FOREICN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. j The Paris correspondent of the Globe writes: I PARIS, June 16. | The ratifications of the treaty of Neufchatel were changed this afternoon at the office of the f?f Fo reigii Affairs. It is difficult to imagine anything more mtfefe^nsible and impolitic than the excess of zeal displayed by the majority of prefects and mayors in the departments at the present electioneering moment. That these functionaries should ex- orcise all their ioBwence in support of the government ,candidates is perfectly natural, but their tyrannical attitude and unconstitutional interference have given rite in the country to a general feeling of surprise and disgust, which; ought to attract the attention of government and lead to tk,eir official reproof. Nothing can be further from the personal ideas of the Emperor, who shines by his great tact, than this arbitrary behaviour of the prefects, who ought to be called all the more rapidly to account since the very complaints made by the Momteur and by the French go- vernment,, of the unproved intervention of Prince Vigorides i. Moldavian electioneering matters, are replied to by what is passing in every electoral district of France. My space does not permit me to publish certain circulars issued by the prefects; but it is sufficient to say that mom foolish and ul-uroed documents have never tended to make a govern- t unpopnlar. It has been a steeple-chase as to who should display the greatest absence of personal dignity in the fulsome allusions to the Emperor which fill these circu- lars, or should trample with the best will on the liberties and independence of the voters. Same of the circulars are perfectly asinine; others are blasphemous; all are of a character which an English gentleman would blush to ac- knowledge. The mayors are humble imitators of their superiors, the prefects, only they display worse grammar and longer ears. I cannot refrain, however, from translating two short extracts which bear out my remarks. One from the prefect of Dordogne reads slightly blasphemous, The government of the Emperor seeks for the triumph of its wmdidates as God seeks good, while leaving to every man the liberty of eftecting evil." The following description of the merits of a candidate proceeds from the Mayor of Chaton, aod may, I think, without injustice, be characterised as awnine- Moreover, M. Car net de Saint Martin (the L-n- vernment candidate) has recently become the son-in-law of our Prefect. This is a fresh title to your suffrages. Who could more worthily represent, in the Chambers, the ideas of the Prefect than his son-in-law ? Who could more worthily defend your interests than the gentleman who has joined his destinies to those of the daughter of the most eminent magis- trate of the department of the Seine et Oise ? According to this worthy mayor, the prefects, and not the nation, are to be represented in the new Chamber. The diplomatic world of Paris is menaced with a severe loss, from which it may-, however, perhaps recover. The minister of Hesse-Cassel will in all probability be recalled by his government, and replaced by a simple charge d'affaires, in consequence of the refusal of the Chambers at Cassel to in- crease the present salary of the Minister. Unfavourable rumours are once more current in financial circles with regard to the affairs of the Grand Central Railway, and its claim on Count de Morny. It was gene- rally thought that the difficulty in question had been settled by means of arbitration, but this does not appear to be the case. Any further allusion to this matter would be indis- creet at the present moment. A report has been circulated with much industry to the effect that the Emperor, Empress, several Marshals of trance, and some members of the Court, met recently with an accident near St. Cloud, while trying a new invention on the line. The matter has been vastly exaggerated, and the lives of their Majesties were not for a moment en- dangered. Intelligence from Teheran of the 28th April states that the Shah has the intention of sending one of his elder sons, Muzaffar Fddin, on a visit to France, England, Austria, and Russia. It was expected that this young prince, who is described as possessing great intelligence, would leave leoeran with his suite towards the end of July. Telegraphic accounts from Constantinople of the 7th, mention that the Circassians are drawing up a memorandum which they have the intention of submitting to the congress "f Paris. A letter from Ferhard Pacha (Stein) to the Austrian conduct of Rustchouk, has been seized, and its contents seriously compromise the former, who has long been supposed to entertain secret relations with the Austrian government. These relations, it is said, date back as far as the Hungarian war. The marriage of the Prince Caraman de Chimay of the Belgian family of that name, with Mdlle. de Montesquiou Fezeneac, waa celebrated this morning at the church of St. T All the fashion of Paris was present at thisTeremony
THE CORN TRADE.
