This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease.

He may bo consulted with ad vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili tated through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un ceasing misery and regret.

Several persons who saw him from the platform beckoned him to come down, but the moment the train reached the arch at Westminster-bridge-road, the poor fellow was forced against the walls with such violence that he was nearly flattened, and was afterwards jerked oil the carriage step, and falling on the metals, the wheels of the hinder most carriages passed over his chest. He was immediately picked up, when it was found that life wa a quite extinct. The orders issued by the company are, that none of their servants, on any pretence whatever, aro to ride outside the carriages. ••• - - 29 28 80 ,• - ••• VALES. Qrs. Rapeseed ... ... 120 Shelling ...

Peas BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY 25.—The transactions in West India descriptions are still very limited, and prices are with difficulty supported ; for foreign there is " a moderate demand, and further sales are reported, but without the parti culars transpiring. Refiners' produce is in steady demand, and rather dearer. Rum only in limited demand. EXETER, JULY 25.—Cattle Market—The market was again small for all descriptions of stock, and as buyers were not nu merous prices remained the same as last week. Fat beef, 7s 6d to 8s per score. There were but few steers in the market, at about previous rates. Barreners, from 4s 6d to 5s per score. cows and calves, 8/ to 12/; some were sold of goad quality at from 10/ to 10110 s. The average price of butchers' calves, which were scarce, was about 3%d per lb. Sheep were more plentiful than the other descriptions of stock. Large wethers, from 4d to 41%id per lb ; small ditto, 4%d to 4%d ; ewes, 4d to 4%d ; lambs, 5d to 5 1 / 2 d.

Corn Exchange—But very little business has been done in the corn market. The day being rainy, holders are not anxious to realize, and the price of wheat must be put up is per qr over that of last week. In barley nothing is doing. Oats are scarce, at 2s 6d to 2s Sd per bushel. Fine flour 32s to 33s per sack. NEWBURY, Ju LY 24.—The supply of wheat offering to. day is very large, and more than is required for the supply of the local trade, to which the demand is principally confined. The sales effected have been at fully last week's pricei, but much remains undisposed of, to await other markets. Barley but little in offer, and without alteration in value. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, but sufficient to meet the demand, which is slack, and late rates are barely supported. LIVERPOOL, JULY 25.—The weather has been unsettled, wet, and cool, and the growing crops of grain are not much more forward than they were ten days ago. Still the corn trade the last two days has been merely steady with a very moderate demand. The country demand for wheat and flour, which has been in abeyance for three or four weeks, returned to us to-day, and altogether we had a good healthy basiness, at very full prices, for every article of the grain trade.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. Wont TRADE, LONDON, JULY 24.—The quantity of wool imported into London during the week ending to-day has been 8,513 bales. Of this quantity, 5,080 bales were from Port Phillip, 977 from Van Diemen's Land, 2,151 from Sydney, 105 from Italy, and the rest from Odessa, &c. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, JULY 25.—We have no change to report this week either in demand or prices. LivEurooL WOOL, JULY 24.—The imports this week are 269 bales Alpaca, and 241 Oporto. The market continues quiet, but steady. Low white wools very scarce. • TRADE OF LEEDS.— The market on Saturday was brisk at both cloth halls, but on Tuesday, in consequence of the reduc tion in the railway fares, many of the manufacturers have taken the opportunity of visiting the Exhibition and attending the wool sales, which caused a very thin attendance at the market, and much less business was done. The deliveries to direct orders continue active, and prices remain steady. There has been a pretty brisk business done in the warehouses since this day week. BRADFORD MARKET, JULY 24.—Wool.—We cannot fur nish anything new touching any kind of English wool ; it continues to be bought at dear prices from the growers, and has only very dull sale here. Colonial is very animated at the sales now on, and full prices are realised. Noils and brokes are in good request, and late prices maintained. Yarns— There is no change for the better in the demand for yarns; the trade is as bad as it can be. We regret that the spinners are compelled to curtail the supply by stopping machinery ; and, taking the whole district, there is now a large quantity idle. Pieces.— We are sorry we cannot report a more favour able aceount of the manufacturing business ; for cheaply as yarns are sold, the price of goods is so low that there is no profit remaining. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JULY 24.—Printing cloths and shirtings are not so much inquired after as they were on Tuesday. In other respects the market is much the same as it was at the commencement of the week. In long cloths and T cloths the transactions have been rather numerous, and prices are maintained with considerable steadiness for both these de scriptions of domestics. The better kind of T cloths hold the rates of last month, and the lower 32-inch, at 41b Boz weight, which were last month at 3s. 9d. per piece, are now only lid higher. 