" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra.

By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevenkd. 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.

Fremantle, K.C.8., in command of the Channel Squadron, struck his flag on board the screw steam-ship Royal Albert, 121, at Ply mouth, on Wednesday at sunset. It is reported that the gallant officer is gone to the Admiralty on special business. The alterations' rind improvements ordered by the Admiralty to be made at No. 1 dock in Chatham dockyard will be at once commenced by the Govern ment contractors, Messrs. Foord and Sons, of Ro chester. The works will include the taking down and removal of the present entrance to the docks, and substituting a more commodious one, by which a better access will be obtained for ships requiring to be docked. It is also intended to effect some im provements in the interior of the dock, whereby more space will be obtained, besides other advan tages. The works are expected to be in hand seve ral months. The Torch, 4, contract built steam gun-vessel, fitting at Chatham for the first-class steam reserve, has been masted and rigged, and has commenced shipping her stores fromthe dockyard. She is nearly completed, and will be ready to take her place in the steam reserve fleet by the time ordered—the 31st inst. Nos. 30 and 32 mortar vessels have been entirely broken up at Chatham dockyard. The timbers of which these vessels were built have bkeu stowed to gether, apart from the'tithtir timber in the dockyard but, in consequence of its rotten state, very little, it is expected, will be found fit to be brought into use for the purposes of the dockyard. The Trincomalee, 24, sailing frigate, which is fit ting at Chatham as a training ship for the Naval Coast Volunteers, is to be supplied with the follow ing armament :--Main deck, 10 32-pounders, each of 50 swt. ; and 6 8-inch guns, each 52 cwt. The operation of cutting asunder and half launch ing a 50-gun frigate will take place at Chatham dockyard in a few days, as the sailing frigate Are thttsa, 50, is being converted into a screw steamer. The Albatross, 12; has been entirely broken up at Chatham dockyard. Altholigh the Albatross has been built a great number of years, and has seen considerable service in all parts of the world, several of the timbers were found to be as sound as on the day they were first put into the ship, while the bolts and fastenings, notwithstanding their age, were all in very good condition. The workmanship of the vessel, too, was likewise found to be exceedingly good. The Immortalite, M, screw, bas been undocked from No. 7 dock at Portsmouth, on the completion of her coppering to her present draught. The Victoria and Albert, Royal paddle yacht, Capt. lion. J. Denman, completed her repairs alongside Portsmouth dockyard last evening. The Algiers, 91, screw, Capt. G. D. O'Callaghan, and the Mars, 80, screw, Capt. J. N. Strange, are both under orders to proceed to Portland from Spithead, and are expected to sail hourly. The screw steamship Orion, 91, Capt. S. B. Frere, from the Mediterranean, arrived in Ply mouth Sound yestprday (Thursday) afternoon. It is said that her crew will be transferred to the screw steamship St. George, 91, in the first-class steam reserve. The paddlewheel steam tender Advice, Second Master M. Raymond, left Plymouth on Wednesday for Queenstown. The sailing brig Swift has been taken into the basin at Devonport dockyard to be fitted as a moor ing vessel for Malta. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Thomas Pounds, Master, to the Hecate; Frank Inglis, Master, to the Trafalgar; Henry S. Ley, Master, to the Diadem ; and John W. W. Green,•Payrnaster, to the Hecate. TILE ARMY. The garrison orders of Tuesday last issued at Woolwich having contained a memorandum an nouncing the intention of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambtidgc to inspect the troops of the gar rison on the following Thursday, preparations com menced yesterday for that purpose. Notwithstand ing the showery and sombre-looking state of the at mosphere and the wet condition of the ground, the whole of the infantry assembled in the barrack-field in heavy marching order at *noon. His Royal Highness remained till near six o'clock inspecting the garrison throughout, and terminated his visit by dining at the public mess at 7 o'clock. The reinforcanents for the 26th Company of Royal Engineers at Bermuda will leave the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham this day, for Cork, where they will embark on board the Arabi a .

