Mr. Levi has this •clay operated upon a corn under my great
toe-Lail with the greatest skil!, and in a short period of time.
The corn has been under my nail a long time, which caused it
to grow into the flesh, and thereby inflammation was incurred ;
but I am happy to state Mr. Levi has cured any toe entirely,
and I can walk now with the greatest ease. Ie: n, therefore,
recommend my friends who are suffering from the same cause
to pay a visit to Mr. Levi. R. STEELE.

MR. DUFFY'S LETTER TO SMITH O'BRIEN.

The following is Mr. Dnffy's letter to Mr. S. O'Brien,
found in the portmanteau of the latter, and written about
the latter end of June :

" Saturday.
"My dear Sir.—l am glad to learn that you are about
to commence a series of meetings in Munster. There is
no half-way house for you. You will be the head of the
movement, loyally obeyed, and the revolution will be con-
ducted with order and clemency ; or the mere anarchists
will prevail with the people, and our revolution will be a
bloody chaos. You have at present Lafayette's place,
so graphically painted by Lamartine, and I believe
fallen into Lafayette's error—that of not using it to all its
extent and in all its resources. lam perfectly well aware
that you don't desire to lead or influence others ; but I
believe with Lamartine that that feeling which is a high
personal and civic virtue is a vice in revolutions. One
might as well, I think, not want to influence a man who
was going to walk on thawing ice or to cross a fordless
river, as not to desire to keep men right in a political
struggle, and to do it with might and main. If I were
Smith O'Brien, I would strike out in my own mind, or
with such counsel as I.valued, a definite course for the re-
volution, and labour incessantly to develop it in that way.
For example, your project of obtaining signatures to the
roll of the National Guard, and when a sufficient number -
were produced, and not sooner, calling the Council of
Three Hundred was one I entirely relied upon : but it. has
been permitted to fall into disuse, and would scarcely be
revived now. The clubs, however, might take the place
of the National Guard, end the proposal in your letter on
, of a definite number of clubs being forined, would
just suit as well if it were vigorously and systematically
carried out, each day adding an item to it, and all the
own we could influence employed upon it.
" Forgive me for urging this S 3 anxiously upon you ;
but I verily believe the hopes of the country depend upon
the manner in which the next two months are used.
There is not a town in which you could not find a band of
missionaries to organise the neighbouring counties. Every
club has its active men fit for this work, and it is only by
applying all our force to it that we will succeed.

" With best regards to Mrs. O'Brien, believe me, my
dear Sir, very truly yours,

" C. G. DUFFY."

SCENE IN THE FRENCH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

On Friday a very stormy discussion took place in- the
National Assembly in Paris, which arose in this way:—
M. Denjoy .rose to address an interpellation to the Go-
vernment -relative to what took place at the Toulouse
banquet. It is now an acknowledged fact that the Red
Republicans have organised a system of banquets which
they expect to prove as fatal to the Moderate Republic as
those which preceded February were to the Monarchy.
The banquet at the Chalet. where Ledru Rollin delivered.
his Catalineian tirade, was the beginning of the work.
,Toulouse comes next, and it had been intended that
Rouen should have set the example in one direction,
while the former town gave the signal in another. South
and west would have blazed together, but the Prefect
of Rouen forbade the banquet. The authorities at
Toulouse were not so firm or so well disposed, but
of this by-and-by. The Toulousian Communists took
especial care that there should he no mistake as to
their sentiments. The pillars of the salle were painted
red. The bust of Liberty was placed on a red pedestal.
On a red piece of staff was inscribed organisation ei.4
nail. The bonnet rouge was placel on a pole. The health
of General Cavaignac was received with hisses. Similar
expressions of hatred marked the toast proposed to the
National Assembly. The guests danced the farandole,
one of those fiendish capers of the Terrorists of 1793,
amidst shouts of "Vive- Marat 1" " Mort arx riches !"
Mort nun t.....tir0 A L'•
" Vive Barbel !". " Vice la Gullotine !" These facts
were brought before the assembly by M. Denjoy, who
stated, moreover, that the authorities of Toulouse wel a
present, and did not protest against such conduct. And
here let us take from the newspaper reports the scene that
follows.

