The Count of Flanders, says the Temps, left Paris
yesterday for Rome. Daring has short stay at Paris he re-
ceived no of deputation of Bonmains, and he appears
also to have avoided all communication with the official
world here. Notwithstanding this reserved attitude it may
be considered certain that he will refuse the government of
the Danubian Principalities.

The following address, signed by 64 young
Rnumeins residinz, in Paris, appears in the A renir National:
—"The Rotimain youth enthusiastically salutes and hails
with joy the nation upon the great act which it has accou.
plished, and offers up sincere wishes for the happiness of
the'r beloved Roumania."

of that city, has just discovered a manuscript by Leonardo
da Vinci, consisting of about 112 leaves of parchment, in
which the illustrious painter, who was also one of the
most distinguished men of science of his time, examines the
different phenomena of light in their relation to his art.
ANOTHER. DREADFUL BOAT ACCIDENT NILE CAR-
LINCIPORD LOUGH.—Sevin PERSONA DBOWNILD.—On Sun-
day last, a most painful contrrenee took pines at the el:-
teases of Cerlingford Lough, close to the Hollyhunter
, buoy, in the capsizing of a pilot boat, whereby seven men
were drowned. As far as can be ascertained, it appears
that Henry Coffey, pilot, of CranSeld Point, with six
other mu, among whom were Morgan, Chesnut. and
Shields, left in the pilot boat Lively, about half-past
12 o'clock on Sunday afternooo, with the intention
of pilotieg a brig that was in sight into Carlingford Longh.
After going a little pest the Hollyhunter buoy, they
, seemed to have changed their minds, as the boat wee ob-
served by a person on shore with a glass to be " put
about," and was apparently making for shore, with the sail
close set, es it is supposed they found that the gale was
too mnoh for the boat The wind was blowing quite
ahead, and a few minutes after the boat bad
bps put about it woe observed to capsize, when
man was thrown into the raging sea, and, sad to
erTnils, not one man was saved. Immediately after the
umlaut a boat went out, end after some time time they
got the beat, which had righted itself, but was quits full of
water, and entangled with the ropes and sails. In the
bottom of the boat lay the body of Henry Coffey, the late
owner of the pilot boat. This sad accident has met a gloom
r over the quiet village of KilkeeL Two of the unfortunate
; nun who have met a watery grave leave a wife and family
to deplore their melancholy end.—Newry, Telegraph.
