Now that the French Exhibition has gone on for some time, it would seem as if those fears were about to be realised which caused so much anxiety at the commencement of the year, and the probability of war is again speculated upon. The French have not relaxed from their military preparations, notwithstanding the comparatively reassuring aspect of affairs, after the Treaty signed in London concerning Luxemburg. The truth is, however, that the French are altogether dissatisfied at the recent events on the Continent; and, indeed, since the Danish war some years back there has been a feeling of distrust at the course of German policy, and indignation and irrita tion have alterultely prevailed with our neighbours. Only the greatest care on the part of the Govern ment has preserved peace at all, and those best ac quainted with affairs have felt . the foundations of that peace to be illusory and ephemeral. The fuss and confusion which ensued about Luxemburg were not only caused by the thing itself, but the discus sion was taken up angrily, because irritable feelings were in the background. When the real cause of disturbance and discussion has been renewed, there is every reason to indulge in the expectation of peace and calm, but it is otherwise if the immediate topic under consideration is not the head and front of the offending. Thus no sooner has Luxemburg been settled than other pretexts are seized upon, and we may now be on the eve of new controversies, which may rrHEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE.' 1 S o le Lessee and M a nager, Mr. F.

It is stated that the French Envoy has delivered, a copy of a dispatch to the Prussian Government, in which the French Government makes the North Schleswig question a subject of discussion in the. interest of Denmark. This may certainly mean. little or nothing, but it may, on the other hand., mean a good deal, and involve consequences that are important to many. Who can tell what has given rise to this " diplomatic Note," and much may depend upon the way it is answered. It is certain that no cause could be more popu lar in France than that of Denmark, and the wrongs of the Danes have long been a futile theme of discussion with French writers, and a never-ending topic of conversation in many quarters. The Berlin Government is so entete, as the French themselves would say, that it by no means follows that they will seek to make the best of it, and allay the irritation of the French by agreeing to their requests. This Schleswig question is not one in which third parties can do much. England has been put quite out of the field through the mischievous meddling of Lord RUSSELL, and hence France and Prussia must settle it some how or other. It seems a little strange, to say the least of it, that just at this time the French should begin again the old story, for there was no fear of collision betweenDenmarkandher former oppressor. At any period since the Dano-German War some cause or other might have been found for making protests or declarations on behalf of Denmark ; but it certainly seems rather ominous that it should be done just now, when the relations between the two countries are, to say the least of it, peculiar. In many respects it would be an event to deplore if war actually broke out between these two great countries, and there would be no likelihood of its leaving off so speedily as the hostilities of last year, because then the Germans in many instances did not act heartily or with spirit. Besides this, great mismanagement pervaded the Austrian army, and neither on the French nor the Prussian side is that fault likely to bo found. - While the present advi sers of her MAJESTY remain in office it is not likely that this country will be drawn into the vortex, but we shall suffer some of the indirect consequences of war, and that war most probably the most bitter in character and disturbing in its effects that this generation has seen in Europe. There has been so much stir of late, in the way of festivities and ex citement, that persons have been apt to overlook the danger and glitter. Now it seems as if the cur tain was withdrawn that hid the less genial view, and we are able to see the dark side of things. In the awkward state of affairs which exists at present everything is looked upon with jealous scrutiny, but we should apprehend that no exception could . be taken to the reply of Denmark to the last Prussian Note. It seems all that can bo desired in the way of caution, while it also expresses the truth in an impressive man " Special guarantees," it is said, are not re quired, for the Danish laws are well known to be liberal, and to afford ample