found the defendant guilty on the first count , that of having " corruptly paid to John Bariff Charles worth a certain sum of money , with the intent that it , or some part of it , should be used for the purpose of bribeiy . " There was a strong difference of opinion with reference to the other counts , and with respect to these the jury were discharged . Sentence was not passed . In another of the bribeiy cases , in which a person named Crowther was defendant , a verdict of not guilty was returned . A rather out-of-date charge was preffered at the Lewes Assizes against a young man named John Newnham . Nearly two

The French Minister of Finance has issued his report on the subscription to the Thirty Years' Loan , from which it appears that 4 , 093 , 814 bonds have been subscribed for . The " Monitenr adduces the magnitude of the amount , and the eagerness displayed by the public to subscribe , as a proof both of the financial power of the country and of the confidence reposed in the Governnent of the

Emperor , The announcement made by the Patrie that M . de St . Geoiges had been appointed French consul in Australia is contradicted , and it is likely that that gentleman ' s affairs will undergo a public investigation . On Saturday M . Mires lodged an appeal against the sentence lately passed on him . On Friday a fire broke out in tbe property-room of the Grand Opera , and destroyed scenery and other effects to the value of a million francs .

The same journal denounces in strong terms the pamphlet of Mgr . Liverani . The Pope pronounced a short allocution on Tuesday at Rome , expressing his satisfaction at the conduct of the episcopacy and the Italian clergy ; but deplored the aberration of some of the ecclesiastics of Milan , Modena , and the kingdom of Naples . He gave expression to his gratitude for the occupatioifof Rome hy the

French army . Cardinal Antonelli , by order of the Pope , has addressed a protest to the diplomatic body , dated Rome , July 9 , in which he refers to "the sacreligious spoliation of the major part of the Pope ' s domains . " He says it is impossible for tbe Papal Government to remain silent in presence of a loan of 500 , 000 , 000 francs , which the Piedmontese Government has resolved to contract ; and adds , "it will be clearly seen that a sum so enormous is not intended solely to provide for the wants of Piedmont , properly po called , but by overcharging also the provinces taken from tho Soverei Pontifftheir legitimate ' sovereigntends to

gn ; , increase by a new public debt the load of usurpations , and to leave for a long series of years lamentable traces of its passage , to the great detriment of the population of the Pontifical state !

Emperor of Austria refuses the demand that the union between the countries shall be a mere ' personal one , and points out that the relation of Hungary to the ' whole monarchy lias been for throe centuries real union

a , so far as war , finance and foreign affairs are concerned ; and that when the constitution was granted to the country the constitutional necessities of the whole country were taken into consideration .

" The Magyars will test the sincerity of his declaration ; for they are actively engaged in concerting measures for legal opposition to unconstitutional measures . AMERICA . —Tho intelligence brought by the Europa , which arrived on Monday , possesses considerable interest . Colonel Taylor , who had arrived in Washington with despatches from President Jefferson Davis to President Lincoln , had been sent back without an answer . The tenor of these despatches was not knownbut it was reported that they

, were " frivolous , " and that Colonel Taylor bad been sent to Washington merely for the purpose of gaining information . Congress had resolved to confine itself to granting and raising supplies for the prosecution of the war , and to postpone the consideration of private bills until the next session .

than 250 mon . The Federal troops , however , were "rapidly concentrating "in the neighbourhood ; and we are assured that the "rebels were expected to be utterly routed within a day or two . " In Western Virginia , near Laurel Hill , there had likewise been some skirmishing ; and General M'Clellan was expected to attack the entrenched position of the Secessionists on the 11 th inst . The conclusion of the American news is of a very melancholy nature , namely , the death of the wife or Professor Longfellow , by accidental burning . The Etna has arrived with

intelligence from New York to tbe evening of the 12 th inst . General M'Clellan has attacked the entrenched camp of the Southerners at Rich Mountain , in ' Western Virginia , and completely routed them , capturing all their guns aud camp equipage .

In Missouri there was a good deal of skirmishing , and large bodies were said to be flocking to the support of the Secessionist General Jackson . A severe shock of earthquake bad been felt at Montreal , Ottawa , and Canada West .

SOUTH AJIEKICA . —Intelligence from the River Plate , per French steamer Beam , dated Buenos Ayres , loth June , again assumes its old complexion . The streets and cafes are scoured by patrols at night , driving at the point of the bayonet the native youth into the barracks to serve as National Guards , or show cause for exception .

Colonel Baird Smith states that there are no materials in existence for forming any estimate , havingeven the slightest claims to confidence of the mortality attributable to

the famine . It has certainly been very great ; but it is a consoling thought that , deplorable as the mortality has been , yet twice as many have been recovered from the terrible condition in which they were found as have sunk under it . Lieut .-Colonel W . A Mayheir , Adjutant-General of the Army , left the presidency on the 4 th of Juno for Simlah , being compelled by ill-health to relinquish his duties at head-quarters ; it was supposed that Major Beccher would act for him till the departure o army headquarters from the presidency for the hills .
