DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBLA.—On Saturday after-
noon Dr. Lankester held an inquest at Middlesex Hospi-
tal relative to the death of Charles Morris, a boy of 15
years of age, who having been bitten by a dog some seven
weeks ago died from the effects in the above hospital on
Tuesday morning last. The jury returned a verdict—
" That the deceased died from hythophobia by a bite from a
rabid dog, and that such bite was received under accidental
causes." The following was appended to the verdict :
" The jury desire respectfully to call the attention of Sir
George Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, to the increasing frequency of the cues of hydro-
phobia, and the necessity of immediately instituting strict
police measures for the destruction of vagrant dogs, and
all dogs roaming about without owners." The fore-
man on behalf of the jury having signed the resolution,
the coroner said he would forward it the Home Secretary.
SOUTHAMPTON, June 10. —The Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steamer Poonah has
arrived here, with eight passengers, 5,316/. in specie, 347
bales of cotton, and 100 packages of sundries. In conse-
quence of a case of cholera having occurred on board the
Poonah yesterday morning, which terminated fatally in
nine hours, Dr. Wiblin, the medical superintendent of
quarantine, communicated with the local authorities,
in accordance with the order in council, who pro-
ceeded down the river to institute the necessary
inquiries ordered to be made on such occasions.
Dr. Wiblin was accompanied by the collector of her Ma-
jesty's customs, Alderman Subbing, the president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and the chairman of the Sanitary
Committee, J. Davidson, &q., the Oriental Company's
superintendent, and Dr. Bencraft, who formed a court of
inquiry. After eliciting on oath, administered by the
collector of customs, from the surgeon of the ship, Dr.
Chapman, that the case was one of English cholera, and
that the passengers and crew were all in good health, Dr.
Wiblin recommended, and the local authorities directed,
that the ship should be admitted at once to free pratique.
The Poonah brings the heavy portion of the Bombay mail.

•••
THE STREETS OP MESHED (PERSIA).—Especially
striking is the ever-restless crowd in its streets. Here are
to be seen all the costumes of Persia, nay of the whole of
Eastern Asia ; for this is the great meeting place of the
Shute world. The Indian, the Hezare, the Herater, the
Buckhariot, who in their own countries move ever with
bent necks, bowing beneath the rule of Sunnites, here
carry their heads proudly and erect, and thus form a
strange contrast to the Turkoenan or the Uzbeg, who slinks
fearfully along the wall. He is Sunnite, and therefore a
strange, nay more, a bated guest. In Iran it is true he can
hardly suffer illtreatment ; nevertheless he feels here the
sin of the cruelty which at home he is accustomed to
practise on the partisans of Ali—and bears himself humbly.
The streets of Meshed are seldom empty ; but they are
especially full, nay, crammed full, during the bright days
of autumn ; and he who at such a time, between the hours
of 10 and 12, glances at the varied throngs swarming in
every street, will be so confused with the hundreds of
objects around him that he will with difficulty carry away
a distinct idea of any one of them. For about two hundrtd
paces from the gorgeous edifice of the Imam, on either side
of the street beside their booths, as well along the banks
of the canal, are a multitude of hucksters and petty
trailers, who, carrying their wares in their hands, on their
shoulders, or on their heads, expose them for sle and
with their singing cries and their gesticulations, a
strange tumult and hubbub. Buyers and sellers are com-
mingled in the wildest confusion, and it is often impossible
to force one's way through the human mass. Nevertheless
a block in the streets rarely occurs. Foot passengers, men
on horseback, laden camels, strings of mules, one fastened
behind the other, bearing bales of merchandise, or kedjeves
(travelling panniers), out of which delicate, half-veiled
ladies peer coquettishly, pass continually, some iu, some
out of the gates of this holy place of pilgrimage. He who
is taking this departure is saluted from all sides
with a " Ziareti khabul " (May thy pilgrimage be ac-
cepted !) he who is entering by an an " Iltimaai dun"
(I'ray for me). In this chaos of souuds, in this deafening
confusion, the beggars, however, contrive by dint of loud
cries to obtain their tribute from the devout pilgrims. The
numberless Seyds (descendants of the Prophet), conspicuous
by their green turbans, contrive with their keen, prying
eyes to ferret out the newly arrived. They crowd around
him to offer their service as ciceroni in the several holy
places. The throng sings, shouts. howls ; the hot-blooded
muleteer from Shiraz curses and hits wildly right and left;
women and children scream with terror. To our European
eyes the confusion seems to wax more and more terrible ;
we think the greatest dangers are at hand, and yet—
everything contrives somehow to get into order ; everyone
goes forward to his destination, without suffering any loss,
without having any cause to complain.—" Arminius V km.
bery," in the Amory for June.
GENERAL STUART'S DEATH.—He had just dis-
charged the last barrel of his revolver when the hindmost
of the fugitives, coming close up to the fence, fired his re-
volver at him, the ball taking effect in the lower part of
the stomach and traversing the whole body. Stuart, find-
ing himself severely wounded, and the enemy at the same
time renewing their attack, turned his charger quickly
round and galloped half a mile further to the rear, where
he was taken from his horse nearly insensible from loss of
blood, and sent in an ambulance to Richmond. During
the early part of the morning the general felt com-
paratively easy, and the physician entertained great hope
that the wound might nut prove fatal. Towards noon,
however, a change took place for the worse, and our fears
began to be greatly excited. About this time President
Davis visited the prostrate hero ; taking his hand, the
President said, " General, how do you feel r' He replied,
" Easy, but willing to die if God and my country think I
have fulfilled my destiny and done my duty." As evening
approached mortification set in, and no hopes could any
longer be entertained. He became delirious, and his mind
wandered over the battle-fields where he had fought, then
to his wife and children, and again to the front. Mrs.
Stuart was absent with her children in the country, and
several messages had been despatched informing her of her
husband's state, and urging her instant return to Rich-
mond ; and in the intervals of relief from pain and deli-
rium, the general frequently inquired if she had not yet
come, beginning now to doubt the possibility of his re-
: coven'. About 5 o'clock the general asked Dr. Brewer,
• his brother-in-law, how long he thought it possible
he could live, and whether be could survive
through the night ; and being told that death was rapidly
approaching, he nodded, and said ," I am resigned, if it
be God's will ; but I should like to see my wife. But
God's will be done." He then made his last dispositions,
and took leave of us all, I being the last. I had been
sitting on his bed, holding his hand in mine, and banding
him the ice, which he ate in great abundance, and which
was applied to his burning hot wounds to cool them.
Drawing me towards him, and grasping my hand firmly,
he said, My dear Von, lam sinking fast now, but before
I die I want you to know that I never loved a man as
much as yourself. I pray your life may be long and
happy ; look after my family after I'm gone, and be the
same true friend to my wife and children that you have
been to me." These were the last connected words he
spoke ; during the next few hours the paroxysms of pain
became more frequent and violent, until about 7 o'clock
death relieved the suffering hero from his agonies. Poor
Mrs. Stuart arrived an hour after the general's death.
Of all the messages sent to her, my telegram alone had
reached ; but the operator hearing, after I had left the
office, that Stuart was getting better., altered the words
" the general is dangerously wounded," and substituted
" slightly wounded," The poor lady arrived at Dr.
Brewer's house, unaware of her husband's death ; and
when, on asking if she could see the general, and receiving
an affirmative answer, she rushed upstairs, expecting to
find him alive, it was only in the most cruel manner, by
the spectacle of her husband's cold pale brow, that she
learned the terrible misfortune which had befallen her and
• I her children.—Blackwood's Magazine for June.
