LA 'I EST NE WS

PARIS, OCT. 25.

The Moniteur of to-day contains the following;
" A judicial investigation has established the fact
that the congregation of the ladies of the Sainte
Union, at Douai, have voluntarily abetted the
abduction of young Jewish girls.
" These facts would have justified the Govern-
ment in revoking the authorisation of the Society
of the Sainte Union, but it has confined itself to
withdrawing the acknowledgment of its legal
existence.

" This measure, marked by firmness and mode-
ration, will remind the religious congregations that
neither their character, their object, nor their rules
excuse them from obeying the laws of their
country."

PARIS, OCT. 24.

The Patrie of this evening says, " Several cases
of yellow fever have occurred on board a ship lying
in the port of Bordeaux. Every measure of pre-
caution has been taken by the authorities."

PESTH, OCT. 24.

The members of the Council of the Hungarian
Chancery (Statthaltereirath) have sent an address
to the Emperor requesting his Majesty to come to
Buda, to withdraw himself from the influence of
the foreign advisers who surround him, to assemble
the Obergespane of the Comitats, and declare to
them that he is resolved to govern in conformity
with the Hnngarian Constitution, and finally to
appoint an Archduke as Governor of Hungary.
Then, the address says, the country would place
confidence in his Majesty, and would hasten to
render him homage.

NEW WAY OF MAKING A PENNY.—Ono of
our lairds, who shall bo nameless, had occasion lately, in
the course of business, to put into the hands of his law
agent here a small sum of money. The writer entered the
money in his cash-book, and was proceeding to give a
receipt, when the laird thus addressed him :—" Now, Mr.
So-and.so, it is needless for you to be at the trouble o' writin'
a receipt on that bit o' paper, au' Mackin' a penny stamp
on't ; jist gie me the penny, and I'll trust tae yer books."
The man of business good-naturedly handed his client the
penny.—Scotsman.

DENMARK.

We have advices from Copenhagen to the 22d
instant. The King had nearly recovered from
the attaek of illness he has been suffering from since
his return from Jutland, and presided last week at
a Cabinet Council. A monument in commemora-
tion of the Danish poet Oehienschlager was un-
covered on the 21st. He was born at Copenhagep on
the 14th November, 1779. He made his debut as
an actor at the Royal Theatre, but soon left the
stage. He then entered the University, where he
gained the prize medal, and soon became the greatest
poet of the North. The Scandinavian mythology
and sagas were his chief study. lie died on the
20th January, 1850.

The poet is represented in a sitting attitude. The
statue is from the chisel of M. Bissen, a pupil of
Thorwaldsen. It is placed on a granite pedestal,
presented by Norway, in the fine promenade near
the Amalienborg Palace, the most elegant quarter
of the town.

A Coblentz letter states that certain persons
unknown recently asked the Prussian Government to sell
them 10,000 muskets, for which they offered a good price.
As, on inquiry, these persons were found to be the same
Bourbonist agents who not long since purchased a quantity
of arms at Dresden to be sent to Italy, the Prussian Govern-

ing Sovereign, especially towards a people who are
proud, reserved, and impatient of all foreign influ-
ence, Prince Albert, without ever exciting the least
censure, succeeded in exercising in the councils of
Great Britain, with as much dignity as prudence, a
legitimate authority, the good effects of which are
denied by none. All the useful institutions which
originated in England by the initiative of the people
—in this country so vigorous—were honoured with
his advocacy, one which was never sterile or merely
nominal. Wherever there was progress to hasten,
serious work to found or develope, the sympathetic,
active, and energetic concurrence of the Queen's
husband was ever to be reckoned upon. This in-
telligent and comprehensive participation of the
Prince in the social life of the English at first gained
him their esteem and then their affection. They
regarded him as one of themselves, and certain pre-
judices, or rather instinctive prepossessions against
him at the time of his marriage with the Queen on
account of his nationality and tendencies towards
absolutism which were more or less attributed to
him, were soon completely dispersed, to be replaced
by feelings of the utmost cordiality. Thus his loss
will be deeply felt, and all England will participate
in the grief of the Royal family.
London, England, 1861-12-17

THE LAST OF THE MORTIMERS. By the author
of " Margaret Maitland," &c. 3 vols.—" The Last of the
Mortimers," says the Athenaeum, "is a charming book—
simple, quaint, and (rash. It is a novel, comme it yen a
peu' (the more's the pity) ; and it will go far to sustain the
reputation of the author of ' Margaret Maitland.' The two
Millys and little Sarah are all delightful characters, and
Harry and the Italian Count are a capital pair of heroes."

" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very
useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the
proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the
Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte-
resting information, while those who have already ercouraged
this new system wilt derive additional advant tge if they
observe some- of the p ;laical regulations which the writer
endeavours to enforce."—fierahl and Standard, N0v.12, 18111.
" The Post-office Turkish Bath 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of
an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy
philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart
of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco-
very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice
of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established,
the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct
the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess
one of the best set of baths, at 19. St. Martin's-le-Grand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances,
and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up
his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement,
which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire
has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the
visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels
himself regenerated and new made, it it on Wining out of 'a
Turkisli Bath."—Lra, Oct. 13, 'SOL.

