" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures o the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and fiiture mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

We know that Englaiid eipresSed the strongest dissent from the'proposed Italian Revolution, and that the Freneh-people and Mini.: stry, as one man, protestedagainst the, idea of war. ; 4 Knowing all these things, we can well conceive' that the Emperor, by the exercise of far _ dence and foresight than he is reputed to possess, has been led to abandon his warlike projects; but • we protest against the assertion that these projects never existed because they have been abandoned, or that our apprehensions were chimerical becauie they are unrealised. We .believe that France will be just as glad as we are to receive this intimation of peace, and that her pleasure would be increased were the pleasing intimation conveyed to her unaccom panied by arguments and comments, which lead us not unreasonably to doubt its sincerity. . We could believe without difficulty that the re turning good sense of the Emperor has made hini abandon his idea of war, but why weaken that con viction by in s i s ti ng at the same time that he never had the intention ? If .we are to receive the first of these propositions as equally probable with the second, we can repose no faith in either, and it is only by remembering the kind of rhetoric which passes current in the official organs of the French Government, and the habits of intrepid assertion and the utter dispensation from proof engendered by the knowledge that whatever is written cannot be answered, that we can induce ourselves to reject the assertion that peace,wa.s, never intended t o be violated, While we accept the'promise that for the • future,, at least, it will be observed.—Times.

The particulars of the case have appeared in The Sun. The outrage was committed during a fight. All the evidence having been heard, Mr. Elliott said the fighting was fair enough up to a certain point, and then a savage assault was committed by Coyle.. He fined the prisoner £5, or, in default, two months' imprisonment. SOUTHWARK. Edward Harris, a coster monger, was charged with throwing a rope over the head of Emma Beckett, nearly strangling her, and robbing her of a £5 Bank of England note. The prosecutrix, a girl about. 17 years of age, said she had been married to a " navvy" six months, and on Tuesday afternoon she was stopped by - a gentleman near Newington -causeway, who wanted her to accompany him to an improper place. She told hiin she was a married woman, and refused to have anything to do with him. He, however, followed her, gave her a £5 note, and left her. She afterwards went into a publichouse close by and treated a friend and the prisoner with a quartern of gin. While standing there the prisoner threw a rope over her head and pulled her out of the house, nearly strangling her, and in the scuffle he stole the £5 note from her. The police came up after she had released herself, and she gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Burcham—This is a very extraordinary and improbable story. I cannot believe that any man would be so foolish as to give a girl a £5 note for nothing. Prisoner—l went into the publichouse, but I never touched her or saw a £5 note. Mr,. Burcham—Was the landlord or any of his servants there at the time ? Prosecutrix—The landlady was there, but I don't think she saw the £5 note, as I had not been in the house a minute before I was pulled out with the rope, 282 NT said he was on duty in Newington-cause way on Tuesday afternoon, when he saw a mob at the door of the publichouse. On arriving there he perceived the prosecutrix having hold of the prisoner, whom she charged with robbing her of a £5 note. He took him into custody and searched him, but only two penny pieces were found upon him. The case was adjourned for a short time that inquiries might be made. On the prisoner being again brought up, The constable said that the landlady was in the bar all the afternoon, and there was no disturbance in her house. There was a row outside, but she never saw any woman with a £5 note. Mr. Burcham—Where is the prosecutrix? Sergeant Gardner—She is not in attendance, sir. I really don't think she had a£s note. If she had it's more likely that she stole it from the gentle man, as she was under the influence of liquor and was with suspicious characters. Mr. Burcham—The prisoner is discharged. LAMBETH.—Mary Ann Adams, housemaid in the service of a gentleman residing at Dulwich, who has been in custody for the last week, on the charge of concealing the birth of her illegitimate offspring, cutting up its body into small pied* and ' flinging them into two waterclosets on- her master's premises, was re-examined, and again, remanded. . HAMMERSMITH.--Th e two young women, Mary Ann O'Connor and Clara Willby, who were ' charged l as t wee k w i th being concerned in stealing a cashbox containing about £l5O in bank-notes, gold, and silver, and a number of - valuable docu ments belongin g to Mrs. Susan Maddox, the land lady of the King and Queen pu bli c -house, High street, Kensingt on , were brought up for further examination. After some additional evidence, Mr. Dayman discharged Willby, and remanded the other prisoner for a week. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

