EXTENSIVE CIRCULATION OF BASE COIN BY LASCARS. —Omar, a Lascar, who has lately deserted a ship from the East Indies, and become a mendicant and utterer of b ase coin, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with passing several pieces of bad money. Sophia Thomas, an elderly woman, stated that she was a vendor of fruit, and kept a stall in the street. Last night the prisoner came to her and bought a half penny apple, for which he tendered, in payment, a shil ling, which elle discovered to be a counterfeit one, and returned it to him. He expressed his surprise, and said he had received it of a man in the bar of a public-house opposite. She advised hies to go back with it, and he went away and returned in a few minutes, and selected a halfpenny apple for which he tendered a sixpence, which she put into her purse believing it to be a good one, and asked him what he had done with the base shilling, and he said he had got rid of it at the public-house. She said that a good job, and gave him change for the six pence. He then left her and returned to her a third time and bought another halfpenny apple, and tendered in payment a fourpenny piece which she also put in her purse, and gave him 3&d. in change. Some afterwardr, in consequence of what a man said to her, she looked at the sixpence and fourpenny piece, and found both to be counterfeit. She had no silver in her purse at all. Catherine Lawless said the prisoner came to her yes terday morning and purchased a halfpenny apple for which he tendered in payment a fourpenny piece, and 'ka gave him 34d in change. Soon afterwards see dis covered the piece to be counterfeit. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Welham Prince's Mixture E ardrop, Eight ran. THE NEW MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA. (Front the Daily News.) • According to the new reguhtions for the improved mail communication with India mails will be made up in the General Post-office for Bombay, via Marseilleg, on the 2d and 17th of the month ; and for Calcutta, via Marseilles, on the 9th and 25th of the month. The packet will leave Bombay with mails for London, via Marseilles, on the 9th and 24th of the month ; and front Calcutta with mails for London, via Mar seilles, on th e Bth a n d 221 of the month. The Medi terranean packets will leave Alexandria tar Mar seilles with the Indian mails, on the 7th, 11th, 22d, and 27th of the month ; and arrive at Marseilles on the 2d, 12th, 16th, and 27th, and such mails will reach Lon don on the 4th, 14th, 18th, and 29th of the month. The mail will reach Bombay from London, via Marseilles, in 26 days; and Calcutta from London, via Marseilles, in 36 days. Nearly the same periods of time respectively will be occupied in the mails reaching London, via Mar sedles, from Bombay and Calcutta. The new arrange ments will commence at Bombay on the 24th proximo. The Calcutqa packets will touch at IZidgeree on the homeward passage. There can be no doubt that the Trieste steamers will run in connection with each arrival at Alexandria, and according to the present lope, d of those steams, we should get telegrams of Indian news from Trieste on the Ist, 12th, _l6th, and 27th of the Joseph.C;ttenhall, a costermonger, said the prisoner was pa►sing base coin on Sunday night last, and two foreign counterfeit pieces were taken from him an i broken up. Last night he saw the prisoner again, fol lowed him, and gave him in custody. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that several Las cars had been recently charged with passi,,g bad money in the district, and one had lately been committed for trial. month. But as the telegrams of Inuian news, rza Mar seilles, will reach us on the 2tl, 12th, 16,h, and 27th, tue former telegrams will often be superseded unless the speed of the Trieste boats is improved. When the telegraphic como.unication between Cal- Inspector Cr&fin, of the K division, said that many La:.csrs had been charged at nearly every police court in the metropolis, and they were dismissed by the magi strates, who believed they were imposed upon, or made the tools of others. cotta, Madras, and Bombay, is uninterrupted, we shah have telegraphic news from all parts of India by every arrival at Marseilles, that is tour times a month—viz., on the 2d, 12th, 16th, and 27th of the month, as before stated. This news will be alternately 24 and 34 days of 1. The only additional work which will devolve on the Peninsular and Oriental Compa. y in consequence of this modification of their contract, will be the running of a steamer to and from Alexandria and Mar seilles, via Malta four times a month instead of tw ice, and the calling at Kidgeree from Calcutta. Accord in,!; to the old contract the packets left Bombay on the 3 1 and 17th of the month, and Calcutta on the 10th and 24th of the month. It was arranged for the 31 and 24th boats to arrive together at Satz, and for the 10th aid 17th boats to arrive that port also at the seine time. Calcutta being nearly 2,000 miles farther from Satz khan Bombay, this difference of time in leaving the two Indian ports was absolutely necessary in order to time the two packets together at Suez. But to carry out the Mr. Yardley—l am of a different opinion. The Lag care know what they are about. They display more acuteness than appears. Let the prisoner be remanded until Tuesday. