(Hear.) He entered upon that contest trusting, he hoped not in vain, to the sympathies of the Liberal party. The question before them was a per fectly simple one, It was this, —Would they send to the House of Commons a member who represented the principles of that party which was supported by their present member, and which was supported by Mr. Milnes ; or would they send a member to the House of Commons whose vote would neutralise the vote of the other member, and render the voice of Pontefract as, in-effect,gold for nothing P (Hear.) If they sent one man connected with one party, and another connected with the other party, it came to pretty much the same thing as if they did not send any anybody. (Hear.) If they did not want to do that, they must take a Liberal candidate, and if they did not think him fit he hoped they would get another, and it would give him very great pleasure to see him elected.

Under the new iegulations the Royal EnOieers will no longer be required to go through the whole of their rifle course at Gravesend, arrangements having been completed for instructing the men in the prelimi nary course of rifle firing at Chatham, where they will be placed under the instruction of Lieutenant Jones, the officer selected for that duty. As soon as the men have completed their preliminary course they will be despatched to Milton to go through a course of ball practice. THE FOUMN-HAND CLUB, (From Rally's Magazine for August.)

The deficienc' of Hotel accommodation in India, China, and other places in the East to which Europeans now resort in large and annually increasing* numbers. is a subject of general compl int ; and it is evident that the development <►t the means of trans, by ocean and river steamers, and by railways, which has been in rapid piiig,ress now for some years, must imperiectly fulfil all is important objects, so far as E 7 aropean intercourse with the East is cone rned, until thi`.4 want is adequately supplied. In England, and on the , J ,-, ntinent of Europe, it is now an msce - tained fact that the joint-stock system may most suc cessfully be applied to the establishment of Hotels of the first class. If this be so where good private Hotels before existed in large numbers, there seems no reason to doubt that an equal degree of commercial success is attainable by the application of capital, upon the same system. to the same object, in countries where, though the demand is great and increasing, it may almost be said that good private Hotels do not exist. Mr. MOORHOUBE expressed his confidence that Sir Edmund's principles were in unison with those of the majority of the electors, and stated that it would be ungrateful in them to weaken, even by a single member, that Government which had con ferred so distinguished an honour on their late respected member, Mr. Monckton Milnes.

If it be desired to appreciate justly the actual phase of the Polish question, one must remember first of all the situation in which Russia found herself when the insurrection broke out. Then it might be believed that the Polish movement would be accompanied and supported by great internal trou bles in Russia. But this hope, which was shared, perhaps, by some of the brave people on the banks of the Thames, has been completely falsified, and, on the contrary, the Russian Government finds in the enthusiasm of the people a basis of action as well as the obligation of repelling the desire of the Western Powers.

In Calcutta a joist-stock company has lately purchased and undertaken the management of an Hote , , and the pro spects of the enter. rise, as a commercial speculation, may be Jae, red from the very high prem um at which their shares are quoted in the Calcutta market, see "Times" Jul 17, the "Englishman's Weekly Mail" of June 8, 1863, and "Allen's Indian viz., £25 paid, present value, .€42 i ex div., equal to 70 per cent. premium, and the payment of a dividend of 10 ter cent. for the half-year ending 30th April last, equal to 20 per cent. per annum. Bombay offers a wide field for th.e establishment of an Hotel of a firs- class character. The early completion of vast lines of railway converging in this island of Bombay, and the more frequent steam communica tion between that pert and Europe which will soon tak place, must very much increase the demand for such accom modation. The same may be said of Madras. It is under these circumstances that the Oriental Hotels Company iLimited) is established, in the confiient belief that the application of European capital to India in this form will not be less profitable than useful. It is proposed, in the first instance, to supply the urgent requirements of Bombay and Point de Galle. There are equally important places which will naturally engage the early attention of the Company, such for example as Madras, Singapore, and Kurrachee ; not 10 speak of many very important railway stations in the in tenor of India, where there are now no Hotels at all, and where. at a comparatively small outlay, there is a large field for profitab e opet ations. The largerclass of the Company's Hotels will afford all the conveniences of the best European Hotels, adapted to the climate, and to the habits of those for whom they are in tended ; whilst, in even the smallest class, the health and comfort of the inmates will be carefully studied. It is intended t o constitute loml committees of management in each Presidency where Hotels may be established. In the event of two-thteds of the first issue of shares not beinz subscribed for. r , :o allotment will take place, and the deposits will be retuned to the subscrib_rs, without deduc tion. It is propose_a to pay to shareholders 5 per cent. interest upon the caidtal as paid up, until the first dividend is de clared. Prospc , ctuses and forms of application for shares may be had on application to the Bankers, the Broker, or the Secre tary. Open at half past Seven. Admission, Sixpence. Stalls and Balcony, le.

