According to the Guardian, " The Emperor 113°
sent to this country five presentation copies of his
' Life of Julius Caesar,' with his autograph in each. Ilre
have reason to believe that of these copies one has been
presented by him to her Majesty, another to Lord Pal-
merston, another to Lord Malmesbury, and another to Sir
Henry Holland. Of the destination of the fifth copy,
are not informed." Perhaps the mystery in the Guardians
view as to the destination of this fifth copy may be e'r
plained by the fact that the Emperor has expressed his
satisfaction with Mr. Wright, his English translator, 11
sending him a special copy of the Imperial edition—QuerYt

A TOLERABLY LARGE BATCH OF PROMOTIONS 114
THE ORDER OF -THE BATH will be announced in 3
few days, in which the names of several prominent mem-
bers of the naval and military professions will aPPe,i.ar.
Among the officers selected for the Grand Cross—wir°
highest grade—we understand that Admirals Sir
T. 7.
Stewart, Sir Frederick Grey, Sir James Hope, Sir 'I"
Chads, and Generals Sir G. Wetheral, Sir Wm. Codria:
ton, Sir James Jackson, Sir F. Love, and Lord Melville
are most likely to be included. For the distinction
Knight Commanders, the following will in all probabiliti
be selected :—Admirals Smart, Austin, and Dacres;
rals W. Wood, T. Konah, W. Cator, T. Reed, John Scott'
C. A. Windham, Lord W. Paulet, Hon. A. Spencer, and
Dupuis ; and Colonels J. W. Gordon (Royal Engineers)'
E. H. Greathed, and C. W. Staveley, of the 44th Regt'
Lieut.-General Graham, of the Royal Marine Light iefa3:
try; Dr. Gibson, the head of the Army Medical Department'
and Mr. W. T. Power, the headof the Commissariat Depart-
ment, with a couple of general officers belonging to 11.310
Indian Army, will, we balieve, be also found among t'L
new K.C.B.'s. The names we have mentioned include
some gallant and respected officers, whose services we1 1
deserve honour ; but we confess the presence of others _
the batch makes us distrustful of our own impressions el
the objects for which promotion in the Bath has been©
generally speaking, given, and for which it ought to
given ; but upon this subject we can come to a better celle.

SEQUEL TO THE EDMUNDS' SCANDAL.—Anothert
scandal, says the Queen, has now branched out 0,1
this one—to the effect that the Prince of Wales has asked
the Lord Chancellor for Mr. Edmunds' vacated office of
t
Reading Clerk, on behalf of a friend of his own, and tbal
the Chancellor refused very curtly ; also, that his Plat
Highness invited the Lord Chancellor to call upon hitt` aci
Marlborough House, but was somewhat roughly repels:a
by that dignitary. The somewhat affected indepeedelip,
of Lord Westbury is well known, but we should scar is, ce
imagine it could reach to such heights as this. Thera tit
indeed, a story on record. that when the Prince egle
wanted a military appointment for a friend, he once ea l e
t.e
the late Duke of Wellington "Arthur"—whereupon 1"_0
Iron Duke went home straightway, and gazetted some '134
else for the place.

New Bailey Prison, Salford, Manchester, received::

for the murder of Mr. Tilley, late landlord of the Glebe
public-house.
