The Marquis and Marquise de Caux (Adelina
Patti) have arrived in Paris, and aro staying with the
marquis's step-fathar, the Duke de Valmy.
Gossir.—lt is believed that Admiral Milne will
be sent to the Mediterranean, vice Lord 0. Paget, who
has already applied to be recalled ; these are signs of the
times. If Mr. Gladstone becomes Prime Minister, it is
said that Lord Clarence Paget expects to be elected for
Anglesey to become First Lord, and that his choice for
Secretary of the Admiralty has already been made in the
person of Mr. Reed, provided that that gentleman can
obtain the necessary position of M.P.—United Service
Gazette.

TIIE GOVERNOR-GENEEALSIIIP OF INDIA.—The
London correspondent of the _Dublin Evening Mail is re-
sponsible for the following:—" I have reason to believe
that the project for providing a retreat for Lord Mayo,
which has been fur a considerable time in concoction, and
has been alternately affirmed and repudiated by his friends,
is at last likely to assume a substantial shape. if the pubic
will bear it, the Irish Secretary is to be made Governor-
GJneral of Indi I. The appointment, it is hoped, may be
effected quietly in October, when attention will be absorbed
by the prep.trations for the general election."

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A MILL OWNER.—We are
sorry to announce the death of Mr. Joseph Here, of Fleet
Mills, Oulton, near Leeds, formerly of Castleford. It ap-
pears that immediately after dinner on Monday the de-
ceased gentleman was in an upper story of the mill, when
either by accident or by a fit he fell from a landing stage
and alighted upon his forehead ; he was taken up insen-
sible and remained in that state until his death, which
took place on Wednesday morning last.—Yorkshire Post.
La France states that the Emperor employs his
leisure at Plombieres in organising plans for an Academy
of Agriculture. It is to consist of forty members, chosan
from the agricultural boards in every part of France.
