tears for that gentleman's decease, she became
Madame Wolff. Fate seems to have destined
that this lady should lose her husbands, for not
long after marriage the Wolff left his lamb,
and went either to America or California,
which place it is not known, for he forgot to leave
his address with his wife. At all events the lady
supposes him dead, in consequence of which she has
become Baroness Buloff. She has travelled in
almost all the countries of Europe, but her great
predilection appears to be for Paris. Why the
police of Paris oppose the inclination of the lady
does not very clearly appear; but no doubt they
have good and sufficient reasons for so doing. She
is equally unpopular at Brussels, for it appears
that, for some real or imaginary offence there, she
was condemned, by default, to three years' impri-
sonment. According to her own account, never-
theless, she was not at all aware of this latter con-
demnation. What she did know, however, was,
that in the month of November, 1858, she was
served with an administrative order to leave France.
She returned, however, probably thinking that,
among so many names, her real name would
be forgotten. Besides—" What's in a name ?"
Police officers have good memories, and hence her
sentence of four months' imprisonment.
The Government has for some time had under
consideration the deficiency of the means of public
worship in the colony of Algeria. Its increasing
population and great development of its resources
render it necessary to increase the number of reli-
gious edifices. One bishop is not sufficient for the
spiritual direction of so vast a territory. The Go-
♦ernment has therefore entered into preliminary
negotiations with the Court of Rome with a view
to the regulation in concert with that Court of the
canonical questions-arising out of the creation of a
new ecclesiastical province and two sees in Algeria.
The Jockey Club has nominated its committee for
the year. All the members of the old committee
were re-elected. The Marquis de Gontaut Biron
remains president, and Vincent Paul Duru vice-
president.
In noticing the brilliant ball given by M. de Goltz,
the Prussian Ambassador, I forgot to mention an
interesting incident. At midnight, during the
quadrille, the Ambassador received a telegraphic
message from his Sovereign, requesting him to
present the Empress with a bouquet on his account.
The Ambassador hastily obtained the most splendid
bouquet that could be procured impromptu, and
presented it to the Empress in the King's name, as
he was desired. Her Majesty accepted it very
graciously, and a telegraphic despatch was instantly
returned to Prussia, expressing the thanks of the
Emperor and Empress to the King for his present.
The rectificatory budget fixes at 216,809 f. 80e.
the total amount of the expenses of the extraordi-
nary budget of 1866. The excess of receipts over
expenses is estimated at 995,266 f. In the explana-
tory portion a hope is expressed that the Budget of
1866 will be in equilibrium, and that the amortisse-
ment will in future be effected by real resources
without adding to the floating debt.

MARKETS.---This Day.

MARK LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to cur market
to-day were moderate. The trade for all qualities was in
a sluggish state, and Monday's prices were barely sup-
ported.

With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup-
plien. The trade was quieter than on Monday, and the
quotations had a slight downward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain, owing to a large arrival off
the coast, were dull, at barely late rates.
Barley was in moderate supply, and slow request, at late

prices.
Malt—of which the supply on offer was moderate—
changed hand at previous currencies.
The supply of oats on sale was but moderate. The de-
mand, however, ruled quiet at late rates.
Beans and peas met a slow sale at late prices.
Flour was in but moderate request at late rates.
