clearly tie intention of the founder that the recIpl-

But the Italian law authorities reply that the inten

that the only legal marriage now Is the civil con-
tract before the Syndic. The matter was referred
to the Council of State, which has recently pro-
nounced its Judgment in favor Of the Interpretation

the Voce della Verid last night being headed
Another MOnstrosity."
The "Liberaln Ministry, of the component parts
of which gave you some account when they came
into power, have found that slightly to change the
words of the od songl,
Care comes with Office"
As light comes with day!
As TO ihe troubles which are now while write
gathering round them with reference to affairs at
Constantinople, and the probable action of the
European Powers with regard to them, L Will not
trouble you with any remarks because you WIN
have been kept better informed on all such topics
by your CORE, ,p0ndents in the more important Eu-
ropean contcrs than we are here. VIII merely
mention the prediction of the Jesuit organ, the
TOce della Terid, (which by the way is, III purely
literary point OF view, the best written paper In
Romel to the effect that America is to become the
ally of Russia with the result of annihilating the
power and prosperity OF England.
Ihe more immediate troubles which surround the
Cabinet of "the Left" are those connected with the
Bale Convention for the sale to the State of the
Alta Italia system Of railways This Convention, as
your readers will probably remember, was arranged
between Sgnor Sella the present leader OF the OPP
position or party of the Right" and Baron Ed
anil Dnt. ,I.r fba of ba
Government. The present men having violently OPP
posed and decried that bargain and finding that
rejection of the Convention pure and simple
would land them in host Of difficult
ties, among which not the least would be
the bankruptcy Of the Alta Italia Company Ia very
serious affair indeed, difficulties further increased
by the fact that the question is not wholly an lta-
ia One, enc that portDn OF the lines OF the
Ara l'a.g ii' N Aus .l territory, and talt the
sopar. .io9 of the two Ia, ss is part, and very
thOrny part, of the matte,,-the present men, say
under these circumstances. have been extremely
anxious to obtain somewhat better torms from NJ
Rothschd as a justfca ion for their opposition to
the treaty. The great financial Baron came to
Rome ut their request, aud negotiations opened
-frutlessly. And the Baron went home again.
The papers, which support and are in more or less
close connection with .hc Cabinet, which has the
advantage OF Delug Itlt'N bN ltlHdIS lit IhOSt
unscrupulous press ever known out of Paris, spread
the calumny stupid AMI Incredible il was base,
that VI. Rothsehild had been Persuaded by the mem-
bers of the late Government not 70 grant their
cessors any better terms and that that was the re-
son W ny none had bcea obtained. The accusation,
therefore YOU will observe, 10 the effect that
the late ministers had tratoroGsy acted IN epposi-
ton to the interest Of their country, aud that NJ.
Rothschild had tratorously betrI yed[ the in
terests OF the shareholders intrussed tn
him. Excess of habitual caumny IS its own
antidote and nobody paid much attention to this
atrocIous charge. But for my part. l do not think
that il is a healthy symptom for country. that such
an accusation can be uttered without producing
moral earthquake. Now the negotiations have been
once again resumed AZ Paris. And at may be shat,
rather than fana the results OF throwing up the
Convention, N. Rothsclild the part Of the share
holders may consent To eu"h q reduction of the
terms as may be equivalent to something like onc or
at most two per cent Oh the affair IN FAVOR Oh the
Italian Exchequer. And then the Lett" VIII
utter its shouts of triumph. But every practicai
or tolcrably sensible man will understand the nature
of a triumph which consists IN inducing party
with whom most important bargain has been
made to submit to a reduction Of one, or even two
per cent rather than throw up all the arrangement.
But even if the or two per cent IL thus
squeezed out of the Alta Italia Shareholders the
troubles of the Ministry very Tar from beng a'
an end large part of their supporters are bent on
rejecting the Convention in the Chamber qHdRd
meme let the terms be what they may. These Depu-
ties of the Left" mainly from The south OF Italy
are as unamenaGlc 10 reason TO party dscphnei
