They so perfectly resem ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extra ction of roots, or any painful operation, an 4 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.

Long and practical re experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that the are in exist ence secret causes of self -acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which ll Marri- Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanit y , Unhappy and Unfruitfi ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. -- It is absolutely necessary that all men ihould know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may nd above all, be removed, and how the evil and its co n e q uences may be avoided, a that there is scarcely any degree of physiul infirmity or functional derangement to which the time l y aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long se ries of years been engaged in art xtensiveractice in the treatment of the com plaints,e and s the o nly legally qua lifi e d rhysician es who, delicate 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 evfis, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rem arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treament of tese cases, which are too generally confided to the care t of unqualihfied and Ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications. assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virwho tues of their patent nost rums, have inflicted serious injury on have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

THE FRENCH EMPIRE. )1901hy% ke of Northumberland, and the other tender ibg (- 'resignation, which he must recollect he had brought forward. Admiral Parker advised witness, before he sent them in, to see the First Lord, which he did, and, much to his surprise, his grace told him that he had never seen or heard of witness's letter tendering his resignation ; and his grace stated, with much warmth, that had it been given to him he should have at once taken it to Lord Derby. Witness reminded his grace that he had spoken to witness on the subject of that letter : and, on the duke again repeating what he had said, wit ness told his grace that he held in his hands a copy of • that letter, which he was at perfect liberty to make what use of he thought proper. About this time Admiral Parker entered the room, and witness expressed his sur prise at hearing his grace state that he had not seen or heard of the letter tendering his resignation, upon which Admiral Parker reminded the duke that he had put the letter into his grace's hand. The admiral then informed witness that he had been thinking the matter over since he had left him, and that he did not think witness's letter had been brought before the board, and that he had an impression that it had been destroyed. Witness imme diately left the Admiralty and went to Somerset House, taking the letter and copies back with him, and feeling much hurt and annoyed. Witness had not been there long before Captain Milne came to him from Mr. Staf ford with a request that he would not send in copies of the letters. This point witness did not give in, but wrote another letter, stating that, since his letter of the 26th of November, he had been informed that his letter of the 21st of April, 1852, which was delivered to Ad miral Parker, had not been brought before the board, and that witness's letter of the 10th of May, 1852, was ad dressed to the First Lord of the Admiralty, and that he begged to enclose copies, agreeably to their lordships' order of the 26th inst. The letter, with the inclosures, witness took to the Admiralty, and placed in the hands placed hl r i aae :sr had Captain stated an t i ntnwe Milne odt i t witness t n in aa s ßt s d heei acht Record-office, ca i: h;o g ffiaohfpci inclosed emrn:o tntoeuissbe eh believe s c r f ivd i d e ei nbmgy r a. of Mr. Stafford, who, on opening it, expressed his Bur e sthofatthwei witness had a a d s p e romised to withhold them. Witness assured him that themlStafford l t o e r f k u b e r e: and he begged witness to again see Captain Milne on the subject, which he did, and witness was induced to give in the point to that officer's urgent request, who stated that there was no use raking up an affair that had passed over, and from witness feeling that Mr. Stafford had committed himself in having given the answer he did in the House of Commons. • By the Chairman—Have no promotions taken place in the dockyard from the date when Mr. Stafford was first appointed Secretary to the Admiralty, up to the 2d of April, 1852, when he wrote the letter to you that was read in the House of Commons, that you would give cause for dissatisfaction ?—Witness was not aware of any ' • the only thing that struck him at this moment was in the case of a person of lower grade at Woolwich, which was an arrangement made by Mr. Stafford. Knew that the circular of 1849 was cancelled without the knowledge of the board, from being informed of it by Admiral Parker. - What is your interpretation of the term, " without the knowledge of the board?" If it was cancelled without the knowledge of the First Lord, should you consider it was cancelled without theknowledgeof the board ?