The system of Land Credit, or " Credit roamer,,, has now been established in many of the chief countries of Europe, With the uniform result of large profit to the Companies eu ssaged in it, and great benefit to the holders of land. The principle of all these Associations is the same, viz., the inter vention of a Company whose large subscribed Capital, and Consequent credit, enable it t) borrow money to the best ad vantase, as an intermediary between individual lenders who Beek investments on mortgsig,re, and borrowers who seek for loans. Thus, the French Credit Fonder has a large Share Capital, of which only half is paid up, and is authorised by its statutes to issue its own Bonds against an equal amount lent on mortgage, with a Sinking Fund for redemption, on first class landed security. The security to the Bondholder, under these circumstances, is ample, represented as it is by the whole unpaid-up capital of the Company, and all its invest ments and assets, while the profit to the Shareholders, being the profit on the employment of a large capital distributed in dividend over a small paid-up capital, is so great, that with £l O paid up the £2O shares of the French Credit Foncier Stand at a market value of upwards of £5O. The present Company is formed in the belief that, on the one hand, it will be very profitable to the Shareholders, and, on the other, most beneficial to India. It is obvious that our Indian territories present an unrivalled field for a Company of this description. Land there is rising in value with a ra- Ilidity quite unexampled, and the fixing of tenures, the im provement of laws, and the opening of communications, are last creating, an ease and certainty in dealing with it equal to those enjoyed in any country of Europe. At the same time capital is scarce, and the rate of interest extrayagantly high, aspimpared with any European standard. .11 Bengal, where, -tr, the first instance, the operations Or the Company will be principally directed, laid is held upon a Zemindary tenure, which may be described as conferring the lee-simple of the land in perpetuity, held direct from the Crown, on the condition of paying a fixed annual quit rent, Which is always moderate, in comparison with the value of the estates. An accurate and simple system of registration precludes doubt and dispute concerning the title to estates, and the first mortgage on the register takes precedence of all other claims. The principle of a permanent settlement has been adopted by the Government, and will doubtless be shortly extended to the other provinces of India. The land included in the Lower Bengal system is estimated at a value of more than one hundred millions sterling, and by the establishment of railways, the operation of irrigation works, and the general extension of Indian trade and in dustry. it will be doubled and trebled within a moderate number of year• Ot these estates a very large proportion are at present under advances from local money-lenders, at a rate of 12 per cent. interest, besides incidental bonuses, and upon other conditions, that are alike unfavourable to their owners and to the community at large. With prudent management the results of an Indian Credit Foncier can hardly fail to be even more successful than in France, considering, the wide margin between the rates of in terest at which money can be borrowed in England and lent in India. The field for operations in India is practically unlimited, and in no country of the world are all the element s of national prosperity, including the value of land, i n a s t a t e o f suc h rapid development. The revenue of the State has risen in ten 'years from £28,500,000 to £45,125,0 0 a-year ; and the aggregate Import and Export Tra de during the same period has more than doubled, and last y. ar reached the enormous total of £100,000.00 including bullion. During the same period £0,000,000 of English capital has been invested in railways in India, which are now approaching completion, and will greatly accelerate the march ot prosperity. The benefit to India of obtaining, capital on landed security on reasonable terms, and emancipating the native landed proprietors from an exclusive dependence on native money lenders, will be incalculable ; and this benefit will be speci ally felt at a time when the prosperity of the country, the completion of roads an d ra i lways, the sale of waste lands, the extension of the permanent settlement, the introduction of an improved currency, and, generally, the adoption of a wise and liberal system of Government, are giving every where a rapid impulse to improvement. OBJECTS, The Compan be prepared to grant Loans on land, oli her for fixedperiods, or upon terms that will extinguish the debt during the currency of the mortgage, by the pay ment of an annual instalment on account of the principal, in addition to the annual interest, thus conferring, on the bor rowers the benefit of an eventual liquidation of their debts. CAPITAL. The present c a pit a l is fixed at £2,003,000 sterling, of which £2 per share is payable upon allotment. It is not the inten tion of the Directors to call up more than a small proportion of the Share Capital in all, as the successful conduct of a busi ness of this description is chiefly through borrowed capital. BORROWING POWERS. As a means to make the advances on the extended scale contemplated, the Company will issue Debentures for fixed periods, and bearing a fixed rate of interest, payable half- 1 yearly in this country ; and in order to give the holders of such Debentures undoubted security, they will have a lien on the entire property of she company, consisting first of the whole of the estates held on mortgage, and much exceeding in value the tot a l o f I ts liabilities ; an 1 secondly, of the assets of the Company, in which its raid-up capital is invested, to gether with its large reserve of uncalled capital. The trans actions of the Company will be conducted free frs.m all spe culation or purchase on their own account, and may be re garded as partaking* of the nature of a Commission Agency between the European lender and the Indian borrower, opening to the latter a command of capital limited only to the value and security his estates afford. PROFITS. The profits of a well-conducted business of this description in such a field for operations as India may be tested by a comparison with the results realised by the French Credit Foncier Th d ainstitutionn other similar undortis ikingslimited t both abroad and at home. e y its statutes to lend at 5 per cen t . i nterest, and it has to pay more than 4 per cent. interest on money raised on its Debentures ; the margin of profit is, therefore, very smalL Nevertheless, the Erlich Company pays a dividend ot 16 percent. uer annum, Carrying a further sum equal to 7 per cent. to reserve. In India margin of profit between the rate at which the money is borrowed and the rate at which it is lent will certainly not be less than 3 per cent., so that each £1,000,000 borro we d in England an d loaned in India will give £30,000 a year towards Dividend on the Share Capital, of which it is not probable that more than £500,000 out of the £2,000,000 will !./e, called up.

