'" u anaington, Warwick, and Stratford-upon=Avon Br GEORGE BOTTOULEY, ESQ., F. R. C. S. t I consider the sanitary measures, as carried ant in Croydon, of national importance. The doings of the Croydon Board of Health having been attended with most disastrous consequences to life, health, property, and trade, too much publicity cannot be given to them, to prevent other towns from falling into a similar mis take. The Board of Health at Croydon has evidently entertained an erroneous opinion that the medical pro fession, as a body, are opposed to any and all sanitary. improvements. I therefore deem it necessary to re move such a feeling ; for, on the contrary, they are desirous and hail with delight any proceeding that will improve the public health. Upon the completion of the tank for the supply of water to the town, a din ner took place at the Greyhound, Croydon, at which forty or fifty gentlemen, principally members of the Board at Croydon and their friends, and some gentlemen connected with the London Board, attended. Upon that occasion there was not a medical practitioner, con nected with Croydon present. The truth was, that the charge for the dinner was 215., and the medical men of Croydon thought it too much ; and indeed it appeared to them rather intended to make it exclusive. At that dinner one of the gentlemen from London, in returning thanks for his health having been drunk, alluded to the there was a nots unfortunate being an o v a e s r it o o w k a e s r Croydon, prhaasctiptrioonveersd awomulodstbemaatrkaeddisfcaoiluun absence of the medical men of the town, which he said evidently arose from their dislike to sanitary improve ments, for it would no doubt remove fever, &c. , and that cam T e he in tu c b on u ta lar ct very commencement to the present time. there would be but little for them to do. 'I he remark o d f ra d i r n a s i drainage, : gsp c o a o x is ri m o t out scattered i t l o lib d e i ra rlt then), when they s w y i s t t h em o d lay the pipes at the backs of hous es, tbie workmen, discount e n — fromn ordersh thert to the contents about, thereby saturatin g the earth with their contents. When the rain came, accompanied with a hi g h s t a t e o f temperature, poisonousgases were exhaled from the earth. Thi s w i th the network of small pipes taking very tortuous courses, occasioning stoppages in all directions, both in the premis s of private dwellings, as well as in the - public streets • the getting rid a those obstruction s , for w hi c h the • p were removed and th e con t ents pumped tip into i thees main streets, and the sewaze allowed to find its way along the gutters, throwing ; _ off poison as it went, the surface water drainage allowed to remain undisturbed, and the open gratings pouring forth smells of the vilest character. Not only were the abominations permitted to remain, but their course cut off, and their contents allowed to percolate the earith ; and the receptacle f or the sewage is close to the to•wn, and the ditches in its neighbourhood, filled with the sewage, pouring forth more stinks and more poi: don ; and the contents of that receptacle, sold as rn anure, is carried through the town in the night, and allowed to be put into a hole which is open ; so that there were not only one or two causes, but many . These may be thus sum med up :—The distributing of the old drains and cesspools, the escape of sewage in privy to dwellings, and the pump ing of it up into the public streets, arising from the stoppages frequently occurring in the numerous small pipes, which run a very tortuous course ; the surface water drainage ; the resenvirs for the sewage on the west, and the accumulation of the contenta....carried through the town to the east, and then allowed to lay exposed and strewed over the fields in all directions, so that we are hemmed in on all sides, as well as in the town, with poisonous gases ; and the streets in the town dirty and filthy, and not a scavenger to be seen. I think I have stated quite enough to , account for the fearful fever of Croydon. As to prevention, nothing short of main-street sewers, and the dra.i'ns of every large house going directly into them, and where there are a cluster of small houses, let them be united and go directly into the main sewer, will be effective. Croydon has always been a very healthy town ; in fact, there is everything to make it so, in 'regard to situation, soil, &c. Both my private and public practice will bear me out in this, for upon referring to my book containing the certificates of death, I find only eight deaths from fever in the last five years, and most of those traceable to some immediate local cause. I have written to many places to ascertain the extent of fever in other parts of the country. It is reported in Croydon that fever pre vails all over, not only this country, but the Continent ; and, as far as I can learn, that has not been the case. I have, in addition, seen medical gentlemen from Man chester, Northampton, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Guild ford, Dulwich, Dorking, &c., who all declare therti is not now, nor has there been, any fever in their respec tive localities.

