London. • The experience of the last few years proves that for ran- Way companies suburban and metropolitan traffic is the most remunerative. What might have been the profits made had the taking of building land by railway companies been allo aced needs but the simple fact stated, that land at the various suburban fermini of the London railways has in many cases more than trebled in value. . This Associition is formed to carry through a scheme which embraces the possession of a line of railway starting from the large manufacturing town of Belfast to Bangor, via Holywood, having not only a large and increasing suburban, but sea-side traffic, both for permanent residences and excursions, also the advantage of land with sea frontage for building purposes. Its success can therefore hardly admit of a doubt. That portion of the Railway, 41 miles of which (from Belfast to Holywood) has been open since 1848, yields an enormous return on its cost of construction ; and since the 18th of May last, by the opening of an addi tional 7f miles to Bangor, nearly 70 per cent., on previous traffic has been gained, and without a very largo increase of rolling stock the numbers seeking conveyance cannot be carried. The line, which is at present single, will therefore at once be doubled, and - ample rolling stock provided. The traffic returns show, in the 41 miles, the following results : Passengers. Increase. • Week ending 4th June, 1865 10,041 sth „ 1864 ... 6,478 11 3,563 ~ 11th „ 1865...11,380 ~ 12th „ 1864... 7,246 18th „ 1865 ... 12,298 19th „ 1864... 6,080 25th „ 1865 14,809 26th „ 1864 6,958 • - 7,851 2nd July 1865 ... 11,691 3rd „ 1864... 6,497 5,194 „ 9th „ 1865...13,224 If 10th „ 1864 „. 10,065 3,159 . 1 The mileage traffic over the 71 miles will undoubtedly More than double the above when the Company has pro 'tided means for its development. Belfast is acknowledged to be one of the most prosperous cities in the United Kingdom. With the adjoining manu facturing towns it has a population of 190,000. The Population of Dublin is 254,000. The cost of the Dublin and Kingstown line of railway, unsurpassed as an in- Vestment (the £lOO stock being now £200), was £65,000 per mile. The cost of the railway from Belfast to Bangor, for a double line is, including building land, £50,000 per mile and there are in Belfast alone nhove 40,000 mill hands , all of whom are discharged from Work at ono o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and resort in such numbers to Bangor, that during the year 1864, previous to the opening of the railway beyond Holywood, no less than 208,000 persons visited Bangor by steamer alone, exclusive of those by the road. The steamer con veying these large numbers was only five months on the station. The large manufacturing towns of Lurgan, Lisbon, and Portadown also contribute to the Bangor traffic. The Belfast, Holywood, and Bangor Railway Company have, by a bill passed this session, become possessed of the miles from -Belfast to HolywOod,-tuad thus secured 12 miles of rail, giving direct communication from the great manufacturing town of Belfast to Bangor, which town may fairly be considered the Brighton of Belfast. It can be reached in twenty minutes. Its beauty of scenery is un surpassed. Bathing can be had at all states of tide, and it is very popular with all classes for residences and excur sions. When this Association has carried-out its plan of having first-rate hotel accommodation, bathing places at Holywood and Bangor, winter-gardens, concert-room, and esplanade, the result cannot fail of being highly remunerative to the shareholders. The traffic, when all the arrangements have been carried out, has been estimated by competent judges at a minimum of £1,500 per week, which will pay as high a rate of dividend as the shareholders in the Dublin and Kingstown Railway receive. The demand for houses at Bangor and along the line is so great that in the small town of Bangor, as it at present exists, rates are paid for houses for the summer season far beyond those of the most fashionable English watering Places, and farm-houses along the line are fully occupied byvisitors. An agreement has seen entered into by which this Com tatty ;will acquire not only the 12 miles of railway from Belfast, via Holywood, to Bangor, but also become the owners of very valuable building land on the sea-shore at Bangor, with a further quantity at Holywood, and the power of tak ing further eligible sites. The shareholders in the Railway Company taking their shares at par in this Company ; and the vendors of the land above-mentioned show their con fidence in the undertaking by accepting the whole of the purchase-money in shares. Investors thus have the benefits arising from a productive line of rail, and also the large profits which are so well known to be made from invest ments in land adjoining such a line of railway. Eminent contractors have gone over the works, and are prepared to enter into a contract to double the line, supply all the necessary additional rolling stock, and to construct the esplanade, roads, hotel, baths, and other public build ings, and pay to the shareholders 6 per cent. on the paid up capital for three years from the Ist September, 1865. -An influential committee in Belfast will be formed.