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon- Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert N. C.

The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died. d i. , n ,R 1 o i. s ru t a .I G Ah. „ . eitbsu t.

THE NAVY. VALETTA, Sept. 29.—Her Majesty's iron paddle wheel sloop Trident, 3, Commander C. J. Balfour, left Malta harbour on the 231 inst. for Athens, with a mail for the Commander-in-Chief. She took with her as passengers Commander Comber, R.N., to command the Pelican, and Lieut. Harris, R.N., and Lieut. Ching, R.N., to join their respective ships. .Her Majesty's screw gunboat Foxhound, 4, Cam mander W. H. Anderson, left port th© same day, to show the British flag at Syracuse, and returned on the 26th inst. She vvil: leave again on the 30th for Athens, with the mail due from Marseilles on that day. Her Majesty's screw frigate Phoebe, 35, Capt. T. D. A, Fortescue, ret UT ned from Corfu on the 26 h inst. in consequence cf a breakdown in her machi- nery. It will probably not be necessary for her to go o England for repairs, which can be made good here, and she is awaiting instructions on the subject from England. Sir V. Houlton and Lady Houlton returned to Malta by this vessel. Her 11',..:jesty's screw line•of-battle ship Revenge, 73, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral HR. Yelverton, C. 8., Capt. the Hon. F. A. Foley, arrived this morning from Corfu and Patras, in consequence of the receipt of a telegraphic despatch ordering her immediate return to this port. It is rumoured that she is to proceed to Toulon, to escort the new King of Greece to Athens, where, after his Majesty's coronation, it is expected she will relieve the Commander-in-Chief, and remain for the winter. She is at present await ing telegraphic instructions from England. Her Majesty's screw line-of-battle ship Meeanee,6o,Capt. G. Wodehouse, is still here, and is to go up to Athens with the mail expvcted on the 7th or Sth pros. There are also in port her Majesty's ships Psyche, de spatch vessel, and the Medina, surveying ship. Colonel Crawley is expected to-night from India, on his way to England via Marseilles, to undergo his trial by court-martial, and by the steamer Ceylon for Southampton, 63 non-commissioned offi cers and privates are proceeding home so give evi dence in the case. A letter from Corfu, dated Sept. 21, says—The health of the troops has somewhat declined lately, as the temperature is excessively hot for the season. Rear-Admiral Yelverton in the Revenge steamed into harbour on the 13th instant from Greece, the Hon. Sir Victor Houlton and Lady Houlton being passengers. A shock of earthquake was felt here to-day at half-past 1 p.m., but it caused no damage that I have heard of. The frigate Phoebe came in on the 181 h and a gunboat on the 19th inst. The former I hear will leave for Malta and England on the 23d of this month. The screw steam corvette Scylla, 21, from Ports mouth for China, arrived at Plymouth yesterday morning. By direction of the Admiralty the apparatus in vented by Captain H. F. Maillop for cleansing the bottom of iron ships from seaweed and other marine incrustations is to be tried at Chatham dockyard. Their lordships have directed the first trial to be made on the bottom of the iron paddle wheel steamer Recruit, which is to be placid at the disposal of Captain .I\l'Killop. The chief merit of the invention lies in their being no necessity for placing iron ships in dock every time their bottoms require cleansing. If the trials ordered to be made should prove satisfactory the invention will prove of the greatest possible benefit, as the only draw back to the use of iron ships for lengthened voyages undoubtedly is to be fount; in the necessity which periodically exists for placing them in dock to un dergo the cleansing process. An examination was yesterday made of the bottom of the iron steamer Recruit by some of the staff connected with the mas ter shipwright's department, when it was found to be very foul, many of the weeds which thickly cover her bottom being frcm one to three feet in length, while the other marine incrustations were likewise found to be very thick, The bottom of the Recruit had been paved over with one of the anti-fouling compositions, none of which have proved better than the Admiralty mixture of coal-tar and naphtha. After the Recruit has been treated according to Captain Al‘Killop's method she will be placed in dock in order to ascertain the extent to which her bottom has been cleansed. Yesterday the paddlewheel steamer Lucifer ar rived alongside the dockyard at Chatham from Portsmouth with a cargo of timber, machinery, and other stores for that establishment. The Lords of the Admiralty have awarded a silver medal and an annuity of £lO to Sergeant C. Jeffery, of the Chatham division of Royal Marines, for distinguished service and exemplary conduct. The following appointments and promotions were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander M. 13.

