A FICTITIOUS HOSPITAL.

From the commencement of the siege the allies
had noticed a large structure in the central part of
the city, which was surmounted by a yellow flag, in-
dicating that it was a hospital for the wounded. A
communication to that effect was made to the gene-
rals commanding the allied armies, and strict orders
given to spare that part of the town. Some time
after, however, deserters from the place gave infor-
mation which led to the conviction that a deceit had
been practised ; in fact, it was found that the build-
ing, which was supposed to give shelter to the sick
and wounded, was anything buten hospital—it was a
vast magazine, where the ammunition and stores of
the besieged were deposited. Acting on this infor-
mation, some shells were thrown into it, and the
pretended hospital blew up with a tremendous report.
The ground around it shook as if with an earthquake,
and houses were thrown down in all airections.
• WELCOME SUPPLIES.
An enterprising merchant from Pere arrived on
the 21st, to relieve the necessities of the camp. His
ship was a barque of 150 tons, containing a general
cargo of necessaries and luxuries. He commenced
his sale next morning, and by sunset bad disposed of
one-third of his cargo, at prices of, on the average,
100 per cent. profit. India-rubber coats fetched 605.;
iron camp bedsteads, 455. ; cigars, per pound, 305.;
chocolate, per pound, 3s. ; a small cheese, 125.;
candles, per pound, 35.; Westphalia hams of 10
pounds, 255.; all other articles equally high.
The French sent on the 22nd to the English camp
a present of more than 20,000 newly baked loaves of
bread from their camp bakeries. This furnished a
loaf per man, and proved a most acceptable present
to the soldiers, who had lived for weeks on ration
biscuit.

TESTIMONIAL FROM

The late DR. JONATHAN PEREIRA,
Professor at the University of London, Author of " The Elements
of Materia Blediea and Therapeutics," itc. kc.
"My dear Sir—l was very glad to find from you, when 7 had
the pleasure of seeing you in London, that you were interested
commercially in Cod Liver Oil. It was ftit'ng that the Author of
the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this
Oil should himself be the Purveyor of this important medicine.
" I feel, however, some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your
request by giving you my opinion of the quality of the oil of
which you gave me a sample; because I know that no one can
be better, and few so well, acquainted with the physical and
chemical properties of this medicine as yourself, whom I regard
as the highest authority on the subject.
" I can, however, have no hesitation about the propriety of re-
sponding to your application. The oil which you gave me was of
the very finest quality. whether considered wjah reference to its
colour, flavour, or chemical properties: and lam satisfied that
for medicinal purposes no finer oil can be procured.
" With my best wishes for your success, believe me, my dear
Sir, to be very faithfully yours,

Emperor, is twenty-three years of age ; he is
Inspector-General of the Engineering department,
Aide-de-Camp of the Emperor, titular Colonel of a
regiment of Dragoons, of a regiment of Grenadiers,
and of the Regiment of Cuirassiers of Astrakan.
He is, besides, proprietor of the 2nd Regiment of

Regiment of Prussian Hussars.
According to a despatch from St. Petersburg,
Prince Woronzow has, at his own request, been re-
lieved from the Command-in-Chief of the Crimea
and the Caucasian provinces.
Letters from Russian officers at Warsaw assert
that the junction of the two remaining divisions of
I)annenberg's infantry corps, which was expected to
be complete about the 4th, would raise Menschikoff's
moveable army to a strength of 60,0(X) men, capable
of taking the offensive, while still leaving a sufficient
garrison in Sebastopol.
Letters were received at Memel on the Bth instant
from St Petersburg merchants, ordering that their
goods should not be shipped in British vessels, as
they feared the Russian fleet would put to sea and
capture them, there being so few British cruisers in
the Baltic.

