THE regret with which the scientific world will hear of the death of Dr. MICHAEL FARADAY a: 1 1 be shared by all sections of the public. Althou-'h it had been known for some time past that there was no prospect that we should ever listen again to his simple but profoend expositions of his favourite science, his decease will none the less be felt to be a public loss. He was one of the few connecting links between the past and pre sent generations of scientific men. Dorn in Lord DERRY'S " pre-scientific age," he was contemporary with most of the men who popularized science both by teaching it to the general public and by applying it to the uses of civilization. In his own person he represented rather the philosophical thrn the utilitarian aspects of science, its love of know ledge rather than its search for practical utility. A patient investigator, who pursued science for its own sake, and looked upon the investigation of Nature's secrets as an almost sacred office or duty, he was one of the best examples of the truly scientific man. The true spirit of science possessed him. The knowledge to which long years of patient study led him was, in his estimation, its own complete reward. The vast generalizations to which his inquiries led the way, and which the present age will probably see taking their place among the fundamental truths of our knowledge, had for him the charm which the greatest minds have always felt in that which was their chosen pursuit. Had there been no public to appreciate his lucid exposition of the deep things of scientific investigation, ho would have pursued his inquiries with none the less devotedness, and with equal success. It was the simple love of science which sustained him in his studies, and which induced him to appear before the public to awaken in them a like appreciation of it. It is difficult to say what we do not owe of the public readiness to receive the most startling scientific truths to the reverent and profoundly sympathetic manner in which ho taught them. The union in him of the deepest religiousness with the corn pletest surrender to the scientific spirit, the entire absence of dogmatism, of self-assertion, and espe cially of that intellectual scorn which superior men so often feel for those who are less able, less en lightened, or less instructed than they are them selves, made him singularly able to mediate be tween the new ideas of philosophers and the old notions of the multitude. He had the confidence of the public as a philosopher, and he did not lose it as a man. Now that he is gone his fame will, of course, rest entirely on his discoveries. His high appreciation by his contemporaries may have been, in some degree, the result of that personal confidence which his clear and brilliant expositions produced—but his appreciation by those who will come after us will not be eery different from that of his contemporaries. In the history of his own science he will always occupy a high place ; and in the history of that wider generalization which, by establishing the unity of force, may not only corre late the sciences but unite them into one, he will always be put in a place of honour. It is when a man of quiet and nnostentatious merit passes away that we begin to remember how much the world owes to such. The programs of civilization is, in many important respects, the pro gress of science. It is the victory of man over Na ture, and it is science which points the way to that victory. But every great conquest which has been made has been prepared for by the quiet, patient investigation of men who loved science for its own sake, and has at length been achieved by the same patient toil. Mr. RUSKIN has most success fully shown that all the triumphs of the truest art have been won by men who loved it for its own sake ; that it is out of his deep love for his I work that the workman's perfection has come. This principle applies quite as much to science as to art. The great discoverer is not the man who loves the fame of discovery, but is always ho who, though he may not love fame less, loves know ledge more. Much is given him in his callini because he loves it much. Nor is it difficult to see why this principle must be always applicable. The pursuit of icier ce is only another form of the pursuit of truth. A great discoverer is in this way a great teacher and revealer of knowledge. He seeks in his retirement for knowledge of nature, and when it is found gives it to the world. But if he were merely hunting for discoveries as a gold digeer hunts for nuggets, with an eye to the en richment of himself either in fame or money, no true addition to the sum of our knowledge and no incm.se of the real practical value of science could possibly be made. Such scientific investigation is generally that of the charlatan, not of the truly scientific man. Indeed it very often happens that the practical application of scientific truth is made rather by the tradesman than by the man of science. The spirit of the one is to turn discovery and new knowledge to his own personal profit, and shut it up as much as possible from the world ; the spirit of the other is to give it all pos sible publicity, and make all the world rejoice in a new addition to its knowledge of Nature and its THE EXPRESS, W. power over her. The one nun Muielles the other other dies comparatively i lmor after having enriched mankind. But among the temptations to the personal use of science, by making it sub serve the love of fame or profit, which the present day peculiarly offers, it is of great importance to remember the value of quiet, unostentatious labour. It is not often the man who is most known who is most useful. It is not always those a ith whose names the " obstreperous trump" of fame is most familiar who are doing moat either for literature or for science. The greatest of our benefactors are often those whose great works, like good men's alms, are done iu secret. We can never know half our indebtedness to the quiet, patient investigators who are feeling their way towards great discoveries, but who never arrive at those discoveries themselves. Sustained only by that love