AN EXTRAORDINARY DIVORCE SUIT. A divorce case extraordinary came before a Paris court est week. The reports in the l’gai journals tantalize the jecandal-loving public by merely giving the initials of the [pnd names—M. Madame B,—; but it is staied that ye genticman is noble, and has ail his life lived in grand style. M. Bolleau, counsel for the wife, who demanded [B separation a @ thoro, said the peculiarity of the lease was that both parties were eighty yeas old, and that had not seen each other for ulty years. He, how- lever, urged that the wife’s Jong auifering, which he at- to her delicate senzibility which shrunk from a public declaration of ber griefs, was no legal bar to the redress she now at length pong and which a sense of @aty to her children compelled her to ask for im the hape ef saving from the hands of ahoery debauciee some pemnants of a large fortune.

Froresce, June 29, 1866, COMMOTION AMONG AMERICAN ARTISTS, A rumor that the Itallan government intended te levy an exportation duty of three per cent npon all works of art sent out of Italy by American artists caused quite a panic among that class of distinguished Americans re- siding in Florence. Powers, Hard, Ball and others de- clared at once that they would be compelled to leave this city immediately and began to declaim against such & measure, which they called unjust and cqnivalent to a sentence of ostracism pronounced against them. For- tunately it was @ falso alarm, as nothing of the sort was ever contemplated by ahis government. It appears that works of art sent’to the United States by American artists are admitted froe of charge, while on works of foreign artists there is an importation duty of threo per cent. It is evi- dent, therefore, that Florentine artista who receive commirsions from Americans cannot work on the same terms on account of that tax. They, in their turn, complain of the unfairness of the government of Wash- ington for making sach distinction between native and foreign artists, and are endeavoring to prevail on their own goverument to adopt some measure im thelr favor, as the government of the United States has done in be- half of its own citizens, DIPLOMATIC RECEYTION.

AFFAIRS IN AUSTRI: OUR VIENNA CORRESPONDENCE. Vinxxa, July 8, 1866, THE MPMORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Dr. Canisius, the American Consul bere, is about hav- jog published in Vienna a work apon which he has been for somo years engaged—a hfe of Abraham Lincoln. Dr. Canisins was acquainted with Mr. Lincoln for many years, and received a large portion of the material from which his work is constructed from the great martyr’s own lips. The remainder has been supplied by members of Mr. Lincotn’s family and gathered from contempora- neous bistory. The work is written fn a popular form, and, commencing with Lincoin as a boy in Kentucky, carries him and his parents through the hard struggles of the bardy Western geitlers for existence, follows up his course, step by step, in his riper age—through his carser as a lawyer and politician; through the war for freedom and nationality, up to the hour ot martyrdom. This work will have a wide circulation in Germany, where the memory of the noble Lincoln ia very much revered; and an Eng!tsh translation of it will also be published soon in the United States, THE AMERICAN CONSULAR SYRTEM I seo that the “besom of destruction” is knocking off the honds of « number of European consuls, and that, among others, Dr. Cauisins haa been removed from Vi- enna, The American no-consular system is a disgrace to a great country, and the resu It of it is that, althougn g00d men who do credit to the nation are freqrently ap- pointed, it results also in the frequent #1 ection of others who make themselves and their government laughing stocks abroad, It is to be hoped, now that the President seems dis. posed to give these positions to mon who served their conntry during the war rather than to mere noisy poli- ticians, that you will have a better claas of representa tives abroad tian, Tam sorry to kay, you have generally had, SEAOCARY DISMIREALS, But it was not on this point particu larty that I intended to enlarge, but npon the cavalier and summary manner in which these olllcers are removed. it would be sup- pred that after a man had been allowed to reside with is family ag consul ata toreign capital that when the government saw fit to replace him they would at least give bim as long 4 notice as it ts usually Considered proper W accord to wservant giri about to be discharged.

The calamity is greater than may be at first imagined, and the embarrass- ments it will occasion have not all yet been realized. The bank was an old institution, and had many branches, and, before the present misfortune befell it, had been the means of greatly stimulating trade in the district. For many years aftor the establishmont of the bank tho capital paid up was £200,000, in sbares of £10 each, of which £5 had been paid out of surplus profits. At that time the dividend and bonus-per share was £2 annuaily, In 1860, im consequence of losses at Dudicy, the bonus waa reduced 10s, per annum, and the price of the shares, which had stood at 40, gradually fell to 28; in 1864 there was a recovery to 34, whon the bonus was raised to the old standard; and soon after the capital of the bank was raised to £300,000 by the creation of 10,000 new shares, £10 paid up, and tesued at £20 per sharo premium. On Friday week the price of the shares was 26; on the day previous to the stoppage the price was 18. At tho annual mooting held in February last tho net profits for the year wore declared at £54,122. A petition “nder the Winding-up act has been filed in favor of the bank. Itig now stated that the liabitities Will not exceed £1,700,000; but itis very difficult to say at present what are the proapects of liquidation. On Friday a deputation, composed of some of the direc- tors of this and the other banks of the town, had an in- torview with the directors of the Bank of England, and arantos to the amount of £200,000 was offered if tho could be ailorded to sustain the bit, It showa, thia was not granted. A few woeks since the directors’ themselves provided the sum of nearly £70,000, The Midland Financial Company have issned a ciren- lar announcing tuat they had withdrawn the whole of their balances with the bank several days since, and are now ina position to meet their liabilities as usual, It haa been offically announced that active measnres are being taken for reorganizing the business of this bank, it is wished that the customers and friends of the making any new arrangements with ro- unis until the reeult of a meeting, to held forthwith, can be communicated.