It is the intention of the Indian Go vernment to despatch a large number of the Indian Engineers from this country to Bengal, Bombay, and Madras, in consequence of the whole of the Royal Engineers having been withdrawn from India. The examination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military Culiege, Addiscombe, com menced before the Council of Military Education on Wednesday at the Royal, Hospital, Chelsea, Major-General Rumley, the vice-president of the council, presiding, and the remaining members of the council being Major-Gen. Portlock, Colonel Elwyn, Lieut.-Col. Addison," and the Rev. Canon Moseley. The examination will extend over 14 days, ending the Ist pros. Rumours of recent strange doings at this peculiar institution are floating about the district, and prow on inquiry to have something stable for their origin. Everything that transpires at the " Abode o - Love' seems to be kept as secre t as poss ibl e, and the inci dent which has recently occurred forms no excel) tion to the rule. From information affJrded us we are enabled to give the following particulars : About six years ago Mr. Lewis Price, a clergyman and a Welshman, joined the Princeites. Since then he has married one of three Miss Nottidges, who are said to have taken with them to the Agape mono £6,000 each, the whole of which money was secured to the lord. Another Miss Nottidge was married to an inmate, and a third died lately under distressing circumstances. The brother of the de • ceased lady has taken legal proceedings against Mr. Prince, the head of the establishincnt, for the recovery of the £6,000 his sister possessed, and the case will, we understand, come before the Judges next term. Mr. Price appears at one time to have been a zealous advocate of the creed of his adoption, and was one of those who attended the noisy meet ing held in Bridgewater to persuade the good folk of this town that Mr. Prince was a heaven-sent prophet and redeemer. About three months ago, however, Mr. Price, having been deprived of ,his wife for six weeks or thereabouts, got tired of his lord's assumptions, and left the loving abode, vainly endeavouring to take his lady with him. With the late Mr. Waterman, of Castle-house, Enmore, he resided for a short time, and has also been, staying at the Lamb Inn, Spaxton, adjoining the Agape mane, devoting his time and energies to procure the release of his wife front the guardianship of, his aforetime affectionate brethren. Various have been the plans and contrivances to attain this end; but they have hitherto proved unavailing. Applica tion was mad e t o th e po li ce to remove Mrs. Price by force, her husband alleging that he had reason to beli eve th a t s h e was deta i ned against her will. Of course the constable had no power to intrude themselves among the happy family and tear away one of its members, so another plan had to be devised. It was arranged that when the lady was walking on the terrace in the rear of the dwelling of the Princeites, Mr. Price should jump the barriers dividing the grounds from neighbouring field, seize his partner, and trust to the protection of the policeman in waiting to pre vent a breach of the peace from the gentlemen of the Agapemone assaulting him and rescuing her. This scheme, feasible as it looked, turned out to be difficult of execution. The doughty Welshman patiently waited for a favourable opportunity to display his courage, but whenever his lady made her appearance in the gardens and on the terrace, she was guarded by a Princeite on either side, or was accompanied by one only with others at hand. Whether Mr. Price did not consider himself capable of attacking two Agapemonites, or whether he feared the readiness of the police officer to give him prompt succour, has not trans pired, The gallant liberation was not attempted, proceeding no further than a project, and recourse was consequently had to law, hoping perhaps that that might achieve what force had not dared to essay. The services of Mr. William Brice, of Bridgewater, were retained, and that gentleman iu company with Mr. Price demanded the lady so much sought after at the Agapemone itself. The gates were locked against them when their busi ness was, known, and access denied to the object of their search. A fortnight back affidavits were laid before the Judges detailing the circumstances of the case, and declaring that the lady was de tained against her will. Thereupon a writ of habeas corpus was issued, the return to which had to be made last Friday. The case was on that day heard in private before a Judge in Chambers, Sir F. Slade appearing for Mr. Price, and Mr. Benjamin Lovibond on the part of the founder of the Agape mane, producing Mrs. Price in propria persona. The lady deposed that she was not detained in the "Abode of Love" in defiance of her inclination, and that she was desirous of remaining in the blissful edifice. This reply defeated the aim of the husband, the Judge at once declining to make an order for the ' restoration of the lady to her liege lord. Further proceedings are to be taken, for we hear that there is a question of money to be contested, besides a question of wife possession, Mr. Price being shat out from the enjoyment of any - portion of his wife's £6,000, as well as from the fortune he may have owned himself prior to throwing him self into the arms and power of Mr. Prince. It is I stated that all the inmates of the Agapemone trans fer their property to their chief, and sign a deed by which they agree to forfeit all en discontinuing to reside at the place and separating themselves from the association. By the same decd provision is made that members absenting themselves three months shall be excluded. The people of the vil lage of Spaxton allege that 17 or 18 Agapemonites have quitted the place within 12 months, and they say for seven or eight years no children have been born to the many couples !living in the mysterious establishment.