In consequence Of the great mortality which has
taken place OF late years in silkworms throughout
Europe the price of all kinds Of silk goods has ad-
vanced exceedingly. To remedy the deficit in silk
caused by the disease which had set in, the Societe
dAcclmatation proposed to introduce into France the
| species known by the name of the bombyx cynthia,
and which is easily fed on the leaves of the rcinus,
the berries of which furnish the aperient known in
| medicine by the name of castor oil. That shrub is
exceedingly common in Algeria, and grows readily
in France particularly in the south. The worms in
question have succeeded perfectly well in the French
SOIL and quantities Of the eggs have been sent to
various points OF France and Algeria, where the ex
Kiment has perfectly succeeded, the species of
worms being found universally hardy and enduring.

| The London Examiner of the 18th ultimo savs:-
The nceties of crcumspecton are not to be looked
for in the commanders of cruisers while the other
| hand We have to lay account with the most
aggerated susceptibility on the side Of those modest
Il
ade before mischief is done; and that Is not all let
England give notice to all nations concerned in the
slave trade that she will take her share in the work
OF humanity if they will contribute their quota of
assistance but that she will no longer consent to
| bear the whole burden of the task.
The London Times Of the 18th ultimo remarks:--
| Nobody can seriously imagine that such country
as the United Kingdom would shrink from con-
fict with the United States if Justice were on our
side, and the war were forced upon But in any
it would be q serious calamity to the world and
we rejoice to that, generally speaking, the tone
of feeling throughout the States Is in favor OF mode
rate c0unsels.
| The London Post of 10Th of June remarks IF
war should come whether from France or elsewhere,
| we shall know what to do. If any Power Chinks ut
to.attempt an invasion Of our coast, they are at
| liberty to make the experiment. We DO not expect
| the result would encourage them to try 1t again.
But in the absence of ny assgnabe reason, it would
be ungenerous 10 suspect the good faith OF our ally
and with the knowledge we have of the Of
the two countries ii is silly 10 complain because
| France, following our example, has an eye to the
efficient drilling and numerical strength OF her army
and navy.

His property will be doubled in value, and that may
give him secret satisfaction for the displace

his possessions in the west Of Ireland Lord Canr

The illustrOus Lord Cough whose military services
| have not yet been rewarded with the well merited
baton of a marshal, will be pleased with the pro-
spective improvement of his Galway estates.
| There has been q cessation of the expectation of
British spirits To France in consequence OF the al

upon imported spirits In the last year the amount

The Society of Friends in England rc;enty adj
dressed memorial to the Emperor Of the French
on the subject of the African slave trade. They
say:-Deeply impressed with the enormity aud
sinfulness ia the sight of God of buying and sell
| ing our felowmen and treating them as the beasts
that perish, we do earnestly entrea the Emperor Of
the French so to exercise the power intrusted to
him that no proceedings on the part Of the French
government may In future open the way for a re-
| vval of this trade in human beings; that all at
tempts to introduce intot colonies Of France ma
tives Of Africa under the name Of free emigrants,
may henceforth be absolutely prohibited.

dents here went to Ostia TO visit the numerous dis
coveries made in that old city by means of the ex.
cavatons ordered by The Pope, and directed by Com
| landed and were conducted by NJ. Viscont through
the excavations. and the greatest surprise was eX
pressed at the complete manner in which the ruins
of that splendid city have been brought TO light
The fountains the public squares, the baths OF An
toninus Plus, with their fine mosaics, the statues
and the columns constitute the finest group OF ruins
that can be possibly conceived. The chateau Of
Castel Fuzano, with its wood Of r trees, after
wards visited by the party after which they returned
10 Rome, delighted with their excursion.
Another letter from Rome says:-Whati is still more
important than all that Is the possible II not yet

tration have displeased him. Prince Orsini. dis

there. The new minister, on his part does not wish
10 see Cardinal Antonelli.
