It is not, perhaps, known to every one, says the Presse,
that the King of Saxony, at present in England, is one of the
greatest botanists in Europe. The desire to study British
plants on the spot is, perhaps, one of the principal motives
of his journey.
The Lnpartial du Bide contains the - following Extra-
ordinary arrangements are being now made at Carlsbad, for
the grand congress of European Princes, which is to take

the two Sovereigns, and where the Emperor wits stop a few
days, to drink the waters. On quitting hissengen, the Princes

The great lion of the day at Barcelona, during the visit of
the egart, is the representative of the üblime Porte, Fuad
Effendi. • The good people of the Catalonian capital are quite
astonished to find that the report of his having brought all
his harem with him was a mere hoax. The Verdart takes
this opportunity of recording. a piece of gallantry of the
grave Mussulman, which must win golden opinions for him
amongst the fair sex of Barcelona. On being told that a
report had been current that he had brought six wives with
him, the Ambassador replied, " Why should I bring
Turkish women with me to Spain, the country of grace -and
beauty ?''

The Judicial Committee, consisting of Lord Campbell, Mr.
Baron Parke, the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, and the
Judge of the Admiralty Court, assembled to give judgment
in an appeal, which related to the validity of a codicil exe-
cuted by the late Marquis of Hertford, at Milan, on October
28, 1828, and wherein Mr. Croker was named a legatee. The•
Judge of the Admiralty Court, on the part of their Lordships,
delivered judgment, expressing their Lordships' opinion that
if the facts asserted in the allegation propounding the codicil
were all proved, they would be insufficient in law to entitle
the codicil to probate. Their Lordships, therefore affirTed
the decision of the judge of the Prerogative Court, but,• un-
der the peculiar circametances of the case, directed the costs
of both parties to be paid out of the estate.
