AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The " Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the 'welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting, the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its effects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S SELF-PRESERVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and Phisical Debility, of which the 90th Edition has just been published' by Mann and Co., 39, Cornhill, London, price ls., sent post free for 13, or in a sealed envelope for 20 stamps Dr. I,AIIEnT, M.D., &c., having for 20 year s d evoted hi mself entirely to this branch of practice, may be consulted daily, either personally or by correspondence, at his resid e n ce, 'No 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE.

The famed Yorkshire meeting opened under prospects which seem to brighten as years roll in. The company in. creases annually, new faces supply the vacancies occasioned by old age or death, more running horses are entered on the lists, and more young ones bred than would have been dreamt of in the philosophy of the six subscribers to Eng land's original great race for 3-yr-olds, the Doncaster St. Leger. These facts need not to be impressed upon the mind of any man who 30 years ago travelled for two days on the great North road, and on Monday last performed the same distance in four hours. Such was the rush to wards the trysting spot that an extra train had to be de spatched from King's-cross, and so well did steam and iron do their duty that the two trains reached their desti nation within a quarter of an hour of each other. The Sub scription-room was consequently well attended, and a more than average amount of business transacted on the forth coming events of the week, The outlays upon Buckstone and Hurricane for the St. Leger had the effect of driving The Marquis slightly back in the betting, and at mid night it was next to impossible to determine whether the North or the South country horse was first favou rite. Lord Glasgow's Stockwell colt and Col. Towneley's Imperatrice were also entrusted with some money. For the Champagne Stakes layers were plentiful against Lord Clifden, who had been backed for even money, but de clined during the evening ; and for the Great Yorkshire Handicap Dulcibella was sadly at a discount. Changes, however, took place in the morning, and the Marquis was before noonday almost alone in the position of decided favourite. Messrs. Tattersall were meanwhile busy in the horse-fair, and sold a few yearlings at good prices, one or two being bought in at double their value. At half-past - 1 the Stand presented the usual lively ap pearance of the fashionable gathering of Yorkshire, and an excellent bill of fare began to be discussed under a genial sky, with 14 runners for the old-established and appropri ately-named Fitzwilliam Stakes. King of Diamonds then showed his speed by disposing of Caller Ou and Wallace without an effort. The Champagne Stakes were won cleverly by the favourite, Armagnac, who was second, having been purchased by the Earl of Stamford and War rington previous to the race. The Great Yorkshire Handi cap produced a large field and an interesting contest ; after which betting upon the St. Leger was renewed, 4 to 1 being again offered against the Marquis. An excellent day's sport was brought to its termination with the greatest punc tuality, and no contretemps occurred save a fall in the se cond race, when Engineer stumbled and fell on his knees at the moment the flag was lowered, and Astarte, who was lying in his track, rolled over him. Neither of the jockeys received any injury beyond a few bruises. The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 5 soya each, with 100 added, for all ages ; weights for age ; winners extra. The second t , save his stake.

AUSTRALIA, ..-- ANOTHER INVITATION TO ENGLISH CRICKETERS.-.GEORG E PARR'S ELEVEN. An invitation has been received by Mr. George Parr, by the late Australian mail, with proposals for him to visit Australia with eleven cricketers, himself to be the captain. The letter is dated " July 26, Marshall's Cricketing Depot, Swanston-street, Melbourne," and is signed "George Mar shall." The proposals are that G. Parr, with his team, should leave England for Australia in September, 1863, and the following names are mentioned whom the colonists would like to see over :—T. Hayward, R. Carpenter, R. Daft, J. Jackson, E. Willsher, J. Caesar, G. Griffith, G. Anderson, W. Mortlock, J, Grundy, G. Bennett, J . Lilly white, W. Caffyn, G. Tarrant, T. Sewell, and T. Lockyer. Twelve matches are to be played in Victoria and New South Wales, as shall be arranged by a committee. The condi tions go on to state that £6OO shall be remitted to England prior to departure, also the sum of £5O per man as a provi sion for their wives and families during their absence, should the proposal be agreed to. Arrangements to be made with Messrs. Bright Brothers, Melbourne. The passage to be first class. The letter mentions that the speculation is likely to realise to each man from £4OO to £6OO. It also states that Griffith, Caffyn, Bennett, and Mortlock are espe cial favourites in Australia, and they hope to see "Tom Lockyer." The terms offered to G. Parr are extremely libe ral, and doubtless they will be accepted when the team con sult together. Parr is to return an answer as early as pos sible, so as to facilitate arrangements in Melbourne for their reception, which, the writer adds, will be more enthusiastic than the late visit. