There are some people who have not discretion enough to know when they have said enough on any given .subject, and Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH seems to be one of these. Not content with the excite ment produced by his first letter, he has written another to the Beehive, in which he reiterates his charges against the aristocracy, and renews his comments on the Jamaica question generally. It is much to he regretted that he should have adopted this course, because some are sure to be influenced in a wrong direction by his extravagant assertions, and in many respects it is undesirable that the jar gon about class against class should be carried on. Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH is the most vehement and vituperative of all the orators who have de claimed about the Jamaica business, and yet we have had most fierce invectives and indignant re joinders on all sides. Why he should rush in at the eleventh hour and excite himself after this fashion it is difficult to say ; but so it is, and the result is to be regretted. Unfair and unseemly as the course pursued by the Jamaica Committee and their friends and coadjutors has been, it is not likely to be so mischievous in its tendency or effects as the style taken up .by Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH. He seems to be endeavouring to excite and inflame the passions of the lower orders against their rulers, because of the tyranny of their superiors; and in every respect, social, political, and moral, this is to be deplored. It is, indeed, hardly to be credited that a man of education and experience should so misrepresent things, and seek to convince the people of this country that they are in a state of bondage. Only the very ignorant or the very prejudiced can be led away by such language as that in which he concludes his letter, telling them that they have before them the alternative of remaining " quietly in a state of dependence, not to provoke the anger of their masters by attempting to rise above their previous social and political condition, "or else to "take themselvento a country where all are of the same flesh and blood, and where public justice and the laws of humanity alike protect the liberties and lives of all." Can anything be more ridiculous than this, or more unreasonable either? The proposition for the working men of England to leave the country to the " masters," is one of those peculiar suggestions which it is difficult to treat in a becoming spirit. It is an insult to the intelligence of those he addresses, when he goes on to tell them that they are in great danger from the state of our institutions, and that they may expect they will be trampled on in a " sudden outbreak of oligarchic bloodthirstiness," and the House of Commons in a fit of panic and rage " will sweep away in a night, by a suspension of the standing orders, all our boasted securities for public liberty and estab lish a reign of terror." Mr. GOLDWIN Slim' goes back to the "Peterloo massacre" and stigmatises the conduct of the Tory Ministry of that day who encouraged all the military proceedings. The fact is that Mr. SMITH is trying too much in his endeavour to mix up the recent occurrences in Jamaica with the infamous conduct which he thinks we shall meet with from Parliament and the autho- The upshot of his tirade seems to be that in time we shall see " martial law " in this country. The example of the planter Parliament of Jamaica will, he thinks, be followed by our English House of Commons, and from that supposition he draws a fearful picture of misrule and cruelty. In all that he says, the writer seems to have before him the object of exciting the indignation of the working classes of this country, and opening their eyes to the grievous burdens they have to bear. Such an undertaking is a most dangerous one. He may be, and we trust he is, ignorant of the harm I.kely to ensue from such ill-advised attempts ; but, if he is, the sooner he enlightens him self the better for all parties, the more creditably it will be to his own reputation, and the more pro fitable to those who listen to his words. It is most reprehensible for those who have knowledge to mis lead the ignorant, most injurious for those belong ing to the well-to-do classes to put one set of men against the other, and most deplorable for those gifted with any powers of learning and eloquence to employ them to wrong purposes. There is a great deal too much done and said in these days to influence the lower orders to make them discontented with their position, and indignant with their superiors in station. The folly and pe rvers i ty exh ib ited b y some in this Jamaica affair has, indeed, been extraordi nary, and to make political capital out of it at home is quite contemptible. Such attempts are treated with the indifference that they deserve by the ex perienced, but the ignorant and infatuated are apt to be misled by them, and therefore we would caution them not to pay attention to those ill-advised agitators who