All the accounts that reach us from Abyssinia are sure to attract attention and inspire interest, whether the details are many or few. By a tele gram despatched from Suez on January 8, it is re ported from Senafe that the natives are very friendly towards the forces, and that supplies are arriving. This is a very important thing, and one of the most reassuring pieces of intelligence that we have yet received. From the first hopes have been held out as to the goodwill of the natives, and nothing has transpired of a nature to contradict it. The troops are healthy, which is another fortunate report, especially as there have been some mis givings on this point, and not without reason, on account of the news from time to time received as to the sanitary condition of the forces. Still more reassuring is the next paragraph, to the effect that letters have been received from the captives, dated November 11, stating that they were then all- well. It is, indeed, most astonishing that these unfor tunate men should have preserved their strength and spirits as they have done, and it affords us a well-grounded hope that they may yet keep up to the end. King THEODORE is still in an embar rassed position, and perhaps he may never recover himself if our forces are able to get on with promp titude. On the whole, then, we may safely con clude that this last intelligence is of a satisfactory character, and that we have reason to believe that success may attend this expedition, the issue of which is so important and so vital to the interests of the country as regards its own sentiments and its prestige abroad. In some quarters L; has been rather the habit to run down this Abyssinian expedition, but we expect that those who are pleased to find fault would find themselves puzzled to ex plain what they mean exactly, and still more at a loss to show how the Government could have acted otherwise than they have done. It is very likely that this war would never have been necessary had not their predecessors been so unwise and uncer tain in their dealings with King THEODORE, but the consequences of that imprudence entailed upon the present advisers of her MAJESTY this grave responsibility, and it is both unjust and ungene rous to give them the blame of the misfortune occa sioned by others. As this expedition has become necessary, and has actually started on its way, it would be the most satisfactory thing, as well as the most becoming, to abstain from making any depre ciatory remarks upon it, and putting aside vexatious questions as to the why and wherefor of its depar ture, to await with interest the success of a cause which should be dear to all who really respect the rights of Englishmen, and desire to uphold the dignity of their country. The marvel of reading in London on the 9th news from New York dated the Bth has become so com monplace that men almost cease to notice it. It is nevertheless no small testimony of the progress of skill and science, and the year 1867 has something to boast of in having familiarised us with it. By its agency we are kept completely au courant with the course of American politics, and we on this side of the Atlantic are often sooner aware of the events at Washington than residents in the' more distant States themselves. The news which the electric messenger has just con veyed to us is not surprising, though it augurs ill for the American tax-payer. The Secretary of the Treasury has just issued his monthly state ment of the public debt and the cash in the Trea sury, from which we learn that so far from dimi nishirg at the rate which was once promised the national burden has actually increased. On the Ist of January the debt was $2,642,000,000, against $2,639,000,000 on December Ist, shoring an increase of $3,000,000. The cash in the Trea sury at the same date showed a decrease in a cor responding period of four million dollars. This is an ad litional proof of the evils of Radicallegisla tion, and will perhaps stimulate the more moderate party to further action. So long as the ruinous ex pense attending the military government of the South is kept up, and the energies of the country cramped by the desolating policy of the extreme fsction, there is little chance of amendment. The position of the finances has long been demand ing consideration, but it is so difficult and in vidious a subject that the most daring and ambitious politicians have been glad to postpone definite action. It has been of late pressed upon the consideration of the Legis lature; and hundreds of schemes and sugges tions, all more or less impracticable and illusory, have been brought forward. But while Congress is weighing their relative merits, and discussing their possible results, the debt goes on increasing. If it is to enlarge at the