THE House OF BRAGANzA.-The present King
of Portugal as well as the Emperor of Brazil, are
lincally descended from the celebrated Inez de Cas-
tro, second wife of Dom Pedro the Just of Portugal.
The tragic fate of Inez is beautifully sung by
Camoens in the Third Book of his " Lusiads." The
unfortunate lnez was assassinated in 1850, at
COimbra, in the Convent of st. Clare, by the order
of her own father-in-law, the King Of Portugal.
Her remains were deposited in the Royal Abbey Of
AlcObaza, where they lay till ruthlessly disturbed
by the French in the sack of Alcobaza ; but we're
afterwards reverently replaced in their tomb by
order of the late Duke of Wellington.

Allow me to inquire what the policy Of our Gov
eminent is at present on the Leprosy question.
In July last several persons were notified by the
constables to be in readiness to 60 10 Honolulu for
inspection by the Government physician there.
Some of these persons were shockingly bad, and
still they dwell here at large, and most likely are now
much worse than in July.
The Island of Kauai has always been fortunate in

negligence of allowing such bad cases 10 be at large

INEQUALITY OF THE SEXES IN PARAGUAY.-The fol-
lowing paragraph appears in an exchange -
1.-THE equality in point of numbers Of the sexes
is most nearly attained in France. For every
one thousand men there is one thousand and seven
women. The other extreme is found in Paraguay,
where there are two thousand and eighty-nine
women for one thousand men,"
AS We recently remarked. on the subject Of
population in Paraguay, the excess of the femi-
nine over the masculine population is there
equally as perplexing as the opposite case here.
We doubt not that a very good class Of female
immigrants could be obtained for this country
from the land of the Guarantees.
