strenuously urged the Conference, does not like to
show her want of confidence by making the necessary
additions to her military strength. In the meantime
Russia is arming to the teeth and preparing for a
sudden advance, which will bring her to Constanti-
nople before a sufficient English army can be mobolised
and despatched to the Bosphorous. Reports of extra-
ordinary Turkish armaments are circulated which are
entirely devoid of truth. But they answer their
purpose, for they lead to the belief in this country that
there is no immediate danger for the Turkish capital,
and that England will always be able to interfere in
time to prevent its occupation.
If we take the available Turkish armies in Europe
next January at 180,000 men we shall be beyond the
mark. Let us consoler what forces will be arrayed
against them. Montenegro may be estimated at
20,000. Servia still has 60,000 men under arm).
Roumania has called out 60,000. Rtladiao is mobilising
and concentrating in Bessarabia six corps and a large
contingent of cavalry, or in all a highly-trained army
of 250,000 men.
Thus Turkey will have to meet a force of 390,000
men in Europe alone, halides having to watch Greece.
In January the Danube will be frozen over, and the
Russian army will be able to cross on the ice at any
Point. The Russian generals are not likely to repeat
the mistakes of 1828 and 1854 by wasting time in
investing the Danube fortresses. They will easily
disperse the small Turkish forme that can oppose
them. The Balkan parses are law than 100 miles
distant, and form but a weak line of defence. No
obsticle will avail to impede a rapid advance on
Constantinople, Will the Emperor then remember
hie promises and stay his hand when the great prize
lies within his creep? What says Prince Gortacha.keff
In his letter to Count Schouvaloff ? "How often have
the Russian emperors publicly repeated that no
territorial annexation enters into their policy l" Yes,
how often? Yet in the last forty years alone Russia
has annexed upwards of 700,000 square miles of
conquered territory. So much for Russian facts, so
much for the promises of her rulers !
The time has come when England must ask for
deeds, not words, and when she must prepare to guard
her own interests in case of necessity. Let her not be
led away by Russian partisans, who seek to blind her
with the ,ilcl worn-out cry that England will not fight
for the Turks. It is not in Turkish interest that we
shall endeavour:to prevent Constantinople from falling
Into Muscovite hands. It is because it would prove a
mortal blow to that great Empire which our fore-
fathers built up for us, and which it is our duty to
vend. On this point at least all true Englishmen are
united.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF AN INFANT
FROM SUFFOCATION.
The household of Mr. J. D. Robinson, physician
and surgeon, of South-street, was thrown into a state
of intense grief and excitement on Friday morning
through the infant son of that gentleman having been
discovered dead by the side of the servant in
the latter's bed. The little fellow was about
eight months 011, and a healthy, strong grown
child. The circumstances briefly seemed to be that
the servant took the child from his mother about
midnight and carried him to her own room, Mrs.
Robinson being in a delicate state of health. The girl
fed the child and laid him in the basinette, but as he
was yen, restless took him out and put him in her
own bed, when he went off to sleep, as did also the
servant. No more is seen or heard of the child until
the servant is aroused next mornin; by feeling the
child's head under her left side, when, to her horror,
she found that he was very cold, and lifeless. She
itum.diately aroused Mr. and Mrs. Robinson who
used every Wens to restore animation, but without
SUWON.
An inqueat was held on Friday morning at Mr.
Robinson's residenee before Mr. G. Symonds, coroner,
and the following jury —Mr. J. R. Taylor (foreman),
Mr. J. Warren, Mr. J. Miles, Mr. W. H. Crocker,
Mr. B. A. Hogg, Mr. J. Dean, Mr. G. K. Loader,
Mr. C. Parsons, Mr. C. Carter, Mr. J. Harris, Mr.
Jame; Payne, and Or. J. Robinson.
Dr. Robinson said that the deceased was named
Lawrence William, and was a healthy child. With
the exception of two or three occasions he had always
slept with witness and Mrs. Robinson, but the latter
being in delicate health the child was placed in charge
of the servant last night about 12 o'clock, having gone
to bed in the first instance with them in the ordinary
way. The child was then (12 o'clock) perfe*y well,
and the next they heard of him was whedlthe girl
called her miatress about half 'past six, but befoie the
latter could get up to the former the servant brought
the child downstairs, and said ",be wax afraid it was
dead," on account of it. being so cold. He took the
child, felt certain h.: was dead, and ran downstairs for
his galvanic apparatus, and hot water waa procured
as ,ssom as possible. He also resorted to artificial
respiration, but all to no effect. This was continued
WM Mr, Imasou arrived shout eight o'clock. lie saw
that the ctild had died from suffocation, and should
say he had been dead some .:onsi.Lrabie time— probably
over a hour.
Julia Greening, the servant, who gave ties addence
very intelligently, and said her age was 21, had been ts
months in Dr. Robinson's employ, She fetched the
child about 12 o'clock at night, her mistress having
called her, to take him for the remainder of the night.
She took him to her bedroom, as she slept alone. The
child was a little cross when she took him, but she
gave him his fo.sl and both of them then went to
eteek. e slent at her left able and she put her right
arm mirolmnd 51e. t. neevent his falling out of bed.
When she awoke in' the L. Imirg she found him un ler

head under her arm, and lilted him up She then saw
that his nose was nearly flattened. He felt heavy
when she lifted him um., and this led her to listen to
Lear if she could notice his breathing. As she could
hot b Nins breathe she took him immediately, with-
out stopping 4.1.• dress, to her mistress, calling to her
when im the stairs. When she got to her room she
said "I think the baby Is dead." Her master and
mistress immediately saw to him. Witness had only
had the child two 4,r three times before to sleek with
her—those occasions being when Mrs Robinson was
unwell.
By iLe Jury : She took the child from the basinette
in Dr. Robinson's room and carried both to her bed-

had done this once before.

