other sovereign. I asked her what she had done with the
papers, and she said she bad burnt them all.
The prisoner—Oh I no. I said, Mr. Holmes, I did it,
and burnt the receipts.

A correspondent of the Opinione of Turin, writ-
ing from Naples, states that the extreme party
there are selling what they call Venice bonds at
two francs each, for a revolutionary fund, and that
upwards of 19,000 of these bonds have already been
disposed of.
THE GAME SEASON IN THE EAST.—There is a
good supply of partridges awaiting their doom this
season in Norfolk, and doubtless a large number will be
brought down to-day. The past summer has been exceed-
ingly favourable for the rearing of game of every kind, and
stands out in strong relief in this respect against 1862. Not
only has the Prince of Wales secured a shooting estate in
Norfolk, but his Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh
has followed the illustrious example. The Duke of Wel-
lington has, however, left the county, having disposed of
the Clermont lodge estate, to which his Grace in former
years invited the Duc de Malakhoff and other distinguished
guests. The harvest being completed, sportsmen will have
an uninterrupted range over most of the fields, and should
to-day prove fine, some capital bags will doubtless be
made up in Norfolk, Suffolk, and the adjoining counties.
It was expected at ono Limo that the Prince of Wales would
come down to Sandringham early this monih for the pur-
pose of dealing execution among the partridges, with which
the estate abounds, and that his Royal Highness and the
Princess of Wales would come on to the Norwich festival.
The Prince and Princess seem, however, to have found su-
perior attractions in the Highlands at present.

WRECK ON THE SUSSEX COAST.—NEWITAVEN,
Monday N:ght.—Thi.3 morning, in a gale from the
S.S.W. and a heavy sea, the schooner Cestrian, of Chester,
in running for the harbour, grounded on the bar. At the
rising of the tide she drifted into dangerous breakers. As
soon as she was observed the lifeboat of the National Life-
boat Institution was promptly manned and launched, and
towed out by the harbaur steam tug. After some difficult)
and rick, the lifeboat took off the vessel's crew of five men
and safely landed them. The boat behaved admirably, and
the crew deserve all praise.

Hesse-Darmstadt and its Lawyers.

A serious misunderstanding has arisen between
the assembly of German jurists and the Grand Duke
of Hesse-Darmstadt. It would appear that already
this year before the assembling of the learned body
some differences arose respecting the reception
which they would meet with from the Government
of Hesse-Darmstadt. Whilst in Dresden two years
since they were received by the King through the
medium of u royal commission ; whilst at Vienna in
the previous yea► an archduke was instructed by
the Emperor to receive them in a most cordial and
hospitable manner, the offer made by the Minister
of Justice of Hasse-Darmstadt to greet the council
in the name of the ruler of the country dots not
appear to have been considered suitable by them.
It would seem, however, that an understanding
was arrived at, and it was expected that on the
visit of the council of jurists to Darmstadt, where a
perforniance at the theatre had been arranged in
their honour, Prince Alexander of Hesse would re-
ceive them officially. This hope was not, however,
fulfilled, and hence arose an extraordinary scene,
and a painful state of feeling in all concerned. The
Frankfort Journal gives the following account of
the matter:—

"A sad misunderstanding occurred at Darmstadt
on Thursday last. The council of jurists, who were
invited to visit the theatre by the Grand Duke, left
the house in a body. Prince Alexander wished to
receive the standing committee and the officials of
the assembly of jurists in the name of the Grand
Duke; but, as the train was a heavy one, it was
unavoidably delayed, and, unfortunately, there was
no attempt at any reception of the deputation,
which represents the jurisprudence of entire Ger-
many: The gentlemen, therefore, proceeded to the
palace in groups, where, to their astonishment,
they found the doors closed, and a servant informed
them that the Prince was not at home, and that he
had awaited their arrival, but had felt himself
obliged to proceed to the opera to receive the princes
who had in the meantime arrived at the theatre.
This intelligence was circulated through the crowd
of lawyers as they proceeded to the theatre, while
many who had not been made aware of the circum-
stances had already arrived there. Of the Congress
of Princes, the following amongst other sovereigns
were present at the theatre :—The Kings of Bavaria
and Hanover, the Electoral Prince of Hesse, the
Duke of Nassau, and the Crown Prince of Wurtem-
burg. The news of the non reception of the jurists
quickly became circulated throughout the house,
and immediately on the fall of the curtain at the
close of the first act, and as the princes were about
to retire from their seats to enjoy a promenade in
the lobby, a person arose and announced that as no
reception had been accorded to the permanent de-
putation they could not visit the house, and that on
this account the assembly of jurists agreeing with
them would leave the theatre. This they did, and
the princes were left to face the empty benches.
The council of jurists soon reassembled at the
Casino, where they had ordered a supper to be pre-
pared after the termination of the performance;
and here they were joined by the ladies, who sided
with them in their secession movement. The ex-
citement here was very great until Privy Councillor
Wachter, the president of the council of jurists,
gave the explanation es stated above. It was also
communicated to the members that the Minister of
Jastice, M. Lindelof, had given an explanation to
the effect that the prince awaited them at the
theatre, to receive them there instead of at the rail-
way station. The public feeling on the matter is
somewhat strong, and is increased by the circum-
stance that the tickets issued for the front row boxes
on Thursday evening were recalled, as the seats
were required by the Court for the accommodation
of the princes."
