The Grand Duke and Duchess Constantine of Russia
have arrived at Palermo without touching at Naples.
A Florence letter of Jan. 13 states, that the King of
Naples has at length permitted Mdme. Ristori to play in
the latter city.
According to a telegram from Vienna, General Count
Mensdorff is to hold the office of Austrian ambassador at
St. Petersburgh.
Th second volume of Mr. Henry Buckle's " History of
Civilisation," on which the author has been engaged for
the last fifteen years, will shortly be issued.

A Paris correspondent states that a report has reached
Paris of the death of Radio at Cayenne. He is said to
have exhibited in his last hours " sentiments of repentance
and piety."

Aavices from St. Petersburg state that the Life Assu-
rance Association founded in 1835, with exclusive privi-
leges, which have just expired, will be continued as an
ordinary joint-stock company.
The American Notes and Queries states that Mr.
Charles Lanman, of Washington, has undertaken the
gigantic task of compiling a Dictionary of Congress,
from the earliest times until the present.
A "tortoise-shell torn cat" was put up for sale by
auction a few days ago, at Norwich. The bidding went
up to £l2, but the lady who owned it had refused an
offer of £2O, so she bid 12 guineas and bought it in.
Lady Cowley will not give her usual soirees at Paris
this season. The extensive repairs going on at the
British embassy will not be finished for a long time, and
Lord Cowley and his family are living temporarily in
Lord Holland's house.

The day after the.last ball at the Tuileries, Madame
de Hatzfeld was summoned to Berlin by telegraph, in
consequence of her husband, the Prussian ambassador at.
Paris, being taken suddenly ill. A recent letter from
Berlin states that the illness is not dangerous.
ACCIDENT TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF SUFFOLK.--
The Earl of Stradbroke has met with an accident while

The contents of Sir Edward's
.gun were accidently lodged
in his lordships' legs; he is going on favourably.
M. Yanderstichelen, deputy for Ghent, has been ap-
pointed Minister of Public Works in Belgium, an office
which had become vacant by the death of M. Partoes.
The Independence Beige describes the new minister as a
young, active, and intelligent member of the liberal party.
He is a member of the Belgian bar, and has been con-
nected with the newspaper press of Ghent.
AN INGENUOUS CHILD. Professor Jacob Grimm re-
lates the following anecdote : "Not long ago, a little
girl of about eight years old, apparently belonging to a
good family, rings at the door of Dr. Giimm, and tells
the servant that she wishes to speak to the Herr Pro-
fessor.' Thinking the little one had to deliver a message,
the servant shows her into the study of the Professor,
who receives her kindly, and asks after her errand. The
child looks at him with earnest eyes and says,
Is it thou who hast written those fine • Marchen?'
(fairy tales)—'Yes, my dear,' answers Doctor
Grimm, my brother and I have written the Haus
Marchen.' 'Then thou bast also written the tale of the
clever little tailor, where it is said at the end, who will
not believe it must pay a antler ?'—' Yes, I have written
that too.' Well, then, Ido not believe it, and I sup-
pose I have to pay a thaler ; but as I have not so much
money now, I'll give thee a groschen on account, and pay
the rest by-and-bye.' " The savant, as may be imagined,
was not a little surprised and amused. He inquired after
the name of his conscientious little reader, and took care
that she reached her home safely.

CUIMINALITY or MuNNING.—" A pun does not com-
monly justify a blow in return. But if a blow were
given for such cause, and death ensued, the jury would
be judges both-of the facts and- of the-pun, and might, if
the latter were of an aggravated character, return a ver-
dict of justifiable homicide. Thus, in a case lately de-
cided before Miller, J., Doe presented Roe a subscription
paper, and urged the claims of suffering humanity. Roe
replied by asking when charity was like a top. It was
in evidence that Doe preserved a dignified silence. Roe
then said, ' When it begins to hum.' Doe then, and not
till then, struck Roe; and his head happening to strike a
bound volume, of the Monthly Rag-bag and Stolen
Miscellany, • intense mortification ensued, with a fatal
result. The chief laid down his notions of the law to his
brother justices, who unanimously replied, Jest so.'
The chief rejoined, that no man should jest so without
being punished for it, and charged for the prisoner, who
was acquitted, and the pun ordered to be burned by
the sheriff. The bound volume was forfeited as a
deodand, but not claimed."—The Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table.

The Daily Telegraph, a paper established about three
years ago by a military gentleman, Colonel Sleigh, who
was the first that attempted to effect in the English
press, that revolution which Emile de Girardin carried'
out in the French. He founded a journal as big as
the Times - three yards of paper, printed in small
type, with crowded lines—the paper much better than
Girardin's Presse—and sold the whole, equal to an
octavo volume of three hundred pages, for a penny, or
one-fourth of the price of the Times. The honourable
and philanthropic Colonel spent a hundred thousand
pounds sterling in this enterprise, and died as_poor as a
beggar, a short time ago, at b -Bouloome. When Colonel
Sleigh had to give up the affair for want of funds, a
couple of. Hebrew gentlemen, Levy and Son, got hold of
it : as they possessed the needful, the machine kept
Tit marching., and has marched until now. Every day,
at one o'clock in the afternoon, Messrs. Levy, Mr.
Horace St. John, Mr. Bayle St. John, Mr. Geo. Augustus
Sala, and others, assemble in the editorial office, and
take a review of the universe. With a glance rapid as
lightning, Mr. Bayle St. John swallows this mass,
and orders, re-arranges, and classiliQs it ii 18 shortQit
