JOURNEY OF ERE EMPEROR NAPOLEON TO CON-
ATARriNorte.—La Qvethon d'Orinst of the 13th says:—
" We have it on good authority that his Majesty the
Emperor Napoleon 111. intends to extend to Constanti-
nople the journey be will make to Vienna about June or
July next, in order to rotors the visits he received
during the late Universal Exhibition from the Sultan and
the Emperor of Austria. Should this journey take place,
it will be the starting point, we hope, of a now as in the
regeneration of the East."

A brilliant tote has lately been given at Cannes,
where a number of distinguished English noblemen and'
gentlemen formed the bulk of the gay gathering. A
tournament took place in a picturesque spot, a beautiful
meadow, partly enclosed by the Gulf of Napaule, and the
picturesque mountains to the north and west. The
eisalienc all young men, were armed like the knights of
the Middle Ages, but mounted after the manner of Sancho
P.inra, on the classical animals from the stable of Don
Quixote, announced at the beginning of the tournament by
s hendd-atarnis on a beautiful white palfrey. After the,
oombat the conqueror was duly proclaimed, and rewarded
with a crown of orange flower, at the hands of a beautiful
young lady. Among the company were the Earl and
Countess of Kintore, Mr. and Mn. O'Neil, the Earl sad
Counteu of Mount•Edgcumbe, Mr., Mn., and Mime
Brougham, Lady Cochrane, &a . _

Mr. Bernal, her Majesty's Consul at Havre,
draws attention to the approaching maritime exhibition at
Havre, and expresses regret that the number of de-
mands for admission from Great Britain have fallen
far short of what had reasonably been expected. The
.thibition will embrace every description of article con-
nected with ships and seamen, and, as It will be held in
tho " Liverpool of France," and at our very doors, Mr.
Bernal thinks that it ought to possess very great Wm.
tions for a maritime nation like Great Britain.
SIR GEORGE JENEINSON AND THE CARLTON
Clue.—The Nottingham !mensal contains the following
Jotter :—" attention has just been called to a
statement in your paper of this day—that the
Carlton Club found the mesas—i.e., the money,
for my election contest at Nottingham in
1866. I wish they bad—but it is not so.
Fair criticism from • political opponent I never ob-
ject but I cannot submit • gross and scandalous
Invention, to
which has not the smallest shadow of founda-
tion of truth. The Carlton Club never on any occasion,
either directly or indirectly, paid one d:pence
any election expenses for me, and, except being for
many years • member of that club, I have no-
thing whatever to do with it, or the club with me,
as a candidate for Nottingham or any other place.
I claim at your hands the insertion of this, as well as •
public withdrawal of the statement you have so recklessly
made, and which (although I have before heard it made
verbally—and have as otos contradicted it) I have never
hitherto seen any one venture to make in print or writing.
