Newcastle Daily Journal, because 'th, dinary importance of the subject to which it refers : It would be of very little appositeness to the question of the disease that is at present destroying the cattle of this country to enter, as some of our contemporaries are doing, into a descriptive catalogue of the diseases to which cattle are subject. Cattle undoubtedly partake of the curse en tailed upon all the world by the original transgression. The "ills that flesh is heir to" are not confined to huma nity; but the whole animate creation are subject to a nu merous train of ills. Cows, the description of animals to which the attention of the people of this country is at pre sent particularly directed, in respect to the disease that has befallen it, are subject to blood disorders, to fever, to func tional disturbance of the skin, and of other secreting or gans; to organic cutaneous diseases which are apt to be come chronic ; to rheumatic affections ; and to a large number of inflammatory disorders. But, what is of more consequence at present than an enumeration of the nume rous train of ills to which cow flesh is subject, is some suggestion for the removal of the special disease which has broken out with such virulence that it is threatening to seriously reduce the number of cattle in this country, and by that moans to diminish, to an injurious extent, the food of the people. The suggestion that we have to make is that heat be tried, both as a means of prevention and of cure. The suggesti on o f h eat as a therapeutic agent in cattle disease has already been made, though not in reference to the particular disease that has now broken out. It • was made some time ago, however, and by a gentleman whose name has been greatly before the public in connec tion with the present disorder. We allude to Pro fessor Gamgee, who, in his well-known work on Dairy Stock, has the following remarks on this subject of d c s, disease saysp Professor in fes cattle sor Ga :—" u : g I o n , e heat as applicable, by m eans of what is called the Turkish bath, to the u the long catego of iseraeso of ry e we shall find one and all pertain to the kind likely to be much benefited by heat. But it is to ward off disease, and to preserve health, that among dairy-stock, particularly in large towns, the bath might prove of great service." Again, says the Professor, "As a therapeutic agent, the hot-air chamber holds an intermediate position between evacuants and stimulants. It is undoubtedly a general tonic, because it fits important organs for the free and healthy exercise of their functions, and thus operates beneficially on the blood, and on nutrition, and hence in vigorates the body. That it is evacuant, no one can doubt that has witnessed the kind and quantity of cutaneous se cretions, whether in man or animals. Viewing the subject as a veterinary, I unhesitating say That we have in heat the most effective diaphoretic, the most active depurant, and the most efficient means of producing healthy reaction that we have yet had at our disposal. It is a great addition to our therapeutic means. We needed a satisfactory means of acting on the skin of lower animals in febrile and other diseases, and here we have it." Not to multiply evidence, it is yet worth while to quote the opinion of another writer on veterinary surgery, if only for the purpose of showing that the opinion of Professor Gamgee is not the only one in the profession favourable to the employment of heat as a curative agent, and as a preventive of disease. The writer to whom wo now refer, in speaking of heat applied in the same form as by Professor Gamgee, namely, by the so-called Turkish bath, remarks :—" The Turkish bath, not only as a.medicinal agent, but also as a preven tive of disease, deserves consideration ; and one cannot help thinking that the hot-air chamber is almost as neces sary an adjunct to the extensive stock-keeper as to the veterinary surgeon, and for the simple reason that in it we have an agent which exerts more powerful influence than any derivative, ox-purge, or blister, with lowering vital power, for it carries off, or at any rate diminishes, the amount of any virus that may circulate in the blood, and by this means cleanses the system, and renders it better able to throw off disease, and to resist the attacks of it." These are the opinions of men, both of whom are emi ' nent in their profession ; and the reader will have gathered from them that not only aro these distinguished veterinary surgeons favourably impressed with the belief that heat as a therapeutic agent can be applied with benefit to the lower animaLS, but that the belief has been put into prac tice. The application of heat has, in fact, been tried, and tried successfully, among others by Lord Kinnaird, who, although he may be best known in the neighbourhood of Coaly Tyne for his connection with the Government in spection of mines, is yet well known as a largo agricultu rist and cattle breeder. His lordship's experiments with heat in cases of cattle distemper are conclusive. He has had a so-called bath erected at Millhill ; and its curative properties have been demonstrated in the most marked manner, iu such cases as those of calves suffering from scour, &c. But still more decisive is the effect it