36-inch long cloths, 8 lbs weight, quoted last month at 63 6d, may now be had at Gs 4id; 5-4 long cloths are also a shade lower, but 6-4 are are tolerably firm, and must yield a fair return to the manufacturer at the present price of cotton. The demand for 40-inch shirtings continues very languid, and prices are still barely remunerative, being 3d to 4id per piece under the lowest price of last month. Jacctnets are also much depressed. For the lower counts of yarn, both in bundle and of warp quality, there is a continued demand for export to the Mediterranean, and prices are well maintained. In mule yarns suitable for the east, as also in cloths for that market, prices have declined so as to be almost unremerative, but there is still only a limited business doing in these goods. ;T.-YESTERDAY.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE. The directors of this company have issued their half yearly report to be submitted' to the meeting on Wed nesday next. It states that the traffic for the half year ending the 30th of June, as compared with the corresponding period of 1850, shows an in crease iu the number of passengers of 76,626, and in the receipts of 2,9981.; also in the goods and minerals an increase 'of 51,414 tons, and in the re ceipts of 8,4631. The number •of passengers conveyed ou the line during the half-year was 430,784, of which 415,781 were local, and but 15,003 were through passengers. The quantity • of , goods conveyed was 91,246 tons, of which 86,729 were derived from local sources, and 4,M7 tons 011 account of through traffic. It will be seen that by far the greater proportion of the receipts on the line arises from local traffic, which must be the case so long as the reasonable facilities stipulated for by the agreement of the 13th0 April, 1850, with the London and North-Western Conipany are withheld. The matter has been referred to tWa Recorder of London, and the arbitration is still proceeding. It is stated that while matisfacteey arrang7. 7 iiialrfoi — S e e r tt A o of the London and North-Western trains at Colwich have been secured, the arbitrator hat, not thought it necessary at the present time to make any alteration in the times of the arrival and departure of the Macclesfield trains. The directors have there fore under consideration measures for forwarding their passengers to their destination in the event of a continual refusal on the part of the London and North-Western Company to provide accommodation for them. Under any circumstances the directors have reason to believe that they are not entirely dependent upon the London and North-Western Company for that outlet for their traffic without which the resources of their line can not be fully and economically developed. The sum which has been set aside this halt-year towards the reserve fund amounts to 3,2004, leaving a reserve fund in hand of 22,776/. The interest on the borrowed capital being paid, and the dividend on the canal shares being provided, there will remain a net balance of 20,721/. which enables the directors to recom. mend a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share. The Bill for an extension of the line to Burton and Derby has been withdrawn, in consequence of an arrangement en tered into with the Midland Company, by which a great economy has been secured. The expenses to Derby and Burton in the six months ending the 31st of Decemleer, 1850, were 4,236/. The expenses upon an increased traffic in the six months ending the 30th of June, 1851, are 2,700/. This will give a saving of upwards of 3,9004 per annnm, being nearly equal to the amount of economy proposed by the establishment of an independent line. The directors have entered into a contract with Mr. Brassey for the construction and lease of the Ashbourno branch. The works on the branch are to be constructed for the sum of 48,500/., to which is to be added the cost of the land, and upon this entire cost Mr. Brassey guarantees to the com pany a sum equal to 4 per cent. per annum for a period of five years; Mr. 13rasscy to take the receipts of tho branch and one-third of the increase duo to the bra.ach on the main line; the land and works to be paid for in bonds bearing interest at 4 per cent. per annum. Ie is expected that the branch line will be opened in July, 1852. Since the last meeting the directors have found it necessary to proceed with the works of the Nowcaotle branch, which has been delayed by various in junctions of the Court of Chancery. From Mo tives of economy a new contract has been substituted for the original one, and the branch will be constructed as a single line. The amount of this contract is 27,000/., which, however, is exclusive of brickwork that may be required for the tunnel. An end has been put to tho litigation in respect to the Apedale branch by an ar rangement with the proprietor of the minerals, by which 4 per cent. is guaranteed to the company on the cost of construction of the line, which has been contracted for at a sum of 9,0001., to be paid in deben tures of the company bearing interest at 4 per cent. per annum. The directors state that it is quite certain: that these branches are of