As the electoral movement advances throughout France it is amusing to note the comments put forth in its regard by one or another of our Parisian contemporaries. Only this very morning we read in Le Constitutionnel, under the heading "The Electoral Circulars of the Opposition," an article, signed PAuLIN LIMAYRAC, which thus com mences—The electoral circulars just now abound. We have read a great many of them, we have read them nearly all, and the one prominent and cha racteristic sign which we have remarked in the professions of faith made by the candidates of the Opposition is this, that they neither say Yes, nor No upon the fundamental question ; that they dis simulate as much as ever they possibly can, and that each, without actually assuming a mask, contriver efiectually to conceal his countenance. Those whom we might suppose to be associated with one or other of the political parties of old, prudently put their colours in their pocket, taking very considerable precaution at the same time that their present purpose may not be recog nised. While saying this much in the opening argu• ment of the Constitutionnel of to-day, the self-same journalist, not contenting himself with any such mere vague generalities in the very next article (a very brief article, also authenticated with his signa Lute)—fastens upon one of the most illustrious chiefs of one of the most considerable of the old political parties, to wit, no other than the author of the " History of the Consulate and theMnpire of France under NAPOLEON the Great," M. ADOLPHE THIERs whom he fairly poses in the manner following : " We published yesterday," says M. LIMAYRAC, " a letter of M. TRIERS, the brevity of which letter -was, it will be remembered, very -remarkable. M. TRIERS wrote in that letter to the Electors of Valenciennes that he experiences a positive repugnance [the word is M. TRIERS' own] in the thought of re-entering public life. The electors of the second circumscription of Paris, according to the account of our contemporary there, have thereupon requested the Constitut,.onnel to submit to M. TRIERS those very reasonable inquiries which are naturally provoked by the preceding declaration : a declaration, in itself, so really ex traordinary. In the first place—Whence comes this repugnance of M. TRIERS ? In the second Place—Why M. TRIERS, experiencing such a re pugnance, resigns himself, in spite of it, to re entering public life ? What is his aim in so doing? What is his political thought ? or, as M. LnskYRAC might have expressed it, his arriere pensee ? What, finally, will be the attitude he will assume ?.that i s to say, of course, supposing he should prove to be (as he is very likely to be) returned triumphantly. Tnese ques tinne, M. LIMAYRAC thinks —not very unnaturally we take it—appear to merit some answer o an explanatory kind. "We pause f ora reply, , virtually says Le Constitutionnel, in conclusion. For ourselves, we shall watch with some anxiety to see whether M. THEIRS vouchsafes a reply of any sort to these very pointed interrogatories. If h e he can hardly do so, now, in l anguage d o es reply , so tersely en j g matiell as that which he employed in hi s brief oracular address to the Electors of Valen. cien nee. In reference to coming elections, .L' Opinion Na tionale of this evening bas only a few passing re marks relative to the mere mechanical preliminaries, as one may call them, in carrying out the operation of this grand dcspotico democratic appeal to the masses. With a view, namely, to the election, by Universal Suffrage, of the popular representatives, -whether Government candidates or Opposition candidates, by means of the cards or tickets dropped into the ballot urns. It is our duty, says the Paris journal last particularised, still to trans mit to Monsieur the Prefect of the Seine, the name mlPlaints which still continue to pour in upon us, in reference to the yet protracted delay in the distribution of the electoral papers. The revised list of the electors, it is added, however, will soon be positively published at the latest, on the 25th of this present month of May. So that the irritating postponements com plained of are not in any way likely to be of much longer continuance. Referring to one of the now somewhat eagerly looked for political re-appearances likely to follow upon the actual commencement of the elections, the Siecle of this morning observes of M. ODILLON BARROT that if he ventures anew upon a political career it is certain to be for the defence of the liberty of strong and free munioipal institutions ; that is to say, in other words, for the wider and wider extension of political guarantees. This, it is added, is one of those candidatures which ought to be applauded by all men of progres s . Saving only in the most fragmentary manner, .Le Pays of this morning has little or nothing to remark upon the subject of the elections, What remarks it has to make, upon a few of them, are for the most part, we are grieved to see, rather flippant and superficial. As where in its comments