A letter from Rome states that the demands of
the Government of Baden relative to the concordat,
and the concessions made by the Holy See being
widely at variance on certain points, Cardinal
Reisach has broken off the negotiations. An ulti-
matum has been since sent by Cardinal Antonelli
to the Baron de Berkheim, the Baden Minister,
who has referred it to Carlsruhe for consideration.

A Vienna letter of the 25th says :—" Count de
Kisseleff, the Russian Plenipotentiary at the Con-
ference of Paris, has arrived here, and yesterday
had an interview with the Minister of Foreign
Affairs. He will proceed from this city to Warsaw.
The motives which have led to his visit to this
capital are not known, but it is conjectured that
they are connected with the treaty of the naviga-
tion of the Danube."

The election of the new Regents of the little
Republic of San Marino lately took place. They
are—Philip Beluzzi and Pasquale Marucci, both
lawyers. Their names were drawn by lot.

Advices from Vienna confirm previous reports
touching the projects of Austria for the increase of
her maritime power and cite the fact that the
young Archduke Louis Victor has entered the
naval service as lieutenant of a frigate.

Parliament-street, to Westminster-hall. Baron Watson

GALWAY.—The steamship Propeller has arrived
from Boston and St. John's, Newfoundland, having made
the passage from the latter port in six days.
THE EMPRESS ELIGENIE.—The correspondent of
the Ilfanchestei• Examiner writes :—" It may be worth
mentioning for just what it is worth, that I was told the
other day by a friend who has just returned from the south
of France, that it is whispered at Biarritz that the Empress
Eugenie is again in a condition to afford hopes that the Im-
perial dynasty of France may cease in due course to hang
on the single life of the young prince. There is no doubt
that the birth of another prince is the object of the Empe-
ror's most ardent desires."

BRIGHTON.—The town continues to fill with
visitors, and there has been no cessation in the tide of
fashion for the last three weeks. The marine drives and
promenades present daily a scene of fashion and gaiety not
to be witnessed in_any other town in England, and we may
safely assert not in any town in the habitable globe, as a
maritime resort.
AN ARAB TRAGEDY.—An Arab, named Djelloul
ben Mohamed, of Bou Nona, a few miles from Algiers, was
last week tried by the Court of Assizes of that city on the
charge of cutting and wounding. The circumstances of
this case were almost incredible :—He lived, it appeared,
in the same gourbi as his brother and his brother's
wife, and he conceived a violent animosity against the
woman. On the 2d of July last, during his brother's
absence, he lighted a fire and made a sickle red hot.
He then seized his sister-in-law, bound her hand and
foot, and fastened hGr with her head downwards to the
pole which supported the roof of the gourbi ; then,
stripping off her clothes he passed and re-passed
the red-hot sickle over her person, inflicting dreadful
bums ; he next took a stick and beat her in a savage man-
ner, after which he unbound her and made her give the
breast to her infant. At this moment his brother came in,
and he, seeing his wife in such a deplorable plight, rushed
on Djelloul. A fierce struggle took place between them ;
but some persons who were attracted by the noise coming
in separated them, and Djelloul was taken into custody.
He at once related what he had done, and said first that his
reason was that he had caught his sister-in-law in the very
act of adultery with ono Bel Kassem ; but afterwards varied
his statement, and declared that he had long suspected her
of having a criminal connection with that man, and had had
his suspicion confirmed by seeing him leave the gourbi. He
was not, however, believed, as the woman was known to be
strictly virtuous. The victim of his cruelty said that the
man's reason was that she had indignantly repelledm -
proper advances which ho had made her. The injuries
re-
ceived by the woman were of the gravest character, and
the
she
is still confined to her bed. The Court condemned pri-
soner to 15 years' hard labour.
_ NEW MEMBER OF THE METROPOLITAN BOARD
or WORKS.—At a meeting of the members of the Ber-
mondsey district Board of Works, on Tuesday evening,
Mr. Churchwarden Peacock in the chair, Mr. Cyrus Le go.
was unanimously elected to represent the district at theb
Metropolitan Board of Works, vacant by the resignation of
312., Jenjaalill Drew) the former repreeehtataye,

old maxim, still in favour at certain Courts which
have forgotten the fate of Charles the Bold and his
Burgundian dominions,"

The Madrid journals of the 25th contain adver-
tisements of the great public meeting which the
Government had permitted the Progressist party to
hold ; they are signed by M. Olozaga, as president
of the Progressicta election committee, and by M.
Asensio, as secretary of the same. The latter is
editor of the Iberia, which is now in opposition to
the Cabinet. The committee had petitioned for
the use of the Royal Theatre. The Government,
unwilling, perhaps, to evoke the recollections of
the tumultuous scenes and ultra-revolutionary
speeches of 1854, refused to grant leave, al-
leging that the Theatre Royal was the property
of the State, and not made for electioneering meet-
ings. It being expected that the elections would
attract a swarm of suitors to the Ministerial offices
at Madrid, the Minister of the Interior had issued
a circular directing the civil governors of the pro-
vinces not to grant leave of absence to any of
their employes, and to recall those who had already
received leave ; at the same time to inform the
latter that they will forfeit their situations if they
are absent beyond the time strictly necessary for
their return to their duties. From the number
of advertisements for contracts in the Gazette
it appears that no small- activity is prevailing in
the department of Public Works. The scarcity of
specie in the northern provinces, which has been
much:complained of, has ceased ; it was, it appears,
occasioned by speculators having exported large
quantities of coin. A letter from a Ministerial
source says :—" The journals still continue to deal
forth two or three daily columns of remarks on the
circular of the Minister of the Interior to the go-
vernors of the provinces, and which, as it is a sort
of programme of the Ministerial policy,will be long
before it is exhausted. This document is attacked
by one or_ two liberal prints, whose directors have
been disappointed at not, like the editor of the
Clamor, having obtained some Ministerial favour
commensurate with their ambition. The absolutist
journals, which have in their vituperation of the
Ministry generally made an exception in favour of
the Premier, have been unsparing in their animad-
versions since the publication of the circular has
proved to them, without any doubt, that the mar-
shal has determined upon working out his long-
cherished idea of governing the nation with the
best men he can find without reference to party
politics. It is amusing to read the pompous and
wordy declamations in which these journals pro-
phesy the downfall of a Cabinet under the auspices
of which the funds rise, work is abundant, and
public confidence strong, notwithstanding the
difficulties and disorganisation created by their
predecessors. It is not, however, to discussions
that public interest is at present directed, but to
the elections, which are everywhere the topic of
conversation."
