The ste am e rs A us t ra l as i an an d Kangaroo have brought a total of -c258,000 from New York, which, in the absence of any inquiry for the Continent, is expected to be taken to the Bank. The bar silver by the steamer Tasmanian, from the West Indies, was sold to-day for India at s s. lid. per ounce, showing no change. The Mexi can dollars have not yet been disposed of. The stoppage was announced to-day of the old and highly-respectable firm of Messrs.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. During the last few days there has not been much activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, most of the principal staples having re mained at about previous values. Sugars sold slowly, while full rates were demanded for coffee. Tea, rice, and fruit have been in very limited re quest ; public sales of the former being announced for the 9th inst. The tallow market has continued dull, P.Y.C., on the spot, being quoted 475. 6d.; last three months', 478. 6d. to 475. 9d.; and spring delivery, 48s. to 48s. 9d. per cwt. The monthly liquidation of commercial accounts having now been completed, the demand for money is quieter ; and, as bankers and others have large available supplies at their command, competition again enables the mercantile community to obtain accommodation on somewhat easier terms. No difficulty, for example, is now experienced in nego tiating first-class bills at 11: per cent., and the result is that the principal portion of the current business is transacted in the general market, the applications at the Bank of England being NOW comparatively limited. Two O'CLOCK. The half-yearly meeting of the Recife and San Francisco Pernambuco Railway Company took place to-day, Mr. Robert Benson in the chair. Th e report, which was unanimously adopted, in timated that the statement of the committee charged with the examination of the report of the English and Brazilian commissioners had not yet been received. The traffic receipts for the half-year glowed an increase over the corres ponding period of 1861, which was regarded as satisfactory. The market for the English Funds is exceedingly quiet, and the few transactions have taken place at the fractional decline reported yesterday after noon, Consols being 931 for transfer, and 93i 94 for the 6th proximo.

Mr. Dunn, ryden, at the Wheatsheaf aswella the Government in spector of mines, was present, had been sworn, the colliery owners and officials. When the jur y the coroner remarked that thEre were five men killed, but n up d pto this time only one body had been found. He had o same cause, Would be shown that all the men had b een killed by t he cause, and therefore one inquiry would answer for all. Alter the jury had viewed the body, they proceeded to the yard below the inn, to view the iron chains by which the cradle was hung. It will be remembered that the cause of the accident was the breaking of the chain to which the Cradle for conveying the men up and down th e pit was at tached, and the consequent precipitation of the cradle and all in it down the shaft. One chain was pointed out which, it was said, had stretched 14 inches. A juror remarked that the chain might be good in quality and w orkm anship, but it s eeme d too small. The master-smith remarked that it had been made smaller by being stretched out, and said it co uld not h ave s t retche d t h at way if the quality or work manship; had been i n f er i or. Aft er a lengthened inquiry the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

This day, in accordance with the arrangements arrived at last evening at the Guildhall Coffee-house, a number of gentlemen who have taken a prominent part in getting np the proposed demonstration, proceeded to the Mansion Houre for the purpose of soliciting the Lord Mayor (Alder man Cubitt), as Chief Magistrate of the City of London, to preside as chairman of the meeting which, with his lord ship's approbation, was to be held on the 14th in the Guild hall. Previously, however, to the members seeing the Lord Mayor, Mr. Richardson informed them that since he had seen them last he had received a communication from the Lord Mayor, stating that, as the amnesty proclaimed in Italy had altered the aspect of affairs, he did not see the least use that could arise from the holding of the proposed meeting, and that the use of the Guildhall would not be re quired. The communication led to some discussion, but it was proposed to see his lordship, with a view of endeavour ing to alter his opinions on the matter. Mr. Parry and other gentlemen urged upon his lordship that the amnesty which had been granted to General Garibaldi and his fol lowers did not render the meeting unnecessary, because, although upon that part of the subject there might be some necessity for a change in their arrangements and resolu tions, yet the other object, to protest against the French occupation of Rome, remained precisely the same. The LORD MAYOR said his views on the proposed meet ing remained the same as when he addressed the letter that had been referred to by Mr. Richardson. He did not think the second object of the meeting was within the pro vince of the requisition; at all events, he felt it would not be judicious in him, occupying the office ho did, to preside over a meeting as was proposed. His lordship said he must also reconsider the request that had been made to him for the use of the Guildhall, and he would in a day or two in form the deputation whether the use of the building could be granted to them or not. The deputation then withdrew. Share; Railways. , , Bir., Wol., and Str. Vai Blythe and Tyne.

