FRANCE . The new Ministry has heen formed and Genet a Changarnier dismissed . Ths Assembly bas shown itself extremely hostile to the new government , and a se ? ne of great confusion took place ou the day the Ministers first appeared in their seats . The Committee of the Assembly moved for b y M . de Remusat to propose the measures commanded bv circuin . stances , has chosen the Due de Broglie as President , and M . Lanjuinars , a member of the tiers parti , as secretary . _ThecompDsi'ion of ibis Committee shows that it is " anstile to Vie soveinment , but as , with the exception of MM . Bsze and iV _' eltement , who have always _tfistrog-hhed themselves bv tbeir _vehament
opposition to the government <; f the President , the Committee is in general composed of moderate men , it is certain that no measure will be recommended , which -will remit in throwing the country into a _revolutionary path . The first step of the _Corami'tee has been to demand the communication oi the _jiro _ces-terbaux of the Committee of permanence . Not only did the government call upon the house to _comply with this request , hut M . Baroche challenged their publication . The _voluminouscess of these _docuaients _, which will lake some time to print , renders it probable tbat some days will elapse before the Committee will adopt any decisive course , as their conclusions will he based uptm the study of these printed minutes . As these chiefly refer to the _questionable proceedings of the _Bonapartht clubs during
the recess , and to the system of treating the troops with champagne at the reviews with a view to getting up aa imperialist _demonstration , it seems as if a resolution was in _comtemplat . on condemning . the dismissal of Changarnier a * ihe removal of the only guarantee against tha atabit ' _ous projects cherished by the President . Anyhow it will be exceedingly difficult for the Committee to formulate any resolution which will gain a majority in the Assembly , for if aa eulogy ol General Changarnier should he introduced into their motion the Left to a man will vote against it . Ia the meantime we bear tbat the _Commitiee will call on the Ministers and General _Cbangamier to appear in its presence to give _explanations . General Changarnier has removed from the _Tuilleries to a lodging in the Rue St . Houori .
On Sunday the Mountain held a meeting and appointed a Committee to watch over present events , among whom are Messrs . Victor Hugo , Creraienx , Charras , Arago , and Girardin . The _caaimittee on privilege had decided fhe creditor cannot prosecute his _debtor before having obtained the authorisation o { the _Assembly . This having been given , the representative ioses his seat unless he discbarges bis debt within three months . Tha publication of the minutes of the Committee of Permanence , is likely to damage the President less than his adversaries . Thesepraess-verleaux in fact < -0 _ tain nothing new , and are merely au ofitcial verti n of what appeared in the newspapers during tbe iast six weeks of the recess .
The excitement respecting the dismissal of General Changarnier _having wow passed away , the feeling becomes daily more prevalent that the party of order in the National Assembly has committed a blunder in supporting M . de Remusat ' s proposition . No _portioa o ! the public has taken np the quarrel on the part of the _Assembly- On the contrary , most pwple admit that Louis Napoleon was quite right to dismiss an officer who was set up as a rival , and as a greater man than himself . M . Sanguinais has presented his report , which
instead cf reccommending any censure ou tbe president , simply proposes the following resolution to the Assembly : — ' The National Assembly , acknowledging the right of the Executive Power to dispose of military commands , blames the use it made of that ri ght , and declare . - : that the General-in-Chief of the army of Paris preserves the title to the confidence which the National Assembly testified to him in the sitting of the 3 _* _ inst ., and passes to tbe order of the day . ' The Assembly declared urgency on tbe measure .
