BANXERS.—The London Joint-Stock Bank This Association has been formed to consolidate and improve the Savings-Bank system ; to offeY better interest than has hitherto been allowed ; facilities for 11•7'i mlted demosit ; means of convenient withdrawal, and perfect semity to the Depwitor. The unpopularity of the present system, its acknowledged Inse curity to Depo..itors, expen:e of management, and low rate of in terest, are universally acknowledged: while in strong contrast are present - 1 the advantages of the new system of the National Savings- Association. Tha proof of the necessity which exists for this Association will he found in the fact that there are no less than 483 places, with more than 3,000 inhabitants each, that have not a Savings-Bank ; so partial in operation Is the present system. The Directors propose to supply this deficiency by the gradual estab ishment of branches: al.o to keep at the Head Office a dupli• cate of every account in the country; to strike the balance at the Head Office every June and December, from the weekly returns of the branches of the Association ; sad to exhibit the numbers of ach pass-book, with the balance due, as ascertained by such return., every June and December in each Breach Bank. After July, 1 867, they will cause returns of the Association, duly certified by the Audi tors, to be made it January and July, and a copy to be sent to every Shareholder. The Directors expect that the National Savings-Bank Associa tion will be able to pay its shareholders a large dividend on all c,sh paid up on shares. Application for Shares may now be ad iresred to the Directors of the National Savings-Bank Association (limited), 50, King William. street, Ci y, London.

ADULTERATION OF FOOD, thc. - - FINAL REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Theselect committee appointed to inquire into the adul teration of food, drinks, and drugs, and who were em powered to report their observations, together with the minutes of evidence, from time to time to the house, have made further progress in the matters to them referred, and have agreed to this their final report : Your committee have inquired into the subject referred to them, and in the course of their invbstigatiou have ex amined a great number of witnesses, comprising men of high scientific attainments, as well as those whose practi cal knowledge as dealers seemed to point them out as per sons likely to give useful information. Among the scientific witnesses examined wore Dr. Hassell, well known by his able investigations of the sub jects of adulterations of food ; Mr. Warrington, chemical operator to the Apothecaries' Company; Dr. Normandy, Mr. Simon, and Dr. Lethebv, the late and present officers of health in the City of London ; Dr. Thompson, professor of chemistry at St. Thomas's Hospital ;Mr. Redwood, pro fessor of chemistry to the Pharmaceutical Society; Mr. Simmonds, author of a work on the commercial products of the vegetable kingdom ; Mr. Postgate, a surgeon and chemical lecturer in Birmingham ; Mr. Phillip, chief officer of the chemical department of the Board of Inland Revenue ; Dr. Taylor, professor of medical jurisprudence at Guy's Hospital; Dr. Waller Lewis, medical officer to the General Post -office ; Mr. Quekett, professor in the Royal College of Surgeons; Mr. Thompson, an analytical chemist; Mr. Blyth, lecturer on natural philosophy at St. Mary's Hospital ; Dr. Challice, Mr. Wakley, coroner for Middlesex ; Mr. Jacob Bell, Dr. Carpenter, of University College ; Dr. jMoore N e li gan, o f D u b lin; Dr. Richter, and Dr. Bingleylrofesaor at the Medical Institute of Sheffield. Though the witnesses differed both as to the extent to which adulteration is carried on, and as to its nature artr', effects, your committee cannot avoid the conclusion that adulteration widely prevails, though under circumstances of very various character. As regards foreign products, some arrive in this country in an adulterated condition, while others are adulterated by the English dealer. Other commodities, again, the produce of this country, are shown to be in an adulterated state when passing into the hands of the dealers, while others undergo adulteration by the dealers themselves. Not only is the public health thus exposed to danger, and pecuniary fraud committed on the whole community, but the public morality is tainted, and the high commercial character of this country seriously lowered, both at home and in the eyes of foreign countries. Though, happily, very many refuse, under every temptation, to falsify the quality of their wares, there are, unfortunately, large numbers, who, though reluctantly practising deception, yield to the pernicious contagion of example, or to the hard pressure of competition forced upon them by their less scrupulous neighbours. Without entering into voluminous details of the evidence taken, your committee would enumerate the leading arti cles which have been proved to be snore or less commonly adulterated : these are, arrowroot, adulterated with potato and other starches; bread with potatoes, plaster of Paris, alum, and sulphate of copper; bottled fruits and vegetables with certain salts of copper; coffee with cricory, roasted wheat, beans, and mangold wurtzel ; chicory with roasted wheat, carrots, sawdust, and Venetian red ; cocoa with arrowroot, potato-flour, sugar, chicory, and some ferrugi nous red earths ; cayenne with ground rice, mustard husk, &c., coloured with red lead, Venetian red, and turmeric; gin with grains of Paradise, sulphuric acid, and cayenne; lard with potato-flour, mutton suet, alum, carbonate of gods, and caustic lime ; mustard with wheat flour and tur meric; marmalade with apples or turnips; porter and stout (though sent out in a pure state by the brewers) with