Intelligence received here from Madrid up to noon on the sth inst. confirms the news that Ge neral Prim is at the head of the insurgents, who, to the number of 600, were marching towards Tar ranoon. The garrison of Avila, consisting of 300 men, revolted and marched upon Zamora, but the garrison of that place remained faithful to the government, and prevented them from entering the town. The Avila garrison then proceeded in the direction of Benevento. Madrid was perfectly tranquil. PAM, Jaw. 6. EvENING. Despatches received here from Madrid announce that martial law has been proclaimed in that city. The insurrection does not assume a more serious character. Prim has under him 600 insurgent.). General Pieersrd has been arrested at Valladolid and brought before a court martial. Marshal O'Donnell bas made an inspection of the barracks in Madrid, and was received with shouts of " Viva la Reins." The distribution of the opposition newspapers has been stopped in Madrid. The Minister of the Interior has an nounced the present state of thing& to the Cortes, at the same time stating his oonyietioc that order would be promptly re-established. The minister described the insurgents as factious, against which Senor Figuerola, a Progreeaiat member, protested, and reminded the minister that ambitious men now followed the example set them by other ambitious men in 1854. It is stated that Carlo. Worm) has been arrested at Badajoz. MADRID, JAn. 6, EVENC(O. The latest despatches received here state that tranquillity prevails throughout the kingdom. The government announces that Prim is in full retreat. He appears to be moving towards Anda lusia or the mountains of Toledo. General Zabala is iu pursuit, and another column under the Marquis Duero is msnceuvring to cut off the retreat of the insurgents. It is believed that the insurrection will be promptly suppressed. Yesterday evening the insurgents under Prim were at Tembleque. The insurgent garrison of Avila were at a short distance from the frontiers of Portugal, and were harassed by several columns of the royal troops. Marshal O'Donnell has stated in the Senate that the circumstances of the military revolt are serious. A vast conspiracy existed, having ramifications throughout Spain. Public order had, however, only been disturbed in Aranjuez, Deana, and Avila. He hoped that order would be re-esta blished, and the state of siege raised in Madrid within two days. Marshal O'Donnell added that the insurgents were endeavouring to enter Portugal. Espartero remains as usual at his residence at Logrono. _ _ Martial law has been proclaimed in New Castille. PARIS, JAN. 7. Intelligence received here from Madrid announces that the members of the diplomatic corps bad an interview with Marshal O'Donnell, on the 4th inst., on the subject of the insurrectionary movement in Spain. A letter published by the Temps states that the insurgents raised shouts of " Viva la Union Dierks ! " and that 10,000 workmen were ready to take up arms at Barcelona. FRANCE AND ENGLAND. PARIS, JAR. 7. The Emperor yesterday received Earl Cowley in private audience. Having been prevented by bad weather from being in Paris on Monday, the Ist inst., Earl Cowley solicited a special audience, in order to express to the Emperor the good wishes of his sovereign for the new year. The interest upon Treasury Bonds has been fixed at 3i, 4, and 41 per cent. respectively. ITALY AND SWITZERLAND. BERN E, JAN. 6.