It was announced on tnesday that the greater part of the officers of the staff of the National Guards of the Seine had sent in their resignations to General Perrot , the new commander-in-chief of the National Guards ; and that in their letters to that effect they expressed their discontent at the dismissal of General Changarnier . The delegates of the French , Hungarian , German , and Italian Democratic Committee in London , have addressed a letter lo the _RepidiUque , in which thsy say that the Society of Democratic Socialist Refugees in London on the _G'h inst ., proceeded to examine the question raised by twenty-six representatives cf the Left of the Legislative Assembly , as to abstention or _nou-abstenlion in the municipal and departmental elections which will take place be . twecn this time and 1852 . After mature deSihera .
tion , the society _unanimously declared against the conduct recommended hy the twenty-six representatives to the Democrats , who have escaped from the electoral razzia oi 31 st May ; and it moreover chargrd its committee to make , known through the press , its resolution .
SPAIN . A telegraphic despatch to ths French government says : —' The . Madrid Cabinet bas resigned . Genera ? Narvaez _nainedia ' e . ' y left Madrid , and is now at Bayonne . ' This despatch hears no date .
GERMANY . The Austrian , Pru sain , and Russian monarchs will shortly , « is affirmed , meet at Dresden . The old Diet is to be _re-esiablished , it is said , with very slight modifications , which supposes the consent of Prussia . Austria ' s plan of a Zoll Union is the same as that which was approved of by aU vhe German states , with tiie exception of Brunswick . On the footing of this plau she is ready to treat with Prussia on the _subject , * and , if Prussia refuses ta do so , she will send deputies to the Zollverein Con _.-ress which is to meet at Dresden _ ext _February
PRUSSIA . _^ The vote come to hy the Chamber has been va rionslj interpreted , but we think it was a wise one . If they had _direclly censured the Ministry , most probably the Second Chamber would have been dissolved by the King , aud they would thu 3 have been playing into the hands of the Ministry . As it is they have sufficiently shown their want of confidence by the majority of hostile speeches delivered , and bv
the very small majority . Two important projects of law , brought forward by the government , have been referred to the sections . The one is a hill for regulating the action ot tbe press ; the _other , a project for the introduction of—first , a new system of class taxation ; and , second , of a graduated income tax . The press bill , mainiy founded on the provisional law bow in vogue , is * . ery tyrannical . It requires ' caution' money from the editors of journals and periodicals , and demands other guarantees from
editors . Ii at the same lime defers the trial of persons accused of offences by r _ f _ans of the press to juries . The project , which 13 of great length , will come on for discussion ere long ; and we shall then see whether the Chambers will agree to this continued tyranny .
SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN . Ths _Stzdiholders bave published a proclamation , in which document they state that , since the Germauic Confederation has _rusolred to enforce the treaty of peace of the 2 nd of July , 1850 , and since that Conf-Hferation has promised to protect the rights cf Holstein as w > 'l as the vested ri ghrs and aucient connexion existing between that duchy and Scbleswi g , they , the _S-r _' _tholders , had thought it incumbent on themselves to decree the cessation of hostilities . Tney finally protest that tbey have placed the _rtehts of the country under the protection of the Germanic Conf ? dera " tion . They also express their thar » _ks to the srmv , the navy , and the population at large , and ihcvrelv on the maintenance of oider . Tu- _Stsdtholders will resign their office as soon as an _administrative board shall have
heen appointed h y the _Sermamc Confederation _, from a proclamation which they have addressed to the army , it appears that ths Holstein troops will continue in possession of the fortresses of _U-ndsburg aud Frederickstadt . The _cammissionerVhave returned to Hamburg . It is stated as tbe opinion of many practical and sensible men , that the _Austriars _vf-U not leave Holstein as readily as ttey have entered it . The world has much to learn yet of the Austrian plans . Hesse Cassel and Holstein are not tbe sole pain's to which their military plans are or wire directed . Ii is rumoured abroad that the _Aostr _ a government desired to dislocate a large force in Oldenburg and Biunswick , * to punish the former for its pertinacious adherence to the ZJIverein , and the latter for its refusal to permit the _passage of the _Austrians on tbeir road lo Holstein .
