The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; ;he loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun dred. Gapes and Roup (the two most fatal diseases which attack game) the birds have been and always are free from. This is attributable to their robust constitution and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of feather to the greatest advantage ; they cannot be sur passed. The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the Zoological Society's Gardens, London, and his Imperial Majesty's Pheasantry at Compiegne and St. Germains, are fed with my food.

The lead ing division rounded the bend into the straight in a clus ter. The first to give way was Salamanca, who was beaten directly they got in the line for home, and her place was immediately taken by Tormentor, the Vixen ,gelding passing Redbourne, while Lady Lambton retired simultaneously with the movement of her stable com panion.

The first to show in advance was Glenlivet and M.A., La Rose and Hilda being just behind them. Before reaching the distance Hilda "split" the two leaders, and on reaching the commencement of the stand enclosure she assumed the lead, winning by three-quarters of a length ; a length divided the second and third ; Regula, who passed a lot of eased horses at the stand, was fourth, La Rose fifth, and Grank Turk sixth ; then came Peckwater, Alibi, the Day light. colt, Hymen, and Lord Chatham in a cluster, the sue eeediraglot. being Adolphus and Merry Lass, Wellington last of all.

STAMPED sd. A SHIP'S COOK CHARGED WITH POISONING. An extraordinary case of poisoning was heard at the Liverpool Police-court yesterday. The accused, Charles Courtois, was the cook of a ship called the Roscote, which arrived from San Francisco in the Mersey on Tuesday, when he was given in charge for, as is alleged, having poisoned a seaman named Thomas Brown, and attempted to poison Richard Murray, also a seaman on board the Roscote. On the 29th of December, the vessel then being in latitude 25.33 S., longitude 28.6 W., some curry and rice was cooked by Courtois, and given to Brown and Murray. The latter merely tasted the mixture, and, not liking the taste of it, threw it overboard. However he took enough to make him seriously ill, for immediately after be swallowed it he went into convulsions, and his body became stiff and rigid. The captain gave him a strong emetic, which caused him to vomit, and he ultimately recovered. BroWn, who ate the whole of the curry and rice he got from the cook, was thrown into fearful convulsions directly after doing so. An emetic and brandy was administered to him, and every possible exertion made to save him, but without avail ; he died in great agony the .same afternoon. The crew being convinced that the cook had poisoned the men, insisted upon his being placed under arrest. He was accordingly put in irons. On his chest being searched a bottle containing quicksilver and a peculiar kind of dust was found in it, and it was also discovered that verdigris had been scraped from the ship's bell by some person. The captain was deter mined to have the matter thoroughly investigated, if possible, and to that end preserved the vomit of Murray, and the crew opened the body of the de ceased man Brown, " took out the whole of his inside, and put it into a jar," as stated in the official log. These were now in the hands of an analytical chemist at Liverpool, and the prisoner was re manded until the result of that gentleman's exami nation can be ascertained. Shortly after the ship sailed from San Francisco Brown and the prisoner quarrelled and fought. The latter had got the worst of the battle, and he was subsequently heard to say that if he could not settle Brown by fighting, he would do so in another manner. THE MORTON TESTIMONIAL.

THE " LISTS" AT EPSOM. —We hear that the so-called " Committee for the Suppression of the List Monopoly" will, by an appeal to the law, endeavour to prevent list betting at the ensuing Epsom Spring Meeting. This re solve, if true, is most selfish and unsportsmanlike, for the list boxes at Epsom are totally unconnected with the Grand Stand enclosure, and therefore do not interfere in any way with the ready-money bookmakers who bet in the ring. THE BREACH.—This horse, the favourite for the City and Suburban, came over from Ireland a few days ago, and has been located at Warwick with his stable-com panion, Fire-eater. It was generally reported in the town that The Breach was at least a stone better than Fire eater, who cut up ignominiously in a Handicap Plate (over three-quarters of a mile) won by Sugarstick yester day. It may be mentioned that the Breach does not find favour with the horse-watchers, many of whom describe him as little bettor than a hack. Ho has no engagements at Warwick. The wheat in the south of England .is looking bad, and the turnip crop is not poking very favourable. Last year's turnip crop in the south was the most abundant one known for years, ono acre yielding as much as. ten acres in some years. [ADTERTISENIENT.] —Holloway's Pills. Invalids dis tracted by indigestion and discouraged in their search for its remedy should make trial of this nev,:r-failing medi cine. A lady, long a martyr to dyspeptic tortures, writes that Holloway's pills made her fuel as if a burden had been taken off her. Her spirits, formerly low, have greatly imp-oved ; her capricious appetite has given place to healthy hunger, her dull, sick headache has departed, and gi adually so marvellous a change has been effected that she is altogether a " new creature," and again fit for her duties. These pills may be administered with safety to