confuse themselves in their endea vours to allay the authorities until they make charges and assertions that have no foundation but in their own fancy. ritics. A monopoly is universally admitted to be a very bad thing, except by those who are directly con cerned in its maintenance, and the whole tendency of O ur legjslation has been for some time past directed against it. There are, however, two im portant exceptio ns to the general system of free com petition and unrestricted improvement within the area of our own metropolis, and these are no less than the gas and water supplies of Loudon. The citizens of the modern Babylon have been fretting under the burden for some time, but with the cha racteristic pa ti en ce or dilatoriness of th e nation they willhave b r ingb contentedaout a changethemselv in the gasesmithgrun aThalrirngu. What gements iswe shall a h v a e ve tau to ght wait us until uncertain, a fewnights but probably oftot i s al darkness that it is scarcely prudent to depe nd on limited and localised sources of supply. The water question ' likely to gain more direct and imm ediate at tention, thanks to a very painful teacher. The late visitation of cholera in the east of London has roused us from our lethagry, and although it was well known that impure water was a fertile source of the disease, the full extent of the danger seems never t) have been realised until now. The Regis trar-General has from the first busied himself in tracing out the connection between the impure con dition of the water supplied to the infected dis. tricts and the virulence of the disease in those localitiei. The companies have no doubt done their best in filtering their water, at great cost and labour, but the whole system is radically defective, and it 0 rhoods source is the o s f y s to m disease of cannot be l ong b efore we have a wholesome reform. neigh O bo ur fruitful u in storing the poor er wate r . The Medical Press , • • ~ in wr iti ng on this subject re cently, says--" One of the most urgent of all sani tary reforms needed is the total abolition of the cistern, and a constant supply of water at high pressure." The water-butts aul ns in small and ill-kept houses, crowded with hallo. ..tants whose ignorance and destitution encourage habits of dirt and negligence, are powerful allies to typhus fever and cholera. It is very easy to preach to the poor about the importance of temperance, but if they are to turn water drinkers they must at least have pure water to drink, for bad water, among its train of attendant evils, encourages gin drinking. The Secretary to the Metropolitan Free Drinking Fountains Association,. writing upon the deficiencies of the supply in poor localities, says that L" much wretchedness, misery, and wickedness are endured by the resident poor in some of the densely-popu'ated parishes of the me tropolis, in consequence of the entire dependence upon an intermittent supply of water, the limited means which they have at their disposal for storing a sufficient quantity for daily use, and the absence of any public street supply." The water pipes are, it is true, laid on, but the water itself is only supplied during a very limited time, and generally about half an hour in the day, and not at all on Sundays ; and thus if a leaky cistern, a deficient water butt, or the absence of both, prevents them from storing up a sufficiently large quantity they have to go without till the next supply. The good old-fashioned idea of a Saturday's cleaning and wash ing ready for Sunday is thus defeated, since it is ne cessary to be sparing of the water, which mustlast two days instead of one. But supposing the family has enough tubs and waterbutts to preserve water for comfortable use during the 24 hours, it is anything but a healthy mode of preserving it. " Even when cisterns and water butts are sound, and every drop of water that is caught during the preciou half hodr can be harvested for use, imperfect ventilation or sewage, and the fetid atmosphere of a crowded dwelling soon poisons the whole, and converts what should be a preservative to life and health into an actualsource of fever and death." The well-known habit of putting a pail of water in a room where there is a smell of paint or• any other offensive odour bears testimony to the folly and danger of keeping stagnant water in open receptacles for family use. The pumps were not much better, for Dr, LETHEBY stated, that of thirty-six pumps which formerly existed iu the city scarcely one supplied water fit to drink. In some notable instances the pumps became centres of disease and death, and the poor, to quote again from the Report, " were left to choose between the poison of the pumps and the poison of their own foul tanks and cisterns." To provide against this great and potent evil the Free Drinking fountains were established, and their wonderful success has amply proved how much they were needed. The first free fountain was erected on Snow-hill by Mr. SAMUEL GURNEY, M.P., in 1859, and as many as 5,000 persons were