A grazier of Pomerania has communicated to the School of Medicine at Berlin a method of his for preserving horned cattle from the contagious typhus fever which, a few years ago, caused such uneasi ness to agriculturists in Germany. It consists in inoculating the animals with the saliva of a subject labouring under the disease, by making an incision somewhat less than an inch in length on the inner side of the thigh.—The attention of medical men both in England and France has of late been drawn to the ill effects resulting from the habit of reading while travelling by rail. Dr. Legrand de Saulle remarks that reading under such circumstances is extremely fatiguing to the eyes, owing to the jolting of the vehicle, and that this fatigue in duces headache, and often orbitary pains round the eyes, with a slight congestion of the retina, which, when the habit has become regular and in • vaterate, and the subject is advanced in age, may in the eni determine a real congestion of the brain.-- The Antwerp Journal states that perchloride of iron combined with collodion is a good hemostatic in the case of wounds, the bites of leeches, &c. To prepare it,one part of crystallised perchloride of iron is mixed with six parts of collodion. The perchloride of iron should be added gradually and with care; otherwise such a quantity of heat will be generated as to cause the collodion to boil. The composition when well made, is of a yellowish red, per fectly limpid, and produces on the skin a yellow vellicle, which retains great elasticity.— Pouring cold water on the face and head appears to be a good remedy in cases of poisoning by narco tics. A young woman a few days ago accidentally swallowed six drachms of a mixture of laudanum and chloroform with some hydrocyanic acid in. She immediately vomited a portion of the liquid, and then fell down in a state of coma. Professor Harley being called in, he administered hot coffee and nitric ether, and proceeded to effect artificial respiration. No great improvement was perceptible; but on the application of cold water to the forehead the effect was magical. The patient began to breathe more freely, and she lost some blood from the nose. As soon as the effusion or cold water ceased, the coma returned, and was again removed by renewing the effusion ; the patient soon moved her arms and legs, and seemed anxious to avoid the stream of water, as if it caused her pain. This treatment was re newed by intervals until the following day ; and after the lapse of 60 hours, all distressing symptoms disappeared completely. CRYSTAL PALACE. The benefit of Mr. Strange, the purveyor-general to her Majesty's lieges visiting the Crystal Palace, tas : uev a cse s c , mre yswsruiens ungrateful rejoiced Had ntaegfieut lbhearese t nttuoor tun o say, a g hnefdorundergo the sghoee, inwtr order and aueerlrdtfto meet ma ddvei eeffiecti cdd been the ever - varying demands upon the commissariat department of the Palace at Sydenham. Unlike those necessarily made upon a large establishment, where the number of visitors or residents can be pretty nearly ascertained, the wants of the visitors to the Crystal Palace can never be estimated and provided for. The attendance is regulated in a great measure by the weather, and when that uncertainty is taken into con sideration, it is something surprising that the tastes of thousands are so adequately supplied. Of course there must be occasions when disappoint ments as to a favourite dish are to be met with, but let those who have suffered under that inconve nience for one minute consider the ever-varying number of visitors, and inconsiderate indeed must be that person who is not convinced that the ar rangemer.ts of Mr. Strange are neither imperfect nor parsimonious, because on some special occasion a plate of salmon, or a dish of whitebait, is not to be had by asking for. The visitor ought, before coming to the conclusion that the arrange ments are bad, to consider the number of persons present, not one of which has given Mr. Strange the slightest notice of what he should like for dinner. There is an old story about a number of cockneys going on a pic-nic excursion, and when each opened his provision basket it was found to contain a solitary leg of lamb, but neither bread nor salt. Of course the consternation under such circumstances may be imagined ; each would have acted differently had he known his friend would not have brought the bread. On the same rule Mr. Strange, if he could correctly ascertain the number requiring a certain dish, would most assuredly amply provide for all. Our great surprise is, not that we cannot always have salmon when we wish it, but that the complaints, taking into considera tion the number of visitors, are so few. On the occasion of Mr. Strange's benefit, however, there was no room for complaint, both refreshments and amusements were of the most unlimited character. There were three military bands stationed in the grounds, a grand organ performance, comic singing, a grand concert of national melodies by 200 voices, the brothers Stonette, the Elliotts in their elegant ball-room entertainment, a balloon ascent, military sports, the great fountains, and the performances of Blondin on the low rope. At the termination of the amusements the place and