No. 1, Westminster-chambers, Victoria-street, Westmin ster, S.W. The object of this Company is to combine under one management the separate, but naturally co-operative, businesses of keepers of lodging and boarding-houses and public and private Hotels. This combination, by which the profits of each will be enhanced, is intended to be carried out at that recently established and most attractive watering-place, West Worthing. A provisional agreement has been entered into for the lease of .the two newly-erected mansions, which, being built in flats, are admirably adapted for the purpose, and the Hoene Hotel for a term of 99 years, and the purchase of the trade and furniture and stock of the hotel at a cost to this Company, including all preliminary expenses, of £40,000. In addition, the sum of £lO,OOO will be required for furniture for the mansions and additional stock and working capital. This amount may be raised unde r th e borrowing powers of the Company ; it will therefore only be necessary for present arrangements to call up 40 per cent, of the share capital. The Company has been constituted with the larger capi tal solely with the view of extending their operations, when the investment has proved to be as remunerative as it is now anticipated it will be. During the time the Hotel has been already in operation it has become evident that it is cupable of largely increasing its business by the addition of more bedroom accommodation, which may bo obtained at a small outlay. The splendid esplanades, pleasure-grounds, baths, and other places of public resort and amusement, which are in progress, coupled with the beauty of the surrounding country, the walks and drives in its vicinity, the salubrity of its climate, the ease with which it will be reached from London by a direst line of railway and train service, which it is the determination of the West Worthing Investment Company to secure, must bring the new watering-place into favour as soon as it has become generally known that good accommodation for visitors has been provided. A large class ofsea-side visitors will!gladly avail them selves of the comfort, economy, and liberal treatment which they may fairly expect at the hands of a public Company in such matters as the occupation of apartments and the victualling departments, in preference to that which they can look for under the existing system. Although the Hoene Hotel has been fully occupied since it was opened, no goodwill or promotion money will be paid for the formation of the Company. The enterprise, Which is of a bona fide character, is always in operation, and a return will be immediately realised by the shareholders. After careful consideration of detailed estimates, tho Directors thave no hesitation in recording their opinion, that the profits will prove sufficient to pay highly satisfac tory dividends. Prospectuses and forms of application fur Shares may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Broker, and no application will be received after the 28th inst. August, 1865.

Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years of age. With the view 1 o secure 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. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care ful y investigated by the Committee, and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take In the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify they,, for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, trom neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by theirnatural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10D, and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not h'•lp her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "Inn away," none of us shou'd be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I any brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that in London 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 and 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 idees of self-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State fhe Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea tures of a home, a sch , ol, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to scho 1 work—reading, and writing, and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in oljects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in lite, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white paper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c other, &c. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones (lean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. 2d. 11 — y payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of admission.