Jean Fauvre, a Frenchman, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a gold bracelet, two pairs of sleeve links, and several small articles of wearing apparel from a foreign hotel in Bloomsbury -square. From the evidence it appeared that shortly after the pri soner took up his residence in the place a number of articles of small value were continually being missed, but, on the bracelet and other gold articles being lost, suspicion fell on the prisoner, and he was accordingly taken into custody by Sergt. Lambert, of the E division of police. On arriving at the station-house the prisoner was searched, and under neath the lining of his hat the bracelet was discovered, and in a box which also belonged to him other portions of the missing property was found. Sergt. Lambert said he had flat had time to discover the other portions of the stolen articles, but he had no doubt he should be enabled to do so if a remand was granted. The magistrate ordered the prisoner to be remanded until this day week. WESTMINSTER. SERIOUS OBSTRUCTIONS AT RAILWAYS.—Wm. NOM, a cab driver, was charged with unlawfully obstructing In spector Wingrave, of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, in the execution of his duty. Inspector Wingrave said—At a quarter-past seven last night, on the arrival of the train from Paris, the defendant with his horse and cab forced himself through a narrow gateway close up to the platform. He told him he must go away, but he refused to do so, and caused such an obstruc tion that several gentlemen's carriages were unable to pass out. Witness ordered him to quit the company's premises, and that he was liable to a penalty of £5 for neglecting to do so, but he pretended not to hear and would not move away, upon which witness called a police-constable and gave him into custody. In answer to questions from Mr. Paynter, witness said the defendant, by the regulations of the company, had no business e here he was. He brought his cab right up to the platform and caused a very serious obstruction. Witness ordered him out when he was driving in, but he would not listen to him, whipped his horse and nearly run him over, and hurt his hand. Witness endeavoured to remove him, and it was in doing so that his hand was hurt. Defendant declared that the inspector told him he might go in, and then ordered him out. The inspector said this could not be, as it was part of his duty to prevent cabmen going where defendant did. They had had numerous cases of this sort lately, and several per sons had very narrowly escaped being run over through the misconduct of cabmen. He ordered him out over and over again, and he quite blocked up the traffic. Mr. Payntersaid it was a very serious thing to interfere with the traffic at a railway in this manner, and defendant was liable to a penalty V. It was a disgraceful thing for a cabman to go where he had no business and obstruct the traffic and resist an inspector in this manner. He should fine the defendant 40s. or send him for one month's im prisonment, and he hoped this would stop these proceed ings. If defendant were brought here again he would take his license away. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINING GOODS BY FRAUD.-A man, who at the station refused his name and address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to obtain two guns from Messrs. Moore and Gray, gunmakers, of 43, Old Bond street, by false and fraudulent pretences. Mr. Fredk. Gray, of the firm of Moore and Gray, said he received a letter by post yesterday, to send a pair of guns to the Duke of Sutherland, to Dunrobin Castle, Scotland. The guns were sent to Stafford House, and an officer com municated with, in consequence of the post mark being of the South London district, while the letter was dated from Scotland. The porter took the guns, and left them at Stat. ford House. Charles Butcher, 137 0, said that about six the previous evening, he went to the Duke of Sutherland's house, and after waiting an hour and a half the prisoner drove up he a cab to the house, and rang the bell, and was admitted by the porter. The prisoner had at the time a piece of paper in his hand, and remained in the house about five minutes, and then came out, when he (Butcher) asked him who sent him for the guns, and he said he was a clerk at the Euston square station, and that he was sent with a telegram (pro duced) to hava the guns delivered to him by the porter. He then asked the prisoner whero ho intended to have taken the guns if he had succeeded in getting them, and he re plied, "to a Man waiting at a public-house on the right hand side of the Euston-square station. I hope there is nothing wrong in my coming to fetch them. I am certainly not a clerk at the railway-station, as I told you before that I was." lie also said that he was to have £2 for fetching th e guns , and that the man said that he was to say he was a clerk at the rail way station or the porter would not let him have the guns. He then put the prisoner into the cab and went to Easton square, but on their arriving there prisoner said he could not see the man. He then took the prisoner to the Vine street station. He had another case against the prisoner for obtaining a gun from the Marquis of Lansdowne's house. Prisoner had nothing to say, and was remanded. The prisoner was then charged with obtaining a gun from the Marquis of Lansdowne's. Mr. Stephen Grant, 73, St. James's-street, gunmaker, said he received on Sept. 4 a letter, purporting to be signed by the Earl of Shelburne, and