We earnestly recommend the cases related by Dr. Courtenay
to the perusal of sucli of our readers as are afflicted with the com-
plaints which the author has made the subject of these observations.
Several instances are adduced of the recovery of perfect health from
states which were considered hopeless by practitioners of eminent
talents and very extensive experience. We entertain the highest
opinion of Dr. Courtenay's professional skill, and congratulate him
on his successful and judicious application to these severe and often fatal diseases. "—European Magazine

POST-OFFICE.—We have examined the new stamp-
covers for letters, which Mr. Wallace has sent to the Ex-
change-rooms for inspection. They are a very neat and
simple contrivance ; and, were the principle extended to
every part of the empire, and we may say to every part of
the world, the convenience of the public generally, and
especially the trading portion of the people, would be con-
sulted in a matter which concerns them more nearly than
can be appreciated under the present high postage charges.
We strongly recommend every person connected with trade
to examine these covers, and read Mr. Hill's pamphlet,
from whom the recommendation comes, and to prepare
themselves for. petitioning garliament the very day it meets
for the adoption generally of Mr. Hill's plan. We cannot
pass over Mr. Wallace's claims to public gratitude in this
matter, as, but for the exposure he has made of the mis-
management of the Post-office, neither Mr. Hill nor any
other man would have been listened to. We farther thank
Mr. Wallace for bringing the stamp-covers out for practical
examination, as by much the most convincing mode of going
to work in any practical measure.—Glasgow Chronicle.
ESCAPE FROM A TIGER.-Lieut. F. Hughes, of
the ith Light, Cavalry, had a narrow escape from a tiger on
the 23d of March, between the stations of Jubblepore and
Kampttee. He was in the act of stooping to get a flower
from the jungle, about two hundred yards from the road-
side, when he heard a rustling noise behind him. He im-
mediately turned his head to see what it was, when he be-
held a huge tiger within a few yards of him. In the fright
and hurry of the moment, when endeavouring to rise, he
trod on the skirts of his dressing gown, and fell backwards.
He was at the same moment seized by the brute, which
caught him over the waistband of his trousers in its mouth.
In this position the beast was dragging him when he got his
hand into his pocket and drew a small double-barrelled
pistol, which he placed as direct for the animal's mouth as
the position in which he lay would admit, fired, and in an
instant was free ; for the tiger made a tremendous spring
forward, carrying with it the clothes which it grasped.

DISGRACEFUL SCENE.—We learn that the Ger-
man Reformed Church, in Forsyth-street, was yesterday
desecrated by a scene of violence and disorder, reflecting
the deepest disgrace on all parties concerned in it. The
following are the leading particulars as they have been com-
municated to us :—About eleven o'clock two Clergymen,
followed by their respective friends, simultaneously entered
the church and made for the pulpit. On reaching the sacred
desk, the passage was mutually disputed vi et armis, and
sticks and clubs were put freely in requisition, being sup-
plied by breaking up the rails round the altar. Possession
of the pulpit was gained alternately by both parties, and
both parties alternately dislodged. While matters were in
this frightful state of victory and defeat, the alarm-bell
was rung, and the firemen rushed to the spot, determined,
we believe, to throw cold water upon the fiery valour of the
Reverend Belligerents. In the meantime, however, a
strong party from the police-office parted the combatants,
cleared the church, and closed it, very much to the dissa-
tisfaction of both parties. The Clergymen are said to have
fought like very Bluchers, having their clerical garments
torn to rags, and one of them retiring with a remarkably
bloody nose, received ad ostium ecclesice. On the whole,
it is the grossest outrage that has ever occurred in this
country, and it is mortifying to record a transaction so
deeply disgraceful to the city, and especially to the Minis-
ters of religion engaged in it. If any of the particulars
here given are exaggerated or erroneously stated in any
respect, they shall be corrected with greater pleasure than
we here give them.—New York Paper.
DRANI-DRINICING.—A hundred years ago the
inhabitants of the metropolis were grievously addicted to
drunkenness (particularly the lower classes), as may be ima-
gined from the fact that there were then three times as
many houses open for the sale of spiritous liquors as there
are now, although the town then was little more than a
third of the size it is at present. The following is an ac-
count of the houses of this description in 1736 :—lnns,
207 ; taverns, 447 ; coffee-houses, 551 ; ale-houses, 5,975 ;
brandy-shops, 8,659—t0tal 1.5 839. The population at
that time, according to Price, was about 630,000, whereas
,
the quantity of gin consumed annually amounted to
7,000,000 gallons ; on the other hand the population in
1835 was 1,776,500, and the number of houses of this de-
scription did not exceed 5,000, from which it would appear
that there were, at the former period, nine times as many
spirit shops in the metropolis as there are at the present
time, in proportion to the population.—London as It is.
M. Cousin, the well known picture dealer in Paris,
bought at the auction at the Hotel de Maille, in the month
of April last, for 59 francs, a picture which, on examining
it at his own house, he was soon convinced was a gem of
seine value. lie entertained no doubt that it was an ori-
ginal Raphael, worth at least 100,000 francs. This cir-
cumstance was talked of, and it was found that the picture
in question belonged to one of the Royal Palaces, and had
been sold by the auctioneer through a mistake. This affair
will probably lead to two lawsuits. The French Govern-
ment claim the picture from the heirs of the Duke de
Maille, or a pecuniary indemnification of 20,000 francs
The family of M. de Maille, on the other hand, call on M.
Cousin to restore the picture, which he refuses to do. It
seems that M. Cousin has much over-estimated the value
of his prize. The picture is only a copy, the original timing
preserved at Dusseldorf.
