HEALTH OF GA.RIBALDL

Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., who is at present at
Spezzia,writes:—" The accounts we receive of Gari-
baldi are less unfavourable than we bad feared they
might be, but doubtless the wound in the foot is
very serious."
Of course we need scarcely remind our readers
that since Mr. Taylor wrote the above he has seen
Garibaldi, and telegraphed regarding his state.

The Cork papers inform us that the project of
the West Cerk Railway is in a fair way of being carried
uut.

Official notice has been published that the
Legislative Chambers of Denmark have been convoked to
meet at Copenhagen on the 4th of October next.
A new journal is about to be published at Nice,
under the title of the France Meriodionale. MM. Alexandre
Dumas, Mery, and Alphonse Karr will be among its
contributors.

A French journal states that Dr. Trousseau (one
of the most eminent physicians in Paris) is going to Spezzia
to see Garibaldi.

CHILD MURDEL—Yesterday information was
forwarded to the different police stations of the discovery of
another female child, brutally murdered, and the body con-
cealed in a hedge in Windmill-lane, a short distance from
the Beddington Railway Station, Croydon. There is no
doubt that a murder has been committed, and every mt..
tion is being made to discover the perpetrators.

MURDER OF A SHIPMASTER.—SHIELDS, Friday
Afternoon.—Mr. Sprague, a shipmaster, belonging to
Brigham, has just died in North Shields from a fracture of
the skull and other injuries sustained in an attack which
was made upon him by a man and a woman in the Borough-
road, last Sunday night. Mr. Erskine Mather, of South
Shields, was also attacked by four ruffians last night in the
same neighbourhood, and robbed of his watch. The villains
are in custody.

A hostile and disorderly demonstration took place
two days since at Ixelles, near Brussels, in front of a house,
Rue du Conseil, in which M. Proudhon, the well-known
French writer, occupied an apartment. It was, however,
promptly put down by the police. Precaut ions were taken
to prevent the recurrence of such manifestations, but they
were rendered unnecessary by M, Proudhon's departure the
next morning. The Brussels journals, which reprehend in
very severe terms the inhospitable conduct of the crowd,
do not specify any cause for the manifestation, but the
reason should probably be looked for in the language of an
article published by M. Proudhon, with his name, in a
Belgian journal, and in which he expresses himself with
great virulence against Italian unity, the Piedmontese
movement, and the whole series of events which have
within the last three years taken place on the soil of
Italy.

MURDER OF A WIFE BY TIER HUSBAND.—OR
Tuesday afternoon the locality of Almada-street, Hamilton,
was thrown into a great state of excitement by a report,
which soon circulated far and wide, that an architect named
Robert Turner, residing in a bye-lane off Almada-street,
had committed so brutal and desperate an assault upon his
wife, Jean Hamilton or Turner, that her life was despaired
of. The circumstances, so far as we could gather, were as
follows :—Turner had come home in the afternoon to his
house, and found his wife quite drunk on the floor, where-
upon he stripped her of her clothes, which he made away
with by burning, and it is supposed that while she was thus
in a state of nudity he maltreated her, her face being much
cut. He then went into a public-house adjoining, and told
the landlady that he had given his wife a good " skelping."
He was tipsy at this time, and desired the landlady to go
in and see if anything serious had occurred. Accordingly
she went in and asked if the deceased would take a glass
of whisky and warm water, but she received no answer.
Dr. Naismith was immediately in attendance, and after in-
specting the deceased, he ordered the husband to be taken
into custody. Turner had taken a remorse of conscience
after he had committed the assault, as partly to revive her
1 from the state he had placed her in, he threw about a dozen
bucketfuls of water about her person. The covering on the
bed whereon she lay was slightly marked with blood, and a
shift, about the breast, and a nightcap were also besmeared
with blood. Drs. Naismith, Lennox, and Wharrie were in
attendance all night upon deceased, who lingered till mid-
day on Wednesday, when she expired. Turner was brought
up before Bailie Thorburn in the police-court, at Hamilton,
on Wednesday, when he was remitted to the sheriff and
committed to prison.—Glasgow Olorniny Journal.

