Admitting to the fullest extent that the acts done by the King Theodore were a violation of the principles of international law, there could be no doubt that there had been a certain amount of neglect and indecorous treatment by our Foreign office of a sovereign with whom we had a treaty of alliance, in having refused to answer the despatch which he had sent to the Queen for nearly a year and a half, and he thought the time had arrived when a mission of a charac ter that would be acceptable to the King might be sent to him with the- view of obtaining the release of the prisoners. . _ The HALF-YEARLY INTEREST on the above OBLI GATIONS, duc let July, 1865, will be PAYABLE on and after that date at the Offices of the company, 15.

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing the business of the old-established and well-known private Bank of Messrs. I. Barned and Co. in Liverpool, and organ ising it on the broader basis of a joint-stock company, under the Limited Liability Act. The Bank, which was founded in 1809, has done a large and, continually-increasing business, and there is no doubt that in its new and extended form still more satisfactory results will be realised. The Directors have received most encouraging promises of support, both in Liverpool and London ; but, in making the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the present customers of the Bank. The purchase money for the business has been fixed at £160,000, payable by mstalmepfs spread over two years, as stipulated in the agreement. a this sum, on comparing it with the profits shown by:" ;Ism. I. Barned and Co. to have been realised, and their igrarantee of the assets taken over, cannot be considered other than a moderate payment for a lucrative business placed at once in the haiads of the shareholders. The Bank will take over the business of Messrs. I. Darned an I Co. as from the Ist of July, 1865, and Messrs. I. Barned and Co. will guarantee the payment of all debit balances (including bills and credits running) standing in their books on that day. The business will have the advantage of the active super vision of the present partners in the Bank, who have agreed to act as Directors for five years, and will retain a large interest in the Company. Messrs. I Darned and Co. are willing to sell at a valua tion the present Bank premises, and any of their adjoining property, if the directors wish to secure it, and, if required, to leave the purchase money on mortgage for ten years at 41 per cent. The remuneration of the ordinary Directors is to be fixed by the shareholders at their annual meetings, but powe r i s taken in the articles of association to appoint one or more of their number as Managing Directors, whose extra re muneration will be determined by the Board. Copies of the Company's memorandum and articles of association, and of the agreement for the transfer of Messrs. I. Barned and Co.'s business, can be seen at the offices of the solicitors of the Company. Application for shares must be accompanied by a pay ment of the deposit of £1 per share. In the event of no allotment being made the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will, so far as required, be applied towards the payment due on allotment.

Secretary. THE LONDON FINANCIAL ASSOCIATION (Limited) offer for SALE by Public Tender. L 130,00 , being the whole of the A PRIORITY STOCK of the BETTERING, THRAPS T ON, and HUNTINGDON RAILWAY, entitled under powers conferred by the said Company's Acts of Parliament to a Perpetual Dividend of 5 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly out of the Profits, in preference to the Ordinary Stock, and ranking next to the Company's Debentures. • Interest guaranteed by Messrs. Waring for three years, from Ist July, 1865. By the following prospectus it will be seen that the interest on the Debentures is £3,780 And on the A Priority Stock 6,500 Being together £10,280 annually, and as the line is to be worked by the Midland Company for seven years at 40 per cent., a gross receipt of £17,200 per annum will be sufficient to pay interest on the A Priority Stock as well as on the Debentures. The coal traffic alone is estimated to produce one-third more than the above amount, independent of the ordinary sources of traffic. The A Priority stock is therefore most amply secured, and presents an eligible investment for trustees and other parties seeking a security paying a fixed dividend at a good rate. With the view of removing any doubt as to the dividend, and in order to give ample time for the development of the traffic, Messrs. Waring Brothers guarantee for three years the interest on the said Priority Shares. Tenders for the whole, or any portion of the above Stock, will be received at the offices of the Association, South Sea House, Threadneedle-street, up to Tuesday, 11th July, at One o'clock, when the tenders will be publicly opened and the Stock will be allotted to the highest bidders, provided the prices offered are not below the minimum, which will be fixed in the usual manner before the Tenders are opened. In case of equality of Tenders beyond the amount required a pro rata distribution on such Tenders will be made. A deposit of £5 per cent. must accompany each Tender. The balance to be paid on the 18th July, when the Stock will be placed in the purchaser's name without expense. South Sea House, Threadneedle-street, Ist July, 1865.