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND DUBLIN. DUBLIN, THURSDAY. In the report re id yeste, day at the half-yearly meeting of the City of Dublin Steampacket Com pany the following pass ages occur in reference the promised improveinent in the pa•s iga and pas senger communication het ween Loudon and Dublin via Holyhead : " There are to be two mails daily—one in the morn- ing, and one in the evening—in each direction ; the morning departure from London to be half-past seven, and from Kingstown seven o'clock ; the night departure from London half-past eight, and from Kingstown half oast seven. Toe entire distance to be accomplished in 11 hours as a maximum, subject to the penalty of 344. for each minute's delay ; but such penalty not to be incurred for fogs or other causes certified as be yond the control of the companies. Four large packets, at least 300 feet in length, and with 600 horses power each, to be built for the service. Special express trains for the Irish mails and passenger traffic to run between Holyhead and London in connection with these packets. The contract to be for 14 years from its commencement, which is to take place within two years, subject to a power of Government of putting an end to it after the first five years, if they have reason to be dissatisfied with the manner in which it is generally performed, in which ease they will purchase the ships at cost price. The revenue of the new service, including passenger receipts, will commence at 120,0001. a-year, and half of the increase of the future traffic to belong to the company ; the other half to go in reduction of the contract payment. "The directors are aware of but two drawbacks to the satisfaction which the announcement of the improved service will produce in the public mind. The first is the very early hour which has been appointed by the Post-office, solely with reference to the exigencies of that department, for the morning departures from Kingstown and from London. The board of the London and North-Western Company were so much impressed with the desire to provide for the con venience of the travelling public that they have engaged to reduce their charge for running the special trains 10,0001. annually, provided the times of the morn ing departure be made an hour later—that is eight o'clock from Kingstown, instead of 7, and half-past 8 tii from London, instei of 7. This_very large reduction, new arrangements and bring the Bombay and Calcutta packets to Suez at different times, it is necessary to de spatch the packets from the two Indian ports almost at the came time. Thus, instead of leaving Bombay or Calcutta on the 3d, 10th, 17th, and 24th of the month, as has hitherto been the case, by which a week inter venes conveniently between each departure, the packets will for the future have to leave Bom bay or Calcutta on the Bth, 9t,h, 22d, avid 24. h of the month, as has been before observed. Now, these are certainly not such convenient times for departure from the Indian ports as the former ones, especially considering that Calcutta ca❑ be united by telegraph to Bombay ; but there is no help for it. A disadvantage of the old plan was that the packets, owing to the length of the sea route, the differ ence in the speed of the steamers, and casualties, scarcely ever arrived at Suez together ; and then one mail was kept waiting for the other at Alexandria. The advantage of the new plan is that as soon as a mail arrives at Alexandria, no matter whether it is from Bombay or Calcutta, it will be sent off immediately to Mar seille,. It will he seen from the above statement that there will be only two mail packets a mouth to and from Suez and Bombay ; and two to and from Suez and Cal cutta the same as at present. There will also be only two communications a month for the present to and from Southampton and Alexandria, and to and from Point de Galls and Hong Kong. The following are the mail route tablas, according to the new arrangements, viz.: may be hoped, will induce the Poet-office auch,ritiee, o entertain more favourably the desire for such a change. " The second ma ter, ac caueitn some degree of dis appointment, was the announcement in the House of Commons that the new service would net commence fur two years. The directors of the company have commu nicated to Government that they will be quite prepared with the new vessels early in the summer of 1859, so that if the temporary landing pier at Holyhead is ready by that time for the use the arrangements may then be commenced ; and they have further communicated that iu the meantime some very consider able measures of improvement for the accommodation of the public could be adopted pending the completion of arrangements for the new service. The directors' report concludes by recommending the paymant of a dividend of 24 per cent, free of income-tax out of the profits of the half-year, after the allocation of 1 per cent. on the paid up capital, as required by the Company's Act of Par liament, and which has been invested in Government I stock." COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. At