Intelligence has been received at Antwerp that
the Belgian screw steamer, Marie do Brabant, belonging
o the Levant Navigation Company, bad sprang a leak,
and foundered near Alexandria. The crew were all
saved.

Desertion is very common amongst the English
troops at Trinidad. It appears that the soldiers desert to
the Spanish main, where they get good pay to act as drill
sergeants,

NAPOLEON BATHING AT BIARRITZ.—The pie-
torial illustration in Fun representing the Emperor Napo-
leon as bathing at Biarritz, and about to be engulphed in
the waves of popular indignation, so deeply incurred the
Imperial displeasure as to cause the confiscation of the
journal which contained it.
DESPERATE AFFRAY BETWEEN POLICE AND
Mssmes.—The neighbourhood of Kilsyth was on Tuesday
morning the scene of a desperate affray on the occasion of
the apprehension of three men, all named Haggarty (father
and sons), to answer a charge of breach of peace preferred
against them. The prisoners made violent demonstrations
with two picks and a formidable iron crowbar, and threatened
to knock the brains out of the first man who dal ed to enter
the house. They had maintained this menacing attitude for
half an hour, when Sergeant Swan, with great fortitude,
sprang in among them, and with one blow sent the father
spinning into the fireplace, and one of the sons into another
corner of the house, while he himself was hurled headlong
into a bed. The Haggartys soon regained their position,
and, armed again with picks and pokers, made another as-
sault upon the officers, The father, who is an extremely
powerful man, aimed a blow with a pick at the head of Ser-
geant Swan, but Constable Nl‘Gurke warded it off, and in so
doing the handle descended with terrific force upon his
(M'Gurke's) left arm, and broke it a little above the wrist—
the point of the pick entering a wooden post to the depth of
nearly two inches. Old Haggarty was at length, and after
much resistance, secured by handcuffs. The other officers
were in the meantime doing battle with the sons, who, mad-
dened with rage, seized hold of every conceivable article
which could in any way be used in defence. Pokers, picks,
crowbars, and dishes flew in every direction, but the sons
were ultimately secured, and the whole were taken to Stir-
ling, where they await examination. Both the officers and
prisoners bear evidences of a severe and bloody contest.--

DESTRUCTION OF A PAPER MILL BY FIRE.--
About half-past ten on Wednesday night the Blachford
Paper-mill, about a mile from Barnstaple, belonging to
Messrs. W. and J. List and Sons, was discovered to be on
fire. After the lapse of about three-quarters of an hour an
engine arrived, and the most energetic endeavours were
made to extinguish the flames. About seven tons of raw
material, consisting of rags, rosin, alum, &c., were enveloped
in flames, together with all the woodwork of the interior of
the mill. The mill could not be saved ; all that now remains
of it are dilapidated walls and the water-wheel. The ma-
chinery, which on Tuesday was in perfect order, and in
parts highly polished, now looks like a lot of rusty iron.
The damage done has been roughly estimated at between
£l,OOO to £1,200. Adjoining the mill there was a paper-
house, containing about 1,400 reams of paper. This was
fortunately saved. The mill, stock, and machinery were
insured in the West of England Insurance Company and
the Norwich Insurance Company. It is not yet known how
the fire originated.— Western Nornzng

AERONAUTICS.—M. Godard, the aeronaut, has
just made a successful ascension from the Pre-Catalan.
The balloon, measuring 4,000 cubic metros, was inflated in
26 minutes by a new method, that is, by means of heat pro-
duced by compressed cakes of rye straw burnt beneath the
balloon, By a combination regulating the draught of the
fire, the balloon can be maintained at any height, thus
rendering the use of ballast unnecessary. The balloon de-
scended at Sartrouville, opposite Maisons, 20 minutes from
the time of its ascension.

