[AnvEnTrsEktENT.l---Holloway's Pills.--Satisfactori
Results.—Whenever the blood is foul, the stomach dig"

curatives. A gentleman, who had been a sufferer for year e,
though he had sought the best professional aid, writes,

cheerful than all the medicine I had taken previously.
Holloway's pills strengthen the stomach, prevent bilious'

FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

At the last sitting the Minister of Public Instruc-
tion announced that the Minister of the Imperial
Household and ehe Fine Arts had ordered a bust of
the late M. Biot, executed by M. Lequesne, to be
placed in the Palace of the Institute. A paper was
received from M. Vionnois, describing six brick-
kilns of the Gallo-Roman period discovered at La
Roche-du•Thay, in the department of Ille-et-
Vilaine. The fragments of tiles lying about suffi-
ciently prove their origin, their slnpe being Gallo-
Roman, and some of thF7An even bearing the
trade mark of the brir.;emaker, which, however. it
has been imposeibl:e to decipher. The tiles are flat,
40 centimetrP's in breadth, and two in thickness,
with ib....eral rims. The kilns were all alike, and one
;of ',nem is still in good preservation. It is rectan-
gular, 2'oB metres long by 1.70 in breadth ; its walls
are vertical ; the fire-place is 10 centimetres deeper
than the kiln itself, and separated from it
by a floor resting on three supports, and
pierced with holes, through which the flame
penetrated between the tiles placed verti-
cally in rows, The holes near the perimeter are
wider below than above, while the contrary is the
case with those near the centre. From all this it
appears that bricks used to be burnt in kilns similar
to those now used for earthenware. b 7. Garraud
communicated a method imagined by him for
preventing the terrible consequences r?f. explosion
by fire-damp, or at least for reducing them to
mere pecuniary damage without loss of life. His
plan is to deterreedoe explosions by means of
the electric induction-spark of Ruhenkorff's
machine before the miners desoend into the
galleries. After describing the way in which
the wires ought to be arranged, he says :
"Every day, before the miners go to their work,
several sparks must be let off in the galleries ; then
if an explosion ensues the gas will be destroyed;
if, on the contrary, after several sparks there is no
explosion, there is no reason why there should.be
any with an ordinary lamp. The Perpetual Secre-
tary remarked that a similar practice had long been
in use, though not with the induction-spark ; men
being sent down into the galleries with lights fixed
to long poles, They creep along, holding the lights
aloft, because fire-damp always accumulates at the
roof of the
gallery,
i and thus produce explosions
which are harmless n proportion to the frequency
with which the operation is perfurnaed."

NATAL SITGAR.—S ugar has taken a Proud position
as our largest staple. It is difficult, in the absence of
reliable statistics, to form an estimate of what the year's
crop may have been, but it cannot have fallen far short of
3,000 tons. The yield has been generally satisfactory. On
very few estates less than a ton per acre has been averaged.
On many two tons have been obtained, and several fields
are cited as having yielded fully three tons per acre.—Natal

Railway Accidents,

-„-
TO THE EDITOR OF TILE 5."r4
Sin,—lt is difficult to understand why railway directors
persist in ignoring three admirable safeguards, all of which
are practised in America, with success, for the prevention
of railway accidents. Firstly, Why is there not the simple
machinery called the cow lifter, which, when attached to
the fore part of the engine,
can lift off any obstruction, living
or inanimate ; and which plan, therefore, in night travel-
ling, is especially useful ° Secondly, Why is there not a
bell rope running through loops within tho railway car-
riages, enabling passengers, in case of illness or of robbery,
to communicate with the engineer or guard? The objeo-
tion which I have heard alleged
trit'g7,6 be used by foolish or mischievous persons to hoax
the officials; but this objection does not apply in America,
and I do not understand why it should apply in England,
At any rate, the plan deserves a fair trial, and this remark
applies to the well known plan of exchanging email num-
bered plates with the railway guard or porter, for the car-
riage and sate delivery of luggage from one station to
another station, perhaps hundreds of miles distant,—

