SOCIETY GOSSIP.  (From The World.)  Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry will pay short private visits to Rome and to Naples while the Queen is at Florence.  The Empress Eugknie, who has been staying at Farnborough since her return from Amsterdam, is expected at Osborne this week on a visit to the Queen ; and I hear that she goes to Italy next month, and will probably be at Florence during her Majesty's stay there.  The reports of the German Crown Prinoe con. thine to be very favourable. It is thought not improbable, as the result of the perichondritis from which the illustrious patient is stiffeliag, that a portion of one of the cartilages, or perhaps even one of the smaller cartilages is its entirety, may be expelled, or sooner or later may have to be removed by Sir Moreit Mackenzie. I hear that these efforts of Dame Nature to get rid of cartilage, which are !analogous to the process which she endeavours ! to accomplish with a decayed tooth, are rarely, if ever, met with in offfffcer. Sir Morell will leave London for San'Remo at the end of the waek.  Sir Morell Mackenzie has been offered a very large fee to go to nee a patient in Michigan, but has declined, on the ground that he could not enter into an engagement which would place him for a considerable time at to great a distance from the Crown Priuce.  The mild monotony of Rotten Row has recently been alleliated by the presence of Mr. Parnell, on a big bay horse, doing his task cf hygienia equestrianism with great perseverance. Mr. Parnell affects the Knightsbridge side, and is exceedingly wrapped up. His huge Ulster ' shows that he has no narrow provincial prejudices.  Mr. Wemyss Reid's "Life of Forster" will appear in May. Mr. Gladstone has given his 000 sent to the publication of his letters, and the correspondence between the two etatesmen on the Irieh Question, as read by the light of recent events, will excite the keeneet interest. The book will contain several portraita, and possibly a view of the picturesque cottage at Bradpole where Mr. Foreter %VOA born. He to the very last retained a warm affection for the Dorsetsbire village in which he passed his childhood, and where some memorial of him might very appropriately be erected.  From Truth. The ohmage in the Queen's Italian plane is due entirely to personal and private reasons. The villa at San Remo which was engaged for her Majesty early last month has been got rid of. I r 4 costly stated that Princess Beatrice and her husband were to visit Florence when her Mvjesty was at Ban Remo, and that they would clay at the Villa Palmieri, which the Dowager Lady Crawford had placed at the Queen's disposal. This residence will now be occupied by the Queen herself, and her Majesty is to arri, e at Florence about February 24. It is not yet settled whether the Royal party will travel direct to Florence by the Ot. Ootbard route, via Milan and Bologna, or by MareeiHes, Genoa, and Pisa. If the latter be decided upon, the Queen will break her journey at San Remo, arriving there in the morning, and proceeding to Florence the same evening. The Emperor William has granted a subven • lion of £85,000 to the Berlin Opera, which is the precise amount of the deficit in the accounts of that establishment. Mr. Reneage intends to bring forward the Deceased Wife's Eisler Marriage Bill at the earliest possible date next session. According to the latest statistics, Mr. Winans is now the lessee of nearly twenty separate estates in the Highlands, comprising in all about 230,000 acres—deer forest every inch of  it. According to an official return, it appears that seventy-six foresters and keepers have been murdered by poachers in Austria and Hungary during the last year. Lisbon papers state that an official letter has been received by the Portuguese Government from the Custom-house authorities!at Quilimane, reporting that they have seized two oases of manaolee consigned to Scotch missionaries. It would be interesting to learn what part these manacles were intended to play in " the work of conversion."  - ----