THE CORN TRADE. CORN-EXCHANOE, June 17. As the arrivals have been limited, there is still some firm- ne811 in the trade, and the advance-in Wheat on Monday is supported. Little alteration has occurred in Barley, but the advance in Oats has been maintained. Beans and Peas exhibit scarcely any variation. NEWCASTLE, June 16. There was increased demand for wheat, and all was readily sold at an advance of from 2s to 3s on the rates of this day week. Other articles were unchanged. In the cattle-market the trade in beasts was less active, but at full prices.' The mutton trade was somewhat slug- glish, at barely late rates, but lambs sold freely. Beef, 6s 6d to 9s 3d per stone; mutton, 7d to 74 per lb lambs, 8d to 9d per lb. SHEFFIELD, June 16. At this market to-day there was a good supply of grain, particularly of wheat, and trade was much brisker than for some weeks past. An advance in wheat of Is to Is 6d per load of three imperial bushels was obtained, and an advance of Is per quaner in oats. In other grain prices were un- altered. In the cattle-market there was a very poor show of beasts, and business was exceedingly limited. Pigs were plentiful, and higher terms were asked. Milch cows sold at j615 to < £ 24; barren beasts, S9 to 914; calves, 10s to 40s store pigs, 17s 6d to 63s; porkers 7s 6d to 7s lOd per stone. The hay and straw market was well supplied. Terms :— Hay, 85s to 105s; wheat straw, 36s to 42s; oats, 50s to 5os green fodder, 18s to 22s per ton. HULL, June 16. The weather has been favourable, and in every way suit- able for the growing crops, and the general appearance of the country is promising. The continental accounts speak favourahly of the wheat plant; but rye has suffered in many parts from want of rain, and prices are advancing in consequence. The wheat trade during the week has been active, and the upward movement still continues; the deliveries of home-grown wheat appears scarcely to keep pace with con- sumptive requirements, and there has been a brisk sale for foreign at an advance of Is to 2s per quarter. At our market this morning we had only a short supply of English wheat, which was taken up readily by millers at an advanee of 2s to 3s per quarter. Foreign also in request at a similar improvement, but demand confined to immediate consumption. Spring corn of all descriptions moves off at prices in favour of the sellers.

THE ARMY AND :NAvY.In the year 1856-57 the gross number of men borne on the Army Estimates apiounted to 273,079; the number for service in India to 26,363, the number for service at home to 76,787, the number for colon- ial service to 36,145, the number for service at the seat of war in the East to 133,784, and the total number voted to 246,716. The amount of the original and-the revised esti- mates was, respectively, £ 3i,908,504 and £ 20,249,084. The total number voted in 1855-56 was 193,595, and in preceding vests (going back fn regular rotation as far as 1850.51), 142,776, and 99,128. The number voted since 1S28, inclusive, has varied from 81,271, the minimum, the maximum (fast year). The num- bers, however, voted prior to "lait year, are inclusive of the men voted lor the Ordnance,. the estimates for which were not then amalgamated with those of the army and commissamt. Including the Ordnance, the number voted between 1828 and 18oo-56, varied from 89,523 to 215 941 the. n umbe/ oted for the Ordnance alone having varid from 8,242 to 22,246. So much for the army. As regards the navy.it appears that the total number voted in 1856-57 amounted to. 76,000 for three and 56.000 for nine months, at an expense of zeli,812,127.. The number voted since 1828 has varied from 26,500 (the minimum of ]835-36, Mr Cobden's model year) to 70,000. The estimates have varied during the same period from f434,783 (in 1835-36) to £ 18,835,594 {\n 1855-56.) The number in- the last year of perfect peace (1853-51) was 45,500. and the amount 6,362,592. In 1854-55 the number jumped up fo 63 500 and the amount to £14,04,765. The above interesting sta- tistæs are de?ve? from a return' moVèd for by Mr Sidney Herbert, J* Herbert, M. T.' ? ?
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSOCIATION.
