THE TITLES OF DANISH AND SWEDISH PAPERS.--
We are glad to see that our foreign correspondent
calls attention to the stupid blunder so often made in our
English journals, when quoting the names of newspapers
published in the Scandinavian languages. It is a pecu-
liarity of the' Scandinavian tongues that they form the
definite article in two ways—firstly, by a separate word
placed before tke noun, and secondly (which is the most
frequent form), by affixing to the noun itself the termina-

tion en for the masculine and feminine, and et for the
neuter. Thus—Aland, man ; Manden, the man ; Trte, tree;
Trwt, the tree ; Blad, leaf ; Bladet, the leaf. It is therefore
as wide of the mark to say "The Dagbladet," as it would
bo to say, " The La Presse," or for a Frenchman to speak
of "Le The Times." We trust some of our confreres will
make a note of this; for the English papers are much read
i❑ the north of -Europe, and the mistake is a very glaring
one in the eyes of a Dane, a Norwegian, or a Swede.

A NEW " MINISTER OF MARINE."—There is a
rumour afloat, and as the idea has always been a favourite
ono with Sir John Pakington, there may be some founda-
tion for it, to the effect that the office of the Comptroller of
the Navy is to be abolished, and a functionary, with the
title of Minister of Marine, appointed in his stead. The
new official is to hive a salary of £2,000 per annum, and is
to have a seat in the House of Commons, so as always to
be prepared to give replies to questions of a technical cha-
radon—Army anc Navy Gazftte.
