Correspondcsce of the journal Of Commeloe.

LONDON, 22d March, 1881.
There has not been any express confirmation of the
report prevailing, as wrote on the 18th of an ex-
petition to the Scheldt; but it is universally believed
that some naval force of agnitude is to be immedi-
ately employed TO enforce the determinations either
OF the British Cabinet, or else as many suppoge of
inc AIifes conformity. There is at least no doubt
that all the men Of the preventive service are to be
removed shortly from the revenue to the naval ser
! wee. Their number is about 5000. The army will
also be more disposabe fsrce in CONSEQUENCE of the
yeomanry volunteers being at the present moment
IN course of preparation for replacing the REGULAR
soldery on the home station if their services should
be required abroad.
The new Ministry of France disclaim the obHgn
non OF supporting their avowed principle of non in
PREVENTION by recourse 10 arms which thew saw oud
oS intervention, and Sou, the most influential mem
Der OF the Cabinet, declares that the Ministers are
unanimous IN their views They manifest strong
ueSreS and even hopes of maintaining peace and al.
gh SEBASTIAN acknowledged to La Fayette in the
oeoate OF the 7th that he had signfed to the Aus
tran Court that France would never consent to the
entrance OF Austrian troops into Italy, yet in an ear
lIer stage of the debate he had argued against the
PIoPrlety OF forcible co operation with the Beog-
nese' whom he accused Of having themselves violated
the principle of noninteryention bv forcing Modsna
against its will to capilulate.
IL is worthy of observation however that the
french Cabinet do not expressly renounce every ap
gea 70 arms IN case their negotiations should fall nor
40 they promise to confne themselves exclusively to
simple Temonstrances. They no doubt reserve TO
themselves the right Of deciding according to the ex
genGles OF each particular occasion. Their conduct
auu language under any other construction would
only be interpreted as carte blanche to Austria to
dispose of the disturbed states of Italy at her own
whether the French nation is 10 be restrained
nom more active interference in the conflicts now
gong oD--and whether the present Ministry are re
ally disposed TO counteract the obvious impulse of
'he nation, or are only waiting for the fitting hour
and whether Ministry with sucb Disposition if it
De sincere can mould the people and the legislature
istence in spite Of the national sentiment by an ex-
hlollIon Of overwhelming, organized and disciplined
military strenght-are grave questions which will be
decided before long, but at present admit Of no easy
or satisfactory solution. II is limited to-day that |
combined force Of French and English men of war /
IS to be stationed of Antwerp and that Dc Chokicr
has moderated his views upon Luxembourg.

StarUing Juries.-We have always con- sidered this requisition of the common law as a barbarous relic of antiquity, which should be secuted from our jurisprudence. What is the value of an opinion extorted from the fainting and exhausted energies of nature? It is a mean, contemptible appeal to a man, to address his mind and conscience through the medium of his stomach, to say nothing of the inhumanity of compelling him, through fear of starvation, to stiHe the operations of con- science and act in opposition to his settled convictions of propriety. If Juror should die from the effects of hunger, what cogni- zance should be taken,of this judicial murders fla jailor should starve felon under sentence of death, he would be hung for it, but it seems there is no harm in starving Juror. Judges frequently hesitate in the formation of their opinion for weeks, but whoever heard of a proposal to imprison or starve Judge until he decided cause Judges too, where the Courts are so constituted, are allowed to dif- fer, and the majority governs-but jurymea are not permitted to differ or hesitate. It is high time a regulation, so absurd in principle and cruel in practice, should be done away.

Encyciohedia An,ericana. sixth vo- lume ot Messrs Carey and Lea's American Encyclopedia, is just published. A cursory examination, which is all that we have yet had leisure to give it, authorises the expecta- tion that the present volume will be found to sustain in all respects, the exalted character awarded to this work. Through the series thus far, the enterprising publishers have been evidently less solicitous of profit, than of presenting work in all respects worthy of enlightened American patronage. To attain this primary object, so creditable to their pub lie spirit, no labor nor expense is spared And if the value of the work shall be appre- ciated in any just degree, they cannot fail, we think, in the end, to reap an adequate pecu- niary reward. We heartily hope this may be the case, if merely to serve as an incentive to future exertions in the same feld-so ho'- orable to the parties, so useful to the public. BaL. Patrioh

From the New-Esglnad Weekly Review.