the most delicate, they never act harshly, nor do they ever induce weakness; they rightly direct deranged and control escesigYo RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. Commissioner Alvah Crocker, in his report on the Hoosac Tunnel, strongly urges the necessity of a railroad up the Deerfield valley, eight miles be yond the mouth of the tunnel, in order to open the vast timber tract now inaccessible, except for a short time in each year. A contract for lighting the Hoosac tunnel has recently been awarded to L. I. Fisk and Co., of Springfield. The Wall-street Journal, alluding to the freight rates of the Union Pacific Railroad, says :—" The Government contract for carrying freight from the terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad in Colorado, South and West, has been let to a Leavenworth firm of freighters at $1.83 per 100 lb. per 100 miles, as fast as the railroad is completed. The same freight is carried for 38 cents per 100 lb. per 100 miles. This contract is the largest given out by the Government, and has been carried heretofore by Wells, Fargo, and Co. It amounts to over poomo per annum, as it includes all fuel and stores for the military and Indian outposts in the territory lying West of Omaha." About the Central Pacific it adds :—" At the Cali fornia end of the Pacific Railroad, tunnels, mostly through the solid rock, succeed each other at in tervals of a few miles. Taking the road from Sacramento, the first tunnel is at a distance of 76 miles, through Grizzly Hill, among the lower un dulations of the Sierra. Like all the rest, it is 18 feet high and 16 feet wide. Its length is 500 feet. The second is 300 feet long ; the third, 300; fourth, 100; fifth, 100; the sixth (the great Summit tunnel) is 1,659 feet long; the seventh, 100 ; eighth, 375 ; ninth, 216 ; tenth, 509 ; eleventh, 577 ; twelfth, 342 ; thirteenth, 870 ; fourth on the Truckee, 128 ; and the fifteenth, 80." FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.—A tradesman named James Peters, aged 52, and his two sons, of Portscatha, Cornwall, were drowned on Saturday evening a few miles from Falmouth to which port they were towing a large balk of oak. It is believed that the boat fouled the tim ber, and that its sida or stern was then stove in. The two sons were very good swimmers, and as the accident must have happened a short distance from land, they doubtless perished in their endeavours to save their father. DAVID GARRICK'S PARENTAGE.—This future Roscius was not altogether an Englishman. His grand father, the founder of the familys a far as England was concerned, was originally Do la Garrigue, a Huguenot of Bordeaux, forced to fly from France in 168.5, to - escape the storm then sweeping over the reformed church ; Madame de lit Garrigue, or Garric, following some months later, hid in the hold of a small fourteen ton skiff, belonging to one Peter Cock, of Guernsey. In that piteous plight she remained a month, tossed about in heavy gales and fearful tempests, in peril of her life by shipwreck on the one hand, or by ecclesiastical zeal on the other, should she fall into the hands of the authorities. It was not until a year and a half after their own flight that they received their little son Peter, the future lieutenant of dragoons, and our David's father: the persecution of the moment extending even to babes and sucklings, on the principle of crushing the eggs of the cockatrice betimes. In fulness of time Peter made a love-match; about as imprudent as love-matches gene rally are. He married Arabella, the daughter of a certain Reverend Mr. Clough, a vicar-choral of Lichfield, and her self the daughter of an Irish mother; and thus in little David's veins were mingled the three streams of French, Irish, and English blood, affording good tracking-ground to the ethnologist, and first-rate elements for dramatic talent and steady success.—Dickens's " All the Year Round." There seems to be a probability that next year's exhibi tion of the Royal Agricultural Society will be held in South Lancashire or its neighbourhood. The Manchester and Liverpool society, with a view of obtaining an acceptance of the invitation, have passed a literal resolu• tion. It has been determined, in case of the Royal society coming within this district, to abandon their show for 1869, to give £5OO towards the expenses, and to assist in making the royal show a success. The Royal society is left to settle the place of meeting. The arrangements for the Queen's visit to Aldershot have been completed. Her Majesty will proceed from Windsor to the camp, by road, to-morrow morning, will partake of luncheon at the Pavilion, and will return to Windsor in the evening. There will be no great staff in attendance, but only some ladies and officers of the Household. During the Royal visit the troops will be inspected by her Majesty, but it is doubtful whether a review will be bold. Norman AT TUNIS. —A lady recently returned from Tunis, writes:—"l want money to send to Tunis to our Consul tieneral there to save some lives, for the famine is very terrible, and the poor, patient Arabs are lying down in the streets and dying of hunger. I have seen them, so I know it is true and there is no exaggeration. They have had two years of no rain, and, besides, a plague of locusts ; they have lost every means of living, and I have seen numbers of them daily too much exhausted and too near death to be able to rise to buy bread with the money given to them. I have seen babies in arms with faces like old men's, so pinched and drawn with hunger, and the skin 611 shrivelled on their poor little bones. I saw the Irish famine, but