DEATH OF LADY KINDERSLEY.—Lady Kinders-
ley, the wife of the Vice Chancellor, died at an early hour
yesterday morning. Her ladyship had been ailing for some
time past, but no immediate serious result was anticipated.
For the last few days she had suffered slightly from a cold;
but it was thought to be so trivial that his honour sat as
usual in the Court of Chancery on Tuesday.

The directors of the Electric) and International
Telegraph Company have resolved to recommend
that the proprietors, at their next general meeting,
confirm a dividend of £3 10s. per cent. for the past
half-year.
The Patris publishes the following curious state-
ment :—" Every one knows that wool is a most
valuable product and adds millions yearly to the
public wealth, but a recent chemical discovery
shows that it contains a substance hitherto
wasted, from which a considerable further profit
may be obtained. This substance is commonly
known by the name of yolk or grease, and, ac-
cording to persons who have studied the ques-
tion, it amounts to nearly one-third of the gross
weight of the fleece, Until lately this yolk has
always been washed out of the wool and thrown
away. But now chemists purchase the lye in
which the wool has been washed, and obtain from
it a dry residuum by evaporation. That residuum,
on being calcined in large retorts, produces a
great quantity of hydro-carburetted and ammo-
nical gases, from which ammonia and carbaretted
hydrogen are obtained by various processes,
while alkaline salts are extracted from the resi-
duum left in the retorts. These salts chiefly
consists of carbonate of potash, and about
175 grammes 'are produced from every four
kilogs. of wool. In the course of a year about
10 millions of kilogrammes of wool are washed
at Rheims, 15 millions at Elbeuf, and 2 millions
at Fourwies, from which total of 27 millions no
less than 1,177,750 kilogrammes of pure potash
may be obtained, worth, at the average price
of Americas potash, about 500,000 fr. Unfo,--
tunately, but little of the water used in washing
wool is at present turned to account, MM. Man-
mere and Rogelet being the only persons as yet
engaged in the trade. These gentlemen are of
opinion that the 47 millions of sheep in France
would produce sufficient potash for the whole
consumption of the country, which at present
draws its supply of that article from North Ame-
rica and Russia."

COLONIAL GOVERIs

MENT SECU

The Duke de Malakoff, Governor of Algeria, has
just addressed to the prefects of the colony a circular
to be communicated to the journals published in
the departments under their administration. In
that document his Excellency complains of the
conduct of the Algerian press, accusing it of iniuse
tice towards the home Government by continually
demanding fresh advantages, and at the same time
intentionally avoiding all mention of those which
have boon conferred. After referring to the tole-
ration which he has always exercised towards the
press, the Governor mentions the remarks made
upon the railways of Algeria as an example in sup-
port of his allegations of ingratitude, and concludes
by calling on the journals of Algeria to abandon a
policy whic is offensive to the Government, and
contrary to truth.
TuE ALLEGED POISONING AT HAYLE.—In con-
nection with the charge of poisoning preferred
against Mr. Millett, surgeon, of Hayle, some singular
coincidences have been brought under our notice, which
may lead to the inference that the family of the deceased
were peculiarly liable to sudden death, from constitutional
or other causes. We are informed that the Hayle station of
the West Cornwall Railway is situate on the estate of Pen-
pol ; the residence called Penpol House is very close to the
station, and has been the seat of the Milletts and their an-
cestors for many generations, The last owner and occupier
was the late Rev. J. C. Millett, who was found dead in his
bed on the morning of the 13th of January, 1848, after the
family had breakfasted. He had been a little unwell from
indigestion, and was on sick diet the day previous, and took
in bed, on retiring to rest at night, a breakfast cup of arrow •
root and brandy. The next morning he was found dead
exactly in the same position as that in which he placed him-
self after taking the arrowroot. Ho slept in a room alone.
A coroner's jury, at an inquest held at Penpol, on the 15th
January, 1848, decided that the cause of the sudden death
of the Rev. John C. Millett was "eating too heartily," and
they returned a verdict accordingly. Miss Jane Millett,
daughter of the Rev. John C. Millett, was found dead
in her bed at eight or nine o'clock in the morning on the
18th June, 1848, but no inquest on her body was thought
necessary. It is now stated that the contents of the stomach
of the deceased gentleman concerning whose death the pre-
sent investigation is being made were sent to Guy's Hospi-
tal, L)ndon, for analysis by Dr. Taylor. The learned pro-
fessor was out of town at the time, and it is asserted that
the result of his examination is not yet known to any one in
Cornwall, and that it was not as the result of his discoveries
that the accused was arrested. Concerning this, however,
there are contradictory statements.— Western Morning
News.
