ingly remarks, " will make them look equally rich and de-
pot.' The importear of this innovation—for the Senate
oaly wee entitled to the more precious metal—will doubt-
kr be duly appreciated by the constituency.

LATEST INTRLLIGENOIL

WIZ lONIAN ISLANDS.
A letter from Corfu of the 30th nit., in the Scharf
Correspondence of Vienna, has the following :

The inhabitants of the lonian Islands, end especially of
Corfu, do not feel se much inclined to be linked to the
kingdom of Greece as you may be induced by the news-
papers to believe. It would be rather an unwise thing to
change • strong, rich, sad liberal government like the
English one for a poor and fickle power like Greece,
tossed about upon the wane of European politica
At any rate the lonians would be the losers by the trans-
formation. Yesterday " the liberal party " distributed a
pamphlet, stating that the English cabinet, in an official
communication to the Greek provisional government, bad
declared itself ready to cede the lonian Islands to Greece.
That intelligence produced great enthusiasm among the
' opposition party at Corfu, while the rest of the popula-
tion seemed thunderstruck. The English fleet and gar-
rison leaving, the proprietors of houses, all officials,
many merchants and retailers, and a grist part of the
lower clams, would sustain a heavy Ices. The garrison
speeds here 80,0001. a year. Every line-of-battle ship
has 800 or 900 sakes on board, who go ashore twice
a mouth; each sailor or marine leaves the ship
with 11., and returns without one single penny.
According to the blue-book the garrison of the lonian
Islands costa 12,000/. monthly, that is, 144,0001. annually.
About 40,0001. are paid to half-pay civil offices, and 60,0004
for the fortifications of Corfu annually. Add to this the
income of the Lord Chief Commissioner and of the English
officials as well as the maintenance of the fleet's crew, and
the annual expenses made for the islands amount to more
than half a million of pounds. The islands are not paying
to the English in • financial point of view. After all, this
proposed cession is but a move of the diplomatic chess-
player, Lord Palmerston, to bring the lonian opposition to
moderation, and, on the other hand, to check the anarchical
movements in Greece by promises of annexation. The
annexation, however, will be hard work, as the Greeks
rather aim at some parts of European Turkey than the
lonian Islands.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MK 0011 OWE

PLRII3, WZDNZBDAT &sum

M. Paul Merman, the secretary-general of the
Suez Canal Company, publishes a long letter in the
Constitutionnet, giving an account of an excursion
to inspect the works of the canal, in which he
accompanied M. de Lumps and Sir Henry Bulwer,
the English ambassador at Constantinople. The
letter contains some picturesque sketches of
scenery on the banks of the Nile, which may be
consulted with advantage by compilers of guide-
books. It also describes certain stupendous dig-
gings in a manner to show strikingly that the fel-
labs in Kde Leseeps' pay have not been idle.
But there is not a line in the letter to add to the
evidence already before the public as to the prac-
ticability or non-practicability of the proposed
maritime junction of the Mediterranean with the
Red Sea. At the conclusion of his letter he sud-
denly betrays a consciousness that the main thing
which the public would look for is not in it. " You
will ask me," he says, " what was Sir Henry Bul-
wer's opinion at the end of his journey r K P.
Merman, it appears, knows what this opinion is,
but requires time before he can repeat it in a
satisfactory shape. "The answer" (to the question
which he anticipates) "requires some explanations
which I will send you in a separate correspondence,
the accuracy of which I warrant beforehand." I
should hope that Sir Henry Bulwer will find means
to make his opinion known without the encum-
brance of these "explanations," which so suspi-
ciously bang fire.
All the French cardinals, with the exception of
the Cardinal Archbishop of Chambery, have arrived
in Paris, to be present at the funeral of the Arch-
bishop of Paris to-morrow. Several bishops are
also here for the same purpose. The funeral
service will be performed by Cardinal Mathieu,
Archbishop of Besancon. All the ministers and depu-
tations from the Senate, Corps Legialatif, and Council
of State, besides a great host of civil and military
functionaries, will crowd Notre Dame to-morrow.
The cathedral is already hung with black, and has
been visited by vast numbers of people desirous to
see the preparations. Cardinal Morlot made Mgr.
Darboy,Bishop of Nancy,his executor and residuary
legatee, but it is said there is no property to
administer, the late archbishop having spent all
his surplus income in works of charity.
The Nation announces with much fracas that M.
de Persigny, by a stroke of his pen, has conferred
an immense boon upon authors. He has "de-
cided," we are told, that for the future publishers
ahall not be allowed to strike off as many copies of
a work as they like by means of the stereotype,
but that every fresh impression shall be counted as
a new edition. Being much surprised to find it
stated that a minister had power, even for the
most praiseworthy purposes, to alter the law
regulating contracts between authors and pub-
I Mame, I have read through a circular
of M. de Persigny, to which the Nation
alludes, and I find that so far from having
I
I "decided" anything about the law of stereotyped
editions, he merely " reminds " the prefects of
the decisions of courts of justice, and recommends
them in regard to this and various other cases, to
keep a strict watch upon printers, in order that
they may be fined or otherwise punished for any
I breach of the numerous regulations to which they
are subjected, not for the benefit of the public,
but out of the jealousy of the government of all
printed matter.
AL Lambert, the adventurous Frenchman, whose
name has been now and then before the public as
the diplomatic representative, not of France in
Madagascar, but of Madagascar in France, has
just turned up in Paris with the title of Duke
D'Emyrne, which, it seems, has been conferred
upon him by King Radama IL
At Mulhouse a regularly qualified medical prac-
titioner has been fined 500 fr. for supplying the
drugs which he prescribed to a patient. His de-
fence was that in the village in which he lived the
only chemist and druggist habitually neglected his
shop to attend to his farm, and that he (the phy-
sician) had reasonable ground to doubt whether
his prescriptions would be properly made up. The
court, however, held that the laws of France give
a positive monopoly for the sale of drugs to chemists
and druggists (pharmaciens). This is a very irra-
tional state of the law, and a great perversion of any
sound doctrine of the division of labour. It is most
right that the public should be protected from being
poisoned or injured by ignorant vendors of medi-
cines, but nothing can be more absurd than a law
which prevents the learned and responsible physician
from administering to a sick man with his own hand
the remedies which he thinks best adapted to cure
him " Omne quad majus in se continet minus"
is a maxim contradicted by this example of French
jurisprudence. If in England a " physician " does
not make up his own prescriptions, it is for his•
own convenience, because he bas not time, or from
professional etiquette thinks himself above such
work. But "general practitioners," as apothecaries
are now called, do, or at all events may, supply the
medicines which they order, and that in many
cases to the great advantage of the public. In
France there is no such person as an apothecary.
Every man entitled to prescribe fur the sick is a
physician (medicin), and it is now ruled that a phy-
sician is bound to leave his patient, so far as con-
cerns the due supply and admixture of drugs, in
the hands of any country druggist, however igno-
rant or negligent.
The Bourse, after a period of weakness, caused
by the rumour of a considerable diminution in the
bullion of the Bank—which rumour seems to be
true—recovered, and left off with scarcely any vari-
ation from yesterday's prices.

