Mr. DISRAELI moved that an address be presented to her MAJESTY on the birth of a princess, and declared that additional satisfaction was imparted by the knowledge that the Princess of WALES had been restored to health; and Mr. GLADSTONE seconded the motion with great cordiality, and described in eloquent terms the gra tification experienced by all classes of the commu nity in witnessing the happiness of the Royal family, and the increased security of that dynasty being preserved under which this country has flou rished and its liberties been preserved. Since her arrival among us the PRINCESS has always been a favourite, and her long and painful illness rendered her still more an object of interest to all, and there can be no doubt that the unanimity of the thus() only presented the general feeling of the nation at large. A message was received from the QUEEN, which declared that Her Majesty bad taken into consideration the important set vicei rendered by Sir ROBERT NAPIER in the conduct of the recent expedition to Abyssinia, and was desirous to confer some signal mark of her favour. The House of Commons is therefore recommended to make provision to secure to Sir ROBERT NAPIER, and to the next surviving heir a pension of £2,000 per annum. To-day the Premier will move that the House take into consi deration in committee her MAJESTY'S most gracious message. It is indeed a source of great satisfac tion that the services rendered by Sir R. NAPIER should have been at once recognised in the proper form. The public will rejoice that such is the case, and the Government have shown their good judg ment in this instance. So brilliant a campaign and so satisfactory an expedition merit indeed a more than ordinary meed of approval, and we are glad that the present case is not similar to some in which so much dilatoriness was displayed in the acknowledgment of their services that the chief part of the complaint was lost and the effect pro duced much lessened. A Ministerial statement was made by the right Lon. gentleman at the head of the Government on the subject of Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill. The view which the committee (ALA the other night brought the bill virtually back to the origin d scheme of the Government, but time presses and it will be difficult to carry out the plan indicated by the committee. The Ministry have, however, con trived to get out of the difficulty with tolerable suc cess, and the policy sketched by Mr. DISRAELI will answer all the desired ends. The common law judges are to appoint a judge from each of the su perior courts to try election petitions. In case of pressure of business from a general elec'tion or otherwise, a fourth jadge may be taken from the Court of Exchequer. In order to expedite business a morning sitting will be held to-day to pass these clauses. Mr. Avrt- TON did not like so summary a proceeding, but Mr. GLADSTONE said that, under the peculiar cir cumstances of the case, they must consent to the proposal of the Government and lose no time. It is a matter of congratulation that the affair should have been so well disposed of, and we feel no doubt that the Government will proceed to-day in the same determined spirit as was evinced by the leader of the House yesterday. If so the Corrupt Prac tices Bill will be speedily got through, an I much to to the credit of Parliament. It his been of late so much the fashion to declare off every measure before the House that it cannot pass any par.ticular one that survives the struggle is in some respects a marvel. The House as a body must, we should think, be glad of an opportunity of putting some check upon bribery, and to-day they will have the opportunity presented to them of testifying their sincerity. Amid so many hints and inuendoes, not of the most polite kind, and occasionally not dis tinguished for truthfulness, here is a case in point that the Government has done something and per sisted in carrying its point in spite of a good deal of opposition, and some obstacles of; a serious character to encounter. The Lords' amendments to the Scotch Reform Bill were agreed to, with one exception. The Army Estimates were taken into consideration, and the Reorganisation scheme was discussed. The Mar quis of Hartington very truly said that too much was made about it. If the Controllers-in-Chief were made of so much consequence as some wished, what would be the use of a Secretary of State? Further on in the evening, however, the noble lord made an attack on the military expenditure sys tem, and provoked some spirited replies from Gen. NIEL and SirJ. PAKINGTON. The latter declared that the Major would find it impossible to prove the charge of expenditure which he had made to his constituents. Major ANsoN was unsuccessful iu his attemp to reduce the sum requird for new ma chinery, and the whole of the estimates were voted except that of rating allowances, which was put off to a future occasion. The House adjourned at ten o'clock, having got through a great of business and forwarded several important matters. More is done in a day nom than in a month at the earlier part of the session. The representation of Liverpool in the new Par liament is undoubtedly a matter of some importance to all parties. From its large and constantly in creasing population, its position as the second city in the kingdom, its constant, communication with other ports, and its wealth and intelligence, Liver pool occupiee a very high place among the eo:n mercial cities of the world. Lancashire its:ll is always a great stronghold of political opinion.

