No contrac tor must be allowed to bring a thousand cows from Germany, keep them for a time at Hull, carry them across the island, and then stable them again at Liverpool. We take more care for our oxen than we do fcr our own flesh and blood. We set up bar riers against the rinderpest, but not against the cholera. We take these emigrants from countries in which we know the cholera to be prevailing ; we receive them in such a condition that we may be sure infection attaches to them, and, we leave them to b 3 lodged in sheds or " depots" under circum stances most likely to bring tke aisease to the surface. This is not giving ourselves a fair chance. We must take our risks like other people, and more than most other people, in pro portion to our trade and enterprise. But this regular and systematic importation of the plague is too bad. It is like bringing droves of oxen direct from the Russian steppes and carrying them into Cheshire. We must be absolutely plague-proof if we can stand such a test. No doubt emigration is a department of trade, and it is a bard thing to in terfere with trade ; but we have interfered with the trade in foreign cattle ; in fact, we have upset the meat trade altogether, rather than allow the cattle plague to be established in England. Cannot we do as much for our proper selves as we do for our cows? Cannot we suspend this emigrant traffic until the risk of fatal contagion has disappeared ? We have no confidence in the alternative of inspec tion: These poor creatttres may get as far as Hull inthout actually shoWing the disease which they carry with them. They have not yet suffered quite enough to bring it out. A couple of months ago they lasted until they got half across the At lantic, but now they cannot hold out as far as Queenstown, and as the weather gets hotter We may see the outbreak in its full proportions before they quit our shores. What we know is that they have got the infection among them, and that when the conditions are sufficiently favourable it will make its appearance in the shape of cholera. They may all seem in good health at Hull, and yet be prostrate with cholera before they leave Liverpool. We pro test against any such traffic in a season like the present. It may be convenient for the emigrants and profitable to the contractors, but it is certainly not consistent with the interests of this country, and we think those interests have the first claim to consideration.-- Times.

In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even th e mos t sensi tive sufferer a bystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite f.ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the support.ng instead of extrac tion of loose teeth mull they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arche s . At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation ' refusedadmittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is pror—rsed, as far as the donationg obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation wil l be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf. SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Rey. D. GILBERT D.D., No. 22, Finsbury-circus E.C. We are glad `lo - see Iliat in bu i irouses last night the attention of the Government was called to the necessity of taking efficient measures for the more effectual protection of this country from cholera. We are not going to be unreason able in the matter. We are quite aware that an absolute system of quarantine, such as is occasionally maintained in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, would be all but impracticable in these islands, with our national commerce, our national ideas of liberty, and our national indifference to danger. Still, the necessity for action of some kind has been confessed by the Orders of the Privy Council. It is acknow ledged that living cargoes of infected passengers ought not to be poured into our towns, and yet, while we stop, or endeavour to stop, this stream of contagion at one point of our shores, we are allow ing it full flow at another. We did not allow an emigrant ship with cholera on board to put back to Liverpool entirely without observation, but we did allow these very emigrants to assemble at Liverpool by hundreds. We are now puzzled with the case, and can hardly tell what to do. We have got the Helvetia back on our hands, and the consequence is she has brought the cholera back with her. Ten or twelve of the emigrants are dead, and the doctor who attended them is dead, and the Roman Catholic priest who visited them died on Monday. We cannot help all this now that the thing has occurred, but what we could and should prevent is the system which led to it. Let the reader just consider the simple facts of the case as they are presented to us. The cholera itself does really now seem so far miti gated or neutralised in its character as to have lost some of its former terrors. .It does not advance irresistibly in a certain track, spreading death and desolation around