grounds were lit up with coloured fires, and thus one of the greatest fetes of the season was brought to a conclusion amidst a blaze of triumph. THE ADVANTAGES OP BUS' RACING. AS SUMMED U P BY .A7SPORTING SURGEON. "Doncaster. Pahaw I You'll not catch me going there this meeting, I can promise you. Yes, I like seeing a good race, and the St. Leger is a crack one : bat the fact is, just at present there are races here in London, which to me are far more interesting. What do I mean ? My boy, I mean the Races of the Omnibuses, and I'll trouble you to show me any that can equal them. One goes to races chiefly for excitement. Now, to get up a sensation there's nothing like an accident, and for the chance of a good accident there's nothing like a 'bus race, Yes, I know all that ; there was a spill last Derby, and not a bad one, either, Still, you see, in horse-racing if there is an accident, it's only to an animal, or may be to a jockey. But in 'bus racing, my boy, there is no telling what may happen, from a conductor being crushed to a child being run over, Be sides, the 'busses may capsize in rattling down a hill, for of course when they are racing they never stop to put the skid on. And then, the chances are there'll be a jolly lot of casualties, and you may get some goodish cases if you are looking out for them. I make a point myself of attending all the 'bus races; and I assure you, I've picked up a pretty tidy lot of practice at them. You see, there's sure to be a race as soon as a new 'bus is started on the line a route which has been worked by the General Monopoly Inconvenient Conveyance Company. Directly the new 'bus starts the G. M. I. C. C. start a cpuple more to nurse it, one keeping close in front and the other close behind it; so besides the chance of being torn to pieces by the cads, the passengers in getting en or off the 'busses while going at full speed, are pretty sure to come to grief and broken bones occasionally. "So, long live this 'bus-racing, say I ; for however great a nuisance it may be to the public, it is certainly a benefit to mon of my profession, and the longer that it flourishes the better will it be for us. The only thing I fear is, that, by some accidental act of common sense, a jury should re turn a verdict of manslaughter against my good friends the directors of the G. N. I. C. C., who are, after all, the Chief promoters of 'bus•racing. In that case there would, doubtless, be a stop put to the sport; but the contingency 01 common sense occurring to a jury is really so remote, that it is hardly worth considering.'•--Punch. usue REST ORATION- OF THE CATHEDRAL OF ST.,, X ILRENNY.—This venerable and beau tif ul struc ture h av i n latterly fallen into great disrepair , its restora am Wa s to £lo,ooo l. ‘ e solved on at the estimated cost of from £B,OOO THE SON.

Black burn, who already stands committed from this Court upon three cases of burglary, was again placed at the bar, charged with a number of other daring robberies. Mrs. Mary Sharp, of 19, Taviton-street, Euston-square, said on the 21st August last I went to bed at 10 minutes to 12, at which hour the fastenings of the house were, to the best of my belief, secure. The next morning I rose about seven o'clock, when I found the street door unfastened, which I had secured myself previous to going to bed. On entering the drawing-room I first missed the clock, and for that loss I unfortunately suspected one of my servants, whom I discharged. The next thing I missed was the clock out of the dining room. I also lost six spoons, an eggstand, teapot, a tablecloth, and other things, in value over £lOO. I have already laid out £25 in replacing the necessaries taken away. I iAentify the book, the table cloth, the efigstand, and other articles now produced, as belonging to me. Inspector Garforth, of the E division, said—The prisoner was in my custody on another charge. On going to his lodgings, at No. 135, Long Acre, I found the property of Mrs. Sharp among a large quantity of other articles. I also found some duplicates relating to property, which Mrs. Sharp had identified as hers. 1 also found a clock at a public-house in Covent-garden market, which she has also identified as hers. I examined the drawing-room windows of 19, Taviten-street, and found they could be easily opened from the outside, if the catch was not properly fixed. There is a balcony running along the front of the houses in the street, and any one getting into the balcony of the corner house could pass along to No. 19, without any difficulty. Mr. Skeet, landlord of the Britannia publichouse, Covent garden, said about three or four months ago the prisoner came frequently to my house in the costume of a sailor. I asked him what ship he belonged to; he said the yacht Gala tea. After this one morning he met me in front of the house and said he had a timepiece he would give me, as he said I had been kind to him. I told him I didn't want his present, as I knew nothing of him except as a customer, However he brought the clock and left it. The clock now produced by Inspector Garforth is the one. The prisoner wore a gold band round his cap. Charles Kirby, of 135, Long Acre, coffeehouse keeper said the prisoner had been lodging on and off at my house about twelve months. He represented