ElREIGN MISCELLANY

! A COMPLICATED MARRIAGE QUESrGON.-Scandal L
busy with an event which has something of the lu
dicrous. nobleman of Milan of some wealth WHIT
| had contracted marriage by civil contract before
the legal authorities, found it eXpedent to disOwr
the tie after a while in order to connect himscl
! With Manese lady of great personal attractions
! The second marriage was suemniZed in church.
But the lady, in her turn, having been cOurted by
a man OF higher rank and of greater wealth, inst
tuted proceedings to annul her marriage, upon the
plea OF bigamy on the part of the husband, alleging
now that it served her purpose, that his first mar.
| riage was legal. The new banns were published
but the husband of the two wives instituted pro
! ceedngs to otbid them. The matter is now before
the courts, and it rem aims to be proved whether
| the husband of two wives is to become bachelor,
and the lady ambitious of second husband whilst
the first is living, to be pronounced a spinstar.
The AUSTRIAN COMWsSARIAT.-The Cologne Ga
zete publishes the following, under date Of Vienna,
l4th: "a commission had been appointed at Verona
to hold an inquiry into the causes OF the defective
supply OF provisions for the troops during the war
in Italy, and full report the subject is to be
laid before the Emperor. The investigation has al
ready begun and rumOr states that most startlino.
| discoveries have been made, which compromise
many functonarieS, both civil and military. 1t is
certain that all kinds of provisions were abundant
enough, vet the troops for whom they were destined
| did not get them when required There must have
been embeZzlements on large SCALE and this the
accounts appear to prove, for they contain such
| items as $4,000 zWanzigers (2f,OOO francs) for
matches"
y
letter in the Independence Beige saws: ''Flty or
sixty persons hired for the purpose, and placed in
little groups in the upper galleries, have renewed
in most scandalous manner, during second re-
presentation of 'Norma, the scenes which occurred
in the first representation. 1t was no longer MUIR
murS and whisparings, but croans and noises of all
kinds which completely drowned the voices of
Madame Gfi>i and Mario. The uproar was at its
height Mt the commencement of the duet in the
second act. Potatoes were thrown from the upper
galleries, falling at the feet of Madame Gris and
reboundng in the pit The public in the boxes
and other parts Of the house rose Indignantly to
protest against such an outrage but Madame Grisi
withdrew, her face hathed in tears. Mario at
tempted for some seconds to brave the storm, but
was obliged to leave the stage. One of the employees
of the theatre come forward to announce that the
performance would not be continued, Madame
Grisi having tainted away, overcome with emotion
The authorities were qUite'impassivc"
THE FLIGHT FROM NENICE.-What is called "the
exodus" but which would more appropriately be
termed ''the flight of the Nenetians from Aus
trian captivity, still continues Several large bands
have recently arrived in Bologna and Modena and
more than 500 have already enlisted in the various
brigadcs Of the duchieS. These luckless fugitives
have immense difficulties to contend with and
great expense to undergo in order to smurrle
themselves across the Po. They announce the ar
rival of new bands daily, and it seems that the
whole youth of Nenetia are bent upon preferrng
sclfbanishment to longer submission to the de-
tested Austrian rule. "This," says a letter from
for the Cabinet of Vienna. 1t was the volunteer
increment in April last which drove Austria to
the desperate measure Of a the least of
evils. and she must now either be prepared to give
up Nenetia for love or money eSc strike one
more decisive however hopeless, blow.
RELIGIOUS REVIVAL IN INDIA The Bombay
Guardian reports the premonitory symptoms of a
religious revival in India. Four daily prayer meet
ings are held in Boinblv--one among the soldiers
of the 2Sth; one of native Christians, in Marath
Gree Church lustiiution,l at p. m: the one at
the General Assemblies Institution, at : a. H.; and
the one at St Andrews Church. at ! D. IN. The
Bishop of Bombay, DR.. Harding, favOrs the move
ment.