upon M. de MONTALEM BERT'S address to the electors at Dours, Le Pays says sneeringly of that illustrious candidate—M. DE MONTALEMBERT enumerates with prolixity what it is he wishes, and what it is he believes. And it is needless to say, it is added, pertly enough, that he wishes pretty nearly all that is not, and that he does not wish pretty nearly all that is. In a very different spirit from that in which Le Pays, with its intense imperial proclivities, reads the closing passage of this electoral address of M. DE MONTALEMBERT, do we ourselves, as English lookers on, read it, from a distance,—words as out spoken as the following :—"lf you do not name me your representative," says M. le Comte DE MON TALEMBERT, "you will neither do me harm nor give me pain. If, on the contrary, you do elect me, you will thereby afford the world a signal evi dence of the ancient and virile independence of the Francs-Comtois ; and this will be doing your selves as much honour as you do me." Earnestly do we trust that the electors there will do them selves that high honour—by the course taken by them in the coming contest. And that they will show themselves worthy of having welcomed, as a candidate for their suffrages, that emi nent man of letters, ors tor, and statesman—that noble champion of Liberty and Religion—that CHARLES Comte DE MONTALEMBERT who enjoys throughout the civilised world, and deservedly, the reputation of being one of the most pure-minded and enlightened of living Frenchmen. Mr. GLADSTONE last night presided at the dis tribution of prizes and certificates in the large hall of King's College. As may be supposed, the right lion. gentleman appeared to great advantage on the occasion. He commenced by observing that it was always of great importance for those who were mixed up in the affairs of public life to mangle oc casionally with those not in the vortex. He said that this had now become almost a law, but that none were more ready to submit. to its dictates than those whose privilege it was sometimes to meet face to face those upon whose "cultivated mind and in telligence the Government of this free country in the main depends." Mr. GLADSTONE spoke quite truly in this respect, for nothing can be more inte resting to a fat-seeing statesman than to study attentively and to contemplate reflectively the youth of a nation, and especially those cultivated youths who are hereafter to furnish the scholars and poli ticians of their generation. He then referred to the great importance of combining the old and new styles of laws and institutions, and forcibly illus trated his meaning by pointing out how foreign countries had so often failed, because they did not possess a happy art of thus reconciling the various elements of their constitution—" In that work of reconciling and harmonising which is the great characteristic of this country, King's College has borne a distinguished part. It was founded with one hand, as it were, laid upon the tradition of the past—upon the laws, the religion, and institutions of the country—and with the other band pointing and beckoning onward, and announcing the inten tion of these who founded it and those by whom it was conducted to offer within its walls to the intel ligence of their countrymen the means of meeting and satisfying every demand society was likely to make upon its resources." Mr. GLADSTONE after. wards made special reference to the subject before them—the evening classes—and said that it was a valuable instance of the success of the efforts now made tobenefit the community. He expressed with much eloquence how those who were willing to seek instruction after the labours of the day were always afforded the means of doing so in this institution. It is certainly a most interesting thing to reflect upon the fact, as forcibly put by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, himself a distinguished scholar, that there is a "portion of men in the heart of the vast and crowded metropolis who are willing even after the exhaustion of the day, to enter on new efforts, for the purpose of giving to their minds the immense advantages that are to be derived from refined education." Mr. GLADSTONE also appropriately referred to a personal experience of the toil of exchanging work, by saying that his profession, at least, understood what it was in the compass of twenty-four hours to go down to Westminster and there begin a day's work after having already finished another. After descanting upon the ad. vantages derived from this plan, Mr. GLADSTONE thus concluded:—" I rejoice to sea that these even. ing classes have been attended by no common suc cess. I need not say how cordially I wish the pro moters continued success to their meritorious labours, nor need I assure those to whom I have had the honour of distributing, with my own hands, the prizes and certificates, how earnestly I desire that the rewards they have received, and the testimonials afforded to them to-night may be to them not merely signals and records of what they have done, but also