The twenty-eighth year, and the hundred and
fiftieth number of Mr. Vacher's indispensable six-
penny little volume. It is published monthly during
the., session to include all changes. The information
is just that which every reader of a newspaper who
takes an interest in political affairs continually
reads, and as a vade mccunz for reference it is com-
plete. We have all the peers, with their addresses,

HEREFORD.

A movement has been initiated in this county
for the formation of a volunteer rifle corps for the
city and county, and the Lord-Lieutenant of the
county (Lord Bateman) has been in communication
with the War-office on the subject. This being
almost purely an ag►ricultura.l county, there is some
hesitation in offering such a seductive inducement
to the men to renounce their rustic occupations
as would be presented by the formation of a rifle
corps, for martial feeling runs high here. It
is therefore contemplated to shelve the project
until after the,hay harvest. In the meantime the
subject will be fully discussed by the deputy-
lieutenants, who will take the necessary steps pre-
liminary to calling a public meeting at the Shire-
hall, Hereford.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Price ls. lid. and 2s. 9d. per box.
This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of
modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind ; for, during
the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a
cure for the Gout was considered a romance; but now the
efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated,
by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life,
that public opinion proclaims this as one of the most im-
portant discoveries of the present age.
These Pills require no restraint of diet or confinement
during their use, and are certain to prevent
,the disease
attacking any vital part.

alluded to was noticed in the lines, "Riflemen,

BRECHIN.

A meeting was held at Brechin (Forfarshire) on
Wednesday, for the purpose of forming a volunteer
rifle corps for the town and neighbourhood. Pro-
vost Guthrie presided.
Lord PANMURE, in addressing
.the meeting, said
—lt seems to have been the opinion of some per-
sons—an opinion in which I hardly concur myself
—that this country may be in danger of having its
shores invaded by a foreign foe. Ido not anticipat
that there is any probability of such an issue ; fore
many reasons lead me to a conclusion against such
an event occurring rather than in favour of it. But
at the same time we should not shut our eyes to the
fact that the country is not so much begirt as she
was by the ocean of which in times past she held
the supremacy. The invention of steam has enabled
our neighbour France to bring upon the seas a navy
almost equal to our own ; and although we may at
all times depend on the advantage which we possess
in a very strong and efficient navy, it is necessary
that we should turn our own attention to the
possible fact that that navy may be engaged else-

THE RACE.

Directly Mr. Hibburd lowered his flag Allegra assumed
the lead, Rosabel and Souvenir taking the second and third
places ; Schism followed next on the far side, Physalis filly
sixth, with Prelude at her quarters ; and then came the
ruck, in the centre of which were Mayonaise and Summer-
side, the Woman in Black being last of all. At the mile-
post Souvenir had a slight lead of Allegra, and the lot got
closer together. as they travelled along the top ridge of the
far side of the course, but at this point we were unable
clearly to define the exact positions in consequence of the
haze; but the leading rank still remained the same. On
coming round Tattenham-corner Souvenir was in difficul-
ties, and speedily retired from the premiership. The run-
ning was now taken up by Prelude, followed by Schism, and
the favourite drew forward from the middle of the nick
and placed herself next in order. Prelude and. Schism
dropped back again, tired of the pace, on entering the
straight, and Mayonaise came to the fore, and Summerside
took up a position on the lower side next to her. This
couple were succeeded by Prelude, Wild Rose, and Scent,
and so the five raced from the distance. On approaching
the Grand Stand Prelude had shot her bolt, and Mayenaise
was likewise evidently in trouble. Summerside came out
opposite the betting enclosure the instant she was called
upon by Fordham, and responding gallantly she cleared the
remaining portion of the distance, and won cleverly by half
a length. Scent held on to the finish in a game manner,
and beat Wild Rose for the second place by a head only.
Mayonaise was merely enabled to obtain fourth place a neck
from Wild Rose ; Prelude was fifth, Ariadne sixth, Meg
Merrilies seventh, Woman in Black eighth ; Little Agnes,
Schism, the Physalis filly, and Allegra were next. The
last three beaten off were Eller, Souvenir, and Rosabel.

BUENOS AYRES.

The long-threatened invasion of the province of
Buenos Ayres by Urquiza was, at the date of
the packet sailing, considered inevitable. The
contingents of Eritre Rios and Corrieottes were
moving towards Rosario, where the invading
army was being concentrated. The Govern-
ment of Buenos Ayres has given no new motive
for this fresh act. of hostility. Its liberal
institutions, progressive importance and pro-
sperity, as compared with other provinces, are
supposed to constitute the motive for Urquiza's
implacable hatred. Should the invasion not be
successfully opposed the whole province will be
laid waste and ruined. The Buenos Ayres Govern-
ment is making vigorous exertions to meet the
threatened danger. General Hornos has been
despatched to the north to watch the enemy's
movements; and it was supposed that seeing the
impossibility of avoiding war, which would only
be delayed till Urquiza felt himself strong enough
to strike a blow, he would probably assume the
offensive. The foreign population of Buenos Ayres
almost unanimously sympathise with the Buenos
Ayreans. and dislike Urquiza. The red riband,
Rosas' old badge, has been revived by Urquiza with
a different motto, and at San Jose, his residence in
Entre Rios and head-quarters, military executions
are said to be frequent.
The business in imports during the month had
been very brisk, and subsequent to the arrival of
the packet a further rise in all kinds of raw produce
had taken place. Exchange opened at 675. 6d: and
receded to 655. 9d. and 665.

