Dr. Massy, the head of the sanitary branch of the army medical service, in a letter to the Times, has related the facts which came within his cognisance, and clearly vindicated the character of the medical officers of the British army. We have been assured by one who was present that, so far from there being any neglect, he was particularly struck with the humanity displayed by the English medical officers on that occasion. Whatever apathy or negligence there might have bean on the part of other branches of the service, there was none whatever on the part of the doctors, for a great many medical officers spontaneously went, to the assistance of the - Russians sought out the wounded, and did all that luau could do for heir relief.—The Lancet.

Lewis, the coroner for Essex, has just cen'' • eluded an inquest at the Railway Hotel, Martin-street, Stratford, into the circumstances of the death of ThomaS Ricks, who lived at 82, Angel-lane, Stratford, and who died on Sunday, the 2flth of July. The deceased had been for nearly thirty years in the service of Messrs. Volck man and Sons, the confectioners. His landlady, Mrs. Smart, procured, as she thought, some milk of sulphur from Mrs. Hills', a chemist's shop inHigh-street, Stratford, some of which was given to the deceased, who was suffer ing from rheumatism. In the early part of the Sunday he was found to be suffering from the effects, of some irri tant poison which corresponded with the effect of nitrate of baryta on the human frame, and from which ho undoubtedly died. As he had lived in the house of a Mrs. Smart, whose daughter was jointly entitled with the deceased to a considerable sum of money, some suspicion arose as to the cause of death, con sidering its suddenness and his previous good health. Mrs. Hills, who had previously stated that she had no baryta in her shop, was recalled, and persisted in her averment. After a lengthened deliberation, the following special verdict was returned t " That the deceased William Hicks died from the effects of baryta Accidentally sold by Mrs. Hills to Mrs. Smart as flour of sulphur. The jury are unanimously of opinion that Mrs. Smart is entirely exonerated from all blame, and that gross carelessness existed on the part of Mrs. Hills. The jury also regret that Dr. Hamilton was not more prompt in his attendance." The coroner very severely admo nished Mrs. Hills with respect to the statements she had made as to her possession of green fire, or baryta, in any form, and expressed his firm conviction of her unfitness to keep a chemist's shop.

STANTON.-At Derby, in the Tradesmen's Plate, we have Christmas Carol, Mrs. Allan, and Conundrum entered; and should the first-nsmed be sent, he must be kept on the right side. On Tuesday, Christmas Carol, Jezabel, See-Saw, Fidelia, Batonnier, Mrs. Allan, and Stanton were sent about two miles at a good pace. Salliet, Tarquin, Lord of the Valley, Jove, Ben Block, and Palmitine west a mile. CHivrom.--On Wednesday Acts3a, M.A., Kicksy Wieksy, and the Lifeboat filly went a good canter each of three quarters of a mile, all going free. Virginia Creep3r led Tiger Tim the like distal:co twice, and then the old mare was sent the two-mile gallop by herself, going bettor than I ever saw her, the condition of the downs at present just suiting her. 31. A. galloped half a mile by himself at his best pace, and he will win a race before long. Clatford has commenced work again by going acme rare mile gallops, and I have no doubt ho will soon show us a bit of his form. EPSOM.—The Laird and Naming, from the Squire's, continue to do good work, but until we have the weights for the Cesarewitcb, and sea how they go on, it would be unwise to say more. Nightingall is still busy with Perth, Election, Little Go, and Glen Stuart, and; until they went to Dover, Grand Duke, Otho, and Cecil. I think thi latter will much improve on the form he showed in the Town Pl a t e . Northill, Lady Glencora, and Isabella have done well from Potter's, and old Helice is gone to try lisq- for tune at Boulogne on Sunday. The Pitt Place team have been very busy, and as several of them are ongagA at Oxford, I expect they will be heard of to advantage in the University city, particularly Faun, Heather Bell, and David. At Canterbury we have Cecil and The Laird in the East Kent Handicap, Bianca, Glenn:tore, and Nanny Thormanby in the Two Year Old Stakes, and Queen E bba in the Handicap Plate, on Tuesday; Isabella and False Alarm in the Welter Cup, on Wednesday.