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSOCIATION. For a long time we trative Refor- -a ve heard nothing of thé Adminis- electi^ —* Association. J list before the general <-• _—>, mdcedj A feeble manifesto was put forth by the ,"Inairmàtl, Mir. ftdebtick, but it made no impression and attracted tto notice. The Roebuck Ministry did not inspire confidence, and it was overwhelmed neither by business nor revenue. From that time to this the Association has not come to the surface of public affairs until on Tuesday, when it appeared in the Court of Queen's Bench, as the defendant in an action brought by one of its late servants. From the report of the proceedings in the Court we obtain a glimpse of the interior of the Association. There seems to be considerable arrangements for business, but little business stirring. In the summer of 1856 Mr. Roebuck formed his Ministry for the regeneration of the country, and the reform of the House of Commons through the constituencies. His famous address, sketching a grand plan of action, filled the soul of Mr. Henry Wait Hall-who had for many years been actively engaged in election matters at Bristol-with admiration. He saw in the programme of the Association no end of work-a career, in fact. So he wrote to Mr. Roebuck, saying-" For the first time we have now got the right man in the right place." All that Mr. Roebuck wanted to place him at the head of our Govern- ment" was an efficient subordinate staff." "I now," continued Mr. Hall, cheerfully tender my services, and on any terms you please. My heart is in the cause." But the flattery, rather thickly laid on it must be confessed, did not touch the new Premier. Mr. Roebuck did not answer the letter. Not thus to be balked in his devotion, Mr. Hall wrote to Mr. Morley, and in little more than a month after he first communicated with Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Hall was installed as the legal officer" of the Association at two guineas per week, and sat in an apartment marked Legal Department" on the outside. As described by himself, Mr. Hall was entrusted with great duties. He was to conduct Parliamentary contests, and support or oppose election petitions-from which source his sanguine mind saw £1,000 a-year flowing into the pocket of Henry Wait Hall He was to compile "a gazetteer of constituencies," and give information on registration matters. He was to write letters to Mr. Roebuck on real or imaginary grievances." What a contrast between this work and that of his pre- decessor, who received X300 a-year for taking snuff and reading the Times newspaper." What amount of work Mr. Hall did we know not. But one thing he did. He wrote and published a pamphlet on the degraded condition of the House of Commons, which Mr. Roebuck did not object to, but which the Council of the Association did. Mr. Hall was dismissed after two months' service in the cause he was only paid two guineas a week for his time and he brought an action for f,151 18s. Unfortunately the account given by Mr. Hall, and the circumstances attending his engagement, by Mr. Revans, the honorary secretary of the asssociation, an account be- lieved by the Jury, did not coincide with that of Mr. Hall. According to this statement the "legal officer" was ap- pointed at a salary of two guineas a week. As a reason for adopting a weekly engagement Mr. Revans told him that "the funds of the Association were derived from subscrip- tions that might fail at any moment,"—too true, alas, that the public should be so apathetic Mr. Hall was not told to attend to public petitions. It was no part of our object to conduct petitions. As to the pamphlet, which engrossed the time of Mr. Hall, almost as much as taking snuff and reading the newspaper had occupied the time of his prede- cessor. the Association would have nothing to do with it, and even grumbled with the author for writing it in office hours." The result was that Mr. Hall, Attorney-General of the Association, at two guineas a week, was dismissed because "his views and those of the Association were not in harmony. The Jury believed the evidence of Mr. Revans, and gave a verdict adverse to Mr. Hall. The inference which the public will draw from the case we need hardly anticipate. There is much cry and little wool. The best symbol of the Association is Mr. Hall's predecessor taking snuff and reading the Times-the ma- terial and the mental stimulant a discretion. Whether Mr. Hall was too vigorous for the association, whether he had formed too sanguine a notion of the vastness of the enter- prise, whether his faith in the gigantic capabilities of the Association as a joint-stock reformer, was too great-these are questions we will not discuss. At any rate it is clear that although Mr. Roebuck's solemn appeal to his country last summer failed to win confidence from that country, it had important consequences; it ravished the confidence of Mr. Hall; and through him we are reminded of the exis- tence of the Association, by its uprising at his summons, as defendant in a court of law. The association should really pass a vote of thanks to its late legal officer" for enabling it once more to appear in public.— Globe.
