The Red Sea and India Telegraph Company, upon the guarantee of her Majesty's Government of 41- per cent. per an num for fifty years, have expended .f. 500,000 in laying a cable between Suez and Kurrachee. Office of the Gas Light and Coke Company, Horseferry-road, Westminster, loth October, 1801. T.DO HEREBY GIVE NOTICE , That , pur suant to the Bth By-Law of this Company, ,TOIIN WILLIAM. SLOPER.

E. TENNENT'S NEW IVORIC. ON CEYLON. On Thursday; "Nov. 7, will be published, in .1 vol. post Svo., with numerous Illustrations engravzd on WoOd from Original Drawings, 2. Every section of this line worked satisfactorily for a period of several months, and the whole line carried through messages between Kurrachee and Suez for several days. Faults subsequently occurred in several of the . sections, which have never been repaired. 3. The Government have agreed to transfer the line, sta tions, and properly of the Company to a new Company, to be formed for the purpose, on very liberal terms. These are in substance— lst. That the cables, land-lines, instruments, stations, concessions, &c., belonging to the old Company shall be made over to the new Company, free from charge. 2d: That the new Company shall use their best endea vours to repair the line and to work it when completed, beginning with the line between Aden and Kurrachee and are - to have possession so soon as two-thirds of the capital is subscribed, and one-third paid up, and asuit able vessel despatchod with not less than 200 miles of new cable ou board Pd. That the new Company shall be entitled to a clear dividend out of the profits to 25 per cent. per annum on the money paid up. And the Government is to have the power to repurchase the line on repaying the capital expended, at the expiration of 30 years. 9th. That any surplus profits shall be applied to reirn bin se he Government for the interest they have paid and will have to pai annually upon the .rit;inal expended; after which any further profits which may ~s ttacre A tion,offt:reterxefund min. ano accounts of the company will be audited at the Treasury half-yearly. After the restoration of the line any outlay of capital to be subject to the approval of Government ; and the Government is to have the right (subject to arbitration) of' disallowing working expen diture which they may consider excessive. 6th. In the event of the failure of the Company to restore or maintain the line in working order the Government are to have the power of taking it into their hands again on repaying the capital actually expended by the new Company. Should the Government not exercise this right the Company are to be at liberty to dispose of the property to reimburse their outlay, the balance, after defraying the actual expenditure, to be handed over to the Government. Failure is to be defined to be the non-working of the line from end to end after reason able allowance of time for restoration. 7th. All differences between the Government and the Company to be decided by arbitration. Bth. This arrangement' presupposes the concurrence of the Shareholders of the old Company in the terms pro • posed to them by her Majesty's Government ; any Pap liamentary powers necessary to give effect to these arrangements are to be obtained by her Majesty's Go- ver.nment. 4. Of the vast importance, in a national point of view, of telegraphic communication with the British dominions in India, there can be but one opinion ; and now that the com munication is complete from London to Suez, and through out all India by Kurrachee, it is impossible that the matter can be left in its present condition, and the wanting link unsupplied. 5. The grounds which commend the subject as a specula tion are these :--XBOO,OOO has been expended in laying a line which for a time was perfectly successful. This line will be handed over to the Company, free of all charge or liability. No attempt has as yet been made to restore the commu nication between .Aden and Kurrachee. On the other hand, the Company's superintendent, Mr. Brunton, has expressed a confident opinion that the faults are many of them very trifling, and all capahle of repair. This view is confirmed by fhe opinions of Sir Charles Bright and Mr. Latimer Clark, who have been consulted on the subject. in one of the sections, of nearly 500 miles, there has never been any fault, and those which do exist in the other sections are believed to be in shallow water. An estimate has been made by Messrs. Bright and Clark of the cost of repairing the line between Aden and Kurrachee, which they consider can be effected for a sum not exceeding £50,000. The venture is small, while the returns will be on the scale of an original expenditure of £BOO,OOO. C. It is proposed to limit the first operations to the repair , of the line between Aden and Kurrachee, When this is , effected the period of a message to all parts of India will be abridged to five days. This will be not only a vast public object, but there is no doubt, from the experience of the line when partially open, that the number of messages will be very great. 7. When this Eastern division has been completed there will remain only that between Suez and Aden, which can un doubtedly be made good by restoration of the existing cable, in whole or in part. If it should be decided to make any part of it a land line, it can be done at comparatively small Cost. ' S. The intention is, as soon as the capital, or a sufficient amount has been subscribed, to dispatch a steamer with 200 miles of new cable, so as to complete the communication up to Aden early in 1562. Forms of application for shares and information may be obtained at the Offices, or from the Company's Brokers, Messrs. Knight and Coleman, No. 1, Royal Exchange-build ings.

TOZEAU'S COPAHINE, or SACCHARATED CAPSULES.—Copaiba and Cubeba are doubtless the best remedies, but these drugs are of a repulsive taste and odour, and occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric dis turbance.