of knowledge which is a better reward than fame, they occupy their lives in wining some little corner of a great field of knowledge, and establishing, as it were, a foothold upon it, from which others may go forth to make the final conquest. Such men are like the builders of our old cathedrals. They put themselves into their work, lavish their loving labour on it, and are abundantly contented with its beauty ; but whe ther they have associated their own names with it or not, the work thus done endures ; and because it was a delight to them, it remains as a sr.isfac tion to future generations. It is only men who, like FARADAY, feel that scientific investigation is a mission, who can make the public feel that scientific knowledge is a part of truth. This love of acier'e for its own sake creates in the unscientific multitude a kind of reverence for its conclusion's which nothing else could give. In ancient times the man of science surrounded himself with mystery. He assumed a sacred mission, and made the people feel its sacredness by such methods as were within his reach. In the present day we have come, in our modern fashion, to something of the same feeling. Our scientific men are listened to at oracles. We sit at their feet, se some other gene rations have sat at the feet of theologians and divines. When they expound for us the laws of Nature, we hear and believe. When they tell us of want of conformity to Nature's requirements, ' we amend our courses and endeavour to obey. When they ask us to rectify foregone conclusions and abandon time-honoured mistakes, we submit ourselves with such grace as we can to the''. superior knowledge. But such a power as this needs to be used with all that reverent care which only a sense of its importance can ensure. Lightly used it is abused, and the penalty of its abuse is its loss. In FARADAY'S view the man of science was the expounder of the CREATOR'S works. One aspect of truth had been given to his patient search, and it was his duty to teach that truth. What other view is consistent with the true dig nity of science, or with the position that we now accord to our scientific men? Taking that position, how, on any other view, can they properly fulfil its obligations or discharge its duties f We have given them the teacher's function and dignity— they take up with it the teacher's responsibility and duty. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) are to be guided except that contained in the Reform Act ; and the clause on that part of the subject is extremely vague. With regard to the use of private keys for opening the doors of railway carriages, the legality of which was brought before the Mansion-house police-court on Mon day, the Star thinks it is most desirable that the practice of locking carriages by the railway servants should be dis continued, except in cases where travellers themselves par ticularly wish to be locked in. The necessity for the ni e of private keys would then be removed, and the bye-laws of the companies against them might be allowed to remain as little known as they have been hitherto. Most of the journals of this morning have either leading articles or obituary notices on Professor Faraday, whose death we, exclusively announced in the Express of yet terday. so in war. Yet what better description can be given et that Abyssinian campaige for which, as ear military kited ligenoe informs the page, " prepeafikins we now fairly begun." We are going to throw a little army upon a point on the east coast of Africa, thence to marsh by unknown roads into an unknown country, against a barbarous and, possibly, inaccessible sovereign. Taken altogether, Abys sinia is perhaps the most out-of-tha-way region of the earth fora regular campaign. So far as the Times can judge, there will be little fighting to do, nor do we know that the climate is dangerous or the population hostile. The great obstacle in the matter is the mystery. 'When we have begun we must needs go on at any coat until we have accomplished something or other which can be re presented as victory. Possibly this achievement may be considerably easier than we now suppose, but it meat in any case be so costly, and is obviously so uncertain, that we can only hope Xing Theodore may listen prudently to the preliminary summons. The Herald says it is high time to settle the church-rate controversy ; that, if not compromised soon, it can only end in their total and unconditional abolition ; and that the interests of the church require as speedy • settlement as possible. It is to little purpme for an archbishop to protest that the church is perfectly ready for a compro mise, or for • bishop to express his belief that it is the earnest desire of everyone upon the episcopa{ bench to see • compromise effected. What is wanted is some positive, specific, definite scheme of compromise ; and the members of the episcopal bench are the very persons to consider, originate, and materially contribute to the success of such a scheme. The suggestion of the Herald is that the present church rate should be convey tad into a r►te for the main. tenance of the labile alone. Out of the 250,000/. now raised ►s church rates, the 133,000/, which is expended on worship and ceremonial would be sacrificed, and the 110,0001. devoted to the repair of the church f►brics would be retained. The work which the Boundary Commissioners will have to accomplish is verymuch a matter of detail, andtheir per formances must he judged accordingly, says the Telegraph. We may assume with considerable confidence that it will be performed with fairness and impartiality. The cha racter of the persons employed, the publicity attending their proceedings, and the local criticisms to which they will be subjected, are tolerably good guarantees that there will be no wilful attempts to favour any political party. There is more danger thatthe commission may miscarry from defects in its instructions. We have not yet any informs, tion respecting the principles by which the commissioners INESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1867. i s I. Estrus& Dm, B . t W. 1140,-- , ---,. W. IL Ito 12 F.

