The object of this enterp-lee is to take advantage of the impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of the Excise Duties, ue der circumstances peculiarly favourable, the materials being obtained by a pat ent process in full ope ration, at prices very highly re munerative, as compared with the cost of similar products i n the open market. p It is well known that very large fortunes have been realised in this trade, and the removal of a Tax which amounted to £2O to V 5 per cent. upon the value of first-class News and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con stantly inere ring demand for the supply of Books, Periodi cals, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and very remunerative business to a manufactory situated close to the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plans, with the greatest regard to economy of production by the saving of labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per fect description. Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1182, it is proposed to purchase at their actu l cost, the under takiags of the Ettrick Forest Paper Mill Company and the Ulmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company. To carry out the intended purchase, to double the scale of the Paper Mill, to utilise to the Tulle-t extent the produc tive power of the works at Grays, and to provide the necessary working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of £150,000, in shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as a fund of credit, deemed highly d sirable for the safe and profitable working of a Limited Company. After providing for every conti ngency, the net profits Ca lculated upon the present w or ki ng and receipts, as applied to the enlarged production, viz., 32 to 35 t ons of paper, and 25 to 30 tons of manure powder, per week, will be from £20, , 00 to £25,000 per annum, accordin9, to the condition of the mar kets, giving a dividend of from 15 to 20 per cent., with pros pects of considerable increase upon favourable developments of general trade, which it is well known is depressed by the state of affairs in America, and other di,turbing causes. A very large share of the capital has already been sub scribed by the present owners of the properties. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained from the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, or at the Offices of the Company. Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed to the prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of £ I per share. It no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full ; and it a less number be allotted than is applied for, the sur plus will be used towards the payment on allotment.

Lonon, May, 1 The foundation of institution s on the Continent whichcom bine large capital and credit f,r financial and industrial en terprise has now become an established fact, and in many cases their success has been remarkable. Such institutions may be abused, and become mere instruments of speculation ; but when prudently conducted and directed towards legiti mate business it cann o t b e d en i ed that they meet cue of the real wants of the ag e . England has hitherto not participated in this movement, and the consequence is, that Paris has to a considerable ex tent superseded London as the centre of financial enterprise. London, nevertheless, affords by far the best sphere for a well managed undertaking of this description. It is the greatest money market of the world ; the point to which all foreign nations resort to raise capital ; the place where large contracts can be made and loans negotiated. There is clearly no other money market where concentr4ed capital and credit ought to comma n d a more se ure or a larger profit. England also, in her Colonies, sad above all in her vast In dian Empire, affords a field for legitimate enterprise, which is unequalled by any other c , untry. India, with a population of 180,000,000, rapidly advancing in wealth and prosperity, re quires nothing more to accelerate its development than the direction towards its territory of some portion ~f that vast annual accumulation of Fnglish capital which seeks invest ment at a low rate of interest. To ally the demand of India fbr capital at 10 or 12 per cent. with the English demand for investment at 4 or 5 per cent., of itself affords an ample sphere for operations. It is to meet these requisites that some gentlemen experi enced in financial and mercantile operations have associated themselves together in order to form an English company, in alliance with the following leading tanking - houses and capitalists of France, who are about to form a similar com pany in Paris, under the title of " Societe genet' de p ur favoriser le developpment de l'industrie et du commerce de la France," the application for a concession being made by— M. Archdeacon, Ancien Agent de Change. M. liartholony, President de la Cie. du Chemin de Fer de Paris h Orleans. Mff. Bischoffsheim, Goldschmidt, and Cie., Banquiers Paris. MM. Edwd.

