FronzaDr. Paris, of Dover-street, London.

" I have examined, and worn with comfort and satisfac-
tion, shoes constructed with intermediate soles of felt, to
which you have bestowed the name of Impelia. They un-
doubtedly possess an elasticity and capacity of adaptation to
the form of the foot, not possessed by ordinary shoes, and
they have the rare merit of not creaking. They are, more-
over, warm and dry, and I am not able to diacover any ob-
jection to their use on the score of health.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.

The Berlin papers of the 27th ultimo, on the faith of let-
ters from Hamburgh, give the whole of the afflicting particu-
lars connected with the shipwreck of the Russian line-of-
battle ship Ingermannland, on the Swedish coast, a short
notice of which appeared in our columns a few days ago.
The letter says—" The shocking account of the misfortune
which occurred to this ill-fated ship is, alas! true to its full-
est extent, and it is now ascertained to a certainty that the
number of those who have perished, and which was stated to
be 453, was not exaggerated. Unfortunately, it would ap-
pear that the captain of the ship thought of nothing but his
own personal safety, and he, who should have been the last
man to leave the ship, escaped in one of the boats, leaving
.the rest of the unfortunate crew to their fate. The Inger-
mannland, a 74-gun ship, commanded by Captain T. M.
Terchin, and, with a crew of 936 men, was on her voyage
from Archangel to Cronstadt. On the night of the 12th ul-
timo she got on shore on the sunk rocks to the eastward of
the Oroe Light, and continued beating on them for some
time. The sea, which at the time she struck was running
very high, broke over her, and strained her so much that she
became leaky, and it was found necessary to cut away the
masts, and to heave the guns overboard. The noise of her
signal guns having been heard, the steam-boat North Cape,
Lieutenant Sigholt, then lying in the harbour of Christian-
sand, was ordered to sea, for the purpose of rendering assist-
ance, but, owing to the thickness of the weather, she was
unable to discover the position of the wreck, although the
signal guns denoting her distress were distinctly heard. On the
following morning another attempt was made, which was
equally unsuccessful. In the meantime the wreck had got off
the rocks, and was drifting at no great distance from the high
land at Mandahl, when the bodies of nine rr.en and a woman
were washed ashore. Of the ship, nothing but the bowsprit
and fore bulwark could be seen, the latter of which appeared
crowded with people climbing to it. Accounts were instantly
sent off to Mandebl and to Christiansand, and every effort
was made, without loss of time, for the deliverance of the
crew. Two small vessels from Mandahl and the steam-boat
North Cape were instantly despatched to

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A gentleman of the of
Wagstaff, residing in Park-road, Regent's Park, name
was
retur-
ning home late on Monday evening, and when
his own door, stumbled and fell. While in nearly opposite
the act of falling,
he threw out his bands to save himself, and the violence withwhich they came in contact with the
dislo-
cation of each wrist, together with ground produced
arms.

We regret to observe by an article in the National that
extreme distress presses at this moment on the trading
classes of the French capital. That journal states, that
during the first eight days of the present month more than
60 sales under decrees issued from the courts of law had
taken place in Paris amongst the commercial classes. "In
this avalanche of commercial disasters," says the National,
" is comprised the celebrated Cafe Anglais, one of the oldest
and most celebrated establishments of the metropolis. The
extensive as well as small establishments fall. Affairs in
general are under the influence of an alarming crisis. Every
day are seen new shops closed on account of bankruptcy,
particularly in the fashionable quarters. '
