Was of very obscure origin. Ney, Prince de Moskowa, rose from a similar beginning. Oudinot, uc de Reggio, was the son of a tradesman at Bar; Perignon, of a citizen of Grenada ; Soult, Duc de Dalmatie, of a peasant of Saint Armand ; S uc h et, D ue d'Albugera' of a manufacturer of Lyons; Victor P err i n , D uc de Be llvue, was a shopboy. All these distinguished officers carried the soldiers' giberne, and in it, we m i g ht ad d t h e theoretical b aton de marechal which has led so many soldiers on to honour and glory. Many interesting incidents are recorded, and the author's evident f am ili ar it y w i t h F renc h military life gives ease and vitality to his sketches. If he had only let English deficiencies alone and re stricted - himself to the description of French merits his works would have been still more attrac tive 'without being less valuable. As it is, how ever, the military reader will study with interest the particulars of the French system, while the total absence of any professional language or technical details will enable the general public to find in its pages a considerable amount of entertain- ment.

ROBBERY AT THE PANTHEON Music HALL.—George Bedford, a stoker, was charged with stealing the hat, coat, scarf, gloves, &c., of Mr. Thomas Greenon, upholsterer, of Little Welbeck -street. The complainant said he was at the Pantheon Music Hall (the Nag's Head), Oxford-street, yesterday, and put some of his clothing on the counter, The prisoner took them up and walked to the back part of the premises, but thinking it was only a joke, he did not interfere till finding the prisoner did not come back he spoke to the proprietor, and the prisoner was afterwards found and given into cus tody. A man named Major having proved buying the coat of the prisoner, and Harris, 184 C, that he found the prose cutor's pocket-book with some Pantheon Hall tickets on the prisoner. The waiter stepped forward and wanted to know why he wasn't to be heard, as he was really the only " important" witness. After being told that it was not necessary, but that if it was any gratification to his feelings he should be heard, he said the " gentleman" (the prisoner) put on the other gentleman's clothes, and asked me if he did not look like " a real gentleman," and that the prosecutor was pleased with the change in his appearance that he told the " gentleman" (the prisoner) that he might keep the things, called him his friend, and said that ho would take him out and have a jollification with him, Mr. Tyrwhitt having told the waiter that he hoped he felt better after delivering himself of the important state men', committed the prisoner for a month with hard labour. THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A MAN ON HIS STEPMOTHER. —Jo. eph King, a self-willed, obstinate, and morose youth, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with commit ting a violent and unprovoked assault on Jane King, his stepmother, of No. 5, Love lane, Shadwell. The complainant's face was much disfigured with the blows she received from her stepson, one eye was nearly closedf and tlfere were bruises on her arms. She stated that ever since she had been married to the prisoner's father the son had been in the practice of ill-using her occasionally and abusing her almost daily. He lodged in the same house, and seemed inclined to do all that laid in his power to make her and his father un happy. On Sunday night last, in her absence, the prisoner abused his father in a most gross manner. She spoke to the prisoner about it last night, and said he ought to know better, on which he said nothing, but got up from his seat and struck her repeatedly with his clenched fists on the head, face, and body. She bled profusely from the nose and mouth. The marks on her person were caused by his violence, and she was suffering great pain. Mr. Woolrych (to the prisoner) : How came you to beat this woman in snch a brutal manner ? The prisoner launched into a torrent of vituperation against his stepmother, and said she hit him twice with a poker on the head. The complainant : I did not, sir. He has threatened me and his father, and has uses the most infamous language towards us both. The only offence I have committed is marrying his father. I have done him no harm. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was a cowardly young ruffian to beat his father's wifo in the way he had done, and that no one could look at the unfortunate woman without being indignant and shocked at the treatmant she had met with from the savage scoundrel in the dock. The woman was entitled to respect and good treatment front her step son, not abuse and ill-usage. He sentenced the pri soner to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two months, and kept to hard labour, for an aggravated assault. The prisoner made use of a fearful oath as he was leaving the dock, and added, " I'll give her enough for three months when I come out."