directing that a gun should be sent to Berkeley-square. The letter was posted in Lou don. He sent the gun the same day by a porter. The value of the gun was £52, with 500 cartridges. Edward Toomey, porter to Mr. Brown, proved taking the gun to Lansdowne House about three waeks ago, and leav ing it with the porter. Alexander Leigh, porter to the Marquis of Lansdowne, said that on the 4th of September last the witness brought a gun and left it with him at the gate. He (prisoner) was waiting for it, and said he was sent by Mr. Stephenson, one of the officials of the Great Western Railway—Lord Shelburne being the chairman—for the gun. He asked the prisoner if he was in the service of the Great Western Railway Company, and he said he was, and had been three years. On that representation he gave the prisoner the gun, and he took it away in a cab. The prisoner was committed on this charge. —.SSAULT O T N H A AM W ES om . SAVAGE A youth about 19 years of age, AN George May, a was A brough — t before Mr. Wool rych, charged with assaulting woman, the wife of a mechanic na nn d ßenjamin, a young left named e tha vra H s swollen and Joseph Benjamin. The complainant, whose along blackened, said she was passing o a r la s h eferry-road, Ratcliffe, in company with Mr. Thomas g W street, Shadwell, and his wife, when the prisoner' efHigh street, Shadwell, man accosted them, and the prisoner's companion threw a lump of bread in Mrs. Welsh's face, and used very bad language. Mr. Welsh resisted this insult, and caught hold of the fellow, but no policeman being handy tha ruf fian was allowed to depart. At 12 o'clock she was returning home with Mr. and Mrs. Welsh, when the prisoner met them and whistled. They were immediately surrounded by nine or ten men, and believing their intentions were hostile, a call was made for the police, on which he struck her a violent blow on the nose and knocked her down. The black eye was the consequence of that blow. Mr. Thomas Welsh, 218, High-street, Shoreditch, con firmed the statement of Mrs. Benjamin. The prisoner said he was not the man who struck the blow. Mr. Woolrych—l have no doubt you struck this woman. You are fined 155., and in default of payment seven days' imprisonment in the House of Correction. RIOT ON HOLBORN-lIILL.—Last night a large number of Irish labourers, who usually assemble against the hoarding between Field-lane and Victoria-street, got up a discussion upon the respective merits of Garibaldi and the Pope, upon which a fight took place between two of the opposing parties. The police endeavoured to make peace, but were shamefully assaulted by the adherents of the Pope. In self-defence tho officers were obliged to draw their truncheons and sent for a reinforcement. In the in terim the rioters were joined by levies of young and old from Saffron •hill, and affairs be g an to as sume a serious aspect, the po lice being greatly outnumbered by th e i r opponents who used their utmost efforts to crush the police, who; however, were assisted by some of the bystanders until:a fresh body of police arr ived, whi ch soon turn e d th e t a bl es, and the police succeede d in ca p t uring two of the ring leaders, but not without severe fighting and several of the Irish sustaining severe injuries. A Paiis letter, in the Journal du Havre, says :-- " The friends of M. Thiers formally contradict the intention attributed to him of writing either a history of the Restora tion or of the reign of Lou is Philippe Thiers, they . say, entered in April last on his 66th year, and his histories of the French Revolution, and of the Consulate and the Empire, are sufficient for his oareer as a writer. All that may be expected from him henceforth will be the publica tion in volumes of his speeches from the tribune, and some pamphlets (In the Beaux-Arts, to which 1, e 4 ROW devotes himself more than eyeri' SOCIAL SCIENCE versus SOCIALISM. But the value of the Social Science Convention is not set up for kings alone to recognise ; it reaches to peoples. It is an inevitable law that man shall not only think, but think also for himself. As a man he may be rude, uneducated, ignorant; but still he will think, and thinking, he will on impulse act. Put before him no better guidance than the teachings of a fanatic or trickster, and if the fanatic or trick ster, rather more powerful than his fellows, will lead the way to new action the man will follow. He may hate hisleader, understand his weakness or his wickedness, but he will fol low, because, and for no other reason, there is no one else to lead. Men, and communities of men, have thus a thousand times followed headstrong, mischievous, and daring guides; followed them to ruin and to death ; have done so, and would do so again and again. In this manner old socialism worked its wonderful, its mad, its unscrupulous way, and would work its way still, if it were left alone to be the guide and the suggesting demon. To meet the influence of evil teachings, to prevent the impulsive blind from leading the willing, listening blind, it required that some who can see should take the lead in guidance, and satisfy the wants of the masses, not by con ducting them on in blindness, but by giving them sight to direct their own feet in the paths of knowledge. And this is the course which your modern social reformer has aimed to take. He has tried to substitute social science for socialism, to turn the social mystery into knowledge; as the modern chemist has transformed old alchemy into a series of magnificent and demonstrable laws into a fixed science. If for no other cause than this, social science, as an or ganised system, is a great development of modern life. It may have its weaknesses, it may have its imperfect parts, but the first of these will die with its growth, the second will disappear with its increasing power. As it is, with all its imperfections, it is a science which invites every person to its contemplation, which provides the opportunity for every man to express his honest opinions legitimately, and in such a way that he must be universally heard, and which counteracts anarchy by giving full scope to the ex pressions of liberty.