This preparation has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Medicine, after more than a thousand trials in Paris and the different Lon don hospitals, viz., St. mhomas's, Guy's, and St. Bartholo mew's, under the care of Messrs.

The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tisingwith false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries and render judicious treatment frequently abortive: ,The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner wh ose n ame stands on the Medical R eg i s t er (th e only true test o f sively medical qualification), who has 'been exclu sively for a series of years in the treatment of the various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive science, em which, are ._ °wino. - and easy mod e of treadt to the great discoveries of modern render A t home for con sultniastuet n b ent s . ervient to a rational, simple , or b till 8, either personally by letterl fi:_o m 37 ,1 B O e t d i l f l o r 2 d , - a s and a f i r . e o . m 6 --- $, GREAT NIARL-Ro----- OWITI i., T R -STREE EAR T, W., --- TAE PANTITEON, TIR: CULVERWELL, Member of the Royal I ICollege of Surgeons, Licentiate of Itidwifery, and Apo thcario' Halt, London, can be consulted daily (only) as v, on all cases of Nervous Debility, Languor, Incapacity, 31emory, Sterility, and all Functional Derangements emanating from early and _excessive indul rb,oosstoht sexes, of bo th ClloCal Has Just published, 18 prim eale m eal by po e t, i s stamps; sd, No. 4, and ori - inal Work, entitled new OURSELVES.

W. Packe, M.P., Mr. E. B. Hartopp, M.P., Sir G. Palmer, Mr. W. P. Herrick, Mr. J. Storey, the Rev. R. J. Bunch, Mr. E. C. Middleton, Mr. J. Martin, Mr. S. B. Wild, &c. In the afternoon a dinner was served up in the Bull's Head Hotel, Mr. C. W. Packe, M.P., presiding. The customary loyal toasts having been given, Lord J. MANNERS, M.P., proposed " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocess, ' which, he observed, was a toast that could never be proposed in any assemblage of English farmers without meeting with a most hearty and cordial reception. He be lieved that there was no great, good, and beneficial object connected with the welfare of any com- munity in this country which did not find its warmest supporters in the parochial clergy. (Cheers.) The same remark might apply to the clergy of all times and of all places, but it was especially true of the English clergy of the present day. (Hear.) They had all witnessed, in every part of the country, with the greatest pride and satisfaction, the renovation of the material fabric of our churches. He, for one, never looked at any great work of church restoration without feeling that it, after all, only symbolized the great renova tion and restoration which had taken place in the inner life of the Church. Speaking, however, as he was, to an agricultural assemblage, he would confine himself on the present occasion to those two or three more salient points on which the beneficent influence of the English clergy had of late years made itself felt in this country. They all knew, for statistical returns in abun dance proved the truth of the assertion, that at the present moment the state of national education in England, satisfactory as it was, was mainly owing to the untiring zeal and the pecuniary self-devotion of the clergy of the English Church. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It had trans pired, in the course of recent investigations, that the clergy were paying far more than a fair pro portion of their means for the education of the children of the humbler classes. (Cheers.) Then, again, what had they done in regard to the re vivals which bad taken place of late years, and which were still going on—the revival and im provement of those old English festivals, harvest homes? (Hear.) Wherever those revivals had taken place, it would be found that the clergyman of the parish had played the most important part. There was no necessity for dilating on other matters in which the influence of the clergyman had been advantageously felt. Every person connected with a rural population knew full well that in all good works, among all classes, the parish clergyman oc cupied the foremost place. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) In speaking to a Loughborough assemblage he knew that no argument was necessary to recom mend the toast, inasmuch as they were fully aware that in the present bishop of the diocess they had a Loughborough man. (Cheers.) He begged to propose the health of the bishop and clergy of the diocess, coupled with the name of the Rev. Mr. Bunch, the rector of Loughborough. The Rev. R. S. BUNCH briefly responded to the toast. Mr. WILD next gave " The Health of the Army, Navy, and Rifle Volunteers," to which Mr. PICK WORTH, a corporal in the Loughborough Volun teers, responded. " The Health of the Lord Lieutenant, the Duke of Rutland," having been drunk with cheers, and Lord J. MANNERS having briefly responded, The CHAIRMAN gave " Prosperity to the Lough borough Agricultural Association. ' He congra tulated them upon holding their present anniver sary under very different auspices from the last. Last year the prospects of the farmers were gloomy and depressed, in consequence of the very unfavourable season they had passed through, but this year it had pleased a munificent Providence to bless them with a succession of the most beau tiful weather for housing their crops. With re gard to the association itself, he trusted that it might long continue to confer the g reatbenefits upon agricultural labourers which it had hitherto con ferred, The agriculturists prided themselves upon being enabled to say that they took more care of those they employed than any other class of her pr Majesty's Touhd e position.toast su h b j a e v c i t n s (g . c hb ( ee l e - l ern e s. a r, hear, and cheers.) He trusted they would long continue to occupy that ) drunk with great enthu siasia' Mr. HERRICK proposed " The Health of the Mem bers for the Northern Division of the County, Lord S. Manners and Mr. Hartopp." Whatever diffe rences of opinion might exist upon oli w tic e a r l e m a a l tte a rs s , t r h ea e dy ag t r e ic d u e lt h u e r n is e t a s r o ti f en Leicestershire e i cswtaehnhs political e i v v e private. e t . h e ( m C h t e w e r t e ) best of their , ability withlNNEßg sr ea l\i t c'Phe"eroinnaprinsinegsatiod,r—eslpobnedg, t w o aL t s h or a re n de k eSi y ;e o lVid u, gentlemen, for the great compliment you have been pleased to pay me as one of the mem bers for the northern division of this county. This is the first time that I have been able to attend the meeting of the Loughborough Agricultural Asso ciation since I had the honour to become one of your representatives in Parliament, and I assure you that great as is the pleasure I have received from what I witnessed in the show-field to-day, and what I have heard at this convivial board this eve ning, the presence of several gentlemen of the press in my immediate contiguity somewhat damps that courage and ardour which under other circum stances might have induced me to endeavour to go over the oratorical fences which lie in my way. (Laughter.) No one who has been in the habit of reading the new s p a p ers for the last six or eght weeks can have failed to be struck by the remark able fact that in nearly every paper there appears a column or two headed "Lord So.and-so," or "Mr. So-and.so, on public affairs." (Laughter.) If the curiosity of the reader of the journal induces him to cast his eye over these columns in . order to see )vlaat Lord So-and-so or Nr, SO•al1C1•50 has been saying, he will perceive at once that they are mere agricultural speeches made at agricultural dinners, which have been dignified and honoured by being treated in the way I have described. Now, though flattering and complimentary to the speakers, I am bound to say that a reflection of that sort is anything but agreeable when ono rises to re turn thanks. (Cheers.) At the present moment, there is, most fortunately, a decided. dull in everything approaching party, politics and Party agitation, and I suppose it is in consequence of this complete and decided lull that we have these copious references to the unfortunate speeches of unfortunate agricul tural members. (Laughter an cheers.) Polities; as we have already been told i 4 the course of the evening, are most properly and rigorously excluded i from your meetings, a n d, a pers q n like myself being totally incompetent t o add res smeeting like this with any effect upon p ure l y ag icultural matters, the unpleasant question occurs t my mind, " What am Ito say in return f or th e co pliment you have been pleased to pay me ?" (Laughter.) With cautious tread I must retrace tac dull path which Mr. Hartopp and myself trod during the last session of Parliament, and carefully andlingerly avoiding any reference which may savour of pure party politics, I must endeavour to discover, if I can, if there was anything done or attempted to be done in Parliament last session whieWevas calculated to influence in any material degree the agricultural interests of the country. Polio "ng that course, in the first place I must congratul our worthy and excellent chairman that no Agri ltural Statistics Bill was proposed. (Laughter, a d cheers.) Well, t i gentlemen, it is true we had a H hway Bill, which I suppose would have interaged influenced the; fortunes of English farmers cons erably ; but that bill was dropped. Therefore I can say nothing about it. (Laughter.) Then we h a bill for facili tatingt the erection of agricultura ; cottages—a most admirable and laudable object ut, as that bill didn't pass into a law, perhaps 'may be excused from saying anything about it. 'Then we had a bill which did become law.— *bill, I have no - 1, doubt, directed to the best p Bible object, and an object which I sincerely tru will be attained by it—l mean the bill called ,the Irremovable Poor Bill. (Hear, hear.) The ject of that bill, no doubt, was to increase the eine of the labour of the poor man, and to raise im in the social condition which he occupies. sincerely trust that, whatever differences of opini n were expressed during the progress of that bill th ani gh Parliament, 1 these great and laudable ends,i, will be carried into effect, and that we shall see fear after year the social condition of the English asant raised and improved. (Hear, hear, and che rs.) I have said that the Agricultural Statistics 8.11 was not heard pc of during the past session of Parliament, but al though that was the case, and although great dif ferences of opinion undoubtedly existed as to the best means for procuring agricultural statistics, 1 think every one in this room will admit that it is of the greatest importance to farmers, no less than to other classes of the community—but principally to farmers—that they should, if possible, know in time the recourse which may be obliged to be had for the necessary supply of corn. (Hear, hear.) Last year we are told on the highest authority that not less than 40 millions of money were sent out of this country in order to purchase corn for the con sumption of the people. (Hear, hear.) We are witnessing at the present moment the terribly evil results which follow from a dependence on foreign countries for a supply of the raw material for any one of our great industries. (Hear, hear.) And if, in addition to that slackness of labour and that di minution, if not cessation, of wages in the cotton districts which I fear we must regard as too pro bable during the ensuing winter, we should have to add an enormous drain of something like 30 or 40 millions of money for the purchase of corn, I say our prospects would indeed be most gloomy and alarming. (Hear, hear.) But, as the chairman has justly and righteously said, thanks to Almighty God we are not threatened with that second and greatest of dangers, and, owing to the harvest having been secured, we may hope to be spared that enormous drain on our resources for foreign corn. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I see in Ireland—where agricultural statistics are obtained—l see there, with some sur prise, that during the last ten years the breadth of land under wheat cultivation has very greatly di minished, and there are those who are good autho rities in that country who take rather a gloomy view of the state of things there in consequence of the great diminution of the breadth of land under wheat cultivation. (Hear, hear.) But, gentlemen, as I have said, our harvest in these islands has been on the whole a good harvest, though not equal to an average, and I trust we may look forward with hope and confidence as to the future. (Cheers.) I have said that this is the first time I have been able to attend a Loughborough agricultural meeting, but I can assure you that it was with the greatest pleasure and interest that I walked through the show-ground to-day, remembering that it was in the district of Loughborough that one of the great est improvements in one of the most material branches of farming operations sprung up. Using "alliteration's artificial aid," it was here that you I made mutton available for the million ; and I was glad to see in your show-yard to-day the beautiful specimen of a sheep of the old Leicestershire breed to which a prize was awarded. (Cheers.) It is impossible for me, as I havealready said, to presume to speak to you upon agricultural matters in an assembly such as that which I have the honour of addressing. I can only say that whenever any measure is introduced into Parliament affecting the interests of the agriculturists of the northern divi sion of Leicestershire it will be my pride and pleasure, so long as health is given to me, to attend to that measure, and do what I believe to be my 1 duty to my constituents. (Cheers.) So long as an English member of Parliament endeavours to do his duty to his constituents their kindness will in duce them to overlook any trifling shortcomings. I Allow me to thank you again for the manner in 1 which you have received the mention of my name this evening, but I cannot sit down without ex pressing my confidence, derived from the past—that is, in past struggles and in past difficulties—that it is the good feeling, the sympathy one for another, and the mutual forbearance which have been dis played among all classes that have carried the agri culturists of Leicestershire s ely through their difficulties. (Cheers.) A s f or the future should dangers arise, then hand i n h a an d h ear t i n h ear t i the different classes wh o comp e th e agr i cu lt ura l e, interest of this count r y w ill m fully face and sur mount them, and I sincerely treist that under the good Providence of God we may all look forward to the prosperous and happy condition of the farming of what I must, speaking in his room, term the district of Loughboroughshire. (Loud cheers.) Mr. HARTOPP, M.P., also acknowledged the toast. He said he could not expect from them that credit for the active performance of his Parliamen tary duties which his noble colleague could so justly claim. It was not, however, every member of Parliament who possessed -the abilities of his noble friend, or who could use 'them so eminently to the advantage of those who had honoured him with their confidence and the country at large. The only claim he could lay credit to was that he had endeavoured honestly to fulfil his duty. (Cheers.) He had attended regularly in his place in Parlia ment, and he had never given ti. vote upon any im portant measure without the flattest and most careful consideration. The number of nights which Par liament now sat during the session, and the length of the sittings, necessarily prevented a member from being among his constituents as frequently as he desired, and he knew there were many who thought they did not see their members as often as they had a right to expect., (Hear, hear.) He had attended the present meeting r with the great est satisfaction, and he con ratulated them on the excellence of their sho He also congratu lated them on the harvest.,` ith which it had pleased Providence to b e midland counties. He agreed with his noble friend that the harvest though good was not an average one, as in Scotland and Ireland there had been much rain, and it had been difficult to house the co . in proper order. In the western part of Ireland e wheat crop would Ise be an average, and in e he hardly thought t the hay was yet got in, but, at the same time, there was at present no ground for very great dissatis faction. Several other toasts were subsequently given, and the proceedings terminated. A VALIANT MATon.—As the Mayor of Newport was proceeding to his residence at Maindee, at a late hour, after the funeral of the Lord Lieutenant at Pontypool, he saw two fellows 'walking before him, one of whom, a tall man of colour, came up boldly and said him, "have you any money ?" " Yes, I have," Mr. Brown replied. " How much ?" " More than you and your friend could take from me," was the spirited rejoinder. " Oh, you are an officer, and are armed" (the mayor wearing his unform of an artil lery officer). "I am only armed by nature," said the mayor ; " you are rather bold and dangerous fellows, and had better take care you do not get into trouble." The mayor then called upon a tradesman, and reconnoitred the movements of the travellers, who ultimately proceeded to wards Chepstow, The report of the directors states that. ,the total traffic receipts for the year endirg 31st of August last amount to £15,102, to which is added £1,571 brought from the accounts of last year, making £16,673. From this is deducted £7,042 for working expenses and the rent of Aberdeen station, and £2,036 for interest on loans, leaving a balance of £7,595, out of which the directors recommend pay ment of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, leaving a reserve