The political news is unmportant The bill to
facilitate the admission of Jews into Parliament had
passed that body, as had also the bill imposing GER
tain penalties upon the assumption of any eccesas-
teal titles derived from places in England by the
clergy of the Catholic Church. In France, usual
the question is that of revsal of the Constitution,
so as to admit of the reelection of the present Pres
dent-Louis Napoleon. According to the existing
constitution, President is not eligible for immedi
ate reelection to second term. 1t is said that Alb
del Kadir, the distinguished Arab chief, who tough
so long in Algeria against the French, whose prison
er he finally became is at length actually to be set

The Russian army in the Caucasus has met with
other terrible reverse, their entertainments having
been attacked and stormed by the mountainers
der Mahommed Emin. The Russians were forced
from all their positions with loss of five thousand
men in killed and prisoners. The Constantinople
correspondent of the London Morning Herald, wri-
ting under date of June 25h gives the following &C
count of the matter:
| Important news has been received from Dagstan
via Treblzonde. All the correspondence from Tifis
gives less the details of the of the
mountaineers over the Russians who have suffered
immense loss. The leader of the Daghless is Mo-
hamed Emin, the nab of Sheikh Chamil who, at
the head of 600 picked men of the warlike tribes
of the Abedeks and other independent tribes of the
western Caucasus, had attacked the Russian entrench
ment of the Chenis and driven the Russian troops,
under the command of Gen Cerebrenof, beyond
Themer. The engagements which took place were
bloody and disastrous, and the Russians suffered so
severely, that all the spare wagons OF the army were
barely sufficient to carry their wounded away
Their loss, according to an impartial statement is
calculated at 5000 in killed and prisoners The
mortality in comparison is by far greater among the
officers than among the privates The position of
the Russian army is very insecure at present ac-
count of the communications between Themer and
Kouban being intercepted, and owing to the vigi-
lance of the Daghless, it is impossible to send rein
forcements in that direction for time to come
The mountaineers boast at present of being well
supplied with ammunition and arms, and ready to
continue the against the invaders of their homes
throughout the whole summer season.
The prospects of the crops in the British Islands
are excellent, and business is lively.
The Limerick Emigration Committee are about
making application to the Lords of the Treasury for
one of the Cunard line of mail steamers, to make the
run from Halifax Boston, New York to the Shan
non, in one instance only. an experiment, to test
the advantages Of this line of transatlantic
nication before that of Cork or Galway.
