gAu#o* — The severest snow storm experienced in 

 Seotlind this winter occurred last week, and spread over 

 i treat extent of country. After the storm subsided, an 

 intense frost set in. All the mails were stopped for many 

 houri beyond their usual time. 



Aberdeen.— Preparations were commenced on \v ednes- 

 day ltst for erecting in Castle-street the statue of the 

 Duke of Gordon. An immense block of Peterhead 

 granite, from the Stirlinghill quarries, weighing 10 tons, 

 was brought to the intended site on the above day, and 

 worknr.en are now busily employed upon it. This block 

 forms the pedestal upon which the figure will stand.

Thk Italian Opera.— The opera season commenced 

 on Saturday the loth, with every promise of success. 

 The opera chosen was Donizetti's Adelia, the same which 

 tu selected for the opening of last year's campaign, and 

 introduced as usual merely as a substitute for something 

 better after Easter. Madame Persiani made her appear- 

 ance on this occasion with a new tenor called Corelli, who 

 promises to take a good place among second-class singers. 

 The ballet of La Esmeralda was the attraction of the 

 evening, and was admirably sustained by M. Perrot, Ma- 

 demoiselle Carlotta Grisi, and a new dancer, Mademoiselle 

 Adelaide Frasi, who was very favourably received. On 

 Saturday last Herold's Zampa was performed to intro- 

 duce a new singer, S. Felice. The opera was well received, 

 but unfortunately S. Felice was suffering from indisposi- 

 tion and loss of voice, which rendered it impossible to 

 »nn any opinion of his powers.

ZWo*.— So vast is the population and magnitude of 



™e metropolis that if the population of Exeter, Plymouth, 

 Dartmouth To,,.,* »_!*' . * . * . .••',. 



there are seen radii projecting from the circumference 

 of wheels concealed beneath. On the hidden wheels 

 are placed figures from to 9, but they are only visible 

 singly and in succession, through small apertures as the 

 wheels turn round. Corresponding figures from to 9 

 are engraved on the semicircular slits, between the spaces 

 formed by the projecting radii. In operating with the 

 apparatus, a pointer is placed in the space opposite the 

 figure required, and the wheel is moved by it to the bottom 

 of the slit, when the wished-for figure presents itself in the 

 aperture. One wheel of figures tells units, another tens,and 

 a third hundreds, and so on to hundreds of thousands. In 

 commencing a sum the wheels must be turned so as to let 

 ciphers appear at all the apertures. When thus arranged, 

 if the space opposite 6 on the unit wheel be brought to the 

 bottom, that figure will be shown; if we next bring the 

 space opposite to 4, to the bottom, the aperture of the 

 unit wheel will exhibit a cipher, but the 10 wheel will 

 have turned a space, and will show the figure 1, making 

 the sum 10. All the other wheels act in the same manner, 

 for, whenever the cipher is shown on any one, the wheel 

 to the left advances a space, and thus adds 10, a 100, or 

 1000. By proceeding in this manner and by bringing 

 down one amount after another the figures finally exhibited 

 represent the sum in pounds, shillings, pence, and 

 farthings with mechanical accuracy. A curious effect is 

 produced when addition is made to a series of figures 

 representing the highest amounts of each place of nume- 

 rals. For example, if to 99,999/. 19*. 11 Jo\ one farthing 

 be added, every figure is changed in rapid succession as 

 the respective ciphers are brought to the bottom, and the 

 sum 100,000/. Qs. Orf. is presented almost instantaneously. 

 After a little practice the amounts may be noted by the 

 apparatus as rapidly as they can be written, and the result- 

 in** figures show the sum without any trouble of addition. 

 I Abe figures be taken down carefully the sum must be 

 correct, and should this calculator not prove of more 

 extensive utility, it will be valuable as a check in banking- 

 houses and merchants' offices. — Tim**. 



Another 7iew System of Medicine.— The Steele states 

 that Dr. Junod of Paris has invented a new method, 

 which he terms hemospasic, for the treatment of a num- 

 ber of diseases. This method consists in the employment 

 of a pneumatic apparatus of a peculiar construction, in 

 which the arm or leg is so placed as to attract the blood 

 to the extremities without diminishing the mass ot this 

 liquid. This apparatus, which has been for some time in 

 use both amongst the public and in the hospitals of Pans, 

 has obtained the approbation of the most eminent phy- 

 sicians in France. It gained for its author the Monty on 

 prize, together with the congratulations and the thanks of 

 the Council-General of the Hospitals of Paris. 



