BATHS OF HOMBURG, near Frankfort-on the-Maine.—Summer Season ltlan —The Mineral Waters of Homburg, as evidenced by the analysis of the celebrated Pro fewer Liebig, are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and aperieut. They are o; admirable service in removing disorders of the stomach and other Intestines. They stimulate these organs when the ab dominal circulation is defective, assist the process of secretion, and give a healthful regularity to the organism of nntiition and aashuilstion. They are powerful remedial agents iu cases of enlargement of the liver, in affection of the spleen. In hypochondria. jaundice, hemorrhoidal disease, and chidloate constipation. In cases of gout, and all other affee- Mons produced by inefficiency of the digestive functions, the most happy results have been obtained from them. The efficacy et the waters is more especially recognised by those who drink them at their source ; for then, the Invigorating air of the mountains, the gaiety of the surrounding scene, and perfect atetraction from the cares of the world, concur lac whiting the action of the medicinal beverage. 'the magnificent Kurhouse, which, in the beauty of its nreltitecture, the judicious distribu tion of its apartments, and the richness of Its decorations, Bur passes every other edifice of the kind on the banks of . the =tine, contains a variety of spacious and splen didly decorated rooms; a grand saloon for halls and concerts ; a ouperb dining room where there is a table-d'hote 1 In Fran twice a day, at 1 and at 5 o'clock, furnished by the cele brated Chevet of Paris. who is the lessee of the refreshments of the whole CaSillo.

To-day the troops at headquarters are allowed to rest. The battalions engaged in active opera tions have been pushed forward about two miles to the south-east. They are also having a day's repose, as far as possible, this having been rendered necessary by the rain which has set in, and the uninterrupted marching and severe fighting in which the troops have been engaged. The first army is taking the direction of Brunn, the second Olmutz, and the army of the Elbe Ig lau. The Austrians evacuated Landskron as soon as the regiment of the guards of the second army corps, advancing from Hohenmouth through Bo hemian Trubau, approached the town. The Aus trian army of the north is receiving reinforcements, but it is believed to be not yet decided whether it will hold the line from Olmutz to Brunn, and fight another battle in that position. The Prussian march on Iglau is said to be the cause of this inde cision. To-morrow the head-quarters will be re moved toCzernahora, three miles from Brunn. BERLIN, JULY 12. Yesterday the vanguard of the corps under Ge_ neral Manteuffel had an engagement with the Ba varians, and succeeded in forcing its way across the fords of the Saale, near Hansen and Waldas chach, north of Kisaingen. The Prussian loss is officially stated to have been small, while that of the Bavarians was heavy. The Mecklenburg and Oldenburg mobilised contingents have marched to the seat of war. The official Staatsanzeiger of to-day says : The lialf'iundanee Beige, in citing a leading article of the Journal de St. l'etersbourg, menacing Prussia, described the latter journal as the organ of Prince Gortschakoff. We are authorised to state that Prince Gortschakoff has repudiated, in the presence of the Prussian ambassador, any connection with the Journal de St. Petersbourg, expressly declaring that that newspaper possesses no semi-official cha racter. General MiUbe, with 6,000 men, is marching upon Prague, in order to occupy that city. The Burgomaster of Prague has issued a proclamation urging the inhabitants to be calm, and to meet the Prussians in a friendly spirit. The Governor of Prague has left for Pilsen. General Schack has been appointed to General Midbe's former post of Govenor General of the Saxon provinces oc cupied by Prussia. Herr Selchow, councillor of the district of Ratibor, has been named civil com missioner of Austrian Silesia. THE HUNGARIAN LEGION. FLORENCE, JUT 12. The Hungarian Legion is expected at Bologna immediately. On its arrival there it will proceed without delay to the seat of war. About 30 Hun garians who were taken prisoners in the recent en gagements have declared their willingness to enter the legion. Kossuth has gone to see Garibaldi to concert with him upon a plan of operations. Baron Ricasoli has returned to Florence. THE PORTE AND THE BELLIGERENTS.