Ir is s relief, after recent experience of epi scopal and theological temper, to meet with • bishop's charge which, like that of the Bishop of LINCOLN, deals with the difficulties of the day in a manly spirit. Of late we have been accustomed in the public letters and speeches of ecclesiastics to a feminine querulousness and an exacerbation of feeling very unworthy of a class claiming and needing the public confidence. Complaints, accusations, and threats have been showered down upon society by the beads of the Church with a freedom very remarkable in men who are content to owe so much to the world they condemn. We have had a notable instance of this in the laboured objurgation which forms the staple of the Bishop of GLOCCE,TER and BRISTOL'S Charge to his clergy. Anything more craven than this composition with its dreary reflections and sinister predictions, has not been seen for • long time. It would appear that the Bishop, whose apologetic writings, wo believe, constitute his title to the mitre, had taken to upbraiding in despair of con vincing mankind. His whole talk is of " baleful " and ominous signs," of " gathering doubts" "tem " ing dangers," "a suffering and persecuted " church,"and last of all, "Antichrist" What does all this mean ? Has every kind of Apoca lyptic woe then been reserved by Providenze until now to furnish • striking theme for Bishop Ecticorr's primary charge ? It is not so. There has no trial happened to his clergy or to this age but such as is common to men. Dr. Eunforr has been taken from cloistered studies to bear rule in the Church, and he must magnify his office ; but it is unfair of him to frighten us with startling imagery drawn from his immense learning. A wail like his has gone up in all periods of ecclesiastical history. The evils he pourtrays, error and worldliness, are just those which the Church exists as a divine institu tion to oppose. They are assumed in its very idea. Bishop Etticorr complains that the Ministers of the Church are only honoured as " a kind of " spiritual police, useful as long as occupied "in the general maintenance of order, worse " than useless, destructive, mischievous, when. " ever they assert a fearless allegiance to their " own true Master, or manifest any steady " determination to abide by the doctrine and dis " cipline of His Church." These are strange words to fall from the mouth of Bishop Etticorr, of all men. Why, is it not the fact that this " fearless allegiance," this " steady determine " tion," instead of being a hindrance to the worldly advancement of an ecclesiastic in these days, is rapidly rewarded by the shrewd poli ticians who make Bishops with the most lucrative appointments in the Church ? Is it not true that for the last three years canonries, deaneries, bishoprics, and archbi shoprics have been bestowed as they never were before bestowed, as the reward of controversial activity, doctrinal treatises, Bampton lectures, and replies to " Essays and Reviews "? Orthodoxy is not a cross in these days, but a crown ; and it is astounding that, at a time when every clever young graduate has been taught that polemical skill is the best recommendation to the highest places in the hierarchy, Bishop Euaoorr should look outside the Church for "worldliness of tone " and feeling." It is pleasant to turn from unjust im peachments and unworthy complaints to the healthier language of the Bishop of LINCOLN. Dr. JACKSON was consecrated before events, and still more the injudicious conduct of a few zealots, had given • factitious importance to controversial topics; but he was known as an eminent scholar and a proficient theologian before his right reve rend brother of Gloucester had taken his degree, and, as we might expect to find, be addresses his clergy with the composure and practical aims of one who has long been conversant with men and things. His references to the controversy of the day are made in a free English spirit. He recognises their just importance, but utters no wild shriek of alarm. He speaks like • man who has a calm confidence in his cause. He remembers that every age has its peculiir trials through which the Church has been sustained by its Divine Founder and Head. He observes that " The history of heresies and of the " various forms of schism and infidelity which " have from time to time infested the Church " has been almost uniform. Rising to light on " the surface of the prevailing wars of thought they have at first assumed an " importance and crested an alarm quite dispro " portioned to their real weight and substance. " An unexpected blow stems, as it were, the faith "of the day, and there is a confused and " uneasy feeling that the foundations of the truth "are endangered, and that the evidences of reve " lation, or some of its great doctrines, are weak " erred or shaken. Gradually, however, nearer " examination detects the fallacies which wore so " bold an exterior, and takes to pieces the theories " which !nuked so strongly built. Objections are " found not to be refutations, and difficulties to " be capable of solution or far outweighed by the THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1864. "difficulties of the other alternative. A champion "for the truth is raised up with special endow " manta for its defence, or the common sense of "mankind proves too strong in the long run " for the specious sophistry of error ; "and attacks upon Christianity or its " doctrines which have unduly alarmed the Church " and have vauntingly proclaimed their assumed " victory have slowly retreated, baffled and for gotten, not without; injury, indeed, to the faith "of individuals, but leaving the fabric of the " truth unshaken and unimpaired. Such we may " confidently expect will be the history of the " sceptical theories which form the prevalent " danger and trial of the faith of our day." This is history and common sense. Bishop Jacamorr is not in favour of the revived system of crying down man and books in synods. He knows the inevitable effect of such tactics on the English mind. He remarks that "if in the last century the " infidelity of TOLAND, and the errors of Wilisros " and CLARKE faded into oblivion, the instrument "of their suppression was not the condem nation of the Synod, but rather the " pens of BENTLEY and WATaRLAND and PALEY. Accordingly it is from the learning and piety of duly qualified men that he looks for the suppression of error in these our days. All the clergy are not required to assume the posts of controversy or employ their pens in the defence of the faith. " But of all it is required to study carefully and " deeply those Holy Scriptures out of which they " have vowed to instruct the people committed "to their charge ; and to pray fervently for guid " ante into the whole truth which by man's dull " inner vision can be only spiritually discerned." This is sound advice, and these are the means by which the clergy will best establish and maintain their hold on the people. LATEST INTELLIGENCL RUSSIA AND THE ITALIAN CONVENTION. The Inralide Busse contains some observations on the subject of the convention of the 15th Sep tember : That document (it nays) cannot, even in the opinion of its partisans, produce the fruits expected from it uttil Ital► shall have emancipated herself from revolutionary passim', and Rome from the obstinate reaction which pre vails there. The latter alternative is more improbable than the other. The Pompom' and spiritual interests we so closely united in the person of the Roman catholic pontiff that he will be always men to have recourse to his temporal authority to stifle all nameable progress in him states. He will also be found to constantly employ his high spiritual influence to everywhere excite the catholic clergy against all acts contrary to the preponderance of catholicism. Whatever may be the dangers in • not dia. tent future, the Pope will unfortunately remain faithful to his maxim—Pus possentu. The Moscow Gazette thinks it was very wrong that the court of Rome was not invited directly to take part in the formation and conclusion of the treaty. It is also astonished that the cabinets of Paris and Turin, without regard for the immense interests which all the other catholic powers must feel on the Roman question, could have decided amongst themselves that no foreign intervention for the settlement of this question would be permitted. The Moscow journal considers that one of the immediate consequences of the eva cuation of Rome will be the approximation of France and England. As to the alliance between France, Prussia, and Russia, the idea of which was attributed to M. de Bismarck, the Moscow Gazette rejects it as far as concerns Russia, who would have nothing to gain thereby. Such an alliance, it maintains, would ',Ely be of advantage to the Western Powers. Russia ought to remain indepen dent in order to take up at its leisure the Eastern question, and it ought to avoid any alliance which may lead to new demands for concession to Poland. In a word, the attitude of Russia ought to be that of isolation in its strength, and its policy that of developing its institutions and the internal prosperity of the empire.

At to-day's sitting of the conference, the Danish plenipotentiaries are said to have made certain con cessions in the boundary and financial questions, but they in , dgted that the Duchies should have no part of the indemnity paid for the redemption of the Sound dues, and finally made a fresh proposition for the settlement of the question.