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. IG.—The yarn-market has been exceedingly quiet to-day. Scarcely any inquiry has been made, either by consumers or by speculators. At the same time holders are very firm, and are demanding extreme prices, still feeling confident that the value of all kinds of cotton goods will be considerably higher than at present. At the extreme rates now quoted shippers for India are quite out of the market, and have been for many weeks past. The recent advices from Bombay and Calcutta are discouraging, even had not prices here gone up so out of all proportion to the values current in India. There is nothing indeed, doing for shipment to any foreign market, except some limited operations, under peculiar circumstances, for Germany. The cloth-market has been quite as inactive as that for yarns. Holders are very firm and the saies effected have been made without any concession from the rates of last week. They have not got up again to the highest point recently attained, but holders express much confidence that they will do so, and do not care to sell anything less. There has been no buying for India or for export at all. Almost the whole of the cloth purchased to-day and for som e ti me pas t h as been taken with a view to resale in this market. Manu factures and holders of cloth generally entertain the opinion that, whatever change may take pl ace w i t h re gard to cotton, the limited quantity of cloth on h an d an d now producing will insure high prices for some ti me t o come. A great influx of cotton, it is thought, might tem porarily send down prices, but the rea c ti on would be suffi cient, with the present scarcity of cloth, to secure them from much loss. The new fibres proposed as substitutes for cotton engage more and more att ention. The trade generally do not believe in them. Flax cotton, China grass, and various other substitutes were t ried Years ago, during a partial dearth of cotton, and man y manufacturers sp en t considerable sums of money in experim ents, and were obliged to abandon them. Still there are many who, after living to see the inventions of the last 30 Years, have vague impressions that something may come of th e many attempts made to find a substitute. Some are even s anguine of such - a result. "Fabrics may be produced," th ey say, , c which are not identical w ith cotton, but which it is not improbable may be cheap enough, and of good quality enough, to eater into competition with cotton goods." The majority of ex perimenters are trying to find 'fibres to mix with cotton rather than to take its place, and among these the principal are preparations of flax. A. fibre was produced on the Ex change to-day made from Rio grass which bore the greatest resemblance to cotton of anything yet produced. It was extremely fine, of good colour and strong. It was many inches in length, and would require breaking up for use, but that would be no obstacle if it could be produced cheap enough and in sufficient quantity. It was said to be pro ducible in great quantity, and at 3d. per lb. ; but the ques tion which naturally suggests itself, if this is true, is suffi cient to throw doubt upon the statement. The Scotch fibres from jute and other substances do not find much favour here. It is said that the bleached samples which have been tried are too brittle. The cotton offered through the Messrs. Phillips, of London, begins to excite considerable interest. At first it was not believed in' because the gentlemen to whom it was shown were not allowed to handle it, but more recently the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce has been allowed that privilege, and pronounces it of sufficient strength. The statement in a circular recently issued by the inventor that a future supply of the material may be ob tained by cultivation in the United Kingdom, without dis placing from other purposes one acre of land, has taken the public by surprise. To this should be added the state ment made here on behalf of the inventor, when asked about the quantity, that an almost unlimited supply would be forthcoming almost immediately, or at least a million bales. The next question to be answered, and one of great importance, is as to cost. American cotton, it is known, has been produced and sold in this market with a profit at something like 4d per lb. No material is likely to come into permanent Use here that could not withstand such a competition. At least spinners and manufacturers will not be likely to risk their capital to any extent in procuring it. Even if ordinarily producible at this price, it is thought that any undertaking of the kind would be subject to a rude shock whenever the struggle in America is over, and when it is believed that this market will be completely glutted with cotton, which must be sold at any price. Such a shock in the infancy of an undertaking would be hard to withstand. Whether this belief is well founded or not, it is very prevalent here, and it is this which explains the ap parent apathy which has been manifested with regard to procuring cotton from new fields of cultivation. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth market : " There is no change in this market since Tuesday last. On Saturday and yesterday there was rather more inquiry, and a moderate business was done, but to-day the demand has fallen off again, and there is little or nothing doing. Prices are nominally the same as last week, but are very irregular." LEEDS, 16th.—The markets in both the cloth halls to day were rather quiet as to purchases, but prices were firm, and the tone of the market was healthy. There is no im provement in the demand by the export houses, but the home trade continues steady. The parcels removed from the halls to-day at the close of the market included a fair portion of ordinary useful black cloths, as well as different mixed and fancy goods for autumn and winter wear. The finishers of the new Witneys are fully employed, and are working overhours. ROCHDALE, 15th.—There has been a good market for flannels to-day, and a considerable bulk of goods was pur chased, as there was also at the warehouses during the past week. Prices have an upward tendency, especially those of Welshes. Manufacturers are busy, many of them com pleting orders for exportation, as well as for the home trade, and the prospects for some time to come are satisfactory. Yorkshire goods are selling much better than of late. Wools still keep very firm in price ; indeed, on the more saleable sorts an advance of 2d. per lb. has taken place within the past fortnight. RAILWAY IMELLIGENCE. SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at Aberdeen--Mr. J. Stirling in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he thought the result of the half-year's working was very favourable to the company. They were enabled in the past half-year to show a considerable increase in their traf fic, and to give a better dividend to the shareholders than in the corresponding period of last year. Considering the circumstances of the country, those two facts were very gratifying. Their expenses were on the decrease. This was the first half-year of their working with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway Company, and he was glad to say that their working with that company had been highly harmo nious and satisfactory. lie concluded by stating that he I should be happy to answer any question the shareholders might wish to put. Mr. G. THOMPSON, in seconding the motion, said he thought they had reason to be very well pleased with the present state of the undertaking, and he hoped the dividends on the ordinary stock would continue to increase. The motion was carried unanimously. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the sum of £20,103, then standing at the debit of the Aberdeen revenue balance account, was transferred to the debit of the Aberdeen capi tal account. The retiring directors were re-elected, and also the retiring auditor. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. SCOTTISH CENTRAL. The directors state in their report that the expenditure on capital account during the past half-year amounted to £9,263, of which works and stations absorbed £2,377. Under the head of waggon account a further sum of £5,238 had been paid. During the half-year £12,700 had been received on account of irredeemable 4 per cent. debenture stock, making a total of £242,880 issued in lieu of an equal amount of fluctuating debenture debt. The revenue of the half year had been injuriously affected by the continued depres sion of trade. The International Exhibition has also con tributed to depress the passenger receipts, as it has attracted large numbers to the south, and disturbed the regular course of traffic. The traffic receipts for the half year ending 31st July amounted to £86,265 against £87,165 for the corres ponding period of 1861, showing a decrease of £9OO. This deficiency is augmented by the large payment of £3,086 made by this company to the Caledonian, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Dundee and Perth Companies, under the quadruple agreement for the half year ending 31st January last. This was £2,474 in excess of what was paid in the corresponding period, and swells the net decrease on the half year to £3,374. This payment is owing to the receipts of this company during the half year in question being in excess of the proportion assigned to them under the agree ment. Such payments depend entirely upon the progress made by the respective companies. If any of the four earns a larger proportion than the value originally assigned to it under the agreement, a payment has to be made by that company to its partners. The expenditure amounted to £56,483 against £54,592, showing an increase of £1,891. The available balance, including £1,575, brought from the preceding half year, amounts to £28,272, out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 51 per cont. per annum on £1,045,000, payable on the Ist Oct., leaving £B4O. The surplus fund shows a total of £11,875. The directors express their undiminished confidence in the re sources of the line, and their belief that when the tempo rary depression shall have passed away the company will continue to progress as it has hitherto done. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OF IRELAND. The report of the directors states that on the line from Dublin to Athlone, and the Athenry and Tuam and Long ford and Cavan branches, the traffic receipts for the past half year amounted to £89,947, against £89,889 in the cor responding half of 1861, showing an increase of £6B. The receipts from the railway and canal were £99,843, and the disbursements £52,299, leaving a balance of £47,544. To this was added the surplus from last half year of £5,124, leaving a disposable sum of £52,668, out of which the direc tors recommended that a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, amounting to £49,321, be declared on the paid-up capital of the company, carrying over a balance of £3,346. The accounts of the extension from Athlone to Galway had been examined by the Go vernment auditor, and showed a deficiency on the gross re ceipts of £2,410 as compared with the corresponding half of 1861, owing to which there was a debit against the ba ronies of £1,058 on this account. The traffic from the Royal Canal showed a net increase of £243. The traffic on the Athenry and Tuam branch, leased by this company for ten years from 1860, still showed a decrease on the working. The Great Northern and Western Railway of Ireland Com pany had obtained their act for a line to Ballina. The Irish North-Western Railway Company had opened their junc tion line between Clones and Cavan, and the Dublin and Meath Railway Company their line between Clonsilla and Navan. From both sources the directors hoped that the traffic over the Midland line would he improved. The con struction of the lines from Longford to Sligo and from i. ! Streamstown to Clara had so far advanced that bethornn be opened in the course of next month. The works.ta_ account' Liffey branch proceeded satisfactorily. The eap , i be i showed that £3,287,313 June showed account for the half-year ending the oths-oexpended,l9av had been expe o nded. r that £99,843 had been received and £4.1, s ing a balance of £55,690. The receipts os the expenses to Athlone to Galway amounted to on the line from lE.xchequer Loan C 0,.. £10,0.15, and the interest paid to th e e ent., to £8,225, together 1 70,902, out of which the missioners, on £470,000 at 3i £18,270, showing a deficiency of ° Of the account, £1,904, was balance standing to the cre dit to provided by the baronies deducted, leaving X 1,05.8 through which this portion of the line passes. SOUTH-EASTERN. The traffic receipts on this company's line for the four weeks and two days ending the 30th August, amounted to IRISH SOUTHEASTERN. The report c.f the directors states that the surplus revenue for the half-year available for dividend, iucluliig the balance of £l,llB brought from the preceding half-year, amounted to £1,473. Out of this the directors recommend a dividend of 1 per cent, per annum, leaving a balance of 1 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £341 for next account. The receipts for the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted to £6,698, against £6,824 for the corres ponding half of 1861, showing a decrease of £126. The Board made an application to the Great Southern and Western Railway Company to take a lease of the line for ten years, renewable for ever, at such a rent as would pro • duce 2i per cent. on the original shares of the company. This proposal was declined, and the Board appointed a deputation to wait on the directors of the Great Southern and Western Company, which resulted in a proposition to lease the line in perpetuity at 2 per cent, per annum. This proposition was submitted to the committee of shareholders appointed at the last half-yearly meeting to confer with the directors as to the sale or lease of the line, and the com mittee informed the Board that, after anxious consideration of the subject, they were determined to advise the share holders not to entertain so low an offer, and subsequently made a proposal to lease the line at 2i per cent, per annum, or to accept £7 of original stock of the Great Southern and Western Company in lieu of the £l2 shares of the Irish South-Eastern Company. This proposition was declined by the Great Southern and Western Company. The Bagenals town and Wexford line was opened to Ballywilliam in March last, but the traffic arrangements were as yet in such an incomplete state that no beneficial result had been received by this company from the extension. The capital account to the 30th of June showed that £317,893 had been received, and £312,841 expended, including £50,000 invested in the Bagenalstown and Wexford Rail way, leaving a balance of £5,052. The revenue account for the half-year showed that £6,702 had been received, and £4,404 expended, leaving a balance of £2,298. Out of this was deducted £1,973 for interest on loans, leaving 1325. THE SUSPECTED 31U.RDER OF AN ARTIST AT PLYMOUTH. PLYMOUTH, MONDAY. The inquest on the body of Mr. W. T. Norman, artist, who was yesterday found dead under myste rious circumstances, was held this evening before A. B. Bone, Esq., coroner. Evidence of the finding of the body and the ap pearances as already detailed having been given, Henry Ralph