SINGULAR DEATH OF A GIRAFFE —A few days ago one of
these beautiful and interesting creatures met its death on
board one of the steamboats lying off the London Custom-
house in a singular manner. It forced its head and long
neck in such a way out of its cage as to cause its death
ere it could be extricated. The body was purchased by one
of the London societies (the Zoological Society we believe)
for the purpose of dissection, and preservation of the
skeleton, and stuffing of the splendid skin. The animal
was, we are informed, intended for exportation to Berlin.

THE STRANDING OF HER MAJESTY'S SIDI' EENIOUTII.—.
On Friday morning a court martial assembledon board
the Victory, at Portsmouth, to try Captain Harry Eyres,
C. 8., commanding her Majesty's 91-gun screw steam-ship
Exmouth, and Mr. Cavell, master of the same ship,
on the charge of having, on the 12th of May,
through negligence, ran ashore the said ship, in
or near Cowgreace Bay, to the westward of the
Lizard." The Deputy Judge Advocate pronounced the
following as the finding: —The court was of opinion that
the charge against Captain Eyres had been proved, inas-
much as he placed too implicit confidence in the master's
pilotage, and did not verify it by the use of the deep sea-
lead, and they adjudged him to be admonished. The
court were further of opinion that the charge had been
proved against the master, inasmuch as he trusted too
much to his judgment of distance from land in hazy weather
and shaped his course too confidently without making use
of the deep sea lead. Bat in consideration of his long
services and previous high character, they only sentenced
him to be reprimanded and admonished.
AUSTRALIAN TICLICGRAPII.—A select committee appointed
by the legislative council of New South Wales to enquire
into the practicability of establishing a telegraphic com
munication between-that colony and Europe, has made its
report, and published the evidence on which the report is
founded. The evidence went to show that the best way
would be to connect Sydney and London by way of Port
Essington, Singapore, Barg ion, India, and the. Euphrates.
There wouli be no submarine cables between England and
the Indian Arehnelago, except acroes the British Channel
and the Bosphorus. The cost of constructing a telegraph
between Sydney and Port Essington, a distance of 1,800
miles, is estimated at £130,000, and the annual cost,
including interest on the outlay, is estimated at £55,000
per annum. It was considered by some of the witnesses
who gave evidence that if there was established a
telegraphic communication between Australia and Europe,
the payment of an enormous subsidy to an Australian
mail steam-packet company could be dispensed with. It
was considered also by witnesses that European nations
who have possessions in the Pacific are interested in the
extension of the telegraph to Australia, and that they
might be expected to assist in its etiteibtOmenti

FRENCH SUPPLEEENT TO A STOCK StiOw.—A. somewhat
characteristic mote of testing the merits of the various
prize animals at the recent fat stock show at Poissy, near
Paris, was adopted by the jurors at that exhibition. After
the animals had been slaughted as required by the regale-
Cone under which the exhibition took place, and the weight
had been ascertained, the
,jury were entertained at a dinner
in which portions of the various prize animals we, a served
up, the object toting to test which breeds give the best
quality of meat. The flesh of the first prize animals
was selected to undergo the ordeal, A portion of each
animal was cooked separately; the time taken to make
ready, the weight before and after cooking, &c., were
gone into with considerable minuteness. The writer in
the North British Agriculturist, from whom we take the
particulars of this novel agricultural competition, says—
" Those who have not paid much attention to this subject,
esteeming meat simply as fat or lean, would be astonished
at the difference in the taste cf the soups, and of the meat
from which they were prepared, were they to make the
experiment They would find that the fieshof certain breeds
is better adapted than that of others for boiling—others
for roasting' On each dish the jurors came to a division,
which was often very close —seven to seven—the votes
being taken by a show of hands Each juror took notes
by the numbers—the number being the only distinguishing
mark. The votes were put after each division of soups
or meat was partaken of. First came the trial of soups, of
which eight specimens were prepared from the
fle?li of oxen—English and French. The Duke of
Beanfores prize shorthorn ox was considered by
a majority to have made the best soup. So the best boiled
meat—that from which the soup had been made—was con-
sidered to be that of the same ox. Next was the trial of
roast pork. And the first quality was found to be that
from a cross of a new Leicester pig with a French breed
called Angerou. Then came roast mutton, of which eight
sorts invited the trial of gastronomic discrimination. The
Cotswold was placed first, though the competition was very
close the first division being equal, one juror on a second
division giving his adherence to the Cotswold roast. The
reporter, obviouslya Scotchmau, demurs to the mutton deci-
sion. Last ofall was the trial of roast beef, of which there were
no less than thirtent specimens, " all very good, requiring
on the part of the jurors more than ordinary balancing of
points of merit.' Nor was the difficulty of the final trial
lessened by the circumstance of " the appetite being some-
what palled by the food previously partaken of." Between
each trial course there intervened some non-competing
course, such as fish, fowls, sweetbreads and asparagus, and so
forth. The roast beef had been cooked " before a small grate
containing charcoal, with a bachelor's oven behind ;" and
the colour of several of the roasts " war not good
Some, however, " would have gratified the taste of the most
fastidious epicure. The following are rho results : --The
West Highland ox of the Duke of Beaufort was firet ;
The Devon ox of the Earl of Leicester, second ; the
Charolaise, third ; the cross ox of Mr. Dudgeon, Short-
horn-Angus, fourth ; Mr. 31 Combio's ox. Angus, aged,
fifth; the Limousine, sixth ; the Duke of Beaufort's
shorthorn ox, seventh ; Parthenais, eight. The others
were not classed. Probably the testing powers of the
jurors had by this time been overtasked. "After voting
on the roasts, which was attended with considerable ex-
citement, each juror appearing to acquire increased con-
fidence in his tudgment and his taste as the testing pro-
ceeded," the t4hper concluded with fruits and pastry.