 MARRIAGE OF THE DEAF AND DUMB. No word no sound and yet solemn rite Proceedeth mid the festive lighted hall. Hearts are in treaty-and the soul doth take That oath which unabsolved must stand till Death With icy seal doth close the scroll of life No wordi no sound and still yon holy man, With strong and graceful gesture, hath imposed The irrevocable VOW; and with meek prayer, Hath sent it to be registered'n heaven. MethinlSs this silence heavily doth brood Upon the spirit. Say, thou ilowercrowned bride, What means the sigh that from thy ruby lip Doth 'scape, as if to seek some element That angels breathe7
 Mute!-Mute !-'tis passing strangel Like necr0mancy all. And yet lis well. For the deep trust with which amaiden casts Her all of earth-perchance her all of heaven, Into a mortal hand-the confidence With which she turns in every thought to him, Her more than brother, and her next to God Hath never yet been meted out in words, Or weighed with language.
 So, ye voiceless pair, Pass on in hope. For ye may build as firm Your silent altar in each others hearts, And catch the sunshine through the clouds of time, As cheerly as though the pomp of speech Did herald forth the deed. And when ye dwell Where flowers fade not and death no treasured tie Hath power to sever more--ye need not mourn The ear sequestrate and the tuneless tongue; For there the eternal dialect of love Is the free breath of every happy soul.

Poland. country, now the spot of pe- cular interest on the globe, first took it's name and rose into existence as a Dukedom about the $50 of the Christian era. The name ofits first Legislator was Leehus. About the year 1000 it was erected into kingdom. The first king name was Boleslaus. In 1067 Boiesiaus 2d conquered Russia. After the death of Bolesaus 2d, Poland became county, but was again erected into kingdom towards the 18th century. In 1772 the first partition of Poland took place between Russia, Prussia, and Austria. In I791 a new constitution was formed, and the crown, which had hitherto been elective, was made hereditary. The fol- lowing year Poland was invaded by Russia and Prussia, and reduced to a state of anar- chy and another slice taken from her territory. In l794 Kosciusko rose against the Russians, and after several heroic battles was taken prisoner 1795 the final partition of Poland took place between Russia, Prussia, and Aus tria The king, Stanislaus Poniatowski, re- signed his crown to the Russian Minister, and was permitted to retire into Russia, where he died in 1798. in 1881 Poland again rose a. gainst her oppressors; and whether she is to stand or fall, yet remains to be determined. -Portiand Courier.

Advertising Wives.-This is a custom which would be "more honored in the breath than in the observance" Itis too prevalelt among our periodicals-and we think it a d's- grace to the American Press Under thIs in pression, we propose to our cotemporaries tht they exclude from their papers all such al- vertisements. We shall do so--and for tie following reasons
 A man comes into printing office, and gives an e1harte statement of his wife, ard begs that she be advertised. Now this sim pie fact, alone, is, of itself, amply sufficien, to convince us of the injustice of acceding 10 his request. The wife is not present to cou,- teract by her testimony, the testimony of her husband ;and we have no right to place any con' fdence in whathe says, until he makes good his charges by irrefragable proof. is such a plain and common rule of justice, that it mus, be admitted by every man who is not destitute of reflection. There is also palpable vio- lation of the common decencies of life, in lift ing up the curtain of domestic privacy for the gaze of vulgar observation, n,-and this no mar should do who values his own reputation, oi properly appreciates the feelings of society. Beside all this, we really think that in ninty- nine cases out of hundred, the violation o the matrimonial vows are altogether attribu- table to the misnomered Lords of Creation. A good and affectionate husband will make the partner of his bosom good and affection ate wife. This IS a fact WnICn Is wcIl kuUwn to all, who are acquainted with the devoted ness of woman's love, and is another and con elusive proof that those advertising gentry are generally the authors of disgrace.-[ Ma con .AdUerfiser.

