Prince Leopold walked in the grounds, attended by
Mr. SaM.

A monstrous and almost incredible amendment
to the new press law has been proposed by M.
Mathieu, one of the few barristers of any eminence
who do not belong to the opposition. This mem-
ber of " Arcadia" suggests as a serious proposition
that every leading article should be sent in to a
government office twenty-four hours before its
publication, and that it shall be always lawful for
government to compel a newspaper to publish
simultaneously an official answer to it, and this
without prejudice to a prosecution. The Liherf4
exclaims at this :—" Marshal Narvaez is outdone."

M. Langrand - Dumonceau has commenced
an action against the Minister of Finance
for having declared in a meeting of govern-
mental deputies, cabinet ministers, Bc., held a
few days ago, that negotiations with the view of
assisting the national finances from the sources of
the ecclesiastical property are " going on." Now,
says M. Langrand-Dumonceau, the minister could
not, in so speaking, have alluded to the nego-
tiations with me, because they are not "going on,"
but concluded. He alluded, therefore, to nego-
tiations with others. But he has no right to open
negotiations with others,seeing that he is bound by
convention to deal with me in this matter, subject
to the ratification of parliament, which ratification
the convention must be understood to be waiting
for till it has been refused.

Signor Ratter-6 is asserted to have met with

Mr. George Peabody, who a few weeks ago made

Southern States, aoccasible to all permns alike, has been

those gentlemen are representatives of every section of the
Union, and of all divisions of political parties. They hare
met together day after day to make arrangements for the
judicious application of Mr. Peabody's benevolence, sad
they have satisfactorily brought to a close their labours,
which have been conducted throughout in a spirit of the

MUNICH, APRIL 8.

The official /3aoarian Gazette of to-day say.:—
" The King proposed to make a journey of a
month's duration, but in view of the serious com-
plication of political affairs has immediately and
definitively relinquished his intention."

It would seem that there is very slender ground
for bringing an action here ; and it is asserted that
the terms of the convention between Signor Scia-
loja and M. Langrand-Dumonoeau are that the

Whitehall, on the subject of the cattle plague. The lords
present were the Lord President and Lord Robert Mon.

the committee.

The Bcdingske Tidende of to-day says :—" We
are officially authorised to declare that the para-
graph published by the English newspapers, giving
an extract from a speech of the King of Denmark to a
Danish deputation in London is inaccurate both in
form and substance, and that the comments which
have been made thereon are consequently without
foundation."

arrangement made between them shall be ratified
" by the present parliament." If that is so, the
small ground for complaint which is set forth in
the Belgian capitalist's pleading is cut away from
under him. For inasmuch as the parliament in
question has been dissolved, it never can by possi-
bility ratify the convention ; and with its dissolu-
tion the convention necessarily fell to the ground.
Actions are, however, sometimes brought with
no hope whatever of obtaining any advantage from
them save the means and opportunity for insuring
publicity. And it is possible that this measure of
M. Langrand-Dumenceau may have for its sole
object the publishing of certain facts which his ad-
versaries would fain keep dark. This, I say, is pos-
sible. "It is said" that a moderate portion only of
the sum of 60 millions of francs, which, as the con-
, vention purported, was to be given to M. Lan-
' grand-Dumonceau as the commission on his j,,b,
was really to find its way into the pocket of that
gentleman. "It is said" that the larger portion
of the sum was to be distributed among various
persons to whom the touch of a penny of
it was dishonour of the deepest dye ; and
" it is said" that no less a sum than half
the whole sixty millions was to be allotted
to one occupying the highest position in the king-
dom. On asking for something tangible, however,
as evidence of the truth of these assertions, I find
nothing better than the further assertion that
" everybody knows it." It is true that a great
many say that they know it.
Signor Crispi has made a speech in the Chamber
which is apparently to be taken as the programme
of the opposition. If any real faith were to be
placed in the intentions announced by Signor
Crispi as those of himself and his political friends
it might be imagined that we were about to
enter on a parliamentary golden age, in which
the fiercest lions of the Left are to he
down with the lambs of the Centre, and
all other such strange associations take
place. For according to Signor Crispi, that
which the Left desires is what everybody else de-
sires. The period of revolutionary expeditions and
hazardous enterprises is past, and the old prin-
ciples and wishes of the Left have passed away
with it. Were it not so, the Left would become •
fossilized party in the midst of surrounding move-
ment. What the Left now, therefore, wishes and
advocates is, that Italy should busy herself with
consolidating what she has gained, andpreparing for
a stable future by settling the administration of the
government on a durable and just basis, and deve-
loping the liberal institutions of which we are in
possession. No member of the Centre could speak
otherwise. It is a moderation of liberalism far
greater than would be asked for by many a liberal
friend of Italy and free government, who might be
excused for thinking that Italy has yet some liber-
ties to acquire of which she is not still in posses-
sion. Such persons would not wish to
see the Left in the Italian Chamber, for
example, sit down contentedly under a " Statutes "
the existence of which reduces the theory of par-
liamentary government to an absurdity. They
would be perfectly ready to forgive the Left for
agitating fur the abolition of that French engine of
despotism, the institution of prefects and sub-
prefects. But the truth is that Signor Crispi's
programme is words—words—mere words. I am

He has also had a small cutter yacht built at Cowes. The

The Hampshire Ailnertiser of Saturday says that
the Australian claimant to the Tichborne title and estates
has been acknowledged by those officers of the alk
Dragoon Guards or Carabineers who have seen him, to be
Cornet Roger Charles Tichborne, who once belonged to
that regiment ; that Sir Roger never came to England
until he wan fourteen years old, and then he did not make
the acquaintance of many of his relatives. This, says the
Ad +Trailer, will account for some of them not renown's*
him. Sir Roger when lie came to England in 1a45 went to
Stonyhurat College, where he remained until 1549, when
he entered the army. The Dowager Lady Tichborne, the
mother, has visited Winchester respecting the pretensions
of the Australian claimant, whom she unhesitatingly'
acknowledges as her long lost eon.

Los? IN A SNOW Sroass.—A shocking case of
death from exposure has occurred on the hills near Chir

brothers named Preece met by appointment at an Most

74 years of age, was a well-to-do farmer, living at Suer•
port, in Worcestershire, and was about to pay a visit to his
brother Vincent, who lived at Chirbury, on the other side
of the hill, and had come across in the afternoon to meet
his guest. A little after 8 o'clock the two brothers started
for Chirbury, the night being dark and bitterly cold, sith
a heavy snow storm blowing. When about half-way across