himself on the first occasion as steward cf the Intrepid. When he came last time he said he had left the Intrepid and joined the Galatea. I showed the prisoner's apartments to the police, and the articles now in court were brought to my place by him. I saw him bring in the clock spoken to by Mr. Skeetes. Thomas Stapleton, assistant to Mr. Wells, a pawnbroker produced an umbrella which had been pledged by the pri soner in the name of Smith. Mrs. Sharp identified the article as her property. Inspector Garforth said he had another serious case , against the prisoner. Mr. Corrie—You have already completed four. Don't you think that's sufficient? Inspector Garforth—There is one case I should like to have taken. _ . Mr. Corrie--Very well, let me hear it. Elizabeth Hoskins, cook to Mr. Overend, of 1, Albany terrace, Regent's-park, said—On the 23d of last August I went to bed about 11 o'clock, and securely fastened the front door before doing so, The entry to the premises must have been effected by the spare bedroom window, which had been left unfastened. When I got up in the morning I found the street door wide open. I went first to the pantry, and found the silver missing. It consisted of a dozen and a half of tea, four salt, a mustard, and six or seven dessert spoons. The book slide in court was on the drawing room table, and the despatch box (produced) was in the library. The two brooches produced must have been taken out of the bed room whilst the young ladies were asleep. A quantity of table linen was also taken away. My desk was forced open and £2 10s. taken therefrom. _ _ _ The whole of the silver, together with the articles in gold, amounting in value to upwards of £6O, was here pro duced by Inspector Garforth and identified by the witness as belonging to her master. Inspector Garforth formally proved the finding the pro perty at the prisoner's lodgings. Mr. Curie (to prisoner)—l'm going to send you for trial, so if you have anything to say, now is the proper time. Prisoner—l've nothing to say. Inspector Garforth—l should wish for another remand ; there are circumstances for such a step that, if mentioned publicly, might defeat the ends of justice. Mr. Corrie—Then by all means let the prisoner be brought up again this day week, but at present he stands committed on five charges of burglary. Inspector Garforth—There is a large quantity of pro petty found at the prisoner's lodgings that has not yet been identified, and also a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates re lating to clocks, books, &c., no doubt the proceeds of bur glaries. I have five other cases against the prisoner com plete, and in a few days, your worship, I shall have as many more. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. There is every reason to believe, from letters found in the prisoner's box, that his representations relative to his hold ing the appointment of steward to the Galatea, yacht, now at Southampton, is correct.

No : neither of these literary celebrities disclose themselves to view, at last ja the person of Mr. Dawson.

And we can no longer Wonder to find him articulating such lofty aspirations in regard to the success awaiting his present poem, when he candidly avows his cherished hope and belief in regard to t his effusion of his poetic genius, that—Tesso, Ccethe, Shakspere, Virgil, could hardly wish fcr more--« The general reader will find sufficiett to Pleas e , the poet sufficient to dream over, the painter to illustrate his canvas with, and the sculptor to immortalise in statuary." Modest hopes, these, truly !

Clark, Edinburgh. of S ome few years ago several new quarterly re e,WB suddenly appeared upon the field which had a u3 og besn left in almost undisputed possession to 'Wo or three standard favourites. Some of these We re Publications of undoubted merit, and promi nent among them was the North British Review, 'which at once assumed a position which it has never Si nce failed to maintain. The character and style °f i ts articles rank it at once the best of its class, a nd the reader of cultivated taste and literary inte rests can always be certain of finding more than ° las article to engage his special attention. The n umber before us is no exception to the rule, since While it by no means neglects the questions of the hour, it has several essays of that character which 44 supposed to be more especially becoming a quar terly review. The essay on Thomas de Quincey is one of these. It is evidently from the pen of one familiar with his writings, who is keenly alive to their merits, though not insensible to their faults. The works of this accomplished author will always be held in high esteem by a select few, although they bill never be popular with the unthinking many. So highly does his present critic esteem him that he ranks him among the first hundred of the World's best authors. This is an extreme verdict, although he cites passages of marvellous power and °ri ginality of thought to confirm it. The wild and str s !ifiy e e vicissitudes of De Quincey's ear ly career andth vividly sketched. His suff er i ngs at e e time of his sojourn in London are not altogether com prehensible, seeing that his worldly prospects Were by no means contemptible. Yet his wants V ere real and pressing.

