CATTLE DISEASE.

The foot and mouth complaint has been known in
England for some thirty years, and at various times
its ravages have been very extensive. It first appeaml
in 1839, was very severe in 1840, there was a second
outbreak of great extent in 1845, in 1852 the disoas
spread over a great part of the country, and ten year
later it was so prevalent as to excite general attention.
These repeated visitations have so increased the stock
of information respecting this complaint, that its
attacks have in great measure lost their terrors. The
Field, in an interesting article on the subject, endea-
vours to chew that the present outbreak, though
it has spread to eleven counties, from Northumber-
land to Kent, really presents no cause for alarm.
The disease since its first appearance in Engltud
Imes never wholly left us. It is not fatal, though
productive of much loss and annoyanc.c. And though
It is highly contagious, it may yet be pre-..ented. The
emggcsts that all newly-purchased :Jock shonl.l

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent ''e' support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions aro received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co.;

RECIPROCITY.

The people of Preston have met and passed a
resolution, attributing the distress in various manu-
facturing districts to the English system of Free
Trade without reciprocity—of admitting foreign
goods into England duty free, whila similar privi
leges are not conceded to British produce in other
countries. The principal speaker was a Mr. Chap-
man, who based his argument on the fact that our
imports largely exceeded our exports. To revive
British industry, he argued that the taxes should be
taken off sugar, beer, tobacco, &c., and put upon the
productions of the foreigner. The meeting, which
numbered COO or 800, was all but unanimous.

NEWS TRANSMISSION.

Such are the wonders of the electric telegraph that
the result of the International Boat Pace was made
known at New York about four hours before the
crews started ! The victory of Oxford was announced
on the other side of the Atlantic at one o'clock in the
afternoon of Friday. This represents six o'clock by
Greenwich time, the difference of course being due
to the more westerly position of New York. It is,
however, really a marvel of science that the issue of
a race, which commenced at fourteen minutes past
five, and lasted twenty-two minutes, should be known
across the Atlantic by six.

THE SERVICES.

There are one or two items of army and navy
news in the " service " papers which deserve men-
tion. There is, first, a statement of the Army (lad
Navy Gazette that the committee sitting at Green-
wich Hospital to investigate and dispose of the
claims of the pensioners do not find any indisposi-
tion on their part to accept the Admiralty terms,
which are augmented in cases where there is a medical
certificate to the effect of complete incapability to
assist in their own maintenance. The residue may be re-
tained in the present infirmary, or dispersed to the naval
hospitals at the seaports. The Admiralty possess
rower to adopt either of these courses, and either
would soon leave the Government in posses-
sion of an empty house. The secret of the future
of this institution must shortly be divulged.—lt is
said with an air of authority that Colonel Shaw's gun-
carriages have been adopted for use on shore by
the Royal Artillery.—The Duke of Argyll and Mr.
Cardwell have appointed a committee to consider
the question that has arisen on the supersession of
colonels of the British army by those of the Indian
army. The President is Sir W. M. James, and
both services are equallyrepresented by the members
of the committee. Mr. John Milton has beer
appointed secretary.

The season of complaint against abuses has set in
with the naval and military class, as in other
portions of society. The superb, gaudy, but perfectly
useless dress of the cavalry is again the subject
of criticism, and a light dress is recommended.
The arms of the same regiments are ridiculed, and it
is earnestly urged that the time is come when the
lance, &c., with which some showy corps are provided,
should be substituted by weapons in accordance with
the progress of military science. The facility with
which soldiers can obtain lo.ided weapons is generally
condemned. More consideration for the medical
departments is demanded. kn appeal is made for a
reform of the pension law ; the special alteration
required is that men losing their health by service in
India shall not be discharged without compensation
upon their return home, Lastly, there is a grum-
ble that the New Zealand medal is not yet ready for
distribution.

MORE ECONOMY.

