One Of those simple improvements IN tht
construction Of lng-known article, has 1e
Gently been announced in England, in regard
to the cumming of envelopes, consisting II
applying TIE mucllage to tho lover part Of the
envelope, instead of the flap. On moistenlnl
the edge of the flap, as usual, and pressing il
down upon the gummed surface below, a very

objection Of getting the taste Of the gum in
the mouth, or removing part OF it BY the
tongue.
in criminal prosecutions in France, barris-
ters are never seen speaking now for the ac-
cused, and now for the prosecution. Once ell
listed in one OF these two contending armies, a
barristcr is bound for life to see and convict
guilt IN every case, or, On the coHtTa1y, to sup
port and protect innocence. This is the result
OF the government system of employing attor-
neys for life to serve in all its courts. Each
Procureur-G General or Procureur Imperial is
surrounded by staff of lawyers known as
orocdts qenerau1 or substltuis. These are
wholly severed from the bar, and enlisted ia
the public service. 1t is from this class Of
lawyers that the judges are chosen.
"A case which excites extrao binary inter-
est, was recently commenced in the Court of
Queens Bench, England. The plaintiff, Miss
Saurin, sues Mrs. Starr, Superioress OF the Ro-
man Catholic Convent of Hull, on charge of
conspring with other persons to secure her
expulsion from the convent; demands restora-
ton of certain small articles belonging to her,
and asks $4,000 worth OF damages for libel.
an accusation of theft contained in letter
from The Superioress to the Roman Catholic
Bishop of Beverley. The case is nearly unique,
the lady's complaint being, not that she was
kept in convent-the usual form Of such COM
plaints-but tina. she was driven out by a sys-
tenn OF petty persecution. The persecution
took the form OF compelling her to do menial
work, eat bad food, and generally submit to
discomfort; and the defence will probably be
either that the facts are untrue, and the bu-
miiations were inflicted for the souls health,
or that, having been canoDically expelled, the
complaining nun was really pauper boarder.
The International, Of London and Paris,
Of the Sd ms ant, publishes plan of Count
Bismarck's geographical views respecting tho
future of Europe. The most striking feature
is the solid and square proportions given to
the Prussian empire, the frontiers Of which are
indicated as follows: To the north along the
Baltic from the Yistula to the frontiers Of Hol-
land, including Denmark; to the southeast it
avoids Cracow and Vienna, but includes Bohe-
mia, Bavaria and Wurtemburs on to the right
shore of the Rhine, the left being ceded to
France. Switzerland and Holland are left, as
il were in doubt, the frontier hne not being
in either case carried past the present boun-
daries of those countries. Berlin is indicated
as the imperial capital, while Hanover, Posen,
Dresden, Prague Stuttgart aud Munich are
classified as the seats of yiceroyalties. Austria
and the Principalities e.e entitled the Dana-
bian Empire. The Russian liI.-its start from
the north at the mouth of tue Vstula and
strike off eastward at the city of Cracow, which
city is included in the Danubian empire. Ihe
line of the French empire follows the lett shore
of tho Rhine from the frontiers Of llollind to
the frontiers Of Switzerland.
An accident probably without parallel oc-
Cured Oh The 4th instant, to number of gen.
tle1aen whilst hunting. Tho York and Ainsty
hounds met at Siaiuby House, between Har-
rowsate and R,pon, and fox was found at
Monktoa Wyn. It took the direction toward
Copgrove, and thence to Newly. The hounds
crossed the river Ure nearly opposite Newly
House, the residence Of Lady Mary Vyner, and
sixteen or seventeen gentlemen entere.l sJar9e
ferry-boat, with their horses, for the purpose
of continuing the pursuit. Before the boat
had cot onc-third over the streIm one of the
horses began to plunge, aud something like
panic among the animals took place. The boat
WAS swayed first to one side and then to the
other, and finally it was capsized and turned
bottom upwards. The spectators on the bank
took prompt measures to rescue the persons
who were thus plunged into the swollen river.
Those who could thus swim cast off their coats
and plunged in to save their friends, whilst
Others formed lines of whips tied together, and
threw them within reach of the drowning men.
Several beams of wood VIII ch fortunately lav
scattered about were also quickly launched Oh
the stream. By these means several lives were
saved, but six of the party were unhapplly
drowned: Sir Charles Siinssby. Bart, Of
Scrren Park; Mr.. E. Lloyd, of LInrcroit, near
York; Mr. Edmund Robinson, of York; W.
