SERIOUS MILITARY AFFRAY.—A rather serious
affair has just been brought under the attention of
the Berks county police. It appears that on the Ascot Cup
day Corporal Brown, of the Ist battalionColdstream Guards,
was on the race-course with some of his companions, and
while there a gentleman who had been rather lucky in his
winnings treated the soldiers to champagne and other re-
freshments, and before he quitted their company gave them
some money, which the corporal took charge of. The cor-
poral and his comrades then left the course to return to
their barracks at Windsor, and nothing more seems to have
been heard of the party till the Friday morning, when it is
stated the corporal was found in Queen Anne's Ride in a
drunken condition by two soldiers of the Ist Life Guards.
They left him, and he was nest seen by one of his com-
rades, and at two o'clock was again found by some of the
Life Guards. He was able to walk to the military infir-
mary, when it was found that the poor fellow had received
a fracture of the skull, about two inches long, from which
the brain protruded. In the course of the day he became
insensible. He states that the wound was inflicted by ono
of his comrades, while, it is supposed, they were returning
through Windsor Great Park ; and that the corporal and
another man fought with their belts or bayonets, espe-
cially as another soldier is confined to the barracks from a
wound in his head. Yesterday morning it was feared
that the affair would terminate fatally, and it was thought
advisable for a magistrate to proceed to the military hos-
pital tci.take the corporal's depositions ; but he being better
in health the depositions were not taken. 4istrict inquiry
will doubtless be made by the military autilgat4s.

Mr. LAYAILD then moved the second resolution, which
was to the effect that excavations of the nature proposed
would tend to throw a light upon the archaeology of the
Jewish people. No country should be of so much interest
to us as that in which the documents of our Faith were
written, and the momentous events they describe
enacted. At the same time no country more urgently
required illustration. The face of the landscape, the
climate, the productions, the manners, dress, and modes of
life of its inhabitants, differ in so many material respects
from those of the western world, that without an accurate
knowledge of them it is not too much to say the outward
form and complexion of the events and much of the signi-
ficance of the records must remain more or less obscure.
Even to a casual traveller in the Holy Land the Bible be-
comes, in its form and therefore to some extent in its sub-
stance, a new book. The Sultan, he felt assured, would
give every facility, and he hoped the Government would
contribute towards their fund.

Count VOGEL, the eminent French traveller, said he had
great pleasure in seconding the resolution moved by Mr.
Layard. All that was on the surface in Palestine and the
Holy Land had been thoroughly examined, but the trea-
sures that were at present hidden beneath the surface
remained for the excavators to bring to light.
There must be nothing of a national or ecclesiastical feel-
ing about the matter. What they had to do was to collect
the facts and lay aside the details. He felt the proceedings
would be worthy of the free country whose air he was so
happy in breathing that day for the first time. (Cheers.)
The resolution was carried.

The Right Rev. Chairman then read the following list
of names as those forming the committee :—Patron, her
Majesty. Committee—Archbishop of York, Duke of
Argyll, Duke of Devonshire, Earl of Derby, Earl Russell,
Earl of Shaftesbury, Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe,

Sir R. MURCHISON moved the next resolution, to the
effect that, in addition to the proposed researches in the
Holy Land, it was desirable to carry out a system which
would elucidate the geological and geographical character
of the remarkable region of the Holy Land.
This resolution was also carried unanimously.
Several subscriptions were then made towards the pee-
posed fund; and a vote of thanks to the right rev. chair-
man concluded the proceedings.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.—
About three months ago Robert Patteson, aged 13
years, a son of Mr. Samuel Patteson, of the Bowers, Strat-
ford, was bitten by their own house-dog on the right
hand. Ever since the boy was bitten he has had an idea
that ho would go mad. Caustic was applied to the
wounded part, and every means taken to destroy the effects
of the poison. On Monday last symptoms of hydrophobia
presented themselves, and on Tuesday he became com-
pletely rabid, and at the bare mention of buttermilk and
water was thrown into convulsions• He lingered in the
greatest-agony till yesterday evZi.ls3 S+ T'Lell death put an
end to his gulatipas. -
