John, Clarke, Frederick Vinen, Esq., and Christopher Codringto' Jamaica. The chief origin a tors of thi s C'Jrnpany are persons who have long lived in the West Indies, 'and acquired great experience as to the capabilities of thos e colonies, especially Jamaica, to produce an abundant suppl' fr of good and cheap cotton. Oh servatirin and experience convince them that if the landed propitefors in that count ry, the capitalists in England, the marndacturers of Lancas hire, and the friends of freedom generally, can be brought., Into harmonious co - operation, an d Weir energies are directed to the growth of cotton, first in Jamaica, and atterwarels in Guiana, Trinidad, and Domiy dca, we shall soon be independeJat of the slave States of America, and obtain a sufficient supply of good cotton by m,camt of free labourers. It is, therefore, intended to set on foot wit'flout delay an experiment in Jamaica, the extent, probable, cost, and pro ceeds of which, together witJ'i a map of a Ja•maica estate, and the opinions on the subject of many very distinguish ed states men, capitalists, and manufacturers, will be furnished to ap plicants, in a detailed prospectus, at 55, Cb aring - -cross, -- L on don ; at Messrs. Thomas Clegg', Clare, a',id Co.'s, I, Mount street, Manchester; or at 31r. Wm. C:ftater's, Lowestoft, Suffolk, to either of whom application, for shares should be forthwith made. _ The amount of shares already subs cribed is somewhat less than the sum necessary to insure ' L he success of an experi ment with only 500 acres of land (' ,which will be X 5,00 0 1; and in case no more than this should be subscribed, the experi ment will be commenced at orlce, on this scale. Cotton to a considerable extent is now be'in',.; sown in Jamaica, in antici pation of the operations of the Company, and it is believed that new cotton from thenci.! will be in the market before the Ist of August next.

'The Dividend will be payable on and after the 18th instant. THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S " GOVERNMENT' UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES." The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive, intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully examined in J.

Just published, Bvo, in cl o th , pr i ce 58., by post free, ss. 6d., ON THE SUCCESSFUL T REATMENT of STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be removed by the most simple means. By P. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatm en t of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social philosophers to solve.

Yesterday a blue-book of 280 pages, containing correspondence respecting recont events in China, was issued from the Parliamentary Printing-office. The more important of these documents have been published from time to time in the Gazette. The following despatch of Lord John Russell to the Earl of Elgin, dated the 16th ultimo, is, however, new : pi an 4D . STAMPED, SD. PRUSSLCIV CHAMBER. " Foreign Office, Jan. 16, 1861. "My Lord,—l have received and laid before the Queen your Excellency's despatches to that of the 17th of November inclusive, reporting your pro ceedings at Pekin subsequently to the restoration of peace ; and I am to acquaint y.ou that her Majesty entirely approves of your eon duct as ex plained in these despatches. "Her Majesty's Government trust till t the per sonal intercourse which you have had with Vac, Prince Kung will have a salutary effect •on th e future relations between this country and' China; and they greatly commend the measures wb ich you took on introducing Mr. Bruce to the Pri uc e, to impress the Prince with a due sense of the 'n ipor. tent functions which that gentleman will 'Fence forth have to discharge in China. " The publication of the treaty and convent ion, in the formal manner described by your Excellet icy, was a well .devised measure to ensure the ',real state of the case being generally known by .the population of Pekin, so that no question way hereafter arise as to the circumstances under which those engagements were concluded, or as to the nature of the obligations contracted by the Em peror of China. "Her Majesty's Government further consider that you rightly advised:Mr. Bruce to defer fixing his residence at Pekin until the spring ; but there is no reason why a British Ambassador ehould not • reside in the Chinese capital as free from molests.. 5:444,1 - ',. ' tion, and in the enjoyment of the same honour, privileges, and facilities, as an ambassador of the Emperor of Russia; and while her Majesty's Go vernment do not anticipate that any inconvenience will result from the temporary delay in the esta blishment of the British mission within the walls of Pekin, neither do they apprehend that when the season arrives for Mr. Bruce's residence in the capital he will be subject to any hindrance on the part of the Chinese authorities. " I am glad to take this opportunity to instruct your Excellency to convey to Mr. Wade, to Mr. Parkes, and to all the gentle men, whether belonging to your own imme diate establishment or to those under the supervi sion of Mr. Bruce, whose talents and exertions have been called into action during the late events in China, her Majesty's