UNITED STATES.
New York papers of the Ist have arrived by the

Shanghai is still in the hands of the insurgents.
Fighting is also still going on in the neighbourhood
of Canton, and no tea has arrived there.
The British, French, and American plenipoten-

ABERDEEN STRATEGY;

OR, COALITION TACTICS.
FOR the effectual prosecution of war with an enemy, send a large fleet
to anchor in his neighbourhood, but with positive orders that no more
injury be done to him than is perfectly unavoidable; and then
remember that you receive a proper excuse or apology frum the
commanding officer for any act of the kind.
Bear always in mind to send ships drawing a depth of water too
great to enable them to near the enemy's forts, so that your guns may
never be of injury to him.
If an army be sent, he sure that your cavalry be sent in the
smallest possible quantities, taking especial cure that the superior
officers may not sail untii long after the troops which they are to
command.
Let your army be sent to any point where disease most exists,
never allowing them to be employed (luring the time it is there. Then
without inju►y to the enemy, they will soon decimate by death from
mere indolence, and not from the highly objectionable collision of
contending forces.
When, however, the survivors should be duly debilitated, send
them to engage the enemy ; but on no account before you have given
him every precaution to reinforce his army, time to strengthen and
increase his fortifications, and to sink ships across his harbours.
Let it he a golden rule of your warfare, never to begin any siege
or attack until the year is far advanced—never to allow any tenth or
covering to your army during autumnal nights—nor after any loss,
however great, by disease or action, to think it needful to send any
reinforcement until your army be nearly destroyed.
Above all, remember that the sinews of car►ying on the war by the
enemy be furnished by yourself, and that ho may never be crippled
from want of them, as long as you have money to purchase and pay for
his produce,

INTRODUCTION.
CONTAINING THE STORY OF THE POOR PORTER OF WHITEHALL.
UNDER the reign of Coalition-all-Renegades, there resided in Mid-
dlesex a poor porter of the name of Bernal, who, notwithstanding his
laborious and mean business, professed to be a fellow of wit and
humour; but all his acquaintance were used to say, pleasantly, tlmt
the greatest weight he carried was his jokes. One day, as he was
sauntering about Whitehall, clamouring violently, and crying, " Who
has a pannier to carry? Who lacks a porter?" and looking eagerly at
each passer-by for a job, an old man with one foot in the grave came
to hint and said, with a pleasant air, in the accent of the North, " Hark
ye, porter! tak' your basket, and follow me !"
The porter, charmed with these words, took his basket imme-
diately, put it on his head, and followed the old man, exclaiming,
"Oh ! happy day ! Oh! day of good luck !" "Do not," said the Old
Man of the North, " apprehend much labour, porter, for I only require
you to carry the abandoned professions of certain viziers, emirs, and
Janissaries. So the porter followed the Old Man of the North until
he came to Carlton House-terrace, where he stopped and knocked.
Presently came out one who said, " What means so small a basket as
that? Do you not know that there are all the speeches and protesta-
tions since 1843 to be carried ? The porter is not strong enough."
" Never mind," replied the Old Man, " throw them in." So they were
all thrown into the porter's basket, who went on his way, very much
marvelling that his basket seemed scarcely heavier than before. In
like manner the porter followed the Old Man of the North to Eaton-
square and Chesham-place, and round almost the entire town, taking in
the same kind of load, and feeling no whit the more burdened,
exclaiming, " Blessed be Allah ! the speeches of viziers are not
weighty when once they are spoken." Then the Old Man went
on his way through several very crooked roads and dirty turnings
until he arrived at a decayed and dilapidated street, the end of which
was propped up by wood, and the front very smoky and dingy.
" Now, porter," said the Old Man of the North, " this is Downing-
street ; tread very softly, and be quiet, for we have no right here ; and,
if we awake the inhabitants, even he that carries the basket may chance
to get into trouble."
The porter replied, " Blessed be the prophet !" and followed the
Old Man.
Now it is fit that you should know that just as the Old Man and
the porter,had ceased speaking the Old Man clapped his bands, and

FRANCE.

