For notices of this startl ng work see the "Saturday Re view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery • ' the " Weekly Dispatch" of April ii, " The Quacks and their Crimes •" " The Sun" of April 12, "'Detector's' Broad s id e on Quac ks: and Quackery." GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of "Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau .dnient and noisome, who obtain money by.false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion. from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertisin , .: columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. " Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl. t above referred to, which- is entitled "Revelations of Quacks ani Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, Ring William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in "Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark espee'ally that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishei. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory. by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01 course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large. " Who are tne Quacks that 'Punch' means ?" Consider what it is to he able to answer tids question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other. go and provide yourself with " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

The necessity for an Institution tor these little ones is evi dent from the police statissics ' which show that i n L ondon alone. in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom Were convicted cad punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State. The mode of admission to the House is twofold, Ist. By election of rhe subscribers. Thys thus admitted are received free, boarde,l, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years o , age. With the view to 8-• cure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers.

"Since the date of our last report (August, 1861) we have through a committee of our number, consisting of Mr. Lawes and Professor Way, continued at Rugby the ex periments which were undertaken in 1861 on the applica tion of sewage to land. The report of that committee, which we append, contains the result for the three years 1862-4. " Your Lordships will observe that these experiments have not been confined to the application of sewage in dif ferent quantities to land, but have extended to the con sumption by cattle of the produce so obtained, and to the production of meat and milk, and have been accompanied by a careful record of the quantities and market value of the products, and by numerous analyses of the sewage before and after irrigation, as also of the grass and of the milk. "It appears to us that these experiments have solved many of the difficulties which have hitherto attached to the question of the agricultural application of sewage, and that they leave no reasonabla doubt of the practicability and ad vantage of so employing the sewage of towns. " We haVe also continued to give our best attention to all kindred experiments and inquiries which have been going on elsewhere. "As the results of our labours, extending over eight years, we have confidence in submitting to your lordships the following conclusions:— " 1. The right way to dispose of town sewage is to apply it continuously to land, and it is only by such application that the pollution of rivers can be avoided. "2. The financial results of a continuous application of sewage to land differ under different local circumstances ; first, because in some places irrigation can be effected by gravity, while in other places more or less pumping must be employed ; secondly, because heavy soils (which in given localities may alone be available for the purpose) are less fit than light soils for continuous irrigation by sewage. "3. Where local circumstances are favourable and undue expenditure is avoided, towns may derive profit, more or less considerable, from applying their sewage in agriculture. Under opposite circumstances, there may not be a balance of profit ; but even in such cases a rate in aid, required to cover any loss, need not to be of large amount. " Finally, on the basis of the above conclusions, we fur ther beg leave to express to your lordships that, in our judgment, the following two principles are established for legislative application :—First, that wherever rivers are polluted by a discharge of town sewage into them the towns may reasonably be required to desist from causing that pub lic nuisance. Second, that where town populations are in jured or endangered in health by a retention of cesspool matter among them the towns may reasonably be required to provide a system of sewers for its removal. " And should the law as it stands be found insufficient to enable towns to take land for sewage application, it would in our opinion, be expedient that the Legislature should give them powers for that purpose.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the International Hotel, London-bridge, Mr. L. Schuster in the chair. The Secretary having read the notice convening the meeting to consider four bills in compliance with the Stand ing Orders of Parliament, The CHAIRMAN said the first he_ had to submit was a bill to enable the company to make new railways from St. Leonard's to their Ouse Valley and Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne lines, and deviations in those lines. The object of the bill was to enable the company to complete the scheme of last session, a part of which was rejected in con sequence of the opposition .of the landowners; but that portion of the scheme having been modified to meet the views of the landowners it was passed by the committee this session without opposition. In reply to questions he stated that the capital was £300,000, and the length of line 13 miles. The scheme referred to would form, in con tinuation of the intended Surrey and Sussex line, which was to start from a point one mile south of Croydon and terminate on the company's Tunbridge and Hastings lines, a direct line from London to