—There was no official board minute, and I received the information from Admiral Parker. Did not place the letter tendering his resignation in the hands of Admiral Parker condition. ally. Admiral Parker took theletter and said he would lay it before the board, The letter was intended as an actual resignation of office. Subsequently, on the 28th of April, witness received an official communication, inclosing the circular he had mentioned, stating that there was no imputation intended to be cast on witness's characted. The word "imputation" was in witness's letter of resignation, and he concluded that this communica tion was in answer to his letter, and witness, conceiving his character was cleared, thought no further steps were necessary in the matter. Considered his character cleared. Was content to carry on the duties of his office without applying to have the resignation enforced ; and received no letter to say his resignation had been accepted. The gallant officer then enumerated particular cases he designated as unjust promotions, stating that those artisans recommended to the post of leading men by the Superintendent of the dockyard were not promoted to the appointment. He was not aware of any man being promoted who had no vote, or who voted for the opposite political party. Witness then read two letters, which he stated he had Admiral Parker's permission to produce, relative to the existence of the system of unjust promotions in the dockyards. They were both from Admiral Parker to himself. In one the Admiral; speaking of the appointment of the mas ter smith at Portsmouth, said it was really too bad that every thing was to be made subservient to party purposes ; and in the other he urged witne s to write strongly and publicly to the board, that the appointment might remain as a record, adding, " I have been much amazed on the whole subject, and have told the duke that, if I am to be held responsible for the speedy equip ment of the fleet, it is quite impossible for me to do so if the appointments are made without any regard to the public service, but by private favour. So it is ; and it is really quite disgusting." By Sir B. Hall—l understand you to say that he stated to you his political friends were dissatisfied ; that he would cancel the circular, and that upon your point ing out the evils that would result from it Mr. Stafford said, " there was no use in blinking the question—h e was so pressed by the Government he could not help himself." Now, when Mr. Stafford made use of that expression, did he mention the name of any member of the Government who had pressed him to take this course ? - VV • Sir B. Walker—He did. Sir B. Hall—Whose name did he mention ? Sir B. Walker—He mentioned the names of Lord Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir B. Hall—What did he say with reference to thes gentlemen having pressed him ? Sir B. Walker—Perhaps the term "Government " was a wrong term for me to use. His expression was, "It is of no use blinking the question, and I am so pressed by Lord Derby and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer that I cannot help myself." That was again repeated in the presence of Admiral Parker during tho interview-I had on the subject of tendering myresignatiou. Sir B. Hall—Did Mr. Stafford appear to imply that he received orders from those members of the Adminis tration you have.named to adopt the course he had then taken ? . • Sir B. Walker—l came to that conalusion. 4 By the Chairman—How long have yon been Surveyor of the Navy I—Since February, 1848. I wish to know whether in any promotions in the dockyards, since you have been Surveyor of the Navy, political influence has been exercised I—l can most con scientiously say, as far as my knowledge goes, that not one man has ever been advanced for political objects. During Sir Francis Baring's administration he bound every officer down, in every appointment he granted, to the principle that political influence should not in any way interfere with the fulfilment of the public service, and he pledged himself that he would not himself use any political influence. All the officers in the yard at Portsmouth could testify to this. As most men have political feelings one way or other, I would wish to know, Sir Baldwin Walker, whether you have .any strong political predilections I—l have not. I have not been much in England. I went to sea when I was 11 years old, and have constantly been employed in her Majesty's service. I have never given a vote in my life, or taken any part in politics what ever. I looked entirely to the good of the profession, and not to any political advantage whatever. I never turned to the right or left in doing my duty, and have nothing whatever to conceal. Witness then proceeded with a statistical enumeration of the num ber of appointments that had taken place in the dock yards from the date of the circular of the 19th of April, 1852, to November, 1852, and stated his im pression from these returns, that there were 300 more appointments during that period than there were in the preceding year. the ß e y ffi L ci o e r n d c if advance ylleofthozitemnaatniednSali rdFee.kDyaarvdies—deepedrindsieddeorei;:lotheaset arrangements with reference to promotion, andrit pub lie did not take place in reference to merit, the that had been called for, but not to produce the letters of Commons, if documents were called for by the House witness lic service must suffer. ahne3dihsrat.caiStetna.enffvoerrudeksintliaoodwn wished him and it was not objected to by the department, vue ou a f l e w :n : l or y i .. furnisheds uvlsivee ga raking at done r lit I,.duet pn: these 0,1 them. fe s„ when mtctieutrsptet.dabihe _ m l ine i e n ad err it o N r va i s n 's -office, Somerset house, that a t in the course of house, was then called, IhAlmeedialSurve at great length, , t f Id. the n t e l :ye took r o r okb Navy.ee n place contrary to n ha p d a b p e e e r n s . or h d i e s eAu o am ffi me c in i r a tas l op e e x sa p trk e i experience r e t n iwi c ea e f the particulars 'Val- 's evidence.

