Her clothes are rather comely than costly, and she maketh plain cloth to be velvet by her handsome wearing it. —Fuller THE RETREAT FROM RUSSIA.—The General-in-Chief is the ueneral Campana a m;,u IlJUlh esteemed and beloved, alld known to be a gallant officer. He served under Muraf, and made with him the campaign (,f Russia. On the retreat from Moscow he lost the fingers of his left hand by the cold. His details of what they suffered were dreadful. He said that ail the officers, Murat included, were on foot ev-,n Berthier, un«leldy and gouty was obliged to walk, and his tenses began to fail him. Napoleon was always in a car- riage or on horseback He describes the men as preserving a morose silence, nuther complaining nor murmuring. Nothing was to be seen but wastes of snow, and black lines of vast pine forests. —nothing to be heard but the bowline of the wolves feeding on the unbuned carcasses, and the horses of the Cossacks, as they hung upon the flanks and rear of the retreating .olumns.

VARIETIES.
VARIETIES. Voltaire had a perfect horror of inquisitive pers ms. 11 s,id to olle of ttiolli, Sir, I am delighted to see you, bit I give you fair warning-1 know nothing about what yo_i are going to ask iiie." An intelligent farmer, being asked if his horses were well matched, replied, Yes, they are matched fir,t-i-at, on • of them is willing to do all the work, and the other 1, willing he should." The following epitaph conveys a back-handed compliment (unconsciously, no doubt) to the unfortunate deceased lor.i and master:—"Maria Brown, wife of Timothy Brown, aged eighty years. She lived with her husband titty years, and died in the confident hope of a better life." A fellow roused a venerable doctor about twelve o clock one cold winter's night, and on coming to the door, coolly inquired, flitte you lost a dog, Mr. Br,),v;i ?" I I No, growled the victim. Well, never mind, said the waj, I thought I'd just call and inquire, for I found one yesterday." Poetry permits her votaries to indulge in m:my meta- phorical ideas, but the latest one we have met with is positively the most original. 11 ear With eye of fire, majestical he rose, And spoke divinely through his double-barrel! ) d nose.tt When at college, Surtees, the hist irian of Durham, was waiting on the Dean of Christehurch, ou business, and, feeling coldish, stirred the firs. "Pray, Mr. Surt^ ees, said the great man, "do YOll think that any other under- graduate in this college would have taken that liberty? 11 Yes, Mr. Dean," was the reply, any one as cool as I am Mother, where's Bill ?" My sou, do not let me hear you say Bill again. You should say William." Well mother, where's William ?" In the yard, feeding the ducks." "Oh, yes, I see him now. But, mother, what makes the ducks have such broad williams ?" Go out to your brother, directly, you little scamp, or I'll box your ears."—American Paper. A Ci,i,,N,Eit Tri,A lawyer, who was sometimes for- getful, having beeu engaged to plead the cause of an offender, began by faying -"I know the prisoner at the bar, and he bears the character of being a most consum- | mate and impudent scoundrel." Here somebody whispered to him that the prisoner was his client, when he imme- diately continued But what great and good man ever lived who was not calumniated by many of his cou- temporaries ?" THE VANITY OF THE FOET MOORE.—JL discovered early, and was greatly surprised at Moore's sensitiveness on two points namely, bis own littlenesi of stature, and the opinions of persons of bon-ton. I remember his telling me one day, as we went out together in a carriage to Ver- sailles to a dinner-party, that while he was at the univer- sity, and about seventeen or eighteen years of age, he was greatly tempted to hang himself in actual despair. On pressing him for the cause of such extravagant regret, for a personal defect which a strong mind should rise above, he said it was fear of his small stature being a bar to all chance of success with the fair sex."—" Beaten Paths," by T. C. Grattan. Some of Sheridan's best jokes are those which take a sarcastic turn. Even his son did not always escape the keen thrust of his gibes. Upon young Sheridan saying that if ever he got into Parliament he would write on his forehead, "To be let," the father advised him to add the word" unfurnished," When Lord Lauderdale laughed at one of his jests, and promised to repeat it, Sheridan begged him to refrain from doing so, 11 for," said he, a joke in your mouth is no laughing matter His power of sting- ing with sharp saying did him good service on one oc- casion, when, as it is stated, two royal dukes met him, and said they had just been discussing whether he (Sheridan) was a fool or a rogue, requesting him to decide the point. Why, faith," was his answer, as he took each of his in- terrogators by the arm, I believe I am between both THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM'S STRANGE DREAM.