ICAREER OF HUMPHREY BROWN.…
CAREER OF HUMPHREY BROWN. I The Morning Star says Mr. Brown is in many respects as remarkable an adventurer as the present century has pro- duced. His father was a large barge-owner on the river Severn, carrying on an extensive trade, and was esteemed a pious, industrious and respectable man. His residence was at Tewkesbury, where his eldest son Humphrey was born. He had also another son and a large family of daughters, who are all comfortably married. From early youth Hum- phrey evinced a taste for speculation, which grew with his growth and strengthened with his strength until he has now become the victim of this accursed Moloch. On his father's death he was left in possession of a large and lucrative trade as carrier, which, however, in his hands was so unduly ex- tended as speedily to collapse, and in a few years he became a bankrupt. Then we find him going into business as a cement manufacturer in Birmingham, and supplying the country far and wide with a patent article in this way which was to supersede all other descriptions by its low price and good quality. Here again his views were too extensive for his pocket, and the cement manufactory was soon closed. Afterwards he embarked in a variety of speculations, was clerk in a merchant's office, turning to other temporary shifts, living in the most precarious manner until the railway mania of 1846, which formed the foundation of his fleeting fortunes. At this time the traffic of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway was at a low ebb, and Humphrey Brown was recommended as a person who would find some means of diverting traffic to the line. He knew the localities, was a man of shifts and resources, and just the official for the place. Well, he was to attend <t meeting of the board at Birmingham, and it is a well-authenticated fact that he had not the means of paying his fare there, no one would lend it to him, and he walked the whole distance, and was appointed traffic manager of the line. It is quite certain that he did vastly improve the prospects of the railway, bringing on traffic from far and near; and taking advantage of his position, being, as it were, behind the scenes, he dabbled in shares, was one of the lucky men of the mania, and returned to Tewkesbury in two years with X70,000, while he had left it with a solitary half-a- crown. Now he might have settleddown comfortably, bnt his old demon of speculation still lurked within his breast. He bought a handsome residence in the borough turned the theatre into a silk factory, purchased landed property in the vicinity, and was returned member to the House of Com- mons by an enormous majority. Those who would not lend him the means to pay his fare but a short time back were now the most vehement in his praise. Brown and Tewkes- bury were henceforth identified with each other. His portrait was lithographed, and hung in everybody's parlour; his name was blazoned in handbills as chairman of every meeting, whether for religious, local, or political purposes. He was looked upon as the most independent" member of the House of Commons, of fabulous wealth, enterprising spirit and unbounded liberality. It was true he was no orator' made fearful orthographical blunders in composition, and, aspirated with astounding energy on the hustings. He had plenty of money, and spent it profusely, which was an ample passport to the sweet voices of the multitude. His parliamentary duties called him to London, and here, falling in with kindred spirits, he embarked on that sea of specula- tion on which he has so often buffeted with its billows, or sailed into the harbour of fortune with a favouring breeze. A mere catalogue of the schemes with which he was mixed up would fill an ample volume, but they embrace such enterprising undertakings as opening up new slate quarries in Merionethshire, working prolific gold mines in California, extending railway communication throughout Ireland, with a host of other gigantic proposals, any one of which should suffice to absorb the energies of any man and all this time he was freighting vessels to Calcutta, Melbourne, America, and other parts of the world. He built a splendid pile of warehouses at Gloucester, was importing alike into Liver- pool, London, and Cardiff; and with all this accumulation of private and parliamentary duties he must, forsooth, be a director of the Royal British Bank, and manager of their Glamorganshire works into the bargain. Hercules himself could not have satisfactorily disposed of the multifarious labours taken in hand by this man, who, now a fugitive from justice, is spoken of with scorn even in his native town of Tewkesbury, where but yesterday he was presented with a piece of plate, and if not brought back to the bar of the Old Bailey, will end his career as an outlawed exile, and a melancholy example of the sin of inordinate speculation."

