DEATH OF a ENGLISH SPolanKAl4.—Mr. George
Osbahleston,whoee name has been familiar to the peblic
as an enterprising sportsman for more than half a century,
died at his residence, Grove-road, St. John's-wood, on
Wednesday evening last. He was born in London in 1787,
and belonged to an old Yorkshire family. At an early
age he was sent to Eton, where ho soon distinguished
himself is the sports of the field. From Eon: he proceeded
to Oxford, and entered at Rrasencee College, but it does
not appear from the University Calendar that be took
elassical or mathematical honours. He seems rather to
have devoted himself to hunting, and when Mr. Assheteu
Smith resigned the Quoin to take the Burton country, Mr.
Osbaldeeton succeeded him. In 1827 he became master
of the Pytehley, and his " peck " was the admiration of
the country. After pursuing this sport for a period of 35
years, be retired from the position of a master of fox-
hounds, and the followers of the Pytehley presented him
with a splendid gold snuff-box bearing this inscription
"To the best sportsman of any age or country."
He was - also a first-rate shot, and it is stated
on the authority of Sir Richard Sutton that he has
killed 98 pheasants out of a hundred shots. It is also
recorded thee be bagged in one day at Ebbertson (his own
seat) no less than 93 trace of partridges, 9 brace of hares,
and 5 couple of rabbits. Some extraordinary achievements
in the way of riding sre also invented of hint. Ont of one
et his riding matches a dispute arose between himself and
Lord George Bentinak, the result of which was a hostile
meeting at Wormwood Scrubs. Colonel Anson seconded
Lord George and Mr. Humphrey Mr. Osbaldeston. Both
I fired, but no berm was done, and all the gentlemen left the
field "satisfied." It was in 1831 that he made the cele-
brated wager with Colonel Chantre, 1,0001. even, to ride
900 miles in ten hours, Mr. Oshaldeston to have as many
e horses as be pleased. The event /some off in the Normar-
ket Houghton Meeting, over four miles, commeeecing and
finishing at Duke's Stand, when Mr. Osbeideston
accomplished the 300 miles la 7 hours 10 minutes and 4
seeon , 1 hour 22 minutes and 56 seconds being allowed
for dapper*. Twenty-eight horses were used. Mr. Os-
baideston also excelled as a cricketer and billiard player.

We are given to understand (says the Army end

at the Admiralty by lieutenant Griffith, late of her Ma-
jwity's ship Gladiator, and as it is genitally felt through-

THE NATIONAL ARTILLERY AIISOCIATION.—Hopes
are entertained by the council that the government will
issue sufficient Armstrong ammunition to permit of all the
detachments passed asefficient in the Armstrong gun drill,
shooting with the rifled gun for the Queen's prize. The
secretary of the association, Captain }Wiley, had an inter-
view with the Under Secretary of State for \Var. His lord-
ship has given the association a donation of 501., a sum
nearly equal in amount to the combined value of the
prizes of the Lords and Commons, the Prince of
Wales, and she Duke of Cambridge. The duties of Dr. De
Lisle Allen have been on the increase, there having been
one or two severe attacks of rliarrhoia experienced,and the
doctor, after doing duty all day on the battery, where he
is obliged to attend while firing is going on, had to
be in attendanse all night upon a patient wbo, horsier-,
last night was fast recovering. Had this mie changed
to cholera, Colonel Fisher would have broken up the en-
campment. The eases of diarrheas are chiefly brought on
by the foolishness of the men themselves persisting in
eating the shell-fish gathered on the beach. This they do
in spite of repeated warnings. To guard the men as much
as possible from the eonsequeeees of their own folly, the
commandant of the camp has been obliged to order that no
fruit or oyster carts shall enter on the government ground,
and the artillerymen have orders to prevent the men, as
far as they can, from gathering the dangerous mussels and
cockles. The firing yesterday, was for the Duke of Wel-
lington's price, value 101., one of the most valuable of the
meeting. The 4th West York was said to be ahead when
our pared left.

THE CROPS IN THE UNITED MATTA. —The steamer
St. David, which teethed Liverpool on Thursday, brought
the need annual official report of the United States Agri-
onLaral Department. This report shows that the crops
throughout the whole country are in a much better condi-
tion than had been anticipated, as the weather during the
spring of the year had been very unfavourable. The pre-
sent appearance of the corn crops, the report states, is
very promising, and the oat crop throughout the whole
country is sand to be uneurpaised. Indeed all who
le
promise a large yid.
Tuts Locverrs IN AU:MALL—A private letter of
the 17th July from Algiers, gives a deplorable account of
the destruction caused in that province by the Loomis.
Their invasion had lasted two months. They had nearly
eaten up the crops, and in many places stripped every
=leaf from the trees. In some places the danstating
lie on the ground a foot deep. The local autho-
rities at one time gave five francs a quintal for the collec-
tion and destruction of the locusts, but bed reduced the
reward to two frame. Some of the cultivators bad aban-
doned their farms, shut up their houses, and removed into
Algiers, in consequence of the loss of their crops. To pre-
vent a repetition of the plague by the " langortines* or

instructed to chain up the handle of the pump. The cow- •

the vestry.
At • meeting of the guardians of the City of London .
Union yesterday, the medical officer, Mr. Buncombe, stated
that there were 419 inmates of the workhouse under his
care. There bad been l 6 cases of cholera during the week.
and 20 had proved fatal. Of the 36 cases, 34 were inmates
of the infirmary, and two were admitted. Then had
been no cases in the body of the house. Dr.
Jeaffreson, who had been specially requested to visit
the house since the outbreak of cholera, also
presented a repose, and expressed his entire approval
of the arrangements made by the medical officer.
Dr. Wilson, the other medical officer of the union,
_said that

two or three cases of English cholera not fatal, and one
cue of choleraic diarrhoe, but none of Asiatic cholera.