water, sugar, treacle, salt, alum, cocculus indicus, grains of Paradise, nux vocaica, and sulphuric acid ; pickles and preserves with salts of copper ; snuff with various chro- ' mates, red lead, lime, and powdered glass ; tobacco with water, sugar, rhubarb, and treacle ; vinegar with water, sugar, and sulphuric acid ; jalap with powdered wood; opium with poppy capsules, wheat flour, powdered wood, and sand ; scammony with wheat-flour, chalk, resin, and sand ; confectionery with plaster of Paris and other simi lar ingredients, coloured with various pigments of a highly poisonous nature; and acid drops, purporting to be com pounded of jargonelle pear, Ribstono pippin, lemon, &c., with essential oils, containing prussic acid or other clan gorous ingredients. The adulteration of drugs is extensively practised; and when it is borne in mind that the correctness of a medical prescription rests on an assumed standard df strength and purity in the drugs or compounds employed, and how fre quently life itself depends upon the efficacy of the medi cines prescribed, it is difficult to exaggerate the evils aris• ing from this prevalent fraud. The adulteration of drinks deserves also special notice, because your committee cannot but conclude that the in toxication so deplorably prevalent is in many cases less due to the natural properties of the drinks themselves than to the admixture of narcotics or other noxious substances in tended to supply the properties lost by dilution. Though adulterations prevail more or less in all districts, it may be assumed, as a rule, that the poorer the district the greater is the amount of adulteration. Nor have the poor the same power to protect themselves against such frauds as their richer neighbours ; they are necessarily limited to such means of purchase as are afforded by the immediate locality in which they reside, and are, moreover, too often bound to one dealer by tho facilities of credit which he affords them. These adulterations may be classified under three heads, those of which the object is to lower the price of the article adulterated by the admixture of substances of a cheaper kind ; those which are intended to improve the appearance of the adulterated article, and thus in many cases to deceive the public as to its quality; and those which are practised for the purpose of simulating some pro perty injured or destroyed in the process of adulteration. Adulteratione in each of these classes are of two kiucls- those in which are employed substances of an innocuous character, and those in which the mixtures are more or less injurious to health, either directly by the noxious properties of the ingredients, or indirectly by lowering the nutritive qualities of the article adulterated. In dealing with these various adulterations it is neces sary to distinguish between the pecuniary fraud practised on the public and the injury to public health. If, as regards the adulteration of articles with substances of a cheaper and innocuous character, the public derive the full benefit of this cheapness in a lower price, it would be difficult, if not unwise, for the Legislature to interfere, unless it could do so by requiring that every such article be sold as a mixture, as distinguished from the article in its pure state. This the law already requires as to the article of coffee, and also as to the article of bread, which, unless made of wheat flour alone, must be dis tinctly masked with the letter IL But, whenever an ar ticle is so adulterated as to involve pecuniary fraud or in jury to health, it appears to your committee to be the duty of the Legislature to provide some efficient remedy. It has been objected that the best course will be to leave the buyer to take care of himself. But there are many adulterations which it is impassible for the buyer to detect. Already the law takes note of frauds iu weights and mea sures, of injuries likely to result to the public health from the sale of unwholesome animal food, and indeed of many adulterations, though in most cases only with a view to fiscal considerations, and not to those of a moral or sani tary character. It is said, too, that there are many frauds which legisla tion cannot reach or punish. But, on the other hand, it would be difficult to tell the numberless frauds which le gislation may prevent. The great - difficulty of legislating on this subject lies in putting an end to the liberty of fraud without affecting the freedom of commerce. With a view to form an opinion as to the best remedy for this growing evil, your committee have obtained evidence as to the law on adulterations in other countries, and es pecially in France, Belgiarn, Germany, and the United States. In this object your committee have been materi ally assisted by returns procured through the kindness of Lord Clarendon from some of our ministers at foreign courts. As to the present state of the law in this country, your committee received much valuable information from Mr. S. R. Goodman, the legal advisor to the justices of the City of London. The following is a brief statement of the laws of different countries on the subject of adulterations. In France, a law, bearing date the 27th March, 1851, confirmed and extended the penal code to all adulterations in "alimentary and medicinal substances!' T 4 this law was added ono of the sth May, 1555, applicable to the adulteration of drinks. The law of March, 1851, wa• founded upon two reports of a commission of inquiry, bearing date the 24th Jan. and 25th Feb., 1851. The law of May, 1855, was preceded by a like report made the 29th March, 1855. The provisions of these laws apply Ist. To those who shall adulterate any alimentary cr me dicinal substances intended for sale. 2. To those who shall sell, or expose for sale, such sub