it was not nearly as bad as what I saw at Tunis. There is famine also in Algeria, and we saw much misery there ; but France is very rich, and France is doing a great deal for her Arabs. At Tunis, the Bey is the Gove rnment , the Bey is poor, and the whole country and a ll classes an d the ad are suffering cruelly." The Social Science Association have again had the ques tion of compulsory education brought before them, this time by the Rev. T. Fowler, who has read a paper on the subject. The essayist, commenting on the opposition offered by the English people to compulsion in any form, said the feeling which prompted it was " an odd combi nation of patriotic pride, genuine love of liberty, and perverted sentiment." The opponents of compulsory education were, however, daily becoming fewer in number. The rev. gentleman was in favour, first, of compelling every district to provide schools sufficient for its need ; and second, of obliging the parents to avail themselves of the schools thus provided. It would be a great step if the House would appoint a commission to inquire into the best means of carryi ng ou t a pl an o f c ompulsory education. He would proceed by degi-ees, until a system wer, organised under w hi c h a boy on leaving school should be compelled to obtain from her Majesty's Inspector, a certi- ACatt4 With(Ata t tiAkt COI4.(I4OthARPSWKA ~~ ~ .~-~~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~/ ~a~ SUSPECTED - MURDER B 7 .1 - • - Qts3- On Wednesday morning a man, wit ts6itai '. h , 4 - ; t Richard William Woolcott, and desc paled •• • • cabinet-maker, residing at Hoxtoi, was akiTrehefled J the police and taken to the Islington Police-station, and was charged on suspicion of having caused the death of his son, Thomas George Woolcott, bydrowning him in the, Regent's Cana/. On Tuesday night, between eight and nine o'clock, a noy of the name of John Pritchard was passing along the banks of the Regent's Canal, near the Rosemary Branch Bridge, when he saw the man in custody kneeling by the side of the water, but what he was about he could not tell. The boy asked him if he was drowning a dog, and he said he was not ; his little boy was in the water. At that moment the boy saw the hair of some one on the water, and he saw that the person was alive, and his fingers were moving as if attempting to swim. Both the man in custody and the boy tried to get the body out of the water, and whilst so engaged the man in custody dropped some sugar out of his pocket. This he picked up, and whilst doing so the body sank, and did not rise again. At that time the man had a pair of slippers in his hands, which he stated belonged to the boy in the water. In an after conversation the man said that he had sent his child for some sug..r more than two hours before, and that finding he did not return home he went to look for him, and found him on the towing-path. Whilst walking under the 'bridge the boy fell into the water, and his slippers fell off. The boy, seeing Sergeant Stammers, 4 N, on the bridge, told him whs.' he had seen, and the prisoner was after wards taken by him, and when the charge was read over to him by Police-sergeant James Taylor, 33 N, he said, " I did not cause his death." On being placed in the cell the prisoner said, " I hope nothing serious will take place, as I am innocent." He afterwards said, " This affair might turn out very serious yet—l mean the affair of my boy being drowned." All Tuesday night the canal was dragged, but no success attended the efforts of the police until the morning, when the body of the child was found near the New North-road Bridge, only a few yards from the spot pointed out by the boy as the place where be first saw the man in custody leaning over the water. The body was examined by Dr. Buckle, of Upper street, Ddington, and he found no external marks of violence, but as to the cause of death he could not state, as he had not made a post-mortem examination. THE CASE OF SCALDING AT A CONVENT. Margaret Waist, teacher at the school held at the Con; vent of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, Ashley-place, Pimlico, was re-examined at the Westminster Police-court, on Wednesday, charged with assaulting one Ellen Brown, a child of the tender age of four years. It will be remembered that the case for the prosecution is that the prisoner had taken the child and put it into the copper of boiling water; even if it fell in accidentally she would be guilty of a common assault for placing it in a position whereby hurt resulted to it. Sarah Gallagher, a girl of fifteen, employed in tno laundry of the convent, said she was at the wringing machine opposite the copper, and saw the prisoner bring the child in. She took it by the legs at the knees, lifted it up, and put its feet into the copper. She was in the act of sitting it on the ledge of the copper, when it fell in. Witness, in reply to Mr. Arnold, could not explain what she meant by this ; the child was never sat on the copper. The child did not cry at all, or scream ; it trembled very much. Some one said the socks were wet, and the pri. soner said, " I am afraid I have scalded the child ; I will send for its mother.' Honors Coppinger, a washerwoman, who waPpresent at the time, and had to be fetched to the court to give evidence, said she saw nothing of it until after it had been in the water ; she took off both its stockings and one boot, and Margaret Walsh (the prisoner) took off the other. She, however, was contradicted by Er;enie Moir, aged 12, who was in the bath-house, and saw nothing of the scalding. She said she took off the stockings nnd a boot, and Walsh took off