The health of the Pope has been wonderfully re-
stored. For some days past he has been able to leave his
bed for several hours each day and receive visitors, sitting
on his chair in his private library. On Saturday, seated in

and delivered a discourse to the heads of chapters and
colleges.

the Liver."— Vanity Fair.

The preparations for the Dutch North Polar Expe-
dition are being actively continued, as the expedition is to
sail in May next. The first and principal halt will be made
at Spitzbergen. The erection and fitting up of a station for
meteorological observations is reserved for a future expedi-
tion the present one, however, is to select the place best
adapted for a station of this nature. 10,000 florins are still
wanting to cover the expenses of the expedition.—Nature.

fraction of the 16.000 prisoners set free on the Ist January,
1877, on the occasion of the proclamation of the Imperial
title, has again relapsed into crime, and only one or two
cases have been brought to notice in which persons so re-
leased have been again arrested on criminal charges. This
fact the Government of India consider is very creditable to
the judgment with which the selections fur release were
made.—Times of India.

has fallen—a very rare occurrence in that part of Turkestan
—and an immense number of people have been frozen to

judged by the number of small-pox cases under hospital
treatment, the prevalence of the epidemic in London con-

had declined to 137, has since steadily increased to 415, 468,
505, and 542 t the end of the last four weeks; 146 new cases
were admitted during last week, against 129 and 126 in the
two preceding weeks. The Highgate Hospital contained 56

bers had steadily increased from 26 to 55.
The French military authorities are brought to bay
by a Quaker. Being summoned to join the flag, he refused,
and had to be seized by force. He stood for a whole day in
his shirt rather than mount his uniform. He will not under-
stand the drill, and his musket has to be tied to his body.
If he touches it by accident he recoils as from a snake.
Minor punishments, threats, and entreaties are of no avail,
and he can only be brought before a council of war after six
months' service.

In Glasgow there are at present a large number of
people idle, on account of the dulness of trade. Six hun-

meeting of the Town Council that the death.rate for Glasgow
last week was 25 per thousand, and that there were still 72
cases of enteric fever among persons known to have been
supplied with infected milk.

On Sunday afternoon a fire broke out in the Free
St. Andrew Church at Dundee. The congregation had
assembled for afternoon service, and in the middle of the