Execution of Deserters from the Federal Ranks, The orders issued by the Federal authorities for execution of all soldiers deserting their colours, are being unsparingly carried out. The correspondent of the New York Herald, with i'vleade's army, writ ing on Sept. 19, thus describes the shooting of two deserters Yesterday the solemn and impressive scene of shooting two men for desertion took place in the third division commanded by Gen. Hayes. The unfortunate victims of this tragic event were two substitutes who were sent out from Boston a few weeks ago to the 14th Connecticut Volunteers. Their names were Edward Elliot, Company B, and Charles Eastman, Company I, both privates. As the second corps had been on the march for several days,the prisoners were brought in charge of the pro vost-marshal, and were removed from corps head quarters to General Hayes's on the morning of the execution. As the sentence was to be carried out before four o'clock p.m., and it was now within half an hour of the time, the door was thrown open, and the two prisoners, leaning on the chaplains' arms, walked to the ambulance that was to carry them to execution. From our elevated position we could plainly see the troops forming in line around the graves. The procession now formed. In front was the band of the 14th Connecticut, playing the dead march. After these the shooting party of sixteen selected from the provost-guard of the division, and belonging to the 10th New York battalion. After these followed the coffin-bearears—eight conscripts of the Ist Delaware. Next, the ambulance hear ing the prisoners, the chaplains, and myself, followed by a guard. The procession moved along slowly and solemnly, the prisoners all the time either reading the Testament or conversing with the chaplains. As the third brigade was out on picket duty, only the first and second were present. They were drawn up in the following order ; The second brigade formed two lines of the square, whilst the first brigade formed the other line. As the procession reached the square the rri soners alighted from the ambulance, and the band fell to the rear. Here the bearers took up the coffins on their shoulders, in front of th 3 prisoners. The prisoners cast a timid, troublous look at the coffins, and then moved on, leaning on the chaplains. The coffins were placed beside the two graves, which were dug about five feet deep. The Rev. Mr. Murphy addressed the prisoners and the troops present in feeling language, exhorting all to join in prayer to God to have mercy on the two souls so soon to appear in His presence. He strongly exhorted others to take warning by the tragic fate of the prisoners, and not desert their country's service. Captain Fields now came up and bandaged the prisoners' eyes. Elliot sat back on his soffin— Eastman knelt in prayer. His voice was audible above the click and sound of the guns as they were brought to " present." The word " fire" having been given, Elliot fell back gently on his coffin, only wounded, while Eastman jumped up and tore the bandage from his eyes, e vidently untouched. The reserve was ordered up. Eastman appeared as if electrified, and placed his hands before his eyes to shut out the horrid sight. The men again missed. The provost-marshal, during this, in mercy, pulled out his revolver and shot him through the head; he also fired another ball through Elliot's head. After the two unfortunate men were pronounced feless, the troops were marched by the corpses. A SPY AMONG THE FEDERALS. A few months since a fashionably dressed per sonage arrived in Cincinnati per railroad, and secured a suite of rooms at the Burnet House, and registered his name as " Louis A. Belville, Russia." Ills suavity of manner, elegance and neatness of dress, general appearance, and indeed everything betokened that the newly arrived guest was one possessing metropolitan intelligence, if not those attributes of popularity now a days, tffluence and wealth. His manner was reserved bet firm, his conversation bland yet winning, and only a few days elapsed before he extorted from the resident guests of the house, both civic and military, a hOli- citude to make his acquaintance, which was some what difficult to accomplish apparently. Once made, and lavishness wily Russian, by his social tywith money, so completely abaidlie, enamoured his new acquaintances, that they, to use a v algar expression, " tied to him," urged and gained his introduction to their female friends, and in short inaugurated him as the prince of society in Cinci- natti. Parties were given that this foreign repre sentative might loom out more specially as the bright particular star. He was feted to his heart's content, no pains being spared to give him ovations that would honour a higher personage in the grade of European society than that which ho was alleged to be. Yankee curiosity was raised to its highest pitch as to the probable mis sion of this gentleman on the American continent, and the solicitude in finding out culminated in the qu estion direct being p ut t o t h e no bl eman . With his usual keenness and nonc h a l ance h e res p on ded promptly that recently in Russia he had been in veigled into a quarrel with his Government of a political character, but of such a serious nature to the Emperor that banishment from the country was the consequence. His intentions were at once decided to come to America, and become one of her citizens, and, after a residence here of three years, return to Russia and enjoy all the privileges of that kingdom without fear of molestation. His offhand method of briefly alluding to his complicated foreign difficulty succeeded in satisfying his American friends, gained fo r hi m a s y m p a thy t h a t was al n y ds w i onderful. Thus m a tters continued