—As for myself, I am ashamed to say that I am more low than I should dare confess to any one, by a dream which haunted me in my sleep, with a degree of precision which is really frightful. I was at Stowe, my dear and regretted Ílome All was desolate-not a soul appeared to receive me. My good dog met me and licked my hand. Accompanied by him, I traversed all the apartments—all desolate and soli- tary every room as I left it. On my ret-iin frow tlie stitf, bedroom I met my wife. She told me all my family were gone, and that she was left deolate-that even her little fa vourite dog, which had been her sole remaining companion, had died a few days ago. We went out at the north hall door together, and all was solitude and desertion. I awoke with the distress of the moment, and I slept no more that night. I do not like to confess how much effect this has had upon me. I have not the slightest faith in dreams, bu this has strongly accorded with the feelings and tone of my mind, and I cannot shake it off. Those who will ever see this journal will, I am sure, not laugh at my feelings.— Duke of Buckingham's Private Diary. [The dream occur- red in 1823, some 20 years before the catastrophe it so strangely foreshadowed ] When I was at Hang chow," writes Mr. Fortune, I visited the green tea-districts, on purpose to see the method the Chinese adopt to colour tea for exportation. I noticed the colouring matter was applied about five minutes before the tea was removed from the iron-drying-pans. A quan- tity of bluish powder was scattered over the hot leaves, the workmen turned them rapidly round witl, the hand, which quickly changed them from a dark olive to a bright bluish green. I could not help thinking that if any drinkers of coloured tea had been present their taste would have been corrected, and I think I may safely say improved, as it seems perfectly astounding that a civilized people should use dyed tee.s. No wonder that the Chinese considers the natives of the West barbarians' —Fortune's Visit to the Tea-districts of China. AN ENGLISHMAN'S DINNER.—Dinner is the great poli- public dinners I was never able to endure the solemn weariness of a public dinner—its speeches, smacking of the unctuous oil that adheres to oratorical lips, its s in^s redo- lent of brandy-and-.vater and therefore this is a phase of social life that I am not qualified to discuss. But the daily dinner of the Englishman is what makes him an English- man. A Frenchman never dines he goes to a cafe, and trifles with trifles, So lie grows fickle, capricious, feverish and is never at rest except in a revolution. But DIIlIIer (with a big D, please) is the sheet anch-.r which holds the English gentleman and the English ploughman fast to his 'ical fact, wiii '11 bi- i ii- '?- iii-a moorings. It is a great periodical fact, which brings hi;a back every day to first principles, and in which, amid all the moral difficulties of his age, he can steadily believe, Theologians may snarl over the dry bones of creeds politj. cians may wrangle over the dead bodies of constitutions b it when the Englishman comes home at six from his club or his coun'ing-house to the solid reality of dinner, he feels that he has entered once more upon the grand veracities" of life.—Fraser's Magazine. OLD MAIDS AND BACHELORS —If a. woman .}};e \)11 t strength to make up her mind to a single life, sne is enabled by nature to be far more independently happy therein than a man in the same position. A man, be he rich or poor, who returns at night to a home adorned by no woman's presence and domestic cares, is at best dreary and uncom- fortable. But a woman makes her home for herself, and surrounds herself with the atmosphere of taste and the little details of housewifely comforts. If she have no sister, she has yet inherited the blessed power of a woman to make true and tender friendships, such as not one man s heart in a hundred can even imagine and while he smiles scornfully at the idea of friendship meaning anything beyond acquaintance at a club or the intimacy of a barrack, she enjoys one of the purest of pleasures and the most unselfish of all affections. Nor does the "old main con- template a solitary ag e as the bachelor must usual.y do. It will go hard but she will find a woman ready to share it. And more !