It is therefore very natural that so fierce and bitter a war as that which has just come to a conclusion in the United States should give rise to more than the ordinary share of complaints and accusations. One of the chief subjects for animadversion on both sides has been the treatment received by prisoners of war, and if half the assertions on either side are to be believed, the old laws of chivalry and the modern doctrines of Christian humanity are alike omitted from the American military code. The truth probably would be somewhere between the two extremes, but the Confederates have certainly an excuse for any scant provision on their part, which the Federals are entirely without. They were on short allowance themselves, and even if they gave their prisoners the best they had the result would still have been very different from what the North with its open ports and unlimited resources was able to do. The Federals themselves, in the refinement of their cruelty, proclaimed medical stores to be in cluded in the articles declared contraband of war, and they, therefore, can hardly blame the Confederates for not giving the sick those articles which their state required. The pro posal to allow the prisoners on both sides to be supplied by their friends, originated, we believe, with General LEE, but the Federals soon contrived to introduce ill-will and confusion into this arrangement by insinuating suspicions that the Southern officials appropriated the stores destined for the sick prisoners. This accusation produced its natural fruits, and the transmission of stores was for a time suspended. Again, in the question of exchange, the Northern party were for a long time averse to anything that could benefit their oppo nents, even though at the same ti me it gave relief to their own side. The Federals, it must be ad. mitted, showed great harshness and injustice by introducing the system of shooting so many of their prisoners, in retaliation for real or fancied injuries to Federal partisans. On one occasion, after several prisonershad been thus executed, because a Northern man was missing, the man returned. The Federal General could not, however, bid his victims return from the graves to which he had hurried them. The Federals have taken every opportunity and adopted every means in their power to bring accusations of cruelty against their enemies, and have resorted to. not very honourable or truthful methods to substantiate their charges. It is currently believed in America that the gaunt and dismal pho tographs which are exhibited as specimens of Southern cases of Northern prisoners were taken from some hopeless invalids whom the Confederate generals, in compassion, sent to their homes un exchanged that they might die among their friends. " Photographs cannot lie," it is said, but nothing prevents their exhibitorsfrom doing so; if a portrait taken in one condition is said be taken in another the look - era-on are as ranch deceived as if the nese were itself deceptive. There hare been letters published from prisoners on both sides, but it is noticeable that of those which have appeared in the English journals the prisoners in the Northern States denounce the severity of their treatment, while the ex-inmates of Southern prisons declare the treatment they received to be considerate and humane, and as good As it was in the power of their captors to give. Under these circumstances it is rather an outrage upon common sense, as well as a breach of military good faith, for a Southern official to be brought under trial on a charge of ill-using and murdering Federal prisoners. Yet such is the case. Captain \VIRz, ex-commandant of the Confederate military prison FA Anderson ville, Georgia, has been tried before a military Commission at Washington accused of a conspiracy with Gen. LEE, Secretary SEDDON, and other offi cials, to destroy the prisoners under his charge by shooting, starvation, and barbarous treatment. Captain Wira denies the charge, and, besides, takes just exception to his arraignment, since he was in cluded in the terms agreed upon between SHERMAN and JOHNSTON. What the result of the trial may be is as yet uncertain ; but it is evident that no Con federate can think himself safe whatever guarantee he may have received or whatever treaty has been made with him. General LEE himself has been more than once threatened, and can hardly hold himself secure. The most frivolous pretext will serve for an arrest, and when once in the hands of the Northern officials, it is not easy to escape. The idea of a Northern military commission sitting in judgment on an officer on the charge of shooting prisoners, when it is well known to what an extent the practice was carried on in the North, would be ludicrous if the subject were not too tragical. Such proceedings are not likely to ameliorate the bitter ness of Southern defeat or encourage harmony and unity between the rival States. The Conservatives seem determined to show their opponents that their courage is not abated, nor their hopes dimmed. They have banquets and reunions continually, while it is to be observed that the Liberals maintain a significant silence, perhaps thinking that the least said the soonest mended. In the Isle of Wight, on Wednesday last, a grand banquet took place in honour of the Rev. AUBERON HERBERT, brother of the Earl of CARNARVON. Mr. HERBERT was defeated in his contest at the last election, but those who had endeavoured to sec i nz e his return entertained him at the festival above alluded to. The toast of the evening was received with great applause, and the speech of the hon. gentleman was very successful. He commented upon the general results of the election, and de clared that in this country such a contest was worthy of notice. This is strictly true, for, what ever may be the excitement of those who are en thusiastic concerning universal suffrage, it is an undoubted fact that there is more real straightfor wardness in the declaration of opinion in England than anywhere else. This definition is exceedingly good, for it displays the true meaning of the affair which engages so many thoughts, and arouses so