much more— namely, incentives and encouragement s to perse vere in a continuing industry, to continue the cultivation of their gifts, to consider themselves responsible before GOD and man, every one of them, for applying and opening up to the best of their ability all the faculties they posses?, and to Rod in the exercise of those faculties, and in their exertions in every work that is for the glory of GOD %nd the good of man, no small solace amid the difficulties of life, no small pledge that when that tire comes to its close it may prove to have been but the harbinger of a batter and brighter one." It is, indeed, refreshing to find men of Mr. GLAD• STOVE'S eminence turning aside from their engross. ing pursuits to encourage the wayfarers on the steep ascent of learning. And it must be also most gratifying to a man like him to quit for a brief space the angry excitement and the weary tur moil of official and political life to do honour to the cause of science in the halls of stuffy. There is a higher privilege, likewise, in one of his position, encouraging those far beneath him in abilities and social station, but who are to be urged on by every inducement to culti- vate their talents and exercise their opportunities, so that they may adorn " that sphere and station to which it has pleased GOD to call them." Mr. GLADSTONE could have concluded with no more appropriate words than these, and if the warning is taken there will be an incentive for their exer tions, beyond and above even the delights of learn ing, -or the treasures of cultivated intelligence. They should employ their powers to the utmost, as entrusted to them by their MAKER, for the good of their fellow-men, that they may be of some service in their generation. The good old city of London is soon to be engaged in the turmoil of a Parliamentary election. In ad dition to its daily routine, whose bustle and crowd are enough to bewilder the denizens of any less active sphere, it is to have the commotion always inseparable from tha hustings, the polling-booths, the immaculate candidates, and the disinterested friends. We can hardly suppose that even in these days of party coolness and carelessness a seat for the metropolis will be allowed to go by default. It is true that it has often been remarked that the representatives of the chief boroughs are seldom among the most en inent men in the House. Our mighty metropolis itself sends few representatives to the front bench on either side, although the citi zens may claim some distinction for having virtually forfeited one of their seats for many years by reso lutely electing Baron ROTHSCHILD time after time until the Jewish Disabilities allowed their patient member his long wished seat. Lord JOHN RUS SELL, once the hero of Reformers, was for years the most remarkable of the four City representatives, and it is perhaps gratitude for the reflected lustre conferred on them by sending a Prime Minister to Parliament that induces some of the citizens to advocate the return of Lord AMBEBLEY at the forthcoming election. There is nothing to be said for or against his lordship individually, but we cer tainly do not think that his father's recent proceed ings deserve such an expression of confidence at the hands of the city electors. We are not aware what act of the Foreign Secretary has been thought worthy of such a proof of esteem. Perhaps it is his kind intervention in Denmark, and the ingenuity with which he has striven to make the worse appear the better cause, in assisting the injured innocence of Prussian diplomatists. Isis general tone in discus sing the matter must have been highly gratifying to all interested in the future of Scandinavia! Perhaps his dealings with Mr. SEWARD form his claim to honour; and the citizens are de- sirous of bestowing a mark of their approval on the statesman who stands contentedly looking on, while their ships are seized, their insurances hardly taken, and their trade with neutral ports para lysed and damaged. It must be a great satisfaction to gentlemen whose West Indian ventures have found their way to the tender jurisdicticn of the American Prize Courts, to hear the noble lord con- fess that the Americans, when playing the part of neutrals, claimed the right of transmitting—not peaceable merchandise to neutral ports—but arms and ammunition to the combatants. But probably we mistake, in spite of its intimate foreign rela tions, and vast commercial interests, the city of London has always been remarkable for the share it has taken in homo politics. The welfare of their own country must naturally be the first question with the merchant princes of London, and the liberality of opinion and sentiment general among the citizens, places great numbers of them among the ranks of reformers. No wonder, then, that the late " active services" of our Foreign Secretary in the good cause should win him this token of approval Since the memorable year when Lord RUSSELL, then (as Lord JOHN) in the Lower House, brought in three Reform Bills to share one common fate, he