£4OO a year. He was a widower with a daub
of 12 years of age when he me, t his victim, Eliza-
beth Brookes, who was then 19 years of age; and
the young woman, -whose mother Was dead, and her
family in Australis, entered his set*P.lee as house-
keeper iu January, 1860. She had o.ne child by
him, which died. .It would appear that he mani-
fested uniform kindness to her except at st.'eh times
as ho was intoxicated, when he exhibited ea nsider-
able violence or behaviour, and this was far from
being a rare occurrence. It is worthy of remark
that he always k ept loaded firearms and a dagger in
the house. His appearance is that of a man natu-
rally prone to anger, whom it would be dangerouß,
o offend ; but his mistress appears to have lived
him on the very best of terms up to the day
and Cron the hour of the murder. On the '29th of,:
August
proeeedel with her into Birmingham for'
the purpo.‘e Of ordering a new silk dress for her,
and they 1 •eturned in the afternoon in a cab,
bringing with' them a fowl, some cheese, and other
things. The c abm an accompanied them into the
house and had sa_lme ale, whilst the prisoner sent
his daughter upstairs for a large and old-fashioned
se hor-pistol, which he discharged through the open
window, and then a 3keLl the man if he considered
the report made wa s very loud: This singular
proceeding took place bet ore Tlizxbeth Brookes,.
The cabman was paid his fare and retired. The
deceased took off her bomiet antt shawl, and tea was
ordered. Mary Phillips, the servant girl, brought
in the tea things, and by and bye was sent by the
prisoner for a cab. She noticed that her master
could not walk perfectly ;straight, and observed that
he seemed " quiet"---a sign that he really was under
the influence of drink. :Phillips ordered the cab at
the Small-heath Toll-gate , and as she returned she
heard the report of a piste No one was there but
the deceased, who was bleeding from a wound in
the breast. There was a .circular wound under the
nipple of the left breast, frt.)m which the blood was
freely flowing, and the h 9-pistol lay near her onors,
the floor. She was sitting a,' the piano, but turned
partly round. The affrighteti girl fled from this
chamber of horrors, and met .Sea master coming into
the house with Mr, Penny, a nejghbouring grocer.
She told him that the cab, wh.ich had followed her,
had come; but the prisoner instantly countermanded
the order that he had previously gisven, and said the
cab was not wanted then. Almos t immediately
after the report of the pistol Mr. Penn: saw Farqu-
har come out of his house, go to his child, who was
Laing in the front, and speak to her. He then
went across to Penny, and voluntarily told him
that " murder had been done." From this point
Farquhar continued to make admissions which were
conclusive as to the crinl6 and its cause, which was
jealousy.
After a lengthy absence the jury returned a ver-
dict of " Manslaughter ," and the Judge, remark-
ing on the prisoner's narrow csapc, seritonced him
o penal servitude for life.

DEERFOOT AND THE CAMBRIDGE DONS: 1110
publication in the papers of the fact that, on Sunday even-,
ing the Bth inst., Deerfoot, the Seneca Indian, was invited
to dine in the hall of Trinity College, seems to have pro-
duced Borne stir during the last fow days ; and the 1.1.eV.
:W. J. Beaumont has felt it incumbent upon him to pub,.
lish a letter, in which he observes :—" Deerfoot was my'
guest, and was introduced on my solo responsibility, with-
out the knowledge, and, as I have since learned, against
the wish of the Fellows. With the question between the
College and myself, I do not think the public are con-
cerned ; but, on my own behalf, 1 wish to make known the
reasons subjoined :-1. Deerfoot was represented to me as ft
religions man. In confirmation of this, I may mention that
he was at church in the morning, and King's Chapel in
the afternoon, and that he is in constant communication
with the missionaries who instructed in his own countrY'
2. Ho is a stranger in a foreign land. Having experienced
the value of sympathy myself when far away from hemp
and friends, I felt that it was a Christian act to show"
kindness to one in similar circumstances. 3. He has at-
tained considerable distinction in the line which he haS
taken, and is to my mind worthy of 'commendation.
Whoever excels his fellow-men, even in any accomplish-
ment, either of body or of mind (provided that the exercise
of it be not wrong or wicked), is, in my opinion, deserving.
of a certain degree of admiration. 4. I believe wo should do
better if we associated more with persons in a different rank
in life, whose character is good, and less with those of the
same rank whose character is notoriously bad. Unless I
heaid more to the disparagement of Deerfoot's character
than I ever have heard, I should not shrink from asking
him ,to nay own rooms. I may state, in conclusion, that I
never spoke to Deerfoot before last Sunday, and very pro-
bably may never speak to him again."

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they

removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

CurC of 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 arc subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

60s. per cent., according to the date of sailing. Outward
ships are taken at about 30s. The rates for vessels from
New York were very irregular, but for those leaving at
an early period about three guineas was the approximate
charge.

The Wellesley has arrived from Melbourne with
5,961 ounces of gold, worth about £308,000. The only
other gold ship at present known to be on her way to Eng-
land is the Kent, 63 days out, with £122,000.

members having opposed the motion on the ground

onfidence in Government, the mover, though dis-
`At idea, consented to withdraw the motion,
