English, who, although always ready with their
purses, were obliged 10 put up with an uncomior-
table nights lodging, there being as yet but a
very limited number of hotels established. The
San Carlos Theatre has Just produced new opera
entitled "Margherta deglAragonesi," the music by
Battesta, with La Goldberg as prlma donna. The
work favorably received, and is likely to have
a successful career
A letter from Stockholm, of the lst inst, says -
" The cold continues here. At 40 miles north OF
Stockholm, we have had for the last three weeks a
cold OF 40 degrees. AT Stockholm itself il has
been at from II to 20. The sea, between our coast
and Aand, is entirely frozen over, and the ice is so
strong hat few days since, the mailcoach TO u.s.
STA, drawn by four horses, travelled for 10 miles
over it-namely, from Ekero to Grlilelham."
Germany.
The Mannheim Journal states, from Vienna, that
the first prize (25O, OOOr) OF the State lottery Tor
1899, which was drawn on the lst. inst, has been
gained by the house Of Rotischid.
We read in a Berlin letter of the 7h inst, pub
lished by the Bremen Gazette -" The Queen OF
England and Prince Albert are expect at Berlin on
18th of May Ii is not intended to attach any pohtl-
cal Importance to this visit. The Emperor OF Rus
STA will arrive at about the same time The Queen
Of England will visit the banks the Rhine"
The King of the Netherlands has just sent out a
vessel with presents from the Emperor OF Japan.
They consist principally of candelabras and other
sruments in astronomy, Nc, and filling altogether
Is cases. Amongst the presents is the Kings por-
trait.
Hungary.
An important measure has been recently adopted
by the Hungarian Diet. Hitherto the mobiles of
Hungary who are very numerous, many even OF the
smallest farmers being noble, have been exempted
from the payment of taxes The Diet has resolved
that this sha II no longer be the case; but the amount
and mode OF taxation remain to be decided.
Sardinia.
The Sandman government has Just contracted
per cent of loan of l,OOO,OOOf (El6O, OOO), por-
ton OF which is to be paid OIL annually by lots dur
ing a period of "a years, until the whole is REM
bursed. The object of this loan is to provide fund
tor public works oil utility.
We lean from Russia that the Emperor has is
sued an ordonnance suppressing upon the European
frontier of his dominions the duty hitherto levied
upon the Importation OF horses.
The LIST of last month being the Tooth anniversary
OF the incorporation of New Russia with the Rus
sian empire, was celebrated with some pomp at
Odessa. The Odessa Journal gives the following
comparative account of the state of the country 100
years back and at present. -" New Russla," says
that Journal, 100 years ago scarcely contained
100 900 inhabitants and these were collection OF
various bodies living by robbery and violence. The
same country now contains 90 towns, 200 colonies
of German, Bugarans, Servlans, and Jews, 2OOO
