THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this. has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less thanl2 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, Sze., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we ore forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

BY SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay h at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which•cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of. their bitterness may be removed; and how the evil and its consequences. may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to,which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL NEWMARKET, SUNDAY NIGHT. Shortly before twelve o'clock last-night a collision of a somewhat singular though painful nature; took - place on the Newmarket branch of • the - Eastern Counties Railway, by which one of 'th©_ eompany'S guards was killed on .the spot, and another received most severe injuries, - placing his life, as we are given to understand, in imminent danger. From certain circumstances our reporter found some difficulty in obtaining a full account of the details of the melancholy affair; but the subjoined particulars, gathered. on the spot, will give the l principal facts of the case. Owing to the ap proaching races at Newmarket, the company have been called upon to convey 'a large number of horses to- that place to meet their engage ments, and consequently as each train discharged its freight the empty horse boxes were sent back to the Shoreditch terminus, for the purpose of taking a fresh batch down. These empty trains, which have been run as often as the ordinary arrangements of the line would permit, have been kept running for the greater part of last week, and even up to so late as near midnight yesterday, and it was to one of these trains that the, mishap oc curred. It would appear that the train, consisting of a large number of carriages, arrived at Newmar ket last evening, and having discharged its cargo, started back for the purpose of proceeding to Shore ditch at a few minutes after 11 o'clock. The train passed through Dallingham without anything par ticular taking place ; but on nearing the Six-mile Bottom station the officials in charge heard some thing approaching it from behind, and every means were brought into requisition to give some notifi cation to the driver of what proved itself to be a train, but to no avail, for when within a short dis tance of Six-mile Bottom the empty train was run into by the other, which turned out to be a goods train which had come up from Newmarket. . Happily the first tram was empty, there being no persons in the train but those officials who were necessary to work it up to town. These consisted of the engine-driver and. his fireman and two guards named Charles Titmarsh and. Dickerson. The other train, too, was fortunately a goods one, and, •therefore, as in the case of the other train, very few persons were in it. Had it been otherwise the con sequences must have been most fearful ; .in fact, we should in all probability have had to chronicle an other of those fearful calamities the inquiry into which has just been brought to a termination. An other fortunate circumstance was that the.' goods train. was. only partially loaded, it ,being made up for the greater part with empty coal trucks ; therefore the force with which it ran into the other train must have been considerably lessened. As it was,. one of the guards of the first train lost. his life, and the other sustained grievous bodily injuries. As soon as possible after the colli sion the drivers of the respective trains made an examination into the state of affairs, and it was found that the engine of the goods train had run into the break van of the, horse-box train, in which were Titmarsh and Dickerson, - both of whom.were much disfigured. Titmarsh was found to be quite dead, but Dickerson, although severely injured., was yet alive. The body of the . unfortunate man was conveyed to the inn nearest the Six-mile Bottom Station, and Dickerson was placed under the attendance of several medical gentlemen residing in the neighbourhood; and who hearing of the catas trophe at once hastened to the spot to render what aid. they Could. Information, was sent to town, and the superin tendent of the line, accompanied. by other officials of the company, repaired to the scene of the catas trophe for the purpose of making an investigation into its case. The coroner for the district has also been infornied of the occurrence,- and this evening has issued his warrant *or a jury to be empannelled to inquire into the circumstances which led to the death of the guard ; and on the assembling of the jury no doubt 'the whole matter will be fully'sifted. Pending this inquiry we forbear giving any opinion as to the cause of the accident ; but we might say that it is currently reported that the usual tail 'lights were not attached to' the rear of the first train, and therefore the engine-driver of the _second was