One of the matters to be decided at Eastern is said to be the marriage of ilie Grand L>uke Alexis, third son of the laf;e Emperor Alexander, with the danghtei of Prince Frederick Charley. Tins question is to be ireated first of frll, and the consent of both parties will ba the test of war or peace—the Eusso-Franco-American against the Austrian-Prussian-Italian alliance, to pull one against the other, or all, as Ihe case iiuiy be, together. The Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association, of London, is forking very successfully. A circular issued by the Association shows how wide and beneficent has been its working. In one day 4,142 horses, it was tound, drank at four troughs; and within the same short time 8,000 persons are known to have drunk at one fountain. In hot weather, like the present, it is computed that 300,000 persons daily avail ihemselves of the y«% supplied to them.
