the preservation of peace, which was the object of
the policy he pursued ; and declared that Austria
did not meddle in German affairs, and entertained
no thoughts of a policy of revenge. He concluded
by proposing the toast, " Peace and reconcilia-
tion—the bases of progress, then gardians of a
healthy, freedom, and the pillars of order and se-
curity.'

THE CLYDE STATUE DI GLABOOW.—The statue
of Lord Clyde, erected by public iubicription of the citi-
zens of Glasgow, was publicly =vaned in George-square,
in that city, the day before yesterday, in presence of •
large concourse of spectators. Sir James Campbell, on
behalf of the statue committee, formally handed- over the
monument to the city oorporation, and the Lord Provost
accepted the trust. The statue has been executed by
Foley, and occupies • ate close by that of Flakman's Sir
John Moore. It represents Lord Clyde in • military
undress, standing erect, with the left foot advanced,
The left hand, grasping a telescope, rests on the stump of
a palm tree, while the right, hanging by the side, holds a
sort of helmet cap, encircled with an Indian veil. The
likeness is admirable, and the attitude and gesture forcibly
the charactenstica of the Indian hero.
expressf t. TitAne's LECTURES.—An action for breach
of contract, originating in Mr. Train's recent "lectures "
in Cork, has resulted in a verdict for the defendant, Cap-
tain Tooker, who had agreed to let the Protestant-hall there
to a Mr. Dillon for Mr. Train's use, but afterwards, on dis-
covering the nature of the intended lectures, refund to
fulfil the bargain. Captain Tooker is a justice of the
peace, and it was argued, against the claim of MU
damages, that be would have violated his duty as a magis-
trate and a loyal subject if be bad allowed seditious sen-
timents to be disseminated in the building which was
under his control, similar to those before uttered in
Yougbal and Dungarvan by Mr. Train.
STANDING OrODMOTILEIL—The Essex Herald is
responsible for the following funny story :—" The wife of
a respectable innkeeper had driven over from Chelmsford
with the laudable intention of standing godmother' to
the infant child of an acquaintance, and fearing she was
rather late she at once hastened to the church, and found
the clergyman and others waiting, but the child not yet
arrived. As it would have been rather a novel precedent,
to say the least, to christen a child in its absence, and the
clergyman had been already kept considerably beyond his
time, the godmother elect, whose acquaintance with liar
protege seems to have been of the slightest, lushly
undertook to fetch it, and running to the parents' house
caught up a baby which a female neighbour held in her
arms near the door, and returned with it in triumph
to the church. Everything being now in readiness the
ceremony was about to proceed, when the chrgrean
looking earnestly at the baby asked • Whose child is this r
Mr. So and So's' replied the godmother elect. But what
was the dismay of the party, and the congregation gene-
alhen the shrill voice of a little nurse girl in the'
background was heard to exclaim, ' No, that I know it
ain't ;ou've got the wrong 'mi.' As ;nay be supposed,
notwithstanding the solemn character of the ecossion, a
titter went round the church, and oould scarcely be said
to grow email by degrees and bosun! ully. less' when the
godmother having stated, in reply to the minister, that the
child was a boy, the persistent nursemaid shouted out,
`Na it aint ; it's • girl.' Explanations now ensued :
it was clearly shown that the godmother, whose intentions
were doubtless of the very best, lad in the hwry of the
moment brought the wrong child ; and the • real Dream'
having been duly substituted the orrmanY, was pine
through without further mishap, and the party went on
their way rejoicing."
