INTELLIGENCE.London, Jan.8\u2014Prince Albert Victor, heir preemptive to the throne, attained his majority to-day.and it was made an event of rejoicings throughout the country.In Lon* don the dsy opened with the ringing of bells, sad the hoisting of dags and mnsio st St.James\u2019 Palace.The University of Cambridge sent an address of congratulation to the Prince.It is rumored that Germany is very anxious ho acquire the possession of the island of Heligoland, and is willing to make some conces siona to England to obtain it.The island, which is mostly inhabited by men of Frisian descent, occupied os pilots, or in haddock or lobster fisheries, is situated near the mouths \u2022f the Elbe and Weser, and is of some importance as a port in war time, and has been retained by England since 1807- It is said that for the possession of this island Germany would be willing to surrender Angra Pequena and the rest of the territory she claims on the east coast of Africa.The winter exhibition of loan pictures bas opsned under the auspices of the Royal Academy at Boilington House.The attendance was very fashionable.There are on exhibition 256 pictures of old masters and de-eeased masters of the British school.Van Dyck\u2019s equestrian picture of Charles I., Land seer's Fallen Monarch, twenty-four Sir Joehos Reynolds, two Morelands, five Hogartbs, two Teniers, and four or five Turners, are among the most notable paintings on view.The project for the erection of a memorial ahurch to Charles Reade, over which his nephew, Compton Reade, shall be installed as first rector, is now well nnder way In the new genealogical book jost published by Joseph Foster, an elaborate account is giveo of Mr.Parnell\u2019s lineal descent from King Edward L, through the Norfolk branch ef tbe house.Canon Ltddon is hard at work on his biography of Dr.Posey, of which great things an sx pec ted.Dead*, Jan.8.\u2014Mr.Parnell arrived here OQ his way to Tburles, to take the field in person against the Tipperary rebels, who aave nominated Mr.O'Ryan for Parliament instead of Mr.O'Connor, who was tbe choice of both Mr.Parnell and Arobbtahop Croke Mr.Parnell looks weak and haggard.His ¦upportsrs at Thurles are preparing to give him a rousing welcome, but tbe friends of Mr.O'Ryan are still defiant and it is difficult to foresee the result.Coax, Jan.8.\u2014A number of gentlemen retaining from a shooting excursion were met by a party of men in Millstreet, last night, who endeavored to stop their oar.Failing to do this, they assailed the party with stones, injuring several.It is believed the assailants desired to get possession of the gnos and ammunition of the sportsmen.They escaped.Pams, Jan.8\u2014Two policemen, Norbert aad Charles Ball eric h, whose mot-ier was re-eently murdered at Grenelle, having become enraged at attacks made upon them by the ®*W*®*P« Cri du Peuple, last night they for0*® an entrance to the editorial rooms and attacked M.Due, one of the editors, with ¦words, wounding him badly.M.Due fired several shots and then held his assailants at bay until the other editors appeared.A de-spijptastruggle ensued, resulting in the disarmament of the brothers.Norbert was fatally wounded, Charles was in a state of terrible excitement when brought to the polios station.Judicial inquiry will be held.The trial of Madame Clovis Hogues, for tbs murder of her traducer, private detective Morin, opened this morning.The Court wai crowded, many diplomats and other distin gafahsd persons being present.During tbs reading of the indictment Madame Clovis Hugues seemed to Be affected, bat she replied in a firm tone to tbe questions.She admitted the shooting was préméditât sd, declaring that since May 6, 1883.«he had resolved to kill her victim.The interfbga trires, as regards facts leading to the shooting, developed nothing new.The French national heart has never forgiven Waterloo and despite the cordiality that existed between tbe Empire and England, the old bitterness breaks out at times.At present the papers are indulging in a good deal of aaglophobia, and a curions specimen of vainglory and dislike of its neighbours across the channel is exhibited in Le Pari*.That paper says that the past year has been a year of glory tor the French army and navy, and that Tooquin, Foo Chow and Formosa are points of departure of a new era.and adds that \u2018the colonial events of 1884 will cause the abssement of pretentious England and satisfy the revenge of France.Poor Louise Michel was conveyed yesterday from prison to a mad bouse.The doctors give very little hopes of her recovery.There is no doubt that her insanity was cans-sd by her solitary confinement, a punishment which M.Rochefort says is a revolting system of torture.Louise Michel was a misguided, but she was not a bad woman.Her communism was the result of her observation pf tbs wretchedness of the poor, end it cannot be laid against her that she did not practice what she preached.It is well remembered that on her voyage to New Caledonia she was p mother to her sick fellow-convioto, and ¦hand with them her very clothing to her own serious deprivation.M.Rochefort, referring to her insanity, says it was undoubtedly produced by prison discipline, and that while be was an exile he saw within six months ten prisoners who were under-going solitary inpriaonment become insane, some of whom died.Bkbun, Jan.8\u2014la the debate on Mr.Kas-son\u2019s neutrality scheme in the Congo Confer-anon yesterday, the Count de Launay, Italian Am Basse dor, proposed that tbe powers should renounce the idea of extending military action to the Congo Basin and cause the insertion of a dansa proposing recourse to mediation to friendly powers before appealing to arms.Mr.Eaeson stated that tbe object proposed was a practical, not theoretical one, and was intended to aseure tbe security of commercial Prince Wamarck and the Reichstag have afforded material for the newspaper correspondents of foreign journals who reside io this city.The Prince is touchy on the subject of newspaper criticism, and has not got hardened by half a century of abuse, and be has retaliated on tbe correspondents in a summary manner M.C rmene, who furnishes letters fur the Romano Dirillo, has been selected as the victim whose punishment is to have a salutary effect on his confrere*.He made a very bitter attack on the Chancellor, and the Chan- j celior replied by having him sent, bag and baggage, out of the city at twelve hours notice.The report is current that Mr.Lowe, the correspondent of tne London If\u2019imes, has also been given his conge.But this is extremely improbable.His utterances, while severe, have not been unfriendly.He has been for some time writing a life of the Prince, and is considered rather a privileged character at court.Bomb, jan.8\u2014Italy is beginning to feel the coiooial fever, and the people aa well as the politicians of the kingdom are complaining that the Government is lagging behind in the scramble for African acquisitions.The whole Mediterranean coast of Africa swarms with enterprising Italian merchants of all classes.Tbcso traders are invariably connected with mercantile honses in Italian cities, and especially in Naples, Leghorn, Genoa, Palermo, and Messina.Through their correspondents at home, they are fomftntikg an agitation in favour of colonial enterprises, which is daily growing in strength.It ia believed that the people will soon force the Government to declare its intentions, especially in regard to the Egyptian question.In tbe meantime, the mysterious naval preparations continue at the great arsenal and depot of La Spezzia.Madrid, Jan.8 -Fresh earthquake shocks were felt yesterday at Nerja and

