THE DAY'S NEWS

The Zurich Conferences continue a mystery

and are evidently a puzzle.

By yesterday's tele-

graph we learn that the French and Sardinian

Plenipotentiaries held a

conference—that M.

D'Bourqueney has received a courier from the
Imperial Cabinet at Paris—and that Count Col_
loredo has had a slight attack of apoplexy ; but,

again letter. It would be ungenerous to imagine

any arrangement of those awkwardnesses, but the

aggregation of time may have some significance•

Beyond this the troubles apparently hanging
over the European Continent seem so much on
the increase, that strict and prompt attentionto our

naval defences becomes at once a virtue and a duty

The commercial

world will learn with regret

that a protracted period is likely to elapse before

the postal route with Australia can be established

by way of Panama

The " affair of Lombardy

has been regulated

by the plenipotentiaries of France and Austria

if reliance can be placed on the Paris correspon-

dent of the