has had upon stots affected with pleuro-pneumonia. Out of three patients which were on the spot at the time the bath was visited by a reporter two had every appearance of pro gressing towards perfect health. They ate well, walked about with seeming comfort and ease, the cough had lost its nasty metallic sound, the discharge from the nose was stopped, the animals were no more hide-bound, and their coats had no longer the staring aspect of disease. The third patient, which was a larger animal than the other two, was not yet so far recovered, but was a great deal better. This is not by any means the whole of the experience to the same effect. The gentleman, indeed, who has introduced the Turkish bath to this country, we mean Mr. Urquhart, has himself found that dysentery among dairy stock yields readily to heat. Loss of milk is one of the symptoms of dysentery; and on the fourth day after the beginning of the attack, Mr. Urquhart has frequently had cows back to their full milk; while heat in the skin, and loss of appe tite are got over the day they appear. It must be under stood, however, that the heat required to produce a favour able impression in cases of pleuro-pneumonia must be very great, up to 200 or 212 degrees, boiling point, in fact. At a less temperature, the curative effect was not visible. In other diseases, less dangerous, but, if neglected, hardly less fatal, the hot air bath has been found a perfect cure. Now, to apply these facts and this reasoning to the case of the present disease in cattle. It will have been observed that the symptoms of disease already cured by heat are the same as some that are found in the prevalent disease. In pleuro-pneumonia there are loss of milk, dysentery, diarrliceii, loss of appetite, cough, inactive skin ; in tie ear _ rent disease these symptoms are found along, of course, with others. The principal difference in the symptoms of pleuro-pneumonia and the prevalent diseases seems, so far as is yet known, to be that, while in both cases the ani mals are hide-bound, in the former the skin is hot, and in the other cold. This difference, however, would seem t o furnish an additional reason not only for experiment with heat in the case of animals seized with the now disease, but also for expecting a satisfactory result.

Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 8 vols., The following is a fuller account of the dreadful murders in Southwark than appeared in The Sun of yesterday :—. In a narrow, densely populated thoroughfare, known as Skin-market-place, leading from Bankside to the South wark-bridge-road, resided a family named Lack, who, though poor in circumstances, appeared to have been much respected by the numerous inhabitants. The husband was employed as a kind of watchman, and in " calling up" his neighbours. On his return home yesterday morning he was met by his wife, who, raising both her arms, ex claimed, " I have done it." " Done what ?" ho replied, and then, on looking at her night-dross, he discovered several stains of blood. He immediately ran upstairs, when a ghastly sight presented itself. On a bed in the first floor were lying his two daughters, Eliza and Esther, aged re spectively five years and two and a half years, with their throats cut from ear to ear. On another bed he found his son Christopher, aged nine years, with his head nearly severed from his body. He at once gave an alarm, and several medical gentlemen were soon in attendance ; but their services were unavailing, The mother was at once taken into custody, and in the course of the day was charged at the Southwark police court, before Mr. Burcham, with the murder of her three children. She was decently attired, but evidently in a weak state of health, and wearing a green shade over her eyes. Her manner and demeanour were cool and collected. Superintendent Branford and Inspector Manson were in attendance to watch the case. The first witness called was George Lack, who deposed as follows—l am a son of the prisoner, and am 17 years of age. I had a brother named Christopher, age nine, a sister named Eliza, aged five, and another sister, named Esther, age about two years. I lived with my parents at 10, Skin-market-place, Bankside, where we had three zooms, two on the ground floor, and one room on the first floor. In the last named room I saw my two little sisters alive, but asleep, on the bed about 8 o'clock last night. I saw my little brother alive about 12 o'clock. He was then in the front room on the ground floor, and about retiring to bed in the same room in which the little girls were asleep. I think my mother (the prisoner) was then in bed in the same room. My father came in about 12 o'clock, and I went out for a walk for a few minutes, not feeling well. On my return I saw my father on the ground floor, but I myself fell asleep on a chair at the door. My father woke me to go and call up a person in the neigh bourhood at a quarter to 2 o'clock. My father then him self went out again, but again rebutted about 3 o'clock, when my mother called out to him, and he went a few steps up the stairs. My mother said something to him which I did not hear, and my father came down stairs again wringing his hands. I asked what was the matter, but my father could not speak, and I went