PRUSSIA AND THE DUCHIES.

The Provincial Correspondence, a ministerial
journal of Berlin, has just published an article
entitled "The Duchies and Prussia," and which is
said to contain the programme of the cabinet. The
arguments employed are a pleading in favour of
annexation, pure and simple. The article lays
down in principle that the duty of Prussia is to
protect the Duchies, and in order to do so effi-
ciently she must dispose of their land and sea forces,
as well as of their territory. Those fundamental
points being once accepted in principle, Prussia
would examine the rights of the claimants ; she
would not, however, engage herself in any way, so
that, according to the system of the Provincial Cor-
i respondence, the concession of all those preliminary
demands to Prussia would be without influence on
the ulterior decision as to the dynastic question.

THE MAGNESIVM LICHT. —This powerful light
hes just received a new application in connexioo with the
laryogosoope, a small spparatus consisting of two mirrors
by means of which the lower parts of the larynx may be
ifeeveniently brought to view. M. Maisonnenve, being de-
sines of showing hie students the manner of using this appa-
-1 rants, requested Dr. Fonrole, the investor of the improve-
meat we are about to describe, to attend a late clinical lea
. tare of his. Dr. Fronde did so, bringing a patient with
Ihim who was suffering from a polypus situated
deep in the throat. This tumour, of the sins
I of a filbert, not only impeded the free articulation of
sound, but might in the end, by its growth, have rendered
respiration impassible, and consequently canoed death by
suffocation. In order to render this pathological pheno-
-1 mows visible to the students and physicians who crowded
the lecture room, M. FOU/Ta made use of the magnesium
light, which, owing to its dearness (a shilling per reunite),
is as yet not generally known. By means of if. Mathieu.
Piessy's ;asap, specially coostrocted for the magus-
' gam light, strong luminous rays were projected on
the minor Paced at the furthest end of the
&WO. and thence reflected into the larynx and the
breams. Thews parts being thus powerfully illominated,
were visibly depicted on the mirror ; but the image was
seesmarily small, the mirror tot being more then two
ceetbeetres span. But on a hi-convex lens being placed
before the patient's mouth, the Image became so enlarged,
that every one could distinguish it from a distance of a few
metres. These two application of important scientific dig-
inweries and °outwitting' combined are highly interesting
is the first plain, by the aid of the magowrium light, the
exact site of die 'West sore in the upper respiratory
organs may be dissevered by physicians ; and in the second
pleas the mme may. be rendered visible to a usaserona