it. It can touch a place without settling in it, and show itself without running its ancient course. We have had it actually present a t Epping, at Southampton, at Bristol, and now at Liverpool, and yet hitherto it has never become epidemic. We know, however, that even under these modified conditions it can work the most dreadful havoc. At Marseilles, at Toulon, at Seville, at Ancona, its ravages were as terrible as on any of its previous visitations. Although there fore we need not be afraid of its striking our coasts and sweeping over us as in times past, we may reasonably apprehend most serious evil from its effectual introduction. Under these circumstances what are we doing ? We are permitting hordes of miserable emigrants from infected countries— scarcely less wretched than the very pilgrims who are said to hatch the disease in Arabia—to land on our eastern coasts, to swarm across the island to Liverpool, and there, after being stowed away in baracoons till a shipfull is accumulated, to be em barked for American shores. We might really as well send to the Red Sea at once for a cargo of the original pilgrims and lodge them for a week or two at Hull or Birkenhead. These wretched creatures come to us with the seeds of the plague in them - , and we know it, for as soon as they are packed be tween the decks of the emigrant ship it breaks out, and has done so, not once, but three times in suc cession within the last few weeks. They carry the Cholera with them everywhere they go exactly as the Mecca pilgrims are said to have taken it with them to Alexandria and Constantinople. They have carried it to New York and to Hali fax, and now they have brought it back with them to Liverpool. It was to be expected that they would do so. We have opened our doors to the plague, and have housed it ; if it does not spread, it will only be because the better sanitary conditions I No vi o t w h ß,ri th wt i ie s sh t fi ro nd lifeu g i v e us a provid en ti a l exempt i on. trouble when experience that we cannot deal when we have let it in, but, surely we could have shut it out. It is not a single case of Cholera, or a single compromised passenger, that we have to dread; it is the importation of the plague hot and thick in a swarming and infected multitude. These unfortunate emigrants are col lected, shipped, transhipped, and despatched, all by contract—that is, on the very terms of cheapness most surely conducive to filth, misery, and disease. They are brought acrossfrom the Continent to Hull, and conveyed from Hull to Liverpool for carriage to America, simply because, upon the whole, that is the cheapest way of getting them from Germany to New York. The contractor saves so much a head, and we get the cholera . That is the bargain, and antkthis we have a ri g ht to objectto it. We suggest thi nk route should b e c l ose d f or a we h s tu e humbly season. If a German m ust leave his country—and Godmaywell be excused f or runn i ng awayawayhim make his voyage once f or a ll knowsm it—let he from his own coasts. It seems that some of the na vigation companies have acted for themselves at Liverpool, and have announced that they will take no more of these passengers ; but other ships can purposes of the con t rac t ors , an d all England with it, i s ex p ose d t o s b o e f L o i u v i e l d r p f o o o r b the an d the plague.

One of the women afterwards saw Mr. Blum's body, and was sure of his identity. She also recognised him from his portrait. Two hours later, at 8 p.m., he was seen by a woman walking on the sands at the back of the Royal Hotel, and she observed that he frequently consulted his watch. It will be remem bered that when the body was found the watch and spectacles were among the articles that were mis sing.. At the spot were the body was found, which is about two miles from Hoylake, there are a series pf rocks called ledstones. These rocks are entirely covered with water at the time of the spring tides. The body was discovered on one of the highest points of these rocks on nonday afternoon by two young girls, who called the attention of the fisher man to it. It was lying in a hollow of a rock, with the back to the wind, the head resting on a ledge, the knees up, the feet crossed, one hand bent near the body, the•other at the right: The face was calm as in sleep. The fisherman at once apprised the 'police, and the body was removed. An inquest was held on the 'Wednesday following. The surgeon who gave evidence at the inquest mid that life had in all probability been extinct for about three hours when the body was discovered, and that, although it was possible Mr. Blum had cut his own throat, the physiological conformation of his head was de cidedly against the supposition of his having com mitted such an act. Another medical man stated positively, as his opinion, that any person who had inflicted such a wound as that which appeared on the left side of Mr. Blum's neck would have been unable, „from the loss of blood, it Zfo himself any further