upstairs, and there saw the three children lying with their throats cut. My mother was then standing close to the bedroom-door, but did not say anything to me. I rushed down stairs and called out for help, and a young lad, a neighbour, came up, but was afraid to go upstairs. In a short time my father came back with a police-constable, and my mother was taken into custody. In reply to Mr. Burcham, the witness added—She has been ill seven years, and is nearly three-parts blind, but she can see things when brought close to her eyes. At times I have noticed that her mind was astray, and that she could not remember doing things which she had done e . This has been the case during the last fortnight. My mother was to have gone into St. Thomas's Hospital on Monday under a letter of admission which she had received on the preceding Saturday, but she said she did not like to go, leaving her children behind her. The prisoner, when asked if she wished to put any ques tions to the witness, said, " George, where aro the children ?" The witness, who was deeply affected, burst into tears, but did not make any reply. Mr. Edward Hibbard was next called, and deposed as follows :—I am a doctor of medicine, and a member of the College of Surgeons. Yesterday morning, --- abZE36'clock, I was called up by Richard Gardner, the son-in-law of the prisoner, and proceeded with him to the house No. 10, Skin-market-place. On going upstairs I found the bodies of the two little girls lying on their backs on the bed with their throats cut, and both quite dead, though their bodies were still warm. I examined the bodies and found that their throats had been completely cut through from the windpipe to the spine. I saw the body of the little boy lying on a mattress,upon the floor. His throat was also cut; indeed his head was nearly severed from the body, and his death must have been instantaneous. s There was an im mense quantity of blood both on the bed, the mattress, and the floor of the room. The wounds in each case must have been inflicted by a sharp instrument, mull was shown two razors at the police-station at half-past four o'clock this morning, Dither of which was calculated to inflict the wounds which had caused the deaths, One of the razors had marks of blood upon it. Those are the razors now produced. LIFE : Its Nature, Varieties, and Phenomena, By LEO H. GRINDON. The depositions, having been completed, were read over, and the pr ar isoner was told she could now put any questions she might think fit to any of the witnesses. The prisoner, who had remained seated, with her head resting on her hands, in the front of the dock, here roused herself, and said she had no questions to ask.

Sent post free for 12 stamps. The announcement of the death of Major Francis Horatio De Vero, which took place at a quarter past ten o'clock on Tuesday night, could hardly have created any surprise. The constant changes of condition which he underwent left but little real hope that he would survive. The information of the death of the major was conveyed to the prisoner yesterday morning, at half-past 8 o'clock, by Mr. Superintendent Everist, who said, " Currie, it is my duty to inform you that Major De Vera is dead." The prisoner, who had partially eaten his breakfast, coolly said, " Is he ? What time did he die ?" On being told, he merely rejoined, " Oh ! did he," and resumed his breakfast with the most perfect unconcern. He has been exceedingly quiet and well behaved since his incarceration, and all that he has said about the matter has been that ho considered he had done quite right, and had nothing to regret in what he had done, and he hoped God would forgive him. Yesterday morning the prisoner was brought before the sitting magistrates on the charge of wilful murder. The magistrates present were the Rev. E. J. Marsham (chairman) and Mr. W. H. Nicholson. The prisoner was put back till 1 o'clock in consequence of the non-attendance of the witnesses; and on being placed at the bar, The Clerk to the Magistrates said—John Currie, it is stated that Francis Horatio De Vere, for feloniously shoot ing whom you have been under remand, is dead. The charge against you is, therefore, that you being a soldier, a sapper of the Royal Engineers, did feloniously, wil fully, and of malice aforethought, kill and murder the said Francis Horatio De Vero; he being an officer in the Royal Engineers. Alfred 'George Durnford deposed—l am a lieutenant in the Royal Engineers, stationed at Brompton Barracks, Chatham, in the parish of Gillingham. I have been sta tioned here since January. I knew Francis Horatio De Vera. He was first captain in the Royal Engineers and brevet-major in the army. I have come from the barracks this morning. I have been informed and believe that Witness—l have told him from time to time how Major De Vero was going on—that he was recovering—that he was alive. On one occasion he said, "I am happy for what I have done ; I think I have done right, and I hope God will forgive me." I told him this morning that Major De Vera was dead, and that now he would be charged with murder. Ho asked me what time he died, and I said at a quarter to ten last night, and he said "All right," and turned round and sat down on the bed. London: F. Pitman, 20, Paternoster-row, E.C.