The ancients, we know, leant to the divinity of Fortune, and the greatest of orators esteemed her the supreme mistress of human affairs. But, in modern times, Prudence is placed above her; and it is held that every man can shape his destiny as he pleases. Perhaps, as is commonly the case, Truth lies somewhere between the extremes. Fortune, or Fate, or Accident, or Providence fixes for each one at birth his capacity and his apti tudes, his position and circumstances; and with the particular talents and station there is a certain task assigned too, though what that task be, few know till the best part of life be past. Perhaps, if our view were clearer, we should see that there is snore order in the reign of Fortune than we can now perceive or understand, and that in the great scheme of society, each being has that part allotted tc him which he is best able to fulfil."—Extract from Mr. Coulton's Preface.

The room was crowded to stjligh pressure degree throughout the afternoon, the raft preventing the sub scribers from having the usual Age and accommoda tion on the terrace and lawn adjoining. Much incon venience would, however, have been obviated had a suitable awning been spread over the whole length and breadth of the terrace ; for all such occasions some pro vision of the kind should be made. The chief business was the settlement of the Ascot accounts, which were for the meet part heavy, and on the wrong side of the book for the ring." Several balances were left open, and the non-contents were un questionably in a majority. We would suggest that it be made a rule of the room that all parties who settle by dvuty should - be com pelled to give noticelliered to thrkeeper of the room, whose business it should be to place a written announce ment to that effect on a board especially provided for that purpose. Late in the afternoon a few bets were made at the prices given below.

As far as lam able to state, about 1,600 cases of fever have occurred since the Ist of September to the present time (the 12th of Feb.). For the same period about 256 deaths were registered, 70 of which were from fever. Although that may ap pear a small rate of mortality, the number of cases is truly alarming ; many of them will be many months before they recover sufficiently to enable them to follow their avocations. The number of deaths is great ent of such a population as that of Croydon, and many of the deaths have occurred amongst the respectable trades. men in the High-street. The fever altogether has done so much mischief to the town and neighbourhood that it will take years to remove. The fevel44.is of the gastro-enteric form, which soon ran into a low typhoid remittent character, ocea. sionally maculated, accompanied with congestion of some vital organs, as the brain, lungs, liver, bowels, &c., requiring prompt and active treatment. Diarrhoea was frequent, as well as vomitting in many cases, and occa sionally htemorrhage from the bowels to an alarming extent, diarrhoea being one of the first symptoms. Cre taceous medicine, with aromatics and opium, and elle , mate with starch and opium, were of service ; and when hannorrhage from the bowels occurred, enemata with gallic acid and opium proved successful, in conjunction with the administration of gallic acid by the mouth. These, with liberal doses of quinine, ammonia, scrpen-. tary, and opium, and occasional small doses of mercury with-chalk, with Dover's powder, counter-irritation by mustard poultices and blisters, formed the chief means o4treatrnent. By carefully watching and almost antici pating symptoms, the cases I found in my practice to be thus successfully treated. It was stated by some to be a new form of fever ; I did not discover anything more than might be reasonably expected when so much poi son was generated and-inhaled, and what I had occasion ally witnessed, as well as most other practitioners, in the course of my practice. After having said so much about the cause, the effect, and result of this severe form of fever, which I am happy to say is now decreasing, in justice to the gentlemen of the Board of Health, I w i s h t o say that I respect every member of that board, which I am sure was most anxious to carry a sanitary plan that would have been satisfactory to the inhabitants. But the l'oard was to blame in adopting an almost theoretical system of drainage, and one so ill adapted to the town o f3roydon. I do hope that the Board of Health at Croydon will possess sufficient moral courage to institute a perfectly impartial, searching inot'ry, and if possible to take im mediate steps to remove the cause of fever. If not, it will then be the duty of the inhabitants and rate-payers to come forward for that purpose. Since the above was forwarded to us on February 12, and which pressure of matter has prevented us from in serting, Mr. Bottomley h-s again addressed us (Jim 4). He says :—" The publication of my paper, on the sanitary state of Croydon, would be of much value even now, seeing that the Government is making a great stir in the matter. It would therefore be of great ser vice to point out its evils, that other towns might not fall into the same error. We have had to the present time outbreaks of fever, though to a very limited extent; but I am very apprehensive, from the defective system of drainage, we may have it to an alarming extent in the autumn, when, what with frequent showers and a hot sun, the poisoned condition of the neighbourhood will give rise to another outbreak, unless very active meas ures be now taken to avert the direful calamity:— Lancet. 7-1 0 01 ;-.10 eat ° Y .