Economy, strict and impartial, is still the absorb-
ing pursuit at
.the War Office. Though the mania
for reductions which prevailed some time back has
subsided, there is still a desire in that department to
keep down expenses ; and the Broad Arrow an-
nounces that the authorities have decided upon
cutting down the amount of stationery now issued at
the public expense to staff and departmental offices.
Each clerk, our contemporary adds, is to be supplied
with four dozen pens a year and four lead pencils,
but no more, and the issue of needles, pins, knives,
scissors, rulers, and " Imperial Calendars" is to be
entirely discontinued. It is further enjoined that the
strictest economy should be exercised with regard to
writing-paper. Letters on the public service arc to
written on half-sheets.

THAMES.

Samuel Hollis, a boy 14 years of age, wa s brought up
on remand, before Mr. Benson, charged with improperly
assaulting Mary Wimshurst, a child 7 years of age.
Mr. Moore, prosecuting officer of the Associate Institu-
tion for Enforcing and Improving the Laws for the Pro-
tection of Women and Children, watched the case. The
parents of the child and boy live in cottage-street, Poplar.
The prisoner inveighled the;girl into a dirty and unoccu-
pied house in Cottage-street, and there he committed tho
assault complained of. The mother of the girl finding her
daughter's shoulders, hands, face, and arms very dirty
and her dross in disorder and covered with dust, questioned
her, and she stated what the boy had done. Ile was im-
mediately arrested, and the evidence of the girl, confirmed
by other witnesses, was very conclusive ; but fortunately
the young libertine did not materially injure the girl.
Mr. Benson said the boy was a very wicked and preco-
cious boy. He would not send him to the Sessions and
put the girl and her mother to the inconvenience and pain
of repeating the evidence, but dispose of the case sum-
marily. Ile sentenced the prisoner to two months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.

TILE FRENCH ATLANTIC CABLE.

Mr. Varley, the Railway .Kews understands, has
gone to J3rest for the purpose of remedying, if
possible, the fault in the French Atlantic Cable.
Should he succeed, the achievement will be marvel-
lous indeed. The locality of the fault is accurately
known, and Mr. Varley hopes to be able by some
very clever manipulation of electricity to produce at
the precise spot of the fault an effect similar to
electrotyping on the surface of the conducting wire,
and by this means to prevent the escape
to earth of any portion of the electric
current. To repair a flaw in a cable at the
bottom of the Atlantic, and at a point 1,000 miles
distant from land, without raising the cable, will be
something novel even in these days. Mr. Varley, it
will be remembered, is the inventor of the " light
wire," which promises to effect a revolution in sub-
marine telegraphy. Instead of manufacturing a
cable coated and protected by iron wire, thereby
greatly enhancing the cost and increasing the weight,
Mr. Varley proposes to simply enclose the conduct-
ing wires in hempen strands, made up as an ordi-
nary hemp rope,

A BrsT.TISII WORKMAN.

The yacht match at the Ramsgate Regatta was
won by the Enigma. It is interesting to know that
this craftis owned by Ilenry Thornton, a working man,
who was his own designer, modeller, builder, rigger,
and sailmaker. He also sailed his yacht himself, and
won the race by thirty-five minutes. Mr. Thornton
has constructed his craft on an entirely new model,
working at her clay and night for the past eighteen
months between the intervals of his ordinary duties
as lighthouse-keeper. The math at Ramsgate was
his trial trip. _

~r, TE GRENVILLE MURRAY CASE.

This morning, Mr. Montagu Williams made an applica-
tion to allow TAO rocognisauces of the prosecutor, in a
charge of perju ty arising out of the Grenville Murray case,
to be postponed' till next session.

