EMIGRATION FROM CORNWALL.—A meeting of
the Cornwall Central Committee appointed to administer
fund for the relief of distress in the mining districts in
the county met at Catnborne on Tuesday, and voted £220
for emigration purposes. The balance of the fund in hand
is £l,lOO. A vast amount of distress is reported, and it is
stated that three additional mines in West Cornwall will
cease working and be abandoned in the course of the next
few weeks.

TIIE MARCH OF INTELLECT.—Heat expands
bodies, you say. I am reminded of the remark of a
learned little boy. The late Prince Consort once paid a
visit to a school, and heard the teacher make one of the
classes go through what is termed in the phrase-
ology of pedagogues an object lesson. " Now, can you
tell me anything about heat ?" was one of the questions.
A. bright little man held forth his hand, as much as to say
that he could. "Nell, now, boy," said the teacher, t 4 what
do you know ?" " Heat expands," said the boy, in
the jerky style of delivery characteristic of his years.
"Heat expands—cold contracts." The teacher looked
at the prince for approval ; the prince bowed his head and
smiled approbation. The teacher, eager for more such
smiles, wont on. " Very good," he said, " now give me
an example." "In summer the days are long ; in winter
the days are short."—Once a Week.

Eastern Railway over a road at Becclos, Suffolk, was de-
stroyed by fire. A spark from an engine is supposed to
have ignited parched grass along the line, and the flames
then spread to the bridge, which was rapidly destroyed.
Prompt arrangements worn successfully made to prevent
any serious interruption of the traffic.

Cholera is reported to have broken out amongst

The Journal de Paris credits the news given by

alliance on the point of being formed between Aus-
tria and Prussia such alliance would be in accord-