injury. The jury, not having the means of identifying the body, returned an open verdict. Of course, the friends of M r . Bl um a t B ra df or d k new nothingcirculation of ofwhat had taken place at Hoyl a ke. Aft er his disappeara nce th ey ma d e t h e greatest efforts, by advertisi ng thein Times policeesnotices and other t o newspaper s, ascertain what and the had become of him ; but it was not until Tuesday week that anything respecting him was discovered. Shortly before noon on that day, Mr. Foggo, the head-master of the High School, received the fol lowing Hunt, he the h a d beenc superintendent o mi in over ve r whom l o o f w po in li g c t e cl a e t g L ra e m eds f , ro w n i t th M r com munication for a week previo us l y immediately. I have received news bypost, and have very little doubt as to the identity of the missing gentleman. Mr. Foggo at once went to Leeds, and after seeing Mr. Hunt returned to Bradford and made arrangements that Mr. Sutcliffe, formerly a master at the High School, and an old friend of Mr. Blum, should go over to Liverpool and determine the correctness of the information which Mr. Hunt had received. On the same morning Mr. Grauhan, the chief constable of Bradford, had receiveda letter from Mr. Hammond, superintendent of the county constabulary at Birkenhead, stating that he had suspended the interment of a body after having seen the advertisement in the Times, and appending a paragraph from a Liverpool paper, giving a descrip tion of the dead man, which corresponded remark ably with that given of Mr. Blmm in the advertise ment. Mr. Grauhan, without consulting the friends of the missing man, at once replied, stating that the descriptions did not correspond with each other. Mr. Sutcliffe, however, accompanied by Monsieur Landolphe, professor of languages, and Mr. Cooper, of Bradford, who were both well acquainted with the deceased, proceeded to Birkenhead in the after noon, and on the following morning they went with theyM r. Superintendent t h Hammond ou s t o o a l n i d o Hy l. T s h o ere me clothing, which, although soiled and saturated with blood, they recognised as having been worn by Mr. Blum. Next they were taken to the coffin contain ing the body, which they at once identified as that of their lost friend. Deceased had two cuts, one under each jaw, and about an inch and a half apart. The wound on the left side was a clean cut of about two and a half inches long, with an abrupt termi- . nation near the windpipe ; the other was of a similar character, 'but a little shorter. There were several abrasions on the knuckles and on the back of the right hand, but no other marks of injury were perceptible. When Mr. Blum was last seen in Bradford he had on a black silk hat with maker's name inside, " Lee, Bradford," a reddish brown overcoat of light texture, a black frock coat and waistcoat, light tweed trousers, and elastic side boots. He had also a small gold Geneva lever watch with gold face, number 7,213, a gold albert guard, with a seal or pendant attached by a steel ring, a gold signet ring with a plain white and pink onyx stone, a gold scarf pin, and steel spec tacles, which he invariably wore. Ile had also a small portemonnaie, which is known to have con tained several pounds, and several letters in his pockets. When the body was found there were missing the hat, the gold watch and chain, the purse, the letters, and the spectacles. There was nothing in the pockets except Bs. in loose coin and a white pocket-handkerchief. The letter, dated the 24th of April, addressed by the deceased to a young lady residing in London, to whom he was engaged, affords the only clue to his disappearance on the day named: —" I had a strange letter from Leeds from a stranger who is staying there on business. lie comes from Hamburg, and wishes to see me. As it is im possible for me to go to Leeds until Saturdayl must consider in the meanwhile what to do. A strange thing, is it not?" No trace of the letter here re ferred to has hitherto been discovered, and most likely it was in Mr. Blum's possession when he left Bradford. It is surmised that the appointment mentioned in the letter may have been altered from Leeds to Liverpool. It is stated in the village of Hoylake that on the morning of the day on which the body was found two men were seen struggling on the Redstones, and that one of them was after wards seen to come away alone. / PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. the charges in them cannot be accidentally let off. 