When asked what he had to say, he said he was proud of the friendship of Stephens, and considered he was bound as an Irish man to join a combination which was for the good of Ireland, and not for assassination and plunder, as was falsely asserted. In conclusion he said, " Now, my lord, I have only one request to make, and that is, that you will not give me any advice or lecture, as you have done the other prisoners. I ask you simply to pass sentence on me, and give me nothing in the shape of advice or lecture, for I as sure you it would be lost upon me." Judge Fitzgerald sentenced him to p ena l servi_ tude for ten years. and was sent enced John Clohessy pleaded guilty, to two years' imprisonment.

Dr. Routh, physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and Children—the best authority on such matters —in his admir able publication on Food, says—Amongst the vegetable sub stances, th .t which comes closest to milk in its composition is, without doubt, Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, con . aining both phosphoric acid in abundance and chloride of potassium; it also includes casein, the same principle which is found in milk in its constituent parts.No wonder, there fore, that under its influence many children affected with atrophy (wasting away of the body), and marked debi ity, have completely recovered. I have given it with the greatest advantage in such cases ; and so far as I may judge from my own experience, practice fully carries out what theory, from a knowledge of its composition, led us to anticipate.— In tins, 1 lb., 2s. 951. ; 21b., 4s. ed; 5.b, 11s. ; 121 b., 2 s. ; 241 b.

Th e poors, with Suppers and 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, refused admittance, an d h ave 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 proposed, as far as the donations 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 ?

Sir.,—As Parliament will assemble in little more than a fortnight I request the publication of the annexed correspondence in your columns, in order that the offer of her Majesty's Government may in the interval receive due consideration. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES KAY-SIIUTTLEWORTIL 38, Glocester-square, llyde-park, W., Jan. 17. " 38, Glocester-square, Hyde-park, W., Jan. 6. " Sir,—l beg to submit to you, for your considera tion and that of her Majesty's Government, the en closed memoranda as to a scheme of national insur ance against losses from the cattle plague, which the rapid increase of the ravages of this pest appears to me to render expedient. _ " In the sketch of the details of a bill which I submit the Government is asked to do no other thing than to diffuse the burden of losses from the cattle plague over the farming lands of the whole of England, without taxing any other property, or making any compensation from the public taxes or incurring any subsidiary risk, and likewise to diffuse this burden over a series of years. " The principle on which the first part of the scheme rests is that of a national insurance, whereby the risk is transferred from a limited area to the whole of England, and is thus equalised, being greatly mitigated in counties in which it would otherwise be an intolerable burden. " The principle on which a loan is proposed is the same as that on which loans are granted for great municipal and other public works of permanent ad vantage. It is proposed to spread the loss arising from a great national calamity over a series of years, in the same way that the charge of some vast outlay for waterworks, or the arterial drainage of a city is diffused, lest it should be an insupportable burden to the ratepayers who sanctioned the expenditure. This principle was applied to the relief of the cotton districts during the recent American War, with great benefit, in giving a stimulus to the outlay of capital and the employment of labour. This inter ference of the Government is gratefully remembered by all classes in Lancashire. " The measure is submitted in consequence of a growing conviction of the inadequacy of all private efforts within a limited area to provide by a system of mutual assurance against extensive ruin among farmers, and a consequent grievous public embar rassment.—l am, &c., J " J. P. KAY-SHUTTLEIVORTH. " The Right Hon. Sir G. Grey." " Whitehall, Jan. 16. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to inform you that, having referred your letter of the 6th inst. and its enclosure, as to a scheme of national insurances against losses from cattle plague for the consideration of the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, he has received in reply the letter of which a copy is enclosed. " With reference to the first part of your proposal —namely, that the burden of the loss incurred by the cattle plague should be diffused over the whole of England, her Majesty's Government are of opinion that even were this expedient very serious practical difficulties would be found in attempting to give effect to the proposal ; nor if the attempt were made is there any sufficient reason why the scheme should be limited to England, and not include other parts of the United Kingdom. " The Government could not properly undertake . to superintend or control the machinery which would be required for the management of a National In surance Association. They think, moreover, that the necessary result of such a scheme would be an injurious interference with country and other local associations, which are far better adapted than a national association to insure vigilance and efficiency in the administration of the funds applicable to the purpose of such association, combined with a stronger interest in the adoption of the most effectual means for checking the disease. Tier Majesty's Govern. PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. meat, however, are of opinion that the :sound part of your proposal—namely, that the loss should be diffused over a series of years, is well entitled to favourable consideration. If they should have reason to believe that such a proposal would be generally acceptable to the interests specially concerned, her Majesty's Government would be prepared to ask the sanction of Parliament to a bill authorising, under certain conditions, the advance of money from the public funds by way of loan upon adequate security to county or other local associations, with a view to spread the charge in respect of losses from the cattle plague over a short term of years, in cases where the amount of such loss has been considerable. " The same principle might be applied to indivi dual landowners, if they desire to avail themselves of it in respect of losses incurred on their estates, either by themselves or their tenants.