magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the

it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

INFANTICIDE AND THE BASTARDY LAWS.—Dr.
Llnkester held an inquest on Wednesday on the
body of a male child which had been found murdered in
the Metropolitan Cattle Market. The medical evi-
dence left no doubt as to the crime. The coroner expressed
a hope that Government would take the matter up, as in-
fanticide was on the increase. He wished soma induce-
ment could be held out for servant girls and other women
when pregnant to go into an institution. The bastardy
laws might also be amended. The sum of 2s dd per week

Visit of the Channel Fleet to the Clyde.

The Lord Provost of Glasgow has received the
following letter from Admiral Dacres, C.B. :..
" Edgar, Kirkwall, Aug. 14.

" My lord,—l beg leave to point out to you a great in-
convenience that was occasioned to the ships of the Channel
squadron, under my orders during its stay in Leith Roads,
in consequence of the defective arrangements made by the
masters of steamboats conveying the numerous visitors to
the fleet. Return tickets for the passage to and from the
shore were granted, and the holders were obliged to return
to the shore in the same steamer or steamet s of the same
company that carried them to the ships, other steamers
declining to take them. Thus, in several instances, many
eople w.-re left on board the fleet during the greater
part f the night, much to their own discomfort and in-
convenience, and still more so to that of the officers and
crews. I would suggest that tickets available for all
steamers should be issued, and that steamers should ply
through the fleet until all the visitors are removed. The
ships will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.,
and thus every facility be afforded to those who wish to see
them. I have brought the subject to your notice for such
measures to be adopted as may appear to you best to pre-
vent a like inconvenience in the Clyde. I have wade a
similar communication to the Provost of Greenock.—l
have the honour to be, my lord, your obedient servant,
(Signed) "S. C. DACRES,
Rear-Admiral Commanding„
" To the Lord Provost of Glasgow."

In consequence of the foregoing communincation
from Rear-Admiral Dacree, the Lord Provost o.
with
Glasgow and the Provost of Greenock have had
expedient arrange.

Fatal Boat Accident at Upper Clapton.

Another fatal boat accident formed the subject of
itluAry before Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex
c orate
Cla r, at the High Hill Ferry Tavern, Upper
Pt°l3, on Wednesday night.
It aPPeared from the evidence that on Sunday
last, voile Mr. James Cuthbert, aged 22 years, was
at dinner with
Ald his family at No. 8, Saville-build-
jugs, three young men called, and pro-
posed that e
he oi"lia
go with them en a boating ex-
cursion_ They
%11 went accordingly to Upper
(,lepton, and tee.k
a
boat on the River Lea and
m
rowed to Tottenham they spent the evening
in the gardens, wh,
back the deceased,
who was unskilled inathe eoraing
steered, and Upon rout: management of a boat
. ,
uffie attempted the nice
Horse Shoe Polar, a
sharp angle in the river, l
manoeuvre of turning without
the delay of making
a wide offing- The rowers
going at their
consequently stated that the
conse_wnere
utmost speed, and they
first they knew of anything
boat upset
ing themselves under water.
IttwhteatWhen
going was find-
ing
could not give any idea, as thetirhe
atten-
tion had been fixed on getting along
a aajatd 1i rapid
t t' pace,
adc:-.
John Hawkins, one of the patty,
he came to the surface he saw a boat
tauce with four persons in it. He hailed them ;
fithd, "For God's sake come and save U 9. There ltea e
an
in the water who cannot swim." The boat,
however, only rowed away. Deceased got on the
bottom of the bo-.1: which was upset, ani then, from
sumo unaccouatablo reason, jumped off into the
water and was drowned.
Anotler young man swam ashore, and in a quar-
ter of un hour witness and the other 6urvivors were

get cut.
John Pasco, of 11, Whitmorc-nett2p; Klngs-
land-road, said that he saw the four young Er
struggling in the water, and he hailed a beat, wmch
was only a little distance cd, but the parties said,
" We are afraid to go near," and rowed rapidly di.
Witness told them that two of thoe in the water
would be lost, as they could not swim, but those in
the boat seemed panic-struck, and made off. Wit-
ness had to go some distance before he could get a i
boat and assistance with which to get the drowning
persons out, and meanwhile deceased had perished.
The river at the point in question was 18 feet ,
deep. Al; one o'clock that night thedeceased's cora-
;anias went to his fattz:es hnse and told him Ca :A I

his son had jumped from a boat into the river. The
shock to the family was, as might be supposed,
much aggravated by the consequent supposition
that the deceased had committed suicide.

The Coroner summed up, and remarked upon the
deplorable results of the recklessness with which
young men, ignorant of the management of boats,
conducted themselves on the water.

The jury returned a verdict, "That the deceased
was drowned in the River Lan by the upsetting of
a boat which he was steering."