found to drink at it daily. The working men of the neighbourhood presented a memorial to Mr. GURNEY thanking him for the gift, and begging him to secure the erection of other fountains in different parts of London. This, as we all know, has been done, and the association has now erected nearly one hundred fountains, in addition to undertaking the supervi sion of a great number erected by private bene volence. The extent to which wayfarers avail themselves of these fountains will surprise many who are unacquainted with the statistics of the association. The number of persons who drank at the Bishopsgate fountain during the 24 consecutive hours from 11 a.m., July 4, 1865, to 11 a.m., July sth, was 6,666. At the London-bridge fountain a similar watch was kept during 24 consecutive hours, the result being the computation of 3,176 drinkers. At the Royal Exchange and Snow-hill fountains the numbers were respectively 5,603 and 2,647. These amounts are very large, and some of the days were by no means likely to encourage a large at tendwace. The 3,176 who drank at London-bridge were reckoned during a day of cold east wind, with showers. The 2,647 at Snow-hill belonged to a similarly unfavourable day. When we remember the great numbers of persons walking great dis tances in London, and the wretched supplies of the poorer classes, we shall not be surprised at these numbers. It cannot be very long before our water supply is altogether reorganised, and this is a blessing which we may hope the cholera will have brought in its train; but even with a purer and more constant house supply, there will always be wanderers and wayfarers in our busy thorough fares, who will gratefully seek the aid of the drink ing fountain. The association have wisely and kindly endeavoured to benefit the lower creatures by the addition of troughs for horses, cattle, and dogs to their larger fountains. This is a very sen sible and humane provision, and, so far as dogs are concerned, may tend greatly to diminish the risk of hydrophobia —a disease scarcely known in hotter climates where a systematic provision of water is made for the poor creatures. Every step made in the development of our sanitary knowledge tends to increase our estimate of the importance of pure air and pure water. With these many evils may pass lightly by ; without them, it is not too much to say, public health is impossible. In wait ing, then, for legislative interference in the matter of metropolitan water supply, • let us each do what we can to - assist and second the efforts of the Free Drinking Fountains Association to supply the wants and relieve the sufferings of man and beast. * Seventh Annual Report. Office, Shorter's-court. We shall speedily see a repetition of the old game in Berlin, and the last news is that the Go vernment will in all probability dissolve the Cham ber in the event of the Deputies rejecting the Loan Bill in the form decided upon by the Cabinet. This is certainly very likely to take place, and will be a convincing proof of the mistake of those who deem that we are on the eve of a new era far Germany —that a great national regeneration will take place, and unity exist everywhere. If such tyranny is to be seen in the capital of the favoured country itself, -what are the offshoots and aliens to expect ? Whether they rely upon the justice, or trust in the mercy of the Berlin Government, we expect that they will find the result about the same. As for Saxony, the Prussians insist upon having the control of 1 ;a11 the military affairs, which, of course, will be the virtual extinction of the little kingdom, so far as its independence is concerned. Such a systematic course of opposition, and such a wholesale appro priation of the rights and property of others have not been witnessed in Europe for many generations, and it cannot surely be allowed long to con tinue to flourish and thrive. Either France will interfere, or the Germans themselves will rise en masse to protest against the usurpation of heir rights. It will be a very different thing f or he Prusaians to cope with the French to what it has been to fight the Austrians, and they find it far otherwise to suppress a revolution than it was to conquer states and principalities which really cared little or nothing as to whether Austria or Prussia had the ascendancy if their day was to go by in its little state and splendour. The French are now contemplating the probability of the annexation of Belgium. This has been talked about so much lately that it betokens the existence of some danger. If such a thing is iu consideration it will be to this country that Belgium must look for support, and we trust that she will not do ao iu vain. The re-organisation of him. the Fench army is not now deemed advisable, so we may presume that it has been found in a toler able state of preparation. With one thing and another the aspect of Continental affairs is bad enough, and it is disheartening to find a sanguinary war has produced no satisfactory 'results, while the schemes for the re-organising the Constitution of the Great German Empire are based on such false principles that the whole work must, sooner or later, meet the dissolution it deserves. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Moniteur states that the ratification of the treaties concluded on the 18th August last between the Governments of Oldenbourg, S axe W e i mar, Brunswick, Anhalt, Altenbourg, the two Schwartz bourgs, Waldeck, the two Lippes, Cobourg, Rcuss (younger branch), and the Hanseatic took place on Saturday last. The ratification of the treaty with the two Principalities of Mecklenbourg took place on Monday. The Opinion Nationale having expressed its belief that Prussia was not disposed to consult the popula tions of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein to ascertain their wishes in regard to their desire to be incorporated with Germany, the Siecle takes up the subject, and says it believes the fears of the former journal to be unfounded. Southern Holstein and Schleswig, it says, have manifested their desire for the incorporation in a way which precludes any doubt upon the point, but there is less probability in re gard to the views of Northern Schleswig. The rights of those who may desire to return to the dominion:of the laws of the Danish Monarchy are guaranteed by Article 5 of the treaty signed at Prague on the 23d of August last. This treaty abandons to Prussia the Duchies of Holstein and Schleswig " with the reservation that the popula tions of the northern districts of Schleswig, should they express the desire by free suffrage to belong to Denmark, may be ceded to that State." The Cabinet of Berlin in deciding upon the annexations ought to have made the measure dependent upon the broad principle of universal suffrage. This principle is recognised without restriction in the electoral law definitively arranged by the Commis sion of the Prussian Chamber for the Parliament of the Confederation of the North. The Chantilly autumn races, under the auspices of the Society for the Encouragement of Horse racing, will take place next Sunday. The follow ing is the programme of the day :—Prix de Bois Roussel, 5,000 f., for horses of four years old ; Premier Criterium, 2,000 f., for two-year-old poneys ; Prix de Slyvie, 2,000 f. ; Deuxiene Cri terium, 2,000 f. ; Prix de Chantilly, 10,000 f., for horses of three years old and upwards. Ten horses are entered for this race, including Florentine, Gontran, Affidavit, and Etoile Filante. The following account respecting the cholera in Paris is given officially by the authorities :—The cholera first made its appearance in the month of July. The disease reached its maximum in a few days, but the highest amount of the mortality in the hospitals and in the city did not exceed 150 a day. At the end of July the epidemic diminished sensibly. The average number of deaths in the hos pitals was during the month of August, 23 per day. It was only 15 per day during the first nine days of September. It will be seen, according to these totals, that, taking into account the population of Paris (1,667,841 inhabitants), that the epidemic did not prevail to a great extent in Paris, and ac cording to all appearances it will have ceased to exist in the capital in a few days. In a city like Paris, where there is an immense population of working men, the hospitals afford the best criterion for judging of the importance and state of the epidemic. As to the deaths in the city the number was never considerable, and since the first of Sep tember they have declined to an average of 22 per day. It is stated that the cholera has quite dis appeared from Amiens. There has been a lamentable case of assassination at Melun, at the hotel called the Grand Monarque. The proprietor, M. Martin, a man of about 55, seems to have been much respected. Among the persons who frequent the hotel is M. Latouche, a rich proprietor of the neighbourhood. He became intimate with M. Martin, and it seems lent him a good deal of money. M. Latouche went several times to M. Martin to obtain the repayment of the money lent, but unsuccessfully. He went on the same errand on Sunday last, when an excited con versation arose, and M. Latouche in a state almost of madness at not being able to get his money, seized upon a kitchen knife which was in the room, and plunged it into the stomach of M. Mar tin with such violence that the intestines protruded, and he died almost instantaneously. The assassin endeavoured to commit suicide with the knife, but was prevented by the servants, who rushed in at hearing the noise. The account adds that the occur rence has created great gloom at Melun, where M. Martin is gretly regretted. According to report, the King of Hanover is coming to Paris next month on a visit to the Emperor. Although incendiarism is not visited with capital punishment in England except in the case of setting fire to a house which is known to be occupied, the crime is still. punished with death in France. A young man of 22, named George Tellier, has just been