stances, knowing them to be adulterated. If the article adulterated contains substances injurious to wealth, the fine ranges from 50 to 500 franc, with impri somata from 3 months to 2 years ; these punishments being applicable even in cases where the adulteration is known, to the buyer or consumer. A penalty of 16 to 25 francs, and imprisonment from 6 t 9 10 days, er one of these modes of punishment, according to circumstances, is imposed on those who, " without legi . Amato cause," shall have in their shops or warehou - .3 any rush adulterated articles. If the adulterated article be in- jut ious to health the fine may be increased to 50 francs and the imprisonment to 15 days. The fino and imprisonment may be doubled if a delin quent has been previously convicted within 5 years of his last offence. • The adulterated articles shall be confiscated, and if inju rious to health destroyed. The authorities may make public announcement of the particulars of the offence by placard and advertisement. A special " ordonmance do police," in Paris, applies to the manufacture and sale of confectionery, and forbids the use, for colouring, of all mineral matter, and all poisonous vegetable matter. Confectioners are required to envelope coloured confectionery in paper marked with their name and address, and are made personally responsible for acci dents arising from the consumption of the articles they sell. Confectioners' shops are to be visited, for the purpose of seeing that they conform to those regulations. As an additional precaution, the " Conseil de Salubritd" of the city of Paris, a body consisting of eminent physicians, chemists, and ,other persons, publishes a list of colouring matters which may be employed by confectioners, with in. structions as to the manner of mixing them, and a list of the colouring matters, the use of which is expressly for bidden. . In Belgiuth, a law, bearing date the 17th March, 1355, declares that all who shall have adulterated or caused to be adulterated any articles of fool or drink intended for sale shall be liable to au imprisonment from eight days to one year, and a fine from 50f. to 1,000 f., or to either punish ment alone. The penalties are divided into two classes. The first applies to persons who have adulterated, or caused to be adulterated, eatables, drinkable liquors, or any articles of food intended to be offered for sale, the penalty being, as already stated, from eight days to a year's imprisonment, and a fine of from 50f. or I,ooof. In the same class are included persons who shall knowingly sell, or expose for sale, adulterated articles, or shall have given instructions calculated to facilitate or load to such adulteration. The second class comprises persons who unintentionally sell, or expose for sale, adulterated food, find who are liable only to simple police punishments. The mere fapt of knowingly keeping adulterated articles of food intended for sale renders the person FO offending liable to imprisonment from a week to a year, and to a flue of from 25f. to 500 f. When the punishment reaches six months' imprisonment the court can withdraw the "patente" (licence to trade) from the offender during the whole period of his iecarceration, which is equivalent to preventing him from carrying on his business. A copy of the conviction is to be posted up at the door of the person condemned, or inserted in such journals as the court may determine, at the expense of the culprit. All adulterated articles of food in the possession of the delinquent aro to be confiscated. In Prussia the municipal law enacts that " no persons shall knowingly sell or communicate to other persons for their use articles of food or drink which possess properties prejudicial to health, under a penalty of fine or bodily punishment." Those who are found guilty of knowingly selling victuals which are damaged or spoiled, or mixed with deleterious additions, may be held incapable of car rying on the same branch of business. The articles may be confiscated. Whosoever mixes articles of food with foreign substances for the purpose of increasing their weight or bulk, or of deceiving purchasers as to their quality, is liable,to be proceeded against for fraud. With regard to drugs the • law forbids their being dispensed by any other parsons than apothecaries legally appointed. In Hamburg adulterations of food are the subject of police regulations, involving fine and imprisonment. In Lubeck such adulterations are treated as acts of fraud, and dealt with by police authority. The grinding of blighted corn with good corn is prohibited. In Holland, by a law of the 22d May, 1829, any person adulterating bread or flour, or any article of food or drink, with any poisonous matter, is liable to an imprisonment of from two to five years, and a fine of from 200 to 500 florins, and to the revocation of his "patents" during his impri sonment. The same penalties apply to those who know ingly sell.such adulterated articles, and to those who supply the forbidden ingredient, knowing the purpose for which it is to be used. A less severe punishment is in flicted on those who adulterate articles of food or drink with ingredients not poisonous, but injurious to health, as well as on those who offer them for sale. To the other penalties are added the publication of the names of the offenders, and the confiscation of the adulterated goods. In Spain, the law, besides authorising the inspection of drugs at the custom-house, permits the dispensing of drugs only by apothecaries legally appointed, and absolutely for bids the sale of secret medicines. In the United States special laws have been passed " to prevent the importation of adulterated and spurious drugs sud medicines." By these it is enacted that all drugs and medicines shall, before