VACCINATION ON THE SOUTH
AFRICAN COAST.

-
Mr. R. A. Philips, of Temple-chambers, Manchester, has
received a letter from his son, dated Cabenda, January SO, In
which the writer says
• • .

.....
The small-pox has been terrible here. This morn-
ing I saw a man who had just lost his eldest son,
the twenty-second of his family who had died
of small-pox within the twelve months. We had
some vaccine lymph sent out from which our
Krootboya were vaccinated. I marched five of them
into the toc--., and vaccinated from them nearly
200 natives. Only six failed to take; of those,
four had the small-pox, and two died; of the success-
fully vaccinated not one had the sruall-pox. Now, let
the anti-vaccination leaguers say what they will, here
is a positive proef of the good results of vaccination,
for the natives have been dying right and left. I once
walked eight Miles, and was never nut of hearing of the
crying for the dead. I should like this known—nay
published, and then let those who will try with paltry
arguments to show that vaccination is a delusion and S.
worthless process.

THE OLDEST LAWSUIT.

A venerable lawsuit is approaching the end of its
241st year without being apparently any nearer to
settlement than when it began. A boundary ques-
tion between the States of Virginia and Maryland,
relating to the riparian rights of the Potomac, to
fifty square miles of land, and to :PO square miles of
valuable oyster-beds, was originally I rought before
the King's Privy Council in 1633, Lord Baltimore, to
whom Maryland had just been granted, being one of
the parties. The Privy Council having shelved the
matter by leaving it to the course of law, the contro-
versy became in time complicated and embittered by
quarrels, and sometimes battles, between the Cava-
liers and Roman Catholics of Maryland on the one
side, and the adherents of the Commonwealth on
the other. Partial adjustments of boundary were
made in 1666 and 1668, but the main question ex-
tended from generation to generation, giving rise to
a multitude of conflicting cases, until fresh legisla-
tive attempts at a settlement were made in 1858 and in
I 1860. These, however, were also but partial, and a
I commission, appointed in 1872 to make a final ad-
justment, had after much research and argument, to
abandon the task as hopeless, and to leave the
matter just as it stood in 1633. Aged witnesses were
I heard who had been " ducked "or whipped "in their
boyhood to make them remember disputed bounds,
I deeds were examined that had been recorded in both
States, and taxpayers who had paid taxes in both or
neither. A proposal has just been made on the part
of Maryland to refer the whole dispute to a single
arbitrator, or else to a new joint commission. It is
stated, howeyer. that neither proposal will be accepted
by Virginia, so that this venerable dispute is not likely
to come to a speedy end.

MR. ARCH'S MISSION TO CANADA.

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM ONTARIO.

The National Agricultural Labourers' Union at
Leamington have received an official document from
the Government of Ontai io, respecting the scheme of
emigration arranged during the visit of President Arch
to Canada. The communication arrives most oppor-
tunely, as the lock-out of labourers throughout the
Eastern Counties will give an impetus to emigration.
Colonel Denison, the late Commissioner for the Govern-
ment in England, states that the response to circulars,
asking farmers to return what labourers they rapire,
what wageg they would give, and what cottage accommo-
dationthey could provide, has been exceedingly limited,
not because miners donut require labourer., but from the
novelty of the scheme, and its notteing fully under.

THE GIRLS' SCHOOL IN THE
KITCHEN. _

"A Cambridgeshire -V-ioar,'writing to The Timet,
truly remarks that " the art of cookery, under the
auspices of Mr. Buckmaster, is now assuming the
place which it ought to hold among the accomplish-
ments of English Ladies,' It is indeed, satisfactory
to see the agitation for Women's Rights accompanied
by a movement in the cultivation of their duties. Lit
the accomplishment of cooking be as generally studied
by girls as that of music is, and the results of learning
the one will, probably prove in general a good deal
more satisfactory than we find those of instruction in
the other. The majority of our wives and daughters
will be enabled to dress a dinner as well as they can
dress themselves, and perhaps better than they dress
their hair ; and there will no longer be room for the
unkind, if not altogether uncalled-for remark, that
there are not many bread-winners whose wives are
able to make bread-sauce. —Pu ach.

THE JEWS AND CREMATION.

The Jewish Chronielc says that at a recent meeting of
the council representing the Jewish congregations of
Berlin, a motion was brought forward to the effect
that immediate steps should be taken to make arrange-
ments for the Leichenverbrennung (burning of bodies)
in one of the Jewish cemeteries in the city. The
motion was adopted by a large majority. Some of our
German contemporaries, fall into an error in suppos-
ing cremation to be opposed to Jewish doctrines.
Among our Sephardic brethren of Gibraltar and
North Africa the burial of bodies in quicklime (a
rapid mode of cremation) is a common practice. Such
a mode of sepulture has been performed more than
once, and even recently, at the Spanish and Portuguese
cemetery at Mile-end- and no one can doubt the con-
servative orthodoxy of our co-religionists of the Medi-
terranean shores. Indeed cremation of the dead is not
unknown among the German Jews of London.