SERIOUS ACCIDWIT AT MARGATR.—Yesterday,
about noon, an accident of a serious natant hap on
the Rancegate Extension of the Kent Coast way. It
that several workmen were engaged in building
nrge at the four-cross-road, near Drapers, when a
slip of earth of several tone took place, carrying away
the scaffolding and burying the whole of the men,
smashing the leg of a man named Bristow both above and
below the knee ; a man named Christian sustained a frac-
tured skull, and another man a fracture of the ribs. The
earth was speedily removed, mod Bristow taken to the in-
firmary, when it was found necessary to amputate the
limb ; the other two were attended to by Mr. Willi=
sur-
geon, and afterwards conveyed to their homes at
gate. The three injured men are all single, and under the
age of twenty yews. Bristow still lemma, in a very pre-
carious state.
DARING OUTRAGE IN MEATR.—A blunderbuss,
loaded with twelve slugs, was discharged through the win-
dow of the dieing parlour of Mr. Tottenham Alley, who wee
' supposed to be then at dinner, some evenings since. The
tabk lamp was broken to mean, and a valuable oil
painting was perforated with several bolls. Mr. Alls 7
and hie family had left the room but a moment prep-
mull. The cause of the outrage ia, as usual, land. It
appears that the Earl of Darnley, who is the owner of
• large tract in this county, was this year to raise his
mute. His tenantry are for the most part inde-
pendent gentlemen and protestante. One of the tenants,
Mr. Hopkins, held a large grazing farm, upon which his
family have beers located for generatioge—stns the for-
feiture of the Pionkette, of Rathmore, the former owners.
Mr. Hopkins, having declined to pay the advanced rent,
received a notion to quit, and gave up the land. Mr. Alley,
also • protestant gentleman, took it, and it is repotted that
the landlord insisted upon his putting ont three oottier
lemons. After getting possession Mr. Alley received •
threatenieg notice, which he sent to the next police-station,
and the police were ordered to patrol about his hones from
8 o'clock card evening. The parties probably had notice
• of this, for the outrage was committed about 7 o'clock p.m.

ITALY.