SUDDEN DEATII OF VIE 1)
EFUTY CLERK OF THE
PEACE,-0a Wednesday an inquest was held at the
Sessions House, Clorkenwell-Green, relative to the death of
Mr Baldwin, aged 52, who was found dead in his office on
Tuesday afternoon last. From the evidence of Mr Charles
Robert Harper, a clerk in the Peace-office, it appeared that
the deceased was the deputy clerk, whom he saw last alive
about half-past eleven on Tuesday morning. He complained
of a numbness in the limbs and dryness in the throat. De-
ceased was then in his inner (ace. Shortly before half_
past four o'clock iu the afternoon witness found hiat sitting
in his chair dead. :Mr Charles J. Austin, surgeon, said
that death was caused by
fatty degeneration of the heart.
The jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes.
A CAPTIOUS AND VIOLENT ROGUE.—A man with
several aliases, including
Goodenough, smith, and
Williams, was tried before Mr Justice Byles, at Winches-
ter, on Thursday, for five burglaries committed in different
parts of Hampshire, He challenged no less than 20 jury.
men, on the ground that there was a prejudice against him
in the county, and then apparently went into a fit, and lay
on the floor of the dock, A. jury was made up from the
persons in court, and the trial proceeded, it being shown in
evidence that the prisoner was captured at Bristol after a
desperate resistance, in which he used a knife and a six
barrelled revolver, stabbing one of the officers, lie was
surrounded in the dock by a strong force of police, it being
considered probable that he would be violent, He was
found guilty and sentenced to 14 years' penal servitude,

SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES AND
NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE,
VIENNA, JULY 16.

The proposals of Denmark, addressed direct to
the Courts of Berlin and Vienna, have been met on
the part of Austria and Prussia by a suspension of
arms on land and sea until the 31st July, daring
which period the blockade will be raised.

The German Powers have added the request that
Denmark will immediately send plenipotentiaries
to Vienna, in order to come to an understanding
with Austria and Prussia relative to the basis of

who begin the career of an operative at so early an
age, What may seem trivial alterations to those
who have never been in the habit of being much
with these classes, or of witnessing the effects of
their toilsome career, is, in reality, a most important
change, and one that is sure to work well and hap-
pily for them in the longrun. Lord SHAFTESBURY
must be as competent a judge in such matters as
anyone, for he has devoted himself to the
task during many long years, and he has
exhibited such pains in the prosecution of the
arduous researches necessary for the due compre-
hension of the case, that those who have not had
inclination cr opportunity to judge for themselves,
and become personally acquainted with the state of
the operations, and the effect which their labour has
upon them, can confidently rely upon his judgment
in all matters that are disputed. There was great
opposition to the changes in the factory hours of
labour at the time when the measure was first in-
troduced, and the most disheartening prophecies
were uttered, but time has proved that these objec-
tions were fallacies, and that all the predictions of
the supporters of the bill have been more than
verified. It is then very gratifying to think that
another of these remedial measures has been passed,
and that there is every reason to believe that the
same beneficial results will accrue even as on a former
oecesion. It is one of the most difficult things in
the world to make the enactments that relate to
the hours of labour and the mode of conducting its
procedure, but the eifficulties ought to be vigorously
contended with, and those who struggle in the
cause may learn that success in such an undertak-
ing is one of the most enduring and excellent kinds
of triumph, and that failure in such attempts is
still creditable, and may
pave the way for the future
efforts of philanthropic individuals in the same

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1864.

The extraordinary circumstances attendant upon
the death of Mr. Thomas BRIGGS (chief clerk at the
banking firm of Messrs. ROBARTS, LUBBOCK, and
Company)' still remain, up to the moment at which
we are
writing, wholly unexplained, All, in fact,
that is yet known in regard to that death may be
recapitulated. It was frightfully
very readily
sudden in its cccurrance—rapid in its completion—
and, to all appearance, was a death of extraordi-
nary violence. Everything about it—in Spite of its
bewildering
suddenness, and in spite also of
the still more bewildering rapidity of its comple-
tion—pointed distinctly, upon the first discovery
of the facts of the case, to its being the result of a
most brutal murder. The particulars that seemingly
point it out thus as a Case of assassination are, among
others, there—The fearful injuries (is from heavy
blows) discovered upon
the head of the deceased!
The blood-stained floor and cushions of the compart-
ment of the first class railway carriage in which he
had, but a few seconds before, been travelling. The
bloody finger-marks upon the windows, upon the doer
handle, upon the latch of his empty leather-bag, as
well iss upon the fedothoard and the external pannel-
Hog of the railway carriage in which he had died
and from which he had been precipitated. Other
circumstances indicate no less conclusively the Net
that it must have been a death accomplished by the
hand of a murderer. Among these—the missing
watch and gold albert-chain, the fastening
of the extremity of which chain was found
attached to the button-hole of the dead man's
waistcoat, the rest of the chain and the gold chro-
nometer having vanished. Added to this circum-
stance the fact of the chain having been exchanged,
under most suspicious circumstances, the very
morning after Mr. BRIGGS'S sudden and apparently
violent death, and parted with thus by a mail since