Talabot, Directeur des Chemins de Fer de Paris it. Lyon, et ii, la Mediterranee. A treaty has been signed with this party by which they subscribe for 20,000 shares in this Company's present issue, and the same number in case of a second issue, the Company subscribingf or 20,000 of their shares, and arrangements being made by which the two Companies act as each other's agents, and have the option of participating to a certain extent in each others operations. The business will be to negotiate - Loans and Concessions, assist industrial enterprise s , Public Works and Railway un dertakings ; negotiate Foreign, Indian, and Colonial Bonds ; conduct Mercantile transactions ; and establish agencies for large commission business ' • In a word, to undertake a ll s u ch operations as an intelligent and experienced Cap talist might effect on his own account with a capital of millions, with the exception of such purely speculative transactions as are pro hibited by the Memorandum of Association. The credit and resources derived from a large subscribed capi tal could tiles be employed in earning dividend with a com paratively small paid-up capitaL It is probable that not more than 40 or 5o per cent would ever be called up on any shares, a further issue being made whenever the increase of business required it. No call will exceed £2 per share, or be made at Intervals of lees than two months. Instead of fixed salary, the Directors will receive no remu neration until the Shatehofdtrs have a dividend of 5 per cent. or upwards, and will then be paid by an allowance of 10 per cent. on the divisible profits of the year ; and their interests are further identified with the success of the Com pany by clauses in the Articles of Association, and by giv ng them the privilege of taking a fifth of any further issue of shares. Subjeet to this, and to the s ubscription of 20,000 shares in eash New Series by the French party, all new shares will be distributed pro rata among existing Share holders. _ 26,0 o shares have been subscribed as above stated by the French pgrty, and the remaining 105,000 by private subscrip tion ; but arrangements have been mode for deducting from these subscriptions, so as to give the public the option of Eubscribinn: for 35,000 shares. Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association lie for inspection at the Office of the Solicitors. Messrs. Baxter, Rose. Norton, and Co., 6, Victoria-street, Westminster; and at the Temporary Offices of the Company. Applications for shares may be made to the Directors, '2, King William-street, City; to Messrs. J.

Conolly, flirt of Rear-Admiral John Kingeotne,Corn mander-in-Chief in the Pacific. She was, at the time they were despatched, at Valparaiso all well. The screw steam sloop Alert, 17, Commander Ma gendiv, at Devonport, just co mm i ss i oned, is ordered 'to be stored and provisioned for immediate service. She was placed on SAtnrday in dock No. 1, to have her bottom cleaned and be overhlult d. His Swedish Majesty's corvette Lagerbjelkie, Capt. Herkipe, sailed from the Motherbank on Sa turday evening for Carlserona. n Her Majesty's screw frigate Leander, 39, 400 having made the final t r i a l o f h er ma eln d at the Nore, on Sat ur d ay , b y v h horse bower, i ie r e s -e Ary , w d miFis i nsp ected Sir r a .

The Leander will relieve the Topaze, 39, GOO horse power, carrying the broad pennant G f Commodore of the 2.1 class, the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer, the Topaze being about. to return to .FA4g,lapd. By di rection of the Admil,*alk eiefy tlZ'aipatch is to be used in hastening the departure of the Leander, in consequence of the serious delays which have taken place caused by the unsatisfactory working of her machinery. It is, however, the opinion of compe tent naval engineers and other officers at Chatham that, although the defects in the engines of the Leander have been temporarily overcome, her whole machinery is so defective that should she be des patched to her proposed station a very short inter val only will elapse before she will be compelled to return home to have her engines and boilers taken out. e Th followinga tthe A d Admiralty:—Co m mander r appo i ntmentsay :_ c a were ra Parry, to th e C am b r id ge ; Li eu t.