Government's entire approval of their conduct in the several capacities in which your excellency has seen occasion to employ them, and their hearty acknowledgment of the zealousl and able manner in which they appear uniformly to have executed your Excellency's instructions, regardless of any danger or inconvenience to which, in doing so, they might be exposed. " I am, &c., " J. RUSSELL!' An event has taken place which may, perhaps, change the whole course of German policy. the Prussian Chamber has, by a majority of 159 to 146, resolved that " it is not in the interest of Prussia or Germany to place obstacles in the way of the con solidation of the unity of Italy." In spite of the opposition of Baron Schleinitz and the retrograde party, which voted with him on this occasion, the first deliberative body in Germany has given a check to the warlike inclinations of the Courts, great and small, Such an incident at the beginning of a new reign cannot be without its effect. It shows that the Sovereigns have to deal with something more than the feeble discontent which vents itself in sneers and epigrams. Germany has begun to feel that representative institutions have not been given to her in vain, and that by a due use of them she may gain the direction of her own affairs and insure the public honour and prosperity. Prussia has been so long reproached with vacil lation that one may well fancy a spirited Prince anxious to assert his vigour of mind by taking resolutions without waiting to prove their wisdom. King William I. may be subject to the dangerous fear of being thought afraid. Daring the late King's life Prussian statesmen always.fancied there was a good reason against every possible course of action, and the result was that the State remained inactive when there were the best opportunities of asserting a high position in Europe. It would almost seem as if the new King, smarting under the censures which had been cast on his brother's policy, was determined to do something which should convince . Europe -that %Prisfielft,: $r at P9I er, and has a Prince capable of directing,its strength. Scarcely was he seated on the Throne than the question of Schleswig and Holstein was reopened, and a little State filling a most useful part in the economy of Europe has been so rudely threatened that the Danish people are preparing for the worst, and the capital echoes with an " impress of ship wrights," making the still respectable navy of Den mark ready for sea. We should be glad, however, to think that an onslaught on Denmark is the greatest error of which King William is capable. Although nothing can be more visionary than the grievances of the Germans, and nothing more extravagant than their claims on the Danish monarchy, yet in mak ing himself their spokesman the King of Prussia is at least acting a national part. His subjects have been persuaded that they have fellow-countrymen beyond the Eider, and that those fellow-countrymen are ill-treated; the pressure has come from below, and the Court may be excused for yielding to it. But a far more serious danger threatens the Prus sian State from sympathies in which the people have no share. As long as the late King lived the Regent thought it becoming to conceal or repress his own political feelings, and consequently Austria has been left to fight her own battles. But even in 1859 the Regent was on the point of interfering, and every good Prussian has been encouraged to believe that France concluded a peace through fear of the invincible legions which would have been marched against her northern frontier. It is pro bably true that the decision of Prussia had consi derable influence on the course of events, and if so, we may be sure that Napoleon 111. is not the man to forget the favour. However that may be, we have heard King William make a heroic speech about the conflict for which Prussia is to be prepared, and it is easy enough to perceive that in high quarters at Berlin there reigns an exaltation which may at any time leaf to some foolish act, to be followed by deplorable consequences. In averting such a calamity the resolution of M. von Vincke, carried against the whole power of Government in the debate on the Address, is likely to be most useful. For almost the first time we find the Liberal party in Germany using the forms of the British Constitution to a good purpose. They have learnt much from the experience of the last few years. In common with the party of progress all over Europe, they have been chastised by every kind of suffering and failure. Their political educa tion has been long and difficult, but it is now almost complete. So, instead of holding a congress to debate on the true conception of a nationality, the Prussian Liberals have taken their places in the Legislature to protect the one nationality which is really labouring to establish itself. The blow dealt by this vote of the Chamber of Deputies will fall heavily on many a Royal and Ducal Cabinet in Ger many. The eight and-thirty Courts which divide the country have but one idea of union, and that is a-union of-armies. If one of them, the most selfish or capricious of the number, were in distress the other thirty-seven would willingly fly to