ARRIVAL OF THE REMAINS OF
DR. LIVINGSTONE.

After a very boisterous vow the Maim, bring-
ing the remains of Dr. Livingstone, arrived at
Southampton on Wednesday morning. The vessel was
signalled off Hurst Castle at six o'clock. As coon as
Sir William Hall received this communication, the
Funeral Committee were apprised of the fact, and by
ten minutes past seven o'clock the steam tender of the
Peninsular and Oriental Company, with the
Receptio al Committee on hoard, was on her way
to srtley, where the Mal Ica was brought up,
and the committee boarded her.

The first person seen WM Jacob Wainwright, the faith-
ful attendant of Or. Livingstone. The youth is not more
than five feet in height and wears close woolly hair;
his nose is almost flat, and his protruding lips are much
swollen in consequence of an accident that occurred to
him on board. He recognized Mr. Stanley at once,
and taking off his cap saluted that gentleman, and
then grasped him warmly by the hand. He speaks
very good English, and appeared in good health. He
was questioned very closely by Mr. Stanley, to whom
he gave a remarkably interesting account of Living.
stone's journey and death, and the subsequent journey
to the coast. Dr. Price, who educated Jacob in
Bombay, met and recognized him on board. Mr.
Thomas Livingstone was on board, having come from
Egypt, and joined the ship at Aden. The coffin con-
taining the body of the great traveller lay in the mail-
room covered with the flag of the ship's company,
while Lascars stood around holding the Union jack.
The rosin was perfectly dark, and the coffin was
shown by the aid of a lamp. Scented cedarwood is
the material of which the coffin is composed.
One of Jacob Wainwright's statements in reference
to the Livingstone expedition is that ten of the boys
and soldiers sent by Stanley to Dr. Livingstone died.
There were two donkeys for the use of the doctor, one
of which died, but the one en which Livingstone rode
up to the time of his death was, shortly after that
event, killed by a lion. Jacob further states that the
party had to fight their way through the Bias country,
as the chief objected to the coffin being carried through
his country. In the fight several of the natives oppos-
ing them were killed.

The coffin was transferred (rem the Malwa in the
dock, and placed on board another steamer. As it
was hoisted up, enshrouded by the Union Jack, every
one on board uncovered. The steamer, with the coffin,
left the docks at ten, and proceeded to the Royal
Pier, alongside of which she lay for some time, till
the arrangements for the procession were completed
on shore.

Shortly before the body was landed, Mrs. Phillips,
of Bugle Hall, escorted by Admiral Hall, went on
board the steamer, and placed a magnificent wreath
of immortellea on the coffin.
The coffin was brought on shore on the shoulders of
six coon, who were followed by gentlemen immediately
in tho Mowing order :—Oswald Livingstone. Dr.
Moffatt, Thomas Livingstone, Messrs._ ,Webb Young,
Rev. Horace Waller, Colonel Grant, General Rigby,

THE CHURCH AND THE LONDON

SEASON.

The first of the second series of sermons on " The
Use and Abuse of the World" was preached on Sun-
day afternoon at St. James's, Piccadilly, London by
the Rev. H. W. Burrows, from i Tim. iv., 4, 5. The
subject was the London season.
The preacher justified its eftistence, accounted for
its origin, and showed the advantage, in the way of
culture and education, which visitors from the countor
may derive from the civilization of the capital. He
next dwelt on the notorious evils which have made the
London season a byword—its extravagance, round of
dissipation, and its matrimonial market. He sketched
the course that should be taken by au ideal Christian
launched on the novelties and pleasures of the
metropolis ; pointed out that nowadays not only
fashion and high life lay claim to the London season,
but that scientific, philanthropic, and religious societies
turn the time to account by bringing themselves before
the public, lie dwelt on the instruction which visitors
may carry back from town and reproduce in the pro-
vinces for the benefit of their poorer neighbours; on
the openings for benevolent action provided by asso-
ciations (like the Parochial Mission Women Associa-
tion) which try to employ the leisure and wealth of the
West-end in ameliorating the condition of the east and
south of London, and incited to labours in hospitals,
workhouses, and other charitable institutions. He
concluded with urging the making of some rules about
private prayer, reading Scripture, and observing Sun-
days and other holy days as a preservative amid the
bustle and excitement of the London season.

PROVISION.

LONLON, Monday, Apri-I-1-3,like -swivels lad week from
Ireland were 48 firkins butter and 3,524 bales bacon, and
from foreign porta 31,723 packages butter, and 1,22 bales
and 601 boxes bacon. The supplies of foreign butter increase
but slowly, and are scarcely sufficient for the demand, con-
sequently prices are well supported. The demand for bacon
has been good, and prices are the turn dearer, best Water-
ford in much request.