'The needle which fires the cartridge is shielded by the perforations, and it is only when the peg of the trigger hammer is plunged into the cavity upon it that the, charge can be exploded at all. Moreover, the advantages of this method applied to artillery should not be left unconsidered, for although the weight of corresponding slides of charges for heavy ordnance would be considerable, yet as horizontal motion only is required to bring the cartridges and shot into service, effective mechanical means could be readily devised for this purpose; the only pos sible question that can arise being how far joints are permissible in large cannon, and, in fact, whether breech - loading artillery is possible at all, for if it be then guns on this principle would present less me chanical difficulties than any of the other plans as yet devised, while, at the same time, it would per mit of a stronger application of material. Supposing the principle applied to artillery the main advantages would be a rapidity of fire equal, we should think, to at least two shots a minute for very heavy guns; and if in easemates or ships, secu rity from danger of rifle shots from the enemy dur ing loading, as the embrasures would only require to be open during the actual period of firing ; and if in the field, some_very decided advantages indeed over the present artillery. Suppose, forexvainmgptleh,eiar g battery charged and taken by the enemy, the de fending unsbut troops carrying o beingfi theirobliged ammunition. tto retre at, These Gale's leaving slide guns would be useless to the enemy, ordinary cartridges could not befiredinEven them. because slightest difference in the size and cons had the enemy adopted the same kind theo t f ru g e t t l i n o s n of the slides would render the ammunition of one army unsuitable for the artillery of the other, and so guns might be abandoned without much danger of their being turned, as would now be the case, upon their rightful owners in their retreat. Again, another point suggests itself prominently to the mind. If ten or any other number of shots could be fired with great rapidity without change in the position of the gun at one spot, say of a ship's plated side, what would be the effect of such a rapid suc cession of blows ? If a 600-pounder were aimed at a ship, and struck, the damage desired would be effected ; but if it missed the fire would be lost and wasted. With a gun charged with one of Mr. Gale's slides containing six 100-pound shots and their powder charges all of them could be fired within the space of time it would take to reload the 600-pounder, and with this advantage in Gale's method, that if the first shot did snot strike right the least modification of the training would bring the gun to bear more accurately, and the second or the third and the following shots would take effect as intended. It is fair, then, to consider what would be the effect produced. The consideration is a novel one, and not by any means irrelevant, for as six light blows of a hammer might drive home a nail as close as one strong blow driving it home at once, so six or more quickly-repeated blows of 100- pound shots upon the same spot might produce a very considerable destructive effect, which, although it might not be equal to that of a 600-pounder direct, might be more certain of being accomplished; and, in the conflict of warfare, the certainty of doing a given amount of harm is perhaps preferable to the chance of doing a greater amount of harm or of doing no harm at all. Altogether the contemplation of Mr. Gale's sys tem raises so many new considerations and suggests so many modifications in military operations as to tend to carry one's thoughts into the realms of spe culation, and to render the keeping of them within the boundaries of legitimate conclusions very difficult. To hear the rapid discharg,e—as fast as the reports can be counted—of one of these slides of cartridges in any small arm is to realise better than words can give an idea of the murderous rapidity of fire which this means affords. Armed with such weapons a single regiment of infantry would literally and absolutely pour forth a veritable storm of bul lets ; for assuming such a regiment to be 800 strong, it could certainly throw 48,000 bullets in the face of its enemy in a single minute of time ; and, as few men would relish facing a body of weapons which gave him GO shots a minute as his own particular chance of death, with a reasonable probability of an extra and large percentage of chances against him as his comrades fell, we only hope that this inven tion may be an additional link in that chain of de structive powers which may iu the end make war too dreadful a game for nations to play at. However, while a probability of battles having to be fought remains we can well understand the appreciation of this invention which has been expressed to the Com mander-in-Chief, Generals Hay and Scarlett, Col. De Bathe, and other of our high military authori ties, by Mr. Gale. The Murder of Mr. Blum. In The Sun of Friday and Monday last an account was given of the disappearance of Mr. James J. Blum, one of the masters of the High School at Bradford, on Saturday, the 28th of last month, and the recovery of his dead body on Monday, the 30th, in a lonely spot on the shores of the Mersey, near Hoylake. The following particulars have since transpired : Mr. Blum, the deceased, was born in Germany, but was brought up in England. His father is dead, and his mother and sisters reside