its assist ance, if such a term may be used to express the august motion of a princely House. Now, for two years past the Courts have been talking much about the unity of Germany, the sacredness of German soil, and the necessity of an access to that noto riously German sea, the Adriatic. What has been the motive of all this patriotism which has filled the speeches of illustrious personages and the columns of Government newspapers? Simply that family alliances and dynastic sympathies have ex cited the Courts strongly in favour of the dispos sessed Italian Sovereigns and their protector, the Emperor of Austria. It is only within the last two , or three years that the famous theory has been elaborated that the safety of Germany requires the subjection of a part of Italy. We should never have heard of it had not the Sovereigns of Naples and Tuscany, as well as the Emperor of Austria, been united by close bonds with the leading families of the Confederation. The overthrow of these rulers, and the success of one who is looked upon as a traitor to his order, have had more to do with warlike propensities of the German Sovereigns than any danger to be apprehended from Italy or even France. The Bavarian Court, as most nearly allied to the Austrian and Italian families, has taken the lead in extravagance, much against the real wishes of the people, who, though good Catholics, attached to their own Government, and ready to defend it against any real danger from beyond the Rhine, are in no mood to be taxed and slaughtered in defence of Austria. The royal family of Saxony is very little behind that of Bavaria in zeal for the cause of despotism. The press as is proved by the present vote represents but indifferently the opinion of the nation. The difficulties and dangers of a liberal journal are such that even in the most enlightened cities the voice of opposition is weak. The Courts have made a kind of bombastic patriotism the fashion, and the press has aided their endeavours, so that it seemed not unlikely that the nation might be led away to support the worst of causes iv a region with which they have nothing to do. Every Englishman will rejoice to find that the Prussian people have not been deceived. They know the power and ambition of France, and, should it be necessary, they will, no doubt, stand by their Princes, foremost among whom is King William I. But they can distinguish between a real national danger and such a bugbear as has been presented to them by the ruling families. The policy of Austria has been to entangle Prussia by an engagement to support her in the next Italian War. The argu ment by which the Emperor's demands were justi fied would be hardly worth notice had it not proved to be successful even with the new King of Prussia. Germany, it is said, must be defended by the line of the Mincio, and the Quadrilateral is as strictly a system of federal fortresses as any that exists On the Rhine. But against whom is Germany to be defended on the Mincio ? What enemy, if once established in Venetia, would burst through the Tyrol ?It is the Italian people—a race hitherto the most unwarlike in Western Europe, and now desir ous only to put the Alps between itself and the alien t armies which occupy its country. The pretext tbhia a free Italy would threaten Germany is as PalP s a ji false as that by which Napoleon annexed ru Nice last year.

German Courts. 7 (Signed) ESSAYS AND REVIEWS. We have received from Derby a " Declaration. and Protest" of the Church of England Clerical and Lay Association for the Maintenance of Evan gelical Principles in the Midland District, in which the recent volume of " Essays and Reviews" is condemned as mischievous, heretical, and having a tendency to undermine belief in all the most essen tial truths of religion. Three quarto pages are devoted to extracts from the work, designed to support the verdict pronounced, and four more contain the names of those who have signed. the declaration. There are more than three hundred signatures ; a very large proportion, if not the greater number, being those of the clergy. The first name is that of the president of the association, Sir Matthew Blakiston, Bart., Sandibrook-hall s followed by those of Mr. T. P Bainbrigge and Mr. Henry Cox, magistrates of Derby; Mr. T. H. Leary, head-master of the grammar school ; Dr. W. Ogle ; Mr. Rowland Smith, hanker ; the Rev. Sir Christopher Lightfoot, Bart. ; Sir Oswald Moseley, Bart., &c. All the subscribers ate not. members of the association, but some add their names as expressing their concurrence in its state ments and protest.. The paper concludes with an appeal to the bishops, heads of colleges, principals of theological institutions, and all others occupying positions of authorit3 in the Church or in schools, to consider the dangerous character of the publi cation, and to direct against it in their respective spheres of duty such special action as may be most effectual to counteract its pernicious influence. .A memorial to the Archbishop of Canterbury against. the same volume has just been adopted at a meeting of the clergy of the deaneries of Kimpton and Blockley, in the diocese of Worcester. An address to the archbishop is also receiving