The Right Hon. W. F. and Mrs. Cowper arrived
in town yesterday from visiting Viscount and Viscountess
Palmerston, at Broadlands, Rants.
The American papers received per Asia announce
the death of Dr. Edman, surgeon of the English mail
steamer Solent, of yellow fever.
Among the hostile parties now contending in
Africa there are three Sabbaths celebrated in each week.
The Sabbath of the Moors is en Friday, the Sabbath of the
very few Jews who fight in their ranks, as irregulars or
settlers in the country, for their hearths and homes, is on
Saturday ; while the Sabbath of the Roman Catholic Spa-
niards is, like our own, on Sunday.
The mercantile advices from Paris yesterday
state that, although the liberal views of the Emperor would
excite great hostility among the monopolist classes, there
can be no question as to the good impression that will be
I produced through the country at large. The momentary
effect of the affair on the Bourse was less certain, because
the abolition of the Sinking Fund is against the Ratites,
and the reduction or remova of the tolls of canals will pro-
mote their competition with the railways. From the confi-
dence that would be created in the state of the relations
with England, the belief is, however, that all descriptions
of securities will gain new firmness.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Mr. Benson, Ludgate-hill, has just
published a new illustrated pamphlet on watches (free by post
for two stamps). It should be read by all who are about
buying a watch, as it contains prices and important informa-
tion as to—What watch to buy ! where to buy it 1 and how to
use it 1
