EASY POLITICS.—The 'two members for Stroud ad-
dres?•ed their friends in that borough on Wrdnes•lay
evening on the topic of the day. Mr. Hotelman made a
long Ministerial speech, and professed himself ready to
wait with patience for Lord Palmerston's Reform Bill.
Mr. Scrope, too, said " With regard to reform be would
take what Government gave them ; half a loaf was
better than no bread, but the present constitution of the
country did not work so very ill."
According to a general survey lately made of all the
old castles and country seats now existingc, in France,
there remain 20,317, of which 311 are of the 12th and
13th centuries ; 394 of the 14th aLd 15th, and 3.114 of
ttqs 16th. The others are of later date. M. re than
2,500 of them have drawbridges, turrets, and crenelated
battlements

WIIITLoWs.—Dr. Guinier, professor of the Faculty of
Medicine at Montpellier, has just published a letter in
the Abeille Ifedicale, in which he describes a peculiar
method employed by him for stopping the progress of a
Whitlow when in its first stage. A whitlow generally
begins with a dull sensation of heat in the affected
finger near the nail ; a rose-coloured spot the size of a
lentil marks ,the seat of disease. This point, when
pressed, is painful ; the colour disappears, and home.
diately teturne after the pressure has ceased. After
the lapse of a few hours the pain becomes more
permanent, the rose colour has become darker, and
extends over a larger space, while the skin becomes
swollen. The pal), increases rapiel7, but as yet without
pulse, ion. This, Dr. Guinier say?, ie the proper time fer
applying his remedy. Having slightly wetted the
flamed surface., he passes Over the whole of it elaw'y
with a pencil of lunar caustic, and he continues this
operation for at least a minute, in order to make sure
that the influence of the caustic has penetrated through'
the cuticle. The moisture, which has now become a
concentrated solution of nitrate of pile. r, is allewed
to dry or, the finger, arid completes the cauterisa-
tion. The skin soon bec 'rues quite black, aud the
cure is then complete. Tee patent feels no pain,
not even an itching sensation, during the opera'
tion ; and a short time afterwards the pain of the
whitlow dt,appears, the black skin peels off after a few
days, and no trace is left of the disorder. If the opera-
tion be performed after the pain has become pulsative,
the latter increases after the cauterisation, but the throbs
cease in the course of a few hours, and the cure is
effected with equal certainty. Dr. Guin;.er is not sure
that his remedy would produce its effect aft, r the com-
m ncement of suppuration ; at all events, the cure
requires more time. He ascribes the successful result
obtained from nitrate of silver sotto its having destroyed
the diseased part (the inflammation is too deeply seated
and the cauterisation too superficial for that), but to a
revulsion or shock gives to the part, disturbing its vicious
state.