rate of three million dollars a month, the fortunes of the &ates will have to take a more favourable turn to enable them to pay the interest in any form whatever. We would rather anticipate that the evident decline of the Radical party in public estimation will lead to such a thorough alteration in the administration of national affairs that confidence and security may be restored throughout the country and that trade may revive. The Americans of whatever occupation never want for enterprise and energy, but public confidence has been so completely shaken by recent events that capitalists naturally fear to invest their money. The Southern States are at present a dead weight upon the industry of the North. If we consider for a moment their extent and their population, and then think what it would be to have such a pauperised nation dependent upon us, we shall realise in some measure the difficulty in which American statesmen find themselves. We must add to this the cost and burden of the military routine and the Freedmen's Bureau before we shall rightly appreciate the situation, and we shall then be thoroughly convinced that nothing but a com prehensive change in the form and spirit of admi nistration will relieve the Treasury or restore the prosperity of the Union. In regard to the political differences between the PRESIDENT and Congress, we find that the military committee of the Senate has presented a report recommending that the Senate should not concur in the removalof Mr. STANTON from his office. Whether THE SUN, LON THURSOAY E ENJNG, JANUARY 9, I,f * th ey concur or not, there is one thing certain: they -cannot reinstate the offending Secretary, and Gen. GRANT, once installed at the War office, will not be easily dislodged. The House of Representatives, we learn, has passed a resolution authorising the sale of fifty-four surplus ironclads. This does not look as if, in spite of their declamations, they contemplated war—and in fact the country is in no condition for it. To whom these ironclads are to be sold is not stated, but it is very likely that Russia is to be the purchaser. Fifty-four is a large number of vessels to dispose of, though the Americans can soon build as many as they require. Still, if we remember the account which an Admiral high in the sere ice gave of the difficulties against which the Federal Government had to contend at the opening of the war, we shall feel some surprise that Congress should sanc tion such a measure. Possibly it is done. with a view of enriching the national coffers. The French Army Bill has met with a better fate than some supposed possible for it, but it is fortunate that it should have done so for several reasons. In the first place, anything that looked like weakness or insecurity on the part of the Go vernment jnst now is to be deprecated, and this bill tends to interpose a check upon the encroachments of Prussia. No doubt the Berlin Cabinet would have rejoiced to hear of the defeat of this attempt, and recognised in the fact an additional pledge of their security and suc cess. Another cause for satisfaction is the passing of this measure, as at tne present time especially it would be a great pity if the supe riority of France was decreased in any way, and an idea became prevalent, even if it were an erro neous one, that her prestige was diminishing, and her glory was departing. It is now seen that the year which has just completed its course was not a lively one for our Continental neighbours, their star was not in the ascendant, and one thing after another seemed to damp their hopes and disappoint their expectations. Hence, it must be a relief to the mind of the nation to know that something decisive has been_ done to put matters in the right lice, and set the military position of France in a more sure and firm foundation. The Government of the EMPEROR deserve just credit for the zeal and ingenuity which they have displayed in the matter, and it is to be hoped that the result will justify their expectations. It by no means follows that war will ensue because people are prepared for it, and perhaps the news that France is about to concentrate her forces, and to invest herself with renewed power from more fully developing her vast re sources, may in itself be the herald of peace. The news that the French EMPEROR is to have an army of 1,100,000 men will do more to stop undue pre tensions, to check unfair claims, and to put down arrogant assumption than a hundred conferences and great diplomatic displays of skill. It will be a language all can understand, whether they like it it or not, and though some of its provisions may seem bard to our notions, it cannot be denied that the bill contains much that is good for the present and the future. There is, it would seem, very