edited by the author of "S Slick," 3 vols Few reei.ms
are so remarkable for the interest attaching to them.
and yet are so little known as the Backwoods and
Friaries of America, and the author of " Sam Slck"
deserves our thanks for the stories and incidents referring
to these romantic districts which he presents to us in
this new work. There is in it dainty fare for every
variety of literary taste. Humour, pathos, awl vivid
description are Weeded in an extraordinary degree, and
the thrilling aceouets of "moving accidents by flood

A company of Sappers and Miners had arrived at
Scutari, but had no ruining tools.
It was generally thought that the troops would make
an onward move by the end of the week. The men were
in high spirits.
A friend, writing to the Malta Mail, says :—" A
party of the swell mob has arrived, four in number, and
they have taken up their quarters near the barracks
with the view of establishing-a hell. As they are closely
watched it is not probable that they will do much. Per-
haps they will think better of it, and front to the rear as
soon as we break ground fir Adrianople."
Yesterday three more Russian prizes, the Patrioten,
Adele master, captured in the Gulf of Bothnia ; the
Victor, Lane master; and the elEgir, Andra, arrived off

THE MILITIA.
During the past week the Ist and 2d troop of the let
Devon Yeomanry, under the command of Capt North-
cote and C:ipt. Arland, have assemb ed at Killerton-
park, near Exeter, for drill and exercise. They were
inspected by their new Adjutant, Capt. Little, who ex-
pressed himself in very favourable terms of the appear-
ance of the men and their horses. Several other troops
of the Devonshire Yeomanry have also been called out
during the week, and their soldierlike appearance has
called forth general approbation.
As the men of the lstWest York Militia were leaving
Poetefract station on Tuesday, after having completed
their term of duty, they crowded round their Colonel,
the Hon. E. G. Monckton, cheering him voc:ferously,
and inquiring anxiously whether he had nut orders for
theta to be kept up. On getting into the railway carri-
ages they renewed their clatnours, and declared their
readiness to go back again to their duties if the Celenel
would give the word.
The Carparthenshire Militia has assembled at Car-
merthen for 28 days' training. The troops are quartered
in the barracks, which will be occupied by them, and
garrison duty regularly carried on. The married men are
an exception, however, as they, with their families, are
allowed to reside in the town. The regiment met in No-
vember last, since which time it has progressed but little
in volunteers, about 20 tuen havieg left for regiments of
the. line, and about -as-many have since volunteered to
supply their places. The core, is now abont. 200 strong
—being, however, but little more than half the recoiled
number.
The training of the Derbyshire Militia at Derby dur-
ing the week nas been of a most satisfactory character.
Oil Friday drilling was commenced in a field adjoin-
ing the county g iol, and the saute locality was the
rendezvous on Saturday. Oil Monday the men went
through their exercise at Little Chester, and on Tuesday
and Wednesday io a field adjoining the Kealeston-road.
rhe dril ing has progressed very tavoOranly, though the
men have had scarcely any instructions frein the officers
of the line, having bueil almost entirely under the con-
trol of their own staff sergeants ; the on y extra aid
being the assistance of a small body of men who are re-
cruiting in Derby.
The enrolled pensioners of the Derby district, num-
bering about 200, under the command of Captain
Vaughan Jones, have received °Here to assemble at
Derby on Saturday, May 27, for the usual period of
training.
Yesterday Lieutenant-Colonel Beckwith, of the Rifles,
inspected the Royal Sussex Light Infantry Battalion of
Militia (52d), who have volutite-re I their services for
permanent duty under the command of the Duke of
Richmond. They were exercised in ball-firing at targets,
in which they displayed much skill.
The Royal Lancashire Militia were inspected yesterday
(Thursday, at Everton, Liverpool, by C.ilotiel De Riney,
the inspecting field-officer of the district. Tile regiment
is about 1,200 strong, and regular training and discipline
have materially increased toe soldierlike appearance
and capacity of the men. The Artillery Regiment of
the Lancashire Militia have also greatly improved. So
perfect, indeed, have they become that they are said to
be quite competent fur garrison duty. Tuis evening the
officers of the militia and artillery will entertain the
Mayor of Liverpool (Mi. J. B. Lloyd) and other gentle-
men at the Adeiphi Hotel.
On Tuesday the first regiment of Staffordshire Militia
was reviewed at Lichfield by Colonel lteid, tue Inspec-
tor-General of the district, a-sited by Captain Smith,
of the Pensioners, as aide-de ea,tiip. The manner in
which the several movements were executed was highly
creditable to the regiment. The second regiment was
reviewed by Colonel Reid on the previous day at Staf-
ford, and gave great satisfaction. Lieutenant-Colonel
Lord Uxbridge (late Lord Paget) has not been able to
rejoin his regiment this weak; -'but has found an able
substitute in Major -Dyott.
Colonel Bush inspected the East Kent Militia early
this week at the rear of the Canterbury Barracks. The
battalion wa,s drawn up in line, and, after going through
the u-cal preliminaries, was put throu,ii the manual
and pletoon exercise by Majn. Moults. At the conclu-
sion of the exercise the regiment, consisting of between
600 and 700 men, formed into a square, wuen Colonel
Bush addressed them encouraging terms ;he strongly
urged them to volunteer into the line.