a court yesterday, on the motion of Mr. Deputy Aitchison, thanks were given to the late Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Fin n i s , f or t h e per f orman ce of his office during the year, a n d espec i a ll y " f or his great atten tion to the comforts of the poor, in alleviating their wants and visiting the several establish ments for their reception ; for his desire to ad vance civilisation in promoting the communication with the interior of Africa; for his dignified mainten ance of the ancient hospitality at the Mansion-house; for his kind and benevolent ass i s t a nce to tee charitable in stitutions of thi s C i ty ; f or or i g inating the Indian Relief Fund for alleviating the necessities eif the sufferers by the murderous revolt of the Sepoys ; and for his im partiality, urbanity, and intelligence whilst presiding over the deliberations of this court. _ A. communication from - the Court of Aldermen was re ceived, with a note from the Home Secretary, urging the corporation to proceed with the erection of a Lunatic Asylum for the pauper lunatics of the parishes in the City of London ; upon which Deputy Harrison moved that it be referred to the finance committee, to report on the probable cost, and to the funds of which this should be defrayed.—Mr. H. L. Taylor, as an amendment, moved "That this court is of opinion that the duty of provid ing for the pauper lunatics is cast by the act of parlia ment upon visiting justices, and that they ought to proceed to raise the funds in the manner pointed out by the act by means of a county rate."—Mr. Ander ton seconded. The amendment, alter some discussion, was negatived by a large majority.—Mr. Blake moved as a second amendment the addition of the following words to the motion, " And report their opinion as to the expediency of erecting an asylum for the luna tics of this city, or whether it would be more advan tageous to provide otherwise for them, and in the event of their deeming it indispensable that an asylum should be erected, to consider and report the probable cost, and the source from which the necessary funds should be raised." A discussion ensued, at the end of which the amendment was lost, and the original motion was carried. A report was presented from the committee upon the vacant piece of ground adjoining St. Paul's Cathedral, to the effect that as the Metropolitan Board of Works had declined to contribute auy gum in aid of the pro posed enlargement of the open space, they recommended the corporation to give notices for disposing of the ground. Alderman Rose strongly objected to any build• inge upon this piece of land, whic:i should be left open for the view it afforded of the architectural beauties of the cathedral. The court adjourned without passing any resolution upon it. How THE WIOTOWN BURGHS WERE REPRESENTED A QUARTER OF A CENTURY A 00.—On Friday last the friends and political admirers of Sir John M'Taggart, late M.P. for the Wigtowre Burghs, entertained him at dinner at Stranraer, and also presented him with a piece of plate. Vi-count Dalrymple was in the chair. In returning thanks, Sir J. M`Taggart said—Perhaps you will allow me to say one word in regard to the st a t e of this country when I came forward in 1832. Stranraer had net seen its member for half a century, and I don't believe the member for the county had be en seen i n t hi s district for the same period of time . A s a proof of the state of things then existing in the country, we were beaten in the cooteA in 1832. On looking around me I see, alai, very few of those wh e then s u p porte d me, but still I observe several who signed the requ i s i t i on to me in th at year. It was in 1834 s and 1835 that I was first returned for these burghs, and to show you how they were represented before that time, I will tell yflu what took place between myself and an Irish gentleman—a Mr. Lyndon Evelyn, who met me in Loudon a few days after my return. Be said he was very glad to see that I bad been returned for the Strati- raer Burghs, and then asked , "Pray, in what part of Scotland are tbey 1" "In the south-Kest," I sa id, "Oh yes," he returned, "in the south-west of Scotland. The fact is, I represented these burghs once myself, but I never knew in what part of Scotland they were. I paid 2,5001. to be elected, but I did not know in what part of Scotland my seat lay. (Loud laughter.) We (Scotsman) are glad to learn th a t a t t h e i nstance of the Architectural Institute of Scotland, her Majesty's Board of Works have agreed to for ward for exhibition in Edinburgh the prize designs for the new government offices in London, which were lately exhibited in West , minster Hall. Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Wm. Bake r , th e coroner for of Middlesex, held an i nquest at ea , d. Bromley, on v i ew the tb e ePoplar aster divisio n n Hosp i ta l, East of the body of Henry Stacey, aged 27 years, one of the unfortunate men who received such fearful injuries at the late attempted launch of the Great Eastern steamship Leviathan, at Millwall, on the afternoon of the 3d lust. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. OUTWARD INDIA MAILS. BOMBAY DESPATCH.—Leaves London on the 2d and 17th of the month.