has made no word nor sign. That effort exhausted his reforming energies, which will probably only revive in the cold shade of opposition. That the sunshine of office has a disastrous effect on Whig principles is a fact we are all pretty well acquainted with by this time, but some political enthusiasts used to think that the advocacy of Reform was inseparable from the name of JOHN RUSSELL. We do not know which of the political merits of the father has earned the right of candidature for the son, but until they have some further proof of his capabili ties, we should recommend them to adopt the repre sentative of a more liberal school. As SAMPSON slew the Phillistines with the jaw bone of an ass, Mr. BOUCHER DE PERTHES has un dertaken to do battle with the opponents of the tavourite theory of Sir CHARLES LYELL and others, in regard to the exceeding antiquity of Man ! To do battle with those opponents, we say, with the jaw bone found a few weeks back in the "drift" near Abbe ville. The drift of the discussions which have arisen out of this discovery, however, appears, as yet, so far as we have been able to give our attention to it, to resolve itself merely to this—that the hone is nothing better, or more important, than a bewildering little bone of contention among the savans. Those same philosophic inquirers, however, into the still un solved problem as to its antiquity, appear, in the development of their discusbion to be ac tually getting further and bather from any satis- factory conclusion of the difficulty, instead of giving us even a promise of their arriving at any settlement of it as a scientific enigma. Until we are fain, at last, to beseech them, with the home liest fervour possible, to make no more bones about it! Or, in yet plainer terms—in terms so plain that CHARLES READERS Mrs. Dodd (vide "Very Hard Cash") would certainly have fainted to hear us thus addressing a group of wrangling philo sophers—to hold their jaw. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1863. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MAY 2 Herr von Bismark was present at to-day's sit ting of the Chamber of Deputies and read a Royal Message ; in which the King says—" The house has indirectly approved of the conduct of its Presi dent, which was in violation of the Constitutional rights of the Ministry. Such a position for the Ministers does not corrsapond with the dignity of the Crown. " The King can only advise the Chamber to NI minate such a state of things in order that the busi ness of the house may be continued." Herr von Bismark then left the house. Herr Virchow moved that the Royal Message be referred to the Committee on the address as the Ministers had misinformed the King. Herr von Syben and Count Schwerin seconded this moticn, which was unanimously adopted by the Chamber. POLAND. CRACOW, MAY 16, The attention of the Russian civil and military authorities is at length directed to the immense ad vantages the insurgents derive from the numerous adherents who join them from this side of the frontier. The measures that have been adopted to prevent this wholesale military emigration plainly show the importance they attach to it. Since the two last encounters between the Russians and the insurgents at Szyce and Wilkowes, a strong detach ment of Russian infantry and 150 Cossacks have been constantly patrolling the frontier between Granica and Michalovice. Another but somewhat smAller body of infantry and 100 Cossacks perform similar duty from Michalovice to Nove Brzesko and Koszyce. Each detachment is provided with artillery by which means an alarm is fired in the event of any encounter. A reinforcement number ing 200 infantry has arrived in Igalonna. How ever difficult these energetic measures may have rendered the crossing of the frontier they have not been successful in putting a stop to it. New adhe rents to the Polish cause daily cross the frontier and a considerable number of able-bodied men, well armed and equipped, are on the point of leaving for the seat of war. A report is current here to-day that 10,000 Prussian troops have marched into the kingdom of Poland. Although this news obtain but little evidence, it is nevertheless necessary to take notice of it, as it causes much excitement among sympa thisers with the Poles, who believe that such a step on the part of the Prussian authorities would CE rtainly bring about an armed intervention. The insurgents who were driven to seek refuge in Austrian territory, were asked whether they were inclined to accept the amnesty promised by the Emperor A , exander. Some of them replied in the affirmative, but the great majority rejected it in toto. The new seal of the National Government bears the Polish Eagle and the Knight of Lithuania, surmounted by the Jagellonish Crown in a simi circle, under wbich is a representation of the Archangel Michael. The surrounding motto is " National Government, Liberty, Equality, and Independence." ROME. RETURN OF THE POPE TO ROME. ROME, MAY 20. The Pope returned to Rome at 8 o'clock this evening.