good reason to hope that England has not lost one of her most enter prising v have grounds r d o u n d distinguishedsforbelieving, sons has p rbe L n i\ s r e IN en GS i T n ON th E e , vicinity of Lake Tanganyika. Mr. REUTER yester day received a telegram from Alexandria, dated Jan. 7th, reporting a message from Zanzibar bear ing so late a date as December Ist. " Intelligence from .Keelwa," so runs the message, " states that Dr. I.tviNosToNE, or a person resembling him, was seen travelling towards the west of Lake Tanganyika." The date at which this traveller was seen is not given, but the news from Zanzibar comes nine days later than the intelligence already published by the Government, so that Dr. LIVINGSTONE must have been seen on the west of the lake, which, it must be remembered, is 300 miles long. It is clear that the person referred to must have been a European traveller; and, therefore, as no other would have been likely to penetrate so far, there is every reason to hope that the tale of the Johanna men was altogether false. Should we be fortunate enough to welcome the ad venturous explorer once more among us, it will not have been by any means the first occasion in which the explorer of a distant and dangerous locality has been given up for lost. The enterprise is in any shape one of great peril, but, at the same film-, Dr. I.IVINGSTONE has courage, resource, experience, and presence of mind to assist him ; and these, we may trust, have, under PROVIDENCE, stood him iu good stead when his worthless attendants and servitors have failed him. BOW, OLD FORD, AND BROMLEY COAL RELIEF FUND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —May I solicit the valuable aiJ of The Sun on behalf of a fund which I believe has rendered good service among the destitute in this eastern section of the metropolis. Reference to your ad vertising columns will show that by the liberal en couragement given to the committee last winter they were enabled to make nearly 6,000 gifts of coal to the destitute poor of the district, and the testimony of the medical officers affords ample proof of a timely supply of fuel having been the means of relieving a large amount of human suffering, if not of saving life. Another committee has been formed with a view of assisting those who, from their very unfortunate position; are unible to help themselves. Many cases of sad distress are hourly arising. The coin tnittee.have nrtde,soo gifts without soliciting extra neout aid, and now requiring help to meet the great destitution which still prevails, I hereby venture to seek your assistance by allowing me to appeal through the columns of The Sun to the benevolent to assist in this good work. I shall be glad to receive and acknowledge any subscriptions that may be forwarded me for this purpose.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,* AUSTIN CHAMBERS, Treasurer. MISS BURDETT COUTTS AND HER TMANTS.—Miss Burdett Cuutts has been at great trouble and expense in getting her tenants in Columbia-square, Bethnal-green, put upon the electoral register as voters for the new borough of Hackney. Still further to add to their fulness of knowledge respecting the relationship existing between "owners" and " occupiers" of houses and tenements under the Now Reform Act, she has had printed and distributed among her tenantry an extract from an important circular addressed by the Poor-law Board to the overseers of parishes. The tenantry, sensible of the importance of the communication which they had received from their land lady, held a meeting on December 17, at which a resolution was unanimously adopted, expressing the opinion that Miss Burdett Coutts deserved the grateful . thanks of her tenantry for having sided them in obtaining this benefits of citizenship, and for having voluntarily defrayed all the expenses attendant upon their being put upon the electoral roll. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A MEDICAL 'GENTLEMAN. —Dr. Swift, of Eecleshall, near Stafford, met with a shock ing accident on Monday evening, which proved fa - tal to him on the spot. He was returning home after dusk on horseback along a bridle-road, when, on coming to a hurdle which bad been placed across the way during the day to prevent some sheep straying, his horse stumbled and threw him to the ground, dislocating his neck. The unfortunate gentleman lay there dead some time before the accident was discovered, THE STIRCHLEY MURDER.—Yesterday the inquest respecting the death of Barnard Zusman, the Birmingham jeweller's traveller, who was found murdered at Stirchley, in Shropshire, was resumed, and, as it was thought ad visable in the interest of justice, an open verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown was re turned, LATEST INTELL (GENCE.