ITALY . The secret _pres 3 is still at work , g ad , notwithstanding a reward of 2 . 000 dolls , has been offered to any person who will disclose tlie name of the
, -Ffomgu -Tmt-Utggnre*
printer , pamphlets by Mazzini and his party , daily appear . As far as . can be ascertained it appears that their plan is well organised ; that they regularly receive letters and instructions ; and it is said that Mazzini can command men , arms , and money , but that no active measures will be taken , until some disturbances in Europe call off the attention of Austria and France . It is also stated that the Roman States are preparing for a sanguinary reaction against the _Retrogradists . On Christmas Eve and on New _Year ' s D _« y several persons were dismissed from their employment , whicb shows tbat the censors are still at work . In consequcnco of tho escape from the Castle of St . AngelO of Sig . _UffredtlZZi , who was condemned
- jo the galleys tor twenty years for political reasons the Castellano' ( superintendent of the castle , ) of the name of Si g . Fantom , has been arrested , and many of the _prisoners , accused of having given their aid to the escape of the prisoner are treated with the greatest severity . The castle of St . AngeJo is now exclusively in the hands of the French garrison . Provisions of all sorts have been carried to the castle these last few days , and the French are making strong repairs and improvements in the walls and in the interior of the fortress . Of the cannons , only two have heen left in the hands of the Roman soldiers , and the powder magazine near the Porta St . Paolo is in possession of tbe French .
It is stated that General Gemeau , commanderin-chief of tho French garrison in Rome , in making to his government the report of the last collisions between the Roman and French soldiers , made use of those words : — ' Les soldats du Pape sont les plus _insolents et indisciplines soldats du mondo , et le 3 plus roauvais _sujets da leur Souverain .

Malignant Fever And Dysenterry Are Decim...
Malignant fever and dysenterry are decimating the t'Oops in the Punjauh . In India a trifling encounter took place at the Kobat frontier bfttween the British troops , under Major Taylor , and tbe _Vfuzeer ; the latter were repulsed by the British troops , and only one wounded . Piracies are still being perpetrated near Java . In Hesse Cassel a permanent military tribunal has been established . It consists of an upper tribunal , an under tribunal , and a committee of inquiry . The first is composed of three Austrian and two Bavarian officers . The under tribunal consist !
of three Bavarian aud Two Austrian officers , and the court of inquiry is comprised of one Bavarian and one Austrian officer . The City Council being assured by Count _Leiningen _, both verbally and by writing , that the ' severest measures' were in contemplation if they should continue to hold out , and that on their submission compulsive measures would cease altogether , sent in on January 8 th their submission . The three Hessian journals which were the organs of the refractory parties are still suspended , and their presses sequestered .
The' Vie . inaZeitung' gives the postponed budget for the second quarter of 1 S 50 . The total amount is 47 , 4 G 0 , 7 fil _Ajrhu ; the total expenditure , 66 , 045 , 892 guilders , making a deficit of 18 , 585 , 130 guilders . The Bank directors bave resigned tbeir posts . Count Leiningen published on the same day a _permisiion for the re-appearance of the late forbidden journals iu _Casstl . They ate still _forbinflen throughout the rest of the electorate .
In the United States a revised tariff has heen published augmenting all articles of foreign importation one-balf per cent ., and increasing the impo-ts ou national imports by one-seventh . It likewise augments the export duty on each box of sugar 50 c , on each quarter of leaf tobacco 29 c , and on every thousand chests 25 c . In imports this change is to take place on tbe 1 st of February , and continue ' for two years , in exports from the 1 st of January . Vessels from Europe are allowed to tbe 1 st of March .
According to advices from Nicaragua to tbe I 8 th of November , the ports of Salvador were then blockaded by the British , and those of "Nicaragua threatened . It is stated tbat war had been prepared between Costa Rica aud Nicaragua . The Brazilian government are actively engaged in warlike preparations against Buenos Ay res . The Holstein Diet held a secret sitting on the 10 th inst . The debate continued all ni g ht , and the bouse adjourned at thirty minutes past four on the morning of Saturday . They resolved to instruct the _Stallholders to accede to the demands of the Commissioners , provided the Commissioners consented to the occupation of Rendsburg and Freiderickfort by Holstein troops . The numbers were fortv-tbree ayes and twentv-six noes .
