PARIS, July 11th.
A tuberculosis cure is once again to the front, not only in frigid academic and scientific circles, but in clubs, cafes and newspapers. The ques- tion agitated is: Has Dr. Launelongue dis covered a remedy for this terrible discase ?" It was on Tuesday Inst that Dr. Lannelongue read his paper, in which he disclosed the result of treating infantile cases of tuberculosis with Injections of chloride of ring. The very next day he was besieged with hundreds of letters from tuberulous patients in Paris, and now thousanda from Germany, Italy, England, Russia, Spain and Switzerland are following in upon him. The excitement is almost as great as that which followed Dr. Koch's announcement. The tuber- culous public are always in a feverish haste to apply prematurely any medical discovery. They feel that they are in the presence of a sort of univeral panacen.

He also came into rather close contact with the Taipings in 1960 and 1861, when, as engineer, he was running a small steamer belonging to a Chinese mandarin. The steamer was called the Maria, having been named after ing works at Pootung. For some time it was used for carrying despatches to Admiral Gough at Sung- city, and searched boats coming down the river. After this it was sold to a Chinese official, who, as a silk merchant, had large silk stores at Soo- chow. He also owned much property on Tung- tingshan Island, on the Tahu lake, near Soochow. The steamer (which was 75 feet long, and only 8 feet beam) was armed with four 4-pounders, and was sent thither to protect his property, Mr. Grimmer did not know of this, being under the impression it was still retained for despatch It afterwards transpired that the rebels had were awaiting an opportunity of capturing it and some Ningpo war junks belonging to the Im- perialists.

ROME, July 8th. Additional Important communications from an unusual but reliable source in regard to the crisis in Peter's Fence bave just come to hand. It has already been announned that the Pope has dis missed Mgr. Folchi and the old administration, appointing in their place a commission consisting of Mgrs, Appoloni, DI Rugglers and Aloise Mas- selle, to whom was given "full power. No tat, however, has yet been able to find out the exact motive or the real secret of the affair which brought about this important change.......... It was known that Mgr. Folch's dismissal was decided apon on account of the losses sustained by Peter's Pence and because of Imprudent Investments and loans which had been mada under his ad- ministration. But that was all.
As Folchi had placed a part of the Peter's Pence money in Roman speculations, which at first brought good returns, and only lately decreased in value, the actual losses are not great.
Briefly, the situation is about as follows: When Mgr. Folchi took the administration of the Vatican Gnances he had under his control about 25,000,000 lire. There is left after him eight years' administration about 31,000,000 lire, of which, however, 6,000,000 fire are still in danger, se it consists of loans made to Roman prfaces and of a large number of depreciated securities.

Most of the furniture was saved, but the building, which, was left to its fate, is a smouldering beep, It cost $25,000. An insur ance of $30,000 on the building and contents will scarcely cover the total loss. The building will probably be rebuilt on more modern prin ciples.