protection to German residents. With respect to Denmark's co-opera tion in settling the frontiers of the restored dis trict, the Danish Cabinet asserts that Denmark is excluded from taking the initiative in the mat ter by the clause in the Treaty of Prague, which bears reference to the subject. " Denmark must, therefore, await the proposals of Prussia." This is a very right reply, and one well calculated to settle the vexed question on the part of Denmark, provided only Prussia wishes it to be disposed of easily. There remains, however, to be seen what France will 'do in the affair, and that is the most important and significant. Doubts must suggest themselves to the mind when affairs are in so unsettled a state, and ner. the temporary character of recent arrangements renders one still more uncertain. The position and prospects of the Militia were Last night the subjects of considerable discussion. The policy of keeping an army in reserve has never been questioned, its manifest advantages com mending themselves to every statesman. But it has long been openly acknowledged that our Militia is very far from being what it might be, and the puzzle is how to get up to its full efficiency. Mili tary occupations have now serious rivals in the re gular branches of industry. Even the few days a year necessary for service in the militia are be grudged ; and though, no doubt, under the pressure of a sudden emergency, there would be no lack of volunteers, every military man knows that it will not do to rely on untrained and undisciplined legions, however patriotic. Lord ELCHO, in addressing himself to the consideration of the case, could find no satisfactory remedy for I the deficient numbers of our Militia but the ballot. He held that the serving in the Militia should be regarded as a public duty, to be performed as punctually as the serving on juries or the paying of taxes, only that the duty would fall more lightly, owing to the chances of exemption. At present the whole population between eighteen and forty-five are liable to be called upon to bear arms in case of need, but Lord EURO would reduce the term from nineteen to twenty-three, which would be quite sufficient to keep the force at its present standard. He would allow no substitutes. The only ground of excuse being efficiency as a volunteer serving in the Militia, would, he observes, interfere much less with trade if the period of drill as a regiment was reduced by two-thirds, and the rest of the time served by drilling in local companies as volunteers are drilled: As for the hardship talked of Lord ELcHo held that there was no hardship at all. The to s f e w e l e were, the h h e u s r a d i e d n , majority of our 180,00 h O o v e o u lu g n h t t ee r made up of artisans w the most, and yet they willingly gave their service. This view of the case, however, may fairly allow us to ask why the Volunteer service shouwldhbehseor somemuch more popular than the Militia, and whether means cannot be found to render the paid service as attractive as the unpaid. Major WALKER pro bably spoke the truth when he blamed the apathy not of one particular Government or party, but of the House and the country generally. The Militia ceased to be talked or "thought of when the Volun teer movement began, all interest was lost in it, and it was not wonderful that it should have vanquished. The gallant member touched upon a few grievances of which the Militia men have cause to complain, and he was followed by other members who supported his views. The system of billeting is open to grave objections, but it is not easy to see how it is to be remedied. The pay is wretchedly small, and only attracts the dregs of the population. But Lord ELcao appeared to forget when he so strongly advocated th 3 ballot that it is at present actually the law of the land, and could be enforced at any time. It is in suspension, it is true, but if it were desirable to employ it again a very few weeks would suffice to recruit our forces. It would be better as things are to inquire more closely into the whole subject, so as to ascer tain the real cause 3 of our deficiency in members, and of the comparative unpopu larity of a service which need be by no means burdensome or oppressive. It is the more desirable to put this question on a satis factory basis, as experience chows us it is on our THE SUN, LOINUON, FRIDAY EVE.NING, JULY 26, 1867. _ilitia DJ that we must rely mainly for our army of r' .serve. Sir J. PAKINGTON confessed that the Act of 1859 had been very unproductive of results, only about 4,000 men having been enrolled under it. The whole reserve force which was created by that act and the others which