The German Papers received to-day state that pre-
parations are on foot for laying down a Railway be-
tween the Cities of Florence and Milan. In the latter
City the inhabitants are anxiously awaiting the (to
them) important event of the arrival of the Imperial
family. They anticipate a rich harvest, as the peace
of Europe is favourable to the throng and splendour of
a Coronation. We regret to learn that the zeal of the
younger Catholic clergy in the Rhenish Pro-
rinces is entirely exerted to fill the popular
mind with distrust of the intentions of the
Prussian Government. Protestants are placed under
the ban of heresy, and every argument is used to put
an end altogether to mixed marriages. On the other
hand, the emissaries of the Government retaliate with
a scorn which must greatly widen the already dange-
rous breach. The Government is blamed for its to-
leration of idolatry, and threats arc employed, useless,
except for the purpose of irritation. We fear this dis-
graceful contumacious contest will not end without
bloodshed.

The Paris Journals of Monday have been received.
Neither they, nor the Dutch Papers which reached us
last night, contain a word about the reported separa-
tion of Luxemburg from Belgium. We believe the
whole originated in the following paragraph from a
Brussels Paper of Saturday:—

" A few days ago a detachment of from 1,000 to 1,200
Prussians went with all military parade to Strasser, a village
within the circuit of the federal fortress of Luxemburg, cut
down the tree of liberty which had lately been planted there,
and carried off the Belgian flag, which was displayed at its top.
The communication of this fact to the Chamber of Represen•
tatives, at its sitting to-day, by a Luxemburg Deputy, excited
a very warm discussion, which ended in the appointment of a
Committee for the purpose of drawing up an address.
It is very likely that there were not twenty Prus-
sians, nor troops of any nation, engaged in the perpe-
tration of this outrage upon the Belgian flag. It
looks very like the result of a drunken frolic.
We find no domestic or other news in the French
paper:: worthy notice. The subjoined extracts include
the latest intelligence from Spain :
The Phare de Bayonne has the following news :--
SARAGOSSA, APRIL 22.--The division of Abecia com-
manded by General Santos San Miguel, hastily left Carinena
the day before yesterday, taking the road to Alcania and Ca-
binda. The latter place was in the greatest danger. The
iwurgennts had taken fort Santa Barbara, which was aban-
doned by the national guards, and from the frontier they kept
up a terrible fire with their artillery against Calanda. It was
seriously apprehended that the place could nut hold out above
24 hours.

I do not know whether the force of Santos San Miguel,
will suffice to beat Cabrera, who is besieging Calanda with six
battalions, 300 cavalry, and some pieces of cannon, but it was af-
firmed yesterday, that the General-in-Chief had passed
through Teruel, on the way to Calanda. If Oraa arrives in
time, the insurgents will not wait for his coming; his troops
will be fatigued, without being able to come to an action.
If Calanda fall, Semper and other fortified positions will
successively become the prey of Cabrera, who knows that the
patriots of the country and their fortunes are shut up in these
forts.._ Gazette de France.
A letter from Algiers, of 12th April, says that a very fine
road is now making from the Maison Carrie to the new camp,
which has been formed in the Hermise. Every day detach-
ments of the Foreign Legion, taken from the neighbouring
camps, are ordered to work on it. The hot weather has set

Lord CARIUNGTON's friends, We Are requested to
give the following statement I--
It is perfectly true, as stated in the Paper in
question, that the Honourable Miss JA NE SMITH
expired at Tunbridge-wells on Saturday, October 7,
and that her sister, the Countess of STANHOPE, gave
a ball at the public rooms at Deal on the Monday
night following, October 9 : it is equally true that
Lord CARRINGTON was allowed to go to, and was
present, at that ball ; but it is a fact, to be substantiated
by the written evidence of the parties concerned in the
concealment, that lie was entirely ignorant and unsus-
picious of what had occurred—the event having been
purposely concealed from him.
The Honourable Miss JA NE SMITH died, after a
short illness, early on the Saturday morning, at Tun.
bridge-wells ; and Dr. WILMOT, her physician, sent
an express immediately to London with a letter,
announcing the intelligence, which letter having been
posted in London, reached Deal Castle by the post of
Sunday morning, October 8. This letter was addressed
by Dr. WILNroT to Lady CARRINGTON, in order
that she might break it, and that the shock of a
daughter's death might not fall too abruptly on a man
of Lord CARRINGTON'S advanced age. Upon con-
sultation with, and acting under the advice of Lord
NIA HON, Lord CARRINGTON'S grandson, Lady
CARRINGTON was most unfortunately persuaded to
agree to conceal the contents of the letter until the Tue-
sday morning, October 10, on which morning it was
communicated by Lord MAHON to Lord CARRING-
TON. Since the discovery of the truth, no man can
have suffered more acute pain from the cruel, disgrace-
ful, and wanton injury inflicted upon him than Lord
CARRINGTON, and be more alive to the outrage com-
mitted, not only against the decencies and forms of so-
ciety, but against the common feelings of humanity.
His indignation at having been thus unjustly and un-
warrantably exposed, at eighty-six years of age, to a
reproach, intolerable to a parent and a Christian, may
be easily conceived by every well-regulated mind.

We have advices from Lisbon to the 25th ult. A
change has taken place in the construction of the
Portuguese Cabinet. Baron DE FOJAL, late D'OLI-
VEIRA, has retired from the Finance Department, in
which he has been succeeded by CARVALHO, and
Count BONIFIAI has, after a great deal of coaxing, ac-
cepted the not over-onerous post of War Minister.
The KING, QUEEN, and PRINCE ROYAL were in
good health, and the country comparatively tranquil.
The Iberia steamer, which brought these advices, left
Vigo on the 26th ult., six days later than the City of
Londonderry steamer with mails from Malta, which
had not been heard of at Falmouth up to Monday
evening. Serious apprehensions were entertained as to
the safety of the missing vessel.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

flOtfitTTFl V. LINGTIAM.
The Lnan CttANCbt.t.ott gave judgment this Mt:titling In this case
which was argued before his Lordship a few days since. The bill was
originally filed by the plaintif, as the owner of a ship, against the de-
fendants, for the purpose of obtaining payment of the freight. Upon
the case coming on before the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour made a de-
cree for payment ; but upon the matter coming before Lord Lyndhurst,
upon appeal, he directed a case to the Court of Common Pleas; that
Court decided that the plaintiff was not entitled to the demand he made,
and upon that judgment the case now came before the Court. His
Lordship, after going at some length into the facts of the case, stated his
opinion to be that the order of the Vice-Chancellor was erroneous, and
discharged his order. His Lordship's opinion was, that the bill must be
dismissed with costs.