DIE Al , " 10,14 „z - , f_ 3 The following letter has been addressed to the k Editor of the Tines : Sir,—lf Admiral Rolls had sufficiently in his mind the complications and dissatisfaction that have arisen undsf the laws of racing and betting, even when codified and re vised by so eminent an authority as himself, he would be more charitable as regards the motives, if not more tole rant of the arguments, of those who do not agree with him upon the Claxton case. , He imputes unfairness to the writer of the articles trans ferred to Sour columns from the Globe in not quoting thO second part of Rule 2, regarding cases of " incorrect pedi gree or nomination." It might be a sufficient answer to the charge of suppressio veri to say that this part of the rule is not to be found in some, at least, of authoritative books of reference down to last autumn. But the fact is, that portion of the rule does not apply to the present instance, which is not one of merely " incorrect pedigree or nomination," where the stakes and bets may be separated. In the Claxton case no only such incidental error is involved ; it is the vital and radical question of a good and sufficient nomination, or no nomi nation at all. Admiral Rous, if criti c i s ed in the spirit he himself shows, might be accused of unfairness, for he omits the important p r o v i s i on th a t th e ru l e a ppli es on ly where " th e h orse i s no t o th erw i se di squa lifi e d b y t h e l aws of racing." Th e ma i n o bj ec t i s th at Cl axton was other wise disqualifi e d— on th e b es t poss ibl e groun d— name l y, that ho was struck out of the race. I abstain fromwhether going he w i into lawfully o the orimproperly que s t o question strucka s to who tolls the t ru th regarding the conditions of the sale of Claxton, which wou ld settle the main and, indeed, the point out of the race. I simply take the decision of the stewards and that of Lord Westmoreland and Mr. Payne, represent ing the committee of Tattersall's. Finding Admiral Rolls agreeing with both, I submit that he is in a difficulty from which he cannot extricate himself. Claxton was scratched, or he was not. In the former case, Admiral Rous will have to make an addition to the laws of betting in something like these words : " Bets made upon a horse after he is scratched are not thereby void if the horse be subsequently permitted to run through error or fraud." On the latter Supposition—namely, that Claxton Wan not scratched—the Admiral will have to amend the laws of racing, by providing that— "A horse rightly nominated, not struck out by proper authority, not otherwise disqualified, and coming in first, may, nevertheless, be deprived of the stakes if any person should erroneously or fraudulently inform the stewards that he was struck out by proper authority." I leave it to the Admiral to say if either of these rules would be likely to conduce to the honesty of the Turf. Admiral Rous says that people materially interested in racing should look to the Calendar and mind their business, and that those who do not cannot complain if they lose through their own negligence. I most thoroughly agree with him, and beg him to apply his dictum to the present case. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. The Cattle Disease versus Heat. (From the Newcastle Daily Journal.) It would be of very little appositeness to the question of the disease that is at present destroying the cattle of this country to enter, as some of our contemporaries are doing, into a descriptive catalogue of the diseas es t o w hi ch cattle are subject. Cattle undoubtedly partake of the curse en tailed upon all the world by the original transgression. The "ills that flesh is heir to" are not confined to huma nity; but the whole animate creation are subject to a nu merous train of ills. Cows, the description of animals to which the attention of the people of this country is at pre sent particularly directed; in respect to the disease that has befallen it, are subject to blood disorders, to fever, to func tional disturbance of he skin, and of other secreting or gans ;- to organic cutaneous diseases which are, apt to be come chronic ; to rheumatic affections ; and to a large number of inflammatory disordtrs. But,what is of more con tporweshentethtchoawn an fies e h num is su era b j t e i c o t n , i o s f s t o h m e e nu s m ug er g o e u s s_ out with such virulence that it is threatening to seriously sttilesoaciniunefonorfeeitnhaset removal of the special disease which has broken reduce the number of cattle in this country, and by that means to diminish, to an injurious extent, the food of the people. The suggestion that we have to make is that heat be tried, both as a means of prevention and of cure. The suggestion of heat as a therapeutic agent in cattle disease has already been made, though not in reference to the par ticular disease that has now broken out. It was made some time ago, however, and by a gentleman whose name has been greatly before the public in connection with the pre sent disorder. We allude to Professor Gamgee,- who, in his well known work ori Diiri Stock, be'the'following remarks on this subject of heat as applicable, by means of what is called the Turkish bath, to the cure of disease in cattle :—" In the long category of diseases," says Professor Gamgee, "we shall find one and all pertain to the kind likely to be much benefited by heat. But it is to ward off disease, and to preserve health, that among dairy-stock, particularly in large towns, the bath might prove of great service." Again, says the Professor, "As a therapeutic agent, the hot-air chamber holds an intermediate position, between evacuants and stimulants. It is undoubtedly a general tonic, because it fits important organs for the free and