produce will be offered. Coffee and rice have re-
mained dull, at about previous rates, while few

" We have reason to believe," says the Patrie,
- " that there has been some intention both at Paris and
Madrid of an interview between the Emperor Napoleon and
Queen Isabella. That meeting, which would coincide with
the sojourn of his Majesty at Biarritz, will probably take
place in the second half of the month of August. The
Emperor would go to St. Sebastian to pay the Queen a first
visit, which her Catholic Majesty would return soon after
at Biarritz."

AN AUSTRALIAN BALL.—A ball was given recently

elaborate scale, and everything was done to insure the
comfort of the visitors. As a proof of this we read that a
number of first-class carriages, which were drawn up along-
side the platform, "formed convenient dressing-rooms for
the ladies."

IMTERESTING DISCOVERY AT POMPEll.—Abund-
ant details have been received from Naples respect-
ing the freshly uncovered temple of Juno among the recent
excavations at Pompeii. Three hundred skeletons were
found crowded within that sanctuary, a propitiatory sacri-
fice being evidently held in the hour they were over-
whelmed. The statue of the goddess, with attendant pea-
cock, the tripod in front of the altar, the golden censer, the
jewels on the person of the priestess, the rich vessels hold-
ing a deposit of animal blood, are the main particulars
dwelt on, no chapter in that awful story being more in-
structive or interesting. The eyes of Juno were of the
most vivid enamel, her arms, and her whole person richly
decorated with gold trinkets, her gaudy bird resplendent
with a cluster of glittering gems. Aromatio ingredients
lay calcinated within the censer, while gorgeous lamps and
bronze ornaments strewed the tesselated pavement.