FRENCH SoCErY.-0ne thing is certain namely
that the women of this country are slowly, but
surely, altering their old habits and ways. In the
first place. girls are getting to be little less oi mere
mechanical, subservlent, yea-nay PerSonages than
they had used 10 be; and in the next women are
taking much more to masculine amusements than
they ever did before. France counts among her
sportsmen some really very good female shots.
Marshal Castellane's daughter, widow Of the late
PrusSiau minister, Count de Ilarzeldt, is one, and
| could name two or three others; but this year,
at the various watering places, the sporting mania
has been observed to be in the ascendant. One
lady in the Pyrenees walked over ten leagues Of
road, hill, and field and brought home II or l.
head Of game; at least it is stated by competent
authority.
-ltis stated that Her Maiesty's Government have
resolved to erect Il new battery on the CLYDE, on
the shores of Rosencath, nearly opposite to Gou-
rock. Both sides of the Clyde will thus be com
pletelv protected
"A French paper says there exists among the Mant-
chou soldiers a company of Russians whose anCcs-
tors taken prisoners at AlbaZin $50 years amO
They are Christians, who speak a little Russian,
have at Pekn a Russian phvsiognOmy, and might
have been sent from Pekin to work the Chinese
batteries, as they are real subjects OF the BOgdy
Khan, and have been paid by him fo- the 80 years
mentioned. This will account for the statement
that men with Russian faces were seen in the en-
brasures at the PeihO forts.
The AHgemciHc ZcjtVng says that Il new drill has
been introduced among the Austrian riflemen
founded on great activity and rapidity of move
ment and results in a closer formation of the line.
On firing, each man springs forward with run
ming step, but in a STOPPING attitude, aud throws
himself down on the ground to load, the he
hind him following his example.
The Patrie contradicts the reports as to the
governments Of Central Italy being in great pecu-
mary difficulties
FROM THE ISTIIMUS AND SOUTH AMERICA
The Panama Heroii OF November "a has a tcIe-
gram from Aspinwati, stating that the United
States frigate Roanoke which arrived at I O'Clock,
reports the st. Louis stationed ut Salt Creek, the
Preble at Chriqui, and Sabine at Grcvtnwn. 1t
rumOrcd that schooner with $50 hIibustcrs
had landed on the coast; doubt she is the schOon-
or that sailed from ew York ith about 400 pas
SengerS for ChiriQui.
From Bogota the news is important The official
GGzetc, of the 9th ult., contains the decree Of Pres
ident Ospina, declaring the entire confederation in
4 state Of war, and placing the army on war foot
ing. Another decree declares the ports Of Cartha-
gena and Savanilla closed until the establishment
of peace, aud prohibits any ext rnal trade with
these ports.
There appears to be great deal of excitement in
Bogota, and little doubt exists that the revolution
airy movement in bolivia will spread over the
country. The Press Of BogOta is loud in its dcnun-
Citations Of President Ospina and openly advocates
the revolutionary party.
The recruiting system has been put in force in
the capital and many outra@rs have been com
mittcd by the officers charged with forcing the men
into the army, which has given rise to great dis
satisfaction.
The United States Minister, Hon. George W.
Jones' had presented his credentials tn the PreSi.
dent on the 3lst August and was received in the
usual manner.
From Chill we learn that Gen. Nidaurri, nrn-
dant OF Valparaiso, had been shot while going out of
4 church to suppress riot. The W,rcuriD adds
''Ihis event had OccaSoncd various arrests aud !-
prisonmens, aud although we are not aware of any
connivance between the murderer and the indyid-
uas arrested, still it is not less certain that the
greater part of them belong to the first circles Of
society, and that amongst them included Sena-
tor Don Francisco Ignacio Ossa, and two of his
sons, all very influential persons, on account of
their position and wealth..
Congress having terminated its ordinary session,
was to be conyoked in extraordinary session.
