Nothing can be more curious than this collection of
proofs of forgetfulnews or negligence, oomprising fire-
arms, pipea, shoes, chignon., perfumes, jewellery,
hardware, bets, bonnets, caps, shawls, mantle., l‘c. An
immense number of travelling bags bad been left behind,
and the book, forgotten would form a large library;
there is also an enormous quantity of wines, liquors,
and divers kind, of merchandise.

Poirrsaw on Vttoctratima— In reply to Kr. Hambro,
K. P., for Weymouth, as to whether, in certain parts of
Wales, the Post.oftee mails were being ecoveysd on
velocipedes, instead of on horses, and if the change had
been found to add to the efficiency end economy of the
service. The Marquis of Martini/ton said that no such
change as that alluded to had been made. The exoeri.
meat bad been tried, or would shortly be tried, of allow.
leg rural post merengers tbe um of velocipedes—
(laughter)—but as at present the osc of riding or driving
upon bieyeles bad not formed a part of the examination
of civil service officors—llaughter)—the use of theme
machines must be optional.

Heumwat'S Pi LLS—ftroeace kind INDIOnaTION. —The
stomach furnishes the material sustenance of every
organ. lfdieo;dered, the whole holy languishes ; but
however severely affected, it, tone and vigour may
always be restored by a course of these irresistible Pills.
Biliousness, indigestion, liver complaints, arid .11 dis-
orders of the stomach eau easily be cured by the use of
Holloway's Pala Thousands attest this assertion, mid
no sufferer that has ever tried them will deny their
extreme efficacy. In every case of stomach disease,
from the mildest case dyspepsia to the horrifying
saucier, from the mews o' the free liver to the vomit.
Mg accompanying ulcerated stomach, these Pills
immediately relieve, generally cure.
Ou I RaLArlOna UTTH ANIZILIC•. —The revel oi
blaster appears to have spent itself in America. It is
a anions 'indention of the institutions of the model
Republic that we are told never to take the speeches of
men in high influential position at their obvious mean-
ing. Mr. Suctiver is, we believe, Chairman of the
Committee of Foreign Relations in the Renate, and
Senate is the power which decides is the last resort
upon the foreign policy of the country. It decrees
pease or war. a nfirmatioa or repudiation of treaties it
confirms or rejews the appointment of envoys. Ves,
the organ of the Senate in this most essential function
is known in America fore mere theorist —a man that
see eta notions too extravagant to be reducied to practice.
Nobody ettends to what he says beyond being annpei
or •xestrd by it. He is • Nimrod acrobat, nothing
more. Yet this posture master has contrived to send
the price of gold up 8 or 9 per cent, in New York, and
caused English holders to get rid of about • million
sterling of American securities. If he has done, and
caa do nothing else, he has caused great Ices to many
hutment parties in the commercial capital of his own
country, has lowered American credit in Europe, and,
m TO eepecially in England, haa stirred ill-blood which
it will not be so ea.y to calm, and has added another
l'em to 'the long amount of disgust and enmity which
attaches to the American aharsoter here. The wiser
beads, the more honourable moo, have naturally calcu-
lated the enormous cost of a war with England, and
bravely, as well as sensibly, disowned the idea ; but
our sincere respect for these makes us wish that they
snould deem it their duty in future to go one step
fonder, and prevent the impression that their Govern-
ment had retreated from • false position, to which, in
fast, it never advanced. It is impossible to honour •
eommunity whose most ostensible representative decks
himself in a fool's cap and is allowed to strut in his
motley as wearing the imperial robe of the State. It
is to the honour of Great Britain that no notice bee
been taken of this booth* parade in Parliament, and
that our Press has oorrected unofficially, get quite
sufficiently, what is irresponsible, though mischevious
shatter. We may add that the new Minister will be
removed here, certainly not with any peculiar demon-
stration of affection, but with no prejudice to any
resaleable errand of which he may be the bearer. If
Mr. Chandler visits us, as it is said he will, it may
do ldm good to sleet emery. • few remarks on himself
and his proceeding*.