not aware that .he was so close on the other train until the moment of collision. ThiS, T how ever; and the question as to why, the goods train was allowed to leave at so short a period after the other, will be matters for the consideration of the jury. Another rumour is thot the driver of the second train disregarded the signals, and it is even stated that they were pointed out to him by his fireman. Both the unfortunate guards were mar ried, but Titmarsh had only been so a 'few days, while the other has a large family: THE FRAUDS IN THE WHISKY TRADE. Edward Thurgood, described as a surgeon, and John Riley, an agent, were brought up for final examination, before Alderman Sidney, at tie Guildhall, on Saturday, charged with conspiring to defraud Mr. Christie, a spirit-broker, of Liverpool, of 19 hogsheads and one puncheon of whisky — value about £300._ Mr. Wontner appeared for the prosecution Mr. Sleigh attended for Thurgood, and Mr. Robinson for Riley. The evidence taken at the last examination hiv ing been read over by the chief clerk, Leonard, a detective officer, was called, and' said—Since the last hearing of this case I have been to Thurgood's lodgings, and found there five one-gallon jars of whisky and one two-gallon jar. Mr. Wontner—That is the case for the prosecu tion ; and I have therefore to ask you to send these parties for trial for conspiracy. Mr. Sleigh said if he had the slightest intima tion of the magistrate's opinion of the case, as to his intention with regard to the prisoners, he would not occupy the time of the court unnecessarily if any observations of his would have no effect upon the worthy alderman's view of the case. Alderman Sidney he had come to the conclusion, upon the evidence before him, that this was a case that should be sent to a jury to determine. Mr. Sleigh said in that case he would adopt the course that he always pursued under the circum stances, but at the same time he might remark that much irrelevant matter had been imported into the case, which, on being inquired into elsewhere, would throw a very different aspect upon the whole matter. Mr. Robinson said he could hardly think the magistrate had quite made up his mind upon such a serious matter, and he therefore drew attention to the bona fide character of all Riley's proceed ings, which he contended were inconsistent with a guilty participation in the offence charged. Mr. Wontner said as this was a charge of con spiring to obtain goods by false pretences, the magistrate might, in his discretion, refuse to accept bail. The prosecution had,been pestered with daily notices of bail, and the officer had been constantly employed inquiring into the stability of persons who were found to be not qualified, and he there fore hoped that for the ends of justice the prisoners might be kept in custody until the trial. Mr. Robinson said Riley had not offered bail, and he contended that the original charge of obtaining goods under false pretences had been abandoned on the charge of conspiracy being preferred, and he therefore trusted the alderman would not deprive him of his right to bail under the present charge. Mr. Sleigh—Though a very unfair proceeding on the part of the prosecution, to seek to deprive Thurgood of his liberty at a time when he was pre pared with good and substantia l bail, by reviving the original charge, which would then leave the question of bail entirely at the magistrate ' s discre tion, at a future time he should prove that Thur. good's character was very different to what it had been represented. Alderman Sidney then said, in his judgment he had but one course open to him to pursue, from the evidence adduced against them. He had given great attention to this case, and he thought it his bounden duty to commit the prisoners for trial. The prisoners reserved their defence. Ald er man Sidney said, with regar d to b a il , t h e practice of this court had hitherto been, in such cases, not to accept bail, and he could not depart from that rule. The prisoners were then fully committed for trial. DETERMINED SUICIDE IN THE CITY.—On Satur day morning, at half-past 6 o'clock, a most determined suicide was committed by Maria Drew, aged 28 years, re siding in Giltspur-street, Smithfield. It appears that the deceased, who was in the employment of Mr. Jefferys, dentist, in the before-mentioned locality, had formed an at tachment to a young man holding a situation in a mercantile house in the (ity. During the past week the deceased had been in a low and desponding sta to of mind, through her in tended having discarded her for the sake of another, leaving her enceinte ; and on her sister going downstairs she found the poor girl in the water-butt, with her heels uppermost. An alarm was instantly raised, when police-constable Kett, N 291, was immediately on the spot, and took the deceased out in her night clothes. A medical man was called and promptly attended ; he used every means to restore anima tion, but without effect. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1858.

