The Emperor of the French, has appointed the
Baroness de ViryCohondier, who belongs to one of the
wont distinguished families of Savoy, to be lady of the
palace to the Empress.

The King of the Belgium having paid, in July
last, a visit to Ghent, was received with remarkable enthu-
siasm by the students of the university of that city ; and hie
Majesty, ma mark of satisfaction, presented to the univer-
sity a gold medal, to be preserved in the library. The Bel-
gian journals now announce that the King has just sent a
bronze copy of that medal to each of the students, who took
part in the demonstration ; and in so doing hi. Majesty calls

Tern MALTA AND ALEXANDRIA CABLE. —Mr.
Fordo, of the firm of Messrs. Gieborne and Fork, the go-
vernment engineers, has proceeded to Malta to arrange at
the preliminaries for laying the Malta and Alex-
andrian cable, and will be assisted in his survey
of the route by two of her Majesty's ships. According
to the present arrangements the laying of the cable will
commence in May, and if successfully done, the cable will
be open to the public for the transmission of messages in
July, and as the defects in the Suez-Aden section of the
i Red Sea cable are believed to be trilling, it is' probable that
it may also be in working order in July, and thus place
' London in electric communication, via Malta, with Aden.-

THE SHAM FIGHT AT BRIGHTON ON EANTER
MONDAE—The arrangement. for this exciting affair are in
active progress. Nearly all the commanding officers of the
volunteer caps have given in their adhesion, and the two
or three who have held aloof have been so had premed by
their members, that they will not be able to prevent them
from taking part in the movement. As the calculations
stand at present, the attendance of nearly 13,000 men may
be relied on, and there is little doubt that the adhesions
which are daily coming in will increase the effective ma-
terially on the day of action. The volunteers' railway
tickets will be available from Saturday to Tuesdny morning,
hut the bulk, of course, will go down and return on the
Monday ; the South Coed Railway Company having
adopted measures to secure the transit of any number of
men to and from Brighton. It has been determined that
the entire force on arrival shall be echelloned fronting
the sea, forming a line three miles in extent. After the
parade the men will march to the ground which has been
selected for the operations, extending to Rottimelean on the
one side, and as far as Palmer, to the north-east of Brighton,
on the. other. A swage of elevated downs at these points
presents fine opportunities for taking up positions on a sue-
cession of hills, and for display on the part of the attack-
ing anti defending parties. l'he volunteers generally who
intend to be present on this occasion have expressed their
satisfaction at the opportunit afforded them of being
enabled to concentrate and act In masses.

THE PROCTORIAL SYSTEM IN CAMIIRIDOE.—An
emeute arising out of the attempted exercise of the prow.
torial powers in Cambridge took place on Tuesday night.
The Reverend J. W. Pieter,. of St. John's College, one of
the proTroctors, was going his rounds, accompanied by hie
attendants or "bull dogs," when they met two well-known
courtesans, one at least of whom is possessed of consider.
I able fiatic capabilities. It should be mentioned that since
the action "Ramp v. Neville," and various others, have
been pending, no girls have been taken to the Spinning-
house, the proctors confining their attentions to the gowns-
men alone. The rencontre took place a little before eight
o'clock, neer the pod:office, and the proctor demanded the
girls' names. The first gave hers "Sally Crowe," but the
second would give no other but "Loo." The proctor
cautioned them end was passing on, but irritated by some
offensive expreasion from Crowe. turned and ordered the
men to take the girls to the ginning-house. The bull dogs
laid hands upon the girls who, however, turned upon them
like a pair of mountain atta, and a most edifying battle-
royal ensued. This raged fur some time with
varying success, and in the course of it the
girls clothes suffered considerably, their crinolines being
reduced to mere skeletons. It ended, however, in it being
apparent that victory favoured the girls, for Crowe had her
man "in limbo." and was knocking his bead against the
shutters, while Loo's opponent was hop. dr rombal. By this
time a concourse of more than 500 persons had assembled,
and it was evident that their sympathies were with the
girls. Mr. Pieter!, who had been looking on, here
called upon a policeman for assistance, lint the officer was
ordered not to interfere by a well known surgeon and merit•
her of the town council, who was present Thus encouraged,
the people who had been shouting and hallooing encourage-
ment to the girls, commenced bugling the proctor and his
men, and what was a row would speedily have become a not.
had not Mr. Pieter' prudently withdrawn his forces, leaving
the girls in possession of the field.