St. Leonards and Hastings. Mr. C. CHILD said he expected good results from that project, and if the Surrey and Sussex line was authorised by Parliament it would become a portion of the Brighton system, and give them nearly the shortest route from Lon don to Hastings. A formalresolution approving the bill was earriodunani mously. The CHAIRMAN said the next he had to submit was an Additional Powers Bill, to enable the company to make short junction railways to connect their existing and autho rised railways in the county of Surrey and to acquire ad ditional lands. It would enable them to improve their lino at various places, particularly near New Cross, Croydon, and Sydenham, and to bring those , important stations into direct communication with their South London Railway. The junction lines would be only a few hundred yards each in length, and the whole of them would not be more than half a mile in length. Ho concluded by moving a formal resolution approving the bill. Mr. J. SCOTT seconded the motion, and it was adopted. ' The CHAIRMAN said that No. 3 was not ready. The last bill he had to submit on that occasion was a bill to em power the West Sussex Junction Railway Company to make a deviation from the authorised line of their railway and for other purposes. The only matter in the bill that affected the interests of the Brighton Company was power to make arrangements between them and the West Sussex Com pany for working the line when completed. A formal resolution, approving the bill so far as the Brighton Company is concerned, was carried unanimously, and the meeting was adjourned to that day three weeks. CARLISLE AND SILLOTII BAY. The half -yearly meeting of this company was held at Carlisle on Monday, Mr. P. J. Dixon in the chair. The report stated that after payment of interest on the preference stock in November last the balance to the debit of revenue amounted to £7O. This had been covered by the increased amount of contingent rent, and now, after pay ment of interest on loans and prefererco stock there would remain a balance of £33. The report having been adopted, Mr. W. JACKSON moved that a dividend be declared at the rate of 5 per cent. on the preference stock. Captain DIXON seconded the motion. lie thought that by another half-year they might hope for a small dividend. The shipping at the port of Silloth was increasing consi derably, and there had lately been there the largest vessel ever seen in the Solway. No port except Silloth between Liverpool and the Clyde could have taken her in. If the North British Company should have 2i per cont. next half-year, there would be a dividend of per cent. for the original shareholders of the Silloth Company. The motion was agreed to, and the proceedings termi nated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. MvernpLogearpov. IGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY (THE LATE ALBERT SMITH'S ROOM).

A special meeting was held recently at Watchet, at which a working agreement with the Ebbw Vale Company (Limited) was confirmed, and the directors were authorized to affix to it the seal of the company. The agreement was for the term of 55; years from the 24th of June, 1864, during which the Ebbw Vale Company covenanted to pay interest to the shareholders and mortgagees at the follow ing rates—viz.. on the Class A shares (432,500) at £6 per cent. per annum, and on the Class 13 shares and the loan capital (not exceeding together £72,500) at £5 per cent. per annum. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE The total expenses of this and the South Yorkshire companies' railways, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from January 1 to April 9, 1865, amounted to £111,303, as against £109,210 for the corresponding period of 1864. The proportion of the South Junction receipts accruing to this company from January 1 to April 9 amounted to £9,234, as against £9,272 for the corresponding period of 1864, and the expenses to £5,430, as against £4,672. PERNAMBUCO. The report of the directors states that the extension of the company's guarantee having been conceded by the Imperial Government, and the concession having passed the Chamber of Deputies by a largo majority, it only awaited confirma tion by the Senate. The directors addressed in the month of February last a memorial to the Emperor of Brazil, praying that the subject might be brought un d er th e no tice of the Senate at the earliest possible moment after its assembling. The relations of the company with the impe rial Government being of the most friendly description, the directors entertain a sanguine hope that the long tried patience of the shareholders would be rewarded by an early settlement of the question. Until the decision of the Senate was given, the directors were powerless with regard to fixing the time of payment of the deferred dividend war rants. Nothing had occurred in the least degree toweaken the conviction entertained by the directors of that decision being sooner or later in the afftrmative. The decision once obtained, the difficulties of the company would be at an end, for in every other respect its positionand prospects were as encouraging as could be desired. The long and expensive suit with the late contractor, Mr. Furness, was concluded. Upwards of five years had been spent in taking the evidence required for the decision of the preliminary question, whether the company were in point of law justi fied in taking the works out of the contractor's hands. With regard to the revenue account it was very satisfac tory. Although working at a greatly reduced tariff, which had been in operation upwards of 12 months, with the heavy drawback of having had, during that period, to re place the greater part of the sleepers upon the second, third, and fourth sections of the line, the entire cost of which had been charged to re venue, there was shown at the end, of the year, over and above all expenses, both in Eng land and Brazil, a clear surplus revenue, leaving therefore the net guaranteed interest received from the Imperial Government upon the present share capital available for division. After