condemned to death by the Court of Assize of the Seine, for setting fire to the manufactory of M. Bessou at Asnieres, near Paris. It was totally con sumed, and the loss is estimated at 100,000 f., inde pendently of the injury which will be sustained by M. Bessou from the cessation of his business. The prisoner had been in M. Bessou's service, and he committed the act because he had been discharged for misconduct. Lieut. Chatel, Knight of the Legion of Honour, Lieut. of the First Class in the 4th Regiment of the Line, in garrison at the fort of Cha renton; has been tried by a Council of War of Paris, on the charge of having left his regiment without permission, and being absent for more than six days. This officer served in the Crimea and has a medal from the Queen of England. The prisoner's advocate did not deny the truth of the charge, but he urged the Court not to dishonour a brave soldier by condemning him. His client, the advocate said, was "indiscreet," not guilty. Ile was too fond of pleasure, which had led him into debt and difficulty, and he could not resist the temp tation of absenting himself. The Court, by a ma jority of four against three, found that the prisoner was not guilty, and he was set at liberty. The weather has been finer to-day, bnt there was little sunshine and rather violent wind. The Obser vatory calculations presage storms in the Channe and on the coasts of England. It is stated that the continued and heavy rains have done much injury to the potatoes. The temperature to-day was agreeable, but lower than the usual average at this season. The Grand Duchess Maria of Russia is in Paris, and was present with Baron de Budberg, the Rus sian Ambassador, at a grand religious ceremony at the Russian Church, on Monday. A too clever swindler, a g entlemanly-dressed young man named Henri Gerdelet, has been con demned by the Tribunal o f the Seine to five years' imprisonment and ten y ears ' sur veillance of the police, for attempting t o s t ea l a I,ooof. note from a money chang er o f th e r a l a i s Royal. He went into the shop an d sa id h e wan t e d a 1,0001. note, but it must be quite new and particularly clear. He was a ph o t ograp h er, and he w i s hed to have a p h otographic representation of it to exhibit to his customers. Th e moment t h e no t e was placed in his hand he ran off, but the money changer caught hini after a smart race. A man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of the woman Annette Tisseraut, in the Rue du Ponthicu, but the police have discharged The Government contract for 54,000 gallons of rum for the navy ryas this day taken by Messrs. Lemon, Hart, and Son. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) BOMBAY MAIL. ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 12. The Massilia and Syria left at 11.30 a.m. to-day.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 13. Intelligence received here from Syria states that the tribe of the Bedouins, which had been expelled from Hatirar on the 3d inst., has effected a junction with the Druses. The combined forces have defeated the troops of the Government, inflicting upon them a loss of ten killed. The Druse chief, Ismail Atrach, has invaded the Lebanon. Fifteen Maronites were killed in the attack, and Joseph Karane has been wounded. THE AUSTRO-ITALIAN PEACE NEGO- CIATIONS• FLORENCE, Sept. 13 (Evening). Intelligence received here from Vienna of to day's date announces that the Italian and Austrian plenipotentiaries are agreed upon all points except the luestion of the debt. It is believed that Austria will accept the precedent afforded by the treaty of Zurich without restriction, in accordance with the treaties concluded by Austria with Prussia and France. The special debt of Venetia will thus alone pass to the charge of Italy as that of Lombardy in 1859. The signature of the Austrian-Italian treaty of peace is expected to take place in a few days. ITALY. HEALTH OF KING VICTOR EMMANUEL FLORENCE, Sept. 14. The King of Italy has left for the Castle of Sommariva, in Piedmont for the benefit of his health. His Majesty will return to Padua at the end of the month. FRANCE, PARIS, Sept. 14. The Moniteur of this morning says :—" The Emperor of Mexico had entrusted the Portfolio for War to General Osmond, and that of Finance to M. Friand, Chief Superintendent of the French Army in Mexico.

