Erance. •Nothing Was Talked About On Sat...
ERANCE . Nothing was talked about on Saturday hut the severe check which the ministers received the day before , by the defeat of tbeir intention to bring forward the law of mayor * before the recess . The influence ofthe government over the municipalities is strenuously resisted hy the legitimists , who uphold the franchises of the communes , not from any love to freedom , but because they feel that here lies
the stronghold of their own power . It was m accordance with this opinion that tbe legitimist reporter of tbe committee , M . Labonlie , drew up a report so unfavourable to the government ' s bill . The union which prevails on this subject throughout all . shades of the legitimist party was evinced with remarkable clearness ; and it became evident that by a coalition with the Left they could at any moment defeat tbe government . This has been often apprehended but seldom shown in so striking a
manner .. Pabis , Sunday . —The bill forthe further restriction of the liberty of the press in France , after having been allowed to lie dormant for some months , has been resuscitated . M . de _Chasseloup-Lfaabat , who drew up the report of the committee , yesterday presented it to the Assembly . The following are the principal points of difference between the bill as originally presented by the government , and tbat now laid before the Assembly by M . Chasseloup-Laubat .
In the original bill the caution-money was declared to be fixed in the departments of the Seine , Seine-et—Marne _, Seine-et-Oise , and the Rhone , as follows ;— 'If the journal is published more than twice a week , either on fixed days or irregularly , the caution-money shall be 50 , 000 f . ' ; it shall be 40 000 . if the journal is published only twice a week ; and 20 _, 000 f . if the journal only appears once a week , or at greater intervals . ' The committee proposes that when the jonrnel appears more than three times a week , the caution-money shall be 24 . 000 f ., and if only three times a week , or less , 18 , 000 . Again , the government bill went on to say : — ' The caution-monev of journals appearing more than
twice a week in the departments , other than those ¦ of the Seine , Seine-ei-Marne , Seine-et-Oise , and ihe Rhone , shall be 20 , 000 f . for towns of 50 , 000 inhabitants and over ; 12 , 000 f . for less considerable towns ; and , respectively , the half , of these two sums for journals or periodical publications appearing , at most , twice a week . ' Here the committee reduces the amount to 6 _, 000 f . and 3 , 600 f ., and to one-half of these amounts in the cases just specified . The bill of the committee also contains several articles to regulate the keeping up of the full amount of caution-money incases of fine . With respect to the stamp-duty , the government bill declared that' within fifteen days after the
promulgation of the present bill a fixed stamp-duty shall be imposed-on journals and periodical publications , no matter what may be their size . It shall be 4 c the sheet on periodical journals , publications , or engravings of less than two leaves of impression , published hi the departments of the Seine , Seine-et-Oise , Se me-et-Marne , and Rhone , and in the arrondissements containing atown of 50 , 000 inhabitants , or over . The journals and other periodical publications pnblisbed elsewhere shall pay a stamp-duty of 2 c the sheet . ' The hill of the committee proposes to say , tbat after July 15 all journals or periodical publications of less than ten leaves of thirty-two centimetres square , or less than five
leaves of from sixty-nine to seventy-two decimetres -square , shall pay a duty of 6 c . in the departments of the Seine aud the Seine-et-Oise , and 2 c . everywhere else . The payment of this duty will enable journals to be sent free , those paying 6 a . all over the territory of the Republic , and ( hose paying 2 c . within the department where they are published , and the departments touching it on every side . All journals wbich are to be sent beyond these latter limits must pay 4 c . additional . In Paris lc . will be remitted when the journal is distributed at the cost of the proprietor . The exceptions to these regulations are to be scientific and religious works , periodicals devoted to _edacational purposes , & c .
The majority in favour of Mr . Roebuck s motion was announced to the pnblic here last night , by a telegraphic despatch , published in the ministerial papers . Singularly enough the figure , forty-six , coincides exactly with the conservative majority' of the French ministers upon their cabinet question of the dotation . The 'Siecle' was seized yesterday , in consequence of an article allading to tbe old affair of M . Teste , and drawing parallels which reflected on the government . The * Siecle' 4 s to be prosecuted for exciting io hatred of the authorities .
A duel with swords has just taken place at Versailles between M . Clary and M . Valentin , tbe Moniagnard representative , in consequence of some re - marks on M . Valentin , in a letter addressed by M . Clary to the' _lloniteur . ' M . Valentin received a severe bnt not dangerous wound in the thigh . The seconds of M . Clary were , General de Grammont and Captain Agme ; those of M . Valentin , M . Scboelcher and M . Bruckner . 'L ' Ami du People , ' a Socialist paper published at Pay , Haute Loire , and prosecuted for a seditious libel has been acquitted hy the jury . The directors of _£ be'Emancipation de Toulouse ' have also been acquitted .