paying interest to the debenture holders for the half-year ending the 31st of December last it would allow of a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum. The construction of the Government roads as feeders to the line were under consideration for the still further develop ment of the traffic. In fact, as soon as those and the ex tension into Recife could be accomplished, the directors were confidently assured that there would be no difficulty in doubling its present amount, of which the Imperial Go vernment would reap the benefit. Richard Oobden's Laid Letter• (From the Manchester Examiner) It has already been stated that the last letter which Mr. Cobden wrote was addressed to Mr. T. B. Potter, who on Saturday last was triumphantly elected to represent the borough of Rochdale in Parliament. Mr. Potter had asked Mr. Cobden's opinion on Mr. Mill's letter, and the reply to that communication was handed to Mr. Potter two days after Mr. Cobden's death. Through the kindness of Mr. Potter we are enabled to give our readers a copy of this correspondence, which will ever possess a peculiar interest, as being associated with the last hours of Mr. Cobden : JOILI S. MILL TO THOMAS B. POTTER. " Blackheath Park, April 7, 1865. " Dear Sir,—Though I have good reason for sympathis ing in your personal disinclination to go into Parliament, having the same feeling myself, I cannot help being very glad, on public grounds, that there is prospect of your being elected for Rochdale. And if this takes place, in spite of your professing opinions in advance of the general state of opinion among Reformers, there will be the more reason for satisfaction. " I have no objection whatever to the publication of my letter. Its association with the last thing Mr. Cobden ever wrote will give it a melancholy interest.—l am, deai sir, very truly yours, (Signed) " J. S. MILL." " JOHN S. MILL TO THOMAS B. POTTER. " Blackheath Park, March 16, 1865. " Dear Sir,—Nothing can, in my estimation, be more desirable than that you should take an active part in the projected Reform Conference (the London Conference). It is of vast importance that any great public cause should be taken up by men who are not (in the phraseology of the great English Revolution) sell-seekers ; and you, having been aNhe head of a valuable popular organisation, will very probably be urged to render a similar office to the new one which it is proposed to form. Of course, the desirableness of your doing so depends on the goodness of the object which the organisation is meant to promote, and on this no one can judge for you but yourself. For my own part, I could not presume to advise on what it would be right for you to do, since I do not sufficiently know your opinions on the particular points on which Radical Reformers differ. I can only respond to your very flatter ing confidence by saying what I should think it right to do myself in this or any similar case. "I have long since determined that, for myself, I will never join in any movement for what is called manhood suffrage. Adult suffrage is what I contend for ; and when one goes in, not for an object immediately attainable, but for a principle, we ought to go the whole length of it. No reason either of right or expediency can bo found to jus tify giving the suffrage to men, exclusively of women, and, the word manhood suffrage having been substituted for the good old phrase universal suffrage, for the express purpose of showing that women aro not included, to adopt it is to give a direct assent to their exclusion. "On the other hand, I consider an educational qualifica tion to the extent of reading and writing (I would even add ciphering) indispensable. It is to be hoped that before long this restriction will no longer exclude anybody, and I could have no adults excluded on any other ground. But adult suffrage is not complete unless minorities have their fair share of representation. If 50,000 electors have to elect five members, it is not fair and equal representation that 30,000 of them should be able, by outvoting the others, to elect all five. The 30,000 are only entitled to three mem bers, and the remaining 20,000 to two. This is not, as is sometimes pretended, a proposal made for the purpose of defeating democracy. On the contrary, it is positively re quired by democratic principles. Democracy is not the ex clusive rule of the greater number and the virtual disfran chisement of the rest, but the equal representation of all; majorities returning a majority, and minorities a minority. Mr. Hare's admirable plan is the best that has been proposed for securing the equal repre sentation of minorities, and would incidentally attain many other important objects. It is, as I hear, making some way among the intelligent leaders of the working classes at Manchester. I should not, however, make that particular plan a sine qua non, but the acknowledgment of the prin ciple that minorities ought to be represented in proportion to their numbers, seems to me indispensable to show that the working classes are willing to allow the same justice to others which they claim for themselves. In the present state of the constituencies the working classes would them selves benefit by it. And it is hardly possible to exagge rate the moral effect which would be produced in favour of them and their cause, by such a proof that they do not aim at merely substituting one class ascendancy for another, but demand for every class a hearing, and such influence as it is entitled to. "Neither would I support equal electoral districts, because I do not think that any one class; even though the most numerous, should be able to return a decided majority of the whole Legislature. But I would support any readjust ment of the constituencies that would enable the working classes to command half the votes in Parliament. The most important questions in practical politics are coming to be those in which the working classes as a body are ar rayed on one side and the employers as a body on the other —as in all questions of wages, hours of labour, and so on. If those whose partialities are on the