.SuPEnNUMEnARY FINeERs.-A discussion upon
tho subject OF supernumerary fingers which took
place at a recent meeting OF the Surgical Society
OF Paris, was somewhat remarkable for the dis
crepancy OF opinion which was elected as to the
frequency Of the occurrence, and is on that ac-
and accidents of which the statistican mny be the
sport. One physician had observed numerous in
stances of extra fingers during a two years resi-
dence at the Founding Hospital; another could
not regard the defOrmity rarity; while a third
declared that among about 10 900 new born infants
which had come under his notice he had met will
an extra finger but once; the fourth speaker as
serted, on the contrary, that the deformity in
question must be very common, for he had him
that he had seen not only great number Of in
stances Of supernumerary fingers, but even of su
pernumerary hands.
Speaker number six remarked that during hi
twenty-five years practice at the Maternite Hos
pital he had not met with more than ten OF thes
cases, and that in statistical record of the Lon
don and Vienna lying-in hospitals, comprising a
gle instance Of the deformity in question had oc
CURED. The.third speaker re-entered the discus
sion for the purpose of remarking that the lon
service OF his master (sixth speaker at the Mater
mite, joined with his own observations at the sam
hospital and also at the Clinque, furnished tn
somewhat formidable number of from 90, 600 +
100, 600 infants, among whom only twelve or thir
teen cases Of extra fingers had been observed
= this point II. Velpeau turned the subject b
often throws In the way Of the medical practition
er, and cited, as 90 example from his own OF
perfence Che fact that he had once In privat
practice met with three instances OF fracture @
the neck Of the thigh-bone upon the same day.

They fell back to defensible place and then
fought the Turks with desperation The IoIAs
laid waste the country and burned the SiiiIE se'
as far as Sourba, stronghold just 6enlilu
riso. There battle ensued; winch foa,r Of
some three sdays. The Turks niaue 49, to.o ~ %e
tempts to take the place by storm, put were 70,
nulsed each time with great loss :, betweeh
these assauIts they bombarded the Candlotes,
hnt w;thout effect, and it is reported that when
tha Tnrks finally retreated, as they did on the
fnmrth day, their dead and wounded amounted
to over 5000.
This number cannot be relied upon, but it is
certain that they retreated to the plains again.
Shortly after, an outlying detachment of 16O
men was surprised by the Candiotes and ev-
cry man killed -s.p
AT last accounts Mustapha Pasha was quiet
and considering what to do next. Meanwhile
the Turks are committing atrocities which re-
call the scenes of the Greek revolution. The
Candiotes retaliate at every opportunity, and
so far as can be learned from the most trust
worthy sources their enthusiasm was never
greater than now. Re-enforcements from
| Greece with arms and ammunition are arriv-
ing every day, in spite of the Turkish block
ade. Even steamers succeed in running in

LETTER OF THE FIRST MISUNDERSTANDING
the recent transfer of the archives of the state
department to the building on Fourteenth
street, Washington, some of the papers fell in
to public hands. The following characteristic
letter OF the first Napoleon, written in French,
was among them. 1t is presumed that the
American minister referred to was the lannon's
John Armstrong, afterwards Secretary of
War:

all ridiculous that he writes of things that one
doeanot comprehend. 1 prefer that he should
write In English, but at length, and in a man
ner that we can understand. How is it that in
affairs so important he contents himself with
writing letters of four lines? Speak to the
Secretary who is here; speak also to the Sec
rotary who is about arriving from America
Send by courier extraordinary disnatcb in

government is not represented here-that ;t

morose man, with whom one cannot deal: that
all obstacles would be removed if we had an
envoy to talk with. Write in detail on the
matter Let me know what effect the letter
from Altenburg has had in the United States;
what has been done. and what is proposed.
Write to America in such a manner that the
President may know what a fool has been sent
here. NAPOLEON.

The Crefan War.

The latest dispatches by the Atlantic cable
contradict the report that the Cretan insurgents
have submitted to the Turks, and confirm the
statements of the following letter from spec
lal correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune at Con-
stantinople. The letter is dated Oct. 20:
Kirlth Mustapha Pasha has been announcing
Tor some weeks past that he had perfected a
plan for the humiliation of the rebels at one
blow.
In view ofhis prospective success. La Turouie
the official organ of the Porte, stated last week
that the Cretan difficulty had passed away-
the rebels being now anxious to submit.
The most trustworthy private advices give
the details of Mustapha Pasha's plan and Of his
attempt to carry it into execution. 1t is the
old story of the King marching up the hill and
then marching down again The plan was very
good, but the rebels were in the way when the
Pasha came to the execution of it, He concea-

NEWSPAPER CREDTrs.-The Bangor Wing
the other day called us to account for neglect
ing to give credit for paragraph alleged to
have been taken from its columns. After some
investigation, we concluded that the paragraph
in question must have been one which was
found adrift aud copied without knowing its
origin We observe more recently that the
Wing has credited two or three items which
originally appeared in the Press, to the Adver-
err This of course, was by mistake. The New
York Post the other day did the same thing,
crediting letter from our Dartmouth CORES
pondent to the Portland Advertiser. These ac-
cidents occur constantly. We published a
. week OF two since an interesting communica-
ton respecting the burial of Maine soldiers in
Southern cemeteries. The article was copied
without credit into the New York Times thence
into the Boston Advertiser, and thence by our
neighbor of the Star. No honest journalist
wilfully appropriates auother's news; but the
opportunities for mistake or omission are so
numerous, that with the best intentions it is
impossible always to be right Some of our
friends have habit ofcrediting IAN exchange"
with items which have a familiar look. We
are inclined to regard that as a piece of need
less trouble. If they don't choose to admit
that their news is taken from the Press, there
is no meet say anything about it,

STARTLING EXPOSURE.

The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Republican, says the New York
Journal Of Commerce has just made
startling exposure of the falsity of the
Official reports of the Treasury under the
administrations of Secretaries CHASE and
FEssEYDEN The returns of exports and
imports, as given in these reports for the
fiscal years of ls6l-2-3-4, show an az
gregate excess for those years of nearly
two hundred millions of dollars. The
returns of each year show a large excess
of exports. These facts, of course, Off
cially proclaimed, presented on their face
a dazzling exhibition Of commercial
prosperity during a period of fagrant
and desolating war This prosperity,
however, even if the official statements
we're true, was only apparent, since the
value of our imports is given at the for
eign cost in gold, and the value of our
exports is given at the market price in
paper currency at the port of shipment.
But it seems that a revision of these
returns made by Secretary McCULLocH,
show an excess of imports, instead of
exports, Of near one hundred millions Of
dollars, without including the difference
between gold and currency values, which,
il added would very largely increase, if
it did not even double, this excess. Here,
then, IS a discrepancy in their official re-
turns on this one subject, between the
present Secretary and his two predeces
sors Of the black Republican regime Of
about three hundred millions Of dollars
A very small matter, surely, in these
times Of loyal economy.