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, Established by Act of Parliament in 1834. No. 8, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, London. The distinctive features of the Company embrace, amongst others: Tables of Premiums formed on the lowest scale compatible with security, and constructed to meet the various wants of assurers, and every risk to which protection by assurance can be extended. One-half the Life Premium for the first Five years may remain on credit. Loans granted on approved Personal Security. Assured not restricted in their limits of travel, as in most other Companies, but may proceed from one part of Europe to another in decked vessels, without License, and to British North America, and many parts of the United States, without extra premium, by merely giving the ordinary notice to the Office in London of the intended visit. Whole-world Policies granted at slightly increased rates of Premium, thus rendering a Policy in money transactions a real security. Prospectuses, and every information, may be obtained upon appli cation to the Resident Director.

This is the first t me, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medi. cal reader.

"We nromised in a former number that we should recur to this worn, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,' and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from tn com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hindreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize-- much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment uon a more rational and physiological basis.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor s e eie Edinburgh, / e d e l er aaanrfydAMp Membernattnr l e e c t a i l r a i teocafd, theuM a e l m l r: b z e no r da o od f no athell hospital t v C c s l e t d y o a f i MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life , than perhaps any other" class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of the se diseases has p rov ed that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitflil Marri ages, Impotency , L ocal and Constitutional Weakn ess , and their en dl e ss modifications owe their a lmost e nti re origin. u t It is absolutely nec essar y that all men should know tha t there are principles of personal man a g ement which cannot be viol atedwith i n curring grievous penalties , a nd when wisdom and r egret succeed the heyday of inconside rate self-indulgence, how thesepenalties may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its conse q uenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the time l y aid of scien ascannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of . these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and . mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting thi+ department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirles, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostnims, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of it., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by tatty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful In mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At home from ten till live. THE APPROACHING VACATION. THE Midsummer Season is fast approaching, when our public schools will be relieved from the toils of tui tion, and when there will be a re-union of parents and children. L. HYAbf, in anticipation of the juvenile holidays, has prepared a Stock of Children's and Boys' Suits, altogether new in material, de sign, and manufacture. The manufacture of Dress for the Young forms a distinct and pro minent department of L. Hyam's trade. No cutters or workmen are suffered to contribute to this branch of the Proprietor's stock, but such as make it their sole occupation. The extensive trade which L. llyam carries on renders such an important regulation easily practicable ; and parents and guardians have evinced their high appreciation of the advantages arising there from. Without attempting to individualise each particular style, the Pro prietor would invite special attention to the POLONAISE and SPENCEIt SUITS, the elegant neatness of which has only to be seen to be admired. The HUSSARS and TUNICS are also worthy of high recommen dation, displaying, as they do, all the most recent improvements in this species of attire. The JACKETS, FROCKS, and other SINGLE GARMENTS are all that parents and guardians could wish them to be, and are made from new and beautiful materials, too various for specification. Although Juvenile Clothing forms so conspicuous a feature at L. Ilyam's Establishment, it must not be forgotten that dress for gen tlemen is here designed and made equally well, and at prices equally moderate. OBSERVE l—L. lIYAM begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch•street, City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of bust- Less carried on by L. lIYAM, where the public can be supplied with good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at such economical prices as must defy all competition.