very coasideraele import ance to the traffic of the line. The town of Ash bourne must be supplied with coal from the New castle mines, while a large amount of limestone will be required for the iron-works of Apedale and Silverdale. The capital account states , that the com pany is authorised to raise 4,659,0004 for the railway, and 1,170,000/. for the canal, togetht r 5,820,0001. Of this sum 4,705,404/. has been raised, leaving 1,114,596/. uncalled. The loan account shows that 709,032/. has been raised on loan, of which 426,5321. has been borrowed at 5 per cent., 222,050/. at 4 per cent., 37,400/. at 4 7 1 per cent., and 23,0501. at 4 per cent. The construction account of the railway shows that 3,539,893/. had been received, including 2,826,715/. on shares, and 3,538,5291. expended, leav ing a balance of 1,3631. The railway revenue ac count for the half-year ending the 30th of Juno shows that 61,025/. had been received, and 34,627/. expended, including 848/. Government duty, and 1,4361. rates and taxes, leaving a balance of 26,398/. The canal revenue for the same period amounted to 62,1561., and the expenses to 25,2361., including 2,040/. rate's and taxes, leaving a balance of 36,920/. The general revenue shows a total of 70,9161., including 7,518/. for the Manchester traffic. The interest on bonds amounts to 16,594/., dividend on canal shares to 29,253/,, reserve for fund and bad debts 4,3501., leaving 20,7211. applicable to dividend, which at the rate of 2e. 6d. per share will absorb 20,1881,, and leave a small balance. SOUTH-EASTERN. The number of passengers conveyed on this line to and from Lon don-bridge terminus on Tuesday was 17,288—namely, 8,531 to London, and 8,757 from London. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—There appears now to be no doubt that the Great Western Company are intent upon the speedy completion of the Oxford and Birming ham Junction Railway. The works are in progress in the immediate neighbourhood of this town, and hence southwards workmen are on most parts a the line ac preparing for a dire c t t h roug h com tively employed in mu nication between Birmingham and Oxford. The Mid land Company has entered into a contruot with Messrs. Peto and Betts for the conveyance of 160,000 tons of timber from the basin at Gloucester to the Saltley wharf, near Birmingham, and of this quantity, required for the construction of the Oxford line, 150 tons are nightly conveyed along the Bristol and Birmingham line to its destination in Vi arwickahire. It is not as yet known positively whe... - e the station will be erected in Birmingham. Parliament recently excluded the mingham and Oxford Company (or rather the Great JULY, 26, 1851. Western) from entering into the London and North- West::ru new station in New-street. It is thought that a temporary station will be erected between. Park-street and Moor-street Should such a plan be adopted, there is every reason to believe that a competing line between London and Birminghom (via Oxford) will be opened considerably within the ensuing twelve months.

Yesterday being a half-crown day 2,9841. was taken at the doors, and, according to the police returns, 26,882 persons entered the building. The number of visitors on Thursday was, by mistake, underbtated to the extent of about 4,000. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE: Captain Sir Frederick TV.ErskineNicolson, Bart., has been appointed to the Royal Naval College, Ports mouth. Captain W. H. Kitchen (1846) has been appointed to the Tortoise store-ship, as Governor of Ascension, vice Hutton, whose term of service has expired. Captain Kitchen is in the sixty-fifth year of his age, entered the service in 1799, and has served afloat thirty-one years. He was in the Monarch, 74, at the Copenhagen action, and commanded a tender of the Argo, 44, at the reduc tion of St Lucie and Tobago, in 1803. As mato of the Speedy sloop, in 1804, received injury in his knee whilst firing at the enemy's flotilla off Ostend; and, in 1805, when in command of a rocket-boat, under Sir Sidney Smith, off Boulogne, was severely burnt in both hands. Was nearly two years sub and acting lieute nant, and commanded the Dominica's gig and cutter ut the capture, 1806, of the French national schooner, Chiffone; and was slightly wounded in the leg at cut ting out four of the enemy's vessels from under the batteries of Guadeloupe. In 1807, ho assisted at the reduction of the Danish West India Islands, and ob tained his confirmation in 1808. He was senior leutenant of the Asp sloop, in 1809-10, at the taking of Martinique, the capture of the French frigate La Junon, and in the boats at the destruction of the forts and magazines of Port St. Louis, Guadeloupe. Ho served as first lieutenant of diffareut ships until 1822. In 1824 he was appointed to the Terror, part of the force em ployed in the expedition against Algiers; commanded the Nightingale cutter, in the Channel, and was pro moted in 1827. As a commander he served three years in the coast guard at Harwich, and so distinguished him self in suppressing riots and extinguishing incendiary fires that be was recommended by high civil powers, and was promised the promotion he did not get until after he had served in the Queen, 110, ilagsalaip, is the Mediterranean, and in command of the Devastation :ateam.sleop, from February, 1844, to the close of 1845, and then he had to wait