For all kinds we experienced a heavy demand, and the rate declined in the quotations was with difficulty supported. In some instances prices were nomi nal. The imports of foreign wheat are 10,130 quarters. All descriptions were dull in the extreme, and to have forced sales, lower rates must have been submitted to. In float ing cargoes nothing was doing.

LITERATURE. North. America ; Its Agriculture and Climate. By Robert Russell. Adam and Chides Black, Edinburgh. This is a very valuable and laborious work, dif fering in many respects from the numerous works of travel that are constantly issuing from the press. The record of the author's experiences is less de voted to the people and cities than to the soil on which the cities are built, and the variations by which the inhabitants are affected. It is partly of a scien tific nature, describing and exemplifying the aeri cultural and meteorological peculiarities of North America. The qualities of the soil, its different productions, the mode in which they are raised, and the different necessaries for their cultivation are treated of with care and ability. His researches extended through Canada, the United States, and the Island of Cuba. In the latter portion of the volume he gives the substance of a course of lec tures he delivered in the Smithsonian Ins'itution, on the climate of North America. It must not be supposed, however, that the author confines himself to agricultural statistics and meteoro logical tables ; on the contrary, though the soil and its productions are his chief topic, he interpolates various anecdotes, and incidents which occurred to him in his journey, that serve to lighten the volume, and prevent the more scientific part from becoming tedious. On his firAt lauding in America, he was struck with the small stature and pale faces of the and women. This he attributes to tie great extremes of temperature in the United States. Of the progress of education in the States he :Teaks most favourably. "It is very difficult to draw Hues of d:atinetiun be tween ela.ses of gocirty in New England._ At the hotel I had some conversation with a person who had all the appearance and manners of a gentleman, but who was no other than a working niechatiic. He had driven down his wife and family from a village 13 miles iilsnd to have a day's recreation at Nahant. This way of spending a little spare money raises the moral and social condition of those who labour with their hands, and maintains a sense of self-respect. The general diffusion of education among all classes in New England has had the effrct of raising them in a great ineasere beyond the temptation of indulging in drinking habits, which are more common where ignorance prevail'', especially when combined with a high rate of wa res. A Sheffield manufacturer, carrying on business both in England and the Urited Stases, informed me that in the majority of cases the ' high wages which he paid to his workmen in Britain did not improve their condition, as ro much was squan dered tor spirits, whereas the educated mechanics of New England were iu general a sober and industrious class of 'neat "After travelling for some time in Massachusetts, one is impressed with the thorough diffusion of educa tion among all classes, and with the universal politeness mingled with independence which prevails. Although American phrases are very cr.mmon in ordinary conversation, yet in all the larger tow n s of thi s St a t e the English language is spoken with great purity. The logitdature is making efforts to give a free educa tion to every one who chooses to accept of it. Boston and its environs contain a population of about 300,000, and in 1853 they assessed themselves to the amount of 60,0001. tor educational purposes. The Maine Liquor Law was still nominally in force when he was in that state, though in many parts in abeyance. In some towns it was necessary to go into the cellar to obtain liquor, but in others people partook of it at all hours, and the landlord laughed openly at the legal prohibition. The informers, having drawn much ill-will on themselves, have ceased their labours, and the law remains in a state of uncertainty which our author considers injurious in. its tendency. But how, he asks, could any other result be expected, when one fourth of the population were opposed to the law and continually breaking it. Nevertheless, he des cribes the New Englanders as very temperate people, wisely attributing their moderation to the temperate habits of the educated classes, rather than to an arbitrary law which provokes opposition. The soil and climate of this state are pezuliagy favourable to the growth of timber. Fire destroys wide tracts of the forest almost every year yet the soil is never bare. H e was s h own a spo t which had been destroyed by fire the previous year, which was occupied with thriving birch saplings. Every little crevice in the rocks affords hold for the roots of some forest tree, and, how e v er roc ky bare it is always densely covered with timber, nu less very precipiroui. The following desciiption of oak-openings in Michigan is interesting. It will be remembered these