POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGII-STR EET. A FOUND BRACELET.—Anne Pearce, a poor but decent-looking woman, living in Seven-dials, was charged before Mr. Knox with having in her possession a bracelet, supposed to be stolen. Mr. Joseph Josephs, pawnbroker, of Crown street, Soho, said that on the previous evening the prisoner offered a bracelet in pledge, stating in answer to his questions that she had found it. He had known the prisoner for some years, and asked her if she would tell the same story to a constable, and sent for one. She was taken to the station, and chargei with unlawful possession of the bracelet. Mr. Knox asked Mr. Josephs what was the value of the bracelet, and he said that if broken up, it would be worth about £2, but that if sold in any shop to a lady, it might be charged £l2 for. He knew nothing against her, and he believed that she found it. Police•constable Kennedy, 114 C, slid that he was sent for by Mr. Josephs, and the prisoner said she found the bracelet near her door. The prisoner said that on Friday morning she went out to get a pitcher of water and found the bracelet near the door. She showed it to her hus band, who said he would see if it was of any value. Her husband did so, and was told that it was not. Her children played with it, and last night, having no bread for her children to eat, she thought she could get a little on it, and took it to Mr. Josephs. Mr. Knox said he should discharge the prisoner, and if at the end of a short time the bracelet was not owned it would be given up to her. Inspector Morgan said he had had the bracelet tested by a chemist, and he said that it was not gold. Mr. Josephs asked the constable in the case whether the braelet was not tried in the inside? The constable said it was. Mr. Josephs said that that sort of bracelet, although supposed to be, was seldom made of gold. He hoped his worship did not consider him to blame in the matter. Mr. Knox said he certainly did not. He consi dered ➢ir. Josephs had acted very properly, but pawnbrokers were not to know whether such things offered them by pers)us were not stolen, and that if all pawnbrokers acted in a similar manner there would be fewer robberies. ➢lr. Knox kindly ordered the poor woman a trifle from the poor-box, to which Mr. Josephs added a small amount. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AT CREmonNE.--Agnes Clinton alias Thompson, one of the usual frequent frequenters of places of public entertainment, was charged with the following disgraceful conduct at Cremorne last night. Mr. Corbyn, manager of Cremorne, said that at 12 o'clock last night, on passing round the platform, he found four girls assembled and some confusion, and was informed that defendant had pulled another girl's hair down. Complainant said he would not allow that sort of thing, when the defendant turned round, and, in the vilest language, asked him what he bad to do with it, declaring in the most insolent terms that she would smash his faca in. She then kicked at him in the most dangerous way, but he was fortunately but little hurt. Defendant—l don't remember having kicked him. I might have done so. I can't say. 141 r. Selfe—Was she not drunk ? Defendant—Three glasses of wine wouldn't make me drunk. I was excited. Defendant's servant was called, and said she went out with her mistress last night because she was dull. She did not pull the other lady's hair down, and the manager took hold of her and pushed her back. She could not say whether her mistress kicked him. Policeman 100 S said defendant was most violen and bit him. Dennis, the gaoler, said she had been charged before. Mr. Selfe—Your conduct is most disgraceful and disgusting. I shall fine you 50s. for each assault ; in default you will be committed for a month. THAMES. A SAVAGE.—Mary Condon, who is better known in the district as the " Munster Tiger," was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk, dis orderly, and assaulting several persons in a savage manner. The prisoner entered the White Swan public house, in St. George-street, better known as Rat cliffe-highway. Yesterday morning, at half past eleven o'clock, she was very drunk and noisy and made use of very offensive language. She called for a glass of ale, which Mrs. Thompson, the bar woman, refused to supply her with, and requested her to leave the house. The prisoner re fused to do so, and took up a quart pot which she threw at Mrs. Thompson's head. The bar woman put up her right hand and arm, and received the blow on her wrist. The prisoner was about to re peat her violence, when Mr. William Jackson seized her and detained her while the potman went out in quest of a police-constable. In the absence of the policeman she made a violent assault on Mr. Jackson, and used very disgusting language and epithets. A police-constable named Joseph Soper, No. 45 KR, took the prisoner into custody, and she swore at him, declared she would murder him, and repeatedly struck him, and kicked him. While the charge was being preferred at the station house she struck the constable twice, and tried to bite him. Sergeant Smith, an old and experienced officer 47 K, said the prisoner was too drunk and too excited to be brought before Mr. Benson yesterday (Wednesday), and he retained her till this morning. She was the most savage and disorderly woman in the district, and had been repeatedly convicted for drunkenness, violence, and disorderly conduct. The prisoner, whose face was covered with old sores and bruises, which gave her a repulsive appearance, and whose voice was very husky from the effects of long and continuous dissipation, said the bar woman at the White Swan threw water over her. The bar woman solemnly denied that she had ever thrown any water over the prisoner. Sergeant Smith—This is the first time the pri soner has ever said anything about water being thrown over her. Mr. Paget said the bar woman had acted very properly in refusing drink to a violent, offensive, and drunken woman, but could not approve the con duct of the barman in detaining the prisoner, while the potman went in search of a police-constable. The barman was not a police officer. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment for the assault on Mrs. Thompson, and another month for the assault on the constable, the sentences to be consecutive, and hard labour with both. IiIARKE7 S-7 111 S DAY. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. There was a fair supply of stock to-day, and a more healthy one in the trade. Of beasts there were 1,020, all English fed. The de mand ruled better, and prices in many cases 2d per stone higher. Of sheep and lambs there were 13,650, and for both there is a good, steady inquiry, prices tending against buyers. 558 calves offered, and met a fair sale at full quotations. Pork unsettled in value. Twenty pigs on sale. Quotations—BA f, 3s 2d to 5s 4d ; mutton, 3s to 5s ; veal, 3s to be 4d ; pork, 3s to 4s 61; laTlib 5s to 5s Bd. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Sugar —The market is rather more active, at 31 to 61 under the rates of last week. For both floating and spot parcels there is a fair inquiry to thy. Coffee—The auction to-day comprises some fine Eas! India coffee, and good q mlities of other description, foi which there is a good demand at full prices. Tea —There is rather more iuqui , y for common congou, China growth, and the market is firmer. Cocoa. —Several small sales of flue qualities of colonial have been made at late rates. Rice—For all kinds of rice on the spot, and also foi floating parcels of soft grain, there is a fair demand. Saltpetre is steady in value, but a slow sale.

WESTMINSTER.—A meeting of the supporters of Captain Grosvenor and John Stuart Mill, Esq., residing in the parish of St. Martin's, was held last evening at the Grapes Tavern, Bow-street, John Blackman, Esq., in the chair. There was a numerous attendance. The following resolution, moved by Mr. James Bailey, of the Reform League, seconded by Mr. James Biss, was unanimously agreed to : " That this meeting pledges itself to use every con stitutional means in its power to return to the next Parliament the lion. Capt. Grosvenor and John Stuart Mill, Esq." It was also unanimously agreed to that. whilst the meeting recorded its hearty sup port to the latter gentleman, it viewed with regret his disinclination to support the ballot, The meet ing, which was characterised by the greatest una nimity, then separated. FINSBURY.-Mr. N. Phillips, of the Coal Ex - char.ge, has just issued an address to the electors of the borough of Finsbury. Baying on a former oc casion contested the borough, he says he must d.- cline being again a candidate for the suffrages of the electors unless they think fit to convene apublic meeting and resolve to support no candidate who employs paid agents or canvassers. lie goes on to say :—" When you remember the enormous sums spent on former elections by Messrs. Pe to and Challis, and that at the last election Mr. ',ask (who in Parliament is such a severe economist) paid the ex travagant sum of £6,143 11s. 11d. for expenses, certified by the returning officer (which means that he spent about £10,000), most of you will, I think, agree with me that, quite apart from all questions of politics, it is high time this profligate and disgrace ful course was checked, and that your candidates, whover they may be, should have a fair field and an equal contest." Mr. Phillips says he shares in the opinion of many shrewd men that the ensuing ge neral election will be the most costly ever known ; and observing how little the newly enfranchised have been consulted in the choice of candidates, he believes the new Parliament will disappoint the expectations of the people. lie concludes by stating that if he should remain outside St. Stephen's a few years longer he should content himself with the fact that he was in very good company, and in any case he should continue to support Mr. Gladstone most heartily. LAMBETH.—The district committees of Mr. M'Arthur comprise in the aggregate upwards of 2,000 electors. They hold almost daily sittings, and have _organised a system of canvassing all over the borough. The other candidates—Messrs. Hughes, Doulton, Lawrence, and Hartwell —are, to a great extent, resting upon their oars with re spect to canvassing. Mr. Alderman Lawrence wit commence attending a series of meetings next week, and in a fortnight Mr. M'Arthur will do likewise. DEVON (NORTH). —The Right Hon. Sir Stafford Northcote, Bart., Secretary of State for India, has just issued his address to the electors of North Devon. After alluding to the measures enacted dur ing the past session, he refers, in the following terms, to the Irish Church and Irish affairs gene rally:—" A question of the highest importance is likely to engage the attention of the now Parliament on its first assembling. It will be called on to de cide whether we shall maintain, or