Upon the draft of tha address in reply to the Queen's speech being brought into the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, Senor Gonzalez Bravo, the Minister of the Interior, made a speech, of which the most strikin g portions are here given : " Something very ser i ous , v ery important, is incon testably taking place in the worle of the civilised society of Europe in general. Extreme rumours and great reticenc e p r o c eed from great causes ; they cannot be expl a i ne d by petty reasons. Wher ever great contests, great disagreements, great lasting discussions occur, they must indubitably be produced by great causes ; and when silence reigns in places where people might speak, where the right so to do is not refused—where liberty and talent are not fettered—the fact is ow ing to some great superior cause which weighs upon all. What is that cause ? It has been alleged to be that expressed in her Majesty's speech, as well as in the draft brought in by the committee. • • • . Now, I have no desire to evoke a debate which nobody else has entered upon, and it is no. for me to seek by my language to corroborate the eloquent words you have heard from the most au B ust person in the realm. A previous speaker (Senor Nocedal) has said here is a question which dominates all others, which rises up like towers above humble buildings, and in face of which all other topics, if they do not en tirely disappear, at any rate become dwarfed, and that is the truth. It is true from the point of view of all men and of all sects, even the most diverse and most furiously bent upon attack ing the great legitimacy whose existence is the ob ject of this most important question. Why are all voices raised? Why are so many objurgations heard ? Why do so many criticisms and clamours recommence ? Why do rumours of revolution break out against that Power? Because it is the key of this great question of modern times. Why do we see grouped around that rampart all alarmed con sciences—all men who do not wish to walk in dark ness—all who, without being blind to the natural progress of humanity, do not desire to advance without light, guide, or compass, without ideas, without that quid intimunt in default of which man lives like an animal, and is unworthy of being considered an intelligent being ? Because in de bating this question that of all authority is de bated ; and do you know in what the question of authority consists? it is the work of humanity inspired by God, without which humanity is dissi pated, like dust carried away by the violence of a hurricane. . • . . Gentlemen, it is the practice outside this country, when speaking of Spain, to allude to her with a kind of disdain. I do not know what society or what cabal of authors has seized upon the Spanish name, occupying itself with vilify ing Spain and depicting the commonest things in our country in such a manner that no one can re cognise them. A kind of conspiracy has been en tered into to place us in the rear of all good things, and always at the head of those that are bad. It is essential ,that those who vilify and ca lumniate us in other places should know that one thing indubitably does exist in Spain, viz , a sacred spirit that has reunited us in a great danger. This spirit, happily, is not dead. It may be reflected, consecrated anew, and represented in the vote you are about to give. When Europe shall see that the deputies of the Spanish people, when a question like this comes uppermost, show themselves united, and arise, to use the expression of Napoleon 1., like one man of honour, it may be that people will ask them selves whether truth or falsehood is daily written concerning Spain ; then, it may also be, people will reflect and rectify their opinions." It has already been telegraphed that the draft of the address was carried by 161 votes to 3. 711 E LAZE COLONEL KENNEDY, C.B. An event which has created a most painful im pression on English society at Alexandria was the death of Colonel Kennedy from neglected dysentery on the night of the 18th of December. Among the many officers who have been lately added to our colony few were so generally esteemed among the small circle of acq'iaintance which they have made during their short stay ; and apart from this there were other circumstances which tended to render the event still more sad. Connected with the Transport service for the Abyssinian Expedition, his work seemed, for the t ime at least, almost com pleted, and while he was looking forward to spending his Christmas at home his wife is sum moned out to attend him in a serious illness, and will arrive only to hear that he is dead. The body was to be sent home ; general invitations signed by Colonel Ross, C. 8., the deputy-quarter master-general, announced that the funeral cere mony would take place at 3 o'clock on the 20th with military honours, and there were few who did not appear to pay this last ,tribute of respect. The cortege assembled at the house of the deceased, on the hill of Corn el Dik, about one mile from the town, but the procession was formed further on, at the Rosetta gate, just without the walls of the City, under the direction of Colonel Ross, whose friend and comrade he had been. Everything was arranged with the utmost care indeed, but with perfect simplicity. The hearse, preceded and sur rounded by marines and seamen, led the way in dead silence across the desert where the pretty little English cemetery is situated; then, in full uniform, the military and naval officers of the Terrible and the French frigate, Colonel Stanton (the Con sul-General) walking between the Egyptian authorities, Scherim Pasha (Governor of Alex andria), and Lattif Pasha (Admiral of the Port) ; then the r epresentatives of the British and other Consulates, closed by a crowd of civilian friends. It was a simple and impressive sight, as the long and silent procession moved across the desert ; the very absence of music increased the effect, the stillness being only broken by the report of the minute-gun of the Terrible in the distance. Arrived at the cemetery, the plain deal coffin was carried out by the Marines and placed upon a stand in the centre of a group of trees. The hat, sword, and medals of the deceased were then laid on the bier, while the chaplain, standing by a roughly-made cross serving as a tombstone to some grave, read the service in a voice which hardly broke the silence of the dense crowd. Many of those who had known the deceased best were visibly affected, and even to those who knew him but slightly there was, apart from the respect that the man himself had so tho roughly inspired, something even more than ordi narily touching iu that homely service as it was read over the corpse so far from home. No salu'e was fired ; the body was placed in the deadhouse, and conveyed the next day on board the Crocodile for England. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKEI-7his Day. Alarket opens dull and easier.

