ITALY AND SWEDEN.

A letter from Stockholm, of the 6th inst., gives
the following account of the reception in that
capital of the Marquis de Torreon's, King Victor
Emmanuel's Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of
Sweden :

The Marquis de romana disembarked on the 2nd, sooner
than he was expected, and this circiunstanoe was the reason
why the ordinary prepsmtious for his reception were not
completed at the time of his landing. Nevertheless, the
steamer's entrance into the port having been rumoured
through the town, • crowd of from 30,000 to 35,000 pa-
ean flocked to the quays to welcome the envoy of
Italy, and to accompany him to the Rydberg Rotels
at which he stopped- The Sag immediately plead at his
disponi Major Echolon and his adjutant, M. Morillander.
On the following day the envoy of the kingdom of Italy was
eouducted to the palace by Count Oyldenstolpe, master of
the ceremonies, in a court carriage drawn by six horses, and
followed by another carrier containing the Marquis di
Migliorati and Signor San Martino. Oo the 4th a vlendid
banquet, to which were invited the foreign ministers accre-
dited to the court of Sweden, the chiefs of departments,
and the principal functionaries, took place in honour of the
envoy of Italy in the royal castle of tanked& On the 6th

TURKEY.

The French Ambassador at Constantinople, the
Marquis de Lavalette, had an audience of the neW
Sultan shortly after his accession, in the course of
which he said :
The hoods of friendship which for ages past have united
the two empires are, thanks to God, become closer, since
your brother, by adopting the great principles on which
repose the egungth and hooour of modern emetics—liberty
of oommienee, mrsllty of burdees and in civil and juridiosi
rights—nobly inscribed them in the face of Europe
in the Charter of Gallia., and afterwards in the Hatt.
ilsomyeass.

The Sultan replied :
I am deeply /Wad for the congratulations addressed
to me by the ambassador on she part of the Emperor, an& I

Tall GOYIM/MINT AND Till HOCIII Or LORDS.
—However welcome to the Hoes, of Lords may be the
secession of Lord John Russell, the House of Commons,
we apprehend, will ontamplate it with very little satisfac-
tion. While the House of Lords does but one-twentieth
pat of the business of the House of Commons, it boasts a
lion's share of the present administnition. Three out of our
five secretaries of state, the Chancellor, the First Lord
of the Admiralty, the Lord President of the Council, the
Postmaater-Geoeral, the Lord Privy Seal, all hold eats in
the Upper Hour, while the Home Secretary, and the
Secretary for lodic, the First Lord of the Treasury, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, the President of the Board
of Trade, the President of the Poor Law Board, the
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and the Secretary
for Ireland hold seats in the House of Commons. Lord
John Russell goes to give more to that which had already
far too much. At the present moment the two ministers
whose united departments distribute between twenty sad
thirty millions of the national revenue sit in the house
which does not represent the people. In voting the Army
and Navy Estimates the House of Commons received this
year from the under secretaries that information which
they ought to have from the beet and wet authen-
tic source. To these is now added the all-im-
portant department of Foreign Affairs, so that,
if things remain as they are, the represeetatives of the
people must be content to feed on second-hand informa-
tion. We can hardly imagine that this state of things will
be allowed to continue, and no doubt the promotion of Lord
John Russell to the House of Lords will be succeeded by
important changes. Unhappily, this is not the only
change that welters to expect. Tt* continued indisposition
of Lord Herbert, which has already rendered necessary his
temporary absence from this country, will, we apprehend,
before long oblige him to resign the seals of the war de-
partment. We can only bops that in filling up this vs-
caocy some regard may be paid to the disproportion to
which we have pointed above, and that the Home of Com•
mow may recover what it can scarcely be said now to pos•
sees—the direct control over this portion of the expendi•
tare.—Tina.

A GIALL&N T Acr.—.A letter from the Pyrenees
gives en account of an eat of courage and presence of mind
which is worthy of mention. Captain Tordeur, of the staff,
and. M. de Sainte.fledne, a cavalry officer, had effected the
Crw of ent the peak of llsucapera, near Bariges.
were deseeadiag into the Talley of St. Ssureur by an
ezceeeively steep slope, cut into deep escarpments. M. de
Sainte-Seine was aboutsoyards in advance of his companies,
when the latter suddenly found the ground give way under
him, and he wu precipitated forward with frightful rapidity.
He gave a cry for assistance, and B. de Sainte-Seine,
seeing the areatams of the danger, and at the risk of being
himself &ince to the bottom of the precipice, threw hum
self in tie way ci his companion. Both were knocked down
by the violence of the shock, and were rolling together
down the 4sup. when fortunately M. de Sainte-Seise was
able to stick 4u five-shod pole into the ground, and step
their farther descent just as they had reached the edge of
a deep preci 'es over which the}, must have been dished to
piece'. --G • •