Yesterday the select committee appointed by the 'louse of Commons to inquire into the circumstances arising out of and connected with the investigation before the recent committee on the Chatham election, and generally into the exercise of the influence and' patron age of the Admiralty in the several Parliamentary boroughs connected with the dockyards, met for the first time. The members of the committee were- -Lord Seymour (chairman), Lord Hothani, Sir Benjamin Hall, Sir Fer guson Davie, and Mr. Beckett. Although not generally expected that the inquiry would be open to the public, the room was crowded during the day by officers and others of the Admiralty and dockyards, and members of the House interested in the inquiry. Sir Baldwin Walker was the first witness called and examined—He deposed that he filled the appointment of surveyor to the Admiralty, and that about the last day of March, 1852, Mr. Grant came to him from Mr. Staf ford, with a request that witness would not submit the names of the persons to be promoted into the vacancies for foremen and inspectors of shipwrights in Devonport Dockyard, as Mr. Stafford's political friends were dis satisfied, and he wished to promote some of their party. Witness felt annoyed at receiving such a message, and requested Mr. Grant to inform Mr. Stafford that wit ness had been upwards of four years in the department, that he had not allowed political notions to influence his submission to the board with respect to promotions in the dockyard, and that he was not going to commence jobbing for Mr. Stafford or anybody else, and witness requested' that such a proposition should never again be named to him. Mr. Eden, of witness's depart- Ment, entered the room during the conversation and heard what witness said to Mr. Grant. On the 3d of April, 1852, witness received the confidential let tPx• referred to by Mr. Stafford in his speech in the House of Commons on the evening of the 19th of April, 1853, to which witness replied on the same day, and on the sth of the same month witness had a warm argument with Mr. Stafford, at the Admiralty, during which he informed witness that, as his political friends were dissatisfied at the manner in which promo tions and entries were made in the dockyards, he had no alternative but to cancel the circular of 1847, and on witness pointing out the evil that would arise from such a step, Mr. Stafford said, " There's no use blinking the question ; I am so pressed by the Government I cannot help myself ;" adding, that he was ready to take all the responsibility on his own shoulders. The interview ended by witness informing Mr. Stafford that if he can celled the order without taking any other step to rectify the evils he stated existed, witness should consider it a personal thing to himself. On the 19th of April, 1852, 'the circular was cancelled by Mr. Stafford without the knowledge of the board, but no notice was sent to the 'surveyor, and he enly knew that (such was the case by the dockyard returns, acknowledging its receipt. On the same day (April 21) witness wrote the letter tendering his resignation, which was addressed to the Secre tary of the Admiralty. Witness read this letter to the Senior Naval Lord, Vice-Admiral Parker, he being immediately connocted with witness's de partment, Captain Milne being present at the time. Admiral Parker took the letter, and told witness he would bring it before the board. On the day follow. ing the delivery of the letter witness was sent for, and Admiral Parker asked him if he would meet Mr. Staf ford in his room, to talk over the subject of the letter, which witness did ; and during that interview the order cancelling the circular of September, 1849. was warmly discussed, and Mr. Stafford again repeated what he had stated as to there being no use " blinking the question." On witness stating to Mr. Stafford that cancelling the circular must lower him in the estimation of the super intendents of the dockyards, Mr. Stafford assured him that such was not his intention, and that ho was ready to write any private letter witness might think proper to show, to which witness replied, " I require no private conversation ; yours has been a public act, and it can only be rectified by a public act," to which Mr. Stafford said he saw no objection to a public letter being sent. Witness having told Mr. Stafford that that was a question for the board to decide then tendered his resignation, and Mr. Stafford then read a draft of a circular he proposed should be brought before the board for their decision, in which some alteration was made. Admiral Parker had wit ness's letter in his hand during the interview, and which contained his