-(bu! it is a theme we may not treat of here). She thinks to die, if without having given or shared some of the highest joys of human nature, yet at least without having caused one fellow-being to regret she was born to tempt to sin and shame. We ask it in solemn sadness-Du the men who resolve on an unmarried life fixedly purpose alsn to die with as spotless a conscience }—Ibid. THE DOG OF THE BELFAST FIRE BRIGADE.—Every one who has witnessed a sudden muster, turn out and "march" of the firemen in Belfast, must ha\è observed that they are accompanied in all their movements by an humble but spirited auxiliary, which evidently enjoys the bustle, noise, and excitement incidental to a confiagratsonl This member of the force, unattached, is a dog, of no well- defined breed, which makes the engine depot his principal home, and is known by the familiar name of Jaftk," First at parade, and foremost on the scene ofiaction, he is a favourite with the whole brigade who have taught him numerous tricks, and are not without hopes that he may one day become as famous as the celebrated dog which was a constant attendant oil Mr. Braidwood's force in London and was crushcd to death a couple of years since, by the wheel of an engine. Poor" Jack," at the fire on board a vessel in Prince's Dock, on the night of Tuesday week, met with a disaster which nearly cut short his rarcer. In attempting to board the burning vessel, he fell if) t') the water, and was for some time unobserved but on hid peril being discovered, the firemen showed as much aiacrity in rescuing hun as If he had been a human comrade.— Northern Whig MODERN JERICHO AND ITS PEOPLE.—The inhabitant; of Jericho belong to the agricultural Bedouin class, and have their fixed dwellings but they are more indigent and have a worse reputation for morals than their nomadic brother-tribes. They maintain themselves by tilling the ground and by keeping cattle. Some ill-cultivated arable plots and gardens surround the miserable village, whilst many remarkably beautiful trees and luxuriant grass proved, on the other hand, the feiti,ity of tt.e soil. How much warmer the climate in the Valley of Jordan is than at Jeruslam we could see by the figtrees, which there had scarcely begun to put forth their buds, but which here were fully in leaf; and by the corn, which there was not yet in ear, whilst here it was yellow, and ready for the hardest. Root-products seem to luxuriate in the rich soil, well-watered as it is by abundant springs. Vegetation i seems here considerably nobler than man. We went hence to the top of a little green hill, close outside the village. We had not been long here before \e saw a troop of Bedou- ins come riding along, evidently with the intent of taking i a near view of us They rode towards the hill on which we were standing, but halted when Sheik Mustapha went towards them, and fell into conversation with their chief; after which they put spurs to their horses, rode rapidly up to us, and passed us down to the village, casting upon us, as they went by, lightening-like glances from their dark fiery eyes. the hue of their complexion was also v-ery dark, but many of them had beautiful, significant features and it was a perfect delight to see them riding their fleet-footed, and, as it were, dancing steeds. The rider of the Arab shows a mastership of the horse, a harmony with his being and his temper, of which not even the horse-riders of Europe can give any conception. At a sign from his rider the horse flies like a bird over hills and bushes, and whilst at full gallop will make a sudden leap, which would inevi tably throw off every rider, except he were an Arab; but the Arab himself sits upon his horse as lightly and as easily j as a bird, and seems to be one in all its movements and when he wills it, the snorting horse stands still in a moment, and gentle as a lamb. The horse is also the Arab's gieatest wealth, often his supremest love. It is quite usual to hear an Arab say that he loves his horse better than his wile and alter what I have seen of the j Arab ladies, I cannot wonder at it. A RVUAL FORTUNE-TELLER. -It was a low roofed cot I tage, of t;, leorlitiary forct class its walls were of mud. within the wooden framework. Dolly tapped at the doo and pulled the leather thon;^ which lifte 1 the wooden latcn. is she heard a ruff" (!,)me in." Wcldon Jack stood beton her The room wis but h;tlf-ligtitc I by the small quarry- paned window; the roof was low and dark a large cat la- on one side of the fir.\ which was made of sticks laid on tiic hearth.