MEETING OF IRISH MEMBERS. Yesterday 'afternoon a meeting of members of Parliament entertaining Liberal opinions connected with the representation of Ireland was held in No. 12 Committee-room of the House of Commons. The meeting was convened by circular, the object being "to take into consideration the question of reform in the representation of the people of Ireland." It will be seen, however, from the resolutions sub mitted that a strong opinion was expressed hostile to the Government measure prepared for England and Wales. The chair was taken by Mr. A. M'Carthy, Cork county, and among the hon. gentlemen present were the following :—The Right Hon. J. D. Fitz gerald, ex-Attorney-General for Ireland, member for Ennis • Mr.. F. B. Beamish, Cork city ; Mr. M'Evoy, Meath ; Mr. Devereux, Wexford county ; Sir " Denham Norreys, Bart., Mallow ; Captain Green, Kilkenny county ; Mr. John Blake, Water ford county ; Mr. Hatchell, Wetford county ; ; Sir Richard Levinge, Bart., Westmeath; Mr. De Vere, Limerick county ; Mr. Chichester Fortescue, Louth ; Dr. Brady, Leitrim ; Mr. Calcutt, Limerick county ; "Colonel French, Roscommon ; Mr:Sergeant Deasy, Q.C., Cork county. The following resolutions were ultimately put seriatim to the meeting, and unanimously adopted— " 1. That the refusal of the Government to give any in formation as to their intentions with respect to the amend ment of the representation of the people of Ireland is unpre cedented, and deserving of strong condemnation. " 2. That as we consider the main principles upon which the English Reform Bill is founded are most objectionable we feel bound to State that no measure of Parliamentary reform for Ireland can be deemed satisfactory which is not based upon a comprehensive extension of the franchise, ac companied by the protection of the ballot. "3. That we also consider that in any measure for the amendment of the representation of the people the right of Ireland, to an additional number of members should be con sidered:" The, meeting separated with a vote of thanks to he hon. member for Cork for presiding. FINSBURY. Last evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of this borough was held at the Music Ilan, Store street, Bedford -square, for the purpose of expressing the opinion of the borough upon the Government ReforM Bill. The chair was 'taken by Mr. William Shaen. • The. following resolution was submitted to the meeting :—" That the manifest and acknowledged evils of the present electoral system are, the,limited extent of the franchise, the unequal distribution of members to constituencies, and the "absence of pro tection for the voter. That the Government mea sure not only fails to remedy any one of those evils, but renders the present vicious system complicated and anomalous. That this meeting, therefore, considers the measure unworthy of acceptance by the people, and respectfully requests the meMbers ' for the borough to oppose its adoption by all the means in their power. Dr. tprs, in moving this resolution, said that if the people were fairly represented in Parliament, there would be an end to all out-door agitation. Mr. J. F. BorrrEms seconded the motion. Mr. DIINCOMBE, M.P., who was received with loud cheering, said that he regretted they had met to disduss the details of the most pettifogging mea sure that had ever been put before the country in the shape of reform, and which was in every respect incommensurate with the wants of the people. In the bill there was nothing done for the working classes. (Hear.) The question was, should they get reform or should they not P (A Vbice : We will.) Yes • they and the people of England would get it - if they spoke out as they spoke in 1832. Finality was at an end, and it 'was for them the people of England, to say how wide the door would be Mr. 'Cox, M.P., next addressed the meeting, and said that he would give the bill his opposition in every stage, and commented amid much cheering on the several clauses of the bill, which he stigma tised as utter absurdities—mere blinds and shams ; and amid loud cries of " Bravo, Cox`!" said that the only way of treating the bill was not to introduce amendments but to negative it, to throw it out, and with it amendments; out the Ministers.. Mr. DICKIE moved an amendment for repudiating both the Government bill and Mr. Bright's bill. Hereupon a tremendous uproar arose, hisses, howls, shouts, whistling, bow-wowing, cries of "Sit down !" and other exclamations, "Turn him. out !" " Who is Dickie P" "Dickie is an ass !" pro ceeding from every part of the hall,which was densely crowded, and is capable of holding perhaps 2,000 persons. Before this deafening noise Mr. Dickie was compelled to give way and sit down. On peace being restored, Mr. MANSELL moved an additional amendment for registered manhood suffrage being the basis of any future Reform Bill. Mr. M'GILcHRIST, in seconding the