resignation. On the 27th of April, 1852, Admiral Parker informed witness that the board had ordered the circular in question to be sent to the dock yards, and he thought witness ought to be satisfied ; to which witness replied, that, although it cleared his cha racter, he did not consider it satisfactory, for the board had confirmed an act the secretary had been guilty of without their knowledge. On the 2d of April, 1852, witness received a letter from the Admiralty, enclosing a copy of the circular to the superintendents of the dock yards, dated 26th of April, 1852, which he considered an answer to the letter he wrote tendering his resigna tion. Witness had no idea that letter had not been officially brought forward, nor was he aware, when he wrote to the board on the 25th November, 1852, that it had been destroyed, for he never authorised its de struction or withdrawal, and considered it had been before the board and was on record. Witness wrote the letter of the 21st April, 1852, in consequence of an im putation having been cast upon his character, which the board circular, of the 25th April, 1852, had cleared up ; but finding that unjust promotions were being made in the dockyards, and that the circular of February, 1847, was not adhered to, he felt that he had a duty to perform to the public, and this induced him to write the letter of May 10, 1852, to the First Lord of the Ad miralty. That letter witness requested Captain Pelham to deliver to the Duke of Northumberland, and witness read a copy of it at the time to the first naval lord, Ad miral Parker, who remarked, " I think you are quite right ; there is nothing like going to the fountain head." Witness never received any reply to that letter. On the 22d November, 1852, witness received a note from Mr. Stafford, enclosing Admiral Berkeley's intended notice to the house respecting the correspondence between the Admiralty and the Surveyor. Mr. Stafford wished to know what it meant, as he was not aware of any ; to which witness replied that he could not at that time find any of the copies, but at his residence, but that he had no doubt his letters were at Whitehall. On the follow ing day, the 23d of November, Mr. Stafford replied to Admiral Berkeley and Sir George Pechell that there was no correspondence with the Surveyor of the Navy on the subject of promotions in the dockyards, and also that the Surveyor of the Navy had not tendered his resigna tion. On the 24,th of November, in consequence of the answer given by the Secretary of the Admiralty in the House of Commons, witness wrote the following letter to the board, calling their attention to the letters of the 21st of April and 10th of May, 1852 :-- " Somerset-house, Nov. 25, 1852. " Sir, —Having observed in the public papers that the Secretary of the Admiralty is r.Torted to have stated in the House of Commons, on the evening of the 23d inst., in reply to certain questions asked by Admiral Berkeley and Sir George Pechell, that there was no correspondence with the Surveyor of the Navy on the subject of the promotions in the dockyards, and also that the Surveyor of the Navy had not tendered his resignation, I desire through you to call the attention of my Lords the Commissioners of the Admiralty to the letters from me bearing date 21st April and 10th May last. 'I have the honour to be, sir, your most obdt. servant, B. W. WALKER "A Stafford, Esq., M.P., Secretary of the Admiralty On witness going to the Admiralty on that day, the 25th, lie was told that Mr. Stafford wished to speak to him, and Mr. Stafford commenced the conversation by naming wit ness's letter, and stating the answer he had given in the House of Commons. Witness then asked him, " What could have induced him to give such answers?" Mr. Staf ford replied, " What would you have me say?" Witness answered, "Anything but what you did say, for you know that I tendered my resignation, and that some days after I wrote a letter to the First Lord of the Admiralty." Mr. Stafford stated that was a private one, pointing at the same time to what appeared to witness to be a copy of his letter to the Duke of Northumberland on Mr. Stafford's table. Witness 'observed that it was a letter from the Surveyor of the Navy to the First Lord, and left the room. On the 27th of November, 1852, witness received the following letter " Admiralty, Nov. 26, 1852. ',uesis witnesl " Surveyor of the Navy. " With reference to your letter of the 25th inst., I am to acquaint you that your letters of the 21st of April and 10th of May, referred to by you, do not appear to haver eached the Record departme nt of this office, and my lords, there fore, request you will transmit copies of those letters.

