SHERIDAN.

At one of the early performance; at Drury Lane, in one
of the stage boxes, sat the fretful critic, Cumberland, who,
amidst the general laughter, was observed not once to smile.
When the comedy was concluded, he incautiously remarked
to a friend, " I am much surprised that the audience should
laugh so immoderately at what could not make me smile."
This was told to Sheridan, who coolly observed that Cum-
berland was truly ungrateful for not smiling at his comedy,
as he had seen a tragedy of Cumberland's at Covent Gar•
-
den Theatre, not a fortnight before, and had laughed from
the beginning to the end. Tom Sheridan and his father
had many a pass of wit. One night, as they were supping
a pahlreiostsaidin' ,the House of Commons aretha
together, just when Tom expected to getrocZ Parliament,moenwhoere

"Ig e

ment,pledge myself to no party, but write upon my
forehead, in legible characters, 'To be let.' " " And under
that, Tom," said his father, "write Unfurnished.' " Tom
took the joke but soon repaid it. One day, meeting two
a
royal dukes walking up St. James'-street, the youngest
thus flippantly addressed him : " I say, Sherry, we have

Being on a Parliamentary
committee, he one day entered the room when all the mem-

table with a droll expression of countenance, said, " Will

FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY,

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes a letter from
General de Montauban requesting the Emperor to
withdraw the bill granting him an annuity, as it
had met with opposition in the Corps Legislatif.
" However small may be my income," says General
de Montauban, " I should be much grieved to see
the idea of the Emperor and the glory of the army
turned into a discussion personal to myself."
The following is the Emperor's reply, also pub
lished in the 11Ioniteur

" Paris, Feb. 220862.

" My dear General,—The request which you make to me
to withdraw the bill of dotation is inspired to you by a
sentiment which I honour ; but I shall not withdraw the
bill. The Legislative Body may, if it pleases, not think
worthy of an exceptional reward the leader of a handful
of heroic soldiers who, amidst so many difficulties and dan-
gers, forgotten on the morrow of success, went to the end
of the world to plant the flag of France in the capital of
an empire of 200,000,000 souls ; a leader who, while main-
taining the dignity and independence of his command, un-
derstood how to preserve the most useful and friendly re-
lations with our allies.
" Every man is free to take his own view of the matter.
As far as I am concerned, I wish the country and the army
to know that, compelled to be a judge of military and poli-
tical services, I have wished to honour by a national done -
tion an unexampled enterprise. Great actions are most
easily performed where they are best appreciated, and de-
generate nations alone dole out public gratitude.
" Receive, my dear General, the assurance of my sincere
friendship. " NAPOLEON."
BOURSE, Feb. 22.—The market has been heavy,
and stocks having been rather offered, the business
done has been for the most part at a decline on the
closing rates of the previous day. Threes, for the
Account, are now at 70f. 30c. Railway Market
also heavy, but previous prices pretty well main-
tained.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL

For the time of year the supply of foreign stock here to-
day was moderate, and in fair condition.
The show of home-fed beasts was seasonably exten-
sive as to number, and, with very exceptions, of prime
quality. All breeds met a very dull sale at a decline in
the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 4d per Blbs.
The highest quotation for Scots was 4s 6d, and some re.
markably good beasts changed hands at 4s 4d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,360 Scots, short horns and crosses; from other
parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 400
Scots end crosses ; and from Ireland 280 oxen and heifers.
About an average supply of sheep was brought forward
in fair suitable condition. On the whole, the mutton trade
ruled steady at last week's currency. The best old Downs
realised 5s 6d per 81bs, clipped sheep sold at 8d per 81bs
beneath that quotation.
Lambs moved off steadily at 7s 4d per 81bs. There were
about 160 in the pens.
Calves—the supply of which was limited—moved off
slowly. Prices, however, were supported. The top price
was 5s 10d per 81bs.
We have to report a dull inquiry for pigs at barely last
week's quotations.

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising* from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success ra every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.
Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at 11s., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Trout
and Co., Patent Medicine Warehouse, 229, Strand, London.

The Prince Consort's last gift to her Majesty the
Queen, it is interesting to learn, was the very last
picture purchased by his Royal Highness, namely,
the " Lesbia" of Mr. Augustus Bouvier. This fact
has been touchingly elicited within the last few
days in consequence of the artist's very naturally
expressed desire that he might be permitted to dis-
play this latest artistic choice of our lamented Prince
in the forthcoming Exhibition. In answering this
application, Sir Charles Phipps, by command of her
Majesty, has intimated to Mr. Bouvier that his
" Lesbia" being the last gift made by the Prince
Consort to the Queen, her Majesty cannot think
(even for a time) of parting with it. The honour of
a refusal so exquisitely gratifying to the artist is
beyond any that could have resulted to him from
her Majesty's gracious compliance under other cir-
cumstances.

