religious service was celebrated
on Sunday last on
the occasion of the fete of St. Lo • ins. The holy
Father, accompanied by his personal
guard, went
to the Church of St. Louis des Fran • cam, in which
the ceremony took place, and was recei • ved by the
charge d'affaires and the members of the French
embassy. A numerous assemblage of persons
pressed around his Holiness, who received • cordial
marks of respect from all classes.
We are still without further authentic
news from
Spain, but the telegraph continues to
give pub-
licity to accounts concocted by the Government,
intended to create the belief that the insurgent
generals have been arrested, and that it is all over
with the cause of rebellion.
An imperial ordinance has been issued at Vienna,
conferring upon Baron Bengt, chevalier of the Em-

shal of the Palace.
The opening of the railway from 'Vitry to Fou-
geres has been effected under the most favourable
auspices. Some sixty years ago the country was a
wild, desolate spot, more remarkable for the out-
rages of the Chouans d

. Now
civilisation has rendere
and the seat of prosperity. This railway from
Fougeres connects that town with the lines of the
Western Railway at Vitry, between Rennes and
Laval. Its length is 37 kilometres. It was con-
structed in 13 months, at an expense of only
67,500 f. the kilometre npon the average, although
the works are very elaborate, and include a hand-
some viaduct 115 metres long.
The alleged cures of the Zonal-0 Dr. Jacob have
created unusual curiosity and attention in Paris. In-
deed the crowds of patients were so numerous in the
Rue de la Roquette, and there were so many com-
plaints of the interruption to business that the autho-
ties have put a stop to his consultations fur the pre-
sent. There is a strong belief that he has the power to
cure almost all the diseases " which flesh is
heir to," but at the same time no less an authority
than Marshall Forey pronounces his opinion that
the belief or power is an illusion. The Marshal
sent for the doctor. The patient was in his garden,
supported on one side by his stick, and leaning with
the other hand on the shoulder of his servant. The
doctor merely gave a military salute, without say-
ing a word. His only system of cure, according to
the Marshal's idea, is to make the patient exert his
weak limbs to the utmost. The Marshal did so,
but was so exhausted, that after much pain he was
compelled to sit down in an arm chair. The Mar-
shal, therefore, believes that Dr. Jacob cannot cure
anybody. Where the members are quite useless he