We may expect to see a good many changes wrought in the course of the coming elections, and those not only among the partially disfranchised boroughs, but in the large towns. Liverpool is to boast of an additional member, a gratifying testimony to its incrasing importance, .hut the pleasure felt in this token of growing con s equence is marred in the eyes of some by the ac ct ptance of Mr. MILL'S favourite doctrine of the representation of minorities. Those who have hitherto found themselves in the majority are natu rally not very well pleased at this alteration, which they think likely to weaken their influence, but to others the change is proportionately welcome. The Conservatives of the borough have, we learn, deter mined to bring forward Lord SANDON as a colleague of Mr. GRAVES, on the retirement of Mr. lIORSFALL, and on IVe lnesday evening a public meeting was held at the Royal Amphitheatre, which was largely attended. Mr. GRAVES, M.P., addressed the meet ing at some length, and referred pram! arly to the changes wrought by the Refor:n Bill. Speaking of the minority clause, he confessed that he hal changed his opinion on the point. So far as mere party votes were concerned, he admitted that the majority lost one, but there were material circumstances connected with it which outweighed the drawbacks. "It has opened. up an uninterrupted channel of confidential communication between half a million of people and the Government of the day. Whatever that Go vernment may be there are your confidential chan nels of com nunication open to you. Three years ago he looked upon the subject differently, but his recent Parliamentary experience had convinced him that the minority clause has Bread advantages. With regard to the retrospect of the session, Mr. GRAVES'S sentiments are well known. He expressed them pretty plainly in the House of Commons in the midst of one of those personal recriminations which have wasted so much valuable time this ses sion. " Our time," said Mr. GRAVES on Wednes day, " has been wasted. Most important measures have been thrown aside. Oar Education Bill, our Bankruptcy Bill, our Merchant Shipping Bill, laws for the amelioration of the poor, and many other measures that I could name, have been thrown aside, and I may say that our session has been frit tered away." The electors of Liverpool are most of them strongly interested in these measures, and therefore Mr. GRAVES was certain to obtain the unanimous support of his audience to his con demnation of the profitless session. Tne chief event of the evening, however, was the introduction of Lord SANDON to the Liverpool electors as the new candidate for their suffrages, so far as we can judge from a speech which, if not exactly a hustings' speech, was one addressed to the constituents whose votes he desired. Lord SAN DON'S policy is honest, straightforward, and en lightened. He is no novice in Parliamentary life, having sat for Lichfield ten years ago ; and it is a sufficient proof that he is no bigoted Tory, that he gave an unqualified support to Lord PALMERSTON throughout the Crimean war and the China diffi culty. Lord SANDON claims for himself the charac ter of an independent politician, and the last vote which he gave in Parliament was for Lord DERBY'S Reform Bill. A reformer indeed Lord SAN DON may fairly claim to be. The great strides which have been made of late years, and the influences exerted by the great moving impulses of modern times have rendered it, he thinks, inevitable that all old institutions should be overhauled and testes. The institutions themselves he believes to be sub stantially sound and true, though he is not averse to changes and modifications in matters of detail. " I do not know," he observed, " what you new elec tors feel ; but I, as a possibly new member of Parlia ment, th:.lz that whit the country requires now is not the eternal squabbling as to who ale r; d hb to the year 1837 and in the year 1865, as to whether one Minister were perfectly straightforward in his course of conduct, and as to whether the other exactly quoted his words aright, but what I think the country wants is to turn our gaze steadily to the future." Ilis speech throughout was characterised by good sense and enlightenment, and, should for .tune favour him, he will no doubt prove a worthy representative for Liverpool. BANK OF FRANCE.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS► FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, July 9. The approaching annual migration of royal personages as most probably given rise to the rumour of an interview etween the sovereigns of France, Prussia, and Russia. 'he Court of St. Petersburg will soon arrive at Kissen en, and the King of Prus . sia will go to Ems towards the nd of the month. This proximity is the only foundatio4 or such a statement. The Russian journals have, as .ave already mentioned, materially modified thehl ostile sentiments towards France ; but, unfor 7 unately for the advocates of a new triple Mance, Prussia has become the object of these pen-and: nk attacks. The extravagance of the reports now circu: ated merely proves the want of foundation to rest a easonable canard upon. The latest absurdity—and it has .btainecl a surprising amount of credence —is that the pro ect of an expedition to the Two Sicilica, to re-establish he sovereignty of Francis 11., has been seriously dis .ussed in the Imperial Cabinet. For the present, at all events, the Government finds mite sufficient employment in getting the Budget through . he Corps lAgislatif. No financial scheme during the •xistence of the Empire has caused so much trouble. The lebate must surely have worked conversion among the leputies of the Right. All Marshal Niel's demands foi soldiers, including the contingent of 100,000 for 