a year for his present rank. Captain Arthur Forbes (1845) has received his com mission appointing him to the command of the Calypso, 1.8, at Chatham. He entered the navy in 1820, and has :SE reed afloat about eighteen years. He was fortunate enough to obtain his first commission in 1826, and as 1 ieutenant served in the Jasper, 10, Harrier, 18, Magi cienne, 24, and was promoted from first-lieutenant of tins ship, after a second appointment of three years, in 1838. As a commander, he served in Sir Charles Adams' flag-ship Illustrious, West Indies, and was promoted on paying her off. Express, 60, Commander Fead, bent sails at Devon part on Thursday. She will go out of harbour to-day, when her compasses will be adjusted by Mr. Thompson, Queen's harbour master, previous to hor being paid ad v xnce. Sylph tender returned to Devonport on Wednesday e•rening, from Fowey, where she had been to settle some dispute with the fishermen. Java freight ship arrived at Devonport on Thursday morning, from Quebec, with part of the 19th Regiment on board. They will disembark at Devonport. rORTSMOIITH, JULY 25.—The Centaur steam frigate was commissioned this morning by Mr. Loano, the mas te.r, for the flag of Rear-Admiral Henderson, on the Brazil station. Such an unprecedented circumstance as a :second or third-rate steamer carrying an admiral's flag is naturally the chief topic of gossip at this port. The Hotspur Indiamao, Captain Toynbee, 1,300 tons, sailed from Spithead this morning with a detachment of troops and full of passengers, for Calcutta, on her first voyage. The Belvedere, 38, has been dismasted to-day. The Avon steam-tender returned to Devonport this evening. The weather has been too unfavourable to admit of the Royal yacht at Cowes being used by her Majesty. APPOINTMENTS.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. of ye CRETON'S motion for the recall of the exiled Princes of the House of Bourbon, and in the event of that motion being carried, the Prince DE JOINVIELE will start for the Presidency of the Republic. Great preparations are making for the grand file which the city of Paris is about to give to the Corn missoners of the Exhibition of all Nations on the 2d August. The Prefects of the principal towns in France have been invited. _ . It appears certain, says the Debats, that th e Pre fect of the Seine has received the reply of Lord GRANVILLE, Vice-President of the Royal Committee of the,Exhibition of London, to the invitation sent for the municipal banquet of the 2d of August next. Lord GRANVILLE announces that he shall shortly come to Paris, where the name of his father, who was English Ambassador for ten or twelve years after the revolution of July, has left the most honourable souvenirs. To the other fetes, which the city of Paris intends to offer to its guests, as al ready announced, we may add, a representation at fte °peril, for the evening after the grand ball at the Hotel de Ville. The Municipality has retained seve ral hundred places for this representation. The Bonapartist Committee for, the revision of the Constitution has issued a bulletin urging on the agitation from petitions. The Sanitary Congress has been formally opened at the Mini etry fur Foreign Affairs, where it held its first sitting on Wednesday. M. BAROCRE, who was in the che,ir ' made a speech, in which he stated the objects of the Congress, and expressed a hope that it would lend to a material modification of the rigour of the quarantine laws. The ikurober of members present bt ?jag only sixteen, the second sitting was, after some• discussion as to the mode of proceeding during the , Congress, fixed for the 4th of next month, in order to give time for the arrival of the other eight members. Accounts have been received from Algiers to the 20th. They announce the continued successes of the expedition ary column in Kabylie. The Utl:i011 Franc- Condoise,. of Besancon, pub lishes the following extract of a letter, written by General RikRAGUAY D'HILLIERS to one of his friends, in the dep arrment of the Doubs : " I hope that my determination to quit the command of the army of Paris, will have been properly under stodd in tho department of the Doabs; but I owe it to my friends to explain myself clearly to them. Art. 68 of the Constitution does not permit me to be at the same time a representative and a functionary of the Statq. The second paragraph of that article leaves it to the elector al law to specify the exceptions which are to be made to , this rule. Art. S 5 determines these excep tions, amoor, which is not included the command of the army of Paris. I found myself, therefore, placed under the uccessity of either resigning that command or my seat as repve sentative. I considered that owed to the electors, w..(:) did me the honour of returning me to the Assembly, to sacrifice my command. In the interest of the Government and of my own dignity, I would not expose myself to tho reproach of illegality. The first duty of a good citizen is to respect the laws of his country, how ever absurd they may be. As a general and as ex-president of the Parliamentary Club of the Rue de Poitiers, I was bound to set an example. Such were the only motives of my determination, and I leave my fellow-mtizens to appreciate them. In my eyes, there is nothing more distressing than the violation of the law by those whose (hay it is to make it respected."