—Bridyezvater Mercury. PAPER DUTY. In all discussions on the paper duty no one has yet suggested how the amount that will be sacri ficed by its abolition is to be made up. But it is on this that the whole matter should turn. Grant everything that may be said against it, the neces sity remains for some new tax to take place; and when that is mentioned we shall be able to weigh if the new evil will be lighter than the old. It is vain to lo'ok only at one-half of the argument. When Mr. Gladstone brought in his budget he showed an estimated surplus of £461,000; but it is known that the greater part of this, if not the whole, has since been lost in remissions and modi fications which have been forced upon him. That, however, constitutes a very inferior item of the difficulty to be considered. The £464,000 was not a surplus of legitimate revenue. By new arrange ments with regard to the periods of payment of the malt and hop duties Mr. Gladstone obtained a sum of £1,400,000, which will never again figure in any annual return. Then there was the wonderful re ceipt of £500,000 from Spain. At the same time he declared himself unable to provide for the £1,000,000 of Exchequer bonds falling due in November. In stead of a surplus, therefore, he showed, as far as fair yearly income is concerned, .a deficiency of considerably more than £2,000,000. Since that period the country have been informed that £7,000,000 will be required during the next three years for dockyard fortifications ; the probable expenditure for the China war bas assumed greatly increased proportions ; the san guine anticipation of elasticity to be imparted to the revenue by the French treaty has subsided ; there are signs in the money-market that the interest on Exchequer Bills may have to be raised ; and the political affairs of the Continent have become more threatening in their bearings on England than at any period in modern memory. Under these cir cumstances, to fancy that we can let the paper duty go without providing for the gap it will create would be to display a degree of recklessness perhaps unparalleled in English finance. Next February, even supposing this source of revenue to be allowed to remain undisturbed, the personage who may hold , the unhappy position of Chancellor of the Exche quer will have to face a positive' deficiency of £12,400,000. The income-tax expires in April ; for Mr. Gladstone announced that for 1861 he " wished to reserve to Parliament the fullest and freest discretion ;" while at the same time he pre pared the way for a renewed agitation against the present scale of the tea and sugar duties, by holding out a prospect that they would be lowered at " no distant date. There will also be the question as to the money required for fortifications, and the extra bills from the East will then be dropping in. It is to be hoped Parliament will not only appreciate the privilege reserved to them of dealing with this po sition untrammelled by a single act of foresight on the part of the present Chancellor, but that they will be able to see their way through it. The in quiry for the moment is simply whether their re sponsibilities arc to be increased by an extra mil lion or two. In 1858, when our fiscal prospects were comparatively free from complications, Mr. Milner Gibson deemed it indiscreet to venture be. vond a theoretical condemnation of the tax.. To posterity it will seem almost incredible that the sacrifice which was then admitted to be imprac ticable should have been made amid the anxieties of 1860, and in the face of the obvious fears of both Houses of Parliament. That the Coinniens would have thrown out the measure but for their desire to avoid causing embarrassment to Lord Palmer ston, in whom there is undiminished confidence, had been plainly evinced. That the Lords dread nothing more than that their party should at this moment be made responsible for a Ministerial crisis is also evident. The much needed million of revenue coveted on all sides must therefore apparently be sacrificed, like the Spanish King, who was roasted to death, because it would have outraged Court etiquette to remove him, ex cept by the hands of an absent official. The attempt I to raise a popular cry against the Lords for the objections th e y h a t e o ff ere d, an d which, after all, are but an cebo of thoie upon which the Lower House, so far as the intrinsic merits of the question were concerned, would have been glad to have acted, plainly calls for reprobation. It - is fair enough to discuss the expediency .of ;their. mode of. proceeding ; but to represent it as an intolerable instance of faction, or. au effort to over-ride the popular will, is mere bombast. Should the finances. otthe-country be found next year in the position • that seems threatened, the damage to the Liberal party from Mr. Gladstone having been allowed to • prodeed without check will be far more disastrous than any that'could now be inflicted upon it by an adverse vote that would simply enforce caution. Even on the qizestioni) of precedent, too, there is much to be said. The furor against the Lords for having manifested a disposition to stretch their constitutional privileges may be considered very vvliolcsonie ; but would it not be equally fatal to establish