FORRIGN EMIGRATION THROUGH LIVERPOOL.— From the statistics collected and just published by Mr. Samuel Stern, of Liverpool, it swears United the number of foreign emigrants to Australia aid the United States who pared through his office in 1885 was 8,151. The towns and countries whence they came are as follows :—Hamburg and Alton*, 2,76 3 ; Havre, 989 ; Antwerp, 1,016 ; Rotter dam, 964 ; Switzerland, 1,132 ; England, Ireland, and Scot land, 1,257.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ITALY. (rung oui OWN (nom on OWN FLORENCE, JLN. 3. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The impression that the revolutionary movement , in Spain is most serious gains ground in conse quence of the paucity and obscurity of official news ' from Madrid. The telegraphic despatches of the lwit two days furnished to the newspapers are etidently fabricated in Parte. It is well known that the telegraphic line is not working. The in surgents are said to be in possession of a great part of the railway. Escoda, an old republican of Catalonia, has joined Prim. Letters state that no less than three corps Warm& have been put in mo tion to suppress an insurrection which four days ago was officially represented to have been insig nificant from the beginning, and then upon its last legs. Saragossa was expected to pronounce. The garrison of Malaga was known to be disaffected. Numerous private letters confirm the statement that Prim is strong in Arragon and Andalusia. Barcelona will certainly rise if the movement goes on, as there is every prospect of its doing. The rumour runs that Burgos, on the Northern Railway line, has declared for the insurrection. The govern ment had plenty of indications of what was coming, and took the beet preventive measures they could. Nine colonels of regiments were changed only a fortnight ago. According to one statement, Gene rals Pierrard and Contreras have been arrested at Valladolid ; this evening's Moniteur merely says they were sent away from Madrid as being suspected. Orders have been sent to Badajos to arrest General Toire. It seems that the day before the insurrection a message was sent to General Prim's house, ordering him to come to the Ministry of War. The pleasant answer given by his servants was that he had gone shooting in the neighbourhood of Toledo. Colonel Ganuda is arrested. Commandant Bustos, who, 119 I mentioned yesterday, headed the pronuncia mento of the Aranjuez regiment, had only joined it by seniority eleven days ago. His loyalty had been long suspected. Bustos was on duty in Cuba in 1843, and then left the Spanish army for Mexico to offer his services to Santa Anna. With him he fought against Comonfort and Alvarez. He afterwards was restored to his rank in Spain. He took part in the progresaiat movement at Valencia The welcome tidings that General Ls Marmora has at last succeeded in constituting a cabinet are further conhnned this morning.. The chief point, however, the hinge of the difficulty, which as soon as it was conquered rendered all the rest compara tively easy, and which, until it was overcome, ren dered everything impossible, was the discovery of a finance minister willing to inherit a deficit of 600 millions. And this bold and patriotic individual having been found in Signor Scialoja, all the rest "goes upon wheels." How far they will continue to run remains to be seen. This morning, at about nine a.m., our late Finance Minister, Signer Sells, was attacked and hasten by a ruffian in the Piazza dell' Indipendenza. Signor Sella happily did not receive any severe injury. And my principal reason for mentioning the circumstance is that it miy possibly be sup posed tq have had some reference to Signor Sella's ministetial career, and to have partaken of the nature d a manifestation of the popular feeling. It is of seine Importance that it should be under , stood that this was in no degree the case. The aggressor was a common ruffian, and the outrage might just as well have happened to any other man. One incident of the matter, however, is worth men tioning for the sake of showing the efficiency of our police and the popular notions of the privileges of a deputy in Italy. There were near at hand a couple of policemen, who on seeing the attack ran up, and were on the point of arresting the fellow, when be pulled from his pocket a card bearing the name of "Molinari," and showing it to the officers declared that he was a Deputy of the Chamber. Whereupon they suffered him quietly to walk off. Of course he was no Deputy at all. But if he had been, conceive the notion that a Deputy is privileged to commit assaults in the public streets THE BOMBAY MAIL. fl last year. Narvaez is said to have offered his military services in the emergency to his rival O'Donnell. The Memorial d'Amiens publishes the text— with a slight suppression—of a letter which has been much talked of, written by the Emperor to M. Nothomb, the Belgian deputy, with the view, as it has been represented, of emphatically repudiat ing any idea of the annexation of Belgium to France. The passage omitted refers, the Amiens paper says, to an entirely private matter. It must be remembered that Napoleon 111. was a friend of M. Nothomb a quarter of a century ago. The letter as published