The King of the Hellenes,

It is not certain whether King George will visit
the Queen at Windsor or whether he will join the
Court later at Balmoral. His Majesty is at present
paying a short visit to his relations at Rumpen-
heim ; but in consequence of the unpleasant relations
between the German States and Denmark, and also
the position of Greece itself towards the ex-King-
Otho, it has been determined that the King of the
Hellenes shall stay but a few days at Rumpenheim.
The vote for the annexation of the lonian Islands
cannot be taken before the second week in October,
and his Majesty intends to arrive at Athens imme-
diately after that event.

His arrival here may be looked for either during
the Queen's stay at Windsor or immediately after
her Majesty's departure for Balmoral. In either
ease King George would go to Scotland to take
leave of the Princess of Wales.

PARIS, Sept. 1.

The Empress Eugenie is travelling to Biarritz
under the strictest incognito. The authorities at
Orleans received notice not to make any preparation
for her lajesty's reception.
The marriage of the reigning Count Osten de
Stolberg-Wernigerode, with the Princess Anna de
Reuss, was celebrated last week at Stonsdorff, in
Silesia.

BERLIN, Aug. 31.

A despatch from Baden-Baden states that the
King left there this morning on a visit to Queen
Victoria at Rosenau. It is expected that his Majesty
will remain but a few hours at Rosenau, and that
he will leave Coburg in the evening on his journey
to Berlin.

The Marchioness (Dow.) of Normanby is staying
at Hamilton Lodge, Kensington. Her ladyship's health is
greatly improved.

The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield have a

select party assembled at Bretby Park; near Barton-upon-
Trent) for the Derby races.

_ -
The Earl and Countess Grey will return to
Howick Hall, Northumberland, the week after next, from a
tour in the north of Scotland.

Viscountess Clifden gave birth to a eon and heir
yesterday afternoon, at Dover House, Whitehall. Her
ladyship and infant son are progressing favourably.

Lord. and Lady Stanley of Alderley, and the
Hon. Misses Stanley are expected to return home from their
tour in Germany early in the ensuing week.

The Right Hon. Charles P. Villiers, M.P., left
town on Tuesday night, to pass a few weeks at Spa, in
Belgium.

We understand a marriage is arranged to take
place between Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Henryßyng, of
the Coldstream Guards, second on of the Earl of Strafford,
and the Countess Henrietta Danneskiold, eldest daughter
of Count Christian Danueskiold Samson, and niece of the
Marquis of Ailesbury. •

THE Catholic bishops have decided, at their con-
ference in Dublin, to complete the Catholic University,
and erect a building at a cost of £lOO,OOO. They expect to
raise the sum in five years by collections in Great Britain,
America, and Australia.—The Reader.

Parisian society has just sustained a loss by the
death of the Marquise de Grammont, at a somewhat
advanced age. The deceased lady was eldest daughter of
the Due de Crillon, and in 1829 married the Marquis de
Grammont, deputy for the Haute-Saone, and head of a
noble house, but who bears no relationship to the family of
Gramont of Navarro, or to that of Gramont-Caderousse.
The Marquise de Grammont leaves four sisters, married re-
spectively to the Marquis de Chanaleilles, the Due Pozzo
di Borgo, the Due de Caraman, and the Comte de Levis-
Mirepoix.

A RED RAINBOW !—A curious and rare pheno-
menon was observed on the 25th of June last by
Dr. Mohe of Coblentz, in the shape of a completely red
rainbow formed by the rays of the setting sun. The ex •
terior outline was well defined ; but in the interior the
colour faded away towards the centre. The secondary
bow, equally red, was observed only at intervals; the two
were separated by the dark band observed on former occa-
sions. We need scarcely remark that monocromatic rain-
bows are very rare.
TOMB OF LEONARDO DA VINCI.—The Gazette des
Etrangers says :—" An important discovery in the
history of art has just been made. A few months back M.
Arsene Houssaye was commissioned by the State to direct
researches at Amboise (Indro-et-Loire), with the object of
finding the tomb of Leonardo da Vinci, the position of
which was unknown. Last week the pursuit was crowned
with success. A sort of case, found in an old church at
Amboise, and containing a coffin, was pointed out to the
notice of M. Houssaye. An inscription on the lid of the
coffin is said to leave no doubt of the authenticity of the
remains which it contains. Thus are refuted, as was ex-
expected, the suppositions that Leonardo ea Vinci had died
elsewhere than at Amboise."

THE CONGRESS AT MALINES.—Major O'Reilly,
in a letter to the Morning News, says :_" As I per-
ceive that my name has been mentioned as one of the Irish
who had purposed attending the Catholic Conference at
Malines, will you allow me to explain, through your
columns, that not only had I purposed doing so, but had
devoted what little leisure I possessed to preparing materials
for a paper on the progress of Catholicity in Ireland since
the commencement of this century. Unfortunately, the
very serious illness of one of my children compelled me, at
the last moment, to abandon my intention. The rector of
the Catholic University of Ireland, who had also made ar-
rangements to be present, was likewise obliged, by urgent
business of the university, to remain in Ireland. I felt the
more this disappointment, as I had taken the deepest inte-
rest from the first in the project of my Belgian friends,
which has produced such glorious results."
A MAGNETIC MOUNTAIN has been discovered to
Swedish Lapland, on the left bank of the Rautus-
johi; and the vein, which is several feet thick, promises to
be one of the richest scurces of natural magnets at present
known. Mr. Berg, to whom it belongs, hopes to obtain.
frem it enough to supply specimens to all the collections in.
Europe. Among the facts mentioned in proof of the mag-
netic force which these magnets derived from this source,
it is stated that a galvanometer traverses 10 degs. or 15 degs.
in their presence, and that a contact of a few minutes ire-
parts a sufficient charge to a piece of soft iron to enable it
to support a weight of one or two Swedish pounds. A.

Berlin has already possessed himself of one weighing 66
Swedish pounds; the price varies from eighty centimes to
three francs the kilogramme. The Abbe Moigno, from
whose admirable journal, Les illendes, we have berrowed
the above account, remarks that the extraordinary mag-
netism of this mountain suggests the question whether the

we have not only not eggs enough for the very
limited use we make of them in. our cookery, but are import-
ing theta to the value of more titan half a million of pounds
sterling a-year ?In the last table of imports, the number
for 18G1 stands as 203,313,300. Ido not forget that eggs
aro largely used for some of our manufactures; but that
dues not affect the question why they are not produced at
home. Upwards of two hundred millions of eggs pro-
duced for us by foreigners, while Englishwomen are want-
ing employment at home I Surely this is a mistake which
must soon be rectified I The thing is, we have not studisd
the art of poultry-rearing as fereieners have, and as A!'°
ought to have done long ago. Even at this day, I oil
occasionally asked whether 1 believe in the posslbility of
regularly inducing hens to lay all the year round, and even
whether it is possible to obtain a succession of eggs through
the tour seasons. Suoh points should not be left for
foreigners to answer at this time of day.—Once a Week.
FORTUNATE RESCUE AT CEA.—The Phare de 14
Loire states that on the 20th ult. Capt. Lev eque, command-
ing a vessel sailing from St. Maio, while in lat. 37.16 S.,
long. 15,50 W., saved 13 men, forming the crew of the