of L 1,657. The Deeside Railway Extension revenue account showed that the receipts for the year amounted to £5,327, to which is added £67 from the preceding account, making £5,394. From this is deducted : £3,338 for working expenses, and £2,107 for inte rest on loans, together £5,445, leaving a balance against the company of £5l. The revenue of the Deeside Railway , shows an increase of .0.33 over that of the preceding year, the greater part of_which is derived from goods traffic. The working ,ex- Penses are 342 per cent: , . of 'the gross receipts, as compared with 352 per cent. last year. The increase of revenue is principally, absorbed by the additional dividends payable on the balance of the share capi tal called up daring the year, and by the additional interest on loans from bankers caused by the high rates prevalent. The result, however, enables the directors to recommend a dividend of 6 per cent. on the whole paid-up capital, and to make a further addition -to the, reserve. The permanent way, works, and-rolling stock-hare- beer, itsini tattled in effioient order. The total expenditure on capital account to the 31st of August last amounts to £160,729, while the powers conferred by the company's act autho rise only £141,650; showing an excess of expendi ture beyond the powers to that date of £19,079. This excess has been rendered necessary to provide plant for the working of both lines, for workshop and other accommodation, and for capital sub scribed to the extension line. In last year's accounts the extension line contributed part of the plant from its capital, but it has been found inadequate for this purpose, and the whole has now been transferred and charged to the capital account of the Deeside Railway. In order to pro vide for the liquidation of this liability it is pro posed to apply to Parliament in the ensuing ses sion for power to increase the capital of the Deeside Railway by the issue of preference, shares at a rate of interest not exceeding 41 per cent., and at the same time power will- be taken to convert the de benture debt into debenture -stock. The revenue account of the Deeside Extension Railway shows a balance of £969 after paying the working ex penses, feu duties, rates and taxes, passenger duty, and denbenture interest, but a sum of £llB is re. quired in addition to this balance to meet the inte rest due to the bankers of the company for advances obtained from them for the completion of line. Deducting from this sum the £67 brought from last year's accounts, there remains a balance of £5l to the debit of next year's accounts. The traffic for the last year has not realised the expectations which were formed of it, but the deficient harvest has no doubt materially interfered with its development, and accounts in a great measure for this result. The abundant harvest of the year now current, and the general tendency of the traffic of all new lines to increase, afford good hope of more favourable results in future; and the directors look forward with confidence to considerable improvement in this respect. The cost of the line has exceeded the original estimates, but it was found necessary to extend the line to Aboyne in order to make the terminus there more convenient. It is proposed to cancel the unissued shares of the extension line,and to apply to Parliament for power in the Deeside Bill to issue in lieu thereof preference shares bear ing a fixed rate of interest not exceeding 4 per cent. to pay off the liabilities of the extension line. SOUTH-EASTERN. The gross traffic receipts on this company's line for the four weeks ending the 28th of September amounted to £97,906, from which was deducted £2,871 for collecting and delivering goods, leaving £95,035. To this was added £2,043 for rents and sundries, and £6,217 for the steampacket service, making the total receipts £103,295. The expendi ture, including rates, tolls, Government duty, and expenses of steampacket serviet , , amounted to £43,840; leaving a net sum of £59,455. The total receipts for the eight weeks and three days ending the loth of September amounted to £233,172, and the expenses to £90,543, leaving a net sum of ,a 42,629. AN ARTFUL DODGER NEATLY' DONE. Some time since, according to our information, a speculating shoemaker of this city found himself in " difficulties," as many worthy sons of St. Cris pin have done before him. In order to make mat ters smooth and comfortable he determined to take refuge in bankruptcy, and, at a single stroke, get rid of his troublesome duns and debts in the usual orthodox way, "by paying each pound a shil lin' or twa." As a preliminary step in the process, he packed up £lO5 worth of boots and shoes in two large hampers, by way of " nest egg" for al new business, when the forms of the law and the claims of his creditors were satisfied, or supposed to be so. In the interim, however, the calculating trader entrusted a chosen friend with the two valu able hampers, to be kept under watch and ward until a more convenient season. The " friend' promised secrecy and security, and kept his word to the very letter, as friends in general are expected to do. So far all went smoothly, and our " hero," after withstanding valiantly the usual squeezing process at the hands of his creditors, managed to cast off his difficulties, and come forth a clear man, upon which he applied to his " friend" for the two hampers, as he intended to commence business on the new principle of large profits and quick returns. The " friend," however, felt strongly the responsi bility of the charge he had undertaken, and, as a reasonable recompense for his trouble and anxiety, he demanded £l5 from the astonished shoemaker, and, in the event of refusal, he declined point blank to surrender the coveted hampers. The shoe maker begged, protested, bit his lip, and even swore, but all was of no avail, as he found himself in the hands of the Philistines, and knew very well that the friend knew that he dared not call in the myrmidons of the law. In this emergency the disciple of St. Crispin consulted another friend, who, however, could see no daylight in the case, and ad vised him to get two strong porters, pay the £l5 quietly, and carry off his hampers without delay. This counsel he immediately acted upon, the money was paid, the porters were remunerated, and the hampers were placed once more in his own cus tody. They looked just as he had left them, care fully corded down, but he was naturally anxious to realise the contents, and with this view he im mediately opened the hampers, when he found neatly wrapped up in paper, not his precious stock of boots and shoes, but three or four barrow loads of useless old bricks! How the shoemaker looked, and what he said, thought, and did on making the discovery, we leave to the imagination of the readers of this " ower true tale."