Clark, M.D., who for 48 years has occupied the chair of this

*e proposal for founding chairs of human physiology and

dread gentlemen were elected foundation fellows of the

A Florence letter of the 15th, in the SUck,
rfs:—" The Kin arrived here from Naples at 4 in the
thereon°. The municipal junta had decided on meeting
him at the station, ' in order to express, in the name of the

city of Florin** its sentiment+, of gratitude for the gener-
ous consolation which his Majesty had rendered in person
to the afflicted population of Naples.' The Florentines
responded to the appeal of the municipality, and the King
traversed the city in the midst of an immense multitude
constantly applauding. Cardinal Andrea, in presenting his
hemp to the King, declared that he was anxious to re-
tina thanks personally for the favours accorded him."
A Paris correspondent of the Independence says :
"Two members of the Academy of Sciences, MIL
Pasteur and &basin', animated by alaudable seal, are now
sugsged in dissecting the bodies of cholera victims, in
order that they may be able to ascertain the germ of this
terrible evil, and thus to aid in discovering a remedy for
it. This devotedness, the dangers of which it is easy to
comprehend, is the more meritorious that these learned
men are fathers of families."

A Yankee at Nassau, who had on hand a lot of
revolvers, no sooner heard of the revolt in Jamaica, than he
tilled with his entire stock for Kingston, where, owing to
the panic, he sold them at once at fabulous prices. lie
immediately left the island, remarking to a friend as he re-
=barked for Nassau, that the only persons who would be
is danger from his revolvers would be those who used them.
REBELS AND MAROONS IN JAMAICA.—A letter
from Port A utonio quoted by the Times says We are
sow getting more calm and composed ; the rebels are Nok-
ia; reform of us ; they evidently did not expect that such
prompt measures would have been taken to checkmate
them. Thirteen more have been executed and over 40
are now in confinement for trial. With the exception of
one or two of those executed, they all met death with the
air and demeanour of savages; they stepped to the
gallows without a tremor, or any outward exhibition of
sorrow or regret ; some looked and laughed with the
others, and one or two smilingly adjusted the rope them-
selves. People such as these were but too well adapted
for carrying out any deed, however atrocious and
diabolical. Prisoners are brought in daily. The way
through the mountains, by which they could effect an
escape, is well guarded, so that all hope of getting away is
cut off. They have been seen running Omit, if possible,
to find means of escape. The Maroons, under Colonel
Fyfe, left here on Thursday, and are gone to scour the
woods. We expect that they will make a • clean sweep'
of all that may be found in these regions. As to con.
liming about the origin and originator of the rebellion,
they have au utter home to do so, and you should me
the look the others give to any fellow who begins to
make disclosures. They appear under an Afric-Masonic
oath." A schooner laden with gunpowder, sod having
the rebel Haytian General Lamotte on board, had bean
raptured off the Weed. The Rev. J. B. Series, a Baptist
minister, was captured at Port Antonio, on (ieber 23.
There were about 200 male prisoners and 65 women still to
be tried.
HOM.EOPATHIC TREATMENT OF THE CATTLE
PLAGCE.-Of five cows, the property of Mr. Stowell, that
were removed to the Bradford Sanatorium, and treated
with a view of the prevention and cure of the disease,
four have died, one on Wednesday, and three on Thursday
night. Up to Thursday morning three ernes presented
Wmptoms that were considered favourable by the veteri-
nary surgeons, Messrs. Carter sad Williams, but after
that time they rapidly sank. The one remaining alive is
au almost hopeless case, and was not expected to live
through last night. One thing is worthy of record—vix.,
that the prophylactic remedy of the Homeopathist,

"epic hail- bree'n fonod of no use, as it was adoli- I
entered for three days prior to the apparent
outbreak of the disease.—Bradford Rcriew.—KELSO
DISTRICT.—Maoy here had been under the impression
that this dreadful disease had disappeared from the border
district, doing but slight havoc, but it wears sow only to
be beginning to spread. In adsition to the thirteen saimabi
Chich have died of the dims. at Swinton Groanrigs, in
Perwickshire, we understand it has broken out with eon-
adorable virulence on a farm is Northumberland, tenanted
by Sr. Nevins. On Tuesday last, we believe, five animals
had died of the disease, and several others were seriously
affected. Mr. Nevins bad purchased the lean cattle from a
dealer a few weeks previously.—Neircastk Chronicle.
USE OF GLYCERINE FOR MOISTENING MODELLING
CLAY.—The last number of Cannes record■ some experi-
"elite on the use of glycerine instead of water for moisten-
NI modeUing-clay. Clay first well dried and then rendered
Plastic by admixture with glycerine was kept in a hot
MOM for two months, at the end of which tame its
Plasticity had not in the least diminished. Clay rendered
Plastic by glycerine would seem to be capable of being seed
over sod over again indefinitely, just like wax, with the d-
vantage over wax of always retaining the same oossidericie
and degree of plasticity, neither being hardened by cold nor
softened by hail—Mechanics' afegaziat.