Letters from Biarritz mention that the Emperor
Napoleon bathes in the sea every morning, and after-
wards, accompanied by the Empress, or alone, takes
a walk through the town.
The camp at Boulogne was expected to be com-
pleted by to-day (the sth). Twelve regiments of
cavalry will form part of it. The generals of military
divisions and subdivisions who have received com-
mands in the camp have had orders to repair to their
posts.
The Sentinelle Toulonnaise of the 30th ult. states
that a number of pieces of siege artillery had been
embarked at Toulon for the East. They are to form
five batteries, with 833 cannoniers, who have nearly
all arrived at Toulon.
Bou Maya, the celebrated Algerian chief, left Mar.
seilles for Gallipoli by the steam mail-packet Thabor

The Government lithographic correspondence, the
Bulletin de Paris, has been sentenced to pay a tine
of 50f. for publishing the false news that 100 guns
had been fired in Paris to celebrate a great victory
gained by the allies. The Bulletin merely gave cur-
rency to a very generally received mistake. Some
guns were fired at the Louvre to scluzA3 the man-of-
war that made its appearance in the " Port of Paris,"
and the report was spread that they were firing for a
victory. The counsel for the Bulletin pleaded its
good faith and well-known loyal sentiments, but the
tribunal in its impartial justice felt bound to convict
for the false news, although it inflicted the minimum
punishment.
A Paris letter in the Indipendance of Brussels
states that the examining magistrates hove decided
that sufficient grounds do not exist for prosecuting
Count de Montalembert for having published, or
allowed to be published, a letter containing attacks
on the Government.
Many persons visited the Column of July on Satur-
day last. Some persons wearing pinks in their
button-boles were arrested.
The inauguration of the railway from Paris to
Orsay took place on the 28th ult. It was attended
by Marshal Valliant, Minister of War; by M. 1)u•
boil, Director-General of ltailways ; and by other
eminent functionaries. On Saturday last M. Dulong,
who has been the principal director of the works,
was stepping down from a tender, when lie lost his
balance, and fell between the quay and the train,
which had not entirely stopped, and had his left arm
completely crushed by the wheels.

3. A JESTER.

Of Portuguese origin. Some boldness of expression ; and the student
will observe that the organs of memory are well developed. A type of
no great value, but curious. The meaning of the little ship in one
hand, and of the pen in the other, has not been discovered; but it may
imply that one of the jokes of the individual was his assuming to be
secretary to some naval institution. (From the Osborne Gallery.)

4. A DUX, OR DUKE.
A small figure, marked by extreme self-assertion. The thistle upon a
book may indicate its Scottish origin, or be an intimation of the posi-
tion in natural history of those who admire the book. It is not impos-
sible that time may give a value to this type, but its crudity is evident
at a glance.

5. AN ECONOMIST.

This name has been given to the figure, upon what grounds it is diffi-
cult to say. A paper, somewhat resembling in form a weekly news-
paper, is in the hand of the figure, and several hats are behind it, as
if thrown away. The features are remarkable, and the mouth indicates
great volubility. The typo is by no means recommended as a
model.
6. AN ATHLETE.
A manly figure, apparently somewhat advanced in years, but full of
vigour. A Cupid's bow, sculptured on the pedestal, is not easily ex-
plicable. The face apparently expresses scorn of those immediately
around the figure, and the position of the foot indicates hesitation
whether to kick them away, or to walk from among them.
London, England, 1854-08-05

7. A SOLDIER OF FORTUNE.

A massy figure, and the expression one of apparent recklessness, but
real caution. A close observer will see a small botanic object upon
the tongue : it is what is called a burr. This type should be studied,
in evidence of how talent is misapplied where there is no lofty pur
pose in view. The head is good. (From the Cumberland Gallery.)