ROADS. • (From the Bath Chronicle.) Oa Fr:day evening a public meeting took place at the G uildhall, in this city, for the purpose of receiving from Messrs. Motley and Clarke an explanation of the details, improvements, and advantages, of their patent steam-car riages for travelling, on common roads. Mr. E. Saunders was called to the chair, and the audience, which was exceed ingly numerous, manifested considerable interest in the proceedings. Mr. Motley having wade a short preliminary statement, Mr. Clarke proceeded to describe their steam carriage by the aid of several models. We may pre mise that experience has demonstrated the practica bility of running steam-carriages on common roads, though it is a question whether it can be done profit ably. Hitherto, the general opinion amongst engineers has been, that wherever sufficient traffic exists to render the use of steam-power profitably, a railway must al ways supersede a common road ; and that even on the limited branches, or on roads feeding trunk railways, horse-power would be cheaper than steam-power on common roads. But steam-carriages on common roads would be a far more preferable mode of con veyance than horses, because it is under the most perfect control, and a carriage thus propelled is capable of being guided with the most admirable precision. It may also be stopped slanost suddenly, whatever be its speed, and it may le turned in less space than a four-house coach, while in turning sharp corners there is no danger, if the conductor exercises common care. On the other hand, horse-power is under very imperfect control. It is very difficult to control four such horses as can draw a heavy stage-coach ten miles an hour, in case they aro frightened, or choose to run away; and for such quick travelling they must be kept in that state cf courage that they are always inclined to run away, particularly down bill, and at sharp turns in the road. The only danger peculiar to a • steam-carriage is that of explosion, but owing to the man ner in which the boilers of steam-carriages are con structed, this is imaginary rather than real. The pipes or flues used in the boiler being weaker than its sides, must invariably burst first, and the result is that the fire is put out, and all danger prevented. For instance, Mr. Hancock ..- s tates that whilst trav e lli ng with his steam-carriage on a comm_o : n2 44 o ,.% ad, it the a rziine came to a dead .4- , , t ~~~. the water had flowed on the fieeTtirriMeeileesisurnee7 , explosion, nor any dangerous consequences ensued. es on c ommon roads prior others., it will be re membered,but they were d efect i ve Mr. Hancock, Mr. Gurney, and tothe form u a s t e i o d n s t c o a f m r - a c i a l w r r a i y a in several points. The great resistance of turnpike roads required a great power to overcome it; whilst the weight of the machinery rendered it essential that the carriage should be very strong to resist the shocks of the rough surface of the road. The jolt ing motion of the axles was liable to break the bar of the steering apparatus which was fixed to it, thereby ren dering the carriage unmanagable; and the use of springs rendered the motion of that part of the carriage which rested upon them, different from that of the part of the carriage which supported them, whilst the moving power was so connected with the wheels that the machinery had one motion, and the wheels driven by it had another motion. The result was that the steam-carriages formerly worked were very prone to break down. Messrs. Motley and Clarke assert, how ever, that they have conquered all the defects which mar red the success of their predecessors. In the first place, they have, invented a new mode of steering, whereby the steering-wheel is connected with the wheels, and move them quite independently of the axle on which they turn. The breaking of (ho steering apparatus, which was a very common eceurrence in the carriages where it was connected with the axle, is, therefore, ob viated. Next, the power is applied to the drieicg wheels in such a manner that the springs on which the Machinery is supported, act efficieetly in preventing the injurious effects both of vertical and horizontal coneus sione, whilst the driving wheels can be made to move at different veloeities to facilitate the turning of curves. Next, great power is obtained by an ingenious mode of separating the spray from the steam, w hilst lightness is secured by keeping the steam Lot and working it exeansivelv. Messrs. Motley and Clarke propose to piece th© machinery in one cerriege, and convey the passengers in another attached to it. 