Letters from Berne to the 7th instant Live the
speech of the Pope at the English Qollege, in which
his Holiness mentioned the prosperity and greatness
of England, but regretted that she should be forget-
ful of her glorious title of the Holy Island. The
Pope hoped that her immense possessions and
boasted institutions would serve the cause of the
faith. Several English catholic prelates and other
distinguished persons were present.

PARIS, FRIDAY Emily°.

The Court of Caseation decided to-day, contrary
to the " conclusions" of M. Delangle (M. Dupin's
successor in the Procureur-General's chair), that
the mutineers of the Fcederis Area must be tried
by a civil and not a military court. It has
quashed the judgment of the Imperial Court of
Rennes, which sent the prisoners before a court-
martial.

The news, which has gone the round of the papers,
that Savfet Pacha, the Turkish ambassador, had
brought his wife to the last ball at the Tuileries,
turns out to have been a canard. The lady pre-
sented by him, and mistaken by the Evenement
(which now acknowledges its error) for his
wife, was an Armenian catholic, the wife of
Abro Effendi, now on • special mission
in Paris on behalf of the Ottoman go-
vernment. Thus are swept away a number of
edifying reflections about the march of intellect in
Turkey and the reform of Turkish manners.
Savfet Pacha has a harem in Constantinople, and
keeps his wives very strictly veiled and locked up
according to old custom.
A play by M. Glais-Bizoin, the opposition
deputy, is interdicted by the censure. It will be
brought out at Geneva. The title is, U, orai
Courage; ou, un Duel en Trois Parties.
A protestant in the department of the Gironde
has been tried by a police tribunal for working on
a fate day (the feaat of All Saints), and fined lfr.
He has appealed to the Court of Caseation. It
will be indeed a surprise if the supreme court shall
hold with the Gironde magistrates that the laws
of the restoration, making catholic haste obliga-
tory upon the whole community, remain un-
repealed.
A our at Segonsac, in the south of France, has
refused to bury a man's wife unless the widower
will perform an alleged promise to subscribe 300 fr.
towards repairing the pariah church. Such things
do indeed move " special wonder."
The Bourse was not good, although the arrest
of General Crawford and the published despatch
from the Marquis de Montholon tend to reassure
the public mind as to the affair of Bagdad. Rente
fell 100. for account ; Mobilier fell Bfr. 750.