passing the custom-house, be exa mined and appraised, as well in reference to their quality and purity as to their value. All medicinal prep orations are to have the name of the manufacturer affixed to each parcel. Adulterated or deteriorated drugs and medicines are not to be allowed to pass the customhouse ; but the owner or consignee has the right of calling fur re-exami cation, or further analysis, if dissatisfied with the exami ner's return. The Secretary of the Treasury is to appoint suitably-qualified persons, at each of the ports of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston, and New Orleans, as special examiners of drugs and medi cines. A Treasury minute proscribes the manner of carry ing out the act, and gives a list of the principal articles, with the result of special tests agreeing with the standards referred to in the law ; and all articles are entitled to entry when ascertained by analysis to conform to those standards. Patent and secret medicines aro subject to the same exa mination and disposition after examination as other medi cal preparations, and are not permitted to pass the cus tom-house unless the examiner be satisfied that they are fit and safe to be used for medicinal purposes. In the state of New York the law expressly forbids adul teration of flour, hops, and spirits. Any one knowingly offering for sale flour mixed with Indian meal, or with any other mixture, or with unsound flour, is liable to a penalty of 5 dols. for every cask. Any one mixing with hops any foreign or improper substances, or in any manner adulter ating their quality, is deemed guilty of misdemeanour, and punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both. Any one adulterating spirits with any poisonous substance, or sub. stance injurious to health, or any one selling such spirits, knowing them to be adulterated, is deemed guilty of misde meanour, and punishable by fine or imprisonment or both, the fine in no case to exceed 1,000 dols., and the imprison ment in no case to exceed four years. The law also pro vides against the adulteration of oils, against the deceptive packing of bay, and even against frauds in linens and other goods containing fewer yards of measurement than are marked upon them. In England the law affords redress to consumers in cases of adulteration by action, if the injury be individual in its character; by indictment, if the injury be general ; by summary charge before a magistrate; and by proceedings instituted by the Excise: The process of action or indict ment is at once too costli , and too cumbrous for general adoption. That by summary charge before a magistrate, as well as that originating with the Excise, applies only to a few special articles which are named in particular acts, or which aro subject to the supervision, for fiscal purposes, of the Board of Inland Revenue; but your com mittee are of opinion that it would be most desirable that, in all cases of the sale of an adulterated or fictitious ar ticle, a cheap and easy remedy, by summary charge before a magistrate, should be afforded to the person upon whom the fraud had been practised, and they would strongly re commend the propriety of such a change in the present law on this subject as would effect this object. Your committee desire specially to call attention to the provisions of the Bread Act, Gth and 7th Wm. IV., c. 37. Sect. 2 provides that bread may be made of wheat flour, barley, rs e, oats, buckwheat, Indian corn, peas, beans, rice, or potatoes, with any common salt, pure water, eggs, milk, berm, leaven, potato, or other yeast, and with no other ingredients, subject to certain regulations. Any mixture besides those allowed in Sect. 2 involves a penalty of 101., or not less than Si., or in default an imprisonment not exceeding six months, with or without hard labour; and if the magistrate think fit, publicity of the offence by advertisement. Any one mixing with the corn, meal, or flour any ingredient not the genuine produce of the corn or grain ; or any one selling, or offering for sale, separately or mixed, any meal or flour of one sort of grain, as the meal or flour of any other sort, or any ingredient mixed with the meal or flour so sold, is liable to a penalty of 20/. and not less than 51. All bread made with mixed meal or flour must be marked with a Roman M ; the penalty for neglecting this provision being a fine not exceeding 10s. for every pound weight of broad not so marked. Magis trates or peace officers by their warrants, 'nay search pro mises, and seize any adulterated flour or bread, and search for any forbidden ingredient. The penalty, if ingredient. for adulteration are found, is la or not less than 40s. for the first offence, Si. for the second, and 101. for every sub sequent offence), 'or, in default, six months' imprisonment, with publicity as to the names of offenders. Th e . ac t also provides for an appeal to quarter sessiores, and declare: ',hat no person shall be convicted unless complaint is made within 48 hours after the offence, or within such reason ebbe time as to the justices may seem fit. • Your committee have given the provisions of the Bread Act in some detail, because it seems to them to comprise much that may be useful in framing a measure applicable +,o adulterations generally. It is impossible td frame any enactment on this subject which shall rely on strict definition. The object of the law is to strike at fraud, and wherever a fradulent intention can be proved, there to inflict a penalty. What consti• tutes fraud must be left to the interpretation of the ad winistrators of the law. Thus mixtmos of 11.11.innocuoues Naval and Military Intelligence. The following circular has been addressed to officers commanding certain regiments " `'Horse Guard s , A ug . 18 .

