THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL FOR JULY
is entitled to particular attention from all classes of readers,
on account of the various articles it contains applicable to
the present period. It opens with one of peculiar interest
at this time, when the Eastern question threatens the peace
of Europe entitled " Sketch of the Rise and Prijgress of
Mehemet Ali, with a view of the Affairs of Turkey and
Egypt." In this paper the interesting and 'extraordinary
career of the Pacha of Egypt is amply detaAed, the events
which brought about the present position of affairs in Sy-
ria clearly laid down, and the policy of 7england ably indi-
cated. In the " Records of an Expe:lition up the Quorra
with Lander," the manners, customs, and feelings of the
sable monarchs, courts, and people of a district lying
on the banks of the once mysterious Niger, are described
with infinite humour and spirit. The " Notes on the Mi-
litary Establishments of the United States," are full of
information on a subject which has, hitherto been strangely
neglected in this country, but which is hero discussed in
its minutest details. Sir G. Temple concludes his "Sketch
of the Campaign of I:;.ostantineh in 1837," which,
throughout has teemed .erith learning, knowledge of mili-
tary tactics, and great descriptive powers. Not the least
valuable contribution to this number is an originP.l letter,
eminently characteristic, from the great Lord Col►.ingwood,
written a few days after the Battle of Trafalgar, to Sir
Peter Porker, which settles the question as to the possi-
bility of the whole fleet anchoring after that glorious vic-
tory. Besides these are a variety of other interesrting
papers.

HAMBURG, JUNE 2G.—The Pelersburg/i Ga-
zette gives an account of the burning of the manufacturing
town of Iwanowo : 271 wooden and 42 stone houses, 28
wooden and 23 stone manufactories, arc reduced to ashes.
The loss is estimated at 3,580,000 roubles. Iwanowo is a
village belonging to Count Scheremetriew, and is very
near to Ikonnikone, another village belonging to the same
Nobleman, to which the flames extended, and destroyed
106 houses and three manufactories.
The Geological Society of France have decided
that their extraordinary meeting shall be held this year at
Boulogne-sur-Mer, on the Bth of September.
EARLY HARVEST.—.-There is a small field of
barley on the Canal-side, in the neighbourhood of
the Links, which is in such a state of forwardness, as to
lead us to anticipate an early conclusion to the labours of
the husbandman —the stems generally -being from two to
two and a-half feet long, and showing a fine long ear,
which the present rains will tend to fill rapidly. —Aberdeen

orgneotnh:t

The President (to Barbcs)—You have heard the pre-
ceding depositions. Have you anything to say ?
Barbes—l should have much to say, but my situation
does not allow me.

President—filere is no political situation which can
justify your silence. I must, for humanity's sake, call upon
you to refute the testimony adduced. In no country of the
world can there be any political situation which can autho.
rise a citizen to place himself at the head of armed men to
attack and kill soldiers without a declaration of war.
Since you speak of war, and certainly I do not admit of
the possibility of such a war, you must know that even in
an ordinary war there is always a kind of declaration of it.
Ido not admit of a civil war in any case. But cold-
blooded murder ought to be avoided by even men who
fight in a civil war. In this case you have placed yourself
at the head of men who have committed assassinations.
Barbes (with calmness and dignity)—,I have not the
slightest intention of entering into a political discussion
with you. We should not understand each other.
In resitect to my defending myself before you,
I have already said that it did not suit me. When the
Indian is vanquished—when the fortune of war has placed
him in the hands of his enemy—he does not think of de.
fending himself—he has not recourse to vain and useless
words—he is resigned, and presents his head to the toma-
hawk. Ido like the Indian—take my head.
This produced a great sensation; the President vas
about to address Barbes, but seemed confused, and at
length asked the prisoner's counsel if they had any ques-
tions to put to the witnesses.
M. Arago, jun., Barbes' Counsel, then pointed out
several discrepancies in the deposition of Meunier, and the
evidence he gave before the Court. The Procurear- Ge-
neral was also dissatisfied with the wi.ness, as he had difs
fered in Court from what he had deposed to before the
Juge &Instruction.
The President then called M. Guyot, who had been
cited by Barbes' Counsel. The evidence was curious.
He deposed to having seen a troop of men come out of
the Prefecture of Police on the 12th of May, composed of
sergens de vile, and men dressed in plain clothes, but all
armed. The Captain asked Guyot to give his services as
a surgeon, which he did, and on entering the Court he
saw seven or eight brigades, armed and dressed in the
same manner, so that it was impossible to distinguish them
from the insurgents. M. Guyot again said they ought to
guard the interior.
Henri Leinonnier and Jean Baptiste Dubaz deposed to
the same facts.
M. Arago then gave notice that lie should call some
witnesses, and the Court rose at half-past five, and ad-
journed till to-morrow (Sunday).
FOURTH DAY.—.SUNDAY, JUNE 30.
The preliminary formalities were the same as usual.
The prisoner Nougues was the first called upon, and he
underwent a very strict examination from the President.
He declined answering any questions but such as regarded
him personally. He said that if the Court expected to
get anything from him which might implicate any of the
prisoners around him, that they would find themselves
egregiously mistaken. lie avowed his culpability. He
acknowledged having been a member of secret societies,
and that he had combated against the King's troops. That
it was one political body fighting against another; that the
party reprosented by the Court before him having tri-
umphed, he, as one of the vanquished, threw himself on
Vie generosity of the victor, further than that he declined
making answer.
It may be remembered that Nougues shortly after his
capture turned King's evidence, and made important re.
velations relative to the secret societies of the Saissons.
Our readers will probably remember that he deposed that
there were three chiefs or annecs (years), viz. Armand.
Barbes, Martin Bernard, and Auguste Blanqui. He now
states that the revelations were drawn from him because he
thought Barbes was dying, that Blanqui had escaped to
England, and that Martin Bernard was dead, otherwise he
should not have said anything to implicate them.
The President then asked him if he meant to retract his
evidence, and thus stand self-convicted of perjury? To
this the prisoner replied that he should not have said any-
thing to implicate the three abovementioned conspirators
had le thought they had been living. He declined mak-
ing any further reply.
President—You decline answering then ?
Prisoner-1 do.

DEAFNESS.—At length this dreadful mala is completely obviated, without torture and serious risk by
medical treatment. The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons,
39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, have constructed a
Voice Conductor, the size of a seven-shilling piece, which,
when fixed into the cavity of the ear, is soft, easy, and not
more uncomfortable ncr perceptible than having a piece of
wool in its place ; and that which is deserving the public
attention and approbation is, that an individual in company
may place it in the ear and remove it unobserved. It pours
into the ear the general conversation to such an ettent that,
in the most severe cases, sufferers are enab!ed to hear the
slightest whisper at a public assembly. Their newly-
invented Spectacle Lenses, immediately ',:hey are placed
before imperfect vision, bring it at once l'.tck to its original
and natural state, and the most mini:,te particle is seen,
either by day or candle light, &All exact distinctness.
Those valuable improvements in tle materials are secret to
themselves, and are solely cot-v.:tiled to their establishment,
39, Albemarle-street. No agents nor travellers arc em-
ployed.