FALSE WEIGHTS AND IVIEASUREs.— A return was
published yesterday of the number of persons who
had been
z_,,ted in the parish of St. Pancras, Middlesex,
daring co w
the year ending the 25th of March last, of using
false weights and measures. The trades were-7 cheese-
mongers, 2 pork-butchers, 4 butchers, 7 coal dealers, 1
tobacconist, 6 greengrocers, 3 bakers, 3 oilmen, 6 merino
store dealers, 8 grocers, 1 stove dealer, 1 licensed victualler,
and 2 persons keeping chandler's shops. The highest fine
was 20s, the majority 2s 6d. In some cases only 2s Gd was
inflicted for a second offence, and 108 for a third offence.
In one case a baker was fined for placing a penny piece on
the scale, and a grocer for having a paper weight
under the scale, and a marine-store dealer for having
a large lump of lead in the scale which was removable.
The returns do not give the names of the guilty parties.
Nhw ZEALAND VIA PANAMA,—Since the repudia-

tion of the Panama contract by the Ministry, the subject
has been freely ventilated in all the provinces. Canterbury
has taken the lead in a movement to guarantee to the In-
ternational Royal Mail Company the subsidy if they will
carry on the contract, and it is understood that this pro-
vince, as well as Nelson, will join in the guarantee. The
desirableness of communication via Panama is not ques-
tioned, and by some means or other we hope to see it
accomplished. Repudiation of any contract entered into by
our representative--even though he may have exceeded his
powers—will only cause our credit to fall in the estimation
of English capitalists, and with the exception of Auckland
and Otago, and a small section of the community here, the
colony was in favour of the undertaking.

The Peacock Testimonial,

In laying the'subjeot of the Peacock Testimonial
before our readers, we merely perform, says the
Daily Shipping News, one of the duties which it is
intended our journal shalt discharge. Those inte.

rested in the shipping of the port of London stood
in need of increased facilities for getting their views
ventilated in matters of a purely class nature. The
claims of Captain Peacock will have been made
known 'this morning by the numerous circulars of
the influential committee who told a meeting at the
office of Messrs. Cowan, Heasley, and Co., Great

Indisputable remedies for bad legs, old wounds, sores,
ulcers. If used according to directions given with tlleT
there is no wound, bad leg, ulcerous sore, or Lad br CAB,
however obstinate or long standing, but will yield to their
healing and curative properties. Numbers of persons Wild
have been patients in several of the large hospitals, an
under the care of eminent surgeons, without rendering tPO
slightest benefit, have been thoroughly cured by Hollows Y

scurvy, and diseases of the skin, there is no medicine tbil
can be used with so good an effect. In fact, in the worst
forms of disease dependent upon the condition of the bloc"
these remedies are irresistible.

Railway Accidents,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE k'."7`
Sin,—lt is difficult to understand why railway directors
persist in ignoring three admirable safeguards, all of which
are practised in America, with success, for the prevention
y
of railway accidents. Firstly, Why is there not the simple
machiner called the cow lifter, which, when attached to
the fore part of the engine, can lift off any obstruction, living
or inanimate ; and which plan, therefore, in night travel.
ling, is especially useful secondly, Why is there not a
bell rops running through loops within the railway car.
riages, enabling passengers, in case of illness or of robbery,
to communicate with the engineer or guard ? The objee •
tion which I have heard alleged against this plan is that it
might be used by foolish or mischievous persons to hoax
the officials; but this objection does not apply in America,
and I do not understand why it should apply in England,
At any rate, the plan deserves a fair trial, and this remark
applies to the well known plan of exchanging small num-
rbieargeed plates