8. A FIGURE IN WOOD.
No particular name seems likely to belong to this figure. It was on
ginally found at Pontefract, and has been regarded with a respect to
which its merits hardly entitle it. There is the utmost confusion in
the composition, and its details are signally ill balanced. A tablet, or
slate, with clumsy and contradictory figures upon it, would seem to
imply that the original had been some unlucky accountant. The In-
dian turban upon the head is evidently of later date, and is a ridiculous
addition which might be removed with advantage.
9. A PHILOSOPHER.
A very curious figure, dug up in Southwark. It is difficult to state
whether its intention be serious or satiric. Some suppose it to be the
" skolasticos" of ancient Greek litarature, but the book under the arm
bears the inscription 0B S. The nose is turned up fastidiously, as
if the person were avoiding the odour of his constituents, or of a drain,
and he is delivering a speech, the MS. of which appears from a fold
of his robe. A box at his foot, with a ball in it, but kicked over, has
some hidden meaning.

POSTSCRIPT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FIUDLY.
Lord MONTEAGLE, in moving for returns, ex-
pressed his anxiety that education in India should
receive greater attention, with which opinion Earl
Granville expressed his full concurrence.
Lord Sr. LEONARD'S called the attention of the
house to the present system of tickets of leave
which, he contended, had turned out a perfect
failure. All offers of mercy to convicted criminals
would be thrown away unless some fixed employ-
ment was furnished them after the expiration of the
sentence. Unless something was done, he should
move next session for a committee of inquiry.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE admitted that in many
respects the system had not answered, but thought
it deserved a further trial. He deprecated all re-
newed attempts to re establish transportation in its
former extent.
Lord CAMPBELL said that no punishment was so
effective in terrifying offenders as transportation.
Lord BROUGHAM resumed an adjourned debate on
national education, advocating secular as distinct
from religious instruction. He, however, did not
press his resolutions, and after a few words from
Earl Granville the subject dropped.
The Commons' amendment to the Oxford Bill was
agreed to.
The Bribery and Stamp Duties Bill went through
committee.

PORTUGAL.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Iberia brings dates from Lisbon of the 29th ;
Oporto and Vigo, 30th.
From Oporto we learn that the excitement had
subsided, the Government having agreed to allow the
importation of Indian corn at a low duty until the
21st December.
The prospects of the approaching vintage at Lisbon
are stated to be more favourable.

SPAIN.
The Queen published a proclamation in the Madrid
Gazette of the 28th ult. Her Majesty testified
therein her confidence in Spaniards as well as in
Marshal Espartero. She announced, moreover, the
reassembling of the Cortes. The proclamation was
very well received. On the following day Marshal
Espartero made his entry into that capital amid the
acclamations of the populace. He visited the Queen
at the palace, where he showed himself at the bal-
cony in company with her Majesty and the King, and
was received with enthusiasm by the populace. The
marshal proceeded to the Buena Vista Palace, which
is to be his residence. The position of Madrid was
afterwards sensibly ameliorated. Confidence was
restored, the Bourse was opened, and the funds were
rising. General San Miguel had addressed to the
Captains General of the provinces a circular, calling
ou the provincial juntas to give their adhesion to the
authority of the Queen, and to recommend confi-
dence to the people. All parties seem now deter-
mined to accept General Espartero as the arbitrator,
and to abide by the existing dynasty.
On the Ist inst. the appointment of the new Minis-
try was announced. It is composed as follows:—
Duke of Victoria, President of the Council; O'Don-
nell, War ; J. Alonso, Justice ; F. Lujan, Public
Works; F. Santo Cruz, Interior; J. M. Mollaro,
Finances ; Salaza, Marine ; J. Pacheco, Foreign
Affairs.
O'Donnell and San Miguel are made marshals.
A Consultative Junta has been formed in Seville
with the approbation of General O'Donnell. Gene-
ral Serrano has been appointed Captain-General of
Andalusia.
The Queen, by a previous proclamation, had
restored Generals O'Donnell, Serrano, and Dulce to
their rank, and recalled the generals and other offi-
cials banished by the San Luis Administration.
Before the arrival of Espartero the Provisional
Junta at Madrid had issued several decrees of much
importance. One of them suppressed the Royal
Council, and another called into force the Press
Law of 1837. Tho decree which exiled the Infante