The objects of this Company are to carry out a contract for the purchase, from the London and North-Western Railway Company, of about 80 acres of Freehold Land (20 acres of which were laid out some years since 11 the late Sir Joseph Paxton), situated between the Menai and Bri tannia bridges, over the Menai Straits, in the county of Carnarvon, to erect and maintain, on a portion of the land, a first-class Hotel, and to dispose of the residue for building purposes.

Ken nard, and the schooner race for the club purse of .£5O, started in both classes on Wednesday, and partially re ported in The Sun of yesterday, were suspended at sunset owing to the distance at which the leading vessels were from the goal, and the light wind that had hitherto pre vailed dying away to a calm. The cutter's prize will be sailed for again on Saturday.

The list of names in both the races of the day, as well as in the adjourned race for Mr. Kennard's prize, gave pro mise of a brilliant day's sport, if only a strong wind replaced the unsteady breezes that had Travailed during the, two previous days. What, for instance, could be more inte resting in a yachting sense than a full trial of strength be tween ,the Albertine, the Witchcraft, and the Evadne, or the famous cracks comprised in Vas list of cutters ? The Hirondelle and the Hyacinth did not put in an appearance at the starting moorings. The signal gun for starting the cutters was fired at the time appointed, when sails were quickly got up by six out of the eight entered, and they wer 3 off—off, however, some east and some west, from apparently some mistake in reading the flag signal. The heads of all were eventually pointed eastward, Volante leading, and in i weather position, with Marina second, and Astarte third, all three nearly in line. Considerably to leeward of the ttree vessels named were Niobe and Christabel, the Vindex bringing up the lot as whipper in nearly half a mile astern of the leader. Wind S.S.W., r i s i ng f rom a light to a niceish breeze. Tide, east, slack. At 11h 15m 45s the Volante opened out to view south of the Noma'', from the comitittee or starting vessel, followed by the Astarte, at 11h 18m 10s, and Niobe, Vin dex, Christabel, and Marina, all in a cluster, at 11h 21m. Volante found the wind heading heron passing the Noman, and went about making a board in toward§ the I§huad--a The wind now freshened a little, and both cutters and schooners improved their - pace. At 12 32 th e Witch craft was on the port tack on the Intrigue's weather. As the cutters neared the Nab they -seemed to get the wind nearly S.S.E., as did also the schooners in the wake of the cutters. The cutters were not timed round the Nab, owing to a thick haze on the horizon preventing their flags be ing distinguished with any certainty. The schooners in weathering the Nab took a nice fresh breeze, which they brought in with them as it gradually veered round to S.W., and looked likely to continue. The cutters ran to the we,st ward with big topsails and balloon jibs set, the Marina carrying, by way of variety, a. squaresail. Some pretty close racing took place between the Niobe and Christabel in running up to the westward. The times of passing Ryde pier by the cutters were H. M. S. H. H. S.

And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder, of which the nature is at present uncertain, has lately appeared, and now prevails among cattle within the metropolis and in the neighbourhood thereof, and it is expedient to take measures for preventing such disorders from spreading, Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council do hereby, by virtue and in exercise of the powers given by the said recited act, and by the several acts continuing the same aforesaid, order as follows :- 1. If at the date of the publication of this order in the "London Gazette," there shall be any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox labouring under any contagious or infectious disorder in the possession or custody of any cowkeeper, dairyman, or dairywoman, or of any milkman or milk woman, or vendor or purveyor of milk, or of any dealer in cattle whatsoever within the City of London or within the limits of the metropolitan police district, or if at any time hereafter, while this present order shall continue in force and unrevoked, any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox, being in the possession or custody of any such person as afore said within the said City of London or within the metro politan police district shall be seized or attacked with, or be found labouring or suffering under, any such contagious or infectious disorder, notice of the existence of such dis order, or of the first appearance of such disorder in or among the cattle belonging to or in custody of any such person as aforesaid, shall i mme di a t e l y th ereu pon be given by the person in whose p ossess i on or cus t o dy s uch diseased animals or animal shall be, to the clerk of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council in waiting at the office of har Majesty's Privy Council at Whit e hall, in the county . of Middlesex ; and it shall b e l aw f u l f or the said clerk of her Majesty's Privy Council, and for all such persons as shall by writing under his hand authorise in that behalf thereupon, and at all reasonable times thereafter, to in spect or examine all or any such diseased animals or ani mal, and to report to the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council all such information and particulars as to the na ture or character of such disorder as may seem to him ex pedient for the purpose of enabling proper regulations to be made for preventing or checking the further propaga tion and increase of such disorder. 2. Every person offending against this order, and omit ting to give such notice or to permit such inspection and examination as aforesaid, shall for every such offence for feit any sum not exceeding twenty pounds, which the jus tices before whom he or she shall be convicted of such offence may think it to impose.