1869, were toted almost in their integrity ; but the estimates for the expense of these troops are attacked with unexampled vehemence. The inconsistency of voting soldiers and refusing the money to pay for them is got over by recom nending Marshal Niel to send more men on furlough. The seal reason, I believe, is that the most devoted partisans )f the best of empires have become seriously alarmed at he state of the finances. On Tuesday the supplementary ;rant to the War Office was reduced by a sum of £40,000, ni the motitn, not of the Opposition, but of a member of he Budget Commission. Marshal Niel became absolutely (fleeting in his entreaties, but the motion was carried without a division ; and the Minister had only a hair )readth escape from another amendment reducing the Lumber of horses in barracks by 3,000. The excitement of lie past week has quite passed away. The debates are now ,ondueted in a tone of studied calmness and moderation, which augurs well for the future. Encore les incendies. The prevalence of great fires on ;he Continent has extended to Russia. On Tuesday, I 'ear, half the city of Ostachkow was destroyed. The fire tommenced at the public baths, and spread over the finest ?art of the city "in an hour." The destruction at Asnan ,vas greater than at first announced. The number of mildings of different kinds burnt down was not under 250, Lnd 300 persons were left without shelter. The Univers has just published a note which, it says, was :ent on the 24th of January by General Menabrea to the chevalier Nigra. It relates to the mocha vivendi which night be possible between Italy and Rome. Generat Venabrea states that Italy would re-establish in full vigour ;he September Convention, and would pay the debt of the wovinces now attached to the Italian Crown. The Roman territory must be evacuated by the French nas short a time as possible. The French Govern nent must undertake to employ its influence to )btain the Pope's consent to a customs treaty between ftaly and Rome, an extradition treaty, the reciprocal abo ition of passports, free passage by railway to Italian troops proceeding from one province to another, mutual ►assistance by the frontier authorities in the pursuit of )rigands, and the delivery of political prisoners belong ng to the Italian kingdom. The Italian journals have lot denied the authenticity of this document. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS. Extreme Sza, Friday, (...,°, F. 1 1 July 10, B. T. '''' 0- gl 0 W. 112 F.

Barometrical pressure has changed very little since yesterday. .tu s still very uniformly distributed, but is a little higher in the northern ;ban in the southern districts. Temperature has diminished some what on our eastern, and risen on our western coasts. The winds are generally light to moderate from the north-eastward ; but in the. South of France they have some southing in them. The weather is rery flue, except at Shields,where it is raining. The correspondent of the Morning Advertiser relates a very curious story current at Paris, the oddest part of which is that it is said to he true. An illustrious person age, walking in the private park at Fontainbleau, suddenly lighted upon a spring in an unfrequented part. He was surprised to see bubbles on the water, and a lustrous appearance, as though mixed with some oily substance. As the water had a chalybeate or sulphuric look, an aide :le-camp was despatched to the palace for a glass. Both illustrious personage and aide-de-camp tasted, and found that the waters greatly resembled those of Wiesbaden. "A cupful of the newly-discovered liquid was sent to the chemist, who analysed it, and declared its component elements to be identical with those bubbles from the Brunnen which Sir F. Head has incited so many people to taste by his lively and graphic descriptions, and straightway anti luaries drew up learned reports of sulphuric springs at Fontainebleau being well known to the Romans. The antiquary also had his discovery—he found a Roman well and various other remains, and was going to draw up his report when Edie Ochiltree supervened : "I mind the biggin o't ;" and the authenticity of these mineral waters has been compromised in the same manner by the discovery of a leakage in the sewer which conveys the liquid refuse from the castle to the river,—the bubbles were caused by a pipe which had burst." We need hardly add that the bubble itself has burst. The prohibition of the use of Polish prayer-books in the Government of Lithuania, announced by a Warsaw letter, is confirmed. The circular sent by the Governor to the district chiefs of police states that the prayer-books con tain " expressions of hate and fanaticism towards the throne of Russia, and prayers for the preservation of the Kingdom of Poland." The prohibition is being strictly carried out. The troops have even entered the churches during divine service, and taken the pray,2r-books out of the hands of the congregation. During the year 1866 1,404 persons, embracing all ranks of society, were arrested, and none escaped without some punishment. In most countries the lapse of time has the effect of softening the feeling with which Governments regard political offences but Russian severity, since the last insurrection, has increased year by year. The difficulties of determining the future relations between the various States composing the Austria , Empire are being slowly, though very surely, overcome: Between Croatia and Hungary the dispute has been similar to that between the Magyar kingdom and Austria. The Government at Vienna had no little difficulty in persuad ing the Diet at Agram to send delegates to negotiate at Pesth. The deputies were, however, sent at last, and an arrangement has been made. We have yet to learn the terms which form the basis