ASSAULT ON A CHILD BY A RAILWAY POSIT& William Croft, • porter in the employ of the South Eastern Railway Company, was charged with committing a molest assault upon Mary Ann Moynaban, 14 years of age, at the terminus, London-bridge. Mr. ilickling. o f Trinity-square, appeared for the com plainant ; and Mr. Henry Allen, prosecuting o ffi cer of the Associate Institute for Enforcing the Lews for the Protec tion of Women and Children, watched the caw on behalf of the eociety. The complainant, a veiglelioste looking child, said she lived with her f a th er , • k ee p er, a t 132 , S now ' s fi e ld • About 4 o'clock i n th e afternoon of the sth inst. she was with a companion and a little ohild five years of age, Walking up the incline towards the step leading to Tooley street, and just as she was about to proceed down the latter the defendant rushed upon her and struck her two violent blows causing her to fall insensible. She was picked up and carried home, and for a week was so unwell that she had to be attended by a doctor. Witness had not been near the refreshment rooms or in the way of any vehicles or passengers. Anne Sullivan, 12 years of age, corroborated her testi mony. James Wadley, • carpenter, residing in East-lane, Ber mondsey, maid be was waiting for his master on the incline near the steps, when he saw the defendant go up to the child and strike her two violent blows on the back, and she fell insensible. Witness lifted her up, and took her home. Witness did not see the child do anything to cause the porter to treat her in such • cruel manner. The defendant said he bad orders to keep the incline clear to prevent children being knocked down by vehicles or passengers and injured. He merely went to drive her awe y when she fell and hurt herself. The magistrate did not think that he intended to injure the child, but as be had *smutted her in rather • rough manner he must pay a fine of 10a. and costs. THZ LAT' PROPZIIBOZ FARADAY. Professor Faraday belonged to • sect called fiandimaniana or Glassites, founded by Messrs. filindiman and Glass, both Bootchnien. Bandimanianism professes very high Calvin ism, and has been decreasing in numbers and importance for many years past. Of late years Faraday was an elder, and frequently preached in the chapel, Gaswell-road, London. A oorrespondent from Nottingham writes—" I heard Faraday read the holy scriptures nearly forty years ago in the little eandimanian chapel, Hound's-gate (now • warehouse), in this town, and was then struck by the simplicity of his manners and the clearings and impressive ness of his reading." _ _ HIDE MARKET.—(THIS DAY.)

THE MEDICAL ARRANOEMENTS FOR THE MILI TANT EXPEDITION TO ABTMHNIA.—The military medical authorities are organising their plans for sanitary and hospital arrangements. The head of the sanitary branch of the Army Medical Department has been in conference with the Admiralty as to the shipping transport required. Three vessels are being fitted out as hospital ships. These will be utilised in two ways—as floating hospitals at the base of operations, and as transports for sick and wounded soldiers. The necessity for such ships as part of an expedition has now been fully demonstrated. Their importance in the present instance, where we have to effect • landing, and conduct a warfare in a distant and unknown country, is obvious. The system answered admirably, it will be remembered, during the last Chinese war. The Army Medical Depart ment on that occasion, probably was allowed to exercise • larger amount of power than it had ever done before ; and the result'. as far as regard, the sanitary state of the forces and the hospital organisation, were excellent. The design and arrangement of the ships employed there as floating hospitals were alike good, and the experiment was a most successful one. A campaign in Abyssinia might afford an opportunity for testing the new mode of carrying the ammunition in pouches. We trust it will not be forgotten that diseases resulting from animal parasites are endemic in Abyssinia. It is p rob able that the drinking water is the vehicle by which these parasites in an early stage of existence find their way to the interior of the body. There is a bisexual worm, the Bauer& Lematobia, very common on the borders of the Nile, and, according to Creisinger, very frequently disc overed in post-mortem examina tions. its presence gives rise to several important dymptoms : there is strong evidence for supposing that the ysentery of the locality may be dueto the presence of these parasites and their ova ; there arebesides well-marked affec tions of the urinary organs attributable to the same cause. The small round hair-like worm,tbe Trichocepbalus dispar, is also prevalent in Egypt and Ethiopia. The Selerostoma duodenale is also, according to Buharz and Greisinger, re markably abundant in the same places, and gives rise to serious disease. But most important and most common of all is the FM• medinensis—Draounculus or Guinea worm. It may be stated that while 10 per 1,000 of the troops in Bombay suffered from Dracunculua, as many as 246 admissions per 1,000 from this complaint arose among the soldiers serving on the Gold Coast. It takes up its residence in the cellular tissue beneath the akin, producing serious inflammation and disablement. It is essentially a tropical parasite, endemic to the climate, and finds its way probably from the water of stagnant tanks and pools, boring through the skin of the bare feet of natives and others. Most important in every way will it be to attend zealously to the supply of good water for the moldier,. The Indian officials should be able to utilise their experience of malarial and other pernicious fevers to pecu liar advantage.