Address, MR. JAMES CHAMBERLIN, Foreign Wine Merchant, N orwich. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, SATURDAY REVIEW.—At last, somewhat pared and clipped, the Budget has been accepted by the House of Commons. It issues from that ordeal sub stantially the same as when it was introduced, but stripped of all the philosophic ornaments with which Mr. Gladstone's symmetrical mind had decked it. Mr. Gladstone's feelings are probably much in the condition of those with which an old maid, who has only just caught the train, and has secured her seat with difficulty after a desperate verbal engage ment with the guard, watches the fragments of her abandoned packages as they lie scattered upon the receding platform. The triumph of having caught the train at all enables her to contemplate without emotion crushed bonnet-boxes, dropped books, and sandwiches dispersed far and wide among the por ters. If she is philosophical, she reflects that it was almost a moral impossibility that she should succeed in getting so many loose packages into the train. In spite of their obvious disavantages, how ever, old maids always affect them ; and so do symmetrical Chancellors of the Exchequer. Mr. Gladstone has never brought i n a b udget w i t h out piling upon the top of it a heap o f these f i nanc i a l odds and ends. He hardly ever succeeds in carry ing the bundle through without the loss of one or two of them,though his mishaps have seldom been so nu merous and important as in the present year. Last year he only dropped the brewing tax that was to be exacted from the butlers of private gentlemen. The melancholy catalogue of this year—income tax on charities, legacy duty on Irish charities, licenses on clubs, and duties on carriers—is a much more seri ous affair. There would be some consolation in this wholesale slaughter if it were possible to hope that the race of these financial mosquitoes was extermi nated at last. But the productiveness of Mr. Glad stone, like that of the country over which he rules, is inexhaustible. No one who has watched his career can doubt that next year will see him with a fresh list of minute but ingenious projects, carefully calculated to keep the taxpayer in a condition of salutary irritation, without giving him the solace of reflecting that he is appreciably adding to the re venue. It is unquestionably this inveterate passion for microscopic symmetery which neutralises the influence that Mr. Gladstone's great power sought to exercise. It is singularly uncongenial to the nation with which he has to do. Englishmen cannot be accused in these days of an " ignorant impatience of taxation." They bear their enormous burden with great good humour, and more often force a Minister to increase it than to lighten it. The position of Chancellor of the Exchequer does not of itself, therefore, involve any special unpopularity. They know that he must take his pound of flesh, and they contentedly bare their breas+s for the operation. What that he should be perpetu ally snips in order to cut it square. taking gy additionalobject to i a Inartistic though it may seem, they prefer that the edges of the inevitable wound should be left uneven. He is himself aware 103 this time that these refine ments of financial surgery are far from popular. theT HE from WEEKLY his own REGISTER.—On niiri the But he cannot era di cate the inveterate taste for Emper or Napoleon ha s d evo l ved the task of making a great experiment i n G overnment, and he is accomplish ing it with equal firmness and adroitness. No truth of political philosophy is more clear than that you cannot fit a constitution on to a people as a tailor might a suit of clothes. If it it is to be stable, it rrust develop gradually from the genius of the people like the other growths of nature. France herself has had a bitter exp er i ence of constitution-mongering. On p the whole, th e essentials for the stability of a people are, a Gover nment corresponding w i th its tastes and tempers, an d material prosper i ty. There is no constitution in th e world that i s so t h oroughly the produce of gr a d ua l development as our own —none that has so happil y led individual with the traditions of power;econci on aspect is more th oroughly in harmony with the ideas and principl es of the day; and whose r oots at the same time st ray deeper d own i n t o t h e past, r nw v h id o u s a el liberty whence they derive no little sap and nourishment. Yet we doubt whether even it would stand the test of national misfortune and general poverty. The Emperor Napoleon is, we think, shrewdly acting on these principles. He is putting into the French soil the elemental principles of constitutional liberty that have blossomed and brought forth fruit in this country ; and he has set himself the task of watch ing and guarding their development, according to the genius of his people. It was essential for this that he should begin with absolitism. We cannot, in fairness, deny this. The executive must have a strength that should take away all hope of resist. ance. This was the most difficult part of his task ; because it involved what appears on the surface a glaring inconsistency. But