CIILOROI7OII3I,—If, in experiments with chloro-

almost immediately find (as we do) that the most marked,
indeed only narked post-mortem appearance, is cardiac
syncope, that is, this gorging of tho right cavity of the
heart with healthy blood, the lungs passive : if in post-
mortem examinations of patients in hospitals that have suc-
embed to chloroform, we find the same thing, the statistical
inference appeared to Snow very clear, though it is au error,
that the deaths were from paralysis of the heart. So it is
considered in nearly all our standard books on surgery,
and electricity is still tried in the hospitals to the heart I
in many cases, without any good effect whatever. One is
very desirous that the true manner of applying elec-
tricity to the phrsnic nerve and respiratory muscles in
deep anaesthesia with a magneto-electro current were better
known, as in this form this agent is most effectual in re-
storing life; while, applied to the heart directly, as is
usual; it only extinguishes what life there is left in that
organ,and coagulates this blood in the right cavities, in
casesf apparent death from drowning, it is even more
valuable, but a "terra incognita" to our " Humane

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE EXTRAORDTNARY CHARGE OF BURGLARY,—A
few days ago a young man, named Philip Selby Moss, who
gave an address at Manchester, was charged at this court
with burglariously breaking and entering a house in War•
dour-street, he having entered the house by climbing up
the street door and forcing himself through the fanlight.
He told the persons in the house that he had come there
for protection in consequence of being pursued by eeveral
thieves. The prisoner's conduct was so singular that Mr
Knox considered that no burglary was contemplated and
that the young man's mind was affected. He therefore
remanded the young man that his friends might be commu-
nicated with.

Lord John Manners on Agriculture,

This morning Mr Smith, a wholesale stationer, ac-
quainted with the family, attended, and stated that he had
seen the young man at the House of Detention, and that
he believed he was not in his right state of mind. Amongst
other things he had told him that he had been pursued by
12 men, and that he had 10 sisters.
Mr Knox said he had received a letter from Mr Alder-
man Heywood, of Manchester, who knew the family, and
from inquiries that gentleman had made, he found that,
having been refused admission at a late hoar by his sister
to their house, he had left :he place, and nothing further
was heard of him till the reports appeared in the papers.
Mr Smith said one of the young man's sisters would
attend and take him back with her if he was allo wed to go.
Mr Knox said he should have nu objection to give him
back to his friends, being under the impression the young
man was not in his right state of mind.
A gentleman said the young man had been subjected to
fits, and once jumped front a high window, but that was
two since which time there had been no recur,
rence
to
years
ago, since

The annual gathering of the Leicestershire and
Waltham Agricultural Society took place yesterday
at Market Harborough. The show was good and
the attendance very large. Upwards of 600 ladies
and gentleman sat down to dinner in a large pavi-
lion on the showgronnd. Lord John Manners, M.P.,
presided, and among the guests were Lora Berners,
Viscount Ingestre, M.P., Lord Carzon, M.P., Mr.
Packe, Mr Hartopp, M.P., Mr Hunt, M.P.,
General Gisborne, Mr R. Gough, Mr W. W. Tailby,
Mr Spofforth, Mr Bennett, the Dean of Waterford,

Mr Knox observed that the best thing that could be done
would be to put the young man under medical treatment.
When the young man was brought before him to-morrow,
if his friends were in attendance, he would be given up.
A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH WILFUL DAMAGE.—James
Edward Smith, a private of the Grenadier Guards, was
charged before Mr Knox with wilfully, while drunk, da-
maging two bell handles, the property of Mr Parker, of 21,
Portland-street, Soho.
Mrs Parker said that on the previous afternoon an oyster
shell was thrown through an open window on to a landing
of her house, and shortly after she heard violent knocking
and ringing. She went down to the door, and found the
prisoner violently ringing the bells, and making use of the
most disgusting langusge. Damage was done to the bell
handle to the amount of 69.

Mrs Williams, residing in the same house proved seeing
the prisoner hammering the bell handle with the buckle of
his belt. Ho aecused her of having robbed him. The
prisoner was very drunk.
Sergeant Edwards, C 2—Saw the prisoner, who was very
drunk, standing at the door of the house surrounded by a
large crowd. The prisoner, who had his belt in his hand
at the time, admitted breaking the bell handles, but said
he would pay for them.
The prisoner said he went down the mews at the side of
the house and some water was thrown over him, and he
only went to the house fir satisfaction when a piece of
crust of bread was thrown in his face.

The prisoner's sergeant gave him a fair character, but
said he had been absentfive days.

Mr Knox ordered him to pay the damage, a fine of 10a,,
or in default to be committed for 14 days.

THAMES.

