THE INTERNATIONAL SUPPLEMEN TAnY EXHIBITION of 1862. Although the Great Exhibition Building, now in course of erection. covers nearly 25 acres of ground, yet there remains a very large number of intending Exhibitors who have been nedessarily excluded by the want of space. This has caused grdiat disappointment, both at home and abroad, to many whip had made preparations for the exposition of their pro ductions. To meet this want, and at the same time to give facilities for the sale of the goods which will be collected from all parts of the World, a Company has been formed, the Capital of which is subset ibed, for the purpose of erecting on a spot closely contiguous to the Great Exhibition Building ' an Ornamental Stritture designed by Sir JOSEPH PA XTON, where the Exhibitors will have the advantage of a Building in every respect applicable for a favourable display of their goods, and with the privilege of selling the same to the vast concourse of visitors who will inevitably be attracted to Lon don during the present year. The Building will be called "The International Supple mentary Exhibition," and will cover about three acres of around. The who'e of the space for exhibition will be upon the ground floor, and upon the walls, there being no galleries, and such is the perfection of the design, that all parts will be equally well lighted. A provisional contract has been entered into with an emi nent contractor ibr the erection of the Building, which is to be completed, under a heavy penalty, on or before the 15th day of May next. The charges will be— For floor space l2s. per square foot. For wall space 6s. „ Persons desirous of obtaining space must apply at the Offices of the Company, having previously paid to the credit of the Trustees, at the City Bank, Threadneedle-street, or at the Agra Bank, 27, Cannon-street, the amount payable upon the space applied for, which will be allotted according to the priority of application. The names of the Trustees are— Sir RO BE RT WALTER CARDEN, Alderman, Chair man of the City Bank. Mr. Alderman FINNIS, Director of the Agra Bank. WILLIAM JACKSON, Esq., M.P. If from any cause the Building should not be completed, or if the space applied for should not be allotted, the amount of the deposit-money will be returned in full.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. THE THEATRES IN LENT. Viscount DUNGANNON gave notice that on Friday, the 14th, he should call attention to the licenses granted by the Lord Chamberlain, in which the clause prohibiting performances on Ash Wednesday had been excluded. CHURCH RATES. The Bishop of WORCESTER presented petitions from places in his diocese against the unconditional abolition of church rates. • AMERICA. Earl of DERBY said he was not in the habit of occupy ing the time of their lordships in matters personal to himself, but in the observations he had last night addressed to them he had been reported in the Times to say that which was exactly the reverse of what he did say. In that newspaper he had been made to say, with reference to the Southern States, that the time had now arrived when we should re • cognize the independence of those States. Now, what he did say was, that the time had not arrived for such recog nition. TH Th E e n ll o l b E l e M E O a R r a A I s L o s T a i O d h T e H w E o u I P d ß p l u N t C a E q u C e s O t N o n S O t o R T t h. e noble lord which he could answer on Monday ; it was, whether the Government as a Government intended to state how the subscriptions which were at present being raised for a memorial to his late Royal Highness the Prince Consort were to be appropriated. At pre sent the subscriptions amounted to nearly £27,000 ; and as no instruction was given as to how those subscrip tions were to be appropriated, many persons had withheld them until it was known how the amount was to be appro priated. Earl GRANVILLE said he would give the noble earl an answer on Monday. THE EDUCATIONAL MINUTE. The Earl of DERBY wished to know whether there would be any objection to lay on the table, side by side, the educational minute which had been issued and the altera tion it was proposed to make in it. Earl GRANVILLE said he would take an early oppor tunity of stating the intentions of the Government, and he had no objection to lay the paper referred to by the noble earl on the table of their lordships' house. THE IMPRISONMENT OF MR. SHEPPARD. The Earl of CARNARVON inquired of her Majesty's Government as to the truth of the arrest, imprisonment, and ill- treatment of a Canadian subject under order of Mr. Seward, and moved for copies of any correspondence which existed on the subject. Earl RUSSELL said the circumstances were nearly as already known. On the 29th of October, Mr. Sheppard wrote to Lord Lyons, complaining of the arrest. His lord ship immediately communicated with Mr. Seward, who stated that the oath of allegiance had been tendered to Mr. Sheppard, under the belief that he was an American subject, and his release was subsequently obtained on the condition that he should not go into the Southern States. The Fede ral Government claimed that in an extraordinary emer gency like the present, the President must be armed with extraordinarypowers extending to foreigners and Americans. Her Majesty's Government had entered a strong remon strance to this, and there was no objection to produce the correspondence. The Earl of CARNARVON said he should most cer tainly move for the correspondence. He did, however, hope, as the circumstances were so in accordance with the reports on the subject, that the Government would not be content with simple remonstrances, but that they would demand compensation tor the indignity. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Mr. FREELAND gave notice that he would move for the production of the report of Lord Hubbard and Mr. Foster on the subject of their mission to Constantinople. THE BLOCKADE OF THE AMERICAN PORTS. On bringing up the report of the address in reply to the Royal Speech, Mr. GREGORY drew attention to the blockade of the American p , ,,rts, a subject which he contended was on the lips and in the minds of every one. During the recess he had written to Lord Russell on the subject and received a reply from his lordship to the effect that, with respect to whether the blockade,tin the event of its not being efficient, would be recognised by the Government, he had given no instructions to Lord Lyons. His lordship said, also, that he believed there would be no difficulty in the mat ter with the Government of the United States. Ho (Mr. Gregory) was convinced that the blockade was a mere paper blockade. He should take an early opportunity of bringing the whole-question before the house, and if his figures were correct, it would be found that the blockade was not efficient. THE TRENT AFFAIR. Admiral WALCOTT spoke in terms of praise of the loyal spirit so recently exhibited by the inhabitants of Canada, and the conduct of the Government in the affair of the Trent. Mr. BENTINCK agreed with the hon. member for Galway (Mr. Gregory) in the necessity for bringing for ward the subject of the blockade, but he considered at pre sent that any interference by this country on the subject would be a departure from the policy of neutrality. MOROCCO. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS drew attention to the affairs of Morocco. _ The Address was then agreed to. HIGHWAYS. Sir G. GREY moved for leave to bring in a bill for the better Management of Highways in England, and explained that the principal object of the bill was to establish high way district boards. Mr. BARROW opposed the bill, as tending to deprive parishes of authority in local matters, and as being gene rally uhpopular. The motion was then agreed to, and, later in the evening, was read a first time. DECLARATION OF OFFICES BILL. Mr. HADFIELD moved for leave to bring in a Bill to render it unnecessary to make and subscribe certain de clarations as a qualification for offices and employments. After some discussion, the house went into committee, and leave was given to bring in the bill. KITCHEN AND REFRESHMENT ROOMS (HOUSE OF COMMONS). Col. FRENCH moved the appointment of the following hon. members, as a standing committee, to control the arrangements of the kitchen and refreshment rooms, in the department of the r Sergeant at Arms attending this house :—Colonel French, Mr. Hume, Mr. Dalglish, Mr. Monckton Mines, Mr. Roupell, Viscount Bury, Colonel Dunne, Mr. Monson, Mr. Onslow, and Mr. FitzGerald— three to be the quorum. The motion was agreed to. WHIPPING. Mr. HADFIELD obtained leave to bring in a bill to abolish punishment by whipping for offences committed by criminal prisoners, and to amend so much of an Act for the more speedy trial and punishment of juvenile offenders as relates to the whipping of offenders. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. - Mr. HENNESSEY moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the relief of the poor in Ireland. Sir R. PEEL said that he had announced his intention of bringing in a bill on the subject. After a few words from Colonel FRENCH, and Mr. HEN NEssEY,the motion was agreed to. Some'bills were read a first time. The house then adjourned at 25 minutes to 6 o'clock. A ROBBERY CLEVERLY 'DEFEATED. An attempt at burglary was made a few nights since on the house of the cure of the commune of Bourcq, near Vouziers (Ardennes), during his temporary absence from home, but the thieves were defeated in their plans by the courage and coolness of a female, Mme. Chamont, his house keeper. During the day two rather suspicious looking men called, under pretext of seeing the eure, to ask him whether return that night. he would accept a part of the donation accorded to poor was absent, inquired wouldthe cure the church, but were Mme. Chaumont heard some r e Te h hf l veryerys churches, h d aalso s particularly andaAskasked o being e tp in emr g w mi persons approach the back door and endeavour to open it, tolddhinse permission gihohenrt that t:ol t e h nav but as they could not do so, she heard one of them say, ;o to the window and I will get in by standing:on dders." The housekeeper felt very much alarmed, standing at some little distance from the village, id not lose her presence of mind, and running the