CONSULS,

OPENING OF THE CENTENNIAL EX HIBITION AT PHILADELPHIA.

A memorial has been presented to the Queen by the Royal Colonial Institute, praying for a distinct recognition of the colonies in the new title. It meets with the general concurrence of colonists now in England. Shortly after the Goliath and the Warsprite were destroyed, another training ship, the Hannah, mysteriously took fire, but the flames were subdued. One of the boys was suspected and committed for trial. There has been severe rioting at Salonica, between the Turks and Christians. The affray originated through the apostacy of a girl. The French and German Consuls were murdered in a mosque. _-■■-_•_.
