Councilman.

A. wardmote of the inhabitants of the ward of Coleman-
street was held yesterday afternoon, at the ward school-
rooms, in London-wall, for the purpose of electing a fit and
able person to be of the Common Council for the ward for
the remainder of the year 1865, in the room of Edwin G.
Fox, Esq., resigned. The meeting was presided over by the
Lord Mayor, and was very numerously attended.
Mr. T. JONES, the ward clerk, having read the precept,
The LORD MAYOR opened the proceedings by stating that
the meeting had been called to elect a gentleman to repre-
sent the ward in the Court of Common Council, in the room
of Mr. Fox, who hadabsentsd himself from the discharge of
his duties, and had thereby become disqualified.

elected to fill up the vacancy. He said that that gentleman
had filled all the parochial offices in connection with the
parish of St. Stephen, Coleman-street, in the ward, and
that he had been a resident amongst them for a period of
80 years. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. HATCRETT seconded the nomination.

Mr. WlLcox returned his acknowledgments for the
honour which had been conferred upon him that day. He
said he was quite aware that the duties which had to be
discharged by a member of the Corporation of the first city
in the world were by no means unimportant, but that, on
the contrary, a large amount of time and attention to sub-
jects of public interest and importance were required. Ho
added that ho would endeavour to discharge the duties of
the office in such a manner as to give general satisfaction ;
and he said he should oppose to the utmost any attempt on
the part of the Government to interfere with the principles
of local self-government which were so dear to English-
men. (Cheers.)
Mr. Under-Sheriff RAWLINGS, Who bad announced him-
self as a candidate, but had retired in favour of Mr. Wilcox,
also addressed a few words to the meeting. •
A resolution expressive of thanks to the inhabitants to
Mr. Fox, the late member, was put and adopted, and a vote
of thanks to the Lord Mayor for presiding brought the pro-
ceedings to a close.

Earl Russell hasFOREIGN-OFFIC received the following despatch from
her Majesty's Ambassador at St. Petersburg :
St. Petersburg, Oct. 3, 1865.
My Lord —A farmer in the interior of the Empire has
addressed to me a letter, requesting that the greatest pos-
sible publicity may bo given in England to the treatment
for the cure of the prevailing cattle disease adopted by
him with marked success on two several occasions.
As, under the present unfortunate circumstances, the
result of the writer's long experience may possibly b
found of use, I beg leave to forward herewith to your
lordship the letter in question, together with a translation.
—I have, &c.,

(Translation.)
• Talnoe, Set 8, 1865.
Sir,—l beg to be allowed to make known fopr. the benefit
of all a remedy against the " Typhus Bovilis," nuw raging
in England. When this disease broke out in the Ukraine
durit, the Crimean War, it was of such eminent service to
me that of 600 head of cattle I lost but 6 per cent.
The remedy is simply the following: As soon as the first
symptom of the malady (dryness of the skin) shows itself,
the diseased animal should be placed in a vapour bath and
rubbed down, the moist temperature of which should be
such as not to cause too great a difficulty in breathing.
Then the animal should be rubbed dry, covered over with
several woollen blankets and put in a stall thoroughly
sheltered from draughts, the greatest care being taken to
prevent its catching cold. This is of the utmost import-
ance in the treatment. Cooling draughts and food easily
digested were then given to it by me.
This simple treatment has already twice saved me in
Russia from great losses.
For:the last 31 years I have farmed and bred cattle.
The last 13 I spent in Mecklenburg, and the last 18 in
Russia, where I managed the large estate of Count A. Bob-
rinsky. I then remained abroad for a short time, and now
for three years I lease a farm belonging to Count P. Schou-
valoff. Both estates are in the Government of Kieff.
From my heart I trust this simple treatment may be of
as much service to my fellow farmers in England as it has
been to me, and I entreat your Excellency in the general
interest to cause the greatest possible publicity to bo given
to this treatment.
The vapour bath I used was of a very primitive con-
struction, and consisted of a room, the floor of which
was not level but raised at one end, so that the animal
could be brought by degrees into a higher temperature.
The steam I obtained by means of au oven covered with
iron plates, on which water was poured after the room had
been already heated to a temperature of 35 degs. Reaumur.