—A "diffi culty" has already arisen between the Porte and the Italian and Prussian governments which may, or may not, lead to more or less troublesome results. The latter com plain that the Turkish authorities have committed a breach of neutrality in granting the Austrians free passage over the nanow tongues of land at Bleck and Soutorino, on the Adriatic, to the portion of Dalmatia which lies inland behind these points. As the civility thus complained of can have no possible effect on the course of the war either north or south, this protest of the allies looks suspiciously like a wish to pick a quarrel with the Sultan's government— with what immediate object it is not difficult to divine. The Porte, however, with proper dignity resists the categorical demands of the two legations, and whilst proclaiming its firm resolution to keep altogether aloof from the present struggle, maintains that the mere courtesy complained o f amounts to no breach of neutrality whatever. It remain s to be seen how this answer will be received at Florence.— Levant Herrtld , July 4. LIFEBOATS ON THE IRISH COAST.—The National Lifeboat Institution sent yesterday (Thursday) a new life boat, 32 feet long, to Ballycotton, on the coast of Cork, in lieu of the present boat on that station which had become unfit for service. The cost of the boat was presented to the society by a benevolent lady residing in Lancaster. A. free conveyance bad been readily granted to the boat to Cork by the Cork Steam Ship Company. The old lifeboat at Ballycotton had on several occasions been of great service iu saving life, and was instrumental in rescuing • few months since, under very difficult eirctuastanoes, eleven persons from the ship Alarm, of Belfast. We may add that all the lifeboats, numbering 27, on the Irish FRANCE AND ITALY. coast belong to the National Lifeboat Institution. PARIS, JULY 12. • ADMIRALTY, JLLY 12.—APPOINTMENTS.

C. pe Go r o n d, m to e the . lrre an listhlt . ; li. o J ee . fe t , t, t, to the tively abandoned, the attack of the Italians upon P. Assistant Ziern F. Este, to the Medusa. This is ipalpa bly an attempt to represent that . the cams Belli propounded in the Emperor's letter of June 11 will arise, unless Prussia abandons ground which she has already diplomatically taken. The Liberti, however, while referring to a great deal of proved false news given by the France, says thatthe special mission of that journal is to make it appear that French policy tends to an alliance with Austria against Prussia and Italy. M. de Beust, the Saxon Minister of Foreign Affairs, who has just arrived in Paris, had an audience of the Emperor to-day. The object of his journey is understood to be to submit to the Emperor some arguments on the state of affairs in Germany in a European point of view. The im portant part played by this diplomatist in the stairs of Europe for many years renders his pre sence here at this time interesting. He has always been greatly opposed to any such change in the constitution of Germany as would make a single government preponderant. M. de Benist was received by the Empress to-day. All the money articles of the evening papers say that there was no known cause for the rise at the Bourse to-day. I rather think, however, it is to be attributed to the rumour—which I do not believe to be true in the sense understood here— of Russia and England having offered to join France in her mediation ; that Prussia had with drawn many of her pretensions ; and that M. Benedetti is commissioned to present a plan which it is hoped will be accepted at Berlin, Florence, and Vienna ; and, moreover, that Baron Ricasoli, the great enemy of French influence in Italy, was likely to resign. Ido not myself believe in any of this news. Bente rose lfr. 15c. for cash, and lfr. 50c. for account, closing at 68fr. 50c. and 68fr. 75c. Italian rose 2fr. 50c. ; and Credit Mo bilier 57fr. 50c.

