FOREIGN NOTES..
THZ HOTAL TOIIII IN TEE EAST.
According to the Levant Times,c,ae visit of the Prince
and the Princess of Wales to Constantinople, which was
postponed on account of the rupture between Turkey and
Greece, will now take place. The English Ambassador at
the Turkish capital has been informed that the royal
party may be expected about the end of March.

EASTERN EUROPE.
The Cretan refugees are being taken back to their native
island in such numbers that the means of transport have
become insufficient. The Greek subjects who left Turkey
when the ultimatum of the Porte was sent to Athens are
returning also en masse. The Greeks abhor the Turks, but
they find their territory very advantageous for business
purposes. The new Greek Ministry, too, is doing as well
as can be expected under the worst of circumstances. P:ca
last traces of the late quarrel are disappearing 4
FRANCE AND BELGIUM.
The LibertJ, after a period of comparative restraint and
s;lcnce, at length comes out with one of those alarmist
articles by which M. Emile de G:rardin delights to create
disquietude on the Bourse. M. (le Girardin denies altogether
the assurances of the official papers that the Bel,g.u.n
railway affair is progTessing peacefully. The Area r
National has stated that Belgium is decisively
resolved not to recognise the Convention between the
Luxemburg and the East of France Companies. This
statement the Libcrtj holds to be correct ; but whilst the
former journal can form no other conclusion than that the
French Government, having male another mistake, must
beat a retreat, the LiberM, furiously asserts that France Call
retreat no more. If Belgium had preserved her freedom
and neutrality, perfect concord would have been maintained
between France and her weak neighbour. But Belgium,
according to M. de Girardin, has sold herself to Prussia,
and is manifesting persistent hostility to France as a con.
uquence of the bargain. It is not a question between
Paris and Brussels, but between Paris and Berlin.
The Belgian Government must recognise the treaty
between the railway companies, or, if it decline to do
so, a French army must march across the Sambre. •
The Libert4 does not explain what profit Belgium conka
look for in such a bargain with Prussia, nor does it state
for what price the smaller State has agreed to incur the
hiiitility of France, knoWing, as the Belgian Government
must know, that in these affairs the weaker party inva-
riably suffers. M. do Girardin has been unfortunate of
late in his bellicose prophecies, but a certain amount of
justification may in this case be found in the fact that the
negotiations, however peaceful, are miserably slow. The
official papers of Paris continue to assure us that the,
dispute is en vole d'apaisement, but this vole
d'apaisement seems to realise the idea of the long lane
that has no turning. The French Ambassador at Brussels
has returned to his post, and has presented a proposal to
the Belgian Government, which has responded by a
counter proposal. The Independence Beige states that the
views of the two Governments are still widely divergent,
but hopes that they will be reconciled before the end of
the week. The French Government desires that the
question should be discussed upon a basis more
comprehensive than that proposed by the Belgian
Ministry. The two Cabinets are agreed that a mixed

commission should have the settlement of all controverted
disputes. The French journals publish nothing to justify
the gloomy forebodings of the Liberty, but they have no
information relative to the present state of the negotia-
tions. Much divergent statement is still current as to the
precise points of difference.

SPAIN.
Strange as it may appear, the account of the riots in
Spain is the most satisfactory news that has been received
from that country for some time past. The attitude of
the Republican party in the Cortes had previously given
rise to much apprehension. The minority undoubtedly
strove to compensate for its small proportions by the vigour
of its opposition. It assailed the Government on every
practicable question, and it has been even feared that in
case of a king being elected, the Republicans would with.
draw from the Hcu3e and commence a civil war. These

sinister forebodings have been signally falsified. Du;ing.
the last few days the policy of abolishing conscription for

the army has been debated in the Cortes, the Government

and the Republicans taking opposite sides. But dissen-
sion has vanished on the appearance of a common peril.
Popular disturbances against conscription, the erection of
barricades, fatal riots, and general danger to public order

have united all parties. The Republicans have joined the
_ _

Monarchists in the common cause of preserving order, and

a resolution to support the Government in this respect
has been passed without a dissentient. The disturbances

have been somewhat serious, but far more important is
the spirit of patriotism which they have called forth.

THE HUDSON'S BAY TEBRITORY.
The terms which Earl Granville offers to the Hudkoa's
Bay Company are not put forward as the basis of future
negotiation. His proposal is really an ultimatum. If
either the company or the Government of the Dominion
reject it, the Colonial Secretary must procure "an authori-
tative decision as to the rights of the Crown and the com-

pang, and with this object Le will recommend her Majesty

to refer their rights for examination to the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council, whose decisions will form

a basis for any future legislation or executive action which

her Majesty's Government may find necessary." Soma

fear is exprersed in commercial circles that Lord Granville's

offer will not he accepted at the meeting of the company.
But itis clear that in any case the end of the question is at
band.

CAMBRIDGE LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.

Mr. Daymond, head master of the Albert Middle-
class College at Framlingham, makes a complaint,
which appears to be well-founded, respecting the
Cambridge examinations. He thinks that too great
a quantity of work is demanded from the students,
especially in modern languages, and the consequence is
that they fail to do it properly. The report of the
syndicate upon the December examinations has just
been issued, and it censures very strongly the
French of the junior boys. " The syndicate
regrets," so runs the report, "to find the report
of the examiners on the work done by the
boys even more unfavourable than that of last year.
Of the juniors who attempted it, one-third
failed to pass, while, on the whole, less than one in
thirty obtained marks of distinction." One examiner
asserts that a large number of papers are sent up
which are nearly, if not entirely, worthless. Mr.
Daymond, who has no reason personally to
complain, as his own pupils were remark-
ably fortunate, points out that the amount
of French and German translation demanded from
the boys is unreasonable. Last year the junior boys
had to translate the " Histoir6 d'un Conscrit," 310
pages, into English, besides answering questions on
grammar and parsing, mad putting some English
into French. The senior German students had to
translate two books of Schiller, containing 32
pages, answering the questions on histefrical
allusions and grammar, as well as ren-
dering some extracts from other German authors
into English, and translating some English into
German. Considering that modern languages are
by no means the only subjects for examination, Mr.
Daymond's suggestion that the amount of work given
out under these heads should be reduced one-half, is
wise.
