NANA SAHIB. —Absurd stories regarding the apprehension of Nana Sahib at Kurrachee, which have been for some time current in India, must have reached England. The Nana is alive, and believed by Government to be at this moment somewhere on the Nepaidese or Thibetan frontier. All the papers referring to him are with the Seeretary of State for India. Even when he dies it will be long till the natives are convinced of the fact. For some years we may expect a Nana from time to time to turn up in half-a-dozen places at once. But this uncertainty is not favourable to political quiet. —Calcutta Englishman. _ _ .  Romcv Justicgs.—A man not long ago killed his wife, to whom he had been married a year, with no other excuse than that he loved another woman. The case was clear, and he was condemned to death. His friends, however, raised the moderate sum of 150 scudi, (about £30,) and having demanded a new trial, applied it in the proper quarters, and procured the pardon of the murderer. At the same time, another man, having a little farm near Tivoli, was one day provoked to throw stones at some pigs, and at the driver of the pigs, who was trespassing on his ground. For this offence he was sentenced to six years in the galleys, and, having no money for bribery, justice was, of course, inexorable. A correspondent of the Daily News, writing from Malta on the Bth February, says :—" There is to-day handed about Malta a very long and well-writtten protest to the Pope, printed at Naples, and signed by about 6000 of the Roman Catholic priests. Several chapters have affixed their official seal to it, and it looks very like Protestantism, but they call it pure Roman Catholicism. It urges upon the Pope to abandon his temporal Power, restore the church to its primitive state, and to remember that a great majority of his clew are trom the people. The document is admirably composed, and must have emanated from a very liberal mind. The Italians appear to approach nearer to the Reformed Church than we do in Malta."  We learn from Galignani that two fearful catastrophes have just coat a gloom over the neighbourhood of the Borinage, in Belgium. The first arose from an explosion of fire-damp in the pit No. 7 of the Coal Company of Eecouffraulx, situated at Wames. The cause of this explosion is unknown, and the only details received are that eight workmen have fallen victims to the accident. The second disaster took place the following day at the pit No. 7 of the Crachet-Picquery Company, at Fmmeries. Eleven workmen were ascending the shaft, when the chain to which the cage was attached broke, precipitating the unfortunate men to the bottom. Three of them expired the same evening, but hopes are entertained that the other eight, though severely injured, will recover. The JArdin d'Acclimatisation at Paris, as the season advances, becomes more popular. Its greenhouses are now the rendezvous of the fashionable _ _  world, and the refreshment tables in the midst of groves and blooming plants are every afternoon crowded with loungers who formerly frequented the cafes in the boulevards. Amongst the zoological ' attractions there are the various families of swans which swim upon its ponds; there is the domestic swan, with red beak and white body; the wild swan, with black and yellow beak, from the north of Europe; the black-necked swan, from South America; and the black swan of Australia. Broods of the latter have been completely domesticated in France, and are in appearance quite as stately as they sail on the water as the white swan, to which their sable plumage forms a pretty contrast. ENGLISH SUBJECTS ABRoAD.—Any person who requires evidence of the solicitude with which England watches over and protects her subjects, even the meanest of them, in whatever part of the world they might be, will find it lathe following occurrence: —At the last assizes of the Bouches-du-Rhone two English sailors were tried for murder. The Court appointed M. Bouteille as advocate to defend them, and they were acquitted. The English Consul at Marseilles hastened to Aix to thank the advocate, and offer him his fee, which he declined to accept, and the Consul left with the two sailors, whom he sent to England. Shortly afterwards M. Bouteille received a case containing the collection of English laws, in five volumes, richly bound, and bearing Queen Victoria's arms, and the inscription:—"The English Government to M. Martial Bcuteille, advocate at Aix, in recognition of the talent, zeal, and disinterestedness with which he defended its subjects." —Mosvager de Provence.