We have merely to mention an incident relative to a recent article in the Constitution,nel from the pen of M. Granier de Cassagnac. This article, which was ardently anti-republican, and was a reply to some remarks in the Presse in favour of political liberty,. having displeased that journal, it avenged itself by publishing, without giving the date, an elec toral address, in which M. Granier expressed opi-, nions more in harmony with those of the Presse than what the public have of late years seen in the lucubrations of that gentleman. The Constitui tionnel of yesterday, in an article signed Boniface, complains of the Presse for suppressing the date of M. Granier de Cassagnac's address, and states that it was published 23 years ago, when he had just emerged from college, imbued from the nature of the education which he had received with the ideaS of La Jeune France. The Constituttonnei addi that during the whole of the time that M. Granier de Cassagnac has been connected with the public press, he has been a zealous and consistent advo cate of the political principles which he now up holds, and that it is unfair to bring against him opinions expressed before his judgment was formed. The Marquis Fabien Pallavicini has (says the Moniteur) just been raised to the dignity of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour. The Marquis, who was formerly Sardinian Minister at the Court of Bavaria, served France from 1807 to 1814 in quality of Auditor at the Council of State. He was charged with several missions by the Emperor Na poleon 1., to whom he always remained faithful, and only left France after the abdication of Fontaine bleau. On taking leave of his Majesty M. Palla vicini received the Cross of the Reunion, but which ulterior circumstances would not allow him to wear. It is as a souvenir of that distinction so honourably acquired that the Emperor Napoleon. 111. has wished to give to one of the last servants of his dynasty a testimony of his high esteem. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the Empe ror, founded on a report of the Minister of War, granting a concession of 20,000 hectares (about 50,000 acres) of land in the neighbourhood of Setif, province of Constantina, to a company composed of the following proprietors and capitalists at Geneva: —MM. CountFrangois Sautter de Beauregard, Dr. P. E.Lullin, J. M. J. Mirabeau, J.A.Fazy-Alleon, C.H.E. de Traz, H.M. Bouthillier de Beaumont, de Bude, C.A. delioriol, and C.L. Sautter, for the pur pose of founding an agricultural colony. The com pany, among other conditions, is-bound. to form on each 2,000 hectares a village compoSed of 50 stone built houses, for the accommodation of 50 Euro pean agricultural labourers, and to keep in repair all the existing roads which may pass through the said extent of ground, and for the space of 10 years to give up to the State, without indemnity, any ground that may be required for other roads, canals, or works of public utility; The decree con tains other regulations for the division of the land among the colonists, the quantity to be apportioned to each, and the terms on which they are to have possession. All the colonists are to be natives of Switzerland. General Blanco, Inspector-General of the Port of Valparaiso, has been appointed Charge d'Af faires in France of the Republic of Chili. Seventy-nine more political offenders of different departments, who had been condemned to trans portation or surveillance by the mixed commissions, have just received the pardon of the Emperor, on the proposition of the Ministerof Justice. We have mentioned that the parties condemned lately in the affair called Des Correspondents had appealed against the pp d against th a ev e e a r l d e ict given.ist The Procureur Imperial the decision as being too lenient, with the exception of the single case of M. Vallee. In consequence, the whole of the charges will have to be reconsidered. The Courrier du, Havre sark—" We have related, under all reserve, th e r umours which have circu lated in this town on the subject of the measures taken relative to the arrival of the Empereur du Brosil. We are now enabled to give precise in formation on this affair. The truth is, that the French Consul at Rio Janeiro addressed to the Minister of the Interior a dispatch announcing to him that an infernal machine had been embarked on board the Empereur du Bresil, and that it was to be taken to France, with a criminal object, by a German named ICautmann. According to the orders transmitted from the Prefecture of Police, the German and his wife were arrested. But after the explanations given by him, and after an ex amination of the machine, from which it appeared that it was constructed with an innocent object, he and his wife were set at liberty. The indica tions given to our Consul at Rio were true mate rially, but fsalse only as to the bearing of them.