shall begin to subvert, the Established Church. Believing, as I do, that the maintenance of an Established Church is of inestimable value to the nation, I shall be prepared to support it. An attempt has been made to draw a distinction in this respect between the case of Ireland and those of England and Scotland, but I can see no reason for admitting it; and I am further of opinion that it is peculiarly undesirable to introduce into Ireland any measure tending to stir up ill-will between the different sections of her population, or to shake confidence in the security of corporate or other property. Ireland has a peculiar claim on England for justice and sympathy. The people of England are anxious to accord her both ; and the administration of the country has for many years—and pre-eminently of late years—been car ried on in this spirit. Much has been done, but much still remains to be done, not only to develope her material resources and to remove the hindrances to agricultural improvement, but to promote har mony and confidence in the country itself, and i❑ its relations with England and with the Govern ment of the United Kingdom. It would be much to be regretted that this important work should be interrupted by making Ireland the battle field of English party strife ; or that practical measures should be laid aside in favour of barren and irri tating religious controversy." ESSEX (SOUTEI).--A requisition is being signed inviting Mr. W. Strange-Mure to become a Con servative candidate for South Essex. It is under stood that Mr. Mure has consented to come forward on the receipt of the requisition. EXETER.—A meeting of about 2,000 electors took place on Tuesday evening. Mr. Frank Milford, banker, presided. Mr. Edgar Bowring, C. 8., the Liberal candidate, addressed the meeting, and was cordially received. A resolution was carried pledging to give him the hearty support of the Liberal party. The hon. gentleman expressed ad miration of Mr. Gladstone, of,whom he was a humble follower. He was strongly in favour of the dis establishment of the Irish Church, and also advo cated the ballot. NEWARK.-Mr Edward Denison, nephew of the Speaker, has issued an address to the electors of this borough as an independent candidate, still, how ever, agreeing with the Liberal leaders on the prin cipal topics of the day. NORFOLK (NORTH).—The Conservative candi dates, the Hon. F. Walpole and Sir E. Lacon, Bart., addressed the electors at Aylsham on Tues day. The chair was taken by Mr E. FeHowes, M.P. for Huntingdonshire. To-morrow (Friday) the candidates will attend a similar meeting at Reepham. _NOTTS (NORTll).—Nothing is with certainty known as to who will be the Conservative candi date to oppos..l the Speaker and Lord Clifton for this division. It is said, however, that one will be forthcoming at the proper time. Norrs (SOUTH).—The Liberals threaten an oppo sitiOn in this division if the Conservatives contest the north of the county. It was thought at one time that Mr. Barrow would retire through old age, but it is now said, but not with certainty known, that the hon gentleman will seek the suffrages of the electors in conjunction with Mr. T. B. T. Hild yard, the present member. Opposition here would be futile. NOTTINGHAM.—No other Liberal besides Mr. Ber nal Osborne has signified his intention of contest ing this borough. Mr. Chas. Seely was mentioned last week, but nothing further has been heard of that gentleman. A meeting of the Liberal party is to be held on the 30th instant, for the purpose of selecting a candidate, or candidates, as Mr. Osborne does not altogether suit his party in Nottingham. it is now said that two Conservatives will be brought forward. Mr. A. G. Marten is expected in the town shortly, and were that gentleman in duced to join Sir R. Clifton, a tough fight would be the consequence. STROUD—Mr. J. E Dorington, jun., the Conserva tive candidate for the representation of the borough, addressed a large meeting of the electors and non electors at the Subscription-rooms on Tuesday evening. The meeting was a somewhat " stormy" one, Mr. Dorington not being permitted to speak t dozen words without interruption. Mr. R. Potter, ate chairman of the Great Western Railway Com pany, presided. Mr. Dorington first set herself to correct a notion that was generally prevalent that while we owed everything to Liberal Governments, we owed nothing at all to the Conservatives ; and le proceeded to show that many beneficial mea ;tires had been carried by Conservatives when in office. He then proceeded to state his views upon come of the chief political questions of the day, tnd among the rest that he was most decidedly op psed to the disestablishment of the Irish Church. .vlr. Wadeson proposed, and Mr. George Holloway ieconded—" That this meeting having heard Mr. Dorington, begs to thank him for his address." The notion was unanimously carried. The Rev. E. Jacobs, an Independent minister, mounted the platform and proposed another resolution--" That al the opinion of this meeting the preeelit Govern- j went and their supporters, having resisted" every mode -ate men sure of Reform, and having gassed the ir spilt sweeping one for the sake of office, az e utterly unworthy of the support of the country. " A number of hands were held up for this resolutio a and a number against it, and the chairman declare d that the resolution was lost. TOWER HAMLETS.