MORE PRUSSIANIS3I.—Generaide Falkenstein, milltruy governor of Jutland, has published an order of the day, commanding the heads of the woods and forests to cut down a large number of trees to be sold by auction, in order to make up the deficit in the funds of that administration. This is considered a deplorable measure— quite an act of Vandalism: The reception of the Emperor Napoleon in the various cities through which he passed on his return to Paris is represented as having greatly pleased his Majesty. The conduct of the lower classes of the people has Particularly been the subject of Imperial comment. A large distribution of the Legion of Honour is to take place. A communication from Flensburg has the following : —" A. huge block of granite, which is to form the funeral monument of the banes who were killed during the.assault on Duppel,.was on Tuesday sent there from this place. It is a cube, on which is the following in. seriptibn-:—, Here lie.the bodies of 200 Danes.'" -A letter from Turin says that when the King rode into the city from hunting.the other day, the market women— the dames de la halls of Turin—howled after him ; be found his • very- palace: walls placarded with rewards of 10,000 francs for the recovery of the lost.Re Gatantuonio, and everywhere bills" A place to let, and a King for sale." ,  We must draw the attention of ardent young sportsmen to the report from France and Germany that never, within the knowledge of .the oldest inhabitant of .wolfinfested districts, were wolves so plentiful as they are this year. They seem to have bred wonderfully, owing to the warm season. " What," exclaims a German journal, " will .be our fate in the winter, if the wolves make such decided demonstrations so early in the season ?"  A melancholy incident has just taken place at a hotel. in Baden. A young couple. who had arrived in the evening were found dead in their room the following morning, having committed suicide with a poignard. They are said to be two lovers to whose union there were insurmountable obstacles. The female is said to belong to a respectable family at Carlsruhe, where her conduct had always been irreproachable. Grant seems to be in bad odour with his soldiers, who have a notion that he wishes to butcher them in cold. blood, and hence style him " Butcher Grant." Grant, Butler, and Meade were recently riding by in a covered, waggon (to avoid the presence of the men's enthusiasm," the letter says) when a soldier in the road shouted to a comrade on the rimpart'of the fort, "Here comes Grant I." The walls, of the fortification were immediately lined with soldiers; who, as soon as the vehicle reached a point directly opposite them, united in a tremendous groan, and the grgan, the letter adds, was several times repeated. _  A late letter from Cuba contains an account of the carrying off a boy eight years old by a cuttlefish. Several _children, coming upon the fish on the beach, attacked it With sticks and stones. So soon however as it had got to the water's edge it threw one of its long arms upon the arm of the boy nearest to it, and, to his and his playfellow's' horror, began to drag him into the SO2. The poor child struggled to get loose and screamed agonisingly, and some of the larger boss rushed to his aid but too late. His body was almost instantly dragged out of sight. --American Paper.  We regret to learn that Frances Anne Marehioness of Londonderry lies seriously ill at Seaham Hall. . . . .  The official inquiry into.• the loss .Of the Tyne. built steamer Ontario is now proceeding at Liverpool.. - -  On Saturday, the remaining portion of the Great Exhibition Buildings was blown down by gunpowder,  • Dr. Livingstone WAS at Nottingham on Friday, and in the evening of that day addressed a public meeting on foreign missions. Captain Morris, of the Confederate cruiser Florida, landed at Southamton on Saturday night, and after a short stay proceeded to London.  A fishing-boat belonging to Lowestoft was run down by a passenger steamer running from Sunderland to London, on Friday morning, and two of her crew were drowned.  A man named Smith, described as a tramp, has been taken into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Mrs. Butler, who lived at the Lodge, Sunninghill Park, Berks, which has hitherto been wrapped in mystery. The Globe says the returns of the registration of Parliamentary voters are viewed with satisfaction by the heads of the Liberal party. The new lists are much more favourable than the old. The Globe says this is the result of a careful examination. The Shipping Gazelle has reason to believe that the steamship Captain Semmes is now commanding is the Sea King, 1200 tons, which recently cleared out of the East India Dock for Bombay, but whose destination was actually Madeira, off which port she signalled the Laurel, then in port, from Liverpool, with Captain Semmes on board, to join her. The Liverpool Albion states that a letter has , arrived in Liverpool from Mr. Charles L. Stratton (" General Tom Thumb"), announcing his intention of arriving in Liverpool in a few days, along with his diminutive but pretty wife, and his son. He comes on a friendly visit and not to exhibit himself. On his arrival in Liverpool, he will issue invitations to the leading residents to visit him. Another victim has just been sacrificed to that dangerous trade the lucifer match •manufacture. A little boy twelve years of age, in the act of stirring :some chemicals for this work, caused them,- to explode and was burned to death. It was proved at the inquest that the accident might have been prevented if the material used had been rendered, as it could have been rendered, inexplosive. The jury caned attention to this, and to the equally important fact that children so . young as .the deceased ought not to be entrusted with combustible mate.  MR. W.
