The International Financial Society are authorised to receive Subscriptions for the Share Capital of this Com pany, which has been incorporated by Special Act of Par liament for the purpose of Utilising the Sewage of the Northern. Area of the Metropolis, the. Concession of which has been granted to Messrs. Napier and Hope. The Concession from tho Metropolitan Board of Works to Messrs. Napier and Hope, as now confirmed by Act of Parliament is scheduled to the Act, and both may be in spected at the Offices of the Company. The Concession has been vested in the Company on con dition of the payment to Messrs. Napier and Hope, under the provisions of the Act, of £50,000 in fully paid-up Shares of the Company and a small contingent per-centage of the net profits. The Concession recites that in the opinion of the Board the works proposed by Messrs. Napier and Hope are cal culated to effect the three following objects, namely :- 1. To divert the Sewage from the Thames. 2. To render it innocuous by its application to growing crops. 8: To realise the great money value of the manure con tained in it. The first article c on f ers upon M essrs. N ap i er and Hope " the absolute and exclusive right to and property in the sewage" for a period of 54 years from the passing of the Act, but makes the following provision in reference to the application of the net profits resulting from the scheme after the expiration of four years from the passing of the Act. Previous to the expiration of that period all the profit results to the Company. After deduction of the annual charge for " money bor rowed," and of the " working and establishment expenses," the net profit shall be applied-- 1. In payment of interest at 5 per cent. per annum on the share capital. 2. In payment in equal moieties to the shareholders and the Metropolitan Board of the further profits up to 15 per cent. 3. In division of profits exceeding 15 per cont. and up to 25 per cent. between the shareholders and the Metropolitan Board, in the proportion of one-fourth to the former, and three-fourths to the latter. 4. After 25 per cent. the division again to become equal. The olject of these stipulations is, that while the Metro politan Board are virtually to receive half the profits, yet, that, in order to give a greater security, and therefore greater value to the shares, the shareholders are to have a preference to the extent of 5 per cent., which is made good to the Metropolitan Board between the points of 15 and 25 Per cent., at which latter point each party receives 12i per cent., and the divi s i on i s th en cont i nued equally. Thus, the share capital of the Company derives the advantage of the entire capital, approaching three millions sterling, ex tended by the Board on the north side of the Thames, for the collection of the Sewage at the point of its delivery to the Company. At the expiration of 34 years the Board have the right, oh qiving two year' notice to requir a revi tration. of the above apportionment of e profits.sion by arbi- The Concession stipulates for the construction of a circu lar brick culvert, 9 feet 6 inches in diameter, shown by the red line on the accompanying map, and running from the Northern Outfall Sewer to the East Coast of Essex, and further, for the reclamation of the tract of foreshore and. M ud, coloured pi n k on the map (about 7,000 acres),the in tenhi tion being to irri ga t e t h e lands in the district through which the culvert passes, and to utilise the surplus upon the reclaimed land. A contract has been entered into with Mr. Wm. Webster (who has constructed more than one-third of the main arahlage work of the metropolis, including the Crossness yutfall), for the construction of the work mentioned above, t og,ether £lB with the nec essary pumping stations, for the sum to M c.f se ,53 , 4 48.

The Act authorises the Directors to raise -Ts amount of £700,000 in debentures, but of this, as above 6° ‘; ) rn, only £300,000 will in all probability be required. Ihe Company have the right of taking, without any pay 2.nent, during the first four years, as much of the sewage as 'Ploy can utilise. From this source an immediate return may be obtained, so that the return upon capital during consd tr uction should be much in exce ss o f th e i nterest pro vide. On payment on the 2d October next of the £lO per Cer tificate then due the Certificates of £lOO will be exchanged for Registered Shares of £lO each. According to the calculations made the eventual revenue of the Company is estimated at about £720,000, and the Working expenses and management at £50,000. B A pp lic ations in th e annexed form shouldbe left with the aners, who will not, however, receive any applications *unless accompanied by a deposit of £2 per certificate on the number of certificates applied for. In cases where no allotment is made the deposit will be returned in full, and should a smaller number than is applied for be alloted the balance returnable to the applicant will be applied towards payment of the amount due on allotment. In cases where an allotment is made the deposit paid on application will be liable to forfeiture if the balance due on allotment be not paid within the term fixed by the letter of allotment, and the allotment will be liable to cancellation. Default by sub scribers in due payment of the £lO per scrip certificate, pay able on 2d October, 1865, will, in like manner, render the scrip certificates subject to cance ll at i on, and the amount theretofore paid thereon to forfeiture.

