then they have been replaced by other* cane l. or cagey'

since 1860 are of the latter class with the exception of
1,803 which carry aloe tons. The total wagon stock of
the company on the 31st May last was 20,M. Shying
to the introduction of improved maellinerg end other
neanufactineng facilities, longer, stronger, and such
more durable vehicles, supplied with serviceable swing
buffers, can now be constructed at a comparatively
cheaper rate than the lighter and frailer ones formerly
in use. The "life" of a wagon, undergoing ordinary
wear and tear, may be estimated at about 20 years. a
should, however, be borne in mind, that all wagons, the
fashion of which is approved, can be maintained ha
working efficiency for any indefinite period by timely
repairs and the renewal of defective parts ; and the

THE VALUE OF FRENCH Ponvray.—Aocording to
the last official statistics of agricultural produes, which,
however, only come down to the year 1852, the annual
value of the poultry reared in Fracas was 43,380,000 f.,
and of eggs, feather., em.,44,384,000f., making together
about 88,000,000 f. The gross tote! of agricultural
produce was 2,800 millions of franca, and that of
poultry, therefore, about one-thirtieth of the whole.
are can be no doubt that the quantity of poultry
reared has greatly increased sines the above date, for
the exports to England and the consumption in Paris
are now much greater. In 1852, the game and poultry
consumed in Paris amounted to 14 millions of (ranee,
whereas in 1862 the value was 20,330,000 f., game
forming about one-sixth in both ones. In 1852, the
value was 12,161,000 f., though it must be remembered
that, in the interval, of the eggs consumed in Paris was
6,150,000 f. ; in 1882 it was about 300,000 inhabitants
were added to Paris by the annexation of the surround.
log communes. The consumption of eggs has therefore
nearly doubled, while that of game and poultry has in-
*reined 50 per cent.

TEE ReSISTANCE SCANDAL—The Admiralty ordered
• severe public reprimand to be administered to the
chaplain of her Majesty's ship Resistance, for declining
to undertake the direction and supervision of the
punitive attendance of a midshipman for three months
at Divine service; and also a public compliment to be
paid to the captain and admiral for their forbearanee in
only confining the rev, gentleman to the ship for tour
days and a half, as • punishment for his eontareacy.
Their lordship' have, however, issued a "private and
confidential" official letter to the several captain
employed, directing them not to expect any duty of
an executive character from the chaplain, who must be
regarded as the friend and adviser of all on board ; and
that misbehaviour at church must not be punished by
compulsory additional attendance at Divine services.
Thus, whilst Mr. Gutteres has been samitleed at the
shrine of discipline in a public manner, the Justin of
his very temperate remonstrance is "privately and
confidentially" acknowledged in • communication to the
several captains; and we may hope that other
chaplains will receive more consideration.—Waderia

INTERNE/11SO STATE DOCIIMENTPL—Sir John Romilly,
at the recommendation of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, has forwarded to the ordnance survey depart-
ment in Southampton a collection of national documents,
to be copied by the photosinoographio process. This
collection contains the most interesting series of
charters, treaties, and letters which it was possible to
select out of the Record Office. They illnstrate the
history of the country from the commencement of the
reign of William the Conqueror to the end of the reign
of Queen Anne, all of which will be publiated In
chronological order with translations, so that WO shall
have in this collection an illustration of the gradual
change in the language, and in the mode of writing
during the last 800 years. The seals that are attached
to some of the document. are also of great interest;
that which is attached to the treaty of pone between
Henry the Eighth of England and Francis the First of
France is in gold, upwards of four inches in diameter,
and exquisitely carved in relief by Benvenuto Gelid.
The gold seal attached to the patent of knighthood
conferred on Prince Edward by the King of Csatile is
also of great interest, and there is the gold seal
attached to the Pope's Bull eonferring the title of
Defender of the Faith on Beery VIII Amongst the
documents is an original copy of Magna Charts.—

A CHRISTMAS MIETIIIO Or DEAF AND D 91113 —On

LOST IN THE SNOW.—R correspondent, writing on
Siinday from Corgarff, Strathdou, Aberdeenshire, sends
to a Glasgow paper the following particulars of the re-
markable preeervation from death from exposure on
the hills in his neighbourhood, recently, of • vagrant
woman, 73 years of age, named Isabella Burton or
Campbell, a native of Manchester, but who resided for
a long time in Glasgow. She left Inohmore, in the
parish of Corgarff, about two o'clock in the afternoon of
Wednesday, the 14th December, with the view of pro-
ceeding to the next place, Laggoaulds, some three miles
distant, carrying with her two or three bundles. It
appears, from what transpired afterward., that she bad

The following is an extract from the Second &Minn
(page 188) of the Translation of the Pharmacopeia of
the Royal College of Physicians, of London, by Dr. G.
F. Collier, published by Longman and Co. :—" It is no
small defect in this compilation (speaking of the
Pharmaoopaiia) that we have no purgative maim but
what oontains aloes; yet we know that hcemorrhoidal
persons cannot bear aloes, exoept it be in the form of
COCKLE'S PILLS, which chiefly consists of sloes,
scammony, and colocyntb, which I think are formed
into • sort of compound extract, the acridity of which
is obviated, I suspect, by an alkaline process, and by a
fourth ingredient (unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic
nature. I think no better and no wares of it for its
being a patent medicine. I look at it as an Anita of
commerce and domestic convenience, and do not Wal-
let* to say it is the best made pill in the kingdom; a
muscular purge, s mucous purge, and • hy
purge combined, and their effects properly oontrolled by
• diligent and oorrigent. That it does not commonly
produce hcemorrhoids, like most aloetio pills, I attribute
to It. being thoroughly soluble, so that no undissolved
articles adhere to the mucous membrane.
