THE PRINCESS OF LEUCHTENBERG.

•
MUNICH, him It.
Since the news of the approaching marriage of the
Princess of Leuchtenberg, daughter of the Prince Eugene
(Beau harnois), has become public in our city, the Princess
has become an object of general attention. People resort
to every place where they think they may have an oppor-
tunity of seeing tier. Prince Eugene has left so many
pleasing recollections in Bavaria, and his family is so much
beloved, that this anxiety is quite natural.
The Princess Amelia, the future Empress of Brazil,
has attained her 17th year. Her beauty, her modest grace,
the strength of her understanding, and the care which the
Princess, her mother, has bestowed upon her education•
make her at present one of the most accomplished Prin-
cesses of Germany. The good people of Bavaria view
with pain her intended departure for regions so distant ;
however, a just feeling of pride is mingled with regrets.
They tat;,, pride in the fact that Bavaria has furnished so
many thrones with beautiful and virtuous princesses. Al-
ready Italy, Austria, Saxony, Prussia, and Sweden, have
paid their tribute. It is now the turn of the New World.

It seems certain that the marriage will take place on
the 2d of August—that is, it is said Prince Charles, the
brother of the King, will espouse her by procuration.
The Queen Dowager, who is still at Bruchsal, will return
about that time.with the Princess Maria, to assist at the
nuptials of heraugust grandchild.
We are assured that it is the Empress of Austria, the
aunt of the Princess, who has made this match. Persons
in the confidence of the Princess-Mother, the widow of
Prince Eugene, speak of having seen a letter from the
Empress of Austria, in which she expresses to the young
Princess her great satisfaction which this event has given
to his Majesty the Emperor, who sees with the most lively
satisfaction that his grandchildren are likely to have a.
second mother in the person of his beloved niece.

MUCH CRY AN D LITTLE WOOL.—The Quotideenne
says that the number of speeches delivered in the French Chamber
of Deputies on the Budget was six hundred and eighty-three.
TIGHT LAC I NG.—An American paper states that a
female lately died at Baltimore of rupture of a blood vessel near
the heart, caused by tight lacing. On an examination of the body
the liver wu found forced from its natural seat.

Extract of a letter from Loudon, dated Sunday evening,
half-past seven o'clock :—" It is quite true that the Duke of Wel
lington desires to alter the tithe system; but I can state upon un-
doubted authority, that one of the conditions of the F.ldon party,
in the event of their joining him, would be a perfect abstinence
from ..11 interference with the rights and privileges of the Estab-
lished Church. I have this from a source upon which I can rely."
Dublin Evening Pest.
TILE SPIRIT OF CONTRADICTION.-0110 of the
oldest woods in England is the New Forest ; the oldest canal near
London is the New River ; and the New Road was made before
the recollection of the oldest inhabitants of the metropolis.
The character of most of the European nations may be
discovered from their popular works of fiction. " Gil Blas," the
production of a Frenchman, consists of the adventures of a
swindler. " The Decameron" of Boccaccio, an Italian, is a col-
lection of tales of intrigue. The" Don Quixote" of the Spaniards
has for its hero a madman of chivalrous notions, for which he is
continually punished by his countrymen ; while the English "Robin-
son Crusoe" exhibits a man who, by resolution and piety, rescues
himself from the most imminent dangers and trying situations to
a state of comfort.
THE MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY.—We bear that
the splendid edifice in Mosley-street, originally destined for a Royal
Institution for the exhibition of paintings and sculpture, and nearly
completed, is intended to be converted into an University. The
plan developer a general system of education, which cannot fail to
be of great utility and importance to the public, especially to the
merchant and the manufacturer.
TII E OSAGES.—These unfortunate Indians, those at
least who have come back to France, after being abandoned at
Geneva by Colonel Delaunay, who had the charge of them, are
going to return to their own country. There are three men, one
woman, and a child born at Liege a few months after their arrival
in Europe. Another child, born of the same mother, has been
adopted by a rich lady of the Netherlands, and will remain there.
It is by means of a subscription raised by the efforts of the Ame-
rican Consul at Paris, Mr. Barnett, that the expense of the return
of these Indians home will be defrayed. Since they left Paris, these
unfortunate persons have been in a very dangeroua and uncertain
state. The landlord who lodged them during their stay in the French
capital, and who was not quite reimbursed, followed them on their
journey, and from town to town, took from them all the money
they received. Afterwards this man, who ought to have paid him-
self and more, and who had kept in his possession the goods be-
longing to them, made a failure, and the moveables of these un-
happy Indians are still kept from them.
A JESUITICAL PICTURE.—Among the numerous
pictures of the order which ornament the Church of the Convent
of Female Jesuits, established for some years at Pannier. under the
ascetic name of the Nuns of Our Lady, there is a master piece
in the middle of the sanctuary, and occupying the very place re-
served for the image of the Caravels; and this painting displays to
public veneration Ignatius de Loyola, standing in sacerdotal habits,
of his natural size, trampling under his feet a royal crown and
SOW branches of the lily, and holding in his hands a large book
open, on which may be read on one side, " Ad Majorem Dei
Gloriam," and on the other, " Regnum Societe Jes." In front of
the Knight of the Virgin, and en a lower place, there is seen on
his knees, Francis Begin or Xavier, in a stole, holding on his
breast a long crucifix, and putting one between the leaves of a book
which contains the constitution of the Society. Behind him are
two Jesuits, in the dress of their Order, joining their hands over
the Code of Loyola. To the right and behind Ignatius are two
Jesuits with tonsures, one of them being prostrate with his arms
crossed over his breast, and the other standing, holding with his
left hand over his right arm, a death's head covered with a royal
crown. The top of the picture represents a glory surrounded with
angels and cherubim containing the Virgin and her Son, sitting on
a cloud. What a picture is this to be exhibited under laws which
persecute the Jesuits.—Gasztle des Cents.

SIIOCK ING ACCIDENT.—As Mr. Lowden, of Forest-
sate, near Stratford, and a friend, were driving down the Rumford
road on Thursday evening, their gig accidentally came in contact
with a cart belonging to a pig-dealer, by which Mr. L. and his
companion were both thrown out; the former was killed on the
spot, and the latter lies with but little hopes of recovery.
Yesterday a person named Gifford, was arrested in
the Consols Office of the Rank of England, on the charge of for-
gery. He applied to transfer 5001. stock. Mr. Burgess, the
Broker, accordingly transferred the Stock, but in consequence of
a previous forgery, the gentleman desired a reference, and he ac-
cordingly referred hint to Messrs. Linter, Brokers. Mr. L. upon
seeing him, recognised him as the perion who had committed the
previous forgery. He was consequently taken into custody, and
eramined before the Directors, who ordered him to be conveyed
to the Compeer.
We regret to state that an accident, which might have
been attended with fatal consequences. betel Mr. Mathews, or
Monday night. just at the conclusion of the Spring scene; as he
was in the act of making his bow to the audience, the drop scene,
by some mischance, gave way, and descending with considerable
force, struck him on the head—he remained insensible for upwards
of an hour, during which every exertion was made for his recovery
by Dr. 111agrath and Mr. Fonescue, sen. with ultimate success.—
We are happy to add that be had surmounted the effects of this ac-
cident sufficiently to perform with his usual success on the following
evening.—/Iyissinte Paper.