healthy exercise of their functions, and thus operates beneficially on the blood, and on nutrition, and hence in vigorates the body. That it is evacuant, no one can doubt that has witnessed the kind and quantity of cutaneous se cretions, whether in man or animals. Viewing the subject as a veterinary, 1 unhesitatingly say that we have in heat the most effective diaphoretic, the most active depurant, and the most efficient means of producing healthy reaction that we have yet had at our disposal. It is a great addition to our therapeutic means. We needed a satisfac tory means of acting on the skin of lower animals in febrile and other diseases, and here we have it." Not to multiply evidence, it is yet worth while to quote the opinion of an other writer on veterinary surgery, if only for the purpose of showing that the opinion of Professor Gamgee is not the only one in theprofession favourable to the employment of heat as a curative agent, and as a preventive of disease. The writer to whom we now refer, in speaking of heat applied in the same form as by Professor Gamgee, namely, by the so-called Turkish bath, remarks t—" The Turkish bath, not only as a medicinal agent, but also as a preven tive of disease, deserves consideration ; and one cannot help thinking that the hot-air chamber is almost as neces sary an adjunct to the extensive stork-keeper as to the veterinary surgeon, and for the simple reason that in it we have an agent which exerts more powerful influence than any derivative, ox-purge, or blister, with lowering vital power, for it carries off, or at any rate diminishes, the amount of any virus that may circulate in the blood, and by this means cleanses the system, and renders it better better able to throw off disease, and to resist the attacks of it." These are the opinions of men, both of whom are emi nent in their profession ; and the reader will have gathered from them that not only are these distinguished veterinary surgeons favourably impressed with the belief that heat as a therapeutic agent can be applied with benefit to the lower animals, but that the belief has been put into prac tice. The application of heat has, in fact, been tried, and tried successfully, among others by Lord Kinnaird, who although he may be best known in the neighbourhood of Coaly Tyne for his connection with the Government in spection of mines, is yet well known as a large agricul turist and cattle breeder. His lordship's experiments with heat in cases of cattle distemper are conclusive. He has had a so-called bath erected at Millhill ; and its curative properties have been demonstrated in the most marked manner, in such cases as those of calves suffering from scour, &c. But still more decisive is the effect it has had upon stots affected with pleuro-pneumonia. Out of three patients which were on the spot at the time the bath was visited by a reporter two had every appearance of pro gressing towards perfect health. They ate well, walked about with seeming comfort and ease, tho cough had lost its nasty metallic sound, the discharge from the nose was stopped, the animals were no more hide-bound, and their coat had no longer the staring aspect of disease. The third patient, which was a larger animal than the other two, was not yet so far recovered, but was a great deal better. This is not by any means the whole •of the experience to the same effect. The gentleman, indeed, who has introduced the Turkish bath to this country, we mean Mr.. Urquhart, has himself found that dysentery among dairy stock yields readily to heat. Loss of milk is one of the symptoms of dysentery ; and on the fourth day after the beginning of the attack, Mr. Urquhart has frequently had cows back to their full milk; while heat in the skin, and loss of appe tite, are got over the day they appear. It must be under stood, however, that the heat required to produce a favour able impression in cases of pleuro-pneumonia must be very great, up to 200 or 212 degrees, boiling point, in fact. At a less temperature, the curative effect was not visible. In other diseases, less dangerous, but, if neglected, hardly less fatal, the hot air bath has been found a perfect cure. Now, to apply those facts and this reasoning to the case of the present disease in cattle. It will have been observed that the symptoms of disease already cured by heat are the same as some that are found in the . prevalent disease. In pleuro-pneumonia there are loss of milk, dysentery, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, cough, inactive skin; in the cur rent disease these symptoms are found along, of course, with others. The principal difference in the symptoms of pleuro-pneumonia and the prevalent diseases seems, so far as is yet known, to be that, while in both cases the ani mals are hide-bound, in the former the skin is hot, and in the other cold. This difference, however, would seem to furnish an additional reason not only for experiment with heat in the case of animals seized with the new disease, but also for expecting a satisfactory result. Let us suppose that I, flaying a good judgment about the merits of the horses in the Huntingdon Stakes, come to the conclusion that Claxton and Suspicion must beat the best. I attend to my