Yesterday morning the depots of the 15th and 96th Regiments, consisting of 300 officers and men in charge of Major Armstrong and 180 office rs an d men cllarge of Captain Whiteside, arrived at Southampton, em barked in the Government steamers Echo and Cnmet, and proceeded to Parkhurst Barracks, Isle of Wight. The detachments are from Kilkenny and the Kildare Camp, and left Liverpool on Monday at 3 o'clock, hav ing arrived by steamer from Ireland during the early portion of that day. A Tipperary paper states it is most pleasing to chro nicle that 63 brave men, who volunteered to fight under the banner of the 18tt Royal Irish previous to their de parture from Chat'.iam for the Crimea, rejoined the left wing of her Majesty's 94th Regiment on Tuesday at Buttevant. Major Kirby opened the ranks, and as each decorat;it file marched down they were enthusiastically cheP,red by their old and young comrades. The men, although sunburnt and weatherbeaten, with huge patri archal beards and moustaches, were in the enjoyment of good health. On Monday evening Vice-Admiral Sir George Sey mour, K.C.8., Commander-ia•Chief at Portsmouth, en tertained the Sardinian and Dutch captains whose fri gates are at Spithead. About 4 o'clock on Saturday an addition was made to the number of ships-of-war in Cork harbour by the arrival of the Algiers, 91. Captain Corlrinl,ton, with troops from Balaklava. She had on board the 50th and 56th Regiments, to the number in all of 1,560 men, to accommodate whom and afford stowage for baggage, stores, &c., her lower deck guns had been removed. These regiments were the last of the British troops that occupied the soil of the Crimea, and it was from the possession of the 50th that the town of Balaklava was rendered into the hands of the Russians. The men have all a sunburnt and weatherheaten appearer•ce, and a large proportion bear the Crimean decorations. On Sunday the troops were conveyed to Cork by the river steamers Arthur and Alice. As soon as the disembar cation of the troops was completed, about 5 o'clock, the Algiers got up steam again, and left the harbour. The four despatch gun-boats, Mohawk, Lapwing, Coquette, and Surprise, also took their departure. Their destine,- ton has not been made public. Lieutenant Boileau. R.N., has arrived at his father's marine residence, Ballygilian, Kingstown, He was First Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Queen, 116 guns, Capt. Stopford, which was paid off at Portsmouth on Friday. Lieut. Boileau was the officer alluded to by a correspon• dent, who, on the night of the terrible hurricane in the Black Sea in Nov., 1854, aided by his gal.lant boat's crew, made three successive trips to two disabled trans port-,, and saved no fewer than 47 lives, with those of their commanders, bringi ng a ll safe on hoard the Queen. Capt. Mitchell, the then commanding officer of that fine ship, immediately sunamoned all hands on the quarter deck, and publicly thanked Lieut. Boileau for his huma nity and bravery and excellent management of the ar duous duty intrusted to him. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty Lieut. Henry Cardale to the Sanspareil ; Lieut. Wm. Dawsonoss to the C eut. ambrid ge ; L ieut. N. C. Symons to the Colus ; Li J. 0. Kidd to the Scourge ; Lieut. 0. De B. Brock to the 'Waterloo ; Lieut. F.

A CHILD CHOKED BY A PIE CE OF POTATO.—yes terday Mr. W. Carter, the coroner, held an ii quest at the White Horse Tavern, Brixton road, on the body of Wm. Jay, aged about th ree years. It appeared that on Friday the deceased's grandmother was feeding hini with some mashed potato, when she suddenly irnissed half a potato from her plate. Directly afterwards she heard the deceased make a noise as if he were choking. The poor child turned almost black in the face, and it tongue protruded from its na.iuth. Mr. Peacock, a sur geou, made an incision in the gullet for the purpose . remov ing the obstruction, but unfortunately withow effect, and the child shortly expired. There was n. doubt the child seized the half of the potato from it, grandmother's plate, and swallowed it unobserved, Verdict--"dAccidental Death," ST, t+ . ;i1 [P RICE 4D. STAMPED SD. character, made known by the seller, or used for "the pre servation of the article, cannot be lorle'dden without danger to the needful freedom of cornmerce, and ought not to be interpreted as coming within the provisions of a penal law. Nor should those provi rions apply wherever the seller can afford satisfactory proof that he has himself been deceived, and was not consciou a of the adulteration practised ; unless he have evinced a culpable ignorance of the trade which he professes to follow. Subject to these qualifications, the law should be clear and positive in forbidding adulteration, and in punishing those who practise it. Hitherto the progress of ,legislation has not kept pace with the ingenuity of fraud, asbich has not scrupled to avail itself of every improvement in chemistry or the arts which could subserve its purpose. Although, however, the means of adulteration have greatly increased, so also, fortunately, have the facilities for detection, especially by the improved use of the micro scope, which has been employed by Dr. Hassall and others with signal success. At first, no doubt, some difficulty would be experienced in finding persons qualified to conduct the required chemi cal and microscopical examinations; but the want will soon give rise to the needful supply. This want has been already felt by the Board of Inland Revenue, which has been compelled, for the purposes of the analyses requisite in cases of adulterated articles of Excise, to educate persons for this special duty. In addition to about 4,000 officers, scattered over the country, whose experience enables them to detect many adulterations, and to discover cases of streng suspicion, the board employs about 60 to 70 