In another column We publish the prospectus
of the Photographic Magazine" to be edited
and published by two gentlemen, for whose
ability to make their periodical all that it purports
TO be, we can vouch. When writing ia a necessity,
as in this age it has become to all persons of cul
ture and intelligence, it is certainly desirable to
possess the best and speedest means of commit
ting thoughts to paper. Phonography, a strictly
philosophic and legib.e system of phonetic short
hand, provides the means of writing words as
rapidly as they are spoken. If you would secure
the subtle thoughts that Cow into your own mind,
or that you feel worth preserving while listening
to the spoken thoughts of others, learn phono.
graphy. If you are a physician, and would pre-
serve q record of your cases, so that from your
accumulated experience you may help to evolve
the laws of health and disease, learn photography.
If you are minister, and would save fve-sxths
of the time you at present employ in writing your
notes. or celebrating your sermons in full, learn
photography. If you are lawyer, and would
secure the fieeting testimony on which may de-
pend the fortune life, or honor of your Client learn
phonouaphy. If you are student, and would
fully benefit by the oral instruction of your pro-
fessors and teachers, lie arm photography. Ifyou
are desirous of qualifying yourself for the useful
and honorable profession of a reporter-should
your education and abilities in other respects
warrant such a determination-learn phono-
erapby, for it is not only lucrative calling, but
to young men Of talent il is one of the most GER
tain stepping stones to a position of honor and
emolument. If you would learn photography in
a series of short lessons, read the prospectus of
the Photographic Magazine, and think well over
the advantages to be derived from knowledge
of shorthand before you lose this opportunity Of
acquiring it.

COMMONWEALTH VS.. ROCHE.-This case
vas called before Judge Burnham yester-
day, the grand jury having amended the
indictment and returned q " true bill for
felony. Mr.. Johnson, counsel for the ac-
cused, appealed earnestly to the court that
it 20 at once into the trial, urging that the
case was one which had been the subject Of
much gossip and unjust ventilation through
the press, and that in justice to his client
it should be disposed>of without delay. He
was very anxious to correct prevailing mis-
apprehensions very damaging to the stand
ing and character Of Mr.. Roche, and he
thought the case one which should present
itself, if but for mere charity, to the court
for speedy trial. he was confident that the
charges against him could be entirely re-
futed, and that in very short time and
with the examination Of but few witnesses.


Mr.. Sturdivant, for the Commonwealth,
had no objection to entering at once into the
trial but he did not think the case could
be gotten through with in time for the ad-
journment of the court for the term, which
was but few hours off. From what he
knew of the case, it would take some time
to get through with it, and he would be sur
prised if it did not.


1t being found that no Uerire had been
summoned, the court conceded with the
Commonwealth attorney, and after some
desultory discussion refused to enter into
the case. 1t was accordingly adjourned
until the next term. Of the court. ~

MCVEIGH VS.. UNDERwOoD.-The case OF
McVeigh against Underwood was before
Chief Justice Chase in Richmond four
months since, and the plaintiffs counsel
submitted their argument. Owing to the
family aff1iction of Mr.. Chandler, the coun-
sci for United States, for the benefit of Un-
derwood, Judge Chase extended him three
weeks time to submit his written argu-
ment, when he said his decision would
be forwarded to the clerk of the court to
enter up, in order that either party desiring
to do so might appeal from his decision to
the Supreme Court Of the United States.
We have now learned that the papers in
the -case-by what management we know
not-have not yet reached the hands of the
Chief Justice, Underwood remaining in
possession Of MeVeigh's property, whose
counsel urged the Chief Justice to decide
the case at last term, as it had already been
virtually decided by the decision of two
similar cases in the Supreme Court. I'm
derwood wants time, as the decision would
end his possession. Between the District
Attorney, the Chief Justice, and other
officers of the Federal Government, it 80
happens that after lapse Of four months
the whereabouts Of the papers in the cause
are not known. One account is they were
sent to the Chief Justice another, that
they were sent to Underwood's counsel,
Chandler. The result is that Underwood
remains in possession. And we learn by
telegraph that the Chief Justice is now
preparing to set out upon his southern cir
cult, from which he will return to the Su-
preme Court and another June will re-
turn, and no decision, and Underwood still
in possession.

