TILE ITALIAN MINISTRY.

General Menabrea has resigned, and is about tofrecon.
stitute his Cabinet, of which Signor Ferraris will be a
member, and which will henceforth receive the support of
the Piedmontese deputies. This change, which we an.
nounced some days ago, is highly 'important.
Ever since the seat of the Italian capital was
transferred from Turin to Florence the Piedmontese
deputies have held aloof from the Government, and have
voted invariably with the Opposition of all shades, though
holding very dissimilar political opinions. This state of
things will now come to an end. The wandsXing Pied-
montese sheep will return to the Ministerial fold, and the
Government will now have the complete command of the
Chamber—too much so, perhaps.

TUE BRINDISI OVERLAND 'tout.

The representatives of Governments and railway COM.
panies interested in the overland route to India by Brig.
disi have held conferences for some time past at Munich
and Stuttgard. The Railway News says that, as the result
of the deliberations, it is now proposed to run a train
daily to and from Ostend and Brindisi. The train will be
in communication with the 7.25 a.m. train from London
and the 2.45 p.m. train from Ostend. The whole distance
from London to Verona by this train will be run in 54
hours. A special weekly train to meet the Indian mail
at Alexandria will leave Verona on Saturday. Alexandria
will be reached at the same time as by the steamer from
Marseilles on Friday. The sea voyage will this be

lessened by seventy hours, and the net gain will be twelve

hours,

NINE SEATS AND ELEVEN RIINDBED CANDIDATES.

Paris is divided into nine circumscriptions or boroughs,
each returning one member to the Corps Ldgislatif. For
'these nine seats there are now, says the correspondent of
the Daily .News, about eleven hundred candidates !
The statement appears extravagant, absurd, and
inexplicable, until explained. A very remarkable
illustration of politics under the Second Empire,
the explanation is. It is enacted that no person can be..
come a candidate for the Corps Legislatif without first
taking the oath of allegiance to the Emperor, and no
voter can attend a public electoral meeting except in, bia
own circumscription, unless be be a candidate. The
Republicans of Paris therefore take the oath, and
become candidates en masse for circumscriptions
in which they do not reside. An elector of circumscxip.
tion No. 1 is not eligible to attend an electoral meeting in.
any district of Paris other than his own, but if he declares
himself a candidate for circumscription (say) No. 3, and
sends in his oath, which costs nothing, he has a legal right
to go to all electoral meetings there, and the Government
cannot stop him without violating its own " charter and
the city's freedom." Hence this wholesale multiplication
of candidates, only two or three dozen of whom expect to
receive a vote, or, indeed, to be heard of in the political
world.

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Ant ual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :-
1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,8?3,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even loss
than for many years past.
3. On the other band, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than
£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence.
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,906.

The following are among the distinctive features of the
society :
CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of
Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain
on credit.
ENDOWMENT ASSURANCE 3 may be

without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay-
able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned
to the increased risk.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.
Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained

ART AND LITERARY GOSSIP;