is in these words : Monsieur, -I thank you for the sierra and eloquent words which you have pronounced in the Chamber of Re prosentativee. France and Belgium are sisters ; they speak the same language, have the same interests, and the rme history. I am convinced that Belgium will continue to develop herself, as she has been doing ever since 1830. NiPOLEON. Without putting " too fine a point upon it," I cannot help thinking that the above language will not strike thoughtful readers as so reassuring for the future of Belgium—so far as that future depends upon the designs of the Emperor—as it has been described to be. Lord Cowley, who as already mentioned, was prevented by tempestuous weather from crossing - - the Channel from Folkestone in time for the new year's receptions, bad at his own request a special audience of the Emperor yesterday, for the express purpose of offering his Majesty the Queen's compli ments and best new year's wishes. The cholera has travelled from Caen to Cher bourg ; but the cases are not numerous. The following paragraph in the Pays is an indi cation that the government has no thought of re voking its legislation in the direction of free trade ; We have very satisfactory information from our prig• cipal iron districts. Orders How in regularly, and all the factories are busy. The only complaint is that fuel is scarce. In the eastern group for instance, which comprises the Moselle, orders are so numerous that the ironotasters cannot keep up with them. We have similar reports from St. Dicier. la preemies of such a prosperous situation can the partisans of the old system of prohibition still dare to say that the commercial treaties with England and Belgium have ruined our metallic trade ? _ _ _ The public will not, as was hoped a few days ago, have the gratification of bearing a public lecture in the Salle Valentino from Madame George Sand. The following letter to Baron Taylor, containing her reasons for retracting a promise to lecture, has been made pnblic : You extracted a promise from me which I cannot keep. You and the eminent writers who seconded you were per. suasive, atiectiooste, indulgent, irresistible; but I presumed too much upon my powers from the wish to fulfil a duty. It would not be right to allure the public by holding out an attraction which I really feel incapable of justifying. Yon would regret having got together a large meeting to look at a timid and awkward person who would certainly break down. My children and friends all with ooe voice exclaim against the ides of my lecturing. They know that I have never been able to get over a feeling of timidity and abso lute want of self-confidence in public. Ask me, command me to do anything else, but not that. I trust you and the members of the committee who honoured me with a visit will believe that my only consolation for my incapacity acid my defection is the souvenir of their goodness. Nohant, Dec. 11 Crocus SAND. The next homeward West India mail packet will be the Tasmanian. She will be due next Sunday, and will bring news from Jamaica up to the 25th colt. FALMOUTH, SATURDAY.—The New York and Rene Company's steamship Fulton, from New York on the 23rd ult., arrived off here to-day with 20 passenger., 31i,520/. specie, 515 bales cotton, 159 packages general cargo. After remaining hove to off the port about an hour to land eight pamengerr, she pr oceeded on her voyage for Havre. THE CARRIAGE WORKS OF THE GREAT WRSTER3 RAILWAT.—A (tar all the speculations and misgivings as to the transfer of the above works from Paddington to Oxford any doubt as to the conclusion of the negotiations is now at an end. On Friday, Mr. Daymati (the legal represen tative of the company in Oxford) witnessed the signing of the deed of conveyance of Cripleymeadows between the company and the corporation, and all that now remains to be done is the making of an application by the company for additional powers to enable them to purchase a few acres of adjoining land. Against that application neither the University nor City authorities have signified any opposition, as the transfer arid a larger area will be mutually beneficial. The site of the works is now entirely submerged, together with the entire pasture district our. rounderiog it as a consequence of the recent heavy rain falls, and the w►ole area is rather suggestive of a site for navig►ble purposes than for any other, and an immense outlay must be made before it can be rendered eligibleeither es a manufacturing depot, or u a spot of ground upon which the residences of the company's employis can be erected with any regard to sanitary results. Nevertheless specu lator. in many parts of the city are proceeding rapidly with the erection upon good sites of dwelling. for the ope retires, and as far as the occupiers of small tenements are imocereed this is the more desirable inasmuch as the owners of existing houses her., in anthipaties of the treader at the works to Oxford, hare given notice to their re spective tenants of a rim in rent varying from 10 to 20 per ant. By the arrival of the above mail we have advice* from lombay to Dec. 13, and from Calcutta to Dec. 7. The Viceroy has now settled down at Calcutta. Lady Lawrence had fixed the let December for the holding of the levee