LONDON, February 22nd. Rumors are in active circulation on the bourses of Berlin, Vienon and Paris that the health of Emperor William of Germany aio necessitate bla spending four months in the milder climate of Italy. These rumors are accompanied by the assertion that during the proposed absence of the Emperor from his capital his brother, Prince Henry, will be placed at the head of the regency.
Advices from Berlin, however, emphatically pronounce the rumors baseless, and add that the Emperor will remain in Germany until June, when he will proceed to England on a visit to Queen Victoria.

A Departmental Committee, appointed to deal with the question of permitting English trust funds to be Invested in colonial Government securities, has drafted a report dealing on the subject. This Bill permits colonial stacks to be regarded as eligible for the investment of trust funds under certain conditions. There is also provision made enabling colonists taking advantage of the Bill to be sued in the Engilsh law courts for the payment of Interest or for other causes. The Australian Agents-General are urging Mr. Goschen to "introduce a Bilt into Parliament on the lines recommended by the Trust Fund Committe's report, which expressed an opinion that trustees should not be allowed to invest in any stock yielding more than one per cent. above the interest paid by British consols.

The Law Times, an' Influential journal with the legal profession in England, has attracted public attention by a demand for the retirement from the Bench of the Right Hon. Sir James Fitsjames Stephens, K.C.S.I, who in January 1879, was appointed to a judgeship of the High Court of Justice (Exchequer Division), vacant by the resignation of Baron Cleasby, and who has been regarded as a high authority on criminal law.
The grounds urged by the Law Times for the extraordinary proceeding on its part is, that his fordship has given demonstrations of senility and eccentricity while presiding in Courts, justifying doubts in his present competency for the work of bisoffice, and destroying the confidence of suitors and the profession in the soundness of his judge ments.

We pleniced under a beautiful clump of trees looking down upon the grand rock mass, whose being covered by the river is the sign for the Rucichow authorities to forbid the passage of junks down river as too dangerous. This rock is sup ported on three pillars, thus there are two arches to be seen beneath it, when the water is low enough. The days of this grand rocky masa standing in mid Yangtsze must ba numbered, but it may last all our time yet. We wandered through a lovely Temple on the hill, commanding the most picturesque view we have yet seen down the Bellows gorge. Unlike most Chinese temples, this, the first Szechuen temple I have seen, was really exquisitely kept, clean and well swept, with clean bright windows of many-coloured paper panes. The priests were down through a village, again all clean and polite, the images freshly painted. We came fresh as paint.

Bat the Chinese do not make roads sufficiently often to be great road-makers. Now Hupch has to continue this road through Its gorges to Ichang and the great Lo, the Marquis of Carabas of these parts, has just been up to inspect and chalk where the road is to go.