The printer of _Ledra Rollm ' s pamphlet , _< Le 13 Join , ' has heen sentenced to three months' inprison . ment and costs , for having affixed a fictitious name and address to the publication . Wednesday . —Accounts from Rennes , Brittany , state that in consequence of a violent hail-storm all the crops of wheat , oats , tobacco , and rape for three leagues in tbat neighbourhood have been totally destroyed , and , at the same time , three bouses thrown down by a whirlwind . General Fabvier has presented a proposition to the National Assembly to the effect that Abd-el-Eader shall bs forthwith transferred to Alexandria er St . Jean d'Aere , in virtue of the convention made with him .
The director of the ' National * was sentenced by the Police Court of Paris , on Tuesday , to imprisonment for three months and to pay a fine of 200 francs for having announced a subscription to pay a fine imposed on a Socialist journal . The Presidents and secretaries of the standing committees of the National Assembly were nominated on Tuesday . They are all Conservatives .
GERMANY : The number of political journals proscribed tbe use of the pest-office in Prussia is still increasing . In the district of Munster this privilege has been withdrawn from the ' Weslphalain' Volkshalle and the * ffochcnblatt . ' In the Bromberg district no paper has been struck , the ' Bromberg Volksblatt , ' the only opposition journal there published having recently abjured the discussion of political questions . In the Konigsberg district , the ' Oestpreussischen Schnlboten' has been excluded from the post-office . Some of the above papers have announced their discontinuance after certain dates .
AUSTRIA" AND HUNGARY . VIENNA , June 27 . —The political organisation for Croatia , and Slavonia _. and the military frontier , are published . The former are to be entirely separated from Hungary . The ancient dignity of Ihe Ban is to be retained . The Slavonic is to remain the official language . The Croats and Slavonians are highly praised for their loyalty and good services in 1849 . The _tsilitary frontier is to retain its ancient character ; Some slight alterations are made in the internal management . RUSSIA . ' Reports are in circulation , both in Berlin and Vienna , tbat the Emperor of Russia intends , on the 1 st bf December next , to abdicate in favour of his son the Hereditary Grand Prince Alexander .
GREECE . There are reports of a ministerial crisis . The journal * Patris' has been been confiscated . New and . more severe press-laws are expected . The treaty of trade with Russia bas been promulgated .
THE INSURRECTION IN BULGARIA . Advices have been received in Vienna from _Semlin to the " 21 st ult . The outbreak of an insurrection is Bulgaria is confirmed . The insurgents attacked the fortress Belgradnicza on the 15 th ult ., but were repulsed with some loss by the grrrison . On a subsequent attack tbey appear to bave gained possession of the fort . One account , which is on the face of it exaggerated , says that 40 , 000 men
are under arms . The cause of the insurrection is said hy one account to be the discontent of the people , in consequence of the exactions and oppression of the Turkish government officers . Another acwunt _, ascribes it to Russian machinations . The principal leader is a certain A . Rascha . The chiefs have assembled at _Belgradeicza , and have drawn up a statement of the demands . It is said to be very moderate and just . Greek priests are reported to be connected with the movement .

According to another account the Pacha of Widdin having collected a body of troops , attacked the insurgent peasants near that place upon the 18 th nit , and after cutting down about 500 dispersed the remainder ; > It is supposed this affair Will put an end to the rebellion . The same accounts , mention that Outer Pacha bad entered Bosnia with 20 , 000 mehj and expected ; to crush the rebellion in a short time . ' The death of Tahir Pacha ( not to be confounded with the celebrated and patriotic ex-Grand Admiral ) is also' announced , and it is added tbat his demise will facilitate the means of tranquillising the land .
PORTUGAL . We have letters from Lisbon of the 29 th ult ., on which day the Portuguese Cabinet was about to call a Conncil of State upon the American claims , which Mr . Clay , the United States Charge _d'Affaires , had declared must be satisfied by the 11 th of July , or he should demand his passports . Onr correspondent enters at length into some of the claims , amounting to about 330 , 000 do ! ., and states
that there is no chance of the Portuguese government admitting one half tbat sum . The War Department at Lisbon had placed cannon and munitions of war in the forts at the entrance of the Tagus . British claims were also pouring in upon Portugal , and Lord Palmerston bad made a demand insisting upon the faithful execution of the treaty of commerce with reference to the differential duty levied npon port wine for tbe . English market . — Times .
