DEATH OF LADY RAGLAN.—WC regret to learn
that Lady Raglan died on Saturday after a very short ill-
ness. Her ladyship was the only daughter of the late Gene-
ral the Earl Beauchamp. She was born in 1832, and leaves
a youthful family by Lord Raglan, to whom she was married
in September, 1856.

"'DEATH OF THE DUKE DE GRAMONT CARDEROUSSE,
well known on the turf and in other haunts of the
Paris fashionable world. His elder brother, who was in
the Diplomatic service, having been drowned, he came to
the title in the year 1851. The disease that carried him off
was an affection of thelungs. The title of carderousse has
expired with him. His fortune was considerably impaired
by prodigality, but what remains of it—said to be stil
something considerable—he has bequeathed to his phy-
sician, Dr. Desclot, with the exception of a legacy of
£2,000 to some other person.

The Sport says :—" Biarritz is extremely ani-
mated. The period of fetes and receptions having
passed, the Court freely indulges in all the pleasures of the
rilleggiatura. A small portion of the beau monde of Paris is
assembled at this elegant seaside resort. There are many
pleasant meetings and agreeable walks, receptions at the
Villa Eugenie, social evening and' morning parties, din-
ners, and assemblies at the Casino. The Empress as well
as the Emperor is beaming with health. His Majesty is
very gay, in excellent humour, and appears greatly to en-
joy his stay at Biarritz. The Empress is most amiable and
affable. In the morning she bathes at the Old Port, after
first holding a kind of little Court, surrounded by her ladies
of honour. In this circle may be seen persons of the
diplomatic corps and of the fashionable world and
foreigners of distinction towards whom her Majesty is
inexpressibly gracious. She freely enters into conversa-
tion, compliments the ladies, deigns to notice the toilets
which please her fancy, and by a few kind words makes
many a one happy in the eager groups around her.
THE " DINING ROOM " gives some trustworthy
details concerning the produce in 1865 of the most
celebrated Burgundy vineyards. Ilomanee-Conti
has
yielded 11 casks, or 280 to 300 dozen ; Clos Vougeot, 250
casks ; and Chambertin-Ouvrard, 20 casks. The vintage
took place on the 12th, 13th, and 14th inst., in tremendously
hot weather. The grapes were literally roasted. The
quality of iihe wine is expected to be very good.
THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD.--At the pre-
sent time the population of the world is estimated
to amount to 1,000,000,000 of persons,- speaking 3,064
;life is estimated at 33 years
languages, and professing 1,100 forms of religion. The
nqhdnuanri
quarter
of the children born die before
one-half before their 17th. Out of
the 1,000,000,000 persons living, 33,000,000 die each year,
eir
91,000 each day, 3,730 each hour, 60 each minute, and con-
sequently one every second. These 33,000,000 deaths are
counterbalanced by 41,500,000 births—the excess being
the annual increase of the human race. It has been re-
marked that births and deaths are more frequent in the
night than during the day. Calculating one marriage for
every 120 persons of both sexes and of all ages, 83,000,000
are celebrated annually.

Mn. SALA ON HIMSELF.--" Finally, will you
believe me?. The Morning Star, a proi)os of a book
I wrote on North America, after giving me a grotesque
nickname compounded of the cognomens of two notorious
liars—Mandeville and Mendez Pinto—was good •enough
lately to wonder that I should be so sensitive about being
accused of falsehood in narrating that which I had seen
in the course of travel ; so that I may be taunted for
doubting whether any testimony of mine respecting what
Mexico is or is not like can be received as credible
evidence: It is refreshing, is it not, for one whose life has
been passed in wandering up and down and going to and
fro on the earth in quest of truth, to be called by a scurrile
Radical 'Mandeville Pinto Lineage'—a 'penny-a-liner
and a ?'"—" Streets of the World," by G. A. Sala, in
Temple Bar.
The football match at Rugby, 'between the sixth
form and the school, will take place on Saturday,
