A letter from Berlin state that the Court is ex-
pecting at every moment to receive the news of the death of
the Grand Duke of Ifeeklenburgh.ntrellts, brother of the
late Qneen Louisa of Prussia, and uncle of the Prince
Regent. The Grand Duke is the oldest sovereign in Europe,
being in his 81st year. His sou and successor is blind.

A letter from Vienna in the German Journal of
Prima/art says :--" The principal reason for which the
Anotrian clergy opposes the grant of the mime religious
rights to the Protestant* as to the Catholics, is that they
know that if it were made a peat number of Catholics
would turn Protestants. The concessions accorded to the
Hungarian Protestants have already produced numerous
conversions in Hungary. The clergy are alarmed and
irritated, and the high clergy in private speak of the
Emperor Francis Joseph in terms which they dare not
employ in public."

PARES, WZDNISDAY EYEING.

The Patric, in an article headed " Savoy Must
not be Dismembered," renews the claims of France
to Chablais and Faucigny. It promises—but
merely in vague and general terms, which of course
bind the Emperor even lees than one of M.
Thouvenel's despatches—that the " interests " of
those provinces in their relations with Geneva shall
be duly eonsidered. It is worthy of remark, after
the rumours that Savoy was to be handed over to
France like a piece of private property, by a mere
conveyance between sovereigns, that this article
recognises an appeal to a people " free " to declare,
in the face of Europe, what are to be its
future destinies.. No allusion is, however,
made to the question whether the vote is
to be taken by universal suffrage or otherwise.
In any case the Patric is quite sure that the result
of the vote cannot be doubtful ; it calls upon the
Savoyard& to make haste and say the word, and in
its anxiety to take possession assures them that the
operation of the annexation of their country will be
just as easy as was that of the annexation of the
banlieue to Feria the other day—there are only a
few posts to be knocked down.

The Cowrrier des Alper says that a new vote for
the annexation of Savoy to France is quite un-
necessary, because the people have never revoked
their vote of annexation in 1792. Does anyone
ask a child long separated from his family whether
he wishes to return home 1 A vote, this enthusi-
astic journal says, would be an insult, and more-
over an illegality. nil article being reproduced
in large type by the Pays, may be considered as
intimating the latest views of the French govern-
ment on the question. It is pretty plain that the
Emperor feels assured that Savoy, consulted by
universal suffrage, would not vote itself French.
The Pres* gives as authentic the following anec-
dote from Naples : Baron Brenier, the French Am-
bassador, having waited an unusually long time
without being able to obtain an audience of the
King, was at length told with many apologies that
his Majesty was not to be found. "II parait,"
said the French envoy, smiling, " que as Majestd
est perdue." General Sabatelli, who saw the
illusion, and understood its importance, re-
plied, " B.assurez voila elle n'est qu'iigarife." M.
Braider rejoined " Esperons le Seigneur esperons-
le !" Notwithstanding a recent protest by a Lon-
don critic against the interpolation of French
phrases in English composition and the assertion
in support of his argument that Macaulay never
used any, I must contend that it is in many
cues pedantic to attempt to do into English
expressions which are untranslatable without
much circumlocution, and which the class of
readers intsseeted in the matters to which they
relate Am almost certain to understand, if not at
once at least with easily accessible aid, in the
original language, which alone can preserve the
" salt "in a oonoentrated form. If M. Brenier
really used the expressions imputed to him by the
Praise, the fact is highly important as showing
that France looks for a revolution in
Naples. The French word "perdu," which
the ambassador is said to have used in a
double sense, does not, primarily at lead, mesa that
a man is not to be found, or has lost his way, but
rather that the person referred to is lost—utterly
undone. It is said of a sick man, of whom there is
no hope, "il est perdu." The cream of the story
therefore, is, that the Neapolitan minister, feeling
the sting of the French sarcasm, and having, more-
over, misgivings that there was but too much foun-
dation for it, assured him in a happy repartee, that
his Majesty of the Two Sicilies was not hopelessly
lost, but had merely been misled, or gone tempo-
' rarily out of the right path (egaree).
The Bourse was tolerably firm ; the Rente re-
covered from the fall of yesterday, closing at 68fr.
for cash, and 67fr. sc. for account, with a rise of
15c. and 10c. Mobilier rose fir. Railways were
2fr. to XL higher.

The abolition of the entrance fee to the Bourse,
which everybody admits is a great incubus upon I
transactions, seems to be further off than ever.
The city of Paris has offered to sell the Bourse for
six million of francs to the Company of Stock-
brokers, upon the condition that they would
throw it open to the public ; but the brokers by
a majority of 57 to 3 have refused to aocept the
proposal.
The affair of Bishop Dupanloup has created dis-
cord among the bar of Orleans. A clerical journal
lately gave out that in consequence of a manifesta-
tion of the Orleans bar in favour of the bishop, the
latter, in order to mark his sense d the value of
their support, had begged their beltonnier, M. Quin-
ton, and • past bdtonnier, K Robert de Massy, to
proceed to Paris to assist MM. Berryer and Dufaure
at the trial which is to come on to-morrow. It is
now stated by the Patric that out of the thirty-six
members of the Orleans bar, only thirteen pro-
nounced in favour of the bishop, and that the ma-
jority thought it indecorous for a corporation of
advocates to make an ea Carte demonstration re-
specting a cause pending in a court of justice.

AMENDMENT OF THE REGISTRATION SYNTEX
A deputation from the liverpool Reform Association is
about to wait upon Lord John Russell and Sir George C.
Lewis to suggest the insertion of clauses in the Reform
Bill for the regulation of elections, which in the opinion of
the council of that association will tend to prevent the in-
direct bribery and treating carried on, especially in the
smaller boroughs, and also to draw the attention of her
Majesty's government to the present system of registra-
tion, with a view to its amendment.

Tim Joircuernewir Ewa& —Yesterday evening

Bengal opposing masters were present at that meeting, and,
although those masters did not venture to oppose the move-

in the newspapers which set forth that the case of the
operative bakers was not so bad as bad been represented,
and that some of the facts mentioned in Mr. Lilwall's
pamphlet, " Bondage in the Bakehouse," were overdrawn.
it bad been decided by the executive council that the op-
posing masters should be clialleuged to • public discussion,
when the public would be at once able to judge of the
justice of their cause. Mr. Bennett said the iouraevmen
would defeat any arguments that the master could 'bring
forward against the movement. If they did not follow up
the Exeter Hall meeting, that meetings would stand as an
everlasting disgrace apinst them. Mr. Pidgeon said that