—Last night a crowded meei:;- ng of electors and non-electors of the borough •of the Tower Hamlets met at the Rose and Crown, Devon's-road, Bromley, near Bow Church, to hear from Mr. E. Beales an exposition of his political principles. This was the third of a series of meetings in the borough announced for the present. week. Mr. Beales addressed the assemblage at considerable length. Ile touched upon the leading political topics of the day, dwelling especially on the suggested dis establishment of the Iri,h Church, which he said was eszentill to the existence of a real unioa with Ireland, and to the pre: Tvation of the peace and safety of th) empire. lie spoke of the necessity of amendment of the present system and adminis tration of the Poor-law, including an equalisation of the burden of the poor -rate throughout the me tropolitan parishes. lie said that so much need was there for inquiry into the manner in which the rights and interests of the people in the common and forest lands had been injuriously affected that he should endeavour t) protect those rights and interests. Having referred to the necessity of re moving the difficulties thrown by the New Reform Act in the way of the fair and unfettered exercise of the household and lodger franchise, Mr. Beales concluded his speech amid loud cheers. A resolu tion pledging the meeting to support Mr. Beales was passed, and the proceedings closed. 17 ALY . A letter from Rome, dated August 6, says : The Holy Father repaired to the Capuchin Nun nery of the Santissimo Crocitisso on the 2d August, and there, after assisting at mass, which was celebrated on his arrival, made the prescribed visit to the Blessed Sacrament for the purpose of gaining the indulgence of the Porziuncula. His Holiness was most warmly cheered on passing through the city and on his return to the Vatican, and was looking remarkably well. Your naval readers will no doubt have been greatly amused by the recent incident at Ancona, where the salute of the English fleet was not re turned for the first of the four and twenty reasons alleged to Henri Quatre on a similar occasion, namely, that the fort possessed no cannon. Some of the entourage of the Pope suggested to him, the other day, that it would be an excellent joke to pre sent the city with a cannon bearing the Pontifical arms, with a supply of cartridges and a message to the effect that his Holiness was much grieved at the sorry figure Ancona cut among foreign nations, and begged to supply the wherewith for returning a salute on future occasions. The Pope laughed heartily, saying, " It would give us great pleasure were we not afraid that, as the present rulers of Italy are not well up in Latin, they might mistake a modus ludendi for a modus vivendi." Rome is rapidly becoming a vast camp, and General Dumont constantly inspects and advises the operations of engineering in a way which proves how deep an interest the French Government takes in their being carried out effectually. The camp of Hannibal is in full activity, and the new recruits are so numerous as to tax the clothing and arma ment resources to the utmost. The Infant of Spain, Don Sebastian, is at the barracks of Sacro Ristiro, near the Janiculum, and is a model Zouave ; first in all fatigue duties, and showing an example of activity, zeal, and camaraderie which has been attended with the best effects, and has proved that no covert political design induces him to engage as a private in the Papal army, but that, as he said himself on his first audience with Cardinal Auto nelli, the Pope had only a Catholic bayonet the m ore. The recruits who returned with M. De Charette are mainly Bretons and Dutchmen, and are a re markably fine body of men. Great vigilance is observed in the selection and admission of recruits, as the revolutionary party have spar'd no pains to introduce traitors among the Zouaves, but so far completely withuul, success. General Garibaldi has addressed . a letter to the four gentlemen of Bologna who feted his son Menotti on his marriage, and which is published by the Anzico dcl Popolo, of the 29th July : "My dear Friends,—l hoped much from the generous people of the Bth of August, to whom I am bound by love and gratitude. I have heard of your kindness to my son Menotti and his wife. " Like yourselves, this life of infamy weighs ou me to which a handful of scoundrels have reduced our poor country by bad government. If I had been seconded, and understood last year by Italians, you and I might have saved our miserable land from so many miseries and degradations ; but unhappily, along with the heroes who have strewed a hundred battlefields with their bones, without asking other reward thac to fight the enemies of Italy, there is always found a mass of canaille, of doctrinaires, who, the worst of traitors, under the pretext of principle and purism, abandon their companions on the day of peril. " Our people, however, without renouncing the cure of the body, should think of saving the soul, for what the devil does such a people want with liberty (sic in orig.) who prostrates itself every day before the priest—supporter of all tyranny—and the soldier, the most atrocious of the tyrants of Italy. I shall believe that our people wish for freedom when I see the shop of San Petronio turned into an asylum for the indigent, and when the bottle of San Gumaro shall be broken on the head of the necromancing buffoon. " However, I shall die very unhappy if, in the day when you fight for the liberty of Italy—and I hope that day is near—[ cannot at least follow you in the atnbulance.