and drawing-room, but it was postponed for a few days in consequence of the decease of a near relative of the Viceroy. With some sections of the Calcutta public the feeling of anger because of the treaty with Bhootan has been so violent., that a proposal was made for the non-official public to absent themselves from Lady Lawrence's drawfng-room. On' Tuesday, November the 28th, his Excel lency Sir Bartle Frere, K.C.8., held a grand durbar at Belgaum, for the reception of the Sirdars and chiefs of the Southern Maratha country. The following first class Sirdars were present on the occasion :—Abdool Rhyre Kban, Nawab of Savanoor ; Dhondeerao Tatia Saheb, chief of Sarglee ; Gunputrao Tatia Saheb, chief of Mee ruj ; Luxnmonrao Anna Saheb, of Meernj ; Rog hoonathrao Dada Saheb, chief of Koorundwar ; Ramehanderao Appa Saheb, chief of Jamhhundee ; Ramrao Rao Saheb, chief of Ramdoorg ; Gunpntrao Bapoo Saheb, Venayekrao Abba Saheb, and Trim buckrao Abba Saheb. _ . Th. first marriage of a native widow in the pre sidency of Bombay occurred on the 23rd of Novem ber at Bandora, near Bombay, and it is said to have been celebrated in presence of a goodly assembly of native gentlemen. The native who has thus boldly set the prejudice and traditions of his race at defiance is a pleader in the Judge's Court at Poona, to which city the object of his choice also belongs. The families of both are stated in a native journal to be "equally illustrious and in fluential in the capital of the Peishwas." The marriage has been followed up by a curious, but it is believed boos Me advertisement in the columns of the native organ already referred to. It is headed " Wanted persons willing to marry Hindoo Brahmin widows." Gentlemen who have a heartfelt desire to see the pray tics of re-marrying Hindoo Brahmin widows according to the tenets of Hindoo religion it.trodneed are requested to commuoicate to the office of the Indo Prakaalt the names of persons who are willing to contract such marriages. Noce but the name' of Chitpawno Brahmins of other than Shandilya sod Kuhyup Gotras (tribe) need at profilist be communicated, because the widows whose ages average between eight and nine years belong to the Chitpawno race. Persons desirous to contract such marriages ought to be between the age of sixteen and twenty years, and of good education. If not already well educated, they should at I least be prosecuting their studies. Persons of independent means will be preferred. but others with educatioa and good character will not be rejected. These marriages will be solemnised with due form and publicity. A FRIIND OF WIDOW mAinuAci. The Maharajah Jung Babadoor, who visited England fourteen years ago, intends paying a second visit very shortly. He will be accompanied by Lieut.-Colonel Richard Lawrence. Dr. Livingstone has been presented with 13,450r5. (0451.) by the Bombay branch of the Royal Asiatic Society in aid of his projected exploration of Africa. The cattle disease has appeared in the Madras Presidency. Upwards of 3,000 bead of horned cattle have died of the disease, which is now raging in Burmah, and in one or two districte it has affected the inhabitants. Veterinary-surgeon T. Gudgeon, of the Queen's Bays, has volunteered to go to Burmah I to investigate the malady. An awful tragedy has taken place at Cannanore.

THE SECRETARYSHIP OP THE A DIIIRALTY. —A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian has revived a rnmonr of the appointment of Mr. Stausfeld, M.P. for Halifax, to the Secretaryship of the Admiralty, end alleged that the appointment is to be immediate, instead of waiting for the estimates to be moved by Lewd Clarence Paget.

ABANDONMENT OF THIS PROPOSED KILBURN RAILWAY.—One of the new projects for which notices of • bill in parliament in the Ginning session have been given wee the construction of a branch line connecting with the Me tropolitan Railway at or near Baker-street station, proceed ing for nearly a mile is a northerly direction by the side of the authorised Metropolitan and St. John's-wood Railway, and then diverging north westerly, forming • junction with the London and North Western, near its Kilburn station. It appears, as we are informed upon good authority, that in face of the formidable opposition, not only from the local authorities and inhabitants, but oe the part of the Metropolitan, sod more especially from th e St John's-wood and Hampstead Junc tio n Company, that its promoters have felt the utter impracti cability of their being likely to induce parliament to sanc tion their scheme J ; and that they have, therefor*, without incurring an further expense, very wisely abandoned it. As the St. John's-wood Company now contemplate that which we have so frequently urged—the necessity of carry ing out a double instead of • single line—it was scar cel y likely that they would tolerate the attempt to introduce that which, to a very great extent, could only be looked upon as • competing line, with impunity. Moreover, it is said to be ultimately • part of their own plan, by means of • short line diverging at a point near the St John's-wood. road westerl7 toward, the Edgware-read, to afford the rapidly growing district of Kilburn direct railway oommuni catioo with the Metropolitan line.—Observer.