many conflicting interests. They saw a great piece of constitutional machinery put in motion when an appeal was made to thepeople of England, which was the guarantee of our liberties and the result of all our constitutional efforts. It is, in truth, a grand idea in the abstract, of the House being dissolved and a new Parliament elected, which in its turn is to represent to the world the feelings and sentiments of Englishmen. Rightly regarded, and apart from all the clamour of the strife and the pettiness of small interests, a general election is a great and grand work, mighty in its consequences, and potent in its influence, im portant for thepresent, but still more so for the future. The responsibility of choosing fit men to represent the constituencies is rendered tenfold more deep by the chances that exist of the most momentous events occurring before the newly elected member may be called upon to render up an account of his steward ship. Mr. HERBERT remarked that it was the fact of Englishmen being thus compelled to form their opinions upon the most important questions of the day that made us form so high opinion of the Con stitution of our country. Still, as he went on to say, we should guard against an over estimation of our merits, and not suffer ourselves to forget our short comings. Some public speakers have a way, indeed, of putting all things in the coleur de rose form, and when they address public assemblies, and appear at meetings of their constituents, and other places of note, they ignore all that is of a doubtful nature, and only choose the best and brightest subjects upon which to descant. The adoption of such a course may be very successful so far as effect goes, but the real object of public speaking is not thus answered . The discourses of me m b ers o f P a rli ament should analyse as well as merely sum up an epitome of passing events, and no greater mistake can be made than to presume upon advantages. A good illus tration of the manner in which people deceive them selves and others was given in this speech by the relation of an anecdote of a Russian Empress, who wished to see the state of the country. Her Minis ters, not liking her to know the truth of the matter, concealed the effects of their misrule and neglect by placing in her road villages made of paint and pasteboard, which represented a happy, smiling peasantry, in prosperous circumstances. Such forms an apt definition of the way in which some people contrive to mystify things to meet their purpose. Mr. HERBERT wisely endeavours to take a calm and deliberate survey of public affairs, and to regard political life in its true aspect and highest sense. He spoke out very earnestly as to the im- portance of maintaining a due regard for "public duty." This sentiment should be the prevailing one in the minds of all if they wish for true great ness, and still more for enduring excellence. It is unhappily a distinguishing characteristic of our present time that so little allusion is made to high principle in the speeches and writings of the day. We hear and see a great deal of power is gained by this device and divisions car- ried by that influence, but the tone of our political life has been lowered, and it is too often the end and not the means that is regarded. It is really refreshing to meet with a discourse like this before us, in which the aims are lofty and the arguments c omprehensive, while clap-trap is put aside for plain statements, and no meretricious semblance imparted to the appearance of things. In these commercial days of enterprise it is often found that sufficient regard is not paid to the important duty of electors, and, as Mr. lIERBERT forcibly puts it, when we find out of a constituency of twenty-one thousand that only ten thousand poll, it must be evident that very great apathy prevails. Public spirit is not so potent nowadays as it should be. Happily we do not now require its exercise to secure the establishment of our rights and the pre nervation of our freedom. These blessings are secured, but it is of consequence that our commu nity be not too much engrossed by the material interests of their trade and calling to the neglect and detriment of more important matters, although they may not possess a declared nor an official value. Candidates are also to blame for exhibiting such selfishness in their proceedings, and much can be studied that may with advantage be avoided in the practices prevalent at a general election. Mr. HERBERT, in an eloquent passage - , explained his The change which a few months may sometimes bring over the general aspect of affairs has been strikingly evidenced this year amongst ourselves, amd Mr. BUXTON, in addressing his constituents of East Surrey the other evening, was able to point to the alteration in the general confidence and prosperity at the time of the general election. Un happily for the next Liberal candidate for a borough, he will not be able to bring forward the state of the harvest, of trade, or of the public health as the result of Whig Government. He will have to hand them over to his opponents, and declare that they are due to the factious opposition which Lord PALMER STON'S Government has encountered. Mr. BUXTON, in his catalogue of our present causes for anxiety, especially dwelt upon the feeling of exasperation existing on the other side of the Atlantic, and the too great probability that a slight provocation might hurry us into a war. His theory is that the best means to avoid such a disaster is to remove every temptation out of the way of America, and he con siders that the fact of a few British troops being stationed in Canada is a great temptation to aggres sion. He, therefore, is in favour of a gradual severance of the connection between us, though he is shrewd enough to object to the proposal that Canada should be neutralised—i.e., that in case of war both parties should agree not to set foul upon her territory. It does not require much foresight to guess that this treaty would not be very long respected at Wash ington, but that, as Mr. BUXTON observes, it would give the Americans the advantage of the first start. But