erates as follows the trades from which the recruits
fetohnreuming the annual contingent of 100,000 mon aro taken :
—Workmen in wood, c,a.rponters, joiners, /cc., furnish.

STEAM IN VENICE.—It is proposed to organise a
service of steam gondolas on the canals of Venice. The
lovers of the picturesque think this a desecration, and the
gondoliers are equally indignant, from loss disinterested
motives.

TUE PARIS CRICKET CLUB.—As the time is fast
approaching for the assembling of visitors at Paris
for the Exhibition season, it will not be at all mal-
h-propos to call the attention of those to whom
cricket is a favourite game to the state of the funds
of the Paris Cricket Club. This club was founded
in 1863, and has been since supported by the Eng-
lish and American residents, assisted in no small
degree by the Paris authorities. The funds, how-
ever, show a deficit, and, unless assisted, the club
will be unable to play any matches with any English
elevens in the forthcoming season. To all those,
then, who may wish to lend a helping hand to sup-
port this truly English pastime on the Continent,
we would say that subscriptions to the Paris Club
are received by Mr. T. 11. Sparks, 86, St. James's-
street, Piccadilly, and at 3, Rue d'Aguesseau,

Paris.
THE GREAT EASTERN.--This world-famous

for Brest on the 9th April, and sail between France
and the United Stags (in ink the continuance of