—Glasgow Herald. BISHOP LONSDALE AND HIS CLERGY.—The fol lowing address was unanimously signed at the Ruridecana Chapters of the clergy held at Ellesmere, Shrewsbury, and Whitchurch (Salop) during the past week :—" To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lichfield. My Lord,—We, the undersigned members of your Lordship's clergy, desire at this season, when, having concluded your recent visitation, you attend at the re-opening of your cathedral church, to express our thankfulness for the many benefits which your careful and fatherly superintendence has, under God's bless ing, conferred on this diocess during the 18 years of your episcopate. The diligence, the unfailing sympathy, the se lf- sacr ifice, and the attention shown to ev er y claim of duty, have been felt by all of us to be a pattern and a sti mulus. When in our perplexity we have needed counsel, sound advice has been given; when in our difficulty we have needed help, we havo been welcomed with courtesy and hospitality ; no Efforts have Leen spared for our assistance. You have done all in your power to set forward peace. your justice, moderation, munificence, charity, will, as we hope, bo increasingly blessed to the edifying of the body in love. We presume not to dwell on the admirable manner in which you have discharged the duties peculiar to your high office, ordination, confirmation, visitation, and the like ; but we specially desire to record our grateful acknow ledgments of the important services rendered to us, and to n the Church, by your unwearied zeal in preaching through out all parts of your diocess ; setti ng us an example of cheerful labour in the word and doctrine, bencfittinc , ' our selves and our people by the teachi ng you have communi cated.

Trusting that this expression of our feelings may meet with your acceptance, we remain, my lord, your • lerdohip's dutiful and affectionate servants." In the very extensive and valuable collection of State Papers, the Manuscripts of Cardinals Filippo Antonio and' Luigi Gualterio, may be found the following interesting historical document. It is the despatch addressed by the Papal Secretary 9f State, Cardinal Paoluccr, to •Monsignore F. A. Gualterio, at that time (in 1702) Nuncio at the Court of Louis XIV. The - occasion of this despatch ' was the assumption by the Elector of Brandenburg of the title of the Kitig of PrUssia. It is instructive to compare the theory of Divine right just put forth at his coronation by the' present King of Prussia—a theory finding its most ardent supporters amongst the German .Ultrarnontanists*with the denunciation of lawless usurpation •,h.uried against the first Prussian monarch by'the Papal Seer In the belief that this docunient will not be with out interest to those amongst our readers who take pleasure in viewing - contemporary history by the lights thrown upon it by the past, we give it In its E ntirety DESPATCH ADDRESSED By CARDINAL PAOLUCCI, SECRE TARY OF STATE, TO, MONSIONORE FILIPPO ANTONIO GITALTERIO, NUNCIO AT PARIS. "Rome, April 19, 1702. " You have been already, and indeed repeatedly, in formed that the supreme vigilance of his Holiness had not omitted to reflect on the temerity with which the'Margrave of Brandenburg hits arrogated tia.hipaselftho,titleAgAw, of Prussia, sad to draw frorit his apostolic auth.ofitranelf resolutions as, if not capable of warding off the outrage, may at least avail to make public the detestation entertained by the Apostolic See at the same. I now acquaint you that his Holiness, after ,having, with wise forethought, antici pated his ulterior determinations by causing letters to be written to his nuncios, wheresoever resident, to the effect that in every possible conjuncture they should openly ex hibit their disapproval, and should exhort the princes at whose courts they reside, and their ministers, to abstain from every act leading to the inference that they recognised the royal dignity in the aforesaid margrave ; after doing so, his Beatitude has proceeded to address his briefs to the Catholic Powers, employing the expressions appropriate to the matter in question, and to the very weighty feeling in his own mind, beginning with the Emperor, to whom the communication was made in the despatches sent by the last regular courier, when instructions were likewise given to the Nuncio to add his own verbal remonstrances. "His Holiness is aware—indeed, constant proofs of the fact have been furnished by yourself—that no suggestions on the part of the Papal Government are required to convey to the mind of his Majesty a knowledge of this unwarrant able and scandalous proceeding on the part of that prince, or to implant in the royal heart the motives for regarding it with horror and condemnation ; for his Beatitude believes that, besides discharging in this way his own sense of duty, he is likewise seconding the impulses of his Majesty. Nevertheless ho has wished to address to his Majesty the said brief in similar terms; and a communication of the same is made in the annexed copy. It will therefore be your duty to hold language in conformity with the same in speaking on