The only question in regard to the Sewage of London being, as the " Times" says, whether that value is " £400,000 or £4,000,000 a year." This latter figure is the estimate of Baron Liebig and the Corporation of the City of London for the Sewage of both sides of the metropolis, or, .roughly, about £2,666,666, as the yearly value of that portion of the Sewage which has become the property of the Company by virtue of their agreement with Messrs. Napier and Hope ; but the Direc tors concur with these gentlemen in believik that this es timate is greatly exaggerated. However, the culvert which the Directors have contracted for is of an internal diameter of 10 feet, instead of 9 feet 6 ; and by means of the greater carrying power thus obtained, together with the means at their disposal for storing the sewage in the reservoirs of the Metropolitan Board, they will be enabled to utilise at least 120,000,000 tons of Sewage per annum, and from this they look for an eventual net profit to be divided with the board of upwards of £650,000 a year. The experience of 40 years' application of sewage upon pure sea sand, and other soils, near Edinburgh, and of seve ral years upon various soils near Croydon, shows that when the Company's operations are fully developed and in full working, the return from the Company's own land should be not less than £210,000, and this would absorb 35 mil lions of tons of Sewage, leaving 85 millions available for sale to the farmers along the line of' culvert, which in the same ratio of value would produce not less than £510,000 a year, making a total of £720,000 ; and this figure is singularly borne out by the experience and opinions of those most conversant with the subject, and is quite within the estimates given in evidence before the Houses of Par liament. One farmer, Mr. Wagstaff, of South Oxendon, who farms 1,200 acres on the line of culvert, stated upon oath that he would be prepared to give twopence per ton for such quantities of the Sewage as it suited him to take —a value strongly insisted upon by many high authorities; at which rate the yearly value of the whole would be no less than One Million Sterling. • Another rough estimate of the realisable value of Sew age which has been given in evidence by many authorities, namely, one penny per ton all round, would produce £500,000 a year, so that the estimated return of £720,000 arrived at by independent calculations is as near as possible the mean between these two estimates.

In introducin F the General Estates Company (Limited) to the public, it is with a view to acquiring and developing (by means of subdivision or improvement) all descriptions of landed property in or near London, and creating ground rents by judicious advances to respectable contractors or builders, under certificates of the Company's surveyor, and generally to carry out all those matters in connection with land which the Directors may deem to be of a profit able character. It is generally known that investments of this descrip tion when carefully made, even in private hands and with limited means, are usually very remunerative, but the real value of such enterprises are best understood from the re sults of some of the recently-formed companies for similar purposes, one having lately declared a dividend of 20 per per cent. out of realised profits. With a view to successfully commencing operations, the directors have entered into provisional agreements for im mediately purcuastug pia inupol tiers, un much actrantaseQue terms that they are at once in receipt of a very considerable income, irrespective of the greatly increased profits to be derived from the further development of these estates. The subjoined report of Messrs. Leifchild and Cheffins, the well-known surveyors, will show that the directors have been careful not to enter into even provisional con tracts without the assistance of professional advice, and they are sanguine that from these arrangements alone a dividend of at least 10 per cent. can be paid out of actual profits at an early date. A fair proportion of shares having already been privately subscribed for, the remainder are now offered to the public, and the directors believe that this undertaking contains considerable elements of commercial success. No promotion money will be paid for establishing the Company; the actual amount incidental to its formation being the only expense incurred. The articles of association are ready, and can be in spected on application at the office of the solicitors. All applications for shares must be made accompanied by the deposit of £1 per share ; but in the event of no allot ment being made, the amount so paid will be returned without deduction. _ _ - . Prospectuses, with forms of application for shares, can be had of the bankers and broker; and of the secretary, at the Company's offices. TO THE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS OF THE GENERAL ESTATES COMPANY (Limited). Report upon Freehold an d L ease h o ld E states i n the C ity of London, and in the County of Surrey. The properties in the City compr sei several blocks of offices, chambers, and warehouses, in excellent situations, near the Bank, the Exchange, and the principal marts of commerce. Most of them have been recently rebuilt, and they com bine in themselves all the modern requirements of business, with ample light, complete ventilation, and the utmost facility of access. They are all let (except o ne p ro p er ty which is not yet completed), and produce at present an annual rental of considerable amount, with a sure addition when the offices above alluded to are finished and let, and many, offers to rent have been already received. It is be lieved that the present rental will be considerably increased at the termination of the present short tenancies. The estates in Surrey are in a healthy and popular neigh bourhood, and possess the great advantage of ready and frequent access by railway to the City and West-end. One of them is laid out for building purposes of the first class, and is making very satisfactory progress ; roads have been formed and sewers made, several houses have been already built, and many others are in course of erec tion. A rent arising from ground rents has already P and is gradually increasing. This propertylong term, at a peppercorn ren t.

