Anecdote of the French Elections.

A letter from Paris says—The brother of a high
functionary in Paris was started for one of the
northern districts at the last general election, which
began on Sunday, May 31. It is superfluous to
observe that a person with his nearest relative in so
exalted a station was not an Opposition candidate.
Being powerfully seconded in his canvass by all the
officials, he was returned by 29,067 votes. One of
the most active of his agents happened to be in the
principal town of the district at the moment the
peasants had just left the church after hearing mass-
About one hundred of them were standing ill
groups near the spot where the polling was going
on. They were simple-looking, fair-complexioned,
and round-faced--the very men on whom the elo-
quence of a bustling and devoted partisan would be
likely to tell. He accosted them, inquired after
their health and that of their mothers and sisters,
wives and children,in the most affectionate manner,
and ended by asking them whether they would take
a little refreshment after their walk on a warm day.
They smiled consent, and accepted tho invitation
with many thanks. Adjourning to a publichoesc
close by, the hospitable stranger ordered the publi-
Can to regale them plentifully with bread, cheese,
sausages, and wine. The order was complied with,
and they ate and drank their fill amid profusions of
thanks.

" It is not to me you owe thanks," said their
generous entertainer; "it is to M. X---, whose
affection for honest men like you is known to all the
country round, and who never think of you with
tears in his eyes."

" M. X-- is very good to think of us, and we
should be delighted to thank him in person for giv-
ing us such a good breakfast, only we don't know'
where to find him."

" My good friends, there is no occasion to give
yourselves any trouble. Mr. X-, who is the
wealthiest man living, is the Government candidate
for the district ; and if you really wish to show your
gratitude, you have only to step over the way and
drop your tickets in the ballot-box."
The peasants looked at each other with a very
puzzled air. "We would, sir, do that, or anything
else, to please so hospitable a gentleman ; but, we
are sorry to say, we cannot vote."

1° Cannot vote! How is that ? What do you
mean ? You haven't lost your civic rights, I hope ?
You look much too honest to have over incurred
such a misfortune."

" We are honest men, Sir, and we have never
done anything against the law; but the truth of the
matter is, we cannot vote because we are not French-
men ; we are Belgians."
" Belgians ! And you have eaten whole kilonlei
tres of my sausages, and drunk an entire cask
wine, and all for nothing ! You are a pack of
What he said was not heard, for be ran off amid
the laughter of the bystanders, vexed and ashamed,
and swearing, like Maitre Corbeau, " qu'on ne 1 y
prendrait plus." The Belgians returned to their
homes with high notions of French hospitality, but
since that day the impulsive agent cannot bear the
sight of a Belgian.

RE LATHEURY-ABSENCE OF COUNSEL.
This bankrupt was described as a cattle dealer, of Kentish-
town, and this was a meeting for last examination and dis-
charge.

Mr. Preston appeared for the bankrupt, and it was stated
that there was an opposition, but Mr. Sargood, who had
been retained for the opposing creditor, was engaged before
the Lords Justices on an appeal case, and an adjournment
was asked.

Mr, Preston opposed the application, on the ground that
it would be a hardship on the bankrupt to postpone the
case because the other side were not prepared.

Ills Honour said that no doubt the rule was to go on,
but, as Mr. Sargood was unavoidably absent, perhaps Mr.
Preston would consent to the case standing over,

Mr. Preston said he was desirous of showing every
courtesy to counsel, but he could not do so to the disadvan-
tage of his client.
Mr. Bazley soon after appeared for Mr. Sargood, and
pressed for the adjournment, and said that, in all the supe •
rior courts where counsel were absent, on an appeal from
that court it invariably postponed a case.

that, through the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GIIOST CLUB" is nightly held at the CAN—
TERBURY HALL. The object of the Club is not there-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London ; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient
pictures of the drama of real life, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux,
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best writers. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the " White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these life pictures will be
rapidly replace Iby others. The pages of Shakepere and the
el ler Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, Ingoldsby, Dickens, &C., &c.,
will, in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, &C. ; Comedy by Unsworth
(the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George Hodson, E.
Marshall, and George Hutchenson.