amendment, spoke in favour of manhood suffrage. The mover and seconder of the original resolution cordially accepted the amendment, and the resell'. tion was unanimously carried. A petition was adopted, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. useless, as he conceived that a working man who possessed £6O would tegin to think about be coming a capitalist ani embark his money in some way of trade, by vhich means he might lose his qualification. He )elieved that the present ministry contained nuny good men. Lord Stanley was an able and rising politician, and Sir John Pakington ably performed his duties; but the great fault was that those in high places did not comprehend the wants and the just rights of the working classes. Hehad canvassed Greenwich often enough to kno'w thrise classes, and was more and more convinced that political privileges should not be withheld from them. It was then announced that an aggregate meet ing for the district for the same object as the pre sent meeting would take plac a in a few days, and that Gen. Codrington and the county members had promised to attend. DEVONFORT. In accordance with a numerously signed requisi tion the mayor of Devonport (Mr. J. Laity) con vened a meeting of the inhabitants, which was held on Wednesday night, at the Town-hall, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the Reform Bill now before Parliament, and particularly the clause having reference to the disfranchisement of the officers and men of the dockyard, and to adopt such measures thereon as may be deemed expedient. The chair was taken by the MAYOR, who briefly referred to the purpose for which the meeting was called, and stated that if the Reform Bill now be fore Parliament became law, several hundreds of the electors of that town would lose their votes. The Rev. J. PYER moved the first resolution : " That in the opinion of this meeting the bill re cently submitted to Parliament by her Majesty's Government is insufficient, impolitic, and unjust, inasmuch as, while its declared object is to extend the suffrage, it would destroy the right of voting now enjoyed by upwards of 100,000 of her Ma jesty's subjects, including the officers and artisans of her Majesty's dockyards, without extending the suffrage to the unrepresented masses of the people." Mr. T. WOOLLCOMBE seconded the resolution. There were one or two grievous blemishes in the bill towards which he wished to draw the attention of the meeting, because it appeared to him that they demonstrated how completely the whole bill was a great sham. While in the first instance an enormous number of 40s. freeholders would be disfranchised, yet men who possessed a large amount of money, and who chose to invest it in buying borough qualifications all over England, had nothing to do but to write their names on a piece of paper, and send it by a twopenny post letter, and were entitled to vote if they so chose for every borough in Eng land. [A Voice—We wont have it.] Was there, he asked, anything like even-handed justice in this ? On the contrary, it carried palpably, and on the face of it, a manifest desire on the part of those who had constructed the bill to throw into the hands of persons possessing great wealth, and landed pro prietors, such an amount of influence as would enable them to swamp the inhabitants of the great towns and cities. (Cheers.) By the constitution of the country, disfranchisement was the highest penalty that could be inflicted on a man who still retained his social station. If a man was found guilty , of bribery or corruption he was disfranchised, and under this bill the man who entered her Majesty's service paid the same penalty; thus dockyard artisans were placed in the same category as the corrupt briber. He was quite sure that there was a settled feeling and deter mination among all classes at this day that they will have those reforms carried out which they con sider necessary and essential to the well•being of society. The resolution was then put and carried amid loud cheering. • Mr. H. MARLES proposed the adoption of the petition prepared for presentation to Parliament. He had, he said, been inclined at first to give the Government of Lord Derby his support, but he had changed his opinions, for no sooner had the people asked for bread than they were offered a stone. Good would, however, arise out of the bill, although the people had not shown themselves particularly alive to the matter, perhaps, because they possessed the strength of the lion, and when they roared and shook their mane they compelled concession. As to the disfranchisement of dockyard men—if it was true that the dockyard was such a place of corrup tion, he wondered that some Hercules did not rise up to clean that Augean stable ; but .let the men have the ballot and it would be cleansed in time enough. (Hear.) The bill was a great sham— (cheers)—and Mr. Disraeli, as had been remarked by a public print, when he introduced it, seemed to say he did so because there was no other person who could do it. It would, however, give a lesson to the Whig party in the framing of their bill. C. TRIPE, Esq., who