The Princess Darinka has sent to Paris, as a present to
the Imperial Prince, a complete suit of the Montenegrin
costume, the produce of her own handywork, and accom-
panied by the arms and accoutrements worn in that country.
The jacket is most elaborately and tastefully embroidered
with gold lace. The costume of these mountaineers is
something similar to the picturesque dress worn by the
Greeks and Albanians.

A letter from-Berlin in the Deutsche Reich.,
tradicts in the most positive manner the liberation of
Bakunin, and add that he is considered in Russia as a far
subject to be restored to liberty, not only on
account of the leading part he took in the revolutionary

too da

movements in France, Poland, and Germany, Lut for his
panslavistic speeches and philosophical writings. The

writer further meintains that a mitigation of Bakuniu's
imprisonment was therefore all that could be expected from
the clemency of the Czar, and suspects that his uncle,
General Mouravieff, well aware of this, did not therefore
press his restoration to liberty.

The Turkish gov,erninent has decided on constructing
two lines of electric telegraph from Adrianople to
Salon-ice, and to Alexanitza. The latter is. to be after-

A credit of fi#e millions of piastres has been appropriated
for these works, which are to be commenced immediately.
The Rajah of Rungpore left Solomon's hotel, Southamp-
ton, yesterday, for London. The rajah had two servants—
one was the interpreter, and was the same person who came
over with the son, of Runjeet Sing. He speaks English
pretty well. The rajah was ill during the whole voyage.
He is very rich, a great dandy, and is considered quite a
George IV. amongst the native princes. A great part of
his magnificent wardrobe and treasures got mixed with
the baggage of the Queen of Oude, and was consequently
left behind in Egypt. He would only eat poultry
which had been killed by himself or servant, and fish with

HER MAJESTY'S MILITARY COSTUME.—Her Majesty,
at several of the late reviews, has, with her usual
gracious consideration, exhibited the most anxious desire
to pay compliments to the pride of her brave soldiers
by appearing in a most splendid military uniform, the
particulars of which will doubtless please our lady
readers. The habit is of the finest scarlet cloth, the
ornaments on the collar of which are beautifully
embroidered in gold and silver, with the device of a Field
Marshal. A brilliant star upon the left breast ; across
the left shoulder the blue ribbon of the Garter, and a
very gorgeous crimson and gold net sash, terminated with
gold bullion tassels. The hat is of a remarkably light
black felt, with a round crown and of most graceful
design, having a very elegant general officer's plume of
white and red feathers, and a rich cord of crimson
and gold thrice round the crown, ending with two
handsome gold and crimson bullion tassels. Nothing
can exceed the beauty of this costume and is accesso-

A letter addressed to the General Correspondence (Paris)
says :—" Prince L. Lucien Bonaparte has come to spend
some time in the French and Spanish Basque provinces,
for the purpose of collecting on the spot the documents
and sources of information which he requires for enabling
him to complete two important works he intends publish-
ing—true monuments raised in honour of the Basque people,
whose history and language the Prince has long made the
subject of his studies. Prince Lucien, on his return to
Paris, Is about to commence the publication of the Gospel of
St. Mathew in all the Basque dialects ; then that of a
splendid map of those districts where the Basque language
is still spoken. Every day the Prince assembles round
his festive board at Saint Jean de Luz, representatives of
the numerous Basque dialects existing in Spain and
France. It has happened more than once that the
guests, all of them speaking Basque, did not understand
one another ; but the Prince, from his profound know-
ledge of each idiom, was invariably able to interpret th e
word or thought of Oa speaker to the embarrassed
listener.

the London Tavern, for the purpose of confirming au agree..

THE Ex-ROYAL FAMILY or, 017 DE.—The Queen Dowager
of Oude is forty-five years of age. Her son, the dethroned
king is aged about twenty-eight years, and her grandson,
who is with her, and who is heir apparent, is about sixteen
years old. This youth is married and has one child. The
brother of the dethroned king, who is also with the Queen
Mother, is a general in the native Oude army, and
he, it appears, claims the throne in opposition to
the heir apparent; so that not only is the Oude
family coming to England to dispute with the
East India Company for the possession of the throne
of which the ex-king has been deprived, but also to
settle a dispute among themselves as to who is the rightful
heir. The Queen Mother, with her family and suite, paid
nearly £B,OOO to the Peninusular and Oriental Company
for their pasiaga from India to England. They occnpicd the