kitchen, armed herself with a thick stick and When she returned she found that the thief had pane of glass, and was endeavouring to get the window. Mme. Chaumont opposed him, but several blows on the arm from a heavy instrument. mado use of the spit. The first thrust was harm did not penetrate his clothes, and he threatened • her if she did not allow him to get in. She then Ire violent thrust, which went deep into his body, II to the ground with the spit still sticking in the 'he weapon was drawn out by his accomplice, and off. Mme. Chaumont then called for assistance, .al of the inhabitants of the village arrived. The found in the garden, and traces of blood were seen little distance. NORTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at York—Mr. H. S. Thompson, M.P., in the chair. The report having been read, The CHAIRMAN said that the diminution in the gross re ceipts, the increase in the working expenses and in interest, had together produced a diminution in the dividends of three-quarters per cent. on the Berwick stock, a half per cent. on the York stock, and a quarter per cent. reduction on the Leeds section. The decrease in receipts had taken place chiefly in the goods and the mineral department, the largest being in the goods, and that diminution had occurred in three distinct parts of their system—the first being the Hull imports, the second the West Hartlepool imports, and the third the grain and potato trade from Scotland. The de crease in the traffic from Hull applied to almost every article, but far the most largely to grain and timber, the grain being the largest of all. The quantity of grain imports into Hull during the last six months of 1861 exhibited n falling off as compared with the corresponding half of 1860 of 3,417,776 bushels. The West Hartlepool traffic was very much of the same character. During the last four months of 1860 an extra train was run daily from Berwick to York, with grain and potatoes, but that traffic had altogether ceased, and upon that the receipts were diminished by £3,747. The principal cause for the diminution in this traffic was that there was a better harvest in England last year than in the year before, there not being such large quantities of foreign corn required. With the exceptions to which he had alluded, the general traffic showed a steady increase. He referred to the influence on the traffic by the depression of trade, and submitted that the increase in the working ex penses had been unavoidable. He stated that along with the additional facilities which had been afforded to the public there had been a considerable increase in the pas senger traffic. The amount that had been laid out on the Tyne Docks was approaching £600,000, and the company had realized 4 per cent. on that outlay. They had besides 100 acres of land reclaimed and reclaimable, warehouses, &c. He alluded to the increase in the quantity of coal shipped at Newcastle and Sunderland, and concluded by moving that the report of the directors be received and adopted. After a rather lengthy discussion, the motion was carried mnimously. A dividend (less income-tax) at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum for the half. year ending the 31st of December was declared on the Berwick stock, of 4 per cent, per annum on the Thhsk and Mallon stock, of 41 per cent, per annum on the York stock, and at the rate of 2/ per cent. per annum on the Leeds stock. The directors were authorised to construct a line through the Tean Valley to Gateshead, and also a branch railway to connect the Company's Pensher branch with shipping places in the river Wear. The directors were authorised to proceed with a bill for the continuation of the Market Weighton Branch to Bever ley, provided that £40,000 of the company's 4 per cent. stock was subscribed for by responsible parties, and that the prin cipal landowners would agree to sell their land on terms satisfactory to the directors. They were also authorised to subscribe £2,000 towards the construction of a bridge and tramway across the harbour at Hull. After the directors retiring by rotation, and also the audi tor (Mr. A H. Aylie), had been re• elected, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. STOCKPORT, DISLEY, AND WHALEY BRIDGE. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Leadenhall-street; Mr. R, R. Notman in the chair. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution to the effect that the directors be authorised to borrow on mortgage, under the provisions of the Stockport, Disley, and Whaley Bridge Railway Extension Act, 1857, any sum or sums of money not exceeding in the whole £66,600. Mr. HOWARD seconded the motion, and it was carried. The meeting then separated. HALIFAX AND QUEBEC. A memorial in favour of this line, addressed to Lord Pal merston, has been placed in the Liverpool Exchange, where it has been numerously and influentially signed. The memorial represents the desirableness of completing a line of railway .between Halifax and the Grand Trunk Railway, and states that the project was favourably re ported on by Lord Durham, then Governor-General of British America, so long ago as 1838. Of this line 370 miles have already been all but completed; and the memo rialists ask for Government aid to construct the remainder, as recent events have shown the immense importance of such a line as a defensive measure, and as such the memo rialists claim for it Imperial aid. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday the examining barristers of the Houses of Lords and Commons decided that the Standing Orders were complied with in the following cases : BAXSTEAD AND EPSOM DOWNS.—For making a railway from the Sutton station of the Croydon and Epsom Railway to Banstead and Epsom Downs, and to raise for the purpose £85,000 in shares and £28,300 upon loan. KENT COAST.—To construct railways or tramways at Ramsgate, and to empower the Board of Trade, if they think fit, to transfer the harbour of Ramsgate to the Kent Coast Company, with power to raise £160,000 on shares, and borrow £53,000. BRISTOL PORT.—For a railway from the port of Bristol to the old channel at the mouth of the river Avon, and a pier there, the estimated cost of the railway being £85,000 and of the pier £40,000, with power to borrow £41,000. SPALDING AND BOURN.—For a railway between these places and a capital of £130,000. The other Bills disposed of were the Caledonian (devia tions) ; Londonderry and Coleraine (arrangements with creditors). The railway Bills declared not to have complied with the Standing Orders were the Bristol and Exeter, Chard and Taunton, the Hatfield and St. Albans, and Cowbrilge. The Ledbury and Glocester Railway Bill was withdrawn. MEDITERRANEAN EXTENSION TELEGRAPH. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the London Tavern, Mr. H. Moor in the chair. The report stated that the receipts for messages, as com pared with the previous hall-year, hal more than doubled, while the expenditure had not materially increased, Since the opening of the Alexandria line in November last the traffic had greatly augmented, and was still increasing. The directors had experienced considerable difficulty in se curing a systematic transmission of telegraphic communica tion through the Italian kingdom, -but there was a proba bility of their efforts being successful, the Italian Govern ment having entered into arrangements which. when com pleted, would, it was believed, secure the object in view. The attempt made by Messrs.iGlasse, Elliot, and Co., for tho restoration of the old submarine cables failed, and there was now little hope of success in that direction. Their new cables, the one connecting Malta and Sicily, and the other connecting Corfu and Otranto, continued to work most efficiently. The directors had lately received information through the company's agent at Turin that it was the im mediate intention of the Italian Government to lay a sub marine cable connecting Sicily with Sardinia, by which means the route via Naples, Rome, &c., which had been the cause of so much difficulty and delay, would be avoided, and a regular and more speedy communication be obtained. The directors confidently hoped that the operations of the company for the current half-year would enable them in August next to declare a dividend on the original shares. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the sum of £2,095 deposited at Messrs. Overend and Gurney's was to provide for claims on tho part of other companies. The company was progressing s atisfactorily ; the receipts for messages had more than doubled, while the expenditure had not materially increased. The lines were PR1CE.....-...4d.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING. A General Court-Martial was held in the Victoria Library-room, Royal Barracks yesterday, for the trial of Capt. Robertson, 4th Dragoon Guards. The first charge against him is, in substance, that hav ing been publicly insulted by Colonel Dickson, and not having obtained an apology, he failed to comply with the 17th Article of war in not submitting the matter to be dealt with by the commanding officer of the regiment. The second charge is that Captain Robertson stated, in a letter to Major. G ener al Forster, that he submitted his application to retire from the army by the sale of his commission " en tirely through intimidation," he then well knowing the said statement to be false. A captain of the 11th Hussars conducted Captain Robertson to the court. The President of the Court was Brigadier-General the Hon. A. Gordon, C. 8., and the other members were :—Colonel Phil pots, R.H.A. ; Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzwigram, 15th Hussars; Lieutenant-Colonel Beste, 86th ' Regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Goodlake, Cold stream Guards ; Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. H. Monckton, 3d Hussars ; Lieutenant- Colonel Frazer, 11th Hussars ; Major Reede, 14th Hussars ; Major Hamilton, 87th R.1.F., Major Cobb, 87th R.1.F.; Major Newton, R,H.A. ; Major Arbuthnot, R.H.A.; Major Roe, let battalion 11th Foot; Major Neville, ditto ; Brevet-Major C. Darby, 86th Regiment, officiated as Judge-Advocate. The official order from General Sir George Brown directing the holding of the Court having been read by the Judge-Advocate, that