The cholera has almost entirely ceased in King ston and Spanish Town , Jamaica . The state of siege bas again been _renewed in the Grand Duchy of Baden . The Munchener Zeitung' states from Dresden that almost all the delegates a ' , the Congress in that city bave now lost all hope of obtaining anything like a satisfactory result . This sweeping assertion seems , however , specially to apply to the agents of tbe lesser South German States . The First committee of the Congress has suspended its
labourssince no result was attainable . Indeed , every proposition respecting the organisation of the Chie ' Federal Board met with a decided opposition . The Second Committee , although it continues its sittings , has no hope of gaining a basis for is labours > since that basis was to be prepared by the Firs _' Committee . It is stated tbat Prince Schwarzen - berg will remain at Dresden to support the com ' niercial policy which Austria intends to urge on tbe delegates . The Committee on Commercial Affairs held its first sitting on tbe Sth inst .
On the 9 th and lOifa inst ., at Cologne , two political trials took place , the first against an article published in the ' West Deutsche Zeitung , ' and the second against an article in the ' Kolnische Zeitung . ' The editor of the ' West Deutsche Zeitung' was accused of' exciting hatred among the different classes of Society . ' The article consisted of phrases translated from the French journals , iu which the writers declaim against priests , employers , the well tc do , and the employer class generally . Its author has been condemned , but in the
minimum penalty . Tbe other inculpated article , that of the ' Cologne Gazette , ' contains , according to the public prosecutor , the two crimes*—] , An affront to tbe reverence of majesty ; and , 2 , Calumniation of the minister . The jury acquitted tbe editor of the Cologne Gazette' on both these charges . The last verdict has all the more significance , inasmuch as tbe accused and his advocate each frankly admitted the facts , and rather turned the trial into an attack on the King and his minister than made a _defence . The insurrection in Prussia is still unsettled .
Ihe * Wiener Zei : ung has made the most of the miraculous flow of blood from the wounds of the image of our Saviour which is reported to bave tafceti place in the Saturnin Chapel , near Apt , in France , and the church Trill not fail to follow its example . There are persons still living who remember that the illustrious Joseph II . was a great disbeliever ia miracles , and that he actually prohibited the growth of the beard on a figure of Jesus Christ which is near one of the doors of the Cathedral of St . Stephen . He ordered a couple of sturdy grenadiers to mount gnard on the spot , and so great was the fear which their formidable moustaches inspired that tbe wooden image did not venture to disobey the imperial mandate . It has long been a saying in
Austria that Joseph was born half a century too soon . It appears that the Catholic hierarchy is determined to make tbe outer man of the inferior priesthood what it should be , for the Consistorial Court of the Archbishop ot Salsburg bas issued orders that the tonsure is to be kept weir shaved and that the priest ' s collar is always to he worn . The waistcoats of the clergy are to _bs buttoned up to the throat ; no blouse , pantaloons , or calabrese ( slouch ) hats are to ba worn . A dandified cut of * he clothes is to be , carefully avoided , and when officiating the priest is to wear his clerical gown ( _mlar ); Iwckles are io be worn in . the shoes on high days and holydays . Some hints are also given relative to the unseemliness of frequenting _puhlichouses , stopping out late at night , and smoking . '
la Prussia the Minister of Commerce has concluded an _air-ttgenient with the _Pcunian ' Railway Companies , by which all Prussian workmen mid _iiuftts _' r ' c / s going to England to visit the Great Exhibition will be conveyed in second-class carriages at third-class fares . As the second-class carriages on tbes e lines are . fitted up with every regard to the comfort of the puWic , the _atlv _ niage to the passengers will be considerable , Tbe Austriaa army under Lvgeditsch is advancing towards Holstein with all speed ; the daily march is kn hours , and no re 3 _t-day is allowed .
