FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

THE PRINCE OF WALES VICERoY OF IRELAND
The Derry Journal has the following: at is the
anxious wish of the Queen that member of the
royal family should be her representative in Ire
land; and this feelng-long entertained by the
gracious lady whose domestic circle evidences that
genuine maternal care which commands the admi-
ration of all her subjects-has "grown with the
GROWTH of His Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales 1t is a settled point that, no matter what
Liberal Government may come into power, Lord
Carlisle is booked for the Irish lord-eutenancy.-
1t is known that the noble earl would prefer not
resuming the cares and responsibilities of the office;
nevertheless, there is doubt that he will give up
MS objection, as his acceptance of the viceroyaty
VIII tend to facilitate the views of his sovereign
with respect to the Prince of Wales views, too,
which are said to be warmly seconded by the coun-
sci OF Lord Carlisle himself, and are somewhat to
the effect following: That her Majesty, accom-
panied by the Prince Consort and the Prince of
Wales will visit Ireland this ensuing summer, hold
court at Dublin Castle, be present at a grand re-
view of troops at the Currah camp, proceed to Kill
larney, and return by the Irish metropolis. 1t will
not be the fault of her Majesty if Ireland does not
reJolce In royal residence before long, and further
more, that the royal prince will be Viceroy of Ire
land before the close of 1860"
An arrest has just taken place in Paris, which
mas thrown the arlsocratic Faubourg into conster-
nation The prisoner is Count de Vassv- Beau
mont, member of the old noblesse, numerousIy
connected to other noble families of France The
Count dressed up friend in the uniform of Gen
eral OF the French army, and with this false Gen
eral, whom he represented to be an aid-de-camp of
the Minister Of War; he went to a large manufac-
tory OF satpetre, and offered the proprietors if
tney would pay to the Minister through the ad-de-
camp the sum of 900 francs as a bonus or bribe
that they should have large Government orders
Tor saitpetre during the preparations that were
going on for war. The manufacturers caught at
the bait, and paid the so 900 francs This dis
covery of the affair made in the following
way:
The uniform was demanded by the false General
Tor the review of the Imperial Guard, which took
place two weeks ago; but, since Generals on duty
never require TO borrow their uniform he told the
costumer that he was from one of the departments,
that he was in Paris by accident without his uni
form; and that he desired to join that dav in the
suite OF the Emperor at the review. He obtained
the loan of the uniform; but the costumer did not
like the movements of the soi-disant officer, and
from the fact that it rare to lend uniforms for
other purposes than balls he feared that he had be-
come party to some conspiracy against the En-
peror's life. No sooner had the gentleman left his
establishment than the costumer communicated
what had occurred to the Commissary of Police of
his quarter, with his suspicious. That day the suite
OF his Majesty, which numbered perhaps hundred
officers, closely scrutinized but no officer made
application who was not well known. 1t was evil
dent that some rascality on foot and the police
soon brought the truth to light. The Count, the
false General and another person who aided them
have been thrown into prison to await their trial
Bail has been refused, as is usual in France for
most criminal Offences But what in America will
seem most curious, the manufacturers of saltpetre
who paid the bonus, will be prosecuted BY the Gov
ernment and undoubtedly punished, for supposing
that Minister of the Crown could be corrupted
The Senate of Hamburg, the 3lst ult., pub
lished an ordnance which says "The Senate

ting OF the assembly of the citizens, occupied itself
IN preparing the projects relative to the consttu-

tons any meeting having for its object the discus
SION OF constitutional questions, or votes such
subjects"

prisonment, for allowing his house to be used for
betting purposes. Three other men, whom the po-
lice had found in the house with racing cards and
betting books upon them, fined f20 each, or
one months imprisonment; and q others, who had
been present in the betting-room were discharged
with warning.

have any more rifles given to the line 1t is thought
that though the arm is well adapted for such corps
as the Chesseurs de Nincennes, it does not answer
| for troops of the line.

The Swiss papers are furious at the movement of
Austrian troops in the Foraberg, a large body
having approached and taken up a menacfng posi-
tlon on the frontier of the canton of Grisons to
overawe the confederated republic. This, they

ance in not aiding Carlo Alberto when Austria
was at their mercy in Lombardy

form an opinion speaks of the character and attain
ments OF this most charming Princess.-COurt Jour