—Lancet. LIVERPOOL AND THE RAILWAYS.—At the Liver pool Dock Board meeting yesterday a discussion took place relative to • request made by the owners of some steamships trading to Ireland, for a reduction in the port charges, so as to make the charges as light se other ports, the owners of the steamships in question hinting chat if their request were not complied with, their trade would be diverted to other ports. The chairman ex dlained that the board bad not the power to remit the ues and port charges to anybody, and several members pointed out that great injury ha d been dose to the trade of Liverpool by the gross favouritism of some of the large railway companies to rival ports, by which many descrip tions of trade had been entirely diverted from the Mersey. The subject was ultimately referred to the finance coin. mittee, who are preparing • report on the subject. THI HARVEST.—The Ayr Advertiser gives rather a dismal account of the Scotch harvest. The weather has been more favourable for the crops since Thursday last than it was during the previous seven days. The atmo sphere has not been so dull and close. There was a good deal of sunshine on Saturday, on the afternoon of Sunday, on Monday and Tuesday, and the air was clear and com paratively healthful for wheat and potatoes. But it still continues to be an ungenial season. On Sunday morning there was more then enough of rain, which was followed by frosty mornings in the uplandson Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday was • bad day for the country. Rain fell in showers early in the morning, and it continued with little intermission till the afternoon. The best part of the oat crop has been beaten down, and the chilling of the soil delays the ripening at • time when farmers are looking anxiously for sunshine to bring the grain to maturity. On all hands there are complaints of unsoundness amongst the wheat. Some fields are ready for the reaper, but a much larger extent will require a long time of sunshine to mature it. Such extreme lateness in this climate is one of the greatest drawbacks to wheat. A very small crop which is ready at the end of August may yield more value of grain than a heavy crop three weeks later. The Northern WAig speaks in a very different tone 1 of the North of Ireland:—" Our reports of the crops oon. tinue of a very favourable character. In regard to oats especially, there seems a certainty that the crop will be a very superior one. The weather lately has been ex tremely favourable for growth, and oats have everywhere improved much more rapidly, and to a greater extent, than any of the other crops. Wheat, to all present appearance, will be a good average crop ; in some dietricts it will give a heavy yield. Flax is still spoken of as rather an in ferior crop, and there is still word of the disease among potatoes, though it does not seem to have anywhere yet penetrated to the roots. The yield of potatoes is generally spoken of as large, and the quality very good. Cutting has begun in several districts." An old fish-dealer in Hull was detected in the set of assaulting a little girl whom he had decoyed into his shop. The shambles were soon in an uproar, and the indignant crowd, in which fishwives predominated, seised the offender, half killed him by pelting lim with his own fish, soused him into • tank of water, and then banded him over to the THE BOAT AOCIDENT OPP CLEETHORPES. —TIIO adjourned inquest was held yesterday, and lasted more than six hours. The evidence went to show that the boat was unfit to carry passengers under sail, and it was ordered to be destroyed. The coroner WY requested to write to the Board of Trade on the faulty regulations applying to small boats carrying passengers. A verdict of " Accidentally drowned" was returned, but en opinion was expressed that the deaths were caused to a great extent by the mismanage ment of George Irving, such mismanagement falling little short of manslaughter. Irving was severely reprimanded by the coroner.—Maisekseer Guardian. THE CHOLERA AND THE GERYAN LODGING- Norms IN LIVIRPOOL.