TUE BURNING OF THE PASSENGER STEAMSHIP AUSTRIA. y the Persia, which arrived at Liverpool yes teraay morning, we receive full details of the burn ing 't#f the steamship Austria, of the Hamburg line of packets. As already stated, 67 persons were rescued by the French barque Maurice. Twelve of these were transferred to the barque Lotus, which arrived at Halifax on the 26th ult. Among'', these twelve were Mr. Chartres Brew, the recently ap pointed inspector of Police in British Columbia. The following narrative furnished by Mr. Brew, was telegraphed to the New York Press : " I took passage at Southampton on the 4th inst. in the steamship Austria, Capt. Heydtmann, which left Hamburg on the 2d. We sailed at five p.m. the evening being a little misty ; we in conse quence anchored between the Isle of Wight and the main land ; sailed again at four o'clock on the fol lowing morning. In weighing anchor an unfortu nate accident occurred, by which one of the crew lost his life. Owing to some mismanagement the anchor ran out, whirling the capstan round and hurling the men in all directions. Two were severely injured, and one thrown overboard. He is supposed to have been instantly killed, as he never rose to the surface. " From the time the ship was laid on her course we experienced strong westerly winds. On the 12th the weather was more favourable, and on the 13th a speed of eleven knots had been attained, and al we re in high hopes of reaching New York by the 18th. At a little after 2 o'clock p.m., I was on the quarter-deck. 4 1 saw a dense volume of smoke burst from the after entrance of the steerage. Some women ran aft, exclaiming, The ship is on fire ! What will become of us ?' The ship was instantly put at half speed, at which she continued until the magazine exploded, from which I infer the en gineers were instantly suffocated. I only walked from where I was on the quarter-deck to the waist of the ship, when I saw the flames breaking through the lights amidships. As the ship was head to the wind the fire travelled with fearful rapidity. "I then went to the man at the wheel, and told him to put the vessel with her side to the wind. He hesitated—probably did not understand me, as he was a native of Hambur. I then got a German gen tleman to speak to him. At this time I saw some persons letting down the boat on the port side of the quarter-deck. What became of the boat I don't know, but think she was crushed under the screw. I then went to let a boat over from the starboard side of the deck, but the moment we laid our hands on the ropes there were so many people who crowded into it that we could not lift it off the blocks. We therefore left it for a few minutes until the people got out, when we returned and launched it over the side of the ship, when, the people all rushing into it again, it descended with great vio lence into the water, and was instantly swamped, all the people being washed out excepting three, who held on to the sides. We then let down a rope and pulled up one person, who proved to be the steward. Another, in the act of being hauled up, was strangled by the rope. " The fire now came on too fiercely to attempt to-get up any more from the swamped boat. All the first cabin passengers were on the poop, with the exception of a few 'gentlemen, who must have been smothered in the smoking-room. Many of the second cabin passengers were also on the poop, but a number of them got shut into their cabin by the fire. Some of them were pulled, up through the ventilator, but the greater number could not be extricated. The last woman who was drawn up said there were six already suf focated. We now perceived that the ship had got her head to the wind again, so that the flames came over the quarter-deck. " In consequence of the crowd, I could net get to the wheelhouse to ascertain the reason. but I was informed that the helmsman had deserted his post, and that the vessel, being left to herself, headed to the wind of her own accord. At this time the scene u ir sb h a as u n s s ds b en ands, relatives looking after seeking w a er t e h rt ei t i s . h w itl y g es fr , a w n i t \ i , c e a s ll i y n on the quarter-deck was ind escr ib a bl e a nd truly heartrending.to searchan d fo rfo_ttheir Passengers relatives, mothers lamenting the loss of their chil dren, some wholly paralysed by fear, others madly crying to be saved ; but a few perfectly calm and collected. The flames pressed so closely upon them that many jumped into the sea ; relatives, clasped in each other's arms, leaped over and met a watery grave ; two girls, supposed to be sisters, jumped over and sank kissing each other. A missionary and wife leaped into the sea together, and the stew ardess and assistant steward, arm in arm, followed. One Hungarian gentleman, with seven fine chil dren, four of them girls, made his wife jump in, then blessed his six eldest children, made them jump in one after the other, and followed them with an infant in his own arms. "I, at this time, was standing outside the bul warks, holding on by the davits, leaning out to avoid the flames. which were leaping towards me. I saw a swamped boat under me, spinning by a rope still attached to the ship ; as the oars were tied in her, I thought if I could get to her I would be enabled to save myself