PAUPERISIC—Returns respecting pauperism in
England and Wales during the quarter ending at Michael-
mas last have beenissued by the Poor-Law Board. At the
close pf that period the numbers relieved, 764,916, were less
by 19,177, or 2.45 per cent. than at Michaelmas, 1859.
Compared with Michaelmas, 1858, they had decreased no
less than 47,074, or 5.80 per cent. The indoor poor,
101,267 at Michaelmas 1859 had increased to 102,562 at
Michaelmas, 1860, but the out-door poor had decreased
from 682,898 to 662,354. The decrease is most marked in
the manufacturing districts in the North, but it extends
over every part of the kingdom except the Welsh and
North Midland divisions.
In • 15721 troops of horse were called comets ;
and companies of foot were styled ensigns. In the reign of
Charles IL the junior officer of horse was known as a
" cornet," and in 1679, a corporal of horse saluted as a
"brigadier." The dragoon derives his name from the
Elizabethan fire-arm called dragon, from the monster
whieh figured on the muzzle; the Carabineers repFsss,eanst