GUIDE TO TIM QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the" 31edical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. Tho reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences. and more money by menaces and extortion. fi um green young men. For their names, which " Punch" would not advertise, he has referred h!s readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Kr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list or these miscreants. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in LI e pamphl. t above referred to, which is entitled Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street. Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrou3 impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do , - the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " aevelations of Quacks and Qackery."

CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—Mr. Young, of Wisbeach, has announced himself a candidate in the Liberal interest, and as an independent supporter of the present Administration.

Mr. Eliot Yorke has withdrawn his candidature. Mr. H. Z. Adeane (Liberal) and Lord George J. Manners (Conservative) are the other candidates. COVENTRY.—Mr. Flower, late mayor of Stratford on-Avon, has published an address offering himself as a candidate in the Liberal interest. Mr. Mason Jones again stands on Radical principles, and the two former members seek re-election. GREAT YARMOUTH.—On Saturday Mr. J. C. Marshman, one of the Liberal candidates for this borough, retired from the contest. He announced that the struggle had imposed a greater strain upon him than he was able to sustain. Mr. Philip Van derbyl, a London merchant and shipowner, has issued an address, soliciting the votes of the elec tors in connection with Mr. Brogden. He is a sup porter of Lord Palmerston. The Conservative can didates, Sir E. K. Lacon and Mr. Y. Goodson, say they are confident of success. GUILDFORD.—Mr. Pocock, the Liberal candidate, who comes forward to oppose Mr. Bovill, Q.C., the former Conservative member, on Friday evening addressed a large meeting, at which he was enthu siastically received, and a resolution adopted to the effect that, recognising in Mr. Pocock a fit and worthy exponent of the Liberal cause, those present pledged themselves to use every endeavour to secure his return, in conjunction with Mr. 0-. M. E. On slow, the former Liberal member. Mr. Bovill, during his canvass, has asked those who decline to vote for him to plump for Mr. Onslow. In answer to this, Mr. Pocock has issued a second address, in which he warns the electors not to fall into the snare which Mr. Bovill has set for them, by soliciting their votes in favour of one Liberal candidate only. He pledges himself to vote for the ballot. MANCHE S TER.—Yesterday morning was published an address by Mr. Edward James, in which that gentleman offers himself as a candidate to repre sent the city of Manchester in the new Parliament. Ile declares himself a staunch Liberal, and says : " I think that the suffrage may be safely, and therefore ought to be, considerably extended." He thinks the Church may rely on her own resources, and that the universities should be opened to all. In the course of the morning Mr. James addressed the electors in the Corn Exchange. In: expounding his political principles he affirmed that he had never known any Administration which so well managed the affairs of the country as that which now held office. He was a follower of its policy, He was prepared to extend the franchise as fully as was consistent with safety to all. He would give it to all who by education, intellect, and position were qualified to exercise it. He would Make it as comprehensive as possible, taking care not to give it to one party 80 as to swamp the rest. He would support the ballot, seeing the necessity for it, The ballot should be made permissive. A Vdie Was agreed to, declaring that Mr. James was a fit and proper person to represent the city, and pledging those present to support him. There are now four candidates—Mr. Bazley, one of the former Members, Mr. A. Heywood, and Mr. Jacob Bright. MintiLtsEft.--Mr, II C. Hanbury and Viscount Enfield, the late members, addressed a meeting of the electors last night at Jack Straw's Castle, Hampstead-heath. Both gentlemen, having spoken to their political views, replied to a great number of questions addressed to them by the electors, who finally passed unanimously a reso lution declaratory of renewed confidence, and re tading the organisation of a committee to take all necessary and expedient itteasures for s ecuring the election of the two candidates. Lord nattela g h is their opponent on Conservative principles. NonroLK (KssT).—Yesterday Mr. Clare Read declared himself a candidate for the representation of this division on independent principles , There are now in the field, besides Mr. Read, Colonel Coke (Liberal), and Mr. Howe (Conservative), the former members, and S ir Henry Stracey (Conser vative), who may possibly be opposed by Sir Fowell Buxton (Liberal), should he determine, as reported, to relinquish his candidature for Lynn Regis to fight a battle for his party in East Norfolk. Nonwl CH.