officer, by direction of the President, asked Captain Robertson if he ob jected to be tried by any of the officers named. Captain Robertson replied that he had no objec tion to make to any of the officers forming the Court. The President and members of the Court, as well as the Judge-Advocate, were then sworn in the manner prescribed by the Articles of War. The President then ordered the court to be cleared. At half-past 1 o'clock the court was again opened, merely to be adjourned until 2 o'clock. At 2 o'clock the Court re-assembled, Sergeant Sullivan being present. The several officers having answered to their names, the court was again' cleared. In a few minutes the court was again opened. The President asked Captain Robertson if he had any papers to hand into the Court, upon which Captain Robertson handed in a document, which was read by the Judge-Advocate. It was a request to the Court to adjourn the trial till Monday next. His character and honour being at stake he had thought it right to engage professional assistance, and his counsel, Sergeant Sullivan and Mr. Tandy, could not attend till the day mentioned. The court was cleared in order to consider the application. On its being reopened the President informed Captain Robertson that his request was gr . ,a.nt d. The Court, however, could not hear counse l the questions must be all put through Captain Robert son himself. The President intima ted to the repre sentatives of the press that it was not usual t o publish the proceedings of a court-martial till they had terminated, as ex parte statements might injur e the accused. The Court was adjourned till Mond ay morning. Ayesterday. Mr. Al ex. B . e o little ns is troormi Courtce cam e the Slator, had property in the county Longford, worth £6OO a-year, now reduced by mortgages and other charges to £447. He married while a minor, and has had three children by his wife, of which two are still living. In October last, he left his, estate, wife, and children, and started for Australia as apprentice in a merchant ship, leaving a power of attorney with his wife to enable her to recover £l5O. a -year of the property in the event of his death. The Court was moved for an allowance of alimony to bo secured out of the estate now. Tho Judge said he thought the claims of a man's wife and chil dren were paramount, at least to whisky and cigar bills. He would, therefore, deal with the impug nant as if he were dead, and allow Mrs. Slator the amount secured to her by the marriage settlement, —that is, £l5O a-year, and, in addition, £BO a-year for the maintenance of the two children. A pap, '(No. 6)S has been laid before Perlis,. meat, containing the correspondence relating to +hA Confederate and Federal steamers Nashville and Tuscarora, recently in the Southampton Waters. The communications and replies are forty five in number, but we do not think that of the active correspondence between the 21st November when the Nashville arrived at Southampton, to the Ist of February, 1862, there is a letter of general interest. The proceedings in this affair were brought to a conclusion by the departure of the Nashville, followed, after the 24 hours' 4, law," by the Tusca rora. The concluding summary is all we have space for : Earl Russell to Mr. Adams. Foreign-office, Feb. 1, 1862. Sir,—l have now the honour to send you a sum mary of the proceedings of the Board of Admiralty in regard to the Tuscarora and Nashville, in South- a m pton Water. I think you will see from this summary that her Majesty's Government have reason to complain of the conduct of the commander of the Tuscarora, as an attempt to carry on hostilities in the waters of a neutral. I have the honour also to enclose a copy of the London Gazette, containing the rules which I men tioned to you in a previous letter.—l am, Sir, (Signed) RUSSELL. Statment of Facts with regard to the Tuscarora, United States Vessel of War, and the Nashville, a vessel belonging to the so-styled Confederate States. Nov. 21, 1861.—Nashville arrived at South ampton, and taken into dock for caulking and other repairs. Dec. 15.--Tuscarora arrived, and anchored off entrance to river Itchen. Dec. 23.—Captain Patsy reported no repairs had been made in Nashville beyond what were abso lutely necessary, and tha she had not been in any way equipped more completely as a man-of-war. Jan. 10, 1862.—Captain Patey reported that dockmaster at Southampton had on previous night found two officers (one with side arms), and three men belonging to Tuscarora under Graving Dock fence on pier between docks—they stated that they were stationed there by their captain's orders to watch Nashville, and to make a signal to their own ship should Nashville attempt to get under way. Dockmaster removed these persons. Jan, 10.—Captain Patey also reported that Tus. carora had received 150 tons of coal, and had kept her :steam up since her arrival, with a spring on her cable apparently ready for sea. Jan. 11.