His overhanging eyebrows threw his smar ferret-like eyes into strong shadow. His frame was square built, and he was dressed in the rough style of a country man. Weldou Junk was a shrewd fellow. Numberles- were the tales that were told of the wonderful prediction. '-hat he had male. II" tolrJ DJIly t,¡ get 3pat:d, and askEd her what she wanted wi' him." Dolly began to falter and coloured. "Oll said Jack. 1 tho'ght thee had lost some- thing, but I see the wa-i'-t to know soinetiiiii' about thy sweetheart." Dollv confessed that she did. Weldon Jack then took an okl and greasy pack of cards from a recess in the wall, and, placing them on a pair of bellow, began one of those solemn adjurations which awed the whole country side. It was an impious calling upon a divine being to enable him to speak the truth. — Life Scenes and Soe-al ^ketches. SIGNS OF THE WEATHER.—-Admiral Fitzroy, in his instructions to meteorological observers, is careful not to cut off any source of information, as he especially notes that the observations of nature are to be watched. Thu, when sea- birds fly out early and far t) seaward, fair weather may be anticipated on the contrary, when they hang about the land or fly inward, stormy weather is indicated. When animals, instead of spreading over their usual range, seek shpitered places, storms may be expected. Dew is an indi cation of fine weather; so is fog but clearness of thp atmosphere near the horizon is a sign of wet. When a mountaineer sees the hills cutting sharp azainst the sky, he wraps his plaid around him. A good hearing day is also an indication of coming wet The public will feel all the more confidence in the head of the Meteorological Depart- ment for not disdaining these phenomena noted by the weatherwise, as they rest upon exactly the same foundation as what may be termed the more scientific sigIls-narnply, experience. Now that meteorology is elevated into an applied science, we feel confident that immense progress will be made. It is a great thing tn know that there is a central department instituted purposely to collect all infor- mation bearing upon the subject, and that it has a chief like Admiral Fitzroy, whose heart is in his business, and who seems never better pleased than when he is collecting from any sotnee, however insignificant, a fact that is note- worthy-unle s it be when he is diffusing his knowledge so attained either to individuals or the public at large. The growth of this new department seems to bear the sine relation to the Shipwreck Relief Society an-1 the Lifeboat Society that preventive medicine does to remedial medicine. Indeed, as we progress in kncwledge, we are begininng to find out that prevention is better than cure, and, what is more to the purpose, we are becoming enabled to put this nt Ioz. in I'r,lcticp- Once a Week. PRUSSIAN ROYALTY A CENTURY AGO.-On Jan. 31, 1710, he (King Frederick William, the father of the great Frederick) said, I am not grieved that I am about to die, for a miln who is afraid of death is a coward but what I do feel sorry for i% that I should have such a scoundrel as my son tor successor." Another of his remarks was, I know what the wany bows mean I shall some day chop off a few heads like turnips, and then it will be seen whether I or the boy am burgomaster of Berlin" One eveninz, when the Prince entered his father's apartments, and all the per- sons present rose, the King exclaimed savagely, Sit ye down;" and when the Prince did not inimediatelv tike his seat, he shouted, Seat yourself, in the fiend's name, or go to On anotl er occasion he declared that he had only one thing to reproach himself with, nauiely, that be had not executed the Prince ten years back.