—Considerable excitement has been occasioned at Norwich by a statement that Air. R. E. C. Waters, one of the Conservative candidates, had been compelled to leave the Reform Club on a charge of cheating at cards. At a meeting of the Liberals on Friday evening a letter was read from Mr, John Bright, in which that gentleman observed :—" He applied to me to get into the Reform Club, and he got in, although I did not either propose or second him. After a time, he was itemised of cheating at cards, and was obliged to leave the club to avoid being publicly expelled. lie should be driven out of your city if there are any honest men among the Conservatives in it." On Saturday Mr. Waters issued an address, in which he stated, " My committee have in their possession written proof that, in the judgment of gentlemen of high position and character, members of the Reform Club and perfectly acquainted with the facts, the circumstances attending my voluntary withdrawal from that club, have in no way affected my honour and character as a gentleman." Mr. Waters also stated that he had ordered legal proceedings to be immediately taken against Sir W. Foster and the Rev. G. Gould, two of the Libera l leaders, for their slanderous imputations on his personal character. Yesterday morning eight gentlemen of the. Conser vative party issued an address to the effect that the charges should be instantly investigated, and that Dr. Dalrymple and Mr. Tillett (Liberals), and Mr. Patteson and Mr. Field (Conservatives), had left for London, to examine the books of the Reform Club, and communicate the result to the local public. On the return of these gentlemen from London last night it was at once made known that they had examined the book of minutes at the Reform Club, and that the record there, in their estimation, substantiated the imputation which had been made against Mr. Waters. OXFORD COUNTY.—Sir Henry William Dash wood, Bart., of Kirtlington Park, who, it has been stated, would be brought forward at the last moment in opposition to Colonels Fane and North, has to-day issued' the following address to the elec tors :—" Gentlemen,—Having this morning seen an advertisement in the Oxford Chronicle stating that I am to be brought forward as a candidate for your suffrages at the coming election, I take the liberty of addressing you most earnestly to request- that I may not be nominated on the present occasion, and to state that, although I am deeply sensible of the kind feeling which has prompted this proceeding, I shall, if nominated, respectfully decline the honour intended me. Having also seen it suggested that I decline coming forward in consequence of having made a compromise with the Conservatives, I beg moat distinctly to state that I am no party to any such compromise, and am not aware of any having been made. After having consulted with many of the most influential gentlemen who honoured me with their support at the last election for this county, I have come to the conclusion that on this occasion it will not be advisable to involve the county in the expense and turmoil of a contested election." PORTSMOUTII.—The contest here is being actively prosecuted, although the Liberal party are confident of their ability to return Messrs. Gaselee and Stone. On Friday an enthusiastic meeting of electors took place, whereat Mr. Gaselee addressed his sup porters. The late riotous demonstration of some sailors on behalf of Sir Jas. Elphinstone was spoken of with great indignation, and a particular reference was made to the part which Sir James Elphinstone had taken when the Tory Reform Bill, on which Lord Derby's Administration was overthrown in 1859, was before the House of Commons. A clause in that bill provided that any person employed in any Government arsenal, dockyard, &c., should not be capable of giving his vote at any election for county, city, or borough, within which such dock yard, &c., shall be situated, and imposed heavy penalties for any infraction of the provision. For this measure Sir James Elphinstone voted, and yet he could now style himself " Elphinstone, the friend of the dockyard men." The nomination takes place to-day and the polling to-morrow. SANDWICH.—The reply of Admiral Dacres to the requisition addressed to him, begging that he would become a candidate for this borough, was a telegram couched in the following terms :—" I have no wish to be returned. I have decided against being returned to Parliament at this juncture; and I feel I could not represent the opinions of the gentlemen who wished me to come forward." Mr. Alan Cameron Bruce, of Exeter College, Oxford, a barrister, at once declared him self a candidate on Conservative principles, and on Saturday commenced his canvas. In the evening he went to Deal and addressed a meeting of the constituency. He expounded his political principles at great length, and detailed the circumstances which had induced him to come forward. He was well received by a crowded assemblage. Mr. Cap per, who is also a candidate for the votes of the Con servative party, did not address the electors. TAUNTON.