Death was no doubt caused by suffocation, the appear-

had heard from the servant and Dr. Robinson. It
was a fine well-nourished child, with no sign of disease
or injury about the body, and but for this accident
would have been living then. The remedies resorted
to by Dr. Robinson were the proper and only ones in

were all very good men, and he had pleasure in giving
them the toast. (It was drunk most cordially.)
Mr. A. Enson said he had been asked to pmpose
the next toast, that of "The County Members."
This county had been very fortunate in its reere-
sentatives ; they were gentlemen .4 whom they
might well be proud. and .4 whom they might expect
great things. Mr. John Floyer was a th.eough good
man both in and out .4 House. Of Mr. Pentium
they did not bear quite a. nue li, hut the three
members were well blended t• gether, whetlear they
were liberals or Conservatives. As to Captain Digby
he was a young man, and perhaqmhe would improve -
not that he (Mr. Hinson) would insinuate that there
was much room for improvement —(applause)-- hut
as men grew older they generally got better—or ought
to get letter. (Laug)mter and applause.) Ile gave
them the toast with very great pleaeure.

The CHAIRMAN gave "The Health of our Borough
Member, Mr. Brymer." lie was sorry he was not
present with them. 1k was ago .1 inan and a kind
neighbour, and be believed he represented the feelings
of the homugh in the House, and hoped he would
represent them for many yearn. (Applan.e.)
The VICE-f 'HAIR?! tN wished the next toast had
fallen into other bomb.. It was that of " The Mayor,
Aldermen, awl Councillors of this It .rough." It woe
a very important toast, and one they would all
cordially receive. They had been ruled for many
years by a Mayor and Councillor., and he hoped they
would be for many years to come, and that every one
would feel bound to sumort them. In Mr. Lock
, they had a good mayor a gentleman of whom they
were proud, and in whose hands they felt safe. The
Town Couccillors were gentlemen who he felt were
anxious to do their best for the town. There was a
great deal of hard work and anxiety falling on their
shoulders which they could not estimate. (Applause.
The Nitwit returned thanks for himself and
brother Councillors. He felt sure from the warm
reception given to the toast that they approved of the
choice of the Council in electing him as Mayor. lie
thought, too, they also approved of the Council.
Referring to his apiointment as Mayor, Mr. Lock said
that ln yearn ago when elected he entered upon the office
very differently, as he wax Own a younger man. and
ethal.. a little ambitious --(laughter)—but now he
Ii el grown older, and the duties were heavier. They
(the Council) had some very important works on
hand—imprwencente were being carried oat at the
water works, and when done he hoped that the
present rate would be reduced. (Applause.) They
were repairing the engine, and whilst that Was pro.
ceeding he hoped that every inhabitant would be as
careful as possible over the water, as they were
unable to pump to large a quantity for a ehort time.
As to the fair field he was mire that when it was
completed they woeld be able to hand over to the
agriculturiats a fair and market ground equal to any
in the west of England. (Amdanee.) On the Ist of
January next an important duty would devolve on
the Council, that a seeing that the Compulsory
Education Act warn carried out in the borough, under
which every child was to be sent to school up to a
certain age. It was important that every child
should have a good education, and as alterations were
to be male he hoped that the educational endowments
of the borough would be thoroughly looked into, and
that they would be able to have a thorough good
school for 'ldle class education in the town. (Hear,

he coal not dome without thanking the ex-Mayor

Mr. H. Duet returned thanks on behalfs4 himself
and the other agriculturiets attending the Dorchester
markets. They felt very ranch pleasure in meeting
them that evening. They were as one broths:awed,
and they (the andeulturists) felt very much indebted
to the Town Council for the accommodation provided
them. Thirty years ago he remembered they had to
stand in the street, after that they removed into the
market-house, and nOW they had one of the best Corn
Exchanges in the West of England. Mr. Duke com-
mented on the arrangement of the new fair field, and

country into war, and change our rulers, 0 Clod,
as.', 'la as pothible."

The Coroner in summing up aaid the circumstances
were very simple. The child was found by the young
woman lying at her aide, and to all appearances olead.
There was the evidence .of Dr. Robinson detailing the
UW:LIDI used to prmuote respiration, and Mr. MUMS*
had NMI those means were the proper ones. There
was not, he thought, any culpable neglect or suspicion
on the y g woman, it was, 'wrings., a breach .4
instructions by taking the child into her ; but
there was no doubt she did what ~he thought, in her
judgment, WAS the best. The cause of death was, of
course, imaginary ; but the child was found dead, and
they hail no doubt hy what means it met its death.
He thought the safe course would he to return a
verdict of " Found dead without any marks of
violence." Addressing the young woman, the I 7onoter
said he did not wish to reflect on her in the slightest
degree—it was purely accidental—but however wise
she might consider it on another occasion it would be
best to awry out her instructions, and not to take a
child in the bed if told to put it to sleep in a basinette.
However there Was no doubt she had done what she
considered best under the circumstances, and the poor
girl, who seemed to feel the sad occurrence very
acutely, said she thought the baby would sleep better
with her—in fact she did not know which went to sleep
first, she or the baby.
The Jury concurred in the Coroner's remarks, and
returned a verdict accordingly, all feeling deep
sympathy with Dr. and Mrs. Robitusm, in their almost
overwhelming bereavement.