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF

CONTROL.
A CASE came under our notice some days ago
which affords too remarkable an illustration
of the manner in which Sir CHARLES WOOD
governs India to be passed over. As it is one
in which several members of Parliament have
interested themselves, the fidelity of our
sketch will be recognised without difficulty.
Nor will the evidence we can thus appeal to
be deemed less trustworthy when we state
that these members are all habitual supporters
of the present Administration.
It happens that there is in England at this
moment a native of India of illustrious birth
who is allowed by all acquainted with the
circumstances to have suffered grievous
wrong at the hands of one of the subordinate
Governments of India. Wearied of making
fruitless appeals for redress there, he at last
decided to come to England and apply for
justice at the fountain-head. His large
fortune enabled him to take this step without
fa►lher inconvenience than the length of the
voyage and a temporary separation from his
family. On his arrival here his birth secured
him ready admittance to distinguished society.
While enjoying the pleasures of the metropolis,
however, he did not neglect the business he
came upon; but to all his complaints the
India-house turned a deaf ear. While indi-
vidual members of the direction admitted the
injustice he had been subjected to, they
refused to afford him any redress in their
collective capacity. What their reasons might
be for this refusal they declined to tell him ;
for at the India-house in all such cases sicvolo
sic jobeo stet pro ratione voluntas is the rule of
action.
Finding that nothing was to be got from the
Court of Directors, this Indian nobleman ap-
. pealed to Sir CHARLES WOOD; but, as Sir
London, England, 1854-08-05

SATURDAY,

Old enmities are discarded, new friendships
are formed, the Court vacillates and is van-

quished, the victors enter Madrid in triumph,
and the Cortes are to be convoked for the
regeneration of Spain.
In the insurrections by which Spain has
been convulsed, a character of political action,
widely differing from French revolutionary
proceedings, may be observed. At Paris the
civilians elways commence, and the military
gradually join, while at Madrid the course is
reversed. It would seem that the military
body is most predominant in the discordant
elements of Spanish society. if the soldiery
begin the insurrections they also steady them
and bring them to rapid conclusions, and thus
there ought to be splendid materials in the Spa-
nish character for making a vigorous Executive,
deriving its moral power from monarchical
unity, supported by the sentiment of military
honour. k dynasty of average energy
might resuscitate the Spanish Monarchy by
firm counsels, and by conduct that would rally
the whole people under a patriotic sceptre.
We do not, however, forget that the exagge-
rated forms of provincial localism in Spain
interpose many obstacles to the wholesome
vigour of a centralised Executive. Spain has
often shown itself as divided by its provincial
juntas as England under the Heptarchy.
It is in these latter circumstances that
ESPARTERO and O'DONNELL will find their
main difficulties. Their junction promises
that for a time there will be an exhibition
of energy and public apirit. In proportion as
it is purified the Executive will be power-
ful, and the recent scandals of the Court will
give additional moral power to the rule of the
successful military chieftains. How far the
priesthood, thathates ESPARTERO, and conspired
for his fall, will give in its loyal adhesion to
'the present Government, is a point on which
definite information has not been received.
The priests did nothing to save the country
from Court scandals, and they would not add to
their power by joining in any reactionary pro-
ceedings. Besides, though as mere individuals
their influence is vast, their political authority
has been greatly diminished in recent years,
by their own divisions and ecclesiastical
broils, as well as by other circumstances.

ITALY.

At Parma a bloody conflict has taken place between
the people and the Austriau-Parmanese troops. The
students and revenue soldiers joined the insurrection.
The imeute commenced in the morning of the 25th
ult. by some unknown persons attacking the soldiers,
when the troops were called out, and a tiring and
cannonade kept up until noon, and resumed at two
p.m. The last accounts announce that tranquillity
18 restored.
Intelligence has been received from Milan of the
failure of the firm of Lampurgnani.
The only surviving author of the assassination of
Count Rossi, a Colonel Grandoni, was publicly be.
headed in Rome on the morning of the 22nd ult.
