better organized for braving the rugged ascent of mountains
and the miseries of famine, resulting from the flight of scat-
tered tribes. There was, however, one unfavourable circum-
stance with which you had to contend—namely, the difficulty
of meeting an enemy sufficient in number and possessed of
sufficient daring to brave the terrific harmony of your ten
living redoubts, comprising within a square enclosure 1,500
cavalry ready to fall upon adversaries dispersed by your
well-directed fire.

" With such means of success, be assured that your Gene-
ral had to struggle with himself before lie decided upon sign-
ing a treaty of peace with the Arabs. He has sacrificed upon
the altar of his country the intoxicating honour' (l'hon-
neur enivrant) of leading you once more into the midst of
that dense mass of horsemen, individually brave, but wanting
that combined force, without which large bodies of men are
only an incumbrance.
" Soldiers ! the part you have to act is now changed ; in-
stead of marching over the field of victory, burning and de-
stroying the harvest, you will have the pleasure of fertilizing
those very fields with your own hands, and by the protection
which you will afford to the agriculturists, instead of pursuing
the Arabs with fire and the sword, you will hold out to them
the example of a more useful labour ;_ you will teach them
how to construct roads, employ horses for other purposes than
war, build houses, sow artificial meadows, and plant the mul-
berry and the olive.
" With all your noble feelings you may rest assured that
the country will not be the less grateful for this portion of
your services than for the despatches of your victorious ex-
ploits. " BUGEAUD,
" Lieutenant-General and Commander of the Division."

Annexed is rather a curious commentary upon this
pacific address to the army. We copy it likewise from
a Paris Journal of Monday :

" We have the following letter from Bona of the Ist o
July On the 26th June, Colonel Duvivier, Commander of
the Camp at Ghelma, made a sally at the head of the troops
that he could dispose of. The columns marched in the direc-
tion of Constantina; some intimation had certainly been re-
ceived that a number of Arabs had assembled at the distance of
some leagues from the camp. In fact, our troops met with
some groups of cavalry and infantry ; they soon came to action,
and the enemy, after having lost a considerable number of
men, dispersed in all directions. We had four men killed on
the spot, and some wounded. Our troops acted with resolution.
This affair is a sufficient indication that Achmet Bey does not
think of disarming. It is said that he has at this time 15,000
men under arms. It would be a favourable moment to march
against Constantina."

The following are extracts from the Paris Evening
Papers of Monday :

Art extraordinary courier left the hotel of the Minister for
Foreign Affairs on Saturday evening for Madrid. He is the
bearer of important dispatches.
The Sentinelle des Pyrenees has the following paragraphs :
On the morning of the Bth inst. the 2d, sth, and 7th battalions
of Navarre marched from the valley of Echauri to the Ulzama,
where they arrived in the evening of the 9th ; very early in
the morning these same battalions, set out on their m2.rch to
the line of Tuberi, under the orders of General Tariateguy.
At six o'clock in the morning they attacked the garrisons of
Tuberi, Harras, and Larrasona, which bravely defended them-
selves. At sin the afternoon the firing still continued, but
we do not know what was the result of this attack.

On the Bth three battalions of Guipuscoa went to Vera and
Lcsaca, tearing that the troops at Iron would go to these
places. On the 12th, 400,000 reale de Vellor left Bayonne
for the corps of the army on the line of Errami.

ELECTION OF SCOTCH PEERS.—There was an
error in the Gazette Extraordinary with respect to the time
when the election for Scotch Peers is to take place—it is the
2501 of August and not September.

The undermentioned officers retired from the army
last week :—Captain Phillips, Cornet Rolstone, and Cornet
Steinbach, 3d Light Dragoons; Lieutenant-Colonel Gorre-
quer, 4th Foot ; Lieutenant-Colonel Cochran,:, loth Foot, on
half-pay ; Lieutenant Nowlen, 25th Foot ; Ensign Swift,
28th Foot ; Captain Davidson, 29th Foot ; Lieutenant Mac-
lean, 31it Foot ; Captain Flood and Lieutenant Rolles 51st
Foot ; and Lieutenant Johnson, half-pay Royal Artillery, to
become a settler in the colonies.—United Service Gazette.

Yesterday afternoon, while the Blenheim, Oxford
coach, was stopping at the Green Man and Still, in Oxford-
street, in order to take in some luggage, the horses, which
were very spirited, being left without any person at their
head, took fright at an omnibus, which passed with great ve-
locity, and darted off rapidly. A porter, named Jones, resid-
ing at the house, seeing the danger the passengers were in,
sprang forward at the risk of his life, and seized the leaders
in order to stop them, in attempting which he was thrown
down, trampled on by the horses, and in an instant he was
under the coach, and would have been crushed to death by
the wheels, had he not, with great presence of mind, contracted
his body so as to avoid them, and while in this position the
vehicle passed on without touching him. He was, however,
so much lacerated by the horses' hoofs as to render it neces-
sary to convey him to the Middlesex Hospital, where he at
present remains.

