The Epoca, of Madrid, remarks that scarcely has the excitement created in the provinces' by the late elections to the Cortes subsided, when it is again to be evoked. Eight deputies are to be elected for the provinces of Barcelona, Gerona, Zaragoza, Lugo, Orenso, and Segovia. In Gerona there are three vacancies, in each of the others one. In two of these provinces the Epoca thinks the voting will not be accomplished without some danger to public order, as in Lugo there is much excitement, and the decree published in the Gazette of that day would put in motion large masses of the population. The elections are to com mence on the 3rd of March, and last during the three fol lowing days. The second scrutiny will take place on the 9th and the third on the 17th of the same month.

The Bohemia, a journal of Prague, states that the Bava rian Government has endeavoured to obtain the confiden tial opinion of the Austrian Cabinet on the German question. The CaLinet of Vienna replied that Austria's chief interest was that the general peace shoul I not be threatened, and that en other matters she had strictly reserved her opinion, and into nded to preserve the same attitude. According to another account, Herr von Werther has been commissioned by Count Bismarck to " converse " with M.Daru on the general state of affairs in Germany. M. Daru said that France "reckoned upon the strict execution of the Treaty of Prague." Respecting Bavaria there is some anxiety. The Liberte of Paris says that on the attitude assumed by the people, should the King dissolve the Chambers, much will depend. Wtir temberg only awaits the fall of the Hohenlohe Ministry to overthrow the Warnbuther Ministry, which is devoted to Bismarck, and the Grand Duchy of Baden, which is weary of Prussian pressure, is ready to insist upon its Government assuming a more dignified and national course. The internal policies of Germany deserve to be carefully studied at this moment. AUSTRIA.. The North-East Correspondence has communicated some despatches from Vienna, which state that the Emperor had a conversation with Herr Mende, and requested him to assist the Ministry. He coincided with a remark of Herr Meude's, to the effect that the Govern ment ought to maintain a good understanding with all the nationalities. The project of elec toral reform relating to the direct elections will not be presented to the Reichsrath, but in all probability this question will be discussed during the course of the debate on the Gallician resolution. At any rate a proposal for direct elections cannot be made before the end of the ses sion, for the Budget and the Callician resolution engross all the attention of the Chamber. THE FUNERAL OF THE GRAND DUKE OF TUSCANY. Our Roman correspondent, writing onFebruary 4th, says that the funeral of the Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany was one of the most magnificent spectacles ever witnessed in Rome. In spite of the remonstrances of some of the more timid of his councillors, the predilection of the Pope prevailed over the possible imprudence of a demon stration in favour of the exiled dynasty, and orders were given on Sunday night for sovereign honours to be rendered to the remains, with all the pomp and circumstance of the Pontifical Court. The Archduke Charles arrived early on Monday morning, in time to share the office of chief mourner with the King of Naples, the Duke of Parma, and the Count of Trapani. On Mon day evening the whole garrison of Rome formed in proces sion, bearing torches which, by this grouping in masses, produced a wonderfully grand effect of light and shade . The generals of brigade, and the ministers of arms on horseback, followed the catafalque, which was placed on a mortuary car, and surrounded by the gentlemen of the guard and household, bearing torches and bareheaded. Then came the carriages of the ambassadors, the cardinals, the Tuscan bishops, and the Royal Families of Naples and Parma, and of the Pontifical household, the Senate and the Roman princes. The procession was two hours passing down the Corso, and down the Piazza de Venezia, and one of the most immense crowds ever seen in Rome was in the street to witness its passage. The Pope went next morning to the Requiem Mass, which was celebrated by Cardinal Schwartzenborg, Arch bishop of Prague. The Grand Duchess assisted in the closed tribune over the altar, and the Pope gave the last absolution and aspersion of holy water to the catafalque. "He was a King de jure, though despoiled, as we ourselves are," said the Pope, "and he shall be buried as a king, on the sole territory we can give him due honours in." This was said in answer to one of the Corps Diplomatique, who suggested that such a proceeding might give offence in Paris and Florence. RUSSIA kND TUE EAST. The Iretv Free Tress publishes telegrams from St. Petersburg stating that the Chinese Ambassador has ar rived in th tt city, with the object of negotiating a com mercial treaty between Russia and China. It is rtmoured that he is also to arrange the conditions for a fresh cession of territory to Russia. An expedition is being organised which is shortly to leave for Mongolia and Mantchour:a, with the intention of making ethnological researcho3. THE MEXICAN PRESIDENT AND THE SHIP CANAL. Before Mr. Seward's departure from Mexico, a grand banquet was given in his honour. Senor Ve:asquez, the President of Congress for the month, madean enthuqast!c speech, to which Mr. Seward replied. He said that the Unit,: d States had a distinctly marked policy in regard to Mexico, shewn in maintaining the independence of the sister Republic, and the construction of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien. Mr. Seward complained of the hesi tation of the Columbian Congress, and called upon the President to obtain a resolution of the Mexican Congress, recommending the ratification of the Treaty which has already been negotiated between the two Governments. Senor Velasquez replied that he could not answer for the Mexican Congress as a body, but he would cheerfully pledge his personal support of such a measure. President Juarez then rose, and in a brief speech expressed his approval of the scheme, which he called the great work of Republican America and of modern civilisation. He would himself give it all the support and assistance in his power, and he trusted Mr. Seward, as well as himself, would live to see it accomplished. Thereupon all the guests at the table, many of whom were members of the Mexican Congress, stood up, and made the ha2l ring with cheers for the Darien ship canal. FIJI ISLANDS. The United States ship Jamestown, on arriving at San Francisco, brought news that English settlers are arriving at the Fiji Islands in large numbers from Australia and New Zealand to engage in the raising of Sea Island cotton, which is said to yield good returns, owing to the highly productive soil of the islands. The islanders have signed a petition requesting the United States Government to assume the protectorate over the entire group of islands, which are 154 in number. The petitionhas been forwarded to Washington. Great Britain had previously refused to add Fiji to her colonial possessions. There are about fifty American residents on the island. THE OFFICIAL CHANGES. —In addition to tho numer ous retirements which have of late taken place at th e Admiralty, we have now to add the contemplated resignation of Mr. Richards, the Controller of the Victualling Department. Mr. Richards has held the ap- Pointment since the death of Sir Thomas Grant.

Information, investigation, and recovery of claims, estates, and legacies in any part of the United States, promptly, and on reasonable terms.—Robert Palethorp, Attorney and Counsellor-at-Law. As this year is the centennial of the first cele bration of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, and the 250th anniversary of that occurrence, the Congrega tionalist proposes to make it a jubilee year, and to have two general assemblies, one at Chicago and another at Plymouth, and to celebrate with appropriate ceremonies the special memorable days of the year. The principal of these are—May 21, the 261st anniversary of the beginning of John Robinson's church at Leyden; July 21, the 250th anniversary of the departure from Leyden ; September 16-18, the 250th anniversary of the departure of the Pil grims from England for America; December 21, the land at ing at Plymouth. A nation al convention is proposed Chicago, July 21, and at Plymouth, December 21. We regret to learn from Rome of the death of Mr. Cohn, from injuries received while exercising a horse on the Comps.gna. His hunter caught his hind leg on the top rail of a fence and rolled over on his rider, who died from the effects of the fall. The deceased American gen tleman leaves his wife and two children, and the accident has caused much grief to the American community a Rome. Speiking of the emigration of the coloured man further South, a Virginia paper says that the loss of these hundreds of thousands of able-bodied, skilled labourers is beginning to be felt very seriousl y and is exciting the profound apprehensions of thinking men in that State.
