THE PRINCESS or WALES.—Daring the week
her royal highness has been allowed to sit up in a chair ;
and very early in the ensuing week the necessary changes
in the " splints" now in use will be made, so as to allow
the Princess more freedom. The joint affected is rapidly
losing all tendons.' and recovering its natural shape. The
progress of the Princess during the week has been entirely
satisfactory.—Brifiah Medical Journal.
DAMAGES FOR AN ACCIDENT BY A BOY.—An im-
portant trial to recover damages for personal injuries
caused by accident has just taken place before the Civil
Tribunal in Paris. In the month of July, 1865, the Prince
of Yalentinoia, a younger son of the Prince de Monaca.
while in the playground of the school attached to the chapel
of St. Mesnun, near Orleans, of which he is a pupil, threw
• pebble in sport at another boy, named Caffarelli,
but missing him, struck in the eye a young man
named Yvonneau, aged 22, who was preparing at the same
establishment to cuter ecclesiastical orders. The injury
was of a most serious kind, and resulted in • total loss
of sight in that eye, although the young man was under
surgical treatment for a year. He had been forced to
abandon his intended career in the church, and had even
been refused employment by a railway company, in conse-
quence of his partial defect of vision. M. Yvonneau
now brought an action to recover damages, de-
manding • stun of 15,000 fr. for loss of time, surgical
treatment, dc., and a life pension of 6,000 fr. • year in
addition. The Prince of Monaco dial not deny his respon-
sibility, but considered the amount asked for exaggerated,
alleging that the blindness hail arises from a detect of
vision from which Yvonneau had suffered since his birth.
The Prince offered • total sum of 10,000 fr., which he eon-
sidered would be sufficient to indemnify the plaintiff. The
court appointed M. Tanlieu and two other medical men to
examine the eye, and their report confirmed the
defence put forward by the Prince, that the loss of
sight did not actually proceed from the accident, although
at the same time showing that the infirmity from which
M. Yvonneau had originally suffered might have been ,
cured by a proper treatment, but in consequence of the
wound was now irremediable. The court, taking into con-
sideration
all the circumstances, condemned the Prince to
pay a Him of 10,000 fr., in addition to 2,000 fr. which M. I
Yvonneau had already received, and else to constitute on 1
the latter an annual pension of I,2Dofr. The defendant was I
likewise ordered to pay the costs of the suit.
THZ NEGROES AND THE New ORLEANS STREET
CARS. —We are glad to notice the settlement of the vexa-
tious street car question in New Orleans. The coloured
men have made this • sort of a test of the recognition of
their equality with whites, not only in New Orleans, but
in other cities. The former masters could not bear to put
themselves on a level with their late slaves, and, on the
other hand, those who would not object to seeing
disturbance of the public peace, which might be for their
benefit, have perhaps urged the matter with an intempe-
rate zeal. The question has, however, received its only
proper solutions in a general order from the several corpo-
rations instructuig their conductors and drivers to make no
distinction in their passengers on account of colour, which
is fair enough, as personal contact was not the real objec-
tion, white masters and mistresses and coloured ser-
vants having always ridden together.—Boston ddrereiser,