for seve ral days.l and Staff officer s o f t h e var i ous G enera l s resi f dent and transient were not content in their strolls through the city and evening promenades with lady friends unless Mr. Belville was one of their number. At the various military headquarters in the city ho was a welcome and constant visitor, and being deeply interested in our domestic difficulties, and sympathising strongly with our Government in the complete success of the Union arms, many of the contemplated movements were confided to his keep ing. His suggestions were frankly given and thank fully received. Indeed, no American citizen and to the manner born could have learned one-tenth of the information imparted to this stranger Russian. By the side of Generals he visited the fortifications, camps, &c., discovered our real strength in the field and at posts, and the destination of our armies, &c. His knowledge of the American States was astonishingly limited, and to particularise was a " military necessity" on the part of those with whom he conversed. He passed i n and out of military prisons at all times, and had a carte blanche to visit any portion of this department. A seeming indiffe rence to accept the many compliments that were tendered to him, and the declination of several offers, gained him a confidenc e w i t h our m ilit ar y chieftains and their aids amazingly marvellous. At their request he went to a fashionable boarding house on Fourth-street, adjoining headquarters, and where none but m ilitary officers are entertained. Occasionally be would leave the city for a few days to visit Chicago, St. Tiquls, and other lVeatern and North-Western cities, and to b ec ome more familiar with the American country. Although his absence was brief he was m issed by his scores of friends, who welcomed his return with unmistakeable, afftction. One of these absentirgs was unusually long, and considerable misgiving was entertained as to his failure in returning lest an ac c ident caused the delay. A few days since his absence was accounted for, the latest bubble of Queen City confidence was exploded, and the Russian nobleman turned out to be nothing more or less than a rebel spy, whose discovery was thus made. His lest trip from Cincinnati was to Lexington, not tar from which, in a skirmish, he was taken prisoner with other rebels in arms, He was THE ARMY. Yesterday, Major-General R. Rumley, the In spector-General of Infantry, commenced his hall yearly inspection of the depot battalions and other infantry troops quartered in the Chatham district. The inspection was yesterday confined to the se veral corps forming the let battalion, the various re giments composing which assembled on the general parade-ground at Chatham-barracks, at ten o'clock, under the command of Col. H. Jervis. The corps on the ground consisted of the depot companies of the Ist and 2d battalions of the 4th King's Own, 35th Regiment, 43d Light Infantry, 77th and 94th Regiments, and the 101st Royal Bengal Fusiliers ; but in consequence of most of the regiments having given a large number of men for embarkation this season to augment the service companies in India and elsewhere, the strength of the battalion is at present smaller than it has been for some time past. The battalion having been formed at quarter-dis tant column by columns of companies, Major-Gen. Rumley made a minute inspection of the kits, ac coutrements, and arms of the non-commissioned officers and men of the several depots, at the termination of which he took up his position at the fla gstaff- The battalion then marched past in quick t e h x e e g cu to te u c t l i so n m o e t p fe er w m o it t t h i e n r a m a n an y ce ve u r v y re e s x , ofttehne tniaintne're and sive movements to be carried into effect. At a sub sequent portion of the inspection the battalion was formed into line, and successively put through the manual and platoon exercises, as well as the bayonet drill, by the several captains of companies, who were called to the front and tested in their know ledge of this portion of their d u ti es b y the Inspector some General. The troops were th e e n ir er g a u t w ar a t s er o s, oc a u n ped and later hours in th e i ns p ect i sn r of the internal arrangements of the barracks, in cluding the schools, non-commissioned officers' quar ters, barrack-rooms, cook-houses, quartermaster's and other stores, orderly rooms, &c., togeth er w ith the books and accounts, and other official documents of the various depots and battalions. Last night Ithe Inspector-General was entertained at mess by the officers of the Ist battalion, and this morning he will resume his official duties at the garrison by the inspection of the 2d depot battalion. removed to Johnson's Island, from which place he sent a letter to one of his friends in this city to go to his late boarding house, settle his bill and get his trunk, which was to be forwarded to him on the island above named. This news being imparted to the military circle generally the terrible truth flashed across their minds for the first time that they had been entertaining and giving important information to a spy from the Confederate army. Measures were immediately taken to fasten upon the sharper Belville the charge of being a spy, and District Provost Marshal Reaney went to Johnson's Island for that purpose. Mr. Reaney has returned from Johnson's Island, bringing with him the spy Belville, who is at present lodged in the MeLean Barracks, on Third-street, to await the further a ction of the authorities. His real name has not yet been developed, the probabilities being that 13elville is fictitious. The marshal has further learned that about two and a half years ago Bel vine entered the rebel service under John Morgan, a portion