THE FRIENDS OF THE CLERGY CORPORATION. — The seventh anniversary festival of this society was held on Wednesday evening at the London Tavern. The Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, M. P., presided, and in the course of bis speech said, The object of the society was to grant pensions of between X30 and JE40 a-year to the widows, orphans, and unmarried daughters of clergymen of the Established Church, and to offer assistance to clergymen in times of temporary distress. The number of clergymen in England, Wales, and Ireland amounted to more than 18,000 and the average income of by far the greater number was not above £100 per annum. This fact atforded the strongest appeal in behalf of a society which sought in some small degree to remedy the consequences of such a state of things. There were at the present time 76 ladies pensioners on the funds, and 128 applicants for admission." There was a full attendance of the friends of the institution. The contribu- tions during the evening amounted to £ 466, and the sub- scriptions in the course of the year have realized to the society £5,000 The dinner was excellently served, and the musical arrangements, under the direction of Mr. Francis, gave the greatest satisfaction. Mr. Harker was the toast- master. FATAL EXPLOSION AT CURTIS AND HARVEY'S GUN- POWDER MILLS.—One of these awful visitations which so often occur in gunpowder factories took place on Tuesday morning at the mills of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey on Hounslow-heath, near the village of Bedfont, whereby the life of one man, named Greaves, was sacrificed, and two others, named Walker and East, are in imminent jeopardy. This accident was rather singular in its character. The machiner3 was at rest, and undergoing the process of cleaning and adjusting, when Walker saw fire raised by the implement in the hand of East, which leaves no doubt as to the origin. As no tools otherwise than copper or brass are allowed within these buildings, it is impossible to account for the cause of this accident. The machinery, though displaced, is little injured, from the small quantity of material which happened to be within the House. The building itself is of course entirely destroyed. [The foregoing account we have received from an official source but we have since ascertained that one man was killed upon the spot, and that another, who was frightfully burnt, died shortly after one o'clock. The third man was said to be alive between eight and nine o'clock last night, but was not expected to survive .-Morning Post.
I EXTRACTS FROM Tills WEEK'S…
I EXTRACTS FROM Tills WEEK'S PUNCH. I EFFECTS OF THE COMET'S SHOCK. The Great Comet struck the earth (which, with the moon, is as well as can be expected) precisely at half-past two o'clock on Sunday last. The shock and terror produced a most beneficial effect upon great numbers of persons, and among the instances in which the Visitation caused the most satisfactory results, Mr. Punch has heard of the follow- ing:— Mr. Spooner, seeing an Irish Popish beggar woman before his window, ran out, and gave her sixpence. Air. Newde- gate, who had been lunching with him, called out, Give her another for me, and I'll toss you for the shilling." Then, remembering it was Sunday, he retracted the offer, and pitched the poor woman half-a-crown. The Editor of the Morning Advertiser, who had just penned an account of the conversation at the last Cabinet Council, recollected that he had, as a Member of the Council, been sworn to secrecy, and made the article into spills. Mr. Charles Kean sent for a great number of the members of his Company, forgave them for having compelled him to discontinue speaking to them, and permitted them to kiss his hand, and hear him read a complimentary letter from Colonel Phipps. Lord John Russell wrote to Lord Palmerston, confessing that he had intended to accept office for the purpose of up- setting the Government, but that he had repented, and, to avoid temptation, would remain in a back row. He added that he did not care whether Lord Somers would have ap- proved his conduct or not. The Bishop of Oxford countermanding his carriage and a hot dinner, and putting some hard boiled eggs into his pocket, walked over to a suburb, and did duty for a hard- worked curate, with whom his lordship afterwards took tea, sharing the eggs, and never patronising his host for a moment. Mr. Wiggles, the comedian, indignantly removed twenty or thirty pounds of wadding from the antipodes of a new pair of farce trousers, and resolved to rely for future succes- ses upon a blacked face or other legitimate effects. Mr. and Mrs. Nagger, who had determiued to apply for the Dunmow flitch of bacon on the 2.5th, looked angrily at one another, and felt so ashamed of the hypocrisy thev had been about to practice, that Mrs, Nagger went off to her mother's and Mr. Nagger to Herne Bay. to await the pas- sing of the Divorce Act. Mr. G. W. M. Reynolds sent to decline to contribute a ny longer to the columns of the Saturday Review. Mr. Lumley despatched a letter to Mr. Gye, ofl'ering to lend him any vocalist at Her Majesty's Theatre, if Mr. Gye thought of taking a benefit. and his footman crossed a messenger from Mr. Gye with an offer to place the elite of the Lyceum orchestra at Mr. Lumley's disposal for any intended revival in the Hay market. Dr. Whewell went to Sir David Brewster's, and sent up his compliments, and a hope that whether other worlds con- tained organic matter or not, Sir David would come and take a friendly smoke with him. Sir David came running downstairs, and dragged the Doctor up to whiskey toddy, I and they drank confusion to the solar system generally and everything else that set sensible meu squabbling. An Idiot, who was going to forward some conscience- money to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for arrears of hair-powder duty forgotten in 1827, had his mind sufficiently enlightened to perceive his folly, aad he enclosed the cheque to the Westminster Hospital. