No less ‘than fifteen of the husbands, brothers or lovers saf these ladies have challenged the President -of the Council, although the wife of the latter ‘bas declared in the Gazette di Firenzi, in re- sponse to the demand of the Marquis Pepoli, a vnelative of Madame Ratazzi, for reparation on account of an alleged slanderous description of himself, “that she did not mean to describe or offend any one.” The friends of Signor Ratazzi have appointed a jury of honor to decide upon his responsibility in the promises, end the question is still under consideration swhether he shall listen to the clamor of the ‘Irate fifteon, who seem bent on ordering pistols ‘and coffee for thirty. The novel which has provoked all this scandal must be still more sensational than that which a few years ago occasioned the exile of the ‘Princess de Solms from Paris, and was ‘guppressed by order of her imperial cousin, ‘Napoleon IIL, at the urgent demand of M. Schneider, the actual President of the French Corps Législatif, whose name was translated *M. Tailleur” in the piquant revelations of his @omestic life, which were made by the present wife of Signor Ratazzi. The exiled authoress “transferred to Turin the solid charms which the eculptor Pradier had fondly immortalized in marble. Her subsequent presentation at court ya late ex-minister of the United States at Turin proved a, fresh occasion for scandal, which was increased rather than allayed by her marriage to Signor Ratazzi. Madame Ratazzi Sis the daughter of Princess Letitia Bonaparte ‘and the late Sir Thomas Wyse, the learned Irish Waronet, to whom England is so largely “indebted for its approximation to a national ‘eystem of education, aud who won such dis- ‘tinction as Minister Plenipotentiary to Greece. She is a granddaughter of Prince Lucitn, the Prince de Canino.

The Roman Pontifical Academy has held an extraor- dinary sitting at the Quirinal. The old King Louis of Bavaria, who is an honorary member of the society, ‘was present, with a large number of cardinals, and was received *by the perpetual secretary, Commander Vie- conti. Cardinal Bilso opened the proceedingr by « speech on the history of Rome, predestined to passfrom Pagan grandeur to Christian eminence. A coliation was served, at which King Louis proposed the first toast to the health of the Sovereign Pontiff, after having expressed his veneration of the Holy Father and formed the most ardent desires for the health of his Holiness. Cardinal Allieri, as protector of the Academy, thanked him in the name of the Pope. The Journal de Montfort (Basses Alpes) announces the destruction, by fire, of one of the greatest curiosities in the neighborhood, namely, the celebrated oak called the Chéne auz Vendeurs, whose origin was said to date as far back as 1002, and which measured not less than twenty-five feet in circumference, Its same was de- rived from the fact that under it wers formerly settled all the agreements for cutting down timber in the neighboring forests. The piercing of the Mount Cenis tunnel is proceeding at the rate of 5 64 metres a day. In the English House of Commons om the 8th of May, the greater part of the sitting was occupied with a debate on a bill for the repeal of the law of hypothec in Scot. land—a law which enables a landlord to seize for rent the crop or live stock of a defaulting tenant even after the produce has been removed from the farm and sold bona fide to a third person. The bill ‘was thrown out by a Jarge majority, and a measure pro- posing merely a modification of the law war read o second time, apparently without discussion.

(From Gatiguant’s Messongor, May 9.) The Saxon Chamber of Deputies, wo bavo already mentioned, has adopted the federal constitution. But the members did so with reluctance, and in order to spare the country the humiliation of secing it forced om the inhabitants, They had bailed universal suffrage with joy, but they see in the federal constitution omly s mili- tary dictatorship, the work of despotism and the tri- amph of violence. The following is a report of the sitting :— ‘Tho ordor of the day was the discussion on the oon- atitution of the Confodoration of Nort hera Germany. ‘Mpa Micumy, Vice President, explained why he should vote for the project at preseat, whereas he bad opposed it at Berlin, If after her victories of 1866 Prus- sia had re-established the constitution voted by the Par- Mameat of Frankfort im 1849, all Germany would hay: tion might have still graver inconveniences, cm- ig the means at the disposal of the central Power.

(Loud cheers.) M. pe Retwnaro said that it was under compulsion and with repugnance he should vote the measure. This con- stitution did not create a federal state but a-military dic- tatorship; it was deficient tn the most essential guaran- toes, and it was. not constituted to gather under the wings of the Northern Confederation the Sonth of Ger. many, and still leas tbe bi Germans oxpelled fore: trom the fatherland hy the treaty of Prague, ‘M. BxrtnG adhered to a certain degree to the language of the Viee President. He and his friends only voted for the constitution at Berlin because they wished to avoid having it imposed by force, M. Rixpst would not onlarge on the details of the ‘measure, for he had disoussed them sufficiently at Ber- lin. He’ had joyfatly hatled untvereal and direct suf- ferage, for he thought that be who conferred them with one hand would not with the other destroy the Uberties of the peopie. ‘The coustitution of the North was based on a military dictatorship, and was an emanation of absolutism. That was why he voted against it, M. Fausax would have supported the scheme despite ali its defecte if it had accorded indemnities to the deputies. The provision adopted in aa opposite sense determined him to vote against it. M. Manntaw considered that violence had Leen the foun dation of the work then under consideration, If thoy were to reject it, it would nevertheless be imposed on them by force, "The question was simply whotier it should come into vigor with the sanction of the people. On his part he would not give his consent, aud should vote against it. M. Gunvuxn recognized the vieos of the constitution, but the Assembly was not free; it was on the ground of accomplished facts, M. Skuxer could only vote in favor of the measure with grief, and would prefer to oppose it, M. pe Pxissex, Minister of State, renounced any attempt to expla in general manner the position of the government with regard to the constitution, and contented himeelf with replying to some particular points raised by preceding speakers, Among ot! he stated that, as tothe question of indemnities, bad always been of opinion that universal and direct suf- frage required a corrective, and that safeguard consisted in the gratuitousness of functions. Whe general discussion being closed, the Chamber vated on the following questions:—Does the Chamber adopt, without change, the constitution of the Confed- eration of the North such as bas been presented by the royal decree of the 28th of April, and does it authorize tho government to execute the dispositions contained in that constitution, insomuch as its authorization is neces- sary ? ‘The result was, as has been announced, the adoption by 67 votes to 7.