SCANDALOUS ROBBBIIy OF A SAILOR,—Sarah Williams,
who carried a child in ber arms, and Sarah Downey, two
notorious thieves, who have often been in custody, were
brought before Mr Paget charged with stealing a £lO Bank
of England note, 30s. :n gold, and 17s. or 18s. in silver,
from the person of Ilen.y Young, a very smart homeward
seaman, who has been recently paid off.
The prosecutor said he met with Williams yesterday
evening, and went home with her to a house in Dawnshire-
street, Commercial-road. After being with her some time
she was cuddling him up to fondly, and calling him her
deer Jack, that he lnew she was then getting over
him, as it was the way the girls got over chaps.
Soon after that he found her taking the guard
off his silver watch. Ho then began to suspect her, and
missed ell his money. There was a £lO note in a piece of
paper, his gold in a purse, and his silver loose. He left
the house when he missed his money and thought he would
go home. He met Williams again coming Out of a public-
house. She tried to get his watch again, but the guard
was too strong. He gave her into custody, and Downey
then interfered and tried to pull her away. In answer to
questions by the magistrate, the sailor said he had never
been robbed before; but he knew the ways of the girls,
when they robbed a sailor they pretended to be very fond
of him. He had a go)d deal of drink last night. He met
Williams on Tuesday for the first time. He did not go
home with her then, because he was not paid
off. He was certain he had his money in his pockets when
he went home with her. He fait her hands in his pocket.
Williams hero said she never saw the sailor until he gave
her into custody.
- - - - - - -

After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts
bad been given and duly honoured,
The't Health of the Memb?rs for the Counties of
Lei :ester and Northampton" was given and warmly
received.

James Buckley, a /Ales constable, No. 140 H, said the
priscners were given into custody by Young, who said that
Downey fondled him, and threw her petticoats over his
head when he went home with Williams. The woman
calling herself S.rah Williams had given a false name and
address. Her rearwima was Margaret Pease, or Pea.
Young was recalled, and said he did not know whether
Downey was in the house or not when he entered it with
Williams, He then made some contradictory statements.

Mr Paget could not rely on the sailor's evidence, and
discharged the prisoneis.

NARBE T S Day.

The toast was acknowledged by Mr Pecke, Lord
Curz3n, Mr Hartopp, and Mr Hunt.
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the
day. After complimenting the company on the
show, which, he observed, had never been excelled,
the noble lord said—You will now expect me to
take stock of the agricultural proceedings and
operations during the past year. A good deal
has been said of the ravages which the disease im-
ported in foreign cattle has made among our own
beasts; but still, in spite of those ravages, I think
I may say that, with the exception of the low price
of wheat, produced to some degree, no doubt, by the
abundant supply which was vouchsafed to us by the
last year's harvest, speaking generally, the agricul•
tural community has not had much reason to com-
plain. With reference to that low price of wheat,
I think I am not wrong in asserting that the time
has come when it behoves the farmer to consider
deliberately and maturely whether for the future
wheat ought to hold that primary place which it
has hitherto held in his affections, and to say whe-
ther to a certain extent some other crop may not be
introduced to supply the place of that which may
in some degree be profitably diminished. (Hear,
hear.) Now, in order to arrive at a just solution
of that question, I think it absolutely essential for
a moment to glance at the condition not only of
English agriculture, but of English manufactures;
and if in that wider glance we see reason to believe
that a crop not hitherto cultivated to any appre-
ciable extent in England may profitably be substi-
tuted in some measure for that crop which during a
series of years has in the opinion of many practical
men failed to give a sufficient remuneration to the
grower, I hope I may be excused if I venture to
draw your attention to that not unimportant sub-
ject. (Hear.) Soon after the outbreak of the pre-
sent desolating American war I ventured at a large
gathering in Leicester to call attention to the pro.
bable increased demand which would arise for flax
and woollen goods. With regard to wool, we are
well aware of the enhanced price of that commo-
dity, and I think no English farmer—and certainly
no Leicestershire farmer—requires to be reminded
of the remuneration which he is receiving from a
diligent cultivation of wool. Bat with respect to
flax 1 fear that the question assumes a different cha-
racter. I rejoice, however, that during the last few
months two members of this society have ventured
on that experiment, and with your permission I will
add a few words which I hope will induce others to
follow their example. Within the last few months we
have had an important Government official report
upon this subject, and that report has been published
by the Government for the edification and instruc-
tion of the people. In that report Mr. Baker ex-
presses his anxious desire that every English far-
mer will for the future grow no less than five acres
of flax. Ido not presume to be so sanguine as Mr.
Baker, but I venture to express an earnest hope that
the soil will be found sufficiently favourable for that
venture to the farmers of England, and that the
farmers of Leicestershire will not shrink from trying
that experiment. (Hear, hear.) I may be told that
there is little soil in this county that is favourable
to the growth of flax. I cannot set my opinion
against that of any practical gentleman present, but
I think, speaking generally, that some misapprehen-
sion exists on this subject of the soil. True un-
doubtedly it is that what is called a good dry loam,
a strong subsoil, is the most favourable ground for
the cultivation of flax; but, after all, the main point
is to arrive at a-clean, dry, deep bed for the flax seed.
I think I see a sufficient representation of agricul-
tural skill before me to know that other soils besides
those foams can be very easily made available for
that purpose. [A Voice—How will it pay P] I hear
a gentleman inquire, " How will it pay ?" And that,
after all, is the important question at issue—(hear)
and the gentleman will find a full and ample answer
in a little work which has recently been published
by a practical farmer, who has for many years tried
the experiment. Mr, Charley gives you a course of
practical results, and shows that the lowest clear
profit per acre is £3, and the highest £l5 10s, and
that the mean profit is £9. (Hear, hear.) Ido not
presume to ask what have been the mean proflis of
wheat cultivation during the last six years in the
cou.7trYt but I believe that if you can get a profit of
£9 per acre it will not be an unprofitable mode of
cultivating, at any rate, a portion of your farms.
(Hear.) But, it may be asked," Can you depend on
the continuance tic the great demand which at present
exits ?" On looking at the report of Mr. Baker I
find that there is a very jreat demand for flax linen
goods not only in the Unitee! Kingdom, but through-
out Europe ; that at the present moment the
flax manufacturers in France aesa working day and
night—that the Irish linen manufacturers are cry-
ing out for more flax—that upwards cif 200,000 new
spindles for flax machinery have been ordered at
Leeds and Bradford during the last few elionths—
and that there is among those conversant wi%:h the
subject an apprehension of a flax famine. (11;ear,
hear). I think you may rely upon it there is no feat
of any present remunerative demand for linen goods,
and I may say, further, although the Irish farmers
have been lately so stirred up that they have added
during the last year 64,000 acres to the cultivation
of flax, upwards of one-half the raw material worked
up in the United Kingdom comes from abroad, and
that supply is estimated at not less than six millions
of money. (Hear.) The six millions of money we
are now sending to Archangel, to India, and good-
ness knows where, for the supply of that charming
little plant which might be grown on our own soil
to be afterwards worked by our own countrymen.
(Hear, hear.) If there be any disposition in the
Leicestershire agricultural community to make this
as I think an easy and hopeful venture, I shall be
proud and pleased to offer a humble prize for the
best sample of flax that can be shown at our next
meeting. (Cheers.) Having addressed myself to
that topic which seemed to me to be most in ac-
cordance with the objects of this meeting, I will
now say a few words on the uneventful Session
which has just closed. With the exception of the
abortive attempt to legislate on, and if possible to
prevent, the entrance of diseased cattle into our
ports, I am not aware of any important measure
that has received the sanction of her Majesty di-
rectly affecting the interests of agriculture. A
measure, it is true, has received the Royal assent;
but when four members of Parliament have ad-
dressed you without making any reference to it, I
think I may be pardoned if I assume that it is not
one that greatly stirs or excites the agricultural
mind. I allude to the Act which permits those who
are interested or engaged in agriculture to malt
barley for feeding cattle. (A laugh.) I heard the
mention of that Act received with derisive cheers,
and 1 confess I am not in the least surprised at such
a reception. But although the Act is a dead letter,
yet indirectiv I think we may attribute a certain
degree of importance to it. A movement took place
during the autumn and winter in favour of the re-
peal or a great diminution of the malt tax. Bat
before any proposition tending in that direction
could be brought before Parliament, the Chancellor
of the Exchequer feeling, as I suppose, the impos-
sibility of maintaining under a system of free trade
a law which prohibited the producers of barley and
the manufacturers of meat from dealing as they
might think best with an article of agricultural
produce, introduced the measure to which I have
referred. When its burdensome and troublesome
provisions were made known, I do not think there
was a practical man in the country who believed
that any good would came of it, and I am not sur-
prised that an agricultural assemblage attaches no