curious spots gave the name to.. one of Cooper's popular novels. " After bidding adieu to Mr. Holmes, to whom I feel myself under great obligations for his attention, I left n, xt afternoon by railway for Chicago on Lokke Michigan, a distance of 140 toilet , . The line rues through a long stretch of "oak-openings," which were the finest speci mens of this peculiar kind of forest growth that I saw ; and s hat made them more interestit,g was the circum . . . . . stance of their being Ramat untouched by the axe of the backwoodsman. Where oak-openings occur, the soil is dry and gravelly, and the surface undulating—a feature which seems common to most of the gravels in Europe and America. The trees are thinly distributed over the surface, and the distance at a Inch they grow from each other seemed so regular, that one might nave supposed a skilful forester had been employed to plant them. The crooked trunks are usually about afo ,t and a half in diatnetkr, and bare from 20 to 25 fee., from the ground • after that they a re f or k e d, b u t, h aving no great abundance of branches, have altogether a guarl-d appearance. The soil seems to be too dry and gravelly to support a denser growth ; for on the ridges they were from 30 to 40 yards apart, while in the hollows, where the land was moister, the trees were more thickly planted. The contrast very striking between the densely-wooded rands and gravels of New England, which are the very types of sterility, and the stunted growth of the trees on the better soils of the oak-openiegs. The climate of the Western States is not nearly so propitious to the growth of tress as that of the Atlantic sea-board, where the rains at certain seasons of the year are more abundant. " Oali-openingP, I believe, do not occur much farther to the eastward than Paris in Upper Canada, where the soil is very similar to that of the oak-openings of Michi gan. It is generally supposed that the prairies and oak openings are the result of the Indians formerly having fired the country every year for hunting grounds. The blackened mould of the prairies is no doubt partly owing ,o the charred vegetable matter from fires which EC) frequently ran over them. But in the oak-openings there is little evidence of fire being concerned in their formation, for the colour of the vegetable mould is of the same hazel tinge which prevails in the oak-forests of Ohio." A. chapter on rice culture gives some curious and useful statistics. Rice, it appears, is considered an article of luxury, and is far higher i❑ price than Indian corn. The demand far exceeds the supply, as the land capable of raising it with advantige is comparatively limited. The slaves on rice and cot ton plantations are supplied with Indian corn in its stead. Large capitals are required for its cultiva tion on the tidal swamps, but the rice grounds are more valuable than any other crop. One pecu liarity of the rice crop is the following : " The rice plant adapts itself in a most wonderful manner to the most opposite conditions in respect to moisture. There is no cultivated plant that bears any resemblance to it. The same variety which grows on the upland cotton-soils and en the dry pine -barrens, grows in the tide-swamps, where the land is laid under water for weeks at a tine ; and even in the lower part of the delta of the Mississippi, where the fields are under water from the time of sowing to that of reaping. In his accounts of the inhabitants and social state of Cuba, the author gives some melancholy details of the extent to which the slave trade is carried on. " Some planters will tell you that the slave trade is now abolished ; but when one visits the sugar plantations he sees that the great maj , )rity of the men have been dragged from Africa." The subjoined extract gives some idea of the labour which is exacted from them at the crushing season. " The season for crushing sugar-cane in Cuba lasts for six months at least ; and from all I heard and saw, I am fully persuaded that the negroes are much over-tasked at this time on almost all the sugar planta ions. Until I visited the sugar fields and factories, I had no conception that such severe and long-continued exer tion could possibly be endured by any race of men. The common practice on all the estates which I visited, was that the able-bodied negroes begin the day's work at half-past four a.m., and at ten o'clock have an hour for breakfast. Then re suming work go on till sunset, when they get dinner and another hour's rest, alter which they work on in unremitting toil till midnight, thus working 18 hours out of the 24, and with only four hours for sleep. The system is so thoroughly organised, that ne one can relax his efforts without being liable to punishment. On the majority of the estates there is one "driver," or under overseer, for every ten able-bodied slaves. The slaves that take in the cane in waggons from the fields to the sugar-house, usually do so in companies of ten, over whom a Creole "driver" is set, mounted on horseback, with a whip in his band and cutlass by his side. 1 was told by one planter, who wa s working his negroes on the Sunday, that a