the Jura is that Mons. Grevy, the Opposition can-

votes polled by his rival, Mons. Huret. The votes
of two very small communes have not yet been col-

Mgr. Darboy, Archbishop of Paris, is promoted
to the rank of Grand Officer of the Legion of
Honour.

The Count and Countess de Flandre, having left
Hungary for Italy, propose to continue their jour-

latter is to be 24 feet high, and the whole monu-
ment 150. -

The Madrid Gazette publishes the following
" The Queen, our Sovereign, the King-Consort,
and their illustrious children, in order to arrive ati
Lequeitio, embarked at St. Sebastian and had a
passage of three hours. The landing was effected
amidst enthusiastic acclamations and marks of real
affection from the entire population who crowded,
to the beach, and from a large number of steal`
craft and fishing boats dressed out with flags, which
formed a spectacle as animated as it was picturesque'
All the railway stations from Valladolid to St'
Sebastian were thronged with persons who had
come to welcome her Majesty."
