HER MAJESTY.

BALMORAL CASTLE, Sept. 21.
The Queen, accompanied by Princers Chriztitalt
drove out.

The Right Hon. B. Disraeli had the honour of
dining with her Majesty and the Royal Family.

Sic transit! The last progeny of the noble
Foscari has, according to the Gazzetta di Venezia,
been presented by Victor Emmanuel with the soil
of 500 lire. There have also been hopes held out
to him that he may have a chance of obtaining the
desired appointment of porter in the whilom palace
of Lis family, which is now to be changed into 3,
commercial school. This palace, on the Grand
Canal, is known as one of the most magnificellt
in Venice. The Austrians had used it as a bar-
rack.

An awkward, though perhaps not quite unde-
served, accident happened lately to the semi-
official North German Gazette. It gravely an-
nounced from London that in his perplexity 1111
whom to bestow the Governor-Generalship °I
India, the Premier had at last chosen " the Lord
Mayor," and that this appointment had caused la°
inconsiderable stir in London. It is obvious that
a sagacious editor or printer must have supple-
mented Lord Mayo's name with an r, inspired
.11
that unfailing faith in the potentate of the Mansion
House which still lives in the hearts of our forogi
brethren. Nor was the provincial press behindban.
in commenting on this recognition of the merits
of " the highest fuJeLionary chosen by his fe`.
lo a-s."

In consequence of the great movement of gr3lil
last year from Austria and Hungary to IVesteril
Europe a great stimulus was given to the gener3'
commerce of the Austrian Empire. Thus theb
value of the imports into Austria in 1867 was 0';
down at £30,042,595, as compared with £23,307,33'
in 1866, showing on increase of £6,735,264. rri):

The general commercial movement of the Anstrii9,

Empire thus amounted last year to £72,087tg
as compared with £60,428,137 in 1866, shevir'r-,
an increase last year of £11,659,682. The pro'
gress indicated by these figures continued citir
the first half of 1868. Thanks to the exceptinn't.„l"
o
good crop obtained in Hungary in 1867, seclero
the comparative dearth which prevailed in Weeveat
Europe, the exports of cereals amounted last Yea
to 21,185,425 centners, against 8,834,532 centil
in 1866.