'no boiler, which is the mo , t essential part, is cheap in first cost, light in weil4ht (nt:4, weighing more than one hundred 7Feilit per horse-power, when using the steam without expansion), it is easily repaired Oren deranged, and will heir a pressure of 3001bs. on the inch with perfect safety. A boiler of fifteen-horse power will only oc cupy a space of two-and•a•half feet wide, four feet long, and six feet high. A steam dray, as they style it, of ten-horse power, the cost of constructing which would be 4001., would convey forty passengers at au average speed of ten miles an hour. The maximum speed would be fifteen miles an hour, and it would as cend an incline of one in ten at the rate of four miles an hour. The expense of working a steam-dray, in wages, coal, toll:, and repairing fund, the projectors estimate at one farthing a mile, so that the passengers might be conveyed from Bath to Bristol for 6d., at a profit of 50 per cent. Much interesting information was elicited on the subject of steam travelling from Messrs. Motley and Clarke by questions put to them by William lel'Adam, Esq., Mr. Mitchell, the City Engineer, and other gentlemen. The Chairman after wars lucidly recapitulated the points touched upon in the explanations of Mr. Clarke, and expressed his readiness to aid in furnishing Messrs. Motley and Clarke with the means of giving their carriage a fair trial. A vote of thanks having been given to the projectors, on the mo tion of Mr. G. Hunt, seconded by Mr. C. Cox, Mr. Motley returned thanks in an interesting speech. He remembered, he said, at the last interview which he had with the ingenious Lord Stanhope, in 1815, his Lord ship, who was then endeavouring, at great expense, to propel ships by steam, made this observation to him Mr. Motley, I am told that I am a madman to attempt to apply wheels to unequal surfaces, but though I have spent much time and much money in the attempt, lam not discouraged, for lam confident of success.' His Lordship was no more, but the whole ocean was traversed by steam-ships. ,He (Mr. Motley) had erected a bridge near this city which General Pasley, the Go vernment Inspector, had pronounced to be of a supe rior kind; and having done ono good thing, he asked the meeting to give him credit for doing another. For ho was satisfied that steam-carriages running on coramon roads, in those directions winch were not tra versed by railroads, would bo a great advantage to the community. Mr. T. Harvey moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded by Mr. M'Adam, and carried unanimously. The Chairman acknowledged the compliment is a very happy manner. A vote of thanks to the Mayor for his courtesy in granting the use of the hall followed, and the meeting then separated. I 1 Extract from a letter addressed to Mr. Motley by James Sims, Esq., the eminent Cornish engineer, read at the above meeting : " Redruth, July 12, 1851. " You have got with you a partner in the patent who is endowed with a highly inventive mind, and having myself noticed the various plans hitherto brou g ht b e f ore the public, I have no hesitation in saying that the plans suggested to me by Mr. Clarke are very far superior to any other that has come under my notice. " I have no doubt whatever that the steam-carriage for common roads will soon get extensively into use, and will bo the next magnificent improvement with which the inventive genius of this great scientific country will astonish the world." We understand it is proposed to raise the sum of 5001. in sums of 5/., and to give the advantage of success to the first subscribers in due proportions to the amount subscribed. The project is warmly advocated by the Chairman, E. Sanders, Esq., and other members of the Town Council and the public, and that the Chairman and other influential gentlemen will form a committee of inanag,ernent for effecting the important objet in view. el. te Two PRETTY PILGRIMS.—The Milan .... azej , 1 tu relates the following curious stay : —" On or about the inst., at two o'clock at night, two young girls, They were of whom could not be more than eighteen, t P themselves at one of the gates of Florence. d-brimmed both dressed in white and barefooted, worevbrea e d.

A FRENCH WAITER .—A coffee-house keeper of the Rue de la Harpe having perceived that his more expen sive sorts of liquors disappeared every day, suspected the waiter specially charged with the care of them. Having seen that a bottle of vermuth was half emptied, he got . * druggist, his neighbour, to put a strong purgative into it. A little later, the suspected waiter was discovered to be suf fering from violent colics. "Good heavens !" said the coffee house keeper, with affected sympathy, " you have not surely been drinking vermuth in the cellar; if so, you are most as suredly poisoned, for the druggist next door asked me to take care of a bottle into which he bad p ut poison I" The waiter no sooner heard this dreadful statement, than be rushed from the house, but the idea that he had been poi soned had such an effect on him that he fell in th e s t reet, and was seized with an attack precisely resemblin g t h e svmptuns of poisoning. The . druggist gave him a remedy, and he recovere d, when the police, who had been attracted to the spot by the crowd . which had asse m bl e d , and had l earne d the truth of the affair from the keeper of the coffee house, took him into custody....