and others. I let myself down by a rope, passing over a man who was clinging to it, but who refused to come with me. I took out a pen knife to cut the tackle ; the large blade broke, and: I then severed it with the small blade. The ship passed ahead. As the screw approached I found the boat drawn towards it. I tried to keep the boat off, but the screw caught and capsized her over me. I dived away from the ship and came to the surface near a boat which was keel upwards ; I got on her, and by pressing on one side, with the assist ance of a wave she righted, but was still swamped. The oars had been knocked out by the screw ; the only thing I could find in her to paddle with was some laths nailed together as a sheathing for the sides. _ . was a quarter " When I looked around, the ship of a mile away from me. I could see the ladies and gentlemen jumping off the poop into the water in twos and threes, some of the ladies in flames. Se veral hesitated to leap from the burning ship until the last moment, as the height was 22 feet, and were only at length compelled to throw themselves off to avoid a more painful death. In half an hour not a soul was to be seen on the poop. I pulled after the ship and picked up a German - who was swimming strongly ; I got him beside me on the boat, and we paddled after the ship with the laths. I now saw a vessel under sail approaching ; she reached the steamer about 5 p.m. We continued pulling towards them, and about half-past seven o'clock, after being five hours in the water, got within hail of the sailing vessel, which put off a boat and took us on board. She proved to be the French bark Maurice, Captain Ernest Renaud, of Nantes, bound from Newfoundland for Isle of Bourbon, with fishy She had, up to that time, res cued 40 passengers of the burning steamer, chiefly taken on the bowsprit, though a few were picked up floating around. At about eight o'clock one of the metallic boats came up, with about 23 persons including the first and third officers ; afterward.; three or four men were picked up, floating on a piece of the broken boat. The second 'officer was taken up, having been swimming, with nothing to float him, for six hours. The second and third officers were severely burned ; one male passenger was burned frightfully, and some other male pas sengers slightly. There were but six women saved, three of whom were burned in a shocking manner. " Capt. Renaud acted with the greatest kindness. He gave clothes as far as he could fiirnish them t,) the suffering passengers, and acted as nurse, doctor, and surgeon to the burned people, dressing the wounds of the females with a delicacy and tendmi ness that evinced a benevolent and amiable dispe . . sthon. "I did not see an officer of the ship during' the fire, and am certain there was not one of them or the crew on the poop, except a man at the wheel for a short time. I understood that when the captain heard of the fire, he rushed on deck without a cap, and when he saw the flames exclaimed, ' We are all lost.' He tried to get out a boat, which when let down, was swamped, and he fell into the sea, and was soon left far behind. The. fourth officer was in this boat. He cut her loose from the davits • she was carried under the screw and smashed, and se veral in her drowned. Three or four men escaped on a fragment, and were picked up. by the Mauric i r, as before stated. About the same time one metallic lifeboat was let down from the port bow and swamped, but got cleared away with about 33 par sons in her, including first and third officers and several women. The men in this boat capsized her two or three times, in trying to clear her of water. Ten persons were thus drowned, including soiie women. They afterwards bailed her out with life preservers cut in two, and pulled. to the I'vlaurige, having picked up two or three passengers before reaching the barque. Altogether there were p 7 souls taken into the. Maurice during , the night. " A Norwegian barque came up with the steamer the next morning, and a boat was observed goin g around the burning ship. They mayhave picked yip a few persons, but only a very few. The Maurce had no communication with the Norwegian. At about 7 o'clock the Maurice sailed for Fayal . to de posit the rescued passengers. At about 2 o'clock the same afternoon she fell in with the barque Lotus, Captain Trefy, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, from Liverpool for Halifax. As I was anxious I to get on British territory, Captain Trefy kindly gave me a passage. He was also anxious to take all the American citizens, but there was such a rush lof foreigners into the boats that only one load of 11 could be got off, and even several of these were breigners. " The fire is known to have arisen from very cut- pable negligence of some of the crew. The captain and surgeon considered it expedient to fumigate the steerage with burning tar. The operation was to be performed by the boatswain, under the superintendence of the fourth officer. The boat swain heated the end of a chain to dip in tar to produce smoke. The end became too hot to hold, and he let it drop upon the deck, to which it set fire. The tar upset and immediately all about was in flames. A feeble attempt was made to extinguish it, but without effect. There was nothing