—The retirement of Mr. Arthur Mills, who since 1859 has represented Taunton in the Conservative interest, has brought forward a second Conservative candidate in the person of Mr. Alfred Austin, who has issued an address offering himself to the choice of the electors. Mr. E. W. Cox and Mr. Austin will thus contest both seats with Lord W. Hay and Mr. C. Barclay, the Liberal candi dates. Mr. Austin, in his address, says, " The chief aim of the present Cabinet, whilst allowing its sup porters unbridled licence to be spuriously Liberal in speech, has been to prove itself in conduct spuriously Conservative. By these means it has succeeded in confusing and discrediting useful party distinctions." He promises shortly to declare what he conceives to be real Conservative princi ples, but for the present he briefly states, " That whilst I am an honest and ardent advocate of entire religious equality, I will not yield a single point which is disingenuously attacked, only with the ulte rior purpose of severing that connection between Church and State which I believe to be not only serviceable, but absolutely necessary to the well being of each ; that whilst I will support any mea sure of electoral reform which has for its object the further extension of the franchise to the intelligent and the careful, I will oppose any such clumsy re duction as would infallibly nullify the suffrages of both ; that whilst I am averse from any meddling in the internal affairs of foreign countries and any superfluous intervention even in their international strifes, I cannot subscribe to the shameful doctrine that we are on all occasions to staid by submissive spectators of spoliation or wrong ; that I . am in f a vour of such administrative econ om y as is con sistent with the efficiency of our civil, military, and naval departments." On Friday evening Mr. Austin addressed the electors for the first time. He was very enthusiastically received. After some humorous words of introduction, M r . Austin went on to i n quire —" What in Heaven's name is the great Liberal party ? Great in one sense it certainly is. Indeed, it is so large, so vast in mere size, that I challenge the most accu rate and scrutinising eye to tell where it begins and where it terminates." He had been accustomed to think thafparty was organised opinion, but on look ing to the Liberal party he found it was disorga nised opinion. " Call that a party! Why you might aa well call an old storeshop a national mu seum, or the many-coloured suit of a venal harle quin the proper dress of a well-bred and indepen dent gentleman. The Liberals have all the colours of the rainbow, but I thank God that I can think they will very soon prove quite as evanescent. Gentlemen, there was a famous athelete of old, possessed of enormous strength, of splendid thews and astounding sinews, but so deficient in intelli gence that he could conceive no other plan of using his powers but in the attempt to rive an oak—the monarch of the forest. He rent it, it is true ; for the brave old tree was taken by surprise. But it soon jerked back, and in the rebound it caught him in its grip, held him fast, and he perished miserably. Liberalism is a ponderous athlete, but it is equally unintelligent, and thinks, forsooth, it will rend that good old oak, the British constitution. But I will confidently prognosticate that that old tree will leap back, and catch Liberalism in its grip, and leave it there, amid the jeers of mankind." LAMENTABLE DEATH.—An investigation was held by the Liverpool coroner, on Saturday, into the cir cumstances attending tie death of Mr. George Gardner Bird, a young barrister of large property, who resided at Ivy House, Aigburth. Mr. Bird had just attained a cap taincy, in the 3d Lancashire Militia, and, to commemorate the occasion, he invited some friends to dine with him at the Alexandra Hotel, Liverpool, on Friday evening. As the evening advanced the guests gradually departed, and at length Mr. Bird and another gentleman were the sole occupants of the room. They had been drinking freely, and both fell asleep. Between 11 and 12 o'clock it is be lieved that Mr. Bird awoke, for he was seen by a person in the street walking across the room towards an open French window. He had his hands in his pockets. He had no sooner reached the window than he overbalanced, and fell head foremost into the street, fracturing his spine so badly that he expired in a few minutes afterwards. The jury brought in a verdict to the effect that the deceased was ac cidentally killed while in a.state of intoxication, and a pre sentment was also made as to the want of protection at the window. It is stated that Mr. Bird was engaged to be mar ried within the next few weeks. Nei :‘‘X. i ‘!.9.1 '-;. Mr. Sydney T urner i s a b le to state in hia repzat..on'ttille ''' ) year 1864 that the general working of the; reformatory fj schools has been quiet and successful. Their indiisirial condition is very satisfactory, and their educational fairly so. Work forms the staple of our reformatory training; most of the boys work on the land or in