SUDDEN DEATH OF VIE
PEACE.—On DEPUTY CLERH OF THE
Wednesday
an inquest was held at the
Sessions House, Clerkenwell-Green, relative to the death of
Mr Baldwin, aged 52, who was found dead in his office en
Tuesday afternoon last. From the evidence of Mr Charles
Robert Harper, a clerk in the Peace-ofuce, it appeared that
the deceased was the deputy clerk, whom he saw last alive
about half-past eleven on Tuesday morning. He complained
of a numbness in the limbs and dryness in the throat. De-
ceased was then in his inner office. Shortly before half-
past four o'clock in the afternoon witness found him sitting
in his chair dead. Mr Charles J. Austin, surgeon, said
that death was caused by fatty degeneration of the hent.
The jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes.
A CAPTIOUS AND VIOLENT ROGUE.—A man with
several aliases, including Goodenough, Smith, and
Williams, was tried before Dir Justice Byles, at Winches-
ter, on Thursday, for five burglaries committed in different
o
parts of Haropehile. Ho challenged no less than 20 jury-
men, on the ground that there wasa prejudice against him
in the county, and then app*ently went into a fit, and lay

WE S r FLANDERS.

The report of the directors states that they have sum-
moned the shareholders in order to obtain their approval of
a cOnVention Made provisionally with the Societe Anonyme
de Construction de Tubize. At the last half yearly general
meeting the directors informed the shareholders of the mo-
tives which led them to solicit the concession of two new
lines, in order to develops the traffic) and to counteract the
effects of the competing line from Ostend to Ypres and
Armentieres. The concessions were approved. The direc-
tors subsequently ordered the surveys, plans, and estimates
to be proceeded with, and during their preparation over-
tures were made to them by the Societe Anonyme de Con-
struction de Tubize to lease the whole of this company's
lines, including the new lines, to construct the latter, to
pay the interest upon the capital, and supply the necessary
sums for the gradual reimbursement of this capital. The
principal features of the conventions are :—That the West
Flanders lines shall be leased to the Tubize Company from let
Jan., 1865, for the whole duration of theooncession, and for a
rent of £36,000 per annum. During the first six years. how-
ever (which will be the least productive, owing to the fact
that the new lines have to be constructed), the rent will
only be £32,000 for the first three years, £33,000 for the
fourth, and £34,000 for the fifth and sixth years. The
Tubize Company become responsible towards the Govern-
ments of Belgium and France, in lieu of the West Flanders
Company, for the execution of the obligations imposed
upon the latter by the original contracts of the conces-
sions. The advantages of the convention are clearly
shown by the following figures :—ln the year 1362 the
sum available for dividend was £11,967, after discharg-
ing the ordinary cost of working and the payment of
interest on the loan and the prefereneeshares. This enabled
the directors to pay a dividend of Eis 9d on the ordinary
shares. The corresponding amount of £13,266 in 1803 would
again hare allowed the same dividend, had it not been for
the circumstances explained at the last general meeting. The
rent for the first three years Of the hags, after deducting the
expenses for management, estimated at about £3,000 per
annum, and the above-mentioned charges, will leaife a slim
of about £14,750 applicable to dividend. This sum will be
augmented by £l,OOO for the 4th year of the lease, £2,000
for the fifth and sixth years, and £4,000 for the seventh
and following years. The agfeement was ratified on the
10th of June by the Conseil General of the Tubize Com-
pany, and is definitively binding on them ; but, before it
can take effect, it must receive the approbation of the Bel-
gian Government, which the directors have every reason to
believe will be readily obtained.

The London Rifle Brigade have offered a prize
of £5O, to be competed for with the Enfield rifle,
without restriction as to position or ammunition.
The entrance fee is to be 55., the lowest, in com•
prison with the amount of the prize, of any that
is offered to the competitors, and it is expected
that the competition will have the effect of bringing
prominently under notice some bullets of different
form than the regulation ones, but still adapted for