signatures in. the diocese of Oxford. On the other hand, doubts are expressed in some quarters as to the advisability of arousing so much. attention to a work, and engaging in its perusal minds unprepared for its study. A correspondent of this opinion writes to our High Church contem porary, the Guardian, this week : " My own adventures the other day in the streets of a remarkably decorous and unexcited cathedral town have led me to these reflections. I had occa sion to call on the principal brewer, an active and intelligent man of business, and a good churchman. Five minutes had not elapsed before he led the conversation to the Essays and Reviews,' a work which, it appeared, he had eagerly devoured in consequence of the tumult that was being raised against it, and with which he professed himself highly delighted. I sauntered thoughtfully up the street, and could not resist refreshing my orthodoxy by breathing the air of a long-established book shop, the S.P.C.K. depository, and the very focus of everything churchmanlike and respectable in the town. What was my surprise to see several copies of the same inevitable volume lying on the counter, and to learn that four or five had been sold that very afternoon ! Now, I ask, whose fault is it that these delicate and difficult problems are being thus wrested from the hands which ought to deal with them, and placed in the hands of people necessarily unacquainted with the first principles of theological science ? 'Whose fault is it if a profession already seriously denuded of men of ability and learning bids fair to deter altogether from its service those who value free thought and fair discussion ? And whose fault is it if a question of the deepest inte rest and of the most vital importance, and on which_ much fresh light has providentially been thrown of late, is relegated back to darkness and doubt amid o anathemas and protests, such as, in an edarelrietro de clare of e Church, induced a heathen 3' savage Christian divines to nothing r he could liken the religious beansatatronthveersies of conflicts of wild beasts in the e amph i the atreth. hat the time On the other hand it may be workthe by ignoring for limiting the influence of ?" its opinions is past, and the nu mber of the lay sub scribers who have s i g ned the Midland Counties' p o.t w ithout a deliberate and con scientiousof the work they condemn, rotest, of e e x o a u m rs i e n countenances this view.

DEATH OF LOLA NIONTLZ.—HER LASTMOM Lola Alontez is dead—really dead this time; and the New York Evening Post gives the following edifying account of her death:—The last moments of Lola l‘lontez offered a singular Contrast to her earlier career. For sr:me time she has been very ill at Astoria, and professed the heartiest penitence for the manner in which her life had been spent. About four weeks ago the Rev. Dr. Hawkes was requested to call on her, and he did so. He found her with her Bible open to the story of the Magdalen, and she expressed to her visitor her sincere anxiety in regard to her future welfare. At the sable time she was hopeful. " I can forget my French, my German, ray everything," she said, " but I cannot forget Christ." Before she died she purchased the little plot in Greenwood where she is now buried. On her coffin was a plate with the simple inscription—" Mrs. Eliza Gilbert, died January 17, 1861, aged 42 years."

Robinson has been appointed by the Admiralty as successor to Rear-Admiral Sir B. W. Walker, K.C.8., in his cffice as Controller of the Navy. The Immortalite, 51, screw, Capt. G. Hancock, sailed from Spithead at 11 a.m. yesterday for Lis bon, going out by the Nab, under close-reefed top sails, fore and main courses, jib and spanker. It is stated on good authority to be the intention of the Admiralty to cut down several of the largest and soundest line-of-battle ships, and convert them into plated steam batteries for the defence of our harbours and coasts, but more particularly with reference to the defence of Spithead. If the angu lated system be adopted they may prove far more efficient for their intended purpose than would the proposed stone forts on the Noman and Dean Shoals, which it has been proved by the evi dence taken before the National Defence Commis sion, would be totally unable to stop the passage in or out of Spithead of an iron-sided ship, would be some years in construction, and, when completed, would chiefly serve to mark the Channel for the passage of an enemy's fleet by day or by night. The Narcissus, 51, screw, flagship of Rear-Admi ral Sir B. W. Walker, K.C,8., the newly-appointed Commander-in-Chief at the Cape of Good Hope, will take her final departure for the Cape from Spithead. The Royal paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, on the occasion of her conveying the Empress of Aus tria to Madeira from Antwerp, sustained consider able injury to her paddle floats during the exceed ingly violent weather she experienced through out the . itrip, particularly on the outward voyage. Since she has been placed in dock at Portsmouth, where her floats have been unshipped and examined, it has become a question whether they could not be made from some more durable material than that which has