DON Scipiona Birhère, Prince of Salmons, is about to restore the fortunes of ble hours by marrying the Duchess of Galliers, who brings him a fortune of $6,000,000. The Borghese family was rolned a few years ago by undertaking to put up new buildings in Rome on too large a scale, and was only prevented by the Inter- ference of the Government from selling the art treasures in the Villa Borghese and the Borghere Gallery. The most famous of these is Canova's statue of Pauline Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister, who married into the family.

Mr. Bridger, introduced by the Chairman, was loudly applauded as he stepped forward would to read his paper; be said he endeavour to lay before the audience to Tactical a manner as possible the best ways and means of lighting a abip by electricity and the best way to manage the plant..