The report of the directors of this company states that
the weekly traffic as published showed that the Great
Western Railway Company received £53,058, in respect of
passengers carried over the railway from the 10th of
January to the 30th of June. The directors eetimate that
£32,500 is the amount or thereabouts to which this com-
pany would be entitled upon a division of this receipt, pro-
vided for in the heads of working and traffic arrangement,
towards which the Great Western Railway Company have
paid £16,000, a large balance is therefore still due. The
directors recommend the proprietors to declare a dividend at
the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the preference shareß,
and as the accounts with the Great Western are not set-
tled, to limit thedividend on the ordieary shares to the same
rate. The works at Farringdon-street for the commence-
ment of the line through Smithfield to Finsbury are in
hand. The directors are purchasing the I.nd for the line to
the station near Moorgate-street. Up to the present time
no foreign traffic has passed over the line, but the directors
will make every effort to get the traffic of other companies
over the railway upon fair and reasonable terms. The Se-
lect Committee of the House of Lords have, in their able
report, fully recognised the principle upon which this un-
dertertaking has been constructed, and have recommended
that it shall be extended from both Paddington and Fins-
bury, so as to form an integral portion of the large sys-
tem of railway which they describe as desirable for the
general accommodation of the metropolis. The total ex-
penditure of the company to the 30th of June amounted
to £1,473,748. Mr. Fenton, the general manager, states
in his report that the works necessary for the reception of
the Great Northern traffic will be completed in a few
days, and (subject to the usual Government inspection)
he has arranged for the trains of that company to com-
mence running on the Ist of September next. The local
traffic, owing to the want of a station near the centre of the
city, and to the insufficiency of locomotive power and suit-
able carriages, has not yet been developed ; and none of the
through traffic from other lines has yet been carried over
the railway.
London, England, 1863-08-21

At a meeting of the creditors of William Shep-
pard, of Park Mills, Ware, miller and maltster, it
was resolved that Mr. Sheppard should execute a
deed of assignment for the benefit of his creditors,
and the following gentlemen were appointed
trustees—Millis Coventry, Henry Edward Wright,
and George Roffey.
The operations in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets during the last few days have been
rather extensive. Sugars have been in good de-
mand, at slightly enhanced prices, while coffee fully
sustained former values, and there has been an ad-
vance in the quotations of cocoa. At the public
sales of tea prices were about id. per lower, while
a dull tone has prevailed in the
tallow market, the
rates tending downwards for present and forward
delivery.

Visit of the Channel Fleet to the Clyde.

The Lord Provost of Glasgow has received the
following letter from Admiral Dacres,
"Edgar, Kirkwall,Aug. 14.
"My lord,—l beg leave to point out to you a great in-
convenience that was occasioned to the ships of the Channel
squadron, under my orders during its stay in Leith Roads,
in consequence of the defective arrangements made by the
masters of steamboats conveying the numerous visitors to
the fleet. Return tickets for the passage to and from the
shore were granted, and the holders were obliged to return
to the shore in the same steamer or steamers of the same
company that carried them to the ships, other steamers
declining to take them. Thus, in several instances, many
people were left on board the fleet during the greater
part of the night, much to their own discomfort and in-
convenience, and still more so to that of the officers and
crews. I would suggest that tickets available for all
steamers should be issued, and that steamers should ply
through the fleet until all the visitors are removed. The
ships will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.,
and thus every facility be afforded to those who wish to see
them. I have brought the subject to your notice for such
measures to be adopted as may appear to you best to pre-
vent a like inconvenience in the Clyde. I have made a
similar communication to the Provost of Greenock.--I
have the honour to be, my lord, your obedient servant,
(Signed) "S. C. DAMES,
Rear-Admiral Commanding.
"To the Lord Provost of Glasgow,"

In consequence of the foregoing commnnincation
from Rear-Admiral Dacree, the Lord Provost of
Glasgow and the Provost of Greenock have had
under consideration the most expedient arrange.
ment to be adopted, with a view to the comfort and
convenience of persons desiring to visit the fleet,
in order to preserve good order and the public*
peace. ,

the diseased part should be fomented, dried, and iinsa&.
diately well rubbed in the Ointment. This will give
purity to the foul blood, and strength to the weakened
nerves—the only conditions necessary for the cure of all
these ulcerations which renders life almost intolerable. No

the distinctive process ceases, and the constructive business

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Gastein in the Ost-Deutsche Post
says :—" The opinion of Count de Bismark, tending
to decline the invitation to the Congress of Princes,
is said to have been warmly supported by the
Prince Royal. The Prince argued, basing him-
self upon the opinion of the Queen and of his
own friends, that the object of the Congress was
to subalterniso Prussia, and that it was neces-
sary to resist that ' provocation' energetically.
M. de Bismark found himself greatly strengthened
by that unhoped-for assistance."

