The Madrid journals of the 7th make long ex-
tracts from the "defence" of Queen Christina,
published by M. Cortina and her Majesty's other
advocates. In the said extracts, an effort is made
to prove that the Queen did not, as she is alleged
to have done, abstract any portion of the royal
patrimony. A royal decree enacts that the Minis-
try of the Interior shall consist of three chief " sec
tions"—one of administration, the other of govern-
ment, the third of " Charity and Health ;" and of
three directions—one of the post-office, the second
of penitentiary establishments, and the third of
telegraphs. The Gazette announces that the Queen
of England had granted a gold medal to Captain
Barairez, of the Adan merchant ship, for having
given assistance to the wrecked crew of the Euglisb
ship Betsy. It was said that Don Henry was to be
allowed to reside wherever ho might think fit.

A letter from °attar() of the 2d, in the Austrian
Gazette, says :—" Zacharka, the new Woiwode of
Wassozewie, has just made known at Cettinge
that twolof the tribes of that province have broken
truce with Turkey, and made an incursion on the
territory of Podgoridza, where they spread fire and
slaughter in all directions. Prince Danilo has sent
a commission to the spot to ascertain the real state
of things and to punish the chiefs of tho two tribes
for having acted without his permission."

The Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna of the 7th says :
—"The signing of the treaty concluded between
the States bordering the Danube, relative to the
navigation of that river, has been hitherto delayed,
in consequence of the Porte not having sent its
powers. They having arrived, the commissioners
assembled yesterday, and the document was duly
signed by all the parties concerned."

I..dvices from Naples of the 7th state that the
Infanta Amalia, married to Don Sebastian, died
the day before of bronchitis. The Grand Duchess
of Tuscany, her sister, and the Count de Trapani,
who had left Florence to visit the illustrious patient,
arrived too late.

A St. Petersburg letter, in the Neu, Prussian
Gazette, says :—" The expectation which has been
gradually gaining ground of the speedy suppression
of slavery has become a certainty since the return
of the Emperor. Ih is now known that his Majesty
is firmly resolved on this reform, and it is thought
that the 18th December, the fete-day of the Em-
peror Nicholas, has been fixed on for the publica-
tion of this measure, because his late Majesty,
,when
on his death-bed, recommended it to his son.

The Cologne Gazette announces that the health
of the King of Prussia is every day improving, and
that the court will shortly ramove to Cha.rlotten-
burg. The old road by the Grunuewald is being
repaired for the purpose. The Prince of Prus±ia
will at the same time take up his residence at Berlin.

A man was on Monday tried by the Tribunal of Cor-
rectional Police for a somewhat singular species of usury.
The paolisher of M. Till( rs' " Histoira du Consulat et de
l'Empire" allows the poorest class of purchasers to pay
for tho work in twenty-four monthly instalments of 51. ;
and several non commissioned officers of the 94th Regi-
ment purchased it on those terms. One of these me,
being one day in want of money sold hie copy to tt.
prisoner fur 60f. Some others fleecing of this, went to
the wan, and on condition of his paying the 601. down,
made subscriptions to the work to be paid month by
month, le ,ving him to take the copy to which they were
entitled ; they thus in reality had to pay 1201. for an
advance of 60f. The tribunal condemned the man to
two months' imprisonment, and 300 f, fine.