the rule, not only that loans may be raised in .order to enable revenue to be surrendered, but that the step may be pursued so as to necessitate a loan and leave a deficiency at the same moment ? The neglect of any provision for the payment of the Exchequer Bonds falling due in November must be met by their renewal ; or, in other words, by a fresh loan. So that actually.we.are to bor row money to compensate for the sacrifice of the paper duty this year, and to leave for the next year a still larger deficiency to be supplied by fresh borrowings, or -by any other means which the House of Commons, in -their " fullest and freest discretion," may have the wit to devise. A con tinuation of the income tax at 10d. may fall far short of. our needs. Presentealculations would indicate at least. an additional 3d. Mr. Glad- . stone prepared to propose that course ? If not, is it moral—it might almost be asked is it constitu tional—to leave. the exigency to his successor ? Manchester Guardian. TEE REFORM BILL-WORKING CLAk'S D STRATION. Last night a public meeting was held in St. Martin's Hall, for the purpose of protesting against the recent Parliamentary insults to the unrepre sented, and to support the Reform Bill as an instal ment of the people's rights—Mr. Richard Moore presided. - - The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, explained that it was deemed necessary the working men should meet and enter their solemn protest against the insults which had been passed upon the unrepresented portion of the work ing classes in the course of the long And protracted discussions on the Reform Bill which had been in troduced by Lord John Russell, and which, it was believed, would settle the question of. Reform for some years to-come. It was much to be regretted that among those who had uttered these unfounded charges against the working classes was to be found . Sir Bulwer Lytton, to whose abilities they all owed so much. Mr. Black; too, of Edinburgh, seemed to be labouring under a perfect nightmare on the sub ject of extending the franchise to a certain number of the working classes, and Mr. Sidney Smith, he had been credibly informed, was at present giving evidence before the select committee of the Lords against the propriety of extending the suffrage to the working classes. (Hear, hear.) Now such was the feeling amongst the working classes that he believed if Mr. Gladstone should by any chance be thrown out of the University of Oxford, the work ing men would be but too happy to have an oppor tunity of returning Mr. Gladstone to Parliament. (Loud. cheers.) He also knew that the constituency of the Attorney-General were proud of having him as their representative—(cheers)—and their best thanks were due to Mr. Denman and to Lord J. Russell for their • speeches in the debate on the Reform Bill. The bill of Lord Derby's Government was a mere delusion, and Lord I. Russell had nobly redeemed his pledge of offering a £6 franchise, though in other respects he (the chairman) thought the bill fell short. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he said he should be happy to hear any gentleman express his opinion oh the business of the meeting. M. J. KENNY then rose to move the first resolu tion, which was as follows :—" That this meeting indignantly protests against those insults to the unenfranchised working men of England which have recently, in coarse and vulgar language, been repeatedly uttered in the Leoislature, and which 'represenVrtitorn as destitute of r knowledge, honesty, and patriotism, and therefore disqualified from be coming the citizens of a free country." While he repudiated the unfair and unfounded language which had been used against the working classes, he at the same time would as strongly object to abusive and unfounded language being used against members of the aristocracy, and it - was upon that ground, however radical he might be in his opi nions, that he could not join in the course which was so frequently pursued by Mr. Feargus O'Con nor. (Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Kenny then quoted remarks which had been made by the limes, its - suiting to the honesty and the intelligence of the working classes, and remarks which he believed the writer in the Times knew to be untrue and unfounded at the time he penned them. (Hear.) He (Mr. Kenny) would be unwilling to give to the working classes the power of swamping the other classes bf the country, as he would hesitate to give any particular class such a power. (Hear, hear.) He then referred to the opinions which had been expressed by several of the speakers in the course of the debate, and proceeded to cite instances, which, he submitted, amply proved the intelligence of the working classes, and concluded by moving the adoption of the resolution. (Cheers.) Mr. B. LUCRAFT seconded the resolution, and said he had no hesitation in characterising that man as a scoundrel who would dare to call the working classes, as some of the speakers on the Reform Bill had done, the scum of the population. (Loud cheers.) The possession' of a vote he contended to be a right, and as to bribery, why, let the Parliament make such an offence a felony. (Hear, hear.) He was amazed at the House of Commons cheering such a speech as that which was made by Sir Bulwer Lytton, in which he so libelled the working classes of this country. (Loud cheers.) The time would come when those who laboured would be more honoured than those who did not labour. (Cheers.) He wanted the meeting to understand that if the peo ple now remained lukewarm they never would have any reform. (Hear, hear.) He believed if they got Lord John Russell's bill the working classes would be able to show their intelligence, and to prove that they were real conservatives of order. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. (Cheers.) Mr. HOLYOAKE spoke in support of the resolu tion. Whatever apathy there might be among the people with reference to the Reform Bill, there should be no apathy exhibited as regarded their own reputation. (Hear, hear.) He believed that the £6 householders of 1860 were as intelligent and re spectable as the £lO householders of 1831. (Hear, hear.) He was glad that the present meeting had been called, not only to defend their own reputa tion, but to support their friends in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) He, therefore, cordially sup ported the resolution. Mr. MALLESON also spoke in support of the reso lution, and contended that if the working classes had come forward, as they ought to have done years ago, they would now have received a much more extensive measure of Reform. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then unanimously agreed to. Mr. HENRETTE moved the second resolution, which was as follows :—" That while advocating Parliamentary representation on the basis of man hood suffrage and the ballot, this meeting resolves for the present, to accept and support, as an instal ment, the bill introduced by Lord John Russell, the provisions of which, in connection with a lodger qualification and the abolition of the rate-paying clauses, will confer the franchise on a considerable portion of the working population." He believed, ho said, that the success of the bill in its future stages depended a good deal upon such meetings as the present. lle admitted that the present mea sure was an insignificant one, and far below i what. they had a right to expect; but he was of ()p -nion that the working classes should accept it as an instalment. (Hear, hear.) -It had been assertt'd , in the House of Commons that the people did not ' want this measure ; but he contended that there• could not be a grosser misrepresentation. (H ear, hear.) He believed that if this measure should be refused, a much more extensive measure of reform would be demanded, and which Parliament would find itself unable to refuse. (Loud cheers.) lie was of opinion that the present hill would effect a much more important and extensive change in the representation in the counties and boroughs than many supposed. He therefore trusted that they would approve of this resolution. Mr. W. WILES seconded the resolution, and in doing so, spoke at great length in its support. The people of London, he contended, should meat and petition and organise as they were doing in the north. (Cheers.) He rejoiced at,the hostile spirit which had been manifested in the House of Lords, for he felt certain it would . rouse a feeling through- The country, though lately so excited by the elections of the 22d April, has now recovered its itual quiet. Nothing indicates to the passing traveller the recent agitation, and everything looks quite as were it not that flags of the French colours adorn all the towns and villages along the road, and for the presence of French soldiers re turning by easy marches from Italy. These brave fellows are feted to the utmost, and are absolutely quite at home. Everybody is anxious to give them quarters, and to wash the dust from their throats with a draught of the best wine in the cellar. The sole fear of the Savoyard populations was to see their country parcelled out for the benefit of Switzerland. When people have for ten cen turies formed together a small but energetic and respected nationality, they do not separate without reluctance, especially in the moment of success.. It was, therefore, with an explosion of joy indescrib able that they learnt the Emperor had flatly re• fused to give way to the unjustifiahlekretensions:of Switzerland. " Sir," I was told by men of most peaceable appearance, "we should have received with pike and musket any man who_had eome into our mountains to parcel out our Savoy. We were determined on sticking together." And this was but the exact truth. Notwithstanding the tranquillity that has never ceased to prevail, and the good feeling of the whole country, the existing state of uncertainty begins to press heavily. I find in the Gazette de &wow the text of an address, transmitted through an offi cial channel, by the Provincial Council of Chain hery, to the French and Swiss Governments, set ting forth the serious inconveniences that result to Savoy from the delay in its definitive annexation to France. The document states " The undersigned will not contest that in theory the cession ought not to take effect till after the vote of the Parliament ; they will not even appeal to the principles that served for basis in the annexa tion of the Romagnas ; but it may be permitted them to say that after the unanimous vote of the country, called for by the Xing in execution of a treaty signed by him, with the consent of the Chambers, any delay in carrying out that treaty is a great evil for Savoy. Traders cannot supply themselves with articles of the first necessity. No man can form any plans at a juncture when one system of administration is going owl-, and its successor has not come in. Administration scarcely exists. The Government is without moral power; and it willnot be one of the least glories of Savoy to have passed through such a crisis without troubles." The Tarentaise province, which I visited yester day, and the Maurienne, whence I am writing to you, are remarkable on various