Cap-ft-Pie cut out tho work at a moderate pace, with 'the Spy, Blueskin, and Viscount in close attendance, Geant des Batailles and the favourite following at a clear interval, Mysotis bringing up the rear. These positions were maintained for a quarter of a mile, when The Spy raced past Cap-a-Pie, taking a slight lead of Col. Pearson's colt, the pair drawing clear of Blueskin, Viscount, and Geant des Battailles, Charnwood being pulled into the rear in company with Mysotis. Approaching the mile post Blueskin slightly headed Cap-a-Pie, and as they traversed the plantation side he drew 'up to The Spy's quarter, Cap-a-Pie going on third, Viscount next, with the favourite and Mysotis still in the rear. About five furlongs from home Blueskin got up to The Spy's head, and Viscount simultaneously headed Cap-a-Pie, Charn wood at the same time threading his way out of the ruck, so that when he entered the rails he occupied a prominent position. When fairly in the straight Blue skin headed The Spy, the pair being now succeeded by Viscount, Cap-a-Pie, Goant desßatailles, and Charnwood, who were in compact order. Geant dos Batailles retir,rd at the bend, Charnwood in the centre of the course then drew up to Viscount, who took up the running as they crossed the road, Lord Stamford's horse pulling double at the head of the Whitewall representative for about 20 yards, when he suddenly retired, and it was afterwards discavered that he had broken a blood vessel. Viscount was now left with a clear lead of Blueskin and Cap a Pie, the latter of whom headed Mr Savile's horse within the distance, and the pair ran a good race home for second place, Viscount having the finish to himself, winning in a common cantor by two lengths, a neck only separating Cap a-Pie and Blueskin, and a head the latter from The Spy; Charnwood was fourth, Geaat des Batailles fifth, and Hysotis last of all.

Eton, HANDICAP SCRATCIIINGS.—Tho following horses were announced as struck out of the Ebor Handicap on Wednesday night :—Taraban (at 8 p.m.,) Buttercup and Strathcouun (at 1.45 p.m.) VISCOITNT.—After the Great Yorkshire Stakes yester day, Mr. Padwick, the nominal owner of the Dirl, offered .£3,000 . f0r Viscount, which Mr. John Scott refused, saying that no price would induce him to part with the horse. The sale of Mr. Jackson's breeding stud is to take place at Fairfield on Saturday in the Doncaster week. Messrs. Tattersall state that the entire stud will be sold without reserve. In addition to Blair Athol, Neptunus, Scandal, and Harry Brailsford, there will bo 44 brood mares, seve ral of them with foals (which will be sold separately), five yearlings, as well as horses in training. STRATRCONAN.—This horse broke down badly in his off fore-leg when running for the York Cup, and has, in all probability, terminated his career on the Turf. • CHARNWOOD.—This colt, who started first favourite for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, broke a blood-vessel in the head when about 300 yards from home, and pulling double at the girths of Viscount. He stopped suddenly in French's hands, and was passed by Cap-a-Pie, Blueskin, and The Spy, finishing fifth. BUTLER.—The popular light-weight so prostrated him sef by sweating to ride Vex for the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood that, after the conclusion of Lewes Meeting, he was confined to the house for a week. It was only by dint of caretul nursing that he was sufficiently strong to ride The Spy in the Ebor Handicap on Wednesday, the only race in which he has ridden for a fort night. ADMIRAL R.ous.—We are happy to state that Admiral Roue has not suffered materially from his accident in fall ing on the Doncaster platform while en route for York on Tuesday night. The gallant gentleman was present, both Wednesday and Thursday, on the course, apparently in his usual health and spirits, but he quitted York, without witnessing the last day's racing, about noon yesterday, feeling somewhat shaken, and considering it advisable to get away quietly before the excitement and bustle of the evening specials.

Before the public have recovered from the shock caused by the terrible accident in North Wales, the particulars of a second disaster has reached us, little less calamitous than the former. A Liverpool paper of Friday says :—Last even Ing an explosion occurred at the well-known works of the Mersey Steel and Iron Company, which has resulted in the deaths of four persons, and the injury of about fifteen or twenty others. From what we can learn one of the plates of the boiler, about 4 feet long and 18 Inches wide, in one of the vertical steam boilers gave way and precipitated about ten tons of water in the red-hot furnace, the result being that the furnace was entirely de stroyed, and iron, bricks, and boiling bet water wore scattered in all directions, a quantity of the debris being projected over a wall thirty-five feet in height into Grafton street. At the moment of the explosion a furraco man, tamed George Lupton, was in the act of drawing the furnace, when he was struck and thrown a distance of about ten yards against a stack of furnaces, and then covered with a quantity of red-hot bricks, his death being instantaneous. A number of men and boys in the vicinity of the furnace were very much scalded by the steam and boiling water—one of them so severely that he after wards died in the hospital, and others aro not expected to recover. The poor boy named Ellis succumbed to his in juries about twenty minutes past ten o'clock in the