We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 18 .413):—"Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the lOly Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du 'carry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a blateful at every meal.

The snceessor of Count Usedom as the Prussian Ani basss,dor at Florence is not yet known, but it is believed that by a shifting of places the Government will strengthen its positionby alloting a diplomatic post to Count Munster, formerly Minister of the King of Hanover. The recall, or rather the disgrace, of Count Usedom seems to be owing to Count Bismarck. These two public men have ever been on unfriendly terms, for in 1852 the present Prussian Chancellor, then almost unknown, was sup. planted as Ambassador at Frankfort by Count Usedom. The llloniteur affirms that negotiations have been going on between France, Austria, and Italy with the view of bringing about an alliance. Whether these intrigues have had any practical result does not transpire, but Count Usedom certainly failed to keep his Government well informed respecting them. ELECTIONEERING IN HUNGARY. The Hungarians are so delighted with their newly. acquired free institutions that the lampooning, brick. throwing, and hat-demolishing of English elections are rejected as altogether too tame. The opposite parties indulge in pitched tattles. Four or five dead is a not uncommon result. The last bulletin of the campaign records a loss of two killed and forty wounded. In order to put an end to these scenes, which are frequently winked at by the local authorities, the Government has declared that intimidation will be held a criminal offence, and that officials who exhibit any negli. gence will be dismissed. SECTARIANISM IN RUSSIA. Nothing in the history of religious schism is comparable to the extravagancies of the numerous Russian sects and sub-sects which abjure the Greek Church and make war upon the Czar as its temporal representative. The Skoptsti are but one powerful division of Russian dissent. The two great sections into which these schismatics are divided are the Bezpopoftsi, who do not acknowledge a, priesthood, and the Popoftsi, who support a species of clerical hierarchy. The former are subdivided into thirty. seven sects, of which the Skoptsu are one. All these differ among themselves, but they agree in the main principles of hostility to the Emperor, who seems to be the genuine " Beast," and in excessive mortification of the flesh. They practice literally the precept "if thine eye offend thee pluck it out," and as a natural sequence to this doctrine, suicide is held to be the most merito rious of actions, and the surest passport to heaven. On one occasion 1,700 fanatics, not Skoptsu, shut them. selves in wooden huts, around which inflammable matter had been heaped, and set fire to the whole mass. On another occasion a monk and 38 adherents burned them. selves in a similar manner. The members of one sect break off all relationship with society, and roam about in the depths of the forests in order to escape obedience to the " Beast." Another denomination lives in incessant expectation of the coming of Christ. Their preachers have several times announced the precise day of His second appearance, and on each occasion the members of the sect dug graves and lay in them awaiting the blast of the last trumpet. Their frequent disappoint.. ments have not sannatished their credulity. The second great division, the Popoftsi, are less wild in their practice and belief. The total number of Dissenters in Russia is estimated at nine millions. SPAIN. Monday's sitting of the Cortes may be taken as virtually decisive of the destinies of Spain. The Government refused to deprive the Duke of Montpensier of his command as Captain-General. Admiral Topete, the third in rank of the revolutionary leaders, then openly and gratuitously avowed that he sup• ported the candidature of the Orleanist Prince. Prim and Serrano were more reticent, and expressed their willingness to accept a republic if the Cortes selected that form of Government, but they well knew that they were offering to accept what never would be chosen. Montpensier seems to have been the only prince mentioned. The Ministry have acknowledged the process of exhaus tion by which no choice is left to the nation; indeed proof is not wanting that other candidatures have been but dummies to conceal the intentions of the Government. THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA. The telegram received at Madrid states that the Izmir gents have been defeated, and that Havanna is tranquil. But, according to the New York papers, which devote a a very large space to details of the revolution, the rest of the island is by no means in the same peaceful condition. The insurgents have long held the whole of the Eastern interior, and now threaten the most important points in the west. The Spaniards may win battles with a lar g o army, but it is urged with much show of reason that an island, 800 miles long, intersected with mountains, and overrun with a hostile population, cannot be subdued by any force that Spaincan command. " It is time, therefore," observes the New York _Herald, " to consider our position with regard to Cuba." The Cubans are about to ask for belligerent rights. America must not refuse the recogni tion, "common humarity demands it." And this is the people who have done all but make war on England on account of the "premature" recognition of the Confede racy as a belligerent. THE UNITED STATES. Mr. Andrew Johnson has not retired from the leader. ship of the United States with much glory, but his vgto of the Copper Tariff Bill was supported by perhaps the best argument he ever sent to Congress. The ex-President shewed that, whilst the miners of Lake Superior demanded the tariff toprevent them from starving, a more important interest, the Atlantic smelters, opposed it on precisely the same grounds. Congress was asked to bolster up the less productive industry of the two. Besides this, the increased duty would enhance the cost of an important article, blue vitriol, 70 per cent., and thus seriously interfere with such indus tries as the dyeing and printing of coloured cloths. This will entail fresh claimants for protection, and a de mand for another increase of duties, and so the see-saw of bad policy goes on. It is noteworthy that Congress passed the bill over Mr. Johnson's veto only by a very narrow majority. The Chicagoan, the leading woman's rights' organ, linius h , put forth a clear and concise statement of the policy of . which it is the recognised exponent. According to this journal, the great object of the woman's rights' movement is not the enjoyment of the suffrage, the free command of the labour market, equality of education, or any of these trifles. These are all very well, but are only regarded as means to an end. Free trade in marriage is the great work to be accomplished. COurtship ought not to be the exclusive privilege of man. W.omen ought to be on an equality in this respect, if, indeed the right to woo is not primarily theirs. Then, "in the parental realm woman's sove reignty ought to be recognised." Finally, the C'hicagean, would not have the bonds of matrimony too inflexible ; indeed, the fact that it is published in a town which is entitled "the City of Easy Divorce" to some extent ex. plains its mission. In the Superior Court of Illinois an interesting will case has begun, involving Chicago property valued at $1,500,000. The suit is brought by Henry Uhlich, eldest son of the late Carl Gottfried Uhlich. The deceased had three sons. Henry disagreed with his father, and the two younger sons were of weak intellect. Old Uhlich, just before his death, confided in John H. Muhlke, and entrusted his affairs to his management. The millionaire died intestate, though he had directed that his son Henry receive $50,000 w)rth of property, and his second son a small monthly allowance, while the remainder should be divided between his youngest son and Muhlke. The latter thus receives about $70n,000. Henry claims that his father was completely under Muhlke's influence, and appeals against such a division of the pro perty. The two younger sons and Muhlke defend the ease. The New fork Commercial publishes the follow ing as occurring at General Butler's reception in Wash ington :—" General Butler joined in a conversation held near him on a harmonioussubjbroectungohttetaoacintliyud bythe removal m i t h th e festive occasion, but of the body of Mrs. Surratt. She was an innocent woman,' the General said, unhesitatingly. In reply to a remar k made by a gentleman that her case showed the truth of the saying, Military commissions are organised to convict,' ho said, 'Yes. I sent persons to military com missions, when I intended them to be convicted ; when. I wished them acquitted, I did it myself.'

THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS. — A. most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and clock makin has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of 25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam Factory, 59 and 60, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint ment to the Prince of Wales , sen ds this pamphlet to any address on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too stoney teceromend ll te the notimet tne.tenchttaer puOsignd
