The death of George Granville, Duke of Sutherland, is an

incident of political as well as social importance. He died at Trentham, on Thursday evening, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. He had been long suffering from illness. He is succeeeed by his son the Marquis of Stafford. Lord Palmerston has another Garter to give away.

In a debate on the Address in the French Senate, on Thursday, Senator Pietri, formerly Prefect of Police, and the late Imperial Com- missioner in Italy, said "The temporal power of the Pope is lost. We must confine ourselves to the preservation of his spiritual power. We must consider the attitude of the reaction which has again raised its head, and must determine our line of conduct. Italy has an army of 300,000 men, which she willplace on our side in the conflict with which we are threatened."—Tekgrant.