Prisoner—No, sir. iat in The prisoner having been duly cautioned, after the de positions had been read over, was asked whether he had anything to say, and replied, with a smile on his counte nance, "No, sir; nothing." The prisoner was committed for trial. He was then removed from the bar, but will remain at the police station until the termination of the inquest. Yesterday morning Major Gossett read the following letter to the regiment of Royal Engineers on parade, which had been addressed to him by the colonel of the regiment:— " Aug. 23, 1865. " It is with the deepest sorrow that I have to inform the officers, and the non-commissioned officers, and the sappers and miners stationed here, that the murderous attempt on the life of Major De Vere terminated fatally last night. If anything was required to show how wrongful, cruel, and cowardly the deed was, it will be shown by the kindly feeling evinced by our ate brother officer since he has laid between life and death in these barracks. Nearly his last words were a message to me, in which he wished me to tell the sergeants and staff-sergeants from him to do their duty to their Queen and country, and to uphold the high cha racter of the corps both on and off duty. He said, Give my love to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and sappers. Tell them I have always loved them ; and my desire has been always for the good of the corps.' The gallant colonel added in his letter that in reporting the said death of Major De Vere to his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief, he (the gallant colonel) had for warded to his Royal Highness a copy of the last kind words of the lamented officer to the corps." lather d as a ti Mr. Ho >ciety, would .dams, lamed have thould +=don 3tantly :es in g him ,llinge. pongee of the .eneral by the Major De Vere died in a room in the barracks last night. On Friday, the 11th inst., I was on the parade about one o'clock p.m. I was standing alone. Major De Vera was standing about three or four yards from me, and Captain Hime was between me and the major. There were about 400 or 500 men on parade. The major was on duty. I heard the report of a rifle, which I thought came from the ranks. On looking round I saw the major falling into Capt. Hime's arms. I went to his assistance, and hoard him say, The inquest will be held to-morrow morning at tho Sun in the Wood, Brompton, by Mr. Thomas Hills ; and at the conclusion of the inquiry the remains of Major De Vero will be, in compliance with his dying request, conveyed to Askeaton for interment ; and his murderer will be removed to Maidstone Gaol until the next session of the Central Criminal Court in London, where he will be tried wader a recent provision of the Mutiny Act. The Ivance " Oh, my God!" twice. I saw blood running down his coat. I assisted in carrying him off the parade ground. When we had got about half-way across we met Dr. Seddall, R.E. He told us to lay the major on the ground, and wo did so. I then heard some one say that the shot had come from one es any r, and and he retary Tho late Major Francis Horatio Do Vero, Royal Engi neers, was of an old Irish family, and was a nephew of Lord Monteaglo. He was tho fifth and youngest son of the late Sir Audrey de Vero, Bart., by Mary, eldest daughter of Mr. Stephen Edward Rice, of Mount Trenchard, county Limerick, and was born 12th October, 1828, and married, 4th November, 1856, Anne, sister of Major Burke, of St. Clezans. The unfortunate deceased obtained his com mission as Second Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers, Ist October, 1847, and was gazetted First Lieutenant 11th April, 1850, and promoted to Captain 27th October, 1855, and became Brevet-Major 2d November the same year. He proceeded to Turkey on special service in February, 1854. In May that year he joined the Eastern army, and served with it during the campaigns of 1854-55, and was present at the battles of the Alma, Inkorman, and at the siege and fall of Sebastopol. He greatly distinguished himself dur ing the war against Russia, and had received the war modal and clasps for the above engagements with the enemy, and the Sardinian war medal, also the decoration of tho order of the Medjidio of the fith class, and was made a knight of the Legion of Honour. Major Do Vere had held the ap pointment of instructor in field fortifications at Chatham about 10 months. He was a zealous and strict officer in the discharge of his military duties. By his abilities he was regarded as one of the most promising officers in the Royal Engineers. r. Fair ad was 0, must meryed iat Mr. d con tat the classes ie said of the houses. I wont to the guard-room and ordered men to bo posted at the back doors to prevent any one leaving. There are only two houses on that side occupied by single men. I went to post other men at the front door of K house. I saw Sapper Mason run out, and I called to him to halt, and he came to me and told me that the man who had fired the shot was in that house. I went up to the room No. 4, and wont in. I saw Sapper Currie there. I did not know him as a soldier, or his