A NICE DISTINCTL)N.

"Stormy Jack 1" I exclaimed, rushing forward, followed
by Gainane. " ' you. Stormy ? What's wrong ? Do
you want any help ?"

"Yes," replied Jacks teach these fellows some manners
for me. My legs are too drunk, and I can't do so my-
self."

The two men then moved silently, but rapidly away.
"Have you got the gold ?" I asked, ready for pursuit in
case the fellows had robbed him.

" Yes, that's all right. One of them tried to take it, but
I wouldn't let him. I'm sober enough for that. It's only
my legs that be drunk. My hands are all right."
Stormy's legs were indeed drunk ; so much so, that
Guinane and I had much difficulty in getting him along,
We were obliged to place him between us, each 6upporting
ono of his sides. Alter considerable labour, we succeeded
in taking him to a hone where I was acquainted. Bete
we put him to bed ; and, alter leaving instrtictions with the

landlord not to let him depart until one of us should return,
we went home to our own lodgings.

Next morning, at an early hour, I called to see Stormy,
and found him awake and waiting for me.

"You done me a good turn last night," said he, "and I
shall not forget it, as I have you."
" Why do you think you have forgotten me ?" I asked.

"Because last night you called me Stormy Jack; and
from that I know you must have seen me before. I've not
been hailed by that name for several years. Now, don't
tell me who you are, for I want to find out for myself,"
"You could not have been very drunk last night," said
I, " or you would not remember what you were called ?"
"Yes, would I," answered Stormy," according as the
land lay, or what sort of drunk it was. Sometimes my
mind gets drunk, and sometimes my legs.- It's not often
they both get drunk together. Last night it was the legs.
Had you been a man six or seven years ago, when I was
called Stormy Jack, I should remember you; for I've got
a good memory for things that don't change much. But
when I used to be called Stormy Jack you must have been
a bit o' a tiny boy. Now, who can you be ? What a stupid
memory I've got I" continued he, scratching his head.
"There's no way of teaching it manners as I knows of, But
what boy used to call me Stormy Jack—that look as you
ought to have looked a few years ago ? Ah I now I have
it. Bless my eyes. if you arn't the Rollin' Stone 1"
Stormy then rushed forward, grasped my hand, and
nearly crushed it between his strong, sinewy fingers.
"Rowley, my boy I" said he, "I knew we should meet
again. I've thought of you, as I would of my own son, if
I'd had one. I've looked the world over, trying to find
you. How come you to hail me by name last night ? You
are an astonishing chap. I knew you would be, and some
one has larnt you manners, Ali I I suppose 'twas Nature
as did it ?"

This very characteristic specimen of his adven-
tures may give an accurate idea of the Rolling
Stone and his associates—a capital " rolling stone,"
no doubt, but hardly, to our thinking, " a
diamond ! "

FRAititcE.
PARIS, JULY 30,
The Constitutionnel of today publishes an ar-
ticle signed by Limayrec, alluding
to the change of
opiuipu whioll 604 taken place in Citrwauy towardli

Prussia and Austria, because those Powers ha,
altered their policy. The writer then continues:—
" Austria and Prussia first acted in the name of
the Confederation, now the Diet is not eves repro
sented in the Conference at Vienna. The comps
tence of the Diet to settle the succession question
is misunderstood. The hesitation of Prussia and
Austria with regard to the succession question
has given rise to certain rumours of arrangements
which would satisfy territorial ambition without
taking into consideration the wishes of the popula•
lion. Germany is, above all, astonished that the
wise and equitable principle of regulating the
question only with the assistance of the parties
interested is not respected."
The wilier next calls to mind that France had
demanded that the German Diet should be repre•
sented at the London Conference, and proceeds--
" This was perfectly just and good political fore-
sight, but it appears not to be regarded in
that
light at Vienna and Berlin. It is on that ground
that Germany sees with displeasure and not with

uneasiness the two Cabinets depart from the con-
ditions which at the present time can alone bring
about serioutt solutions and produce desirable re-
sults."

HER MAJESTY,

OSBORNE, July 29.
Yesterday afternoon her Majesty the Queen week
on board the iron-cased cupola ship Royal Sove:
reign, lying off Osborne, accompanied by their
Royal Highnesses Princess Louise and Princess
Louis of Hesse.
The Queen embarked in the royal yacht Fair,' at
Osborne pier at six o'clock, and the yacht having
been laid alongside the Royal Sovereign, her 310
jesty and the royal party stepped on board, and
were received by Captain Sherard Osborn and the
officers of the ship, and Captain C. Coles, who ex•
plained to her Majesty the construction and
arrangement of the cupola and of the various parts
of the ship, of which her Majesty expressed great
admiration.
The Queen remained on board for some time, and
then, returning to the Fairy, cruised towards ItYde

Bruce, Baroness de Grancy, Captain von Wester'
weller, Major• General Seymour, and Colonel Sir
T. M. Biddulph.

The Queen's Visit to the Royal Sovereign.

It is well known that Captain Coles's plan was
first taken up and pressed upon the notice of
the Government by the Prince Consort—that his
Royal Highness at once saw the advantages of the
principle advocated by Captain Coles, and that, if
the country is at last in possession of a ship armed
on this principle, it is mainly due to his Royal
Highness's early Efforts in its support.
The knowledge of this fact gave a melancholy
interest to the Queen's visit yesterday to this noble
ship, and her Majesty repeatedly expressed to Cap-
tain Coles—who was on board by her special desire
—the deep interest she had taken in his success,
and her gratification to find it admitted on all bides
to have been most complete.

visiting the Queen at Osborne. and the Duke and Duchess
of Richmond at Goodwood Park, Sussex.

Manchester, and other friends who have been staying with
them during the Goodwood races, also leave to-day.

His Excellency the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne
will leave the French Embassy to-day for Paris. We
hear that his excellency will be absent about two months.
During the absence of his excellency the Marquis de Cadore
will act as chargé d'affaires.
The Duke and Duchess of Bacclench and Ladi
Victoria Scott arrived at their house in Belgrave-equar°

dence in St. James's-square, on Thursday, for Knowsley

THE FLORIDA.—The Electric Spark, which,
bound for New Orleans, was captured by the Flo-
rida, is a now ship of 850 tons burden, and, unless recap-
tured by our cruisers will undoubtedly be turned into 0.
privateer. She is admirably adapted to this business, being
strongly built and a very fast sailer. She had on board
ls e
cargo of dry goods, boots, &c., worth at least 600,000 do.
There being no hope of escaping ultimate capture, the
captain was induced to surrender by the intense terror
of the lady passengers at the firing. Private I roperty
was respected, and the crew were permitted to earl
away their baggage ; but the charts and nautical
instruments were detained. The Florida had just cora°
from Bermuda. A rebel paper of a late date (the
Carolinian) states that her complement is 130 men and
18 officers. Her armament has not been altered since 011°
went into commission, and consist of a 1201 b. Blakely ride fle
gun amidships, some metal on the bow, and six b roads
681 b. Blakely rifles. Lieutenant Morris, of South Carolina.

Captain Maffit, being now, according to cur rebel au
by
in a Confederate port, in command of a steamer owned bY
the State of Georgia, one of the fastest vessels afloat, and ill
every way adapted to the purpose of a blockade runner.
The total number of prizes captured and burnt bY the
Florida up to her present appearance, is 28, or about °°e
half of the Alabama's captures during t aree.
Her tender, the Tacony, took 21 beforebeing burnt off tilt