(nom on OWN PARIS, WZDSISDAT EVICIRIIO. There is yet a new phase in the tiraillements, which I have noted within the last two or three days as prevailing in court circles. Prince Humbert, who was to have left Paris for Turin to day, has, the Pays announoes, postponed his de parture till to-morrow, in order to take leave of the Empress. This news, which coming from such a source I assume to be true, negatives the scandalous report that Prince Humbert was leaving Paris prematurely, expressly to avoid meeting the Empress. But it fails to explain why he does not stay in France till the 20th, as the same journal, the Pays, announced' only three or four days ago that he would do, and' why the special preparations for fetes in his honour at Compiegne are all in vain. There is certainly no known pressing reason arising out of the state of affairs in Italy, why he should return so suddenly to Turin. Moreover, when Wednesday was fixed for his departure, it was well known that the Empress was coming back the next day. There has, therefore, been a change in the arrangement. The Patric gives the improbable news that the Empress at this moment, on her way from Baden Baden to St. Cloud, is " accompanied " by the Count de Goltz. That the Prussian Ambassador may be travelling from Strasbourg in the same train as her Majesty is possible, but that he should be otherwise "accompanying" her would shock all common sense, considering the notorious diplomatic coolness which exists between France and Prussia and the failure of the attempt to brig about an interview between the Queen of Prussia and the Empress Eugenie at Baden. It must be expected, whatever may be the real anticipations of the French government as to the consequences of the convention of Sept. 15, that it will continue to profess the utmost respect for the Pope, and a full expectation that he will accept the "means" provided for him to preserve the tem poral power. There continues to be not the slightest opinion that the Pope will lend him self to the convention. Letters from Rome state that the Pope's councillors are mainly decided upon the question whether to oppose an " active resist ance " or issue a protest to the catholic world, and wait events. I observe in a telegram from Vienna a piece of news which, if literally true, would be of capital importance. It is stated that when the French ambassador communicated to the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs the purport of the convention of Sept. 15, the latter, after an irrepressible gesture of astonishment, asked whether lie could see the text of it, to which the French minister rejoined that he could not show it yet because it would not be "definitive" until ratified by the Italian chamber "and by the Pope !" If the latter condition were really part of the contract, it is obvious that the whole convention would be a miserable joke,because nothing is more certain than that the Pope, so far from ratifying it, rejects, spurns, and spite upon it from beginning to end. Ido not find, however, that the evening papers attach any importance to the above news, and I take it for granted that it must be incorrect. The Bourse is still heavy, but there is no change in the quotations of the Rente. The Pairie to-night contradicts the rumour,which has been widely accredited, that the parliamentai f session would be opened before Christmas ; it will not take place till about the usual time, i.e., in January or February next year. CURIOUS CHARGE OP PERJURY. Yesterday the Brighton borough magistrates, confiding of Mr. Brigden (mayor), Mr. A. Binge (stipen diary), Mr. Montagu Scott, Mr. Cordy Borrows, end Mr. Hollis, were engaged the whole day in investigating a curious charge of perjury preferred against a tradesmen. The party charged is Mr. Henry Mowbray, auctioneer and estate agent, ea the Grand Parade, and also agent to the Railway Passengers Insurance Company. The prosecutor is Mr. Samuel Thorocroft, amistent oversew of Brighton, and registrar of births, marriages, and deaths for St. Peter's district in that town. It appeared that cm the 20th August Mr. Mowbray called on Mr. Thorncroft, at the parochial offices at the bottom of Church-street, and asked Mr. Thorn croft to insure with him, and that a conversation ensued, which resulted in Mr. Thorncroft agreeing to inmate for 250/., the expense of which would be 11. Is paymeat Mr. Tharucroft drew a cheque on the Locdon and County Bank, and took from Mr. Mowbray • receipt for 11. A few days afterwards, on looking at the counterfoil in his cheque-book, he found • memorandum that the corresponding cheque was Si., and this he immediately corrected to it., but when be received his bank book at the end of the month he found that he was debited 51. in the name of Moibray. Finding that he bad thus inadvertently drawn a cheque for Si. instead of It., he sent for Mr. Mowbray, and asked for the restoration of the 41. Mr. Mowbray replied that when Mr. Thorocroft paid him the 11. hominid he never drew cheques for so small an amount as it., and that he consequently drew • cheque for U., receiving from him (Mr. Mowbray) the 41. balance. This Mr. Thorocroft denied. He declared that he never received the 4/., and that he said nothing whatever as to not drawing small cheques. In fact, the very next cheque that he drew was fer I/. The parties being unable to agree upon the facts, Mr.Thorocroft sued in the county court for the 41. • fortnight duce, when both par ties swore to what is mentioned above, Mr. Thorocroft sup porting