THE WOUNDED HANOVERIAN SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS, SIR,-1 trust that, as an act of humanity, you will kindly grant the necessary space for the following appeal in your esteemed r aper.—l am, &c., A. WMINER, Consul-General for Hanover. The undersigned appeals to his countrymen residing in England as well as to the sympathy of the English public for some donation for the wounded and disabled Hano verian soldiers, and especially for the widows and children of the killed. The people in Hanover being already very heavily taxed in consequence of the Prussian occupation, some relief from abroad for the above-stated purpose will be most gratefully accepted. The donations will be re ceived at the Hanoverian Consulate, 6, Lime-street, C'ty, and forwarded to the Central Committee at Hanover. The receipt of the money shall be acknowledged through the English and Hanoverian press. The admithatretion of the government of Hanover being at present under the control of Prusaia gives additional cause for this appeal to private benevolence. A. WERNER, Consul-General. Hanoverian Consulate, 6, Lime-street, London, E.C., FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 12. The Patrie of this evening announces that the French squadron will leave Toulon to-morrow for the Adriatic. The same journal states that the Prussian proposals relative to the conclusion of an armistice are not yet definitively drawn up, but that sufficient is known of their general tenor to show that they are more moderate than certain journals have asserted, and that there is a good chance of their being accepted. The Payd declares the intelligence published yesterday by the Franc. relative to the conditions drawn up by Prussia as a basis for peace to be a pure invention. The France also states that the Italians are marching upon Padua, and that an engagement is probable. The Etendard of this evening announces that the Emperor will not go to Nancy, being detained in Paris by political affairs. The same paper states that the account published by the Prease of the • views of France on the German question is utterly unfounded. Baron von Beust had a long interview 1 with the Emperor Napoleon yesterday. THE WAR IN ITALY. (mom ova SPECIAL COERISPONDENT WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY.) REOGIOLO, JLLT 9. Torre Malamberti, though still the general head quarters, has ceased to be the centre of action, so I have proceeded with all possible haste towards what has, by the latest movements, become the fittest place for cbservation. Reggiolo is a small borough about thirty miles from Torre Malamberti, and eighteen in a straight line south of Mantua. About six miles to the left of Reggiolo is Guastalla, where the Po turns sud denly to the north, describing a great curve or half circle, which ends only at Occhiobello, where the river again runs due east to its mouth. As you know by this time, Cialdini has crossed the Po, with the whole of his army, namely 100,000 men, and 160 guns. The passage was effected in different places somewhere between Stellata and Punts Lagascuro, without any resistance whatever from the enemy, who, on the other hand, being per haps aware of this movement, has in all haste sent about 40,000 men to Rovigo. As to the affair of Borfoforte, it seems to have been only a feint. Carini's and other brigades composing General Nunziante's division, were posted around Saletto, Motteggiana, Bocca di Ganda and Rocchetta forming the tote de pont, and were supported in their immediate front by eighteen field and twenty-four 40-pounders, besides others which were put in position subse quently. The fire, though interrupted at times in obedience to orders, was effective, especially on the Italian left, which was more protected than the right, and the Rocchetta fort was dismantled and the Bocce di Ganda silenced. In the Rocchetta work a powder magazine exploded, either accidentally or through the enemy's fire. While driving here this morning very early I passed the first army corps, and met the staff of ; General Pianell, who has superseded Durando, and who was fixing his headquarters at San Giovanni lin Croce. It is said that Cialdini has requested the other corps commanders not to alarm the enemy by too many movements. As you see, then, everything indicates action on the part of the ILI ' lians, who in this way answer Napoleon's proposal. This course seems to have given great satisfaction I to the country, and now that war is again decided upon, the only demand is for more capability on the part of the generals. All the officers one meets marching by the side of battalions and regiments appear to breathe snore freely, and as to the sol diers, they sing and laugh as if they were at a village dance. _ _ Both at the bivouac fire and in the towns all are pleased with the belief that the prestige of the nation has been