of this settlement, but the fact itself, and not the details, is the important matter. Of the whole disorganised empire which met with such a reverse at Sadowa, one province only, Bohemia, has not come to amicable terms as a constituent part of the terri tory under the sway of Francis Joseph. The case of Mr. Wilkinson still excites a great deal of comment, and loud demands are made for an explanation of the mistake through which he was convicted. Mr. Ilolt, the solicitor for the defence at the famous trial, writes again on his client's behalf. Ile lays down once again most distinctly that the guilt or innocence of Mr. Wilkinson must be settled by the question whether Messrs. Capper, Escombe, and Lawsonborrowed the money from the Joint-Stock Discount Company or not. At the trial they stated that they did not, and Mr. Wilkinson was convicted. They now, however, admit that they did agree to pay the £4,860 and the in terest thereon, and Mr. Wilkinson has been set free. How (asks Mr. Holt) can Mr. Lawson adhere to both his state ments ? He says that he is ready to repeat his original assertions, while admitting the debt so far as to agree to pay it. 'rho case seems almost inexplicable, and it will be well if the rumour be correct that the matter is about to In ilaysatizatul hYlho Cxut of ClancuLi TURKEY. Constantinople letters and journals of July 1 have reached us. They give long accounts of Prince Napoleon's arrival and proceedings, already known in a general manner by telegram. The fol lowing account, condensed from the Levant Herald, will under the circumstances suffice : —Prince Na poleon arrived from Bucharest, via Varna, on Sa turday morning, and was met at the entrance of the Bosphorus by Raouf Pasha, one of the Imperial aides-de-camp, to welcome him in his Majesty's name. The yacht cast anchor at Ainale-Kavack, and his Highness at once proceeded down to Dolinabatkche, w hit's, the Sultan had come is from Voldi7 to receive his illustrious guest. After the audience, the Prince returned up the Bosphorus and landed at Hunkiar-skelessi-kiosk, at which, about an hour afterwards, his Majesty returned the visit. His Highness, however, slept on board the Jerome Napoleon. . . On Sunday he received several visits, and in the evening was the guest of M. Bouree at a grand dinner, to which the Grand Vizier, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and seve ral other members of the Government_ but none of the diplomatic body except M. Bertinatti—werc invited to meet him. A portion of the Sultan's band was in attendance during the dinner. The Prince wore the Osiname in brilliants, which had been sent to him by the Sultan on Satur day afternoon. Monday was chiefly spent party rode in excursions up and down the Bosphorus. On Tuesday his Hi g hness and a liv e l y from Buyukdere to Belgrade, and breakfasted under the shade of Godfrey de Bouillon's historic oak. On his return in the afternoon he visited Baron Prokesh in Pera, and sebsequently called on Mustapha Fazyl Pasha at Kaudili. The idea of the Prince's opening M. Bourec's lyce3 has, we learn, been aban doned, the convenances standing too visibly in the way of any one but the Sultan himself inaugurating an establishment which professes to be Imperial and Turkish. This (Wednesd a y) evening he will dine Atvwietive ; h the aSultan to-morrowa t Bey 1 ewr will y b , e at the e a guest of the Ita lian small party of Minister. His visit will not, it is aid, extend over Monday." The store journal has the follow ing :—" The anniversary of the Sultan's accession was celebrated on Thursday with the full comple ment of official and pyrotechnic honours. Shortly after noon his Majesty held a rikuab at the Palace, which was attended by all the Ministers a n d prin cipal functionaries, the diplomatic body, and the chiefs of the native Christian and Jewish commu nities. In the evening A'ali Pasha gave the usual banquet at Bebek 4o a hundred and t wen ty native official and diplomatic guests. The dinner was served in the beautiful conservatory of his Highness's yali. The festivity of the evening, however, was clouded by an untoward accident on Joard the French despatch-boat Ajaccio, in the lowering of a boat to land M. Bouree and his first secretary and dragoman. By some mishap, the boat capsized on reaching the water, and the two men in her were thrown out. One only of the poor fellows could be rescued, the other being carried away by the current under the eyes of the Pasha's assembled guests. On shore, the illumina tion of the yali audits fine gardens was as splendidly perfect as on any previous occasion, and on both sides of the strait all the great mansions were simi larly lit up. Below, in the capital, all the public buildings, and many private houses on both sides of the Horn, were also fringed with the usual luminous lines of white and coloured lamps ; whilst afloat, on the Bosphorus, from Balata up to Yenitnahale, the frequent discharges of fire works took place from floating stages from nine p.m. till nearly miduight.—A regrettable con flict occurred on Saturday morning at Routneli hissar, in the Bosphorus, between the captain of the English barque Kirkwood and the master and crew of an Ottoman brig Commanded by a rayah Greek reis, in which the latter, when in the act of attempt ing to stab one of the crew of the barque, was shot down by the master of the latter vessel. Up till yesterday the wounded man was reported to be dead, and at the last moment we are glad to hear that he is still alive. In the meantime, the English skipper has been arrested, and is in the British Consular prison, awaiting trial before the Supreme Court for firing the shot.—Cura"Pearl, the famous Phryne of Paris, arrived by the Varna steamer of Friday, and alighted at_Lapierre's Hotel, Buyuk dere."