analytical chemists, whose numbers are recruited by students educistei for this purpose at University College, to the number of 14 in every year. Mr. Phillips, the chief officer of the chemi cal department of the Board of Inland Revenue, states that the practice is for the officers, if theistiipect a trader of adulteration, or on information given to them, to go and procure samples. Many ale competent to examine sam ples on the spot. If they have any doubt of their own judgment they send them to the laboratory to be further examined. And he adds, as showing the result of the system adopted by the board, that adulteration has been totally stopped in some articles, and much diminished in others, from the very fact that traders know they are liable to inspection by the Excise officers. It has been suggested that the prevention of adultera tions in food might be accomplished by 'an extension of the system of the Board of Inland Revenue; but your committee are of opinion that no machinery for this pur pose will work satisfactorily unless the agents employe4 derive their authority from corporate or other local go verning bodies. It will be desirable, therefore, to empower municipal or other local or district authorities to appoint an officer, or officers, who, on complaint made, or in cases of reasonable suspicion, shall procure portions of any article supposed to be adulterated, with a view to their examination or analysis by soma duly-qualified person appointed for that purpose. On the report of such persons, if it confirm the suspicion of adulteration, a summons shall be issued, and the case be investigated before the justices, who shall have power to inflict summary punishment, by fine or impri sonment, in every case where pecuniary fraud or danger to health shall have been proved. The justices should also be empowered to,publish the names of offenders. The advantages of publicity have been urged by many wit nesses, and especially by Dr. Hassall and Mr. Wakley, wbo attribute a recent great diminution in the amount of adulteration to the publication of names and other parti culars in the reports of the Lancet Commission. It is essential that a right of appeal should lie to the court of quarter sessions. With regard to coloured confectionery, your committee recommend that authority should be given to local boards of health, or other governing bodies, to forbid the use for colouring of all mineral matter and all poisonous vegetable matter. But although your committee desire to leave the execu tion of the law against adulteration in the hands of the local authorities, they are of opinion that very valuable assistance would be afforded to such bodies in ascertaining the fact of adulteration if one or more scientific analysers were to be appointed under the authority of the General Board of Health, to whom the local authorities might, whenever they thought fit, refer any articles seized under suspicion of adulteration for analysis, and who would thus enable the persons charged with the administration of the law to obtain at once, and without cost, a fully competent opinion in all difficult cases. These analysers should also undertake to examine any articles sent to them by private individuals, on payment of the expenses of such examination. Your committee would also suggest that the General I Board of Health should from time to time issue such in formation as to the nature of the adulterations of articles of food, &0., injurious to health, as may be obtained in the progress of scientific research on this subject, as would serve to guide the local authorities in their endeavours to detect these fi - auds. • With reference to drugs, your committee are of opinion that no inspection at the outposts would guarantee to the consumer the purity of commodities passing through the hands of intermediate parties; and the exclusion of lin, pure drugs would operate injuriously, by interfering with the supply obtained by scientific processes, calculated to extract valuable matter even from products seemingly almost worthless. It has been suggested that chemists and druggists should be allowed to exercise their calling only under licence. At present, to use the words of one of the witnesses, Mr. Jacob Bell, a man may be a shoemaker today and a che mist and dispenser of drugs to-morrow, though he cannot assume the name of "pharmaceutical chemist." The question of licence; however, may perhaps be properly de ferred till it be seen how far the efforts of the Pharmaceu tical Society and a more general system of inspection may prove successful. The existing powers of inspection in England are confined to the College of Physicians and the Apothecaries' Company. The powers of the latter are very limited, extending only to apothecaries' shops, and in no way to these of chemists and druggists. The Col lege of Physicians has authority to inspect both one and the other; but this authority is confined to the limits of the City of London, where inspection takes place three times a-year. The inspection, however, seems to bo too • cursory to be of any great utility. It has been shown that much good has arisen from the establishment of the Pharmaceutical Society, the members of which being specially educated in the knowledge of drugs, are better able than heretofore to make proper selections and to detect adulterations. Several witnesses, too, have borne testimony to the great adventage which would ensue if poor•law guardians and managers of hospitals and other similar institutions would, instead of accepting, as they too often do, the lowest tender for drugs, and indeed for as tides of food also, cause them to be properly inspected, and if needful analysed before admitting them into use Though not coming strictly within the scope of the in quiry entrusted to them, your committee cannot forbear calling attention to the evidence concerning