does Mr. BUXTON really believe that the sever ance he proposes would protect Canada or pacify America ? It is not by disarming ourselves and crying " Miserere" that the old feud between France and England has so completely died out ; and very certainly brother JONATHAN has not shown himself so magnanimous that we should expect him to show more consideration to feebleness than to strength. If we are to resign all possessions that may tempt the aggression or cupidity of other nations we shall have enough to do, and every possession we have in the West may be at once handed over to the Federal Government, without satisfying their demands. Such a course would be as unworthy of Englishmen as it would be politically suicidal. These gentlemen who talk so lightly of resigning our dependencies forget that the growth of England's wealth and greatness is commensurate with the rise of her colonies, and that, commercially as well as politically, they are an immense source of strength. But Canada seems, is untenable. How came it, then, that we re tain its government after two wars with America? Our Government have acted frankly and liberally towards the Canadians, and their conduct has been far more in accordance with the wishes and interests of the people than Mr. BUXTON'S proposed course would be. Let us hope that by a firm and cm- sistent colonial government they may make some amends for their weak and blundering foreign policy. Alhambra Palace. ' Mr. F. Strange maintains with great spirit the management of the Alhambra Palace ; for, from the commencement of his lesseeship down to the present time, he has kept up a rapid succession of novelties of the greatest attraction. The latest pro duction is a new Russian ballet, entitled " Les Platineus ; or, Les Plaisirs d'Hiver," in which we have the well-remembered skating scene from " The Prophete," with a well-arranged pas de Cosaque, a very pretty mazurka, and a dance called " Des Dames de Moscow," all of which are executed with a brilliancy and finish quite equal to the far-famed ballet of the Italian Opera-houses. The grand finale of the ballet is really very beauti ful, and as the snow flakes descended on the stage, which is lit up by emerald coloured fire, the audience became quite elated, and gave vent to their admira tion in loud applause. The capacious stage of the Alhambra Palace affords ample space for the evolu tions of the skaters, and the effect produced by the wintry aspect is most grateful to the visitors, espe cially as during portions of the evening the tempe rature of the " auditorum" is far above summer heat. It has been said that at this particular season " London is out of town," but a visit to the Alhambra will cause great doubts to arise on the subject, which rather will lead the visitor to imagine that, taking the crowded state of the building into consideration, it is rather the height of the season, as not a vacant seat is to be had by those who arrived a short time after the opening of the doors. HUNGRY SHARKS.---A singular encounter with sharks was made not long since by the French brig Beaujen, Captain Leroy, on her way to Para and Havre. The vessel hadreached a point about 49 deg. north latitude. and 10 deg. west longitude, and was nearly entering the Channel, when an unusual agitation was observed in the sea, caused, it was found, by a shoal of those voracious monsters. The captain succeeded in harpooning no less than 17 of them, and hauling them on board the ship. Their stomachs were in general found empty, which ac counted for their ferocity. Had they appeared only a few leagues more eastward, there would have been a general panic amongst the bathers at watering places on the Eng lish and French coasts. WEATIIF .11BOUND SWALLOWS.--A communication from Toulon states that so violent a sirocco is now blowing over that town that thousands of swallows are weather bound there, waiting for tho south winds to ceaso to cross the Mediterranean. CRYSTAL PALACE.— ONE SHILLING DAY, Friday, Sept. I.—Admissions on payment, 3,609 ; ditto by season tickets, 960—total visitors, 4,569. An additional station on the high level line at Lordship-lane (near to Forest-hill) was opened for public traffic yesterday. RECLAMATION OF LAND.—Peewit Island, near Harwich, has been purchased by Mr. R. Walker, of Ter rington, who intends to reclaim it from the sta. It con tskirts 1,200 acres. meaning with regard to principle being the para mount object in the minds of right-minded and far seeing statesmen. He said that our institutions really meant nothing in themselves, but it was the temper and spirit in which they were maintained. He had seen in his travels a Venetian palace, which had once belonged to a noble family in the old days of the city's greatness, but it was now used as a barrack for the Austrian 'troops. " The walls were the same as when all that art; trade, and enterprise could tring together assembled there; they were the same as once were racy with the laughter of wit and the merriment of beauty ; they were the same as once assembled within them all that was great and noble ; and now they afforded a shelter to those mercenary troops who held at the bayonet's point that captive city in subjection." Such may typify our institutions, if the old spirit does not animate us and the old feelings prevail. It was truly ob served in this speech that we are as a nation at a trying point of our history ; we have to guard instead of to gain, to preserve in lieu of taking possession. The pages of history, indeed, offer us many warnings of the danger of relaxing in energy ; but in the bustle and excitement of daily life around us we are too apt to forget the lesson. The hon. gentleman concluded his brilliant discourse by declaring that the country could not really enjoy prosperity unless these great truths were recognised and appreciated. " Woe to that man, and woe to that nation which does not place high ideals before itself." This is precisely the kind of backing which the public mind at present requires, and the more widely these sentiments, or those similar to them, are disseminated the better. We shall then, as a people, be better prepared to endure the most trying ordeal that humanity can pass through—a cause of great prosperity—And to hand down to posterity those benefits and blessings which our forefathers won for us in many a hard fight, and that we still should preserve for generations unborn.

