muneratit for his invention, besides a further sum of
4001. as o ompensation for expenses incurred in the con-
strucEon of the machine. The inventor was dissatisfied
with tho arrangement, urging that it was inadequate to
defra:7 ti ie mere outlay, and proposed (March 26, 1851)
to et act into a contract for perforating, engraving,
printi cg, and gumming postage label sheets for 11. 151. a
thousa ml less than was then paid for engraving, print-
ing, ar gemming them. The agreement with Messrs.
Bacon and retch was to print postage labels at the rate
of 6d. a L,OOO. Mr. Archer proposed to do so, and
to pertrortite them besides, at 4id. per 1,000. The
original p rinters reduced their charge to sd. per 1,000
in conscquene,e, and a contract was concluded with
Messrs. I t3acon and retch for five years at that rate.
Mr. Arct ter, on the 30th of May, signified to the Inland
Revenue Office, that it was his intention " to appeal to
the honot, ur and justice of Parliament for redress with
the least possible delay."

The Osservatore Dalmato has advices from Niksik
and Montenegro up to the 10th ult. Hostilities are,
it would appear, as rife as ever between the Turks of
Niksik and the Montenegrins of Povie. A party
having been fixed upon for the 7th at Slovie, between
the two contending parties, with the view of coming
to an amicable arrangement, two Turks, named Mus-
sovm and ANZE, repaired thither, for the purpme ;
the Montenegrins having sent a chief named JURO
NESSEVITCII, with ten of his followers, to represent
them. But instead of coming to terms, the two par-
ties fell out, and after some high words, one of the
Montenegrins fired at Mussovia and wounded him;
the latter returned the fire and killed NESSEVITCH.
The consequence was that the Montenegrins fell upon
the two Turks, killed them after an obstinate combat,
and returned to Povie with the heads of their victims,
their arms and horses. The families of the two
Turks, afterwards, sent some Christian women to ne.
gotiate a ransom for the two heads, which were in fact
returned and buried with the bodies.

.E PIDEMIOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

A m otithly meeting of the members of this society,
instituted last year for the purpose of investigating the
causes :and conditions which influence the origin, propa-
gation, prevention, and treatment of epidemic diseases,
was b eld at the house of the Royal Medical and Chi-
rurgicr LI Society, 53, Berners-street; Dr. B. Guy Babing-
ton in the chair. The proceedings of the previous meet-
ing braving been read and approved, Mr. Tucker, one of
the honorary secretaries to the society, proceeded to
read a paper by Mr. Grove upon epidemical diseases.
Mr. Grove argued that the poisons inducing epidemic,
endemic, and infectious diseases must be ranked among
the things endowed with life. The faculty of reproduction
was a distinctive characteristicof animation as contrasted
with mechanism or inanimate matter. It was during the
reproductive period of existence, he said, that the most
energetic operations of the vital force were manifested,
and it was during the reproduction of the poison germs
within the body that the force of diseased action called
for special attention. Whether they examined an epidemic
or infectious disease of plants, of animals, or of man,
it would be found that the essence of the affection was a
something which had the power of reproducing its ape-
cies. Taking this faculty of reproduction as indicative
of the existence of a germ, he classed the agents of dis
ease among living things, and regarded reproduction as
the primary law. To account fur epidemics and infec-
tion upon the chemical basis he held to be impossible,
seeing that in no purely chemical process was there an)
multiplication of the agents, and that, as far as the phy-
sical forces were concerned, one always increased at the
expense of the other, as the heat increased by the che-
mical change taking place in combustible bodies. The
lecture concluded, aconversation arose upon the subject,
in which Dr. Silvester, Dr. Snow, Mr. Charles Cochrane,
Dr. M‘Willitim, and Mr. Tucker took part. A vote of
thanks was then accorded to Mr. Grove for his able paper.
In consequence of the lateness of the season, the society
adjourned till the month of November, when, it was an-
nounced, Dr. R. Gordon Latham will read a paper upon
epidemical diseases in Iceland. The committees of the
society will continue their operations during the recess.

TUNIS.

The Breslau Gazette, under date of Vienna, 27th
inst., says—" The Bey of Tunis has arrived here.
The object of his visit is to offer to the Goverment
some concessions in favour of Catholicism, in order
to obtain its protection against the English, who have
declared in favour of the Ottoman Porte, and have
already appeared before Tunis to support their de-
mands. We doubt not that Austria and Russia will
be disposed to support the BEY against the pretensions
of England; but the question is to know by what
means the blow will be warded off. This question
presents some gravity in another respect. If the
English act for the Ottoman Porte against the BEY,
it is less from friendship fur it than to establish them-
selves near Egypt, and to wait for the solution of the
question of the East, in order to eventually get pos-
session of that country." it should be remembered
that the Breslau Gazette is not the very highest au-
thority in the world.

SICILY.

The Official Journal of Sicily gives an account of
a strike among the journeymen bakers of Palermo,
which occurred on the 6th, for an increase of wages.
The authorities, having in vain used every argument,
to persuade them, at last had seventy-four of them
arrested and shipped off to the fort of Favignana,
while a sufficient number of journeymen from the
country were pressed into the service of the bakers of
the capital.

TEETOTAL DEMONSTRATION.

The friends of teetotalism have taken advantage of
the present enormous influx of visitors from all parts
of the kingdom to commence " a series of grand de-
monstrationfites and meetings," the first public one of
which took place on Monday evening at Exeter-hall.
Mr. L. Heyworth, M.P., presided, and the platform
was crowded with a numerous assemblage of gentle-
men from different parts of the country interested in
the promotion of total abstinence from all kinds of in-
toxicating liquors.
Following the example of the British Association
and Archaeological Society, the friends of temperance
have determined upon devoting a number of days to
the purposes of propagating their doctrines and harm-
less amusements.