ItT. Denjoy.—Thus, messieurs, was the town of Toulouse
held in a state of alarm by this manifestation. And now
ask if it is by presenting the Republic under such colours
you hope to make it accepted by the populations ? Is it
thus, by what takes place at Toulouse, or the Chalet at
Paris—(Violent explosions of murmurs at the left—cries
of " order"—several members of the left rise and warmly
question the speaker—tumultuous agitation.)
The President.—l know not what may have taken place
at the banquet at Chalet, but we are now concerned with .
the proceedings at Toulouse, and nothing else.
After a brisk interchange of remarks between the right
and left,

M. Denjoy.—lt is no easy matter to drive me from my
purpose (]gitation becomes greater and greater.)
Several voices from the left.—You insult 150 of your -
colleagues who were at the Chalet.

The President.—l invoke the assembly to moderation
and silence.

M. Denjoy.—l shall only name the banquet at Tou-
louse and l ask the assembly if it is by evoking the souve-
nirs of 1793—if it is by promising to the young Republic
assignats and foreign propagandism—and if it is by hold-
ing out the prospect of the guillotine ?
The left rose in a body, uttering cries of fury and
making threatening gestures.
M. Duvignier rushes to the tribune, which he attempts
to mount, hut is kept back by the huissiers.
M. Clement Thomas attempts to mount also from the
other side, and is equally kept back.
A crowd of representatives quit their places, and come
down. some from the right and others from the left.
Several members interpose, and appear to apprehend that
the animation may degenerate into personal rencontres.
The tumult becomes so great that the expression, de tin-
tamarre, employed by. the President Marrast, would give
but a feeble idea •of it. M. Corbon, the vice presidnt,
puts on his hat, and even that does not calm this violent
storm. At length, after a quarter of ,an hour, the agita-
tion being diminished, the sitting is resumed.
Such is a literal translation of the newspaper reports of
a portion of the scene. M. Denjoy, notwithstanding a
continuous fire of interruptions, proceeded next to give an
account of similar occurrences at Bourges, and concluded
by calling on the ministers to say if thete were not present
and taking part at those banquets, mayors, municipal
councillors, prefects, and law officers of the Republic, and
other functionaries.

COUNTY COURT JUDGES.—The salaries of the 60
County Court judges commenced'on Saturday in pursu-
ance of an Order in Council. Each judge will be paid a
salary of £1,600 n-year from the 30th of September.
In Sinyrna no case of cholera had occurred since the
12th ultimo. The bazaars had re-opened, and several
families had returned to town from the country, whither
they had fred for safety from the terrible scourge.
The Emancipation of Toulouse relates an extraordi-
nary attempt at suicide. A soldier, in the military hos-
pital, attempted to destroy himself a few days ago by dri-.
ving into his temple a long nail, using a large stone as the
hammer. The insane man was not dead, but there were
no hopes of saving him.
At about noon on the 6th ult., another fierce fire broke.
out in the Christian quterer of Constantinople, named Tek-
lcir Serail, situated on the heights of the Vanal, and in less
than four hours consumed ueveards of 500 buildings.
In summing up the list -of fires which have broken our
since the year 1841, it appears upwards of 13,750 houses
have been consumed, and the loss of property is grossly
estimated at'about 1,200,00000 piastres.
THE LATE LORD GEORGE BENTINCK.—The town
council of Lynn have held a meeting for the purpose of
adopting an address to the Duke of Portland, condo-
ling with his grace on the death of Lord George Ben-
tinck. Rumour is already rife with regard to the election
of a successor to the deceased nobleman in the represen-
tation of the town. The Protectionists are nnxiotts to
invite Lord John M nuers, as being one of the leaders of
the party, and as being an intimate friend of Lord George
Bentinek. Mr. G. P. Bidder, the engineer of the Nor-
folk line, has been spoken of by a section of the liberal
electors. Mr. Baxendale, who was for a long time past
actively associated with Lord George Bentinck in the,
Nerfollt Estuary, has also been mentioned as the deceased
nobleman's probable successor.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, as two girls,
named Hannah Andrews and Ann Saunders, were engaged
in cleaning a window of the first fitter, at 8. Percy-street,
Pentonville, their attention being attracted by something
occurring in the street, they went out on a balcony about
four or isve feet in length. when its fastenings to the wall
giving way, the whole vere precipitated het° the street.
The former girl, furl rmately failing on the door step, es-
caped with little injury ; the latter fell with the balcony
into the area, a distance of about 30 feet. In her descent
she appears to have come in contact with the area rail-
in s, one spike of which, entering the socket of the right
eye, completely dislodged it from its position, at the same
time entirely crushing the bones of the nose. Another
spike appears to have .entered the shoulder through the
dress above the collar bone, causing a severe lacerated
wound. The poor sufferer was found lying in the area,
surrounded by the remains of the balcony, and the ball of
the eye some distance from her. It is feared she will not
recover.
