TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

Bondville, Tynau, County Armagh, Aug. 29, 1865.
Silt,—ln your impression of 24th August there is a
quotation from the Newcastle Daily Journal, in reference to
the Turkish Bath and the Cattle Disease.

Will you allow me to refer you to the result of my
experience, as communicated to Sir John Fife, under the
title " Four Years' Experience of the Turkish Bath on
an Irish Farm ?" of which I send you a copy in
pamphlet form, extracted from " The Manual of the
Turkish Bath."

Since writing that I have adopted, from Mr. Urquhart,
the use of radiating heat with remarkable success—decreas-
ing the original outlay, time in construction, and current
expenses—shortening the time in taking, and gaining more
marked and rapid results ; besides, providing a much more
enjoyable and enlivening medium to remain in than is to
be procured from other heat.
Both on my own and other farms, where radiating heat
has been introduced according to my instructions, the most
marked success in treating the diseases of inferior animals
has followed.

The symptoms that are recorded of the fearful visitation
now raging in England are such as we frequently subject
to the action of heat, and with uninterrupted success. It
must be high heat-180 deg. to 210 deg. Moderate tempera-
tures won't do. The rapid action of heat on disease ren-
ders it peculiarly adapted to meet the exigencies of the pre-
sent occasion.

Nor need the uninitiated hesitate to try. Skill and
knowledge are, of course, necessary to obtain the most
favourable results ; but, till acquired, intelligent observe
tion will enable one not only to conduct experiments with--
out harm, but with great benefit to the animals operated
on.

After some trouble I have succeeded in getting a heat-
ing apparatus, which will, I hope, fulfil all the conditions
required by the introducer of this cheap luxury and
powerful remedial agent.
I shall feel happy to communicate the information that I
have accumulated by years of experience, from the time
that the first horse ever known to take the bath was
put in by me, at Saint Anne's Hill, County Cork. His
history alone should induce stock owners to learn some-
thing about the bath.—Yours truly,
J. E. SCRIVEN.

[Our correspondent's pamphlet has been more
than once referred to and quoted from in the columns
of The Sun—to the readers of which, therefore, the
above communication will for that very reason
prove doubly interesting, if only as the record of
Mr. Scriven's fresh experiences.---ED. SUN.]

THE Loss OF THE GLASGOW.—Alessrs. Inman and
Co. have presented a valuable watch andchain
Company's
oomCapatain
Grace, of the National Steam Navigation
steamer Erin, as a mark of their appreciation of hlisnseyr's
vices in receiving on board the passengers and crew of the
Inman steamer Glasgow, burnt at sea. The watch bears
the following inscription :—" Presented by the Liverpool,
New York, and Philadelphia Steamship Company to Capt.
R. W. Grace, of the screw steamer Erin, for his humanity
in receiving on board that ship the crew and passengers of
the steamer Glasgow, burnt at sea 31st July, 1865."

Some little doubt begins to be expressed relative
to the ability of Senor Martinez for the difficult
task of conducting the financial affairs of the coun-
try in their present critical and complicated phase.
It is even rumoured that, after the dbsolution of
the Cortes, Senor Salaverria would replace the pre-
sent Minister of Finance.