—Social Science Review. VICTOB HUOO ON COMPULSORY BDUCATION. " It is what we might call the mother question, gratuitous and compulsory education. Such a subject is in itself a re commendation to the attention of the Congress. This question resolved, one good law made from your initiative, the example given to other nations, will indeed be an admi rable result. " There is nothing so pressingly urgent (for discussion) as gratuitous and compulsory education. " The present lies heavily, but passes away; let us turn our eyes to the great marrow which awaits civilisation; let us prepare it. The child here is the grand question. The child holds in his cradle the peace or the war of the future. It is from this very cradle that the clouds of darkness must be driven. Let us make light dawn upon the soul of in fancy. Twenty-five years of gratuitous and compulsory teaching will change the appearance of the world. " The child, I repeat it, is the future. This soil is pro ductive ; it yields more than the ear to the grain of wheat. Drop but a spark upon it, it will repay you with a sheaf of knowledge. "In order to form a citizen let us begin by forming a man. Let us open schools everywhere. He who has not within him the enlightenment that instruction gives, is not a man; he is only the head of a numer ous h er d w hi c h suffers itself to act, and which the master leads now to pasture, now to the slaughter-house. In the human being, that which resists servitude, is not matter, it is inteligence. Liberty begins where ignorance ends."—Social Science Review. MARKETS-THIS DAY. HAY MARKETS.

WHITE LION GROUNDS, HACKNEY-WICK. TEN MILE MATCH FOR FIFTY SOVEREIGNS, BETWEEN WILLIAM RICHARDS, THE WELSHMAN, AND JACKSON, THE AMERICAN DEER.—Monday afternoon having been appointed for the decision of this interesting match, a large concourse of spectators assembled in Mr. J. C. Baum's popular enclosure to witness the race. Richards is known as having been for some time past under the tutelage of W. Price, and has proved his stamina in several contests. The prestige attached to the name of the American Deer has been great, both in the United Kingdom and America, for a long number of years, and his performances have been unques tionably first class. Indeed, few old pedestrians can boast of having surpassed him in speed and endurance. Both men seemed as fit as training could make them. Richards, coming from the home stable, was waited upon by Sam Barker. There was no betting. The signal having been given, the men bounded away in good style, Jackson having a slight lead, and was a yard or rather better when he covered the first mile, in 5 min. 4 sec. The Deer was still in the van when the time, 10 rain. 27 sec., was noticed the end of the next mile. In the 17th lap, Richards put on a spurt, and speedily passed his adversary. At the termi nation of the third mile (15 min. 51 sec.), the Welshman was 30 yards a-head. When the fourth mile had been tra versed (21 min. 22 sec.), Richards had pretty nearly halt lapped his mau. Both were struggling gallantly, although it was evident at this early stage of the proceedings that the veteran was compounding gradually to his more youthful opponent, despite the resolute perseverance for which he is celebrated. Five miles were accomplished in 26 min. 58 sec. It would be wasting space to give more details. Richards over-lapped his gallant competitor in the 60th lap. Six miles were done in 32 min. 31 seo., seven in 38 min. 20 sec., eight in 44 min. 4 sec., nine were covered in 49 min. 46 sec,, and the winner careered over the specified dis tance (68 laps for the 10 miles) in 55 min. 40 sec., at this time Jackson being one lap and 20 yards, or 260 yards in all, in the rear. Richards was thus hailed as a deserving winner, and it is a feather in his cap to have defeated the once-celebrated Norwich-born American Deer. RE-ASSEMBLING OF ME7ROPOLI74.N VOLUNTEERS, Saturday was, generally speaking, the day appointed , for the re-assembling of Metropolitan Volunteers after the I holidays, but in most instances the musters were meagre, ' and the example set by the officers was anything but calcu lated to have a good impressie, n upon the men. In one or t wo instances there was not, a single captain of company on the commanding officer's parade, although the colonels were present, and the occasion for assembling was that which volunteers usually so much appreciate —a march out with their bands. This is a state of things much to be deplored, and it is quite obvious that the men cannot be expected to attend, or be found fault with if they do not attend, in the face of such examples from the officers. There is only one remedy, and that is, that where the commanding officers are themselves attentive to the duties devolving upon them, they should insist upon attendance on the part of their captains and subalterns, and where it is not complied with at once, call