ULY 30, 1853. foreign Vittrarg nub gtrtistit gossip. A THEATRE iS about to be constructed at Algiers. It is to be the finest ornament of the town, and in augurated with great éclat. An excellent troop of singers has already left Paris. THE OPERA CORIQUE is rehearsing the Nabal of Halevy. The Grand Opera will reopen with a ballet, and begin immediately the rehearsals of Meyerbeer's Africa in. A COLLEeTION OF EULOGISTIC POEMS, with which the elevation of one of their countrywomen to the throne of the French Emperor has inspired the Spanish poets Sato.res, Villergas, Culate, Baeza, Borao, Rapeta, Manini, Hartzenbusch, &c., has been printed at Paris in a magnificent volume. They were 'resented in manuscript to the noble lady to whom they are dedicated, and who encouraged the publication. M. HERMANN I,WEISB is publishing at Berlin a "History of Costume." The first part is devoted to that of the ancients. ONE OF THE BEST BELGIAN PAINTERS, M. Debiefve, has just finished for the newly-built senate house in Brussels a large composition representing "Belgium declaring itself a Nation." The allegorical figure of the country, standing on a perron, covered with a mantle of crimson velvet sown with golden lions, is surrounded by emblematic figures of the nine pro vinces, and of the chief towns, figured by young women bearing the historical or industrial attributes of the locality. The picture, without being equal to the former productions of the artist, and especially his "Combination of the Belgian and Dutch Nobles against the Spanish Domination," is distinguished by eminent qualities. THE ART EXHIBITION AT GHENT will open on August 23. It is affirmed it will be more brilliant than any that has preceded it. The English school, which was fairly represented at the last exhibition at Antwerp, will take a still more important part at Ghent. A committee for the promotion of the fine arts has been formed at Ghent, and entrusted with the organisation of the exhibition. WE hear of a new and curious application of pho tography. At one of the last sittings of the French Academy of Science, M. Regnault produced a series of photographic images on paper of objects of natural history taken with the aid of the microscope. The invention will be of great utility to naturalists and GERMAN JorRNALISM.—The transition from censor ship to freedom of the press causes many curious complications in Germany. The New , Preussische Zeitung, a journal of a pronond character, has had to encounter many difficulties of late; and the editors of all the Berlin papers have been summoned before the police, and "some more caution" recommended to be taken in reference to the Turkish imbroglio. Dr. Schweitzer, a Prussian, but now chief editor of the Vienna official Gazette, has compiled a codex of editorial duties, which he has submitted to the Aus trian Government for acceptance. One of the rules laid down there is, that no person connected with any journal published in Austria shall furnish matter to any foreign periodical, &c. _ _ GERMAN IDEALISM.—the well-known Dr. Enne mours has published a work " On the Origin and the Nature of the Human Mind (Seele) and on the In spiration of Mind (Beseelung) in the Human Ftr tus." The constant disputes between materialism and spiritualism are investigated in this work from a new point of view, the differences between the animals and man are estimated upon high scientific principles, and the reconciliation of natural history and metaphysics attempted on the ground of the identity of matter and mind. Ross's' has left his residence at Bologna, and has purchased a mansion in Florence, where he intends to end his days. SWEDISH EXPLORISO PARTY.—The Swedish frigate Eugenia has returned to StockhiAm after an ab sence of two years spent in a circumnavigation of the world. The acquisitions of natural and ethno logical curiosities and specimens have been great. They will be published in an especial work under the patronage of the brother of the King, who is an officer in the Swedish fleet. ARTS IN RUSSIA.—M. Donner, a distinguished pupil of Cornelius, has been engaged for several years past in St. Petersburg on paintings for the great churches of that city, especially that of St. Isaac. M. - Donner is now on a journey through Italy, and will remain a year at Rome to make sketches and cartoons for some paintings to be ex ecuted at Moscow. TVIMISH DIPLOMATIC TERMS.—AS the present Eastern crisis makes the fixing of Turkish diplo matic terms a matter of importance, the following Kauai may be interesting :—" Hatti-sheriff," which, in its literal translation, means a bull of the Kaliff, is an organic law proclaimed by the Sultan, and which he promulgates by his own authority, under religious sanction, and irrevocably, as the Chief of the Faithful. " Tansimat " is the regulation of the hatti-sheriff of THE PRESS. Gulhare, or the constitutional charter of the Turks. " !rade " is an ordinance, an instruc tion, signed by the Sultan in his capacity of a ►oli tical personage. " Firman" is an order, signed by the Sultan, relating mostly to administrative affairs. " Benat" is a diploma conferred on persons for dis tinction sake. " Sewed" is a diplomatic convention signed by a minister, and implying a reciprocal obli gation. ilnibtrsitg nttUigtntt. OXFORD.

It was suggested that a scholarship might be founded in his honour, or some addition made to the college chapel, in token of the respect felt by all Eton men towards Dr. Keate. The school list contains 614 names, an increase of nearly twenty on the list of last year. There are titty candidates for admission on the foundation, and there is only one vacancy at present.
