from the cold but hearty North, to the warm and
glowing glories of the South into the bosom of
Italy and the gulf of Genoa ! The regions on
either side those to the west are nearly as barren
as those to the east, not excepting even France.
For, as to Spain, the lines are few and far between
and, as for Eastern Germany and its kindred wilds
of Russia, there is scarcely a line to be seen, save
where the despotic chord is the best emblem of the
Powers of darkness and superstition.

his appointment to the Presidency of the Board of Works.
We observe that Mr. Woodin is now starring it,
with his " Olio of Oddities," at Southampton.
Lord Seaton resigns the command in Ireland on
the Ist of April, and Lord Melville that in Scotland at the
same time, but the statements which have appeared with
regard to their presumed successors have no substantial
foundation, no arrangements having been yet made respect-
ing the anticipated vacancies.—.Army:and Nary Gazette.

vernment, by decree of the 13th of December, have annulled
the contract respecting the transit, entered into the 15th of
June, 1859, with MM. Belly and Thome de Gamond.

THE EXCAVATIONS AT BUDRITIII AND CNTDUS
Further papers relating to the excavations at Budrum and
Cnidus, 100 pages in extent, were laid before Parliamentsn
Friday. They will be interesting to antiquaries.
A most painful sensation was produced at Ver-
sailles the day before yesterday by the accidental death of
M. Richebourg, paymaster of the 4th Regiment of Hussars.
He was smoking a cigar at the window of an upper room,
when the hand rail on which he was leaning gave way, and
falling head foremost on the pavement he was killed on the
spot.
The Brussels letters mention that the Bank of
Belgium is expected to raise its rate of discont to 4 per cent.
next week.
The financial accounts from Calcutta by the pre-
sent India mail are only eight days later. The advance in
rupee paper has not been more than about I per cent. and
consequently all that may have been transmitted will be
likely at our prices to yield such a profit as will encourage
an active continuance of operations. The latest dates to
hand from London were by telegraph to the 26th of Novem-
ber. It will be by the mail of the 10th of December that
the most favourable quotations will have begun to be re-
ceived.
The suspension is announced of Mr. J. H. Cohn,
in the East India trade, with liabilities to the amount of
about £50,000. The estate, it is feared, will turn out
unsatisfactory.
The supporters of Mr. Love contend that the
statement published respecting the chairmanship of the
joint committe (not the joint traffic: committee) of the East-
ern Counties, Norfolk, and Eastern Union Companies
was incorrect. Their representation of the case is that the
committee, have to elect a chairman, was equally divided,
axd that Mr. Bruce was therefore appointed chairman for
the day, under protest, it being agreed by all present to re-
fer the legal' point to counsel for decisi..n.
