FRANCE. The President of the Republic's progress through the eastern departments has not answered ,the expectations either of himself or of his partisans. His reception at Dijon was neither unaniqaous nor cordial. A large number of the members of the municipal council refused to join their colleagues in receiving him. There were cries of an unequivocally menacing character, more from the tone in which they were uttered, than from the words themselves. At Tonnerre, although cries of "Vive Napoleonwere numerous,.tjiere were fully as many pf la Mepiib- liquel" One zealous democrat approached the window of Louis Napoleon's carriage, and cried" A bas Napoleon Thursday being the anniversary of the birth of the Emperor Napoleon, all the veterans of the empire, still sur- viving in Paris, assisted at a mass celebrated at the Church .of the .Invalides for the occasion they proceeded thence to the Emperor's Column, in the Place Vendome, where they placed immortelles and bouquets. As a measure of precau- tion the Committee of Permanence sat at the Palace of the Legislative Assembly during the day. The Courrier de la Drome gives an account of a number of arrests lately effected in the south of France. At Lyons forty persons were surprised in deliberation, under pretext of forming a fraternal association. ° The Concordia of Turin, Paris correspondent, tells the following story:—" M. Bastide, former Minister for Foreign Affairs, said to me yesterday, I authorise you to declare and to write, if you think proper, that Generals Cavaignac, Lamoriciere, and others, as well as Colonel Charras, are determined to place themselves at the head of the people; and army, not only in the event of a military coup de main, but also in that of a simple prolongation of the presidential powers.' M. Bastide then added, If the people do not rise, we five (he here named the Generals) will erect a barri- cade and offer our lives for the defence of the constitution.' M. Bastide is the intimate friend of General Cavaignac. It is said that General Changarnier has pledged himself on his honour to uphold the constitution and oppose all attempts at a coup d'etat.

AUSTRIA. The fine of 2,000,000 florins imposed on the Hungarian Jews has at length been formerly remitted, and they have pledged themselves to deposit in the hands of Government 1,000,000 florins as a fund fbr Jewish schools. It is said not to be the intention of Government to pro- ceed to the sale of any of the estates confiscated in Hungary, but to farm them for a period of two or three years, and that they will eventually be returned to their furmer pro- prietors. —————

CUBA, The prisoners connected with the late expedition of adventurers who were taken at Contoy amounted only to 52. Atter a judicial investigation, 41 were pronounced innocent, because they went on board of the vessels on the supposition that they were bound for Chagres, and refused to take part in the expedition when its real object was made known to them one, whose name was Moore, was pardoned on the ground of having given evidence under that promise, he having gone out with a full knowledge of the objects of the enterprise. These 42 men were handed over to an American vessel of war. Ten men remained whose cases were still under investigation they consisted of the officers and crews of the two captured vessels which had been de- clared conifscated.

EGYPT. Most of the Armenians and other Christians holding authority in the Government of the country from Artin Bey, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, downwards are in disgrace, and Mohammedan ideas are quite preponderant, all the important posts being occupied by Turks. Kanee Pasha is busily engaged in the supervision of all Govern- ment accounts, and many embezzlements have been dis- covered, particularly in the stamp duties and sales of grain and YoossefF Bey, a reputed son of Boghos Bey, who has been for upwards of twenty years in office, has been put into prison. The Nile is this year rising very slowly.