was received with applause, seconded the motion for the adoption of the petition. Mr. AXFORD, who spoke from the body of the hall, contrasted the present movement for reform with the agitation of past days, and regretted that the hall was not full. The details of the bill might be amended, but its principle was bad, andhe hoped it would be thrown out. The petition was unanimously adopted, and re ceived numerous signatures from those present. SOUTHAMPTON. A large meeting of the inhabitants of Southamp ton was held on Wednesday evening, at the Town hall to take into consideration the change proposed by her Majesty's Government in our system of Parliamentary representation. The chair was taken by Mr. E. Palk (the Mayor). Mr. Weguelin, one of the borough members, was present, and was supported by a large body of the leading liberals of the town. The hall was crowded in every part. Mr. PEGLER moved the first resolution: " That in the opinion of this meeting the measure of Par liamentary reform introduced by her Majesty's Government does not meet the requirements of the present time or the just expectation of the country ; for whilst it disfranchises a large number of independent freeholders, it withholds the pro tection of the ballot from "all voters, and unneces sarily restricts the just claims of the intelligent in dustrious classes to be enfranchised." Since 1832 England has risen in wealth, in intelligence, in power; the middle and working classes had made great strides in intellectual culture and had adopted a purer tone of morality, and yet the present so called Reform Bill, instead of taking a stride in advance of its predecessor to suit the spirit of the times, was nothing but a sham, and would not satisfy the desires of the people of England. Mr. Alderman BLATCII seconded the resolution, and entered his earnest protest against such a mea sure. Mr. H. POND supported the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Alderman CLARK proposed the second reso lution :—" That in the opinion of this meeting no measure of reform is worthy the acceptance of this country that does not recognise the claims of the intelligent working classes to be enfranchised ; that does not afford the ballot as a protection to the voter; and that does not effect such a change in the representation of the people as will enable all elasses to be fully and fairly represented." Mr. HARMAN seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. J. T. TUCKER, and carried with one dissentient. Mr.WEGUELIN, M.P., addressed the meeting amid loud cheers. He said the grounds of objection to the Government bill were two. One that it does not reduce the qualification of voters in boroughs to a sufficiently low standard, and the other that it would have the effect of separating still further the counties and towns, which were already too much divided, and would bring the counties still more under Tory dominance, whilst the boroughs would be less independent. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gen tleman proceeded to discuss the provisions of the bill, expressing himself in favour of the ballot, and declaring that upon various grounds his colleague, Mr. Willcox, and himself would give their deter mined opposition to the measure. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and a vote of thanks to the members of the borough for their determination to oppose the bill, and a petition to Parliament against it, were unanimously adopted. representation of the mercantile and trading classes ; whilst it utterly ignores the claims of the working classes to privileges which they have earned by their progress in intelligence, and the attachment they have shown to the l aws an d i nst i tut i ons o f t h e country." A petition to the House of Commons in accordance with this resolution was ordered to be prepared for signature. WOOLWICH. Last night a crowded public meeting of the in habitants of Woolwich, Charlton, and Plumstead was held at the Town-hall, Woolwich, to take into consideration the provisions of the Government Reform Bill. The chair was occupied by Mr. Stuart, and it was explained that General Codring ton (in consequence of a motion in the House of Commons on a military question) was unavoidably absent; but the appearance of Alderman Salomons on the platform was greeted with loud applause. Mr. SAMSON proposed, and Mr. ARMSTRONG seconded, a resolution denouncinc , the Government Reform Bill as entirely inadequate b to the wants of the nation, and a positive insult to the people. The resolution, after the delivery of various ad dresses, was unanimously adopted amidst cheers. Mr. FORDHAM, of Plumstead, in the course of an argumentative address, moved the second reso lution, es pecially condemning the clause of the bill which proposes to disfranchise voters in govern ment employ. Mr. DRAKE seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. A petition, founded upon these resolutions, was then adopted. Alderman SALOMONS, M.P., observed he was de lighted to meet his constituents for the discussion of a great public question, which concerned not them alone