This railwayhas been constructed in the most substantial manner by Messrs. Waring Brothers, within the capital authorised by the Acts of Parliament 25 and 26 Vict., cap. 173, 2& and 27 Vict., cap. 203. It is 26 miles long, running out of the Midland system at Kettering, touching the Lon don and North Western at Thrapston, and the Great Northern and Great Eastern at Huntingdon, and will be opened on the ensuing Ist of August. The total share capital is £230,000 ; of this the A Shares amounting to £130,000, are entitled, under powers con ferred by the Company's Acts, to a priority in dividend of £5 per cent. in perpetuity, ranking next after the deben tures, so that they are substantially preference shares. Messrs. Waring Brothers guarantee the interest on the A Priority Shares for three years from Ist July, 1865. By the Acts of Parliament the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of their subscription in the usual manner. The B or deferred shares receive all the surplus after payment of five per cent. to the Priority Shareholders. The railway traverses ono of the richest agricultural districts of England, in which also iron-stone and clay of fine quality have recently been developed. It is to be worked under Parliamentary sanction by the Midland Company, who, by agreement with the Great Eastern Company, have powers of running onwards from Hunting don by St. Ives to Cambridge, so that a complete and most direct connexion will be established between the whole of the Great Eastern system and the manufacturing and mine ral Midland districts, including Derby, Leicester, Birming ham, Nottingham, Sheffield, and the Northern manufac turing population. A reference to the map will show the importance of the line as a connecting link between the centre and the east of England. The Midland Company are to work and maintain the lino for 40 per cent. of the gross receipts during seven years, and for 50 per cent. in perpetuity thereafter. The traffic will obviously, therefore, be large. It is be lived, indeed, that the transport of coal alone will furnish a remunerative return upon the capital now offered to the public. The greater part of that traffic, now going into the eastern counties by the circuitous route of Peter borough, must hereafter go via Huntingdon, as its shortest and best course. This quantity is estimated at 300,000 tons a year, which, at the rate of d.i per ton per mile, would yield £24,375 gross, or £14,625 net after payment of work ing e xpenses. The net return on coal, therefore, after de duction of £3,78 0 , the debenture interest, would be £10,845. To pay the dividend on the Priority Shares only £6,500 (beyond the debenture interest) is required ; so that, unless the anticipations of those best qualified to judge are greatly erroneous, there would bo from the coal traffic alone a net surplus of about .£4,350 annually beyond the dividend on the A Priority Shares. And if the general traffic from passengers, merchandise, cattle, and iron ore should realise only a net amount equal to that derived from the coal, the Company would have a clear annual income of £29,000 after deducting working expenses, whilst the first charges for debenture interest and dividend on these shares would absorb £10,300 only. In short, a gross traffic of only £l2 15s. per mile per week (£25 per mile being the minimum anticipated by the most competent railway authorities) would suffice to pay debenture interest and a dividend of five per cent. on the A or Priority Shares, after deducting working expenses at 40 per cent.