The bills relative to the modifications of the tariff and to the accession of the. Steuerver in to the German Customs Union have been adopted without discussion by the Prussian Chambers. The German Journal of Frankfort contains a letter from Munich of the 24th, which says : "It is again said that Prince Albert, who is to succeed King Otho of Greece, is to marry a Spanish princess. It is added that the King of Bavaria, in returning from Italy, will pass by Spain, and will c ross the south of France. He will be back in Bavaria about the middle of May." The Elector of Hesse arrived at Cassel from Berlin on the 23d. A letter from Berlin of April 25, in the Cologne Gazette, says:—" It is affirmed that the Austrain Government, in its recent note to the Federal Council, has formally declared that it has not re cognised as legal the organisation of Switzerland such as it existed before the Sunderbund." The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies gives an account of the spontaneous rejoicings which took place at Palermo on the Ist, on receiv ing the intelligence that the King had pardoned M. Castiglia, and commuted the punishments of the other three persons convicted of conspiracy against the State. It states that the Via Toledo was illu minated, and that on the following night the house of M. Castiglia, besides being illuminated, was decorated with a gilt canopy, under which stood the busts of the King and Queen, with the follow ing inscription :—" To the sovereign clemency of King Ferdinand 11., the gratitude of an entire city." GERMANY. The Hanoverian Chambers were re-opened on. the 25th. The first was not in number to deliber. ate, but during the sitting the Government rel newed its former propositions to modify several articles of the Constitution. The question relates not only to effectinc , a reform in the composition of the First Chamber, but in modifying consider ably the electoral right for the composition of the second. In 1848 it was decided that all the inha bitants of 24 years of age who paid their direct taxes for one year were electors. At present, the right of voting will be considerably limited. The Berlin Gazette, under date of Vienna, says —" Several journals have announced that the Austrian Government had commenced a prosecu tion for high treason against Mme. Messlengi, sister of Kossuth, and some have even affirmed that she had been condemned to death or to imprisonment. The truth is, that Mme. Messlengi is at this mo ment at Brussels, to which city she proceeded with a passport from the Government. She ha..sConse quently been subjected to no legal proceedings." A delegate from the Pope passed through Vienna a few days since on his way to the Court of St. Petersburg, between which and Rome active nego tiations have for some time been going on, on the subject of the appointment of five bishops for Po land. ' TURKEY. The Trieste Gazette gives the following as the text of the speech delivered by Lord Stratford to the Sultan, on presenting hirer with an autograph letter from Queen Victoria : " By command of my gracious Sovereign, I again return to the Court of your Imperial Majesty. In ordering me to hasten my return in the midst of cir cumstances of high importance, the Queen wished to give you a fresh proof of the lively and friendly interest with which her Majesty and her Govern ment are constantly animated towards every thing which regards the prosperity of the Ottoman Empire, and the person of your Majesty. In spite of some obstacles, I have obeyed the orders of my Sovereign, not only from duty and honour, but with all the plea sure which I can derive from the sincere desire to be able to contribute towards promoting the interests of your Majesty which the Queen has so warmly at heart, and from the hope of continuing to enjoy for the future that kindness which I have so often received at the Court of, your IMperial Majesty. It would be useless for me to add any fresh assurances on my part. The friendly relations which happily subsist between the two Governments repose on bases more solid than trea ties ; they are founded on reciprocal confidence, and on a community of interests. I have besides the hope that the favours granted to English subjects in the country do not require any better guarantee than that which re sults from the policy and the well-known personal senti ments of your Majesty." The Wanderer of Vienna publishes the follow ing from Constantinople :—" M. Jolly, French Consul at Damascus, applied lately to the Pacha to obtain the release of some stone-cutters placed under his protection, and who had been thrown into prison for refusing to work on the military hospital on the conditions which were offered them. On the refusal of the Pacha, the Consul declared that he would put himself in prison, and remain there until his protégés were released. This had the desired effect, and the men were set at liberty." The Ottoman Porte has definitively adopted the Sanitary Convention agreed to in Paris in 1851. Accounts from Jerusalem to the 27th March are published by the Trieste Gazette. On Palm Sunday a sanguinary conflict took place in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre between the Greeks and the Armenians, relative to the lamp ; several were wounded on both sides. The Latins took no part in the fray, and quietly continued their religious I service. On the 24th the members of the English mission for the conversion of the Jews assembled before the Great Synagogue, whilst service was going on in the interior, and began making furious speeches against the Jews and the Talmud. A Jew threw a dead cat at the head of the physician of the mission, and this was the signal for a conflict be tween the Jews and the English, both parties pelt ing one another with stones and mud. Eventually the English had to take to flight, and they were pursued by several hundred furious Jews. The I chief Rabbi protested against these proceedings to the Consuls. Several of the Paris papers publish a private tele graphic despatch from Vienna, which professes to give news from Constantinople of later date than the 15th, and in which it is stated that both the Turkish Government and the Russian Government con ti n ue their preparations for war with great ac tivity. There is reason to believe that no faith is to be put in these private dispatches which reach Paris by way of Vienna. They are forwarded on no authority, and are almost always intended to influence the funds. The news received through official channels declares that the accounts of these preparations have been greatly exaggerated, and that so far frZfin war being imminent, as would be the case if the news received from Vienna were correct, there is every reason to believe that the solution will be a pacific one. By the last accounts from the Levant the French fleet was at the Piraeus. L'7" g4 ' ,2 1 A 2 1 4 4% ,54 6 ~~~ DIV
