Duclere, the French premier, was at one time proof reader on an obscure news-

The St. John Telegraph says that Sir Charles Tupper goes to Halifax on the 23rd inst., and will stay there until after New Year's.

Another piece of rascality by Hunter, the defaulting Montreal notary, has just come to light, the victims being the lady manag- ers of a Church of England home for aged and indigent ladies.

Advices from Sorth Africa say that Cete- wayo has signed the Zulu settlement, and will return to Zululand early in January. The British Resident and a military escort will accompany him to Ulundi, where he will be installed as King.

Although Lord Derby has entered Mr. Gladstone’s Cabinet he seems to have re- tained a certaia amount of independence. fa his speech at Manchester he made a

Indignant and disgusted at his loss, ‘he bequeathed a sum of money to pay for annna'ly stopping these holes, the overplus to be laid out in a dinner to the corper- jation. An annual dinner consequently takes place, and before the party break up they certify that the holes have been duly attended to.

The Rev. Father Voisin, who is pow in Montreal, gave a detailed account lately of jthe peri's of the missionaries, speaking highly of the work of Livingstone. He | Btates that:—‘‘There are in Central Africa fally 200,000,000 negros who have never heard the Gospel The cruleties to which the poor inh»bitents of these countries have sul-mitted are hardly to be believed, One jking, Utesa, took the lives of 500 young 'giris to have their blood for making the mortar to construct one of his buildings.

Pere Hyacinthe was driven from the ‘chapel in which he made his debut after casting off his religious habit, with a debt of 44.000 franes, which his English friends subscribed to pay, and he is now in London to get them to come again tothe rescue and subscribe for an allowance of $5 000 a year for the support of hisnew church, For the present he is very poorly lodged in the rue d’Assas, and the French papers say that the cares of matrimony begin to tell on hia temper, and that ‘he once magnificant Pere Hyacinthe is getting sour and disappointed,

At a recent School Board meeting in Lon- don the Lord Mayorailowed each candidate a quarter of an hour’s speaking. Sir John Bennet was the first to speak, and when he had gone through his fifteen minutes, the Lord Mayor brought down his hammer. ‘Is timeup?” ingnired SirJohn. ‘It is” “Not yet, I think, my Lerd Mayor,” in- sinnated Sir John. ‘*I think so,” replied the Lord Mayor. “T have two minutes more by my watch,” said Sir John, ‘‘and you can always depend uvon my watch.” This neat advertisment was received with considerable merriment. Sir John is a not- able clockmaker.

The Times of the 22nd ult., referring to Lord Salisbary’s visit to Edinburgh, thus describes the preparations made for the great dinner to him in the Corn Exchange building: —‘* He begins active operations to- morrow night in the Edinburgh Corn Ex- change, a huge bare hall which is fitted up for the occasion with everything that caa minister to the comfort of a great assembly.