Racing Calendar and find Claxton struck out of all his engagements on the Ist of August. I there fore think it is all right for Suspicion, send down to take the odds, or take them myself in London. Is it right that I, the attentive man, should have to pay and not receive ? On the other hand, we will say that I am inattentive to my Calendar, and I back Claxton. Is it so hard that the bet should be declared void, and that I should have no money to receive—l am not called upon to pay, be it under stood—upon a bet made by me through misapprehension ? In this case am I not one of those who " are too idle to read the Racing Calendar, and to attend to their business, and have nobody to blame but themselves for not receiving the bets ?" The Admiral gives you a case as a precedent. I shall give him another, with an opinion which I hope he will not be too high-handed in refuting : "In the Bedford Stakes at Newmarket, October, 1847, Lord Spencer struck the Empress out of this race a short time before the races commenced, but the trainer, not being aware of the circumstance, started her. A question arose as to whether Lord Spencer was liable to pay the whole stake or only the forfeit; the stewards decided he must pay the whole stake. "Remark.—With all due submission, I assert that this decision was in direct violation of racing law. Empress, being struck out, was virtually defunct ; if she had come in first she would not have received the stakes, and if she had been backed at the post the bets would have been null and void. She was therefore to be considered an intruder, and liable to be fined for galloping with the leading horses in a race." The case is, I think, in point, for it is that of a scratched horse subsequently allowed to run in error. The opinion is to be found at page 90 of tho " Laws and. Practice of Horse racing," and the author is Admiral the Hon. H. J. Rous. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, DISEASE UPON THE STAGE.—Given a tea-urn, and gouty man upon the stage, and it is required to know what a popular dramatist will do with them. The gouty man, stout, red-faced, helpless, and much padded about the legs, will be wheeled on in a chair by the comic servant, and fixed at the breakfast table. A tea-urn w ill then be brought in, foaming like a brewhouse copper, and placed upon the table, when the comic servant will with draw. After a few seconds taken up with speaking, and the business of the t able, the gouty man will find the water dripping from the tea-urn upon the worst of his two lame legs, which it is totally out of his power to move. The gouty man cannot reach a bell, and he knocks violently on the floor with a thick stick, the audience in the meantime roaring with delight, when they are made fully aware of the humour of the position. After a most unwarrantable delay the comic servant makes his appearance with anything but signs of pity and con trition upon his countenance. He pretends to be nearly bursting with half-concealed laughter, at which the audi ence shout in sympathy, and when he condescends to re cover his speech, and addresses his afflicted master, who is suffering from a painful disease, most painfully aggra vated by tke consequences of his gross neglect, instead of asking pardon, as in duty bound, he says, in the tone of an injured and unappreciated servant : " Well, sir, if I don't give satisfaction, I'd better leave ! " If the stage is a faithful reflex of the manners of the time (and we are bound to consider it so, according to the highest autho rities) we have small reason to congratulate ourselves upon the improvement in our humanity. Putting feeling out of the question, we may naturally ask what there is about gout which renders it so intensely and so pre eminently comic ? Small-pox, fevers, and broken limbs are never served up to amuse an audience, although the whole put together can scarcely equal the pain and help lessness represented by gout. The pleasures of the table are falsely fathered with the disease, although many more desperate cases come from workhouses than from palaces. Gatherers of comic material have either advanced too far in the province of disease, or have not penetrated far enough. There may be a wide, a fruitful, and a compara tivelyk untouched field yet open to them, for mirth-provok ing ing purposes. Rheumatism has many phases that might be rendered amusing in the hands of a master. Indigestion has been largely used ; but bilious fever is still virgin . soil. e t to n t El. g d l s a h matic manifestations, an Ague and yellow jaundidcearweopuelddeclTlyeffneocvteivl stage. Consumption has been well worked on its senti mental side: but there must be a comic aspect if diligent searchers will only seek it. The plague has been repre sented to a British audience with very equi'vocal success, but the persevering dramatist should not be disheartened by a single failure. Even the gout, wall-used as it is, is not entirely an over-worked mine. Why do the leading wits of the age linger idly at the half-way houses of death, and not push on their journey to its legitimate conclusion ? If disease can be made funny, why not the last scene of all ? Death is not always strutting in its dignified poses ; and many men have left the world with something mar vellously like an azti-climax.