the workshop from six to eight hours a day, and the effect is seen in the remarkably healthful and vigorous growth by which the children in reformatories (especially the English schools) are generally characterised. The Mount St. Bernard Re formatory, under improved management, has been brought to a state of order and efficiency, in which it may fairly be compared with any other reformatory. Returns have ' been obtained in relation to the boys and girls discharged from reformatories in the three years 1861-63 ; and it is found that 60 per cent. are known to be doing well. Tho returns do not differ materially from those of the previous year, and, taking half the unknown to be doing well, the same result comes out as in former returns—namely, that about 70 per cent. of those who are brought under refor matory training are rescued or improved by its influence. The criminal statistics of the year show an increase in the number of young offenders committed, but it was most im probable that the increase of adult crime which marked the years 1862 and 1863 should not have some effect in adding to the number of juvenile offenders also. The increase of ' the juvenile crime of the year is chiefly due to Middlesex, and this is believed to be in great part due to the inade quate use of reformatory schools by the metropolitan magis trates. The number of boys sent by them to reformatories has much diminished, which means that boys are sent time after time to gaol, and become thoroughly hardened crimi nals. There is also an additional difficulty, through the refusal of the Middlesex county magistracy to pay the small subscriptions which the managers of Redhill, the Cornwall, &c., are obliged to ask, except in cases from the Quarter Sessions or the Central Court. The admissions to reforma tory schools in the whole of Great Britain now average about 1,300 ; and the number under detention at the end of the year 1864 was 3,676 boys and 976 girls, including 288 boys and 39 girls on licence preparatory to discharge ; 89 girls and 20 boys are returned as absconded from reforma tory schools and not recovered. The numbers discharged in the year were 1,241, of whom 95 emigrated, and 128 en listed or went to sea ; 916 were plac e d i n emp l oymen t ; 55 died. Tho financial position of most of the schools is satis facto'y. The average cost per head, after giving credit or otherwise for work none, was £l9 3s. for boys and .£lB 11s. for girls. The Treasury grant amounted to £64,735 ; sub scriptions and legacies produced £9,607; payments obtained from above 1,000 parents, £2,499. Passing now to certified industrial schools, we learn that the number of these in creases but slowly. There are 50 in Great Britain. At the end'of the year 1864 there were 1,682 childrenunder deten tion in these schools ; no less than 97 had absconded and not been recovered, but allowance must be made for imper fect arrangements in schools recently established, and for the circumstance that schools of this class, open to day scholars, and mostly situated in crowded neighbourhoods, do not admit of the vigilance possible in an isolated refor matory. Accurate conclusions cannot yet be drawn as to the success of the system on which these schools are carried on. There is much difficulty in the disposal of the children on discharge. They are still of tender age and unfit to work independently for their own livelihood, and their relatives are of a lower rank than those of children in reformatories, a large portion of them belonging to the vagrant and men dicant class. On the whole, however, the schools appear to be struggling with the necessities of their position pretty successfully. Of those dischargedsince regular returns have been obtained nearly 200 are known to be doing well, and only 22 known to have been convicted. The day scholars averaged about 2,500 in 1864, most receiving some portion of food, and many receivitg aid in clothing. This volun tary element imparts a tone of freedom, and consequent contentment and cheerfulness to the school, which assists materially in the discipline and management of the com mitted children. The schools are generally managed with remarkable economy. At several Scotch schools and at Chester, the cost of dietary has not much exceeded 2d. per day for each child, the children being at the same time well cared for. The Treasury grant amounted in the year to £15,887 ; contributions from parents and parochial boards to £4,188. Therels still, unfortunately, no effectual appli cation of the Industrial Schools Act to London. The difficulty is not now with the magistrates ; but the ma nagers of schools and refuges seem unwilling to placetheir schools under the act. They prefer to take voluntary in mates, and children recommended by subscribers. But the unwilling and troublesome who need to be detained, and who cannot be got at except by the magistrate's order, are just the class that most require reformatory training. The result is, that a large proportion of the dis orderly boys who throng the railway stations and hang about the crossings are left to ply their trade of begging and petty