&c 1t would,'' he said, {" have been atrocious IN

Royal ViSitor.-The King of Holland arrived
a visit to her Majesty and Prince Albert, on
the oath He landed at Woolwieh, where he was
received with due honors, and Immediately pro-
ceeded to Mivart's Hotel, where he slept, snd
proceeded on the 18th to the Osborne House,

IRELAND.-Repeal Association, Monday, July
2l.-Mr O'Connell acknowledged the receipt of
Gl2 from New York, and read letter accompa-
nying the remittance, which animadverted on
certain expressions uttered by Mr.. 0Connell
late occasion, to the effect that if England rem
dered justice to Ireland, she might calculate on
the assistance of Irishmen in enabling her to
''humbe the proud eagle of America" What
he (Mr. OConnel) said on the occasion referred
to was, that if England did render justice, full
and ample justice, to Ireland, she would be in
such position, through the cooperation of Irish
men, defy all the nations of civilized Europe,
and even would be able to pull down the flag of
America itself. Such was the sentiment he ut
tered, and he believed such was the sentiment of
Ireland also.
1t was in consequence of the clustering of Mr.
Polk with regard to the Oregon territory, blust-
ering which had since ceased, that he had been
drawn into the observations complained of. Mr.
Polk evidently calculated on a diversion in his
favor in Ireland, should rupture take place be-
tween England and America.
At the termination of the proceedings, Mr.
O'Connell announced the rent for the week to be
FRANCE. A farmer of st Cere, happening to
find his brother in field collecting the roots of
herbs for his family for want of Bread said to him
SO Go to my wife and tell her to give you some
thing until send you a sack of four The
brother deliver ed the message, but the wife re-
| fused to give him any aid. The poor man was so
much affected at the refusal that he threw himself
into a well and was drowned. The brother, on
returning home, hearing OF the catastrophe, was
so much exasperated, that he seized an axe, and,
| in fit of fury split his wife's skull.
SPAIN.-The accounts from Barcelona state
that the nsurrection in that principaty might
be deemed at end. The Queen was to leave
! on the 18th for Valencia, by sea, and would, af-
| ter remaining there few days, proceed to Mad
| rid.
EGYpT.-On the 3Oth of June, the French war

| Upper Egypt.
CONFEDERATION AT SMYRNA.
SMYRNA, July 8, 1915.
Smyrna is again in misery and ruin; larger
and more awful conhagration than the last com
menced on the evening of the Sd instant, contin-
ued violently for IL Or Is hours, and upwards of
two days in burning embers and side fires; even
up to yesterday here and there magazines and
stone buildings were burning-some from being
opened too soon, when the heated air burst into
flame. 1t began in the centre OF the town, aided
by furious north wind, which afterwards chang
ed, destroying everything right and left, and for
circumference of at least mile and a half The
