there shall be charged and taken, in lieu of any rates
of postage now payable by law on such letters, an uni-

above the weight of three ounces shall be charged as one
additional ounce ; and each progressive and additional
rate, chargeable under this clause, shall be estimated
and charged at the sum which any such letter would be
charged with under this warrant, if not exceeding half
an ounce in weight.
And we further direct, that in respect of letters sent
by any non-commissioned officers, sergeants, corporals,
drip: mere, fifers, private soldiers, or seamen, under the
regulations of this warrant, the following conditions shall
be observed (that is to say), upon each such letter shall
be superscribed the name of the writer, and his class or

which he shall belong ; and upon every such letter there
shall be written in the handwriting of, and signed by,
the officer having at the time the command of the regi-
ment, detachment, or vessel, to which the privileged
person belongs, the name of such officer and the name

or any non-commissioned officers, private soldiers, or
seamen, the following conditions shall be observed, that
is to say : the postage of each such letter posted in the
United Kingdom shall be pre-paid, either in money or

the time of the same being posted ; and as to letters re-
ceived by any non-commissioned officers, private sol-
diers, or seamen, each letter shall be directed to the pri-
vileged person, specifying on the superscription thereof
the regiment, detachment, or vessel to which he shall
belong.
And we further direct, that if in any case the condi-
tions hereinbefare prescribed be not complied with, the
letter shall be charged with the same rate of postage as
if this warrant had not been signed.
And we further direct, that all letters which shall be
sent by the post under the regulations of this warrant
shall be subject, in addition to the British rates hereby
fixed, to the payment of any foreign postage which may
be chargeable thereon.
And we further direct, that the several terms and ex-
pressions used in this warrant shall be construed to have
the like meaning in all respects as they would have had
if inserted in the said recited act.
Provided lastly, and we hereby declare and direct, that
it shall be lawful for the Commissioners for the time
being of her Majesty's Treasury, or any two of them, by
warrant under their hands, at any time hereafter, to alter
or repeal any of the rates hereby altered, or the regula-
tions hereby made, and to make and establish any new
or other rates or regulations in lieu thereof, and from
time to time to appoint at what time the rates that may

[A.DvEuTrantiarr.]—Medicine always aggravates chronic
diseases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual constipa-
tion, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, consumption,

invariably cures them in a very short time. We extract
a few out of 50,000 testimonials of cures, which had
resisted all medicines. Cure No. 180. " Twenty-five

Last week the births of 779 boys and 763 girls, in all
1,542 children, were registered in London. In the eight
corresponding weeks of the years 1345.52 the average
number was 1,397.
At the Royal observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 30.036 in. The mean
daily reading was above 30 in. on the last four days, and
on Thursday rose so high as 30-367 in. The reading of
the barometer increased to 30.44 in. at 9 h. a.m. on

on Wednesday.

(Front the Report of the Registrar-General.)
The returns for last week from the metropolitan dis-
tricts furnish evidence of a steady, if not a rapid, im-
provement in the public health. The deaths, which
numbered 1532 in the previous week, declined to 1394 in
that which ended last Saturday. But the mortality still
exceeds the average of former years by more than 300
deaths, and it is also greater than the mortality of the
same week in 1849 when the number had fallen to 1075.
Last week cholera was fatal in 249 cases, diarrhces. in
102. The deaths from the former disease were registered
in the last two weeks in the five divisions of London in
the following proportions . In the Western Districts 59
and 46, in the Northern 26 and 14, in the Central 31
and 24, in the Eastern 95 and 50, and on the South side
of the river 200 and 115. In the second week of
October 1849 the deaths reported as caused by cholera
were 110.
Scarlatina prevails to some extent in London, and the
mortality from it exhibits a weekly increase. In the last
three returns this disease numbered 88, 105, and 112 ;
this is considerably more than the average.

Paris, October 10, 1854.
M. le Ministre,—l am desired by her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to
take the earliest opportunity of conveying to the
Emperor the expression of the deep regret with
which the Queen's Government have learnt the intelligence
of the death of Marshal St. Arnaud. Her Majesty's Go-
vernment desire to offer to his Imperial Majesty and
to the French People their condolence on an event which
has deprived the Emperor and France of the services of
so distinguished and brave a G.meral. If anything
could mitigate the sorrow that must be felt by the
Governments and people of France and England upon this
occasion, it must be the satisfaction, though a mournful
one, that the Marshal's last moments were preceded and
cheered by the triumph of a victory, which will always be
glorious in the military annals of both countries.
In requesting your Excellency to convey these senti-
ments to the knowledge of the Emperor, I trust that I
may be permitted to acid the expression of my personal
regrets for the loss which the Emperor and the French
nation have sustained. To know Marshal St. Arnaud was
to like him ; for the courtesy and affability of his private
life was as remarkable as his courage and firmness in the
field.— I avail, &c.,

1.11.4 Excellency M. Drouyn de Lhuys, &c.

(Translation.)
M. L'A.MBASSADEER,
I have laid before the Emperor the letter that your Ex-
cellency did me the honour to address to me on the 10th
instant, containing the expression of regret felt by the Go-
vernment of her Britannic Ifajesty on learning the lament-
able loss which France has sustained by the death of
Marshal St. Arnaud. The Emperor has been deeply af-
fected by a proceeding which gives such evidence of the
union of this Government with that of the Queen, and
of the sincerity with which the two countries are
henceforth called upon to participate in all that
can be for either of them a subject of mourning or
of joy. If, under the present circumstances, anything
could assuage the grief which the Emperor and France
have felt at such a loss, it is truly, as your Excellency has
so well said, the satisfaction which Marshal St. Arnaud
was enabled in dying to experience, that he had just in-
scribed his name in conjunction with those of heroic allies
on one of the most glorious pages of the military annals of

England and France.
I have no need, my Lord, to add that the terms in which
your Excellency has so courteously expressed yourself per-
sonally in regard to the Marshal, have been duly appre-
ciated.—l hasten, &c.,
(Signed) DROUYN DE LHUYS.
