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. Wo 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 officors on that occasion. Whatever apathy or negligence there might have been on the part of other branches of the service, thero was none whatever on the pa j ,‘ 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 men noted do for their relief.

Lewis, the coroner for Essex, has just can eluded an inquest at the Railway Hotel, Martin-street, Stratford, into the circumstances of the death of Thomas flicks, who lived at 82, Angel-lane, Stratford, and who died on Sunday, the 26th 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 he 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 bad 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 : " 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.

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 were led a steady gallop of three-quarters of a mile by Xi ; Sister to Rosi crucian following by herself in their wake. The Palmer led Cotytto and Adosioda a nice half-speed gallop of a mile and a quarter. Blue Gown was sent two miles, Vaba lathus joining him in the last mile. Blue Gown never went 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, Lopez, Red Rice, Blucher, Burford, Arbaces, Minnie War ren, Bonnie Lass, Iberia, Beata, Crucifixion filly, and Athena, from Danebury; whilst Tom Day had Black bird colt, Dentelle, Becky Sharp filly, Hippodamia filly, Lava filly, and Lady Raglan. Dentelle then led Blackbird colt, Becky Sharp filly, and Hippodamia, filly a nice gal lop of nearly a mile. Logarithm, The Earl, Equerry, and Cock of the Walk afterwards went 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 trainers are at York. The horses which have galloped are The Prior, colt by Carnival, Cztprera, Evelina, Little Bell, Number Nip, Parasol, Lancer, Flora, Louisa, Nomedia colt, Eutreznet colt, Rol Tub, Annie Stewart, Gleaner, Intl:cat°, Stella, Philippic, Geant des Batalles, Brawl's, Brantingham, and Valtz. All the others are walking or cantering. MIDDLERAM.—As the majority of our horses have gone to York, I have not much to report from this quarter. To day (Thursd a y) O s b orne sent Pretty John and Slap Bang a good two mile gallop. Disraeli, Apemantus, and Sister to Little Agnes galloped a mile and a half, and the rest of Lis lot cantered. Dawson had Holstein, Czar, King of the Fairies, Dean, Minster Bell, Mendicant, Custaloga, Der ventio, Highland Duck, Hymen, and Damsel filly, all doing nice work of a mile and a halt Fobert's Beechwood led Glenavon a good gallop of a mile and a half, and the re mainder of his team cantered. BEDNESFORD.—Ndxt week at Derby, for tho Drakelow Stakes, we have Ottoman, Cheddington, and Pantaloon, all in strong work. The latter is for sale. Moira Handi cap.—W3 have Vex, Ottoman, and Cheddington. Vex is looking well, and is as quiet as a sheep. Nursery Plato.— 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.—Vex and Master Willie are engaged, but I fancy the distance a little too far for both. MALTON.—York Meeting being on this wool - , things have been very dull here. The following horses at home were inactive work : —Lady Zetland, George Osbaldistone, colt by Cramond, Queen of York, Malta, Fair Emily, King Caradoc, Consternation, Cure colt, Blacklocl- Lapidist's dam filly, Dutch Adlui7e, Skylark, Merry and Wise, Booty, Thunder, Thankful, My Lord, Royal Oak, and Itpolya. Tuesday—The Cramoad coi.t was sent a slash ing sweat of five miles, and this will bo found a useful horse when wanted. FINDON.—The weather has sadly interrupted the work of the horse; but when possible they have been sent along, especially the following, entered in the Cesarowitch and Cambridgeshire :—lforupiug Girl, Thalia, filly by New minster 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-old; Tasman and Mar tinique, together with a number of other horses that will shortly ba wanted. ILSLEY.—Since my last report wo have had a great deal of rain, which has made our downs in capital going order. Wo are not likely to have many horses running until Ox ford. At Derby, Feodor and Ligurian are in tho Trades men's Plate, but Feodor is not in work. Ligurian is doing good work, looking and going first-class, but I think ho has too much to carry to have any chance of winning. STANTON.---At Derby, in the Tradesmen's Plate, we have Christmas Carol, Mrs. Allan, and Conundrum entered; and slioell the first-named be sent, ho must be kept on the right side. On Tuesday, Christmas Carol, Jezabel, See-Saw, Fidelia, Batonnier, Mrs. Allan, apd Stanton wore sent about two miles at a good pace. Salliet, Tarqu'n, Lord of the Valley, Jove, Ben Block, and Palmitin() went a mile. CHILTON.—On Wednesday Acton, M.A., Kicksy Wicksy, and the Lifeboat filly went a good canter each of three quarters of a mile, all going free. Virginia Creeper led Tiger Tim the like distance twice, and then the old mare was sent the two-n.le gallop by herself, going better than I over saw her, the cindition of the downs at present just suiting her. M.A. galloped half a mile by li , insalf at his best pace, and he wi'l win a race before long. Clatfurd has commenced work again by going scum rare mile gallops, and I have no doubt ho will soon show us a bit of his form. EPSOM.—Tho Laird and Beeswing, from tho Squire's, continua to do good work, but until we have the weights for the Cesarewitch, and seo how they go on, it would be unwise to say more. Nightingall is still busy with Perth, Election, Little Go, and Glee Stuart, and, until they went to Dover, Grand Duke, Otho, and Cecil. I think the latter will much improve on the form he showed in tho Town Plate. North , ll, Lady Glencora, and Isabela have done well from Potter's, and old Hence is gone to try her for tune at Boulogne on Sunday. The Pitt Place team have been very busy, and as several of them aro engaged 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, Glenmore, and Nanny Thormanby in the Two Year Old Stakes, and Queen E bba in the Handicap Plate, on Tao...day ; Isabella and False Alarm in the Welter Cup, on Wednesday.