M. S. Albertine Witchcraft 2 19 50 Meteor The race between the Albertine, Evadne,Witchcraft, and Meteor was wanting in interest up to this point, from the tremendous lead taken from the first by the Albertine. The race between the Circe, Intrigue, and Flying Fish had so far been well contested, as Will be seen by reference to their times taken on passing Ryde Pier. Tho cutters' race, however, proved to be far the best, the struggle for first honours betweenthe Niobe, Christabel,Volante, and Astarte being very interesting. At about 2h. 40m. the wind dropped between Ryde and the west end of the course, but there was a breezy appearance with rain clouds out south-west which promised to feed the wind in the yacht's sails. The Circe weathered the buoy of the middle at 2h. 44m. 355., the Flying fish at 2h. 47m. 18s., and the Intrigue at 2h. 49m. 445. The first round was completed by the several vessels en gaged in the three races as fol LOWS :- .3.-CUTTERS. - - CLUB £5O Plll2 H. M. 8. Astarte Christabel H. M. S.

Circe Flying Fish During the passing of the cutters a rain squall set in, which lasted about 20 minutes, and boat the wind down to a calm west of the quarantine ground, putting out of the race for a time the Witchcraft and other vessels that had not then passed Ryde Pier eastward; those vessels that had passed, up to and including the Albertine, in the meantime caught another breeze, which came in from* S.S.W., and went on their course merrily. At 4 p.m. the wind in Ryde Roads was S. by E., light, and all west of the pier were on the starboard tack, the Witchcraft being the furthest in wikh tl:e land under Fishhouse creek, and the Circe loading rho lot in the light airs. The cutters at the stuntr time, the Astarte still leading, had a strong breeze, south erly, out of Brading harbour, the Albertino also catching the same breeze off Sea Niow. By tho time the Evadno had 'passed Ryde pier on the completion of her first round the leading cutter had weathered the Nab, and was running back westward, with sheets well off, before a mo derate southerly wind. The Nab was weathered by the six cutters : H. M. s. H. M. sl Astarte Christabel Volante These figures show that the race between the cutters con tinued to be as closely contested and interesting as ever, the only change up to this time since they completed their first round off Ryde pier being that the Volante had 'deprived Niobe of third place. Tho position now held by the Al bertine rendered her winning the prize for the race in which she was engaged certain, providing that the wind held up sufficiently to enable her to , finish before sunset, and also that she met with no serious accident. For Mr. Kennard's prize the chances were greatly in favour of the Circe. At 5.30, when our despatch left Ryde, the cutters were making their way westward, under a steady S.W. breeze, with no alteration in their last noted positions, with the Albertine coming west astern of them, but with no new feature of interest worth notice. The general meeting of the members of the Club took place at the Club-house, Ryde, on Monday last, at which a testimonial was unanimously voted to the secretary, Capt. J. P. Mackinnon, in recognition of his largely in creased duties during the past year, and of the valuable service ho had rendered the Club. THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA. It seldom happens that a regatta takes place without a fall of rain, and it is still more unusual for the Thames N ational Regatta to be held at Putney without a deluge of water. Yesterday proved no exception to the rule, and although the weather was fine during the earlier races, yet rain commenced to fall about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and continued with a few intervals. of fair weather only until 8 o'clock in the evening, when a heavy thunderstorm broke over Putney, accompanied by a tremendous down pour and by repeated flashes of the most vividly blue lightning seen out of the tropics. The boat races commenced at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, and were under the management of the Thames Subscription Club. As a whole, the rowing was very good, but the four-oared crews which competed for the chief prize, value 100 sovs., were scarcely up to the average. The first nine races were rowed up from Putney-aqueduct on the flood, and the last four down from Hammersmith with the ebb tide. The course lay between Putney-aqueduct and Ham mersmith-bridge, or vice versa., for all the races but the fours, which finished some distance higher up the river— viz., at Chiswick-eyot. In the Open Scullers and in the Yiratermen's Apprentices races the first boat in each trial heat was alone allowed to row in the final heat, but the second boats in the former race were permitted to start for a consolation prize at the close of the day. The sports commenced with a Scullers' Race, open to the world ; first prize, 4'20 ; second, £lO ; third, £5 ; and fourth, £3. FIRST HEAT. G. Cannon, Blackwell . . 