In Paris tartan dresses and tartan ribands are seen on every side..  The barefooted Carmelites babe opened an establishment in Paris. It is customary for the young swells of the Jockey Club and eleswhere to invite them in to take a snack.  The list of suicides at the German gambling hells is this year higher than ever. Half of them are foreigners, whose friends in most cases never learn the fearful end they come to. A. Parisian advertises photographs giving to the physiognomy the effects of the full moon shining on the face. He says.the softness that the moon Produces is remarkable. There is no doubt of it.It is said that there is no secret made in Berlin that the King intends to have the Duchies for himself, and he who would advance a contrary idea is smiled down as very infantine indeed in his knowledge. One " young lady" having won so largely af BadenBaden, another essayed at Homburg, immediately aft& leaving Paris, to do so—express. She has brought hack 54,000 f., the fruits of one day's labour. • Can nothing withstand cal dames at home or abroad?  Ladies of a certain class are so anxious to obtain coxes on the grand tier at the opera that it is said two of the wealthiest sent blank cheques to the director for him to till up to any figure he might please, if he would accord them this boon; but, .on the contrary, he meditates making a razzia, and forbidding them the entree to any part.  The.PerseVeranza of Milan publishes a telegram from Rome stating that 400 Papal soldiers have refused to re-enlist, declaring their intention of taking service under the King of Italy. The Freuch Empress, says the Paris correspondent of the Star, is looking very delicate. She has not apparently profited by the Schwalbach waters and the quiet she enjoyed in Germany_ The general opinion is that Spain is on the eve of a great Crisis. The patch that has been put upon things is but a very poor bit of tissue paper, and will soon be rent, and the Narvaez will go ragged again. .  We get an odd item of intelligence from Copenhagen. A party has arisen in the Danish dependency of Iceland bent on a repeal of the union and the transfer of that island's allegiance to Sweden. It is generally believed that overtures have been made to Austria by the Pope for an army of defence for Rome, and, if His Majesty agrees, the French will be told to go as soon as they like, cost what it may.  Arcadia is the happy choice of name which the colonies of North America, Prince Edward's Island, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia, have made for the new confederation of the maratime colonies which they intend to establish.  Conflagrations continue to• occur in Russia. The town of Kosielsk, in the government of Kalunga, had seventeen houses burned down last week; and at R.enenburg, in the government of Riazau, one hundred and fifty were reduced to ashes. The latest report concerning Lord Clarendon's mysterious journey is that he was charged by the English and French Governments to enter into negotiations with the Emperor of Austria and the King of Italy concerning the settlement of the vexed question of Venice. - The chief Prussian paper, the Cologn Zeitung, has recently frequently demanded the abandonment of Venetia by the Austrians. This kind of Prussian sympathy must grate harshly upon the heart of Austria after the sacrifices she has made to win glory for Prusgia Schleswig-Holstein.  The villa Berrnond, at Nice, has been rented for the Empress of Russia, who proposes to pass the winter there. • The villa Pellion, which adjoins the villa of M.

The French Government has received several guns from the Danes, which they took from the Prussians. The guns are needle and fulminating priming guns of the newest models, which could not else be obtained, and they have at once been forwarded to the Committee of Artillery to make their report upon. Berlin has advanced an idea in the club way which it is rather singular has not been carried out either in Paris or London as yet —namely, a splendid club for millionaire financiers. The Berlin affair is to be got up regardless of expense, and with a very heavy annual subscription, which is only in keeping with the monetary rank and value in the world of the members. Among the many odd customs whith distinguish the Chinese of Java is one which would startle the young ladies cif England. Beneath the windows of their houses is often to be seen an empty flower-pot, "lying horizontally on the portico roof. Its position mitiot be accidental, because it is seen in so many cases. k Nor can it be looked upon as • a religious symbol, for then there would probably be one on each house. It is nothing more nor less than a niatrimonial advertisement, the plain English of which is--"A young lady is in the house. .Husband wanted."  The marriage of Miss Slidell with M. Erlanger was celebrated on Tuesday morning with great pomp at the hurch of St. Pierre, in the Rue Chaillot. The witness. es for M. Erlanger were M.