side of the operatives had half the representation, and those who lean to the'side of the employers had the other half, the side which was in the right would be almost sure to prevail by the aid of an enlightened and disinterested minority of the other. But there would not be the same assurance of this if either the working classes or a combination of all other classes could command a decided majority in Parliament. " Lastly, I could not support the ballot. " It is extremely probable that those opinions may pre vent me from being able to co-operate with any or ganised movement for reform that we have any chance of seeing at present if, as is not unlikely, your opinions are different, you have not the same reason for abstain ing. But it would, I think, be a good thing if the movers could be induced to leave some of these points, and particularly the ballot, in the position of open ques tions. By doing so they wouid enable many earnest re formers to join them who would never consent to support the ballot, but who would not refuse to connect themselves with those who do. "I thank you very sincerely for your kind invitation, but I do not feel called on to attend the conference. I think that I can probably do more good as an isolated thinker, forming and expressing my opinions independently, than by associating myself with any collective movement, which, in my case, would almost always imply putting some of my opinions in abeyance. Your position is diffe rent, and you seem to me to be, in a manner, called (if you will allow me the expression) to take part in such move ments, and endeavour to direct them to right objects. "I have stated my opinions very imperfectly, but they aro all expressed as well as I am able to express them in my volume on representative government.—l am, dear sir very sincerely and respectfully yours, (Signed) "3. S. MILL." "RICHARD CODDEN TO THOMAS B. POTTER. "London, 23, Suffolk-street, Pall Mall, March 22, 1865. "My dear Potter,—l return Mill's letter. Everything from him is entitled to respectful consideration. But I con fess, after the best attention to the proposed representation of minorities which I can give it, I am so stupid as to fail to see its merits. He speaks of 50,000 electors having to elect five members, and that 30,000 may elect them all, and to obviate this he would give the 20,000 minority two votes. But I would give only one vote to each elector, and one representative to each constituency. Instead of the 50,000 returning five in a lump, I would have five con stituencies of 10,000, each returning one member. Thus, if the metropolis, for example, were entitled, with a fair distribution of electoral power, to forty votes, I would divide it into forty districts, or wards, each to return one member ; and in this way every class and every variety of opinion would have a chance of a fair repre sentation. Belgravia, Marylebone, St. Ames, St. Giles, Whitecliapel, spitalfields, &c., would each and. all have Confederate Prospects. A writer in a contemporary says :—The Euro pean eye, gazing through the clouds raised by Federal claqueurs,will discover those unreal shadows which Federal voices now proclaim to be veritable triumphs. That they are shadows time will prove. Newspaper correspondents for the sensation journals of New York have so often destroyed or captured General Lee's army on paper, that he must certainly be allowed a few days' grace for the purpose of re appearing erect and defiant. At the risk of being considered both obstinate and ill-informed I shall dissent from their opinion, and most probably from the great mass of Europeans who now, doubtless, consider the war at an end, and that it requires only the formality of apportioning the conquered pro vinces to insure the restoration of the " glorious Union." Take my opinion for what it is worth, and say in December if I have not truly understood " the coming events which cast their shadows before them." Richmond was not the original capital. Inc Government was moved there 'shortly after the secession of Virginia in June, 1861, for the pur pose of 'giving moral aid to the Virginians, by an assurance from the more Southern, States that her soil should be defended to the last extremity com patible with the general good. How nobly that implied pledge has been redeemed, the deeds of the past four years testify in letters of gold, which future generations will read with admiration. The Virginians themselves have done wonders—they have filled the ranks with gentlemen of education and refinement, who have borne every privation without a word of complaint, and in so many thou sands of instances as noble martyrs have laid down their lives upon the altar of their country. The grand old State has been scourged with fire and sword, its fertile fields have been drenched with the blood of her best, bravest, and purest sons ; yet not a murmur has the proud old commonwealth uttered in the hour of the greatest agony. Nor is her ardour or patriotism in the slightest degree diminished. Richmond was the pride of all Virginians, and keen indeed has - been their sorrow to witness its fall into the hands, of the modern Huns. But the only re sult will be a still more stern defiance, a still more bitter resolution to conquer independence. The shades of Jackson, Stewart, and a host of fellow martyrs beckon them onward in the path of honour and of manhood. After the heroism of years it is idle to suppose that a race could be so recreant to them ' selves, to their country, to their children, as to suc cumb so long as a band of guerillas could strike a blow. Past history disproves it, for the future is but a repe tition of the past. Before the:war, Richmond was a city of 40,000 inhabitants. Accessible as it was by water, it has been a source of wonder that its eva cuation was not long since compelled. Only distant about 100 miles from the enemy's capital, their generals from the beginning deemed its acquisition easy, and the prize thus grasped was to bring also the termination of the war. This delusion was similar to that which prompted the North to begin the war in the expectation of