---From ifollingsheacrs ct To- Day." Improvement of Firearms. (From the Paris Correspondent of the Times.) The French War-office never loses sight of that important object, the improvement of firearms. In the workshops and armouries depending on that de partment constant experiments are made and fre quent trials took place, and private inventors are also encouraged to submit their models of improved arms. For a long time past a breech-loading rifle for gene ral use in the army has been desired, and, before introducing so important and expensive a change, the subject has of course been profoundly studied. Among others who sent in models was a M. Man ceaux. His and one other, produced by an employ‘ of the department, were the only two that survived the numerous trials to which all such inventions are subjected. A difficulty arose between M. Manceaux and the War Department with respect to priority of invention of certain parts of his rifle, of which parts he desired to prevent the introduc tion into another model. The affair came before the Civil Tribunal of the Seine, and was decided last year in favour of the War-office. Manceaux appealed, and judgment has just been given by the Imperial Court of Paris, which confirms the decision of the lower tribunal, but orders the War-office to pay one fourth of the costs. The details of the affair, as given in a long reportin the Gazette . des Tribuneaux, are chiefly technical, but a document produced by Manceaux at the Court of Appeal is sufficiently curious to be worth notice. It is the history of one of his rifles which went through the Mexican campaign : The Ist battalion of Foot Chasseurs stilled for Mexico March, commanding May,ndi O n n tsh i te ts hree arrival at Vera Cruz on the 16th of Douay, n h o e u fao ylwtraisgdadelei,vteoreds,ebrgyoardntercoafvGaleienre,rala the first company of the battalion, a rifle on the Manceaux system, in exchange for his regulation rifle. Lieutenant Chardon, a pupil of the normal school of shooting, was or dered by General Douay to observe the trial of this arm, and to keep a diary of its services ; but he was killed in the course of the campaign, and the report he had begun was lost. Sergeant Cavalier carried the rifle through the whole campaign, which lasted for that battalion from May, 1862, to October, 1864—two years and four months. He used it for the first time at the siege of Puebla. The battalion was in position at Fort St. John, situate at 2,000 metres from the town. He alone was able to fire with effect at that dis tance. His bullets were seen to strike groups of the enemy, causing the horsemen to scatter. From that position of Fort St. John several officers of the battalion used the Manceaux rifle with success, and especially Captain Mor hain, who knocked over several Mexicans with it at a dis tance of 1,500 metres. General Douay himself fired with it at a distance of 1,000, 1,500, 1,800, and even 2,000 metres, and hit several Mexican horsemen. When Pueblawas taken Sergeant Cavalier made use of his arm with the bayonet, and killedsevoral men with it. He found it very light at the end of the rifle, very penetrating, very murderous, and easy to handle. In consequence of the long range and of the preci sion of his weapon he was constantly selected in the course of the campaign for ambuscades, and to fire at great dis tances. The rifle was found well adjusted for all distances, even the greatest. Its weight was 5 kilogrammes and 30 grammes. Cavalier, who carried it for more than two years, and marched 1,600 leagues with it, declared that he did not find the weight excessive, and would willingly submit to it, in consideration of all the advantages of the rifle. Its rifle. He marked fired hat l o at recoil caused him no fatigue, an d seemed to him to be much less severe than that of the regulation and re readily . fired three shots t o one that his comrades fi red fro m t gether about 1,200 shots f rom it, he their rifles. He had often fired five times in a minute. The arm was easily loaded, and very rarely missed fire. He had often fired as many as 50 shots in a day, with in tervals for the rifle to cool, but without cleaning. After having fired all day, he would resume firing the next morn ing without cleaning it, and without finding any difficulty in loading. This had several times occurred." Against this remarkable narrative M. Manceaux'n opponent in the lawsuit protested, but we are not told on what grounds. Some of its most important statements, we may suppose, could hardly be dis puted, since Manceaux cites the names of several officers as able positively to depose to their truth. The range of the rifle—nearly 2,200 yards—seems very great. Five shots in the minute is rapid firing to be effective, especially for a rifle that has to be capped, and would leave little advantage to the Prussian needle gun, which needs no cap. It does not clearly appear to what peculiarity of the rifle is due that remarkably penetrating and murderous power of the bayonet at its end, described with such unction in the above interesting and historical sketch. .^r+ , /~~~- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1865.