THE LATEM Ys7 EMUS DEATif AND ILLEGAL
BURIAL AZ' O.4JIDES-701VS.

On Monday, Mr. Wakley resumed and concluded, at
the Bell and Crown, King-street, Camden-town, au
adjourned inquiry, touchpig the death of a male infant,
whose body was discovered in the garden of 14, Har-
rington-square, which house, it appeared, was in the
joint occupation of Messrs. Jones and Reeves, professors
of the butuos,pathic qstein of medicine. The facts, as
elicited on the first day's inveetig awn, have already
appeared, and therefore it will tie only needful to
draw attention to the principal features of the case.
Information having been left at the coroner's office
that a child had been very mysterwu-ly buried in the
garde.' of 14, Harrington-square, the coroner directed
his summoning officer, Mr. Davis, to go and search the
garden, which resulted in the discovery of the body in a
very decomposed state. -From subsequent inquiries, it
appeared that Mr. Reeves procured the body, as he
himse4 stated, for auatoedeal purposes, from the mother,
whom he atteaded in her confinement, and who resided
at a Mr. Os whi's, 33, Wellington-square, Chelsea, her
name being Fanny 13athwicke, and single. The child,
when born, was in a very weakly condition, according
to Mr. Reeve evidence, which was also corroborated by
Mr. Waldegrave, p aochial surgeon, who pe: formed the
examination after the body had been discovered, and who
gave it as his opinion that the child died from natural
debility. The investigation was adjlurned in order that
a chemical analysis might be performed, and on the re-
aserubling of the jury yesterday, Dr. Glover. of the
Royal Free Hospital, who had been instructed to perform
the analysis, deposed that after making the strictest ex-
amination, he had failed in detecting the slightest trace
of poison, and he was therefore, weighing the whole
' of the facts together, of the same opinion as Mr. Walde-
grave, that the child died from natural debility.
In the course of some observations between the coro-
ner and Mr. Reeves, it appeared that that gentleman
was not, as he stated on the first day's inquiry, a gradu-
ate of the University of London, as lie had only passed
one examination, which did riot entit!e him to that de-
gree, and therefore the coroner remarked that, far from
being a doctor, as he called himself, he had not the
slightest qualification by which he could be recognised
as a medical practitioner in this country.
The Coroner then summed up at great length, com-
menting on the principal portions of the evidence as
bearing on the case. He considered the conduct of
Mr. Reeves anything but proper, and who, for
the sake of the medical profession of the country,
he was happy to find was not one of its members.
If such a practice as that exposed were made common
amongst persons who called themselves medical attend-
ants, it would be a premium for immorality and crime ;
for what woman who was immorally inclined would
stay at slaying her infant; when she found she could so
easily dispose of the body ? He also considered that
in that case a great want of parental feeling had been
shown by the deceased's mother, who, not caring
what became of the body of her unfortunate offspring,
gave it ruthlessly away, not minding how it was dis-
posed of.
The jury, after three-quarters of an hour's delibera-
tion with closed doors, returned the following verdict :
—" We, the jury, find that deceased, the male infant of
Fanny Bathwicke, died on the 4th of March from the
mortal effects of natural debility, without either its
birth or death being registered acc,irding to law, and we
are of opinion that the conduct of Charles E Twin Reeves
was very improper and reprehensible in the case."
The inquiry then terminated.—Morning Advertiser.