The MAORI WARRIOR CHIEFS will make their APPEARANCE THIS EVENING. In this is the explanation of the inconsistency of the English Cabinet, which has never desired war, but which hoped to arrive at the same end by simple threats. Besides England more than ever is interested in reference to the American crisis in carefully regulating its relations with Russia, and would be the first to suffer from the blockade of Russian ports. In addition to that England is too practical to back up France, which, as has been said, would wish to break the peace of Europe, in appearance for Poland, but in reality with very different objects in view. The old Lord Firebrand would also appear to know very well that, ac cording to his own expression, Austria is less disposed than ever to throw a spark among the combustible elements in ROYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE.

The more the situation turns in our favour by force of circumstances, the more we consider it as an urgent task of Prussian policy to seek in this direction a greater associa tion and an understanding with Austria. and particularly with England. Russia alone is not for us an ally altogether sufficient, or altogether to be depended on. If we persist much longer in the reserve now maintained our position will be more and more compromised and deprived of influence, so much the more as the final object of some politicians would very well l extend to the isolation of Prussia in Europe and in Germany, and placing it in a situation like that in whieh Austria found herself at the time of the Italian war.

It appears that the directors of this company have decided on recommending a dividend for the past half-year of 31 per cent, per annum, carrying forward a balance of £3,700. The dividend for the corresponding half of 1862 was at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum. WORCESTER, BROM YARD, AND LEOMINSTER. An adjourned special meeting of this company was held at Malvern on Thursday, Mr. C. Hastings in the chair, to consider a provisional agreement with the West Midland Company for working the traffic. The CHAIRMAN having stated the object of the meeting, The SOLICITOR read the agreement, which was to the effect that the West Midland or Great Western should work the line for 521 per cent. of the receipts, and the Worcester, Bromyard, and Leominster Company were to receive the remaining 471 per cent. ; the West Midland were to allow a rebate in the event of the receipts of the Worcester, Brom yard, and Leominster line being insufficient to pay the in terest and other fixed charges. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the company on the satis• factory character of the agreement, and moved its confirma tion. Mr. KING, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was carried, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. Name. The Right Hon. Lord Leigh. E. F. Flower. Esq , Mayor Six R.N. C.