his version of the transaction by the evidence of Mr. Underwood, the deputy assistant overseer, and a clerk named Carpenter, both of whom denied that any coin pared on the occasion in question. The judge of the county oourt (Mr. Furser) gave • verdict for the plaintiff, Mr. Thorn croft, ordering the immediate restoration of the 4/. by Mr. Mowbray. Since that time Mr. Mowbray had in conversa tion charged Mr. Thorocroft with perjury ; and Mr. Thorn croft, replied by samnioniog kink before the magistrates sod charting the perjury on the other aide. Mr. A. T. Mills, of Brighton, conducted the tion ; Mr. J. G. Langbani, of Uekfield, was for the defeooe. Mr. Ewen Evershed. the registrar of the county court, and Mr. Woodhiun, the usher of the court, produced the record of the case, and gave evidence of the defendant having sworn that he banded the four sovereigns to Mr. Thorocroft. Mr. Thorocroft himself was examined, and I having detailed all the circumstances of the Gees reiterated him averment that no money passed. He wee cleverly cross. examined by Mr. L•ogham. Mr. Underwood and the boy Carpenter gave evidence in corroboration. They did not see Mr. Mowbray give Mr. Thorncroft the four sovereigns, although they were in a position to see all that took piece. Mr. Lengham, in • powerful address, urged that it was far more probable that Mr. Thoracroft's =moot., failed, than that Mr. Mowbray had committed deliberate and wilful perjury. Mr. Mowbray came from Leicester, where be had been guardian and vice-chairman of the board of guardians ; and when he left Leicester his townsmen presented him with a piece of plate. He proposed to call 25 witneases.who would give him the highest possible character. The magistrates, after a sitting of six hours, decided on committing Mr. Mowbray for trial, but admitted him to bail, himself is 1001. sad tee sureties in 501. each. Fires continue to occur in Russia. The town of }ioniclsk, in the government of Saloum had 17 houses burnt down last week ; and at Reneebnrg, in the govern ment of Rama, 150 were reduced to ashes. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—A meeting was bold at Devooport ea Itooday at which it was stated that 5,5001. will be necessary to liq uidate the exposer that will be incurred by the suit of the Royal Agricultural Society to Plymouth in 1865. Of this sum about 5,0001. has already been subscribed, ineludiog a contribution of 100 guineas by him Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. - - THE ROYAL SUVEIIEIGN.—In justification of the extraordinary determination taken by the Lords of the Admiralty in regard to this ship, we are informed that the Royal Sovereign was sever intended for • sea-going ship. She is • floating battery for harbour defence, capable of being sent to any port in the Channel ; but not adapted to cruise with a squadron. She has no masts, and her decks are too low for • sea-going ship of her tonnage. To try her, therefore, with the ships of the Channel equadrou would have been of no practical use. She was sent to Portland as • convenient piece for trying her turrets and guns and her behaviour in • moderate seaway. After theme trials had been in progress for some time the destroetioe of her hawse pipe by an aocidestal shot left her with only one anchor, sod for the safety of the ship it was necemary to bring her back to a dockyard. Captain Osborn then sent up • list of defects and alterations, which were ordered to be carefully examined, and, as they would require a considerable time to make good, no advantage would be gained by keepiug the ship is commission with • large number of officers and men, with the winter approachiog. It was therefore determined to attach the ship to the Excellent as • tender, keeping Captain Osborn, the first-lieutenant, sod • sufficient num ber of men on board to carry on the further experiments with the turrets and guns that might be desirable. end also to have the essistanee of Captaia Key and the officers and men of the Excellent in orrying out those experimenia.— Times. THE INSrRANCE COMPANIES AND THE ERITH Ecri.orios.—The following letter (says the Timeo) relates to the question which was metal. to arise as to the liability of insurance companies with regard to the damage tamed to surrounding houses by the gunpowder explosion at Erich. A CYO which will be used io some degree as • precedent oc curred io February last, when a vessel named the batty Sleigh exploded in the Mersey, mosiag injury to several Imams on the shore. On that occiseioe the offices, although they dial not consider themselves technically liable, re solved to pay all claims. One shareholder, 11011•VW, of the Royal Insurance Company disputed their right to do se. and prayed for as ieimictioe in the Vice-Chan cellor's Court, where the application was refused, the Asti. timer being °oedemata:l in the orate of the promise. Distil within the last few years the companies did not hold them selves liable even for losses occasioned by the explosion of gas ; but it is believed they always met any claims on that more, provided the circumstancia were of an ordinary kind. After the iastaaoe of the Lotty Sleigh it was suggested that the °Mom should some to a fixed decision as to what should be the uoderstaeding in all such accidents for the future, hut they neglected to do so, and bents there is a possibility that much angry or conflicting discussion oe the subject, may now have to be encountered :—" Erich, Oct. s.—Sir.