patent medi_ tines, the sale of poisons, and the state of the phaimace pasias of the three kingdoms. With regard to patent medicines there can bo no doubt that the public health is endangered by the use of several of these compounds; and your committee are of opinion that the stamp duty, by giving them a seeming Government sanction, has an injurious influence in encouraging their sale and consumption, and should bo abandoned whenever this can bo done with a due regard to the wants of the public revenue. The unrestricted sale of poisons is a matter of pressing importance, and deserves the early attention of the legisla ture. At the present moment the most violent poisons may be universally sold, without any restriction except such as is afforded by the sense of moral responsibility on the part of the dealer. It is needless to point out the serious conse quences which frequently ensue from this unrestrained freedom. To take a familiar instance it is stated in evidence that the essential oil of bitter almonds, and whit is called " almond Savour," of very various strength, and contain ing highly-dangerous elements, are openly and commonly sold for culinary purposes, and, in. the hands of servants wholly ignorant of thdr properties, used in quantities often dangerous and sometimes fatal. It is well worthy of con sideration whether the sale of poisons should not be for bidden, nulesti under the authority of a medical prescrip tion, or under such conditions as to witnesses, and formal entries of the names and addresses of purchasers, as may secure the needful amount of caution. The evil arising from the existence of three distinct and in some importantinstances widely differing pharmacopoeias for the three kingdoms, is one tpo evident to need enforce ment. The result is, that many of the prezcriPtions of one country are not only inefficacious, but often absolutely dangerous, if made up in either of the others. Ono of the 'witnesses states that an'Elinburgh prescription con taining a solution of morphia, made up in London, would involve the patient's taking twice the quantity intended. On the other hand, a patient taking prussic acid under an Edinburgh proscription, made up in London, would be ,taking only half the quantity intended ; the Edin burgh prussic acid being twice the strength of the prussic acid of the London Pharmacopoeia. This is an evil which can be rem e di e d on ly by th e combined efforts of toe medical authorities of England, Ireland, and Scotland, to whom the subject should, without delay, be referred.

Toni:l4lVA LI The siege operations whichhave been for a cotisider able time in preparation at this place, came off to-day oa Chatham lines, in the presence of his Royal Highness the . Duke of Cambridge, General Commanding-in -Chief. The whole of the troops who were to take part in the operations were paraded at their respective barracks shortly after 10. o'clock—the provisional battalion being under the command of Col. H. Jervis and Lieut.-Col. R. N. PhillipS, the Royal Marines under the command of Col. A. Phillips, and the Royal Engineers commanded by Col. 3. Sandham, who had the immediate direction of the various operations of the day, the whole being un der the command of Col. H. Eden, commandant of the garrison. At 12 o'clock the troops, headed by their bands, marched to the-ground at the rear of Brompton Barracks, where they were formed into divisions and parties, for the purpose of carrying out the rnoveinente. •Tne storm ing party, which consisted of 120 troops of the line, was placed under the command of Capt. G. E. L. Wllker, Royal Engineers. This party, provided with their scaling ladders, took up their position near Prince Henry's bastion, the operations intended to be carried out corn nrehending an attack on the Redan works and Prince Henry's bastion, including the destruction • of the miner:, galleries, and stockades which had been constructed by the Royal Sappers and Miners. Tee remainder of the troops took up their petitions in the double sap, tb:e single sap, and the great g.llery, protected by cover' eog , parties. Two mortars were placed in the batteries, guns in Sta. second parallel, and one in the lodgmene the whole ot the guns being manned by the Royal Ms Each of the men was furnished with 30 rounds of am. munition. ' The , Duke of Cambridge arrived at Strood t ihortly be fore 12, attended by Major Clifton, and acorn npanied by General Sir J. F. Burgoyne, G.C.13., InsTeetetor-General of Fortifications. His royal highness proceeded directly. to the lines, on reaching which a royal fe elute of 21 guns was fired from the batteries at Fort A ID herst. After leaving Brompton barracks al a duke proceeded to Prince Henry's bastion, where his royal highness- took up a position commauding a cornplet a view of the whole operations. A large number of spect tors had assembled, ntithstanding the rain which ha .1 fallen all th e morn i but fortunately the weath e r ° Jeered up at 1 o'clock. operations were commeoced by a party of sol diers belonging to regiments of the line advancing,to wards the right face of Prince Henry's bastion. These troops were provided with a number of scaling-ladders, and on their arrival at Prince Henry's bastion a portion of the advance division commenced scaling the escarp, against which their ladders were placed, whilst a similar party were engaged scaling the counterscarp, the whole being protected by a covering party formed on the crest of the glacis to the right and left of the escalading party. In a very short time 'the ditch surrounding the works was crossed by the escalading party, and on the troops of the line arriving Within the baseion, followed by the covering party, the whole were re-',ormed by Captain Walker, after which they re crossed the ditch inereverse order, led by the covering party, which took up its former position on the crest of