A London letter in the Moniteur explains the
reason why the Duke of Cambridge presided at the
dinner given in London on Monday last, on the
occasion of St. Patrick's Day :--
" When the Princf a of the Royal Family of Eng-
land are raised to the peerage, they are alwa:ys
received by three distinct titles :—first, in quality
of Dukes for the United Kingdom, and as Earls for
each of the ancient kingdoms of Scotland and Ire-
land. The Duke of Cambridge is Earl of Tipperary,
and it was under that title that he presided over the
Irish solemnity."

PRUSSIA.

The King of Prussia, on the occasion of a fete
recently given in commemoration of the 49th an ni•
versary of the creation of the Prussian Landwe
addressed on the 17th.the following autograph letter
to Field Marshal Baron de Wrangel, who preside
at it :

" The men of the oldest and the youngest classes
of the Landwehr of Berlin celebrate to-day the
49th anniversary of the creation of the Prussian
Landwehr, and as I understand that you, Field
Marshal, are to be present at the fete, I charge yo
to express to the assembly all the interest I take in
the solemnity. May the sublime example which
young and old gave when it was necessary to take
up arms, be always followed when required among
the sons of Prussia, who are assured of the gratitude
of the King and of the country.

" WILLIAM."

ITALY.
In the sitting of the 18th of the Chamber of De-
do
puties at Turin, M. Mandoj Albanese put a qu e
i" the
to the Ministers of Public Instruction an
es
Interior regarding certain occurrences at Nap
" He stated that on the 14th, the King's
birthday,
twenty-eight young ladies, receiving their educa-
tion in a convent at Naples, refused to sing the
Deem on the occasion, notwithstanding the efforts
of the directress of the establishment to induce them
to do so ; and that they instead shut themselves uP
in a room and sang aloud a Te Deem for the late
Bourbon;' a strange outburst of Legitimist feeling,
since it was tantamount to thanking God for his
dethronement, (Loud laughter.) Again, on the 15th,
in the church of San Marcellino, a preacher burst
forth into accusations and excommunications
against the Government; whereupon several young'
students began to address him, and there ensued
a violent dispute between the audience and the
preacher. Several bigoted old women proceeded
to take summary vengeance upon the students,
who, at this unforeseen attack, were too gof re-
to use any other means of defence than that
treat. They were, however, followed into the
streets
by a rabble armed with revolvers and stilettoes, and
ultimately a fray ensued, in which many of the
aggressors were disarmed, but not without some
wounds being inflicted on some of the students.
The hon. deputy concluded with asking whether
the Government bad taken measures for a better
organisation of the police at Naples.
"M. MANCINI, Minister of Public Instruction,
replied that, as regarded the young ladies, they
were the daughters of families well known. for
their strong attaament to the old dynasty, and it
was therefore no wonder that they should not be
favourable to the Italian cause. The directress
was a patriotic Tuscan, and had been sent
thither by the former Minister ; but other mea-
sures would be necessary. As for the fray
alluded to, the preacher had been arrested, as well
as the other instigators and ringleaders, and would
be rigorously tried by the ordinary tribunals.'
After a few remarks from some other deputies,
Chamber commenced the discussion on the Salt and
Tobacco Monopoly Bill, the first twelve articles Of
which were adopted,
" The late vote, consolidating the Ratazzi Mi-
nistry," says a Turin letter, " has been received .
with favour by the public. It was perhaps the
first time that the. Right, the Left, and the Ex-
treme Left had voted together. M. La Farina and
M. Crispi found themselves by exception in accord.
M. Petruccelli was the only member of the Extreme
Left who abstained from voting."

THE HOUNDS AND THE LOCOMOTIVE.—On Mon-
day last the pack ,of hounds belonging to Lord Galway,
which hunts the greater portion of North Nottinghamshire,
very narrowly escaped destruction. The meet was at
Jockeyhouse, in the neighbourhood of Selby Hall, where a
fox was found. When near East Markham the hounds
were crossing the Great Northern Railway just as the Par-
liamentary train came up from London. The train Was
rounding a curve when the hounds were seen a little ahead'
The driver slackened his speed, and the breaks were sr
plied, but not soon enough to prevent an accident. Two
valuable hounds were destroyed on the spot, and another
died shortly after by being precipitated down the embank-
ment. Three or four ethers were setiously injured. No
blame is attached to the engine driver. Had it been the
express train, which passed a few minutes earlier, the
greater part of the pack would have been destroyed.
SALE OF HORSES IN FRANCE.—The sale of the
horses comimg from the Imperial breeding establishment of
Versailles have lately attracted a considerable number of
amateurs to the French Tattersall's, where carriage.b.orses
brought from B,ooof. to 9,000 f. the pair. The.Patrie adduces
the circumstance as a strong proof that France can suffice
of herself for the necessary supply of riding and carriage°
horses, which are now brought from England at a great
cost. It recommends that two fairs for the sale of superior
horses be established each year in Paris, spring and autumn,
and that the place selected for holding them be either the
Champs de Mar; or the Palais de l'lndustrie. Lastly, it
suggests that if other sales be decided on at Tattersall's
similar to that which lately took place, seats shall be
arranged in amphitheatre for spectators, and the BUMS Paid
for entrance be given to the poor,