been hitherto used—English oak. To ascertain this satisfactorily a series of tests have been tried at Portsmouth during the past few days, and the result appears to be that it will be difficult to supersede English oak with any other material more durable for the purpose. Each float of the yacht's paddle measures lift. 6in. in length by 4ft. 4in. in width, the wood being 4in. thick. One of these floats—a spare one—was tested. The others tested comprised two new ones of the same wood —English oak, one of American oak, and one of wrought-iron, the latter being plates rivetted to gether with a space between. The mode of testing was by placing the float with its two ends resting on balks of timber. Across the centre of the float, transversely, ran a bar of iron four inches square, from which was suspended the weights for trying the float's resisting powers. The American oak broke at 32 tons. The wood forming this float was of the finest character and most even grain, and without a ksiot in any part.. One of the new Eng lish oak floats broke at 28 tons, and the other at 1 24 tons. These floats were much weakened by having iron plates on their surface, each containing nine or ten bolt holes. The one that broke at 28 tons, had it been without this iron plate and its ac companying bolt holes, would doubtless have stood as great a strain as the American oak. The Victoria and Albert's spare float broke at 21 tons, and the wrought-iron one broke at 19 tons. Had the last mentioned one stood a favourable test the galvanic action that must be constantly going on between a vessel's wheel floats composed of iron and the cop per on her bottom would prove an insurmountable bar to its adoption. Tn accordance with orders received from the Adiniralt y, the whole of the mechanics and artisans at Chatham dockyard yesterday resumed the sys tem of day work, the arrangements for job and task work, introduced a few years during the busy period, having been abolished. The officers holding acting appointments also resumed their former positions. The Lords of the Admiralty having decided on extending the Royal Marine barracks at Chatham, so as to afford accommodation for several hundred additional officers and men the present barrack buildings will be enlarged at a cost, including the purchase land, of about £70,000, and a considerable portion of which sum has already been voted in the Navy Estimates presented to , the House of Commons last Session. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Edward F. Young, acting 3d class assistant-engineer, to the Cumberland, for temporary charge of the Lee; C. A. Pritchard, paymaster, to be secretary to Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.B. ; Charles H. Wells, assistant paymaster of the Narcissus, to be secre tary's clerk; J. Robinson, assistant.paymaster, to the Narcissus; Francis H. Chown, assistant-pay master, to be secretary's clerk, in the Princess Royal; and Thomas Backhouse, assistant-pay master, additional, to the Princess Royal. shall be admitted into the Southern Union unless it is slaveholding, and if it should subsequently abolish slavery it shall be excluded.—Laid on the table. A resolution was also offered relative to a direct Southern trade ; also that commissioners be sent to the slaveholding States. Objection was made to including Delaware. An ordinance was offered abolishing Federal and establishing State Courts ; also continuing in force Federal laws under control of the State ; also declaring what shall constitute treason ; also concerning citizenship. An ordinance was adopted relative to the oaths of lawyers. An ordinance was passed resuming State authority over territory ceded to the United States. The State sentries posted at Charleston had fired into a boat from Fort Sumter. The Senate of South Carolina had passed a tax bill, which provides for an increased tax of 20 per cent. over the year 1859, to meet the demand of 1,500,000 dols. necessary for all South Carolina's purposes. Treasury notes were issued for 700,000 dols. and bills receivable of the State for 350,090 dols. for military contin gencies. The House of Representatives had ap pointed a committee to inquire what changes were necessary in the banking system and currency in South Carolina in consequence of the change in its postal relations. The Catawba Indians had offered their services to South Carolina as a military com pany, and Governor Pickens had accepted them. Governor Pickens had replied to the Postmaster 'General's letter;=inqqirisig-wilothet; Major Ander son and his command would be allowed free com munication with the postoffice at Charleston. He states that an arrangement existed by which the correspondence for Fort Sumter was regularly de livered, and access was given to supplies, which was entirely satisfactory to Major Anderson; that no espionage was exercised over the correspondence, and that on only two occasions were his official letters detained, and then without any violation of their privacy; that Major Anderson had not 'had free communication with the post-office because his presence, or that of any part of his command, might involve a collision, in the excited state of public feeling in the city. He takes high