The Northern Post of to-day announces that bands of peasants are being organised in the Western provinces of Russia for the protection of persons, and for keeping open the communications. These peasant bands consist of from 60 to 100 men each, taken from the inhabitants of every place. Their chiefs are subordinate to the regu lar military commanders, or to the chiefs of the provincial police. CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. SOU I HAMPTON, MAY 21. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Poonah has arrived here with the heavy por lion of the above mails and 176 passengers, includ ing Sir W.

Her freight comprises 1,820 packages of Indian cargo, and 1,600 bales, value .E 150,000 sterling. Prince Napoleon arrived at Alexandria on the Btb inst. in the steamer Jerome. • On the 17th inst. the Poonah spoke the steamer Ellora off Cape SE. Vincent, and on the 20th the bark Calypso, from Jamaica. Exchange on London at Gibraltar, 90 days, was quoted 50Z- to 501 ; on Paris, 530. Freights un altered. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, May 12. On Friday evening (the Bth) Prince Napoleon and Princess Clotilde, on board the Imperial yacht Prince Jerome, came into this harbour quite unexpectedly, as a telegram had announced their departure from N 'pies on the same day they arrived here. The public disembarcation was put off till the next day at 3 o'clock, when the French and Italians, between whom great rivalry has existed throughout, went ie boats decorated with their respective flags, and formed a double line from the yacht to the landing stairs of the palace of Rassetine. The French Con sul-General and some Marine officers went on board and paid their respects to the Prince and Princess, and a deputation from the French inhabitants was then received, whose representative, M. Bletoß, made a long speech. • Prince Napoleon's answer was as follows : " I am profoundly touched. Gentlemen, by the manifes• tation of which I am the object, and the sympathies dis played by the speeches just addressed to me. I promise to report faithfully to the Emperor the prayers of the French colony in Egypt for the prosperity of his reign, ant I am persuaded that he will be as deeply touched by them as I am myself. You have spoken, Sir, of the work carried on here by one of our most illustrious fellow-couni ryrnen, M. de Lesseps, and it was with reason that you called it a hu manitarian task, for it fulfils the aspirations and wants of every civilized nation, on which account this great under taking may always reckon on my constant support." At 9 o'clock that morning the Prince had, how ever, already paid en official visit to the Viceroy at Itassetine, and the Princess an hour later went to the Harem. She was accompe flied, as far as was permitted, by Nubar Pasha and Mourad Bey, and was much interested by her visit, insisting on see ing everything and on having an Arab breakfast, The Turkish ladies must have been curious to see her, as her Royal Highness is the first daughter of a King who has visited them, but her kind and gra cious manner must have at once charmed them. The Viceroy returne d P r i nce Napoleon's visit OD board the y ac h t at 2 o ' clock, an d soon a ft er h e l e ft, the State barge, containing the Prince and Princess end suite, w as keen threading i ts wa y between the e, French and Italian boats, amid the cheers of all present and th e fi r i ng of the men -of-war in port. On landing thei r Royal Highnesses found a ear riage and lour to take them to the Viceroy's Palace, No. 3, on the banks of the canal, which had been splendidly furnished for them ; solid silvcr bed• steads, the mosquito nets made of gauze embroidered with gold, beautiful Aubusson carpets, and even cosmetics were ready for the Princess, On Monday their Royal Highnesses took a drive, and on the following day left for Cairo. Captain Speke is expected here soon, as the Vice roy has sent a steamer to meet him, and orders to help him in every way. His Highness is most anxious to see Capt. Speke, and expresses himself delighted that so great a discovery should have been made during his reign. It is remarkable how general the feeling of interest is among the natives as to the discovery of the sources of the Nile. FRANCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--I shall feel greatly obliged if you will kindly per mit me to call attention to a subject which seriously affects the health of the public at large. I allude to the dangerous and extensive adulteration of almost everything we eat and drink. Anyone doubting this has only to g., to the Food Museum, at South Kensington, and