"In time," says the critic, " when we have so 'loch (lo sham brillian c y an d false viva c ity, udly liveliness and forcible feebleness When the p enny - a-liner sits in the high places of e rature,—w e t urn to these books with a pleasant !rise of relief. We are heartily sick of the smell Cockneydom ; its slang and smartness; its know ingness and i ns i ncerity, and find it delightful to renew acquaintance with the sty le of a writer who Is not smart nor fast, but always an English gentle- Man, with a stately touch of the school in which Manners are a sort of surface Christianity." The essay which follows is also biographical, though it treats of 8 very different man, one of the leaders of the world of action instead of that of thought —Henry St. John, Lord Bolingbroke. To the abilities of this remarkable man the writer renders full justice, according him, too, more than the common measure °t Moral approbation. The outline of his political career—the history of the one great achievement Which has immortalised his name, while it ruined his fortunes, is well told. Of his qualities as an ?Ivor we have this account :—" Possessing that Instinct which enables a speaker to bring himself into sympathy with his audience, skilful in detect ing the weak points of an adversary's argument, skilful in concealing the weak points of his own,ready, adroit, intrepid, St. John was by his constitution a parliamentary debater. And to these gifts he added others scarcely less essential—a finished delivery, a ffJrvid eloquence, a curious felicity of expres- Aion ; above all, a capacity for prolonged and trenchant invective. He could rebuke, and he could r idicule, • He was passionate, and he was ironical. Ilia scorn tempered his passion, and his passion Rave a glow to his scorn. He became a power in Bt. Stephen's before he had been a year within its Rails." After this interesting memory of a bygone ' a ge, We are suddenly recalled to the practical neces sities of the present, by a paper on the "Educa tion and. Management of the Imbecile." Recent ex perience has shown how very greatly the condition of these unfortunate creatures may be ameliorated and their powers developed by kind and judicious treatment.

AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. With the exception of some first-class bills having been negotiated at 31 per cent., the money market today exhibits no feature of novelty, the ordinary inquiries being numerous, and the quo tations firm. A special meeting of the shareholders of the Oriental Inland Steam Company was held to-day for the purpose of considering the propriety of re moving Mr. Bourne from the offices of managing director and ordinary director of the company. Colonel Grimes occupied the chair, and read a very long statement, in which certain charges were pre ferred against Mr. Bourne, who, in reply, had also published a minute of the affairs of the company, rebutting the allegations made against him.

CIiEMIST.-Mr. George Jardine Presswell, solicitor, of New Milman-street, iwas charged before Mr. Knox, with assaulting Mr. Samuel Robertson, of Church-street, Hackney. Complainant said—l am a stranger to the defendant. •I was in the Haymarket about half-past one this morning, when I met two young men, and seeing the police were in terfering with them I gave them some good advice, once having been locked up myself. The defendant said I was a thief and a pickpocket. I then went to the Cafe Regence, and at half-past five, while standing at the door talking to the waiter, I saw the defendant and the two others passing by. I said to the waiter, " There goes a man who called me a thief." The defendant overheard what I said, came across to me and struck me in the face, saying I was a " w—'s man." I only want the defendant to apologise, as he has been locked up. Defendant—l did not call him what he says, and I thought he was a friend of the others. Sergeant Howe, 25 C—At half-past five this morning I was at the corner of Windmill-street, and saw the com plainant talking to a waiter. The defendant and others walked up Windmill street on the opposite side of the way, and complainant called out to defendant, " You with the Dundreary hat," and then crossed over. Some high words ensued, and defendant struck complainant in the face. The defendant and others would have passed on quietly but for the complainant. Mr. Knox—The affair is a trivial one, and if Mr.ltobert son had kept himself quiet nothing would have occurred. Still there has been an assault in the eye of the law, and I order the defendant to pay ls. Mr. Powell, chemist, of 27, Haymarket, was charged with assaulting police-constable Yeo, 316 A. The constable heard the defendant, who was in company of some prostitutes, making a great noise, and requested him to desist, but he refused, and shook the constable in a violent manner. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable, and also Holden, 297 A, said the defendant was drunk. Defendant denied that he was drunk, and Mr. Knox offered to put the case back, that the inspector, who took the charge might attend, but the defendant declined this step, and was fined 10s. or 7 days. WESTMINSTER. ESCAPING C HEAP LY.—Jane Frond, a respectable-looking woman, was charged with assaulting and wounding John Miller. The proseoutor, who was wounded over the left eye and in the hand, said that he met the prisoner's husband last night at Chelsea, and they had some words about a small sum of money which one owed the other. At length the dispute ended in a scuffle taking place between them, in the course of which the prisoner advanced towards him with a jug in her hand, and struck prosecutor a blow on the eye and a second on the hand. The blows were given with such force that the jug was broken to pieces. Prisoner said that prosecutor was striking her husband at the time r and she threw the jug, but did not strike in the mode described. Prosecutor declared that no blow had been struck between them. George Shakespeare said he was present. He he ar d Miller ask about some mon ey which , . was said, was owing and the men closed, and were having a scuffle, when pri soner broke the jug- over his head as described. He was wounded, and bled a pint and a half. He was taken to a doctor's and had his head dressed, but it bled even while he was at the station. Police-constable Turnbu ll, 61 B, said he was fetched by t h e prisoner, who wanted to give the prosecut or i n t o cus tody, but finding the injury ho had received witness took him. Mr. Selfe asked prosecutor whether ho would take com pensation ? Prosecutor said he would ; ho had no wish to press the matter against the accused, as she had a large family. Prisoner's husband wanted a summons against prosecu tor for assaulting him. Mr. Selfe said he could not grant that after his wife had attacked prosecutor this way. To clear the score of is 10d between them and the injury, prisoner must pay pro secutor 7a. THAMES. AT THE WRONG STATION. —Hugh Barnes, a Lancashire workman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting S. Whistler, ticket collector at the Shadwell station of the Blackwall Rail;vay. The complainant stated that the prisoner came to the Shadwell station yesterday afternoon with a Poplar ticket for Gravesend. He told the prisoner he must go back to Poplar, and could not proceed to Gravesend with that ticket. The prisoner. who was very drunk, attempted to go up stairs, and to prevent his falling into danger, he stopped him, and said he could not be allowed to go on the platform and endanger his life. The prisoner said he would go where he liked, and insisted on proceeding up stairs. He laid hold of the prisoner and pulled him back, on which he seized him by the coat, which he tore. A tailor said the repairs would cost ss. The witness, who wore the torn coat, pointed to a large rent under the right arm and another in front of the coat. In answer to Mr. Partridge, the witness said that a ticket paid for at Poplar would not entitle a man to travel to Gravesend from Shadwell. Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, said the Shadwell station was a mile and a quarter nearer London than Poplar. "Whistler said the prisoner must have walked from Poplar to Shadwell, and did not come up by rail. The ticket was inscribed " Poplar to Gravesend —second class." The prisoner made a rambling defence, and said he was a hard-working man, and thought it very hard, after he had paid his fare, that he could not proceed to his destina tion. Mr. Partridge said there was no hardship in the ease. The prisoner was not entitled to leave Shadwell for Graves end with a Poplar ticket ; and if he was, it was the bounden duty of railway companies and their servants to prevent drunken men or women travelling on their lines under any pretence whatever. The complainant had acted most pro perly and discreetly. He fined the prisoner ls., and ss. in addition for the damage done to the coat. MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE.