ground for maintaining the rights of South Carolina in her independent attitude, but protests a very earnest desire for peace. The fortification of the harbours of Charleston was being vigorously proceeded with. The agents of the Savannah line of steamers tele graphed on the 25th to New York from Savannah as follows The seirure of arms from the steamer Monticello causes great excitement here. Can you get them back ? We fear retaliation. It is rumoured that Federal troops have been ordered to the armoury to prevent an apprehended attack for the recovery of the muskets recently seized." The buoys in the harbour of Mobile had been removed. From Florida we learn that at Pensacola volunteers were engaged in mounting and ranging cannons, carpenters were making scaling-ladders, and the utmost bustle prevailed. The Wyandotte was anchored west of Fort Pickens, under her guns, and it was supposed she would assist Lieut. Slimmer in defence. The pilots had been notified that they might bring Government vessels into the harbour if they bore a flag of truce. Fort M'Rae was being occupied and the guns manned by the allied forces of Florida, Alabama, and, Mississippi. The surveying schooner Dana had been seized by the authorities of St. Augustine, Florida, while the commander was absent en an expedition in connexion with his duties. The Governor of Mississippi had caused batteries to be erected near Vicksburg to command the passage of the Mississippi river, and every boat from north of Mason and Dixon's line was compelled to stop and submit to an examination. The South Carolina Convention was discussing the proposal to send commissioners to the Montgomery Convention. There was considerable opposition to it. In the Louisiana Convention, assembled at Baton Rouge on the, 224..the_Governor's_ essage _was __Ho_ remarks :- " Our enemies will find that throughout Louisiana we are one people—one in heart, one in mind, and are not to be cajoled into an abandonment of our rights, and not to be subdued. All hopes are at an end that the dissensions between the North and South can be healed. All the propositions of moderate men have been contemptuously rejected, and the cry of the North is for coercion. There is no longer a doubt of the wisdom of the policy which demands that the conflict shall come and be settled now." On the 24th the Committee of Fifteen reported an ordinance on secession', also resolutions relative to the navigation of the Mississippi. The resolu tion of thanks to the Governor for his prompt action in the seizure of the forts of Louisiana created quite a discussion, a member wishing to know what authority the Governor had for such a high-handed measure, and saying he was not prepared to censure or thank him until the necessity of the step was shown. The Governor's message was here received, when a motion to read that portion relative to the seizure of the forts elicited further warm discussion and much confusion, when the resolution finally passed-118 against 5. On the 25th, the Committee of Fifteen reported an ordinance dissolving all con nexion with the United States, but all treaties, acts of Congress, &e., not incompatible with the ordi nance of secession, aro to remain in force; also recognising the right of ingress and egress to and from the mouth of the Mississippi river by all friendly States, and declaring the willingness of Louisiana to enter into stipulations or guarantees for the exercise of those rights. The Convention would probably adjourn to New Orleans. Vera Cruz advices to the 10th ult. report that some of Miramon's principal officers, including his Minister of Foreign Relations, had been captured by Indians ; also, that Miramon himself had been taken, but subsequently escaped, after killing three Indians. President Juarez departed from Vera Cruz on the sth for the capital to establish a Liberal Government. THE HUNTING SEASON IN WARWICKSHIRE. — The Leamington Courier reports that the sports of the hunt ing season in Warwickshire, which had been interrupted by the recent severe frost, have been resumed with an eagerness and vigour which prove that the lovers of the chase are fully resolved to make up for the time they had lost. The several "meets" are, as heretofore, well at tended; and the sports for which the county enjoys an enviable fame continue to realise the expectations of the numerous visitors who delight in the exercise of horseman ship. _ _ CADVERTISIMENT.I—We have read with much pleasure Du Barry's report of the cures without medicine by Du Barry's food.

He understood that his colleague made some other observation which did not reach his ear. It was now for him to say at first, as well as at last, the position which he conceived it his duty to take in this national emer gency was taker lielibetateirtintwith-the expec tation that he would be subject to personal defa mation. If his colleague's remarks was intended to give offence he pardoned him for the reason he was now labouring under a physical infirmity with a reeking wound received in a personal encounter. If his colleague had a like fracture in his thigh bone, and had been crippled for two and a half years, he would find a bullet not a comfortable sensation. (Laughter.)