he has succeeded so far, and he has resisted the temptation that has overthrown so many absolute monarchs. He seems to be using his power as the nursing shelter for the growth of constitutionalism. He has developed, with wonderful success, the material resources of the country. He has raised France to her proper place in the Councils of Europe, and lie is consoli dating what was left of public sentiment, of law, and of freedom. Of course, his difficulty is the suc cession. The trial that destroyed the Czesars awaits his dynasty. But the circumstances are far more favourable. Rome had not been thrice plunged into the misfortunes and excesses of revolution. Neither had Rome had the advantage of Chris tian civilisation. If he can contrive to open the paths of material prosperity to Frenchmen and to make them on the whole contented with their ex isting Government, his heir may y succeed to his throne. EXAMINER.—Of all systems for the ascertain ment of title to property, public registry is the best, when clearly kept and p unct ually posted up, b u t of all systems it is obviously the worst when these conditions are not fulfilled. The latter was the state in which the office at Dubl in was found upon recent official inquiry, and a p erson applying for permission to search its records, in o r d er to know whether he was safe in buying or lendi ng hi s money on a particular landed estate, instead of being able to satisfy himself as to who was entitled to sell, or how much there was over and above incumbrances to buy, was told by some drowsy sexagenarian or some scatter-brained fop that he could not possibly have the information he sought for weeks or mont h s to come. For years the delays in the R eg i stry - o ffi ce in Ireland have been continually compla i ned of, but like many other things on the oth er s i de of the chann a e ll l ow de e m d atnodigongfropmrabcta.idcatlo remedies, emoresdies they had been without ' any attempt being made at legislative intervention. At length a bill was framed and introduced by Go vernffient, proposing . to turn the old pa l ace of indo lence into an undersized official workshop, and for this purpose to clear out useless hands and make new appointments. Whereupon three-score vested interests took the alarm, and such active agencies were set in motion to baffle the measure and to re prieve the condemned wen, that when the bill came to be discussed in the House of Commons hardly an Irish member, whether Orange or Green, w a s found to support it. Had Lord Palm erston's Secretary for Ireland been acquainted with the country with whose concerns he is officially identified, or capable of mastering the details of essentially practical subjects, the ease might, perhaps, have ended diffe rently. He would probably have been able to win over the support or neutralise the opposition of a portion at least of the Irish members, and at all events lie would doubtless have succeeded in throw ing upon them the responsibity of suggesting some better measure. But the member for Tamwort la is in himself a receipt for failure. An air of absurdity attaches itself to everyt hi ng ser i ous h e a tt em pt s; and there i s a m i sc hi evous grav i ty a b out his ill, tiined jokees prognosticatedthat vouldseNh tvaelo ho esssuwsacespatiphil)eoinrtaecde of ha I s r i v s e h n p than he has to deal with inc e s sa ntly by the ears. What w Chief Secretary has fatally happ ene d. He has and marredren rendered d y t he question confusion he e ventured d i t a o nd touch, jea lousies only worse confounded. We cannot wonder that the representatives of a sister country should show little disposition to follow the legislative lead of one so utterly incompetent to guide or govern. We were therefore not surprised that Sir Roundel] Palmer should be put up to take the matter out of his incapable hands; or that finding the bill con demned as inadequate for its purpose by nearly all the members for het, nd, he should have advised its abandonment. The Solicitor-General told the house that he was happy to be able to announce that since the introduction of the measure the easy-going oc cupants of the Registry office had wakened up, and by a patriotic effort had succeeded in wiping off the arrefr ; so that some good had been effected after all : and with this Parthian dart the battle ended. THE LONDON REVIEW.—It was the opinion of Mr. Weller, senior—and his prolonged experience as the driver of a stage-coach gave weight to his authority—that the keepers of turnpike bars are all on 'em men as has met with some disappointment in life. Conse quence of vich they retires from the vorld and shuts themselves up in pikes ;:partly with the view of being solitary, and partly to rewenge themselves on man kind by takin' tolls." Since the delivery of this dic tum the establishment of railways has greatly favoured their indulgence in a taste for seclusion. At no time has the most misanthropic amongst them had cause to fear that he was wearing away life without sensibly augmenting the sufferings of his race. Their exactions drove half a dozen counties to the semi-revolt of the Rebecca riots. In many parts of England bars hem in