preceded it was, on paper, 50,000 men, but the actual result has not been one-half that number. The Recruiting Com mission in their report suggest various means for enlarging the reserve force, such as increasing the enrolled pensioner force, and compelling all men who purchase their discharge to serve for five years with the reserve. " All these some - s of supply combined," adds the report, " would, however, form but a small reserve force, and we are of opinion that it is to our Militia we must look for the solid and constitutional reserve of the ccun try, and we would earnestly re commend that more attention should be given to its organisation." Without accepting Mr. WHALLEv's conclusion, that it is clear nature could not have meant us to have a standing army, or we should have had a better capacity for organisation, we may safely admit that great improvement is pos sible, and though there is seldom any real difficulty in obtaining the necessary votes, there is a very great difficulty in remodelling the system and get ting our Militia into really good working order. Viscount HALIFAX likes to be mysterious. He tells us that he means mischief to the Reform Bill— a statement we do not find it difficult to believe, but from what quarter his attack is to come he will not let us know. He prefers to pique our curiosity. We must wait in patience until Monday next before we learn the new aspect under which the wisdom of the noble lord is to be exhibited. We only know that it concerns the weak point of every Reform Bill—the redistribution scheme. Lord HALIFAX is to set wrong right, to remedy evils and supply deficiencies, no doubt. He has never lacked a judicious confidence in his own powers, whether as Chancellor of the Exchequer when he bewildered our taxpayers, or, as First Lord of the Admirality, he astonished our sailors. He is now going to give Reformers a lesson, and to show the country how much it lost when it suffered a great public question to be settled without the aid of a GREY, a RUSSELL, or an ELLIP•TT. Lord MALMES BURY, in the unfortunate absence :of his chief, appealed in vain for information. Lord HALIFAX will let him know at the proper time. Meanwhile he has no intention that his foes should be either forewarned or forearmed. His general proposition is to the effect that the scheme is inadequate, and he is going, therefore, kindly to give it a few finish ing touches. Such a masterhand at political patch work may be relied upon to execute the task with dexterity and goodwill. We only doubt whether the House will appreciate his labours. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS• to be very attractive. Their Majesties particularly admired the splendid horses, nearly 200 in num ber. The sheep exhibited are the finest ever seen. There is now a dog show at the Exhibition. A valiant old warror of the Empire, M. A. Tillet, has just died at his country house at the age of 82. He was a Knight of the Legion of Honour. One of the most remarkable traits on record is connected with his history. General Foy related in the Cham ber of Deputies on the 19th of April, 1820, that Tillet performed a most extraordinary feat during the war, not to be excelled in the history of modern days. Tillet was employed on a mission, to effect which be had to cross an army of 100,000 English or Spaniards, who blockaded the strong place of Arinekla, in order to convey a letter to General Brenier, commanding him to blow up the place and rejoin the bulk of the French army. Tillet was compelled to hide himself in the bed of a river his head being between two rocks, where he remained for eleven hours. A whole battalion was engaged in trying to find him, but no one thought of looking for him in the river. At night Tillet emerged from his hiding place and proceeded to wards the place. In his progress 1,500 balls were fired at him, but not one hit him, and he was enabled to deliver the letter to General Brenier, who, with 1,200 men, forced, the lines of the blockade and re joined Massena, General-in-Chief at the Felix le Grand. It should be added that twelve soldiers had successively tried to perform the task, but they had all been shot by the Spaniards. The Moniteur, in its weekly review of foreign affairs, says :—" Count Bismark has just been in vested with the functions of Chancellor of the Confederation of Northern Germany. The Chan cellor will preside at the Federal Council, at which Prussia will have 17 votes, Bavaria six, Saxony Royal four, Wurtemberg three, the Grand Duchy of Hesse Darmstadt three, Mecklenburg Schwerin and the Duchy of Brunswick each two. The other States of the Confederation will have each one vote.