This Company has been formed for tho purpose of ac quiring and uniting under one management the following Hotels, all of which are now in possession of first-class businesses, and in the receipt of very considerable and re munerative incomes. The Trafalgar Tavern, The Ship Tavern, at Greeenwich. The Yacht Tavern, The Castle Hotel, The White Hart Hotel, at Windsor. Radley's Hotel, at Bridge-street, Blackfriars, and The St. James's Hall, and the extensive Public Rooms and Restaurant attached thereto. These large and valuable properties present features of a character which give them a special claim to the atten tion of the public, inasmuch as from the moment that they are acquired by the Company they will yield a large and highly remunerative return. The death of Mr. Charles Hart, and the failing health of Mr. Thos. Quartormaine, the late proprietors of the Tra falgar and the Ship at Greenwich, are the sole reasons for these valuable properties being now disposed of. Both of these gentlemen, while in the occupation respectively of the Trafalgar and Ship Taverns, realised large fortunes in a few years. The Yacht Tavern has been acquired for the purpose of giving increased accommodation to the Tra falgar, which has been found to be much needed. It is proposed to rebuild the premises in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, which are wholly inadequate to the great in crease of passenger traffic that the vicinity of the terminus of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway may be ex pected to produce. This additional accommodation will be even more urgently required when the above-mentioned station becomes, as it very shortly will, the terminus of the Great Northern, the Groat Western, the Midland, the South-Western, and Metropolitan Railways. The business of the two Hotels at Windsor will be united, and for that purpose new premises will be constructed upon the site of the White Hart, which stands opposite the principal entrance to Windsor Castle. The new hotel will possess a first-class refreshment room adjoining the ter minus of the Great Western Railway. The Castle Hotel will be turned into shops, from which a large increase of income may be anticipated. The returns of the St.James's Hall and Restaurant, which are at present under different managements (but which will be now united) are about £40,000 per annum. The Trafalgar, at Greenwich, is held under a lease, of which about 31 years are unexpired, at the annual rent of £460. The Ship, at Greenwich, is held under a lease, of which about 68 years are unexpired, at the annual rent of £5OO. The Yacht, at Greenwich, is held under a lease, of which 18 years are unexpired, at the annual rent of £lOO. The Castle and White Hart Hotels are freehold. The St. James's Hall and Restaurant (and three houses in Regent-street, in connexion therewith) are held under leases direct from the Crown for unexpired terms varying from about fifty to sixty years, at aggregate ground-rents amounting to about £2,000 a year. Radley's Hotel, and the valuable space of ground adjoin ing, containing about 25,000 square feet, are held under an agreement for a lease of 99 years from Christmas, 1864, at the annual rent of £3,500, and it is believed that the ground, not now occupied by ..the existing hotel, would readily produce an income nearly sufficient to cover the whole of such rent. The prices at which the whole of the above properties, including the goodwill of the late proprietors, have been acquired, is the sum of £185,000. The stock, furniture, and wines taken over by the Com pany will be paid for by valuation in the usual way. In the undertakings of a similar nature hitherto presented to the public, the greater portion of the capital has been absorbed by the erection of new and expensive buildings, and by the purchase of the furniture, plant, &c., required for the opening of large establishments, and it has also been necessary to create fresh business ; but the present project possesses the advantage that all the properties purchased are now in active and highly profitable working, and the capital to be expended in building will be laid out only to provide such enlarged accommodation as shall bo found ab solutely requisite for the demands of the public. It is estimated that the dividend upon the capital re quired to be called up, based upon the result of the last three years' working of the different establishments, will amount to a minimum of 15 per cent. per annum, and the vendor from whom 'the Company purchases, in order to testify his confidence in the undertaking, has agreed to guarantee a minimum dividend of 10 per cent. during a period of five years. -There will be no promotion money paid, and the preli minary expenses will be borne by the vendor. In consequence of inquiries which have already been made, the Directors have decided also t o receive applica tions,for allotments of one-fourth of the capital, viz., 5,000 shares, fully paid up. Such shares to bear dividend from the date of payment. Applications for shares in either of the accompanying forms may be made to the Secretary at the offices of the Company; or to to the Bankers, B ro kers, and Solicitors. But no application will be entertained until the deposit of £1 per share on the number applied for has been duly paid to the Company's Bankers ; in the event of no allotment being made to the Applicant, the deposit will be promptly returned In full.!

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who Obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which ton many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl• t above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous grins of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a register Quack Di rectory, by con,ulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, white they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01 course you do not want it on account of its warnings for ycgie own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large.

CLAIMS OF MR. JACKSON. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Govern ment would consent to lay upon the table of the house the papers in the Foreign-office relating to the claims of Mr. Jackson on the Russian Government. Earl RUSSELL said that tho claims in question were of a private character, and as such tho Government could not interfere with the matter. Lord CHELMSFORD called attention to the claims of half-pay officers of the Royal navy under the Orders of Council of 1851 and 1856. The Duko of SOMERSET explained the operation of these orders, and contended that no injustice had been done to this class of officers. Their demands had been considered by several Boards of Admiralty, which, acting upon the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, had been obliged to come to an adverse decision. After some remarks from Lords SHREWSBURY and HARDWICKE the matter dropped, and their lordships ad journed at half-past six. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.

THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed —Earl of Winchilsea's Estate, Navan and Kingscourt Rail way, Rattray's Estate, and Southern Railway. COTTAGES IN SCOTLAND. Iu reply to Mr. KINNAIRD, Sir G. GREY said he had but a short time ago received a report from the Inclosure Commissioners, but he would lay it on the table without the slightest delay. THE MACKAY GITN. In reply to Mr. J. EWART, The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the Mackay gun had been sent to Shoeburyness for trial, and had accord ingly been tried by the Ordnance Select Committee. No report had yet been received, nor was it usual to forward such reports to the Government until trials of that nature were all finished. No order had been given to put this gun through competitive trials with other guns, and it therefore would not be fired in competition with the service gun. It would be very inconvenient to lay the report on the table until a decision had been arrived at by the Secretary of War. He did not think it would be likely that the report would be sent in during the present session, and therefore it would be quite impossible to lay it on the table of the house. MASTERS IN THE NAVY. In reply to Mr. CORRY, Mr. CHILDERS said it was not the intention of the Admiralty to take any further stops relating to the aboli tion of the rank of master in her Majesty's Navy than those already taken at present. No order in Council would be issued on the subject. TROOPS AT ALDERSHOT. Col. S. KNOX asked the Under Secretary for War whether it was intended to grant field allowances to the flying columns at Aldershot ? Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was not usual to grant field allowances to such of the troops unless they were under the fire of the enemy. Ho would, however, make inquiry into the subject. THE LEEDS BANKRUPTCY COURT. Mr. HUNT said on Monday next ho should submit a motion to the house to the effect that the evidence taken before tho committee on this subject disclosed a system of obtaining official employment by corrupt means, and that the evidence taken before the committee with respect to the case of Leonard Edmunds shows a laxity on the part of the Lord Chancellor, and that such laxity is highly reprehen sible, and calculated to throw discredit on the high pffices of the State. (Hear, hear.) THE LUNACY COMMISSION. Col. S. KNOX said on Monday next he should ask a question of the Government, whether a pension had been granted by the Lord Chancellor to Mr. Winslow, lately one of the Masters of Lunacy, which pension had been refused by a former Lord Chancellor. Mr. LAYARD said that, if the Government had re frained from entering fully into this painful subject, it was from no desire to screen themselves or avoid full inquiry into the facts of the case. The reason_ that Earl Russell in the House of Lords, and he in the Commons, had declined to discuss the matter was simply this : the fear lest any thing should be said which, being conveyed to the 'King of Abyssinia, might conduce either to the unfortunate captives being treated with still greater severity, or even put to death. Moreover, it would have been scarcely fair that any statements should be made until a full explanation had been received from Consul Cameron. After the speech of the hon. and learned member, however, and the gross mis representations of a portion of the press, he could nolonger remain silent; but be disclaimed on the part of the Foreign Office all responsibility for any unpleasant consequences that might ensue. The hon. member then went througha lengthened narrative of the circumstances which had led to the imprisonment of the consul and missionaries, and which unhappy result he attributed entirely to constant unauthorised interference in the internal affairs of Abys sinia by Consul Plowden and his successor Captain Came ron, and to the proceedings of rival missions, With regard -tartixr - saisiiimasosirween this-oeseetarantat-thenEing, - -tho , fact was that the latter had annulled the treaty we had concluded with his predecessor, and was desirous of extend ing his dominions by aggressions on his neighbours, and especially by exterminating the Turks ; and her Majesty's Government had refused to receive a mission from him un til he had renounced his ideas of conquest. He should say, therefore, that if the letter containing that request were at this moment to be put into his hands, that it required no answer. The proposal had been made by Sir W. Coghlan to send him with some ships of war and a numerous suite ; but whit was to be done, if the Government acceded to the suggestion and the entire suite were seized and imprisoned by the King ? Were they to march a British army over the arid sands of the desert to the capital of Abyssinia, which, according to the latest intelligence, was in pos session of a body of rebels ? He had it on the very highest authority that if a mission were sent out, it would at once be thrown into prison by the King. For what the King wanted was to bring such a pressure upon the British Government that they should assist him in