its ending in 90 days. The evacuation of Richmond has been a real military necessity for twelve mouths. It was impossible to supply the army from a country desolated as Vir ginia is. Three-fourths of the provisions for the soldiers, and corn for the horses, besides ammunition and other munitions of war, were transported from Georgia and Alabama, a distance of 1,000 miles, over a line of railway defective and worn from long usage, upon which the regulated :speed was 8 miles per hour. Probably the only reason for holding Richmond was the hope that tardy justice would be done by recognition in Europe. When that fallacy was dispelled there was no longer a neces sity for its retention, as the moral effect of its evacuation could produce no damage. When the evacuation of the Atlantic seaports was resolved upon, Richmond was no longer to be held. I know of one foreign despatch, which, months ago, said that its evacuation would not be delayed longer than the Ist of June. It was of consider able importance to get everything away which could be useful, and this was probably being rapidly ac complished. But the sudden movement of Grant, with an overwhelming force, which I have no doubt was strengthened by nearly all of Sherman's army, compelled General Lee to gradually fall back after a series of bloody battles, and leave Richmond to its fate. Arsenals, storehouses, and the great mass of public property and tobacco have been fired. True to their instincts the Yankees endeavoured to save the plunder by extinguishing the flames which were destroying so many millions of dearly-loved dollars. General Lee's loss has certainly been heavy, doubt less 10,000 men, but you will find that there has been no route, no crushing disaster, and that the great body of his troops have retreated in good order. He will have under his command, including Johnston's army, fully 150,000 men between Raleigh and Lynchburg. Whether his line of defence will still be in Virginia or in some other State, will depend entirely upon the ability to supply his armies. From the fact that very valuable lead mines in the Virginia mountains furnish a large supply, General Lee will most probably defend that line. The retention and defence of Mobile, whilst the other ports were given up, indi cated to observing minds the intention to locate the Government either in Montgomery, Ala bama—where it was first organised —or somewhere in Georgia. The defence of Mobile would prevent the Yankees from penetrating the interior by means of the Tombigbee or Alabama Rivers. Possession of Richmond does not give the Federals more than 2,000 square'miles of additional territory, and the war assumes another phase. Their armies will be compelled to commence new operations, and to penetrate into the heart of the country hundreds of miles to seek out and crush there the still defiant rebellion. Their troubles have only commenced, for whilst the Confederates now give up an exhausted territory, which the Federals can only hold so long as they maintain therein a preponderating military organisation, the Southern armies will be concen trated in a rich and productive country, with ample supplies, and will fight upon an inner circle, Yankeescon nected by many lines of rail, w hilst the facilities will meet with increased diffi culties for every mile which they advance. They have no such haras t s he th C e o ir nf r ed ea e r - . of communication, . will the longer their ains, and, being compelled to trans port their supplies in waggon trains , base a tes line b o e ff c o mtheesi their the h s e u p m p o l e e If Generals Lee a nd Johnston do not wish to fi ght s eas aa ll id y pitched battles, a constant series of skirmishes and retreats will prolong the campaign to an indefinite length, without any decided result. Marching through a country does not conquer it. The Yankee armies may leave a trace of desolation like the track of a hurricane when it passes through a forest. But in other respects there can be no sign of subduing the country, and when the army marches on all traces of its subjugating power are moved, as the waters of the ocean close up in the wake of any steamer which cleaves its way amidst them. The capture of the largest southern city, New Orleans, with 175,000 population, gave the Yankees partial control of the Mississippi, but it required fifteen months- to capture Vicksburg, which would have been no disaster if General Joe Johnston's orders had been obeyed to evacuate it. And yet, what benefits did they obtain ? The Mississippi River is still unsafe even for their best steamers are constantly destroyed in he t i titein& to navigate it. Their garrisons hold four or five points upon the river, and cannot venture into the country ten miles except in heavy force. Every attempt to penetrate east or west has been a disaster, and their only profit has been the systematic pillage of the unfortunates who resided within their line of march. The disastrous defeat of Banks up Red River compelled the evacuation of all the trans- Mississippi Department, a territory of 400,000 square miles, and more than eight times the area of England. The possession of a fleet has enabled them to hold in check our army of nearly 100,000 men west of the river so long as General Lee's and General Johnston's armies were operating at such an immense distance to the east, nearly 2,000 miles. But now, when the Government will be nearer, this force will be enabled to co-operate and to cross the river whenever required. The Confederacy is not dependent upon the arsenals and workshops of Rich mond for supplies. For instance, the greatest powder mill, p ro d uc i ng 1 0,0001 b. per day, is located at Aug us t a. The supplies of nitre are p rocure d from th ousands of artificial beds prepared three years ago i n every locality of the Confederacy. The greatest arsenal for field artillery is also at Augusta ; but there are others at Macon, Selma, and Mont gomery, east of the Mississippi, and vast workshops of every description were organised in Texas and Western Louisiana three years ago in contemplation of this very step of evacuating Richmond.