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, who had been medidating vengeance against the Times for hinting that his morality (as a writer) was questionable, looked up a definition of a questionable" thing, and finding that it was a thing which admitted of two decisions, philosophically decided the point in his own way, and sent tne editor a splendid meerschaum. as a pipe of peace. All the vendors of Morrison's pills burned their stock an r, hanged themselves, as did several Booksellers in Holywel street. Every good and sensible person, except Mr Punch, took up the last number of that gentleman's publication. Mr. Punch began to write the number now in the hands of the reader. FLYING NOTES FROM THE NOTE-BOOK OF THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE. (Taken a Vol d' Aiole during his four-and-twenty hours' stay in England.) Liberty of the Press.—The privilege of insulting one's superiors with impunity. Climate.-Smells of beer, fog, and licentiousness. British Army.—Toy soldiers. One French soldier would lick three English, one Russian soldier would lick three French ditto. Vide Crimean campaign passim. English Maidens.—Attenuated pieces of insipidity, aver- aging five and six feet long, with red hair and noses to match. Can't talk French. Prime Minister.—The greatest slave in the world—the slave of the people. He fancies he rules the mob. Fool! it is the mob that rules him. British Officer.-One who joins the army to enjoy his competency, and to prove his incompetency. English Art.—The execution so terrible that, as at a military execution, every person, who is exposed to it, ought to have his eyes bandaged first. British Navy-Very pretty ornaments for the outside of Russian walls. Sir Charles Napier.—I do not know whether like, Peter the Great, hq ever worked at Woolwich Dockyard, but cer- tainly no one has ever done the Russian navy so much service since the days of our first Czar. Scratch his dear old poll, and, I am sure, as Napoleon said of every Russian, you would find a Cossack underneath. Portmnouth.-Not a bad position for a Russian Harbour. The British Empire.—A nice little hunting ground some day for Russia to shoot over. Public Opinion.—The despotism of the many. Sir Robert Peel.—His hot blood wants cooling a little in a refrigerator like Siberia. Reform.—The Toy that a statesman throws to the British public the moment it begins making a noise. It is perfectly harmless, and it is not of the slightest consequence how often it gets broken. The liberation of the Serfs in Russia-the Constitution in Spain-the Charter in Prussia-are all toys constructed upon the same hollow principle. London.—A monster money-box-the largest, perhaps, in the world—but of no value beyond the money it contains.

A mirror is the only tolerated medium of reflection upon woman's beauty, and it is the last that is discarded. Every lie, great or small, is the brink of a precipice, the depth of which nothing but Omniscience can fathom. A rapid mind continually struggles, the feeble one limps' but a great mind selects the surest point, and upon these it stands. Recreation is a second creation, when a weariness has almost annihilated ond's spirits. It is the breathing of the soul, which otherwise would be stifled with continual business. HE THAT DOES YOU AN ILL TURN WILL NE'ER FORGIE YOU (Scotch).—"The injurer never pardons"—(Ital.) — "Since I wronged you I never liked you." (Spanish). The same thought is thus expressed by Tacitus: —" It is in the nature of man to hate one whom you have injured.' Voltaire wrote to a person who had behaved very badly to him, "I beg your pardon for having been treated scurvily by you." DETECTION OF A SHAM IDIOT.—The application of the piocess of etherization has just been resorted to in Belgium as a means of acquiring judicial information. After a considerable robbery committed at Brussels in November last two men named Lerch and Daubner were arrested and brought to trial. The former was condemned to bard labour for life, but in consequence of the latter pretending to be dumb and idiotic his trial was postponed, in order that a medical investigation should take place. It was found impossible to get even a sign of intelligence from him. As it was, however, known that he was not born dumb, and that he had spoken, when he said that be could speak no language but German, ae was etherized, and while labouring under the effect of that application he spoke perfectly and in French. He was in consequence again brought up before the tribunal, and condemned to 10 years' hard labour. THE BEST AUTHORITY.