hospital. The skin was actually hanging, from his flesh, and the wounds by the scalding were excessively severe. It was evident as soon as he was placed in the hospital that ho was so much injured that ho would not long survive. Ellis was a pro mising lad of nearly 16 years of age. The next most serious case was that of a man called Fegan, who is not ex pected to live many hours. It was also mentioned on an inquiry being made at the hospital at a late hour, that ono Lynch was in a very bad condition. Until an official investigation is made into the circum stances of this sad affair, it would be unfair to make any explanation as to the cause of the explosion. Rumour of course says that there was too much pressure for the boiler; but fact, on the other hand, declares that the boiler had an unusually strong bottom, and that it was only three weeks ago that it was thoroughly repaired. How ever that may be, the bottom at any rate was blown out, the furnace conneeted with it entirely smashed, and an adjoining furnace destroyed to a considerable extents The matter will bo thoroughly sifted by the coroner when he comes to make an inquiry into the deaths which have occurred. Later informa' ion stated that the two men, Lynch and Fegan, had expired. The former died at half-past cloven o'clock last night, and the latter at a quarter to one this morning. At Bathurst, a few days since, a Chinaman named Ah Hung managed to strangle himself with his own tail.—Sydney Herald. The retail sales of intoxicating drinks in the United States, it is estimated, amount every year to the total value of all the railroads in the Union—a,bout 1,500 million dollars ! THE KILT AT LUCERNE. —A correspondent who has been journeying from Itome to Switzerland, crossing the St. Gothard, says : "On the box of each of her Majesty's three carriages sits a servant in the Highland dress."—lnverness Courier. It is related of the Miss Foote who has just married Senator Henderson, that once, when she and her sister went to a party with their uncle, Senator Foote, now deceased, a grammatical servant announced, "Senator Foote and the two Misses Feet 1 " We learn from good authority that the late Mr. M. H. Higgins ("Jacob Omnium") was received into the Church before he died. Mr. Higgins was married to a Catholic lady, his children have all been brought up as Catholics, and he was always well inclined to the old faith. Some days before he died he desired to be received into the Church, and died a Catholic. R.l.P.—Weckly Register. The inexhaustible "Chant," in a recent number of the Charivari, represents an anxious mother in conver sation with the director of a gymnasium, to whom she maintains that her darling son is entitled to a prize. "Your son, madam, persists in doing nothing," says tho director. "Then," replies the mamma, by no means disconcerted, ." you should give bim the prize for per- severance." NEW LAW ON "COMPENSATION CASES."—An amendment made in the new Regulation of Railways Act will obviate much litigation. In cases affecting land, either side can apply to one of the judges to try the case as an ordinary issue under the Lands Clauses Consolida tion Act, and all the proceedings are to follow as in other actions. This new enactment has reference to land to be purchased by railway companies, or land injuriously affected. The provisions have immediate operation, and can now be heard by the superior courts. ROYAL HOP.TICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The gardens will be open free on August 26, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., as usual, in commemoration of the anniversary of the late Prince Consort's birthday ; but in consequence of dis orderly persons abusing the privilege on former occasions, the council have decided on reserving to themselves the 'right of excluding any persons from entering the gardens (whom they think it would be undesirable to admit. The council appeal to the visitors on this occasion to assist them in preserving order and preventing destruction to the society's property. The Duke of Wellington was at a ball one night, and, as usual, could not find a partner. Inheriting his father's taste for music, he consoled himself by sitting down near the band, which happened to be a remarkably good one. By-and-bye the party broke up, Ni hen the other officers present were taken home by their lady friends, whilst young Wellesley (as he was called) was, by common consent, left to travel with the fiddlers. Old Lady Aldborough on one occasion put the duke in mind of the circumstance after he had become a great man, at which he laughed heartily, while she added, with naiveté, "We should not leave you to go home with the fiddlers now." Armin TO UPSET A TRAIL The Midland Great Western Railway Company have offered a reward of £2OO for the discovery of the perpetrator of the dia bolical attempt made on the line within about four miles of Ballinasloe, to upset the mail train from Dublin lad Saturday night by placing a sleeper across the line, •vhich was very near upsetting the ergine and train. Had the villanous attempt succeeded, there is no calculating the sacrifice of life and property that would have been the consequence. It is much to be deplored that this is one of a series of outrages, but the worst in its character, that has been perpetrated on this line iu the same locality. DESTRUCTION OF A PARAFFIN OIL MANUFAC TORY.