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedientservant, " " Sir J. Kay-Shuttleworth. H. WADDINGTON." " " Treasury Cha m b ers , J an . 11. Sir,—The Lord s C omm i ss i oners of her Ma jesty's Treasury have had before them your letter of yesterday's date, enclosing one from Sir J. K. Shut tleworth, forwarding a memorandum as to a scheme of national insurance against losses from the cattle plague, and their lordships desire me to acquaint you, for the information of Secretary Sir G. Grey, that they conceive that th e i nqu i ry a dd ressed to them officially refers to the second part of Sir J. K. Shuttleworth's proposal, and that it would perhaps be going beyond their province were they to give an opinion on the question as to whether the liability for losses by cattle plague ought to be extended to the whole farming lands of the country, or placed on any other than a voluntary basis ; but their lord ships do not hesitate to say that in cases where any machinery which may have the approval of her Ma jesty's Government shall have been put in action for ascertaining, checking, and compensating, in whole or in part, such losses, and where it shall ap pear that the amount of such losses is too great to be reasonably expected to be at once discharged, they are of opinion that public funds might properly be made available by way of loan (in default of any other means of meeting the emergency) upon ade quate security, with a view of spreading the charge over a longer or shorter term of years.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, "IL Waddington, E " H. C. E. CHILDERS. sq." • " 38, Glocester-square, Hyde -park, Jan. 17. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter dated the 16th inst., conveying to me the opinion of her Majesty's Government on my proposals with respect to an Act of Parliament and a loan, to enable agriculturists to aid each other in sustaining the burden of losses from the cattle plague, by diffusing those losses over all insurers, and over a series of years. " kshould not trouble you with any remark did I not think it probable, from one passage in the letter from the Secretary to the Treasury (' or placed on any other than a voluntary basis'), that their Lordships had, from an omission in my letter to Sir George Grey, conceived that I had proposed a com pulsory distribution of the average loss from the cattle plague over the farming lands of England. " In my letter to Sir George Grey I ought to have inserted the limitation, carefully provided in the scheme of national insurance which I submitted— viz., that this charge was intended to be distributed only over the farming lands of owners who con sented to the insurance of their own or their tenant's stock, and in proportion to the number of stock so insured. The initiation of this insurance was to be a voluntary act, done with the consent of the owner of the land, and in no degree compulsory. The stock-breeding districts, like Aberdeenshire, Craven, Westmoreland, and the dales of the Pennine Chain, might easily avoid the purchase of any store stock, isolate themselves, and decline to insure on thepre sumption that their risk would continue to be below the average rate, as the mortality in their herds now is. Nor need such voluntary national insurance in terfere with any existing association, which may have obtained sufficient confidence among farmers to maintain an independent existence. But I should be much astonished, considering the gravity and un certainty of the risk, and the general want of con fidence in such associations, if any oue of them should prove to be so established that it would be unwilling to merge itself in a well-ordered national scheme. "It was not until many counties had declared that their efforts to found associations for mutual assurance had failed that I ventured to submit to ^Wlfkif, -- ilk au - AA - Dr" i - arrtafacCrerimuize , o4 , removing legal difficulties and disabilities and pro viding an administrative machinery) enable agricul turists more effectually to combine for the voluntary distribution of the average loss from the cattle plague over the farming lands of insurers, and like wise over a series of years by means of a loan secured by a rentcharge, to be assessed like the Property and Income-tax on the owner and occupier in fixed proportions. " I asked the Government to take no other re sponsibility than the passage through Parliament of this Act, providing the requisite legal powers and administrative machinery, which need not neces sarily be that of any existing department. But I also sought, by the action of the Government and the sanction of Parliament, to inspire confidence as to the insurance of stock which the general failure of cattle insurance associations through a long series of years has undermined. I did not enter into the details by which care lessness, waste, and fraud might be reduced to a minimum. The safeguards would obviously consist in a skilful adjustment of local interests in the Act of Parliament, insuring the utmost vigilance, and even, as in Aberdeenshire, extending to measures for the suppression of the plague. " I have only further to thank Sir George Grey for the honour which he has done me in submitting my proposals to the consideration of her Majesty's Government and for the courtesy of the reply.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "JAMES KAY-SHUTTLEWORTIL "H.