Nearly six thousand visitors paid their shilling at the
Exhibition of the Royal Academy on the opening don
and catalogues were sold to the amount of about £l5O.
Acid the free list to the number, and it will not be
surprising that the galleries, spacious as they are, were
at some part of the day somewhat overcrowded.—Mr;
E. P. Shirley, in his " Noble and Gentle Men of
England," can find at the present time only 350 families'
including Peers and Commoners, who have held landed
estates in unbroken male descent from a date anterior
to the breaking up of the monasteries uder,,
Henry VIII. Of these gentlemen, exactly 1'
per ceut. are Roman Catholics.--At their meet•
ing last week, the Royal Society filled up
the three vacancies in their list of foreign members 11
electing Alphonse de Candolle, (of Geneva), Charles
EugZifie Delaunay (of Paris), and Louis Pasteur (of Paris);
the first being eminent as a botanist, the second as s
mathematician and physical astronomer, and the third ass
chemist. The number of foreign members is limited to 50.
By this election the list is therefore once more complete.
—The AcaUmie des Beaux Arts, to which body the,
Emperor has entrusted the awarding of the prize
100,000 f., to be bestowed on whatever work of painting,
sculpture, or architecture would he deemed most wortbY,
has declined the responsibility of adjudging the imperial
gift.—The project for establishing a large aquarium
at Brighton is taking shape. The old companY
is broken up, and a new company, which proposes to
raise £400,000 as a beginning, has been formed. A bill t°
carry out the work is now before the House of Commons.
—A continental journal states that Victor Emmanuel
was lately obliged to confess that he did not know wll°
Pliny was, and thought that it was but four or five
centuries since Herculaneum and Pompeii were buried.--
The Achille Lecnre prize for the best design for
monument in honour of the late composer Rossini has
been won by M. Dillon. The work is to be placed in
garden, and the statue of the maestro is placed in a kind
of temple. In the intercolumniations of the colonnade
which surrounds the principal statue are four figures
representing the four chef-d'oeuvres of the master--
" William Tell," "The Barber of Seville," " Moses," and
"Semiramide." On the central pedestal are inscribed
the title of Rossini's operas.—The Rev. D. Silvan Evans,

NINE SEATS AND ELEVEN HUNDRED CANDIDATES.

Paris is divided into nine circumscriptions or boroughs,
each returning one member to the Corps Ldgislatif. For
these nine seats there are now, says the correspondent of
the Daily .News, about eleven hundred candidates !
The statement appears extravagant, absurd, and
inexplicable, until explained. A very remarkable
illustration of politics under the Second Empire
the explanation is. It is enacted that no person can be.
come a candidate for the Corps Legislatif without first
taking the oath of allegiance to the Emperor, and no
voter can attend a public electoral meeting except in his
own circumscription, unless he be a candidate. The
Republicans of Paris therefore take the oath, and
become candidates en inane for circumscriptions
in which they do not reside. An elector of circumscrip-
tion No. 1 is not eligible to attend an electoral meeting in
any district of Paris other than his own, but if he declares
himself a candidate for circumscription (say) No. 3, and
sends in his oath, which costs nothing, he has a legal right
to go to all electoral meetings there, and the Government
cannot stop him without violating its own " charter and
the city's freedom." Hence this wholesale multiplication
of candidates, only two or three dozen of whom expect to
receive a vote, or, indeed, to be heard of in the political
world.

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 10, 1869.

Although essentially in its character a non-poli-
tical Pleasure Excursion, the recent tour made by
,heir Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of

WALES through Egypt, through Greece, through

France—to Cairo, to Constantinople, to Athens, to
Paris—an excursion in the course of which they

have been the honoured guests, successively of
the PACIIA, the SULTAN, the Ilcllenic KING,

and the French EMPEROR —has been, dis-
tinctly, in furtherance of the interests of Peace,
and in confirmation, one after another, of our amic-
able relations with four of the reigning Sovereigns,
or Chiefs of Government. During the interval

of this holiday, journeying through eastern

Europe, and then homewards across Franco the
future Sovereigns of this country have enjoyed the
opportunity, first of all, of examining, immediatelyprior
to its inauguration, one of the grandest engineering
feats of the Nineteenth Century, and afterwards of
familiarising themselves with those historical scenes
in the Crimea associated with the last of our great heroic
glories, the siege and the eventual capture of the stu-
pendousfortidcations,of Sebastopol. Closely related, as
their Royal Highnesses are, to the still stripling Sove-
reign of Greece, their visit to King GEORGE at Athens
naturallypossessed a peculiar interest of, its own,coming
as it did, so immediately after the hair-breadth extrica-
tion of his forces from the peril of collision with those
of a far more formidable power, the power of the
Sultan Caliph, ABDUL AZZIZ. Extric ited, Greece

