curious facts respecting insects. According to a

scribe their appearances. There are numerous
species collected in the museums Of Europe, but
and even Of these, the habits aud metamorphoscs
are almost entirely unknown. Mciger, a German,
who devoted his whole life To the study, had col
lccted and described six thousand species of flies,
which he collected in district ten miles in circum-
ference, but of their habits he knew scarcely any
thing. There have been collected in Europe TWEEN
ty-seven thousand species Of insects prcying ON

MAY 1O.-There was nothing done of impor-
tance in either House of Parliament last night
The demand for urgence in the case of the bill
for regulating the Electoral Law in FRANCE was
carried in the National Assembly by vote of 453
against l97. The debate upon the question was
stormy one. Generals CAvAIeNAc and LAMoRIcIERE
voted against the urgency. This is significant, as
is also the fact that five regiments under orders TO
quit Paris, have been counter-ordered.
Paris is quiet. The President has deferred his
visit to Fontainbleau for a few days. Contrary to
general expectation, the negotiations at ATHENS
were suddenly broken off on the 26th ultimo, and
coercive measures were Immediately renewed by
Admiral Parker. After blockade of forty-eight
hours, and menace to lombard the Piraus, the
Greek Government yielded on every point; this is
literally legislating at the mouth of the cannon.
Mr.. Wyse had returned to Athens all was tram
quill, and was believed that the British fleet would
shortly depart. The PARIS correspondent of the
Times appears TO think an emeute extremely pro-
bable, but adds, as General CHANGARNIER's opin-
ion that the most formidable disturbance could be
put down in two hours. No doubt is expressed Of
the Adelity Of the army.

without doubt as to its beneficial results. The
Royal Commissioners have given notice that, !" be-
: ing desirous of affordng every facility to those
.persons who may wishto exhibit machines or trains
: of machinery in motion, they have resolved to
2 allow such machinery to be managed and worked,
as far as practicable, under the superintendent of
2 the owners and by their own men. The Com
missioners will also find steam, not exceeding
thirty lbs. per inch gratuously, to the exhibitors,
and convey itn clothed pipes to such parts Of the
building as require steam power. Persons send
ing machines or articles requiring to be driven by
steam, should send, with the same, small port
able steam-engine to which steam-pipe can be
laid on. The above will apply to all engines,
$ from one-horse power to six-horse; beyond which
power, it is presumed, no single branch of manu-
: facture or article will require steam-power. As
regards machines too small to require independent
portable engines, arrangements will be made to
place them in groups, to be exhibited in commu-
nication with some steam-engne, also sent for ex-
hbiton, in motion. Exhibitors proposing to ex-
hbit portable steam-engines should understand
that their engines may be employed for driving
other machinery, unless the owners of the steam
engines object to such use.''