at hand to meet such an emergency. " The rescued passengers saved nothing but the clothes on their backs, and even the greater part of these were torn off and otherwise lost. " Six hundred souls were supposed to be on board, including many women and children. Mr. Brews is the only British subject saved." Professor Glaubensklee (one of the rescued) had likewise furnished a na rr ative, co afirmatory of Mr. Brews' statements. He adds, lo wever,—" Our only hope now being in two vessels in th e dista n ce, one of which—afterwards proved to be the Maurice —approached us slowly; the other, further off, steer ing west, took no notice of us, although she was sig nalled to do so by the captain of the Maurice." The freight of the Austria was exceedingly valuable, and consisted for the most part of costly silks, satins, and velvets, which were intended to supply , the winter trade. The insura nce on th e vessel is about X'70,000, and will nearly cover her loss. She was insured in Europe, chiefly in Ham burg and London. The insurance on the cargo is uncertain. The total value was 'supposed to have been not less than 400,000 dols., and may have been 450,000 dols. or 500,000 dole. The New York, Herald say, s :—" It is thought that the captain of the Austria was accidentally pushed overboard by the terror-stricken passengers while in the act of lowering one of the lifeboats, and that he was endeavouring at the time to pre vent their crowding into it. He has always, it is said, borne a high reputation for coolness and pre sence of mind in the midst of danger." A few of the passengers of the Austria were being conveyed to New York by the steamer Prince Albert, which vessel was been by the Persia enter ing her port of destination on the 28th ult.

It will be remembered that in a Trinity Bay telegram, which we published on Friday, it having been brought to England by the steam ship North American, it was said that the Atlantic Cable was again in complete working order, and that it could be stated with accuracy that the signalS received front Valentia were as perfect as ever. The follow ing communications, exchanged between the New York directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company and the manager at Trinity Bay explain the origin of that statement, and also, unfortunately, show that it was without foundation. New York, Sept. 24, evening. To the Associated Press,—Accompanying this, I beg to hand you copies of recent communications from the honorary directors of the Atlantic Tele graph Company and myself to Mr. De Sauty, the chief electrician at the Trinity Bay office. Mr. De Sauty's answer will be furnished for publication without unnecessary delay. • I deem it proper to state as the result of my inquiries concerning the despatch of Thursday from Trinity Bay, announcing the resumption of perfect signals through the cable from Valentia, that the announcement was made through a despatch from the superintendent of the land lines in Newfound land to the agent of the Associated Press, and was unquestionably reported in good faith ; but as the information has not yet been confirmed by Mr. De Sauty, who alone has full knowledge of all the facts, I regard the statement as possibly premature. It is conjectured that the - shore end of the cable at Valentia must be taken up for a distance of several miles, which, by reason of bad weather or other unavoidable difficulties, may occupy three or four weeks. The depth of water within 200 miles of the Irish coast ranges from about 50 to 400 fathoms, and it is not doubted that even 250 miles.of the cable could be raised if deemed necessarE—ltespect fully, &c., CYRUS W. FIELD. The call of the directors for definite information was transmitted in the following words : New York, Sept. 24, 10 a.m. C. V. De Sauty, Trinity Bay : Great dissatisfaction exists in this country with the reserve maintained at Trinity Bay, in contrast with the frank communications from Valentia to the British public. Give us daily information of the state of the telegraph under your charge.— PETER COOPER, CYRUS W. FIELD, WILSON G. HUNT, E. M. ARCHIBALD, WATTS SHERMAN. New York, Sept. 24-12 M. To De Sauty, Trinity Bay, N. F. : Despatches from you and from Mackay are con tradictory. Now, please give me explicit answers to the following inquiries :- 1. Are you now, or have you been within three days, receiving, distinct signals from Valentia ? 2. Can you send a message, long or short, to the directors at London ? 3. If you answer " no" to the above, please tell me if the electrical manifestations have varied essen tially since the Ist of Sept. CYRUS W. FIELD. The reply of Mr. De Sauty. Trinity Bay, N. F., Sept. 24, 1858. C. W. Field, New York : We have received•nothing intelligble from Valen tia since the Ist of Sept., excepting feeling a few signals yesterday. I cannot send anything to Valentia. There has been very little variation in the electrical manifestations. DE SAUTY. Mr. de Sauty to the Directors in New York. Trinity Bay, N. C. F., Sept. 25, 1858. Peter Cooper, C. W. Field, W. G. Hunt, and E. M. Archibald, New York : . I have not the least wish to withhold particulars as to the working of the cable, and until I have communicated with headquarters and ascertained the directions of the manager of the company, I will