" A Congress of Chambers of Commerce is to assemble at Florence towards the middle of Sep ember." (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Honiteur contains a decree for closing the session of the Legislative Body. A telegram from Spezzia, dated July 21, an nounces that the Italian fleet, under the command of Admiral Ribotti, has just left that port. The Grand Duke Alexis, third son of the Em peror of Russia, arrived at Cadiz on the 19th inst. from Oilezzsa, and left for Malta and Gibraltar. His mperial highness, who is a lieutenant in the Pius sia.n navy, is about to embark in the steam frigate Alexandre Newski, to make a voyage of study in he Atlantic. The Memorial Diplomatipte says—" The rules of etiquette prevent the Emperor of Austria from leav ing his States during the family mourning ordered in consequence of the sanguinary catastrophe of Queretaro, which mourning will not cease till the 21th of August. At that period the Emperor of the French will take the waters at Plombiores, from whence he will proceed to Biarritz, to join the Empress and the Imperial Prince. This is the rea- son why the Duke deGramont, having been charged to inform the Emperor Francis Joseph that the Emperor Napoleon, calculating upon being absent from Paris at the end of the mourning, the Austrian Sovereigns have postponed the period of their visit to the Court of the Tuileries. As the Duke de Gramont is expected shortly in Paris to take part in the deliberations of the General Councils, and as, on the other hand, the Prince de Metternich pro poses to take a short leave of absence during the stay of the Emperor and Empress at Biarritz, they will both be enabled to receive ulterior instructions The weather is still unsettled, with the probabi - lty of more storms. The number of persons who paid for admission to the Exhibition on Tuesday was nearly 48,000. The Memorial Diplonzatique says that the health of the Archduchess Sophia has not undergone any alteration, whatever may be said by English or French journals. The Archduchess lives tranquilly with her two sons, the Archdukes Charles Louis and Louis Victor. The Archduchess naturally heard with great emotion the news of the death of the Emperor Maximilian, and while anxiously expecting official information respecting this melancholy event, she reads with avidity the accounts published by the English and American papers on the subject. from the mouths of their respective Sovereigns, with the view of making arrangements for the pro jected journey of the Emperor and Empress of Austria to France, which has only been postponed in consequence of the melancholy events which everybody deplores." Baron de Zaylau de Nyevelt has been received by the Emperor to remit to his Majesty the letters which accredit him as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of the Netherlands to the Court of France. The cholera now prevails with much intensity al Ploumilliau in the department of the Cotes du Nord During a fortnight the terrible malady has created much alarm. Out of a population of about 3,700 persons, more than 400 were attacked with the dis ease, and the proportion of deaths was very large. The doors of the Clichy prison were opened on Tuesday night. At eight o'clock the director of the prison announced to his boarders that they were free. Ths news was received with frantic joy and manifestations of pleasant excitement impossible to describe. The prisoners carried the director in their arms, and treated him to. an ovation. They then made their preparations for departure. At one minute after midnight the doors were opened for sixty debtors, who departed nothing loth. A few of them said they would pass one more night under the hospitable roof. The requisite . permission was therefore given by the director. The prison is now inhabited by only five or six debtors, whose pe culiar situation connected with the reason for their confinement demands attentive inquiry. The last accounts of the insurrection in the island of Crete are very contradictory. Advices from Athens to the 15th .of July represent the Cretans as being able to hold out against the Turkish troops on the heights of Spatica. On the other hand, a telegram from Constantinople of the 23d of July affirms that all the positions of the insurrec tionists have been carried by the Turks, and that the island had entirely submitted. A trial is now proceeding before the Court of Assize of the Ariege, connected with some horrible murders which took place three years ago, and created great excitement at the time. On the night of the 26th of February, 1864, the proprietor of the chateau Labastida Besilas, an old gentleman of upwards of 70, and three of his servants were brutally murdered. A man named Jacques Latour, and his accomplice Audony were convicted for the murder. Latour was condemned to death and executed. Audony was sentenced to hard labaur for life, and died in confinement at Cayenne. The police having become acquainted with some cir cumstances inducing the belief that a man named Pierrie Salot, alias Casque de Fer, who was known to be intimate with,the murderers, ho was arrested, and there are presumptions that he was an accom plice in the crimes. Salot, in defence, endeavoured to prove an alibi. The murderers plundered much valuable property from the chateau. There is a great deal of evidence, and the trial will last for several days. The opening of the sixth International Statistical Congress is definitively fixed for the 30th of Septem ber. Its i pittings will continue till the sth of Octo ber. All the Governments of Europe, Turkey, and the United States will send representatives to the Congress.

