CONVISTION OF MIL WILADFIOII.—Tbe Marta
of the Rolla ham lamed a summona, calling for an ex- '
planation of the circumstances under which counsel
corapromieed the action of the Joint Stook Discount
Company against Mum. Capper and Imwson. It appears
that the issue I the action really raised tho question as
to the justice of the conviction of Mr. Junes Fueling
Wilkinson eighteen months ago. On the Wee being
compromised Mr. Wilkinson was liberated, to the
surprise of the official liquidatoni solicitors, who had
conducted the prosecution. As the action was oom•
minced under the suction of the Muter of the Rolls,
and had been compromised without his consent, kis
lordship granted the application for the summons.
There is than a prospect that the " miatake" which
resulted in Mr. Wilkinson's conviction will be explained.
THI Paincgas or Wuxi'. -The happy end healthy
course of the arieouchement of Her Royal Highness the
Princess of Wales Is a source of unalloyed satidaction.
Her Royal Highness was driving out on Sunday, and at
4.25 a.m. on Monday her new little princess name into
the world • Dr. Arthur Parrs and Dr. &evoking being
in attandanee. Happily nothing, either in the ariconebe-
mint or the convalrocence, he, occurred to recall the
unfortunate illness which marred the recovery of the
royal patient on the lust occasion. Nor ham it any way I
influenced unfavourably the present event. Everything
haa passed off auspiciously, and the medical record is a
prosperous blank. The little princess is • fine healthy
and thriving infant. In three days the daily bulletins
will, in the regular course, be discontinued—always •
good sign. —British Medical Journal.- The Lciatet
sap : Nothing could have been more favourable than
the acconehement of her Royal nightlong the Princess
of Wales. It is satisfactory to know that the event
coincided more nearly with the calculated parted than
on any previous cmassion ; and that the long illness of
Her Royal Highness has not interfered with her rapid
recovery. The health of the Royal patient could not be
better. So late as Saturday, evening she wait able to
attend the file at the Crystal Palace which was given in
honour of the Duke of Edinburgh ; and on Smarty
morning she attended Divine service at the Chapel
Royal. The event occurred at 425 a.m. on Monday,
and nothing but favourable bulletins have since been
issued.

--ZIL—CUTT TO DOGS DIALLISID.—D IS IS difbault to
move an Englishman out of his rut as • Chinese. Season
after season comes round, and brings with it the publi-
cations of the old plattuds and handbills putting the
public on guard against hydrophobia, and compelling
them to musale the unfortunate doga. Between canine
rabies and the thermometer there is no real connection;
lesst of all is there any between the prevalence of that
dimmest and a high temperature, for it so happens that
the greatest number of esee occur during the colder
months of the year. It is not merely an unnecessary
ntearsure„ but • crirsl one, more cruel than is generally
realised. We most of us know what it is to suffer from
heat, and we exercise • good deal of ingenuity In order
to escape or diminish its effects. We lighten our
elothing, drink cooling beveraces, and go to bathing-
placers, about the same time that we muzzle
svir dog; this is, we debar the poor brute from
using a great natural means for diminishing his tem-
perature, and we prevent bim from drinking when he
want.. A little thought will make this plain. A man
or a horse perspires through the skin, which sets as the
safety-valve by which the internal heat of the blood is
regulated; but with our dogs it is different. A dog
never gets into • lather, whatever his feeling may be;
but, as every one most have noticed, ha opens his
mouth, lolls ont hia tongue to its fullest extent, and
pants. Now he does this in order to aerate and cool his
blood, the tongue and lungs of these animals. being the
. . .

pnnmpal organs by which the watery vapour as Inh.led.
By muzzling them in the hot weather we do all we can
to impede the natural function., and we ingeniously
create a condition which in man would tend to induce
heat apoplexy. The oonsequence is, dogs frequently
get flta if they run hard, and they mast inevitably be
the subjects of cruel discomfort. When any such um
fortunate dog gets wild from his unbearable state, or
falls in a fit, the vulgar commonly conclude that he Is
mad, and forthwith will commence to boot and stone
him. Rabies in the dog is well understood, and all
authorities are agreed as to the ablurdity and cruelty of
these regulations. We heartily wish, therefore, now
that the working•man's wrongs have been redreseed,
that some one would turn 64 attention to dogs, and
get rid of this abeutd and cruel process of muzzling
them at the very time of all other@ when they want to
keep their jaws wide open. The secretary of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal., we
perceive, sanest' the use of a loose muzzle, but it
would require to be very loose indeed to permit them to
do this —Larseel.