It is expected that the extension line of this company from Truro to Falmouth will be opened in about a month. An engine traversed the whole length of the line for the first time on Thursday. Great preparations are being made at Falmouth to celebrate the opening. The subscriptions for that purpose now exceed £3OO. COMMERCIAL DOCK. Yesterday a special meeting of this company was held at the offices in Fenchurch-street, Mr. A. Sims in the chair. After considerable discussion ; in which Messrs. E. Wilson, Hankey, Carter, and others took part, ari agreement entered into with the Grand Surrey Dock Company for the amalga mation of the two companies was unanimously approved, Under the provisions of the agreement every holder of ordi nary stock in the Commercial Dock Company is to be en titled to the same amount of stock in the amalgamated corn :, a ny, and every holder of £lOO in the Grand Surrey Docks to £ll7los. in the amalgamated company. It was stated that the aggregate capital of the Commercial Company was £558,000, and of the Grand Surrey £653,000, and that the amalgamated undertaking would be the Surrey Commercial Dock Company. COMETS !—Sir Sohn Herschell, in G oo d W ords for August, says — The number of comets w h ose periodical return has been calculated is pretty considerable, altogether abGut thirty-six, and of these there are five which revolve in periods of from seventy to eighty years, and several of the rest in short periods from three to seven years. And it is a very remarkable feature in their history that all the comets of short periods, and three out of the five of those of the longer ones specified, revolve in the same direc tion round the sun as the planets, and have their orbits in clined at no very large angles to the ecliptic. 'ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills—Healthy Homes. —Nine-tenths of our ailments might be altogether pre vented, or directly cured, if the first faulty action were set right. This great end is accomplished with wonderful cer tainty and safety by Holloway's Pills, which are equally suited to every constitution and climate. They purity the blood, that seat of life and source of health, and in its re vivifying streams diffuse regularity and vigour throughout the system, an d g i ves every organ its proper natural func tion. Hollow a y's pills have done for the dyspeptic and low spirited wh a t no wea lth or wisdom had previously achieved ; they have put it in their power to conquer their miserable feelings. Last night a meeting of the electors of Ponte fract was held at Knot tingley, to hear an address from the Liberal candidate, Sir Edmund Head. The candidate was introduced by Mr. John Carter, of Lime-grove, Knottingley, who said they would all agree with him that Mr. Milnes, who had so pro perly been raised to the Peerage, had served them well and truly fur a period of 25 years—(hear)— and he hoped he might enjoy for many years the high honour conferred on him by her Mejesty the Queen. (Applause.) He had much pleasure in introducing to them Sir Edmund Head, who for many years had been governor of New Brunswick, in North America, and likewise of the united provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. He believed that from Sir Ed mund's knowledge of practical questions, he would represent them most ably in Parlia ment, should they be fortunate enough to send him there as their member. (Hear, hear.) Sir EDMUND H. HEAD, who was warmly re ceived, said he had come before them as a stranger, and he felt that in order to secure their support he must explain to them the grounds on which he sought to represent them in Parliament. The state of the case was this :—Mr. Milnes had been elevated to the Upper House. He rejoiced that elevation, because he felt that Mr. Milnes fully deserved it, and he asked them to send in his place a member who would support that Government by the advice of which Mr. Milnes had received the dignity that bad been conferred upon him. (Hear, hear.) The question was on what principles he came before them, and he would say that he came before them on the great principles of civiland religious liberty, which had been maintained, as he understood, by their representatives for a long time, and which, he believed, they were all deeply and heartily attached to. (Hear, hear.) The principles of civil and re ligious liberty were dear to the people of England. (Hear, hear.) Whenever an advance had been made in that direction, by what party had it been made ? He asked them, whenever civil and religious liberty had been promoted, whenever toleration had been extended, whenever the rights of those who did not belong to the Established Church had been advanced, or whenever the rights of those who claimed a lower franchise and wished for additional power in consequence of superior qualification to wield it, had been extended, who fought for them ? The answer was the great Liberal party. (Hear, hear.) And who opposed the granting of those rights as a general rule ? He did not wish to attack any party, but he would say that those rights had been fought for by the Liberal party, and opposed by the other. (Hear, hear.) That was the great distinction in the two parties. They might find every day questions arising in which the two parties differed very little one from the other. There were not many ques tions now which formed a test, but that was because the Liberal party had fought out the questions, and the others had been obliged to give them up. (Hear.) That was the reason there was so little difference, because the other side had been forced to adopt the results fought for by the Liberals. (Hear, hear.) There was, however, a real distinction he • tween the parties. When they wanted to know what a man would do hereafter, they ought to look at what he had done before. (Hear, and applause.) He asked for the support