American Arjny.—The following is the strength of the 

 army of the United States :— 716 commissioned officers, 

 17 military storekeepers, and 7590 enlisted men, (non- 

 commissioned officers, artificers, musicians, and privates, 

 of dragoons, artillery, infantry, and riflemen.) 40 ser-

Number of English in France in 1844.-The > follow- 

 ing is an official return made by the municipal authorises 

 to the Minister of the Interior and Prefet de Police in 

 Paris of the number of English residents throughout 

 France on the 1st January, 1844 :-/ans 2o 00U ; St. 

 Cloud, Versailles, and St. Germain-en-Laye,C000 ; Rouen, 

 Havre-de-Grace, and Dieppe, 5000 ; Harneur, Uonfleur, 

 and Caen, 2300 ; Fontainebleau, Orleans, and Tours,ooUu f 

 Bordeaux, Toulouse, Po, Barreges, Montpellier, N is roes,

 St. Quintin and Lille, 1500; Amiens, Beauvais, Arras, 

 Abbeville, and Mont.euil-sur-Mer, 2800 ; Boulogne-sur- 

 Mer and vicinity, 7000 ; St. Omer, 2700; Cassel, W arm- 

 hour, and Armentieres, 300 ; Bergues and Dunkirk, 

 2000; Guines, Marquise, St. Pierre, and Calais, 480U , 

 making a total of upwards of 66,000 English residents m 

 France. Admitting that each on an average expends five 

 francs a day, the annual sum spent by the English will be 

 above 4.820,000/. sterling. This return does not include 

 the number of English who pass through France on their 

 route to Switzerland, Germany, Italy, the Mediterranean, 

 and India, which on an average exceeds 50,0OU. me

undertaken the case of an insolvent debtor there, he *;ave to the 

 debtor an interim order, purporting; to be signed by Mr. Bere, 

 one of the commissioners of that court, as a protection to the 

 insolvent and his poods against arrest and execution by any t* 

 the creditors. To this order defendant had forged the name of 

 Mr. Bere. His counsel stated that they could i.ot resist the evi- 

 dence, and a plea of Guilty vras put in. It was urged in mitiga- 

 tion of punishment that defendant had committed the act while 

 in a state of intoxication and in consequence of the generosity of 

 his disposition. Baron R-lfe said he could not understand how 

 a person could put forth as an excuse for a forgery that he was 

 drunk when he did it. Some witnesses were then called to his 

 character, and the defendant was then directed to stand down, 

 the learned Judge saying he would make inquiries, and consider 

 what sentence he should pass.— George Love th it and Matthew 

 Pearson, two poacheis, were indicted lor the wilful murder of 

 John Moffit, Lord Normanby's gamekeeper, by shooting him with 

 a gun. The particulars of this case have already appeared in this 

 Paper. After a long trial the Jury returned a verdict, Anding 

 Lowther Guilty and Pearson Not Guilty. The Judge, in passing 

 sentence of death upon the former, said that he had been con- 

 victed on the clearest testimony, of depriving a fellow- creature rf 

 life, and that he could not hold out to him the sligh t hope of a 

 relaxation of the law in his case. Pearson was then called upon 

 and admonished bv the Judge, who trusted that the unhappy end 

 to which his companion would soon come would operate as a 

 warning to him, and would be the means of inducing him to 

 abstain from following the unlawful practice which had led to 

 this investigation. 



Home Circuit, Maiostonk.— George Kelly, described as a 

 railway subcontractor, 1! illiam Brown and George Collins, 

 labourers, were indicted for burglary in the dwelling-house of 

 Mr. John Jennings, farmer, at Frittcnden, and stealing a watch, 

 17/. in money, and some articles of wearing apparel. Theoflcnce 

 was fully proved against Kelly and Collins, but Brown was 

 acquitted. The three prisoners were then arraigned I r a rob- 

 bery in a dwelling-house of a farmer named Monk, and stc uing 

 Bank-notes and gold to the amount of Uf»/. The prosecutor in 

 this case lives at Norton, near Sitting-bourne, and the robbery 

 was committed on the llth November. The evidence was con- 

 clusive, and the Jury found Kelly and Brown Guilty, and 

 Acquitted Collins. The Judge, addressing the prisoners, said 

 they had been convicted of a very serious offence, and there 

 could be no doubt that they were most deal ate characters. 

 With regard to Kelly, who had been convicted u i two indict- 

 ments, and who appeared to have been the leader of the party, 

 ♦he sentence was, that he be transported for life, and 

 the others for fifteen years. Lewes.- John Lawrence, the 

 young man whose apprehension for the murder of Mr. 

 Solomon, the chief constable pt Brighton, we noticed in 

 our last, was tried on Thursday at these assizes. Oar readcTR 

 will recollect that he struck the chief constable on the head with 

 a poker and felled him to the ground, and that Solomons died in 

 consequence or. the next day. The Jury found him guilty, and 

 Lord Denman passed sentence of death, holding out no hope of

 Guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life.