This substance, also known under its old name of extract of Saturn, an :important element in ma teria medico, is prepared in various ways, and the new French pharmacopire or Codex, published in 1866, gives a process which, in the opinion of its authors, will free it from every particle of copper; for which purpose, among other things, it is re commended that the operation be conducted in earthenware instead of copper vessels. On this point 11..Alagne Lahens, in a paper inserted in Dr. Caffe's," Journal des Connaissances Modicales," differs from tie authors of the Code; and con tends that earthenware vessels are extremely incon venient, especially when it is required to put them into a water-bath, and are moreover apt to crack, while copper vessels are exempt from this drawback. It is true, they are subject to another, viz., that of communicating particles of copper to ihe extract ; and it has been proposed to avoid this by boiling in the vessel the water required for the opera tion before introducing the compounds of lead. This answers the purpose to a certain ex tent, but is far from yielding an acetate of lead perfectly exempt from copper. M. Lahens next examines another method, which consists in putting grains or plates of lead into the copper vessel while the operation is in progress, and this, especially in the case of leaden plates, he finds to answer infinitely better, since it not only prevents the liquid from borrowing any copper from the vessel, but also causes all the copper with which the compounds of lead are usually tainted to be precipitated on the plates, provided the following rules be observed : —l. The surface of the leaden plate must be completely renovated by scraping just before using 'it; 2. The leaden surface should be proportioned to the quantity of acetate to be made ; 3. The leaden plate should be bent circularly, and be nar , row enough to be entirely immersed in the liquid ; it ought also to be so placed as to have its lower border in contact with the copper vessel in as many points as possible. In this way the two metals con-. stitute a sort of voltaic pile, which acts long enough to cause the precipitation of all the particles of copper contained in the extract, either on the leaden plate or on the sides of the vessel. This is an im mense advantage+, which could not be secured if earthenware vessels were employed.

CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARR (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESI;.X, Jan. 8. The frost has recalled a historical fact. On the sth of January, in 1791, Napoleon went out to skate on the ditch, at that time deep, which borders the fortress-wall outside Auxonne. Dinner hour having sounded, the future Em peror took off his skates and prepared to depart. " Another turn," said two of his fellow-students. He hesitated a moment, and then said, " No, it is time to go." The others would not hear of leaving off, and dashed on again; but the moment after the ice gave way, and, in spite of all the efforts of Napoleon Bonaparte to save them, they were both drowned. In the course of a day or two there will be sold by auc tion a medal so curious that I have no doubt a large price will be offered for its possession. It is composed of lead which was used to rivet the chains of the prisoners of the Bastille, and - bears the following inscription :—" This lead sealed the fetters which chained tha victims of despotism . and recalls the period of lib:;rty conquered in the year ler." This is on one side ; the obverse is embellished with a somewhat confused representation of the taking of the Bastille, and bears date 14th July, 1789. Your readers have heard much of the Princess de Metternich. Let me give her portrait as sketched in the Paris Magazine :—" She is said not to be pretty. Listen to the enumeration of her beauties : Eyes which have the sweetness of a German reverie ; teeth of brig test enamel ; a forehead smooth and clear as an infant's, 'high and wide as that of a thinker ; and abundant silky brown hair. People seem not to notice two particular beauties of her Austrian Highness : the form of her head, as Greek as that of the Venus of Milo ; her ear like a pink shell— whereas, everyone does justice to the beautiful fall of her shoulders, the exquisite form of her arm, the long aristo cratic hands, and the narrow, dainty foot. Be she dressed in blue, red, or yellow; be she coiffed with her toque over her eyes, or with a sergent-de-ville's cap, as she appeared one day at the Tuileries—she is and remains a princess ; and there are not many now. Witty, with a heart of gold, and extremely charitable, she is the adoration of the work men's families she visits in the FituboUrg St. Antoine ; jumping the children on