of the electors as one be longing to the Liberal party, as one who would support that Government which had conferred an honour on their late representative, and he looked to those who had recognised the merit of their present representative (Mr. Childers) to return one who en tertained the same principles and who was ready to abide by them. (Applause.) With regard to do mestic questions, he should always lean to that side which he believed to be in favour of free govern ment and of increasing the rights of those who were fit to use them ; of extending religious liberty, and of allowing every one the right of exercising his own opinion. (Hear, and applause.) In that con sisted the true principle of the party with which he would, if returned, identify himself in Parliament. (Hear.) He thought, as a whole, the present Go vernment deserved the confidence of the people. (Hear.) He did not say all the measures that had been adopted by them met with his approbation, but he thought the general current and tenor of their measures were towards those principles of libe rality which he had been attempting to de scribe. (Hear. hear.) He thought, in another matter of paramount importance to the people of England, of paramount importance to the industrial classes, the present Government had done their duty, and that was in keeping the country in a state of perfect peace. Government had so admini stered the foreign affairs of this country as to keep out of war as much as possible. He looked upon war as the greatest curse that could happen to the human race, the greatest evil that could occur to this or any other nation. (Hear.) He was not prepared to sub mit to insult from any nation—(hear, hear)—nor was he prepared to support any Government that submitted or truckled to any nation ; but there was a wide distinction between that and going readily to work and involving the country in endless expense, and perhaps on account of a people with whom we had nothing whatever to do. While we had every sympathy with foreign nations who made efforts on behalf of their own independence—while he rejoiced that Lord Palmerston had thrown the moral weight of England in the scale in favour of Italy—(hear),— while he saw the noble efforts put forth by the Poles to free themselves from Russian oppression, yet he trusted nothing would be done by the English Go vernment that would stir up a war with those coun tries. (Hear.) He did not wish to see the taxes, which were already heavy enough, increased in con sequence of a war on behalf of a foreign people. His policy, therefore, was for non-interference, except so far as expression of opinion was concerned, for those who were tyranised over, because the work of libera tion from tyranny must be performed by the people themselves. (Hear, hear.) It was not for foreign nations to epend their money and waste their blood in trying to put right what, after all, they might leave in a worse state than when they began. (Hear.) He believed the present Govern ment deserved the support of the people, and for that reason he was prepared to give it his support. (Applause.) He would not say that he would sup port that Government through thick and thin. He should exercise his own judgment. (Hear.) He knew that in this country no Government could be carried on except by the machinery of party, a nd therefore it was necessary sometimes to support the Government, even when there might be a question upon the policy of the measure itself, simply on the ground that if that Govern ment were turned out they would get one that was worse, and have imposed upon them matters that were worse than those they felt it to be their policy to support. (Hear.) All that was perfectly con sistent with the exercise of proper and discreet judgment on questions which arose from day to day, and that judgment, if electea, he should always endeavour to exercise in a manner most consistent with right and most in accordance with the feel ings of his constituents. (Hear, hear.) There were certain questions which off cted all parts of the country, and some of those questions did not admit of being solved satisfactorily to everybody. He knew very well that some in that neighbourhood had had reason to be discon tented with the operations and changes in the na • vigatiou laws. He was quite awake to the import ance of the British interests in the coasting trade — (hear, hear)—alive to all that depended upon their commerce, and upon the trade that took place from one port to another within our own sear. He could not at that moment pretend to tell them how far it was possible to right the grievances which existedbe under the present order of things, but he should happy to receive from any of them suoh inh-trma)- tion on any of these grievances as the might be tendent of the yard; Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Cumberland, guardahip of the Sheer ness steam reserve ; Capt. J. Fulford, of her Ma jesty's ship Formidable, flagship ; Col. W. R. Ned ham, R.A., Garrison Commandant ; Lieut.-Colonel Talbot, R.A., commanding First Depot Brigade Royal Artillery; Col. S. Freeth, R.E., commanding Royal Engineers, and the head officials of the seve ral departments connected with the yard. Their lordships visited first the Capt.-Superintendent's office, where they were engaged for some time in the transaction of official business. They pro ceeded afterwards to the naval barracks, which were thoroughly inspected. The screw steam frigate Arethusa, 35, recently brought forward in this yard for the first division of the steam reserve, was next inspected, and the serviceable appear ance of the vessel called forth their Lordships' warm commendation. Passing onwards to the east mast-house, a large number of boilers lying in front of the factory department attracted their notice, and were duly examined, after which they visited successively the mast-houses, boiler shop, coal store, the new well now being constructed by Mr. T. Tilley, contractor, of Ealing, and the vessels Terrible, 21, paddle-wheel frigate, 1,850 tons, 500 horse power, and the Scylla, 21, screw steam corvette, 1,467 tons, 400-horse power. Their Lordships and suite were then escorted to the official residence of the Capt.