then, the post-office did not seem to claim right to distribute them as now.
 In 1755, the delivery of letters by the pen ny-post was first began. At the same time began the practice of advertising remaining letters in the office. The letters for all tic | neighboring counties went to Philadelphia, and lay there till called for-thus letters fol Ncwtown, Bristol, Chester, New Castle, Sc. are to be called for in Philadelphia. Even at that period the northern mail goes and returns but once week in summer, ard once fortnight in winter, just as it did $ years before.
 But in 1754, month of October, a new im- pulse is given, so as to start for New-Yor thereafter, on Monday, Wednesday, and Fri day; and in the winter, once week. This, therefore, marks the period of new era in the mail establishment of our country. It owed this impulse, extending also to Boston, to the management of our Franklin, who was made postmaster general.
 In 1755, the postmaster general, Benjamin Franklin, publishes, that to aid the trade, Slc. he gives notice that, thereafter, the win ter northern mail from Philadelphia to New England, which used to set out but once a fortnight, shall start once week all the year round, whereby answers may be obtained to letters between Philadelphia and Boston, in three weeks, which used to require six weeks!" Tn 1758, newspapers which aforetime were carried post free per mail, will, by reason of their great increase, be charged thereafter to the small price of 9d. year for fifty miles, Is. Cd. for 100 miles. This was, most proba7 ply, the private emolument of the rider; the papers themselves not having been mailed at all, it is probable.
 Finally, in l774, which brings colonial things nearly to its final close, by the war of independence, soon after, we read that John Perkins engages to ride post to carry tie mail once week to Baltimore, and will take along or bring back led horses or any par cells"

Hk-W have been presented with beau tiful specimen of sewing silk, raised and manufactured by Miss D. Smith, daughter of MT John Smith, of Wake Forest. We think it equal to any imported silk we nave ever seen, and reflects great credit on the fair hand by which it was wrought. It always af- lords us pleasure to notice such instances of enterprise and industry as this, and the fol- lowing, which we extract from the Union, published at Washington, in this State:-Ra- leigh .M C.

 Domestic IndnStry.-A gentleman residing in this neighborhood made his appearance in town, few days ago, attired in complete suit of Sik-the hroduct of his ozon .ffiatory; the whole process of culture, spinning, weaving and making, having been performed on his own farm, and by his own family. The fabric, in appearance, nearly resembles .Angoia, but is much softer, and evidently superior de- scription of goods. It surpasses any domes- tic fabric of the kind we have ever seen. The pantaloons, and stockings.
 We have no doubt, from what we have al- ready witnessed, that the culture of silk in North Carolina will, in the course of few years, become branch of industry, claiming the attention of many of our industrious and contemplating farmers. In measure, it will rival the growth of cotton, and become an article of not only domestic utility, but of re- venue to the country. Those who have at tempted its culture with proper attention, have always found their efforts crowned with success, and they will yet deserve the grati- tude of the people for reducing the theory to successful practice.

The tehid bath is applicable to all diseases to which the cold effusion may be applied, and is generally preferred when there is any doubt of the strength being sufficient to react after cold immersion. It possesses very con- siderable efficacy in reducing the general e'z- citement, and in lowering and lessening the frequency of the pulse in fever; it is safe, in a high degree grateful, and may be extended to almost the whole class of febrile diseases, such as typhus, scarlet fever, small pox, S:c. @ fancy. During the time of puberty, that is. for about two years at that period, cold and sea bathing should be avoided, both in the case of boys and girls; but the tepid bath may then be used with great advantage. .

ed in tho language of sxaggeration and the source from which they have been received is not stated:
 The following are the details of the sacking of Warsaw:-The refusal of the Polish army to capi- tuate in which they were supported by "a part of the population highly irritated the Russl ans and they came to the assault with unexamped exaspera- tion. They placed their scaling ladders at many points that the 24 900 men of the Polish army were
 insufficient to protect the whole circuit of the city, The first efforts of the Russians ineifecual;l and they were repulsed at every point Their ngeI however redoubled and, in some places they raised mounds of their dead to fill up the ditches Ane1
 thirty hours of almost incessant fighting they entered by part of the walls which was not so we'll guard ed as the rest The Polish army then retired in good order, constantly followed by the Russians; but al part of the populace still resolved to hold out and here the scene became most horrible. Almost all
 who had taken active part in the late political
 movements, defended themselves to the last, and sold their lives dearly. Their resistance redoubled the fury of the Russians-neither the women norl their infants spared. It is said that the agents of several powers interfered but the Field Marshall declared that it was impossible for him at the mol
 men to restrain his troops their first entering; he however, promised that they should be prevented from continuing their punder and violence. Almost every door that was not openeI forced, and ali the horrors of war ensued