The Independence Beige, in the course of some observations on the conduct of Austria and Prussia in the affair of the Duchies, says : " Were nothing else involved but the rights of the claimant to the Crown of the Duchies, Austria and Prussia would probably have held them very cheap, and would not have suffered such trifles to interfere with their decisions. In such a case no one would have pitied either the Confederation or the Pretender. The Diet never for a single moment took the high standing required by the circumstances, and after having raised this deplorable adventure, it suffered itself, without dignity or advantage, to be deprived of the management. As to the Prince of Augusten burg, the part ho has played in this wretched imbroglio is still less deserving of interest. It seemed to him a pleasant thing to take back from the Crown of Denmark, without undrawing his purse-strings, two fair provinces which his father had sold for ready cash, giving a receipt in the form of a solemn treaty signed by all the great Powers of Europe. Encouragement and investigation were not wanting in favour of his de signs, but he might have remembered, when his patriotic sentiments were so much applauded, that all flatterers live at the expense of those who listen to them. The desires and the rights of the populations of Schleswig and Holstein assuredly hold in this affair a far more im portant and legitimate place. The Duchies, it is true, have drawn on themselves the fate which they now bewail. They received abundant warnings when they so rashly lent themselves to the intrigues of the Prince of Augustenburg and his instigators ; but they turned a deaf ear; they were resolved, at all events, to throw off the yoke of a Government which offered them a greater share of independence and liberty than is possessed by any German State, and if they now undergo the fate of the horse which wished to be revenged of the stag, we can say to them, ' You have chosen your masters !' But the manner in which they will be finally disposed of too deeply interests the general policy of Europe for Austria and Prussia, however little they may care for the wishes of the people, to be utterly regardless of what the rest of Europe may think." AFFAIRS OF CANADA.—In the Legislative As sembly of Canada, on the 15th of August, Mr. Attorney-General Cartier, by way of replying to questions, read the following paper :—" 1. On the subject of Con federation, the Government do not propose to recommend any further action of Parliament during this session. 2. It is not the intention of the Government to introduce any measure for the construction of fortifications this session, nor do they intend to expend the vote of 81,000,000 passed last session before again meeting Parliament. 3. The whole subject of militia, in all its branches, is now undergoing a strict revision under the able officer who has been appointed Adjutant-General, and it is not expected that Government will be prepared this session to reconsider the provisions of the Militia Act, though possibly some minor amendments may be required. The estimates for militia service are now being prepared, and, when submitted, will explain the action taken by Government pursuant to an understanding entered into in London. 4. The subject of reciprocity has be, )en and is still engaging the anxious consideration of Government. Under the authority of the Imperial Go vernment a meeting of delegates from the British North American Provinces, under the Governor-General, intituled a Confederate Council to advise on treaties of commerce, will meet in Quebec next month, with the view of arrang ing for united action in regard to the Reciprocity Treaty. As this Conference is to take place shortly, it is not at present considered advisable to indicate the policy of the Government further than to state that they are prepared to enter into any negotiations with the American Government on the most libaral and friendly footing. 5. The Govern ment have no occasion to make an application to Parlia ment on the subject of the Intercolonial Railroad ; and they reiterate the declaration already made by the Parlia ment of Canada that they regard the construction of the Intercolonial Railway as a necessary accompaniment and the condition of confederation, to bo prosecuted without delay hi the accomplishment of confederation. G. It is the intention of Government to bring the question of the North West territory before Parliament this session ; as the dele gates to England were not prepared absolutely to under take that guaranteed loans would be applied for, the com mittee of the Imperial Cabinet did not consider it advisable to enter upon details, but intimated that their desire would would I du to lr adtbbest arrange csft pinr ot a em l r l eo t st e et r ma thens ands, b l; c ui ) 1 a k it e t hr interest or fund, g a t h r e d n e p d r toh period me ea. nannd 7.

A military commission assembled at Washington yesterday for the trial of Captain Wirz. The speci fication charges Wirz with murder, also with con spiring with Lee, Winder, Seldon, and others to destroy the lives of the Federal prisoners at Ander sonville by various malicious means. The court adjourned to-day without naming a day for re assembling, giving rise to the report that the charge of conspiracy would be abandoned. Wirz's counsel entered several pleas denying the authority of the court, protesting against the indefinite adjourn ment, and demanding the discharge or trial of the prisoner.• The Judge Advocate decided that, the court having adjourned, counsel could not be heard. General Schenck has made a speech asserting that President Johnson had informed him he re garded the local governments of rebellious States as temporary experiments, to give the people the op portunity to show whether they will develope the right spirit necessary for full restoration to their position in the Government. The military would remain to prevent them, if necessary, from straying back into their former ways. General Gilmore has returned to Charleston from his tour in South Carolina. He has stated that the military must maintain the direction of affairs until a regular State Government is organised. The Mayor of Fayetteville, of North Carolina, denies the ill-usage of negroes by civil authorities or civilians. The continued reduction of the naval forces is progressing. The Belgian, the City of Baltimore, and the Bo russia have arrived out.

