that OF plan for holding Prussia in check. Ihe
following is the programme, as Described by the
correspondents
GENEVA May 8, 1862
An organization, somewhat on the federal system,
between the Southern German States and Switzer-
land Is contemplated. The various States repre-
sented would have their representatives IN each OF
the States so combined, with the faculty OF voting
This would be step towards the establishment OF
federal republic in the heart OF Europe. Austria
VIII probably endorse the plan which Napoleon
favors.
This project is OF manifest importance for France
and Switzerland, for Prussia has Just been man9u-
wiring very cleverly 80 as to make an opening In
Italy aud command Switzerland. Prussia. Baden
and Italy combine to fund in Switzerland S. 900 OOO
for the construction OF tunnel through the st.
GOthard, morally reducing that republic to the con-
dit on OF a Prussian province. unless France pre-
vents II from being thus absorbed. The above men
toned plan, secretly encouraged by France, would
have the effect OF opposing IN Germany itself dam
to Prussan ambition.
Alone OF his government Napoleon has the FORE
sight TO understand the dangers to which his pre-
sent isolation exposes MIN. M. de la Valette is not
on this point In harmony with the Emperor, and the
question Is which policy will prevail in his councils
European war or peace hinges upon the decision 0f
this point.

Lady Palmerston.

An interesting memoir of Lady Palm
erston, in the London Times, shows that
she undertook the entire management of
the household at Brockett, Cambridge
House and BroAdlands, as well as that of
her own property; personally inspect
ing the accounts, leaving nothing to
agents, stewards or head servants, but
what fell strictly within their respective
departments. Her visiting book also
was kept with all the regularity aud pre-
cisiou of merchants ledger. As long
as her health permitted, she made q
point Of filling up her cards with her own
hand, and she knew exactly whom she
had invited for each of her alternate
nights. Her services to her husband ex.
tended far beyond the creation of the brill
liant salon at Cambridge House, ard the
cheering sympathy with which she
soothed his labors. She had great tact
in extracting information from, as well
as answering visitors, and was thus Of
great value to Lord Palmerston in his
political enterprises. With oil this she
found time to keep journal. Another
characteristic which Lady Palmerston
shared with the elder generation was her
prediction of youth and beauty for its
own sake, aud equally marked dislike for
anything like vulgarity or ungainliness of
manner. She would have Those two
pretty girls at her party" and she would
not have "thst fat woman with her ugly
daughters" although the fat woman was
the wife of country member, and the
two pretty girls had neither father nor
brother in either House.

From the 10th to the 24th of Septen-
ber, severe earthquake shocks were felt
in South America. A letter from Lima
says that on the oath the shocks we're

vertical kind) took place about ten min.

sea receded with fearful velocity, carry

afterwards six feet beyond its usual level.
This was repeated several times, and the
inhabitants fled in q state bordering on

proceed to the spot where the fault
exists, to repair the damage. The cause
of these fractures has not yet been dis
tiDctly stated, but there is reason to be.
lieve that the course taken in laying the
csbe-the latter portion having been
laid in a heavy fog-was over suuken
rocks, and that the cable has been Injured
by cha6ng upon them. The frst injury
to the cable off Hearts Content had
every appearance of being caused by an
iceberg settling down upon it. The
age, and suspicion attaches to strange
craft, which, during the time Of the ex-
citement about the Fenisns, was seen
lowering near the spot where the rupture
took place. The 1865 cable remains per-
fectly safe, as it is laid in channel that
was carefully surveyed. This is the ca
BILE which was lost in the attempt to lay
it by the original Atlantic Telegraph
Company. When the Anglo American
Company took up the work in 1866 they
we're successful in their task, and having
laid the cable which they had on board
the Great Eastern, they returned to mid
ocean and grappled with and raised the
lost cable Of the previous year, which has
ever since continued to work uninter-
ruptedly, while its younger brother has
suffered from not less than FIVE rnishaps.
But for the singular good luck of
the Anglo-American Company, which
enabled them to pick up the lost cable
from the bed of the Atlantic, communi
cation with America would have been
interrupted on FIVE occasions, and each
time for considerable period. In order
to provide against contingencies such as
these which have just occurred, q guam.
,ity Of surplus cable has been stored at
Hearts Content, which may be put on
board ship there and at once made avail
able, so as to render unnecessary the de-
lay and expense of making the voyage
the whole distance across the Atlantic by
the repairing ships. Fortunately, the
communication between the two coun-
tries has not been interrupted for mo-
ment by the failure of this 1866 cable,
and we are informed that the number of
messages sent through on Friday last was
larger than upon any day on which the
line has been open for messages.

A duel, says the Paris Temps. has
taken place at Brussels, in the Bois de la
Csmbre, between Henri Rochefort and q
staff officer Of the National Guard of
Paris. 1t appears that M. Rochefort was
at the Hotel de Vile when some of the
French National Guard arrived. An
officer approached and insulted him. M.
Rochefort was at first sstonished, but
soon became very excited, and dared him
to prove what be said. The officer, turn

At this moment some French officers,
who witnessed the provocation M. Roche-
fort had received, advanced, and taking
him BY the hand, protested against the
conduct of their comrade. A duel fol-
lowed, aud the officer was wounded.
