SIX IMN KILLED AND TEN INJURED.

The Anglo-Brazilian Times states that on the
15th September, when the Italian frigate Regina was going
out of port she manned her yards when about to pass the
French flagship Circe. a courtesy responded to in the name
manner by the French frigate. Unfortunately the Regina
was steered so elms that one of her yards caught in the
stays of the Circe's foretopgallant mast and broke off this
spar, which fell upon the yard below and parted it, cauving
all the seamen upon it to fall. Five were killed on the
deck, one fell in the water and disappeared, and seven
more were hurt, two of them severely. Three men on
board the Regina are reported to have also been hurt.

" The delay of Austria," says tho ledlpermlanie.
ptsfe, "in recognising the provisional government of.
spun, led to conjectures not much in accordance with thq
constitutional spirit which prevails now in high circles Air
Vienna. The .Court of Rome is said even to have at-
tempted to draw closer to Austria on this occasion and to
sound the intentions of the imperial cabinet respecting its
relations with Spain. Baron de Bend is reported to have
replied to the overtures of the Papal nuncio that the
cabinet of Vienna would follow in this case the example
which the western powers might set. The act, as is seen,
has followed closely on that declaration."

A story is going the rounds of gossip in Paris
(rays the Post) about a Russian countnes having reeeived
a magnificent bouquet of violets, on which wore I:will-
ow-1y placed some small tcspaxs to represent dewdrops.
The lady naturally imbibcd the sweet odours of the