Cap-a-Pie cut out - rho work at a moderate pace, with The Spy, Blueskh', and Viscount in close attendance, Gea3t des Batailles and the favourite following at a clear ity:;erval, Mysotis bringing . up the rear. These positions were maintained for a quarter of a mile, when The Spy raced past Cap-a-Pie, taint a slight lead of Col. Pearson's cult, she pair drawing clear of Blueskin, Viscount, and Geant des Battailles, Cha:awoed being pulled into the rear in company with Mysodi. Approaching the mile post Blueskin slightly healed alai as they traversed the plantat;on side he drew up to The Spy's quarter, Gap-a-Pie going on third, Viscount next, with the favourite and Mysotis sti'l in the rear. About five furlongs from home Blucskia got up to The Spy's head, and Viscount simultaneously headed Cap-a-Pie, Ohara wood at the same time threadi-ig Ifs way out of the ruck, se that when ho entered the rails he occupied a prominent position. When fairly in the straight Blue skin beaded The Spy, the pair being new succeeded by Viscount, Cap-a-Pie, Geant desßatailles, and Charnwood, who w,re in cara2act order. Geant des Batailles retired at the bond, Gnarnwood in the centre cf 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 Whmtewall representative for abaut 20 yard; when he suddenly retired, and it was afterwards discovered that he had broken a blood vessel: Viscount was now left with a clear load of Blueskin and Cap a Pie, the latt e r 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 canter by two lengths, a neck only separating Cap a-Pie and Blueskin, and a head the latter from The Spy; Charnwood was four'A, Geant des Batailles fifth, and Mysotis last of all. lintne.diately after the winner had passed the post 20 to 1 was taken about him for ti_te St. Leger, bat in a trice he advanced to 11 to 1, which was Leoke,l to £s;).. Then 1,000 to 100 became the bi : ;liest offer, and this having been accepted in ono bUt, and the like rate of odds to smaller sums, the bookmakers declined to make any advance upon 8 to 1, which the bickers wort) at le igth fain to acc.•pt. At the close 7to 1 was taken. 1,000 to 10 was wanted about Cap-a-Pie, but the layers declined to lay so long a price, and a similar remarks applies to Blueskiu.

EBOR HANDICAP SCRATC'HINGS. —The following horses were announced as struck out of the MLR- Handicap on Wednesday night :—Taraban (at 8 p.m.,) Buttercup and Stiathconan (at 1.45 p.m.) VISCOUNT.—After the Great Yorkshire Stakes yester day, Mr. Padwiek, the nominal owner of the Earl, offered £3,000 for 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 sttal 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 Brailsiord, there will be 41 brood mares, seve ral of them with foals (which will be sold separately), five yearlings, as well as horses in training. SMATHCONAN.—This home 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, broka 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 se:f 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 fortnight. ADM nar. Rous.—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 quitt3d York, without witnessing the last day's racing, about noon yes . .erday, feeling somewhat shaken, and considering it advis.:.ble 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 h 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 ifersoy 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 vortical steam boilers gave way and precipitated about ten tons of water in the red-hot 'furnace, the result being that the furnace was entirely do- Stroyed, and iron, bricks, and boiling hot 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 furr ace man, named 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 ho 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 hangingfrom his flesh, and tho wounds by the scalding were excessively severe. It was evident as soon as ho was placed in the hospital that ho was so much ioj ;red that he 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 one 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 bciler 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 connected with it entirely smashed, and an adjoining furnace destroyed to a considerable extent. The matter will be thorouglily_ sifted by the coroner when he comes to make an inquiry into the deaths which have occurred. Later information stated that the two men, Lynch and Fegan, had expired. The former died at half-past eleven o'clock last night, and the latter at a quarter to ono 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—about 1,500 million dollars ! THE KILT AT LUCERNE.—A correspondent wh• has been journeying from Rome to Switzerlaml, crossing the St. Gothard, says : "On the box of each of her Majesty'i three carriages sits a. servant in the Highland dress."—lnrerness 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 ! " We learn from good authority that the late Mr. tf. 4. 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 be died he desired to be received into the Church, and died a Catholic. R.l.P.—Weekly .Register. The inexhaustible " Cham," 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 the director. " Then," replies the mamma, by no means disconcerted, "you should give him 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. Tho provisions have immediate operation, and can now be heard by the superior courts. ROYAL HORTICULTURA L 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 'tight 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 ono 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, 1\ 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 naivete, "We should not leave you to go home with the fiddlers now." ATTEMPT TO UPSET A TRAIN.—TIIO 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 last Saturday night by placing a sleeper across the line, which 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 in 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 bemme 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 few minutes the two floors of the fact n-y became one complete body of flame'; and that was not all,lfor 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 trade were destroyed, r oaling of the main building remaining except a portion of the outer walls, The whole of the casks in the open yard are also nearly destroyed._ ---- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. —This Day.