upon the absentees to resign their commissions. Unless this is done, and officers are compelled to pay some little attention to the duties they promised to perform in the papers they filled up and signed before they were en trusted with a commission, the men will become daily more and more careless, until, in the end, the movement will melt away, and become gradually a thing of the past. Whilst the musters on Saturday in some of the corps, for a march out, were ridiculously small, in one instance, and it is not the first one, in the case of a well known and popular volunteer corps, the muster was of that limited character that the commanding officer was ashamed to march out with them, and after waiting more than an hour beyond the appointed time for the parade, the men who had assem bled together with their bands were dismissed. In some cases the excuse was that the hour appointed for the parade was too early, and, no doubt, in several instances that does act materially on the musters. Many of our metropolitan volunteer regiments are composed in the main of the work ing class, and where that is the case it is impossible that men can be expected to leave their employ on a Saturday afternoon at two or three o'clock, which they must do to be on parade, possibly a mile or two distant, at half ost four. Hence the absurdity of a corps recruiting at great distances, as some of the metropolitan corps are doing, from the district in which it is established, and where the mass of its members do or ought to reside. All these matters weigh greatly in relation to the question of getting good musters for battalion drills and marches out, and it would not be a bad thing if the suggestion could be carried out, that there should be (of course with the con sent of the v o l un t eers themselves) a sort of exchange into regiments established in the respective localities where men reside, and wh ere th ey could attend drill on all occa si ons with much mo re conven i ence to themselves than thayPos. seas at present. Th e result would be far better mus t er s than amongst the are at pr esen t obtained.

THE HAVELOCK RIFLES __The Havelock Rifles assem bled at a late hour on Saturday night, in the quadrangle of Somerset-house, by permission of the authorities, for batta lion drill, under Capt. and Adjutant Le Stiange, and there was a fair muster. Patrick Cain , who has confessed that he was the person who threw the poker at the late Mr. H. Raweliffe, of Kirkham, was yesterday committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter. Several German journals had announced that Hanover had formally rejected the Franco-Prussian treaty of commerce, after having first accepted it in principle, making its adhesion, however, subordinate to a unanimous accord of the States of the Zollverein. The Hanover Gazette denies the truth of that assertion, and declares that the Government of King George, in the new note which it has transmitted on the subject to the Berlin Cabinet, confines I tself to maintaining its former opinion.

I The sales of cotton for the week, as made up on Thursday evening, amount to 26,890 bales, of which speculators have taken 14,310, exporters 6,680, and spinners 5,200 bales. The market throughout has shown an improving tendency, with, however, only moderate transactions. American descriptions have advanced about 11d. per lb. on the quotations of last week. Other kinds of cotton display much steadiness, but of Surat, the week's import of which has been enormous, some irregular sales from the quay have been made. The improved feeling no ticeable in the market is in a great degree attribut able to the tenour of the late advices from America, confirming the retreat of the Confederate forces from the Northern territory, and holding out no prospect of an early termination of that unhappy struggle. The tenour of telegrams from Bombay (which, however, only bring response to dates from this side reaching the 18th of August), received on Friday afternoon, caused some little disappoint ment, and the market closed rather weaker, with sales of about 2,000 bales. Some exaggerated ru mours have been current during the past day or two respecting the quality of the late arrival of East Indian cotton. Numerous arbitrations have, however, taken place. Considering the very large quantity received, the quality turns out satisfac torily, though not of a high class. Broach are the worst, being very seedy, and in some cases, for this very reason, an allowance of ld. per lb. has b-; ; e 13 made. Oomrawuttee, though not so good ttli earlier arrivals, still class up to the guaranteed quality ; and Dhollerah, more particularly Bownuggen, are a exceedingly good. Considerable inquiry has been, experienced for cotton in dock, at some slight ce, n ., cession from quotations, but only a limited brlsiness has been transacted, holders declining to except ing at current rates. Quotations alb as follows: Broach, merc h an t s ' new f a i r, 181 d. to 181 d.; Oomrawuttee;ditto, 171 d. to 3'", d. ; and Dhollerah, ditto, 17d. to 17id. per J. The business transacted in cotton on Saturo,ey was very limited, and the sales did not exceed 2,500 bales, of which 1,500 were on speculation and for export. Prices were in the buyer's favour. The American telegrams, per the Australasian, only reached 'Change ai'ter business was over. Great anxiety was, however, manifested for the intelligence, the roorns being crowded to an unu sua ll y l ate hour Opinion-s differed as to the eff ec t w hi c h the news of president.

