PERCHLORIDE OF IRON.—This substance which has been
largely experimented on by Dr. Deleau, physician to the
prison of La Roquette, in a medical point of view, is stated
by him, in a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences,
to be the most powerful hosmostatic k.oown, and to be par-
ticularly useful in uterine haemorrhages and scrofulous
affections. He had also used it -with advantage in those
diseases for which mercury is a specific, thus dispensing
with the use of that agent, nitrate of silver, iodine, and
their compounds.
GERMAN PROVERI39.—Women have long hair and short
wits. There is only one bad wife in the world, and every
one thinks he has her. 7;ihen the man spoons in and the
women shovels out, the nouseliold most soon fall through.
A woman spills mare with a thimble than a man can
draw with a bucket. A woman alwaY9'.. keaps secret
what she dwis not know. Rich wives makes poor
children_ There are only two good women in the world,
one is dead, and the other is pot to be found. Echo in
the woods, rai❑bow its the sky, a woman's beauty, soon,
passes by.

TEE SLAVE TII4.DE.

Lord BROUGHAM brOught up the subject of the African slave
trade, and expressed am ;Tile that the Emperor of France should
give his sanction to a project by a company to take regroes from the
coast of Africa to the Erench Nest India colonies. The object stated
WAS to import free negroes, but he was convinced that it mast be
looked upon as a renewal of the slaie trade. The plan proposed was
a most reprehensible attempt to revise the slave trade, and would
lead to encouragement of war betweezin African tribes for the
sole porpose of obtaining captives to be sold into slavery. He begged
to move a resitution expressing hi I views on the subject, and declaring
that an address should be presented to Her Majesty praying that she
would nee her utmost endeavours to discontinue projects having a
tendency, directly or indirectly, to encourage the slave trade.
The EARL of CLaap.mooN concurred in the motion, though he
doubted the success of the scheme of the French Company, owing to
the unwillingness of the negroes to leave their own country ; and he
had received a communication from the French Government to the
effect that every pre -atition would be taken to prevent the trailic
from leading to slavery.
The motion was agreed to after a brief discussion.