holiday was usnallyallowe once a week; but I found others , well acquainted with the system, who gave zee a very different account of matters. On one large estate which I visited, the practice was that, so long as the machinery held good, there was n o stopping, Sunday or Sat urda y , during the crashing season. "I well remember seeing twenty negro men pounding sugar, with short hand mallets, in large wooden troughs drawn out from below a shed. They had no other clothing than short trousers, and their bare heads and backs were exposed to the sun. There were two drivers set over them, the ono a creole and the other a negro. Both had whips in their ha n d s , an d t h e creole Cad a cutlass by his aide. Tho negroes were not suffered to relax their efforts for a m omen t, an d , h ar d as they were working, still I pitied the negro driver almost as much. The poor wretch was constantly crying out to the others to work harder ; but this was done as much apparently for the purpose of k oe pi og up a cer t a i n amoun t o f excitement to prevent himself from falling asleep as to keep the others at their task ; for he seemed to be I completely tortured with sleep, as he leaned against the trough. I found parallel Ecenes enacted in the sugar-houses. In one an old negro, wbo was attending to the boiling pans, was constantly calling out to the negro who was throwin g in the refuse of th e cane or begasse, 'no fire ,' "no bra at all.' This was also done in order to keep up a certain amount of excitement, and to relieve the monotony of his work. I was assured br a workicg engineer that fatal accidents, arising from the negroes being overcome with sleep and falling into the boiling juice, were not uncommon. " Women, girls, and boys, are all tasked beyond their strength. The gangs that are seen about the sugar houses are most emaciated creatures. At night they ar e usually found chanting some song to beguile the weary hours. The children do a little hers ; for all who seemed able to run were sent out under the charge of an aged matron to gather up the dried cans that bad been crushed, and to put it into heaps, or some other descrip tion of light work is as!igred to them. Little improvement can be hoped for in the phy sical condition of the negroes, says the author, until the African slave trade is abolished, as, being un able to import fresh slimes, the planters arc forced to devote more care to the condition of the resident negroes and their families. As Spain has received 400,0001. as compensation for her loss in entering on a treaty to suppress the slave trade, it is scaoely too much to expect that some attention may be directed to this matter. The meteorological observaions at the end are very instructive, and highly interesting to those familiar with the study. Numerous diagrams illustrate the course and different degrees of hurricanes, trade winds, &c. Toe following obssrv a t oils were made by the author during the first thunderstorm he witnessed : "I❑ the 6r,t thundet-storm that I encountered in the United States, I was rather struck with the phenomenon of the clouds drifting in the upper current from the we4t while the wied blew from the south. It occurred at Saratoga on the 6th of September, 1854. At aunties the temperature was 70 deg. with a dew point of 69 deg. ; the thermometer at 2 p.m. reached 96 deg. Notwithstanding the great heat, the wind blew strongly from south by west, but thunder-clouds floated in the upper current from the north of west. Thunder with much rain occurred at night, and next day the wind changed to the north of west, and the sky became beautifully transparent, with the thermometer at 82 deg. at 2 p.m. "The cause of this peculiar action of the thunder clouds floating at a higher elevation, at right angles to the warm southerly wind, is easily explained. So long as the wind is west or north-west in summer, the sky retains its transparency ; but when it changes to a southerly quarter, it does not blow more than a day or two before clouds begin to form. The clouds do not often float in the south wind, but almost always in that upper current which prevails so constantly from the west. This clearly shows that the upper current rubs off a portion of the moist and hot wind from the Gulf of Mexico, and forms clouds, for they only appear after the southerly wind blOws for some time, and these clouds reveal the existence of the upper current. This action of the upper current robbing the lower is con stantly taking place both in summer and in winter, when clouds form and drift in the upper current." The reader will perceive that it is a work devoted to the practical and scientific, containing much in formation, conveyed without pedantry, and likely to be of great value to those engaged in the study of the sciences of which it treats. All who are de sirous of comparing the qualities of different cli mates, and of ascertaining the manner in which the laws of nature are affected by a change of hemis phere, should consult this able and carefully-written volume. A Month in the Forests of France. By the Hon . Grantley F. Berkeley. Longman. There have been numerous records of a