—Yours for life, " GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI." This is a pretty candid confession of two facts too precious and too cogent in their bearing on the past and present crisis not to deserve a passing remark. First, that the Garibaldian raid of 1867 was disa vowed and disapproved by men of principle and purity of conduct—in other words, by all who were not prepared to accept its monstrous excesses and its open negation of decency, religion, and humanity. Secondly, that liberty, as understood by Garibaldi, is not desired by the people, and that the masses are, as a whole, reactionary and Catholic. None here believes in the canard of the Nene Freie Presse, but as you will ere thisis printed have received the Emperor's speech on the 15th, it is use less at such a distance speculating on its truth. The King of Prussia, it is also said, on the other hand, intends visitingßome this autumn, as a coun ter-manifestation to the Von Beust policy, but all these reports fall into the region of gossip, and have not taken any tangible root. Cardinal Silvestri's mission is looked forward to with little confidence, as, although the Emperor and the Court are strongly in favour of a good entente between Rome and Vienna, the revolu tionary party are very strong and numerous, and M. Von Beust is known to be most unfavourable to a renewal of the Concordat. The Consistory will be held on the 17th of Sep tember, or a few days later, and you will already have seen that Mgrs.,De Merode, Talbot, Chigi, Raudi, and Ferrari are to be raised to the Purple ; the two latter are the Governors of Rome and the Minister of Finance; and Mgr. Chigi has dis charged the arduous duties of the Nuneiature of Paris for several years, and his appointment wilt be a very popular one among the Roman Patri ciate. Mgr. Talbot has been long destined to this high dignity, but has always requested it should be deferred as long as possible, as his elevation will necessitate his renouncing his devoted perso nal attendance on the Pope, by whom he is greatly and deservedly beloved. Mgr. De Merode's promotion was also one long decided on, and his elevation to the Sacred College will be greatly rejoiced in in Franne and Belgium. The promotion of foreign cardinals will be greater in the next conclave than it has ever been before, and will pro bably have great influence in the election of the next Pope. The Cardinal Archbishop of Naples has issued a pastoral to his clergy, ordering them t o prepare their flocks for the coming council, and to instruct them in its signification. He is almost reluced to poverty, as the Italian Government have never paid the revenue agreed on, and he gives his entire private fortune in charity, living like the poorest of his clergy. The King of Naples is a daily assistant at the reviews and manoeuvres at the camp of Rome di Papa ; but there appears no probability of the Pope leaving the Vatican this year for more than a day's visit to the camp. TIIE NEW ROAD STEAMER. (From the Scotsman.) On Saturday afternoon a very remarkable sight was seen in this cit 3. A train of heavily-laden coal waggons, looking ex letly Ike a luggage train, was observed coining steadily up the steep incline leading into Edinburgh from Dalkeith. It was one of Mr. R. W. 'l'homson's patent road steamers, with indiarubber wheel tires, having four huge loaded waggons in t )w. Each waggon weighed, when empty, 22 tons, and carried a load of 51 tons of coals, making the gross weight of the waggons 32 tons. The road steamer weighs 8 tons. Thus a total of 40 tons was set in motion. The road steamer had drawn the train from Newbattle Col lieries, eight miles from Edinburgh, over a very hilly road, with rising gradients of 1 in 16. The interest excited by this remarkable spectacle was so great that the crowd could not be kept back. A halt was therefore ordered, and application was made at the Central Police-office for the aid of a few constables to keep the over-curious from pushing each other into the way of the advancing train. A sergeant and six men were at once de spatched to the outskirts of the city, where the halt had been called, and progress was imme diately resumed. The hill from the Pow Burn up to Minto-street is both long and steep, but the road steamer drew its train to the top with the most perfect ease. It was very curious to watch the behaviour of the patent india rubber tires of the road steamer as they passed over the vazious de scriptions of road surface. In the outskirts of the city, where the roads are macadamised, there were many places where broken stones had just been spread on the surface. Over these sharp loose stones the indiarubber tires of the road steamer passed without crushing or in fact disturbing them in the least. The roughest and sharpest bed of broken stones sank gently into the elastic cushion of indiarubber, which rose from the contract with the most jagged fragments of stone without any trace or mark of injury. The perfect command which the conductors of the train had over its movements enabled them to control both its course and speed with the utmost precision. The line of streets through which it passed—namely, Minto street, Clerk-street, Nicolson-street, South-bridge, North-bridge, Princes-street, Leith-street, and Leith-walk, are always the most crowded streets in the city, but at the time the train passed through these thoroughfares there happened to be an unusually great current