of nominating-and electing ".a discreet person" (so the
announcement ran). to be assistant overseer, in the place
of Mr, Thomas Marshall (late inquiry and removal
officer), who has resigned.
We'mny state that placards and advertisements had
been issued, signed by the chairman, vicekhiiinian, and

by what-authority they did it? -It appetwed to him to•
be a hole-and-corner proceeding, (Applause.) Now,.
Mr.. Peaks, Who had' been: proposed and seconded, was
an old inhabitant of Tomtetlak-park ; and it behoved the'
ratepayers to be on the alert, and not allow-the•board of
guardians- to treat them with contempt.- (Hear, and
applause:). , He had the authority of one efithe mem—
bers for saving that a memorial, presented—some time
ago, was tirown aside by the chairman. They had had
their' _spring meeting; this. was their autumn meeting,
and they wanted no raciiw.;. (Laughter and applause.)
The CuAmMAN said the gentleman ha .'been quite
misinformed in stating thathe treated that memorial wall
contempt._ As to the other question aboutthe right of
the overseers when a vacancy occurred, it 172:9 necessary-

in his (the chairman's) opinion than any other. He haii
joined the-overseers in that recommendation ; but the'
Vestry coed 'do as they pleased. There wasnuthing like,

have an eatient man. . -

Mr. S‘P.ENCER-Therok. is one, gentleman .whn

The votes were- then taken, each person being,. €rst
required to, podnee a certificate of having, paR his
rates ; and when these were handed in, the. result- was
declared as, follows :—Mr. Peale, 29 ; 22 ;
Mr: Jones, h 4:;. and Mr. Whaley, 8.
A poll was demanded on tehalf of the• three. Ansue-
sessful candiiintes.

The CHAIRMAN said, to suit their oony,enience, he
should at once proceed to formally take. the Totes of
such gentlemen as were in, the room. The toll would
open on Monday at nine, o'clock,
till four: It would re-open on Tetesdayi and finally
close at four o'clock that afternoon aWiough he reserved
to himself the power to close the poll: at any time, if at
least one vote was not tendered within an hour.

Mr. SPENCER—Theit, ratepayers, put your shoulders
to the wheel !—(applause)—and, do not have the man
elected by the guaraans and overseers, (Applatse.)
Mr. Hoox was sorry the guardians bad so little to
say for themselves.

Dir. WlLsox—They are not worth replying to.
A rote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the
for Mal voting was proceeded with.
We understand that Mr. Peake is the 'Conservative
candidate, and that a strong feeling of indignAtion
exists in the Park at the officious .and extraroffkcial
step which has been taken by the overseers.

Mr. Smith O'Brien writes a letter in one of the-Irish
papers asking for an amnesty for Messrs. Mitchell and
Meagher, transported in 1848, and who afterwards
broke their parole in Australia. ,
UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH.—The soientific world
will be glad to learn that Sir David Brewster has been
appointed Principal of the Universtty of Edinburgh, in
the room of the late Very Rev. Dr. Lee. The emolu-
ments of the office are not large, but 'even philosophers
will not be insensible to the anour involved in an ele-
vation from St. Andrews to Edinburgh.

AN UNEXPECTED REsuvr.—The following, from the
pen of Mr. Cartledge, Sheffield, appears in this month's
Veterinarian :—" It may be well to inform the readers
of your journal, and through it the public generally, of
a danger that is incurred in carrying out to too great an
extent the system of subduing vicious horses, introduced
by Mr. Rarey. A fortnight ago, a mare belonging to a
gentleman in this neighbourhood, became so unmanage-
able as to induce him to place her in the hands of a
breaker. The near foreleg was strapped up, in the manner
adopted by Mr. Rarey, and the mare was left in that
position for rather more than forty-eight hours. At the
end of that time the breaker could, without fear of in-
jury, approach her in her box and lead her round
it ; but the leg which had been strapped up was ob-
served to be swollen both above and below the knee, and
the mare was slightly lame. Walking exercise was,
however, given in the breaker's yard daily, without any
apparent increase of either the lameness or the swelling,
and, with the exception of what was described to me as
a sweating' around the coronet, nothing further was
observed. To day (Angust 22)—exactly a week since
the mare was put into the breaker's hands—she was
found in her box with the near fore-foot hoofless. The
hoof, with the shoe on it, was lying just within the
door, and the animal was feeding as usual at the manger.'
My 'attendance was at once requested, and by my advice
the mare has been destroyed; as I found that already the
vascular strictures at the toe of the pedal bone had been'.
completely worn away by the friction on the ground."—