DEATH OF TILE WIFE OF DR. LIVINGSTONE.—
A letter from the Rev. James Stewart, who was sent to
Central Africa on a mission of inquiry last year by the
Free Church, reports the death of Mrs. Livingstone, wife
of Dr. Livingstone, the African discoverer, who died of
fever in the end of April, after seven days' illness.
THE GLASGOW MURDER.--The trial of Jessie
M'Lachlan for the murder of Jessie M'Pherson, a domestic
servant, at Glasgow, was resumed on Thursday. Several
witnesses were examined, and various articles of the pri-
soner's clothing were identified. Evidence was also given
as to the despatch of the box to Hamilton, and the pri-
soner's proceeding there. The trial was again adjourned.
STRANGE DISCOVERY OF A MISSING WATCH.—
The Carnarron Herald states that Mr. Benjamin Jones,
farmer of Nannerch, about two years ago,whilst from home
on election matters, lost Lis watch. Impressed with the
idea that he had been robbed of it, he gave information,
which, with a description, number, &c., daily appeared in
the Police Gazette. A short time ago, passing through one
of his fields, he espied a watch chain dangling from the
cleft in the foot of one of his cows, and upon examination
found his long lost watch imbedded in the fall of a cow's
foot. The farmer himself vouches for the truth of the story.
Extract from the " Official Catalogue of the In-
ternational London Exhibition of 1862"—" Boyer, sole
manufacturer of the eau de Inelisse des Cannes, No. 14, rue
Taranne, Paris :"—The centennial repute of the eau de
snelisse des Carnes has given rise to a host of imitations of
this beneficial cordial. The monks who prepared it never
revealed the secret of its composition, and M. Boyer, their
successor, by authentic documents, now alone possesses the
original recipe. All the compounds which are sold under
this denomination may have the melissa plant for a basis,
but this balm is only one of the elements of which the
genuine Carmelite water of Melissa is composed : most of
the other ingredients, and these the most essential, depend
on his making up, this being the exclusive secret of M.
Boyer, who never confides his composition to any other
hanus than his own. If we are to believe a very popular
legend, and one that passes as probable, from the most
serious researches of medical and pharmaceutical science,
the Carmelite water must have had its origin in the early
history of the Gauls; and the Carmelites, who freely gave
themselves out both as the disciples of the prophet Elijah
and the descendants of the ancient Druids, might have in
a direct manner inherited from the latter the secret of
its composition. What is most positive is, that for more
than two centuries the use of this cordial balm is not
only popular in the highest degree, but that all the trea-
tises on medical science and all professional men have ac-
knowledged and proclaimed its tonic, anti-spasmodic, and
anti-apoplectic qualities. Royal letters patent had, until
1789, maintained its property and exclusive management,
as belonging to the Barefooted Carmelites of the rue de
Vaugirard, grounding, on every occasion, the decision ar-
rived at by the King in council on the report of the aoyal
Commission of Medicine, which the Carmelite water of Me-
lissa was by its properties rendered incomparably superior
to those composed according to the pharmacopoeia, and that
its utility was fully proved. When the Revolution took
possession of the convent in the Rue de Vaugirard, the
monks who survived their order Purchased of the State the
exclusive privilege of working out this most precious cordial-
balm, constituted themselves as a secular and commercial
company, and so established themselves at No. 14, Rue
Taranne, where the last of them died in 1831, after having
transmitted all his rights to the predecessor of N. Boyer,
who has now become solo proprietor and manufacturer of
the Carmelite water of Melissa. M. Boyer has collected in
an interesting memoir all the documents concerning the
history of this cordial-elixir which had been so often and in
vain sought to be counterfeited, and which establish his
rights and prove its hygienic and medicinal qualities, and
which the authors of contemporary medicine have thus
condensed in an extract published in the illoniteur :—" The
success attendant on the use of the Carmelite water is the
II best proof that can be given of its efficacy in a great num-
ber of ailments. A produce, the use of which is continually
augmenting for upwards of two centuries, must produce
undoubted utility; and, in fact, in how many, cases has it
not been employed as a tonic and antispasmodic ? In
cult digestions, in disorders of the stomach, in nervous
complaints, in weakness from various causes and kinds, the
Carmelite water of Melissa succeeds perfectly svell.
It is
not a medicine, and yet it effects as much good as the best
of those dispensed as such. On this aotount it would be
justly entitled to be recommeDde'.., even if time had not
consecrated its use," Pus",aa sors should pay the strictest
attention to the sts7:il, and signature, both on the boxes and
the bottle. in order to be assured of their being genuine,
and as coming from the laboratory of Mr. Boyer, of 14, Rue
Taranne, Paris. Depot in London at Mr, N. A. Whit'