there will be seen the deleterious ingredients with which we are all slowly poi: oned, openly displayed. Our tea is mixed with carbonate of cop per, carbonate of lead, Venetian red, Pruscian blue, Dutch pink, and black lead; chalk and marble are mixed with sugar; red lead, red ochre, and brick dust with cocoa; copper in pickles, and ground glass in snuff. No wonder that the doctors are so often puzzled as to what ails their half-poisoned patients; they know no mor. what has brought about the symptoms than the man in the moon. So they sum up in the old way by saying, " The system is out of order," and send in physic. Now comes the question— are there any means for checking these really dangerous practices ? One would think that if the vendors of poisoned provisions were punishable by law there would soon be an end of them, and if cheap and simple tests could be brought into general use an enormous demand would reward the in ventors, who would deserve well o• their country. I have said notbing about the mere cheating adultera- tions, such as linseed in pepper and sawdust in coffee, which gives it that peculiar woody taste so often observed, Now, although there is nothing poisonous in sawdust, it if not agreeable to have one's coffee flavoured with a worn-out chair or an old bedstead.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, GEORGE ELLIS. May 20th, 1863. The Great Omninational Derby Race. (From .Punch.) This great event has naturally attracted an immense amount of interest, not merely on account of the fame of the competitors, but because of the enormous value of the stakes. For the benefit of the unlearned, we may state that these included "Peace and General Prosperity," and when we add that " Civilisation and National Advancement" also formed a portion of the prize to be contended for, we need hardly say another word about its vast importance and its great intrinsic worth. The following was the latest betting on the course :- 3to 2 on John Bull's British Constitution (offered) 10 to 1 against Louis Napoleon's French Empire 15 to 2 „ Victor Emmanuel's United Italy (f aken) 50 to 1 „ Czar Alexander's Quiet Poland 100 to 1 „ Austria's Hungarian Indepen deuce 1000 to 1 „ Prussia's Pigheaded King W ham 10,000 to 1 „ Abe Lincoln's War Policy 0,000,000 to 1 „ American Re• Union (offered) The Yankee lot for some months had been knocked ou, of the betting, and indeed there was no chance that animals so over-worked could ever win a decent place. We warned their friends long since that such must prove the fact, and they hive no cause to reproach us at finding our words true. Still, with all their brag and bounce, the Yankees have good stuff in them ; and it they wouli but pay more attention to their training, there really is no knowing what they might not win. So far as we can trace his pedigree straight back to John Bull's stables, it is clear that Brother Jonathan comes of a good stock ; and although of late the breed has terribly deteriorated, still we could lay f< finger on a specimen or two of what in Yankee phraseology is known as real grit: The rac- has been so talked about that all its details must be known, and we shall add but few remarks to the dry official statement of the " coming in," which, as all along had been expected, was as follows : British Constitution French Empire (distanced) All the other starters were emphatically "Nowhere," in deed there seldom has been witnessed so hollow a defeat. It was rather thought at one time the Italians would have seen their horse assume a better place, and considering the pains and patience of his backers, we should have been much pleased so have announced their better luck. Their horse is young, however, and may do great things yet Some fancy if French Empire had not hampered his free running, he might perhaps have shown a little bet ter in the race. It is clear he is an animal that wants a skilful jockey, and it may perhaps be questioned if his owner Victor Em manuel be so well up to his work as his friends would wish to see him. The Russians and the Austrians both declared they meant to win, but looking at their horses the world put little confidence in either protestation. Quiet Poland went at one time clean out of the betting, as much as ten thousand to one being offered, end no takers. It is clear that if the Emperor means winning with this horse he must adopt a vastly different mode of treatment. It is ac knowledged on all sides that the poor animal has been most cruelly ill-used, and so long as it continues in its present wretched plight the Czar can hardly hope to show well in competing for the Civilisation Stakes. That