No expense whatever is spared in con stantly adding to its present collection of rare and costly relics, every object that may be deemed worthy of a place in the establishment. Lif,-size models of the English Mo narchs, attired in appropriate costume, from William the Conqueror to that of her present Majesty, continu e t o b e one of the most attractive features in the exhibition. NEW DISCOVERIES AT POMPEII.---A house has been uncovered, which, to judge from th e sp l en d our of its interior, and its almost entirely preserved furniture' must have belonged to . a very we a lth y proprietor. The tr i cl i n i um (dining room) is . paved with m osa i c , represen ti ng ia a number of gournndzses of the time. The completely served table is covered with petrified remnants of dishes ; and around it are found three divans, or rather table-beds, of bronze, richly adorned with gold and silver, upon which reposed several skeletons. A. groat many precious jewels were found near them. On the table stood, among other ornaments, a very beautifully worked statue of Bacchus in silver, with eyes of enamel, a collar of jewels, and precious armlets. A GALLANT TAR.—A very gallant and deter mined act was performed by Commander Edward Wilmot, of the Euryalus, flag-ship of Admiral Kuper, on the night of June 25 last. While the ship was at anchor at Yokohama one of the marine sentries fell overboard, and being encumbered with his full accoutrements instantly sank, together with a seaman who had rushed overboard to his assistance. Commander Wilmot, at this critical moment, jumped overboard, and having dexterously placed himsel, under the drowning men, brought them both to the surface and safely on board. This is not the first act of the like nature this gallant officer has performed, and his presence on the spot, which was quiet accidental, was most fortunate on this occasion in saving two valuable lives. REPRESENTATION OF TAMWORTEL—We learn that it is the intention of the Hon. Henry Cowper, brother of Earl Cowper and captain of the Ist Herts Rifle Corps, to be the Liberal candidate for the rep: es( ntatiou of Tamworth, rendered vacant by the accession of Lord Raynham to the peerage,--ITe)•ts anti ,Essex Tow•nad, STATE OF TRADE, DUNDEE. Sept. 15.—The demand for flax, tow, and codilla was very languid today again, and few transactions are reported. The better qualities hive undergone little change in value, but the tendency is in favour of the buyer. Common is irregular in price, and can be bought lower than on last marls:et. The recent fall in prices in the Baltic ports has in dueed more free on board business, and there is sill much offering out. Jute in good request, and very saleable, at a small advance, but the market not vvell supplied with suitable qualities. To-day there we e great animation in yarns and linens. A large busir tees done in them. Flax and tow yarns were much wanted, and higher prices freely paid for theta for delivery months hence. The American advices re port less doing in linens, owing to the great ad vance in the exchange, but buyers here continue to operate . extensively, having confidence in the 15ta- Witty of that market. The demand for other foreign markets continues excellent. LEICESTER, Sept. 16 . —There is a good deal of activity in the hosiery trade. Regular goods meet a good sale, and there is yet a fair demand for fancy hosiery. Manufacturers hold busy with orders on hand. In the rural districts business is without much change. The yarn-m ar k et i s firm, and there is a fair demand for material, very high prices being made. Wools are selling at late rates. NOTTINGHAM, Sept. IG.—There is little if any more doing in cotton-lace goods this w ee k than last. It is usually a quiet period of the ye ar , and the present season is no exception. There are hom e small orders for Mechlin quiltings in the mark e t, and a few plain nets are finishing, otherwise very little is doing in cotton fabrics. The silk-lace trade is rather quiet. Yarns continue exceedingly dear, and the market remains very firm. GERMANY AND DENMARK, A letter from Frankfort, in the Botschafter, dated the 9th inst., nays :—" I am enabled to give you tho information that Austria has made a positive decla ration, as regards Federal execution in Holstein, to all the Great Powers—to France, Russia, and Eng land, especially to the latter, that the Dano-German question must be settled, and that Federal execu tion has become indispensable if Denmark should persist in her resistance, no matter what the con sequences may be. The language of Austria is very decided, and has not been modified by the objections which the Great Powers—especially England, have made. Austria has declared, in a straightforward manner, that it rests with the Copenhagen Cabinet to prevent armed intervention, that Denmark, not Germany, must give in." A letter from Hanover, dated 9th September, says :—" I am able to inform you, from an au _ thentic source, that preparations are being made in our military circles for carrying out Federal execution in Schleswig and Holstein, and it will very shortly take place, despite the attempts of mediation which have been made since the recep. tion of the last Danish note." A letter from Copenhagen:dated 7th September, says The Swedish Minister M. de Mender stroem, has left our city. after having held long conferences both here and at Malmoe, with H. Hall, at which the English Ambassador was pre sent. In these conferences the details of an offen sive and defensive alliance between Sweden and Denmark