BERLIN, Sept. 12. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued the following General Order to the Second Army upon its return home : " Peace with Austria is concluded. A campaign as brilliant as any chronicled in history has been brought to a victorious conclusion in less than three months. Prussia's reputation and position are greatly increased, and, so God will, the foundations of a successful and happy development of the future of Germany have been gained. " The Second Army has had a decisive share in the result of this campaign. By the engagements of Nachod and Skalitz, of Schweinschadel, Soor, and Koniginhof, we had at one and the same time preserved the fine province of Silesia from hostile invasion, had beaten four Austrian army corps in succession, and had effected our junction with the First Army. when the honour fell to our lot of de ciding the victory of the famous battle of Konig gratz, gained under our Sovereign's chief com mand. When afterwards, untiringly and continu ously pursuing the beaten enemy, we had gained several victories at Tobischau and in the vicinity of Olmutz, and had finally arrived before the gates of the enemy's capital, Austria commenced negotia tions for the conclusion of peace. " You may look back upon your exploits with justifiable pride. Each of you has done his duty in the full sense of the term, and the deeds of the Second Army form a worthy pendant to the greatest recorded in our history, so rich in fame and honour. With you I thank God, who has led us on from victory to victory, and conducted us to an honourable peace, after a short and brilliant war. As long as I live, it will always be to me a source of gratification, a dear and ever-memorable recollection to have stood at the head of the brave troops of the Guards, and of the Ist, sth, and Gth Army Corps during this remarkable struggle. " While addressing to my 1 a v And dear Second Army a hearty farewell, I thank the generals and officers, the sub-officers, and soldiers for their valour, endurance, and fidelity, and express the ex pectation that each will be mindful, during peace also, to uphold, uninjured and undiminished, the ancient reputation of the Prussian army, so glori ously displayed anew. " FREDERICK WILLIAM, Crown Prince, General of Infantry, Commander in-Chief of the Second Army Army, Military Governor of Silesia." Preparations are now being rapidly carried on for the triumphal entry of the troops into Berlin, fixed to take place upon the 20th and 21st inst. Addresses to the King will be delivered on the first dey ; on the second a grand Te. Deum will be per formed in the Lustgarten, and the metropolis will be brilliantly illuminated in the evening. The city authorities will give a banquet of 1,000 covers to deputations from the various regiments on the 22d in the Turnhalle. The King and the Princes are are expected to be present upon the occasion. During the entry the troops will be accoutred exactly as they went into action. A commission of architects has been entrusted with the decorative arrangements, to which has been unexpectedly added the construc tion of a large saloon, in which the King is to be received at the banquet at the Turnhalle. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the third week in August amounted to $141,956, against $159,614 in the corresponding week last year, showing a decrease of $17,649. DEATH OF LORD PONSONBY. Lord Ponsonby, Baron Ponsonby, of Imokilly, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, died at Ply mouth on Monday. Ile was on a visit to the port in his yawl yacht, the Lufra, 205 tons register, Pearce, master, on board of which his lordship died as she lay moored in the inner basin of the Great Western Docks. He was formerly an officer in the British army, but had retired from the service seve ral years ago. For some years past he had been more or less an invalid, suffering from disease of the kidneys, which ultimately terminated in the affection known to the medical profession as Bright's disease, from which he died. During the past summer, in order if possible to recruit his health, his lordship took a long cruise in the Lufra in the Mediterranean, and on his return was somewhat better. The Lufra took part in the recent ocean race from Ryde to Plymouth, and was present at the Plymouth Re gatta of this year, in the sports of which his lord ship took a lively interest. Subsequently she visited some other of the western regattas, and then re turned and moored in Plymouth Sound, lying inside Drake's Island. On the sth inst., his lordship's ill ness increasing, Mr. Whipple, surgeon, of Plymouth, was called in, but Lord Ponsonby was then iu a . sinking state, and continued rapidly to get worse. On Friday last, on account of the rough weather, it was found desirable to move the Lufra into the Great Western Docks, and she was towed into the floating basin by a steam tug. HiS lordship was attended during his last few days by Sir Henry Edwards, an intimate friend, who had been cruising with him. Lord Ponsonby was never married, nor has he any brothers living ; the peerage, therefore, becomes extinct. his lordship has, however, a sister living, at present residing on the Continent. The body of the deceased nobleman was enclosed in a leaden and an outer coffin, and the Luffra left Ply mouth with it on Wednesday morning for Vett tnoF, in the isle of Wight, in the churchyard of which a sister of Lord Ponsonby is interred. The late William Brabazon Ponsonby, Baron Ponsonby, of Imokilly, county Cork, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was the only son of the Hon. and Right Rev. Richard Ponsonby, D.D., Lord Bishop of Derry, by Frances, daughter of the Right