They are supported by 12,000 well armed and disciplined men. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) The defence in the Surratt trial has developed un expected strength. Numerous witnesses of respec tability have been produced, whose testimony directly contradicts the principal testimony for the prosecution. A strong effort is being made to prove an alibi for the prisoner. Three witnesses have sworn to seeing him in the town of Elmira, New York, on the day of the assassination. One of the principal prosecution witnesses (one Cleaver) has been proved to have been convicted of rape, and to be now awaiting a new trial under a charge of manslaughter. The Indians in Arizona are committing great out rages upon isolated white settlements, and the ter ritorial authorities have strongly appealed to the national Gouerrunent for their extermination. THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. VIENNA, July 26. The formal investiture of the Emperor with the order of the Garter took place yesterday evening. Upon the presentation of the insignia, the Marquis of Bath delivered a speech, assuring his Majesty that Queen Victoria gladly availed herself of the present opportunity to confirm the alliance long subsisting between England and Austria. The Emperor, in his reply, laid grateful stress upon the value of the friendly assurance just re ceived, and added that no wish was nearer to his heart than to sec the personal relations drawn closer that connected him with the Qicen.

In her anxiety to fix upon you a blunder similar to that which you have fixed upon Lord Cairns, she claims for Pericles the s tory which you ascribe t o Themistocles. She may be right, and certainly she ought to know ; but in calling Dr. Whately as her common vouchee, she is unquestionably wrong. If you turn to that emi nent author's " Eleme nts of L ogic," p. 346, 3d ed., The child of Themist ocles g over ned his mother; sho you will find the follo win g fallac y : governed her husband ; he governed Athens; Athens, Greece ; and Greece, the world; therefore, the child of Tnemistocles goverbed the world.

But she was never even his wife. Relict, indeed ! If she be, I should like to know why he had to get his and her boy legitimised ? This was the only reason why I wished to write ; but, as I am writing, a friend of mine, a very re spectable old gentl eman (th ou gh a Bo3tian) of the name of Plutar c h, d esires me to m ention that the story in question comes from h i m , and that though, as he is good eno ug h to say, he h as no doubt that I did command (h o Bays the word he used was irtrarretv, which d oes not mean t o be Sovereign of) Pericles so long as h e would l e t m e, yet, in fact, he told the anecdot e , as you do, o f Themistoeles, and not of my husband.

THE BEVERLEY MURDER.--At a very early hour on Wednesday morning the body of John King, alleged to have been poisoned by antimony a month ago, as well as that of his mother, Catherine King, ag ed 42, were exhumed at the Beverley St, Martin's Cemetery, and por tions of their intestines placed in jars for analysis by Dr. Letheby, of London. A young woman, named Hannah Thorley, is now in custody charged with the murder of John King, with whose father, late station-master here, it has been proved she has carried on an adulterous con nexion. She was living with King at the time of his wife's death, and although no suspicion was attached to Mrs. King's death at the time, circumstances have since tran spired that have ind uce d t h e au th or ities to apply for an analysis of her body. 1:146 case has caused great excite ment in the town.