the other boot The father was called, and then the court was adjourned for the attendance of the Sister of Charity who saw the injured child first. Sister Magdalene, sworn : I remember the day when the child was scalded. It was on Tuesday. I remember the fact. Prisoner asked me to come and put oil on the child's feet as they were scalded. She said she had taken it to punish it. I went to the schoolroom. The child was much burned about the insteps, not quite half way to the knees. I poured oil on the legs, and nothing more was done. I applied lint. The mother came and took the child away. By the Magistrate : There were four or five teachers, and I don't know what they said. The child was crying and suffering, and I asked her nothing. It was a weak cry. The skin was peeled down, as if it had been broken down by the stocking when it came off. Margaret Wal,h had no business to go into the wash-house. The Superior had told her not to go there. Remanded for a week, for the attendance of tne surgeon. LAW AND POLICE. THE CIRENCESTER HOSPITAL.—Vice-ChanCellOr Stuart has again had before him the case of the Cirencester Hospital, in the matter of an order made for the produc tion at the bar of the court of one Henry Wakefield, on whose life a lease existed. It was stated that Wakefield had been seen within twelve months, "and, if time were extended, he would in all probability be found. His Honour stayed the other made, and ordered the matter to stand over. THE MURDER OF A BOY AT WiNscomßE.--.4.lexander Holmes, who is in custody on a charge of having murdered a boy named John Wilkins, at Woodborough, Winscombe, Somerset, has been taken before the magistrates on remand, and,, after some additional witnesses were examined, he was committed for trial. FRAUD AT CAMBRIDGE.-At the Cambridge Borough Sessions, Thomas Philip Yokes, alias Massey, of high family connections, and well educated, appeared upon the charges of inducing one John Lambert, to endorse a cheque on the Provincial Bank of Dublin, with intent to defraud ; with obtaining by false pretences 2s. Gd. from James Bar ton, tailor; and with stealing a letter from the Bull Hotel. The evidence went to shew that the accutled was a com panion of Lord William Osborne; that he represented himself as about to g t married, and required clothes for that purpose, which Mr. Barton lk-t him have, and in pay ment a cheque was tendered which proved to be worthless. The 2s. GI was given back in change out of a supposed good cheque for £lB in payment for the suit of clothes. The jury found the prisoner guilty upon the second charge, and the Recorder sentenced him to six calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour. The first charge was not gone into, and upon the last a verdict of not guilty was returned. THE CASE OF MR. GLUM—At the Bow-street Police court, Robert Mitchell Glover was brought up on remand on a charge of begging. It will be remembered that the prisoner was apprehended by William Hewitt, the Mendieity officer, who found him begging in the street. He had formerly been in a good position, but 1 been reduced to misery in consequence of his drunken habits. Mr. Wood, a builder at Highgate, had most perseveringly striven to rescue him from his degraded condition, but bad failed in conse quence of the prisoner's utter incompetence for any occu pation whatever, and his incapacity to recollect the sitn plest facts, his good resolutions amongst the rest. He had indeed, under careful supervision, succeeded in keeping himself sober for a period of nine months, but after that time he had again relapsed, being easily seduced by ac quaintances. A certificate from the surgeon at the House of Detention stated that the prisoner was suffering from loss of memory, but could not be said to be insane. Mr.; Flowers committed the prisoner for a month. SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A CHILD.—A most painful case of cruelty to :a child has just been investigated at the Lewes Assizes, before the Lord Chief Justice. A respect. able-looking, middle-aged woman, named Charlotte Wingfield, described as a widow, was indicted for mall; ciously wounding a child named Tugwobd, with intent to disable him or do him grievous harm. The case occurred at Brighton, and had caused great excitement there. The child was 11 or 12 years of age, prisoner being his aunt. He was entrusted to her by his mother. The child, on examination, deposed that the prisoner had broken his nose with the poker, had made the poker red hot, taken him into her bedroom and apple lit to his ears, head, and neck. She had brol en his finger between her teeth. Asked as to scars on his face, he said that his aunt did it with a knife. His cousin also had ill-treated him, had beat him with his fists. Wounds were made on his legs by a red-hot poker, and vinegar was then rubbed into them. The surgeon stated that the child was horribly scarred when he saw him on his return to his mother from Brigh ton. Ire could hardly stand, having been half starved. Before he went to Brighton he had been a healthy, strong boy. One of the boy's fingers was broken, and both his knees were injured. On one knee he could see right through to the joint under the knee cap. Further interro gated, the boy said he had been put into a tank half full of water, and shut in, and water turned upon him. The prisoner denied the charge, but her own son corroborated his cousin's statement, and said his mother was nearly always drunk, and he wished to get away from her. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the tr".4.oeer eras sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude. -