but the whole country. (Cheers.) He was not surprised at the verdict which that meeting had passed upon the Reform Bill. (Cheers.) The Government bill excluded from the franchise the great mass of the working classes, and therefore could not be a cce pt e d by th e reform party. It appeared to him that there was considerable " dodging" going on in relation to the bill. They were aware that the bill stood for the second read ing on the 21st inst. ; but the Chancellor of the Exchequer had already given notice that the Go vernment was prepared to make some alterations in the bill, and would place upon the table certain clauses with a view to show the new opinions of the Government on the matter. (Oh, oh.) Alder man Salomons then referred to the details of the bill, which he contended were entirely inefficient. The savings bank qualification would be practically HERTFORD. At a meeting of the members of the Hertford Liberal Registration Association, held on Tuesday evening, under the presidency of Young Crawley, Esq„ ex-Mayor, the Government . Reform Bill was taken into consideration, and, after an animated discussion, the following resolution was agreed to —" That this meeting is of opinion that the Govern ment Reform Bill fails to satisfy the just expecta tions of the country ; that although it appears on the surface to popularise the county constituencies, by extending the franchise to £lO householders, it deprives the concession of all value by stripping the owners of property in boroughs of the right to vote for counties—and by introducing into the borough constituencies a novel element subversive of the principles upon which they have hitherto been constituted, and which would prevent the fair LEEDS. n the round ill has been adoptedApetibtyiontheagtoawinnstcotecilßoeffoLrmeedsßo that the new qualifications proposed to be given by the bill will be found generally to apply to persons who are already entitled to the franchise ; that the proposed right of voting by papers, without the personal attendance of the voter at the poll is viewed by .your petitioners with great distrust, from the experience of gross and, notorious frauds committed within this borough in a similar mode of voting in the election of guardians of the poor; . that the freeholders of the borough of Leeds and of other large towns in the West Riding, of Shef field, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, and Wake field have hitherto exercised their right to vote at the county elections with eminent advantage to the state, and have been proud to have originated and secured the return to the House of Commons of many eminent supporters of political progress and improvement. These freeholders • have never been guilty of or even charged with b r ib er y, corruption, or disorder; and yet the present bill, if passed into law, would deprive them of their county votes without public necessity or any compensating grant of new privileges to the borough constituencies. BRADFORD. Last evening (Thursday) a large and enthusiastic meeting of the inhabitants of Bradford, convened by the mayor, in compliance with a requisition signed by 500 persons and firms, was held in St. George's-hall, in that town, for the purpose of expressingan opinion upon the Government Reform Bill. The following resolution was adopted : " That this meeting regards the so-called Govern mentßeform Bill as a sham, a delusion, and a snare, because, while professing to extend the franchise in couities, it disfranchises a whole class of intelli gent and independent voters whose freehold's are situated in boroughs. Because, while refusing to meddle with nomination and notoriously corrupt boroughs, it restores one of the worst elements of the i old system, non-resident voters, which vicious element was destroyed by the Reform Bill 1832. Because it neithe r att em pt s t o redres the inadequate representation of large boroughs, nor to satisfy the just claims of many large and important unrepresented towns to a voice in Parlimpent. Finally, because it neither gives the ballot Ito protect the voter in the exercise of his franchise, nor extends the franchise to the great body of the industrious classes who have long asked for, and patiently waited for a share in the admi nistration of public affairs,.and whose intelligence and loyalty entitle them to participate in the Go vernment of the country." Other resolutions were also adopted, urging reformers to put forth vigor ous, united, and prompt exertions to prevent the possibility . of this bill, at one so mischievous and inadequate, from passing into a law ; and petitions to Parliament against the bill were also adopted. WAKEFIELD. A meeting of the inhabitants of Wakefield was held in the saloon of the Corn Exchange, on Wed nesday evening, for the purpose of protesting against the. Government Reform Bill; and of decid ing upon the best steps to be taken to oppose it. The room was well filled, there being about 1,000 present. Prior to the commencement .of business, printed lists, containing the names of nearly 600 county , voters, residing in the borougi of Wakefield, whowould be