It certainly cannot be said that the Emperor . . speech to the Mayor of Arras contains any guaran tees for peace. When his Majesty says that weak governments only seek in war a diversion from em baraasments at home, he merely offers a valueless denial of an accusation which suspicion charges him with. Of course, when war comes, he will say, like all other potentates, that it was forced upon him, and will deny that he wanted it as a diversion before the general elections of 1869. There is nothing in this part of his speech one way or another. But when subsequently he insists upon the necessity of not giving way to " untimely' impulses, " however patriotic," he mat have been singularly infelicitous in the choice of his words if he does not mean that a time will shortly come when the word " let go" may be given to the patriotic feelings now pent up from considerations of expediency. By " patriotism " everybody understands him to mean extension of territory. Most Frenchmen that I see say the speech means war in the spring—the war which the Emperor meant all along after the Exhibition was well over, if he could make it worth M. de Bismarck's while to wait his convenience. I had written thus far when one of the evening papers brings the speech pronounced this morning at Lille, and which, as I read it, is still more acrentue in the "sense" of the Arras manifesto. The Emperor said to the Mayor and Corpora tion of Lille : When several years ago I visited the department of the North for the first time, fortune smiled upon me, and my utmost wishes were fulfilled. I had then just married the Empress, and I can say that I married France before eight millions of witnesses. Order was re-established, political passions were lulled, and I saw before me a new era of greatness and prosperity. At home all good citizens con fidently awaited the peaceable advent of liberty, and abroad I saw our glorious flag protecting every just and civilising cause. During the last fourteen years many of my hope. have been realised ; but now some black spots darken the horizon. As I was never dazzled by good for tune, so I shall not be discouraged by passing reverses ; and bow should I be discouraged when I see the peoplefrom one end of France to the other hailing me and the Empress with its acclamations, and constantly associating with them the name of my son ? On this day I come not only to take part in the commemoration of • glorious anniver sary in the capital of ancient Flanders, but also to make myself acquainted with your wants, to raise up the cou rage of some, o strengthen the confidence of all, and to endeavour to augment the prosperity of this great depart ment by seekiug the means of developing still more agri culture, trade, and commerce. You will aid me in this noble task ; but you will not forgot that the first oondi tion of the prosperity of a nation such as ours is, is to be conscious of its strength, not to be depressed by imaginary fears, and to rely upon the prudence and the peel:aim of the government. The Empress, touched by the senti ments which you ezpreu, joins me in thanking you for your warm and sympathetic reception. Amidst the usual contradictory news from Spain the most significant fact to my thinking is tho utter silence in regard to that country of this evening's Munitcur. The Haves agency has also ceased to say that the few insurrectionary bands "are utterly annihi lated." It has no despatches at all from Spain, either this morning or this evening. The Epoque has the following intelligence : After the battle gained over General Macao de Zuniga, General Fiend and Colonel Moriouni continued their forward march at the head of a strong column of up wards of 2,000 men, which was reinforced by deserters from the Queen's troops. We are assured that the movement has spread to Ciallioia. General La Toire (formerly a deputy) one of the most energetic officers In Spain, is manceuvring at the bead of 1,500 liberals in the environs of Valencia. The government has taken most rigorous measures at