A writer from Homburg, Aug. 18, states there is a poem by Parini entitled "Il Giorno," one of the most laborious efforts in Italian literature, which professes to teach a young Lombard nobleman " How to do nothing from morn ing to night." The art of killing time is not to be learnt without pains, oven in that Southern land, where dolce far niente is said to be a normal state of existence. What shall it bo in England, where the hurry and scurry of the Derby Day makes up for Carnival, harvest home, vintage, and all the 365 festivals enlivening a Roman calendar? John Bull has killed pleasure at home ; he must needs go abroad and show how he can amuse himself, " tristement h l'usage de son pays. John Bull is not an unamusable follow, nevertheless, though he has his own peculiar ways of enjoying himself. His fondness for violent, perilous exercise is the result of sanguine temperament, of exuberant animal spirits. There is nothing like running the chance of breaking one's neck, to give existence a fresher start, a more intense relish; and next to the delight of venturing one's life comes that of staking one's purse.

Every place becomes Cockneyfied as soon as known. Every man in England wastes his breath in an anxious race after his "b e tt ers ," w hil e t h ese show as great an alacrityin cutting their " equals." These centrifugal and centripetal forces aro at work abroad as well as at horhe. Everywhere you see a stream of the English running after and running away from the English. What was charm ingly " select" ton years ago runs a chance of becoming a solitude the moment the "quality" voted it common place. Mont Blanc is almost as Cockney a mountain now , a-days as the Rigi.

I only came in here last evening, and had barely time to look about me. There is not much to be seen at Homburg, as every one is aware, as to the place itself, but much to attract attention and set a man thinking with respect to its summer visitors. A walk up and down the platform before the Kursaal and a look at the groups sitting round or loung ing about satisfy you of the enormous difficulty the majo rity have to contend with in their endeavour to get rid of the " enemy." The air is fresh and breezy, and the sun tempered by white fleecy clouds ; the gardens aro bloom ing ; the plants in the orange-boxes taper up slender and graceful, rearing their round crests almost on a level with the roof of the handsome Kursaal building ; and the woody slopes of the Taunus invite enterprising strollers up to the top of that Grosse Feldberg, down the cliffs of which no man ever broke his neck ; but on the countenances of most men there is a listlessness which no prospect of a 5 o'clock table d'hote dinner has power to dispel; and the ladies sit ya wn i ng , seemingly lost to the very sense of admiration for their own dress, and of envy and uncharitableness towards their neighbours' apparel. The cigar has no soothing effect on a man who has no other solace against ennui, and flirting is very hard work for couples who have fourteen hours of a summer day to do it in. Indeed, who would ever think of coming to Homburg (I speak of persons in good health, and having no faith in Dr. Granville), if it were not for the gambling tables? There are no less than ten of them at work all day here, from 11 o'clock in the morning till 11 in the evening, and you have to strive hard both for sitting and standing room at any of them. Silence and awful solemnity reign among all those . groups ; and you see here and there very deep furrows on the brow of this or of that votary of fortune. Most of the sitters seemed nailed to their seats, and unable to quit the tempting hazard. It is not pleasant to see so many women here, at least not the young ones so many peach-cheeked English lasses, too. There may be no harm in the mere venture of a florin or a Napoleon ; but who is there who can bear to see his wife or daughter at a place of this kind in England ? Exactly so ; that is the very reason why one travels abroad, because what is called "a hell " in London becomes, if not quite a Paradise, at least aKursaa], a place mentionable to ears polite at Homburg. WIESBADEN, Aug. 19. What is there in an Englishman that makes him so well known at a first glance, and sets him apart from all the other members of the human family ? When the Emperor Napoleon 