the country towns with im penetrable lines of circumvallation, which make loco motion a nuisance, and the possession of a horse and a vehicle an expensive torture. Even if the tax upon our pockets were less considerable than it is, the constant blister to our tempers would still be a serious grievance. No eater bodily pain is equal to that inflicted by water falling drop after drop upon the head. Nor can there be a worse fiscal infliction than an impost which perpetually lies in wait for victims, and is ever ready to punish by mean exac tion of coppers the slightest indulgence in a vagrant habit. As a general rule we recognise in direct tax ation the convenience of making a man pay once for all the annual sum at which he is assessed towards any given object. Oar streets and parochial high ways are kept up by a parochial rate, and not by the daily and hourly extortion of contributions to wards their maintenance. We know how it happens that the expense of repairing Fleet-street is defrayed in one way, and that of repairing the turnpike road to Barnet in another. But to account for an anomaly is not to justify it. As the street and the road are equally matters of public concern, there can be no reason why one should be supported by a general rate and the other should de pend upon payments made fcr its use. In no other country but England are the main lines of comma uication in the hands of private proprietors, who are authorised to make travellers stand and deliver at the distance of every few miles. THE LAW TIMES —The question, whether a soli citor in practice should be appointed a justice of the peace for the borough in which he practises, has received an official solution. The Lord Chancellor has refused the request of the Town Council of Wolverhampton that he would place the name of Mr. H. H. Fowler, the present mayor, in the Com mission of the Peace, on the express ground, as stated in his answer to the memorial, that " the Lord Chan cellor will not consent to break the rule which it has been found necessary to make against the appointment as a magistrate of any gentleman whose name appears upon the roll of attorneys ants solicitors.'-' The rule r ee--tbua-stated, is certa:l3li much wider than it was understood to be. Succes sive Chancellors have refused to put into the com mission solicitors practising in the county, city, or borough within which they would act as justices, for the reason—on the validity of which opinions will differ—that circumstances m a y arise in which into conflict. duties of judge and practiti oner ma y come conflict. The objection is, perhaps, more theoreti cal than practical. Solicitors are eligible to be mayors; and, in fact, many solicitors are elected to that office, and fill it with honour to themselves and advantage to the community. Mayors are ex officio magistrates for their year of office, and for one year after; consequently, we do actually wit ness the state of things which the rule of the Lord Chancellor professes to prevent—that is to sa y, p rac tising solicitors acting as justices in cities and boroughs. And what is the result of this ex perience ? Why, that in no single instance has the supposed difficulty occurred, and in all cases the solicitors have discharged theirjudicial d u ti es to the entire approbation of t heir fellow-citizens. That the objection of the Lord Chancellor is not shared by those who would be the first to see and feel it, is P roved by the growing desire to plac e solicitors in the civic chair, mainly because th e y are found to be the best magistrates. Surely, the n , if the inhabitants of the city or borough, h av i ng a f ree choice, select a solicitor to be their chief magistrate, there can be no reason for retaining a rule of exclu sion which, however reasonable it may appear in the abstract, is proved not to be supported by ex perience. THE READER.—What used to be the p reva l en t doctrine or style of speculation respecting the great social experiment going on in the New World, and its probable rebound on the more veteran and com plex civilisation of the Old ? Unless we are mis taken, something like this :—More than three hund red years ago our European forefathers discovered what may be called a new check to our plan e t— a vast habitable continent , previously unknown, wherein there were scattered relics of strange races that had roamed over it or dwelt on it ; but the se relics, so scanty and mean, in proportion to the ex panse and its capabilities, that it seemed as if God had kept the land vacant, in the sheer care of the elements and a few red Indians, until the men of the Old World should have occasion for it, and should be ready to enter upon the possession. Accordingly, America did become mere new space and growing ground for colonies from the chief European nations —of which colonies those of English or Anglo- Saxon foundation gradually proved themselves the most capable, and superseded or absorbed the others, or distanced them in wealth, importance, and strength. But what sort of items from her own body did the Old World thus part with, and send over to form the beginnings of the body-politic in the New ? Items of all sorts ; but with this one common character amid all their diversities, that they were the extreme ti▪ ps and clippings, the very last developments, of the social, moral, and intellectual tendencies of the Old World. Still the notion was that what was seen there was simply a transplantation of what was best and most advanced, or at least most ex treme and developed, in the social tendencies of Europe--a transplantation into a freer space and ampler growing-ground, where, disentangled from impediments and restrictions, it might extend and flourish, and where, moreover, from the very neces si▪ ty that there should be peace and mutual tolera tion among so many elements of different origin, problems of government and civil equality never solved in the Old World were sure to be worked out. Hence the idea was that the Great Ameri can Republic was an experiment of cosmopo litical significance, a kind of pilot-experiment for all humanity, showing, by the actual spectacle of a nation ahead of the rest by its constitutio n and in its processes, what all the world, or at least all the civilised world of Europe, was certainly coming to, if it advanced at all. Something like this, we say, was the prevalent doctrine and . style , of speculation .ii with regard to America. .A wise I ocquevi e, also, sympathetically and admiringly .studying Ameri can civilisation, could see danger s . in it ; and, while admitting it to be a splendid p i lot-experiment. for the whole earth, could not but . recognise certain su perioriti.es still apparently inseparable from the civilisation of the older and more crowded nations of Europe. Among ourselves there were some deep thinkers, by whom the material prosperity of the American Republic was regarded as a phenome non to be explained by mainly physical causes, and no t very admirable essentially, and not likely to last very long. Again, there were shrewd and g ki n dly travellers, like Dickens,sht back from America, the who b row menenand manners there, results of their direct observation of su ch reports as c ou ld not, whatever were one's philosophical prepossessions,, give one a very l o f ty idea of the pe cu li ar i t i es of the actual American mind, It is extrsord . wary to note how courageously NIT.. Dickens, in his " Chuzzlewit," set down, on the faith of his own impressions, things about the Aoler jeans which it was not the fashion to express then, het which it has been common enough to say of late. Finally, there were the liberal and philanthropic men, who, full of admiration for America, saw the black spot of slavery in the very centre of what they admired, and who wondered how and when the spot was to disappear. Still on the whole the prevalent doctrine with respect to America, in quarters where doctrines about any thing exist, was very much what we have described .ATREN.EUM.—M. de Quatrefages, who seems to regard all scientific doubt as to the fossil jawbone found at Moulin-Quignon, near Abbeville, as so much depreciation of the glory of France, continues to fight for the authenticity. It is another Crecy, another Agincourt, and the battle seems likely to have a similar result. M. Quatrefages says his first, convictions have been strengthened by a further examination both of the jewbone and the flint hatchet found near it. He quotes the opinions of MM, Delesse, Desnoyers, Gaudry, tie Vilbraye and Lyman, who all concur in considering the jawbone perfectly authentic. M. Pictet, after examining it with care, had declared that he had not ex pected it to offer such conclusive evidence, As to Dr. Falconer's assertion that the tooth which had been found, besides being very white still contained a large proportion 4 f gelatine, M. Quatrefages contended that n6c44xj,stence of gelatine h a d occurre d ere this-in fossit teeth of much greater - antiquity than any which could be found in drift. Messrs. Prestwich, Falconer, Burk, and Carpenter are in Paris, strong in their convic tions, and we hear that many French inquirers are already of their opinion as to the spuriousness of this extraordinary discovery in the drift. SOCIAL SCIENCE REVIEW. —The vast amount of money kept in greater or less sums on the premises by retail dealers, farmers, and others, and hence kept exposed to depredation as well as to the loss of interest, is highly discreditable to the good sense and frugality of the persons who do it. Of this publicans are a common example, and they are fre quent victims of depredation. In the course of some investigations of systematic depredation, a police officer stated to us that when the extent of culpable exposure of property was considered, there ought to be little surprise at the extent of habitual depreda tion. Thus he said he might almost undertake to find blindfold large sums of money kept by publi cans as well as by other tradesmen. He would grope his way to the bedroom on the second floor, and he would find a chest of drawers with three large drawers, and two small drawers at the top ; in the right hand small drawer, which had the com monest lock, one that might be opened by a nail or a piece of bent wire, would be found a bowl in which there was silver and gold, and now and