KHOREE is a NEW IMPORTATION by the
Messrs. NICOLL, through their Agent in INDIA.
It is a Cloth exceedingly well adapted, when formed Into
a PAL ETOT, for the races, the sea-side, or any place of public
amusement during the approaching warm weather. It has the pecu-
liarity of resisting, or counteracting, in a most remarkat.te manner,
the intense heat of the sun's rays, and is so light (weighing but six
ounces) that it can be conveniently WORN OVER ANOTHER
COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc-_
cupies, when folded, no more space than a pocket-handerchief, it
may be concealed in the same manner when not wanted. It, more-
over, conveys a most gentlemanly appearance, is very durable, and
when soiled, becomes new again by the simple process of washing.
The price is but ONE GUINEA AND A HALF. The adaptation
of this article to the manufacture of Paletots or Overcoats is PA-

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

A NOVEL.

7
The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we cbuld
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
lialf of his heroes and heroines. lie is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable Ws
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects Just mentioned. • There are? several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped; containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the-prima mobilia of the actions which Cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Man-
nerses, and Snlythes."—Observer.
" ' Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty;, Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

boat could not extort reparation for a like insult
from the garrison of Gibraltar. If, however, Lord
STANLEY rendered himself ridiculous by his
miserable begging of the actual question at
issue—what can we possibly Pay in allu-
sion to the spiteful platitudes of Viscount
CANNING or to the diplomatic twaddle of the Earl of
ABERDEEN ?-:—Tho former, with his every syllable
envenomed by that canker of suppressed re:nor-se
which • eats the heart and embitters the tongue of
every political renegade : the latter prosing with
the complacent egotism of unconscious mediocrity,
with the imagination of a plagiarist, the origi-
nality of a dilectus, and a face worthy of
being immortalized among the highly " proper"
and ceremonious founders of Agapemone.
Such enormous misapprehension of all the responsi-
bilities of foreign statesmanship, such sand-blind
ignorance of the veriest rudiments of the
seience of diplomacy, such elaborated dulness
and redundant • folly, were perhaps never be-
fore heaped together within the'"compass of_
a single discussion. Beyond which, throughout the
whole of these attacks upon the Greek policy of
Lord PALMERSTON, and consequently by implication
of her MAJESTY'S Government, 'the real matter
of debate was entirely overlooked. Hence,
after wading through this terrific series of
vituperations, and after witnessing the 'exultation of
my Lord STANLEY and his admirers over the majority
of 37—it is with an irresistible sense of the ludicrous
that we find the whole ' subject of their onslaught
dissipated .by a very simple letter from Mr. WYBR,
the Ambassador, and Viscount PALMERSTON and
the rest of, her MAJESTY'S Ministerial advisers fully.,
and explicitly exonerated by a single intimation re-
ceived from a Paris correspondent. The epistle
from Mr. WYSE =to which we refer, dated
Athens, May the 31st,. after expressing' astonish-
ment and indignation at the false charges contained in
General LA IIITTE'S letter of recall to M. Daourx
DE L'IIIITS/ exposes the folly of those accusations in
the folloWing counter statement : •
"It is true that the ' Vauban,' French steam-frigate
arrived here on the 24th of April, 'with dispatches for
Baron Gros, and equally true from the statement of Mr.
O'Brien to Mr. Griffith (whose letter on the subject
I have the honour to inclose), that these dispatches con-
veyed to him the important intelligence that a Conven-
tion,' the essential bases of which were made known, had
been agreed upon in, London by the two powers, and was
already on its way to Athens, and it is quite possible that I
he may have communicated this information as soon as re-
ceived to the Greek Government and to the King,—to
Thouvenel, and, for aught I know, to other members
of the Corps Diplomatique. But it is entirely and
emphatically untrue that he made any such commu-
nication to me. On the 24th of April he wrote to me three
letters, copies of all which I have already had the honour to
enclose to your Lordship, and on referring to them your
Lordship will find that though he therein informs me that
the Vauban' brought' him good intelligence from
his own Government, he' makes no mention of a
Convention agreed upon in London by both Govern-
ments being on its way to Athens, and likely to arrive in a few
days, still less of any of the' essential bases' of the same, nor does
he use any' energetic representations' to induce me to await for
a few days longer its arrival. On the contrary, the whole ob-
ject and end of these letters was at direct variance with such
a communication. They urged me, not to wait for a Conven•
tion which was coming out, but to refer for fresh instructions,
which that Convention would' have rendered altogether un-
necessary, and to which, had I acceded, they could have
answered no other purpose, nor had any other effect, than to
embarrass, delay, and perhaps prevent, unless further
modified, the acceptance and execution of that Convention
by the Greek Government. He did not ask for the delay of
a few days only, but of nearly a whole month, for such
would have been the time required before I could receive an
answer to this proposed application for fresh instructions.
" Baron Gros made me no other communication than these
three letters, excepting the letter of 30th April (iticlosnre in
No. 3 of papers presented on 17th of May); nor did I see him
after my last conference with him on board the Inflexible
(April 21st) until the day (May Ist) when he dined at my
house in Athens with Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker and
other officers, after the whole affair had been fully and
finally closed.

" further, I had not the slightest intimation until after such
close, of the existence or probable arrival of such a document
as the Convention, nor can I 'for a moment believe
that ' its bases' stated by Generil Lahitte to have
been already known at Athens,' were ever heard of
beyond the Court, Government, and some members of
-the Corps Diplomatique. Had I had such intimation, or a
suspicion to that effect, I, in conjunction with Sir William
Parker, would of course most willingly have continued to
suspend coercive operations and have been happy to
avail myself in a more formal manner of the sanction
already given by the French Government by their signa-
ture of the treaty, to the justice of our demands on the
Greek Government."a

The intimation spoken of above, as coming from a
Paris correspondent, is to the effect that General LA-

HITTE and the Marquis of NORMANDY have had an

interview, which, coming after similar conferences

between the English Ambassador and the French

ERESIDENT, has resulted in the amicable settlemen

of existing difficulties.

Such is the consequence of last night's formidable
attack in the House of Lords upon Viscount PAL-
MERSTON : the adverse majority of thirty-seven and
the rhetoric of the redoubtable STANLEY are simul-

taneously quashed by a letter and a paragraph.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
A Cabinet Council was held at the Elysee on Sun-
day, on the subject of the report of the Committee on
the Dotation Bill. MM. BAROCUE and ROUIIIER
proposed that the Ministers should at once resign, a
proposition that was stoutly opposed by M. FOULD,
the Finance Minister; and after a long discussion
the Ministers sent for M. TRIERS. On his arrival
the discussion was renewed, but the Council separated
without coming to any decision.
It is said that office was offered to M. VATISMENIL
as an inducement to the Legitimatists to support th e
Dotation Bill, but that gentleman declined.
Three horses and a beautiful mare, sent as a
present to the PRESIDENT of the Republic by
the Imaum of MUSCAT, have been landed at Mar-
seilles.

Mr. SWINBURNE, an English engineer, has ar-
rived in Switzerland to make the preliminary pre-
parations for laying out lines of railway previous to
the arrival of Mr. STEPHENSON, who is expected in
August.