her knees, washing them, kissing them, sitting on a stool if there are not chairs enough— such is the woman. Devotedly and fondly attached to a good man—Prince de Metternich—such is the wife." The significance of a double defeat of the Government in election districts where it had every reason to look for success is fully appreciated here, and is regarded as evidently conveying a censure on the general policy of the Government. I find also that it is looked upon as a special protest against the Army Bill. The manufactory of the new guns at Meudon has re ceived another visit of inspection from the Emperor. Of course great curiosity prevails to know what is going on inside the building, and several too prying visitors to the neighbourhood have been quietly arrested. Being on this subject, I may mention as a matter of rumour that our fortifications are to be adorned with cannon. Though this statement must only. be taken for what it is worth, it is a fact that the War Office has issued large orders to private builders for gun carriages. It is seldom that journalists are so candid in the expo sition of their designs as M. Henri Rochefort, who, in announcing the appearance of his new venture, La Sau terne, says he means " to make himself generally disagree able." I believe that M. Rochefort couldn't brook the in terference he met with from M. Pinard during the time he contributed to the Figaro. I hear it confirmed that M. Messon, the editor of tne Union Bretanne, published at Nantes, will succeed M. Paulin Limayrac as semi-official writer in chief on the Constitutionnel. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Morning Herald intimates that the distress amongst the poorer classes in Russia, owing to the bad harvest, is in many parts of the country very severe. At the opening of tht Provincial Assembly of Novgorod, the Governor told the members that the province had to look forward to a yea of great difficulty both to the proprietor and the labourer. The bad harvest and the cattle plague had reduced the working classes to a state of misery, and he recommended a liberal vote of money to supply the peasants with the means of subsistence, and to furnish them with seed for the next year. The Governor of Olonetz opened the Pro vincial Assembly of that government with a similar• address. A committee has assembled at Berlin to draw up a uni form code of civil procedure for the Northern Confedera tion. All the members, at the head of whom is placed the Minister of Justice, belong to North Germany. The large number of forged notes in circulation in 'Russia has rendered necessary the issue of paper money of a novel design. A belief prevails in some quarters of Berlin that the late M. Dreyse, the inventor of the needle gun, has left papers which prove that towards the end of the last war he was in constant communication with the Court of the Tuileries, and that he had revealed to the Emperor the mysteries of the needle-gun. It is also said that the other inventions made by M. Dreyse were not confided to the Prussian, but to the French Government, without the knowledge of the former. The number of artisans employed in the arms manu factories at St. Etienne has been increased to 5,000, not including those employed at Anailly, where extensive machinery for the production of muskets has recently been erected. The latter establishment can deliver 40,000 barrels monthly. A correspondent of the Star shows how the King of the Netherlands has discovered a new method for preventing Ministerial crises. It is that of' instituting a Ministry in perpetuity. When the Second Chataer rejects important Government bills, his Majesty dissolves the former, and issues a proclamation to his subjects calling upon them to return only such candidates as engage to support the Ministry he has chosen. Should the new Chamber prove hostile, it would be again dissolved. Indeed, the process would be continued until the Parliament thoroughly ac• commodatcd itself to the Ministry. , th w e r o it p i e n n a in f g r° ( 7 l MAexiccoorruenspdeormdleantet D of ece th m e be H r 9 o : n d in es g cr P ib o e s s t the Congress on the previous day, which was Sunday. President Juarez was in attendance, and when a. formal organisation had been effected, he read what in the United States would be called the " President's Message," and in England the " Speech from the Throne." His voice was almost inaudible. The text of th 3 speech has already a ppeared, and, with the reply of Senor Montes, was little more than a choice specimen of the rhetorical self-glorifi cation' in which Mexicans are so fond of indulging. The same correspondent mentions that though the finan cial situation of the Mexican Government is admitted on all hands to be