Great Western Railway Carriage Works, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--As the following letter from the eminent geologist, the Rev. J. C. Clutterbuck, may contain valuable information for those who are interested in the above question, I shall feel obliged by your giving it a place in your impression of the 2d inst —I am faithfully yours, Caldicott, Lodge, Bushey, Sept. 1. C. H. LINDSAY Long Wittenham, Abingdon, August 30. Dear Sir,—ln answer to your letter of yesterday, I can have no objection to give you my opinion as to the pro posed removal of the Great Western Railway works to Cripley-meadow, near Oxford. lam well acquainted with the locality. I have seen the holes lately made to test the quality and condition of the soil. The water stands so near the surface that I could only judge from the soil thrown out. The section through out the depth could not be seen. Not long since, however, I made a very close examination of the soil within 100 yards of the spot, and am convinced that it is essentially the same as the soil of Cripley-meadow. By specimens I have by me, and of which I send you samples, I find that the surface soil —say four feet deep, above the gravel, evidently the deposit of floods, consists of layers of sandy and argillaceous silt, that immediately above the gravel being generally (and as shown in the specimen sent) of a peaty character. The depth of the drift gravel is uncer tain from the undulating nature of the surface of the underlying Oxford clay. The depth of the surface warp, as it may be called, varies also, but at Cripley may be put at four feet. I believe it would be necessary to remove the whole of this before a solid foundation could be secured, and this at a vast expense of pumping on the water level, which lies in and rises through the gravel, and which could not be permanently reduced even in dry seasons, more than 18 inches or two feet by drains cut to a lower outfall in this part of the Thames Valley. In direct answer to your question, and according to the rules of common sense, I do not think it a site on which an establishment such as the Great Western Railway works ought to be placed. As to the sanitary question, I would rather refer you to Dr. Acland's elaborate and valuable memoir on the cholera at Oxford (J. 11. Parker, 377, Strand, and at Oxford), in the year 1854, but having reference also to 1832 and 1849, a book all should study who value the health of towns. In the beautifully executed and elaborate map of Oxford, by which it is illustrated, it is shown that the disease was nearly confined to the lowest localities, as indicated by contour lines drawn at a rise of every five feet, none, how ever, being so low as Cripley-meadow, which is below the flood line given in the map, and, consequently, below any inhabited part of Oxford. As to the offer of a site by Sir G. Bowyer, I know that there are many spots on his extensive estates near the railway which are healthy and well fitted for building purposes, such as are required by the Great Western Rail way, and far above the flood line. It is a remarkable fact that there was not, I believe, a single case of cholera in Abingdon in 1832. I think I have now answered all your questions, and am, dear sir, yours faithfully, JAMES C. CLUTTER/11.TM. The Hon. Colonel C. 11. Lindsay, M.P. The Baby Actress. _ The entertainment now being given at the Westbourne Hall, Bayswater, is of a very peculiar character, from the fact that the principal performer, Miss Howard, is but two years and a few days old. She is called the Baby Actress, and certainly we have never heard the lines of Shakspere declaimed before by a child of such tender years. The principal part of the entertainment consists of the performance of one of the scenes from "King John"—that with Hubert and Prince Arthur in the Tower. The retentive memory of the Baby Actress is most astonishing ; but this is not all : the words are not only correctly spoken, but they are delivered with a force and emphasis that would do no discredit to many actors of more mature age. Mr. Howard, the father of the little child who sustains the part of Hubert, states most positively that no forcing or unkind treatment has been used to bring about such a peculiarity in his daughter, but that, on the contrary, the natural gifts of the child have only been fostered, and, to a degree, developed. If such be the case then the performance is truly wonderful. Judging from appearances the little lady appears as happy as a princess, there is no trace of " hot house process;" and such being the case the entertainment an be witnessed with the greatest pleasure. Some of our contemporaries, however, have been doubtful in the matter, and, as honest journalists, they have not scrupled at giving their doubts publicity, but Mr. Glenie, to whom Mr. Howard and his infant daughter are under certain engagements, has addressed to us the following letter, which it appears to us to be but fair to make public :-- " TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. " Sir,—A few days since I had the honour to send you, among others of the press, a ticket of admission to witness the performance of the "Baby Actress." " The Telegraph, without seeing the child, was pleased in its impression of Wednesday, the 22d, to devote a leader' in condemnation of the performance. The writer assumed the hypothesis that this was a child who, showing au early intelligence, was tutored," crammed,' and forced ' into a prodigy by those to whom it belonged, then drew a picture of the heartlessness of the parents with the sufferings of the child, and designated the performance as having something not only distressing,' but horrible,' about it. " It has occurred to me that other members of the press may have somewhat the same impression of the character of the performance; hence I hasten to assure you that the "Baby Actress" has net been crammed or 'forced' in any sense of those words. Her powers of mimicry and memory are so wonderful that her performance of recit ing, &c., is but a natural result of those gifts.