On the one hand, by the cheap and convenient modes of travelling, and, on the other, by extraordinary attractions which may gratify every taste, for a journey to France or the Continent, or for a trip to Chobham to see the Encampment, or for an excursion to witness the operations of Nature and Art at a greater distance, the first and most essential preparation is a supply of BUMMER ATTIRE from the ESTABLISHMENT of E. MOSES and SON. Amplification may be dispensed with, since it is universally known that the DRESS made E. MOSES and SON is far more suitable for the SUMMER SEASON, or for any Season, than the Goods obtained elsewhere. The materials are proof against Sunbeams, Dust, and Showers. The styles are the most celebrated which have been pro duced, and are not only the first links in the chain of fashion, but the most comfortable designs ever introduced, either for juveniles or adults, for sportsmen or for every business, profession, and occupa tion. Elegance, Novelty, Durability, Fashion, and Comfort is com bined with every novel description of ATTIRE, to Measure or Ready made, at the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. The greatest distinction in Quality and Style, and the same rates of Prices are observed in the HAT and CAP department, in the GENERAL HOSIERY section, and in the Dress Department for Ladies and Children. The most extensive Stock of BOOTS and SHOES, of peerless quality, and every article charged considerably lower prices than at any other Establishment in the world. EMIGRATION TO THE COLONIES. - - - - - Emigrants will not leave England before they have selected their Outfits, and purcha sed the Clothing necessary for their voyage and their pursuits in a different climate. The facilities possessed by E. MOSES and SON in Outfitting are, like those of their other branches of business, perfectly unrivalled, both in the quality, suitability, and price of the Goods. It is now well known throughout this country and the Colonies that E. MOSES and -ON'S Clothing and Outfits for Emigrants are the cheapest and best investments The gigantic Wholesale De partment offers the greatest advantages to Merchants, bhippers, and Emigrants to all parts of the world. Ship sailing Information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, may be had on appli cation, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradestnan-like falsehood of Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, as follow' m'—inories, 83, London 84,85, and 86, Ald gate, oppos it e th e Ch urc h, all communicating. ex London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, City cep t E t s h t ae their h w iln , Establishments, 155, 6, and 3, Hart-street, all communicating.

Courant Amedee du Roscoat, of the department of Foreign Affairs, has left for St. Petersburgh with dispatches for the French Embassy. Count Panin, Minister of Justice to the Em peror of Russia, arrived at Paris on Saturday from St. Petersburgh. According to the Debats, which announces his arrival, he is said to be charged with a special mission to the French Government. By an order of the Minister of Public Instruc tion, M. Charles Fortoul, Sous-Chef do Cabinet to the Minister, is named Chef de Cabinet and head of the Secretary's office, in place of M. de Nanteuil, appointed Counsellor Referendary at the Court of Accounts. It is said that another camp is about to be esta blished at Mans. A certain degree of activity is displayed in all the military ports of France. Detachments of Marines, on their way to Toulon, pass almost daily through Paris. The British steamer Caradoc reached Malta on the Bth inst. Yesterday M. Kisseleff had a conference with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In this conference, which was most cordial, the Russian Ambassador stated that it was the intention of Russia to occupy the Danubian Principalities, but that they would not extend their occupation beyond the frontiers of those provinces. After giving an historical account of the dif ferent additions made to the Louvre by preceding monarchs, the Moniteur states that it was reserved to the nephew of the great Napoleon to accomplish the desire of so many generations,. by the comple tion of that building. All the works of construc tion are now adjudged, and it is stated that the Louvre will be finally terminated in rather more than four years. There was a still further improvement at the Bourse yesterday, and the public securities have now nearly recovered from the unfavourable im pression caused by the posture of affairs in the Fast. At the termination of business the Three per Cents. had risen 2f. 35c. for cash, and 2f. 20c. for the account ; whilst the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for money improved 2f., and 2f. 20c. for the end of the month. Bank of France shares ad vanced 20f. Closing prices :—For cash : Three per Cents., 78f. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 102 f. For the account : Three per Cents., 77f: 90c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102 f. 20c. ; Bank Stock. 2,660 f. In Bank of Credit Foncier shares no change occurred, being still quoted at 740 f. ; a rise of 47f. took place in shares of the Societ Mobiliere, which closed at 787 f. In the Railway Share darket there was much activity in business, and eventually a considerable advance in prices had taken place ; Lyons to the Mediterra nean shares rose 70f. ; Paris and Rouen, 65f. ; Paris and Lyons, 55f. ; Westerns, 47f. ; Paris and Strasbourg, 45f. ; and Northerns, 40f. The final quotations were :—Northerns, 880 f. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,012 f.; Paris and Strasbourg, 885 f. ; Paris and• Lyons, 900 f. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,015 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 7471. 