accounts. They will gain by the annexation more, perhaps, than all the rest of Savoy. The Tarentaise is the Savoy of the old Romans (Darentasia). It includes the upper valley of the Isere, which communicates with Italy by the pass of the Little St. Bernard. Ccesar crossed it with hislegions, and through it Hannibal entered Italy. The Maurienne is the cradle of the House of Savoy. ,Humbert the White•handed, the founder of the dynasty, was Count of Maurienne. It is a narrow and bleak valley, deriving an existence from the transit of goods and travellers between Italy and France, by the Mont Cenis route. It is Maurienne, just below Modane, that the tunneling of Mont Cenis is going forward, which I have just returned from visiiing. The other end of the tunnel opens into Piedmont, in the valley of Bardonneche, and the work is going on from that end also. It is really a colossal enterprise worthy to be ranked with any of the grand achievements of the Romans. This, and the canal through the Isthmus of Suez, will form the peace-triumph of our age, It will be rather more than eight miles long, without a single air shaft. The work has been three years in progress • but the war and the *financial embarrassments, of the Sardinian Government, which finds the funds, has made matters proceed somewhat :lowly. The Victor Ern►Lanuel Railway Co►npany is car rying on this formidable work, with the aid of a subvention of about £BOO,OOO sterling voted by the Sardinirn Parliament. On ceding Savoy, the Pied montese Government reserved the ownership of the tunnel, with the right of proceeding with it apart from French intervention. This is a misfortune ; for with French activity and resources the work would probably be completed in a year, whilst at its present rate it will take possibly feur or five. And yet nothing could be more important than its completion in every point of view, as well for Italy as for France. The tunnel once finished, the rail might convey a hundred thousand men in one day from Lyons to Turin and Milan. Surprise from. Austria would be then impossible. The merchan dise of the two countries would be exchanged with wonderful celerity and economy. And lastly a visit to Italy, new a labour, especially in bad weather, Would be'only an excursion, in which the traveller might go from Paris to Turin, Milan, Genoa, Bc loga, and Florence, almost without changing his carriage. , _ _ Let us, however, return from the subject of rail ways to the cession of Savoy. An important point was that of the new frontier. .The Sardinian Government proposed the impreg nable fort of Lesseillon, above Modane, which would have left within the Italian territory the Savoyard districts of Vernay, Sollieres, Thermig non, and Lans-le-Bourg, which warmly demanded to be made French. Their demand has been ac ceded to. The fort of Lesseillon will be razed, and the French territory will be extended to beyond Lans-le-Bourg, at the beginning of the ascent of Mont Cenis. But Piedmont will retain the defiles and crest of the mountain, so that she' will have complete possession of the key of her own door: This puts an end to all the outry which pretended that France might henceforwards sally into Italy whenever it pleased her. With reference to the compensation the French Government is to pay the Italian kingdom, as the proportional part to be borne by Savoy in the public debt. Everything taken into account, France takes on herself, for Savoy and Nice, 150,000,000 f., which are to be paid to Piedmont without unloosing the purse-strings, by the following combination : By the 3d article of the treaty of Zurich, the Cabinet of Turin was bound to pay to that of Paris, in Five per Cent. Sardinian Stock, an amount of 100,000,000 f., as an equivalent for 40,000,000 florins, which France was to hand over to Austria on Piedmontese account, as the quota of Lombardy in the Austrian debt. By Art. 4, the Turin Cabinet bound itself to pay to the French Government a further 60,000,000 f. in the same stock, in reimbursement of the expenses and ad vances incurred by France during the last war. These 160,000,000 f. in Sardinian Stock were ac tually handed over to the French treasury, which still holds them, but will now - payoff t he Sardi nian Government with its own money, by transferring 150,000,000 f. of the stock as the quota due t o th e Public Debt from Savoy and Nice. a l f d a e ol o a r' n tlnhett.hl harbour,Go h vlh , :t a hr n e. d hN,Vreahsaerflu Princes ceedd the t VALUABLE CARGO.—The Hudson's Bay Com- Trevitt, which cleared London, encountered a severe from Victoria on t he e oo s v I nF R 3 ss t ue o h acn y i si g i ie 03'un b ' ad n s aky b t t h e bark Straits n, P odrrtin again Royal has on board a cargo of furs and golddust belongino to the Hudson's Bay C ompany valued at £250,080 sterlingk or 1,20,000 dole., said to be ono of the most valuable car goes ever on b and any one vessel in Puget Sound.—./In% Townsend Register, March 21. TILE MAID OF ALL WORK.—Few of our reader may have a precise idea of the actual number of Maids-of all-W.rk in our country ; but all agree that it must be very large. There are more classes of householders who employ one domestic servant than of those who have even two; and when we look above the ordinary kitchen pair—the cook and housemaid—we find the number of employers diminishing rapidly. The fact- I: that, at the date of the last census, there were ten times as many maids of-all work as there were housemaids; nearly nine times as many as there were cooks, and twenty times as many as there were nursemaids—Miss H. MARTINEAU in Once-a- Week.