carrying out his designs upon the Turks. Everything that could be done, he assured the house, should be done to ob tain the deliverance of the unfortunate captives. Infor mation had been received from them up to the end of May, at which time, although in confinement, they were all in good health. Captain Cameron was even in good spirits, and there was reason to hope that we should sh9rtly hear of their release. Mr. LIDDELL could not help thinking that King Theo dore had heard something of British policy in China and Japan, and that this was the true cause of the jealousy he entertained of us, and of his ordering Consul Cameron to quit Gondar. After a few observations from Mr. H. SEYMOUR, who inquired iu vain what steps the Government intended to take, the subject dropped. Mr. HENNESSY called attention to the delay of justice in the Arms (Dyce Sombre) suit brought against the Indian Government, and a recent proceeding of the Secre tary of State for India in endeavouring to overrule a deci sion of the Queen in Council. In the course of the discussion which succeeded, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that the whole question in dispute was whether certain property was public or private, and that from a communication ho had lately received from Sir John Lawrence he had reason to believe that the suit would shortly be brought to a conclu sion. Mr. AYRTON suggested the expediency of apointing a select committee to inquire into the course being pursued for the establishment of a lino of steam transports between England and India, and into the postal service between England and her Majesty's Eastern dominions and China via Alexandria. The Admiralty Acts Repeal Bill, the Dockyards Ports Regulation Bill, and the Admiralty Powers Bill were read a third time and passed. The other business on the paper was also gone through, and the house adjourned at five minutes past eight o'clock.

I had left him three years before. He turned me out of doors. I don't know why. There was a quarrel. I don't know what about. When I went home one day I found he had another wo man there with him. He would not allow me to stay in the house. He struck me andpushed me out of the house I wont to live with a female friend at Woolwich for six months. My husband did not make me any allowance. I had not then seen Lewis. The affair with my husband was made up. I returned to him, and he treated me worse than ever. I left him then, 14 months ago. We did not quarrel about Lewis. I never went out with Lewis. We had several quarrels about Lewis. I left him to go and live with a Mrs. Brown, and I got my living by needle work. I have lived with Lewis ten months. He is a water man on the Thames, and is 40 years of age. My husband was a rigger. I only saw m y - husband twice during that time. He came to my house three weeks ago. One of the children nfluw .1- cry, .3 cut my throat. He attempted to take my life. The land lady came and calmed him. He then wanted me to return and live with him, but I refused. He then went away. The second time I saw him was on Wednesday night, at ten o'clock, at the Old Ford Station. I was walking with Lewis. Inspector Kerressy said that deceased called when his wife was in the house during the day, but she would not see him. The witness continued—Deceased said, " I have caught you at last." Ho took a pistol out of his pocket and at tempted to shoot Lewis. A gentleman passing wrested the pistol from him. Deceased then ran after Lewis and took another pistol. 1 ran away. He shot Lewis. He then ran up the road after me, but missed me, for he ran the wrong way. I had the first pistol with me. I had helped with the gentleman to wrest it out of my husband's hand. I cannot identify the pocket pistol produced as that pistol. Lewis is a married man ; his wife is living. My children are aged respectively 12 and 14. I have a child by Lewis 21 years old. A juror said the witness's evidence about Lewis was at least contradictory. The witness said that her husband knew she had the child by Lewis. He saw that child when he called upon her three weeks ago. Henry Colvin, 101, Armagh-road, said that on the night of Wednesday he saw the last witness and two men near the Old Ford Station talking excitedly. One of the men said, "I want my wife to come back to me." Lewis said that she might go, but the lady said she would not go. Lewis walked away, but the deceased called out, " Do not go away ; lam not done with you yet." The lady called out, " Oh, my God, he has got a pistol! Help !" Witness and Lewis closed in upon him as he was about to fire, and got the pistol from him. • Lewis put the pistol in his pocket and walked away. Mrs. Robinson said that she took the pistol out of Lewis's hand, and ran with it to the surgeon's. The witness said that deceased followed Lewis and shot him with another pistol. Witness ran and supported Lewis who said, "I can stand; don't put me down." The do ceased ran up the road, and standing in the middle of it cut his throat with a razor. He fell, and crawled on one side. The police, who had heard the report of the pistol, came running