John Bull would win easy it was th 3 universal faith, but the even event exceeded the general expectation. So complete a victory has rarely been recorded, and, when it is remembered with what a heavy weight the animal was burthened, the British nation justly may feel proud of their old horse. It was a sight to see his present trainer lead him from the course, for Pam has all the "noble sportsman" element about him, and likes to see a good horse proving himself such. French Empire was at one time thought a rather ugly customer, but this animal, though much younger, has not half the strength of British Constitu ion, and although at times successful, is not to be relied on as a thoroughly safe horse. Among other defects, the animal, it is clear, wants freedom in his action, and he has had so little liberty allowed him that of course it stands to reason his movements must be cramped. On the other hand, John Bull has long ago discovered that to curb a horse too tightly is sure to check his progress; and that when you can rely upon him not to break away, it is wise to let him take what liberty he likes. The policy of this good training has been shown in the success with which h's animal has gone through all his tri ,ls, and with ease won the Blue Ribbon of the Omninational Turf. British Constitution has great powers of endurance, and is remarkable as well for his steady going quality, good temper, and rare pluck. Though not a showy animal, he goes always in good form. When put upon Lis mett!e, nothing cramps his stride, and there is no fear of his ever being found among the ruck. Although burdened with such weights as must have heavily tax :d his energies, he has always been undaunted in pulling through a race. When called on, he has answe, ed with tla•- heart (,f a lion, and having justified so well the confidence of his backers, there is very little fear that we shall ever see him scratched. Cows AND LOCOMOTIVES.-0a Tuesd,:y morn ing the LAncashire and Yorkshire train, which is due in Manchester from Leeds at 11.25 a.m , had a narrow escape when approaching Rochdale. Five cows had got upon the line, and were not discovered by the engine driver until he was close upon them. The train was a long and heavy one, containing a great many manufacturers on their way to the Manchester marker, and the results might have been serious; but fortunately the engine struck the beasts so as t throw them aside, killing only two of them, with out getting the wheels clogged by the flesh, and the train escaped without injury. It will be remembered that a simi lar accident on the London and North-Western line, near Rugby, resulted in a great loss of life to the passengers.

The volume was superbly bound in Levant blue morocco, most elaborately ornamented with gold in the Harleian style, inlaid in various coloured moroccos, after the style of a volume belonging to Charles 11. now in the library at Crewe-hall. In the centre of each side of the cover the arms of the Prince and Princess Of Wales, it may be added, were emblazoned. " FuN" has the glory of having anticipated " PUNCH" in a capital little joke by no less than a year and a five months I For proof of this see Punch of this week, in which John Leech with his delightfully humourougly pencil, draws (as John Leech only could draw it) the " Portrait of Tomkins under the delusion that the Public take the Old Gentleman's Groom for his." Punch's Comical Penny Rival, Fun, having, as long ago as in the week ending December 21, 1861, depicted "A Dodge : If you see a gentleman on horseback followed by his groom, put your horse between the two and I eople will naturally think the groom belongs to you." 'I ho coincidence—for it is of course nothing but a coincidence— a t any rate serves to illustrate anew how Wits Jump Mr. APTOMMAS'S HARP RECITALS.—The last 01 these most attractive "recitals" for the seas= took place last evening at Collard's Concert-room, Grosvenor street, and attracted avery large attendance. Mr. Aptommas performed a number of very brilliant compositions on the harp in a manner that won for him the unanimous ap plause and admiration of the fashionable assembly. The concert was a decided success. How BURGLARIES ARE MANAGED.