send a daily report of the proceedings. We were not working to -day, but receiving occasionally from Valentia some weak reversals of the current, which when received are unintellkible. C. V. DE SAUTY., Mr. de Sauty to Mr, Field. - Trinity Bay, N. C. F., Sept. 25, 1858. C. W. Field, New' York : Your message received. The day before yester day commenced receiving current from Valentia and was in hopes thaf.l shouldbe'atwork soon after, So I informed Mr. Mackay. Then the current failed. This will explain the discrepancy between his and my messages. C. V. DE SAUTY; The following despatch was received by Mr . Field on the 27th e Halifax, N.S., Sept. 27, 1858. Cyrus W. Field, New York— I have arrived here on my way to Bay of Bull's Arm, with instruments and regulations to test the cable in concert with Valentia. Good and regular currents from Newfoundland were received up to the day I left Valentia (the 12th inst.), but no words had been received since the 2d inst. The testing show a loss of insulation three miles from Valentia, but I hope to work through it. I leave here as soon as possible. The' steamer for St. John's does not start until the 7th of October, but I shall try to get there by gunboat or otherwise immediately. LUNDY, from Valentia office. SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT FRAMFIED, FRAMFIELD (SussEx), SATURDAY. Considerable excitement prevails in this place in consequence of the death of Elizabeth Randall, who, as alleged, was killed by her husband, Cornelius Randall, the keeper of the Barley Mow publiC house, where the inquest was held. Several wit nesses having deposed to a quarrel and a scuffle between the accused and her husband. Mr. George Holman, surgeon, of Uckfield, said —I was told I was wanted to go to Mr. Randall's, at the Barley Mow; that Mrs. Randall was very ill. I went directly. I found Mrs. Randall lying in bed, quite dead. I should think she might have been dead about half an hour. I then took but a slight view of the body. I discovered on the left side of the face a large bruise, extending to the ear ; also some bruises of a similar kind on the upper parts of the arms. The large bruise appeared to be recent—about two or three days. I dis covered no fracture. The bruise did not appear to be sufficient to cause death. It might have been caused by a blow from a fist. It was not such as would have been caused by a fall. I afterwards made a post-mo r te m examination of the body. I made a more minute external examination of the body than I had done before. I noticed first that the body was well-formed, and very corpulent. There was considerable distension of the abdomen, and slight oedema of the legs. On the left side of the face there was a bruise, extending from the left of the c hi n t o th e ear , an d par tl y behind the neck. This appeared to me to be of recent date, namely, from one to three days. I also found similar smaller bruises on each arm. I also discovered in different parts of the body several bruises, of longer standing, particularly a large one on the left breast. On removing the scalp, I discovered a large bruise extending about three inches towards the back of the head with considerable extravasation of blood. On removing the scalp-cap, the dura mater or cover ing of the brain was more vascular than usual, particularly on the left tide. On removing the dura mater, I found a clot of blood of considerable size nearly correspondng with the bruise discovered on the scalp. The brain, on both sides, was more congested than natural, particularly on the leftside ; but the appearance of the substance of the brain was healthy ;. I next examined the chest. I found the lungs and heart quite healthy. There was a little fluid in the pericardium. I found a fracture of the fourth rib of the left side, corresponding in situation with an external bruise. I next examined the abdomen. The liver was larger and of a paler colour than usual, the gall bladder quite full • the stomach nearly empty, not containing more than a tablespoonful of fluid ; the coat of the stomach rather more red than usual ; the intestines contain ing little in them, and healthy in appearance, as well as the kidneys and other organs in the region. The contents of the pelvis appeared natural. I attribute the immediate cause of death to the extra vasation of blood on the brain, probably caused by a blow or a fall ; I cannot say which. Other witnesses having been examined, Randall volunteered this statement : " lam cer tain that if I ever did my wife any injury, I did not intend doing so." The jury then returned a yerdict of Manslpghter against Randall, who was committed•for AN AFFAIR OF HONOUR..—A duel took place on Wednesday morning between M. Jules Noriac, editor of the _Figaro .Progranime, and M. Raymond Signouret, editor of the Gatilois. The cause is said to have been a sharp paper war which has been going on between the two Journals. The meeting took place on the hoights of Chatillon, the wea pons chosen being swords. MM. Breilh and Warner acted as the seconds of M. Signouret, and MM. Lucas and d e Mervin°, of M. Noriac. Five passes took plaQe without re suit; at the fifth the point of M. Signouret's weapon broke against the hilt of his adversary's, when M. Noriac s pon tamously offered his hand to M.