PROFESSOR SIMONDS ON THE OU7- BREAIf OF SMALL-PDX IN SHEEP. Yesterday afternoon an introductory address to the forthcoming session of the Royal Veterinary College, Camden Town, was delivered by Professor Simonds. The PROFESSOR observed that although smallpox in sheep was a disease unknown during the pre sent generation in this country previous to 1847, it was not uncommon in many of the great sheep dis tricts on the continent. In the case of the human smallpox we possessed a simple, efficacious, and an almost altogether harmless means of prevention in vaccination ; but vaccination afforded no protection to sheep. Where the separation of the affected animals from the healthy ones proved insufficient to stay the disease, there remained only inoculation, which he recommended as the most efficacious safe guard. The disease had been introduced by foreign sheep sold in 'Smithfield Market ; it had spread rapidly, and committed frightful ravages in several counties during the year 1847, '4B, and '5O. Since 1850 the malady had not been heard of among our flocks until July last, when it broke out in Arlington near Devizes. Neither the shepherds or the pro prietors were satisfied as to its real nature until his (the Professor's) aid had been sought, and at that time many animals had been lost. How it was communicated to Mr. Parry's flock was still a mystery, but it quickly spread to neighbouring flocks, and subsequently extended to neighbour ing counties. There was good hope—thanks to the preventive measures adopted—that the malady had been stayed in the vicinity where it had first showed itself, but as yet it would i be premature to express an t y decided alp .in Theon on the probable further course o f the decided e nature of the disease and the period of the year alike forbade a hasty conclusion. He could not conceal from himself the probability —.a probabi lity taught by bitter experience —that the disease might still spread more widely, and that the visi tation might ultimately prove as calamitous as in 1847 to 1859. The Professor then at some length discussed the economical and social aspects of the question. Premising that the value of the flocks of this country amounted to many millions sterling, he said the loss by death ranged from one fifth to one half, or even more, of an infected flock. This, however, was but part of the loss. The farmer had ;.:to bear the effects of the disease on the breeding and rearing of lambs, and the fattening of stock. Then grave as was the sacrifice to individuals, it was not the less so to the whole community, who suffered from a diminished supply of mutton and its conse quent increase in price. The rising of butcher's meat to the extent of a penny or a halfpenny in the pound would as surely tell afatal story in th e Registr ar -G enera l' s re turn of mortality. A large portion of our population at the best lived but a shade or two above the point of starvation—a still larger portion were insufficiently fed, and the out break of a malady in sheep might often make the differential element in the outbreak or not of epi demic disease among the people. It was from this point of view th at they could obtain the mast just ideas of th e true dignity of veterinary science. It was from this point of view, also, that they obtained I the most accurate views of the veterinary practi tioner's duties, for it was upon the progress of vete rinary science, and the skilful exercise of the vete rinary art, that a community had to depend for its chief safety from the evils arising from diseases like that which appeared amongst the flocks of Wilt shire. THE NEW LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.—Alderman Rose, elected last week Lord Mayor of London, is a native of Aberdeen, and connected with Brefhin. He has several near relations there. Mr. Rose left Aberdeen many years ago a comparatively poor lad, and by unceasing industry in business he has amassed a princely fortune. He has made his money in the same trade as did Sir James Duke, the famous London Lord Mayor furnished by Montrose.— Xontrose Btandard. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH FROM FRlGllT.—Yes tenlay afternoon Mr. H.