The trial of Charles J. Kackh . am was concluded on Saturday. The prisoner addressed the jury in a clever and temperate speech, the gentlemanly and respectful tone of which was favourably com mented on by Judge Keogh in his charge. The jury, after twenty minutes absence, found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner said he had endea voured to serve Ireland, and that he was now pre pared to suffer fur Ireland. Judge Keogh sen tenced him to fourteen years' penal servitude. Biokhain was the third prisoner named as a mem ber of the executive committee of the republic in the absence of Stephens. The others, Luby and O'Leary, were sentenced to twenty years. A MYSTERY SOLVED.-THE SUPPOSED PIRING AT A RAILWAY DRIVER IN IRELAND. A correspondent of the Dublin Express writes : " On the return to Mulliogar, on the following morning (Wednesday), of the driver, W. Wal, who wee reported to bays been fired at, he was brought before Capt. Talbot, ff. M. , Comity Inspector Jackson,&c., and having minutely described the spot where the outrage was said to have been committed, those gentlemen and some of coestabulary accompanied him to the plasm, arid there found that Waited of • shot having been fired at the engine, it bed simply Mae aQ P . 4 tact with one of the telegraph poles, which hadbiiii Caddie; tally blown so tuberose the rails that 'hosed of it lay directly in the line of the engine, and the communion of the two bodies led the driver to the inference that a shot bad been fired at him. This fact wee proved to a demonstration by the fractured portion of the tel ph pole being found on the line, and the ing mark of the point, and not of a ball, on the hood of the eagles. The driver ( Wall) at owe acknowledged his mistake, and accepted the state of things as thus proved. Owing to the belief that a shot had been fired, coati derable anxiety wee felt for the safety of his excel lency Lord Wodehonse, who was to return from Carrick on-Shariaon yesterday (Wader:lay), and guards of the renstabolary were in attendance at the different stations; but, on the arrival of hie excellency at the Mullin gar Junction, County Inspector Jackson was hoooured with admiesion to the state carrier, and then and there gave his excellency the above particulars, at which he laughed most heartily." THE BATLEY DOUBLE MURDER. Eli Sykes, who was condemned to death for mur dering his sweetheart and her mother at Batley, and who subsequently attempted to commit suicide, et Armley gaol, Leeds, by throwing himself over the second gallery on to the stone area beneath, has succumbed to his self inflicted injaries. In his fall he slighted upon his feet, and his left foot was so seriously shattered that it was found necessary to remove five small bones from it. Excessive hemorrhage set in on two occasions, and the medical men contemplated amputation of the foot, but abandoned it in caasequence of the convict's exhaustion. At the same time. It was considered that if a third return of hemorrhage should occur, Sykes could not possibly survive. About six o'clock on Saturday after. noon this crisis occurred ; but es the surgeon to the gaol, Mr. W. N. Prim, was then present, the Sow of blood was immediately, though only temporarily, checked. Sykes then appeared to rally, and though at times he was some what violent in the language he used towards the warders in attendance upon him, at other periods he °ravened freely about the treatment be received is the Dewsbury lock-up and the Wakefield gaol. The last change came about half-put 9 o'clock, and though the convict appeared to be suffering severely, his consciousness was retained until within a few minutes of his death. He was attended in his dying momenta by the chaplain, the Rev. C. H. Middleton, and the governor. Mr. C. A. Kees*. The Leeds Mercury says :—" On one delicate question connected with his trial a few words only will be necessary. Few who were present in court when sentence of death was so impressively passed on the prisoner by Mr. Justice Shee, will ever forget the painful scene by which it was prefaced. With tears rolling down his cheeks and almost choking his utterance, the prisoner threw himself on his knees, and besought forgiveness from Heaven for the crime he bad com mitted. It is to be regretted that his subsequent eonduet has led many who were interested in him to doubt the sin cerity of the words he then tattered. The callousness and indifference be has lately exhibited to the ministrations of religion must have been very p sinful to the chaplain of the gaol, Mr. Middleton, sod to ail whose duty it was to take charge of him. We believe, however, that within a short time of his death be uttered expressions which gave greater hope as to his state of mind—listening attentively to the chaplain, and joining with him in prayer." THE STORM. MARGATE, SUNDAY NIGHT. Mr. R. F. Aldrich, chief officer of coastguard, reports that a large brig was seen beating up Margate Roads this morning during a strong gale from S.W., and while doing so she missed stays and got on the south side of Margate Sands. The small lifeboat belonging to the Margate boatmen was at once launched by them, and pro ceeded under sail to the brig, but on the way the boat cap sized, and would not right. The 13 men who formed the crew fortunately managed to hold the boat until they were rescued by a steam tug. The boat has since been brought in by a lugger. When it was found that the small lifeboat had failed to reach the brig the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution pat off to her, but on arriving along side it was found her services were not required, as a tug managed to tow her off and take her into Ramsgate Har bour. SKERRUS, DUBLIN BAY, JAIL 3. A barque has been anchored about 10 mile. off this piece for the past four days. During a heavy gale of wind from the S. this morning the ship was observed to hoist a flag of distress. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was immediately launzlied, and proceeded to the vessel in a very heavy sea, the drogue or drag bag being made use of frequently during the passage. On arriving at the vessel she was found to have lost her windlass and bite, sod had her chain fast round the foremast and foreyard. The cap tain bad altered his mind by this time, and resolved to ride oat the gale, although tome of the crew wished to come ashore. The lifeboat, however, brought o ff a passenger. The ship was as American one named the Lyman, bound to Dublin with timber. The lifeboat behaved very well while engaged in this service. A meeting of old pupils and friends of the Rev.