General Dulce was O'Donnell's associate in the insurrection of 1854. General Zabula was formerly Minister of War, as also was General Cordova. Besides these there are the Duke de la Torre, better known as General Serrano, and three brigadier-generals. The Times Paris correspondent says there has been a plan existing for some time, and which the demise of Narvaez pushed on to maturity, for the overthrow by force of the Ministry and the deposition of the Queen, though not for the destruction of the monarchy. O'Donnell was the head of this party. Its object was to anticipate the ultra-Liberals, who would begin by proclaiming the republic. It is very probable, however, that an arrangement of some kind may have been made between these two parties to ensure success. The Duke of Mont pensier has been "requested" to leave Spain. It was O'Donnell's wish to place the duchess on Queen Isabella's throne. As the Independence Beige remarks, the situation must be grave indeed when a prince who is a near relative of the sovereign, and who has conducted himself with great forbearance through many turbulent scenes, is ordered to leave the country. "Perfect order" has, of course, again been announced by a Madrid tele gram ; but the Epoque asserts that signs of disaffection are again breaking out in Valentia and Barcelona. THE TWELFTH OF JULY IN IRELAND. The Dublin correspondent of the Times says that the Government have adopted precautionary measures for pre serving the peace during the Orange celebration of the 12th in the North. Seventeen resident magistrates have been sent to Ulster on special duty, andarrangements made for preventing disturbance by strengthening the police force. The precautions are not unnecessary, as the disposition to have counter demonstrations, which may lead to collisions, has shewn itself in some localities. Roman Catholic pro cessions of a formidable character are reported to have occurred recently in the county of Armagh. One of them was held by night with torches consisting of dry fir attached to long poles, and was two miles in length. The processionists occasionally fired shots, as significant hints that they were prepared to resist any attempt to interrupt them. They continued for two days' marching, drumming, and firing shots on the hills at night. These demonstrations were in anticipation of the Orange anniversaries. The 12th, being Sunday, is expected to pass over quietly, but on Monday there will he the usual displays. An example of the obstinate spirit of Orangeism was shewn a few days since in the vicinity of Ballybay, county of Monaghan. An Orange flag having been suspended from the steeple of the church, the rector of the parish, who is also a magistrate, ordered its removal, and threatened to send for the constabulary if it were not taken down. Seeing his resolution, they removed it, but on Sunday last, when he came to officiate in his church, he found that his congregation had deserted him, and that ho had only a sufficient number present to justify him in addressing them as "dearly beloved brethren." DINNER TO MR. LONGFELLOW. On Thursday evening a dinner was given to Professoi Longfellow by Mr. Bierstadt, a distinguished American artist, at the Langham Hotel, Portland-place. The occasion was of a thoroughly international character, and the attendance comprised some of the most distinguishes' men on both sides of the Atlantic. The entertainment itself was a brilliant one, and nothing was wanting to render it a fitting homage to the poet whose works have become household words in England as well as in America. After the dinner, which was intended to be of a private nature, there were loud calls for Mr. Gladstone, and the right hon. gentleman ultimately responded to the urgent demonstrations of the assembly. Mr. GLADSTONE said he felt bound to say something in consequence of the glorious past which the two countries —England and the United States —possessed in common. It became them to break through even the restrictions which the authority of their respected host had imposed upon them, and to give vent to those enthusiastic feelings which one and all entertained on that interesting occasion. It was impossible to sit at the social board with a man of Mr. Longfellow's world-wide fame without offering him some tribute of admiration. Let them, therefore, simply but cordially assure him that they were conscious of the great honour which they did themselves in receiving this great poet amongst them. There was no class of persons less able to do justice to an event of that kind than those whose career destined them to tread the toilsome and dusty road of politics and who were, therefore, too little sensible of the influences which were brought to bear upon mankind in general by the priest