The London and North 'Western Railway, and Chester and Holyhead Railway (Capital) Bill was read a second time. PETITION. Lord A. PAGET presented a petition from the Mayor and Corporation of Leicester, praying for the abolition of the duty on Fire Insurance. WHIPPING BILL, Mr. HADFIELD moved that this bill be read a second Sir G. GREY said he thought the hon. gentleman had very properly introduced the measure, as while there was no regulations in respect of temporal punishments inflicted in convict establishments, there was none in respect of other prisons, but as the prison inspectors are about to bring up a report on the subject he thought the matter might be left in the hands of the Secretary of State. As to the power put into the hands of visiting justices for in flicting flogging on juvenile offenders, there was no doubt but the law was in a most unsatisfactory state ; but he thought that were the hon. gentleman to withdraw this measure and leave the question to be considered by the Government in connection with the reports of the prison inspectors on the subject, when no doubt a bill would be introduced re gulating corporal punishment inflicted on juvenile offenders, he thought his object would be fully attained. Mr. HADFIE4D said he had introduced the clause in respect of juvenile offenders because of the severity of the punishment inflicted on juvenile offenders in some counties when there was no such punishment inflicted in others. He should however consent to the proposition of the right hon. bart. After a few words from Mr. S. Estcourt, Mr. A. Kin naird, and Sir F. Smith, who said that, having seen while in the army that flogging was attended with no relaiming tendency, he had been always opposed to it, and he was therefore glad to hear from the Secretary of State that he intended taking the matter up in respect of juvenile offen ders, the order of the day for the second reading of the bill was discharged and the bill withdrawn. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. TITE moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. CRAWFORD did not wish to object to the second reading of the bill, but he would suggest the proprie`y of affording proper time for consideration before the bill was committed. The bill affected his constituents lo a consi derable extent, and it was right that they should have time for considering its various clauses. After some discussion thebill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 19th March. CONVEYANCE OF VOTERS BILL. On the order of the day being read for the second reading of this bill, Mr, CARR moved, as an amendment, that tho bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. Paull, Sir It. Clifton, and Mr. Vance opposed the measure. Mr. LAWSON supported the measure. He thought objections IN hich had been urged respecting large boroughs could be got over by exempting them from the operations of the act. Lord JOHN MANNERS said he had of late years heard many modes propounded of extending the franchise, but the system proposed by this mes-Jure was certainly the most novel he had as yet heard. It simply was that a man's vote should depend upon a test of pedestrianism, to which the hon. member was to subject the voter. To his mind it would, however, have the effect of curtailing the franchise as regarded the poorer classes, for while the rich man could travel in his carriage, or some other conveyance, to the polling place, the poor man, who could command no such conveyance, must stay at home, and consequently lose his vote. Mr. TAYLOR supported the measure. After a few words from Mr. COLLIER and Mr. KNIGRT LEY, Sir G. GREY supported the second reading of the bill. The subject had been fully considered by the committee to whom the subject had been referred, and that committee, while they recommended the continuance of the pre sent law as regarded counties, held that the travel ling expenses of borough electors ought to be dia l' allowed. That committee had evidence before them of the immense expense created during elections in the metropolitan and other boroughs, even when the electors had not any great distance to travel, and seeing the burden to be so great on the candidate they came to the conclusion of recommending their being disallowed. As to the case l i of burgesses living at a great distance from the burgh in which they had the right to exercise the franchise, that description of franchise was fast dying out, and he did not think it would be reasonable to retard the passing of such a measure as this out of respect to that class of voters. He had been told this bill would be very much opposed to the liberal cause, inasmuch as it wou'd enable the rich to come to the poll and exercise the fran chise, while the poor man who had no conveyance could not do so ; but he did not think there was any cause for fear on that head, as voters earnest in the cause of a par ticular candidate would not be deterred by any such con sideration from coming up to the poll and voting in his be. half. Mr. HUNT considered that until they provided some other mode of conveying voters to the poll who are not in a position to give their votes without such conveyance, they