BECIISTEIN'S CAGE BIRDS.
Price 7e., Illustrated with Woodcuts of Birds, Cages, Rt., ; a New
Edition of the
NATU RAL HISTORY of CAGE BIRDS ; their
Management, Habits, Food, Eiseams, Treatment, Breeding,
and the Methods of catching them. By J. M. BIXIISTRIN, M.D.
The work of Dr. Bechstein upon Cage-Birds has been so highly
esteemed upon the continent, that it has passed through several
editions, both in the original and in translations. To this edition
numerous notes hroe been added, ma well as several imrcies intro-
duced, which have recently been kept with success in this country by
the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Herbert, Mr. Sweet, Mr. Blyth, and others.
It is to be hoped that this translation may have similar moms, and
produce similar effects in increasing the taste for Natural History, to
the original published on the continent.
"To all keepers of 'Cage Birds' we earnestly recommend this
book."—Examiner.
• A very delightful book of its kind. Deems tons on indispensable
book for the bird.fancier."—Spectator.
"It will be welcome to every gentleman's library or drawing-roorn
table. Pis superbly grit up, with an immense number of vignettes ;
and, In fact, rivals the beauty of the Annuals."—DizPutch•

LATES r INTELLIGENCE,

TIIIS DAY. Four o'Clock.
Our foreign express arrived this morning. We
have Paris letters and journals of Wednesday.
The interest felt in the two great international
questions of the day,the coolness between the Cabinets
of St. James's and the Tuileries, and the spoliation of
Cracow, is infinitely more profound among the French
than among the English public. This is apparent to any
obser er of society, and glaringly evident in the journal-
ism of the rwo countries. A small fraction of what
has been written and read in Paris alone on these
questions, not to mention the provinces, would hare
been sufficient to weary the whole British nation.
Notwithstanding this, the journals of Paris, of the pre-
sent week, have continued theirvigourous efforts in this
discussion as if not a single word had yet been said
upon it. Nothing new, however, is offered.
The article in the Express, respecting the quarrel
between Admiral Dacres and the French Consul, is
quoted with satisfaction by several journals. The
decision of M. Guizot to recall the consul, mentioned
in our correspondence several days since, was not
alluded to in the Paris press until Wednesday, when
it was incidentally mentioned by the National.
The municipal elections were continued on Tuesday
and were generally favourable to the government.
The King and Queen of the Belgians arrived a+ the
Tuileries on Tuesday evening, and are expected to
remain in Paris about a week.
The weather throughout France during the past
week has been more severe than is usual even at this
season. The obstruction to the progress of communi-
cation through the country may be conceived by the
fact, that of the eighteen mails which arrive daily in
Paris only seven bad arrived on Tuesday up to the
hour of noon. The eleven following remained due :
Limoges, Lyons, St. Etienne, Sedan, Strasburg,
Besancon, Brest, Cherbourg, Forbach, Geneva, and
Havre.
The Calais mail, bringing the London journals and
correspondence of Saturday, which was due in
Paris
at six o'clock on Monday morning, did not arrive till
a late hour in the evening.
The price of bread in Paris, for the last fortnight
of December, is, as we anticipated some days since,
45c. the kilogramme, being equivalent to 2lel. per lb.
On Monday morning, at six o'clock, in Paris,
Fahrenheit's thermometer was 71. below the freezing
point. At noon it was 5° below it.

At the hour our Paris correspondent closed kis
despatches on Wednesday evening most of the wails
remained due. Those from the south and the east
had not arrived. Two Madrid mails, those of the 9th
and 10th continued due. Then Calais mail, bringing
London journals and correspoence of Monday had
not arrived.
We have accounts from Madrid to the Bth instant.

Francisco de Lujan, Pr)greesistus, and MM. Mon,
and Mis. del Povar, Conservative candidates, had
been elected for Madrid. One seat was still pending
the result of a ballot between M. Fidel, a Conserva-
tive, and Mis. del Socarro, a Progreasista ;but a belief
was entertained that the former would be successful,
in which case the representation of the capital would
be equally divided. The elections were to terminate
throughout Spain on the Bth, and in four or five days
the result would be offi,:ially known, El Herald°