of whose command, of which Belville was a member, was detached and ordered to report to H u mphrey 11.1%rshall. General 'Marshall made Bel ville's acquaintance, and learning that he could speak fi v e different languages, and being exceedingly s hrewd withal, had charged him to come North in the ca pacity of a spy. Belville went to Washington, N e w York, Boston, Baltimore, St. Louis, and all the l e adng cities and posts, and adroitly succeeded in ga ining the confidence of all the military authori ties, from President Lincoln down. The information b e gained et the capitol from the War Department an d the cabinet offi3ers was of great importance, and svo continually forwarded South by the under ground railway. When he had occasion to visit the armies he would purchase stores for the Union troops and, as a sutler or agent for the Sanitary Commission, alway s h a d f ree passes to every part of t h e Union camp. S uc h was his knowledge of a ll our movements that no sooner were they deter mined upon by our commanders than the enemy was posted at once, and our pl ans checkmated or frus trated. It is truly marvellous how successfully he car ried on his operations. He is now kept in close mil itary confinement, a nd will be brought before a m ilitary court-marti a l t o b e convened by General B u rnside , and tried as a spy, and, if convicted, of wh i c h there is no po ss ibl e d ou bt, be will suffer death by being shot.- Oncinnati Enquirer. The Sunday Haymaking Case. A public meeting, convened by the National Sun d a y League, was held last evening in Cam- Newman -street, Oxford-street, Mr. bridge-hall, shaen in the chair, "to protest aga i ns t th e inflic tion o f punishm en t b y f i ne, d i stra i nt, or th e s tocks, in cases of nece ssary Sunday labour, and to app eal t o Parliament to amend the law relating thereto." There was a very large attendance. Mr. Morrell, the hon• secretary of the League, read letters from Sir J. Walmesley, Si r J. G. Wilkinson, and others, apologising for their inability to attend, but entirely concurring in the objects of the meeting. The Chairraan , in Opening the business of the meeting, expressed his opinion that if the Leigh magistrates had thought for one moment that their judgment would have called down upon them the obloquy it had done, they would have hesitated before putting into force the provisions of an old and obsolete law against the farmers of the neighbourhood for per forming an act of necessary labour. (Cheers.) Having reviewed the whole circumstances con nected w i t h the hay ma ki ng case, he conc l u d e d b y contending that the decision of the magistrates was unjust, unc alled for, an d tyrann i ca ' . ( C h eers .) M r . J. B. Lan gley moved the first resolution as follows : ~ That this meeting strongly condemns the con duct of the justices i n th e L e i g h h ay -h arves ti ng case , as an arbitra r y an d vexat i ous infliction of punishment for necessary Sunday labour, and thanks the gent l e men fo rm i ng t h e d efence comm i ttee f or their energ etic action , by w hi c h an d t h e support o f t h e public press, the Lei g h f armers h ave b een h e ld to ustified in s av i ng th e i r crops f rom th e have been i effects of ruin." Mr. John Kenney seconded the resolution, which was ca rr i e d w i t h one di ssent i en t. Dr. perf i t moved the second resolution :—" That the Sabbot o ian element of the country, in defiance of public op inion, having resorted to the revival of Acts of parliament deemed ob so l e t e , warra nts the adoption of a new sphe re o f act i on on t h e part o f the National Sunday League in affording protec tion in cases of necessary Sunday labour." He en forced the resolution in a very eloquent speech, w hi c h was r eceived with applause by the meet i ng. Mr. C. elem ents seconded the resolution, which was s upported by Mr. S. Ay town, and carried unani mously. The followin g resolut i ons were a l so adopted : -... 0 That a petiti on to P arl i ament b e sent from this meeting, calli ng t h e attent i on o f t h e legislature to the necessity of devising means for preventing the decisions of county justices on Sun day observance ng made a public nuisance and scandal. I, That this meeting, desirous that the " Sunday, as f a r as possible, should, in addition to purely rel i g i o us duties, b e ma d e ava i la bl e f or t h e healthy recreation and moral elevation of the people, would urge upon Parliam en t , b y pet i t i ons, t h e de sirability of opening the nat i ona l i nst i tut i ons on Sunday afternoons, being convinced that much labour now done at home on that day would thereby be abandoned." The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the Committee of the League for bringing the Leigh hay -making case before the public, and to the chairman for presiding on the occasion. CANINE MADNESS CURABLE.—The generally re• ceived opinio n that this di sorder is constantly fats , questioned. The Abeille Ilf!di cae surgeon, i g C s OI publishes l ab , ol t to wh li a i be c l letter tter seriouslye from M. E. Decroix, a veterinary arrives at the following conclusions : l g under canine madness may die w 2. That a subject in whom the disorder is c haracterised b y s uch fits, their freque nc y is . That tho w ithout a a subject ny fit o labouring a b frenzy.ouri in the direct ratio of exterior provocation. 