- Superintendent, where they partook of luncheon. They afterwards inspected the new slaughterhouses erected by order of the Lordships for the supply of beef to the navy. Returning thence to the dockyard, a large model of the yard as ex hibited and explained to them. The inspection con cluded with a visit to the Conqueror (late Waterloo) 78, screw steam line-of-battle ship, 2,845 tons, 500 horse power, lying in the harbour. Their lordships dined at the Admiralty-house with the Commander in -Chief, and left Sheerness in the Enchantress at 11 o'clock p.m. for Chatham. Her Majesty's iron steam storesbip Industry, Master-Commander Edward C. T. Youel, was yes terday undocked at Woolwich, after being surveyed and repaired. On being hauled into the river by the steam tug Bustler, both her tow-ropes parted, and the tide making slowly up at the time, she drifted foul of the flagship Fisgard, and also carried away the figurehead of the steamer Kite lying at her moorings, and recently brought home from Bermuda, condemned. Having sustained some slight injury, she will be detained for a few days for re pairs, after which she will proceed to Deptford to ship victualling stores for Ascension. The Dauntless, Capt. Dickson, left her moorings in the Southampton Water on the 25112 ult., for a cruise, to exercise night and general quarters. She made her number off Portland, and on Thursday night returned to her berth off Netley Point. Mr. Tucker and Mr. Leffey, principal foremen of shipwrights in Woolwich dockyard, under special sanction of the Board of Admiralty, have entered into the service of the Turkish Government for the term of three years, and will leave Woolwich this morning, the former for Glasgow and the latter for the Thames Ironworks, to superintend the construc tion of four iron-cased ships of war of heavy burden, which are already commenced. The following appointments were made on Thurs day at the Admiralty ;—Lieut. Albert P. Still and Leut. James A. Boxer to the Marlborough ; Mal colm M‘Neile, midshipman, to the Marlborough; Alex. M.

Notwithstanding that the Institute has been engaged in its sittings at Rochester the entire week, the proceedings appear to increase in interest, and yesterday, the fourth day of the congress, witnessed the largest at tendance of any day since the Institute has assembled for its annual meeting. Among the noblemen and gentry pre sent yesterday were Earl Amherst, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Gibraltar, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord Neaves, Professor Stanley, the Earl of Darnley, the Dean of Peterborough, the Provost of Oriel, the Rev. Dr. Griffith, Mr. D. Wilson (Toronto), Mr. Gilbert Scott, Sir R. Kirby, Sir Sibbald Scott, Col. Pinney, M.P., Sir John Boileau, Mr. W. W. E. Wynn, M.P., and Sir S. Glyn, Bart. A French savant, in the person of Mr. A. Maury, specially deputed by the Emperor of the French to attend the con gress, was also present, his Majesty having directed that distinguished archeologist to attend the meetings of the Institute for the purpose of hearing the paper by Dr. Guest, Master of Gonville and Caius College, on "The landing of Julius Cesar in England." The paper, however, was read on Wednesday, before the arrival of M. Maury, At the sitting of the section yesterday the first paper was read by the Very Rev. Dr. Hook, F.R.S., Dean of Chichester, on "iThe Life and Times of Gundulph, Bishop of:Rochester." In an exceedingly interesting paper, Dr. Hook traced with remarkable fullness the history of this prelate and his con nexion with Rochester, the see of which he held from 1077 till 1107, a portion of which period he was de facto Arch bishop of Canterbury, after the death of his friend and patron Lanfranc. Gundulph, however, is principally known as the builder of the White Tower of London, the Castle at Roches ter, and Mailing Abbey. The theory of his having built Rochester Cathedral is now abandoned by archeologists, Dr. Hook being of opinion that he only erected a very small portion of that edifice—namely, the crypt—while there are no reliable grounds for deeming him the builder of Roches ter Castle. This remarkable prelate, more, perhaps, than any other individual sf the time, stamped his character on the age in which he lived. At the close of the paper, the Bishop of Oxford proposed a vote of thanks to the Rev, Dr. Hook, many of the incidents in whose life his Lordship gracefully compared with those in the life of Gundulph. The next paper was read by Mr. J. H. Parker, F.S.A., on " Gundulph considered as an Architect." This was to have been followed by a paper by the Rev. W. Stubbs, M.A., on "The Early History of the See of Rochester, mote particu larly in its relations to that of Canterbury," but in the ab sence of Mr. Stubbs a paper was read by Mr. W. H. Black, F.S.A., on the remarkable manuscript work known as the Textus Roffensis," which is still preserved in the Cathedral library at Rochester, a manuscript well known to the lite rary world. Mr. Black's paper exhibited considerable re search into the history of the work, the authorship of which has given rise to a considerable amount of conjecture, many contending that it was the work of Ernulph, who died in 1124, while others deem that Bishop Ascelin was its author. Mr. Black, however, is disposed to give its authorship to Humphrey, precentor of the Cathedrthor who lived in the 12th century, and who was the au . . of several documents now preserved in th° British sor Museum.

