higher political circles, and that the recent change
of Government in France was in a great measure
the cause of it. Abdallah Bey had returned to
Constantinople from London, after h • aving com-
pletely succeeded in realising a loan. It was
said
that the revenues of the Custom-house of Alexan-
dria had been offered as security for it, and ac-
cepted. As this loan was concluded with the per-
mission of the Porte, it shows that there was no
truth in the statement that religious scruples had
prevented the ratification of the loan contracted at
Paris by Prince Callimachi. There was a talk of
reconcliation being likely to be effected between
the Viceroy and his uncle, Said Pacha, but both
hesitated to make the first advances. The persons
who were arrested at Said Pacha's country house
had been exiled to Sennaar. The consul-general
of France had caused a Te Deum to be sung at the
Catholic churches of Cairo and Alexandria, on the
occasion of the proclamation of the Empire ; the
Bishop of Fez, delegate of the Holy See in Egypt,
officiated at Cairo, and the Bishop of Tunis at
Alexandria. The news from Syria, to the 11th,
are in contradiction to those received from Con-
stantinople ; they are to the effect that the efforts
made by the English Consul at Damascus, on the
demand of the Turkish Government, to effect an
arrangement with the Druses, had failed, and that
a renewal of hostilities was expected.

A STRANGE CASE—A singular case has just been
decided by the Court of Appeal at Aix. Some years
ago, a gentleman of fortune adopted a female child, who
had been placed in a foundling hospital when very
young, but had subsequently been claimed by the sup-
posed mother. This child was educated by the gentle.
man, and every way treated as his own daughter, and
by the deed of adoption became his heiress. When this
deed was executed, the child was described according to
the entry at the foundling hospital as the daughter of
the female with whom she resided at the time of the
adoption. A few months ago the reputed mother was
informed that there had been an error in the identity of
her child. The girl whom she had taken from the hos-
pital was not, it appeared, her own offspring, and the
entry in the books applied to another. The real daugh-
ter, who had left the hospital arid entered into service,
not only claimed to be acknowledged by her mother,
but also demanded to be placed in the position which
the gentleman had given to another female ; and as
neither the mother nor the adopted father would own
her, an action was commenced in her behalf, and de-
cided in her favour. Again this decision the gentleman
appealed, and the Court has declared that the child
adopted by him shall retain her rights, as the error of
identity had not, as far as he was concerned, affected the
interests of the plaintiff, who could not be allowed to
assume the place of another, merely because there had
an irregularity in her description at the time of the
adoption.—Galignani.

It enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and