THE TICHBORNE PROSECUTION.

At Judges' Chambers, on Monday, before Mr. Jus-
tice Lush, an appbeati,li was made on behalf of the
late Claimant to the Tichborne estates. Mr. Macrnahon
(instructed by Mr. Harcourt) appeared for the defend-
ant; and Mr. Bowen (instructed by Mr. Pollard, of
the Treasury) appeared for the Crown.

Mr. Macmalion said he had to apply to his lordship
for an order on the prosecution to produce the roll of
all the proceedings in the late trial, "Regina r.
Castro," including the judgment. He need not state
that in the proceedings which were contemplated before
the full Court of Queen's Bench, it would be highly
desirable, in the interests of the defendant, to have a
full record, especially of the sentence passed by Mr.
Justice 'Hellor, in the hands of the defendant's counsel.
In the first place, those who acted for the defendant
wished to take office copies of the roll, to be sub-
mitted to counsel who were instructed in the con-
templated motion for a new trial and arrest of judg-
ment.

Mr Justice Lush: A new trial?
Mr. MaeMahon : A new trial and arrest of jndi-
ment. Our object is to have the documents on which
it is proposed to take action.
Mr. Justice Lush: Oh, I see.

Mr. Bowen said be was instructed to oppose the
motion. There was no precedent that he was aware of
for a new trial in a criminal case. He should simply
content himself with opposing the most unusual ap-
plication he ever heard of.
Mr. Justice Lush said the time had not come for a
writ of error, but when it did come it would be neces-
sary to transfer the proceedings to another court.
Then upon application in due course the order would
be made. At present, however, a different state of
things existed. As he understood, notice had been
given of another application, therefore now there was
no necessity for this application, inasmuch as any ap-
plication for a new trial must be made in open court,
when the proceedings would be public. He must
therefore decline to grant the present application.
The proceedings, which only occupied a few minutes,
then terminated.

THE FIJI ISLANDS.

Mr. WArthur asked the Under Secretary of State for the
Colonies whether the attention of the Got eminent had been
called to a statenftut in the newspapers that the
sovereignty t,f the Fiji Islands has been formerly ceded by
king Thokainban to the British crown, and that Mr.
Layard, the British Consul has accepted the cession, subject
to the ratification of the Home Government " and whether
her Majesty's Government have received any information on
this subject.
Mr. Bourke said no official information had been received
of the report that the Fiji Islands had been formally con-
ceded to the Crown.
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1874-04-18

LOCAL TAXATION.

Mr. Rathbone gave notice that on an early day he would
call attention to the necessity for dealing in a comprehensive
manner with any scheme for the reduction of local taxation
that might be submitted to the House.

THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT.

In reply to Mr. P. Jenkins, Mr. Lowther said the advice
given by the law officers of the Crown respecting the bill
passed last year by the Canadian Parliament to empower
committees of the Dominion House of Commons to examine
witnesses on oath was considered to be entirely correct.

the territory of the Transvaal Republic of South Africa,
writes (to The Tiara) to say that he had just returned
from the Leydenberg golchelds, bringing with him as
testimony of their value some dust and the 18oz nugget
now in London. He adds that the difference in the
character of the country which burrounds the diamond
fields end that which Is found in the vicinity of the
goldfields is most remarkably in favour of the latter.
He was himself able to count no less than 20 waterfalls,
some of considerable magnitude, within a limited area,
while vegetation war luxuriant and the climate
excellent A bout 800 persons were already working
on the spot eta profit, with only very simple and rude

as to the tuosti,erviceable kind of hose and to
order a suitable quantity for use. This has
been done, and your Committee report, that
Acting ho this opinion of the officers of the Fire
Office, and also the Captain of the Birmingham
Fire Brigade, they ordered 200 feet of the best
canvass hose to fit the present joints, in four
lengths of 50 feet each.

Du. BALLARD'S REPORT.

The Clerk read is very long report, received
for the General Purposes Committee, with re-
ference to Dr. Ballard's repeat received August
25th, upon the sanitary condition of the town.
Tile Committee had evidently gone very care-
fully through the various items of that report.
which drew attention to the death rate for 1872,
the year of the soiall-pox visitation, which they
considered proved unmistakeably the general
healthiness of the town, and considered the
death rate wou:d compare favourably with any
any other town.
On the motion of Mr. Hughes, seconded by
Mr. Edwards, the Clerk was directed to send a
copy of the report to Dr. Ballard.
Mr. Hughes said he had gone through the re-
port read, and had given some attention to it,
sod lie mind say that the credit was due to their
respected Clerk for the very elaborate and able
way in which it had been drown op. It had
taken a good deal of time, sad the Clerk had
gone to a great deal of tronble, and he considered
the report was a complete answer to Dr. BA.
Lird.
There was no other business.
