VACCINATTON.—The public returns, as far as
they are complete, show that in the year ending at Michael-
mas last the number of persons vaccinated by the public
vaccinators in E gland was but 432,806 ; only 425,739
were successfully vaccinated, and of this number 100,641
were above a year old. Yet the number of registered births
in the year in,the unions making these returns was 685,646,
more than double the number of the infants under one year
successfully vaccinated by the public vaccinators. The
number of the vaccinators was 3,731.

The Court of Assizes of the Gera has just tried a
man and his wife, named Caillau, for the murder, on the
9th April last, of a girl named Marie Estingoy, 15 years of
age. It appeared from the evidence that the girl lived with
her grandfather, Michael Estingoy, a farmer, at Bourcag-
neres. She was the illegitimate child of Estingoy's
daughter, who afterwards married the prisoner Caillau, and
had two sons by him. The mother of Marie Estingoy died
in 1856, and Caillau soon afterwards was married to the
female prisoner, Marie Estingoy then going to live with
her grandfather, who was much attached to her. Caillau
and his wife were highly incensed at seeing Marie thus
preferred to the other grandchildren, Caillau's sons, and
they were frequently heard to utter threats against both
her and the old man, because they feared that he would
give her the greater part of his property. They accord-
ingly resolved to murder her, and accomplished their pur-
pose by drowning the poor girl in a pond near her grand
father's house. The evidence was most conclusive against
the priscners, who were found guilty by the jury, but with
extenuating circumstances. The Court accordingly sen-
tenced Caillau to hard labour for life, and his wife to five
years of the same punishment.
LORD RAGLAN UNDER FIRE. —From the moment
of the first advance of the British troops, and when the
enemy opened their terrible fire of grapeshot, &c., we found
our situation on the mortar battery anything but pleasant,
and, considering the danger we were in, it was wonderful
that any escaped alive. Lord Raglan desired every one,
both officers and men, to sit down, so as to keep under cover
as much as possible, and not to attract the attention of the
enemy by looking over the parapet. But he himself and
Gen. Jones, from the first moment that we came into the
battery until after our troops had retired, leant over and
watched the assault of our allies first, and afterwards our
own. It was strange to watch the countenances of these
two veterans. Perfectly calm and collected, they talk
earnestly to one another, but without any excitement being
apparent in voice or gesture, disregarding alike the heavy
round shot and Minie ball which every moment flew past
them. Shortly after the first advance of our troops, Gen.
Jones, white toeaing over the parapet conversing
with
Lord taglan, was struck on the forehead by a grape shut,
which knocked him backwards, we all thought dead; he
was caught when falling by one of his aides-de-camp, and
gently laid down on the ground. It was a pitiful sight to
see the poor old General with a frightful gash across his
forehead, his face covered with blood, which came streaming
down from the wound. However, to the great delight of
all, upon being given some water, he appeared to revive,
and his wound being dressed, and a bandage placed round
his head, ho shortly afterwards took his place again by
Lord Raglan's side, who, when he ascertained that General
Jones was not mortally wounded, had returned to watch the
progress of the attack.—Letters from Head Quarters.
There is always an alarm set up in some quarter
or another about German influence; and nothing ever comes
of it. For a whole generation there has been railing at the
German party in Russia : there used to be dismal shakes of
the head about a little German. Prince when the Princess
Char Otte was raarUillg, and about a little German Princess
when the Duchess of Kent; `e'as educating the Princess Vic-
toria, and again about him who tilled the post to which
Prince Leopold was destined : we have heard evil bodings
for Portugal, and even for France in the days of the Orleans
rule, on account of their German matrimonial connections;
yet each country is as much itself as it ever was. ch
absorbs and transmutes the foreign element it takes up, and
in this way the Prince of Wales is English and his bride is
Danish not the less for the father of the one and the mother
of the other having come from Saxe Coburg and Heve
Cassel. The Scandinavian connection will be peculiatly
welcome to Englishmen from the deep affinity which 1,000
years have not extinguished. We should have hailed an
amiable and sensible young lady from any Protestant coun-
try, but if we had been offered the choice of her birthplace
it would doubtless have been one of the northern kingdoms
from which the maritime element of our national character,
with all its perdurable virtues, was derived.—Once a Week.
Two days ago a little girl living iu a house Rue

on the pavement, and immediately got up without assist-
ance ; the only injuries received were a few slight bruins 1

BERLIN, SEPT. 18.

In the sitting of the Committee on the Military
Budget to-day the Minister of War said that in
adopting the amendment proposed by Herr von
Vincke the Government had made a concession,
which he hoped the committee would recognize as
a basis for bringing about a reconciliation between
the Chamber and the Government. Such a result
would be joyfully hailed by the Government and
the country, as averting a deplorable complication.
The Minister further said that the discussion of
the Budget of 1862 was independent of that on the
Budget of 1863. The Government, for technical
military reasons, could not give its adhesion to
Herr Stavenhagen's amendment as applied to the
Budget of 1863, and would consider itself guilty of
a violation of duty in consenting to it on account
of the present state of peace.
The Committee was of opinion that the explana-

tions of the Minister of War only concerned tech-
nical military objections to the introduction of the
system of two years' service in the army, and that
nothing had been said about a legal settlement of
the question.
All the members expressed their dissatisfaction
with the Ministerial declarations, and Herr von
Tweston declared that further discussion would be
fruitless.

The Minister of War finally said that the Go-
vernment would be mindful of its promise to bring
about a legal settlement of the question.
On the motion of Herr Hoverback, the com-
mittee unanimously declared that the declarations
made yesterday and to-day by the Government
were not calculated to bring the debate on the Bud-
get to an end,

BERNE, SEPT, 18.

The following is a summary of the circular note,
dated Sept. 10, addressed by Gen. Durando to the
Italian representatives abroad. After recapitulat-
ing the history of the Garibaldian enterprise, the
note continues :

"The facts will leave none but a painful recollec-
tion. That union was not disturbed affords a proof
of the political maturity of the Italian populations,
their attachment to the Constitutional Monarchy,
and the discipline of the army.
"Nevertheless, the watchword of the Volunteers
was truly the expression of the imperious necessi-
ties of the nation which cla'ms its capital.
"If Garibaldi has been resisted, it is solely be•
cause it is convinced that the Government will
attain its end, and that the Catholic Powers, France
above all, will recognise the danger of maintaining
1 the antagonism between the Papacy and Italy.
" The present situation is no longer tenable, and
would end by involving extreme consequences, corn
promising the religious interests of Catholicism
and the tranquillity of Europe."