were settled. Although this alliance is an accomplished fact, it i s st ill wanting in one point. The reciprocal signatures have n o t yet b een put to it. .his is not without importance. I can tell you from a reliable source that they will not be put until Federal execution shall have actually c ommenced. Military preparations are going on acti ve l y. Two more ships of war have left for Flensburg." The Constitutionnel has the following - win the Federal Diet have recourse to arms P Thi s i s the question which is now under discussion at frankfort, at Berlin, and at Vienna. I n a f ew days the political and military reports will be ready which have been ordered by the Diet. We doubt, however, whether any active measures will be taken at once." Caution to the Public against "Advertising Tipsters," As horse-racing has long been the national sport of land, and patronised and encouraged by the highest in the land, we think it right to warn our readers and the public against those professional "Advertising Tipsters" who live upon the credulity of those who unthinkingly place confi dence in them. The following are a few examples, copied from the columns of the _Manchester Guardian, of their pretended foreknowledge of the ultimate results in a greet race : THE ST. LEGER STAKES. Sefton's Selection :—St. Leger winner at 40 to 1. Lord Clifden, Ranger, and Queen Bertha have no chance, Henry Hotspur, the great turf adviser (not the talented writer for the Daily Telegraph),says—" Wells will win the St. Leger on the flyer I will send you, now at 30 to 1 ; Lord Clifden has no chance." Again, the same worthy says : " Lay against Lord Clifden, Ranger, Golden Pledge, and Avenger for the St. Leger, for these are the horses book makers get their farms and mansions out of, as they are not in tha hunt, and the winner is still at good odds. As a climax to the above, we will give one more from a Macclesfield " Bull," and leave our sporting readers to judge for themselves :—" £5OO—A Challenge to the World.— St. Leger, a certainty; could carry 10 stone and beat Lord Clifden ; pepper that gentleman and back my flyer. I have the best things ever sent out for Cesarewitch and , Cambridgeshire, now at 100 to 1 ; will see 5 to 1, and win, O ne week, 12 stamps ; one month, 30 ; season, 7s. fici." Liverpool Cotton Market--This Days (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) Quieter and steady. Sales, about 10,000 bales, Imports, 5,282; previously, 8,782. VERY STRANGE. —The extraordinary facilities for locomotion in the present day are the cause of strange s ights. Only the day before yesterday, at a quarter -past four, we saw Bolt-court running into Fleet -street !—Fun. The Aissa-Outra, one of the most fanatic sects of Islamism, have just celebrated at Algiers the anniversary of the birth of Mahomet. The scene was a very exciting one, Some of them applied their tongues to hot icon; others performed the exercise of the trapeze on very sharp sab re bl a d es; others ate scorpions or plunged. sharp pieces of iron into their eyes and made them start from their orbits, and some enthusiasts capped all these performances by swallowing the most prickly leaves of the cactus. Serpent charmers also exercised their calling ; they made necklaces and bracelets of those reptiles, irritated. them, and then calmed them by playing on the flute, thus rendering them EO tame that they went into the men's mouths without doing any , injury. A portion of a Roman road has just been dis covered at Trier by some men engaged in digging a cellar. It is six feet below the surface; its upper stratum is com posed of very hard pebbles laid down three feet deep, and. resting on blocks of limestone. The Union des Deux Sevres states that a young man at St. Servan who was engaged to ride as a jockey at the races of Dinan, subjected himself to so severe a course of training in order to reduce his weight, that he was found dead in the stable two days since, apparently from starva tion. The " pilgrimage" to Cherbourg organised by the Parisian parish of Notre-Dame-des•Victoires, which wo noticed last week as about to come off, did not prove a success. On the pilgrims' arrival and leav ing the railway station in procession they were as sailed by a large mob, hooting and yelling, which broke through the cortege, the " disjecta membra " of which do not appear to have afterwards reunited. No personal violence was, however, offered to tha devotees by the irreligious populace. M. Imbert-Koaehlin, of Mulhouse, has addressed a letter to the Pressc giving an account of the first results of the cultivation of cotton in Corsica. He states that he has received samples of the cotton from M. Pierraggi at Caivi, and finds it of very superior quality. M. Pierraggi says that most of the plants bear above 100 capsules, some as many as 150, each containing from one to two grammes of pure cotton. Some of the land on which the cotton plant succeeds so well has hitherto been regarded as the very worst in the neighbour hood of Cclvi. The plants have generally attained a height of from 70c. to one metre, without the benefit of irrigation. From these facts M. Imbert- Kcechlin cuncludes that the cultivation of cotter. will ultimately prove a great : . succes,., in Corsica. A Dijon journal states that an old man, named Golot, who was born in January, 1757, Pasfed through that town last week on his way to Botir borine-les-Bain. Notwithstanding his 106 years, the gallant old man is in the enjoyment of excel lent health and walks well without the help of a stick.