Hon. John Staples. He ,was born 18th August, 1807, and succeeded his cousin, the third lord, 2d Octo ber, 1861. Death of Geneial Mouravieff. The death of General Mouravieff, so unpleasantly notorious in connexion with the suppression of the last Polish insurrection, has been reported by tele graph. It appears that he died of apoplexy, at his country house, near St. Petersburg, on Tuesday morning. The deceased was a member of an old Russian family, and was born at Moscow in 1793. He entered the military service in 1810, and was for some time attached to the staff of the army of the Caucasus. In 1819 he was entrusted by General Jermoloff with a mission to the Shah of Persia, at Xhiva, the particulars of which he has himself re corded in a pamphlet. Being promoted to the rank of major-general during the war with Persia, he distinguished himself before Kars in 1818, and before Kabla in 1829. In 1830 he actively served in the war with Poland, contributing greatly to the victory of Kazimiez, where his gallantry procured for him the grade of lieutenant-general. Ile commanded the right wing of the army at the capture of Warsaw, and was entrusted in 1832 with the negociation for the suspension of hostilities with Mehemet Ali, Vice roy of Egypt, when he received the command of the troops of the Bosphorus, and in 1835 that of the sth corps of infantry. In 1838 he fell into disgrace with the Czar, owing to certain disorders whi c h h a d broken out in his corps, and for having neglected the care of the defence of Sebastopol. In 1848 he was reinstated in his military position, and became mem ber of the council of war and commander of the grenadiers of the guards. In 1854, on the outbreak of the Crimean war, he was appointed to the com mand of the army in Asia, and after a severe repulse by Sir W. F. 'Williams, before Kars, succeeded even tually in occupying that place on the latter evacua ting it and surrendering as a prisoner of war. At the peace he took the command of the army of the Caucasus, where his operations resulted in breaking the power of Schamyl, who surrendered to one of his officers in 1859. The family of Mouravieff has greatly distinguished itself. One of his brothers is an engineer of reputation, another an eminent author and traveller, and his cousin, also a lieut.-general in the Russian service, has been since 1848 governor of Eastern Siberia, during which time, by his energy and skill, he has opened to Russian enterprise the river of Amor, and added to the empire the pro vinces on its banks. Death of Sir Archibald Islay Campbell. From Glasgow we learn the death of Sir Archi bald Islay Campbell, Bart., which event took place at Garscube House on Tuesday. Sir Archibald had been ailing for some time past, and it was known in Glasgow a day or two ago that he was in a very critical condition, and that little hopes were enter tained of his recovery. The immediate cause of death was congestion of the lungs. The deceased gentle man was born in 1825, and was consequently only in his 41st year. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, and took his degree of B.A. in 1847. Sir Archibald succeeded his grandfather, Sir Archibald Campbell. his great grandfather, Sir Islay Campbell, was Lord President of the Court of Session, with the title of Lord Succoth, before the court was split into two divisions. Like his grand father, he evinced a delicate taste for, and apprecia tion of, the fine arts, as his gallery in Garscube House bears evidence—being one of the finest pri vate collections we believe in Scotland. Sir Archi bald was a member of the committee for the resto ration of the Glasgow Cathedral, to which work he gave a great deal of attention, and contributed in a high degree to the success with which that noble ecclesiastical structure has been decorated. Sir Archibald also took great interest in the affairs of the venerable college, and sat for some time as a member of the University Court. He entered heart and soul into the volunteer movement the moment it was set on foot. He was lieutenant-colonel of th3lst Lanarkshire Volunteers. The deceased baro net was a most amiable, unassuming gentleman, many of the good qualities of the best of the old families—not the least of which were his urbanity of manners to all, and his easy accessibility to the very humblest. Sir Arthibald married, in 1858, the sixth daughter of the Marquis of Westminster, but he has left no issue, and his brother, Captain George Campbell, late of the Ist Dragoons, will heir the title and estates. He sat in Parliament from 1851 to 1857 as member for Argyleshire. .TIIE THAMES EMBANKMENT.—The works at the Thames Embankment, which have been for the past few weeks partially suspended, were resumed yesterday morning with renewed activity, additional stonemasons, bricklayers, and other mechanics, and a largo number of labourers, having been set to work. The filling-in of the space be tween the outer or river wall and the shore is rapidly ap proaching completion, and the construction of the wall on either side of the Waterloo Bridge progresses favourably. In several sections, both in No. 1 and No. 2 contracts, the superstructure and balustrades aro completed, and the new steam-boat piers at Westminster and Waterloo Bridges are in an advanced state. THE LIVERPOOL MURDER COMMITTED FOUR YEARS AGO.