sports man's adventures and experience* in his own* coun try, but this volume presents some novelty to the reader in conducting him to the interior of France and in substituting the wolf and the boar for the less formidable objects of British sport. Those of similar tastes will find much to interest them in this work, while the general reader will probably find some entertainment in its pages. The author ac companied by horse, hounds, and gun, went to en joy a month's sporting with a friend in his chateau near Nevers. He met with the usual adventure of travellers oa his route, winding up with a fracas with a cabman and a constable at Havre on his re turn. The great difficulty he found in the prise cution of his sport was tue deficiency of hounds. He represents them as ill-trained and improperly managed, and it appears that when not required for sport they are quite neglected, and the author expresses his surprise, after czmidering the warmth iof the 6ummer in France that men and dogs escaped hydrophobia. Considering the harsh rules in France respecting dogs in hot weather, it would be at least more consistent if more care were taken to prevent real danger. The author speaks highly of the capab , lities of French sportsmen, and laments they ould be so ill supplie i with the ne c essaries of the chase. He tells us that he has prepared a work for tueir instruction, which if they are as wil ling to learn as he is to teach will no doubt afford much information. Men, of the Time. _.bent and Co. This is a new edition of this useful and compen dious work, which contains nearly 900 pages of close print. Even now, however, it cannot be called quite complete, and it seems to have missed some names and to have given lesser ones in undue prominence. It is, however, a very arduous task to compile such a volume ; and as new editions are promised from time to time, and the publisher declares himself ready to avail himself of any cor rections or information that may be accorded him, there is every reason to anticipate a still greater improvement. It is most extended iu its plan, and takes i❑ every class that can claim any degree of distinction. Such a work is constantly wanted, and the demand for it wdl no doubt keep pace with its increasing volume. Punch's Pocket Book for 1858. Punch Office.

The Moniteur l' Armee, publishes the following statistical returns i elative to the army, which are not without interest : "From the accession of Louis XVI. on the 10th May, 1774, to the 10th August, 1792, 19 general officers were raised to the dignity of marshal of France. There were also made 254 lieutenant generals and 948 major-generals. In consequence of the re-organisation of the army in 1791, 328 superior officers retired with the rank of major general. The Republican government, from 1792 to 1799, named 167 generals of division, and 887 generals of brigade, exclusively of 78 general offi cers named by the representatives of the people with the armies, but whose nominations were not c ;nfirmed. Under the Consulate, there were 57 promotions to the rank of general of division, and, 147 to that of general of brigade. Under the Em pire, 25 tearsnals, 245 generals of division, and 679 generals of brigade were nominated. During the first Restoration, Louis XVIII. named 207 lieutenant-generals, of only 117 had only hono rary rank, and 567 major-generels, 127 of whom were honorary. In the Hundred Days, the Emperor nominated one marshal of France (Count de Grouchy), 19 lieutenant-generals, and 42 major-gezer ile. These prenotions were can celled on the return of Louis XVIII. He, how ever, confirmed in their rank 26 lieutenant generals, and 28 major-generals, nominated during the first Restoration, and while at Goent, the Kind named 5 lieutenant g•-nerals and 19 ma jor-generals. Louis XVIII., from 1815 to 1824, named 6 marshals of France, 167 Lieutenant-ge nerals (105 honorary), and 480 major-generals (269 honorary). Charles X. nominated 3 marshals of France, 55 lieutenant-generals (42 honorary), and 166 major-generals (142 honorary). Also, 31 colonels of the royal guard, or of the military household of the King, received the rank of major general in the early part of 1830. From that pe riod no more honorary rank was conferred. Un der Louis Philippe, 11 marshals o f F rance was nominated,including the confirmation at the pro motion of Marshal de Grouchy ; 124 lieutenant generals, 6 of whom bad been nominated during the Hundred Days, and 4 under the Restoration. with honorary rank ; and 370 major-generals, 15 of whom had before received th e honorary rank. The Republic of 1848 made, from the 24th Feb ruary to the 20th De c ., 32 generals of division, and 50 of b r i ga d e ; 1 general of division and 3 of brigade by the Provisional Government ; 13 and 19 by the Executive Commission ; and 18 and 28 by the Government of General Cavaignac. Under the Presidency of Prince Louis there were named 4 marshals of France, 41 generals of division, and 118 of brigade. From the re-establishment of the Em pire to the end of 1856, there have been made marshals of France, 69 generals of division, and 145 generals of brigade."
