Whence there results a surplus of above 1,500,000
piastres, which are yearly confined to the Imperial
coffers at Mequinez, guarded by 2,000 negroes.
The army is divided into two parts ; one, called
active, is composed of the Emperor's Moors ; and
the other consists of militia, commanded by the go-
vernors. The Emperor pays the former, which
consists of 20,000 men. The militia are paid out
of the local taxes. There are also in large towns,
such as Fez, Morocco, Tangiers, &c., an urban force,
which is augmented in case of need by all inhabi-
tants capable of bearing arms. When a large army
is formed the governor commands the troops of his
province, and is bound to provide everything ne-
cessary. The Emperor's guard generally lives at
the expense of the towns where it happens to be.
The generalissimo of the troops is the Emperor
himself, or, in his absence, one of his sons, or a
prince of the Imperial family. After him come the
bajas, or governors, the mocadenies, or colonels;
and the caid-el-jamsi, who have each the command
of 2,500 men. The corps of artillery consists of
about 1,000 men, indifferently trained."

The Augsburg Gazette has the following from
Bregcnz, in the Ty rol, dated the 29th ult. :—" The
departure of the battalion of Austrian infantry in
garrison at that place has taken place more promptly
I than had been expected, owing to the Italians of
whom it is principally composed, having considered
that the execution of the promise that they should
soon be dismissed and be allowed to enter the ser-
vice of Piedmont, was too long delayed, and having
in consequence created a tumult in their barfacks,
and clamorously insisted on being discharged. The
officers succeeded in calming them, but only on the
condition that they should be sent in detachments
by way of Innspruck to the Italian provinces, in
which they were enrolled."

TIIE PAKINGTON TESTIMONIAL—The dinner at
which the presentation of the county testimonial N Sir John

cation by the presentation of the first printed book to Ed-

A FAMILY POISONED.—On Sunday morning,
three of the children of henry Fullwood. an agent to
Messrs. Benjamin Gibbons and Sons, of Upper Gorval,
near Dudley, being unwell, their parents sent for a quan-
tity of senna, directing a little " India pink" to be mixed
with it. The person who supplied the articles was a Mr.
John Davies, who has recently established a drug
business.,, Instead of sending the above articles, he, by
mistake, sent senna mixed with a common poison. The
children, about two hours after taking the mixture, mani-
fested the most piteous spectacle. Their eyes seemed as if
they were coming out of the sockets. They exhibited a
raving unconsciousness, and were
.soon all three of them
apparently deadly prostrate. Mr. John Ballenden, sur-
geon, was called in. He resorted to every medical expe-
dient, and at last mitigated the fearful symptoms. The
children arc now recovering, but only slowly.—Manehester
