! In France, the new Electoral Law. and
the recall of the minister from the cour
of St. James, were the prominent topics
| of newspaper comment. The course
pursued by both governments seems TO be
universally sustained by their respective
journals. The pretext for the French
minister s withdrawal, seems to be INSULT
cient, and countenances the suspicion that
! it was political move, designed to absorb
public attention, and to counteract the
revolutionary tendencies of the people.
! The Paris National says, 1--WE read in
Belgian paper, that M. Theirs, after
seventeen years marriage, is about 10 be-
come father, and that he and his lady
are to visit Italy, for the purpose OF hav.
ing the child baptized by his Holiness "
We regret TO announce the demise OF
Mrs. Jeffrey, the widow of Lord Jeffrey
whose death was SO recently the cause ol
almost universal sorrow. Shortly after
the latter's decease, his wit,ow, who was
much affected by the sad event, broke up
her establishment in Moray Place, and
went to reside with her son-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Empson, at Hal
ley bury, HEREFORD. But she never recov-
cred the shock she sustained by the death
of her distinguished partner, whom she
has not survived four months. Mrs. JEFF
frey's maiden name was Wilkes, grand
neice of the celebrated John Wilkes, and
was native Of the United States.
A meeting of persons desirous TO do

IRELAND.
Trinity term was opened with the usual
formalities-the most remarkable incident
connected with il, being that the list of
candidates for admission to the degree of
barrisier has dwindled down to the unu,
sually low number of three.
A numerous meeting was held in Cork
city court house, yesterday, to promote
the object Of the exhibition of industry in

The Limerick Reporter gives the fol-
lowing account of an unusually violent
storm, which reached considerable por-
ton of Tipperary and Limerick:-"The
war of elements began in the west. Ii
passed the city of Limerick at twelve
O'Clock, enveloping the city in cloud OF
dust. but without dong any particular
mischief. At Groom, hail stones of large
size fell in great abundance; the lightning
was remarkably vivid, and the thunder
| loud as If within the ehor,est distance. -
Among the Glare mountains, at the oppo-
site side of the Shannon, its effects were
equally terrific; and at Caslleconnell.
whilst the congregation were at church,
the lightning struck the church sleeple,
carrying off about five feet in length and
four feet in breadth of the solid masonry,
and spreading CONSERVATION among the
congregation. The clergyman and those
who were present, left the church as soon
as possible. The storm then passed on
towards the keepers range, and appeared
to dwell for some hours among the noun
tains in that district. After the rage OF
elements, the weather cleared up beauti-
suited TO the season, and affording promise
of ripe and rapid vegetation.
ROME.
The Pope is in state OF inteEse alarm,
and is suspected of desiring to escape and
take refuge with the Auslrians. His
alarm has received an accession from the
success of the socialists in the late cleo
tions in France. The correspondent OF
the London NeWS, says that his Holiness
communicated to the Commando t Gener-
al of the French army, his apprehensions.
The General, as might have been expect
ed, was protuse in expectations and pro.
misses, re-assuring the Pope with the most
positive declarations that France, what.
ever political changes she might undergo,
would never, after the great sacrifices she
had made, and the undoubted proofs oi
devotion which she had given, take any
step tending to affect the dignity or en-
danger the liberty of the head of the
church. His Holiness, wisely rejecting
that the Generals personal opinion could
hardly influence the acts Of whole nation
in revolution, was reluctant to abandon
idea of change Of scene, and alluded,
with some hesitation, 10 vow he had
made at Gaeta, to visit the holy house at
Loretto, and to his present desire to fulfil
this pilgrimage.
How far this point may have been
urged, or in what exact terms ii may have
been combatted by the French General, it
is of course difficult to ascertain; but the
result is, that his Holiness is guarded with
a renewed degree of vigilance; French
officers of the etat major are continually