were not justified in taking away the mode of con veyance which they had at present. If they admitted the principle that if in counties people could not come to the poll without some mode of conveyance in consequence of the distance, and that therefore such con. veyances ought to be allowed, they ought to admit the same principle in the case of boroughs. If they exempted some particular boroughs from the operations of the act, he was afraid they would find the schedule of exemption to ex tend to a considerable length, and he should therefore oppose the measure. Mr. AYRTON justified the clause he had got inserted into the act regulating the system of voting, as being in tended to prevent the exercise of a legitimate right being converted into a means of bribery and corruption. The rule he laid down was, that they should not legalise the payment of money to an elector, which might be appro priated to corrupt purposes ; but it was never meant to prevent any man taking an elector to the pelt by any conveyance which he chose. There were cases where money was given to electors to pay for their conveyance, who, instead of using it for that purpose, walked to the poll and appropriated the money for other purposes. That was what he meant to contend against, and not against electors being conveyed to the poll where such was necessary. A man might only have his dinner hour to go to the poll, and his master might refuse to take him back to his employment should he not return at the proper time, and consequently the conduct of electors might by such means be put into the hands of the wealthy few, to the great detriment of the working man. Ile should ' not object to go into committee on t h e reee aure, but be thought the measure as it stood would fail in its intended object. (Cheers.) After a few a words from Mr. CLAY in support of the measure, the house divided, when there appeared— For the second reading l3O Against it 160 Majority against ............. e —3O The bill was consequently lost. TRADE MARKS BILL. Mr. ROEBUCK, in moving the second reading of this bill, stated that he did not do so for the purpose of raising any discussion on the measure, but simply that it might be referred to a select committee, and be considered along with the general bill on the same subject. After a few words from Mr. CRAWFORD and Mr. MOFFAT, the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be referred to a select committee. QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES ABOLITION BILL. Mr. HADFIELD moved the third reading of this bill, to which Mr. NEWDEGATE having moved a negative, the house divided, when there appeared— For the third reading Against it Majority for the third reading.. The announcement was received with loud cheers, and the bill was read a third time and passed. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT. Mr. LOCKE moved an address fora return of the num ber of ratepayers in each of the 23 parishes in Schedule A of the Metropolis Local Management Act; adding, in a separate column, the numbers of vestrymen who voted for the present members of each parish as their repre sentative or representatives of the Metropolitan Board of Works, distinguishing (if any) those who were elected by ballot; and similar returns from the parishes united into districts under schedule B of the said Act.—Agreed to. The house then adjourned at 20 minutes past four. FOREIGN RAILWAYS Algerian .• • . Antwerp &Rotterdam. Ardennes .... ....... Bah.&S.Fran..Lim.7 p.c. Belgian East. Junction Beziers to Graissessac..

SEWER VENTILATION: An experiment, costing about £l,OOO, has re, cently been made by Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, and Mr. William Haywood, the engineer to the Commissioners of Sewers, with the view of testing the effects of the application of charcoal to the ventilating openings of the sewers in the City of London. It proceeded on the theory, maintained by eminent French and English cby mists, that charcoal has the power of absorbing and oxydizing the miasma of organic decomposition when they are passed over it, with atmospheric air. A district was selected for the experiment in the eastern part of the city, comprising a space of about 59 acres, with about 1,700 houses, and 14,000 inha bitants, bounded by Bishopsgate-street on the west, from Cornhill to Widegate-street ; by Middlesex street and Somerset-street on the east. to the city boundary; and by the Minories and Leaden hall street to Corn hill on the South; the whole of these main thoroughfares being included in the arca. This district was selected because the sewers there have but a slight fall, and the currents in them are sluggish; because the area is densely populated, and has more than an average proportion of resi dent poor; and because the thoroughfares are mostly narrow, and are therefore disagreeably affected by the sewer gases which issue from the ventilators. The total length of sewers in the district is 25,587 feet, of which 2,018 feet are pipes, and the remainder are constructed of brick, varying from 3ft. high by 2ft. wide to sft. high by 3ft. wide, internal dimen sions. Upon this length of sewer there are 104 air shafts, 265 