maintained and her position asserted. If Italy has a right to declare and wage war, she must surely have that of making and concluding peace. Venetia ceded to France, with an acknowledgment of such cession by Italy, meant a denial of her right to act alone in questions affecting the nation's interests. The very existence, both ma terial and moral, of Italy is doubted when such a thing is denied. If Venetia is to be ceded to France, and she is to cede it in turn to Italy, she might on some future occasion think of claiming it again, or of denying Italy's right to it. Venetia belongs to the Italian fatherland. Austria must re cognise this fact—must recognise that Italy and that a King of Italy exist. It is high time that Austrian diplomacy should leave off ignoring them both, and leave it off now and for ever. It is to be supposed that Cialdini haring once oc cupied strong positions in Venetia, the other corps will strive to keep near at hand, su as to avoid the mistake of the 24th. July 12. THE NEW CHIEF BARON.—Sir Fitzroy Kelly, the new Chief Baron, will join the Norfolk circuit on Tuesday next, in the place of Chief Baron Pollock, and continue the circuit with Chief Justice Erle. DESPATCH OF BOMBAY MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 12.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company s steamer Ceylon, Captain Evans, sailed to-day with the mails for Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, Egypt, Aden, Bombay, &c. She took out 25 passengers, and on freight a general cargo, including, for B ombay, bar gold, 4601. ; for Alexandria, gold coin, 2,0001. ; and for Gibraltar, sove reign, 1,0001., and gold coin, 4,0001. THE Stu Cow.—Among the passengers per the Atrato, which arrived at Southampton last night from the West Indies, is Mr. C. Bartlett, who was sent out to Dutch Guiana by the Royal Zoological Society of London, to bring borne a manatee (sea-cow), a living specimen of which has never yet reached Europe. The manatee, which was exceedingly tame, was in good health until the 9th i althoughwhe unfortunatelyn a care and severe attentio eaater n waslbey wind set and animal, it died on the morning of the 10th from the ernes sive cold of the water the previous night. The principal incident of yesterday was the pre sentation of the prize given by the lit Surrey Volunteers, to be shot for by Belgians, in their own country, at their Tir National, at russets, In September next. Shortly before six the whole of the Belgian Volunteers and the let Surrey, were drawn up in lines in front of their camp, and at 6 o'clock M. Van der Weyer, the Belgian Ambassador, drove up in Ids iage , the band of the let Surrey playing the Belgian air, and the whole of the corps presenting arms. His excellency, in consequence of his great lameness, was unable to leave his carriage, but he stood up in it, and was received with loud cheers. At 8 o'clock last night the great complimentary banquet to the Belgian visitors took place in Jennison's large saloon, and the apartment was crowded at an early hour, and many hundreds were unable to obtain admission. Lord ELCHO occupied the chair, and wee supported by Comman dant de l'Eau d'Andremont, Earl Spencer, M. Sleds (capi• Leine), M. Bourlait, M. Marson, M. Denise, and a great number of other membens of the Belgian deputation, be. sides many of the residents in the neighbourhood. REFORM MEETING AT NORTHAMPTON. The liberals held an out-of-door reform meeting in the Market square on Wednesday evening. The chair was occupied Mr. J. W. Gurney. The estimated number was about 3,000. The following resolution was moved by Mr. Hol loway, and seconded by Mr. Dunkley :—" We, the people of Northampton, tender our grateful thanks to the late ministry (and their coadjutors), for their sincere and noble advocacy of the peoples cause, and regret their retire ment from office, and hope for their speedy re turn, as we have no confidence in the present cabinet, they being the determined enemies of all reform." The resolution was carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Stephen Clarke, seconded by Mr. lieneford—" That the present franchise inadequately re presents the principles of the constitution, and that the factious and class opposition offered by the tories and sham liberals to the late moderate refonu bill, together with the injurious and insulting language used towards the working classes, have determined them to obtain household and manhood suffrage." Mr. Percer supported the proposition, and after a few appropriate words from Mr. John Bates it was carried amidst loud cheering. It was next moved by Mr. Coleman, and seconded by Mr. Corby—" That in the opinion of this meeting, it is the duty of the working classes of this country, and the mem bers of trades and provident societies in particular,to unite with the real friends of reform, for the speedy attainment of the foregoing resolutions." This was also carried, and the meeting was adjourned fora week. BIRMINGHAM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—THE. BANE CHARTER Ac r.