Madrid to prevent the least detail of what is going on in the provinces from being known in the capital. The French journals, with the exception of the Patric and one or two others, are seised every day. It is rumoured that Barcelona is in the hands of the in. surgents. If that news and the taking of Saragossa should be confirmed, the revolution must be already suc cessful. A Carlist leader, who lately passed through Paris for Spain, is to act in the Basque provinces, where arms and men are ready. From Burgos, Valladolid, Bilbao, and Santander, there is favourable news of the revo lution. The consultations of Jacob the Zouave have been stopped till further order. Marshal Forey has not written to confirm the fact of his cure, and the government probably thinks that the farce has now become a scandal, and will no longer relieve Jacob from his regimental duties. The imperial speeches at Arras and Lille had a momentary depressing effect upon the Rente ; but the impression that the Salzburg interview, while of " immense importance," excluded any " aggressive idea"—though to me it seems paradoxical—pre vailed, and the closing quotations presented no material alteration. French Flanders is at present celebrating the third centenary of its anion to France. In 1665, on the death of Philip IV. of Spain, Louis XIV. claimed posses sion of Flanders and Franche-Comte as an indemnity for the dowry of the Queen, which had never been paid. On the refusal of Spain, the province was occupied tn • single campaign. The following year Flanders was finally ceded to the crown of France. This is the event which is now being celebrated in the fees of Lille. FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT QUEENSTOWN. —An accident of a very melancholy nature has occurred in the harbour, by which two young gentlemen, residents of Queenstown, have lost their lives. Mr. George Scott and Mr. George Bailey set out in a small sailing punt on a fish ing excursion. The boat, which measured about 15 feet , over all, carried a MRilllllll/1 and jib, and was, in additina, amply ballasted with stone and iron, to the weight of 4cwt. When the young gentlemen started for the fishing ground, situated on the Cartigaline river, • very fresh breeze from the S.S.W. was blowing, and the little host reached the spot in safety. A short time after 4 o'clock they pot the boat about for home, the breeze continuing very fresh from the south-west, and, having reached the Crosehaven pier without accident, she was pat on the poi t tack for the Currabinny pier. When the little craft got from under the lee of the shore, and was exposed to the full force of the southwest wind, she laboured very much, and, as was subsequently shown, the skill of the helmsman was not equal to the emergency. A squall struck the boat, and her beam not being considerable she was easily turned over. She filled in immediately, end the weight of the ballast took her down, leaving the two occu pants struggling in the water. Mr. Scott was an expert swimmer, but his companion, it is believed, was not at all able to swim. The latter went down almost without a struggle, notwithstanding • courageous effort made by young Mr. Scott to save him. He, finding his attempt ineffectual, swam for the shore, and reached so close that he was heard calling to a young lad to launch a boat to him. The boy ran immediately towards the boat, telling Mr. Scott to swim on and that he would go to his assist ance. When the lad turned round again the unfortunate young gentleman bad disappeared. There is no doubt hut that he must have been very much exhausted through the attempt to save the life of his companion, and that when he tiled to save himself, his clothes were so saturated that he was unable to float. Mr. Scott is the son of Mr. Philip Scott, of the firm of Jame,' Scott and Co.. and Mr. Bailey was residing with his mother and sister at The Park, Queenstown. Mr. George Scott had not attained his twentieth year. and Mr. Bailey was • few years his senior. —Dublin Evening Mail.