NEW YORK, July 16 (Evening.) The Senate by 31 against 6 votes, and the Home of Representatives by 11 against 30 votes, have passed the Supplemental Reconstruction Bill, with the amendments of the House. The bill has gone to the President. Congress has appropriated $1,000,000 for the Reconstruction of the Act. President Johnson, in reply to the Congressional inquiry, sent the message to the Senate, stating that the Reconstruction Act will necessitate the appropriation of $14,000,000, and that Con gress should consider whether by , abro gating the civil Governments in the States, the National Government would not become responsible for the debts legally incurred by those States before the rebellion, amounting to $100,000,000, and thereby greatly impairing the credit. The refusal of Congress to guarantee those debts would be a violation of good faith, and a re pudiation of the legal State debts by the national legislation. The Senate has instructed the Judiciary Com inittee to inquire whether Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware have Republican forms of Govern ment. The House of Representatives has refused to order the evidence taken during the impeachment investigation to be printed. The house have rejected the resolution asking for pro posed by Mr. Munger, a Democrat, an investigation into the treatment of rebel pri soners by the North. A resolution was after wards passed, declaring that the house would entertain no resolution implying other than humane treatment of rebel prisoners. The correspondence between Mr. Seward and Colonel Naphegzi, Santa Anna's agent, has been published. Naphegzi, on the Bth inst., asked Mr. Seward to demand the release of Santa Anna, and rebuke Commander Roe for interfering with hi s movements. Mr. Seward replied, justifying Commander Roe, on the grounds that Santa Anna had attempted, under the protection of the flag, an d in the presence, and with the co-opera tion, of the United States, to foment civil war i n Mexico, and that only great national injury would justify the United States in assuming a hostile attitude towards the Republic of Mexico. I t is reported, via Galveston, that the French linister, M. Dano, has been refused a passport. Juarez is confiscating the Catholic convents. Cor tinas has been ordered to occupy the line of the Rio Grande. The late Emperor left by will 8100,000 to the widows of Miramon and Mejia. The Royal Mail steamship Java arrived at Queens town at 11.45 p.m., last night, with 153 cabin pas sengers, $195,082 in specie, and £4Bl.

The National Steam Navigation Company's steamship Erin, from New York, arrived here at 2 a .m. to-day, with $250,000 in specie. She landed passengers, and proceeded to Liverpool. (Per Saxonia.) NEW YORK, July 13. The Supplemental Recohstruction Bill, as passed by both Rouses, taking it for granted that the House of Representatives amendment, in which the Senate refused to concur, will be set aside by the Conference Committee, is regarded as furnish ing an explicit definition of the letter and spirit of the original Reconstruction Act. The Presidential veto and a subsequent two thirds vote over it in Congress are regarded as merely unavoidable delays. The President's power has now been so cur tailed that it is not expected that he can, even if so disposed, in any way impede or prevent the execu tion of the heconstruction Act. The clause in the Supplemental Bill, prohibiting persons from registering as voters by reason of a Presidential pardon, and the removal of District Commanders from military subordination to the President, are maintained by Democratic argument to be flagrant violations of the Constitution, being in defiance of the Constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, and an interference with the pardon power unconditionally vested in him by the Constitution. The resolution of the House of Representatives, declaring that when it adjourns it shall be until Nov. • 13, is regSrded as virtually a defeat of the impeachment project, as the impeachers strongly urged reassembling early in October. Letters from Mexico state that Marquez had es caped to the mountains, where he was endeavouring to rally a force to join Gozada, and operate against Juarez. He is said to have few followers, but to have plenty of funds, taken from the capital. The occupation of the capital by the Republicans was not attended with any enthusiasm on the part of the inhabitants. Only 100 of the Imperial gar rison of 7,000 fell into the hands of Diaz.