The Turkish Ambassador and suite paid a visit to the Admiralty offices, Whitehall, a few days since for the purpose of delivering to Mr. E: J. Reed, the Chief Constructor of the Navy, a gold snuffbox, which the Sultan had sent for presenta tion to him. The presentation was made with the sanction of the Admiralty, and was accompanied by cordial expressions of the Sultan's high appreciation of the services rendered by Mr. Reed in designing the large ironclad frigate Fatikh for the Ottoman Governffient, which the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company are now building under his supervision. The snuffbox is studded with no less than 250 dia monds, many of large size, in the centre of which is the name of his Majesty in gold, upon a raised pur ple enamelled ground, emblazoned with stars com posed of brilliants, and encircled with a close -set ring of diamonds. The vessel referred to was ori ginally intended to be named the Turkestan, but her designation has now been changed by the Sul tan to that of Fatikh, which means Conqueror. Preparations are being made at Chatham Dock yard for the commencement of the new turret-ship, as well as the ironclad frigate Hercules, both of which are to be laid down as soon as the ironclad frigates Lord Warden and Bellerophon are suffi ciently forward in their completion to allow of their being undocked. The Bellerophon, 14, 1,000 horse power, iron clad frigate, in No. 3 dock at Chatham, had her four-bladed screw unshipped yesterday in order to be fitted with a two-bladed Griffiths propeller of large size, and set at a finer pitch than her former screw. The work of fixing the new blades was un dertaken yesterday, and will be completed to-day. The frigate will be shortly tried with the new screw, with which there is little doubt she will realise a much higher rate of speed than she did with her four-bladed propeller, the Bellerophon's engines be ing designed to drive a two-bladed screw only at 70 revolutions per minute, while the four-bladed screw could not be kept at 60 revolutions per minute. The Minotaur, iron frigate, Capt. F. A. Herbert, embarked Captain A. C. Key, C. 8., and staff at Spithead early yesterday morning, and made a second trip into the Channel, south of the Isle of Wight, to make trial of the 12k-ton gun and car riages she has on board. The water was found much too smooth, as on the previous day, for the great ship to attain the desired motion. She an chored again at Spithead in the course of the after noon. The Simoom, screw iron troop ship, Captain Thomas B. Lethbridge, fitting out at Portsmouth for troop service, yesterday steamed out of harbour and made a most satisfactory trial of her new ma chinery, under the supervision of the officials of the Steam Reserve and Factory Departments, and after wards returned to the harbour to complete her out fit and prepare for her official speed trial over the measured mile during the next spring tides. The ship has been supplied with two new cylinder en gines, of 400-horse power, manufactured for her in the steam factory of Portsmouth Dockyard, the dia meter of the cylinders being 6iin., and the length stroke 3ft. They drive a two-bladed common pro peller, fitted with Maudslay's shifting blades, having a diameter of 16ft., a pitch of 25ft., and a length of 3ft. Sin. The engines worked most admirably, and without a hitch of any kind throughout the trial. The maximum number of their revolutions was 64. The steering gear of the Simoom is the first of its kind introduced into her Majesty's navy, and is an improvement upon the principle which may be seen applied on some of the Clyde built steam vessels. On the shaft of the steering wheel, which stands between the funnel and the foremast is fitted a wheel which gears into a pinion, the shaft of the latter having on it a pitch wheel. ,Over this pitch wheel works a pitch chain, which, leading through guide pulleys on each side of the wheel, communicate with the rudder tillers by bars and chain links. The whole arrangement answered perfectly yesterday in testing the steering of the ship under all conditions of position and speed, and the very excellent manner in which the work has been done reflects great credit on the dock yard officers who have had its supervision. The Simoom will be placed in dock to-morrow to carry out some slight alterations in the banjo-frame of her screw, examine her valves, &c. Capt. Lethbridge may congratulate himself on having the command of one of the best appointed troopships under the what larger tonnage, but none can equal her in accommodation and general arrangements in pro portion to tonnage, nor can any claim equality wit h her in efficiency of machinery. The Scorpion, turret ship, was dismantled under the sheers of the old basin in Portsmouth dockyard yesterday, preparatory to undergoing the alterations and repairs recommended in the surveys held upon the ship.