INDIA. The date of the intelligence received is, Calcutta, July 2. Sir Charles Napier has resigned, and takes his final leave of India in October next. Nothing certain is known re- garding his successor. The Punjaub and British India are tranquil throughout. Another skirmish had taken place in the Nizam's capital. The subject of Indian railways now begins to occupy the Madras and Bengal journals. The London boards are looked on in India as a costly superfluity. Of the experimental lines, that of Bombay is likely to be the first commenced and partially opened. In the Punjaub public executions continue to be painfully frequent; during the months of April and May, twenty-two condemned pri- soners underwent the extreme penalty of the law at Lahore. Sir H. Lawrence has left that city on a visit to Cashmere and Ladak. A very large deposit of fossil remains, con- sisting chiefly of elephants' teeth, tusks, &c., has been discovered by Colonel Napier during the operations of the Punjaub survey in the neighbourhood of Potwar. A very severe shock of an earthquake was felt at Mussoore early on the morning of the 5th of June. The pestilence known as the Maha Murree, or certain death, has again broken out in the hills of Gurhwal and Kemaon, This disease has all the appearance and symptoms of the plague of Turkey. The Court of Inquiry charged to investigate the cause of the catastrophe at Benares has re-assembled, the Government having expressed itself highly dissatisfied with the meagre results of its former proceedings. The lowest estimate gives a total of 400 killed. The cause of the explosion is said to be a mystery.

jrrlUIllr. ♦ From an early hour on Sunday morning the wind has blown with great violence from the west, and has been ac- companied during a part of the time by heavy rain. The effect of such weather on the standing grain crops will be to some extent injurious, but no injury to the potatoes is expected from it. The provincial papers of Saturday again teem with conflicting reports and opinions, and again the more hopeful and favourable predominate. The Southern Reporter says:—" All the accounts we have heard this week of this anxiously watched crop (the potato) are of the most cheering and satisfactory character, some attributing the blackening of ihe leaves, and in some cases of the stajks, to the effects of lightning, others to the high winds which prevailed for a few days, but the majority admitting that the injury to the plant has been very partial, with the exception of a large portion of Kerry, where the damage sustained is yery great Harvest operations are proceeding vigorously in the vicinity of Cork, nearly all the wheat crop being ready for the sickle, and the weather most propitious." The Limeru.'k Chronicle says: The reports of the potatoe crop in Limerick, Clare, Kerry, and Tipperary, are this week more favourable and the plant appears to recover from its temporary blight in places where the sudden in- fliction bad caused such alarm." The Nenagh Guardian, referring to the same subject, ga I says:—" From all we can learn the virus has not descended from the stalk into the potato. In most instances the stalks are blackened just as they were in 1846, but when you at- tempt to break them they bend only, nor do they snap in two, nor emit that foul sniell so indicative of the character of the disease." The Nenagh Guardian, a landlord's journal, states that on the 7th instant 30 persons were evicted off the lands of Moyaliffe, the property of James Lenigan, Esq., Castle Fogarty. They owed large arrears of rent. On the same day 10 persons were evicted from the lands of Templebeg, near Thurles, the property of Peter Graham, Esq., of Dublin. The following curious statement appears in the Freeman of Monday THE SEA SERPENT JN DUBLIN BAY.—On Thursday evening week, Mr. Walsh, of Sackville-street, Mr. Hogan, of Sutton, and several other gentlemen, while enjoying a sail in the yacht of Mr. Hogan, had the additional and ex- citing pleasure of witnessing the evolutions of an enormous sea monster, which more resembled in shape and size the great sea serpent than any other Jiving thing which any of the gentlemen had ever before seen or beard described. Mr. Hogan's yacht was at the time the monster appeared in view (half-past six p.m.,) sailing between Dalkey and Suttoh. One of the gentlemen on board the yacht saw the monster at a distance of about half a mile rushing with great impetuosity in a direction towards Howth Point. He im- mediately directed the attention of his companions to the strange visitor, and the whole party continued for several minutes to watch his movements and scrutinise his shape and dimensions. Several portions of the back were in view over the water, and seemed to resemble the coils of a serpent," to adopt the phraseology of one of the gentlemen who waited on us to describe the circumstance. The head was shaped not unlike like that of an eel, and was borne aloft several feet out of the water. The speed at which he moved through the water was estimated at twenty miles an hour, and he left a wake such as might be expected from a ship of several hundred tons. The gentleman who saw this monster computed his length at one hundred feet; and Mr. Walsh informs us that Mr. Hogan, who had been many years at sea, was quite satisfied that the monster was not of the whale tribe, or was not of a species heretofore known to mariners and described by naturalists. The Count de Streletzski arrived in Limerick last week upon his benevolent mission for the relief of the hid. r or. Some experiments made on Saturday with a small screw steamer on the Grand Canal, near liublin, proved highly satisfactory, and steamers of that kind are Waceforth to be employed by the company.

HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. *— MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,— I have the satisfaction of being able to release you from the duties of a laborious session. The assiduity and care with, which you have applied yourselves to the business which re- quired your attention, merit my cordial approbation. The Act for the better government of DIY Australian Colo- nies will, I trust, improve the condition of those rising com- munities. It will always be gratifying to me to be able to extend the advantages of representative institutions, which form the glory and happiness of my people, to colonies inha- bited by men who are capable of exercising, with benefit to themselves, the privileges of freedom. It has afforded me great satisfaction to give my assent to the Act which you have passed for the improvement of the mer- chant naval service of this country. It is, I trust, calculated to promote the welfare of every class connected with this es- sential branch of the national interest. The Act for the gradual discontinuance ofinterments within the limits of the metropolis, is in conformity with those en. lightened views which have for their object the improvement of the public health. I shall watch with interest the progress of measures relating to this important subject. I have given my cordial assent to the Act for the extension of the elective franchise in Ireland, I look to the most bene- ficial consequences from a measure which has been framed with a view to give to my people in Ireland a fair participa- tion in the benfits of our representative system. I have observed with the greatest interest and satisfaction the measures which have been adopted with a view to the improvement of the administration of justice in various de- partments, and I confidently anticipate they will be productive of much public convenience and advantage. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF ComLiio-Ns,- The improvement of the revenue, and the large reductions which have been made in various branches of expenditure, have tended to give to our financial condition stability and security. I am happy to find that you have been enabled to releive my subjects from some of the burthens of taxation, without impairing the sufficiency of out resources to meet the charges imposed upon them. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,— I am encouraged to hope that the treaty between Germany and Denmark, which has been concluded at Berlin under my mediation, may lead at no distant period to the restoration of peace in the north of Europe. No endeavour shall be wanted on my part to secure the attainment of this great blessing. I continue to maintain the most friendly relations with foreign Powers,and I trust that nothing may occur to disturb the general peace. I have every reason to be thankful for the loyalty and at- tachmen,t of my people, and while I am studious topreserae and to improve our institutions, I rely upon the goodness of Almighty God to favour my efforts, and to guide the destinies of this nation. The Lord Chancellor then, in her Majesty's name and by her Majesty's commands, declared the Parliament prorogued until the 15cli of October next. Her Majesty then descended from the throne, and bowm" most graciously to the asssmbled Peers, left the House, nccoru- panied by her lioyal Consort and the whole of her attendants,

NATIONAL FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. A public meeting to promote the interests of the above society, was held at the Temperance-hall, Bow, on Wednesday evening week, E. C. Clarke, Esq., in the chair. Mr. Thomas Beggs, at considerable length, explained the origin and principles of the Freehold Laud Movement, and pointed out the political, moral, and social advantages to be derived therefrom, and especially by the inclustrious° working- classes, for whose benefit the first society was formed by a working man. Mr. W. G. Whittingham, the secretary of the society, pre- sented the progress which the Freehold Land Movement had made during the last two years, and stated that, from the small beginning of two men at Birmingham, there were now between 50 and 60 societies, having between 16,000 and 17 00u members, holding between 20,000 and 30,000 shares, and that new societies were being formed weekly, and additional members enrolled. He then stated that the National Freehold Land Society had been in existence about nine months during which time it had issued nearly 3,700 shares, and had purchased eleven estates, which would be divided into about 1,700 allotments, at the cost of above £ 3,000. Mr. W. then ex- plained the destinet feature of their society that the accumu- lated funds of the subscribing members were drawn for monthly and that those who thus became entitled to an advance had trie choice of an allotment out of every estate purchased, until they obtained that which they believed would be most suitable or they might reject the whole, and offer any property of adequate value in their own neighbourhood, which they were desirourof purchasing; but that while thus the society afforded every fa- cility for working men by their combined and accumulated contribution of 4s. per month, to become possessed of their own freehold in the cheapest possible way, and thus to secure a vote and an independence by a profitable investment of their savings, it also afforded to persons of small capital equal facili- ties to purchase one or several adjoining allotments, at the wholesale price, a portion of every estate being appropriated to this purpose, after sufficIent has been reserved, equivalent to the amount of money in hand from the subscribing members. And, to show the advantages afforded to this class of members, hi cited several instances which had recently occured in the vici- mty of London, where land in similar situations to that purchfe J 1 by the society, but previously divided into plots, had realized sums of £ 120 and £ 130 each, besides the legal expenses, while plots of the same size were alloted by the society for £ 30, in- cluding the convenience After fnrther elucidating the practi- cal working of the society, heurged those present to join in this movement, which was no impracticable scheme but simply ths means of enabling a number of persons of limited capital by co- operation, to reap all the advantages which large capitalists had hitherto exclusively possessed. Resolutions expressing approval of the society followed, af:er addresses delivered by Messrs. Cross, Collins, and Cation, and several shares wore taken.