—Captain Wilcox, of her Majesty's ship Dauntless, stationed in Southampton Water, informed captains of Tuscarora and Nashville that he had observed preparations for their departure, and had instructions to prevent any hostilities in British waters, and brought to their notice that the law of nations requires that 24 hours should elapse before the departure of one belligerent ship from a neutral port in pursuit of another. Capt. Patey, as senior officer at Southampton, also in formed captains of Tuscarora and Nashville that he received orders to detain one vessel until the other had 24 hours' start. Captains of two vessels answered they would conform t o la w; a n d Capt ain Craven, of Tuscarora , clai me d ri g h t of free access to sswifrtohm waters of a nation believed to be the United States," trusting that s ian t n r d i a c m t egi i t m r; partiality would be observed between the two vessels. In reply, Captain Patey referred to fact of Captain Craven having sent officers and men into docks to watch Nashville, and also pointed out that a boat, apparently armed, from the Tus carora, had been observed pulling in and out of the Docks without landing during the night. Captain Craven gave assurance that this would not be repeated. Jan. 13.—Tuscarora left anchorage at 4 aza., and proceeded to anchor one mile west of Calshot light-ship. Returned at 4 p.m. to former anchorage at entrance of Itchen river. Jan. 15.—Tuscarora at 2 p.m. weighed, and passed Calshot. Jan. 1 (3.—At 2 p.m. returned to original anchorage. Jan. 20.—At 8 p.m. proceeded down Southamp ton Water, and anchored outside Calshot Castle. Jan. 22.—At 10 a,m. returned to anchorage at mouth of Itchen river. Jan. 25.—Capt. Patcy reported Nashville coaled, and necessary repairs completed and Tuscarora ready for sea; also that, in conversation with him, Capt. Craven, of Tuscarora, had avowed that he would do his utmost to render rule as to 24 hours' start null and void, by constantly keeping up steam, and having slips on her cable, so that the moment Nash ville might move Tuscarora would precede her, and claim priority of sailing, returning again within 24 hours, and so actually blockading Nashville in a neutral port. Jan. 26.—Under instructions Capt. Patey obtained written promises from captains of Tuscarora and Nashville not to leave their then positions without giving 24 hours' notice. Jan. 27.—1 n order to prevent any hostile proceed ings between the two vessels in British waters, a messenger was despatched in the morning to South ampton with instructions to Capt. Patey to require Nashville to depart by 12 o'clock at noon on Tues day, the 28th January, and Tuscarora on following day at same hour ; but at 1 p.m., and before re ceiving these last-mentioned instructions, Cap tain Patey telegraphed that the captain of the Tuscarora had notified to him that that ship would put to sea on the following day, namely, on the 28th January, at 11 a.m. To this telegram an answer was at once sent that the Tuscarora was accordingly to be allowed to proceed first ; and under the circumstances, Capt. Patey did not T t h u i s n c k a r i o t r a nee of e t s h sa e ry o r d t e o rs a h e e qu ( a c i a n p t ta t i h n e p captain r e o e e f v t h e d e subsequently (on the afternoon of the 27th), re quiring the ship to quit Southampton. 28.—Captain tha o t f ra h T e u s s h c o a u ro lad r e e f p e o r r d t e e p d a b r y tu l r e e t , t i e n e Jan. Captain Patey to consequence of inclemeney of weather, until 29th, or first fine day. Captain Patey, in answer, told Captain Craven that he saw nothing in the state of the weather to prevent Tuscarora proceeding, and requested she would lose no time in doing so, ob. serving that, having received from Captain Craven a written notification of his intention to proceed on the 27th, at 11 a.m., he (Captain Patey) had not deemed it necessary to convey to Captain Craven the instructions he had received for Tuscarora to leave Southampton at noon on the 28th. Jan. 28.—Capt. Patey directed by telegraph not to take any steps, at present, to compel Tuscarora'a departure. Jan, 29.—At 810 a.m. Tuscarora proceeded down Southampton Water. Jan, 30.—Captain Patey, by telegraph, reports Tuscarora at 2 p.m. remains in Yarmouth Roads, and he asks for instructions as to Nashville's de parture. Informed, in reply, that the time of the Nashville's departure will date from hour Tuscarora shall really go to sea, in accordance with notice, Admiralty, Jan. 30, 1862. The little Church of the Carmelites in the Rue d'Enfer has just undergone a complete restoration. Ac cording to tradition this church was founded by Robert, son of Hugh Capet, who built it over a crypt which had served as the residence of St. Denis, while he was engaged in preaching to the Parisians. This subterranean chapel was still in existence at the close of the last century, the entrance to it being under the high altar. When the Car melites cams from Spain and settled on this spot in 1604, Queen Mary of Medici granted them her protection, and had their church magnificently decorated by Philippe de Champagne. Among the works executed there by that artist was a fresco on the ceiling, a wonderful specimen of foreshortening.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he infbrms us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.