From Winston' the pleasing intelligence comes that the

there are still a large number of oases under treatment,

Under the castor-oil treatment, as now adopted at the
Liverpool workhouse, in preference to the camphor and ice
treatnient,the deaths are diminishing, the proportion being
90 per cent. under the eliminative as compared with MI
per cent. under the other treatment.

COMPLAINT AGAINST THE TOTTINHAN BOARD
OF HILALTH. -A deputation from the parish of Tottenham
waited yesterday upon Br. ihmon, the Privy Connie
medical officer, and the secretary of the General Board of
Health, and presented • memorial strongly complaining
of • nuisance calmed by the sewerage factory of the
Tottenham Board of Health at Page-green. The nuisance
was said to he of the worst description.. The deputation
were told the matter would be at once inquired into.

CULTIVATED CHOLERA FIELDII.—In the devasta-
tion which the cholera is working in the eastern districts
of the metropolis, we are paying the dreadful price of local
self-government by ignorant, careless, and unfit persons.
The total neglect of sanitary provisions in the Poplar Steer
ney, and llethnal-green districts has been repeatedly and for
years urged upon the attention of the local authorities. The
miserable defects of water supply and drainage, the loath-
someness of the closet arrangements, the accumulation of
every kind of nuisance in a great number of our parishes
have lieen suffered in spited constant protests from medical
officers and the public press, verdicts of juries and recom-
mendations of coroners. lint what can be expected when
local authorities are small tradesmen ignorant and supine,
when the owners of the worst property have a_predommant
influence oaths government of our parishes,and when boards
of health and sanitary committees, vestries, and guardians
can only be moved when cholera, long tin eatened and
repeatedly announced) has forced the door and ocoupiel
every peyt of the plate. To-thies lapels tri of ex-
amples in point. The Poplar, the Wandsworth, and the
Bethnal-green authorities are all attacked with good
season ; but now for the hundredth time : and the
cholera is revelling in the fields of dirt which the " local
authorities" have left for its benefit.—Lancet.
PROSPECTS Ol CATTLE PLAGUE EXTINCTION.—
Compared with the proportions which the cattle plague
had aassined a few months ago (observes the Gardeners'
Ckrosick and Agricultural Gazette), its present pod.
tion is reassuring. Sanguine prophets look upon its utter
extinction as the work of • few weeks, bet with every
wish to encourage a hopeful spirit we cannot accept so
satisfactory a prognostication without sundry misgivings.
The vial test of the efficacy of the means that have lately
been put in operation with such signal effect will be
applied when farms are re-stocked and the restrictions
upon cattle traffic have been removed ; and it is not by
exciting • feeling of over-weening confidence that
success will be insured—rather, in the interests of the
country, let us have an unreasonable alarm, which at lout
would prevent the adoption of ill-considered measures, the
effects of which we should most certainly have to deplore.
We do not apprehend in the future those terrible conse-
quences which have been witnessed during the past 12
months in England. A year's dearly bought experience
is a costly thing that must be made to yield a good in-
terest. All the results of the labours of scientific men
who have devoted time and energy and vast experience to
the study of this subject, are included in the maxim,
that no system is effective in preventing the spread of the
plague but the one which insists upon the slaughter of
diseased and infected animals.
IN use Main PrAcm.—We have from time to
time recorded the names of ladies in America who, after
affording proofs of their competency, have been admitted
to practise as physicians in the United States. We have
now to notice that at the " St. Mary's Dispensary for
Women and Children," in Maryleborie, the office of general
medical attendant is exercised by Min Elizabeth Garrett.
This lady is the first legally qualified female medical pras-
titioner that England has produced. She holds the license
of the Society a Apothecaries, but the College of Phyd.
dans, it is said, has refused to admit Mir Garrett to be
examined for the degree of 31.1). At present, however,
she occupies a post (for which she has shown herself
qualified) which a woman may very fittingly occupy foe
the benefit of women and children.-4theretemes.
THE LATE DISCOVERY OF FENIAN AMMUNITION
AT LIEKEICIL—An inspection of the premises in Old
Francis-street, whore the extensive discovery of Fenian
ammunition was made last evening, has di
s
c
osdh fact
that nearly the entire of John's-street is erected upon
arches of great extent, and which may be walked through
along to openings of ingress and epees at certain points of
the town. This was the site of the famous stronghold for
defending which the women of Limerick pained such cele-
brity. After all that was found in the underground cow-
pertinent had been safely deposited at the police-station,
Sub-Inspector Chewier took a party of men with
him to maks excavations, which were carried cat
until a late hour. but nothing mote was found. In
addition to the 8,000 rounds of ball cartridge which the
boxes contained there was ore all powder, and another
powder with bullets embedded, also eight new patent
bullet-mosikls, and three begs of paper cut for cartridge
filling. The balls of the cartridge* are all greased, and
everything in ecenexios with the manufacture and ar-
rangement of them** stock wasevidentlyearried out by a
master band, as neither the ammunition of the military
nor constabulary_ could surpass it for neatness of finish
and make-up. This diroovery may lead to further impor-
tant results. It is generally believed that where there
was se much ammuoition concealed there must be also
Irssi in some convenient quarter.—Dublin Evestiug