—l have the honour to remain, yours very respectfully, -4, Conn aug ht- terrace, Hyde-park, Aug. R. GLENIE. 81, 1865." A LARGE STURGEON.—On Thursday afternoon, about two miles south of Rame-head, the Plymouth fishing sloop Red Rover, belonging to Mr. Samuel Browne, caught in her trawl-net a sturgeon 9ft. Bin. long, from nose to tail, 4ft. girth, and weighing 3icwt. It was alive when landed the same evening at the Barbican, and having been wrapped in canvas, 'was sent, via south Devon Railway, to Billings gate-market. The Cattle Disease. At the Marylebone Police-court, yesterday, Mr. Yardley, the magistrate, in acceding to an applica tion for the postponement of two cattle cases, ob served that there was something in the newspapers of that day which, if not generally known to those in court, he would read to them. His Worship then read Mr. Helps's (the clerk of the Privy Council) letter to Mr. Scott, the traffic manager of the Lon don and South-Western Railway, and which ap peared in The Sun of yesterday. He then said he wished them to notice that there bad been three courses open, by which offenders might be dealt with. The first was that by summary proceeding, by which they were liable if the case was proved to be mulcted in the penalty of £2O. The second was that by indictment. With reference to the third course he might as well state what advice he gave to an applicant who requested to know what he should do in the case of a neighbour who had brought diseased cattle near, or very nearly adjoin ing, his premises where he had his cows. He told him—and he believed now he was right in what he then advised—that if through his neighbour bring ing diseased cattle near his he suffered a loss, he would be able to recover that loss by an action at law. So they must see what they were liable to incur if they went in oposition to the law. In the first place they were liable under summary jurisdic tion to pay a penalty of £2O ; in the second, to have the vexatious proceeding by indictment ; and, thirdly, liable to action at law for damages. ESSEX. Some further cases of cattle disease have occurred in Essex, but the great bulk of the cattle in the county continue healthy. A county meeting on the subject is to be held next week. SUFFOLK. On the 25th:ult., the Rev. J.E.L. Schrieber pur chased three Dutch beasts at Mr. Sexton's sale at Harwich ; one has since died of the plague, and another is showing symptoms of the disease. The animal which died appeared perfectly sound when purchased, and had passed the examination of two inspectors at Harwich. PRESTON. Two cases of the cattle disease have occurred here, and there are rumours of others. Last week Mr. Hunt, secretary of the Royal North Lancashire Agricultural Society, who has a farm adjoining the town, bought two Hamburg bullocks at the local cattle-market. They appeared quite healthy, but on getting them to his farm he thought it would be the safer course to keep them separated from his other stock for a short time. This was fortunate, for the next day both animals became ill. On the following day a veterinary surgeon was sent for, and he pronounced the animals to be ill of the new cattle disease. Next day another veterinary sur geon examined them, and he was of the same opinion. Next morning both animals were shot. Afterwards their bodies were minutely examined by two vete rinary surgeons, who were quite convinced that the animals were in an advanced state of the disease. Both animals were subsequently buried in a pit with their hides on, and covered with lime. These two are the first unmistakable cases of disease observed in this part of the country. HARTLEPOOL. The cattle disease has unfortunately appeared here. There has been considerable mortality on two farms, and the affected animals are at present in various stages of the disease. On Mr. Carter's farm at the outskirts of Hartlepool seven animals have died from the disease. All of these were foreign cattle, and it is positively stated have been imported from Rotterdam. There are three others of the same lot ill, but they are reported to be coming round. Two of Mr. Carter's milch cows have also been attacked. Some animals of the same kind have also died upon the land of Mr. E. Spence, of West Hartlepool. Meetings have been held in all the market towns of the north within the past 10 days, and mutual protection societies have been formed among the farmers. DEVONSHIRE. ' The cattle plague has broken out this week at a place called Brampton Speke. On Wednesday the veterinary inspector for the west branch of the Exe was requested by the Exeter. District Cattle Insur ance Association to attend a fat heifer belonging to a Mr. Salter, farmer. The beast was found to be suffering from the cattle plague, and was shot and buried without delay. ISLE OF ELY. The disease is making shocking ravages in the neighbourhood of Mepal. On one farm 13 calves have died. Several cows have died lately, and one was shot on Thursday by order of the inspector.