A CLASSIC TOlLETTE.—According to testimony,
which is scarcely to be disputed, the sun could
never have shone upon a less lovely object than a Roman
lady in the days of the Cassars, when she opened her. eyes
in the morning—or rather let us say, as she appeared nmorning, for before she opened her eyes a great deal had to
be done, When she retired to rest her face had been covered
with a plaster composed of bread and ass's milk, which had
dried during the night, and consequently presented in the
morning an appearance of cracked chalk. The purpose of
the ass's milk was not only to preserve the delicacy of the
skin, but to renovate the lungs, and so strong was the be'
lief in the efficacy of the specific, that some energetic ladies
bathed themselves in it 70 times in the course of a single daY.
As for Poppce3, the favourite wife of Nero, she never set
out on a journey without taking in her train whole herds of
she-asses, that she might bathe whenever she pleased
or so n
t°
do. The plaster of Paris bust having wakened in the m
ing in a cracked condition, it was the office of a hest of
female slaves to matut ait into perfect beauty. To clear the
field for further operations, the first of these gently washea
away with lukewarm ass's milk the already cruet
mask, mask, and left a smooth face, to be coloured by more recondite
artists. The slave, whose vocation it was to paint the
cheeks, delicately laid on the red and white, having
moistened the pigment with her own saliva. The apparent
nastiness of this operation was diminished by the constnar
tion of a certain number of scented lozenges, which, if the
slave neglected to take, she suffered corporeal punishment.

Gallant Act of an Officer of H.M.S. relorus,

On Wednesday morning, while the Pelorus, 21,
screw corvette, Capt. H. Boys, was proceeding from
the Hamoaze to the Government anchorage in the
Sound, one of her officers promptly availed himself
of an opportunity of rescuing a seaman that fell
overboard. The vessel had arrived about halfway
between Drake's Island and the Breakwater, and
under steam was going at full speed at the time of
the accident. She had just concluded firing a
salute, and a party of men were employed in pre-
paring the port boat boom for swinging, when
one of them, an ordinary seaman, named Haw-
kins, slipped his hold and fell over the side.
An alarm was immediately raised, when Sub
Lieutenant Moncreiff, who was on deck, rushed into
the after port hammock netting, and springing
overboard reached Hawkins in a few strokes, the
gallant officer being an expert and powerful swim-
mer. He had not delayed to divest himself of the
thick coat he was wearing, nor had even taken oft
his gloves, but supported the seaman with perfect
ease until the arrival of further help. The vessel's
boats were being towed astern with their crews it,
them, and their tow ropes being instantly cast
adrift, they proceeded to render assistance. Lieu-
tenant Moncrieff and Hawkins were picked up
by the captain's galley and conveyed on
board nothing the worse for the accident
beyond the ducking, which in the lieutenant's
case had the inconvenience of saturating his uni-
form and injuring by the water a valuable watch
which be was wearing. This gallant act, which
was witnessed by roost of the officers and crew,
needs no comment to point out its highly merito
rious character. It is to be hoped that it will be
noticed by the Admiralty in a substantial way.
Another officer of the ship, who saw Hawkins fait
overboard, was about to spring after him, but stayed
for a second to divest himself of his watch, and
before he had time to put his laudable intention into
practice Lieutenant Moncrieff had forestalled him.
The Pelorus will go out to-day to try her speed at
the measared mile, and it is probable she will
leave on Saturday next for her station, the East
Indies and China.—Western Morning News of
yesterday.

FRANCE•

The Legislative Body sat yesterday, Duke de
Moray in the chair. A letter was read from M.
Havin announcing that having been elected in the
department of the Seine and in that of the Manche,
he had decided on sitting for this last. The verifica-
tion of powers was then resumed. and on the election
of M. Roy de Loulay in the Charente-Inferieure,
observations were made by M. Kolb-Bernard,
M. Riche, the Marquis d'Andelarre, and M. Lubo-
nis, the reporter, after which the return was de-
c.ared to be valid. The same result was arrived at
for the election of M. Abbatucci in Corsica. On
the election of M. Bravay in the Gard, the report
of the bureau concluded in favour of annulling the
return, but at the request of that gentleman the
discussion was adjourned.
"We have good news," says the Gazette de
France, "to announce to the friends of Count de
Christen ; the end of his captivity has at length
arrived. We know from a sure source, and are
authorised to state, that his pardon is signed. We
should certainly have preferred justice rather than
pardon, the perfect knowledge of the facts having
enabled us to affirm that our countryman and friend
has been unjustly condemned ; in certain cases,
however, and this is one, it will not do to be over-
nice about words."

