The land forces with Admiral Porter's expedition, under General A. J. Smith, are reported to have captured Fort de Russey, seventy miles up Red River, with eleven cannon and 300 prisoners. New Orleans letters of the 19th corroborate the capture of Fort de Russey, Louisiana, and add that Alexandria surrendered to Admiral Porter on the following day. Brownsville, Texas, accounts report that a French fleet is off the mouth of Rio Grande, and that an attack upon Matamoras is imminent.

THE CANADIAN ADMINISTRATION.-On the 21st ult. Mr Sandfield Macdonald announced to the Canadian Parliament that the Ministry that morning had resigned. Their majority, he said, had proved to be not such as would enable them to carry on the business of the country with satisfaction to themselves or benefit to the country. That they still possessed a majority in the House was evidenced by the fact that the Opposition had declined any trial of strength this Session upon the Address, or since; but still Ministers had felt that, unless their majority was increased, they could not satisfactorily proceed with the public business. They felt that there were important questions to be dealt with, requiring an Administration carried on with a vigour inspired by a greater numerical strength of support in the House. Parliament, of course, adjourned to give time for the formation of a new Administration. The Governor sent for Mr Cartier, who is leader of the "Bleu" party in Lower Canada, and possesses a strong following in Parliament. Shortly afterwards Colonel Sir E. P. Taché was sent for. It was thought that a coalition of some kind might be formed.

THE MILLWALL IRON WORKS, SHIPBUILDING, AND GRAVING DOCKS COMPANY (Limited) is announced. The Millwall Iron Works have already acquired a world-wide reputation, but so great are the revolution and extension which are now taking place in the business of shipbuilding, that the present capacity of the works, extensive as they are, is overtasked, and additional room is required. The position of the establishment is unsurpassed in the Thames, and numerous extensive contracts with the British, Italian, and Ottoman Governments, as well as with large steam companies, are in band. All of Oats, English these, and all the assets of the establishment, are transferred to the present undertaking, which is introduced by the Mercantile Credit Association and the Credit Mobilier (Limited). The capital is 2,000,000, in 40,000 shares of 50l. each, of which one-half have been already subscribed. The direction is very influential.

properties exercise a highly beneficial and salutary in-

them to assume the brightness and colour indicative of per-
fect soundness. The breath also attains a healthy purity
and sweetness.-Price 2s. 9d. per box. Caution.-The

ENFEEBLED EXISTENCE.-This medicine en-
braces every attribute required in a general and domestic
remedy: it overturns the foundations of disease laid by in-
digestive food and impure air. In obstructions or congestions
of the liver, lungs, bowels, or any other organ these Pills are
especially serviceable and eminently successful. They should
be kept in readiness in every family as they are a medicine
without a fault for young persons and those of feeble consti-
tutions. They never cause pain or irritate the most sensitive
nerves or most tender bowels. Holloway's Pills are the best
known purifiers of the blood and the best promoters of ab-
sorption and secretion which remove all poisonous and ob-
noxious particles from both solids and fluids.