—At the last meeting of the council of this chamber it was resolved to forward a circular to each member, inviting him to act on a committee to be appointed to consider the Bank Charter Act. The first meeting was accordingly held on Wednesday afternoon in the offices of the chamber, when there were present Mr. J. S. Wright (vice-president), in the chair, and Messrs. Charles Sturge, E. Sturge, J. B. Browett, H. Christian, E. Peyton, J. Bragg, P. Thomson, J. C. Lord, J. W. Browne, J. S. Manton, Edwin Lauder, T. F. Griffiths, Dr. lioddington, and J. R. Boyce. The chairman stated the object of the meeting, and said that ho would be glad of the members of the committee re sent expressing their views on the question before them, It was intended that the result of the committee's delibera tions should be brought before the council, who would, if considered expedient, call a special meeting of the chamber. It was thought that the wisest course to pursue would be, to recommend the appointment of another royal commission similar to the one in 1855, and by these means cause public attention to be directed to the importance of the subject. After considerable discussion it wan resolved that the committee should adjourn until Wednesday next, and continue its sittings weekly to collect evidence and prepare a report. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The annual election of officers of this institution took place yesterday, when Mr. Richard Partridge, F.R.S., Professor of Anatomy to King's College and Surgeon to King's College Hospital, was elected president, in the vacancy occasioned by the re tirement in the prescribed order of Mr. Wormald, senior sur geon to St.llartholomew's Hospital; and Mr. John Hilton, F.R.S., and surgeon to Guy's Hospital, and Mr. Richard Qualm, F.R.S., surgeon to University College Hospital, were elected vice-presidents of the college for the ensuing year. At the same meeting of the council, Dr. Robert Barnes, M.R.C.S., Examiner in Midwifery to the Royal College of Physicians, and Dr. W. 0. Priestley, M.R.C.S., Professor of. Midwifery to King's College, were elected members for the Midwifery Board, vice Drs. Lee and Oldham. Mr. Charles Hawkins, the Government Inspector of Anatomy, and recently elected councillor, took the oath and his seat. Before separating, the unanimous thanks of the council were awarded to Mr. Wormald for the admirable manner in which that gentleman bad carried out all the duties of president during the past year. HusiSTE99 AT THE JCIK;ES' CHAMBERS.—Yester day Mr. Baron Bramwell was engaged in hearing cases at the Judges' Chambers. There were as many am thirty summonses on the counsel's file. According to a new re gulation, acknowledgments of deeds are only taken by special appointments at half-past 9 o'clock on Tuesday and Friday. The adjourned summonses are taken at 10 o'clock. RAILWAY PROGRESS IN TURKEY. —The comple tion, at last, of the Smyrna and Aidin Railway is en event of too much note in the industrial history of Turkey to be passed over with the mere record of the fact. Apart from the interest attaching to it as the first enterprise of the kind in the empire, its special fortunes have been che quered and protracted enough to challenge a somewhat fuller review, now that the directors have weathered their difficulties, and, after nearly nine years of stormy navi gation, have at length safely reached their desired haven at Aidin. The works on the latter half of the line now opened are of even greater solidity than those on the first section between Smyrna and Ayasalook. They have at all points been executed without regard to cost, and will in this regard bear favourable comparison with the best portions of either the Cassaba,Kustendjie, or Varna lines. The passage of the Gume-dah is of itself a work, or rather a series of works, which reflects the highest credit on English engineering skill and constructive re source. Of the stations on the new section of the line, Azizieh, a village founded by Mr. Clarke in honour of the Sultan—will give convenient access for passengers and goods traffic to the important towns of Solent, Boorgas, and their surrounding villages : Balachick, the first sta tion in the Aidin plain, will collect a large amount of produce along the eastern base of the mountain, whilst Dirminjik and Karmbounar will garner in still more up to the very confines of Aidin itself, with its thriving and industrious population of 60,000 Mussulmans and Greeks. Though the line has thus reached the end of its first terminal stage, its extension on towards Ouchack will, of course, be an early commercial necessity, in the interest both of the scheme itself and of the import ant districts beyond