1 J. H. Clasper, Newcastle 2 H. Cole, Chelsea Henry Kelly, of Putney, was entered, but did not start, as we on Monday hinted would bo the case. The lead was at once taken up by Cole, who is remarkably quick at get ting a boat under way, Clasper going on second, and Cannon last. Just below the London Rowing Club boat house Clasper passed Cole, and Cannon also rowed up to Cole, soon afterwards leaving him. These positions were maintained up to Craven-cottage; where Cannon rapidly gained upon Clasper, and succeeded in passing him just above that well-known landmark. The Blackwall man thereafter increased or diminished his lead at his pleasure, and won very easily by three lengths ; the same distance between Clasper and Cole. SECOND MAT. R. Chambers, Newcastle i J. Sadler, Putney J. Percy, of Newcastle, was entered, but did not scull. Chambers made the most of an even start, and rowed so fast that he was clear of Sadler at the Star and Garter, and at the Bishop's-creek, just above the London Club boat-house, had increased his lead to nearly two lengths. Undei the Willows, however, Sadler began to gain upon Chambers, and at the site of the old half-mile post overlapped him, both men being driven out of their course by a barge. At Craven Cottage Chambers had again drawn himself clear, and held a lead of one length and a quarter. Tho positions of the scullors remained the same until Chambers passed the Barge-wharf, just above Craven-cottage, where Sadler put on a spurt and once more overlapped the ex-champion, but, dying away, the latter again drew ahead. Half-way between .the Barge-wharf and Rose-bank Sadler again spurted, but, catching a crab, lost the trifling advantage he had hoped to gain. At the Crab Tree Chambers led by a length and three-quarters, but just below the Soap-works Sadler made another offert, although he failed to eyerhaul Watermen's Apprentices ; open to Apprentices from Ox ford to Gravesend, inclusive. Ist Prize, Coat, Silver Badge, Freedom of the Thames, and £2 ; second, £5; third, £3 ; fourth, £l. FIRST HEAT. J. Callas, Richmond 1 A Iles, Kew 0 J. Cozen, Twickenham • W. Hoare, Hammersmith After one false start, in which three of the lads rowed nearly half a mile before they would return, the four scullers were dismissed on very fair terms, Des and Callas first showing in front, but a few feet only separated all the boats. Just above the Star and Garter, Coxen and Callas drew away from the others, but the former fouled Callas, and dropping astern also fouled Hoare, who fell overboard at Craven-cottage. In the meantime Callas had obtained a long lead, which he never forfeited, Iles rowing Coxen down, and passing under the Suspension-bridge three or four lengths ahead of him, but several lengths astern of Callas. Hoare was picked up by a waterman's skiff, and, gettinginto his wagerboat again, sculled over the remainder of the cause at his leisure. SECOND BEAT. W. Sawyer, Teddington 1 W. Dolwyn, Westminster W. Sadler, Putney 0 Sadler began to show in front soon after the start, and at the Star and Garter held a lead of nearly half a length, the other two being as nearly level as possible. Just opposite the Duke's Head Sadler appeared to be in difficulties, the nose of his boat suddenly rising about a foot from the water, and on his taking the succeeding stroke she parted amid ships. Sadler was thus left sitting in the water, the stem and stern of his wager-boat forming an angle of 40 degrees, but held together by the iron outriggers. Sawyer and Doiwyn continued the race, and were level to the half mile post, where Sawyer began to draw away, and at Craven Cottage held a lead of a length and a half. Cross ing the water, ho increased his advantage, notwithstanding a plucky effort made by Dolwyn opposite Rose Bank, and won by three lengths. THIRD HEAT. R. Pick, Thames Bank 1 W. Spencer, Chelsea 0 F. Phelps, Putney 0 Spencer and Phelps were the first to take the lead, and off the Star and Garter they were as nearly level as possible, Pick half a length astern of them, but rowing longer and more telling strokes. From Simmond's yard to the Lon don Club Boat-house, they were all on even terms, when a foul unfortunately occurred between Spencer and Phelps, and Pick was thereby placed in possession of a command ing lead which ho never forfeited. FOURTH HEAT. J. Biffen, Hammersmith C. Taylor, Westminster S. Tagg, of Moulsey, was entered, but failed to appear. Taylor had the best of the start and plied his sculls with such rapidity that he was clear of Biffen at the Star and Garter; he then pulled his left hand hard and bored Biffen across the river towards Simmons's Boatyard, the latter easing in a very straightforward way so as to let him go clear. Taylor • next drove him across to the Middlesex bank and would not allow him to 'lass. Biffen here touched Taylor's boat and claimed a foul, but the latter still obstructed him, and it was not until he was hailed from the umpire's steamer that Biffen, catching his oppor tunity, pulled in towards the Middlesex shore as Taylor came out into the tideway; and„passed him just off Craven Cottage. Taylor had the effrontery to claim the foul, but he was told that he himself was disqualified. Biffen com pleted the course at his leisure. Champion Four-oar Race, open to the world.