50c. ; Western of France, 707 f. TURKEY. We find several articles, and some of them of interest, in the Paris journals of yesterday, on the Eastern question. The Constitutionnel is silent, but the other Ministerial journal, the Pays, enters rather freely into the consideration of the course to be taken by France and England, if the Emperor of Russia should occupy the principalities of the Danube. This occupation would, in the opinion of the Pays, be a violation of the treaties between Russia and Turkey, and would justify and render necessary the presence of the French and English fleets at Constantinople for the protection of the capital, but we see nothing in the article of the Pays to indicate that they would resort to reprisals 'if Russia should, for the moment, content herself with retaining possession of the principalities. The Mats quotes with great satisfaction the opinion of the Times, that the mere occupation of the princi palities would not and ought not to be regarded by the English and French Cabinets as a declaration of war against Turkey. This would be a great point gained by Russia, and if tolerated, as the _Mats thinks it will be, would put the Emperor in a position to dictate terms, but still the Debats is of opinion that a pacific solution would be arrived at by negotiation. The Assemblee Nationale expresses the same opinion. After declaring, as will be seen, that -the Emperor of Russia has sent a note to the Powers of Europe, in which he maintains all his demands upon Turkey, and intimates that he will occupy the principalities, the Assembles says that war will be avoided by subsequent negotiations. Our contemporary does not hold out a hope that the Emperor will make any important concessions, and if he does not intend to do so, it would be just as well to yield all that he asks now, as to keep the world in a state of suspense and anxiety. The Univers laughs at the idea of making appeals to the moderation and justice of the Emperor of Russia. Arms and not sermons are, according to this journal, the only means of inducing him to withdraw any of his pretensions. Tho Univers, however, pretends to have no confidence in the al liance that has been formed between England and France to check the ambition of the Autocrat. What it asks, can this affiance effect? The French and English fleets may burn the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, but that will not prevent the Russians from marching on Constantinople. There is but one alliance which, in the opi nion of the Univers, could preserve the equilibrium of Europe from the blow aimed at it by the Emperor of Russia. The Uni vers has such a horror of the alliance be tween a Catholic and Protestant country, even in the defence of the principles of justice, that it magnifies the means of Austria far beyond their real character. And even, supposing the alliance to be more desirable than that with England, how does it know that it could be effected ? The Siecle is as much for the alliance with England as the Univers is against it, but it does not attempt to conceal the fact that it advocates this alliance as much, perhaps more, from a belief that it must necessarily lead to the extension of liberal institu tions in France, as from the conviction that the two powers can, if they act cordially and energeti cally, prevent the destruction of the Turkish Em pire, and the consequent alarming increase of the power of the Emperor of Russia. The Assembles Nationale says : "We learn that a note from St. Petersburgh, which arrived in Paris on Saturday by a Cabinet courier, has been communicated to the different courts of Europe by the different ministers. In this note the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is said to declare that it is the intention of the Emperor to maintain the demands which he thought right to address to the Porte on the maintenance of the privileges and guarantees of the orthodox Greek re ligion, in the terms in which those demands were drawn up in the last dispatch of Prince 111enschikoff. After having developed the motives which induced the Em peror to exact new guarantees from the Porte, and to insist thereon, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is said to declare that the Emperor in nowise in tends to make war in Turkey, or to seize this occasion for encroaching on the integrity and indepen dence of the Ottoman Empire. The Cabinet of St. Petersburgh adds, however, that, in case the Divan should persist in rejecting the demands presented to it, the Emperor would think right to give to his army in Bessarabia the order to occupy the Danubian provinces. This occupation would not have the character of a de claration of war, since the difference at this moment pending between the Porte and Russia enters into the category of those which, according to the terms of the treaties existing between Russia and Turkey, may lead to the occupation of the provinces." The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, 10th, says : "A report was current yesterday that Count de Nes selrode, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, will re tire from office in case a war should break out. The count is, it is said, the only diplomatist of eminence who seriously wishes for the maintenance of peace." A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 3d, in the llarnburgh News, says : " Baron de Meyendorff, Ambassador of the Czar at Vienna, has carried out instructions concerning the me diation of Austria between our Cabinet and the Ottoman Porte. It was through the influence of the British Am bassador at Constantinople that the project of Russia to conclude a treaty with the Sultan for the protection of the Greeks failed. The nomination of Reschid Pacha has caused irritation, but the Czar endeavours to dis guise his dissatisfaction. His Majesty continues to in spect the different corps d'armee. He is about to visit Cronstadt to inspect the troops and the fleet. The Court Gazette publishes the orders of the day, in which the Czar expresses his satisfaction to the Grand Duke Constantine and the admirals, and accords a donation to the soldiers." The Press of Vienna of the 9th announces that a telegraphic dispatch had arrived, according to which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh had accepted the mediation of Austria in the difference with the Ottoman Porte. A letter from Vienna of the Bth says :—" A diplomatic dispatch which arrived here this day Poo!