— Weber's Gleanings of Four Centuries. SEBASTOFOL AS IT IS W e came to the scene of the Balael-Ava chirge, and then through the village of Kamora, down upon Bilaclava. Was that the harbour in which all the ships were That pond ? We lunched under a rock overlooking the harbour; one or two fishing boats were crossing its still water. We w ilked down into that quiet village, and ou to the now deserted quay and pier. All the scenes of the war winter came before one—the noise, the confusion, the accumulations in that small place, where now there was not a sign of intercourse with the outer world. The hospitil building still remains, and on the steep slope above are the two graves of the Sisters of Mercy" ho died in that hospital while nursing the soldiers. In grateful memory for their services the regiment have pot up two stone tombs, and enclosed them within rail.. Many are the solitary tombs!ones seen in and about Balaclava, It was a steep scramble up to the Sisters' Graves, and it was a s'ill steeper one up to the Genoese Fort. But, unless a traveller ascends three-quarters of the way to the castle, he will not see the beautiful white marble cross erected by Florence Nightingale, we were told, to commemorate the occupation of the British army in the Crimea. We could only see it at a distance; as, though we had ascended a considerable height, to have reached it would have involved another hour's climbing. We returned in the evening, following the line of the Camp Railroad (those rails are now in use between Tchernavoda and Kustendjie), and then galloping acr«<fs the plain at a frightful pace. There was mueh to be eeen ill aId about the town —more than we had leisure for; we i ouid only spare time for rambles among the ruined streets at odd moments. What out- guns spared the Ru-sians themselves destroyed, either by fire or gunpowder, and yet the ruins now have no appearance of tire; it i, more as if an earthquake had s\¡¡ken d,),.vii the t :wrl Mo-.t of the restored houses, of these that escaped, are in the south-east quarter of the town. I There were two shops we we t t) which s?cm.-d to supply ever) thiuit for everyday life. All luxuries come from O-irssi. The chief buildings «t-re in the most expos.,d part, and are all destroyed. Prince Menschikutf's tine palace, "it Ua terra<«-» »»<! at.*iirriise*>: the Lib, ry, which mU'it h'1\ been a very handsome building, crowning the crest of the hill on which the town is built; the church, of which only the colonnade remains the governor's house; the the itre—these are only a few of the many handsome stone houses entirely in ruins. One church 111 the main street has been rebuilt. Down by the watei's edge, at the head of the south b-irbour, lie piles of rusty c .nnon- I) lis, arid bullets of all sizes, broken shel;s, and old iivn in every shape. There was another large pile of the b ines of horses and cattle. Ot the famous dockyards not a ves1 ige remains; nor ,f Fort Nicholas or Fort Paul. We did not cross to Fort Constantine, but it seemed untouched. It was a matter of dnilv surprise to us that we were so civilly treated as we walked about Sebastopol. The few in- habitants there were appeared not to notice us. We were never intet fered with while sketching, as is so often the case in foreign countries and tile only liring being who seemed to resent our. presence were the innumerabl e do-a who prowled about the deserted town. One object still remained to be accomplished, and that was ihe Malakoff, and on this, our 1 -i st day, we drove up to i'. Its labyrinth of earthwol k is very striking when coti,.ra z;Lcd with the single earth-ridge of the Redan and the commanding position of the elevation told its own story why such labour bad been bes'o.\ed upon its defences. Two of the tiers of loopholes remain in the ruined tower. In the cellar, or the magazine below, a lame horse was sheltering itself from the glare of the midday sun. For the last time we looked dU'lJ upon the ruined town. and round upon all the scenes connected with it.—Jfacmil- lan's Magazine,

We regret very much to find that the horrible shooting mania atpears to have been earned Tacroso the Atlantic in some of the Regiments sent out to >^<orth America. Two men (If the 2nd battalian of the 16til Regiment h ive been tried and found guilty at Halifax of threats to shout their superiors; and one of the 63rd was a'po to be tried at the same station. Wh itevcr was the punishment given to the delinquents, we at lea,t trust to hear tkat it was promptly ad ministered. I We undeistand that Captain Thomas H. Mason, Lite d her Majesty's ship Cajsar, has been reprimanded by the Lords of the Admiralty in reference to some p .inr iu con- nexion with the bite court-martial on Mr. Caldwell, the surgeon. It appears that their lordships seem to think that tiie sr and,-ti which has