the subject when .you shall present it to his Majesty, and furthermore to acquaint him that our Lord, not content with all this, desires to make known to the car dinals in Consistory his own feelings and his resolutions. His Beatitude declared with apostolic zeal that the Mar grave of Bandenburg was one of those whom God himself has condemned by the mouth of the prophet Hosea :—' They have set up Kings, but not by me : they have made princes, and I knew it not.' He likewise alluded to the circume stance that this deed is an outrage on the Apostolic See, and violation of the sacred canons, which establish that heretics should be deprived of their ancient prerogatives, instead of being honoured with now ones ; and finally, that it is prejudicial to the rights possessed by the Teutonic order over the province ofPrussia ; protesting lastly his purpose of always defending, with all his power, the dignity of the Holy See and of the Catholic religion, The most religioup King of France will doubtless hear with pleasure all this, in consequence of his innate piety, and no great effort will be required on your part to engage him still more to take such steps as shall be in harmony with the course pursusd by our Lord. 1 need say no more, and re main, kissing your hands," &c., &c., &c. THE SULT,IN AND HIS HOUSEHOLD. A correspondent of the Morning Post, writing from Constantinople, Oct. 7, says :—" I believe that I reported at the time, in common with everybody, that the Sultan had, on his accession, struck a heavy blow at polygamy by declaring his intention to re form his harem bills by keeping only one wife. If so, I regret to have to spoil the excellent impression which so exemplary a piece of news must have pro duced by now apprising you that his Majesty has already increased his conjugal stud to four kadkins, several ikpals, and a tolerably strong contingent of guzdes, which, being interpreted, mean, the lofty in rank,' those who have found favour,' and those who please the eye.' The first of these categories may be increased to seven, and includes the fortu nate ladies whose rank is as nearly as possible equi valent to that of wives,' for it is a western fallacy that the Sultan eves' marries: The first seven of his ladies have, iu the order of their accession, wifely rank ; but marriage ceremony, such as loosely binds other true believers, there is in his august case none. Next to these in the haremic hierarchy come the ikpals, fortunate fair ones, from whom the supremo seven are generally recruited in case of death or penal bestowment on a Pacha. Whilst each of the kadkins has a suite of about 40 attend ants, these second class houris have severally an attendance of 25 or 30. They are themselves either singled out by the imperial taste from amongst the retinue of the kadkins, or are special purchases and presents to his Majesty by one of these latter. The guzdes, like the ikpals, are limited to no number, and differ from the latter rather in the degree of their hold on the imperial eye' than in original inferiority of rank in the household. But when they have gratified the sublime optic, be it only for once, they cease to belong to the rank and file of the great female brigade, and attain a substan tive status and attendants of their own. With all three of these categories of pro-conjugal stock, then, I am assured ',by no meaner authority than one of the palace physicians that his Majesty is already well provided, having, as I say, four of the first and a fair number of both the second and the third. So much for the highly respectable story of one wife. And not only does what I now report dispose of that ethical fable, but it plays havoc, too, I regret to say, with half the statements which have been made as to palace reform. It was said weeks ago, and locally believed by all Pera, that the whole of the late Sultan's harem had been shipped over to the old seraglio, and there installed on the meagrest of board wages. Indeed, I believe I reported as much myself at the time, and lavished deserved praise on his Majesty for such excellent energy and good sense. Well, the informant above referred to now assures me that not one of Abdul Medjid's whole ' eight hundred' has yet left Dalma-baktche. Apartments are, indeed, being prepared for them at the old serai, but as yet they remain at the new palace—swelling the total of womankind now within its precincts to nearly 1,300. The Valide Sultana has a suite of 60 female attendants, besides a strong contingent of eunuchs ; each of the kad kins, as I have said, has 40, with neutrals' to match; and the inferior favourites their double suites in proportion, Add to these an establish ment' for each of the six sons of the late Sultan, and for even the five-year old son of the present, for whom a little Circassian girl playfellow was bought the other day at a cost of 30,000 p., and you have, with the aggregate of Abdul Medjid's women, the Instroas total above stated." MACHINE FOR MAKING CONCRETE.—A simple machine for this purpose is used in Germany. It is com posed of a cylinder 13ft. long and 4ft. diameter, open at its ends, and turning upon an axis inclined to the horizon. The stone and the mortar are thrown from a barrow into a bop • per, which delivers them into the cylinder at its upper end. The mixture is effected by the rotation of the cylinder, the lower end of which delivers the beton either into barrows or cars. The interior of the cylinder is smooth, and lined with sheet-iron ; the proportion of the materials is made by regulating the number of barrows of mortar and those of stone cast into the hopper. At one place the cylinder was inclined to the horizon one-thirteenth; it made from 15 to 20 turns per minute, and the mixture was perfect. The cylinder was driven by a belt pasting directly over its outer surface. Notion was given by a engine, which worked at the same time a strong mortar-mill. This machine easily made from 104 to 131 cubic yards in ten hours.—Builder.

