A New Line to the Far East. A despatch has been received at the Foreign Office from H.M. Consul-General at Havre, stating that the Chargeurs Réunis Company intend to inaugurate, in the course of the next few months, a new line of steamers between France and Indo-China. The departures will be from Dunkirk, and will take place once a month. The steamers will touch at Havre, and will proceed to Saigon and Jaiphong. The ports of call after leaving Havre have not yet been finally settled. Six large steamers which are now under construction at Havre and St. Nazaire will be assigned to the new service, as well as the Amiral Athe, Amiral Baudin, and Amiral Courbet, which are now in use on the Lorenço Marquez and Madagascar Line.

These shields are destined to fill the spandrels between the three arches of which new Kew Bridge will consist. The decorative idea is doubtless derived from the quite famous sculptured keystone-masks- on the cast and west sides of the central arch of Henley Bridge, the work, a hundred years ago, of Horace Walpole's niece, Mrs. Dawson- Damer, for which she received the thanks of the Corporation of Henley-on-Thames. These beautiful heads represent Thames and Isis; the donner a bearded face with quaint fistics peeping out from its tangled incks; while Isis is a female face in the midst of bulrushes and other aquatic plents.

Sir Arthur Sullivan's Last Work. A contemporary, is able to state that Sir Arthur Sullivan felt a fully completed work, the existence of which has hitherto been un- known to many of his friends. It is a 7e Deum, written, of course, to English words, and now in the possession of the authorities of St. Paul's Cathedral, for whom it was ex- pressly composed, to be performed at the special service which will be held on the pro- clamation of peace. Sir Arthur pat the finishing touches to this composition a very short-time ago, and it is understood to be even now passing through the hands of the printers. Apart from this, Bir Arthur has, it is stated, left no complete composition that has not hitherto been heard; for althoughthe greater part of the music of the new Irish opem has. already been delivered at the Savoy, where it was, a few weeks ago, placed in partial rehearsal, yet only two numbers of it are fully scored, and the opera must be completed by another hand.

Finally the banished princes should be allowed to return.

The aforesaid Latin had the assurance to value the loan of his understandings at £1 28., a sum which Judge Edge rightly decided to be excessive. A Turk might have exacted that amount by way of retribution for unkind remarks on Abdul, but the Italian displayed a deplorable ingratitude for Mr. Gladstone's famous pampblet on the Neapolitan prisoners.
