|, command Of the forces in Ireland

IN command OF the torces " tici~"u
are due, 1t Is asserted, to the urgent
commands Of the Queen, and are the
cause Of much discomfort in both the
army and the navy service.
The Imperial Government has or
dered the payment Of fl00 to each
widow of Canadian voyageur in the
Nile expedition. II is also ordered

The failure Of the Hstton-Garden
firm of diamond merchants for $780,
OO0 has caused semi panic in the Lon
don diamond trade, in which other Sc
rious failures are now looked for. The
market for diamonds has for many

The long-continued quarrel between
Queen Victoria and her son-in-law,
Louis, Grand Duke Of Hesse-Darm-
stadt, because of the latter's Morgan
attic marriage TO Nine. Kolomine, has,
it is said, been amicably ended. The

TO marry as soon as Parliament passed
the deceased-wife' s-sister bill, will now,
according to recent announcement, soon
be married to the Princess Of Hamult-
Dessau.
The marriage of Princess Beatrice to
Prince Henry, of Battenburg, will not
after all be such "a quiet affair" as 1t
was first intended. In fact, the Queen
seems to have made up her mind to
marry off her last daughter with great
deal of pomp and ceremony. She has
issued orders for a large increase of
invitations to the wedding, and the

invited to the wedding.

have been attending her have observed
recently that her health has grown to
be excellent, and that the malady which
for years has oppressed her brain has
been gradually disappearing.
From Paris it is learned that the Be-
napartist manifesto recently issued by
the supporters Of Prince Victor Napo-
leon has fallen fiat in the provinces,
where 1t excites no attention at all.
The ex-Empress Eugene and the
Processes Clothilde and Mathlde are,
it is reported. engaged in conspiracy
to supplant Victor as the pretender to
the BOnapartist succession by his bro
Their, Prince Louis. The latter, how
ever, refuses, it is said, to be party to
this conspiracy.