After the decidedly disquieting effect of the meeting at Salzburg the public, says the Times, will be disposed to gather hope and encouragement from the speeches which the French Emperor has just pronounced at Arras and Lille. Some critics will see in the language used a meaning the very opposite to that which it presents to the mind of the unsophisticated, but the Times would rather take the worchi of the Emperor Napoleon as indi cating his real intentions, and believe that his sincere wish is to remove the disquietude that his recent journey to Salzburg has caused. It cannot be concealed, indeed, that • warwith Prussia, on any pretext and with any object, would be popular with a large part of the French people, and • march against the Rhine represents the " sphited foreign policy" now largely advocated in the rote and the barrack, but such • step would range the whole population of Ger many among his adversaries, for the Times believes it to bean idle dream that • Bing of Bavaria or a King of Wurtem burg would be able, even if he wished it, to induce his people to aid French invaders against the state which represents German independence. The day that foreign armies advance on the Rhine will see all these states, and probably even the German provinces of Austria, united to bar the way. The sagacity with which the French Emperor has governed France for nearly nineteen years induces the Timm to believe that he will not enter into so gigantic a contest with so untenable • cause ; but the language of a part of the French press gives sufficient reason that war like intentions should be explicitly denied. The Daily News trusts that the imperial speeches will succeed in allaying the irritation of the Prussian press and the suspicion of the German people. If there is any doles lurking in she generalities used it would be an ungracious task to find it out. Nothing can be more paternal than the tone of the French Sovereign. He tells the citizens of Arras they are right to have confidence in the future ; and that " only weak governments seek in foreign com plications to divert attention from troubles at home." The present government of France being the reverse of weak, it may be trusted henceforth not to seek diversion from troubles at home in such " foreign complications" as en interference in the family quarrels of Germany or an alliance with one German government to obstruct the natural policy of another ; or as an expedition to establish a Latin monarchy beyond the Atlantic. "If," says the Emperor, " thew have been dark spots, France has nevertheless again resumed her place in Europe." France never lost her place in Europe until, no longer true to her principles, she became the victim of her lust of conquest and insatiable fury of spoliation. She resumed her place in Europe even in the midst of her re verses, from the moment she resumed her freedom. The Second Empire has not given her back what the First Empire took away—neither the liberties nor the frontiers of the Republic. Put when it gives her back the liberties she enjoyed under the Restoration and the Monarchy of July France will have resumed the place in Europe she won in 1789. The Post hopes that the peaceful words which are hovering on the lips of men will prove true. In the midst of wars and rumours of wars we may be grateful for the smallest contributions to public confidence. A winter passed in the respectful observance of treaties may give time for reflection, which seems to be the main require ment. In tke opinion of the Post Prussia by her treat ment of Denmark on the North Schleswig question has unnecessarily caused impatience and provoked indigna tion. With regard to the national sentiment in Germany the Post is of opinion that if the character of the opera tions of Prussia in Germany since Sadowa must be con sidered in estimating the strength of her position, what will first striku the impartial observer is that the aggran disement of the Prussian monarchy, rather than the fusion of Germany under a national government, has been contemplated. The existing unity is purely Prus sian. If the Southern States come in, it will be to seek shelter under the wings of Prussia. The Post is simply stating the fact—whether, politically speaking, it be right or wrong is another matter. The Emperor of the French may mean war, observes the Standard, but ho certainly preaches peat*. If we are to judge the Emperor of the French, as we would an honest man, by his words—if we may venture to assume that he does not use speech to conceal his thoughts, but to express them, we must come to the conclusion that Europe has nothing to apprebeud from his ambition, and that if France goes to war she will be forced to it by the unjustifiable conduct of her antagonist. )08 TOPICS.

IN TELLII LATJ TEE SALZBURG INTERITIfiii The Abendpost of the 26th says :—" have already stated that the Salzburg interview has ended in a completely satisfactory manner. For any unprejudiced person these words can have only one meaning, namely, that the meeting of the two sovereigns has had the effect of placing in a clear light their reciprocal confidence and sympathy. We also insist upon this : that the interview had in no manner whatever an offensive character, or, to speak more explicitly, that there is not between Austria and France any understanding directed against another Power with a view to maintain the stipulations of the treaty of Prague."

On the south and ease coasts the Increase in pressure has ountinued . and the winds are principally westerly and light, with an overcast sky.

