      Western Bank Oit Scotland.—Tha Liquidato...

      Neapolitan Ihcidkhts . —The correspondent of a contemporary , writing from . Naples , says : — " I can but repeat in one letter what I had said in the preceding , but sing the old song of Nupvi tpttnenti e , nuovi torfnentati . What have I to talk about , in fact , but arrests , thefts , injustice , stupidity , pride ? Evil—evil—nothing but evil ! Everything is Divine in this country but man , as Byron said of the East .- String together some rumours respecting the marriage of the Duke of Calabria , the parsimonious preparations for that event , the probabilities of an armistice , the intrigues with Rome and Austria , the fear of wa / -, cold , Vesuvius , & c , and you have the news of Naples . The incapacity of the upper classes , the stupidity of the pieces played at the theatres ( for which , of course , the censors , hot the authors , are answerable ) , the undeaniiness common to the country ,

      the dogs , the monks , the processions which come upon you at every corner of the street , one of the lazzaroni who overturns you , a gendarme who trips you up , a sbirro who collars you on account of the colour of your cravat , or the shape of your moustache ; beggars who run after you , threaten if you do not relieve them , and jeer if you do ; Capuchins who offer you lottery tickets , promise to enrich you for a penny , or to sell you a place in Paradise , for yourself , your posterity , your grooms , and your dogs , for the small sum of sixpence , with plenary indulgence into the bargain ; fiacres which knock you down , run over you , arid then cry out , 'Halloa , there ! ' Such is Naples—such are its daily incidents , its amusements , its ordinary doings . A house of correction in England , with treadmill privileges , is an earthly paradise compared with this death in life . ''

      The Suez Raixwat . —The line from Alexandria to Suez is completed and open to the public . When all the stations and the details incidental to them are completed and improved , we question if there will be a more comfortable railway to travel on in Europe than the one just finished through the " Land of the Caliphs . " It is impossible to calculate the advantage it will produce to all connected with the East , whether it be India , China , Java , Manilla , or the Australian colonies . But we do know that its completion has removed the only unpleasant portion of the " overland route , "; and which now is , as before remarked , "it would be , " as comfortable as . travelling by sea and land can be made .

      Public Health , —The Registrar General ' s return for the last week shows a continued decrease in the rate of mortality from the high point it attained at the end of November . The deaths , which were 1531 in the preceding week , fell to 1442 . Scarlet fever , though declining , is still- very fatal . Small-pox and measles increase . The births amounted to 1776 .

      IMPAIRED DIGESTION Is tho certain result of imperfect mastication , and the source of an endless train of internal disorders .
