CONVERSION.—Sixty-three more Romanists have the
nounced their errors in St. Paul's, Bermondsey, since,
last published account of April 27 ; this nothwithstanc
the gross persecution which has been lately practised
Romanists against the converts.
ARRIVAL OF HAMI PACHA.— The Egyptian Stem
frigate Faid Gehaad arrived at Southampton on Saturn
night, bringing his Highness El Hami Pacha, the son °
the late Viceroy of Egypt, accompanied by Saleima Paeb°'
Kherieddeen Pacha, and Abdallah Pacha.

CHOLERA IN SOUTHERN EUROPE.—The cholera
appeared at Genoa, the Piraeus, Gallipoli, and the
danelles. General Ney is one of its victima. The Ottooi
Government has established a quarantiue of five days
Constantinople for vessels arriving from Marseilles, el
account of the epidemic. The French.at the Piraeus hod
obtained the use of the Royal Cadet School, a large a° f
convenient building, for an hospital. The Board,_, to°
Health at Genoa has just subjected arrivals from 31t,
to observation, in consequence of cases of cholera harlw
made their appearance there.
THE TABLE-RAPPING THEORY.—Dr. Schiff, of Fra"
fort, read a paper lately to the French Academy, in 101`
he professes to have discovered the mystery of spirit-rq;

ping. His attention was called to the case of a you rg
girl, near whose person noises attributed to spirit-rapPe.,
were produced. Dr. Schiff's observationsned him to c_i°';
elude that the knocking had taken place within the bu 7,,
of this young girl, not outside; and he has shown esPei
mentally that such noise can be produced by the reiter,3n,

displacement of the tendons of the long muscle of tt:
shin bone (muscle long per.gonier) from the sheath
which it glides in passing Wind the external ancle boP
(nzalleole externe).
THE GOLD SHIPS.—The British declaration Of Gls
against Russia had been received in Australia twelve d3,..,„t
before the departure of the last mail. The principal Pt'
e
of the Russian squadron in the Eastern Seas, consist
of six vessels, has taken refuge, it appears, at the
settlement of Sourabaya—so that, in addition to to
extraordinary step of allowing loans to be contracted
Russia in Amsterdam, Holland, while still ostensibly 11,°0ro
ing the position of a neutral power, seems likely to ad
no inconsiderable assistance to the Czar in Other quart/
At the same time, the danger of allowing these voile
the advantages of such a station was illustrated by he
prevalence of reports that two Russian frigates 0

THE PENINSULA AND ORIENTAL COMPANY'S fne
e
screw-steamer Douro was lost upon the Paracels, ontl2,
26th of May. The casualty happened during the 11111:1"0
cane which commenced on the 24th, and increased „"ji
violence during the next two days. The Douro struck "
a reef and became firmly lodged on the rocks, where sw
held together until the gale abated and the weather Ift
came ultimately quite calm. A four-oared boat was se,„
off, and in eight days reached Hongkong, when two vessel,
the Malta and the Tartar, were despatched to the asso
ance of those left on board the Douro. From the positloof
in which that vessel was lying, in from six to eight feetyl
water, great hopes were entertained that the Malta 0

LORD CARDIGAN'S EXPLORATION.—Lord di°llll
who has returned from his long and toilsome explor4
trip to the Danube, has brought back a budget of itll°oo
mation, which will probably be found useful in the Pl' re
operations of the war. No less than eighteen horses Ord,

ONIONS FOR FOWLS.—Scarcely too much can be_cir
in praise of onions for-fowls. They seem to be a preyed and remedy for various diseases to which dora'er

THEATRICAL ABSURDITIES.—It is the opinion u '",,4 -,,,

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—This DAY.
With the exception of last night, when we had a return
of heavy rain, the weather has continued very favourable
since Friday, and appears still to prevail in all parts of
Great Britain, affording the probability of harvest becom-
ing well in progress in the south by the middle of the
month; from Ireland, the reports of weather are not so
favourable, but their crops of grain are well spoken of ;
there are, however, many complaints from that country
of potato bligh on the leaves and stalks, though at pre-
sent not extending at all extensively to the tubers.
The close of the past week shows the downward move-
ment in prices to have been arrested, and more steady
markets, without much increase of business, are reported
throughout the country. The trade here, having pre-
viously been forced somewhat below its proper relative
position, has still tended towards recovery. Our stocks,
particularly of fine Wheats and of Flour, have been
brought into a moderate compass, and our present week's
supply is of so limited an extent as to do little towards
replacing them; thus, upon a fair demand, both these
articles have acquired a further small improvement since
Friday, and Indian Corn has participated in the advance
to the extent of ls. per quarter. Our exports this week
'lse rather considerable.
,There was a moderately fair attendance of buyers
1,4 Market to-day, and prices generally had an upward
ftdency. Flour may be quoted is. to ls. 6d. per barrel
above the rates of this day week ; but the demand was
not free at this advance. Wheat was more in request,
d ruled from 4d. to 6d. per 701 b. higher, particularly
for finer qualities, For Indian Corn there was an active
11411117, and an advance of fully 3s. per quarter was
maintained. Oatmeal was considerably in demand, but
Without change in value. Oats ware scarce. In other
articles a fair amount of business doing.

raY JOSAPHAT'S CONTINENTAL TELEGRAPH.]

VIEIPNA MONDAY.—M. de Bourgueney had a conference
declared
Count Buol, during which the French Ambassador
eLared in the name of the Western Powers, that as
Austria was occupying the Principalities, the auxiliary
.tr°°l3B would not advance further than Bucharest ; and if
'"'l3' Part of the allied army are on their march into Wal-
lachi.•
they had actually orders to recross the Danube.
The Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs expressed his
latisfaction with this declaration, and told M. de Bour-
gamey that if such an intimation had not been given by
the Western Powers, Austria herself would havc been
ender the necessity to request England and France not to
kivance further on the Principalities.
