THAMES.

Mr. Selfe, of the Westminster Police-court, and who
was for seven years a magistrate of this court, presided to-
day. There were 22 cases from the K division, 6 from the
H division, and 2 from the Thames division. There are
also 5 remanded cases and 12 summonses to be heard,
besides the cases that may turn up in the course of the
day. A tolerably good day's work is cut out for the magis•.
trate and clerks, but it is comparatively a light Monday,
the number of night charges having sometimes exceeded
50. Mr. Selfe was occupied for one hour in hearing appli-
cations for warrants and summonses, and seeking
advice on subjects of every description. The appli-
cants were about 100 in number, and a ready answer
was required in each case. These matters being disposed
of, the hearing of the n*ht,charges was proceeded, with.

Catherine Pomfret, aged 26, of No. 17, Tredegar-place,
Bow, wet nurse, was charged with being drunk and in-
capable of taking care of herself in the Bow-road.

Charles Loneth, a police-constable, 345 K, stated that
the prisoner's mistress had lately died, and she became
excited and flow to drink. She was making a disturbance
in the Bow-road, and abusing the father of her child about
the time people were going to church. Her language was
very bad, and she collected a disorderly crowd. She was
more excited than drunk.

Mr. Selfe—The charge on the sheet is being drunk and
incapable of taking care of herself.

The constable--She had been drinking.
Mr. Selfe asked if the prisoner had been locked up since
yesterday morning.
The constable answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Selfe said the prisoner got drunk because her mis-
tress died, and some people indulged in habits of intoxica-
tion because there was a marriage, or a child born, or any
event in life. The prisoner had been locked up many
hours, and he would discharge her.
George Sherwood, a dock labourer, was charged with
being dead drunk in the West India dock. He had
boen at work among tho ruins on the quay, whore there
were some thousand casks of rum.
The prisoner said he drank two or three pints of beer
on Saturday. Beer always had an effect on him.
Mr. Selfe—Particularly when you put rum on the top of
it. You are fined ss.

(From the Scotsman.)
The election of 16 Peers to represent Scotland in
the ensuing Parliament took place on Friday in the
Picture-gallery of Holyrood Palace. As formerly
intimated, special arrangements had been made,
under the superintendence of Mr. Matheson, of her
Majesty's Board of Works, for affording increased
and more convenient accommodation for spectators
of the ceremonial than had been given on previous
occasions. In the west end of the apartment a
raised platform had been constructed for the friends
of Peers, and in the east end a similar platform had
also been erected for the public. Along the centre
of the hall ran a table for the accommodation of
the Peers. At the head of the table a chair was
placed for the Lord Clerk Register, who presided at
the election. There was a large and brilliant assem-
blage, the two platforms being completely filled
with spectators, while a large number of seats which
had been provided in the centre of the hall for the
friends of Peers were also occupied.
Shortly before noon, the Lord Provost and Baillies
Cassels, Alexander, Hill, Handyside, and Miller,
attired in their official robes, entered the Picture-
gallery, preceded by the city mace and halberd-
men, and took up a central , position facing the
Peers' table. Revs. Drs Lee and Crawford, Deans
of the Chapel Royal, next entered the hall, and
occupied chairs in front of the west platform. The
Right Hon. Sir William Gibson-Craig, the Lord
Clerk Register, took his seat at'l2 o'clock, accom-
panied by Mr. W. P. Dundas, Deputy-Clerk Regis-
ter ; Mr. Archibald M'Neill and Mr. H. M. Inglis,
Principal Clerks of Session ; with Mr. George B.
Robertson, Deputy-Keeper of the Records ; and Mr.
William Drysdale and Mr. John Adams, jun.,
Depute-Clerks of Session.
The following Peers, 24 in number, took their
seats at the table, the company rising as they entered
the hall :—The Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry,
the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Tweeddale,
the Earl of Morton, the Earl of Home, the Earl of
Perth, the Earl of Haddington, the Earl of Lauder-
dale, the Earl of Wemyss, the Earl of Dalhousie,
the Earl of Leven and Melville, the Earl of Selkirk,
the Earl of Kintore, the Earl of Dunmore, the Earl
of Stair, Viscount Strathallan, Lord Saltoun, Lord
Sinclair, Lord Elphinstone, Lord Blantyre, Lord
Colville, Lord Belhaven, Lord Rollo, and Lord
Polwarth.