111. - Wished to requite the hospitality he had re ceived at the hands of perfide Albion by granting all British subjects a privilege which is still denied to his own French citizens—that of travelling about in France without being bound to exhibit a passport:—that astute monarch was well aware that the sagacity of his police agents and gendarmes could never be at fault about .that _indefinable something which nature has stamped on the countenance, in the bearing and garb of an Englishman,and which sends him forth into the world as the civis Ronzanus of the present day—something in the look of an Englishman, and of an Englishwoman too. I was years ago on my way hack from Italy, and had reached the French frontier, then at Culoz, when we were, agreeably to custom, marched through ropes into the police-office at the station, a whole train-full of passengers, and asked to show our credentials. We had been posting all night across Mont Cords, we had gone through a hurried toilet at St. jean de Maurienne, and the dust of the road and railroad had made our travel-stained clothes all of one colour. There was not much to choose among us as to outward apparel. We filed one by one be fore M. le Commissaire ; the poor foreigners put down their greasy papers with fear and trembling ; the English part of the company proclaimed their nationality and claimed their exemption. The turn came for a tall, and rather good looking, middle-aged lady, an Englishwoman born and bred, but marriedto an Italian, long since a Briton by right of naturalisation. Her turn came to stand before the table, and the contrast between the sharp weasel-features of the arrogant little official and the innate dignity of the fair tra veller was sufficiently striking. "Vot' pass'port Madame?" " English," was the answer. The lady understands and speaks most languages, but she claimed in this instance the right of using her own. "English," she said. " Anglaise?" translated the little man ; " Vot' nom, s'il vous plait ?" " Centurione," uttered the traveller with great distinction. The Commissaire, snappishly—" Ce n'est pas un nom An glais." The lady gave a slight toss of the head and said nothing. "Ce n'est pas un nom Anglais," repeated the irascible functionary ; " Vous dites— " " Centurione," again spoke the lady, and then, spelling, "C enturion e." "Ce n'est pas un nom Anglais," still more snappishly. He then cast a glance round the company, who began to be amused at the dialogue, and then muttered, somewhat crestfallen, " Passe; Madame," and tho lady passed on. The rogue knew very well all the time that he had to deal with an Englishwoman, and that there was nothing to gain in the contest ; but he thought he could tracasser her about her name and worry her with impertinent questions. The demureness of the lady shut him up. No doubt any one who has eyes in his head can tell an English person as soon as ho has one before him, and it is thus that by casting a hasty glance on this vast., motley crowd before the Kursaal, at Wiesbaden, I can settle it to my own satisfaction that the Britons do not this year muster very strong at this cosmopolite meeting. It is true that a word or two caught here and there in the midst of the hubbub of voices has something of the smack of Anglo- Saxon accent ; but, upon turning on the group whence it proceeds, you hare no doubt as to their Transatlantic nationality. Wiesbaden has not much to delight as to site, and all the beauty of the place is purely artificial. It lies in a hollow among imperceptibly sloping heights, and is as close and hot in the summer as a teakettle. It has not oven the high platform and the cooling breeze of Homburg, and is not so conveniently placed as Soden for excursions to the fine ruins of Koenigstein and Falkenstein, or for an ascent of the Grosse Feldberg, that only mountain in Europe the summit of which can be reached in a carriage. Yet the garden walks, the ponds, and fountains are laid out with taste, and the temple of the rouge et noir god is fitted up with a splendour second only to that of tho rival establishments of Homburg. Tho look of the company, so far as I can see, is as much, or even more, listless. The people may be acquainted, but do not seem to care much for one another. The great business of the day is for every one to stare at his neighbour. They