—Is he a burglar, or of the swell mob ? I do not accuse him of occupying either position (which would be libellous), but I ask for information. Because my mind is tormented by his perpetually getting into houses into which he would seem to have no lawful open way, and by his continually diving into people's pocket- books in an otherwise inexplicable manner. In respect of getting into the Queen's Palace, the Boy Jones was a fool to him. He knows everything that takes place there. On a late auspicious occasion, when the nation was hourly expecting to be transported with joy for the ninth time, it is surprising what he knew on the question of chloroform. Now, Doctor Locock is known to be the most trustworthy even of doctors; and Her Majesty's self-reliance and quiet force of character have passed into au axiom. I want to know, therefor, how, when, where, and from whom did the Best Authority acquire all that chloroform information which he was, for mouths, prowling about all the clubs, going up and down all the streets, having all London to dine with him, and going out to dine with all London, for the express purpose of diffusing ? I hope society does not demand that I should be slowly bothered to death by any man, without demanding this much satis- faction. How did he come by his intelligence, I ask ? The Best Authority must have had an authority. Let it be produced. I have mentioned the pocketbooks in which he deciphers secret entries—many of them written, probably, in invisible ink, for they are non-existent even to the owner's eyes. How does he come by all the ambassador's letter-bags, and by all the note-books of all the judges? Who gave him all the little scraps of paper that the late Mr. Palmer wrote and handed about in the course of his pro- tracted trial ? He tells all sorts of people what was in them all; he must have seen them, surely. Who made out for him the accounts of this journal ? Who calculated for him the sum total of profit? And when will it be quite conveni- ent to him to name an early day for handing over to the Conductor the very large balance, with several ciphers at the end of it, which clearly must be owing the said Conduc- tor, as he had never laid hands on it yet ? How did he get into the Russian lines? He was always there just as he was always in the English camp, and always coming home to put Mr. Russell right, and going back again. It was he who found out that the Commissariat would not give The Times rations of pork. and the porkless Times would never afterwards leave the Commissariat alone. Had he known much of the Russian leaders before the war, that he began to talk of them so familiarly by their surnames as soon as the first gun was fired ? Will any of us ever forget, while memory holds her seat in those distracted globes, our aching heads, what we suffered from this man in connexion with the Redan ? Can the most Christian of us ever forgive the lies he told us about the Malakhoff ? I might myself over- look even those injuries but for his having put so many people up to making plans of that detested fortress on table- cloths with salt-spoons, forks, dessert-dishes, nut-crackers, and wine-glasses.-Dickcns' "Household Words." THE MOORS.-The accounts about the grouse from the different parts of the county are favourable, and should the weather keep mild for this month there will be every prospect of good sport this season. It is likely there will be a good many changes this year in the shooting quarters, the demand for which is still increasing, and the rents for negy leases have advanced from 30 to 100 per cent. above former years. -.Perashir6 Courier.

To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of life within life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, B E D F O R D SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member ot' the University of Edinburgh, Hono- rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Sucicty, Licentiate of Apoth cear;es' Hall, London, le., ;c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregu- larities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazard- ed the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

GENTLEMEN,— IT is impossible for me adequately to express the grati- tude I feel for that triumphant demonstration of confidence and kindness, which has achieved my return to Parliament as one of your Representatives. If an earnest desire to serve and to please you be a proof of gratitude, 1 may yet hope to evince it by my conduct. I have been befriended by all parties, by those at a distance, as by those around me and the Electric Telegraph has conveyed to me the gratifying assurance, I WILL SUPPORT YOU." To all of you who have laboured so industriously in my cause, redeeming by your energy the short time that was before us, to all who have uttered a kind word for me, or cherished a wish for my success, regretting that circumstances will not give me leisure to address you individually, I now return my heartfelt thanks, with a fervent hope that the generous confidence, which you have so nobly reposed in me, may never appear to have been misplaced.. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your ever grateful and obedient Servant, DAVID PUGH. Manoravon, 16th June, 1857. WELL-BRED HUNTERS.