Tagg, G. Hammerton, stroke ; R. Ham merston, cox ... 3 A Manchester crew were likewise entered, but did not compete. This was the last race to be rowed up on the flood, but in consequence of the delay which had taken place from false starts and other unforeseen occurrences, the tide had ceased to flow when the fours went to their stations, and by the time they started had commenced to ebb with some force, so that they rowed, in fact, against tide all the way. The lead was at once taken by the Newcastle men, Hammerton's crew next, and Sadler's last. At the Star and Garter there was but little to choose between the boats, the Tyne crew still show ing slightly in front, and Hammerton's just heading Sadler's. Off the London Rowing Club Boathouse Ham merton held an advantage of a few feet, the New castle and Sadler's crew alongside one another. Oppo site the Vice-Chancellor's creek all the boats were level, a tremendous struggle taking place for the mastery. At Craven-cottage Sadler, in the centre position, showed in front by nearly half a length, the Newcastle crew in their turn being the same distance ahead of the Hammerton's four. At a couple of hundred yards above Craven-cottage, Sadler's, clear of Hammerton's, still led the Tyne crew by half a length. Off the Barge-wharf the only alteration that took place was in Hammerton's falling a second length astern of Sadler's, the Newcastle men straining every nerve to cut down the Sons of the Thames crew, but without success. At'the Crab-tree the latter were nearly clear of the Tyne four, and last, by a length and a quarter, came Hammerton's. Passing the soap works—the labour being very heavy on account of the falling tide—Sadler's drew clear of the Pride of the Tyne, and almost immediately afterwards took their water, crossing in towards the tow path shore in front of them. Approaching namme h rs other bridge, Sadler's crew made for the Surroy arch, t two crews steering out for the centre, A S it had generall y been considered a disqualification to go through the shore arch. By this means Sadler's ga ined a trifle, and passed 'under the Suspension-bridge upwards of a length and a half ahead—two lengths between the Tyne and Hammer ton's crew . This order was pres erved to Chiswick Eyot, the Sons of the Thames winning by two lengths, several lengths between second and third. The following races were rowed down to Putney Fair Oars, open to the world. First prize, £25 ; second, £lO ; third, a. F. Kilsby, Old Barge-house, and R. Cook, Oxford G. Hammerton, Kingston, and T. Hoare, Hammer smith 2 J. IL Clasper and H. Clasper, Newcastle H. Harris, Teddington, and J. W. Tagg, Moulsey 0 Cook and Hoare were the first to get away, the other crews being rather slow, and a splendid race ensued be tween the two leaders from end to end. Opposite the Distillery at Hammersmith Hoare held a lead of a third of a length, but on approaching the Soap Works allowed his boat to work out too much from the Surrey shore. A slight foul in consequence took place between his boat and Cook's, but it in no way interfered with the result of the race, and was entirely accidental. At this point—the Soap Works—the Claspers were a length astern of Cook, and two lengths ahead of Harris and Tagg. In crossing the water past the Crab-tree a ding-dong race was kept up be tween the leading pairs, Cook drawing up level, and soon afterwards gaining a lead of a third of a length. They rowed in this position until they had arrived off the Barge-wharf, where Cook, by dint of great exer tions, had increased his advantage to nearly a length, the Claspers being three lengths astern of Hoare, and three in front of Harris and Tagg. At Craven Cottage Cook took Hoare's water, and at the half-mile post held a lead of about a length and a third, which he slightly increased, during the remainder of the race, and passed the winning post somewhat less than two lengths in front. The Clas pers were third, four lengths astern of Hammerton and Hoare, and Harris and Tagg were a good fourth. ' WATERMEN'S APPRENTICES.-FINAL HEAT. J. Callas R. Pick 3 W. Biffen 4 W.