disfranchised if theGove rnmentßeform Bill were to pass, were distribute& Mr, Alderman Harrisbn was called to the chair, an d in the course of a prictical and energetic speech,. analysed and condemned the principal clauses of the Government measure, which he said did not in floe least degree meet the requirements of the working classes. = Mr. Leatham proposed the first resolution=" That in the 'opinion of this meeting the Itaform Bill now l a before the House of Commons is so limited in its scope, so inadequate in its provisions, andso_ob jection ble in its tendency, as to be unworthy of support by the people or by. Parliament." The resolution- was seconded by Mr. C. Morton, and was carried nem. con., and a petitiel i to the. House of Commons, praying that the bill might - not be permitited to pass into law, was adopted. OLDHAM. On Wednesday evening a crowded. meeting was held in the Town-hall, Oldham, which had been called )3y the Mayor, in compliance with a nume rouslysigned requisition, "To protast against the Reform Bill introduced by Government into the Commens House of Parliament; and to petition in favour of the reform principles promulgated by Mr. Bright." ELECTION _INTELLIGXNCE. NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND. ALI4WICK, Thursday.—The election to fill the vacandy in the representation of the northern divi sion of Northumberland, occasioned by-the appoint ment of Lord Lovaine to the office of Vice-Presi dent of the Board of Trade, took place in this town to-dayi. His lordship offered himself for re-election, and Was opposed—at least on the hustings—by Mr. Washington Wilks, the representative of the Nortl4rn Reform Union. The nomination took place in the Town-hall, which was densely crowded. The High Sheriff, Mr. Silverton, acted as returning officer. Lord Lovaine was accompanied to the hustings by Sir Matthew White Ridley, and a number of large landed proprietors. Mr. C. W. ORDE, Chairman of Quarter Sessions, nominated Lord Lovaine. In doing so he spoke highly of his unwearied vigilance while one of the Lords of the Admiralty. Mr. B. BURRILL seconded the nomination. Mr. T. BURNETT, a freeholder of Berwick, nomi nated Mr. Washington Wilks. Mr. E. DAWSON, another Berwick freeholder, seconded the nomination. Lord LOVAINE then addressed the electors. He said when the Derby Government acccepted office it thought the first duty of the Admiralty was to put the shores of the country beyond the possibility of invasion. A state of preparation did not then exist, but we had now such a fleet in the Channel as would preclude the possibility of hostile attacks, and such a state of preparation at our home ports as would supply the necessary reserve if ever it should be required. He defended the withdrawal of the freeholders residing in boroughs from the counties, and said the whole spirit of the Govern ment bill was, that there should be no difference between town and country. The Government could not go further than they had done in the bill with safety. _ _ Mr. WILKS next spoke. He attacked the Go vernment bill as an insult to the country, and com plained of Lord Lovaine's unfitness for the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade; he having no experience whatever in matters of business. Sir M. W. RIDLEY and Mr. M. BELL denied that Lord Lovaine was the nominee of the Duke of Northumberland, or that the people sympathised with manhood suffrage, or the bill. The show of hands was then taken.",lt was equal ; but the High Sheriff, amid much uproar and cries of " Wilks," declared it in favour of Lord Lovaine. Mr. WILTS declined to go to the poll. The proceedings were very noisy. SOUTH LANCASHIRE. Yesterday Mr. John Pemberton Heywood inti mated to the gentlemen formin g th e deputation which waited upon him to receive his answer to the requisition presented to him on Saturday, in viting him to offer himself as a candidate for the southern division of the county, the representation of which will become vacant upon a dissolution in consequence of Mr. Brown's contemplated retire ment, that he could not resist the call made upon him, and he read a letter, which he handed to Mr. Thomas Brocklebank, President of the Reform Association, who headed the deputation , in which he placed his services at their disposal. Mr. Brocklebank, on the part of the deputation, ex pressed the gratification with which the announce ment would be received by all parties. Mr. Hey woo d added that since the presenta tion of the requisi tion, he had received many very gratifying assurances of support from gentlemen of Conser vative political opinions. SMOKING BY BOYS.—By the Way, there ought to be a sumptuary edict against smoking by brats under age. I come into town frequently on the top of an omnibus about the time the clerks come in, and to behold on the roof of the vehicles the long rows of whiskerless, sallow, sickly b o ys, sucking at clay pipes, is nauseous to 'behold. They smoke away their appetites and what little brains they have, and grow up, or rather don't grow up, miserable little snobs, despised by men and contemned by women. — Literary Gazette.