(Signed). BOLLARD. MARKETS.--This day. MARK LANE. There was a very poor show of English wheat hero to-day. Although the demand was inactive, farmers were very firm in their demands, andprices ruled a shade higher than on Monday. The imports of foreign wheat have amounted to 27,730 quarters ; but the supply on offer was by no means exten sive. On the whole, a fair business was transacted, at extreme rates. Floating cargoes of grain were very firm in value. Barley—the supply of which was limited—moved off freely, and Monday's currency was well supported. Malt maintained its previous value, although sales pro gressed slowly. The supply was good. Wo were well supplied with foreign oats, in which a steady business was transacted, at late rates. Beans and peas were firm in price. The inquiry for them, however, was limited. Both English and foreign flour were quite as dear as last week. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

MORTALITY IN EUROPE. In a paper read at a late sitting of the French Academy of Medicine, Dr. Bertillon treats of com parative mortality at different ages and in different countries. The general mortality in France and Corsica is 23 per 1,000 per annum ; in the Vau cluse it is 26. Corsica contributes 72 conscripts for every 1,000 births ; France 61, and the Vaucluse only 50. The latter department loses 252 children per annum out every 1,000 not exceeding the age of a twelvemonth ; all France loses only 208 per 1,000, and Corsica 163. But, as life advances, the Vau cluse takes the lead ; for between the ages of 3 and 15 it registers less than 7 deaths per 1,000 ; France between 7 and 8 ; and Corsica nearly 9. Between the ages of 15 and 60, the Vaucluse has 10 deaths per 1,000 ; France, 11 ; and Corsica, 13. In Prussia the annual deaths per 1,000 up to the age of 14 amount to 40 ; while in France they do not rise higher than 34. In Austria Proper, inha bited by Germans only, the proportion is not less than 58 ; in the whole empire it is 52. Between the ages of 14 and 60, Prussia, like France, marks 11 ; Austria Proper, 14 ; and the whole Austrian Empire, 13. Beyond the age of 60, France re gisters 72 deaths ; Prussia, 77 ; and Austria Proper, 87 ; so that, as regards longevity, the latter country is far below the others all along. Compar ing the French departments with each other, up to the age of 5, France registers annually 74 deaths per 1,000; the Vaucluse more than 100; the Finis tere, 136 ; the Haute-Saone, Gironde, Orne, and Gers, between 63 and 56 ; and the Manche, only 50. In the latter and in the Haute-Marne, beyond the age of 60, the number of deaths per 1,000 is only 64 ; while the Finistere counts 80, and the Haute Vienne as many as 93. Between the ages of 15 and 60, the Haute Marne registers fewer than 9 deaths ; the Finistere, 15 ; and the Haute Vienne, always the worst, 16 ! CREMAY lON v. INHUMAi The Journal des Connaissances Medicales contains an article by Dr. Caffe on the much-controverted question regarding the expediency of returning to the ancient custom of burning instead of burying the dead. Alluding to the new cemetery which the City of Paris purposes establishing at fiery, near Pontoise, and which will measure 850 hectares (2,125 acres), the author of the article doubts whether even at that distance the emanations from that vast metropolis may not exercise a baneful influence on the sanitary condition of Paris. At present, whichever way the win d blows, the putrid effluvia of Pere Lachaise, Mont matre, or Montparnasse are carried into the heart of the city, and the water we drink con tains cadaverous particles in dissolution. Whe n we consider that a mere scratch of the dissecting knife may occasion death, or at least require imme diate amputation of the injured part, the import ance of avoiding all such deleterious influences can' not be denied. Taking into consideration the motives of piety which induce us to desire the pre' servation of the bodies of those we loved dearly' Dr. Caffe examines for an instant whether embalol - ,. ing might not be resorted to on a large scale ; but he soon discards the idea, on reflecting that such a practice would involve the necessity of constructing' vast subterranean receptacles, which would in a short time exceed the cities of the living. Crema tion, therefore, is the only alternative besides inhumation. The Greeks, the Romans, and the Gauls used to burn their dead—why should not we? This practice is not contrary to any moral or religious principle, for the first Christians them selves used thus to dispose of their dead; and if the Fathers of the Church objected to it, it was solely because polytheistic superstitions were at that tims connected with the custom. Dr. Caffe next con siders how the cremation of the dead could be effected. To burn the bodies on funereal piles like the ancients would in our days be a far too costly. process ; but we have other and better means 01 attaining the same end. Let a large edifice, which might be called a sarcophebe (purifier of the body) be erected on some elevated point of the town ; let the body be laid on a metallic plate, and slid into a' furnace, there to be incinerated in a short time; The ashes might then be colleted into an urn, a° returned to the family. All this process might b e effected with the usual solemnities. 8 THE NEW JUDGE OF THE ADMIRALTY COURT.-1 Sir Robert John Phillimore, Q.C., who has been appoiu t r, Judge of the Court of Admiralty in the room of the Big' Hon.