of traffic passing in a contrary direction towards the South-side Gymnasium, where some games were going on, which gave rise to a great stream of omnibuses, cabs, and conveyances of every description, in addi tion to a great crowd of pedestrians. Notwith standing all these obstacles, aggravated by the streets being at some points under repair and closed for one-half of their width, no difficulty was expe rienced in steering clear of every impediment. The crowd of spectators increased with such rapidity that by the time the train was passing the Univer sity thousands were trying to catch a glimpse of the novel sight, and when crossing the High-street the swarms of idlers who give such a busy aspect to that locality rushed in vast numbers to see how the train would descend the steep incline from the High street to the Bridge. This was done with as much ease and quietness as if there were no hill at all. The extremely curious way in which the whole four waggons follow, snake-like, in the track cf the road steamer was clearly seen in passing out of North bridge into Leith-street. First, the road steamer had to turn to the right, and before the last wag gon was round the corner tc the right, the road steamer had already turned sharp to the left to go into Leith-street—thus the train actually as mined the form of the letter S, every waggon going over the same ground as the roal steamer with the most perfect accuracy. The very steep and crooked descent of Leith-street, which has a gradient of probably 1 in 12, was managed with perfect ease, and the trai❑ pursued its way down Leith-walk, along Junction-street, and up Bon nington-road to the works of Messrs. T. Tennant and Co. (Limited), where it had to deliver the coals. In passing out of Junction street into Bonnington road there is a sharp acute angle, so that the train had actually to double back on itself ; however, it rounded the corner without the smallest difficulty. The final manceuvre was one which the conductors of the train did not expect to be able to accomplish without breaking it into two portions. It had to be taken out of the Bonnington-road, which is a narrow street of 30 feet in width, into a lane 25 ft. wide, which rises with a steep incline to the en trance-gate of Bowershall Works. It was deter mined to attempt this narrow entrance with the entire train of 90 feet long, and it passed in at the first trial, leaving so much space to spare that it was found, on afterwards measuring the wheel tracks, a width of 14 feet would have sufficed, though the breadth of the waggons is seven feet. The train curved in through the narrow entrance, mounting at the same time the steep incline lead ing up to the works, and drew up in the yard in perfect order. There can be no doubt this invention of the appli cation of vulcanized indiarubber to the tires of road steamers forms the greatest step which has ever been made in the use of steam on common roads. It completely removes the two fatal difficulties which have hitherto barred the way to the use of traction engines, viz., the mutual destruction of the traction engine and the roads. The indiarubber tires interposing a soft and elastic cushion between the two, effectually protect them both from every jar and jolt—in fact, as much so as if the engine were travelling over a tramway of indiarubber. The road steamer which drew the four waggons of coal from New Battle Colliery on Saturday was con structed to draw less than one-half of the weight comprised in the coal train. It was perhaps hardly fair to test it with more than the double of its legiti mate work, but it was deemed best to test it with great severity, and the great success of the trial has surpassed every expectation. It is, we believe, destined for Ceylon, for transporting coffee from the planations to the railway stations. A few days ago a preliminary trial was made with the Ceylon road steamer. With one heavy waggon in tow, it passed through a number of our steep streets, and as nothing seemed to come near its limits of climbing, it was headed towards Cock burn-street, and rolled quietly up that steep and crooked street, some parts of which have gradients about linBor 9. The French Government have instructed M. L6on Rascol, Ingenieur des Ponts et Chaussees, to examine and report on the working of Mr. Thomson's road steamer. One steamer is in course of construction for transporting coal over a hilly road, nine miles long, in Derbyshire. It will be necessary to substitute coke instead of coal, the smoke from which is offensive when the road steamers are passing throng h towns. THE HARVEST IN THE EAST.—The harvest is pretty well concluded in Essex. What is to bs done for cattle feed in the county is a subject of grave discussion. The young clovers are burnt up, and the mangolds, which had hitherto looked well, are seriously damaged from want of moisture. Store cattle are tolerably healthy, but where they have not been fed upon oilcake and winter food they begin to show signs of declining condition. On Tuesday night and early yesterlay morning there were some heavy showers in some parts of the Eastern Counties, and the drought may now be considered at an end. The English Ambassador signed the protocol at Constantinople last Saturday, by which Englishmen will be authorized to hold landed property in Turkey. The Austrian ambassador has adopted a similar course, but the representatives of Russia, Italy, and the United States still refuse to concur.