In pursuance of garrison orders, issued on the preceding evening at Woolwich, a funeral party, consisting of 120 rank and file of the Royal Artil lery, 100 of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, 100 of the 79th, the Queen's Royal Rifle Regiment, the Antrim Militia, and an armed detachment of 40 Royal Engineers, assembled yesterday morning at Anglesea-terrace, Woolwich-common, the residence of the late Lieut. Walsh, Royal Engineers. The deceased, it is stated, was 26 years of age, - but of a somewhat debilitated constitution. It appears that on Monday, the 28th ult., in company with n couple of his brother officers, he was proceeding on horse back at a moderate fret along the high road at Charlton, when the animal he was riding stumbled , over some loose stones, fell, forward, and threw him on the kerb, rolling twice' over his body.

Scott, master, additional to the Chesa peake ; Henry T. Ellis, master, to the Hero ; and George A. F. Day 2 second master, to the Algiers. THE FRENCR PRESS. Every appearance within the last few days jus tifies us in anticipating a complete change in the foreign policy of the Emperor of the French. The announcement in the Moniteur has been followed by the resignation by Prince Napoleon of his office as Minister of Algeria, and, gradually descending the Imperial gamut, we arrive at the feeble echo of the semi-official Constitutionnel. The object of this last article is to vindicate to the world the conduct of the Emperor in not involving Europe in the calamities of war. The task is entirely a super fluous one. Let the Constitutionnel reserve its eloquence to defend the Emperor for not having given his subjects some slight remainsof the liberty which they once enjoyed. Let it defend, if it can, his financial management, or show that the cause of good government is materially advanced by the bondage in which he holds the press. These are the matters that require defence, because they offend the general sense and feeling of mankind. But, as " good wine needs no bush," peace, tranquillity, and progress require no honeyed phrases to com mend them to the acceptance of mankind. They speak for themselves with an eloquence deeper and more penetrating than that of words. France, which for the first time since the establishment of the Empire, has given a most unmistakeable vent to her opinion, will willingly excuse the Constitutionnel from proving to her that she has been right, and England will very much prefer being assured of the certainty of the fact to any amount of eloquence that may be offered for its exculpation. Let the French Government and its organs believe that, so long as they are content to range themselve s on the side of enlightened public opinion, they require neither eloquence nor circumlocution to justify their course, and learn how safe and easy is the path of those who, being entrusted with the govern ment of men, are content to regulate themselves by the wishes of the people and the true interests of the State, instead of by perverse vanity and self willed ambition. " Peace taken when offered, and no questions asked," is the motto of the English people on the present occasion. We desire no re trospects ; w e want no controversies. We want • peace. Give us that, and take all the satisfaction that words can give, as a counterpoise for the loss of the pleasures and excitements of war. Some things are easier done than said, especially to those whose power is omnipotent, but whose reaso n does not rise above the com mon l eve l o f the human faculties. The strong point of despot ism is not reason, but action. It is in vain the organs of absolute power exhaust all the sources of their venal rhetoric. The power which com mands obedience cannot enforce conviction, and the mind, p rou d o f its inalienable liberty, re pudiates the attempt to force on it conclusions which its reason disdains. The Constitutzonnel had better not endeavour to prove to us that the Impe rial policy remains the same, firm, conciliatory, and frank ; that its programme has not been changed that it has been traced in a sufficiently elevated point of view and been followed with sufficient honour to have been persevered in. All this vague phraseology means nothing, and. persuades nobody. A really elevated policy makes itself sufficiently well known to the maids of men without being compelled to trumpet forth its own elevation, and honour can be fully felt and appreciated without perpetually reminding us how honourable it is. Let the Imperial Government desist from praising itself, a nd leave its merits to the candid apprecia tion of its neighbours. The Moniteur has spoken words of peace ; it is well. The Constitutionnel has re-echoed them ; it is well also. Let them be content with allowing us to believe their assertions to be true, without insisting at the same time that we should admit the falsehood of facts which rest on evidence equally good.