The Moniteur publishes a decree convoking the
departmental commission which performs the
functions of Council-General of the Seine, for their
ordinary session, on the 30th inst., and to close ot,
the 14th December. The bureau will be com-
posed as follows :—President—M. Dumas, Sena-
tor; Vice-Presidents—M. Ferdinand Barrot, Sena-
tor, and M. Chaim d'Est-Ange, Vice-President ot
the Council of State ; Secretary—M. Langlais,
Councillor of State ; and Vice-Secretaries—M.
Ernest Moreau and M. Maes.

in the second series of guests at Compiegne, left

FEVER, IN VIE METROPOLIS.

---- -
The remarks which we made a few weeks since
as to the probability of there being a great in-
crease of typhus in the metropolis during the pre•
sent winter are being verified. The number of
patients admitted into the London Fever Hospital,
which in the month of June did not exceed 89, in
October amounted to 236. Of the latter number
155 cases were typhus, 24 enteric fever, 30 scarlet
fever, one measles, one simple continued fever, and
25 examples of other acute diseases. During the
first 16 days of the present month no fewer than
170 cases were admitted, the grat majority of
which were typhus. The hospitale, which contains
200 beds, was full on the 9th of October, and since
that date large numbers of applicants have been

The daily refused admission for want of
The typhus patients are still mainly derived from
the south and east districts of the metropolis, and
especially from the parishes of Roth
ethithe, Ber-
mondsey, Lambeth, St. Saviour's
in-the-East. At the same time and St. George's-
, there are indica-
tions of the disease becomingmore
prevalent. Certain parishes, _ generally
as Shoreditch

INTERCOLONIAL ROYAL MAIL PACKET.

The report of the directors of this steampacket company
states that the receipts for the half-year ending June 30
amounted to V 1,241, and the expenditure to £36,282, leav-
ing a balance of £14,959. From this was deducted £5,400
for repairs, renewal, &c., leaving £9,559, out of which the
directors recommended a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent.
per annum, which would absorb £3,250, and leave £6,309
towards the amount to be appropriated for depreciation, re-
serve fund, &c., at the end of the yeal. The subsidies gua-
ranteed to the company have been raised from £35,800 per
annum to £36,600 per annum, in consequence of an exten-
sion in one of the colonial services.

CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN.

Notice of application to Parliament next session has been
given by this company for power to make a branch line,
seven miles in length, from Kid welly, by Mynddgarrig to
Limestone-hill, with a view to accommodate a large portion
of the lime producing district of Carmarthenshire ; and in
the expectation, if successful, that a very considerable
quantity of the traffic will pass over the company's main
line to places where limo is in great demand.

BANGOR AND LLANBERIS DIRECT.
On Wednesday an influential meeting in support of this
project was held at Bangor, Colonel Pennant, M.P., in the
chair.
Mr. DREW, on behalf of the promoters, explained that
the line would commence by a junction wich the Chester
and Holyhead Railway at the Bangor station,,and pass along
the south side of the valley for about two miles, when it
would diverge by way of Llandinorwig to Cwm-y-glo, and
up the side of the Padarn Lake to the Snowdonian village of
Llamberis. The line would accommodate a large agricul-
tural and mining population, and develope the immense
mineral resources of the district.
Mr. DOUGLAS, in moving a resolution pledging the meet-
ing to support the line, said it was so laid out as not unne-
cessarily to interfere with the rights of property, and had
already secured the cordial support of the entire district.
The line was about nine miles in length, could be cheaply
and expeditiously constructed, and would pay a fair rate of
dividend.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. Davies, and carried
unanimously.
The proceedings concluded with a vote thanks to the
chairman.

GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA,
The traffic receipts on this company's line for the week
ending the 31st of October amounted for local passengers to
—£l,6B3—foraign passengers, £1,270--emigrants, £los—

mails, &c., £s7s—local freight and live stock, £9,169—
timber and lumber, £1,306--firewood, £274—foreign freight
and live stock, £l,37B—total, £18,661—and for the corres-
ponding week of last year to £19,770, showing a decrease of
£l,llO. The total traffic receipts from July Ito the above
date amounted to £300,135, and for the same period of 1862
to £264,794, showing an increase of £35,340, or about 12i
per cent.