name. No one else was there. He had on his undress jacket and cap. There was a strong smell of powder in the room, and I said to him, "Did you do this 2" He said "Yes, sir," respectfully. I asked him for his rifle and pouch, and he pointed them out to me, his it wag ode ty. d been s eon ad had rifle being in the armband at the head of the bed. The: pouch was hanging in the proper place over the bed. The rifle had been, very recently discharged, and from the pouch thorn was ono round of ball cartridge and two caps deficient. I have had possession of the rifle and pouch ever since. I had no conversation with him. The prisoner was then taken to the guard-room. I have not met Major do Vere since he was taken off the parade. The prisoner—l have not any question to ask. William Mason said—l am a sapper in the Royal Engi neers, and stationed at Brompton Barracks. I, have been there about 11 months. I know the prisoner. He is a sapper in the same corps, stationed in the same barracks. I have known him all the time I have been in the corps, but lam not sure when he came. I remember Friday, the 11th ; I saw him in the forenoon of that day. lam not quartered in the same room with him, but on the other side of the passage in the same house. I saw him frequently during the forenoon. He was cook's-mate for the day. That excuses him from parade. I did not see him after dinner till I went into his room to direct his attention to the officer being shot. I was cook's-mate hi my room, and was cleaning up after dinner when I heard ) mem- cieties, in the r could raised, ossibly In reply to Mr. Burcham, the witness stated that he had professionally attended the prisoner as medical officer of the parish for about 15 months at various intervals of time, but ho had never observed any indications of insanity. There was always a dulness about her, arising from the state of her eyesight. She was dull and low-spirited in conse quence. She also suffered from an ulcer in one of her legs, which was very much swollen, but she never said anything to witness about going into the hospital. Richard Gardner was the next witness called, but before he could be sworn he fell down in a fit and was seized wfth fearful convulsions. Ile was removed from the court, and on his restoration he was brought in and seated at the soli citors' table. On being sworn he said—l am in the employ of Mr. Matthew, fruit salesman, in the Borough-market. I married the prisoner's older daughter, and lived in the same house in Sk in - market-place. Yesterday morning, at 3 o'clock, I was awoke by hearing my brother-in-law, George Lack, who has been examined as a witness, sobbing vio lently on the staircase. I came out of my room in my night shirt and asked him what was the matter. George could not answer me, and 1 went into the first floor front room and again asked what was the matter. The prisoner at once said, " That's the matter," at the same time point ing to the bed on which lay the two little girls with their throats cut, the bed being covered with blood. Their heads were nearly severed from their bodies. I they turned and saw the little boy lying on his back on the mattresson which he usually slept.

I watched the major carried away, and I went in to direct Currie's attention to it. I saw Sapper Currie there, and said to him, " My God, Currie, there's Major De Vere shot," He said, " Yes, I did it." I said "You did it ?" and he rejoined, "Yes, why shouldn't I shoot the old -?" lam not quite sure of the word "shouldn't" or "wouldn't," but it was to that effect. I think it was, " Why shouldn't I."

The mother taking no steps to bring her offspring to maturity the task was undertaken by a young lady of some nine or ten years of age, the daughter of the late superintendent of the park, who was then just deceased. Being well in formed of the conditions of incubation peculiar to ostrich life, she filled an open box with the finest sand, in which she placed the egg, exposing the whole to the heat of the sun, and making in fact as near an approach to a Sahara as could be accomplished by artificial means. When the sun was not shining she removed her charge into the house, where a hen performed the part of a mother, and the ar rangement was in due time attended with perfect success When the hen saw her enormous offspring she fled in affright, and was lost in infinite space. The young biped now attached himself to the little lady, following her about everywhere, refusing to be fed by any other hand, and de nying even the barest civility to the rest of the human kind. His affection met with a ready response, and the pair were the happiest playmates possible, until a new su perintendent was appointed to the park, who claimed the bird on the absurd ground that it was the property of Go vernment. Master ostrich was accordingly removed to the aviary, and his young friend became so inconsolable at the loss as to be taken seriously ill. No treatment seemed to alleviate her sufferings until a military surgeon at the sta tion happened to call at the house one day, and learned . the story of the poor child's s orrow an d sickness.

