geance, for which purpose he had armed himself with the
cutting-knife used in his trade. Enraged with this
defeat, he returned home and satiated his wrath on his
unhappy wife, whom he wounded desperately in many
places, nearly cutting 'out one of her eyes: Her screams
called in the assistance of her neighbours, who forced
their way in in time to save her from instant death, though
she still lies in a dangerous state. The infuriated limn
was taken to prison.
Two men, one a merchant's travelling clerk, and
the other a draftsman, in a state of intoxication, passed
along the rue Montmartre, the day before yesterday,
shouting A bas Guizot ! Vine la Republique! and hav-
ing collected a crowd, insulted the guard posted at Saint
Eustache. Here they were arrested, and carried before
a Commissary of Police, who transferred them to the
Prefecture.
The'day before yesterday a woman, walking in the
Gardens of the Luxembourg, was suddenly taken in
labour, and, seating herself on a bench in the Allee de
l'Observatoire, brought into the world a fine boy. The
mother and baby were immediately taken to the Lying-
in-Hospital, and received all the care the emergency
required.
A remarkable case of sub-cutaneous section of the
muscles, for the cure of a distorted foot, has been re-
cently performed on M. Adolphe Dumas by Dr. Duval,
of the Porte Maillot. That gentleman had been afflicted
with a contraction of the tendon Achilles, and other
muscles of the right foot, which had turned it completely
round, so that he walked on the outside edge of the foot,
while the heel was raised three inches from the ground.
A few seconds sufficed for the section of the tendon
Achilles and another muscle, on the front of the foot, the
result of which was, that the foot was immediately
brought round to its proper direction, and ten days after-
wards the patient walked like any body else.
The King is to leave St. Cloud to-day, to go to tho
Chateau of Eu.
Yesterday the Ministers went to the Palace to hold
a Council.
We have received news from Algiers of the 27th
of July.
At seven o'clock in the morning half a battalion of
Zouaves had arrived on board the Phare steamer, coming
from Mostaganem. At eight o'clock a proclamation of
the Director of the Interior was posted up, ordering
each of the inhabitants to receive one or more of these
brave men for some days.
The expedition under the command of General La-
moriciere,returned to Mostaganem on the 19th. During
the march of our troops Abd-el-Bader had shown himielf
with a considerable foree,and the rear guard had two actions.
The Zouaves had caused the enemy to suffer great loss.
We had 65 men killed and wounded. The column has
brought back 800 sick, most of whom have been sent to
Oran.
The accounts from Oran, of the 24th, are of little
importance. We have received a letter from Mostaga-
nem, dated the 25th July. The details which it con-
tains are far from agreeing. with those received from Al-
giers. The expeditionary corps has suffered much.
The Arabs were more numerous than ever, and harassed
it incessantly. They fought at close quarters. Many
officers are wounded. The bravo Captain Delort, of the
6th regiment of light infantry, who behaved so admir-
ably at the passage of Abbet Kredda, has been left
grievously wounded at Mascara, as well as other officers.
It was thought that his arm must be amputated. ' We
have lost a great part of our horses.—Le Constitutionnel.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.—Amongst our rumours will be
found one relative to the Speakership, which rests on so
good a foundation, that we must in this part of our
Journal call on all the Liberals to be present on the first
day of the Session, and be prepared for a contest on the
Speakership. There is at present a
.prevalent belief
Sir Eardley Wilmot will be put in nomination, and will
be supported by the great body of the Tories.
SIR ROBERT 13XEI:8 INTIMACY WITH THE STANDARD.—
The great quack, at hie Tamworth feed, said, " whenever
there is any particularly shabby paragraph, it is als'vays

must have been looking into the Standard, which
abounds with shabby, or something worse, paragraphs

By the arrival of the Indemnity at Deal from Port
Philip, papers from that place to the Bth April have
been received, but they do not contain any news of inte-
rest. Flour had, if anything, fallen in price, it may now
be purchased at 321. to 341.; Mauritius Sugar scarce, 351.
to 361.
By the arrival of the Veloce at Plymouth from the
Cape of Good Hope,,, papers to AltAdAneanlipaitlyen
fneeling of the Members of the Commercial
Exchange, held at the Commercial-room, on 21st May,
Francis Collison, Esq., in the Chair, it was re-
esolved that a Chamber of Commerce shall be esta-
blished in this town, and we are glad to observe
that the mercantile community are alive to the importance
of representing themselves by an • associated body. It
has our best wishes. The advantage to be derived from
this Association are incalculable, particularly to the ship-
ping trade of the colony.
" There is no news of importance from the frontier.
Some attempts at theft by Caffres are reported, in one of
which a Caifre was shot." _ _ _

A public meeting was to take place on the 12th-June,
to take into consideration the depressed state of the wine
trade. Too long, indeed, has this most important export
of the colony been neglected, and we therefore rejoice
to see that the wine merchants, or wine farmers, are at
last rousing themselves to a proper advocacy of their
own interests.

Portman-square, and Captain Belgrave, of Stamford-
street, Lambeth. At the second fire Captain B. was
wounded in the right thigh, and fell. Hands were then
shaken.

An extensive robbery of money and securities,
amounting to nearly 3,0001.. took place at St. John's
College, Cambridge, on Thursday last. A College gyp
has been committed for the felony.
" Last week, at a farm- house in the neighbour-
hood of Burnley, while a hen was brooding over her
young, a rat approached a third time on that day, having
left one chicken dead on the barn floor. The hen
pouncal upon the rat, seized it on the back with her bill,
and shook it till it was dead." A hen like this is much
wanted in the House of Commons, which is sadly in-
fested by rats. It should be instantly returned to Par-
liament, where it would cackle quite as much to the pur-
pose as Peter Borthwick.