3. That a dog may, in a violent fit of anger, communicate the disease by a bite, and yet continue to enjoy perfect health; and 4. That there are examples which show that communicated rabies is capable of cure, either spontaneously or by means of a proper treatment. The first two points were the sub ject of an article we gave a few weeks ago ; the third is ren d ere d probable by an obs ervation published some tim e ago by m. rat 6 gna t; as to the f ourth , the cases q uoted by our author aro certainly conclusive. In the first, a dog inocu lated with the saliva of a man attacked with the disease, a fortnight after displays all the symptoms of quiet madness, which gradually diminishes in intensity, and at length disappear entirely in the course of 43 days without any remedy being applied. The second case was much the same. In the third case, a man and his wife were bitten by an un known dog. A month later the man died of confirmed rabies at the hospital. Two days after his death his wife was taken ill and received into the hospital, where the phy sician pronounced her disorder to be rabies, nevertheless she got better and eventually recovered. The doctor then said he had been misled by the symptoms, and that the disorder was not rabies. The question at once presents itself— a hat was it then? Either rabies has definite symptoms which may be easily recognised, or there must be a disorder as yet unknown, which has the same symptoms and yet is not rabies. Is it not more logical to confess at once that rabies is not al ways incurable ? The fourth case is one reported in 1777 by the surgeon Beudon. A sow and a little dog wer e both bitten by a mad dog, which afterwards ran away, but returned two days after in a pitiable state. Beudon had it put into a cage, and for several days it displayed all the symptoms of rabies. Beudon then caused vinegar to boil in the cage, so as to expose the animal to the fumes. By degrees the patient got better, and at length recovered. Six days after the infliction of the bite the sew became raging mad, a mate which lasted seven hours. Beudon took ad vaLtage of a momentary respite to cause boiling vinegar to be lot down into the sty. When this vinegar got cool the sow drank some and got better ; vinegar was then mixed with its food, and in the course of a few days the animal was medically cured. The little dog had no symptoms at all. It may now be asked whether these cures were spontaneous er owing to the vinegar. At all events, these cases show that there is a possibility of reco very; and N. Decroix thinks that among all the nostrums proposed as specifics for this terrible affection, there may happen to be one of real value, but rejected on account of this preconceived opinion of thc, incurability of the disease. GERMANY AND DENMARK. We take the following from the official report of the Frankfort esittingoft l Lie Ist of October of the Germa n Diet " The President laid before the Assembly a note from the Bri which h E tnhveoy, latterS'r Alex.lll communicates in from the Secretary of State for Forei g n Affairs of Great a et , da t t ead theth the i s e t t o a f d O e c s t p o a b t e c r h , Britain, Earl Russell, dated the 13th of September, con cerning the constitutional question of Holstein-Lauenburg. The Diet directed that this document should be referred to the joint committees charged with the examination of the question. " After some local business, a vote was come to upon the report presented to the sitting of the 19th of Sept., relative to the constitutional question of ILlstein-Lauenburg by the joint committees, as also upon the propositions advanced in that report. These latter are approved by the majority of the Assembly. The envoy charged to represent the Minis ter of Denmark and Holstein-Lauenburg protests against this approval in the name of the rights of the Royal Ducal Government, referring to the declarations made previously by Denmark, and abstains from voting upon tke approval of the joint committees. " The resolution which the Diet takes on the subj ect of this question runs thus : "1. The Government of Denmark and of Holstein- Lauenburg has not fulfilled the federal obligations relative to the constitution of the Duchies of Holstein-Lauenburg, and, especially, by its declaration of the 27th of August of this year it has not acted up to the federal resolution of the 9th of July last; federal execution must, therefore, be resorted to to enforce (if they have not already been com plied with) the application in the said Duchies of the federal resolutions of the 11th of February and 12th of August, 1858, of the Bth of March, 1860, of the 7th of February, 1861, and of the 9th of July, 1863. "2. The Austrian, Prussian, Saxon, and Hanoverian Governments are charged to carry out the execution, and the Governments of Saxony and of Hanover will be invited each to name a civil commissary, who, if needs be, and after having received the instructions of the Diet on the mode of execution, will have to administer, according to those instructions by order of the German Confederation, the duchies of Holstein-L tuenburg in the stead and in the name of the King-Duke, without prejudice to the rights of the latter, which are only provisionally suspended. "Moreover, the said Governments shall be called upon to place at the disposal of the civil commissaries a detach ment of 6,000 men, the composition of which they will de cide upon between themselves, and at the same time the Governments of Austria and of Prussia will be invited to hold ready, in case of resistance to the federal executive, in concert with the kingdoms of Saxony and Hanover, a suffi cient body of troops to support victoriously the detachment in question. "3. Communication of this resolution shall be made to the Royal Ducal Government in virtue of Article IV. of the regulation for execution, through its envoy ; at the same time, that Government will be reminded in an official state ment of the propositions of the committees of the 18th Juno of this year, of the Federal resolution of the 9th July of the same year, and of the report serving as a basis to the motions actually made by the joint