• There are thonsands of fat cattle grazing on the marsh land of Mepal, and the excitement of the farmers may be imagined. Yesterday morning several veterinary surgeons were called together to advise some step to check the disease, The Protection of Infant Life, Mr. E. W. Thomas, secretary to the London Female Preventive and Reformatory Institution, in the course of a long letter upon the subject of infanticide, throws out the following admirable suggestions with a view to the diminution at least of the frequency of its perpetration : First, I recommend that the affiliation of children be a compulsory act on the part of its mother within three months of its lArth, not merely for securing support for the child, but more especially for the proper registration of the paternity of the child. The cost of this proceeding should in the first instance fall on the parish authorities in which the child is born, but be afterwards repaid by the putative father, or, in default, let him bo sent to prison. Further, that every affiliated child be duly registered in the surname of its father. As the law stands at present, any married man deserting his children, and leaving them chargeable to the parish, is liable to be apprehended and committed to prison as a " rogue and a vagabond." Apply this to the father of il legitimate children. The crime is the same, the conse quences of desertion are similar, and the obligations to duty are alike in natural right, therefore let equal offenders be punished by the same penalty. Any mother of an illegitimate child neglecting to give notice to the vestry clerk of the parish or regis trar of the district in which the said child is born, within three calendar months of its birth, should be liable to fine or imprisonment ; or any solicitor preparing or executing any agreement between . the parents of such children for the care, support, or education of such children, otherwise than as the law prescribes, should like wise be liable to fine. Now, I am quite prepared to find that my suggestions are at best but impracticable when criticised by those better acquainted with the difficulties of the case than I am ; but the subject is one of the greatest importance to us all, and one therefore in which we should not allow a few difficulties to daunt us, but should rather quicken us in our endeavours to save human life, and so many young women from the crime of murder. Depend upon it there is but one remedy for this crime ; and, in my judgment, it is this : —equalise the shame, the care, the trouble, and expense of illegitimate children on their fathers as well as their mothers, and you will do very much to check the crime of infanticide. With the view of seeking further legislation for the protection of and better care of illegitimate chil dren, I propose that a memorial upon the subject be presented to the Home Secretary as early as possible in the next session of Parliament, and that meanwhile an association be formed of all persons interested, in order to the collection of evidence, diffusion of in formation, and exciting the public mind upon this painfully interesting subject. I shall be glad to receive suggestions in writing from any part of the United King dom, also to receive the names of persons desirous of be coming members of this association ; and to work the association with vigour essential to success, some iuouey will be required ; to meet this, I therefore ask for contribu tions of five shillings and upwards. If at all successful, I will form a special and responsible committee to carry out the objects of the association; and also show, through a treasurer duly appointed, the receipts and expenditure. My own imperfect service will be given entirely gratuitously. THE FORTHCOMING REGISTRATION OF VOTERS._ Yesterday, according to act of parliament, the overseers of most of the metropolitan parishes gave direc tions to have affixed on the church doors of the various places of worship within their respective districts the lists of voters, and those against whom objections have been made, and which will be submitted to the revising banis ters when they hold their court, which will now shortly take place. It will be therefore advisable for all those en titled to the elective franchise to look over the list in order to sc)e if their names are inserted or if they have been ob jected to.. . ve Crun v-=.IR yto sirtdat The Court. According to the latest arrangements her Majesty, accompanied by the Royal family, and probably, also, by their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess (Alice) of Hesse, are expected to return to Windsor Castle on Thursday next, the 7th inst. Foreign Courts• PARIS, Aug. 31. The Emperor arrived in Paris yesterday from Fontainebleau, and in the early part of the day gave audience to several persons. At 2 o'clock a Coun cil of Ministers was held at the Palace of the Tuile ries, his Majesty presiding. At 5 the Emperor re turned to Fontainebleau. Prince Napoleon has left Paris for his estate at Prangins, in Switzerland. The Princess Clotilde remains at Meudon with her children. The Moniteur du Soir has the following:—" The Emperor and Empress, guided by a sentiment of filial piety, have made a rapid excursion to the Chateau of Arenenberg." The Duke de Brabant has returned from Coburg and rejoined the King of the Belgians, the Duchess, and his children at Ostend. The whole of the Royal family are to return to Laeken at the end of the pre sent week to receive Queen Victoria. The Correspondencia of Madrid announces that the Queen of Spain is in an interesting situation, and that the official declaration will be made when her Majesty returns to the capital. His Excellency the Turkish Ambassador gave a grand dinner at the Turldsh Embassy, in Bryanston-square, on Thursday evening, in compliment to his Excellency Lord Lyons, who is about to proceed to Constantinople as successor to Sir Henry Bawer as British Ambassador. The Duke of Somerset, accompanied by the other Lords of the Admiralty, will return to his official residence, Whitehall, this eyening from Portsmouth, and early in the ensuing week seek retirementfor a short time at Bulstrode Park, Bucks. The Duchess (Dowager) of Sutherland arrived at Stafford'House, St. James's, last evening from Paris. Countess Clam Gallas and Countess Thun and suite have arrived at the Clarendon Hotel from Paris. Lady Ward has arrived in town from the Continent. His Excellency the Hon. Stafford Jerningham, her Britannic Majesty's Minister and Plenipotentiary to Peru, and Mrs. W. S. S. Jerningham have arrived at Maurigy's Hotel from Lima. A marriage is arranged between the Count de Vandalic-Mniszeck, late of the Austrian civil service, and Miss Maling, cousin of the Marquis of Normanby. We are informed that a marriage is definitively arranged between Miss Constance Guest, fourth daughter of the late Sir John Guest, Bart., and sister of Sir Ivor B. Guest, and Captain the Hon. Charles Eliot, of the Guards, son of the Earl of St. Germans. The wedding will take place at Canford House, Dorsetshire, the seat of Sir Ivor Guest. BRISTOL SEPTEMBER FAIR, Friday.