in Prussia. He was an undergraduate- of London University, and was in tending to take the science degree. He has a brother at school in London. He has also another brother, who went under the name of Paul Bloomfield, a sailor. He served as a soldier in the American war, but was in Bradford in the latter part of last year. No one then saw him but Mr. Blum, who said he met him in the street, walked with him to a railway station, and saw him off somewhere. .He then had come from Hamburg. In December last, and pro bably not long after the occasion referred to, Mr. Blum helped him with money-to go to Australia. He has, however, been seen in London since, and said he was wrecked. It may be added that no weapon of any kind was discovered near the body, and had the deceased com mitted suicide, it is stated that the rocks are too far distant from the sands and the water for him to have thrown anything where it could not have been dis covered. The wounds are both so severe as to make it impossible for them to have been inflicted by Mr. Blum's own hand. On the day when Mr. Blum disappeared he at tended school as usual from 9 to 12 o'clock, and after leaving met Mr. John Anderson, the singing master of the school, with whom he made an appoint ment for the Monday evening following. He after wards called at the shop of Mr. 11. B. Byles, book seller, where he ordered " Babington's Manual of Bo tany," and took away with him the second volume of Dickens's " David Copperfield." He next met, about 1 o'clock, inMarket-street, Mr. Cooper, of Bradford, who asked him what he was going to do with him self that afternoon and evening. He stated thatafter going home to di nner , a b ou t h a lf-p as t 1, he should have about two hours' writing ; that he should then did not go to the laboratory of the school and make some che mical experiments, and that if Mr. Coopteirlini at the call at his lodgings before 7 he would m ts ee performing Theatre Royal, where Mr. Phelps was him , Behrens, that evening. After Mr. Cooper seen at 20 minutes past I he was by 3fr. but Mr. Blum cut who stopped and spoke to st h a i t m ing that he was in a short the conversation by y o spare, and hastened along Charleslit hurry, and had n o; 3 im id e ,e_ Bridge-street.

About half-past 2 in the afternoon two young men saw a person on the rocks, but they were at too great a distance to be able to distinguish his features. He was without his hat, and was apparently enjoying the sunshine. From his movements it was conjectured that he was smoking. Two young women, sisters, on their way f0r11124th_4.67.

It was then observed by these on the platforms, as well as the railway servants, that an accident had happened; and on the trnin nearing them the last off wheel of the carriage at the end of the train had adhering to it what to many appeared a bundle which was rotating with the wheel. On thr3 stoppage of the train it was found to be the body of owe of the plate layers engaged on the railway, and who had previously been at worla.in the tunnel. Every exertion was made to release the body, which was a shapele is mass, from the wheel, but it was not for some few minus that success re warded their efforts, when no signs of life appeared ; in fact it seemed as though all the bones lad been broken. On going into the tunnel three other m en were found se riously injured, and were at once conve: Ted to the hospital It is stated by those who escaped that tine men had stepped off the line they were at work at to Billow the train to pass, when another came in the opposite direction, and the poor fellows were between the two.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION in GEOLOGY and MINE RALOGY is given by Mr.TENNANT,F.G.S., at 149. Strand. Mr. Gale's Ammunition S ide. Nothing is more difficult than to describe effi ciently and comprehensively without pictorial illus trations a new mechanical contrivance, so that the reader shall be able to form a fair judgment of its merits and value rather than be obliged to accept what is, in fact, no more than the criticism or the favouritism of the describer. Nor does any amount of simplicity in the mechanism diminish the difficulty of description, but, on the contrary, very often tends rather to increase it. This difficulty peculiarly besets the effort to put before our readers an inven tion by Mr. Gale, F.C.S. (the well-known proposer of the plan for rendering gunpowder incombustible by commingling it with impalpable powder of glass and other similar materials in such a way that they may themselves appreciate it - through their own judgments upon its proper merits ; and this we are the more desirous they should do,as it is one which, if it prove as advantageous in actual use as even in its present embryo state'it seems to promise, must exert a very considerable influence in practical war fare. Mr. Gale's ammunition slide, for so we call it, the inventor not having, so far as we know, given any particular name to his new mechanism, consists of a steel bar about