then notes, kept for paying the brewer and the distiller. These stores are from time to time swept away by thieves. And so it is frequently with other tradesmen, who keep for months as well as weeks their quarterly collections in the most exposed manner on the pre mises. One common course of depredation in Lon don is on the Sunday, when a tradesman goes out on a pleasure excursion with his wife and children, leaving a servant girl alone in charge of the house and shop. A young fellow, a thief, pays court to her, and gains admission to the premises, finds out where the money is kept, and in re gular course it is stolen. I do not see why some of the more popular banks should not make arrangements for receiving cash boxes with the money collected up to Saturday after banking hours and save the risk of keeping it on the exposed pre mises during the Sunday. THE MEDICAL TIMES.—Dr. Richardson, on the 9th instant, conducted an inquiry which may ulti mately be often resorted to in those medico-legal investigations in which the question of identity is involved. On the preceding Wednesday an inquest was held by Mr. Humphreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, on the body of a man who bad been found drowned in the Thames, and who was assumed to have been the murderer of the unfortunate girl Emma Jackson, who was found some weeks sites with her throat cut in a brothel in St. Giles. The witnesses who knew the supposed murderer were taken to view the body of the deceased man on Wed nesday, but the body was so decomposed, the face so black, and the tissues so swollen, that they were utterly unable to offer any opinion. To prevent the 1 - ow from - failing - througbr -- Dr. — .lttetnitdson Bug. the id, first to Dr. Lankester, and afterwards to Mr. , nphreys, that probably the features of the dead wan might be greatly restored. Mr. Humphreys thereupon requested Dr. Richardson to make the attempt, end deputed Dr. Edmunds to take part in carrying out the operation. The process adopted by Dr. Richardson consisted in immersing the body in a salt water bath for two hours; then the face was raised from the water and exposed to chlorine ; and finally the arteries leading to the face were injected with chlorine water containing chloride of zinc and a little sesqui-chloride of iron. The decomposition of the tissues was so great that the operations were at tended with mach difficulty, but the resultajudicially were all that could be desired. The face was brought from dark black to a pale ash colour, the tumefaction was reduced and all the witnesses on viewing the body after the process were enabled to depose without hesitation that the body was not that of any man whom they had ever seen ; while one witness (Stoke) swore positively that it was not the person who attended Emma Jackson when he saw her last. Dr. Richardson and Dr. Edmunds were also enabled to determine that the dead man was a young man of 21 or 22, whose beard had not been shaven, and whose whiskers were imperfectly developed. While we may look upon this inquiry as fruitful in its results practically, we may add the fact that Dr. Richardson believes that in future much more per fect results may be secured, and we may hope that by improvements in the different steps of the pro ceedings, any dead body, the tissues of which are not actually destroyed, may be so far restored as to be identified. This is a new feature in Forensic Medicine, and one which may render service to the public, and reflect credit on modern Medical science. SPECTATOR. — Since the untimely death of Sir G. C. Lewis Mr. Gladstone is recognised by common consent as the heir apparent to the leadership of the Liberal party; and those, therefore, who, like our selves, are not quite so ductile to the rash timidity and dangerous caution of the times as to look with equanimity on the prospect of a long series of years in which the Government of this country should cover with its aegis every rotten abuse, and wave aside every noble cause till it has ceased to need our aid, must henceforth watch the Chancellor of the Exchequer's career with mingled anxiety and pride. He alone can pretend to lead the Liberals ; but it is useless to ignore the fact that he will be a leader whom all the Conservatives will delight to assault, and not quite all the Liberals will delight to de fend. Nay, we must say more,—though he will be a leader to be followed with enthusiasm, — with far greater loyalty of sentiment than one can readily feel for Lord Palmerston's pleasant and politic expediency,—we must often, too, fol low him with anxiety and trembling, as a leader whose thoughts and ways are not very easy to anti cipate—one of the greatest defects in the leader of a popular party—and whose mind is too inventive for any large measure of that political sagacity whitlfinds the true track rather by scent t . han d intellec tual effort. Great parties like to havetenaowers whose thoughts and measures they seem o go ce g at least—We before hand. Lord J. Russell ( would not say the same o -w f h he im n t in s leader of opposi tion) had this advantage, tha his a views were a sort They were of familiar liturgy to his party