THE PRESS.

THE DANISH WRITER, EARFOED, has completed
his long-looked for " History of Denmark." The
work commences with the legendary tales, which it
gives with great detail whenever interesting or ro-
mantic, treats the middle-age period from a calm,
reformed Catholic point of view, and goes down to
our own time. It ties an excellent and comprehen-
sive index.
THE ROYAL. THEATRE AT ERESSELS is now en-
tirely restored, and will reopen on Sept. 1. It will
be entirely devoted to the grand opera, the comic
opera, and ballet.
THE DRAMATIC NEWS or THE WEEK at Paris is
the announced sale of Mlle. Rachel's house in the
Itue Radon. The most probable reason for this sale
seems to be her wish to buy a larger one more in
accordance with her princely fortune.
THE ANNEAL ART EXHIBITION at Vienna is now open
in the rooms of the Polytechnic Institute, which con-
tain in all some 143 objects, of which 130 are oil
pictures.
THE ART EXHIBITION was opened at Ghent on
Sunday last. Among the remarkable objects sent in
is the picture of Miss Rosa Bonheur, which had so
great a success at the last Exhibition at Paris.
AN INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION was opened at Milan
some days ago. Five rooms of the Brena Museum
contained a few objects distributed on a few tables.
In the first were a model of a locomotive, some
musical instruments, and samples of agricultural pro-
duce ; in the second, painted papers of very ordinary
fabric ; in the room for woven goods, some silks and
beautiful velvets ; in the fourth, earthenware and
porcelain of English, Saxon, and French imitations;
in the fifth, sacerdotal implements and specimen of
architectural ornaments.
THE SCIENTIFIC CosonEss was opened at Arras on
August 23. Scientific notabilities from France, Ger-
many, England, and Belgium were present.
THE CONoRESS for the adoption of an international
system of meteorological and marine observation as-
sembled at Brussels on August 24. The United
States were represented by Lieutenant Maury, the
promoter of the meeting ; Russia by Captain Gor-
kowenko ; Holland by Lieutenant Janssens ; France
by M. Delamarche, engineer-hydrograph ; Norway by
Lieutenant Bien ; Sweden by Lieutenant Pettersen ;
Portugal by Professor Correa; Belgium by Captain
Lahure and M. Gueletet, Director of the Observa-
tory. The representatives of England and of some
other naval powers were expected.
A PROJECT is afoot to create at Paris a society of
littirateurs for forming the synthesis of the important
works of mathematical analysis achieved during the
present age, and elaborating the vast encyclopediacal
collection of the nineteenth century.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT occurred on Sunday on the
Left Bank Versailles Railway, by which five or six
persons received severe injuries. A train went off
the rails with a great number of passengers, returning
from the Sunday fete and grands eaux at Versailles,
and came with force against an embankment.
THE DANISH ELECTRIC TELEORAPH has now
reached Altona. Thence it will be carried to Ham-
burg, and will be placed in communication with the
Cierman lines, so that European intelligence will
reach Copenhagen and Elsinore in an hour or two.
The expense is said to be rather less than the esti-
mate.
Tule CHOLERA is subsiding fast in Copenhagen,
the deaths having diminished to a little over twenty
per ►hem. From the commencement 6,987 have been
seized, of whom 3,762 have died. PI ivate liberality
of all kinds continues unabated. The French Mi-
nister, M. notezac, has decided on not celebrating
the 13th of August (Napoleon's day) this year, and
has instead handed 300 rbd. to the committee for the
relief of the sufferers.
