PROFESSOR WAAGEN, the director of the picture gallery at the Royal Museum in Hamburg, will shortly leave for London, at the invitation of Prince Albert. His stay is likely to be a lengthy one. IT is reported that the furniture and all the im perial recollections in the Napoleonian mansion of Atrenenberg (Thurgovie) have been lately transferred to Paris. A SWEDISH OFFICER in Stockholm, who some years ago took a drawing of the fort of Sveaborg, demands for it not less than 4,0001. sterling. THE owner of the Itigi Kulm Hotel, M. Burgi, is said to contemplate the establishment, at his own expense, of a telegraphic apparatus from his hotel to Arth. This place is equally distant from Schwytz and Lucerne, and would thus be put into electric communication with the latter city. M. THEILER, the Swiss inventor of the printing tele graph, has received in Paris a patent and 2,000/. from M. Froment, the well-known improver of telegraphs. SOME very ingeniously-designed wire apparatus for training climbing plants to elegant shapes has just been imported from France, and is intended for exhi bition in the Sydenhani Crystal Palace. A SUMMARY of the conditions upon which the Paris Industrial Exhibition will be conducted has been issued by the Department of Science and Art, Marl borough-house. The exhibition will open on the Ist May, 1855. The French commission will only com municate with exhibitors from foreign countries through the commission appointed by each country for that purpose. No articles will be admitted from foreign countries except with the sanction of such foreign commission. Every article produced or obtained by human industry, whether of raw material, machinery, manufactures, or fine arts, is admissible, except :—Living animals and plants; substances liable to become putrid from keeping ; detonating and other dangerous substances ; articles of extravagant size. All goods must reach Paris between the 15th January and 15th March, 1855, which period may, in a few exceptional cases, be extended to the 15th of April. M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN in the Dibats recommends that a scientific and archaeological commission should be attached to the French army in the East, similar to the one which accompanied Bonaparte to Egypt. 6ttluiastial.

Visa daysA the ain s o, a young e steamerog m from an mC d a pretty girl who halonsarrivedat a 7 oom ons p s a o n m ie e d him were arrested as they stepped on shore by some police agents. It soon transpired that the young man had inn away with the girl from London, and that the fuo - were arrested by order of her father. The man, whose name was Tolomeo, was a goldchaeer of Piedmont, who had been employed by a London silversmith named Grafton. Tolomeo showed such talent that he was made foreman, and afterwards ventured to propose for his master's only daughter. The father refused his consent, but the young man, having seduced Miss Grafton, persuaded her to fly with him. This she did, taking with her a consider able sum of money belonging to her father. They stayed some while in Paris, but, fearing pursuit, were on their way to Piedmont when the police succeeded in effecting their capture. M. J. DELIUS, of Bremen, having ascended Mount Vesu vius, on the 14th of May, with a party of his countrymen, went too near the edge of the crater, and, the ground giving way under him, he fell into the abyss. His groans were heard from the bottom, but when some persons de scended by means of ropes he was dead. A MAN well lodged was found dead in his bed in Paris a few days ago, who, according to the official report of the commissary of police, had died of starvation from avarice. A quantity of gold and silver money was found in his room. Anvioes FROM FRANKFORT mention some curious incidents in connection with the subscription lists for the new bank. The anxiety to sign was so great that it became impossible to keep the crowd in order without the aid of soldiers. An Austrian battalion had been called in, and proceeded so characteristically in clearing the place with their bayonets that three peaceble citizens were dangerously wounded. The capital of the bank is limited to 1,700,0001., but it was expected that more than 8,000,0001. would be signed for, and the shares were selling by anticipation at 4 premium. According to a table drawn up by the Paris Mint autho- rities, there are about 400 coins of different denominations now, or formerly, in circulation among various nations. These nre of gold, silver, copper, and platina, many of them of large value. Among the most considerable are the American fifty-dollar piece in gold, worth 258 f. (101. Os. 8d.); the Florentine double quadruple, worth 111. ; the dobruan of Portugal, worth 61. 15s. 9d . • ; the gold carlino of Piedmont, worth about 61.; the leon d or of the Law Countries, worth 41. ; the Neapolitan ducat, 51. 4s. ; and the Sardinian doppia, worth 41. In Rus sia platina coins are struck worth from 10s. to 21 . 10a, T he smallest gold coins are, the English quarter-gurnea the Roman demi-sequin, worth M.; the French eV. piece the Portuguese craguda, worth 2s. 9d.; the Genoese quarter sequin, worth 2a. ; the Swedish quarte r • dn e at, 2s. 5d.; and the Egyptian sequin, whose fluctuating value seldom exceeds 2e. 1 SATURDAY,
