WHAT'S THE USE OF AN ANALYST?

All Courts of Quarter Seindoess, Town Councils, and
such local authorities are being exercised by the
Government just now about appointing a new officer,
entailing the laying of mu. salary-burdens on local
funds, to say nothing of extra business in magistrates'
courts, and the usual costs, • per-oentage of which is
sure to fall on the unlucky ratepayers. Still, if we
are to get purer food and drugs,
_perhaps the invest-
ment may be worth the outlay. But what can be the
meaning of the following announcement?

"Tbe-Lord Chancellor -has, on the recommendation of
the Lord•Lleatireant (Lod Attalteaboryk quiet' the name
of Eiir Oh who Witetbant. the Lord Mayor of Zemke. to
be inserted in lb. Oomoilosioek of tin Pros tar tie County
of Monet."

Our readers may remember the London-elevated
f_tridport man, principally in connection with dir
aries's extmeonservative action about Charity
funds but, apropos of this question of potre food, the
Lord Mayor has further distinguished himself.

per cent of piaster of ftris is • marketable mile.) within
the cognisance of British law. A short time ago Dr.
Saunders, the Med cal °Moor of Health for the City,
applied to his Lordship for an order to condemn seventy
nine sacks of "perilous stuff " containing this percentage
of the plastic ingredient, which bad been shinped to one
of the Thames wharves. The Lord Mayor, however,
refused to sanction its immediate conflecation and
destruction, and when the Medical Officer ventured to
remonstrate with his Lordship for delivering so extra'
ordinar a judgment he warn informed, with an air of
judicial magnifloence, that "the case was decided." But
Dr Saunders very properly considered that it was by no
means decided, and accordingly, at Tueeday's mooting of
the City Commissioners of Sewenchallanged the validity
at his Lordship's remarhablel udgment In order to convince
the Commissioners of the acruracy of his analysis of the

SAFETY OF THE WILD WAYB.3 CREW.
It appears that while the scene of confusion wee
going on, and while Captain Grant was pinned in
between the broken span of Ms own ship, the mote
and two of the Crew managed to get on b asrd the
colliding vessel; tbe boy got jammed between the
two vessels, and fell into the water am stated in our
first report, hut the mate threw down some ropes
amid the foaming surge, and mu:reeled. amid the
grim darkness, in getting the boss feet entangled in
them just as he was shout to oink for tho last time,
and so hauled him on board. They then found they
were on board the John and Ann, of Itiga—a &video
brig in ballast, on her way to the Baltic. The vessel
steered towards the Isle of Wight, and when juot off
the coast the mato of the Will Wave signalled to go
ashore, when a boat was pot out and an Hoglialt pilot
came on board. The result was that the John and
Ann was brought back to Portland Roads, where she
I. detained, and the crew of the Wild Wave transferred
to theif own vessel on Sunday night to the great joy
of all, as they never expected to we captain Or ship
again. Fhe boy ia pretty well recovered, and able to
run about Chstletown. _ . _

The Atomism is now in Weymouth Harbour, with
H.M. officers in charge, and we hear she has also had
a writ Reeved, detaining the Wild Wave.