fallen upon the Caesar aiter a lengthened and otherwise ii irmonious term of commission, might have been avoided had Captain M isou displayed that amount of discretion for which he has always hitherto had credit. The Service c?!np:mies of the .slst (King's Own) Light Infantry, in India, being below their proper complement, volunteering for that regiment has been opened among the regiments at the home stations, chiefly those serving in Irolaud, Intelligence was yettrday received at Chatham that 1^0 volunteers will arrive in the course of a few day, and joii, I fie depot of the 51st attached t) the third depot battalion, in iiadine^sto be despatched to India with the reinforcements for .va.deu during the ensuing season. Euh of the volunteers will receive the um of one guinea on joining the depot of the regiment at Chatham. The -5lst Itegiment embaiked for India in 18.j7. Sir Wm. Armstrong's 300-pounder experimental gun, recently rev ived at Woolwich, was on Friday embirked by inc. ns of a i0-ton craue, in one of the contract to- g,thi i- viith its carriage, platform, Arc., weighing upwards ,,f 102 tons ft was conveyed to Shoeburyncss for proof. One bundled aud ten charges, consisting (,f a 10-inch round shot, wad, and 381b of powder eacii, were like^ise forwarded to nrryout a severe te,t of the gun, which, if found suffi- cient, mil be returned to Woolwich and rifled. It will then undergo a second proof. On Friday a district court-martial, which assembled at Chatham on the previous d;ty, under the presidency of Major U. 1, Deshou, attached to the staff of the. 2nd depot b.Htta..on, for the t1 il of Private George Bowman, of the Chatham division of Royal Marines, on a chuge. f threatening to kill a non-commissioned officer of the divi- sion, terminated its sitting. The prisoner was handed over to Sergeant Ore en, the lion-eominisaioned officer in charge of the guard, to be placid in confinement in the guard-ruom for a bleach of military discipline. During the time that he was being removed to the lukup, RIal after be had been placed in confinement, the pri-ouer made use of the most violent language towards the sergeant, and more than once expressed bis determination to >hoot him on the first oppor- tunity At the termination of the evidence for the prosecu- tion the Court found the prisoner guilty, but the sentence will in t be promulgated until it hoos been confiiuied by the General commauUmg iilc dutrict.l/ my *and Zavy Gazette.

Suss ex Express. IIOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.—ACCIDENTS. III such inju- ries much evil often results from ignorance,and accidents of little moment become serious and difficult of management. This incomparable Ointment p!aces the attentive nurse on a par with the most skilful surgeon. It its application she can never do amiss it will always soothe, cool, and heal. In burns and scalds, sprains, bruises, cuts or wounds, swellings of the glands of the neck, warta, corns and tumors, every nurse using Holloway's Ointment cures with rapidity and ease. Freed from responsibility, she joyfully watches the recover}7, and great IS her delight to spe her little charge rescued from torture, fever and great danger by her tffee- tionate zeal in applying this certain remedy immediately after the accident occurred. ANOTHER ARISTOCRATIC ROMANCE.— We have seen in the great lunacy case how the fair bride was once upon a time the daughter of a village blacksmith and a nursemaid and shall, ere long, hear of a more amusing case before Sir Cr(!s,ell Cresswell-how a noble Lord took a fancy in a railway carriage to a pretty traveller. She was the daughter of a miller, and going to be a scullery servant in London. He prevailed upon her not to go, took lodgings --all very respectfuily-and asked her to reside there three weeks, at the end of which time she was, without knowing who he was, to give a yea or nay to his proposal of marriage. She was well advised, and when the noble Lord called for the reply, she made a low curtsey, and said," Yes, sir, if you please." and she became my Lady. A better end should have followed this romance in real life.