An eyewitness said he thought be must either have been istoxicated or in deep thought at the time. The coroner said that all blame to the driver of the cab was disproved by the evideoce, and he thought it was one of those ease' in which men, whose occupation like that of deceased led them into abstracted thought, bad met with an accident.

The following letter ban been addressed by the Chutellor of the Exchequer to Sir T. D. Lloyd : " Howard's, Chester, Dec. 26, 1865. "DearSir,—The reuses which first over themselves to my mind aphist any undertaking by government to treat the insurance of cattle u a State concern, and to support it by a guarantee from the Exchequer, ere of the following 1 character : " 1. The difficulty, and not the difficulty only, but the impossibility, of preventing carelessness, wsete, end fraud 0111Very . kiliCi,_froia the Bret momeet it Should biome Miamithat the ultimate reeposeibility (beyond a fixed limit, which would M once be found a very, very narrow one) ley with the public pun*. _ _ _ "2. The fact that in a number of sues particular die triete and landlords have already made their own arrsrge• meets, which must have been acted upon. Were govern ment to move into the field, lbws good examples would be neutralised, - - and those who have met their owl losses would be called as taxpayers to uaist is meeting the louse of other people too. "3. if it sbali appear, as is probable, that it is to pre. veotioo rather than cure or cotopoosatioa that wo mad chiefly look, under Providence, for the mitigation of the calamity, nothing could be so unfortunate ea a mescals like a state guarantee, which, by 'relaxing vigilance and the men off a subject obviously of the greatest moment, aad, as clearly, not yet sounded to the bottom. Thia objection does not apply to plans of a voluntary nature, where every roan would be checked by his neighbours, and each scheme would have its proper adjustments. "4. If the cattle plague should not extend itself on a large scale, and so the losses of a severe character shouli be confined to a small fraction of the farming class, there *reins an obvious impropriety in relieving landlords, neigh bours, and rateable property from the duty of assisting, so far ea assistance is necessary, those on whom the blow ham fallen. And the precedent would be an evil one. "5. But if, on the other baud, the disease should extend very widely, the result must inevitably be felt in a much s aggr ba ?s ul t b y : y e lna r s e Al takin tu te ted hinual amount etn p p g h ri r 00met tce h h ae e ty o iof f whr 7 a ue tr ilw e o yd t.y o e breo a ll y yn T h. int f y o os r e er u cc. lad t smitten ffer greatly iiiendwa their diminished soothlji4 larger ga m n • is com pr m mi on uce w rs it'h while the oommunity at large. How, then, could the community be asked to pay twice, first for their meet in extra price, sod, secondly, for the cattle lost; while landlords and cultiva- tors of the soil would probably, as a class, have their loss (as in a bad corn year) countervailed by a corresponding or greaten. benefit? " I have thus slated freely what occurs to me, and per haps, in prudence, here I ought to and, as my particular official duty ends with considering the merits of any call made on the Exchequer. Bat the nature of the appeal you make to we induces me to go somewhat further, and to state opinions which I hold with due submission to better I judgments, and with all readiness to be corrected by events changing almost from day to day. " The severity wilt which this calamity falls in particular cases is grievous. It may be met, in part at least, by associations for insurance, which will diminish the difficulty arising from uncertainty—first, by only dealtng with a proportion of the loss--secondly, by widening their local area. Then there is a epeeist claim, though one varying with circumstances, upon the landlord for help. Then there is the resource, should the evil greatly grow. of public subscription, in which 1 hope we should find claws that have received benefit in other great visaettons willing to return it. There is, lastly, the resource ofof' some legal charge upon rateable property of the description liable to . suffer. But the particular application of these considers. Hoes must depend upon circumstances in great part as yet undeveloped. " In the meantime I believe the first of all duties is to study in every way the subject of prevention. The public mind is now in a state to endure aminees of restraint in larger measure than before the tact of serious and pro grammes increase was established. And the powers in the heads of local authorities are, I believe, as large as actual circumstances justify or as general opinion would sustain. "So much for prevention by restraint upon traffic in besets. But there are other