A JOURNEY UNDER PARIS.

A correspondent of a Swedish journal furnishes an
interesting account of a subterranean voyage made
through one of the admirably-constructed sewers of
Paris. The boat which conveyed the party was reached
by descending a flight of steps to the depth of forty feet.
The boat, a flat-bottomed affair, was lighted by four
lamps. The sewer is an archway fifteen feet high, and
of equal breadth, with a ditch or canal about ten feet
wide, wherein all the dirt and filth of Paris is carried
away. On the sides are sidewalks, which, together, are
about four feet wide. The whole is built of beautiful
white sandstone, and is kept remarkably neat and clean.
No stench or bad smell was perceptible. The denser
portion of the filth is carried away through large drains
beneath the sidewalks. The sidewalks are excellent,
and exhibited no signs of dampness, while the walls of
the archway are kept whitewashed, and are at all times
as white as the driven snow. The structure possesses
the properties of an immense speaking tube, the work-
men being able to converse at the distance of two miles
from each other. The echo is very strong and lasting.
The fabric is said to be built after the model of the
catacombs of Rome, aided by the latest improvements.
On both sides, at about two hundred yards distant from
one another, are openings through which the workmen
can ascend by means of permanent iron ladders, in case
a sudden rain storm should cause the water to rise over
the sidewalks, which is, however, of rare occurrence.
The contents of the sewer of course flow into the river
Seine, and the current is sufficient to carry the boat
used along with considerable velocity. Large reservoirs
are constructed at intervals into which the water can
be turned for a short time in case it should be necessary
to have the canal dry for a little while. The whole
..„„_ ;. Besides Llie mull/
canal, there are minor ones constructed under the
principal streets, all of which can be made to communi-
cate with one another. These admirable underground
works are accessible from the Louvre, the Tuileries, and
from all the barracks ; and should the Parisians take a
notion to barricade the streets in any part of the city,
the Imperial Government might, at a short notice and
without any persons being aware of it, transport troops,
and if there is time to make use of the reservoirs, so can
cavalry be transported the same way. There is an end
to shooting at the soldiers from the windows, and a revolu-
tion in Paris will soon only be remembered among the
things that have been, never to occur again. Through
these underground passages a prisoner can easily be
taken from the Louvre to the Seine, without attracting
attention, and thence sent off by railway, which is near
at hand.- This splendid system of sewerage was one of
the pet schemes of the first Napoleon.

INTENDED ASSASSINATION OF GARIBALDI. —The
Neapolitan Government seems to trust more to the
knife than to the bayonet, for further information has
arrived confirming the departure of the batch of brigands
to assassinate Garibaldi. The confirmation comes from
such sources that it is impossible to doubt the truth of it.
THE WINE BILL Fon SOOTLAND.—The Lord Advo-
cate has intimated his intention to introduce a wine
license bill for Scotland. From private sources we
learn that his Lordship is at present engaged in the pre-
paration of his measure, which will be laid on the table
of the House at the same time as the report of the Com-
missioners on the Forbes Mackenzie Act. We are
further led to understand that the production of the
Commissioners' report, which is to rcommend the adop-
tion of the Lord Advocate's measure, is only delayed till
the new bill is prepared.—Glasgow., Courier.

AL 13111tIM FAIR.—BALkINASLOE, Thursday Evening.
—The fair of Aughrigt was. held to-day. The supply of
cattle was larger than observed for many years past,
but in consequence of the paucity of buyers the sales
were very slow during the entire day. Prices were at
least at from 15s. to £1 under the late fair of Loughrea.
This is accounted for by reason of purchasers having
laid in their supplies at the late fairs, and the scarcity
of grass in this locality, from the ground being com-
pletely inundated. The supply of calves was very
large, and sold generally at from £3 10s. to £6,
being much in request. The sheep market was badly
supplied, and there seemed little or no demand in this
class during the day. Large prices were sought for in
the morning, but sellers. were much disappointed.
Lambs were much sought after, and went at from £1 to
£1 3s. There were scarcely any horses shown.

Flotrowkit'S Piriss.—Urisually hot' veatherin the., summer
•months is often productive of unpleasant consequences to
many. The over, the stomach,•and bowels, in such cases, are
more or less serioue,ly affected, so that the natives of England
are, a certain seasons, liable to some of the disorders which
range in warm climates. People cannot have a more powerful
curative than Holloway's justly celebrated Pills. They cool
and purify the blood, and render the system less liable to any
sort of irregularity; or, when disease is present, they abate its
force, and at last totally destroy it. Dysentery, billiousness,
acidity of stomach, sick headache, and debility soon disappear
before a course of the admirable Pills.

diseases of the digestive organs, but particularly liver affec-
tions, Such as enlargement or inflammation ; long-standing eases

New INVENTION.—THE New FOUNTAIN PEN.---A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with---the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new "fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall
and Co.' is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the inls' is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writingnib; and this barrel
can be taken out at any Wm,' so the"peneari be kept perfectly
clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' offices, banks and indeed in every place, it will
be found to till a want felt by every one up to this tiuse, We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us •byl* E. T. Hall,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it:will give a'ftill Verdict in its favour.