—At the Liverpool Police-court yesterday, Robert Reid, a tinker, was brought up on remand, on a charge of stabbing and killing his wife in a court off Thur low-street., Liverpool, in Dec., 18G2. The prisoner was arrested in New York on the 18th of August last by Mars den, a Liverpool detective officer, to whom he made a statement to the effect that he did not use any knife to his wife, and that if he had done so he could not have slept quietly all the same night, as he did, with his brother-in law. After hearing sufficient evidence, Mr. Raffles com mitted the prisoner for trial at the December assizes on a charge of wilful murder. [ADVERTISEMENT]. —Holloway's Ointment . and Pills— Outward Sores.—Daily experience confirms the fact which has triumphed over opposition for thirty years -that no means are known equal to Holloway's remedies for curing bad legs, sores, diseases of the skin, erysipelas, abscesses, burns, scalds, and, in truth, all cases where th e s ki n i s broken. To cure these infirmities quickly is of primary importance, or the compulsory confinement indoors weakens the general health.

Extraordinary Cure. -a- A BOY BITTEN BY AN ADDER CURED BY THE TURKISIi BATH. For the following account of this remarkable case we are indebted to the able Superintendent of the Turkish Baths in Jermyn-street, St. James's : A poor working-man brought his little boy, age d ten years, to the bath on Saturday evening, the Ist inst. The boy had been bitten by an adder on the wrist of his left arm while gathering blackberrie s. Several so-called remedies were resorted to, but still the boy continued to get worse, when the father was advised to try the bath. I received the poor boy and had him undressed at the barrier, and car' ried into the bath. lle was suffering most severely through the adder's bite ; the marks of the a dder's teeth were three-quarters of an inch apart, and about the wound the colour was very black, was caused by being burnt with caustic by th e advice of a surgeon. The poiso n w hi c h the adder had inserted in the wound had ma d e its Way tIP the arm, causing the arm to be greatly s w ollen, an d under and. round the tender part of the arm-Pi there was a very red and inflamed a pp e a r ance, the skin feeling hard and tight a ll over th e affected parts. which After being ten minutes in the hot room the bolt feeling very exhausted, was carried into the linen divan, where he rested for a few minutes, aft er which he was washed and taken into the hot rota again, where he remained another ten minutes. 110 was then carried and placed upon the hot marble when he perspired very freely. Here the poor boy' cried, and called for his father; I sent for the father , when the boy seemed to bear the heat and his suffe r " ings more patiently. From the hot marble he Wa s carried into the middle hot room ; after this he Wa s again washed, and then carried into the radiating room, where he remained about four minutes, whi ll , e had the effect of causing him to perspi r e again. II ! was then carried into the cooling room, w here he we ll " to sleep. At 9 o'clock he was awo k e , and thou gh he seemed very tired and exhausted he said his arm was not so painful, and that he felt better, bu t, at the same time, earnestly implored us not to take him into the hot room again. The bath or the heat which the boy had been subjected to had caused the hard and swollen Par t to feel softer, and had allayed the hiflaM1113 6011 : the red and envenomed appearance being change d to a more natural colour. We felt very anxiou s concerning the case, and advised the father to bring him again early on the following morning (SundaY)• On the following morning he came, and having ea joyed a good night's rest and ate a hearty brea fast, he looked cheerful and better altogether, an soon began to perspire in the bath, and after being in rather more than an hour he seemed altogeth er improved and went away, the father expressing many thanks for our kindness, and promising write and let us know how the boy went on, an d also to express his thanks. H. SMITH, Superintendent . The employer of the boy's father has since then, it appears, written to the Superintendent of the Turkish Bath, announcing the completeness of the cure and the gratitude of the family in the folloW" ing terms : Knapp Hill, near Woking, Surrey, Sept. 12, 186 6 - Dear Sir,—On Saturday, Aug. 25th, I took the liberty of recommending a Mr. Sawyer (journeyman smith), t° take his son to you as ho had been bitten by an adder. ...... . . . . • , Having read in on e o f th e d a ily p apers th a t you ha" bath for cases of hydrophobia, I t oo k th e lib er t y o f s`'Dd ing the above case . . . . . . • And now a word as to this e s p ec i a l case .
