September, to consider the subject of the cattle
plague.

As at present arranged, the Emperor Alexander
will stop a day at the Palace at Fontainebleau.
There is to be another grand review on Saturday,
but probably both the Emperor and the King of
Prussia will probably return home before. The
King of Prussia is going to Liegenitz in Silesia,
to be present at a grand military fete.
Prince Humbert, eldest son of the King of Italy,
has arrived in Paris. He stops at the Italian

Embassy.
The assassin Berezowski has undergone further
examination, but nothing of importance has been
•:icited. Ile is now very calm and indifferent, and
persists in his first statement that he has no accom-
plices. - He never speaks unless questions are put to
him, and his answers are very laconic. He will be
tried before the Court of Assize of La Seine, in
the course of this month. His demeanour betrays
exalted fanaticism. He resided for a year in the
Rue Marcadet, at Montmartre, and his conduct was
always very regular. He was very attentive to reli-
gious duties, but his neighbours used to complain
that they could not sleep because he was in the
habit of reading aloud during a great portion of the
night. It appears that the person who arrested
him is M. Perseval, a plumber, who lives at Neuilly.
For 'some minutes previously to the attempt the
conduct of the assassin had excited M. Perseval's
attention. Several times he elbowed him rather
violently. His.left hand was always in his waist-
coat pocket. When the Imperial carriage reached
the spot he instantly drew out his pistol with his
left hand and fired. M. Perseval seized him by the
arm, and held him by the neck with the other till
the police came up and took him into custody.
M. Claude Auguste de Crouy-Chanel, an old
man of 74, has been convicted by the Tribunal of
the Seine on the charge of being concerned in the
frauds of the cashiers of the Sub-Treasury of the
Railways to the extent of three millions, for which
two persons have been condemned to hard labour,
one for seven years and the other for five years.
The prisoner was sentenced to imprisonment for
three years, and to give security to the society to
the amount of 10,000 f. under the head of restitution
as civil damages for part of the sum of which it had
been defrauded.
A stonemason, aged 30, went into a wine shop at
the Batigulles on Sunday evening in a state of in-
toxication and called for a glass of wine. When
he tasted it he said it was a drug, and being joked
by some other persons present, who said he seemed
to have relished the wine at other places, he threw
a bottle at the head of the wine-shop keeper, which
fractured his skull, and he died instantly.

The new racecourse at Lyons was inaugurated
on Sunday under favourable auspices. Ray Blas
gained the grand prize easily. In the Steeplechase
Milton and Betty reached the goal together, and the
prize was shared between them.

The Polish assassin is closely watched. He is in
the cell devoted to men accused of great crimes.

His cell is immediately over that which Marie
Antoinette was placed previous to her execution.
The cell which he occupies was that where Marshal
Ney, Verger, and Orsini were confined previous to
execution.

THAMES IRON WonKs.—An ironclad frigate is
now being built for the Prussiaa Government in the yard of

structor to the Navy, and will have a length of 355 ft. 10in.
a breadth of 60ft., with a draught of water 241 ft. forward
and 26ft. aft. The thickness of her armour will be Bin.,