PAtt.44:€."l ,~ It seems beyond a doubt. that the, Regency has been, or will be wit a time conferred on the Prince of Priisiii:Xl..Lsit4ri King has.at length been_perSuaded tit ti the heir of the throne that \ isaWer can no longer exercise himself is assailed caavadently, and, though the intelligence is as-yet not official, it may be taken as possessing strong claims to belief. At all events, the matter is only a question of days. The state of the King is such that he can never hope to govern again in person, and, in spite of the intrigues of a camarilla, the devolution of his authority on, the next heir must take place ivheneVer the patience of the people is exhausted. We may assume, then, that King Frederick Wil liam has quitted for ever the political stage, and that Prussia is now about to change its sovereign. Such an event is of some importance even in a country like ours,; what, then, must it not involve in that laud of drill and routine, of parade-grounds and public officesOf army; civil service, church, law, literature, and art, all centralised in the pigeon holes of th e R oya l bureau' A King must always be a great man r the personage whom millions re gard Vcith admiration, respect, or curiosity must end by instilling something of his own temper into his subjects and his, age. Servants catch the tricks of their masters, wives get the look and voice and turns of expression which belong to their husbands, young ensigns become duplicates of the major in command, and barristers of one year's standing have already unconsciously assumed the tone and diction of the silk gown. Although the English man is of a stubborn and impassive nature, and may live 20 years in a foreign country without losing much-of what he brought with him or acquiring much from the people he is among, yet hardly monarch has reigned in England who has not moulded society into something like his own image. Those who come into contact with Royalty have been gallant cavaliers, tasteful in dress and decoration, but bigoted and insolent withal under Charles I. reckless and profligate under his son, wavering in their faith under James, with a return to Protestant and patriotic sentiments when William and Mary were. installed. The four georges in succession 'might have . seen their very various characters re flected in the mirror of contemporary English life. Happy it is for this country that the power has gone no further, and that Royal personages have been limited to an influence on the prevailing manners of the day. But in Prussia it has been and is widely different. There the King has almost a right to be the State, for he has made it. The British Isles, or France, or Spain may claim to be nations independent of any Government or dynasty. They are marked out by the hand of nature as sepa rate portions of the globe, and their geographical formation has tended more and more to give them unity in themselves and dissimilarity from their neighbours. No individual, or family, or class can say that he or they keep England together, and that without such help there would be no longer a country or a position in Europe for the inhabitants of these islands. The nation remains one by its own coherence and vitality ; its institutions may have done much ; but now the work is complete, and the nation is independent of any such el traneous aid. But Prussia must from the nature of things be deeply influenced by the personal character of its King. It does not present the type of a race more or less homogeneous like the French, nor of two 'or three nationalities welded together by long intercourse like the English, Scotch, and Irish. Prussia has been made by clever, ambitious Kings, by means of well-drilled armies. A fragment of old Catholic Rhenish Ger manys a portion of Silesia; Pomerania, and a share of Poland have been added by war to the heredi tary dominions of the House of Brandenburg, and as they have been added, there is no reason why they should not be subtracted. Unity there canhe none between populations so widely sundered, each of which, also, is . closely related to some other in its neighbourhood which does- not acknowledge the Prussian sceptre. All that connects Dantsic with Cologne is the individual Frederick or Frederick William who is enthroned at Berlin, and the positive infantry, cavalry, and artillery, inspec tors; accountants, and copying clerks who obey his commands. Orders of knighthood , due patronage of celebrities encouragement to genius, and in some degree to ambition, a strict system of licensing, a national apparatus of education, and a- Royal Prussian Church, tend to give