SUMMARY OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

London, are, why did you diep and Twice
Killed, in which latter little Keeey is the chief
attraction, all our readers must remember.
Imperial Courfesies.- Schah of Persia
sent his little son and heir to the throne Of Err
van, to congratulate Nicholas on his late tour.
The Emperor was very affectionate, and placed
him on his knee, and the little boy, though sur
rounded by brilliant suite, was quite oyerpower-
ed and confused.
The most studied etiquette takes place between
the Pacha of the Turkish fleet and Admiral lie
Gallois, of the French. Whenever the former
goes into anchorage, the latter as quickly lets go
his cable, and then commences an interchange Of
the most courteous messages, the French sailors
meanwhile momenty hoping for chance TO pour
in broadside, while the old Turk politely de-
clines all the invitations to dinner, &c. from his
gallo escort. There is something, we should
Judge, in all this espionage infringing little on
the punctilious delicacy due from one nation to
another. France, at peace with the Sultan, has
been the aggressor, it may be said, both by the
capture Of Algiers and Constantine.
We have often adverted to the coarse vulgarity
of that mammoth journal, the London Times, in
its treatment of distinguished men, whose politics
are unpalatable to Tory taste. As recent exam
pie, he applies to Lord Brougham these lines Of
Pope's Dunciad:
No crab more active in the dirty dance 8siHi
'DownwsTd to climb and backward to advance
Hiolations Of fNeutrality.--'The London Times,
in summing up these for some years past, says:
Has not Poland been annihilated! Has not
Egypt been in rebellion against its sovereign?
Has not the Ottoman empire been diminished by
two-thirds of its possessonsl Has not the treaty
Of Unkiar Skelessi been signed? Has not the
'Egementre organique' given Moldayia and Wal
lachia virtually to Russia! Has not the conven-
ton Of St. Petersburg planted Russia among the
.Curds at the sources of the Euphrates? Have
not the French been established in Africa? Do
they not threaten Morocco and the West Indies!
Does America not threaten the Texas! Has
Greece not been plunged into an abyss of intrigue
and villainy? Has the independence of Cracow
not been overthrown? Has the nationality Of the
German States not been annihilated! Has Cir
cassia, the barrier of India, and of Turkey and
Persia, by coincidence scarcely paraleled in its
effect, not extended her arms to England for its
own protection, and for the interest of mankind!'
Add few more interrogatories: Have not
England and France conformity slaughtered the
Turks in Navarno Bay, while in profound peace
with the Sultan? Has not France sent her garri-
sons of observation to Ancona, in Italy, and to
Athens, in Greece? Has not England openly put
down Don Miguel with her troops in Portugal?
Have not the British Parliament sanctioned the
British legion at Sebastian against the Spanish
Pretender, Carlos? And so on, ad infnitum.
Let the late Schlosser matter pass for the present
The Bay Of Naples, Nov. 10th, was visited by

General Yermoloff is to command the Russian

" The Cologne .a1air.-The offences of the.
Catholic Archbishop, De Droste Vischering, of
Cologne, against the King of Prussia, were calling
the potentate hereto, and inveighing against
marriages Of Catholics with Protestants. He was
deposed and retired to Munden, his native town,
where he is treated with great respect. 1t is ad-
mitted the Prelate gave g5OOO to the poor. He
considers himself martyr; and Prussia, whose
King is protestant, is now endeavoring to con-
ciliate the Pope to the severe measure taken.
Female Sculptors.-It is thought the young
Princess Marie daughter of Louis Philippe) lust
married to the Prince of Wirtemburg, will visit
Berlin, where the numerous ancient sculptures,
it is believed will particularly attract her atten-
ton, she is expert practical sculptor herself
like Lady Damer Of that place.

Prussia has sent him the right of citizenship in a
magnificent charter, for drawing up which the

Iceland presents the curious contrast of an artic
country enclosed in thick ribbed ice,' and emit
ting streams of molten lava and sulphur from
within its burning that are thus encrusted
with ice: 4.g fri54 s,c
The Volcano called Scapter Jokul, in Iceland,
in the year 1894, sent out two great streams of|
lava, one of which was SO miles in length, from |
10 to Is in breadth, and the ordinary depth about
100 feet, but in some deep valleys it was more
than 500 feet. The other was 40 miles long, |
seven wide on the average, and about the same
depth as the first.