six inches in length, two in breadth, and about three-quarters of an inch in thickness, perforated with ten chambers for needle cartridges ; the ends and fronts of these chambers are open, and on the flat upper surface of the bar are ten small perforations forming circular pits down to the percussion needles of the cartridges. In the present case this model slide is adapted to a single barrel pistol, and therefore, as such, we will in the first place describe it, merely premising that of course if would be equally suitable for muskets, rifles, and small arms of any other class, and, as the inventor considers, for artillery also. However, to describe the invention. Behind the barrel, which is permanently fixed to the stock of the weapon, is a square cavity into which one cud of the slide con taining the charge is put. Along the bottom of the slide are ten excavations or elongated holes, into one of which a peg in the trigger slides forward as the trigger, in the act of firing, is begun to be pulled back; as the pulling back of the trigger is continued, this peg, after having moved forward to the extent of the excavation, begins to travel sideways, and to drag the slide of charges inwards until the first charge is brought fairly in a straight line with the barrel. The front end of the charged chamber in the flat steel bar is thus open, while the hind end of the chamber abuts closely on a metal buttress attached to the handle of the stock, and forming part of the square of metal in which the slide works. When the charge has thus been brought into position there is still a small residue of action left to the trigger, and this effects the release of the hammer, which now falls, and being armed with a small metal peg, which en ters in the act of striking the pit over the needle of the charge, the explosion is effected and the weapon fired. As the hammer falls the peg in the trigger, which has dragged in the first charge to position, and in so doing has described a nearly semicircular path, returns diagonally straight back to the spot from which it began its motion. As the trigger is pulled back for the second fire the peg again goes forward into the second groove, again travels side ways, dragging into position the second charge, and as soon as the discharge takes place returns again to commence its third operation, and so on without intermission for as many charges as may be sup plied. The action of the firing is, however, far more rapid than we oan make our descriptions of it ; all that has taken us so many lines carefully to describe is done by the ordinary pulls of the trigger, as fast as it can be pulled, and thus as fast as one can count. can the whole of the ten charges be fired ; or at a moderate estimation in time, two charges could be fired in the beat of a pendulum, or the whole ten charges in less than 5 seconds. To recharge the pistol would only take the time required to return the empty slide to the cartridge pouch and draw a fresh one from it ; and supposing an adequate sup ply of slides to hand, the weapon constructed on this principle could be continuously fired at the rate of 60 shots a minute, including the reloading. In other words, all other conditions being equal, a gun on this principle would be equal in number of shots fired within a given time to 30 guns of the ordinary construction requiring separate loadings after each discharge. The best way to realise an idea of what the weapon is, is to suppose an ordinary rifle to have a flat squared hole cut in each side of its powder chamber, and into this chamber to put a flat tray of cartridges laid side by side with thick walls of metal between them. As the tray is pushed in sideways each cartridge would be brought into the chamber ready for discharge. This is just what is done by Mr. Gale's invention, except that his steel slide car ries its own chamber for each of its cartridges, and is drawn in by the action of the trigger instead of being pushed in by the hand. The primary value of Mr. Gale's method, then, is its applicability to military small arms for wonderful rapidity of fire, a capacity the importance of which is beyond com ment ; but, as is commonly the case with inventions of real merit, subsidiary useful qualities are always accruing as the range of application is extended ; and in this case a secondary consideration of almost equal importance to the primary one is found to exist, namely, the remarkable security of the am munition itself. For example, as gunpowder will not explode under a heat of less COO deg. F., these cases of cartridges would not be fired by any accidental conditions un less the steel :slidel containing them was heated to that extent, and as a consequence of this fact we can easily see how ammunition waggons could be brought into action with the troops under circum stances and conditions which have been hitherto impossible. The steel slides of cartridges also indi vidually possess an inherent property of safety, for On Friday, May 18, in 3 v 015.,.