resting, painfully interesting, as the 'Nast "al ion
has been to all who love the good faith, h ono.ur,..nnd
dignity of this country, lam not aware, with the
two exceptions I have mentioned, that anyti
. has
occurred which necessarily calls for any i Vat .rk
whatever. Speaking generally, I should say th at
the partial collapse of that great industry which Ab- I
pends entirely for its raw material on foreign E
plies, the continued and remarkable advance of th ese
manufacturing industries which draw their supp 1 iesof raw material either altogether or chiefly from t.
own country or our own colonies have, in spite of
the comparatively small imports of foreign cattle],
all have combined to create in public opinion, botl)
within and without the walls of Parliament, a fat
greater appreciation of the enormous national
importance of those homely old-fashioned opera..
tions to which you, as a society, are devoted.
believe that the run of common sense has in that
respect set in, and that there is not at the preeeni
moment a manufacturing township in the north i
which the transcendent importance of a good hay-
vest and of agricultural improvement is not full y
and cheerfully recognised—(hear, hear)—and whe n
we talk of agricultural improvements we do not i n
this society mean only the application of fresh ski li
and industry and capital to the soil, we do not mea
only the increased return from a grateful soil which
will follow that application of capital and industrj,
but we mean the advancement in the social scale
that great and deserving class, the tillers of the soi 1,
whose virtues, whose skill, whose industry, sr d
whose good conduct, this society recognizes and en-
deavours to encourage and promote. Animated,
then, by the conviction that the promotion of agri-
culture subserves the best interests of all classes of
the English community, and that these societies
and these gatherings tend to promote that bene-
ficial result, I ask you to join me in drinking;
"Prosperity and success to the Leicestershire and
Waltham Agricultural Society." (Loud cheers.)
Several other toasts were given, and duly
honoured.
