The Patric seems to think that it has made a
great hit in avowing that the real motive of its hos.
tility to Garibaldi is jealousy of English influence
in the Mediterranean, and returns to the subject
with much glee. As before the Italian war last
year it told the people of the Univers that,
" whether they knew it or not, they were Aus-
trians." So it now tells the mistaken partisans of
Garibaldi's expedition to emancipate the Sicilians,
" You think yourselves good Italians, but in re•
ality you are excellent Englishmen "—(vow Eta
des Anglais sans le savoir). The Opinion Nationale,
adverting to the expression of the Pattie, which I
noticed yesterday—that it did not wish to see the
Sicilians become lonian's, and that that was the
whole secret of its policy—thus stigmatises the
Patrie's tactics :
A poor secret of a poor policy ! What right has this
journal to throw in the face of Great Britain an accusation
not supported by any fact whatever?

There has been a panic at the Bourse on account
of a variety of alarming rumours. The one most
talked of was that a Russian army of 45,000 men
was marching upon the Pruth, while the Porte was
concentrating a force of 30,000 at Widdin. Thit
story, however, was known in London yesterday,
and it produced no effect whatever upon Consols.
The same observation may be made of the report—.
no doubt less unfounded—that a portion of the
British fleet has left Malta to cruise in the Sicilian
waters. It was further said, however, that a
French naval force is under orders to leave Toulon
for the same destination. The Rente fell 50c. for
cash and 55c. for account, closing at 70fr. 30c. and
70fr. 25c. Mobilier fell Isfr. All the railways
were from 2fr. 50c. to sfr. lower.

THE ELLISON GALLERY.

(From the dtkatcrunt of this day.)

We have to announce the foundation of a new'
public gallery of art—the Ellison G►llery—henceforth to

the Sheepshanks Gallery. Mrs. Eizebeth Ellison, of Sul-
brook. Holme, in the county of Lincoln, has made to the
Department of Science and Art at South Kensingtoo, a most
noble gift. It consists, for the present, of fifty splendid
original water-colour paintings (the production of
British artists), the property of her late husband, Richard
Ellison, Esq., who always intended that some of his collection
should ultimately be bequeathed to the nation. The pictured

lowing artists :—G. Barrett, 1 specimen ; C. Bentley, 1 ;
G. Cattermole, 8 ; G. Chambers, 2 ; David Cox, 1 ; Sydney

ment of Science and Art, until a separate and permanent
room or rooms shall be erected for the purple. ; that
the professional adviser for the preservation of the said
water-colour paintings shall be the president
the Water-Colour Society for the time being ; and
that they shall be exhibited to the public es constantly as
the oil paintings in the charge of the Science aml Art De-
partment. Mrs. Ellison expresses her dedre (in which her
late husband, it is said, would have concurred) that the pic-
tures shall not be exhibited on Sunday. The gift has been
formally accepted by Lord Granville on the part of the pub-
lie ; and the works are in progress of arrangement under
the judicious sue of Mr. Redgrave.

A Frankfort journal state* that M. Auer, the
Director of the Imperial Printing-office at Vienna, wee to
have been arrested on a charge of falsifying coupons, and of
being an acxximplice in the affair of Eynatten, but that he
had ab.eonded.

We (Gunienerg Chmloicte) learn that a very con-
' aiderahle collection of fine show plant. is to he sold in
Belgium. They were the property of Baron Heyntlerycx,
a Belgian nobleman lately and for many years president of
the Royal Agricultural and Botanical Society of Ghent. It
appears from the catalogue that there are some very im.
portant lota, such as 600 or 700 fine plants of camellias, 70
noble rhododendron arbor Pam, large Arsumri" film
orange trees, many rare orchids, grand spectate= of palms.
&c. The sale will take place on the 16th, 17th, and 18th
of next July, at the Chateau of Destelbeigen, a place a
short two miles from °hoot.

We (Army and Nary (:wette) believe that the
arrangements respecting the re-organisation of the Indian
Army will be officially made public in a few days. and
that a military commission will be appointed to settle the
details of the amalgamation.
