1t will take two years to complete the removal
OF the capital Of Italy from Turin to Florence.
What the continental people call the cabinets of
ministers will only be removed from Turin at
present. The archives. the offices of the different
branches Of the military audCiYil administrations,
will fol9w. Turin, therefore, will not feel the
shock of the transfer So suddenly as il had been
supposed.

corridor. He shakes hands with all. Women

An invention has lately been brought out
Paris by which it is claimed that printing can be
conducted without the employment of ink, The
process consists in the introduction between the
paper and the type Of Il sheet of some fabric on
which is deposited lampblack and glycerine. II
Is thought, too, that by increasing tue number of
the latter intermediate sheets, and enhancing the
pressure, great number of impressions may be
obtained simultaneously. The process Is merely
u modification Of an old method.

Railway accommodations arc lessening In
Europe while here they are increasing. IL seems
that, either from want Of agreement or want Of
consideration, there Is only fast through train
q day between Paris and Vienna, while in former
years there were two trains Four years ago,
when there was no bridge across the Rhine, and
passengers had TO 90 by omnibus from Strasburg
70 behl, the ;mo between Paris and Munich was
less than IL Is Ut present. The rule which is thus
inaugurated on the great railroads Is observed
faithfully on the minor branch lines and though
the railway map of Germany is filling up rapidly,
and the blaIh spaces are less than before, the
scantincss Of accommodation instead of diminish
ing, seems to increase.
Since the announcement that Florence was
to be made the capital of Italy, property there
has greatly enhanced in value. AS an instance,
il may he mentioned that two days before the
news of the transfer of the capital had been
spread, Turinese banker had entered into q con-
tract with Florence gentleman for buying
house. The owner had asked 10000 sterling, and
tie banker had offered $4,000. Whilst they were
negotiating, the great news reached Florence,
and the banker, who wished to have the house,
was obliged 90 pay El2, 600 for Il. A small room,
which let tor ten francs per month, has now gone
up TO siNty francs az once. Florence can no
longer be called the cheapcs! as well as the love-
lest city in Europe.

lost the children who shared her exile and mis-
fortune. She il understood 70 have resigned her
self 9lmls. entirely 90 devotion; and il is felt In
Madrid by all parties, that now the circumstances
OF the nation have so mUru altered as almost 90
preclude the possibility OF her exercising any
active political influence in the court, it is not
decent 20 deprive the daughter on the throne Of
the society OF the mother who contributed 50