"It is this," adds the Dirilto , " which explains the hostile attitude of France." THE DEBT OF Istnioi.—The public debt of India has expanded very considerably of late years. In 1840 it amounted to :34,484,9971., and it gradually crept up in consequence of annual deficits for the next 14 years. Thus it stood, in April, 1841, at 35,922,127/. ; in 1842, at 38,404,4731. ; in 1843, at 40,478,6404 ; in 1844, at 41,883,4514 ; in 1845, at 43,502,750/. ; in 1846, at 43,891,8491. ; in 1847, 46,884,7251.; in 1848, at 48,757,2131.; in 1849, at 51,050,5184 ; in 1860, at 53,934,7681. ; in 1851, at 55,099,3151. ; in 1852, at 55,114,6931. ; and in 1853, at 56,233,6864 It should be remarked that during several of these years wars of more or less magnitude prevailed. In 1854 the deht was reduced to 53,683,4681.; but it nee in 1855 to 55,531,1201., and in 1856 to 57,764,2194 Then the great mutiny came. In April, 1857, the debt stood at 59,461,969/., but it had risen in April, 1858, to 69,473,4841.; in April, 18.59, to 81,171,3081.; and in April 1860, to 98,107,46 01 . Binoe then no very material addition has been made to the debt. In April, 1861, it stood at 101,877,0 9 1/, and although It had risen in April, 1862, to 107,514,1594, it bad receded in Apia, 18013, to 104,495,235 f.; In April,lB64, to 98,518,1454 ; and i n April, 1885, to 98,477,5.55/. During the last two years there has again been some increase, end we may take the debt of India at present in round figures at 100,000,000/. The charge for interest in 1840 was 1,595,778/. ; in 1845 it had risen to 2,009,0391.; and in 1850 to 2,558,9391. In 1858 it had fallen to 2,189,4331. ; but in 1860 it had risen again to 3,889,1911., and in 1865 to 4,482,3851. It is worthy of remark that, comparing 1865 with 1860, the Increased charge for interest wee 593,1944, while the Increase in the capital of the debt was only 2.70,095 1 . India has thus to pay • higher rate of interest on her loans than formerly. WATERLOO AND WHITEHALL RAILWAY COMPART.-(tHIS DAY The fourth ordinary half-yearly meeting was hell to -day at 7, Werleialeter Chambers, Vieteria-strett, Kr. J. PARSON ht the chair. The following is the report of the director : " In accordance with the course suggeated by the di• rectors in their repo: t of the 7th December, and appro e ,,i by the shareholders then, and at the subeequ nt meetings!, the - undertaking has remained in abey l l ets since that time. The attention of the board ha be% given to the passing of the est for confetti% further powers upon the company, which the d i rectors ar e happy to report nes received the sanction of both housee of parliament. By theca powers the company are e t . thorised to raise a further capital sum of 75,000/. for the purpose of completing the line by a preference stock of, if nemeses!, 8 per cent. per annum. Th e met a l so confers ex extension of the time for the completion of the worts. The directors tz ust that these powers will enable the com. pany to raise the additional capital required to finish the line. The time for utilising these powers, has not, the directors think, yet arrived, and they, therefore, realm. mend the shareholders to wait till the prevalent feeling o f distrust on the part of the public shall have passed away, and reliance is onoe more placed in enterrises of a boom fide character. They retain their co g & dance in the eventual value of the undertaking, It will be seen b 7 the accounts that no expenditure has been incurred winch was avoidable. It appearing to th e directors, on consideration , that under th e reso l ut i on of the last meeting, those shareholders who had paid i n f ull on their shares (therefore to the extent of 21. per share he yond the 8/. per share called, in advance of the other shareholders) were entitled to interest on the 2/. so paid in advance, they therefore decided to pay such interest to the 3Cth June last, and issued warrants for the sane accordingly." The CHAIRMAN explained that if they had determined neon abandoning the undertaking the whole of the original capital would be lost; but by raisins. further capital, and completing the line, they would at least have a chance of recovering themcelvee. They could not have obtained the act of parliament %About the concuirence of the creditors and the contractors, whose claim for works done and for compensation on soconnt of work, undone would have more than abcoebed the whole of the capital. After calling attention to the ma/ low figure at which the expenses stood, the salaries of secretary, clerks, kr., amounting only to between 2C31. and; 004, while the direr. tors received nothing, and expressing confidence in the ultimate success of the undertaking, he seconded the adop tion of the repot L Mr. BURKE seconded the