EGYPT . ALEXANDRIA , Jdnk 18 . —On the 9 th inst . the Viceroy Abbas Pacha came down from Cairo , and on the following day put to sea with three steamers for the island of Rhodes to pay his respects to the Sultan , who was known to be there and who waited for his Highness a few days . After performing quarantine Abbas Pasha was received in the most flattering manner by the Sultan , -who may well be pleased with so subservient a subject . His Turkish Majesty presented the Viceroy with a
decoration , and tbe latter made over to him the fine _serew-stearner Sharkeeyeh , which was so much admired in England , with all her appointments complete , every description of stores and provisions , a valuable horse and richly embroidered saddle , and £ 50 , 000 sterling in hard dollars . One of the fans ofthe screw of the Sharkeeyeh is broken , and she bad to be towed to Rhodes ; but a new fan is expected from Eng l a nd , which will be sent to Constantinople . . On the . Sultan leaving Rhodes with the Turkish fleet Abbas Pasha returned to Alexandria , having been away a week altogether .
INDIA AND CHINA . CATASTROPHE AT BENARES . A terrific explosion took place at Benares , in India , by which upwards of 1 , 000 lives were lost . A fleet of thirty-five boats , containing government ordnance stores , amongst which were 3 * 000 barrels ( 330 , 0001 bs . ) of gunpowder , arrived at Benares en route to the upper provinces on the afternoon of the lst of May , and were moored off the Raj Ghaut ( the principal landing place of the city , ) in the centre of tbe town . A little after ten p . m . one of these boats caught fire , and immediately after the whole exploded , sinking all the boats near the
landing place , and destroying or injuring every one within a certain range . By the latest accounts the killed and wounded amounted to 1 , 200 , but more were continually being disinterred by the 300 men at work in removing the rains . The Raj Ghaut Hotel , the Begum's Palace , and the Mansion House are amongst the principal buildings destroyed , and the missionary ' s wife , the Begum and her family , are amongst tbe victims . On the river , all the thirty-five ordnance boats were sunk or destroyed , together with twenty-eight boats laden with beer , the property of Messrs . Crump and Co ., , of Cawnpore , and also twelve or fifteen laden with mer - chandise belonging to natives . The crews of these boats have , with very few exceptions , perished .
The European who was in charge of Messrs Crump and Co . ' _s boats , escaped , being pulled insensible out of the water ; his wife and family perished . A court of inquiry is sitting , but the conductor in charge is supposed to be almost the only survivor to tell the tale . Much of the sunken ordnance stores , field-pieces , & c , are supposed to be recoverable . The magistrates and otber authorities hare exerted themselves to the utmost . 300 prisoners were employed immediately in exhuming the sufferers . The flagrant impropriety of intrusting so large a flotilla of such a character to an irresponsible understrapper , and of allowing it to be moored close to the quays of a densely-populated city , is much commented on by the Indian papers .
The downward tendency of the Nizam ' s affairs appears daily more marked , and the speedy seizure for debt by the English government of the valley of Beam is confidently anticipated . The China papers of tbe last month are barren of incident . Business is reported rather dull . The pirate chief Sbap'igtsai ( whose fleet was recently destroyed by the English men-of-war in the Gulf of Tonquin ) had given in his submission to the Chinese government on terms which secured ofiice to himself and his lieutenants , and amnesty for his followers . He is now a mandarin of the fifth grade . His followers are pardoned , and ' affectionately admonished to return to their homes and endeavour to become good subjects . '
Recent accounts from Cochin China state that cholera made its appearance in tbat country in the latter part of last yeer , and had committed great ravages , traversing tbe whole kingdom . It broke out in the month of September , in the royal province , and quickly spread through the otber provinces , proceeding in a northern direction . It attained tbe greatest malignity in the month o f October , after which it diminished in intensify » but at the latest dates it bad not entirely ceased _, occasionally exhibiting renewed vigour . In the Royal province tbe most moderate and trustworthy estimates state the number of victims at 20 , 000 ,
although some carry the reckoning as high as 100 , 000 ; and it is thought that the other provinces have lost from 10 , 000 to 15 , 000 inhabitants each . The greatest consternation prevailed , and the usual care and respect for the dead , which so strikingly characterise tbe Chinese nations , were entirely lost sight of . The corpses were thrown out into the fields and rivers , in some places actually obstructing the streams , and persons who bad been seized with the malady were cast out of their houses before life had departed . A great drought had also prevailed , followed by famine , the rice crops having almost entirely failed , and the inhabitants were
reduced to the utmost misery , feeding upon leaves and whatever they could possibly use as a means of preserving life . Unusually heavy rains afterwards followed , completing whatever of the work of destruction the drought had left unaccomplished , and sweeping away the few paddy fields which the miserable inhabitants had been able with much toil and perseverance _, to form . We have not learnt whether the cholera had appeared in Cambodia , but it can scarcely have escaped a visitation , considering the virulence with which it had prevailed on both sides of it in the adjoining kingdoms of Siam and Cochin China .