A learned pundit, named C. N. Robertson, hap,
we understand, been very recently giving, if he is
not actually still giving, a course of instruction
" constituting" (as his own printed programme has
it) " Initiation into the Eleusinian and Osirian Mys-
teries !" In proof that the lecturer is at least

to begin with a ripe scholar, the Rev. Dr. Major, of
King's College, has written to him, and of him,
under date the 19th October, 1861 :
" Having listened with much interest to the explanation
and results of your profound researches into Ancient Mytho-
logy, I have no hesitation in stating my conviction that you
have obtained a clue to the unravelling of all the perplexities
and incoherencies in which the subject (to a superficial ob-
server) appears to be involved."

Coining from the authoritative hand of the Rev.
Dr. Major, of King's College, these words are at
any rate calculated to awaken the curiosity of
those interested in these recondite studies.

THE HARTLEY COLLIERY FUND.--The total
amount received at the Mansion-house, by the Lord
Mayor, in aid of the fund for the relief of the widows and
orphans of the sufferers by the accident at the Hartley
Colliery, up to Saturday evening, Was about £18,350,
of
which more than. £250 came to hand during Friday and

The building of 13 others has been suspended. The num-

The Prince Consort's last gift to her Majesty the
Queen, it is interesting to learn, was the very last
picture purchased by his Royal Highness, namely,
the " Lesbia" of Mr. Augustus Bouvier. This fact
has been touchingly elicited within the last few
days in consequence of the artist's very naturally
expressed desire that he might be permitted to dis-
play this latest artistic choice of our lamented Prince
in the forthcoming Exhibition. In answering this
application, Sir Charles Phipps, by command of her
Majesty, has intimated to Mr. Bouvier that his
" Lesbia" being the last gift made by the Prince
Consort to the Queen, her Majesty cannot think
(even for a time) of parting with it. The honour of
a refusal so exquisitely gratifying to the artist is
beyond any that could have resulted to him from
her Majesty's gracious compliance under other cir-
cumstances.
A learned pundit, named C. N. Robertson, has,
we understand, been very recently giving, if he is
not actually still giving, a course of instruction
"constituting" (as his own printed programme has
it) " Initiation into the Eleusinian and Osirian Mys-
teries !" In proof that the lecturer is at least
to begin with a ripe scholar, the Rev. Dr. Major, or
King's College, has written to him, and of him,
under date the 19th October, 1861 :
" Having lisiened with much interest to the explanation
and results of your profound researches into Ancient Mytho-
logy, I have no hesitation in stating my conviction that you
have obtained a clue to the unravelling of all the perplexities
and incoherencies in which the subject (to a superfic

server) appears to be involved."
Coming from the authoritative hand of the Rev.
Dr. Major, of King's College, these words are at
any rate calculated to awaken the curiosity of
those interested in these recondite studies.
THE HARTLEY COLLIERY FUND.—The total
amount received at the Mansion-house, by the Lord
Mayor, in aid of the fund for the relief of the widows and
orphans of the sufferers by the accident at the Hartley
Colliery, up to Saturday evening, was about £18,350, of
which more than £250 came to hand during Friday and
Saturday.

LADVERTISEMENT.j—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
Pains in the Limbs.—Muscular pains are sometimes in-
' sufferably distressing. Though they may not impair the
general health at first, ultimately such must be their effect
if permitted to continue unrelieved. It should be generally
known that after fomentation with
affected warm salt and water.
Holloway's Ointment well rubbed upon the part
twice a day gives infinite ease and secures ultimate re-
covery. Holloway's Ointment should also be taken to
astist in the cure ; they prevent all weak and numb feelings
so apt to prevail after neuralgic attacks. A lady writes,
" After suffering a martyrdom from tic doloreux, and
obtaining no relief from the faculty, I tried your Ointment
and Pills, and rejoice to say they quickly cured me."

The following important circular has been issued
from the Horse Guards, addressed to the infantry:—

" Feb. 12, 1862.
" It having come to the knowledge of the General Corn-
raanding-in-Chief tlat in some regiments men are selected
for flank companies, his Royal Highness desires that this
practice may be immediately discontinued.

" In those regiments where the companies are not equally
sized and interchangeable, the flank companies are to be
broken up and distributed through the battalion.
"To insure this, his Royal Highness desires that the
several companies shall stand on parade habitually accord-

viz., the senior captain oz the right, next senior on the left,

" General officers will see the above strictly attended to,

TAKING TIME.—A return which, on the motion

in Scotland, in 1860, shows that some of them had been in
dependence for 16, 17, 19, 20, 24, and one for 31 years. It
smaks of the good old times when Mackitchinson in " The

MR. JOHN SCOTT.

The current number of Bailey'sHonthly Magazine gives
the following admirable biography of John Scott :
With our April number we present to our readers the
portrait of one who, by force of his position, acquired by
rare ability and uncompromising integrity, has foe the last
30 years occupied more attention in the racing world than
any other of his class, and who is still recognised at the
chief trainer of England, and consequently of the world.
Familiar as the public are with the portraits of John Scott,
we imagine there can be but one opinion, that he has never
been given to the world so happily as in the present instance ;
and the artists, Messrs. Southwell, are the more to be con-
gratulated upon their succeFs, seeing that their subject sat
to them the day after he had received the melancholy
tidings of the burning of Klarikoff, and the destruction of a
