THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.  The Bishop of Oxford has addressed the subjoined letter to his archdeacons : Cuddesdon Palace, July 30.  " My Dear Mr. Archdeacon,—May I request you to communicate to the clergy of your archdeaconry the following injunction from me as ordinary ? That, on the Sunday after the receipt of it, they give notice to their congregations, at the conclusion of the Nicene Creed, in these terms  " You are earnestly desired to make your humble suppkications to Almighty God, who is the author of peace and lover of concord, that He will promote peace among our brethren in America, and inspire their hearts with Christian unity and fellowship. " To allow of which prayer a short pause will for the present be made after the suffrage in the Litany, that it may please Thee to give to all nations unity, peace, and concord; and also in the prayer for all sorts and conditions of men,' after the words we commend to thy fatherly goodness all those who are in any ways afflicted or distressed in mind, body, or estate." I am, my dear Mr. Archdeacon, Your faithful friend and brother, S. OxoN.  Baron de Beust, the Saxon Minister, is, it is said, taking steps to overcome the opposition of the petty States to the French treaty. He has had an interview for that purpose with Baron de Dalgwigk, Minister of State of the Grand Duke of Hesse.  The Tribunal of Sienna (Tuscany) on the 25th condemned two Carmelite friars, Fathers Onorato and Emiliano, to twenty months' and six months' imprisonment respectively, for writing and circulating two pamphlets, one entitled " The Temporal Power of the Pope," and the other, " A Gross Untruth of the Revolution ;" in which the King and Government of Italy, the army and the na• tion were spoken of in the most insulting language. The prior of the convent, Father Hilarion, was acquitted for want of evidence.  Unfavourable advices respecting the young game have been received from many districts in Belgium. The extensive shooting grounds in the neighbourhoods of Malines, Louvain, and Namur, and between Cortemberg and Brussels, have suffered considerably from the rain. From Luxembourg and the Ardennes the information received is more re-assuring, the partridges having suffered but little, and for some days past have btcome much stronger.  The police of Lyons seem at last to havo discovered a clue which may lead to the punishment of the person who murdered the little girl found strangled near the Veit.° railway station, in December last. A man, named X—, who, at the time of the murder, was a sergent de vine, was arrested last week for a criminal assault on a girl only four years old. It appears that he had previously been apprehended for a similar crime, but had succeeded in proving an alibi. The examining magistrate charged with the investigation into this last charge, struck with these repeated arrests for the same kind of offence, was led to suspect that the person in custody might be the author of the murder in De6ember. It may be remembered that the poor victim had been gagged with a cotton handkerchief, which remained in possession of the police. After X—'s arrest, the commissary of police of Vaise went to his house, and while X—'s wife was engaged in answering the questions of the arnts, he contrived to slip the handkerchief above mentioned into a bag containing foul linen ready for the wash. When the contents d this bag were afterwards turned out before the woman, she recognised the handkerchief as one belonging to her husband, and which she had not seen for months. X— was immediately charged with the murder, but he protested his innocence. Owing to the light apparently thrown upon the affair by this discovery, a fresh investigation has been instituted.