—A question will very naturally arise who is to pay for the do mese dooe to furniture, the lose under which head is, taking my own case, which I think is slight compared with some, far more serious then is toads out in the newspaper accounts. I happeued to be insured in the Sun-office. Their managers regret' that they most decline compeseating ' for the injury my property lam sustained. What course other companies may take Ido not. at the momect, know, but it will be well that this question should be at once ventilated in order that we may know what course to take. It seems clear that some one ought to pay, and I thought, even if not legally liable, they might at least listen to claimants and meet them is part under their policies. I enclose my card, and! shall feel obliged by the insertion of them few lime in your colonise.— Your obedient servant, Inseam" . _ BALLINASLuL FAIR.—The grest October fair for cattle, sheep, and horses is thornily event in the year which breaks the monotony of the liven of the inhabitants of Ballittsalce, and impart& a temporary appearance of hun tress soil animation to the usually dull streets of that tows. The fair lasts four days. daring which, and for the two or three preceding and subsequent days, the town is crowded with strangers from all parts of the kingdom, with very often a good number of tourists from the Continent and America, to the Great profit of the inhabitants. The large business houses of Dublin also seed down repreeeetatims to open branch establishments, and many of the local Owl,- keepers retire from business for the week and let their premises to their competitors from the metropolis, who pay for the accommodation much more than the owners could hope to make by continuing to carry on their bailees". The appearance of the town would be pleasing and picturesque were it not that the " fair " weather in proverbially wet, and that business is usually transacted nadir a constant downpour of rain, which fills the rudely. paved streets with mud, and reduces the fair green to a swamp, in which the representatives of the bucolic interest sink nearly keee deep white chaffering over their bargaisa. This year, however, the fair commenced under auspices of exceptional brightness, the weather being (for the first time since 1&59) as fine as mould be desired, arid quite pent and summer-like. The town on Tuesday bad at. unwontedly busy aspect, the streets being crowded with buyers, sellers, and drovers of live stork, to large numbers. The total somber of sheep sold during the day was 57,424 ; the total sold in the two days lret year was 5.3.934, and the unsold 19,540. Very few remained unsold yesterday. INCENDIARY FIRE NEAR LINCOLN.—About 2 o'clock on Tuesday morning intelligence wee brought to the police station at Lincoln that the farm premises of Mr. Edward Andrews, of Fiskerton. about six miles in an easterly direction from Lisoolo, were °a fire. Thecity dee mese, with four horses attached, was immediately sent to the nese of the disaster, but when they arrived it was found that the fire had burnt itself out, havieg takes, plane in the walled-in erew-yard, No water was to be had within nearly a mile of the place. On examination a shocking sight was presented to view, so Ice than ten fine bleats, eleven pigs, and a quantity of poultry being literally masted alive, and their dead women lay strewed about the yard, smoothie a most sickening spectacle. Fortunately the night was 'ere still, sad the stacks in the stack-yard and farm buildings were saved by having wet blankets placed over them. It appeals that one of Mr. Andrews' daughters bed corms home ill from school, and requiring Nome drink betwes• 11 and 12 o'clock at night, one of the servants got oat of bed to attired to her. and found the room illumined with light. On opening the window she found the crew.yard in flames, and os giving ea alarm she saw two men, who were talking together, ceasing sway from the premises in the direction of the plantation at Short-ferry, about a quarter of • roils distant, There in not the slightest doubt that the for is the diabolical work of aa hieesdiezy, sod the damage sustained amounts to nearly 4001. Mr. Andrews, who bad a serious fire on his premises about 11 years ago, is ienred in the Midland Counties Office. THE REGISTRATION. -(THIS .GAY.) CITY OF LONDON. Mr. Alfred Hanson, the barrister appointed to revise the list of voices for members of parliament repro. acnatio . g the City of London, held his third court this fore. noon is the Court of Common Pleas at Guildhall. Mr. Sidney Smith sod Mr. George — Ledger tanded for the Liberal Registration Association, and Mr. Walter Notes of the firm of Notes, Carlisle, and Francis) appeared for the City of London Conservative Registration Association to watch the interests of the cootervatives. Nothing of interest occurred during the morning sittin g , during which the court was occupied in revising the lists of parishes in the wards Billieipgate, Biahopepte, and Bassis. thaw. THE RAILWAY BRIDGE AT BLACKIPRIARS. FIRST TRAIN IN THE CITY TO THE LUDGATE STATION.