Dube, aged 21, on being provoked, struck one ol them, a arter, named Brilliere.No other trouble occurred until yesterday afternoon, at about 5.30, when four of the men who had a grudge against Dube, and who, it is said, were jealous of his strength, waited for him at the corner of a street, near Rsbelle\u2019s Hotel, and there and then challenged him to fight.On his refasai to fight, the whole four of them fell upon him, and in the scofiie that followed stabbed him about the head and neck.The mi'creacts then ran off.It was only when, some time afterwards, Dube was found lying on the ground that it was discovered that he had been stabbed io several places.He was taken hume, where he died four hoars afterward.Brilliere and a man named Edmond were subsequently arrested, and more arrests

golden opportunity for Bismarck.The undertaking is too vast for any European nation to engage in, and though Franco may succeed in defeat ing the Chinese in many battles, the vie tories will be dearly

Aladdm palace, a stranger passing by asked, ((Sir, to whom does that handsome edifice belong ?\u201d \u201cThat,\" said the squire, with a sparkle in his eye, \u201cis just what I am trying to find

she or her companion had the money, and the court offioers were leading her away sobbing as if her heart would break, when \u2018Old Isaacs,\u2019 shambling up to the clerk\u2019s desk and diving into

Each pleasure hath its poison, too, And every sweet a snare.Driven back by his disappointment in love to his contemplations of heaven, Watts next wrote the hymn beginning with the linea : There is a land of pore delight Where saints immortal dwell.Watts was scarcely five feet tall, and died a bachelor.Season for Waiting.James kuow The Paris correspondent of the St.Goutte says:\u2014Buing anxious to wnether it wae true loat the plot to destroy London-bridge was concocted iu Paris, and wanting to Ûud ont woel wae the op-moo of the Iruh party in this city respecting the affair, I contrived to obuiu an introduction to a\tperson who is known to be in the dynamite conspiracy here.I found him oommooicative enongn : indifferent, perhaps, to aeeoinplished facts being known, thongh of being revealed as the cotnmuui-eant of ihetn.My informant told me that the plot to blow up Lonaon-bndge had be*-n arranged in Paris ; and the order to uo it was given tnree montas ago : by 'vh im c ndd not be told, of course, but he is now m America.Sa locg ago as September lait two men were seut over to Loadoo to carry out tne plan ;
