Many priests have been arrested, and forty students" of tUe Monastery of Kien huvo been sent to Liberia.— l'aris correspondent of Commercial Gnzctie. In France nothing very remearkable has occurred during the month. You know by the despatch of M. de Thouvenel, what is our attitude on trie Anglo-American question, and in •whose fiivoi- the right and generous feeling of the nation luuj inclined. Perhaps the mediation of Trance, should siie be invoked to mediate, will have n sanitary effect.— lbid. The Senate has assembled in session extraordinary to consider and regulate the financial future of France. The project of the Senulus Consulte has been placed op. the table of the Seriate by his Excellency M. Barcehe. The project to be considered is divided iuto two points. First, the mode of voting the budget by sections Second, the necessity for an act to open supple-, inentary o:- extraordinary credits. That is the uew system inaugurated by M. Fould, and which he is enduiv,mring to realize and put in practice. A deem from Compiegne, dated Ist December, confirms tho new minister of finance in his right of control, preliminarily, over all sorts of financial measures. For the future every decree au- * thorising or ordering public works, and measures of any kind having the effect of adding to the charges in the budget will not be submitted for . the Emperor's signature unless first revised by the Minister of Finance. The project of the Seimt'us Consulte has beon adopted unanimously, save one non-content, the Cardinal Mathieu. The Session has been closed till 15th January, when the regular work of legislation begins.— lbid. It is asserted that the Spanish expedition against Mexico left Havanna on the 3rd December, under the command of Marshall Serrano Governor of the island of Cuba. He proposed storming Vera Cruz, and marching on Mexico, as a vast conspiracy against the Spaniards had been discovered there.— lbid. From Portugal there is no political newsofany kind. No hopes are entertained of the recovery of the young Prince Don Augusto, and riow C2sth) a telegram announces that Prince Joso, brother of the King, is also dangerously ill; he is now given over.— lbid. Parliament was prorogued on the 17th by the Chancellor and Commission to January 17th, but as the Words "for dispatch of business" were not added, it is questionable if it will open then, unless there be war with America. The last-news from India, .Calcutta, 19th Nov., is very favorable; cotton rapidly advancing for the English market; the seat of Government is now decided to be changed from Calcutta to the Hills. Mr. Cecil Beadon's appointment as Lieut.-Govcrnor of Bengal has been confirmed. Mr. Mellor, Q. C. and"M,P. for the town of Nottingham, has been appointed judge in the place of Mr. Justice Hill, who retired on account of ill health.— Spectator. Water is much wanted at Ballaarat: Some of the companies arc idle on account of this. But we shall hardly be long without rain now. Still, we must protest against, this being considered, as some of the goldfields prop'.e call it, a sealou of drought.— Herald, Nov. 7. The important subject of steam communication with Great Britain was the t'ueuie of an influential meeting of merchants and other representatives of local commerce held yesterday, ar the Criterion Hotel. Some 80 or 00 gentlemen were present, who after listening to an able and carefully considered statement by Mr Burstall, exhibiting theadvantages to be derived from the jOi-gnnisation of a colonial company which should undertake the conveyance of the mails and passengers to and from Great Britain and Victoria, nominated a committee, with instructions to ascertain from the Government their views with respect to the policy of . subsidisingacompanysuchaswasproposed.- Herald,' March 7. . ■ « . A Township Visited by an Epidemic.—A report from the township of Over Darwen sta-es that the district has been visited by an epidemic. The epidemic took the form of typhus and gastric fever, and so fearfully has it been 'felt, that a thousand cases were visited by the medical attendants, and thirty deaths took place. One of the Government medical inspectors has inspected the township, and Viis report is anything bnt favorable to its sanitary condition, Cesspools, piggeries, and more noxious • places were so situated as fully to account for the spread of fever in the locality, and it is now stated that the township is undergoing a thorough system of sanitary renovation.' The water comes in, too, for a share of public reprobation, and it will undergo an analysis.— Winchester Examiner. TUAPEKA HOSPITAL. A 'MEETING of the SUBSCRIBERS to the Tuapeta.
