the bust of BRUTUS—the Ei Lay of "Hamlet" with the
character of HAMLET left out. A hiatus so glaring
must be filled up at t he earliest opportunity.
Here, in the instance of tht " Apollo and Marsyas,"
is the opportunity made to hand. And, at the
very time that, by purchasing such a picture, we
should be enriching the ition, we should be re-
compensing at last an un fo.rtunate gentleman who
has hitherto only suffered for his strenuous efforts
to promote the interests of high art to the national
advantage. While, therefi ire, the House of Com-
mons may laugh on to its iteares content at the
double-barrelled poser thus fired off on Friday
week at the Chancellor or .the Exchequer, we
earnestly hope that the trufitet ->s of the National
Gallery will well weigh—no i natter how serio-
comic the air with which it may be tendered—the
wise advice offered to them at VII e same time by
that right hon. gentleman, viz., .that when they
purchased pictures they should purchase them of
the highest class, and that if they d.id not, they
incur a very grave responsibility.

LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received al
Mr.Reuter's office :--

PARIS, FRIDAY.

It is said that Piedmont is not to be admitted
into the Congress as one of the great Powers,
Austria and Russia having formally piotested
against her admission on any other terms thin those
allowed to the other Italian States.

The same two great Powers have also demanded
that Piedmont should not be suffered to enter the
Congress immediately on its commencement, and as
a matter of course, but should only be permitted to
take part in the deliberations when called upon to
do so.

The preliminary conditions on which Austria in-
sists render it even doubtful whether the Congress
will be feasible, one of the conditions being that
Piedmont should disarm, which she positively
refuses to do.

The steamer Tyne, from the Brazils, &c., has
arrived, and will leave Lisbon for Southampton this
day, with news to the 10th of March.

She brings 111 passengers, diamonds to the value
of £18,970, and £16,259 in specie.
The-dispute between Paraguay and the United
States has been peacefully settled by mutual ex-
plauations on the facts which had caused it, namely,
the affair of the steamer Waterwitch, and the con-
duct of the Government of Paraguay towards the
American agent who was entrusted in 1857 with
the ratification of the treaty of commerce.

The Government of Paraguay has concluded a
new treaty of commerce and navigation, and
granted concessions similar to those of other nations
whicb. have obtained commercial privileges from
the Government of Paraguay ; it has also engaged
to pay an indemnity to the American Navigation
Company, the amount of which will either be fixed
by a reference to Washington, or else will be
submitted to the arbitration of Prussia, Russia, or
England.
An accident has happened at Rio de Janeiro on
the Don Pedro Railway. The locomotive ran off
the rails, causing the death of three persons, among
