THE DI

time living with a woman not his wife, he wished to
regularize his position by marrying her ; and, as it was
intportant to have the marriage performed at once with-
out publicity he solicited a license. The bishop granted
the license, and, on the man's declaration, put in it the
woman's name as Correa. The Italian then went to
the boarding-school, and said that he was sent by the
girl's mother to take her home, as she wished to in-
dulge her with a visit to the theatre. The school-
mistress imprudently gave up the child to him, and lie
took her at once to the church mentioned in the license
and had himself married to her. The next day he
wrote to the girl's mother to inform her of the marriage.
The poor mother, in indignation, immediately commu-
nicated with the police, And they at once took the girl
from the man and gave her up to her mother. The
Italian and some persons who acted as witnesses of the
marriage have been arrested. It is considered strange
that the priest, notwithstanding the license, should have
celebrated the marriage, as the girl was dressed in a
short frock and trousers like a child. The affair has
created an immense sensation at Rio, but what the
upshot of it will be remains to be seen."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

--
SlR,—The remarks in your "City article" of to.
day and yesterday on the subject of wines from the
Cape of Good Hope are calculated to create no small
degree of alarm both here and in the colony; but, if the
time has arrived that the Chanoellor of the Exchequer
considers it necessary to tax British soil, labour, and
enterprise to the same extent as foreign, we for one
shall not complain of • measure calculated to bring
about universal free trade, although it might affect the
interests of ourselves and others for a time only,
But we are bound to set your correspondent and readers
right as regards these wines, which are not used for
adulteration save by those whose easy consciences would
dictate • cheaper substitute, but are now daily adver-
tised in your columns by ourselves and seven other in-
fluential houses, and sold upon their own merits only.
' Dr. Letheby has made a most favourable analysis of
our Cape wines, and states that they are "pure and
unadulterated, and contain the average amounts of the
various constituents of good, wholesome wines."
The increase in the consumption of these wines can
very easily be accounted for when we tell you that our
sale alone for these wines during the past year was about
30,000 gallons, and we are in a condition to prove, on
the testimony of thousands of the aristociacy, gentrl,
and clergy, that the Cape wines have arrived at a degree
of goodness suitable for use in this country, and deci-
dedly superior to any of the second qualities of Portugal
and Spain, many of which are not only unpalateable,
but decidedly injurious. _

PIANOFORTES, in mahogany, zebra, and rosewood, at

of the Musical profession, having carefully examined the
Royal Pianofortes manufactured by Messrs D'Almaine

We have oonsiderable heaviness to report in the

CAMPBELL AND OUTRAM.—An unpleasant story has
obtained currency in Oude Mays the Spectator) respect-
ing Sir Colin Campbell's treatment of General Outram.
When the public despatches of Sir Colin, describing his
entry into Lucknow, came back to Cawnpore, those '
who had been present in the Oude capital at the time I
of the relief were struck with the remarkable omissions
in the account given by the Commander-in-Chief. It
certainly would not be supposed, from reading that
despatzh, that Outram had sent to Sir Colin Campbell,
at Alumbagh, plans of the city and its approaches ; that
he had carefully described to the Commander-in-Chief
the very point in which he was most likely to meet with
opposition ; that he had submitted an entire plan of
operations ; that he had erected a semaphore on the top
of the Residency, in order to exchange messages with
the leader of the relieving force ; that he had drawn up
and furnished to Sir Cohn a code of signals ; that he
had promised to make a diversion in order to assist the
assault : or that Sir Colin not only received General
Outram's plan and scheme of operations, but telegraphed
that he would adopt the scheme, and did adopt it. It
would not be supposed that Outratu made a diversion
in Sir Colin's favour, which many even blamed as rash
—blowing up mines, making sortes, storming positions,
shelling and bombarding the place in which the enemy
were in force. Yet all this, we are told is true ; and it
is assumed that the truth will come out, though too late
to do present justice to Outram.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE BRITISH MCSEUX.—Prince
George of Saxony, accompanied by the Saxon minister,
Colonel Poneonby, and three gentlemen of his house-
hold, visited the British Museum, on Thursday afternoon,
and was shown over the whole building by the chief
librarian, Mr. Paniriti. The Prince seemed particularly
struck by the extensive library of printed books and
manuscripts, and by the grand dimensions and extreme
beauty of the reading-room. He also spent some time
in the apartments devoted to prints and drawings, in the
suite of rooms appropriated to Natural History, and in
the hall of the massive Egyptian antiquities, Greek and
Roman marbles, and Lycian antiquities.

AUSTRIA.

It in whispered in the diplomatic world, says the
Tintes'correspondent that the publication of parts of the
correspondence, of Napoleon I. in the Moniteur hasgiven
such great offence to His Majesty the Emperor Francis
Joseph, that he has ordered his Minister for Foreign
Aff.tirs to desire Baron Hubner to ask Count Walewski
. -

for an In my opinion there is a storm
brewing between France and Austria, which will, sooner
or later, burst in Italy. As the correctness of some
statements relative to the state of affairs in France has
been disputed by the official and semi-official organs of
the French Government, it may be as well to communi-
cate two facts which have, within the last few hours,
come to my knowledge. A gentleman who is now in
this city wrote to his son in Paris, and upbraided him
fur his " idleness and negligence" in not giving him
detailed accounts of the sayings and doings of the
inhabitants of the French metropolis. The sense of the

reply was, that as the on knewrhow dear he was to
his father, he wonl.d. not run the risk of getting. intos!
. .