something more of solidity to this fabric. But still it requires no little skill and watchfulness to keep together such a kingdom, and prevent it from being separated into its original elements. Hence the character of the ruler is of the last importance to the Prussian people, said the members of the Royal familY are:. the objects of a scrutiny which would be unnecessary in a less artificial state, Of the - King whose authority is now passing away we have already spoken, and our estimate agrees with that wlikiftlif Most enlightened Ger mans have long formed of a well-intentioned bat feeble and visionary Monarch. The Prince of Prussia has a more hopeful reputation. It is not • only the vague expectation which always looks to a demise of the Crown as the dawning of a better day, but there is a well-grounded belief that the Prince, both from his own judgment and his con nexion with our own Royal family, will govern on more liberal and manly principles. That this is felt has been proved by the struggle which not only the Queen, who might be supposed personally interested,: but the 'whole of the Absolutist party, have waged ,against the abdication of supreme power by the King. Now that the Regency is placed beyond a dmibt, we shall soon learn how far a real change in the policy of the State is to be anticipated. Every friend of the independence and progress of Prussia will wish the Prince success. The democratic tendencies . attributed to him we do not believe in ; but we think that he is likely to govern more sensibly, liberally, and constitutionally than the present monarch. That the country expects this, and nothing more, is, perhaps, the most satisfactory feature of the case. We hear nothing of the rights of man, or the unity of Germany, or the fraternity of nations. The Prince of Prussia has shown his dislike of such vagaries by his conduct ten years sinee, and every one believes that if he succeeds to the throne he will be in all these respects as Con servative as the most antiquated official could wish. But, if he is not overrated, ho sees that Prussia requires some kind of national representation and some freedom of speaking and writing ; that the constitution is possible, nay, necessary, and that its working will make the Cabinet of Berlin strong in its dealings with other States. All these are mat ters which, though not unimportant to us, belong principally to the Prussians themselves. But there is one point which concerns Europe generally, and that is the attitude of Prussia in her relations with foreign countries. It is reasonably expected that the new ruler will show himself less obedient to the Court of St. Petersburg, and more anxious to give his country a high place in Europern concerns. If the change of Sovereigns brings about nothing but the revolt of Prussia against Muscovite domi nation it will have effected much. The Prince of Prussia will without difficulty find men to carry out a wiser and more courageous policy ; perhaps, indeed, he may discover his readiest instruments among those who are now wavering. between the desire to worship the rising sun and their fidelity to an antiquated and spiritless system.—Tinzes. PHOTOGRAPHING THE COMET. During the months preecdinF March last great preparations were being made in the photographic ig hy.

To take a view of the comet by means of photo graphy, we are of opinion that an astronomical telescope would not be sufficient, both because the light would be too feeble, and because the field of view would be so very limited, not embracing more than about a degree, while the comet extends over nearly 30 degrees. We think that a portrait com bination of as large an aperture and as long focus as could be obtained, would answer the purpose best, if means were taken to neutralise the move ment consequent upon the rotation of the earth, by mounting it equatorially, and driving it by clockwork, or similar power, as in many astrono mical telescopes. It is not to be expected that per sons could in any moderate time fit up a camera in this way, but there are in England many telescopes mounted as above, and all that would be requisite would be to fasten the camera on to the telescopic tube, so that it could be driven by the same ma chinery. At present the nucleus of the comet is as bright as a star of the first magnitude, and would probably produce an impression on a sensitive col lodion plate in the fraction of a second ; but many ' minutes exposure would, doubtless, be required to obtain an impression of its tail.—Photograi3hic News. rkat, is 6d 3s Od ;and to be oOd oOd 0 7d Beale, con tions. rivals 0 are ;.
