Lord Clyde, as an especial mark of her Most Gracious
Majesty's appreciation of his lordship's brilliant sonic/a-
l/aired &nice Gazdte.
The

It of the accouchement of the
Princess Frederick William of Prussia on Tuesday was
telegraphed direct to her Majesty at Osborne, from the
Palace at Potailam, without any break or interruption.
The young princess was born at 10 minutes past 8 a.m.,
but the fact was known at Osborne at 5 minutes past 8!
This apparent paradox is explained by the difference of
longitude of the two places.

" On the night of Wodnenday hat, or more pro-
bably early in the morning of Thursday," says the Gar-
deners' Chronicle, "the thermometer in the garden of the
Horticultural Society at Chiswick sank to 34 deg. Fabr.

The smoke of the guns at Berlin announcing the
birth of the daughter of the Prince and Princess Frederic
William had scarcely cleared away when another salute
of thirtv.six guns proclaimed to the inhabitants of Berlin
that another princess way bora—the Princess Frederic
Charles having given birth to a daughter.

The following appears in the hapartio/ de Snwrite
of the 15th :—The authorities hays jest seized ►t the Ca•
tom-house, three boxes fWed with copies of a pamphlet
translated from Soudan into Greek, and which have come
from Greece. It is unueceeeary to add that this composi-
tion coal not be more hostile to the Ottoman government
than it is. The Turks are described in it as veritable can-
nibals. A Damascus letter in the Journal de Cuuutanfi•
sople reports that similar writings have been introduced
into, and largely circulated through Syria.

In consequence of the numerous suicides which
have lately oecarred among the sokliers, Marshal Magnan
has issued an order of the day, repeating an opinion of
Napoleon 1., who compared the soldier who took his own
life to a man deserting his post on the day of tattle.

The diagrams prepared by the registrar and his
moisten= foe the year 185.4, disclose, as usual, some ninon'
fade. For instance :it appears that in the year 1&58, three
glrle of 15 were married to youths of 18 ; one of 16 was
married to a boy of 17 ; • young woman of 19 was
welded to • lad of 16 ; 12 girls of the age of 15 was
married to men of 21 ; in ell, 26 of the wives were only 16
years of age. 194 were 16 years; 1,016 were 17. The
age at which the greatest number of women marry is M.
A greater number marry at 30 than at 19 ; indeed,
save marry et 10 than at 25 oc 21 or 18. Five venerable
old dames of 75, all of them widows, found husbands, one
eatdtieg an active bachelor of 55. A girl of 17 was "m-
-enaced" to a man of 62 ; and another young creature of 20
to ea old fellow of 75. Three men at the age of 80 were
married to women of 50. A spinster of 70 was wedded
to • bootolor of 65 ; but the large majority of the women
who many at that period of life of course are widows.