committees, and Den mark will be summoned to comply with the demands for mulated, and to make known her intention within a delay of three weeks. " 4. This resolution shall be brought to the cognisance of the Governments of Austria, Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover by their envoys, and those Governments will be called upon to make all the necessary preparations, that the measures decreed may be immediately put into execution. On this question the Journal desDebats publishes the following, dated Frankfort, Oct. 1 " A note has been addressed by the English Government to Baron de Kubeck, President of the Assembly for Austria, in which Earl Russell calls upon the Diet to open fresh ne gotiations with Denmark through the intermedium of Aus tria and Prussia before carrying out its threatened invasion, in the hope of thereby attaining a pacific settlement. The English note has been referred to the two united committees, who will make a report to the Assembly in an early sitting. This new diplomatic incident will necessarily lead to a de lay in the execution of the military measures which the Confederation proposed to take against Denmark. The con tents of the English note dwell, we are assured, upon the proposals which the chief of the Foreign-office addressed simultaneously on Sept. 20, 1862, to the Diet and to Den mark ; they pointed out the basis upon which a friendly entente might be established between the two pat ties inte rested. Germany, it will be remembered, showed itself in clined to accept those proposals, but they were not well re ceived at Copenhagen." The Moors and Forests in Scotland. (Ron the linconess Courier.) The moors and hills are so difficult of access, on ace Dun of snow, that very little sport has been obtained during the past week. Deer-stalkers especially are compelled to remain idle, and most of them have left for the South. Lord Selkirk took his departure from Gildermory, on the Novar estate, this morning, his lordship having this year concluded one of the oldest shooting leases in the North of Scotland. The following are the notes which we have been able to collect : Lord Dacre and party have killed 37 stags at Ceanacroc, up to Monday last. On the 23d ult. his lordship killed a very fine royal, with a head of 13 points. The brow antlers measured 12 inches in length. Lord Middleton has shot a number of fine fat stags in the Applecross Forest. The weight of one of them has been tested, and found to be 20 stones 21bs. clean, with a fine " long-tined and beau tifully-formed" royal head ; span 341 inches. Captain Ayre also shot, in the Applecross Forest, 6 stags, from 10 to 12 points, by only firing seven shots, and only kill ing one stag at each shot. A few days ago, Lord 11. Bentinck shot two stags right and left in the forest of Glenavon, and two on each of the two following days. On Friday week he shot three stags at one stalk, and an other stag on the afternoon of Saturday. Among these was a royal, and another with 11 points. All were in good con dition, averaging about 15 stones. Ills lordship has now M a r left for the forest of Loch-Errocht, and will finish his deerstalking for the seaso n b y returning to Forest through Glenavon, thus hunting three extensive forests in one season. Up to the present time, 19 stags have been killed in Sir James Matheson's forest of Morsgail, in the Lows, most of them in very fine condition. In spite of the weather being unfavourable, Lord Kinloch has succeeded in bringing down three stags, ono of them having a head of 14 points. Sir Gr orgo Denys has shot three stags, Mr. E. A. Tanford one , Mr. Magna oiny two, one being a oyal Eyrie two, on e with 14 pts, and one a Royal. r The sal mon fishing in the river Creed, near the Castle, and at the Ghrimersta on the west side of the island, has been success ful, although the season was a late one, owing to the dry weather during the summer preventing the fish running up the river. Mr. E. A. Tanford has caught 98 salmon, having several times brought home eight or nine fish in a day, and on one occasion at the Ghrimersta, 13. Three gentlemen from the Castle, in a day and a half, caught in the Ghri mersta, 27 salmon, the two largest weighing respectively 15 and 16 pounds ; and two gentlemen, a short time before, caught in little more than two days 32 salmon. In fact the lochs and river at the last named places quite swarmed with fish, affording sport unsurpassed in Scotland. •;."'-=' , 44 , -.1 .° ! , ,,, , Z,::: - yv, 1 p:O t vik;i-. oi - io: .4 7 A l ' l \ - ; - %;‘. : 1 / 4 7 -1 1. . -- r- 1 PEEBLES. The report of the directors states that .tho gross ' 11 S revenue of the railway for the six months' ending the 31st of July last amounted to £7,305, and for the corresponding six months of 1862 to £6,2,32, exhibiting an increase of £1,073. The moiety of the revenue belonging to the company was 13,65`2. The disposable balance amounted to £3,238, of which £255 was payable to the North British Rail way Company, being one half of the surplus after . making provision for a dividend of 6 per cent. on the company's ordinary shares for the two past half years. Out of the remainder the directors proposed. to pay the usual dividend of 5 per cent. on the preference shares, and a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. upon the ordinary shares, leaving a balance of 1 : 208 . The dividend upon the ordinary shares might have been q- per cent. fur the past half-year, but the directors were desirous to carry forward a surplus sufficient tomeet certain old accounts which were in course of adjustment. It was proposed to make the dividends payable on the 13th inst. 'rho North British Railway Company continued to discharge their obligation s in an efficient and satis factory manner.