There is unfortunately only too much
reason TO fear that the recovery Of the
unhappy Princess will be neither 50
speedy nor so complete as was inferred
from the improvement which took place
on the removal of Her Majesty from


Miramar to Lcaken. Withdrawn from
the rigorous isolation to which she was
ordered by the medical men at Miramar,
and having returned 10 scenes dear TO
the recollec;ions OF her youth and TO the
bosom of the royal family OF Belgium,


where she is surrounded with the most
affectionate attentions, the detected spirits
of the Empress Carlotta appeared to re-


vive, and she seemed By degrees TO as.
sumo her former serenity.


Her Majesty beguiled her leisure with
painting, and by keeping up n correspond
encc with the members of the Imperial
family of Austria and other friends, in
walking in the beautiful park Of Leaken,
or by carriage exercise in the environs of
the palace. She took her meals regularly
in company with the King and Queen Of
the Belgians; in short, with the excep-
ton of certain little restraints which were
still necessary, she appeared to be IN
fair way of perfect recovery. Suddenly,
in the beginning of June, on the approach
of the anniversary Of the Queretare, sym
toms of internal agitation manifested
themselves 10 such degree as 10 occasion
apprehcnsions of fresh attcak of delirium,
which soon developed itself The En-
press is now prey to the most extraor-
binary excitement, aggravated by the ex-
cessive heat and the want of sleep TO which
her Majesty is subject. As at Miramar,
she has an invincible aversion to every
description of food, although she her
self orders every morning what she would
like to have at her meals. She refuses
to sit at the table, and will not taste any
thing unless it is offered 10 her by Queen
Marie Henriette, her sister-in-law, who
takes a scat by her side and feeds her like
a child.


At bedtime il often happens that the
Queen is obliged to use her personal in
fuence TO prevail upon the Empress to
retire to reat. 1t is altogether incorrect
to state, as some journals have done. that
the Empress Charlotte seeks an oppor.
tunity of escaping from the Palace of
Leaken TO return to Miramar. On the
contrary, notwithstanding the disordered
state of her mind, she is able to feel the
value of the care which is taken of her by
the king and Queen of the Belgians, who
watch over her with the most tender solici-
tude, and she fears nothing so much as
the possibility of her departure for Mira
mar. The apprehension, indeed, of such
a contingency constantly affiicts her,
and in great degree occasions her want
of sleep. In physical health the Empress
continues to be as we'll as possible, and
her medical advisers are of opinion that
the only efficient remedy for the present
attack is by all means to spare Her Majesty
every kind of emotion. This will explain
why all persons excepting the members of
the royal family are prohibited from see
ing her, and why she is allowed to re-
ceve no correspondence of nature to
make any impression upon her mind,
which imperatively demands the most
perfect repose.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?-Despatches
over the Cuba cable state that great activ-
ity is displayed in the dockyards and for
ti6cations of Jamaica, and that the British
admiralty, in anticipation of trouble aris-
ing out of the Alabama claims, have been
calling home seamen from the colonies to
serve in iron-clads.
We find the above afoat among the
news items in the columns of our exchan-
ges. 1t can hardly be anything more than
the emanation of some sensation-monger,
who seeks amusement over his own absurd
stories. If it is, we had better be looking
to our own iron-clads, for we are told by
the Army and Navy Gazette, that the
most of them are better calculated for har-
Dor defence, than for distant and aggres-
sive warfare. England has sea-going
iron-clads superior to our own. But it
would not take long to build them, in case
Of need She could do us but little harm
at sea, beyond intercepting few of our
merchant ships which might fall into the
hands of her cruisers. 1t would be upon
the land that we should have her at dis
advantage. Canada would be certain to
be ours, and no native-born citizen need
to strike blow. All that would be me-
cessary would be to arm and marshal the
Fenians, and then HE them over the Dor.
der they would sweep through all hel
Canadian provinces in an inconceivably
short time, with resistless impetuosity
The campaign would be even briefer thar
that between Prussia and Austria; while
not all the iron-clads she could music
would be sufficient to save her West Indi
possessions from our grasp. There is no
the slightest doubt, that, in case of wa
with her, at this time, we should settle u,
all ccounts,-paying her off, both the oil


and the new