Two bishops, St. Paulinus, who came with St. Augustine to England, and Ithamar, the first English Bishop of Rochester, who died in 655, were also buried in the Cathedral, thus showing the antiquity of the building to be very remote. In the after noon Professor Willis conducted a party of between 200 and 300 of the nobility and gentry over the Cathedral, when he lucidly explained the various styles of architecture which composed the building, and pointed out the internal evidence which it contained of having been erected at different periods. The party were also conducted into the crypt, where are still to ba seen some portions of the old Saxon edifice, as well as the yart of the building attributed to Gundulph. The other points of chief intezest visited ware the fine choir, the magnificent chapter-room, St. William's shrine, St. Edward's Chapel, the tomb of Bishop Merton, the founder of Merton College, Oxford, and other portions of the edifice, together with all the remains standing of the adjoining cloisters and conventual establishments. Professor Willis was occupied nearly two hours in conducting the visitors through the Cathedral, every portion of which calling for any remark was lucidly explained.

In many cases there is, to the eyes of those who have secured the box-seat at the Bull and Mouth, trotted to the Post-office, picked up the bags, seen the glorious sight of the well-horsed, well-driven mails starting for all parts of Ragland, something very rotten ' in the style of handling the ribbons, as seen at the present time. Some of the older members aro good men. The Duke of Beaufort is at home on his box—knows the whole thing. Thornhill, a light hand, a good eye, a famous nerve, and though his style is not pretty, he is a good coachman. He fiddles his well-bred, nasty tempered scratch team through a crowd cleverly. And can he gallop? Ask Will Morritt. By-the-by, Morritt is talked of as a good whip. He certainly appears to be the ladies' pet man, and is always to be seen with a bit of muslin on the box-seat. His roans are useful horses ;, he has them w ell broke, and can get about with them in a crowd ; but he is full of defects. Old Jack Willan would die of laughing if he sa w him coming on to the hill at Epsom, wagging his head and jerking his arms about like a gentleman-jockey finish in g. However, he is a good friend to coaching, and a pleasant fellow down the road, he is so full of chaff. Colonel Baillie is the sort of fellow I like to sit behind ; he is not one of your modern tea-cart sort. He can pull 'em all into the front boot, if necessary. Lord Londesborough we see constantly on the move. I wish somebody would tell him to sit in a better position, and hold his whip as if he was driving, not fishing for perch; he looks a good-natured fellow. lam sure he cannot hit hard. You tell him, - Baily 1 tell him his coach is a bad one—too high, his horses too big. The Duke of Satherland has flash, queer-shaped horses : they do not look like business. His grace is not an unsafe coachman, but looks more like working a Scotch mail than taking the Brighton "Age" out of London. Sir Michael Shaw Stewart has a very good-looking team ; in fact, the whole thing is well turned out ; the horses look to me about as good as any in the park. I should have enjoyed seeing him oftener. I fancy he is idle about "hooking to;" hi yellow coach and well-bred, powerful horses will bear look ing at. I wonder if he ever sends 'em along I Lord Sefton produces for inspection the prettiest little coach in London; it looks to me as if it was "made beautiful for ever" each morning before starting ; his horses,both chesnut and brown team, very clever. I wish he had a little more power : abig man on a box looks safer. Can nothing be dons for Mr. H. Wombwell ? His horses are certainly very clever ; he seems to handle them very well considering the difficulty of his position. He has certainly climbed on to the foot board, and I hope some day to see him sit on his box; but he looks like the ' first turn-out boy' stuck up in a hurry to take the coach down, 'the regular' having been taken sud denly woree. Mr. Morgan is one of the best among the young ones, a neat coachman. Mr. Callender has a well built coach by Baker and a