Dr. LEE having opened the proceedings with
prayer,
Mr. H. W. INGLIS, Principal Clerk of Session,
read the proclamation appointing the election, and
also a certificate to the effect that the proclamation
had been duly read at the City Cross.
The LORD CLERK REGISTER intimated that Mr.
M'Neill vAmld now call the list of Peers.

Mr. A. M'NEILL, Principal Clerk of Session,
then read the roll of the Peerage of Scotland as it
existed at the Union, commencing with the Prince
of Wales as Duke of Rothesay, and including a
number of extinct, merged, and dormant peerages.
All the Peers present answered to their names,
and when the name of the Earl of Crawford was
called,

Lord BELLIIAVEN said I have here a protest by
the Earl of Sutherland against any Earl of Scotland
being called before him. At the same time I hand
in a proxy from the Earl of Sutherland.

Mr. INGLIS read the document handed in by
Lord Belhaven, which was a formal protest on the
part of George Granville, Earl of Sutherland, against
the vote of any Earl of Scotland being reckoned be-
fore his vote, and claiming precedence over any of
the Earls of Scotland. The protest also contained
a:statement that a similar protest had been made
on behalf of the Earl of Sutherland in 1841.

When the name of Lord Gray was called,

The LORD CLERK REGISTER said he had received
a signed list from Lord Gray, but he regretted that
he could not receive it. Lord Gray had taken the
oath before the Vice-Consul at Dieppe ; but by the
act of 15 and 16th Vict., it was specially directed
that any Peer of Scotland residing abroad must take
the oath before the British Ambassador or Minister
accredited to any foreign Court, or the Secretary
of any such Embassy or Legation. The Vice-Con-
sul not being included in the personages named by
the act, he regretted that his lordship's signed list
could not be received.

The Lord Clerk Register then administered the
oath of allegiance to the Peers, Mr. Inglis reading
the oath, and the Peers all standing as it was read.

The LORD CLERK REGISTER next intimated that
the oath would be sent round for the signature of
each peer, and he requested each peer, while the
oath was going round, to prepare the list of the
peers for whom they were intending to vote.
The votes were then called for by signed lists,
which each peer read in succession and handed to
the clerks. The majority of the lists contained the
names of the 16 peers who represented Scotland in
the House of Lords in the last Parliament, with the
exception that the Earl of Leven and Melville's
name was substituted for that of the Earl of Strath-

more.

In addition to the 24 peers present, there voted
the Earl of Sutherland through Lord Belhaven as
his proxy, and the Earl of Galloway through the
Earl of Selkirk as his proxy.

The following eleven peers also voted by means
of signed lists sent in and duly authenticated ac-
cording to law :—The Duke of Athole, the Earl of
Mar and Kelley, the Earl of Caithness, the Earl of
Airlie, the Earl of Orkney, the Earl of Rosebury,
Viscount Falkland, Viscount Arbuthnot, Lord
Lovat, Lord Torphichen, and Lord Forrester.
The votes having all been recorded,

The LORD CLERK REGISTER said—The votes have
now been summed up, and I have to announce that
the result of the voting has been that the following
sixteen peers have been elected and chosen to sit
and vote in the house of Peers :

No. of Votes.

ceedings with the benediction.

The New Epizootic Disease amongst Horned

Cattle.