It is stated that the glorious patriot , Gen . Bern , died on the lOtb , of December .. The rest of the emigrants hare left Shumla for Constantinople . It is affirmed that the exiles at Kiutahia are about to be liberated . Itis stated that he was descended { torn a Prussian family of noble rank / settled near

Marienwerder , and that the name was originally written Behm , The deceased general was born in 1790 in Galicla , where his father was in the service of Prince Sangusko . He " entered the Polish military service in 1812 , and on the outbreak of the revolutions entered tbat of Hungary . The remnant of the emigration of Shumla arrived at Constantinople on the 6 lh . The Porte treats them with liberality . They will he embarked for England at the expense of tbe Turkish government , and nourished during the passage , and each will receive three pounds Stirling . The emigrants of Kiutayeh will be speedily set at liberty , the negotiations with the cabinet of Vienna for tbeir liberation having at length been successful .
There is quite a diplomatic imbroglio between the government of the United States and that of Austria . The particulars are—that Austria has offered as an ultimatum , the alternative of this government refusing to receive Kossuth and other Hungarian refugees , or that the Emperor will no longer be represented by an accredited agent in the United States . Indeed the Chevalier HuUeraann , the Austrian Charge d'Affaires at Washington , is even now virtually , if not actually , suspended . It seems that be had sent to the Administration at Aft asbington a letter stating the above alternative , and tbat the Honourable Daniel
Webster , Secretary of State , had returned a decided reply , to the effect that the United States ever had been , and ever would be , regarded as an asylum for political refugees , especially those of a Republican character ; that if Kossuth and his companions came they would he received and welcomed , * and that if , under such circumstances , which were strictly consonant with the spirit of the constitution , ol the UnUed States , the diplomatic agent should demand his passports , they would be immediately given to him . These , it is said , are the principal points of Mr , Webster ' s reply , rendered in language 8 like respectful and firm . No consideration will induce the American
government to refuse a reception to the Hungarian exiles . It would be quite absurd to suppose otherwise ; and the least submission to Austrian dictation in such a matter would cover ; any United States administration with an unpopularity that it could never survive . The ' Ledger' newspaper and prhiti'ig . cffice , the largest in . the United States , was destroyed by fire . Loss from 80 , 000 dols . to 100 , 000 dols . The uuhappy divorce case between Edwin Forrest , tbe tragedian , and his wife ( late Miss Sinclair ) is once more before the court in New York , Tbe affidavit of Mrs . Forrest has been completed , denying in toto the charges of Mr . _ForreBt , and showing that events and words had been artfully
perverted and distorted ; while there are also affidavits from N . P . Willis , the author ; his brother . Richard Willis ; Graoby Caleraft , of England Messrs . W . A . Howard , G . W . Jamieson _, Samuel M . Raymond , and others—all swearing positively that they believe Mrs . Forrest to be virtuous , and neither of them has ever heen guilty of unchaste conduct towards her , or witnessed in ber any of the improprieties charged upon her by her husband . These affidavits find ready belief with the public , especially as Mr . Raymond ' s affidavit , as well as tbat of Mrs . Forrest , show the violence o / Mr . Forrest ' s temper , and the coarse and proprofane language he ' was sometimes in the hahil . oi using . Popular sympathy is evidently with tbe
lady . The trial of "Nareiso Lopes , and others connected with the foray in Cuba which took place last spring , has commenced at New Orleans . Among others who did not attend the summons is General Quitman , now Governor of Mississippi . It is , however said that he will be brought before the Court , which is favourably constituted for the fearless administration of justice . As the Austrian troops passed through Gottingen ,
on their march to Holstein , the students assembled at the gate , and sang the national song * Schleswig-Holstein , ocean-girded , ' as they went by . General _Legeditsch warned the commandant of the town against permitting such demonstrations fur the future . No part of the Hanoverian army accompanies the expedition ; but a strong force is being organised to act on the frontier as a police when the Holstein army is disbanded . It is expected that that measure will let loose a crowd of adventurers throughout the north of Germany .