measures of prevention, to be taken by each man for himself, which are of great zoo , meet, but which (as far as my information goes) would ap pear to have been likewise less, or less intelligently con sidered. I hear from time to time of suss in which substances are introduced into yards and sheds and oowhouses for prevention, with no aim more distinct than that of creating a strong smell ; whereas the two main objects to be taken into view I conceive must be these : to neutralise the poison, espe cially by the removal of all substances on which it would most easily lay hold ; sod to improve the air by substance* which increase the life-sustaining element in it, and thus raising the tone of health so as to remove or diminish that predisposition in the animals on which so much depends, and which appears is cases of this description to be what is rudely called a low state or tone of body. " I shall not attempt to enter upon questions of chemistry with which I am unacquainted ; and I assume that the best which may man can do at the present moment is to state any facts within his knowledge which give a pre sumption of being possibly useful ; certainty appearing for the present out of the question. At this plaint one medical man—a scientific, able, and cautious inquirer—has tents. Lively advised several of our farmers to adopt simple mea sures of precaution. which I may in a rough way (without Dim authority) describe as follows :-1. To remove from the oowbouses all substances probably affording • remedy lodg ment to the poison • 2. To restore god invigorate the at mosphere by phosphorus ; 3. To keep the stock within walls, as no agency of the kind mentioned can he effective in the open air. The disease has now bees in this neighbour hood for weeks. It came into the parish, I think, about a week ago. It has partially surrounded farms where these measures have been adopted, and thus few they remain unscathed. We must not presume to answer for to-morrow ; but I have not yet happened to hes: of any facts so well worth attention. I may add that the cir cumstances of its appearsece here seem to suggest that the disease passes by a diffused movement in the atmosphere, and not only, though in all likelihood much more virulently, by contagion. Likewise that there are various points of de tail which, if stated, would go strongly to support what I have said of the preventive measures. One word more of the measures themselves. At any moment the disease msy appear on the exempted farms. But the evidence of their failure would certainly not approach completeness until it were known what proportion of the stock were seized. and what proportion of the seized had recovered. The return for the week ending December 16 gives us the following figures : Oases. Died. Recovered. County of Chester 1.421 ... 634 ... 48 All Scotland Thus, in Cheshire, the deaths are 374 per cent. of themes ; in Scotland, 22 per cent. ; end in Cheshire the recoveries are Si per coot. of the deaths ; in Scotland, 34 per cent.

CULTIVATION OF FLAX IN SHETLAND.—A corre spondent of the North British Mail writes :—" Vigorous preparations are being made by the Agricultural Society for the next year's operations. One new feature in these operations is an attempt to induce the farmers of the country to grow flax. It is said that two instances of flax culture occurred last season in Shetlsod, although we cannot sacertain that even ooe occurred. We do know, however, that the year before a small quantity of flax was grown by Mr. J. A. Johnston, at the Bridgeof-Walls, in one of the most inhospitable patches of ground in all Shet land ; and although it was the first time that ever a spade was in the ground, the result was quite conclusive as to the practicability of rearing that valuable crop in Shetland." FATAL ACCIDENT IN CONNEXION WITH A RAILWAY TUNNEL—Mr. Curry, the coroner of Liverpool, held a partial investigation oa Saturday into the fatal accident which occurred on Thursday. An arch stove some storage cellars connected with the Wapping tunnel of the Loudon and North Wasters Cospaly, at Perk.lane, gave way when • carter (Henry Preston) was passing over it with a load of bricks and caused Prestos's death. The body of the poor fellow was dug out of the &Geis two boars afterwards. From the evidenes adduced cm Saturday it appeared that on as examination being made of the ruins it was fated that a interior flaw existed in one of the iron girders which supported the brickwork over the cellars. The engineer to the ooritractors stated that when the &len were erected they were tooted with • hammer, but so unsoundness was app.:wet. They were not. however, bested with weights or by bydssedia power. The inquiry woe adjourned until Tuesday. V I l l' ii i t , • • ' t 4 ' $ i ll • H 1,0 AtiJlJ MIIDIE'S SELECT LIBRARY.