move about at a snail's pace in dreary rounds, along the walks or in front of the terrace, pretending to listen to the strains of the band, or sit down in the verandah, yawning—yawning wofully. The fact is, bathing, eating ices, or champagne drinking, newspaper-reading, shopping at the bazaar, flirting and gossip-picking—all amusements but one—pall, when pursued the whole livelong day, even on the most inveterate idler. All amusements but one, and that one is apt to produce the thirst that no water can quench ; to create that craving which no indulgence can sate. In these gambling places happy is the man who can gamble ! The rouge et noir and roulette tables are as densely beset hero as they are at Hom burg. In no previous year, they say, has so much money changed hands at all these German establishments. No amount of good or bad luck seems to have power to break the spell for those who have once given in to it. Men who have staked their last florin still linger round the fascinat ing green cloth, cursing in their heart the hard law, which hangs in placards on every wall round the rooms, by which it is signified that " the bank grants no credit." Pity one cannot gamble away lands and houses, air and freedom, and ono's very share of paradise on parole ! Stand on no ceremony ; nobody does here ; elbow your way through the throng. Listen to the whispering of those women, who are watching the proceedings with a kind of awe, which will, however, soon wear off ; they will let you know how that darling, dark-browed Milanese count has already pocketed his 5,500 florins at one sitting ; or they will sneer at that rubicund Esthonian baron, who has just got up leaving 80,000 francs in the croupier's clutches, and who goes away rubbing his hands in apparent groat glee, as if glad to be rid of the burden. The rooms, owing to their mysterious demi-jour, are deliciously cool, in spite of the crowd and the stifling season ; yet there is something unwholesome in the air, and no one feels at home here till acclimatised to the spot by long habit. To stop at Wiesbaden for more than one day except for the sake of its baths at molten-lead temperature, or for the pleasure of earning money otherwise than by the sweat of one's brow, seems to me, in short, hardly possible ; but for one day, or half a day, running up by an afternoon train from Frankfort or Mayenco, the scene is sufficiently enter taining, if it were only for the pleasure of seeing how people can ennuyer themselves or each other. No one dresses here, you would say, as he is wont to do at home. There are men in the finest broadcloths, with most unexceptionably shining, close napped " tiles ;" and there are others with loose jackets and trousers, low-crowned, broad-brimmed, o r turned-up wide - awakes, slouching hats, pork-pie hats, brimless hats ; some of them all in white linen from h ead to foot, like Pierrot at a masked ball. Yonder goe s an unmistakable Shylock, with a long beard and trail in g gaberdine ; close to him follows a sturdy fellow, with feathered cap, vel veteen coat, and top boots—a huntsman, as you would fancy, fresh from the Black Forest. There are stu dents with little saucer-like brimless caps tied with strings beneath their long hair, wearing the colours of the 'University they belong to. The green Nassau uni form and the white Austrian tunic are conspicuous in the crowd, and great is the rattle and clatter of their ponderous sabres on the ground. As to the fair Kurgaste, what pencil could do justice to the perfect parterre of the flowers in their garments ? There they go, mountains of muslin, clouds of tarlatan, white, pink, and blue, with here and there a flaming Garibaldi tunic, with their back hair in nets of gold, with plumes and whole birds in th e i r h ats, with long, dangling earrings, with crosses of di amon d s or jet heaving on their breasts. I cannot say that in all cases fine feathers make fine birds. THE WIFE MURDER AT ISLEWORTH.-DEATH OF THE MURDERER.---The man Daniel. Dorsett, who has been lying in the Isleworth Union since the 14th of June last, for the murder of his wife and attempted suicide of himself, died yesterday morning at a quarter past two o'clock. rAnvEnTisE3tENT.l—Holloway's Pills.—Enjoyment of Life.—When the blood is pure, its circulation perfect, and the nerves in good order, we are well.