TAFF VALE.

The report of the directors states that the accounts for the
half-year ending the 30th of Juae show a disposable bal-
ance of £45,919, out of this sum the directors deducted £750
for the depreciation fund, and declared a dividend at the
rate of nine per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock and
51 and C shares, payable on the 7th of September, and upon
the preference stock, No. 1, payable on the Bth of October
next, leaving a balance of £1,344. The new works upon
the main line greatly facilitated the despatch of traffic. The
bill for leasing the Penarth Harbour Dock and Railway by
the company, after a strong opposition in both Houses of
Parliament, received the Royal assent on the 22d of June
last, and measures were being taken for carrying out its
provisions. The directors had proposed to work and main-
tain the Llantrissant and Taff Vale Junction Railway, and
pay to the proprietors 5 per cent per annum interest upon
the share capital, the interest on the debenture debt for the
time being, and en annual payment of £250 for expenses of
management. As a large traffic from the Dare Valley
Railway would travel over the whole length of the Taff
Vale line, the directors proposed to work and maintain it,'
and to offer the company au interest of 5 per cent. upon the
paid-up capital, the current interest on debenture bonds,
and £lso per annum for expenses of management. The
capital account showed that £1,503,365 had been expended,
leaving a balance against the company of £16,600. the
revenue account for the half ye..r ending the 30th of June
showed that £134,732 had been received, and £67,728 ex-
pended, leaving a balance of £67,004.

LLANTRISSANT AND TAFF VALE JUNCTION.

The directors' report states that they have been in com-
munication with the directors of the Taff Vale Railway
Company, for the pm pose of ascertaining upon what terms
they would be willing to undertake the working of their
railway, which, by the engineer's report, will soon be ready
for the conveyance of traffic. The Taff Vale directors have
offered the following terms—viz., that the Taff Vale Com-
pany ehould undertake the maintenanc,, of the Llantrissant
Railway and works, and the the entire management, and
pay the Llantrissant Company 5 per cent. per annum upon
their share capital of £40,000, the interest upon their deben-
ture debt for the time being, with an additional annual pay-
ment of £l5O for expenses of management; the agreement
is to commence with the opening of the railway for traffic,
and to be in force for 10 years. The Llantrissant directors
recommend the adoption of these terms. The capital ac-
count shows that £13,000 has been received, leaving a
balance of £3,733. Mr. G. Fisher, the engineer, reports
that the line will be ready for mineral traffic by the Ist of
September next, and the Llantwit Collieries are prepared to
send coal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

poW-STREET.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—John Barrow was brought
up on remand charged with stealing half a salmon, the pro-
perty of his master, Mr. Groves, the well known fishmonger
of Charing-cross.

Mr. Groves said the prisoner had been in his employment
for some years, at a salary of £1 2s 6d per week, and lately
he had frequently missed fish; and on Friday last observ-
ing that the prisoner had something bulky in his pocket, he
called him into his room, and asked him what he had there?
The prisoner said, " This sir," and produced half a salm)n
from his pocket. It weighed 61b., and was worth 70. He
called a constable (Brown, 518 A) who took the prisoner in
custody. At the station-house he said that he had never
stolen anything before.
The prisoner had been remanded to give Mr. Groves an
opportunity of considering whether he would prosecute at
the sessions. He was reluctant to do so on account of the
prisoner's wife and family; but, on the other hand, felt
that there was some need to make an example, as great
quantities of fish were stolen, and the innocent were often
suspected. This consideration was the more urgent, as at
his first examination the prisoner, in protesting that he had
not stolen anything before, observed that if fish was stolen
he was not the thief.

Mr. Henry asked him if he meant that as an imputation
on any particular person ?

The prisoner, with considerable hesitation, said he had
not intended any such imputation.
After a week's reflection, Mr. Groves came to the conclu-
sion that he was bound to press the case.
Mr. Henry committed the prisoner for trial.

Another fatal boat accident formed the subject of
inquiry before Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex

It

two in the water who cannot swim." The bo"e
however,
only rowed away. Deceased got nu thea
bottom of the boat which was upset, and then, from
some unaccountable reason, jumped off into the
water and was drowned.
Another young man swam ashore, and in a par.
ter of an hour witness and the other survivors were
got out.
John Pasco, of 11, Whitmore-cottages, Kings-

struggling in the water, and he hailed a boat, which
was only a little distance off, but the parties said,
" We are afraid to go near," and rowed rapidly off:
Witness told them that two of those in the water
would be lost, as they could not swim, but those in
the boat seemed panic-struck, and made off. Wit-
ness had to go some distance before he could get a
boat and assistance with which to get the drowning
persons out, and meanwhile deceased had perished.
The river at the point in question was 18 feet
deep. At one o'clock that night the deceased's com-
pinions went to his father's house and told him that
