THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL.

The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company have received the following telegram :
The Company's steam-ship Emeu, with the
mails from Australia, reached Aden on the 20th of
November, and would continue her voyage to Suez
the following morning.
" The letters may accordingly be expected in
London, via Marseilles, on the 6th inst."

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, DEC. 1.

The Moniteur of to-day publishes a decree
placing the Prefet de Police under the authority
of the Minister of the Interior, who is henceforth
charged with the general directory of the public
surete, and the offices of the Ministry of the Interior
forming this division are placed under his control.
The Constitutionnel of this day, in an article
signed by one of its editors, " Lelatant," says they
have reason to believe that the rumour of the bom-
bardment of Tangiers has been singularly exag-
gerated. The facts have been erroneously stated.
There was no French squadron engaged, but one
frigate only—no bombardment, but a vigorous act
of retaliation for what was either an insult or a
serious misconception of orders on the part of the
Moors.

PARIS, Nov. 30.

The Opinions Nationale has received a first warn-
ing from the Minister of the Interior, on account of
having published an article on the temporal power
of the Pope, which, as the warning states, is consi•
dered an outrage on a foreign Government and to
the Church of which the Pope is the head.
In explanation of current reports it is stated
that the French squadron have neither bombarded
Tangiers nor Tetuan. A small fort only on the
Morocco coast having fired at a French steamer, the
latter replied, and dismantled the fortifications, and
afterwards rejoined the squadron at Algesiras.

It is stated that the commander of the French
fleet had informed the Morocco Government that
this in no respect changes the relations between the

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—
The Wanderer.—For all complaints ordinarily affecting man-
kind, whether internal or external, nothing can compare
with these peerless remedies. Young and old of both sexes
may use them with certain success and perfect safety ; they
are equally efficacious in hot and cold climates ; no change of
temperature, or long keeping, impairs their curative proper-
ties, which never deteriorate. and are therefore especially
adapted for emigrants, and officers organtlemen, whose plea-
sures or duties lead them to foreign countries and various
climates. These remedies any man can safely prescribe with
the absolute certainty that he cannot do wrojik ; they purify,
and purifying must be beneficial, not only for the cure of the
present ailment, but Or security against future disease.

CERTAIN RELIEF for the AFFLICTED.—

pared without any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe of Dr.

tite, lowness of spirits, dm. They can be taken at any time,

and pimples, purify the blood, brace the nerves, and invigo-
rate the whole system. Sold by most druggists, in boxes,
Is. 14d. and 2s. 9d. each. Be sure to ask for Dr. Scott's
Bilious and Liver Pills. The genuine are a square green

on the Government stamp.

The Modena Gazette states that Commander
Malmusi, President of the National Assembly of
the Ducby, and the Marquis Fontanelli, who had
been on a mission to the Emperor of the French,
have returned, and declared themselves highly
satisfied with their reception, having received new
proofs of the genefous protectorate which the Em-
peror continues to exercise in favour of Italy.

The Opinione of Turin states that the regular
contingents of the various States of Central Italy
are fixed as follows :—Modena, 4,000 men ; Ro.
magna, 7,000 ; Tuscany, 10,000 ; Parma, 4,000;
total, 25,000 men.

The Diritto of Turin, contrary to what had been
stated, viz., that the deputation from the govern-
ment of the Legations would not be officially re-
ceived by the King, asserts that it will be so, and
receive•an answer similar to that which was given
to the Tuscan one.

Prince de Metternich, the day after his arrival
at Vienna, had a private audience of the Emperor
of Austria. The previous day, the Prince had a
conference of several hours' duration with Count
de ltechberg, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The bill on Public Works, adopted by the Cham-
bers in Belgium, by which a sum of 20,000,000 fr.
is set apart for new fortifications at Antwerp, has
just been promulgated in the Belgian Moniteur.

'l'} e Norm RHINE MlNEs.—Under date. of
Angaston, July 9, the correspondent of the Adelaide
Obserrer remarks with respect to these mines, that "The
North Rhine Copper Mine is being worked spiritedly under
the superinteedence of Mr. Barker, who arrived from
England last March. Two lodes, named respectively
Nicholl's and Napoleon's lodes, have been intersected at
20-fathoms levels. The former is about three feet wide,
and is composed of rich black ore, mundic, and spar, par-
taking of the nature of felspar. The latter is one foot wide
and of a similar character to the other. Both have a very
promising appearance, and are likely to give handsome
returns to the proprietors." Great excitement had been
created in the colony by the discovery of some informality
in the grants from the Crown of these mines ; but this was
immediately rectified by the Government and fresh grants
ordered to be seat to the lessees.—Australian

MEETING OF GENERAL COMMITTEE.

The general committee of the association held its first
meeting in Marischal College yesterday, at 1.p.m., for the
election of sectional officers, and the despatch of the busi-
ness usually brought before thattody. The chair was oc-
cupied by Professor Owen, and-there was a large attend-
ance of the committee.
The CIIAIRMAN stated that the number of associates now
admitted amounted to 2,000, about the number which the
Mutiic Hall could accommodate. There was, of course, no
limit to the admission of members, but he wished to take
the opinion of the committee whether the admission of as-
sociates—a question of the relation of numbers to space—
should not be limited to the number state& It was agreed
that the number should be limited to 2,000.
Professor PHILLIPS, assistant general secretary, read the
minutes of the last two meetings of the general committee,
which were confirmed. _ _

The SECRETARY then read the report of the general
council, which was chiefly occupied by a detail of the pro-
ceedings taken by the council with the view of obtaining a
series of magnetical and meteorological observations at
Vanoouver's Island, Newfoundland, the Falkland Isles,
and Pekin.
The report was approved of.
Professor PHILLIPS read the abstract of the general trea-
surer's report, from which it appeared that there was abalance
at the commencement of last year's meeting at Leeds
of £238 13s. 3d., the whole money available after the Leeds
meeting having been £2,627 17s. Bd. The grants for the
year amounted to £1,275. The maintenance of Kew estab-
lishment amounted to £5OO, and a like sum had been in-
vested in the 3 per cent. consols. The balance at present,
after expending several small sums, was £199 7s. 10d.
The report was adopted.
The meeting then proceeded to the election of presidents
and secretaries of the various sections at the Aberdeen
meeting, when the following gentlemen were elected :
Section A.—Mathematical and Physical Science.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every
* person having an interest in domestic or farm animals
should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching
season. For keeping horses in good condition it is unequal-
led. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefited by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Agri-
oulturists, forwarded on application. In casks containing
148 feeds (measures enclosed), price 505., Carriage paid to any

Curof Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.