St. Albans Kingsbury 8 I - 26 ACCIDEN7S A 7 THE SEASIDE.-HOW 70 RESTORE TO LIFE THE DRO WAVED. _ TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—The frequent occurrence of accidents 'by drowning at the seaside, which at present nearl f all prove fatal, has given rise to much speculation as to the best time for bathing, whether after or before meals, &c., but it is curious how backward all attempts have proved in resuscitating those bodies rescued from the water. This is mainly due to the fact that the apparently dead body so rescued falls into the hands of ignorant, innocent boatmen, or is surrounded by a crowd of persons, frightened, alarmed, and knocked off their balance in the event. Another grave popular error prevails that it is of no practical use to be in a hurry about an appa. rently dead boiy that has been in the water more than four minutes. Yet in this matter science has been advancing for the last three or four years, though brilliant leading articles and humane societies seem not to be aware of it ; and there is nothing to prevent a thorough recovery of such patient (if we are to believe many extraordinary cases treated in America and elsewhere) even after the body has been one full hour in the water. The mode of treating such cases requires no little medical skill, but the chief remedy is a form of electricity bequeathed to us by Mr. Faraday, applied so as to set up artificial respinstion, applied accurately to the phreuic nerves as they pass along the neck. Electricity, as usually applied in such cases to the heart, according to the stereotyped rules of societies, only kills the patient more effec tually.—l am, &c., CHARLES KIDD, M.D. Sackville-street, Aug. 13. P.S.—Medical science, or art, advances in this and many other directions, though it has become a sort of creed with a rising school " of the period" that it stands still, and nothing can be done till medicine has become as certain and inductive as the multiplication table ; this inductive reasoning always going back to one law that appears so attractive. Yet this one law, or one remedy, ends universally in quackery. All our common place advances in the cure of the sick or dying are met with ridicule at first. Vac cination, mesmerism, llarvey's idea of the cir culation, ovariotomy, even chloroform were all met at first by bitter opposition and ridicule. Yet, to mention the last two, chloroform and ovariotomy, are now as well established blessings and facts as any in the world. Wu cure, too, now by rule of thumb nearly all skin diseases, and nearly all cases of epilepsy. We delay the ravages of con sumption by cod liver oil, &c. ; but we should postpone far into the period of the Greek Ealends all such cures, or even these late attempts to resus citate the drowned, if we waited for our societies and their jealousies, or the tortoise-like movements of the amateurs (never practical men), who expect induction to do everything, though I.nrd Bacon himself says medicine is the least inductive of all the sciences.

A LILLIPUTIAN YACHT RACE.—An exciting yacht race between Lilliputian craft took place in a timber pond at Bootle, near Liverpool, on Monday. The largest vessel was 50 inches long, and the prizes were a timepiece, a mirror, and a poncil case. The second match was between yachts, 54 inches long, the fleetest of which won a silver tankard for her owner. Li the other matches, vessels 48, 42, and 36 iacties ling contested. There was a gentle northerly breeze, which, however, was sufficient to cause some swift sailing. The regatta was under the auspices of the Model Yacht Club. _ _ _ The bulb growers of Holland have intimated their intention of offering prizes, open to all growers, for distinct kinds of hyacinths, at the first spring or hyacinth show of the Royal Horticultural Society, in 1869.