The following case which has just occurred at Magdeburg , is worth relating as an example of the operation of some of the old laws and powers of the State which the constitution has left undiminished : —Aman , at Seehausen _. in the Altmark _, took his child to be baptised in the church , demanding that he should receive the names of ' Jacobi Waldeck . ' The clergyman refused to allow the infant to bear names which have a parly sound , though one is that of an eminent physician , the other that of a great jurist and judge of a Superior Tribunal of Berlin _,-their names therefore hardly imply any mockery of religion or deliberate insult to Christian and social feelings which might justify a clergyman in refusing
to baptise by them . The father declined to have the child christened by any names but those selected by himself . The clergyman took proceedings against him , and the Court of Law , exercising its power , appointed a curator or guardian to act for the child . But tbe curator appears to have been a friend of the family , for he demanded of the consistory that the baptism should be completed in the names chosen . This waa again refused , and the enratoy required to have the child christened in usual' names . The parents would hot comply , and as it was notified that a ' compulsory baptism ( or _Ztoangstaufe ) would he perforrsed , the mother left the place with the infant , and for some time eluded
tbe inquiries of the police . At last she was discovered in the little town of Arendsee , arrested , and brought under an escort of gendarmes to Seehausen —the infant , as the corpus delicti , snugly packed in a handbasket or _trag-korb , and carried by two men , in safe custody , but happily unconscious of his earl y collision with the authorities . Arrived in _Seehaust-n , the mother was taken to the prison , and the infant lo the church . The burgomaster and the gensdarraes were in attendance as witnesses , and with locked doors the rite , was _petfovva-id , tho child being taken back to the parents , named as their' superiors ' pleased . But even this was not the end of Ihe
affair . The mother , for refusing to give up the child and absconding with it , was charged with ' re * sistance by act to , an officer of the authorities ol Obrigteit in the discharge of its orders , ' and was condemned to two months' imprisonment . Against this sentence she appealed , but the Court of Magdeburg has within the last few days confirmed the decision , and the mother is now in confinement . The whole case is an illustration of the pedantic despotism cf the German system of government , interfering in the most petty details of life , _irritating and alienating the people for no purpose , and setting a formidable legal machinery in motion against matters that have no affinity to crime .
A letter of the 25 th _December , from Constantinople , says ;—* Said Pacha , the Sultan ' s brotherin-law , a Derweesh of the old Turkish school , who had been sent to Damascus as Governor , by Resheed Pacha , has had the misfortune . to bastinado to death an unfortunate Jew under Prussian protection , Dr . Romano . The Prussian mission , is , however , far from treating the matter with levity , and Said Pacha is deposed and ordered to Koniah , to _dauce _ with the Dsrwfshes there if he please . The Paeha _' s Intendaht ' and the chief of his Mou ! _iquet ' aires ; have cohVe'iip " to . Constantinople , and will probably find their way to the pillory .
The Porte have sent :. Vedgipee Pacha to quell the Arabs of Mesopotamia , who will not allow Dr . Layard to put his nose out of Bagdad . It is worthy of remark , that the field _6 f battle immortalised by the laconic _, despatch of Julius Caesar , _Veni _, vidi , vici , ' translated , even idiomatically , hy the Turks ' , ' by _'Geldiuj'Gurdim Sickdim , in bis victory oyer Pharnaces , lies iu this country ! between Z . iichand Amasi 8 .... tchapBn Q _s lou was the fust who . raUed Y \ _-ital into _contidetation , and there exists still a derebpg about fifteen miles thence .