—On Thursday a fire broke out in the paraffin wax manufactory belonging to Messrs. Blake and Nation, Wick-road, Hackney Wick. Whilst the men were at work in the factory a vapour from the oil came in contact with the flame of a candle. and the whole of the oil and par tially prepared wax became ignited and blazed up with such fury that all hands 'were obliged to rush out of the factory to avoid being burned to death. In the course of a feu minutes the two floors of the fact )ry became one complete body of flame'; and that was not allgor the oil and wax in a thorough state of ignition ran out of the building, resem bling streams of liquid fire, and ignited a large number of barrels in the open yard. Several fire-engines arrived with all possible expedition, but in spite of every exertion the factory, the machinery, and the valuable stock-in.s trade were destroyed, nothing of the main build;A g remaining except a portion of the outer walls. The whole of the casks in tho open yard are alsenigly flgstroyed. • TRAINING REPORTS. KINGSCLERE.—On Tuesday the lot on Cannon Heath were —The Palmer, Blue Gown, Xi, Satyr, Vabalathus, Adosinda, Cotytto, Siderolite, Pero Gomez, Sister to Rosi crucian, and King Cophetua. Green Sleeve was again absent, but I am informed from a reliable source she was out walking on the Overton road after 1 had written my report. The other horses did some long walking and trotting exercise, after which they cantered twice. Some walking exercise was again done, after which King Cophetua, Pero Gomez, and Siderolite wore led a steady gallop of three-quarters of a mile by Xi ; Sister to Rosi crucian following by herself in their wake. Tho Palmer led Cotytto and Adosinda a nice half-speed gallop of a mile and a quarter. 131uo Gown was sent two miles, Vaba lathus joining him in the last mild. Blue Gown never wont in better form, and, in fact, no horse can be doing better at the present time. STOCKBRIDGE.—On Wednesday the following horses were out and cantered :—Logarithm, The Earl, Herald, Equerry, Cock of the Walk, Border Knight, Rowallan, Lopes, Red Rico, Blucher, Burford, Arbaces, Minnie War ren, Bonnie Lass, Iberia, Beata, Crucifixion filly, and Athena, from Danebury; whilst Tom Day had Black bird colt, Dentello, Becky Sharp filly, Hippodamia filly, Lava filly, and Lady Raglan. Dentello then led Blackbird oolt, Becky Sharp filly, and Hippodamia filly a nice gal lop of nearly a mile. Logarithm, The Earl, Equerry, and Cock of the Walk afterwards wont a nice steady sweat of about four miles and a half. The Earl is now going like a steam-engine, and is sure to win the Leger, if all is as well with him on the 9th of next month as it is now. RICHMOND.— Since my last report very little work has been done with our nags, as all our trair.ers are at York. The horses which have galloped are The Prior, colt by Carnival, Caprora, Evelina, Little Bell, Number Nip, Parasol, Lancer, Flora, Louisa, Piomedia colt, Entremet colt, Rel Tub, Annie Stewart, Gleaner, Intricate, Stella, Philippic, Geant des Batailles, Brennus, Brantingham, and Maltz. All the others are walking or cantering. MIDDLEHAM.—As the majority of our horses have gone to York, I have not much to report from this quarter. To day (Thursday) Osborne sent Pretty Joha and Slap Bang a good two mile gallop. Disraeli, Apemantus, and Sistor to Little Agnes galloped a mile and a half, and the rest of his lot cantered. Dawson had Holstein, Czar, King of the Fairies, Doan, Minster Bell, Mendicant, Custaloga, Der ventio, Highland Duok, Hymen, and Damsel filly, all doing nice work of a mile and a half. Fobert's 13eochwood led Glenavon a good gallop of a mile and a half, and the re mainder of his team cantered. HEDNESFOILD.—Next week at Derby, for the Drakelow Stakes, we have Ottoman, Cheddington, and Pantaloon, all in strong ork. The latter is for sale. Moira Handi cap.—We have Vex, Ottoman, and Cheddington. Vex is looking well, and is as quiet as a sheep. Nursery Plate.— Masquer and Master Tom are well, and as they have been so lately before the public they need no comment from me. Rawdon Handicap.—Life Guardsman, Master Willie, Ottoman, and Cheddington are in. I don't think the "Guardsman" up to the mark, and Master Willie is not so good as ho was thought. Chatsworth Stakes.—Vox and Master Willie are engaged, but I fancy the distance a little too far for both. MALTON.—York Meeting being on this week, things have been very dull here. The following horses at home were inactive work:—Lady Zotland, George Osbaldistono, colt by Cramond, Queen of York, Malta, Fair Emily, King Caradoc, Consternation, Cure colt, Blacklock, Lapidist's dam filly, Dutch Admiral, Skylark, Merry and Wise, Booty, Thunder, Thankful, 11Iy Lord, Royal Oak, and ZANlya. Tuesday—The Cratnond colt was sent a slash ing sweat of five miles, and this will be found a useful horse when wanted. FINDON.--The weather has sadly interrupted the work of the horses, but when possible they have been sent along, especially the following, entered iu the Cesarowitch and Cambridgeshire:—Romping Girl, Thalia, filly by New 'Waster out of Irish Queen, Wolsey, and Owain Glyndwr. So also have been Madrid and Sir David Gam, engaged in the St. Leger, and the two-year-olds, Tasman and Mar tinique, together with a number of other horses that will shortly be wanted. ILSLEY.—Since my last report we have had a great deal of rain, which has made our downs in capital going order. We are not likely to havo many horses running until Ox ford. At Derby, Feodor and Ligurian aro in the Trades mou'o Plate ? but 'oodor 4 not in work. Pgurian is aping THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. NOTICE.