-Court Journal NAVAL RESERVr,Soine statistics of the Royal Naval Reserve have just been published, by which it appears that on the 31st ult. 10,228 claims had been received and 9076 volunteers actually enrolled. The numbers entered at each port are somewhat curious, inasmuch as they are little influenced by the actual population and the probability is that much has depended on the ability and energy of the resident naval authorities. At Bristol, for instance, there are 494 volunteers, while at Liverpool the numbers are only 424. Btidgwater gives no less than 127; Cardiff only 5. Swansea has 62; Newport only 3. Newcastle has 1439, and Hull only 70. Sunderland has 959, and Hartlepool 474; while Glasgow has but 135, and Gloucester 1 At Bristol, the rate of increase during the last three months has been upwards of 70 per month, so that it may be hoped the reserve is yet comparatively undeveloped. A WOLVERHAMPTON BARRISTER DISBARRED.—From time to time, Mr. C!aydon, barrister, who has chambers in Wolverhampton, has been charged by the attorneys practis- ing in that town with having violated professional etiquette and trespassed upon their prerogatives by undertaking the conduct of cases without the intervention of an attorney. In the hearing of an insolvency petition, last July, in the Wolverhampton County Court, Mr. Claydon openly avowed his intention of continuing this course of practice, unless it could be shown that he was acting wrongly and his Honour (A. M. Skinner, Esq Q C.) intimated that as a bencher of Lincoln's Inn, he could not but take cognisance of this challenge. Nlr. Skinner, therefore, communicated a statement of the citcumstance to the benchers of the Inn. An inquiry has now been instituted: and after hearing evidence, the benchers resolved to disbar Mr. Claydon. It is understood that the decision of the benchers will be appealed against by Mr. Claydon. PARLIAMENTARY INSTRUCTION.—Useful reference may be made to portions of the evidence of eminent and expe- rienced professional witnesses set forth in the Report of tue Select Committee of the House of Commons on the Adulteration Question Dr. Normandy said Adulterations and sophistications cannot be stopped, so long as competi- tion for cheap, and not for good articles is encouraged." The examination of Dr. Letheby (who hds recently been elected to the honourable post of Chief Analyst to the City ef London under the new Act of Parliament) elicited the important information that, not only in L ndon, but in Paris, and all the great capitals of Europe, it is gene- rally recognised that no article is adulterated to a greater extent than Cod Liver Oil, and a prevailing opinion exists, that Dr. de J ngh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil produces a very different effect from all other kinds." In expla- nation of this circumstance, Dr. Letheby remarked, One impediment to the administration of the ordinary Cod Liver Oil is, that after a short time the patient becomes dis- gusted, and cannot endure it; whereas Dr. de Jongh's Oil may be taken for a lengthened period without any such tendency, certain acrid principles which disagree with the stomach not being present in Dr. do Jongh's Oil, pro- bitbly from the care used in the preparation" From other passages in this report, strong recommendations of the purityandexcellenceofDr.de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil m;, v be collected. WATElt CONVERTED INTO FIRE.—There have been speculations as to the possibility of such a transformation for a long time. B it in the last number of the Cosmos—a scientific journal, published weekly in Paris. of a high character-the Abbe Moigno, the editor, informs his readers that bo his Jflpn fhi* :it th,? wor k -s h ort )f the d i scoverer. M ??tudde"ij'?ur?'tt'r? w?tn'e'Rueib'at?et?'e????St ?e action and the effects truly admirable. It has long been known that when oxygen and hydrogen gases unite itnd form stewl1, as they do by their union, a most intense heat is produced. In this cise, in fact, we have the oxyhydivgen blowpipe, which, though very small, is yet a furnace of the most intense heat. It is now found that bv exposing steam in its turn to a very high temperature, the atom of oxygen and the atom of hydrogen—of both of which in union with each other, an atom of st?am consists—tend to separate again, ani in fa t may be actually Separated merely by presenting to the very hot