of the muses. But at the same time they were nJt so wholly dead to the sentiments which were naturally awakened on an occasion of that kind as not to be glad to render the tribute of hearty admiration to one whom they must regard not only as a poet, but as an American citizen. (Cheers.) They rejoiced to recognise in Mr. Longfellow one of the distin guished brotherhood of letters whom they all delighted to honour, and in whose writings they felt an especial interest whenever any international event occurred to bring together representatives of the literature of England and the United States. The right hon. gentleman concluded by calling upon the company to drink most heartily and cordially to the health, happiness, and fame of Professor Longfellow. (Loud and long•continued cheering.) Mr. LONGFELLOW acknowledged the compliment with great I.revity, begging the company to accept his hearty thanks for the generous welcome which had been accorded to him. The Duke of ARGYLL, in response to a general can, proposed the healths of Admiral Farragut, of the United States navy, and Sir Hope Grant, of the British army. After a brief acknowledgment from those gentlemen. The Rev. Mr. Cox proposed the health of Mr. Bierstadf who in one or two words acknowledged the compliment and the company then dispersed. In the course of the evening Mr. J. L. Hatton and Mr. Chaplin 74enry supplied an appropriate musical entertain:: meat, td the latter gentleman sang Mr. Longfellow's, Village Blacksmith." Mrs. Bierstadt and several other ladies entered the room before the close of the proceedings, and the former received the congratulations of many of the guests. A likeness of the distinguished poet was attached to the bill of fare placed before the company, and a small o' picture, painted by Mr. Bierstadt, was attached to the menu especially prepared for Mr. Longfellow himself, the subject of it being " The Departure of Hiawatha," ah' described in the concluding lines of the poem. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—A few days ago a packer, named Lee, in the employ of the Somerset and Dorset Railway Company, was seated on the embankment of tht line near Edington, .apparently asleep. The driver of at approaching passenger train, having perceived him, blew his whistle, but could not arouse him. The train came on, however, and Lee's head, which was over the rail, was com• pletely severed from the body, which remained undisturbed by the concussion. PROPOSED RAILWAY BETWEEN SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.—The Northern Whig says : " Two gentlemen — L. Livingstone Macassey, C.E., and William Scott, C.E. and Fellow of the Royal Scottish Society of Arts—have just published a report on a proposed railway tunne? between Scotland and Ireland. We cannot pronounce any opinion as to the feasibility of the scheme, thong]) the two authors of this report, after having, as they say, thoroughly investigated the matter, have no doubt as to its practicability. As, however, the possibility of making a tunnel from Dover to Calais has been seriously thought of, it is not altogether unnatural that there should be a proposition to make a railway tunnel to join Scotland' and Ireland, and save squeamish travellers the sickly horrors of even the short sea passage." Tnr, PRINCESS OF WALES.—The happy and healthy course of the accouchement of her Royal High. ness the Princess of Wales is a source of unalloyed satis faction. Her Royal Highness was driving out on Sunday, and at 4.25 a.m. on Monday her new little princess came into the world ; Dr. Arthur Farre and Dr. Sieveking being in attendance. Happily, nothing either in the accouche• ment or the convalescence has occurred to recall the un fortunate illness which marred the recovery of the royal patient on the last occasion. Nor has it in any way in fluenced unfavourably the present event. Everything has pas,;ed cif auspiciously, and the medical record is a pros perous blank. The little princess is a fine healthy and thriving infant. In three days the daily bulletins will, in the regular course, be discontinued--always a good sign. —British llcdical Journal. THREE WOMEN DROWNED.—AII accident of a fatal character occurred about midway between the parishes of Southey and Littleport on Wednesday morn ing about 7.30. A young woman named Edwards was driving her sister and a friend, Nailer, to the Littleport station. After passing a place called Brand-creek about half a mile, the :road runs along the side of the river, the Great Ouse. The stream is much lower than the road, and the declivityis very steep. From some unknown cause the animal, which was blind, went on this declivity, and the pony and cart and the three women were thrown into the river ; the Women were all drowned.