-(THUS DAY.) This morning a trial trip train, consisting of several carriages laden with a considerable number of the directors of the London, Chatham. and Dover Railway Com pany, with Mr. Cabitt, the eugiaser, Mr. Th omas, Mr. Ken nard, the cootractor for the iron work of the railway bridge, and several other gentlemen, passed over the new bridge at Blackfriars, and along the remainder of the line across the new Earl - street viaduct, to the platform of the Ludgate station, near to Arothe caries...hall, for the purpose of viewing the work and an , bouncing the oompletiou of the superstructure. The train panted smoothly and easily along the line, and as it pro ceeded from the southern to the northern end of the bridge the directors were loudly cheered by the large quantity of persons passing along the temporary roadway closely ad jacent. The bridge consists of four lines of railway, but it was upon those of the western side that the train ran upon this 000ssion. A new feature in this bridge, when alto. gather finished, will be that, along the top of th e: cross ellip tical braces on both lines of railway, 20 lines of tei wire on each side will be fixed, making 40 in the width 56 fat; thus making skied of curve overhead, which will have a very pretty and unique appearance. The examina tion throughout was deemed perfectly satisfactory. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO A POLICE INSPECTOR IN THE NEW CATTLE MARKET. INQUEST.-(THIS DAY). This forenoon Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy coroner for the City of London, held an inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, touthiog the death of Inspector John Jenkin Terry, of the metropolitan polies. Sergeant K Booth, N division, said that the deceased was an inspector of the N or Islington division of the pnliee 'force. Oo the 12th September, at a quarter to 3 o'clock in the morning, he and witness were going round the New Cattle Market • when in the sheep alley, which was very imperfectly Belted, they came upon • shepherd's dog lying asleep. The deceased did not see the animal, and be walked on him and fell over.

Dr. E. smith, assistant physician to the Hos pital for Consumption and Disease of the Chest at Bromp ton, has just published the inaugural address which, as pre sident, be delivered before the Physiological Sob-Section of the British Association at Bath. The following is the pas sage in which he refers to " &alleges& :"—" A considers tMei of the dietary of the general community must have regard to two classes at least, viz., the well-fed middle and higher classes, and moderately fed or ill-fed labouring classes ; but time will not allow me to refer te the former further than to offer a few observations on ' Beatingism,' whilst I shall describe the latter is some detaiL The at tention which has recently been called to &atingle= has, I think, been advantageous to the community, by showing the effects which Bow from a regulation of dietary, and by gaining she oonfidence of the public in ►he science of the question. The names of ►he components of food are sow far more widely known than before, and we may almost assume that all persons know the difference between car boo and nitrogen in the;r ultimate use in the animal system. lam not bare conotward with the medical ques tion, as to whether it is desirable to reduce the bulk of • given individual—a circumstance which must always be left to the judgment of the medical man in charge of the case ; but I feel compelled to state, that it would be an evil to this nation, both physically aid mentally, if the system of rednetioo were to become at all general ; and that, on the contrary, regarding the whole population, we Deed to add to, rather than take from, the weight of the body. I would also add my experience as a physician, that even in the well fed classes I bare seen very serious diminution of both bodily and mental vigour follow the working out of the plan. Omit tiog, therefore, any reference to the question of health, and considering the subject scientifically, we must admit that in • fall-fed and fat man the fat and fluids of the body may he lessened, and the whole bulk and weight proportionally reduced by this system, and that upon principles which have long been well established. The whole plan is to reduce the carbon or fat-forming elements in the food to • point much b=low the daily wants of the sys tem, so that • portion of the fat already in the body may be consumed daily, whilst at the same time the nitrogenous elements are supplied with at least their usual abundance. This is effected by withholding separated fate, as butter and the fat of meat, and by very greatly restricting the analogous food, starch, which enters largely into the com position of flour and all armies. The supposed oeoeseity for giving • very large supply of meat is based upon incor rect realm:deg, and in reality ie owing to the fact that the emboli which is found associated with the nitrogen in lean flesh is required from the too great reduction which hes been made in sugar, fat, and starch in other food. For the purpose in hand it is more consistent with sense and science to allow the usual variety of food, but to limit the total daily amount of it, so that the quantity of carbon shall be in defect of the daily wants, and the quantity of nitrogen remain as before. There is no necessity for the absolute excision of fat and sugar, and the extreme reduction in the quantity of bread any more than for the great increase in the quantity of meat, The bulk of the body may be reduced simply by lessening the amount of t►e kinds of food usually taken ; and as the reduction is more slowly effected, it is • process attended by lees danger to the health. It may sot he doubted that in proportion as the system is extensively adopted, and in • given case is' worked out rapidly, so will be the prevalence of heart- diseases, derangement of digestion, and gout, Seeds are Dow sown which will yield a plentiful harvest to medical man."
