NEW HOMAGE TO THE GENIUS OF CORNEILLE.—
An open space, to be called Place Corneille, is about
to be made in Paris by taking down several houses in the
narrow street called Argenteuil, near the Louvre. About
twenty years since there was discovered, in the Rue Argen-
teuil, the house in which Corneille died. An inscription
was placed in the court-yard, engraved on a black marble
tablet, stating that Pierre Corneille died there the lst of
October, 1684.

THE CHEER,AFTER "THE ALMA"—From the recol-
lection of an officer engaged at it.—On the farthest
heights, about a mile and a half from the Alma, the Bri-
tish troops ceased their pursuit ; and then arose such a
cheer !---a cheer from 20,000 victorious men I—even some
of the poor wounded fellows joined in it. I shall never
forget that cheer as long as I live—it was, indeed, thrilling.
I almost pitied the fallen enemy—it must have been so gal-
ling to them ; as I heard a man of the Guards say to a com-
rade, " I say, Bill, pleasant for them poor devils (pointing
to some wounded Russians) hearing our chaps cheer so."
The men were tired, and many almost exhausted for want
of water. Lord Raglan rode up and down the line of troops,
the men cheering him vociferously. There was such a
shaking of hands. Ono felt very choky about the throat,
and very much inclined to cry, as one wrung the hand of
a friend, and " God bless you, old fellow 1---so glad to see
you all right!" and like expressions, were heard on every
side between brother officers. It was a touching sight to
see the meeting between Lord Raglan and Sir Colin Camp-
bell—the late Lord Clyde. The latter was on foot, as his
horse had been killed in the earlier part of the action. He
went up to his lordship, and, with tears in his eyes, shook
hands, saying it was not the first battle field they had won
he might be allowed
together. and that now he had a favour to ask, namely, that

this Lord Raglan, of course, gave a smiling assent ; and,
had
after a few more words of friendship on both sides, they
parted to their several duties.

ELEGANT ENGLISH : being a specimen extract
from Davis's diary, descriptive of M'Kinlay's Aus-
tralian Expedition :—June 21, 1862, between Stuart's
Creek 'and the River Burdekin, in North-east Australia.
Here we go I three more horses left behind, Go it, ye
cripples! So that we don't have to walk it won't signify;
bu if we go on as we are doing now, burning the candles
at both ends—i.e., eating the camels and horses, and leav-
ing them behind—and with nothing else to depend on for
grub. we shall soon be in serious difficulty. It won't do to
be wrecked in sight of home; so, lads, cheer up, and keep
your peckers ditto; that's the way to pull through a diffi-
culty; and when we are on the last horse, it will be time
enough then to thiak of going to David Jones, Esq., and
he will have a nice lot if he gets us. One of the camels
seems very CD, he had to be thrashed to get him on,

THE FRENCH ARMY, now 412,000 strong, is thus
distributed :—ln Mexico, two divisions of infantry and a
brigade of cavalry, about 34,000; in Cochin China, 1,600
(the above being on the war footing); in Rome, about
20,000. The army of Paris consists of three divisions of
infantry and one of cavalry; of Lyons, two divisions of in-
fantry and one of cavalry ; and four regiments of cavalry
are at Lunevilie. These armies are estimated at 40,000
men. The Imperial Guard, together with the Turcos and
the Spahie, 30,000 men. The remainder of the French
army is distributed in six great corps, five in Franco and
one in Algeria.

THE MANILLA CHEROOT MANUFACTURE—De.
scribed by Madame Anna d'A. in her new work,
" A Lady's Visit to Manilla and Japan."—The building is
very extensive, covering 6 acres, in a quarter of the town
called Binondo, and was erected about the year 1782. They
employ in this establishment 10,000 women, and 300 men,
the wages of each being 30 cents. per day. As they have
no machinery, all is done by manual labour; and to us, so
used to the former in Europe, the latter process seemed
slow. The building contains four galleries, each being
divided into two or three compartmen.s. You walk down
the middle of these galleries, where at long low tables on
each side, the women work, seated upon mats placed on the
ground. The noise is very deafening, for each female is
provided with a atone, about the side of a large lemon, with
which she beats the leaves continually, reminding one of
cooks beating beef-steaks. When the " coat" is thus pre-
pared, they put a quantity of small chopped up tobacco in
the centre, a little gum on one edge, and;then 101 l it very
adroitly till it assumes the desired form, after which the
small end is neatly tapered off.

TREASURE TROVE.—Oue hundred and two gold
coins of the 15th century have just been found in
pulling down an old house at Saint-Pol-de-LEon (Fini-
stere). These pieces were struck, some at Nantes and some
at Rennes, and all bear the effigy of Francis, Duke of
Brittany, in armour, on horseback, with the inscription,
Franciscus Dei gratia Britanum dux; on the reverse is a
cross on an emine field, with the words, Deus, in adjuto.
rium meson intende. Each coin is of the size of a two-
franc piece. All are in a good state of preservation.
DIPLOMATIC EMISSARIES.—According to the
Czas, Air. Lawrence Oliphant, the well-known author and
British diplomatist, and the Hon. Evelyn Ashley, private
secretary to Lord Palmerston, have arrived at Cracow.

The Southampton papers record the death of
Lieutenant Hast, R.N., for many years the commodore
of the Royal Wcist India Nail Company's fleet.