I have often seen her very strange with the children, some times chiding them with severity and the next moment taking them up and kissing them. She is by birth a na ti ve of Wales, and in gen eral treated her children as an affec tionate mother,and was v ery ki n d to them. She has not complained of po poverty, but on S a t ur d ay last she stated that she did not like to go i n t o the hospital, as she did not wish to leave her children t o th e mercy of anybody. George Lack was recalled, and, in reply to Mr. Burcham, said that his mother was always kind and affectionate to the children. Before his father went upstairs at 3 o'clock ho (witness) did not hear any cries or screams from the children. I had no other or further conversation with him. My room is No. 3, and the prisoner's No. 4. There are two windows to each room, fronting the same way, and there is a pas sage with one window. My window was open. I did not notice the state of the windows in Currie's room. The sound I heard was like a wall falling. to 465• to 245. lue, 35S The Clerk—Prisoner, you have an opportunity of asking any question. Have you any ? Prisoner—None. George Pring deposed—l am a corporal of the Sappers. On Friday, the 11th inst., I accompanied the last witness and Lieut. Durnford to No. 4, Brompton Barracks. It was about ten minutes or a quarter past one. I saw the pri soner in that room. He was asked if he was the man who stone. 29s per ; novti Henry Pope, police -constable 54 11, deposed--I was on duty yesterday morning, at 3 o'clock, in Park-street, when I was called by the husband of the prisoner to his house. a On going upstairs I saw the bodies of the t wo f ema l e chil ren lying on the bed with their throats cut, an d a t th e f oot of the bed, on a mattress, lay the body of th e littl e b oy, also with his throat cut.

The prisoner then said, "I did it with the longest razor of the two." Upon that I looked at the longest and noticed marks of blood upon it. I took the case of razors to the police station, where they were shown to Dr. Hibbard. " done it," and he said " Yes." He was then asked by the officer where his rifle was, and he pointed with his finger to where it stood in the rack. Sapper Mason took the rifle, and gave it to Lieutenant Durnford. I saw the pouch also delivered into Lieutenant Durnford's posses sion. Lieutenant Durnford gave me orders to take the prisoner to the guard-room, and I took him by the arm, and took him there with Sergeant Kay. The prisoner did not say anything on his way to the guard-room, or at the asettled better, st pros , of the )f grain of the market ce of 20 s rather flour 1-ii guard-room. The Clerk, to the prisoner—Do you ask this witness any questions ? The Prisoner—No, sir. James Balfour Cockburn, M.D., deposed—l am surgeon to the Royal Engineers stationed at Chatham. I reside at Fort Pitt, where the regimental hospital of the Royal Engineers is situate. I know the late Francis Horatio Do Vera. He was never under my care till the 11th, the day he received his injury. I was called on to attend him in my capacity as surgeon to the corps. I found him in a room on the first floor No. 5 house, Brompton Bar racks. It is our officers' quarters. It was about nine o'clock in tho evening, there or thereabouts, when I first saw him. He was then suffering from the effects of a gun shot wound received somehow previously. I examined the wound partially, but finding his condition so severe I did not disturb him more than was necessary to ascertain what was going on. I more fully examined him about four or five o'clock at daylight next morning, and then discovered that the bullet must have entered the posterior part of the body, close to the left blade bone. It had entered the chest through an interspaco between the ribs, penetrated certain portions of the left lung, and had escaped just at the inner aide of the left nipple, breaking one of the ribs in its exit. We were confident that the lung was injured, and it was clear that no internal hemorrhage was going on at that, moment, nor any external hemorrhage of any moment. Thera was no danger of haemorrhage. The wound at its exit was on a very slight gentle slope as to its entrance. , 3 Of W w ife of ........._ -.

The object of this Company is to combine under one Management the separate, but naturally co-operative, businesses of keepers of lodging and boarding-houses and Public and private Hotels., This combination, by which the profits of each will be enhanced, is intended to be carried out at that recently established and most attractive watering-place, West Worthing. , A provisional agreement has been entered into f or th e lease of the two newly-erected mansions, which, being built in fiats, are admirably adapted for the purpose, and the Heene Hotel for a term of 99 years, and the purchase of the trade and furniture and stock of the hotel at a cost to this Company, including all preliminary expenses, of X 40,000. In addition, the sum of £lO,OOO will be required for furniture for the mansions and additional stock and Working capital. This amount may be raised under the be powers of the Company ; it will th ere f ore on l y u e necessary for present arrangements to call up 40 per cent. of the share capital. The Company has been constituted with the larger capi tal solely with the view of extending their operations, when t he investment has proved to be as remunerative as it is anticipated it will be. During the time the Hotel has been already in operation it has become evident that it is capable of largely increasing its business by the addition I: 4 more bedroom accommodation, which may bo obtained at a small outlay.

