which Anak, the great French giant, appeared, and gave
immense satisfaction to the distinguished party and a
crowded audience.

SIR CHARLES WOOD.—From the latest accounts
received of the health of Sir Charles Wood there
is good reason to hope that ho will not be confined to his
room for more than a few days in consequence of his recent
accident. Dr. Kenyon, his medical attendant, after a care-
ful examination, reports that the injury to the head is
confined to an abrasion of the skin, the principal injury
sustained being the shock to the system occasioned by the
sudden fall from his horse and his being thrown against
the wall. Dr. Kenyon believes that his recovery in a few
days may be fairly anticipated. The presentation of the
Halifax testimonial to Sir Charles will take place shortly.
On the severance of his connection with the borough at

am anxious to tell you how satisfied I have been with my
visit to Korn er-Houet. You have now lived seven years
in a country but recently almost uncultivated, amid worthy
Bretons, having in view the progress of agriculture and the
increase of the population which surrounds you. The
success you have obtained by an exemplary perseverance
deserves all my eulogies, and in encouragingyou to continue,
I renew to you the assurance of my sincero friendship.—
Your affectionate cousin, NAPOLEON."

NOMINATION OF SllERlFFS.—Yesterday morning
the nomination of sheriffs for the various counties of
England and Wales, with the exception of Lancashire and
Cornwall, took place in the Court of Exchequer, which was
crowded with visitors to witness the ceremony. The Right
Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., Chancellor of the Exchequer,
habited in his magnificent gold robes of office, took his
place on the bench, being accompanied by the Lord Chan-
cellor, the Earl Granville, President of the Council ; Sir G.
Grey, Bart., M.P., Secretary of State for tho Home Depart-
ment ; Sir Alex. Cockburn, Bart., Lord Chief Justice of
England; Sir Wm. Erle, Lord Chief Justice of the Court
of Common Pleas; Sir Frodk. Pollock, Lord Chief Baron
of the Exchequer ; Mr. Baron Channel', Mr. Baron Bram-
well, Mr. Baron Pigott, Mr. Justice Mellor, Mr. Justice
Shoe, &c. The oath was administered to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer and the other distinguished persons
present by the Queen's Remembrancer in the quaint old
Norman French, after which he read out the counties of
England and Wales in alphabetical order, and then the
names of those gentlemen who were returned last year aS
liable to serve the office of sheriff, one of them having been
subsequently "pricked" as sheriff by the Queen in Council.
His name was subsequently struck off the list, and another
added by the judge who last went the circuit in which the
county is situate. The counties of England and Wales
were then gone over seriatim, and the names of three gen-
tlemen from each county were handed over to the Queen's
Remembrancer, to be by him enrolled as liable to serve the
office next year. The pricking will take place by the
Queen in Council in January, and the gentlemen in each
county upon whom the lot falls will in February enter
upon his year of shrievalty. Many curious excuses were
as usual tendered by gentlemen who wished to escape ser-
vice. Ina fow cases only the excuses were held to be
valid, and then the names were struck out, others being
substituted; but where the objector did not make out a
strong case the name was retained. When the lists for
England and Wales were completed, the members of the
Government and learned judgesretired from the court.

MR. WARREN DE LA RUE'S LUNAR PIIOTO-
GRAPHS are not only interesting as pictures of Our
satellite, but are' found to be of great importance in a scien-
tific point of view, for an eminent astronomer has declared
that, in rectifying our knowledge.of the moon, snore has
boeu accomplished by these photographs in one hour than
by forty years' observation of occultations. This is a pro-
mising corroboration of what has been already remarked
concerning photography, that it will become of essential
importance to astronomical science. For example, the
moon's libration is a phenomenon of which the observation
has long overtaxed the patience and ingenuity of observers:
but with photography it will be at once comparatively
easy and exceedingly accurate. Henceforth a photo-
graphic department will have to form part of every goo('
observatory,