--Our half yearly horse and cattle fair was held to-day, and was very well attended, but the supply of store cattle was shorter than we have ever known it here. The consign ments from Ireland were remarkably small; there were only a few Devon heifers, and Herefords were not repre sented. Trade was dull, and prices showed a downward tendency ; it was not till a late hour that the few animals on offer changed hands. A very large supply of store sheep and lambs, and prices were remarkably high ; sale was brisk, and good store ewes realised from 40s. to 605., and lambs from 255. to 355. There was some good fat mutton on offer, but butchers were already supplied. A very large show of horses, but the quality of most descrip tions was inferior, and scarcely an average trade was done, except at a late hour. English colts were plentiful, but Irish rather scarce ; they realised from £2O to £25. A good show of cart-horses, with a slow trade, at prices varying from £2O to £4O. Good nags scarce, but selling exceedingly well, fair animals realising from £4O to £6O. On the whole, however, prices showed a marked .reduc tion, excepting for anything very choice. Very few hunters on offer. ROBBERY OF £1,200 AT EUSTON -SQUARE STATION. —The guard of a train from Liverpool to London, who had the custody of £1,200 in gold, on arriving at Euston-square station on Thursday, asked the parcel por- • ter to take the amount and sign for it. The man refused, and an altercation ensued. The guard then left his van to fetch some one else to sign for the money, but, on his re turn, almost immediately, it was gone. The company, it is stated, had insured the safe carriage of the gold for £l,OOO. ROBBERY BY A BANKER'S CLERK IN HULL.--- On Wednesday, at the Hampstead Police-court, a young man named George Darley, 22 years of age, who had been employed as a clerk in the banking establishment of Messrs. Pease, Hoare, and Pease, in Hull, was charged on his own confession with stealing about £5OO, the pro perty of his late employers. He had been remanded from a previous day, that the police authorities at Hull might know of his apprehension. Mr. Inspector Webb had charge of the prisoner, who, when brought up from the House of Detention, appeared in a very confused state of mind, apparently labouring under delirium tremens. The circumstances of the case were remarkable. On Monday night the prisoner told a policeman at Cricklewood that he had robbed his employers, and he wished to give himself up. The policeman took him to the Hampstead station, and he voluntarily made a statement to the effect that he had been clerk to Messrs. Pease, Hoare, and Pease, and had robbed them to a large amount. On the officer asking hour the robbery was committed, he replied that he waited after the establishment was closed to assist the cashier in count ing the cash, during which time he abstracted, money, beginning with half a sovereign. He said he believed the robbery was to the extent of £5OO. On Thursday the prisoner was brought up at the Hull Police-court, and was remanded. ATTEMPTED MILITARY ASSASSINATION.—Yester day morning, at 7 o'clock, Private Michael Foy, 28th Regiment, shot Sergeant Patrick Sharlock through his right side as he was standing near the southern window of the west end of barrack-room No. 1, in the southern block of the Raglan Barracks, Devonport. The sergeant at the moment was combing his hair for parade, and there w ere several men present. He caught hold of Private Divine, who happened to be near, and then went to his cot, but turned round first, and pointing to Foy, said "Confine that man." Foy was in the north-east corner of the room, and took aim apparently i n a k neeling posture, for the ball came outjust below the breastbone, passed through one of the lowest panes of glass, and then struck against a wall 30ft. distant. Foy walked off immediately and surrendered him" self at the guardhouse. Surgeon T. R. Williams was soon in attendance, and had the wounded man conveyed on a litter to the Military Barracks at Stoke. There are some hopes that he will survive ; but the wound is very dan gerous, as the lung is injured. Sergeant Sharlock was born in Tipperary, and is about 33 years of age. He w a s mar ried about three months since. Foy is also a native of Ireland, about the same age, and single. He possesses two good conduct badges, has been 14 years in the service, and volunteered into the 28th from a St. Helena regiment re cently disbanded. With six o th er men h e h a d two d a ys , drill for " hesitating " to get out of bed when called in the morning. The 28th Regiment is under command of Lieut. - Col. William Robarts. Capt. Edward Fox Angelo com mands No. 1 Company, to which both Sergeant Sharlock and Private Foy belong. A SHOAL OF WHALES.—On the morning of Tues day last the fine bay of Pierowall presented an ex- citing spectacle. The tidings flew like wildfire that there was a large shoal of whales in the bay, and there was so immediate rush of all hands to boats and skiffs. The whaleS were observed swimming slowly along in a compact and magnificent line, about three-quarters of a mile in length• _ _ It was estimated they could not number less than 700. B 9 rapid rowing and skilful steering 70 skiffs and boats sue-. ceeded in getting into the rear of the invading army ° f whales, and the shouting and noises of the various crews drove them well inshore. The pursuers were beginning t° congratulate themselves on the prospect of the rich booty which almost seemed within their reach, when suddenlit and greatly to the chagrin of the crews, the whales wheeled round in a fierce charge, dashed under and between th e crowd of boats, and rushed away out seawards with treme°: dons speed, blowing in a chorus, and churning the waters of the bay into foam. —Orkney Herald.