The third ordinary meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Loudon Tavern, Sir Macdonald Stephenson in the chair. Mr. IV. Thomson, the secretary, read the notice convening the meeting. The report stated that the operations of the past year had, on the whole, been. attended with a satisfactory result. 0 wing altogether to the injudicious proceedings of the late manager at Bombay a loss had been sustained on the working in that Presidency, but the directors had more ,han ever reason to believe that under the change made in the local management a profitable course of business would be opened. Mr. Bates, the Madras manager, whose operations had shown great ability and had been attended with signal success, had been directed to visit Bombay for the purpose of assisting by his advice in the reorgani sation of the company's business there. The business in the Madras Presidency had shown a steady improvement from the commencement. The reports received from the manager at Calcutta continued most encouraging as to the prospects of the company. The result of the few months' operations, although the accounts did not show a profit, was satisfactory. As soon as the system was brought into operation the receipts rose from £9B in the month of January, to £1,431 in the month of February. The expense which had been incurred in the hire of carts was now being diminished by the substitution of the company's own vehicles. The Bengal Government being about to discontinue their bullock trains, had notified their readiness to enter into contracts for the work hitherto done by them, and a tender on the part of the company had accordingly been sent in. It was well understood that the Govern ment would, on favourable terms, make over to the parties contracting the plant necessary for carrying on the work. The revenue ac count showed a balance of profit of £2,008, of which the directors recommend that £750 should be ap propriated to the payment of a dividend for the half-year ending the 30th of June last, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The capital account showed that £25,000 had been received, and £13,610 expended, leaving a balance of £11,390. The re venue account for the year ending June 30 showed that £24,405 had been received, and £22,397 ex pended, leaving a balance of £2,008. The CHAIRMAN said that a dividend earned from revenue of 3 per cent. for the half-year would fur nish the best commentary upon the text of the re port. The company's operations had been but recently undertaken, and the usual incidents had occurred—partial success and partial failure, the former of a nature to afford grounds to hope for its continuance and increase, the latter being suffici ently explained by the want of judgment in a par ticular agency which had since been re-modelled. The principles on which the company had proceeded, of endeavouring to act with rather than against ex isting associations had been appreciated, and enabled the directors to secure the good will and co-opera tion of others engaged in the same pursuit They had proceeded cautiously, and were enabled, notwith standing losses from causes they had no reason to anticipate, to recommend a dividend upon the re. suit of the half year's working. The company had advantages over other parties in India of capital and systematic organisation, with officers specially trained in the great carrying establishment of this country, and selected for their high qualifications. Those ge ntlemen had, as a body, fully justified the e xpectations of the board, and the shareholders might rely upon their interest being safe in their hands. lie concluded by moving that the report and accounts be approved and adopted, and that a dividend be declared at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, for the half-year ending the 30th June, payable on and after the 19th inst.: Mr. W. HARTRIDGE seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. On the motion of Captain J. A. ANGUS, seconded by the Rev. H. WALDRON, Mr. J. E. Coleman and Mr, G. Engstrom, the retiring auditors, were re elected, with an allowance of 10 guineas each. The proceeding concluded with a vote of thanks the chairman and directors. LOLD CLIME'S BEQUEST TO GENERAL VINOY, I n a codicil to his will, dated May 23 last, the late Lord Clyde thus expresses himself in reference to the above distinguished French general, now commanding the Ist di vision of the army of Paris :—" I give and bequeath to Lieut.-Gen. Vinoy, commanding a division in the French army, and my old and beloved comrade in the Crimea, the sum of £5OO, as a token of my especial esteem and regard." During the Crimean campaign Gen. Venoy commanded a body of French troops placed near those commanded by Sir Colin Campbell at Balaklava. On several occasions difficult and perilous duties were confided to their united forces. The upshot was a warm and lasting friendship between the two generals, whose example contributed much to the esta blishment of that thorough good understanding, kindly feel ing, and mutual admiration, which marked the intercourse of the Zouaves and Highlanders throughout the Crimean war. If we are not misinformed, a portrait of Gen. Vinoy, painted expressly for Queen Victoria, now hangs in her Majesty's writing-closet at Windsor Castle, as a companion picture to that of his comrade in arms, Sir Colin Campbell. At the assault and capture of the Malakoff General Viuoy greatly distinguished himself, and at this moment there is no officer in the French army more likely than Vinoy to obtain a marshal's baton. i vest"' E XTE NSIVE FIRE AT LIVERPOOL.—EanY , _ er day morning a fire broke out in one of iLi th,e, a u r !' i l. ng _ floors of Itainford-equsre Rico and Flour I\ifils 11 ton-street, Liverpool, belonging to Alessrss. an ticipated at Cross, corn merchants and millers.