MONTE VIDEO.
There bas been great animation during the month
both in the import and export market. The coun-
try was quiet and flourishing, promising in course
of time to rival Buenos Ayres in importance. Good
grazing land continued to rise in price, the principal
purchasers being English and. German. Exchange
opened at 411, and gradually receded to 401.

The necessary gear for fitting out her Majesty's
paddlewheel and screw sloops Barracouta and
Icarus at Sheerness were yesterday despatched

By reason of the unaccountable disinclination
displayed by the examining officers of Woolwich
to engage the many ablebodied young men slightly
under the standard of 5 feet 6 inches, who daily
thronged the Fisgard's ofEe on the issue of the
proclamation for the increase of the Navy, compa-
ratively few now present themselves for enrolment,
many of whom appear to be considerably inferior
to the majority of those who were dismissed from
day to day, with the curt remark " too short." _

The following ships were yesterday takeneup by
the WPr Department for the transport of stores
from Woolwich Arsenal—namely,lthe Mary Sproat,
for. Malta ; the Matoake, for Auckland, New Zea-
land.; the Agnes, for Kingston, West-Canada ; the

Gibraltar.

The enlistment of volunteers for the Royal Navy

numbered 37 individuals.

The necessary gear for fitting out her Majesty's
paddlewheel and screw sloops Barracouta and
Icarus at Sheerness were yesterday despatched
from Woolwich.
By reason of the unaccountable disinclination
displayed by the examinlng officers of Woolwich
to engage the many ablebodied young men slightly
under the standard of 5 feet 6 inches, who daily
thronged the Fisgard's offi3e on the issue of the
proclamation for the increase of the Navy, compa-
ratively few now present themselves for enrolment,
many of whom appear to be considerably inferior
to the majority of those who were dismissed from
day to day, with the curt remark " too short."
The following ships were yesterday taken up by
the War Department for the transport of stores
from Woolwich Arsenal—namely, the Mary Sproat,
for Malta ; the Matoake, for Auckland, New Zea-
land; the Agnes, for Kingston, West Canada; the
Agnes, for Malta ; and the steamer Gibraltar, for
Gibraltar.
The at listment of volunteers for the Royal Navy

LICHFIELD.

A public meeting meeting has 'been held here,
the Mayor in► the chair.

Mr. JOHNSON moved a resolution expressive of
the meeting's approval of the formation of a volun-
teer rifle corps.
Capt. DYOTT, in seconding the resolution, said
that in looking over some papers connected with
the old volunteers of 1793, 1798, and 1804, when
the city of Lichfield raised a considerable force, he
found it had been carried out in a popular manner
and the rules showed that each company or bat-
talion governed itself. He thought the present force
ought to be a popular one, and the Government
could not do better than follow the old course.
A committee was appointed, and a vote of thanks
to the Mayor closed the proceedings.

A meeting was held on Wednesday evening for
the purpose of forming a volunteer rifle corps for
this cit.T. The large room of the Guildhall was
crowded bj
an influential assemblage.
The mayok• (Dr, Randle W. Falconer, brother-
in-law to Mr. N.Tbuck, M.P.) presided.
Various resolutions were proposed, the speakers
being Col. I. Jonee, Major Baker, Sir H • Bayley,
Col. Olivier, and Mr. C. D. Bailey, and a rge
number of names were entered, as volunteers in ad-
dition to several subscriptions for the purpose of
providing arms and equipments for tl•kose who were
unable themselves to bear the expense.
After the last resolution had been put a person
in the body of the room inquired whether the alli-
ance between this country and France was at an
end, because nearly all the speakers seemed to ap-
prehend danger from the Emperor Napoleon ?
The MAYOR said that no doubt what was going
on on the continent struck different minds in dif-

alluded to was noticed in the lines, " Riflemen,

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the

curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By P. B. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metroyolitan_lnfirmary for the

Cure 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. Byhis 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.

THAMES.

A FEMALE MONSTER.—Mary Ann Cole was charged
with biting off the lip and cheek of another female, named
Catherine Harrington, who is in the hospital, and John
James was also charged with inciting her to commit the
brutal assault. From the evidence it appeared that the
female prisoner and another woman were quarrelling the
previous night, when the male defendant told her to bite
the other. She took his advice, and they fell together, when
the prisoner bit her lip off, and also one side of her cheek.
The flesh bitten from the poor woman was produced in a
bottle, and hanhd to the, magistrate for inspection.
Mr. Selfe said he never heard of such a brutal case before,
and he sentenced the male prisoner to six months with hard
labour; and be said he should make a little discrimination
in the punishment he should inflict on the female, as she
had been incited by the Man, and her sentence would be five
months with hard labour.

to the rate of speed at which he ought to go that
could not be disturbed by any amount of flagellation,
and were very unfavourable to progress, At last
I remonstrated with the cabman through the trap.

" Ah! they'll be miserable afore long, they will, I

because there won't be a cab 'oss left in London gy
