The Madrid correspondent of the Liter:i gives a aetaile:. )unt of a meeting which took place on Tuesday Ten Prim, Serrano, and Topote, the triumvirate. attitude of a certain part of the army, the hostility the Republicans, and the intrigues of the exiled Court, were the agreeable topics of discqssion which brought together the three leaders of the Revolution. General Prim was for decisive action. lie wishes to end all temporising, provoke a final struggle with the various sections of the disaffected, and Land over to the Cortes a country pacified by military rule. Serrano would go to work more cautiously, and harrass the Republicans, thus driving them to extre mities, and finally provoking such hostility as would justify the Government in declaring a state of siege in all the chief Republican centres. He further proposed an arrangement with the Queen, by which she should solemnly resign the throne in favour of her son. If the exiled sovereign would not come to terms, then the Duke of Montpensier should be finally put forwar,l. Topete, how ever, would hear nothing in favour of the Queen. He desires the Duke of Montpensier to be selected without delay as the " official candidate." This is interesting, if not reassuring; but the writer omits two important items. He does not tell us who supplied this ac count, nor does he give any satisfactory intelligence as to the result of the interview. Nevertheless, some part of this story is corroborated by other writers. There is much ground for the belief that the Ministers, bewildered by the conflicting elements around them, may very probably resort to military government; or, as a Spaniard, pointing to one of the royal palaces, energetically said, " The dog will return to his vomit." The near approach of the day on which the elections aro to commence has been heralded by a manifesto of the National .A.tepublican Committees. It is a very temperate and very creditable document. It disavows all intention of resorting to illegal means, and strongly urges the electors to lend their aid to all just measures of securing success, but to discard all others. No more than one Republican candidate is to be per mitted in each division ; no • candidate is be receive votes who has not unmistakeably declared his opinions, &c. If the deeds of the Republicans be on a par with their professions they will deserve success. Some of the French journals persist in the assertion that the two branches of the House of Bourbon, headed respectively by Isabella and Don Carlo; have come to terms. The Correspondencia of Madrid says that a mar riage has been arranged between the Prince of the Astu rias and a daughter of Don Carlos. The son of the ex-Queen is, however, only eleven years of age, so that this project cannot greatly influence the destinies of Spain. AUSTRIA. An octogenarian, living in the neighbourhood of Path, bas just died, leaving some £300,000 to a notary. To the possession of this desirable fortune is attached an extracrdinary condition : the legatee shall receive the money when lie has sung, either at La Scala, in Milan, or the San Carlo, in Naples, the part of Otello, in the opera of that name, and that of Elvin° in the " Sonnambula." The deceased once heard the notary sing, and was opinion that he would make an excellent artist. The forkmate lawyer is working night and day to "get up" in the two operas. He will doubt less be hissed, but what does that matter ? ITALY. The Florence correspondent of the Daily News, though deeming it a matter of course that the King of Italy is not averse to the prospect of the throne of Spain falling to the House of Savoy, says that General Menabrea and his Cabinet do not share the wishes and hopes of the Royal Family. The Nazione, in a very outspoken article, believed to be of Ministerial origin, writes against the candidature of an Italian prince. It must be admitted, however, that the arguments brought forward are not very substantial, though, as the Daily News correspondent remarks, the sentiment is unmistak able. The pleas against the candidature are derived chiefly from the dangers which must wait upon the sove reign of Spain, and the loss which Italy would sustain by his departure. It is doubtful how far these considerations would weigti against the desire to strengthen Italy by the alliance of an extensive country, which might become very powerful under good government. EOME. A private letter states that Rome has been very full of visitors during the Christmas season. In 1866 people were kept away by the cholera, and in 1867 by the Garibaldians, and so this year they are making up for lost time. The weather has been very *wet and mild, and the flowers sold in the streets are a sight to behold—immense bunches of camellias, roses, bluebells, and violets being sold for a franc. Round the grave of Gibson, the sculptor, there are roses in profusion. The number of handsome carriages which promenade on the Pincian Hill is very large, and hundreds of English may be jk Th ien driving there in vehicles worthy of Hyde Park. 'e "Te Dcum" which was sung at the Jesuits' Church on the 31st, in thanksgiving for the mercies of the past year, was beautifully given, and the Pope, with his bodyguard, attended in State. The service at St. John Lateran, on St. Jan's Day, was also very fine. The English society at Rome is particu larly sociable and agreeable. People do not go to Rome to dress, as they do at Nice, or to get well, as they do at Menton, but with the serious intention of studying the most interesting city in the world, with all its wealth of ancient and modern art. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. The Alabama difficulty has not yet been brought before the Senate, and the present state of the question is some what mysterious. The New York Tribune says that Senator Sumner, the chairman of the Senate Committee, has never been able to ascertain the exact status of the negotiations. As the matter must be brought before this committee, the present aspect of affairs is not particularly cheering. The Tribune adds : "It is believed in dip7o matic circles that the changes in the protocol for the settle ment of the Alabama claims, which were suggested by Secretary Seward in despatches by a late steamer to Minister Johnson, have been accepted by the English Ministry, and that the treaty is in such a shape that its speedy rati fication by the United States Senate may be looked for as a matter of course." This, however, is by no meansa cer tainty. Moreover, what is the nature of the changes alluded to? It was recently announced that there was a hitch in the negotiations, but this was caused by a demand from Mr. Seward for a complete alteration of the treaty draft. The American Minister required that the reference to the King of Prussia should be abandoned, and that the whole question be settled by the Anglo-American Com mission sitting at Washington. Surely these are not the changes whic'h have been acceded to. THE SUEZ CANAL. Mr. Borel, the engineer who divides with M. Lavalley the direction of the Suez Canal works, has drawn up an estimate of the labour remaining to be done. This is sup• ported by the most complete collection of figures, and, coming from such an authority, may be considered final. Should no unforeseen obstacle arise, the canal will be opened on the Ist of October next. This estimate has been approved by a commission composed of several officers and engineers, which was charged to investigate the condi tion of this great undertaking. INDIA. In spite of the relief afforded by charitable grain clubs and local funds, the distress in Rajpootana is becoming more intense. The North-West Provinces are in a slightly better condition, because average seasons, good wages, and more general prosperity give the inhabitants a better chance of resisting a famine. The scarcity in this district, it is hoped, will not be such as to cause loss of life. Lord Mayo, whose arrival in India has been announced by telegraph, had arranged to make a long circuit on his way to Calcutta. The good people of Madras complained so much of being passed by that the Governor. General finally consented to go by way of the Coromandel city. He will thus visit all the presidential capitals before commencing his term of office. Shere Ali and Abdul Rahman are vis-a-vis ; but the former plays a waiting game, and will not attack. He becomes stronger every day, and his enemy weaker. Numerous deserters go over to Shere Ali. The Mussulman Nawab of the State of Rampore, a man of great piety, has set an example to the rest of the Indian Empire. By a kind of Maine Law he has prohi bited the use of intoxicating drugs throughout his dominions. NATAL.—The Natal Blue-book for 1867 has been completed. It shows a revenue in that year of £96,781, and expenditure £118,329. The shipping inwards com prised 26,625 tons ; outwards 26,288 tons.

The Wasdalo had a craw of 132Ve1l aboard. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.-MRS. S. A. ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER.