Last month , m Austria , while divine strvice was goingcn in the church ' at Topsoriy , ' in _' the : _Sumej-. h ComiVaf , a man called , out to the organist to cease _playi'i _^ _as be was about to kill the parish pries ; and the schoolmaster . This was no empty threat , for , taking a gun from under his cloak , be fired at the schoolmaster , but ; fortanaiely missing him , tbe bullet took away the top of his chair . The priest , burning from the altar , called oa his congregation to arrest ihe miscreant , but tbey declining to do
so , hecausa he had not offended then )/ left the church . As the assassin , who ' had _re-loaded his guri , still remained , the priest and the schoolmaster , taking . heart , made 3 rush at liim _. and at last , with the assistance of a gentleman ' s haiduck ( a servant ) , succeeded iu disarming him . He is now in the county prison at _Kaposvar . The bands of robbers are either less numerous or less bold , their depredations being now principally confined to the environs of the Bakony forest , and to the neighbour * hood of Szegedin .

The terrible severity of the Prague sentences has produced a very unfavourable impression , as people , eanuot lose si g ht ol the fact that hundred * , of thousands who , strictly speaking , are not a ' whit less guilty than the Bohemian students enjoy their liberty , and that some of them now fill lucrative and important posts in the State . ,. ' , In Paris AUias has desisted from an appeal which he had commenced against his sentence of imprisonment . In tlie letter whicli announces tins resolution , he declares himself the instrument and victim of an intrigue conducted by M . Yon .

among seized as contraband goods by the Custom House officials , and they will probably be put to the stake , " as Mr . P . will decline paying duties and a fine for the permission proffered to permit nun to return them to the United States . Mr . Parsons has intended no fraud upon the revenue on the religious pveiud . ces of the people , but went to Cuba under the auspices of the " Seamen ' s Friend Society , in the cause of an enlig htened benevolence , with the main implement of his profession in various languages , to meet the comprehension of his audience —believing the basis important to aid in the faithful performance of his obligations to those who arc humble employers , under the flag of union . He has , however , been forbid the distribution of Bibles in the English language , on board of American or other vessels in the harbour , and cautioned from high authority that the command must be respected .
Cheapness Of The Gbeat Glass House.—If F...
Cheapness of The Gbeat Glass House . —If for nothing else , this tremendous pile Of transparency is aatouudbg for its cheapness _. It is actually less costiy than an agricultural barn , or an Irish cabin . A division of its superficies in cubic feet by the sums to be paid for it brings out the astonishing quotient of little more than one halfpenny ( ninesixteenths of a penny ) per cubic foot—supposing it to be taken down and returned to the contractors when the Exhibition is over : or , if it remains a fixture , the rate of cost will be rather less than a penny aud one-twelfth of a penny per cubic foot . The ordinary expense of a barn is moro than twice as much * or twopence-halfpenny per foot . Here are the figures : The entire edifice contains thirty-three millions of cubic feet . If borrowed . _, and taken down , the sum to be paid is £ 7 ( 1 , 800 ; if bought , to become a winter garden , £ 150 , 000 . — - Dickens ' s Household Words .

Matthew Harvey , of Chapel Hall , Airdrie , Scotland , dated the 15 th of January , 1890 . Sin , —Your valuable pills have been the means , with God ' s blessing , of restoring me to a state of perfect health , and at a time when I thought I was on the brink of the grave . I had consulted several eminent doctors , who , after doing what they could for ine , stated thatthey considered my case as hopeless . I ought to say that Iliad been suffering from a liver and stomach complaint of long standing , which during the last two years got so much worse , that every one considered my condition as hopeless . I , as a last resource , got a box of ) our pills , which soon gave relief , and by persevering in their use for some weeks , together with rubbing night and morning your Ointment over my chest and stomach , and right side , I have by their means alone got completely cured , and to the astonishment of myself and everybody who knows me . —( Signed ) Matthew _IUnvey To Professor Holloway .