This order continued to the finish, Callas winning easily ; threo lonOhs between Pick and Biffen, and four and five between Biffen and Sawyer. scuLLErts's RACE. FINAL HEAT. R. Chambers R. Cooper G. Cannon 3 T. Wise A capital *tart wags made by all the mi n ers , w i t h the For several days careful examinations have been made, in continuation of those reported in The Sun last autumn, of the British burial mounds wad their contents, situate upon Lord Carlisle's estate at Castle Howard, with a view to the illustration of the modes of burial of ;these pre-historic tribes who inhabited the Brigantian territory. As last year, the excavations were under the direction of the Rev. W. Greenwell, M.A., Canon of Durham, and vice president of the Surtees Society, and the Rev. Mr. Bigge, vicar of Stamfordam, Northumberland, and Mr. Monkhana, of Mallon, were also present. A large number of burial mounds have been opened, all proving to be round barrows of the cremation age, but exhibiting peculiarities, as will be seen by the brief descriptions annexed, indicating various modes of burial to have been practised by the suc cessive generations of Britons who intrenched the , escarpments of the Howarclian range, at the foot of which their graves are so profusely scattered. 'The first barrow undertaken was on Hall Moor, and south-west of those opened last year ; this, indeed, was then slightly probed. Th e hone was 57 feet in diameter, and, although evidently lowered, was still 5i feet altitude, and was built of sand and loam. There had been a good deal of digging for rabbits in this tumulus, and at some period there had been a more purposed opening, the iron imple ment then used remaining in the ground. This was a curiosity in its way, resembling most of anything the hay spade of the present day. Al 4 feet trench was cut through the tumulus from the south, but nothing was found till reaching the centre, where, on the plane, the deposit of burnt bones was found, simply laid on the surface without charcoal or any accompaniment, and the mound reared round them. There were very slight traces of charcoal found, and there was no urn of any kind, nor yet any flint implement. Excavations east and west showed' that this simple burial was the only one made in the barrow. There were no traces of burning, and it would seem the body had been consumed elsewhere, and the charred bones gathered together for interment. The second excavation was made in one of the very large hones opened last year, and from which, placed upon a large concreted base, a very beautifully pectinated urnwas taken, together with a fine thumb flint. In digging eastward and partly re-working the ground of last year, another very fine thumb flint was very nearly on the site where the cinerary urn and bones were found. The full examination showed also that the burial in the urn found last year was the only one in the tumulus. The third barrow opened was one of a series of low ones—possibly much reduced by cultivation of the land at various times—placed on the summits of the natural knolls, every one of which, it is be lieved, has its separate' burial upon it. These barrows are a distinct class, and can never have had sufficient altitude to offer any serious obstacle to the plough. This harrow was west of the two others, in the adjoining Gay's Hole or Cook's Moor, and was 18 feet diameter, and 2 feet high, being formed of sandy loam. In the centre a circular hollow, 3 feet in diameter, had been sunk in natural ground to the depth of 1 foot. This contained the fragments of the burnt body, very much scattered, and the whole hollow was filled up with burnt earth and charcoal, and the sides of the hollow or basin were very much burnt. The infer ence is that the hole had been first made in the ground and then the body burnt in it, the forced earth being thrown over all. On the natural sur face of the ground and three feet south-east of this hollow a small and perfectly plain, rudely -made cinerary urn was found bottom upwards, surrounded by a considerable quantity of charcoal. The urn was empty, and crushed by the earth, but was all re covered. The fourth opening was made inct similarly placed low round barrow further west, formed of sand and ordinary soil, 16ft. diameter and If. high. In the centre of the barrow and on the natural surface there was a deposit of burnt bones, charcoal, and some description of cement, the whole being com pacted into a hard substance resembling