the glacis, and was followed by the counterscarp esca lading party, who drew their ladders after them from the ditch) and grounded them at the foot of the glacis: The escarp ladder-party afterwards followed, bringing Weir scaling ladders across the ditch,. and, after ascending the counterscarp, formed their ladders into second line at the foot of the glacis, where they were left. This operation was performed in a highly creditable manner, and es p. peared to be witnessed with much satisfaction by the Duke of Cambridge and suite. The troops were akar wards moved to the left of the attack, by Capt. Walker, and posted in the parallels and advanced works and lodgments, in conjunction with the other troops ofeehe garrison already distributes in these positions. Whilst these operations were being carried on the troops of the Royal Sappers and Miners were engaged in completing the double sap, the great descending gal lery, and two siugle sops, which were being constracteekso as to approach each other in cOmpleti of the third pail ralfel, under the direction of Meier C. H. Sedley, R. Bullen, and Ensign H. J. Jones. This portion of the - works having been reconnoitred, a , renrendous fire Opened simultaneously from the whole of tlae.batteriee, parallels, and rifle pits in which the troops were placed. This fire lasted for some time until, the- troops were withdrawn from the iodgmordin front of the Redan, previously to that portion of the works being bldwn" up by a heavy discharge of 1801bs. of gunpowder. The destruction of this portion of the woiks was ef fected by means of the voltaic battery, in charge of Capt. H. Y. D. Scott, Royal Engineers, and the effect of the „ explosion was exceedingly striking. AS soon as it was considered safe, the lodgment was reoccupied by the troepe, and the, right gun, which. was, not destroyed, opened &e'en the interior of St. Mary's hornwork, the fire from the troops stationed . iii the parallels being cor k . tinned, and the guns in the battery manned by the troops belonging to the IlOyal Marines. A portion of the Royal Sappers ant Miners, mid( r command of Lieut. Phillips, having formed a pontoon bridge at St. Mary's Creek, the rafts were rowed up under the right bank of the creek, and across the month of Et. Mary's ,hornwork. As soon as this bridge was constructed, a party of Sappers, under the command of Capt. F. Brine, and Lieut. A. T.' Storer, - each provided evith bags of gunpowder; and also-with bags of sand for tamping, advanced from the lodgment ou the extreme right ot the attack, followed by a party of 100 of the troops belonging to the provisional battalion, and having crossed the puotoon•bridge, proceeded along the glacis in front of the horn work until they reached the stockade, which had been ,constructed. by the troop.; belonging 'to the Royal Engineers. The Sappers then placed their bags of powder against the stockade, and retired, immediately on which the fuse was iguiLed by Captain. Brine, and the stockade destroyed by means of 120 lbs. of gunpowder, the huge baulks of timber of which it was mainly composed being rent asunder and blown to a considerable distance into the air. As soon as the troops under the command of Capt. Bride had eva coated the lodgneuts, a. party of Sappers and ' Miners, under the command o f L ieu t. E . Mi tchell, protected by Gen. Blansbard's iron manttets, advanced from the lodg ments, and formed on the crest of the glacis, for the pur pose of covering a party of Sappers told off to form ano ther pontoon bridge with Gen. I.llanshard's infantry pon toons. This bridge was very rapidly formed across the wet ditch of the right branch. of St. Mary's hornworks, and an escalading party pushed forward across it, which operation having been effected two ladders were estab lished against the counterscarp, for the formation of the bridge, and also two ladders against the escerp, rest ing on the head of the bridge. The escalade having been effected the men entering the • works immediately Jet down the drawbridge fcr ttie passage of the troops. Whilst the above operations were being performed another escalading party, under t h e command of Lieut. W. C. Anderson aed Lieut. G-. H. Brooke, moved-out from the right of the lodgment in front of the Redan, and commenced escalading at that pciint of the fortifica tions where the embrasures of the ramparts crossed each other. A party of Sappers, provided with crowbars and axes, now advanced from the head of the pontoon bridge, followed by the main body at the double, the advanced party being required to clear away the breach made in the stockade, which had been exploded to enable the troops to pass through. These operations having been cmnpleted, and the troops having reached the inside of the works, they were formed into contiguous columns, after which the Royal Marines and the troops belonging to the provisional battalion were marched back to their barracks. His royal highness then proceeded to St. Mary's Creek, for the purpose of witnessing the troops of the Royal Sap pers and Miners form a pontoon bridge, under the direc tion of Major F. C. Hassard, R.E. This was executed very rapidly, and the bridge having been formed, it was cut, re-formed, and dismantled, for the purpose of show ing the various operations required. A sub-aqueous dis charge of 100lbe. of gunpowder was afterwards fired by means of the voltaic battery, under the direction of Capt. C. E. Cumberland ; the case being attached to several baulks of timber which were sunk in St. Mary's Creek, eiel the effects of the explosion were most complete. Tho operations, which lasted for nearly 3 hours, having terminated, the Duke of Cambridge expressed his appro bation of the whole proceedings, and honoured the offi cers of the Royal Engineers by partaking of lunch with them, after which his royal highness and suite returned by railway to London.