RUSSIA. The Emancipation of Brussels announces the departure . of Baron de Maltitz, the Russian minis ter at the Hague. " This departure," says that journal, "is the result of an order sent to him to travel for three months, whichi if not equivalent to a recal, is generally its precursor." A letter from Vienna of the 7th, says :—" Count de Karnicki was received yesterday by the Em peror at a private audience, as was General Schlik on his return from executing a private mission to Milan. It is said that the Emperor will proceed shortly to Venice and thence to Milan. Ho starts on the 20th inst." The Grand Duchess Mary de Leuchtenberg passed through Warsaw on the Bth on her way to Germany. Prince Peter of Oldenburg has arrived at St. Petersburgh from Berlin. A new Imperial ukase has been published in Poland prohibiting Jewish women from wearing false hair. - Several have been punished for contra vention. Several Rabbis have declared that the experiments of the turning tables are contrary to the law of Moses, and o•nstitute a crime. Prince Paskiewitsch has left Warsaw for the pur pose of making a tour through Poland to inspect the magazines, forts, and arsenals, and also to make arrangements for provisioning the troops con centrated in the South of the Empire. ST. PETERSEURGH, JUNE 3.—To-day the Em peror reviewed the troops, and inspected ' Cron stadt, and the fleet now there. He expressed his satisfaction to the Grand Duke Constantine and the admirals, and granted a gratuity to the men. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the Bth contain no poli tical news of interest. The Espana says that there is no truth in the reports of a Ministerial crisis that had been current. The Diario and Nowlades an nounce that they have received notice that they are to be prosecuted for the publication of articles offensive to the Government. Frequent seizures of foreign journals, it is stated, have taken place of late in consequence of their containing attacks on distinguished personages and dignitaries. The Gazette says that the extraordinary bad weather has caused a good deal of sickness ; and the pro vincial journals contain further accounts of inunda tions, and other damage, having been caused by heavy rains. I The Three per Cents. were at 45. BELGIUM. The Belgian journals announce the death of Ma dame Van de Weyer, mother of the Belgian Ambassador at London. She was seventy-three years of age. The Chamber of Representatives of Belgium terminated its session on Saturday. Before break ing up, it voted a bill for allowing 518,000 fr. for a monument in honour of the National Congress, and 450,000 fr. for one to the late Queen. The Chamber expressed a wish that the column, which is to form the monument to the Congress, shall bo surmounted by a statue of the King. The Common Council of Brussels has voted 50,000 fr. for the fetes to be given in that city on the marriage of H.R.H. the Duke de Brabant and H.I.H. the Archduchess Maria Henrietta. A Vienna journal states that the marriage of the Duke de Brabant and of the Archduchess Maria will not take place by proxy. It adds that it will take place in the month of August, but that the day has not yet been fixed. The Belgian journals mention a report that ne gotiations are in progress for causing Belgium to join the Austro-German commercial union. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.
