FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

The Correspondencia of Madrid states that the
Infant Don Enrique and his son were nearly suffooated
on the 7th by emanations from calor(ftere.
The Government of Baden appears decided to set
the example of suppressing.ths gaming-houses. The
present minister at the Gerunin Diet is one of the moat
ardent promoters of that measure. It appears that
the existing agreement is in force until the year 1870,
but that from 1868 both parties hwe the right to
annul it.

Although the State of Virginia has effected the pay-
ment of her dividends due in London on the Ist instant,
the state of Tennessee has not been equally sneoessful.
Her dividends fell due here on the 6th instant, and the

The new Archbishop of Warsaw, Mgr. Felinshi, is
only 38 years of age. He was presented to the Holy See
by the Court of St. Petersburg, and the Pope made no
objection to the choice, but, on the contrary, he was
well pleased with it, as all the information received as
to the capacity, seal, and opinions of Mgr. Felinski was
most favourable.

btition in the waters of Capron. They have been pro-

DEATH OP A ONNTINAREEN BANEEZ.—The Marseille
journals mention the death in that city of M. Detsainte
at the age of 100. The deceased was born in the reign
of Louie XV. and had been for many years at the head
of • large banking house.
TB/ SELGLLN MciarsTa.—A good story is told of one
of our Illinois colonels, who was heard praising the
arm. Says he, "In platoon firing with the Belgian
musket I can tell what I cannot with any other arm,
and that is, how many pieces have been fired." "How
can you tell that?" "Oh, 1 count the men on the
ground; it never receives me. It is fire and fall back
flat." One of these Belgian muskets will kick like a
mule and burst with the greatest facility. Several
soldiers in our Illinois regimenta have been killed in
this way. The bayonet, too, is • novelty—a isoft iron
affair, apparently designd Ito, Coil around the enemy as

THE GALLOWS AT LAST.—The Australian papers
reeord the trial and condemnation of Robert Thomas
Patin, for having barglariously entered the dwelling.
house of Samuel !larding, of Fremantle, and committed
an assault by fore. of arum. Ihe offence was clearly
proved. The prisoner threatened Mrs. Harding that
he would blow her brains out if she made any noise, and
the property carried off was found in his house. After
the judge had passed sentence of death in a. most im-
pressive manner, prisoner said be was not tile first man
who had been condemned to death while innocent, and
that he could die but ones. The dread sentenee was
carried late offset a few days after. It may be remem-
bered that, Palin was tried at the Maidstone spring
assizes In 1864 for the murder of a woman at Cudham
in the autumn of the previous Tear. He was acquitted
on that charge, but was apprehended immediately after
the trial by Inspector Baiter, of the Metropolitan
Police, on • charge of burglary comaiitied near Bristol,
and on being tried at the ensuing assizes at Gloucester
' he was transported for life. —lifairlsearie Jourual.
A BRIG TAKIT PRISONIR AT CHIERBOURG.—A letter
front Cherbourg of the 7th says :—" A Ministerial order
arrived last night from Paris, directing the authorities
to take possession of the brig Emmanuel &Holly, Capt.
Talgouia, last (rem London. and bound to La Conception
(river of Uruguay.) The brig entered the port on the
2nd, and the captain, who is a Frenchman, had no
papers to show. The crew, consisting of ten men—
English, Spaniards, and men of colour—and nine
passengers, all men of most resolute appearance, are not
allowed to leave the ship. It wonld be useless to
repeat all the stories in circulation about this veael,
but the most probable explanation of the matter is that
she is laden with munitions and contraband of war."