gave the following extraordinary evidence :—He said that he was a lamplighter, and at four o'clock on Sunday morning he went through the Pennycomequick-archway to put out the lamp, and near the archway he saw the body of a man lying op his back across the path, not over the kerb. He thought he heard him breathing, and took no notice of him and passed on. It was dark and raining in torrents. There was a lamp 20 or 30 feet off. He thought the man was drunk. The witness was cross-examined, but only re peated the same story. The Coroner severely censured him for his utter want of 'all consideration in not stopping to see whether the man was dead or alive. It was the most extraordinary case of apathy he had ever heard of, and probably might have cost deceased his life. Waiters from the Globe and another inn deposed to having served deceased with refreshments on Sa turday evening. Deceased " had been drinking, but appeared capable of taking care of himself." At the latter place "he seemed a little the worse for liquor." He did not there say that he had sold two paintings that day. He had on a pair of new boots. (When he left home he had on old ones, and must have obtained money to buy the others.) He left home about half-past eleven. Mr. De la Rue, surgeon, described the state of the body and injuries. There were abrasions above the chin, on the nose, and the left eye; also abra sions on the wrist and knee-cap. At the back of the head, just behind the right ear, was an incised jagged wound one inch long and half an inch deep, extending down to the bone. There was no contu sion or bruise about the wound. Hemorrhage from the wound was the immediate cause of death. The rest of the body was extremely healthy. The de ceased might have been alive when the lamplighter went by. Mr.:Edwards was recalled, and, in reply to a jury man, stated that there was no blood on the ground whet e the body was found. Several unimportant witnesses having been ex amined, the Coroner summed up. The Jury, after deliberation, returned a verdict thut William Thomas Norman, on the 14th day o f September inst., was found dead near the Penny comequick railway aich. That the said William T. Norman died from hemorrhage, caused by a wound upon his head, but how or by what means such wound was caused, no evidence appears to the jurors to show. THE ALLEGED STARVATION OF A FAMILY. Yesterday the inquiry respecting the alleged death from starvation of Mrs. Charlotte Crippin, aged 45, and the dreadful sufferings of her family, was resumed by Mr. H. Raffles, Walthew, the depaty coroner, at the Grasshopper Tavern, Church street, Whitechapel. It will be recollected that a Mrs. Yelland, resid ing at No. 12, Wellclose-square, hearing that a family were perishing from starvation at No. 14, went there and found Mrs. Crippin and two chil dren lying on a mattrass, and reduced to mere skin and bone. Mrs. Crippin said that her husband had left them in that condition. They were re moved to the union-house, where Mrs Crippin died in a few days. George Crippin, her husband de posed that he was not to blame for the calamity, but was compelled against his urgent entreaties to remove his wife and children from the union -house, at a time when he had not a halfpenny to buy them a morsel of food. Upon the coroner taking his seat the brother of George Crippin stated that he was lying danger ously ill, and could not be present to-day, but there was a witness who could corroborate his statement with reference to the conduct of the workhouse authorities, whom he would wish to produce. William Couper, a bricklayer, said that he knew Crippin and his wife for 17 years, and Crippin was a very kind husband. About four months since they were turned out of their lodgings because they could not pay their rent, and deceased was for a night or two sleeping about on door steps. CriP pin tried to get a shilling that was due to him to get a bed for her, but not being abl e t o do 6° Wit ness took them into his house, and kept the m for three or four days, She went into the workhouse witness h soon afterwards.

On the S I RP; NA VI. ------ The screw steam sloop Africa, 4, 669 tons, left Plymouth on Sunday, under the flag of the Emperor of China—green ground, yellow border, and yellow diagonal cross,—having been purchased by His Imperial Majesty. She is now called the China. This sloop will bear the pennant of Capt. Sherard Osborne, R.N., and will be in charge of Commander Allan Young. She is to be masted, rigged, and equipped for sea in the Victoria Docks, London, where the Amoy (late Jasper, 1, gunvessel, 301 tons, 80-horse powor),Lieut. Arthur Salvvay, R.N., is under equipment. The third ship belonging to the squadron, the screw gunvessel Mohawk, 4, 697 tons, with engines of 200-horse power, is com manded by Capt. Burgoyne, R.N. There will be a redundancy of commissioned officers on board each ship. The sqn. after equipment, proceed for Pekin. - Yesterday the Jasper, 5, screw steam gunvessel, 425 tons, made an official trial of her engines. The vessel left the harbour of Sheerness in charge of Captain T. P. Thompson, and proceeded to the measured mile off Maplin Sands. The engines are of 80 nominal and 300 indicated horse-power. The trial was considered by all the