wee performel at the Royal Opera House, Berlin, and

A German paper contains the following :—" It
is now decided that the ex-Queen of Naples will not re-
turn to Home, as her brother, Duke Louis, this day con-
veyed her to the Ursuline convent at Augsburg in order to
avoid the importunities urging her to again share the fate
of Francis 11. Their marriage has not been happy for some
time. The endurance of the young Queen at Gaeta hoes
much of the romance with which it was surrounded by
their party ; but the courage and patience which the Ba-
varian duke's daughter showed there must be fully recog.
oink 'The moral defeat which Francis It. will sustalu by
the separation from his amiable consort will not be without
importance for Victor Emmanuel and the unity of Italy."
The German Journal of Fraafort stater that
during the last stay of the King of Prussia at 'Baden, his
Majesty's cash-box was stolen one evening in theroom which
Chancellor Bock occupied on the ground-floor of the hoteL
The fact was discovered by a footman, who, on returning
home, saw the window of the room open, and gave the
alarm. As it became apparent that the thief could not
have left the hotel, a strict search was made throughout
the establishment, and the box was at length found in the
garden wider a bush. The thief had evidently tried hard
to break it open, but had not succeeded for want of the
proper tools, with which a professional thief is generally
provided. The perpetrator of the robbery has not yet been
discovered.