bad, the supporters of the present Adminis tration declare that the nominal amount of the various foreign and domestic claims, against the Government can b e greatly reduced by the strict scrutiny to which they are all to be subjected, and that shortly a financial state ment will be put forth by the Administration, which will shew that it is not impossible for Mexico to pay all the debts which she honestly owes. Colonel Hogg, the Conservative member for Bath, who seconded the Address to the Crown at the opening of the session, has been selected for the honour of proposing "The health of her Majesty's Ministers" at the forth coming banquet at Bristol. It will be responded to by Lord Stanley. The chairman is to be the Duke of Beau fort, the Lord High Steward of the city. The banquet, which is to take place on the 22nd instant, is expected to be one of the most influential gatherings'which has ever taken place in the West of England. In expressing a hope for the speedy recovery of Sir John Rolt, the Bath Chronicle fears that the paralytic attack from which the learned judge now suffers will materially impair his strength, and may possibly necessi tate his retirement from the judicial bench. In such an event, the successor to the dignified position of Lord Jus tice of Appeal in Chancery would be the present Solicitor- General, Sir Charles Selwyn, brother of the new Bisho of Lichfield. In speculating upon the possibility . of Sir Charles Selvvyn's elevation, one remarkable fact cannot fail to be impressed upon the mind, and that is, the richness of the Conservatives and the poverty of the Liberals in equity men. Lord Romilly, the present Master of the Rolls,and Sir W. P. Wood, now Vice-Chancellor, were the two last Chancery supporters possessed by the Whig party ia Par liament. On the promotion of the latter, Lord Aberdeen appointed a Peelite, Sir Richard Bethell, to the Solicitor- Generalship. When Lord Campbell died and Sir Richard took his place as Lord Chancellor, Lord Palmerston had not a single equity man in the House of Commons, and was constrained to bring in Sir Roundell Palmer and make him Solicitor-General. In the next Liberal Administra tion there is little doubt that Sir Roundell Palmer's place will be on the woolsack, and unless in the meantime one or two leading Chancery barristers take their seats on the Liberal benches, the new Ministry must again go out of the ranks of their party for a law officer of the Crown. Mr. Ellice, M.P. for the St. Andrew's district of burghs. in addressing his constituents, said that while he lookel upon the Conservatives as deserters from their party, yet he accepted a Reform Bill from them, as he believed in the truth of the principle, " Measures, not men." He thought that Conservatives of the future would be compelled to follow in the paths of the Liberal party. The basis of the franchise on household suffrage he considered satisfactory, because permanent; but man hood suffrage was not ; in his opinion, ripe for discussion. Though admitting that Ireland had been harshly treated, he thought the attention of Parliament had been unduly 0 150 44 4911 gUri Bl 4, Me461403t " 1-42 1 % . Court HER MAJESTY. - OSBOME, Jan. 8.

Thus, at the close of 1867, the number of patients in the asylum. was 587, as compared with 573 at the close of 1866, 544 at the close of 1865, 550 at the close of 1864, 521 at the close of 1863, 498 at the close of 1862, and 467 at the close of 1861. It is satisfactory to note that 101 patients under treatment recovered their reason last year. THE SALE OF BREAD.—The police in Cornwall are paying much attention to the sale of bread, and bakore and shopkeepers are being weekly 'brought before the magistrates and charged with selling bread otherwise than by weight. The county Bench at Truro on Monday fined . three shopkeepers sums varying from 10s. to £2 and cost for this offence; during last week there were seven similar convictions in different parts of Cornwall. In every ease the bread was proved to be below the weight which should have been given for the money paid.

SINGULAR CASE OF Loss AND RECOVERY. About three years ago Mrs. Stewart, Moutboy, while feed' iug her calves, allowed one of them to suck her fingers' , but on withdrawing her hand beheld with consternation that her marriage ring and another which she wore as e keeper had disappeared, the calf having apparently swat' lowed them. In consequence of this the animal wag kept at Moutboy, where it was reared, fattened, and slaugh' tered last week, when a proper search was made for th e missing treasure, and at the first incision made upon the intestines, both rings were found as clean and as bright a 6 they were when thsy went amissing three years before. -- Brechin Advertiser.