a mass of solid - concrete. The mass was with difficulty broken, and with a view of determining the composition of the plastic material Mr. Greenwell took some portions for analysis. This was a novelty. There was no flint, nor any urn, and not much sign of burning. On an adjoining hill, west of the last, was a large tumulus-looking mound 35ft. in diameter. This large hill was thoroughly searched, but no trace of a burial could be found. There was plenty of charcoal, however. All thought that this must be a burial mound, but it was suggested that it might only be the platform or site whereon the crema. tion of the bodies had taken place and from which the fragments had been gathered for burial in the low barrows. At any rate, as a tumulus, it was a blank. That there had been burnings on it waa certain. The fifth opening was made in a well-defined tumulus 32ft. in diameter and Vt. high, to the south of No. 4. In the centre a circular hollow was found in the natural ground if t. deep by 2ft. diameter, containing the burnt body, charcoal, and burnt earth. On the south side of this hollow, and among the bones, a small incense cup, ornamented by four horizontal cord lines, but not perforated, was found. This was the first vessel of the kind found in the district. From the burnt sides of the sepulchral hollow and the great amount of burnt earth, it was thought in this case the body had been burnt on the spot. One trace of flint, a chipping, was found. The researches are being continued. The Austrian journals represent the Government of Vienna as decided on maintaining its last propo sitions. The Ost-Deutsche Post expresses itself thus :—" The situation at present is the gravest since the Italian war; of that there can be no doubt. Prussia wishes to break with Austria, and to pass over her body if she cannot mount on her shoulders to obtain her object. May all our statesmen perceive in time all the gravity of the situation, and may they act in a manner suitable to the dignity of Austria! In that way only will they fulfil their duty. We are convinced that all the Austrian populations are ready to accomplish their duty also." AN APPROPRIATE DEATH.—An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, on Wednes day evening, at the London Hospital, respecting the death, from a very singular accident., of a man named James Blackett, aged 40 years. Elizabeth Blackett, widow of the deceased, said that he was a hawker, and that he lived with her in Bethnal-green. On Thursday last he came home drunk, as he often had done before, and was very violent, and said that he would break up the home and thrash wit ness. While quarrelling with her he went out into the garden to smash the windows. Ho struck at the glass with his fists and drove them through the panes. His right arm was cut into by one of the panes, which got embedded so deep that he was not able to move Lis arm either in or out. Witness was inside in the room endeavouring to keep out of his way, because he ;ranted to illuso her ; when his arm got fixed in the glass he swore at her to come and help hi m . She did so, and with great difficulty lifted his arm off the jagged glass. The blood poured out in great volume, and she tried in vain to stop it; none of the neighbours came to help for some time, for they were afraid to appear on ac count of the row. Ultimately four policemen came and conveyed him to the hospital. Mr. G. Weller, house surgeon, said that deceased was admitted, suffering front excessive kemorrage from deep, jagged wounds on the arm. He died from his injuries on Monday last. The jury returned a verdict of "Death by accidental injuries." r A.D TERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Pills.—Bilious affec tions and stomach complaints induced by atmospheric heat or too liberal diet, if not early checked, are often at tended with serious consequences. When any one Suds his ideas less clear than usual, his eyesight dimmed, and his head dizzy, while he is indisposed for all exertion, physical or mental, he may be quite sure that he is in im mediate need of some cooling and purifying medicine. Let him send at once for a box of Holloway's pills, after a few doses of which his head will be clear again, his spirits be elevated, and all his energies be restored. Printed direc tions for the guidance of patients in the use of this admi gable medicine are affixed to every box. GREAT ST. JAMES'S HALL.—Welcome to the WIZARD of the NORTH. Crowded Houses.