Aidin, which, whilst they offer few or no constructive difficulties, collectively form one of the largest, richest, and most populous plains of Asia Minor. In this part of the interior, indeed much more than in that traversed between Aidin and Smyrna, lies the real traffic wealth of the enterprise which which must be reached and utilised b e fore the line can bear its full fruits either of profit to its shareholders, or of industrial benefit to the country. The liberality of the government hitherto encourages the hope that no ungene rous difficulties will be thrown in the way of such a deve lopment of the scheme as will conduce to these rerulta- - teetered as it has been in even its most discouraging phases by the Sultan himself, and by all the leading linem hers of the government for the past eight or nine years. There is thus hope that the commencement of a new deoute may witness the completion of en important link in the grand Indo-European scheme of Sir Macdonald Ste pher.son, the eminent chairman of this company, with the particulars of which our reader, are already familiar.— Levant Herald, July 4. A correspondent writes :—" Nothing shows the kindly and improving spirit of the present day more than the number and success of loan exhibitions. No sooner was it known that en exhibition was getting up is Southampton than the nobility and gentry of the neighbouring counties offered to lend whatever was necessary, and the exhibition will contain a splendid gallery of pictures of the meet celebrated painters, beautiful specimens of ceramic art, such as Palmy, Majolica, Sevres, Chinese, and Japanese ware, and of the graver's art by such masters as Benvenuto Cellini. The specimens of oriental art will be rare and numerous. Her Majesty's contributions will chiefly be from Hindosfan. Colonel Gordon, who oomivanded armies in the Celestial empire, will contribute specimens of Chinese art. Even relics of historic interest have been freely lent. Amongst them is a gold cross worn by Marie Antoinette, and a coffee service used by that Queen during her doleful im prisonment in the Temple ; also a book of the offices of the catholic church, beautifully written and embellished by a Winchester monk 1,000 years ago. Amongst speci mens of modern workmanship there will be some of beetle jewellery. Beetles, glittering like precious atones, seems to have alighted on ladies' combs, and silver hair wreaths, on breast pins, bracelets, and brooches. Some of these insects are spotted and striped like hyeuas and other beasts of prey." THg ABYSSINIAN Cirrivre.—The following letter from the Rev. H. A. Stern has just been received by his wife :—" Royal Camp, Zegieb, Lake Diane, April 19. My dear Charlotte,—Your petition, together with that of the relatives of my eouipantons, duly reached his Majesty, and at his own request was road to us on the 17th inst. His Majesty was graciously pleased to give it the kindest consideration, and assured us that the day was not far dis tant when we would again behold those we loved. We have received a full pardon for all our past offenses on account of the King's love to the Queen of England, and his high regard and esteem for Mr. Rassam. We are exceedingly grateful for this favour ; and in the hallowed anticipation of meeting once more those whose life and happiness are bound up with my own, I am ever your affectionate husband, HKNRY A. STERN." The style of this letter is so different from anything Mr. Stern has hitherto written that his family conclude it must have been penned under restraint. Mr. Rase= (as well as the captives) is de tained a prisoner until Mr. Fled, who has just arrived with despatches to the British government, carries back to the Emperor a favourable reply. THE NAVAL RESERVE.—Her Majesty's ship Cale donia received a telegram at 6 p.m. on the evening of the 10th to proceed to sea immediately, sad look for and de tain a schooner-rigged steamer supposed to have on board 200 to 300 sailors for the Chilian navy, some of whom were men belonging to the Naval Reserve. The Caledonia left Portland at 8.30 that evening, and proceeded to mid chanuel. At 1 a.m. a steamer was reported cu •at down, and as she neared she altered course and steamed away as fast as she could; but after a chase of two hours was overtaken, she evidently having tried her beet to get away in spite of sir or seven signal guns, besides rockets and blue lights. On sending a lieutenant with a cutter manned and armed it was found that she was the steamer Greatham Hall, having about 230 people on board, four or six of whom belong to the Naval Reserve. She was taken back to Portland at 7, where she is anchored, with a guard on board, awaiting orders from the Admiralty. The Lireatham Hall was bound fur the Chilian coast. COLLISION ON THE BELFAST AND COUNTY DOWN IIAILWAY.-13ELEAHT, THURSDAY MORNING.