AMERICA . By the Royal Mail Steam-ship America , Captain Shannon , we have advices from New York direct to the 19 th , and Halifax to the 21 st ult . We learn that the Cuban affair was entirely settled , the American prisoners having been released after passing through the form of a trial . A rencontre had taken place in New York between Mr . N . P . Wills and Mr . Edwin Forrest , in which the former was seriously injured . Forrest had charged Willis with the seduction of his ( Forrest ' s ) wife . The steam-ship Griffiths was burnt within twenty miles of Cleveland , and upwards of 200 persons drowned and burnt .
The application of Professor Webster for a new trial had beea unsuccessful . A Brazilian vessel , with 240 slaves on board , had been captured off Cuba , and taken into Port Royal .
CALIFORNIA . May 25 . —The Panama Echo' gives an account of an attack on the office of tbat paper by a body of the natives , who did a vast deal of damage , and killed several Americans . The pretext for these outrages was the arrest of a negro boy who had stolen a trunk value 800 dol ., the property of the editor of the * Echo , ' which is an American paper . A protest against the insecurity to life and
property which prevailed at Panama ; had been signed by the British , French , and Chilian Consuls , which had the effect of eliciting a proclamation from the Governor of the province , detailing stringent regulations for the peace of the city . The Isthmus is very insecure , and many attacks upon the lives and effects of American emigrants had taken , place . About 2 , 000 persons were at Panama waiting _pai-« ageto California . .

money at last , and as he made this last observation , he took from his pooket a large roll of something resembling bank notes and a purse which' appeared to contain a large quantity of gold . He then said tbat the authorities at Dootors ' -commons had recommended him not to let any but parties of whose respectability he was assured ; know what good fortune had attended him in his legal proceedings , and upon this , the man who accosted the prosecutor put his hand in his pocket and produced a roll of " . flash *? notes , ; a proceeding which induced the prisoner to say " that will do ; ¦ that shows me that you are . a respectable man , " and the man then asked the prosecutor if he could produce any money to show that he was respectable . The
prosecutor said he could not , but could get some for the matter of that , and , ¦ acting upon a suggestion ; of the prisoner , he wenti to a house he was living at , 10 , Globe-street , Wapping , and fetched a £ 10 note and six sovereigns , and returned to the house . The prisoner expressed himself satisfied as to the prosecutor ' s respectability , when he saw the money , and at his suggestion it _tfaa agreed to accompany him to his lodging j and on their way up the , CityTroad ; . the prisoner and his accomplice , the man who first spoke to the prosecutor , iuduced him to enter the Red Lion public ' : house , and there they had some ale . The prisoner again boasted of his money , and' said that as his companions were respectable men , he would lend
them £ 60 each ; and the man expressing ; his thanks said he would go and fetch a couple of bill stamps ; The prisoner asled . him to leave some security for his return , and he laid on the table bis roll of sham notes , observing that that would answer for his return . . When he got to the door : he beckoned the prosecutor to him , 'and when he got up from his seat he could . not do less than his friend had donenamely , leave . his money as security for his'return . This he did , and whilst the man got him . some twenty yards away from the house , pretending to consult him about the stamps and the loans , . the prisoner escaped with the money .

the prisoner on Tower-hill , and gave him into custody . —In cross-examination , the prosecutor admitted that . he had received £ 10 fromthe prisoner ' s sister , on condition that he varied his testimony so as to obtain the prisoner ' s acquittal . Ho said he did this not to . defeat justice , but to get back a portion of his money . He never had any intention of performing the condition . —Mr .

He represented that he had endeavoured to obtain a livelihood by writing for monthly publications , that he was a nephew of General Dyoe , asd that he was acquainted with Colonel ¦ Consadine , a number of officers of the Madras establishment , and the Quarter-Master-General of the Indian army .

TBEBAntmcs . —The history of medicine is by no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether more is known of diseases '; their cause ; and their : cure , at this moment / than at the time of Galen ; it ia certain that diseases are quite as numerous , and inthe aggregate aa fatal . Every age has producedsome _newsystem of ; artificial therapeutics which the next age . has banished ; each has boasted in its turn ot cures , and thev , in their turn ,: ; nave been condemned as failures . Medicines themselves are the subjects of fashion . Is it not a positive proof that medicine is yet unsettled ; in fact , that it has no established principles , that it is little more that conjectural ? 'At this moment , ' says Mr .
