Thus, as that account he had refused to sing in the Puritan!. There was another coarederstion— °resent had at the beginning of the season been designated for the part of the Duke of Mantua—and Mario would not be acting like a good oollugne to deprive him of it. Moreover, the mature of Madame Freszolinrs voice was such that in order to deg with her he would be obliged to raise hi. voice half a toss, which he did not leant to do. The tribunal deckled that the terms of the t between Mario and Csludo could not be inter as to give the actor the power of refusing to sing his regular parts in old operas, and that wiesequatly he must appear in the Doke of Mantua on Beads sad on any other days the directors might require, under pain of paying 6,000 fr. for each refusal. It condemned him likewise to yty all the cats.

A large number of &titian' bills of exchange on London seem to M lading circulation on the Continent, where they are probably rival to hotel-keepers =I Olkelli by practieed swindlers. On Souris, five of these bills were presented at one joint-Mock bank, at which the wept" whose names and addressee were false, bad petteided to make them payable. The smenate ranged Lees SOL to SOUL, and in most oases the names wed as those of the drawers and soeeptor• were made to bear • resemblance to snob of the London mercantile hottest ea are best known on the Continent. Each of the bills had evidently peened through may respectable bends before presentation, and ecoaeguantly her. a number of genuine endorsements.  A letter of the 3rd from the Hague nye :—" The last mail from the east brought here the new treaty which H. Donker Crudes lately aoneluded with the Court of Jeddo. He happened to be in the capital of Japan at the same time as the English negotiator, and they were wren . .  lodged In adjoining apartments. Everything leads to the belief that the concessions aooorded to Enema are so likewise to Rolland. Merchants will have the fecalty of pdating and distributing at Nagasaki placards for their sales; they out also hire stores and shops, and expose their goods to public view. Dutch women are to be permitted to enter Joplin." A letter from Berlin, dated Saturday, says " The Prince of Wales toothsome to visit all that is worth mooing in Berlin. On Tuesday next (this day) the Baglialt mialeter Lord Bloomfield, will glee a grand min,/ to hie Royal Highness, at which the ooart will be present, sad Prince Yrederi k William has promised to make a short appearesoe in his lordship's beautiful salons." A Berlin correspondence, which reaches Paris air, callously by way of Hamburg, gives currency to a statement—no mention of which occurs in other letters—to the affeot that the King of Prussia, who la now travelling in Italy for the benefit of hie health, le about to renounce the protestant faith at Boras, and be received there into the Roman catholic church I  SUICIDE,—Oa Friday a painful suicide occurred at North Mklda.