—Lod night, shortly after 10 o'clock, a collision took Owe on the above railway,between atrain from Belfastand another travelling in the opposite direction. About llouf the cunatahulary,who arrived here last evening for Downpatrick, were being con veyed to Downpatrick in carriages attached to the goods train which leaves Belfast at 0.30 p.m. The train had only proceeded as far as the Knock station, two miles from Belfast. when it came into collision with an engine bringing empty waggons to Belfast. Thu policemen sus tained a severe shuck, but only one received uuy severe contusion. One of the fireman had his shoulder dislocated. DROWNED WHILE BATHlNG.—Yesterday after noon a young man about 23 years of age, named Mr. Wil liam Saxton, living at New Erompton, went down to Sheer ness with his wife and a party of friend* for the purpose of spending the afternoon by the seaside. He went with two tnends into one of the bathing machines, and appears to have got out a little beyond his depth. Not being able to swim, he became frightened and sank. A strung ebb tide was running at the time, which had the effect of driving him further from the shore. An officer in the army was standing on the beach at the time, and he immediately threw off his coat and plunged into the water to try and save the drowning man. He succeeded in taking hold of 'dui, and gut him some distance towards the shore, when he was obliged to loose his grasp, and he sank again. Al though several persons were on the beach at the time, none of them could swim, and Mr. Seaton was drowned not a dozen yards from the machine which he had entered a few minutes before. After seine time a boat was brought to the spot, and after dragging for an hour and • half the body was found and taken to a neighbouring publichouse, where an inquest will be held to-day. Although large numbers of people are conetautly using the machines, the bathing conipany have never thought it necessary to provide • small boat fur such emergencies as these. NARROW ESCAPE OP A TOURINT.—Three young gentlemen, two them belonging to Edinburgh, and the third from London, left Edinburgh by the express train on Tuesday morning, and having quitted the steamer at Turbot, on Lochlomond, they proceeded on foot rid Arro char, with the view of reaching lnversry that night. One of the party, it seems, had some knowledge of the locality, and, after passing Arrochar a few miles, it was resolved to alter their route, and make their way over the mountains to Lochgoilhead, which they Loped to reach early in the evening. Slowly they wended then - way up the face of the mountain, but, when near the top, they became quite bewildered, a close mist having Owed around them. They travelled on until near 9 o'clock, quite unconscious of where they were, or in what direc tion they were going, and when passing near the brink of a deep ravine, Mr. Shepherd, the gentlemen from Lou don, lost his foo ting, and in a moment disappeared, rolling down the steep hank for a distance of about 40 yards. Alarmed at the occurrence the other two young gentlemen cautiously descended the declivity a little farther down, and directed to the spot by the moans of their companion, they found him lying quite insensible, and considerably bruised and cut on various parts of the body, and bleeding profusely from a large wound on the back of the head. His friends having administered a small quantity of brandy diluted with water, and bathed hie temples with water, he slowly regained oonsciou-ness. On consultation, it was resolved to remain where they were till daylight on Wednesday morning, when the party — Mr. Shepherd being supported by his companions —pro ceeded to follow the course of the ravine. Ultimately, about 6 o'clock, they reached the road from which they had deviated the previous forenoon. They were then quite exhausted • but a conveyance having been obtained, the party, after getting some refreshment, proceeded to Glasgow.—Srornaaa. VALUE OF PROPERTY IN BELGRAVIA. —The noble mansion, No. 83, Eaton-square, the property and town re sidence of the late Dowager ady Truro, • corner house, erected by Cubist in his best style, moat commandingly situated on the north and favourite side of the square, presenting a double architectural facade, of good propor tions and imposing exterior, together with the coach-house and stabling at the rear, was yesterday sold by auction, upon the premises, by Mr. Moxon, of St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square, by direction of the executors of the late Dowager Baroness Truro, deceased ; the whole held for nearly 58 years, at a peppercorn rent, on the Marquis of Werminster'serate. It went for thelarge sum of 19,6001., the purchaser being required to take, by valuation, the chimney, pier, and other glasses, and reflecting panel, the Ilarge paintings by Mueberon on the staircase and in the dining-room, and all usual tenant's fixtures.