steam some substance with which one of the elements of the steam, either the oxygen or the hydrogen, tends io unite rather than the other. But no sooner are the oxygen and the hydrogen separate than they tend to rush together again, producing in the act of union, the heat of the oxyhydrogen blowpipe. In order to obtain this wonderful power of heat all that is necessary, as now appears, is to raise steam to a very high temperature, and then to let it loose when very hot upon some body which tends to unite with one of its elements, its oxygen for instance, as is the ca-e with common fuel. The hot steam immediately s. ts the fuel on fire. The heat that is produced is most intense, and there is reason to hope that the combustion may be so regulated that all the oxygen of the steam may reunite again with all the hydrogen of the steam —so that the whole result of the combustion shall be merely that the fuel is transformed by the intense heat it to aeriform matter. And thus a furnace may be so ar- ranged that while its heat is employed as usual in generating stf alii in a boiler for a steam-engine, all the smoke shall be gas, fit for illuminating purposes and ready for being trans- ferred into the ga-ometer. M. Moigno mentions that in the apparatus which he saw, a jet of hot steam from a tube, which was only one millimetre (about 1-25th of an inch) in diameter,,when made to play upon a mass of charcoal there were added a few handfuls of the Boghead mineral, which yielding bicarbonct of hydrogen instead of simple hydrogen, the light was dazzling, and the flame rose so as sometimes to reach the roof of the workshop. The only point that is staggering is the immense hrat which requires to be i'n- parted to the superheated steam. Thus, for the full effect 1000 deg. cent, is named,—that is, 1832 deg. Fahr.-that is, a heat at which silver and almost copper melts. And this is said to be produced by having the steam-heater immersed in a bath of melted tin. As there is no need of great pressure, however, and no risk of explosion (for no water at all is admitted to the steam-heater), it may be found possible both to command and to control steam at this temperatute with economy upon the whole. And if so, there can be no doubt that not only in the laboratory of the chemist, but in the reducing of metals and in the arts generally, on a great scale, the application of superheated steam will form an epoch. ATTEMPTED WIEE MURDER AT ROCHDALE —At Roch- dale, on Saturday, a woman, named Allice lssott, was shot in the neck by her husband, Joseph Issott. In Lord-street a house is tenanted by a broker named Odgen, who lets the upper part as lodgings. In one of the upper rooms Issott and his wife lived and in another room, on the same floor, lodged Thomas Payn, maehineman to Messrs. Wrig- ley and Son, printers. Soon after six o'clock, Payn, his wife, and a friend were taking tea, when a report was heard, which the friend declared to be that of a pistol. The quar- rels that had been heard in Issott's room led Payn at once to conjecture I hat something serious had occnrred there, and, rushing immediately into the room, he found Issott holding a pistol in his hand. Only waiting to notice that Mrs. Is- sott was wounded in the neck, Payn seized lssott, took from him the pistol, and raised an alarm. In the subsequent confusion Issott left the house but Police-constable Head, who was called in, ha i scarcely started in pursuit of him before he entered the police station and gave himself up. Meantime the wounded woman was attended by Mr. Green, the dispensnry surgeon, who afterwards surrendered the case to Dr Cheetlum, surgeon to the borough police force. They probed the wound, bu' were unable to find any hard substance and until they ascertained what has entered the neck, they cannot pronounce on the case. The prisoner, who is 3'j years ef age, at one time was in the aimy, once deserted, and was discharged from theotb Fusileers in Jan- uary, 1860. Since that time fw has kept t s',all in ncobdale market, but has latterly assisted at a kind of mock auction- room. When emltying his pockets at the police-office, he made some .allusion to the clotil, s at his lodgings, adding, may has well be hung in these as any other." -.illa it cheater Gucirelian.