accus tomed to his constitutional forms of praise and prayer, and too came prepared to chime i n at theri right moment. Mr. Gladstone ja, however, at once original, and to o discursive in the plan of his ori ginality, for a mod el leader. A parliamentary part ie, in this, like a volunteer army ; it wants leading, but it wants to be led only where it is well prepared to go. Few men can persuade or convince like Mr. Gladstone ; but after all, a convinced regi ment e specially if convinced against its will, and therefore is not a 'gel; manageable of the same opinion still, regiment, and the convincing art should be reserved Issues, not 'lavished on for great occasions and g reat • small expedients. Mr. Gladstone's moral sympathies are one of the secrets of his great oratorical influ ence in the House of Commons. Pacific, and h ioefull of that temperyt e eminently gene rous i n of what we may Call Christian exp e di ency, which gives so aml a b eas sobriety to his politi ca l h opes and wishes, M r . Gladstone is the n a t ura l li n k b etween the commercial spirit of his country and the higher culture of the age. One of Mr. Gl a d s t one ' s most eminent characteristics . _ as a P ar li amen t ary l ea d er , a which is closely llied both with his great qualifi cations and some disqualifications for the supreme post, is his wonderful power as a debater—which is, indeed, in some respects, too great. His mind may be said to swarm arguments, all of them at least telling, and for the time converging on his point; but still of that independent and tenacious vitality that they do not perish with the occasion, but are apt to return upon their progenitor at inconvenien . t seasons, when they are not likely to strengthen his position. There is none of that parsimony of logic about Mr. Gladstone—that disposition to use up the same considerations again and viola till they are a THE ARMY. The first of the new Boards ordered to assemble at Chatham for the inspection and discharge of in valid and time-expired men sent home from India and the colonies was held at that garrison on Satur day, when a number of non-commissioned officers from the several districts were ordered to be dis charged on the completion of their period of enlist ment, or their unfitness for further service. Under the new regulations, which will effect a considerable saving to the public, the system of sending soldiers found unfit for service at the home stations to the Chatham invalid depot twice a year is discontinued. The troops found unfitted for further service from illness or other causes, are sent to the head-quarters of the district in which they are serving, where they are to be examined by a board of officers. A notification has been received at Chatham gar rison that the next examination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, under the regulations, dated Horse Guards, May _l, 1862, will commenjo at _Chelfwa Hospital on - June 22, before Major-Gen. F. W. Hamilton, C. 8., Vice- President, and the Council of Military Education. The examination of candidates for commissions in the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers for ad mission to the Royal Military Academy, under re gulations dated Horse Guards, May 5, 1862, will commence on July 2 ; and that of candidates for admission to the Staff College on July 22. On Saturday detachments of troops from the three battalions of infantry at Chatham proceeded from that garrison to the Government rifle range, near Gravesend, for the purpose of going through a course of ball practice, previous to embarking for India with the reinforcements about to be despatched during the present summer. The left wing of the 6th Foot will leave Gosport this morning by a special train on the South-West ern Railway for Aldershot camp,. via Farnborough. ' A detachment of 92d Highlanders arrived in the river on board the Surrey, East Indiaman, from India, is expected to arrive at Gosport in the after part of to-day, and will take possession of the quar ters vacated by the left wing of the 6th. The re mainder of the 92d, hourly expected in England on board another transport, will, on arrival, join the detachment at Gosport, and the right wing of the 6th will join the left in camp at Aldershot. Major the Hon. S. L. Talbot, from half-pay unat tached, has been appointed to the 4th depot batta lion at the Camp at Colchester, in the room of Major Greene, who has retired upon half-pay; and Major Swinburne, of the 18th Regiment, has been appointed to the 10th depot battalion, in the room of Major West, retired upon half-pay. On Fri day a private named Smith, of the sth Fusiliers, was drummed out of his regiment. Smith had been for some time in hospital for treatment of rigidity of the knee. The medical officers, believing that his lameness was feigned, administered chloroform, and the knee was instantly and easily bent. He was tried by court-martial and sentenced to be expelled the army, and to undergo six months' imprisonment. corporal hie n e 0 k a b n y d About noon on Friday the 10th battalion was mus tered near the Military Hospital, and Smith was brought, with other prisoners, from the guard house.