ROME. The Pope is sadly perplexed in mind in consequence of the conviction of six murderers, to whose sentence of de- capitation he is to affix his name, as he revolts from the signature of a death warrant, and entreats that these mis- creants should be sent to the galleys for the rest of their lives. The Government and the judges are not inclined to give way; and Pio Nono, whose tenderness of heart is pro- verbial, is in despair, the evidence in all the cases being of the clearest nature. No execution has taken place since the accession of the supreme Pontiff, nor for some years before.

DENMARK, &c. The papers have published a note by Chevalier Bunsen to Lord Palmerston, on the Schleswig-Holstein affair, in which he communicates the entire approbation by his Go- vernment of his refusal to join in the European protocol to which the other Great Powers have become parties. He dwells on a phrase in that protocol, new to the international law of Germany—" the original integrity of the Danish Monarchy;" that expression, he says, is neither more exact in point of international law, nor less politically threatening towards Germany, than would be the expres- sion the integrity of the Dutch Monarchy,' in a sense implying that the Dutchy of Luxemburg was considered to form, in conjunction with Holland, the Dutch Monarchy." The Danes had, on the 10th instant, occupied Tonningen, and were throwing up intrenchments near Friedrichstadt. Accounts from Copenhagen mention that Count Adam Mltke had been succeeded as Minister for Foreign Affairs by Chamberlain Reedtz. Count Heinrich Reventlow Criminil, formerly Minister for Foreign Affairs, had been charged with the Presidency of the Civil Administration of the Dutchies of Holstein and Lauenberg, to be responsible to the king. The number of men killed iu the battle of Idstedt has been officially announced in the Copenhagen papers to have been on both days inclusive 439, wounded 2,718, besides 614 missing, making a total loss of 3,771 officers, non-commis- sioned officers, and men. Intelligence from Frankfort of the 12th, states that Den- mark had declared herself ready to postpone the term ap- pointed for the ratification of the treaty of peace until Germany should have an acknowledged power acting for the Bund.