GARIBALDI." DESTRUCTION OF A .2trimW . ZEALAND PACKET SHIP B P PIRE. The loss of the London aniVlSrew Zealand pas senger ship William Brown, Ca:p . lain Barclay com mander, was made known in, the city on Saturday by the arrival of one of the passengers. The ill fated vessel was totally destroyed by fire on the night of the 2d inst. in lat. 36 44, long. 12`3 W., near the Western Islands, and it is gratifying to state that, with the exception of one man, the steward, who is supposed to have been suffocated, the' whole of the passengers and crew were saved. The William Brown was a barque-rigged vessel, about 606 tona, classed A 1 at Lloyd's, and was taken up by Messrs. Shaw and Savill, the New Zealand emigration agents and brokers in Leadenhall street, for a voyage to ,New Plymouth. She had a ene ral cargo of merchandise, and some 11 or 12"first class and steerage passengers. She sailed from Gravesend about the 7th of last month, and all ap peared to have gone well with the ship until about six o'clock on the evening of the 2d inst., when she had reached the above position. It was then dis covered that a fire had broken out in her forepart, supposed to be by the bursting of some tins of oil or turpentine stowed under the forecastle. The officers and crew went down in the hope of being able to stifle tho flames, but they were unable to' get near the seat of mischief. The captain and crew made another effort to extinguish the fire, and after 4 hours' vigorous exertions it was appa rent that the entire destruction of the ship was inevitable, and that no time was to be lost in abandoning her. The boats were ordered out, but, owing to a heavy cross sea that was running, there was great difficulty in lowering them, and keeping them clear of the ship. The crew succeeded in getting them down, and the ship was finally aban doned at 11 o'clock. About one o'clock in the morning a brig was observed making towards them. The captain directed the gig to go to the brig,and she succeeded in reaching the vessel about three o'clock, and at six o'clock the other boats were descried, and the whole of the crew and passengers were safely got on board the brig, which proved to be the Swedish ship Hedrig Charlotte, of Stockholm, Capt. J. 4 4 11allengrien, which was ona voyage to Rio. The captain of thebrig saw the fire 20 miles off, and at once bore down to it, and seeing the foremast and mainmast gone, but not a human creature about the blazing barque, he supposed that they had taken to the boats, and thought it his duty to cruise about, in the hope of picking them up. The passengers and crew speak highly of the humane and generous conduct of those on board the Swedish • brig ; but for the prompt aid which she rendered in bearing down to them they must doubtless have all perished, and they trusted that the English government would not allow this gallant service to pass unrewarded, They were landed at Madeira, and the brig went on to her destination. The William Brown and her cargo were partially in sured at Lloyd's. The loss is estimated at £30,000. THE WEEDING OF OUR ARMY.—Although we have protested warmly and fairly against a sudden reduc tion of our little army, consequent upon the support which the fine patriotic feelings of her children has spontaneously given to the country, yet, that weeding of the ranks of un suitable men, to be replaced by better when occasion or op portunity occurs, was not intended to come within the scope of our remarks. The present moment is now being em ployed by commanding officers of regiments, under order from the Horse Guards, for " casting" men of ill-health (likely to be so permanently), and the men under 6 feet 4 inches high. This will reduce our ranks by several thou sand men ; but no doubt the approach of winter, combined with the apparent state of peace whichprevails in Europe, justifies the measure as one of prudence and economy. So far, however, as the height of the men is taken as a reason for discharge from the ranks of the service we have a word to say. It is, indeed, a strange anomaly that we should keep men of the most infamous character, utterly useless, at an immense cost, while others, half an inch too short, . yet many of them stout, strong fellows, and first-rate n mtardkiss e and a . men, are swept away withou t scruple. We dare chargewotdd re-enlist the r u ffiwahn becauseile ths little, theygood a m reunm en, areunmarked already d marked by nature. Th ere is a lumbering, blundering policy in this capable of th e most simple rectification, and we ear nestly suggest the matter to the attentive consideration of the Horse Guards. —Army and Navy Gazette. A WEDDING PARTY IN A RITER.—On Saturday last an unlucky accident befcl a wedding party on their way home from church. The party were from Cummers dale, and the nuptial knot having been tied at Carlisle, the wedding trip had to be home again via Blackwell. The party consisted of three ladies and two gentlemen, and, not withstanding fem6le attire, one cab was deemed sufficient for the whole. Having taken their seats in the vehicle, they started, and " all went merry as a marriage bell," until they arrived at the wooden foot-bridge which spans the Caldew at Cummersdale. Here it was proposed to alight and cross the bridge on foot, leaving the cab to return to Carlisle. But the cabman urged that they should keep their seats, and ho would do a little of the Lord Ullin's daughter business, and drive them through " the wild and stormy water." To this they objected, and whether the driver could see, or was in such a position that he could not see the Caldew wag flooded at the time, he urged his steed into the river. He had not driven far, however, when he dis covered that he could neither get farther nor yet come back. His horse was dead beat, and had it not been for the hitherto happy freight behind, it would have qTl en ° down the stream. It is imp ossible to de t ra nsition from joy to grief that occurred Otnsout.by the r,ict the sua T o he door could not be opened, but the zug.