—As large numbers of German emigrants are constantly arriving in Liverpool, great an dety is felt, particularlysince the known prevalence of cholera in Rotterdam, that the tows should bepreserved by every available means from a pestilence which created such havoc last year. The heath committee are about to initiate a system under which the German lodging-houses and hotels can be thoroughly inspected. At present some legal difficulties are in the way. THE YELLOW FeV R AT TA MA ICA. —FTOM the accounts received by the last mail, it is evident that the disease manifests no signs of abatement. It may now be said to bo epidemic. The troops at Newcastle have suf fered severely. Ten deaths had taken place in the 84th Regiment since the date of the last mail, but none had occurred in the Royal Ar tillery, although encamped at Newcastle in the tune Positions as the 84th. The admissions have been almost, but not quite, exclusively from huts. With the exception of three companies, all the troops are now occu pying tents. The oases are described as having been very Revere, and resisting all treatment, but latt erl y they have improved, and the symptoms have assumed • more dis tinctly remittent type. There had been several fat .1 cases at Kloggton. Two civil practitioners on the island had fallen victims to the disease.—/maret. A phcard headed " Notice to Binders" was con spicuously posted in the village of Kell*, Co. Kilkenny, on the night of the 24th inst., and threatened " all binders after m ach ines who did not receive half-a-crown a day and support" with instant death, and their houass to be burned. Since 1&39, when same reaping machines were destroyed near Kilkenny, nothing of this kind has manifested itself is the asiihboarlasod. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Oira o'Ozocz. The stock markets to-day are rather firmer, and prices have improved, but the advance is not general, attention being chiefly directed to the completion of the fortrightly settlement. Pur chases for a rise have been induced by the satisfactory accounts from many parts of the country with regard to the grain crops, and by the announcement that nearly one million sterling in gold is on the way hither from Australia. There is also a loss uneasy feeling with reference to political affairs abroad. Console have recovered per cent., and some of the home railways and foreign securities to There is a rather good demand for money to day, owing chiefly to the Stock Exchange settle ment, but the rate for choice three months' bills is still to 11 per cent.

The bar silver and a portion of the Mexican dol lars by the steamer Rhone were sold yesterday for the continent—the former at fie. OP. per ounce, and tho latter at 4s. lid., showing no change of importance, compared with recent quotations. The failure is annomoed of Mr. W.

FATAL NEGLIGENCE OF A CHEMIST.—An inquest was held on Wednesday by Mr. Prior, the deputy-coroner for Salford, on the body of an infant nan,ed Allen Whittaker, who had died from the effects of • dose of laudanum. The parents of the deceased live in George-street, near the shop of Mr. Robinson, chemist, in Arlongton-street. The child had been ill for several days, and on Monday a neighbour advised Mrs. Whittaker to get • tincture of rhuburb to stop vomiting and purging. Mrs. Whittaker went to Mr. Robinson, and asked him what would be a good thing to atop infantile diarrhoea. Mr. Robinson recommended • mixture known as " infants' pre servative," but Mrs. Whittaker replied she would have some tincture of rhubarb, as it had been recom mended to her. Mr. Robinson told her she could have some, and he filled her a small bottle of what she sup posed to be tbe tincture, telling her to give the child a tcupoonful occasionally. Mrs. Whittaker gave the chilcke teaspoonful, and in a few minutes it became so very drowsy that her suspicions were aroused, and she took the child to Mr. Tomlinsoe, surgeon, Crescent. That gentleman asked her if she had given the infant any " sleeping drops," and she enured him that she had done nothing of the kind. Mr. Tomlinson made up some medicine, a part of which Wile given to the child, but it grew worse, and Mrs. Whittaker then sent the bottle back to Mr. Robinson, with a request that he would examine the mixture. He did so, and found that he had given tincture of opium instead of rhubarb. His son, Mr. R. H. Robinson, who is • surgeon, and lives with him, immediately attended the child, but he could not counteract the effects of the poison, and death took place on Tuesday night. Mr. Robinson', explanation was that when Mrs. Whittaker mane iu she asked his opinion as to whet would be hest for the child, and after he had given it she persisted in taking the advice of her neighbour. Thereupon, he said, he became so annoyed that he took a bottle down from a shelf and gave the woman part of the contents, without looking .it the label ; and he afterwards found that the bottle containing laudanum had got into the place usually occupied by that containing tincture of rhubarb. He wished the jury to understand that he was invariably very careful in transacting his business. The deputy-coroner said the jury must decide whether the chemist hail been guilty of such gross negligence that he ought to be in dieted fn manslaughter. After deliberating in private, 1 the jury found that the deceased died from the effects of laudanum administered through misadventure, and they soomnpanied the verdict with a severe censure of Mr. Robinson's carelessness.
