The Fracas at Homburg.

Mr. Labouchere, M.P., thus writes to the Europel
of Frankfort :—" Homburg, Sept. 10. Sir, --
have noticed in your impression of the Sth of SeF;
tember a letter, signed Luigi di Baroni Farina,
who, although lie has not mentioned my name, his
related an affair in which I was engaged. I should
feel obliged by your insertion of this letter, which
gives the real facts of the case. Being at Homburg
to take the waters, I noticed a person named Farina,
seated at a table with some ladies, and knowing
one of them I thought it my duty to warn her net
to trust herself in his society. I did this because ,
knew Farina had grossly insulted several ladies, and
had succeeded in his designs by means of a base and
dishonourable kind. Farina, suspecting that these
ladies had been warned of his true character, ae"
costed the husbandalof the lady to whom I 1134
spoken, and demanded of him an explanation. 9713°
gentleman replied that he had none to give, 1:19',
that he would take on himself the responsibility
of everything that his wife had said. So soon a'
I had learnt what had taken place I said W illy
friend that it did not become a man of honour
to have any dispute with such a person as Farina'
The same evening 1 met Farina and said to hull,
' Since you desire to know who it was that said 11t
°
lady should admit you into her society, I tell you it
was I; and moreover if I see you with any lady of
my acquaintance I shall think proper to tell her 11
it. You call :yourself a baron ; you have no such
title.' Farina replied, 4My brother is a baron, at/s
I will give you a thrashing.' At the same time he
raised a cane which he had in his hand. I seized
him at once by the throat, and was about to gl"
him the punishment he deserved, when the hi"
standers interposed and pulled him off. The con -
missary of police having learnt what had transpired/
requested my attendance at his office to explain the
affair. After having listened to me he made inco
promise not to come to blows with Farina if I shollli.
meet him. I assured him that I would not, unless
Farina attacked me, and then I should take the
opportunity of chastising him. The commissary
added that, in consequence of the reports concern-
jug the antecedents of Farina, the police were in-
structed to forbid his entrance to the Kursaal until
they had been fully informed of his history. This,
sir, is what passed between Farina and me. Knowing
what I do of his history it was my duty to warn
them against him, and certainly it is not now InY
intention to re-establish him in the character of 3
man of honour. In acting thus I have followed the
advice of several military men, and English gentle:
men, who are to be found here. In the letter whit'
M. Farina has published in your journal he affects
to believe that I wished to insult his family.told
him that he was no baron ; he is not. As to 111
family I have not the advantage of knowing it ; bud
Italians have assured me that it is honourable 314
respectable. I believe it, and I regret so much the
more that I should be obliged in the interests of
l
societyito make public the truth as to Luigi di Bar°ll.
Farina. I pray you, Mr. Editor, to accept the Wif
•
surance of my highest esteem.—(Signed)
LABOUCIIERE. P.S.—lf M. Farina wishes for
judicial inquiry to be made into his antecedents ho
has only to cite me before the tribunal of this Nu°
h
try for calumny, or, should he prefer an Log
the
court of justice, I am ready to furnish him Irl'""•fh
opportunity of justifying himself in publishing Ili'
opinion of his conduct in an English journal."

TEI-XTENSION.—The new sulTsFit
cabloproposed to be laid from Franco to the 'United StAtcf.s
will extend from Brest to St. Pierre Miquelon, following
Pierre Miquelon, following a plateau which has 13e,i,3,

cable, in order to reach New York, will follow the Buglis
coast of New Brunswick and the Ameri an littoral of the
States of Maine, Now Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Cf-
necticut. At first sight it might appear desirable to ear`f
