nondence between the Belgian and English Governments, respecting a somewhat serious matter Mr. Gladstone recently received a letter in which a person, whose signature was illegible, used violent threats towards him. Amongst other things the writer stated that if Mr.^Gladstone persisted in the measures taken with regard to the Rustchuk-Yarna Bailway Company, he might expect to be stabbed or shot. This Jettev lias been written in Ghent, and posted in that city. The Eng lish Government handed the letter to our ambassador in London, who sent it to our Government for inquiry to be made. That inquiry has taken place in our city, but, not ■withstanding all the investigations made, the writer of the letter has not been secured."

A SCANDAL ON THE PRINCE OF WALES.

The London correspondent of the New York J[eraU gives the following scandal relative to the Prince of Wales. In all probability, the Prince is not so bad as he is said to be by this writer ; perhaps it was written -with no j other object than to create a sensation, or to fill his,letter with matter sure to attract the attention of the reader i —

11 London, October 4, 1869.—As you arc, no doubt, aware from report, the heir tot ho British throne is as alleged, neither given to observe the seventh commandment, nor doe 3 he attempt lo hide his shortcomings in that respect. His companions and intimate friends are all young men—unmarried noblemen — who are notorious for the immoral life they lead, and who openly boast of the conquests they nchieve, and the female companions they patronise. The Prince although married to one of the most charming women in Europe, has, it is reported everywhere, almost broken his wife's heart by hi 3 infidelities, and very much of her long-continued illness may be attributed to this source of annoyance. Curi ous to say, his Royal Highness, although by no means better than most young men of his years, mover became openly immoral till after he married. .Among the ladies first attached to the household of the Princess of Wales, •when she came to England, wa3 one of the handsomest women, on a very large scale, that was ever seen at this English Court. The lady had already been " talked about, " and her name was more or less mixed up with that of three or four well kuown personages ; but there was nothing positively known against her. However, soon after she joined the Princess's household she was evidently on far better terms with the husband than with the wife, and flirtation—l give it the mildest possible name —between her and the newly - married Prince was the talk of all London. The Queen of course has heard of the scandal and ascertaining that it was but too true, she had an interview with her son, winch was not a pleasant one for either party. To make a long story short, the Duchess had to leave the following of the Princess, but the intimacy with the Prince continued, and is generally believed, as before, and was the cause of muck unhappiness to the wife of the Future King of England. But " friendships " —again the mildest possible word—of this kind seldom remain long in the same groove. Her grace— for she is a Duchess —began to show a great liking for a Marquis, son of a mighty Duke, and himself one of the Ministers of England. The Prince of Wales did not like this. He remonstrated; the lady would not give in; and so a regular quarrel took pi ice between them, which has never yet been made up, the smiles of the Duchess being still lavished upon Marquis. But the Prince was not a bit a better child after ho had severed from her Grace. On the contrary, he was very much worse, for he took to visiting actresses, and to spending money on them ; and where he had formerly one he Had now three or four lady acquaintances. About the time -I write of— some two years ago—a famous French actress (the lady who puts, or ought to put, all modc3t women to the blush, by her acting and the lascivious gestures and looks sho introduces), came to London, and was of course surrounded by half a dozen wealthy lovers, all of whom spent fortunes on her, and all of whom were on the same footing and intimacy. Lord G , the same person who had the row with Mr. Qranville Murray, tised to drive her about openly in the Park, she sitting on the bos of his four-in hand drag, and he meeting in tho crowd of fashionables that filled the ride, his mother, sisters, relatives, and other ladies. "Would yoii tolerate such a state of things in New York? I think not. Let a man sin if ho likes, but let him not parade in the most public part of the fashionable drive of London, with a woman of that kind on the seat by his side. But what if I tell you that among the men that crowded after this foreign «• actress v. as his Royal llighnes3 Albert Ed ward, Prince of Wales, eldest son of the Queen of England, and heir to the crown of these realms? Of course the triumph of the lady was great. It is true she is nearly if not-quite thirty years older than the Prince, but this seems to make his infatuation all tho greator. In due timo Mademoiselle left London, but this did not break off the intimacy, for when ever the Prince could visit Paris or the actress came to London, it was renewed. There was only one drawback to the whole affair. For a man in his position, the Prince of Wales is not only far from rich, but he is also rery much in debt. To do him justice he is not parsimo nious, and although the queen has made him, as it were, do the honors of London for some years past, she has never increased his allow atiee by a five pound note. Now Mademoi selle like all other women of her peculiar tastes is ox'.ravngant in tho extreme, and would eat up tho revenue of the United States in jewels alone, if anyone coukl bo found fool enough to give her the same. As it i 3, she has diamonds lo the value of £80,000 ($100,000), that have been given her by va rious and wealthy lovers, the emperor of Rus sia alone having given her, in one case, a necklace, earrings, and bracelets worth 100,000, dollars. But to return to my tule. " TheUther day the Prince of Wales, by desire of A the doctors took his wife to tho sprin|»jPt Wildbad in Germany, for the sake of her health, which is still very indifferent. He remained a short time with her, and then re turned to London, leaving her with her suite at Wildbad. Of course he passed through Paris; of course he remained several days in that very wicked but very pleasant city ; and of couise he went to see Mademoiselle. Somehow or other it happened that this inter esting aciress was greatly in waist of money — as actresses generally are, at least actresses of that stamp—and requested his Royal Highno.-s to' len-l ' her a trifle of 250,000 iranea (£IB,OOO or 55,000 dollars). The Prince had not the money but was induced to sign a note or bill for the amount, payable a couple of weeks after date. Jin London hia Royal