useful team. He drives them well considering how short a time he has been on the road; but he would not keep time with bad cattle. Captain Pal mer is now and then to be seen with a clever team. Lord Edward Thynne looks happy when at work : he know s a little more than you can expect young men of this day ever to learn. There are many good coachmen about who delight in the fun, but do not like to pitch into the young ones. I hope they will not be angry with me for flanking some of the members of the club. Nothing is so pretty as a good coach and clever team ; still it requires a man on the box at any rate to look like business. I cannot stand a fellow sitting with his legs crossed. Catch up your whip, sit square : that's better. Go home, put four chairs together in your room, hook that idle old leather arm-chair in " near side lead," unfurl your whip, drop into him until the dust flies. Don't scrape your knuckles on the foot-board, or hold your hands under your chins. All right I Drive on till next summer. Sit right, Baily.—Yours truly, THE GREAT NORTHERN.

This affection, which comprises those known under the various names of bad sore throat, aging, croup, and the French engine couenneuse, has hitherto been considered one of the most difficult to cure. We some time back gave an account of Dr. Trideau's method, which consists in administering storax under the form of a sprup ; but we now find in the Revue 77 ter a p eu ti q ue a paper by Dr. A. De Grand, Boulogn e, l a te French Vice-Consul at H ava nnah, in w hich he mentions ice as aninfallible spec ifi c . As this, f rom its extreme simplicity, would, if effective, be far superior to any yet tried, we cannot refrain from quoting the cases mentioned by the author, who had published this remedy as far back as February, 1860, and consequently com plains (not without reason, if its efficacy he describes it) of the inexcusable negligence is such a n; practitioners in not taking notice of it, and thereby allowing many valuable lives to be lost. Tile following eases came under his observation after that date. In March and April, 1861, the disease in question broke out under a epidemic form, and chiefly attacked adults, with such virulence that in one week three with i t, t young wom en ad died in a single house. One of Dr. Grand's i patients afflicted with blephacite was seized h as he could not immediately attend, owing to the severity of the case another physician was called in, wh o or dered emetics and aluminous Ogarignes, which produced no effect. At length Dr. Grand came, and found the tonsils greatly swollen, and a false membrane covering them. He imme diately administered small pieces of ice, and by the following morning the tumefaction of the tonsils had diminished by half, and the false membrane had. nearly disappeared. That very evening she was enabled to take food. & few days after her brother was seized with sore throat, presenting the same preliminary symptoms as those of his sister ; but he, profiting by this example, without waiting for the doctor, took ice, and was rid of his sore throat in a few hours. Some days later Dr. Grand was sum moned to a young lady who had been labouring under the disease for 48 hours; all remedies had failed, and the parents, relations, and friends of the family were plunged in the deepest sorrow. When Dr. De Grand ordered ice a general cry of astonish ment was uttered by all present. Ice for a sore throat ! Impossible! it was sheer murder ! Dr. De Grand maintained his ground, and after much ex postulation, during which much time was lost, he obtained his end. Before 24 hours were over the ;'atient was in full convalescence. Being at Vera Cruz on a mission, he was requested to see a young man who was attacked with a malignant sore throat, and had been treated withonc effect by cauterisa tions with hydrochloric acid and astringent gargles. He again had to battle with the prejudices of the family, but was at length allowed to administer ice. The young man recovered in the course of the fol lowing day. Dr. De Grand has now been using this remedy for the last 12 years without having met with a single failure. This is what he says, b at even if only half what he says were true, th e method should be tried by others.