motion, which was carded unanimously. The CHAIRMAN stated that the powers given by the act of raising fui her capital would not be exercised without the shareholders being called together and their west obtained. A vote of thanks to the chairman and direct)" concluded the proceed"l7,s, after one or two shareholders had et pressed astonishment and disappointment that the Smith Westeia had not availed themselves of the oppottunity which the proposed line would afford them of getting to Chas:lL-mow. EXTRAORDYNARY CABE OF POISONING BY CIDER, —An inquest baa been opened at Lyde, Herafordalfire, upon the body of a man named Hen r y D av i es , w h o died, as is alleged, from the effects of drinking palmed eider. From the evidence already given it appears thei the deceased was a labourer in the service of Ma Bashes, • lady of property living at Lyde. For some days penises to his death Davies had been engaged in the banal field with about twenty other men, each of whoa received • daily allowance of five quarts of cider. The effect of the cider upon the men was to make them feel sick and weak, with violent cramps, followed by vomiting. They agreed that it was the cider which was " bad," but rather than complain to their emplom they continued to receive their five quai is daily, eithe drinking it or throwing it away. On Friday week Davis' was seized by the cramp in his feet and legs, accompanied by • burning pain iu the stomach and he a d, an d was miff that he was obliged to leave his work. He went hew to his lodgings, and after Wining intense pain--grechi. coldly described by himself as resemblios "swords being thrust through hem"—he died on the following Ifeuilsy. A post-mortem examination of the body was Maas by two medical men, who arrived at the conclusion that the deceased had been killed by the poisonous effects of lead on the system. One of the doctors stated that he had for many years past had to deal with cases where the symptoms were similar to those manifested during the sickness of the deceased, and be had always found that his patients had been drinking cider impregnated with lead. In one case he remembered the cider had actually been drawn through leaden pipes, and in another the liquor had been stored in • cistern coated with a preparation of lead. It was not shown by the police that there had been any lead in contact with the cider given to Mrs. Burlton's men, and several witnesses swore positively that the casks containing it were entirely free from lead. The coroner then directed that • bottle of the cider should be sent fa, analysis to Professor Herapatb, and the inquiry was ad. jewelled. Neely all the men who partook of the cider suffered more or leas from the sickness which proved fatal to the deceased. DELAY IN THE CARRIAGE OF FISH BY HAIL. RAv.—At Liverpool on Monday an action was concluded in which Garton and others claimed compensation from the Greet Western Railway Company, for delay in the de. livery of large quantities of fish sent from Milford to Bil. Engird* Market in May last, The plaintiffs had pre. viously been in the habit of sending their Irish fish to London by the London and North Western Railway from Liverpool and Holyhead ' • but in the early part of the pre. sent year they entered in to an at rangement with the dr feadanta, by which the latter agreed to tun special traits from Milford to London, as the plaintiffs alleged, in tine for the morning market at Eillingsgate. The fish in question were sent on the 15th and 19th of My last, and arrived in due course at the cow patty's station ; but delivety was not made at Billingtgite until some time after the wholesale market was over. This delay was atttibutcd by the plaintiffs to the defendants not having sufficient vans and men ready at the station to unload and eat: away the fish. The defendants denied this, however, and sought to excuse themselves by opal that there was a glut of fish on the days in question, sad that the salesmen in Billingsgate were unable to receive the large quantity sent. With regard to the delay on the latter occasion, theysaid that on that day the Queen was expected at the station on her way to lay the stone of the all of Sciences, and the fish had in consequence to be sent to tie goods station, instead of the passenger station, so usual. After the first witness, however, for the defendants had been called, the learned judge intunated an opinion that there had been a want of due diligence according to the defendants' own evidence (an expre.ion of opinion is which the jury unanimously agreed), and eventually a verdict for the plaintiffs for 2501. was agreed upon betimes the parties. - Tug PUBLIC HItALTH. —The weekly return of the Registrar-General says:—ln the week that ended o• Sr turday.