Yesterday morning, between four and five o'clock,
a fire broke out in the top floors of the soap warehouses of
of Messrs. Moote, Gloucester-terrace, Mile-end, which, from
the inflammable nature of the stock on the premises, spread
with a rapidity that for some time threatened the destruction
of the whole establishment. The alarm was instantly fur-
warded, and by five o'clock seven engines, with firemen, had
arrived, and, by dint of great exertions, they finally succeeded
in preserving the stock from destruction. The fire was not
extinguished till six o'clock. The building, stock, and fur-
niture of Mr. Amelang, a comb maker, adjoining Messrs.
Moate's, are likewise considerably damaged.
MALE DRESS-MAKERS.---" Woman !" he ex-
claimed, " you surely would never think of giving your dress
to a wpman to make ; it is men,—men do all the ladies' work
here. There is M. Reiche of the Schloss-passe, and M.
Franz Heyse, and M. —."—" Oh ! that will never do," I
nterrupted;—" a man dress-maker !—that would not suit us
English ladies—l must try and find out a work-woman."—
"Then I assure you," he said gravely, "your dress will be ut-
terly spoiled—there is no woman in Dresden can do such a
thing, and if you give her your stuff you will not get it back
before a fortnight. No, no,—l will give you the addresses of
some excellent tailors. Why so scrupulous ? all the German
ladies employ them, I assure you. Don't let your materials be
spoiled by a woman."—A Summer in Germany.
Mr. Bullock, of Roddington, in this county, was
killed on Wednesday evening, at the Old Heath, by a fall
from his horse, in returning homewards from our fair.
Shrewsbury Chronicle.

About eleven o'clock on Saturday night last, the
15th instant, a fellow decently dressed walked into the shop
of Mrs. Death, milliner, No. 83, Aldgate, and deliberately
took a packet of black crape off the counter (which a young
lady had only that instant taken from the shelf), and in the
presence of several persons, whose attention was momentarily
arrested from the spot, while a youth, an accomplice, detained
the errand.bov,y who was shutting up the shop, in conversa-
tion, with his back to the door, when the robber bolted down
Houndsditch, and eluded pursuit.
SOMETHING NEW TO LONDONERS.—A Cal-
cutta paper (in the Calcutta and Saugor railway interest we
shrewdly suspect,) informs its readers, that " the south side
of the Greenwich Railway is planted with various forest trees,
and forms a delightful walk for the citizens of London."___

The Chemical Chair of the London University
College, vacant through the lamented demise of Professor
Tuner, has been conferred on Mr. Graham, the Andersonian
Professor of Chemistry at Glasgow. A better selection could
scarcely have been made. Mr. Graham was first made favour-
ably known to chemical philosophers by his discovery of the
law of gaseous diffusion. He established by well devised ex-
periments, the conformity of gases flowing through minute
orifices, to the universal physical law that determines the is-
suing velocities of non-elastic fluids. During the last five
years he has been diligently engaged in elaborate inquiries
into the constitution of the salts, with especial reference to the
functions of their watery element, and has already published
some results that are considered by good judges to affect ma-
terially the higher doctrines of chemical philosophy.—Mecha-
nics' Magazine.
Among the numerous victims that the cholera has
lately carried off at Naples, few are mentioned with more re-
gret in the letters we have seen from Italy than Count Leo-
pardi, who died On the 28th ult., at the age of 38. He was of
a noble and ancient family in the Marcl; of Ancona, but for
many years past he had devoted himself entirely to literary pur-
suits, and the enjoyment of a private circle of friends. He
was alike distinguished for poetic talent and profound erudi-
tion, two qualities rarely combined, but of which his works,
which have already passed through three editions, afford many
convincing proofs. His weak state of health made him an
easy victim to the epidemic; but on the eve of death, being
perfectly conscious of his approaching en I, he afforded a singu-
lar proof of his pre-occupation for literary pursuits. On the
day in question he dictated to his friend Rarnieri the last canto
of a satirical poem, " I Paralipomeni della Batrachoreioma-
cilia di Ornero," in which he investigates what, in our days,
ought to be the subjects of quarrel between the rats and the
frogs. On the day on which our author died, the number of
deaths exceeded 500.
