The Metropolis Sewage and Essex Reclamation
Company have made a call of £2 per share, payable
on or before Saturday, Dec. 4, at Messrs. Glyn,
Mills, Currie, and Co., and Messrs. Drummond.
At a general meeting of the shareholders in
Hewitt and Co. an ad interim dividend of 10 per
cent. was declared, free of income tax. It was
stated that the condition of the fleet of fishing ves-
sels was very satisfactory, and the steam vessels
already built had rendered efficient service in se-
curing a quick despatch of fish to market.
PROPOSED PARK AT PECKHAM-RTE.—The preser-
vation of the open spaces of the metropolis on the southern
side of the Thames has stirred the energies of the vestrymen

pointed, with the object of acquiring the smaller commons
adjoining Peckham-rye, and constituting the whole into an
informal park.—South London Chronicle.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE AT SANDRINGHAM.—The
Rinderpest has made its appearance on the Royal
estate at Sandringham. A couple of home-bred stock, bred
by Mr. James Mitchell, of Wolferton, and purchased re-
cently by Mr. Carmichael for the Prince of Wales, have
died from this terrible disease. The herd of which they
formed a part were only brought off the marshes to the
Park last week. At Wolferton the disease was discovered
on Sunday at Mr. Gaylord's, one of his royal highness's
tenants, two bullocks being found on inspection on Mon-
day to be very bad, as also a heifer of Mr. Mitchell's. The
inspector yesterday ordered them to be destroyed. All the
markets and fairs in the district have been stopped. At
Dersiugham, 22 bullocks have either died or been killed,
and several others are infected.

A FARMER WITHOUT ARMS.—The American
Agriculturist gives an account., received from Onondaga
county, New York, of a farmer who was born without
arms. " Instead of appealing to the charitable for support,
he commenced early to help himself. His first property
was a hen and chickens, next a pet lamb, and afterwards a
shaggy colt. He took good care of these, and increased his
stock a little at a time until he became a prosperous farmer.
Having no hands he learned to use his toes, which were
longer than common. His legs were also very flexible, and
by practice he was enabled to readily perform most opera-
tions with ease. He put on and took off his own clothing,
shaved and fed himself, milked his own cows, and took
part in most labours of the farm. He was a terror to evil-
doers, whom ho could punish with severity. He was
powerfully built and possessed of great strength in the head
and shoulders. He would butt like a ram, or seize an
offending mchin with his teeth and shake him with bull-

THE LIFEBOAT PAL3IERSTON.—A benevolent gen-
tleman, a member of the Stock Exchange, hasplaced at the
disposal of the National Lifeboat Institution a sum of £4OO
to enable it to place a lifeboat on the coast to be called the
Palmerston, and to bo stationed at Cullercoats, near the
mouth of the Tyne, in lieu of the former lifeboat there
which was becoming unfit for further service.
A commencement has been made of the works
for the Pneumatic Railway, which is to connect Waterloo
Terminus with Whitehall by means of a tunnel under the
Thames.
LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR RICHARD AIRE; the new
Governor of Gibraltar, has appointed as his aides-
dc-camp Captain Hood, of the 25th Regiment, who was
aide-de-camp to Sir W. Codrington, and Lieut. Bolton J.
A. Monsell, 73d Regiment. As we mentioned some weeks
back, Lieut.-Colonel Pearson, of the Grenadier Guards,
will be his assistant military secretary. —Army and Navy