Although the Heene Hotel has been fully occupied since it was opened, no goodwill or promotion money will bo paid for the formation of the Company. The enterprise, 'which is of a banafuie character, is always in operation , and a retur n w ill b e immediately realised by the shareholders.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.

THE CASE OF THE QUAKER FINED AT LIVERPOOL. —ln the case of the Quaker fined for keeping his hat on in the Liverpool assize court, the name of Mr. Jus tice Smith was by mistake substituted for that of Mr. Baron Bramwell. It was the learned baron who reproved Mr. Carson, the Quaker. Mr. Carson was called upon yester day, and appeared before the judge uncovered. Mr. Baron Bramwell said that if Mr. Carson had refused to act as 'a juryman, or had behaved with disrespect, he ought to be fined. Ile (the learned judge), however, should remit the fine ; and, after considering the matter, he had come to the conclusion that if Mr. Carson's conscience told him he ought not to remove his hat, there was nothing intrinsically disrespectful in it, and that Mr. Carson might, therefore, if he chose, resume his hat. EADVERTISEMENT.7I—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointment.— Biliousness, Dyspepsia.—T here is no organ in the human body so liable to derangement as the liver. Food, fatigue, climate, and anxiety, all disorder its action and render its secretion, the bile, more or less depraved, superabundant, or scanty. The first symptoms should receive attention. A pain in the side or the top of the shoulder, a harsh cough and difficulty of breathing, are signs of liver disease, which are removed without delay by friction with Holloway's in estimable ointment. The pills should also be taken early. For all diseases of this vital organ the action of these con joined remedies is a specific, by checking the over supply of bile, regulating its secretion, and giving nervous tone. The Batley Tragedy. On Tuesday the funeral of. Sarah and Hannah Brooke, of Batley, the women murdered on Satur day night last by Eli Sykes, of Batley Carr, took place at Batley churchyard in the presence of many thousands of tearful spectators. The trains calling at Batley in the early part of the afternoon were all loaded with passengers anxious to see the mournful spectacle, and persons from Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Halifax, and Heckmondwike were no ticed standing in the line of route taken by the funeral procession. From Dewsbury and Birstal the people flocked in hundreds, and it is estimated that' there were at least 20,000 spectators. The coffins were borne by female acquaintances of the deceased, elderly women carrying that containing the remains of Sarah Brooke, and young girls from the mill where the deceased Hannah had been em ployed bearing her body. Prior to the mournful ceremony taking place, the corpses were laid out in the room where the murder was committed, and viewed by many. The adornment of the bodies presented a most beautiful appearance. The faces of the deceased were bare, and their heads were covered with skull caps. Their countenances were placid and exhibited a more natural appearance than at any time since they became the victims of their murderer's ven geance. The grave in which the bodies of the de ceased were placed is situated near to the entrance gates to the churchyard, on the branch path-road, and is about 30 yards from the gates at the south east side of the church. The funeral cortege entered the churchyard at the eastern gate. The church was crowded with people, many of them being attired in their working clothes. The churchyard and its ap proaches were crowded with people anxious to catch a glimpse of the mournful procession. James Henry Ashton, the deceased Hannah Brooke's lover, was present amongst the mourners. The burial service was read by the Rev. C. H. Gibson, M.A. Police were in attendance to preserve order in the avenues leading to the church. The crowd, which had exhi bited the utmost decorum throughout, as soon as the ceremony was over quietly dispersed. The surgeons who made the post mortem exami nation were Mr. Wm. Bayldon and Mr.- Keighley, both of Batley. They found that Sarah, or Sally Brooke, though somewhat advanced in years, had been a hale and healthy woman, and one gifted with a good constitution. The situation of the wounds were as stated by us in our second edition ; and the mortal blow of which we spoke was, as the surgeons found, indeed a terrible one. The bayonet which the murderer used, we are as sured on undoubted authority, penetrated the heart of Mrs. Brooke to the depth of three inches. The surgeons found there had been nine stab wounds inflicted on the body of the deceased. When the medical gentlemen came to examine the body of Hannah Brooke, they found (as we have stated previously) seven wounds. The bayonet had pierced her heart to the depth of 11 inches. She was also stabbed through both lungs. The prisoner maintains his former coolness, and still does not appear to realise the magnitude of the crime of which he stands accused. During the day the Rev. Wm. Appleyard, incumbent of Batley Carr, visited him. He sleeps soundly, and eats his meals quite well.—Leeds Mercury. MURDER O F MR.