gullies, 15 flashing shafts, 4 tanks, and 26 side entrances. The whole of the sewers were isolated as far as possible, so as to prevent air cur rents passing through thorn either from or to the adjacent sewers. Theywere, therefo re , d ependent upon their own conditions for ventilation. Two mechanical arrangements were adopted for apply ing the charcoal—one being a large sieve with compartments, the other a series of trays for holding the charcoal. Wood charcoal was used, broken nto pieces the size of a filbert. The experi ment was commenced on the 14th of July, 1860, and has been continued more than eighteen months. During the summer and autumn of 1860 the temperature of the air was low and the rainfall great. As these had an influence in checking putrefaction and in scouring the sewers, Messrs. Letheby and Haywood were unable in that year to form an opinion of the efficacy of the filters; but in 1861, when the conditions of the atmosphere were more favourable for observation, they were able to gather sufficient facts for a report. They state they have satisfactorily proved the com plete deodorising power of the charcoal. Not only have there been no complaints from the public of stenches from the ventilating gratings, but they have proved by actual observation that the odour of the sewer gases is not perceptible when they have traversed the charcoal. Charcoal from the venti lators has been submitted to chemical exami nation after having been in action from nine to twenty months, yielding a variety of compounds of an exceedingly offensive odour. They state that if the ventilators could be so arranged as to keep the charcoal dry, it would not require renewal more frequently than once a year, but at present many of them have to be ehanged about once a month. They suggest that charcoal might be enclosed in the lower compart ments of the lamp posts, or the ventilators placed against the sides of the houses. They next advert to the effect of the application of charcoal upon the general ventilation of the sewers themselves--a point of the highest importance. It is essential, they say, while lessening the escape of effluvium into the streets, that the dilution of the gases gene rated in the sewers should not be so lessened by the diminished supply of air as to render the atmos phere of the sewers dangerous to the men who work in them, and that the stench should not find its way more freely or in a more concentrated state into the interior of houses by the house drains and other wise than it already does. The inferences deduced from experiments on those points are that the currents of air in the sewers were somewhat inter fered with, and that the ventilation of the sewers other cases, but the differ was not so perfect as in ences in repict of temperature were extremely slight. On the other hand, there appeared to have been no appreciab'e effect on the condition of the air within the sewers, an far as the experience and observations of workmen have gone. The chymical condition of the internal atmosphere of the sewers, as proved by analyses, shows a pro- portion of 79.96 per cent. of nitrogen, 19.51 of oxygen, and 0.53 of carbonic acid, with traces of ammonia, marsh gas, and sulphuretted hydro gen. They say there is, therefore, abundance of oxygen to maintain the functions of life, The cost ,of fitting up the 104 ventilating ,shafts was nearly £919, or at the rate of about £8 16s. Bd. per ventilator; but, as an experiment is necessarily more costly than an established systemr a much less sam maybe taken as a fair average of the probable expense of extending the process to the whole city. From the experiments in question the general conclusions of Dr. Letheby and Mr. Haywood are, that dry charcoal in the presence of atmospheric air is a powerful means of destroying the mephitic gases and vapours of sewers and. house-drains; that the charcoal filters may be used. with efficacy in the course of the air channels front the drains and closets of houses, as well as in the ventilation of the public sewers ; that in applying the charcoal contrivances should be used which offer the least resistance to the free passage of the air ; and that the situation of the filters is best when the charcoal is protected from wet and is easily accessible. r egret to hear of the well known phil Cambridge-heath , Hac ney, DEATH OF T o rl f anthro- E th it e k E de V a . th D , R y ' es A terd ND ay ß , EW at It hi E s E r D es . rde W nce e , ' e di s senting divine, the Rev.

M. Deville's method consists in forming two solutions, one of silicate of potash, and the other of aluminate of soda, in such proportions, that the quan tities of oxygen contained in the silica and alumina of these two salts may be to each other in the ratio of two to one. The solutions, separately introduced into a strong glass tube, became solid at the common temperature, while the tube, hermitically closed with the blow-pipe, is being shaken in order to effect the mixture. On being heated to 338 deg. Fahr., the substance is formed into a limpid liquor, which by mere decantation yields hexagonal crystals, similar to those of levyne, and having the same chemical composi tion. --M.