The Conflict at raenza, The correspondent of the Unita Italiana, writing frem Faenza on the 10th inst., gives the following account of the conflict which has taken place in that city between the people and the military force : " Yesterday, the 9th inst., about 400 young men, chiefly workmen, met together in a village about two miles distant from the town, and to render their party more jovial, brought with them a band con sisting of about 20 musicians. The day was passed in friendly festivity ; many speeches were made, ac cording as chance introduced the different topics ; and they drank the healths of Mazzini and Garibaldi, in whom the party had most confidence. Towards evening the young men proceeded to return to the town, with the national flag and the band of music at their head. On the road they met with two patrols of soldiers of the line commanded by carabi neers, who let them pass on without molestation. When they had nearly reached the Porta Montanara they suddenly came upon a troop of about 30 armed men, including carabineers, regular soldiers, and civil guards, stationed right before them. The band was then playing the hymn of Garibaldi, when, with out an instant's warning, the carabineers made an attack upon the young men who carried the flag. Others rushed on the musicians, summoning them to disperse, and fired their revolvers several times, wounding numbers more or less gravely. Then en sued the most indescribable confusion ; some fled, and others took refuge in the neighbouring houses; but the carabineers did not cease firing. Two of the people fell seriously wounded, and the public force made a number of arrests ; but as the 'civil guards did not seem to consider the prisoners suffi ciently numerous, they went about arresting and attacking every one that happened to pass that way, violating the privacy of every house where they thought any one might be sheltered. I cannot give just now the exact number of the wounded, but I can confidently state that there are many. Two carabineers also are wounded, one with a stone, the other with a pointed weapon. More than 50 per sons are arrested. The town is in the greatest sor- row." A correspondent of the Gazetta delle Romagne says : " The number of wounded is far greater than was at first supposed. Some of the citizens slightly hurt are being attended in their own houses, so that the precise number cannot be arrived at. The num ber of arrests at first made was perhaps 100, but very many were released immediately after having been questionqd by the authorities."

NAR ROW ESCAPE OF THREE PERSONS FROM DROWNING.—A terrible occurrence, which nearly resulted in the death by drowning of a child and two young men, took place at Douglas, Isle of Man, a few days ago. A little boy, a son of Mr. Candlish, of the Saddler's Inn, Douglas, was playing at the quayside, when he tumbled headlong into the harbour. A young man, ob serving the perilous position of the child, who had sunk but risen again, gallantly, although he could not swim a stroke, leaped into the harbour for the purpose of rescuing the drowning boy. He at once grasped the child, but owing to his inability to swim, he also sank, dragging the child down with him, and there seemed every probability that both would be drowned. At this juncture a young man named Ewbanks leaped into the water, with the laudable object of saving both the drowning creatures. The man and child, in their frenzy, seized Ewbanks when he ap proached them in such a manner as to prevent his swim ming. The result was that Ewbanks was utterly unable to save either of them, and there was now great danger that the three individuals would be sacrificed. A largo number of persons had congregated by this time, and the excitement among them was intense. At length Ewbanks managed to catch hold of a rope which was thrown to him, by means of which he kept himself and the others afloat until a boat picked them up. When rescued, both the young men were greatly exhausted, and the child was in sensible. The latter, - however, was placed under medical care; and quickly recovered.