French prison, which he should be pretty sornto do if
he were to give the true and particular account required
of him. "The world," says the light hearted youth,
" has hitherto given me credit for being a tolerably
sharp fellow, and I will prove that it has done me no
inure than justice by refraining from giving the informa-
tion required. Benides, I wish my letters to reach you
regularly, which would hardly be the case if they con-
tained unfavourable political views." A Parisian, who
who is well known by name, if not personally, has
lately informed a near relative in this city that there is
such stagnation in trade and commerce that the first
wholesale and retail house in France have 'little or
nothing" to do. In the evening of the 25th there was
a silly report in this city, which has been repeated,
with a slight variation, as a positive fact. On the 25th
the rumour was that the Emperor of the French had
been shot, but next day the Viennese were " sure '
that lie had been stabbed to the heart. It is not known'
how the roport originated, but it might perhaps, with-
out great difficulty, be traced to some unprincipled
speculator ala baisse. Two or three days ago the
French Minister at Dresden informed the Government
that no subject of the King of Saxony who intended to
travel to France could obtain the necessary visa unless
he went in person to the French Embassy at Dresden,
or to the French Consulate at Leipsic. The French
Government is not likely to enforce its new passport
regulations in Switzerland with quite as much strictness
as was at first proposed, for Dr. Kern has informed the
Berne Government that the French agents have been
empowered to give their visa if the owner of the pans-
port does not appear in person, "if he is a native of the
country, and his passport be forwarded and recommended
by the Government of his canton."

RINOWOOD.—Fat Cattle Market.—The second of
these raarketa was held on Wednesday laat, and was
well supplied. Nearly 100 prime beasts were on
offer, but the prices realised were lower than those
of the last market, and beasts moved off slowly at
from 9s. 6d. to 10e. 6d. per soon. There was an
excellent supply of fat sheep and lambs The dull
sales in the metropolitan market of Monday greatly
affected the sale of sheep, and the supply moved off
slowly at from 6d. to Thel. per lb. There were about
323 pigs in the market, but owing to the heavy rein
which fell during the whole of the morning, few
buyers attended the market, and sales were dull.
The corn trade was also quiet. Wheat met a slow
sale at Monday's quotations, which were from 2.e. to
3s. lower than offered on last Wednesday. Barley
was 6d. per qr. cheaper. Oats and beans firm.
Many persons who at first doubted whether the
supply of this neighbourhood would be sufficient for
this market, are now quite settled on this point, and
the senorita opinion is that the town is well situated
for both buyers and sellers.

A TERRIBLE DISASTER.—Four children were put to
Bleep in a barn near Raphoe. Ireland, to guard some
corn. During the night, the parents were roused by the
cries of the children, and the place was discovered to be
on fire. The barn-door was burst open, and one of the
children rushed out, so dreadfully burnt that she died
nextday •' while as for the other three, they were con-
sumed to ashes. Nearly the whole of the poor man's
property was destroyed._

applause and hisses, and the proceedings were generally
uproarious. Mr. Lefroy and Dr. Gayer addressed the

LORD POSSE'S ALLEGED PREDICTION OF EICESELVE
HEAT—For some months past idle rumours have pre-
vailed to the effect that the Earl of Roue has declared
it as his belief that the approaching summer would be
one of the hottest seasons ever witnessed in Ireland.
Upon this absurd report another was founded, that the
noble earl had erected houses for the shelter of his cattle
from the expected tropical heat of the summer; and
that many gentlemen relying upon the distinguished re-
putation of Lord Bosse as an astronomer, had followed
his example in preparing accommodation to stall-feed
their stock during the hot season. It is a lamentable evi-
dence of credulity, even among educated people, that
all those ridiculous tales were believed by many. But
they are now completely disposed of in the following
communication which we have received this morning
from Lord Bosse :—" The Castle, Parsonstown, March

25. Lord Rogge presents his compliments to the Editor
of the Erraing Poe, and, having observed a quotation
from the Limerick Reporter in which his name is asso-
ciated with some conjecture auto the approaching season,

on the subject!'

DENMARK.

The Danish Government has sent reply to the
Frankfort Diet relative to the affair of the Duchies.
The Danish Government proposes to submit to the
States of Holstein the first six Articles of the Holstein
Constitution, upon which they had not hitherto been
called to vote. It moreover engages itself not to present
any bills to the Supreme Council which it was the inten-
tion forinerly to submit to the States, and not to increase
the extra tax on the Duchies for two years. To settle
the differences which exist respecting the general Con-
stitution, the Copenhagen Cabinet proposes that the
question shall be discussed by two delegates, one repre-
senting Denmark, the other the German Diet, to meet
at Fr.aikfort as soon as the States of Holstein shall
have expressed their opinion on the subject. The
Danish reply has been sent to the Commission, which
will report upon it in a fortnight. Meantime the repre-
sentatives of the different States in the Diet will ask
instructions from their respective Governments. The
Frankfort Journal considers the Danish proposals
likely to serve as a starting point for a solution of the
pending difficulties.

With regard to the gold-Bolds, the recent stoppage in
those branches of industry which depend upon the cup-

ing population that attention had beoome fairly aroused

venience and loss from drought. An aqueduct from the
Coliban to the centre of the forest Creek has been pro-
jected, the country surveyed, and the practicability of
the undertaking ascertained. The inhabitants of Ben-
digo are turning their eyes towards the extent of
mountainous country which surrounds that diatrict with
the like object.