up by that time. Mr. Garman was called, and said that deceased was quite dead. The deceased was put on a stretcher and carried to the doadhouso. Alfred Barnes, a lad, gave evidence similar to the last witness, and added that when Lewis got the first pistol ho tried to discharge it downwards, but it would not go off. The deceased took out another pistol, put a cap on it, and running after Lewis shot him. He then ran to find his wife, and coming to a young woman presented the pistol at her. He seemed to see she was the wrong woman, and he threw the pistol down. Ho pulled out a razor and went down the road. Ho then jumped about a bit, as if glad, and then cut his thoat. Witness ran for the police. This happened in the Tredegar-road. Miss Lucy Hutchinson, Globe-road, Mile-end, said that she was on the evening in question going towards Fairfield road when she heard a pistol shot. A man came towards her as if running after some one. He came in front of her and looked at her. Her eyes were half out of his head and he had the appearance of a madman. He had something in his hand. She believed it was a pistol. He seemed to think that he was mistaken, and he went away. Joseph Nicholls, 450 K, said that he was called in to the deceased, and found him in the Tredegar-road with his throat cut. Witness got a handkerchief from a gentleman and tried to staunch the blood. He died almost imme diately. Witness found on him a silver watch and 17s. 10d. in money. Joseph Goodson, 227 K, said that he found a recently discharged pistol in the Tredegar-road about 50 yards from where the 'deceased lay. There was a spent cap on the pistol. The shot in the loaded pistol was duck shot. Mr. Cornelius E. Garman, Fairfield-road, Bow, said that he was called by the police to see the deceased in Tre degar-road. He was quite dead ; his throat was fearfully cut, all the great vessels being divided. His death must have been instantaneous. The wound had been inflicted with a razor. A juror asked whether the deceased was sober at the time the dreadful occurrence took place. Susannah Holmes, 9, Bermuda-street, Mile End-street, deceased's landlady, said that deceased lived as a bachelor in her house. He lived with no woman. He was a very sober, quiet man. For the.last month he seemed to be out of his mind. He said on Wednesday afternoon that he could not bear to see his wife with another man and that he could not stand it any longer. After tea he said, 1, Now I must have a glass for the last time, for I will do it." Witness took no notice, for he had often said he would kill Lewis if he could not get his wife. He was quite sober at the time. He used to fret like a child. The Coroner having summed up, The jury returned a verdict, " That deceased committed suicide iu the public road while in a state of mental de rangement." NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.—Mr. F. S. Blockey, of Baghdad, has forwarded to the National Life boat Institution £5, being the sum received by him from Mr. Percival, late of the Indian Telegraph, for the recovery of the body of the late Mr. E. Archer, who was drowned off Maaghil, near Busreh, on the 18th February last. THE TAX ON COTTON.—As there appears to be a wide difference of opinion even among well-informed men in all quarters as to the precise effect of the executive proclamation of the 13th inst. on the cotton trade, it is thought proper to state that all restrictions on trade in that article east of the Mississippi are removed, and the only tax it is now required to pay is that of two cents. per pound imposed by the internal revenue laws. New York Herald. HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF SCOT. LAND.—The half-yearly meeting was held at Edinburgh on Wednesday, the Earl of Rosslyn presiding. 120 new members were balloted for and admitted.

WIFE-BEATER IN A POLICE -CELL.—. Yesterday an inquest was held in Red Cross-street, on the body of John Schooly, aged 95 years. It appears that on Tuesday the deceased was taken into custody by the police for a brutal assault on his wife, and locked up in a cell of the Moor-lane station. On Wednesday morning ho was found to bo de ad, and the medical evidence showed that death had resulted from softening of the brain. The jury returned a verdict that deceased was found lying dead in a cell at the Moor-lane police station, and that his death Was caused by softening of the brain. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT BRUTON.—FROME, Friday.—This morning the pointsman, James Andrews, who was yesterday taken into custody on the charge of manslaughter in connection with the fatal occur rence at the Bruton Railway station, was brought before C. Barton, Esq., at the Wincanton Town-hall, in custody of Sergeant Sheppard, of the county constabulary, Mr Burton, superintendent of the Great Western Railway police, and Mr. Morrison, the inspector.

Mr. Barton remanded him till such time as further inquiry shall have been made into the mat ter. The injured men, we are glad to say, are progressing as favourably as it is expected they can from the severe shock they received.
