JEFFERSON DAVIS.  - -By the President, J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State.  Typhus has much diminished in Upper Egypt, but it has made serious havoc. The cattle disease, on the contrary, is increasing, and will, it is feared, gradually overrun the whole country. Three individuals were captured at Caserta,Naples, by the police on the 26th ult., and found in possession of several hundred proclamations, in which the speedy downfall of the present Government was announced, and the people advised to prepare for insurrection in favour of Francis 11.  Felice Bassani, who had been condemned to ten years' imprisonment as an accomplice in the robbery of the banker Parodi, at Genoa, has just committed suicide in the prison of La Torre. By means of a sharp instrument which he manufactured out of a truss which he wore, he stabbed himself in the heart, and was found dead in his cell by the jailor. The Post says that Prince William will take the title of King of the Helleness. He will be attended only by a small Danish suite, and he will for the most part reserve his political confidence for the leadirjg Greeks whom he will find around him at Atiens. In conformity with his general resolution is further determined that there shall be no oreign army of occupation. -  A Boston correspondent of the. Times say s:--."I novel hard a Northerner, by an chance, speak of one of his generals, of his Ministers, of his officials, with anything like a patience or respect. From Lincoln to Meade, all who take the lead over the Yankee, seem to he the object of his most withering contempt. On the other side, 1 hear not a murmur against a public man. The Southerner has faith, and it is that faith which moves mountthus."  An excursion trip from Nantes to Vera Cruz is spoken of in Paris, to be extended to Mexico; the leriod to be limited to three months, and the cost to be 3000 f. The Paris papeis expect that the subscription list will be quickly filled, as they doubtless suppose that few persons having 3000 f. at their command will deny themselves the pleasure of experiencing the yellow fever !—GaUgnani.  • • wo;kman who was last week engaged in lowering the floor of a cellar at Elbceuf, found an earthen pot containing 240 silver coins, all alike, and worth about 24 sous each. On the obverse they bear an escutcheon with three fleurs-de-lis, and the inscription "Cambia Fraucorum Rex;" on the reverse, a cross with two fleurs-de-lis, and two crowns in the angles, accompanied by the legend "Sit nomen Del benedictum." They are supposed to be of the reign of Charles VI., and to have been hidden at the time of the English invasion. _  A flag a truce came to our lines a day or two ago on the following snbject:—lt represented that an English lady, resident of Vicksburg, in, one of those critical conditions from which neither rank nor wealth exempt Eve's daughters in a state of matrimony, desired to enter our lines, that the "interesting event" might take place at some point not so exclusively under the sway of the War god. A request appealing so directly to the sympathies of our nature was readily granted. The prospective mother was permitted to enter our lines and proceed to Memphis. Cincinnati Commercial. _ _  . An English lady of 70, resident at Nice, has, according to the journals of that place, been the victim of a deplorable accident. The only company she has in the house is a servant and two dogs, whom she keeps for fear of robbers. She wears a set of false teeth, and her appearance is so altered when she by chance goes without them that the dogs du not know her. Accidentally, descending one morning lately into the court-yard of the without her teeth, the dogs flew at her and bit ler cruelly, and she was only rescued by sow, neighbours who fortunately were passing at tly, time and heard her cries. The wounds are immerous, but, luckily, not severe.  The Turin zorrespondent of the Daily News says —" A fresh case of brigandage, disastrous to the Italian soldiers who defend the Southern provinces, has just been communicated to me. Half a squadron of cavalry were advancing, without taking due precautions, upon the two banks of a 'river past a wall that partly surrounded a garden upon one of the banks, when a band of brigands concealed there suddenly tired point blank, and killed 22 of the men, 7 eseaped, and the fate of another is not yet known. It is only in this mauner that the brigands attack soldiers; never openly, unless the scoundrels are three or four times more numerous than the troops. Women and unarmed citizens they attack, however, and murder for the mere pleasure of the thing, and. the Pope blesses them."  SeveMl of the. cantons in Switzerland have f:Ays Galignani) been visited during the last few df..ys by a tremendous hurricane, accompanied b!;; heavy bail and rain. At Liestal, in Bale-Canu2,4gne, trees were torn up by the roots, and the sh'eaves of corn in the fields were scattered about in all directions. In several communes of the canton of Argau, trees were uprooted, chimneys thrown down, houses unroofed, and carts laden with corn blown over. The vines have also suffered aeverel3i, particularly in some parts of the canton of Schaffhausen, as has also the corn, the hail having fallen with great violence. In the canton of Unterwalden, the village of Sexeln and neighbonrhood were completely inundated, and considerable damage done to several of the houses by the overflowing of two small rivulets in consequence of the torrents of water which came down from the mountains.  . _ The Imperial Court has just given judgment in an appeal against a decision of the Civil Tribunal, by which Prince Dolgorowki was condemned to pay 2000 f. damages to M. Boucheron, a jeweller, under the following circumstances :—ln August, 1860, Prince Dolgorowli, wishing to make a present to an actress of the French Theatre at St Petersburg, who brad accompanied him to Paris, ordered of M. Emi-1 cheron a gold watch and a set of ' wellery, all to be mounted with diamonds, and bear the lady's initials. When the jeweller we ,t to deliver the goods, which amounted to 11, 00f., the Prince offered to pay in bills on Russia, ut these M. Raucheron refused to receive. Other elms equally unsatisfactory were subsequently oft red and declined. At last M. Boucheron commenced t roceedings against the Prince for non-execution of his contract, and laid his damages at 6000 f. ; but as the jewellery had been -61 d meanwhile to another person, the Tribunal reduced them to 2000 L, and gave a judgment for that sum. Both parties appealed against this decision, but the Cwt. after hearing counsel, confirmed [ it, and condemned Prince Dolgerowki to pay all i eoete..—On4irtaai.  r
