The inhabitants of Peronne (Suname) were alarmed
two evenings since by :seeing what appeared to be a cloud
of dark smoke proceeding from the top of the tower of
the Church of St. Jean. It was at first thought that
the tower must be on fire, and several persons
ascended to ascertain the fact. After sea/ ching in vain in-
side, some of them went out on the platform at the top, and
there made the discovery that the appearance which had
caused so much alarm was produced by an immense swarm
of gnats fluttering in the evening breeze.
EGYPTIAN AND AMERICAN COTTON FROM TUR-
KEY.—In the Smyrna Mail of Tuesday, June 16
(just received), we read—" We have got thus far into our
cotton year, and with good prospects seed has been exten-
sively distributed by the Government, which has pro-
mised to continue its efforts next year, and furnished seed for
the unsupplied districts, and thus the whole country will be
provided in time with Egyptian seed. It remains to do
the same thing for the American, for until we can grow a
good supply of American we shall never satisfy our Man-
chester friends. Still there will be an increase of
American."
THE STEAM BOATS.--The steam boats of the

WESTMINSTER.

THE DANGEROUS PRACTICE OF THROWING STONES,.—
Thomas Brown, about 12 years of age, was charged with
assaulting Eleanor Vandoval, a Belgian girl, by throwing
a stone at her, which seriously injured her face. Com-
plainant had a severe wound on her left cheek, which had
bled profusely, and the wound was patched over with stripes
of adhesive plaster.
It appeared that between one and two o'clock the previous
afternoon the complainant was playing on a tambourine in
Cumberland-street, when some boys gathered round her
and annoyed her very much. The prisoner was among
them, and flung a stone at her, which struck her on the
left cheek. In consequence of the severity of the injury
she was taken to the hospital, where the wound was
dressed.

The prisoner denied that he flung a stone, and said that
he had a witness who could prove he did not.
A lad stated that he saw a boy pick up three stones. He
gave them to three boys. The prisoner had one, but he did
not throw a stone. He did not strike complainant.
Prisoner, in answer to Mr. Selfe, said that he did strike
her with his hand.
Mr. Selfe told the prisoner that if it had been proved that
he flung a stone he should have sent him to prison, and
ordered him to be once whipped. It was really dangerous
to walk about the streets owing to the practice of boys fling-
ing stones in the streets. As to the assault upon the com-
plainant it was most aggravated, and in no country in
Europe but in London could such a scene be witnessed. He
cautioned the prisoner against throwing stones, and stated
that ,f a charge was brought before him of throwing stones
and the case proved, he would inflict a severe punishment.
The prisoner was fined 2s, 6d. for the assault,which, with
a similar sum from the poor 13(4, was given to complainant.

HOW MUCH TO EAT AND DRINK.

If we iti-2 to the declarations of physiologists as
diet, we shall find considerable
to what is sufficient,'
diversity among their opinij2Q. Valentin, who ex-
perimented on himself, states that about °lbs. per
diem of solid and liquid food was the quantity
which sufficed to keep him in full health ; and lir.
Brinton, who agrees generally with this estimate,
considers that 2lbs. should consist of solid food.
Dalton, an American physiologist, considers, from
experiments made on himself, that about 21-lbs. of
solids, and 31bs. of liquid per diem is the proper
quantity, at least when a diet is used consisting of
bread, meat, butter, coffee, and water, as in his in-
vestigations. The elaborate researches of Vierordt
give a different result, only about 18 ounces of solids
being used, together with a much larger quantity
of water than in either of the preceding estimates.
But as the experiments of Valentin and Dalton
were made on themselves, i.e., on persons actively
exerting their minds (and probably their bodies
also), whereas the subject of Vierordt's experiments
seems to have been a mere human lay figure, using,
probably, the minimum of exertion of any kind, no
fair comparison can be made between the results.
. . . On the whole, perhaps, Dalton's estimate
of 2ilbs. solid, and 3lbs. of liquid food may be
considered as nearly representing the quanti-
ties which would be suitable for an adult not

ving a life of great mental exertion or anxiety, and,

like Dalton, not drinking alcohol. In the case of a
moderate consumer of alcoholic drinks, this propor-

tion may be somewhat reduced. We agree with
Mr. Lewes that it is impossible to doubt that, mak-
ing all allowance for possible peculiarities of cir-
cumstances and constitution, the very small daily
quantity of solid food (12 oz.), on which the cele-
brated Cornaro lived for so many years, was ren-
dered sufficient, in great measure, by the 14 oz. of
light wine which he added to it; though we would
by no means recommend our readers to try the
effect of such severe abstinence, even with this miti-
gation. If any such standard as that of Valentin or
Dalton, as to quantity of food, he adopted, atten-
tion must be paid to the proportion of flesh food
which should enter into it. Dalton allowed one
pound of meat per diem ; and from a comparison of
numerous dietaries of public institutions, due allow-
ance being made for the peculiar circumstances of
their respective inmates, this seems to approach
pretty nearly to the best general average that can
be given for the nourishment of adult males. From
what has been already stated as to the influence of
high muscular development in the demand for
flesh food, it will be inferred that women, under
ordinary circumstances, would require less of this
sort :of nourishment than men.--Cornhill Maga-
zine for July.

THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE

Mr. B. COCHRANE gave notice that on Monday, on
the motion for going into committee of supply, he should
call attention to the report of the diplomatic service commit-
tee, which was brought before the house last evening quite
unexpectedly.
GROWING CROPS (IRELAND).
In reply to Sir F. HEYOATE,

Sir R. PEEL stated that the Government did not intend
to proceed with the Civil Bills (Ireland) Bill, but it was un-
der consideration whether the clause of the bill referring to
the seizure of growing crops might not be embodied in a
separate bill, to be introduced during the present session.
GENERAL MOLRAVIEFF AND THE LADIES
OF POLAND.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH—I beg to ask the tinder Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has reason to think
that the instructions given to Gen. Mouravieff by the Rus-
sian Government, on his appointment to the military com-
mand of the army in the Government of Vilna, contain
any such passages as the following : " If circumstances ren-
der it advisable, his excellency can adopt measures against
families who possess members in the ranks of the insur-
gents." " His excellency should oppose certain demon-
strations of the women, and, for their hindrance, will even
adopt severe measures against them."
Mr. LAYARD—I am quite sure my hon. friend will
perceive that it is quite impossible for me to answer such a
question. Of course the Russian Government do not com-
municate to us the instructions which they may have given
to their agents ; and if 1 were to state what I think the in-
structions given in the present case to be, I might only be
deceiving my hon. friend.

FIRE IN SOUTHWARK,---This Day.

This morning, shortly before 4 o'clock, a fire broke out in
the extensive premises occupied by Messrs. Ash and Co.,
wholesale ironmongers, &c., Unionstreet, Borough. The
flames very speedily got firm hold of the woodwork in the
building, and for a considerable time defied all the exertions
of the firemen to extinguish them, notwithstanding their
were present all the engfues from the principal stations of
the fire brigade, and also the newly-invented land steam.
engine. A mastery was at length obtained over the con-
flagration, but not before Messrs. Ash's premises were
very nearly consumed, and those adjoining very severely
damaged. Unfortunately one life fell a sacrifice to the
flames—viz., that of a young man named Dickson. The
whole of the inmates had a very narrow escape.

THE ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIE LY.

A crowded meeting of this society took place
yesterday, the attraction being a paper " On the
Antiquity of Man," by Mr. J. Crawford, the Presi-
dent. The author objected to the recent work of
Sir Chanes Lyell, in respect to certain branches of
the subject on which he had bestowed special atten-
tion. He stated at once his own conviction that the
presence of man on the earth had an antiquity far
beyond the usual estimate, and that them was no
question as to his having been the contemporary of
the fossil elephants, lines, and rhinoceroses. 110
opposed Sir C. Lyell on the points ot the unity of
the human race and the Aryan theory of language,
and the origin by transmutation of man from the
apes. On the first point Mr. Crawfurd concludes
that there is no shadow of evidence for the unity of
the human races, and none for any having under-
gone any appreciable change of form. if 1,000, or
4,000, or 10,000, or 100,000 years, supposing the last
the age of the skeletons of the Belgian race con-
temporary with the Mammoth, have yielded no
differences from the present European type, it is, he
believes, reasonable to consider that multiplying
any of these sums by a million of years would yield
nothing but the same cipher. On the second point,
tie said that Sir Charles's object, following the
philosophers of Germany, woulc. seem to be to reduce
ail languages to a small number of primordial ones,
in the same manner as the authors of the theory of
transmutation of species would reduce all the species
to a few monads. It there were any truth iu the
Aryan theory thus advocated, it 'would, Mr. Craw-
ford says, of necessity follow that there would be no
language at all in Western Asia or Europe, ancient,
or modern, and that Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, with
all the modern languages, would be reduced to the
rank of mere dialects, or zubdivisions of one primor-
dial tongue—the airy and fabulous Aiyan, the mere
creature of Teutonic itn.ginetiou. On the thud
point Mr. Crawfurd conressedly took only a popu-
lar view. lie considered that man was mailed by-.
4 superiority ot intellect, by having the power et
speech and the capability of framing languages, and
that although monkeys have an cutward and evert
a structural resemblance to man beyond all other
animals, it was nothing more than a mere resew-
blance, and that why nature had bestowed on them
this similarity was a mystery beyond our under-
standing. In the animated discussion which fol-
lowed Sir C. L3ell, Sir H. :Murchison, Protessor-
• Busk, Mr. J. Wyatt of Bedford, Dr. Coilier, Pro-
fessor Macdonald, and Mr. Mackie took part. 16
was stated by Sir C. Ly ell that, by a letter he had
received this day, he had heard that M. B. de
Perthes had found a human jaw iu the flint bearing
beds of Abbeville, but ou the other hand it was said-
that Mr. Prestwich had seen the specimen, and was;
not convinced of its genuineness. Nothing certsail
seemed to be known about this relic.