--ip--
(PION 0112 OM COW

TURIN, JAN. 4.
Rome, you will remember, sent to Victor Emma-
nuel, by way of congratulating him upon the mar-
riage of the Princess Piawith the King of Portugal,
a very handsome data nuptiarum, according to the
custom of the ancient Romans. Venice has now
followed in the name path, her tardiness being
excused by the fact that all her preparations had
to be made by stealth. She has sent an exceedingly
beautiful album, full of excellent sketches in illus-
tration of Venice and its customs, interspersed
with some very graceful verses. Almost every
of this album was sent separately
page
Venice, in order to baffle the scrutiny
of the Austrian police ; so that bad one been
seized, the others might not have shared the same
fate. Even the binding came to Turin apart from
the rest of the work, and it was not until all these
detached portions arrived here that form and
vitality, so to speak, were given to the whole. In
' England, where liberty is not exactly the growth
of yesterday, you will have some difficulty in under-
standing a state of things which rendered it ne-
cessary to prepare in secret a work so thoroughly
deserving of the utmost publicity. But thus it is
in that part of Italy which is still enslaved,
and several persons were arrested in Venice
merely because they were suspected of having
had something to do with this present.
It was all to no purpose. The entire work has
arrived here, and this morning it was presented to
the King by the Marquis Giustiniani, a Venetian
nobleman belonging to one of the oldest families,
and Count Alleardo Alleardi, of Verona, one of the
most popular of Italian poets, who has several
times risked his life for his country on the battle
field and elsewhere. He was, indeed, imprisoned
for a long time at Joeephstadt. These two gentle-
men, and anotder, whom I will not name, for he
may perhaps return to the enslaved provinces, pre-
sented the album in the name of their fellow-
citizens. Alleardi spoke a few feeling words, which
deeply affected the King, who accepted the
present with much emotion. He thanked them
in his own name and in that of his
august daughter, and begged them to convey the
expression of his sentiments to their fellow-citizens,
and to cheer them at the same time with patient
hopes of the final triumph of the just cause.

La France of yesterday says, in reply to If. de
Caasaguac, who dote not seem to be sufficiently. re-
actionary to suit its tastes, "We are %puns!
unity, which is simply a handle for revolution.
These French politicians cannot see that it is, on the
contrary, the absence of unity which is a perma-
nent cause of revolution. Whether Italy is
likely to recede from its present position,
and sacrifice its conquests, and its aspirations,
to please Id. de La Gueronuibre, you may
judge from among other things by an article
in the Persereranza, suggested by the insolent
pretensions of France. You know that the Perse-
reran= is the most important of the Lombardy
journals, and that it is continually taken to task by
the radicals for its moderation. Well, only yes-
terday, this paper concluded an article with un-
usual vigour, by saying : "We were revolutionists :
we belong now to the moderate party, because we
want to see the kingdom consolidated by order,
and because we do not wish to molest our neigh-
bours ; but if foreign influence endeavours to undo
our work, and to dispute our right to manage our
own affairs in our own manner, we shall become
revolutionists again, and violent revolutionists too.
We shall no longer have any reserve or scruple, but
will disturb the peace of Europe, and have recourse
to even the most extreme measures."

Quitting politics, let me now allude to a curious
book which has just been published at Milan. It
is very unpretending in appearance, but it deserves
to be generally known. This is its title: " The
Scala Theatre—a chronology of all the pieces repre-
sented at this theatre, from the grand opening night
to the present time." The volume contains 186
Orlt gives at starting the programme of
ciay, the 3rd of August, 1778, the grand open-
ing night, including the names of the composers,
singers, and ballet dancers, and continues in this
manner to the autumn of 1882, furnishing an
account of all the performances, and the favourable
or not avourablereception they met with. Among the
many celebrities present at the opening of the house
only two are now remembered—the composer &-
hen, and the tenor Pacchiarotti. But theatrical
fame is not the only kind of fame which perishes.
In many respects this is a curious book, and it can
scarcely fall to command the attention of times
who wish to study the history of the musical art,
or even of dramatic taste, in connexion with the
subjects selected for the libretti and the ballets. Even
the prices of admission for the opening perform-
woe are given among the many other curious bits
of information in the volume.

A GANG or BI7RGIAIIB Brogue Ur.—The past
week has witnessed the committal of two notorious depre-
dators, who have for some time been the supposed leaders
of a party of thieves, burglars, and poachers, with which
the neighbourhood of Scarborough has long been infested.
A few weeks ago, an attempt was made to enter, in a
felonious manner, a warehouse belonging to Mr. Thos.
Pickering, a farmer at Newby. The warehouse had in it
a borrowed light, which communicated with Mr. Picker-
iog's bedroom. At about 1 o'clock in the morning of the
25th November last, he was aroused by his wife saying
that thieves were breaking into the house. On looking
through the window into the warehouse, he saw a man's
hand through a hole in the roof. He called out and the
band was withdrawn. He then loaded his gun with powder
and shot, and awaited the renewal of the attempt, which
was shortly made. This time the hole in the roof was en•
larged, and a man bad landed himself through it, upon the
niters that ran across the building internally. It was very
dark at the time; but while in this position, the man
struck a light, whereby Mr. Pickering distinctly maw his
face. Mr. Pickering @rialto would fire, ant the thief, slip-
pin through the bole again, told him to " Fire away."
lir. P. fired at the robber as he was retreating, and
hearing the cry of " Oh, dear!" he felt sure be had wounded
the man. The sequel proves this to have been the fact.
The robbers escaped ; but a description of the man seen by
Mr. Pickering has, at length, *ambled the police to appro.
heed him. When takes, the cosetabk mandoed his
thigh, and found it was marked with about twenty newly-
made shot-marks. His name is Janice Hall. About the
thus of Hall's apprehension, another man was taken on
suspicion as an accomplice of Hall's. This has ales proved
a correct sonnies, as Hall has become an approver against
him. His name is Quilkio, and he is known as a tioket-of-
have. He appeared before the authorities of the city of
York nearly thirty times, prior to sod during the year
1856, and he was sentenced to six years' penal servitude.—