pilfering till qualified to graduate as thieves in the gaol. The large number of juvenile offenders commit ted to the London prisons is an impressive comment on the indifferent success of the refuges and ragged schools of London in coping with and preventing crime. The Thunderstorm. The thunderstorms to which reference was made in The Sun of yesterday have been attended with a number of ac cidents. Between 11 and 12 o'clock a woman named Wil liamson, whose husband is in the employ of Messrs. Reckitt and Suns, while standing out at the window of her house in Pease-street, Hull, was struck by the lightning, which had the effect of paralysing the optic nerves so as to pro duce blindness. Dr. Usher was immediately sent for, but his efforts were vain so far as the recovery of eyesight is concerned. Somewhat earlier in the day, on the Lincoln shire side of the river, at Barton-on-the-Humber, the houso of Mr. D. Legard, in Junction-square, was struck by the lightning, which passed through the wall into the house, and smashed some of the furniture and paintings, broke chimney ornaments, a pier-glass, tore down paper and plastering from the wall, and then passed through the ad joining house and struck Mrs. Hopwood, wife of Mr. Hen wood, shoemaker, of High-street, who at the time was standing in the room talking with her married daughter Mrs. Siddons. Mrs. Henwood was struck on the left side, and the electric fluid passed down on that side and seri ously injured her leg. At Sheffield tho electric fluid struck the house No. 17, Scotland-street, occupied by Mr. Alfred Morton, and considerable damage was done. It appears to have entered at the gable end, near the roof ; and, after displacing one of the bricks, made a pas sage into a bedroom, tearing and destroying the wall for se veral Met. It appears to have been conducted by the bell wire into an adjoining bedroom, where it smashed a baro meter to pieces, and damaged other articles of furniture. The lightning then passed into the room below, and, after tearing and damaging the paper, made its exit by the win dow of a back room. In this apartment Mrs. Morton, who was lying on a sofa, was thrown on the floor with great violence, and was much shaken in consequence. An escape was made by the window, in which ten panes of glassware smashed. Some damage was also done to the adjoining building. In the neighbourhood of Stocksbridge the storm was severely felt. About 12 o'clock an old man named Middleton, a joiner, who was passing along the road, was struck by the lightning and thrown down, severely injur ing him, and for a time depriving him of sight. At Brack enmoor, in the same neighbourhood, the lightning entered a house by the chimney, and in its course destroyed a por tion of the walls and damaged several articles of furniture. A woman, Mrs. Shaw, who was standing at a table between. the hearth and the door, was thrown down and injured so severely that her life was despaired of, At Birmingham at 10 minutes past 2 o'clock a shocking death from the effects of the lightning occurred to Mrs. Duggan, the landlady of the Beehive beer-house, Digbeth. At about the above time Mrs. Duggan went upstairs to the attic for the purpose of making the beds. She had not been there long when Mr. Duggan, her husband, who was downstairs, was alarmed by a loud crash, as if from the attic. He rushed upstairs and found his way into the front bedroom, which was filled with smoke. There was also a strong smell of something burn ing. lie at once called for a gasfitter, - whom he employed in the house, who ran upstairs into the attic, which was the room over the bedroom. Upon opening the door and get ting into the room he saw Mrs. Duggan lying in the middle of the floor. The upperpart of her dress was in flames, more particularly about the neck, where the flesh appeared to be completely scorched. The woodwork of the floor of the room was riven to splinters, and a large oak beam in the flooring was also shattered. Mrs. Duggan was not quite dead, but made some signs of recognising the parties near her. Mr. Cox, surgeon, Digbeth, was sent for, but his ser vices were of no avail, as she expired a short time after his arrival. The body presented a shocking appearance, the bosom, chest, and neck being very much burnt. The light ning would appear to have struck the chimney of the house, and passed through the ceiling, and on its - way struck Mrs. Duggan on the head with the above fatal re sult. We are sorry to state that Mrs. Duggsn leave a family of six children, most of whom, however, are grown: but ex tended The storm was not con fined to Birmingham,ar Considerable toKn° d gewamie'aWawrwasicdtnaentdo the t hay crops hsurr°unding which districts.hada not been got in.Mn the w ted with a slight ytofiwenldws ryas seare again n m v p is l i etely flooded. i On Sunday afternoon th un derstorm, and i n Great Colmore-street a chimney was s t ruc k by lightning and fell on to the ro of of a n adjoining house.

She was taken to the Queen's Hospital and attended to by Mr. Thompson, the house sur geon. Although she remained insensible her death was not anticipated.
