve
years of age, attracted by the cries of her father, ran
to his Assistance ; the wolf, as soon as he saw her, let
go the father and flew on the poor gill ; Psalms, to
save his child, precipitated .himselt anew upon the
anim il, and alter being several times overthrown, the
cow, who bad broke loose, gave the,wolf a ttrokt.
with Ler head, which releasing PZYRAS, torn and la-
cerated as he was, he seized some instrument of hits.
bandry near him, and returning on the wolf, slew
him. The Public Administration has not neglected
to take proper measures for the immediate clearance
at the Communes from these destructive animals.—