We are sorry to find that tile reports which have been rife
respecting the outbreak of a severe epizootic amongst dairy
cows are not without foundation. The first cases are said to
have happened in Mrs. Nicholl's cowsheds at Islington.
They were attended by Mr. Priestmin, aveterinary surgeon
in the Caledonian-road, and he believes that he had seen a
solitary case of the same disease previously in a dairy at
Hackney ; but about this there seems to be a little doubt.
The first cows attacked at Nicholl's sheds were six new cows
which had been purchased about a week previously in the
Metropolitan Cattle Market. Twor or three of these cows
were attacked on June 23. They all had the disease and
died. It is the custom at this dairy to place newly pur-
chased cows in a shed by themselves for a short time ; but it
so happened that in the separate shed kept for this purpose
two or three old cowsbad been placedwith them. The prin-
cipal shed, containing over 90 cows, is airy, habitually kept
clean, and well ventilated, and situated 50 or 60 feet from
the quarantine shed on the opposite side of a paved yard,
on which the dung is heaped before being removed. The
same men who attend to the quarantine shed attend also to
the principle shed. After the new cows the next
attacked were some in the principal shed, the old cows
in the quarantine shed being seized later. The disease
spread rapidly, and it was considered advisable to send the
healthy cows to the fields. Still it spread amongst the
stock, until at the time we write no less than 110 or 115
cows have died or been killekon account of it. Adjoining
the cow sheds are layers, in which cattle are received prior
to the market. Of all the cows attacked only three re-
covered after a fortnight's illness, and having seen them
we can testify that they are in a miserable state of emacia-
tion. Since the outbreak in this shed the disease has
been observed in many dairies, large and small, in the north
of London, and we are informed at the Veterinary College
that it has also proved fatal as an epizootic at Doncaster,
Burton-on-Trent, and in other parts of the country. We
are informed at the Veterinary College, whererinesehsavise
seen a case of the disease, that the course of the i
healthy,
is as follows :—The cow, previously quitenan hour oy;
is suddenly seized with trembling or rigors
two purging of thin, ffecal matter occursfiou;oind,followed by
purging of a thin, watery, brown, serous sometimes.y
course, the milk is at
accompanied with a little blood.
once suppressed. Soon after a seroOufsdischoarg.e takes place
from the nose, and the mucus membranet f. the. nose and
vagina are observed to become denuded o epithelium. Some
times there is tympanitis. Prostration and collapse follow,
the extremities become cold, and subcutaneous emphysema
is observed in the loins. Death usually results in a period
of from 12 hours to seven days. We understand that Prof.
Simonds regards the disease as identical with the rinderpest
or steppe murrain of Russia and Austria. Others regard it as
a typhoid or enteric fever. On examination after death the
intestinal mucus membrane is found reddened, especially
towards the rectum, and Peyer's glands enlarged, and with
this there are emphysema of the lungs and other organs.
From what we have said it would appear likely that the
disease has been imported through the agenoy of Spanish or
Hungarian cattle, which Nicholl's cows must have been in
relation with, either in the market or the layers adjoining
their sheds. There are some difficulties in deciding upon
its spread by contagion alone, inasmuch as in one shed near
the Veterinary College where ten cows were kept which
had not been out of the shed, into which no now Cows had
been introduced, the disease broke out about a fortnight
ago. Two or three cows were seized the same day, and
in a week all were dead. We have made inquiries amongst
the cow keepers at Islington, and find that in one of the
largest sheds, where 400 cows aro kept, not a single case
has happened ; that on the eastern half of that parish no
cases have been found, but that some of the sheds on the
western part of the parish have suffered more or less, some
severely—one cowkeeper has lost all his cows. Several
of the cowkeepers state that they have made up their
minds on the occurrence of the first case to sell off all their
stock. An order in council was issued on the 24th Lust.
for inspection of cattle under the Act of 1850.—Medical
Times and Gazette.

A new, and, if its reported success is confirmed,
a most important remedy for the cure of aggravated
pulmonary complaints, is now being experimented on by
the medical profession in Paris. It is the administration of
raw meat, or of warm blood of animals, to patients in the
last stages of consumption. Drs. Montargis, of Paris, Des-
martis, of Bordeaux, and Foster, of Montpelier, have, each
with some modifications, employed this singular remedy in
their practice, and according to their statements produced
wonderful results. When the warm blood is given, it is
disguised so that the patient is not aware of what he is
drinking. It is also stated to be ve*
eftleacious in scrofu-
lous diseases and chronic dysentery.