parties interested to be of a most satisfactory nature. The mechanical arrangements for fitting and fix ing the armour plates of the Prince Consort at Pembroke dockyard have been completed. These arrangements, which have been devised and carried out under the superintendence of Mr. J. Inman Fincham, the master shipwright of the yard, pro vide for an economical system of work, and have been warmly commended by the Board of Admi ralty. Tramways have been laid down from the landing wharf to the ship's sides and to the machine-house, and steam cranes for raising and lowering the plates have been placed upon them on wheels, so that the huge plates, weighing several tons each, can be transported from the wharf either to their places on the side of the ship or to the machine-house and back again in a very few minutes. The machine-house contains numerous well-selected machines for bending, planing, and drilling the plates, and furnaces for annealing them when necessary. The workmen are busily occupied in fixing the armour upon the Prince Consort. The Edgar, 86, screw, Capt. the Hon. R F. Foley, just completed in her fitment at Pgrtsmouth as the flagship of Rear-Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8., for service in the Mediterranean, yesterday made her official trial of machinery, &c., under the supervi sion of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the Re serve, assisted by Mr. Murdoch, inspector of machi nery afloat, and Mr. Ward, assistant to the engineer in-chief of the dockyard. The ship was to have run at the measured mile, but owing to the working of the machinery not being of the most satisfactory character, this was postponed. The Rifleman iron screw sloop was brought down from her moorings in Portsmouth harbour yester day, where she has lain since her return to England &Om foreign service, and placed in No. 2 dock. In accordance with orders to that effect received at Chatham, every exertion is being made to have the paddle-wheel steamer Argus, 6, 300 horse power, Commander P. Moor, fitting for the China and Japan waters, ready to leave the Medway during the present week after making her trial trip at the Maplin Sands. The whole of her officers who had been absent on leave rejoined yesterday at the Nore. The Argus will swing, to adjust compasses, either to-day or to-morrow, and is expected to leave the Medway for Spithead on Friday to await final orders. She takes out a detachment of Royal Marines for escort duty at the British Legation, Japan. During the time the Argus has been in the Medway waters she has undergone a very thorough repair, both to her hull and ma chinery, and has been fitted with new funnels. Her crew numbers 170 officers and men. It is understood that the new coaling arrange ments at Portland, which are of a very complete character, will be made available at no distant period for the coaling of her Majesty's ships. At present the huge coal store, capable, it is said, of holding 6,000 tons of coals, is empty, and in the adjacent yard not 100 tons are in stock to supply the immediate wants of the large iron-plated and other steam-ships now in the harbour. Capt. Ramsay, R.N., C. 8., whose period of ser vice as Superintendent of Pembroke Dockyard has just expired, took his departure from that place on Saturday afternoon, in her Majesty's steamer Lightning. The whole of the officers and workmen assembled at the place of e mbarkation, and cheered the gallant officer lustily as he left. This sponta neous demonstration of good feeling was received by him with much apparent emotion, and must have afforded him great satisfaction at the termination of appointments were ma d e yester and vigorou s servi ces at Pembroke. his long Admiralty :—J o h n D .

Nedhanr, commanding the Royal Artillery in the Chatham district, concluded his half-yearly inspection of the Ist division Depot Brigade, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Talbot. The entire division having been paraded in drill order, in open column, right in front, Col. Nedham spent some time in a cicse inspection of the ranks, after which the brigade was marched to the fortifi cations commanding the entrance to the Medway, where the; works were manned and an extended course of heavy gun drill gon e through in a highly creditable manner, the result of the inspection j ust brought to a terminatio n baying been Pronounced 'very satisfactory. r 4,) 4 14C1 , ,rP, , T,7:-k W":;' -- ; made the same statement, when mn6 %04:0 - riiit 1 tv /7;4- ... liquor.

The Coroner—Did the chairman of the board of guardians ask deceased whether Crippin was in employment and could support his wife ? Witness replied that that question was not asked, Dr. Richardson said that he performed a post mortem examination of deceased, and found It chronic inflammation of the stomach. The cause of death was inflammation of the stomach and diseased liver. Deceased presented a most emaci ated appearance, and seemed to have been much starved. She had been of intemperate habits, and such habits might have produced such disease. The Coroner said that as Crippin was too ill to attend to sustain his account of the circumstances of the case he had no option but to again adjourn the court. The court was accordingly adjourned.
