visited the Cathedral and the Royal Porcelain Manufac-

The East Indian Railway Company invite applications
for debentures to replace others falling due, transferable
from hand to hand, without stamp, and bearing interest
at the rate of 4,1 t per cent. per annum, guaranteed by the
Secretary of State for India.
The inhabitants of a small German town named
Osierode have, as we are informed by the Independance
Beige, offered a reward of 10,000 thalers "to whomsoever
shall take the Emperor Napoleon, alive dead." The
service which these patriotic burghers demand in return
for their thalers is not without perils. _ _

order recalling him at once to Rome, as something im-

NEW GUILDHALL AND ASSIZE COURT AT PLY-
MOUTH.—With full civic pomp, in the prdsence of a very
large concourse of spectators, many of whom were from
neighbouring boroughs, on Thursday afternoon, was laid at
Plymouth the foundation-stone of the new Guildhall and
Assize Courts, and public buildings about to be erected.
The cost of the same is estimated at £40,000. There was
accommodation for many hundreds provided by raised
platforms. Mr. Alfred Rooker, as chairman of the build-
inc committee, requested the mayor (Mr. Luscombe) to lay
the stone, which he did amid the cheers of the assembly
and the ringing of the bells of the adjacent church. The
building is to be completed in two years.
PROJECTS OF THE GOVERNMENT.—The London
correspondent of the Manchester Courier writes :—"There
is a rumour afloat that the Government mean to propose
a considerable supplementary estimate for the purpose of
'mobilising' the militia, or, at least, bringing it up to its
full strength. If that be so, I believe occasion will
be taken by the Opposition formally to direct
the attention of Parliament and the country to
the extensive reductions in the strength of all
arms of our military forces—considerably surpassing
it is said, what the House of Commons approved of when
the army estimates were moved. And if that opportunity
is not afforded, the Opposition will make one for itself.
The Times is beginning to open its columns to letters and
communications in that direction, which is an ominous
sign for Mr. Cardwell. The Government is doing its
best to push on the estimates, and when all the money
has been got, you will find the session suddenly shut
up with a remarkable alacrity. There is a talk of the
prorogation being fixed for Tuesday, the 9th, but I
hardly think that the business will be huddled up by
that time. Were this treaty business satisfactorily
explained away, it would be an unmixed advantage if
the House of Commons could be got rid of. The friends
of peace and neutrality are kept in a perpetual tremble
lest some unlucky, indiscreet speech should commit us in
some way or other. Foreign nations, unfortunately,
don't understand the exact composition of our House of
Commons. An M.P. is an M.P. in their eyes, and a
Rylands, or anybody else of equal loquacity and ignorance,
might do more harm in ten minutes than all the tact or
knowledge of a Gladstone or a Disraeli could remedy in a
week.