Highness's 'paper' would have been found very difficult inrf eed, if not impossible, to dis count,^ but in Paris there are still financial agents who put faith in Princes. At any rate the bill was discounted, and did find its way in due time to London, where it was pre sented for paynent at Coutts' Bank. Tlu document not being signed by the Comptroller of the Prince's Household, had an aspect about it that the bankers did not like, and they hesitated before paying it. The Prince was abroad agiin and could not be referred to, and the story somehow got to the ears of his rojal mother. And then was there what is vulgarly called a row. The money was paid to avoid scandal; but her Majesty, who, al though in retirement, knows as well as any body what is going on, gave her eldest sou what old women call a ■ bit of her mind' upon the whole transaction, and told him pretty plainly what she thought about married men with families of their own, aud very much in debt making presents of 50,C00 dollars to •women of whom the less said the better. "

LADIES' COLUMN.

BONNETS IN PAMS.

The new boulictsin Paris extend higher above the. head than ever, and" have a sort of crown with which to cover part of the back hair now worn so low. We thought bonnets towered high enough already, but those who have seen the new ones in preparation say those of the ■winter look as though they had been sat upon, and crushed. The material to bo introduced for bonnets is China crape, and the flowers are of the pale hues in which that crape is made, or in deep rich colors forming strong contrasts with it. First among the new tints—they are too delicate to be called colors —is a pale yellow-green called Capoul, after the tenor who weai-3 a costume of this shade in " Vert vert." Next is tea-rose, a fainter salmon-pink than the apricot shade ; chair or flesh color, rase de Chine, peau or skin color, souffre or sulphur, poussiere or dust color, and, more than anything else, the ecru or unbleached buff worn last summer.

Flowers will be worn in profusion. They are mounted in clusters, without much foliage, and there are more roses than any thing else. Some of these are arranged in new an 1 pretty contrasts —a Capoul rose of finest crape on the stein with others of violet hue, or Capoul and tea roses together, or the pale rose de Chine with Capoul lilies glistening with dew.. JJunstable stravr round hats for spring wear have high tapering crowns and turned up brims curvingba.k and front, the Tyrolean crown, dented in at the top, is found among these, also a fancy crown brought to a point, which is turned over at the side like a gentle man's smoking cap. White, black, chesnut, broira, and grey straws are manufactured in these shapes.— Queen. SILK 3 POE COSTUMES. The two colors that prevail in spring mate rials are grasaille or iron-grey, and the ecru buff of last summer, ihis is observable in silks, poplins, mohairs, epingeline, serge, and in the washing materials. Urasaille silks are made up of black aud white stripes, almost too small to be distinguished. Other colors in hair stripes are shown, but grey silks will be preferred. The best qualities of these silks are warranted not to spot, nor to acquire t hat oily soiled look so common to mixed black ; and white silks. | Waterproof bluck silk is a novelty to bo introduced in Paris this spring. This is a fine i gros grain that has been dipped in a solution |of caoutchouc, which, it is said, renders it ' perfectly impermeable. It will be mora used for mamiles than for dresses, as it is very heavy. It is manufactured in Lyons, from an English patent. Among other black ailks well adapted for suits is the three-ply corded silks called " Cyclops," i and known by having a white stripe on but ' one selvedge. The drop de Lyons, commended by those who have tested it, has a satin like lustre, will not crack or split in the folds, and is too closely wrought to hold dust. --Queen. A IS'ew Coloe. —The "Eau de Nil," a new color, has been produced in Paris. It is a delicate mixture of grey and green shot with silver, which is said at every movement of the body to give to the robe " the aspect of flow ing water."

' Mb. "R. Heck has always got a pretty ' collection of jewellery, and latterly we ■ have noticed a particularly brilliant show. j Amongst other articles we were very i much pleased with a new design of a ; brooch, and ear-tings, in i\'ew Zealand gold, quite novel in its way, and admirably suited for a■' home" gift. The design includes a view of Mount b gmont, with a foreground of a kiwi, a tree fern, a flax I bush, and a canoe manned by natives. The whole is surrounded by an ornate I border, and the execution is neat and ! extremely tasteful. Designs in Australian jewellery of the kangaroo and emu have long been popular, but this is the first completely New Zealand emblematical brooch that we have seeu. We do not think that Mr. Beck will find any diffi culty in finding a sale for these beautiful articles. .