HARVEST DISASTER.—Fr.oous isr BFLGT.UM. --Under this date our correspondent says:—"I traversed to-day the line from Lille to this town, and on my way saw a most melancholy har- vest scene. For nearly sixty miles all the low lauds are flooded, and in some spot the water extends over the rail way itself to such an extent that we were in fear that the fires would be put out and I the train be at a stand still. The aspect of the country is very painful. In many places the reapers seem to have been literally driven from their work by the waters, half a field of wheat being cut and tied with the water extending half way up the shock as it stands where they left it, the other half of the crop being still uncut, with the ears of the corn just visible above the surface of the flood In other places the cut wheat is seen floating about. Thousands of acres of water now stretch on each side of the rail- way, and might be taken for lakes, were it not for the rows of tree-tops that mark the margins of the submerged fields. Here and there the people were at work up to their waists in water, striving to rescue their property; but what they could get, like that which now lies soaking under water, can have very little value. The floods seem heaviest towards Charleroi, and the Sambre as I write is rolling into the Meuse with double its usual volume, and its tide as yellow and turbid as a second Tiber. If the rest of the country suffers as this portion of it now does, Belgium must be a buyer of foreign corn this year, to make up her losses. SINGULAR SUICIDE.—On Sunday evening, about a quarter past nine o'clock, a loud report, similar to the discharge of fire-arms, was heard in the bedroom of a house occupied by Mr. Johnson, slipper-maker., No. 20, St. James's-street, Lee-street, Kings- land-road. A person broke through the window of the room from whence the noise proceeded, and there discovered the son of Mr. Johnson, a young man 19 years of age, lying on the floor in the agonies of death. Messrs. Munday and Duncombe, surgeons, were immediately sent for, but the unfortunate young man had ceased to live before their arrival. Mr. Duncombe made an ex- amination of the body, when he discovered a large aperture in the stomach of the deceased, caused by a bullet which had entered the body, and caused almost instant death. The instrument used by the deceased was the barrel of an old Italian iron, which he had prepared by drilling a hole at the extremity for priming the charge. AN ACCIDENT OF A PAINFUL AND SERIOUS NATURE (says the Devonport Telegraph) occourred last week to Major Gully and his friend, Captain Mainwaring, who having been fishing, were re- turning to Trevennen in a four wheel-carriage, when, owing to the breaking of some part of the harness, the korie started off at full speed. Captain Mainwaring unfortunately sprung out of the car- riage, and, entangling his foot with the wheel, sustained a com- pound fracture of the leg. Major Gully, with great presence of mind, reined up the horse towards the hedge thus stopping him in his wild career, on the summit of a steep, hill and saving himself and two lads who were likewise in the carriage, from further danger. The Captain is going on favourably. CURIOUS SURGICAL CASE.—A recent number of the Medical Gazette gives the details of a case of 'great interest. An unnnited fracture of the tibia of twenty-four years' standing successfully treated by Mr.Tamplin, the surgeon of the Orthopse lic Hospital. At the age of fourteen montbs a young lady received an injnry to one of her legs, by slipping between the bars of a garden seat. The full extent of the injury was not discovered till some some time after, when most painful symptoms disclosed them- selves. Surgeons of eminence were consulted, but no effectual relief was obtained. Amputation was generally recommended; and when Mr. Tamplin was first consulted, in 1849, the leg was two inches and a half shorter than the other. The system of extension, which had been so successfully applied at the OrLho- psetlic Hospital to other cases, was applied by Mr. Tamplin in this case, and it became also necessary to divide the tendo-achillis. A steady continued pressure was kept up on the tibia above the point of fracture, and counter pressure on the back of the leg just above the ancle-joint. The results of this treatment were most satisfactory. The leg became gradually elongated, and the patient was in April last, in the presence of Mr. Travers and Mr. Lawrence, enabled to stand and walk without aid, and without a sign of motion at the point of the fracture.

ADVERTISUMTINT.-Tlte high estimation in which IIollmoay,s Pills are held for the cure of Indigestion, %c.—In a letter written by Mr. J. H. ijell, of Geelong, to the agent for the sale of Hollo way's Pills and Ointment, at Melbourne, Port Phillip, he says Gratitude obliges me to publish the great benefit my wife hai received from the use of these unparalleled Pills.

A few minutes after two o'clock, the boombing of cannon, occasioned by the firing of a royal salute, announced the ap- proach of her Majesty. At about a quarter past two, her Majesty, preceeded by the officers of the household, the Duke of Wellington carrying the sword of state, the Marquis of Lansdowne the crown and cushion, and the Earl of Zetland the cap of maintenance, entered the house on the right hand of the throne, leaning on the arm of his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, Her Majesty was attended by the Duchess of Sutherland, as mistress of the robes, and Lady Joceivn.
