Continental Notes. France. The Monitew A...
The recent storm ;? of thunder , lightning , and ^ ain , have caused immense damage to the crops in several of the departments of France . Besides the violence of the hail an d wind , the rivers in many places overflowed , causing a large number of vines to be swept away , and even throwing down massive buildings . A lamentable event has happened in the roads of Belle Isle . The English galiot John Edward , Captain Evans , was lying at anchor , when the French war cutter Amaranthe , which was on guard , fired a shot , to make the Englishman show its colours . This - % vas not attended to ; and a second musket , loaded with ball , was discharged at the vessel . The result was that John Williams , a seaman , was instantly shot dead .
The trial of the conspirators called the Francs-Juges has been concluded before the Court of Correctional Police . It was proved that they met by night to enrol members outside the walls of Paris ; that they wore masks , and were otherwise disguised . Their object was the establishment of a democratic and social republic , and their pass-words were ' Courage , ' ' Vengeance , ' ' Alibaud , ' * Pianori , ' ' Milano . ' Of the forty-five arrested six were acquitted . Eavet , Dssmoulins , Aucaigne , Franjois , and Joseph , proved to have been the chiefs of the secret society , were sentenced to periods of
imprisonment varying from four years to eighteen months , and to pay fines varying from . oOOfr . to 200 fr . The remainder were sentenced to imprisonment for periods varying from two years to six months , and to fines varying from 300 fr . to lOOfr .

Biche 3 , a gentleman of some note in . the agricultural world . It is a chemical composition , the nature of which is still kept secret by the inventor ; but its mode of application is rather curious , the grain intended to be sown being mechanically coated with , the compound the earthThe
previously to its being consigned to . rich principle being thus in immediate contact with the seed-to be developed , the soil needs no other kind of manure . Four pounds of the compound are sufficient for an acre of land . According to II . Biclies ' s experiments , the application of his manure would raise the present yield of France from 82 , 000 , 000 hectolitres of wheat to 410 , 000 , 000 . Dr . Stockhard , Professor at the Academy of Tharand , in Saxony , has lately pronounced in favour of this system . — Times Paris
Correspondent . A Signor Sirtori , an Italian patriot , residing in France , and a noted opponent of Muratism , suddenly disappeared about the middle of last May , after having had an altercation with three other Italians , who advocate the cause of Hurat . For some time his friends could not find Mm ; at length , they discovered the missing patriot shut up in a lunatic asylum at Bicetre , ¦ n here it was impossible for him to . communicate with any one . The friends addressed themselves to the authorities , and he was at once restored to liberty . There was nothing whatever the matter with him ; but it ia said that he was subjected to the restraint of a . straitwaistcoat for three days . Tho explanation is to the effect that a mistake on the part of a ssrgent-de-villa led to his confinement .

The country in a state of tranquillity , roads in course of construction , increase of cultivation , public works ia progress , crimes and transgressions diminishing , tlia Arab population more inclined to obedience—every day , I may say , rewards ojir efforts with fresh success . Our moral influence evdn extends beyond our sphero of action . "