—A we known member of the swell-mob was recently arrested in London, and on searching his person there was found upon him a letter, among others, dated from Newtown Park, near Lymington, giving information that the family would very shortly be aw.y, and discribing the doors, the approaches, the various rooms, the way in and out, the plate and its chests, and everything that could facilitate what is, in the police world, known as a " put up" bur glary. Had it not been for this timely discovery the town would have been some morning alarmed by a bold and suc cessful exploit. The valuables would have been safely re. moved, and, after a nine days' wonder, the whole would have passed by, perhaps leaving only a suspicion on some of the outlying rangers of Norley-wood. As it is, how ever, we were astonished at hearing that a detective and others of the police had come down and arrested n 1 less a person than the butler of the above mansion, whose name was attached to this remarkable letter.—Hants Advertiser. ACTIONS IN THE SUPERIOR COURTS.—At the Secondaries' Court, yesterday, an action was brought in one of the superior Courts to recover £5 for re freshments, and £5 for money lent. Counsel appeared on both sides, and the result was a verdict for 505., and the Secondary gave a certificate for costs. Another case was tried in which the amount sought to be recovered was small, and in stating the case the attorney declared that only three out of every 100 cases brought in the superior courts were tried, whereas in the county courts nearly all were tried. He urged that it was better to proceed in the superior courts for expedition where no defence was made, and for the feel lity it gave to arrangements between the parties. The bill introduced by Mr. Beuverie to prohibit writs in the supe rior courts for sums under £lO has been withdrawn, and writs are nc w being issued for small sums, and costs allowed in cases where the parties do not reside within the same county court district. REVERSES OF FORTUNE IN VANCOUVER'S ISLAND. —Victoria resembles Melbourne before the great gold rush had subsided in that scene of speculation and ad venture. A ger tleman who once kept his cab in London, and was the member of a fashionable London club house, is serving out liquor at a bar; and this gentleman's em ployer was, curiously enough, a waiter at the very club of which this gentleman was a member. A gentleman, who was formerly a major in the English army, is receiving one dollar and a half a day as an ordinary day labourer. lam told that another quondam army man is hawking cabbage about the streets. Another gentleman, who was a captaii. in the English army, was a barkeeper, hui has now gone to try his luck at the mines. Another, who was a lieutenant in the army, and whom I met nearly every day, was doing nothing but loafing about. Another gentleman, who was a captain in the army, went away suddenly, I believe to Stic- kern. A friend tells me that a lawyer is washing bottles Auother lawyer with whom I am acquainted is looking about for work in vain. An Oxford or a Cambridge man, I for get which, is working at a forge, where he luckily got em- ployment from the fact that he t ad acquired the art of shoe. ing horses, 1 know the son of a clergyman in one of the Midland counties who has been working on the roads iu British Columbia. He was a servant of all work for a time to Attorney-General Cary. One day I found him working under a coloured man, helping to remove a wooden house. For this really hard labour he received two dollars and a . half a day, but:it was a temporary job and soon over. The lad did not look over well, and had a terribly swellen face, but he was compelled to stick to his work, or—l need not mention the other alternative.— United Service 31agazine.

It appeared that on the 9th March plaintiff's mane came into the city and purchased a quantity of we dd favours for sale on that day. The parcel was deposited NI the company's clerk about two o'clock in the afternoon ,l it was marked "by first bus." The goods, unfortuna te were not delivered till eight o'clock at night, when plain lost the sale. Mr. Beard, as a preliminary defence, said that the cc pany did not undertake to deliver parcels by every WA I the roads were so blocked with traffic that it was imports, for the company's vahicles to go by their ordinary route In answer to this it was sworn that plaintiff's roan° found no difficulty in going backward and forward by company's buses on the day in question.

One of the defendant's servants said—l took the po i but I said that I could not undertake to deliver it by 11 particular time, as the buses were not going their us routes. I forwarded it by the first bus that I saw. buses do not call, but we go to them. A second wi.ness said that the buses were out of th time and course on the 9th March, and every customer informed of the fact. Perhaps not one bus in an hour pass down Cheapside. Some of the vehicles were blocked UP three or four hours. His Honour—My own experience is that it was lia r possible to get along on that day.