and Turkey were, from the otherwise inevitable

necessity of open war, by the opportune interposi-
tion of European diplomacy. And it was almost, as
it were, in testimony of the sincerity of the recon-

ciliation effected, at any rate for the time
being, between the Ottoman Porte and the
Hellenic Monarchy, that the Prince and Prin-
cess of WALES, the sister and brother-in-law of King
GEORGE of Greece, immediately after their having
partaken of the hospitalities of the SULTAN, visited
their Royal relative at Athens—proceeding, directly
and quite naturally, from the Bosphorus to the
Piraeus. Having been feasted on the banks
of the Nile, within view of the Golden llcru,
and under the shadow of the Acropolis, the
Heir Apparent to the Crown of England, and his
Consort, immediately before returning homewards
across the Channel, have just now celebrated the
close of their delightful tour through Egypt, Turkey,
and Greece, by beComing the guests for a while,
within these last few days, of their
Majesties of France, the
111. and his Conscrt the Empress EUGENIE. It is
but just and fitting that theirroyal highnesses should
thus have indicated their cordial friendship for the
Imperial dynasty of the BONAPARTE'S, by paying a visit-,
immediately before crossing over to England from the
European Continent, to the mostsineere andfaithful of
all the allies this country has had during these lasttwo

decade::--in point of fact, ever since the reigning
Sorereign,of France
_attained power as the deli-
berately chosen head of the French Government. In

A CURIOUS LAW SUIT.

Early in the present century a fund
.of. several
thousand pounds was formed to support a minister who
should conduct divine service in Gaelic at a chapel in
Hatton-garden, London. The first incumbent, who
did not have the Gaelic, was the famous Edward
Irving, who, however, offered to go to . Inverness-
shire and learn it, if necessary. At the time of the
disruption the Gaelic preacher, a Mr. Lees, who was
also secretary to the Caledonian Asylum, got a pre-
sentation to a Highland parish/ and, in the dearth
of Gaelic-speaking clergymen at that time, no
substitute was forthcoming. After a year or two an
application was made to the Lord Chancellor, in
whom the fund was vested, to transfer the interest
thereof to the Caledonian Asylum, which was done,
and this really valuable charity has ever since received
it. But the revival in favour of the ancient language
of the Highlands, which has been so marked a
feature of Anglo-Scotticism of late years, hasstimu-
lated an inquiry into the possibility of restoring the
fund to its original purpose. Counsel's opinion is
favourable to the restoration, and the matter is likely
to be heard of in a court of
CHURCH NEWS.
The John Bull states that at the meeting of
bishops which took place at Lambeth Palace on.
Ascension Day the Irish Church Bill was the promi-
nent subject of discussion. Every bishop remained
distinctly unfettered as to the course he should
adopt, but the general feeling seemed to be that if
the second reading in the Lords were allowed to pass,
and substantial amendments not only adopted but
insisted on, the best
practical results might ensue.
At the same time, the danger of admitting the prin-
ciple of the bill was fully recognised. This course,
we understand, may not improbably be adopted by
the Conservatives, though it is almost certain that
someindependent peer will divide the House."
The Archbishop of Canterbury has invited all the
deans. to meet him at Lambeth to-day. This
invitation has, no doubt, reference to the scheme
which is now on foot for creating new bishoprics
out of the cathedral revenues. These revenues at
present are used merely for the payment of sinecure
office( and the idea is that they might be more
usefully applied in relieving the overworked bishops.
There are, according to the John Bull, two plans for
the creation of three or four new sees under considera-
tion. The one is to make the Chapter funds of some
of the richer cathedrals available for a local want ; the
other is to suppress two canouries throughout
England, forming a general fund which would
enable the bishop to have the ancient ecclesiastical
council to assist him. We do not clearly understand
this latter alternative, except it implies the appoint-
ment of suffragan bishops. Anyhow, as our con-
temporary points out, the Liberal party is not
likely to allow the cathedral revenues to remain
untouched unless they are turned to some better use
than they are at present.
