On the 19th alt. King George, accompanied by
Count Sponnech and the whole court, left Atlases to make

jesty has already visited Chalcis on the Enripes, the

The Times the other day published a letter of the
Bishop of Oxford, quoting the editor of the Obierrateur
Catholique, the Abbe Gnat* in support of his
statement that there are between 800 and 700 later-
dieted priests driving cabs and omnibuses in Paris.
Biz George Bowyer writes, "It is not my wish to
say anything that may be prejudicial to that person or
anyone else ; but, as he has put himself forward sad is
brought forward by the Bishop of Orford as an authority
on this subject, chiefly isti the ground of his esolasiasteml
character, I must be permitted t• abate that the Abbe was
himself an interdicted priest, sod that he has joined the
schismatical Greek church. His newspaper is called the
Catholic Obverses, bat its more sanest description would be
the Macron. on Catholics, for it is a paper strongly host's
to the Roman catholic church and to the French clergy,
under a transparent disguise of defending what are called
the Gallican liberties."
General Sabine, president of the Royal Society,
held his snood conoereszions for this meson at Darlington
House on Saturday last. The attractions (apart from the!
pramoce of animated visitors) were of the usual kind, with
a decided preponderance for new philosophical apparatus
and application of scientific principles. With these were •
series of models, lent by Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor
of the Navy, which afforded opportunity to judge of the
forms sad merits of the Amazon, the iron-clad Enterprise,
the Achilles, and Bellerophon, and of their mod* of con-
struction ; sod a half-model of the Royal Sovereign.

The Confederates burned 94,00 bales of cotton
before evacuating Montgomery.
Booth was shot through the head, he lingered
for three hours. His foot also was injured, and he
used crutches. The cavalry who surrounded the
barn summoned Booth and Harrold to surrender.
The latter seemed inclined to acquiesce, but Booth
accused him of cowardice. After the barn was fired
Harrold surrendered, but Booth shot at the cavalry
sergeant, who returned the fire and killed him. It
is supposed that Harrold is an accomplice of the
assassin who attacked Seward. Doctor Mudd, of
Maryland, set Booth% leg, and supplied him with
crutches. Mudd has been arrested.
Booth's brother, Junius Brutus, has also been
arrested.

The Times' telegram gives the exact terms of the
agreement between Sherman and Johnston. One of
the articles was as follows :—" The people and in-
habitants of all States to be guaranteed, so far
as the executive can, their political rights and
franchise, as well as their rights of person and pro-
perty, as defined by the constitution of the United
States and of States respectively."
In the account of Booth's death, in the same
telegram, it is stated that the assassin,
up to the latest moment after he was shot,
" continued to curse the government," finding an
interval, however, to send a farewell message to his
Imother.