The &feudal it was ono of the bail for Mr. Murray,
and the questio u was whether he was in the waiting-
room of the I 4arlborough-street Police-court ou
particular day, al 5 prosecutor being a police-constable
named Roskelly. The charge was investigated by Mr.
Knox, the n►agistr; ite, and dismissed, but the prosecutor
insisted on being bound oTor to prefer a bill at this ses-
sions. Tho groun di of the application for a postpone-
ment was the absencas ,of a material witness for the pro-
secution. _

Mr. Besley strongly opposed the application on behalf
of the defendant, ant: said that after the case had been
fully investigated nal dismissed by Mr. Knox, it was a
vexatious proceeding to prefer a bill against him.
The Common Sergetwt declined to interfere.
Mr. Montage Williams subiequently ma le en applica-
tion that the recognisance.; of the ;prosecutor should be
discharged, as he said it wont.' be no use going before the
grand jury in the absence of the witness referred to.
The Commo❑ Sergeant said ho had no objection to this,
and the matter was thus brought to an end.

A CHRISTMAS-BOX roit CITRATES.

The Bishop of Cashel has bestowed a seasonable
present upon the curates of his diocese. They are
each to receive before Christmas from £5O to £75 at his
hands. The disestablishment of the Irish Church has
called forth this immediate generosity. The Bishop
had made arrangements for giving them each, by
his will, a token of remembrance ; but, in the altered
circumstances of the Church, he thought it better—
and the curates will not question the wisdom of the
more mature decision—to hand the gift over to them
at once. He has accordingly directed the amount to
bo paid over. It is varied in proportion to the claims
of the respective recipients, some receiving £5O,
others £l5.

Cubans, Mr. Aaron Gregg, the United States Consul, made a
speech, in which he expressed his conviction that Cuban
independence would be recognised. He did not speak
from, conjecture or speculation, but from certain know-
ledge of the American people and their sentiments. The
Americans would prefer that the Cubans should become
independent of all other nationalities, but if they gained
their independence, and then thought fit to incorporate,
the American people would be glad to receive them.

GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.

The accounts of this company for the half-year
ending the 30th of June last show that £53,193
had been received for passengers, £417,903 for mer-
chandise and live stock, £1,364 for rents, and
£2,161 for sundries—total, £674,622. The tota
working expenses amounted to 455,959, or 67.59
per cent. of the receipts, and the renewals of per-
manent way, &c., to £77,039, together £532,998,
leaving the net revenue £141,624. From this was
deducted £17,205 for postal and military revenue,
£24,841 for discount on American currency,
£18,277 for interest on loans and debentures, and
£62,545 for rents of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence
and Detroit lines (in full), payment to Montreal
and Champlain Railway Company and Equipment
Bond interest, leaving a balance of £18,755. The
accounts between the Buffalo and Lake Huron
Company and Grand Trunk Company were stated
to be in abeyance pending a settlement of open
questions under the agreement between the two
companies. The total expenditure on capital ac-
count to the 30th June amounted to £18,144,173,
including £44,593 during the past half year. Mr.
Child, an auditor of the company, who made a spe-
cial journey to Canada to investigate the accounts,
states in his report that he had satisfied himself
that the system pursued throughout the entire esta-
blishment in Canada was such as to insure an am-
ple check, and that all revenue was duly accounted
for; and the receipts, although largely in excess
of the corresponding period of last year, would
have been very much greater had the com-
pany been possessed of more rolling stock, without
materially enhancing the working expenses. Dur-
ing the half-year he had duly verified the charges
against revenue ; and with regard to the supply of
stores, it was perfectly clear to him that the prac-
tice had been to accept the lowest tender that bore
within itself the assurance of satisfactory execution.

With regard to the rates charged. be states that
they were undoubtedly low, and that the Cana-
dians got their traffic carried at lower rates than
most other communities. The local rates were
somewhat better in winter, owing to the ab-
sence of competition by water. As regarded the
through traffic, it appeared to be a necessity for
the company to cultivate it, the Grand Trunk
being the longest route, in many instances,
between the West and the Atlantic, its executive
had little option left but to follow the lend of the
great American lines. He concluded by stating
that frcin the way in which Mr. Morlaud conducted
his audit in Canada he was convinced that so long
as Mr. Morland's servic_•s could be retained there
would be no necessity for any other inv,stigation iu
Canada. lie regarded the check of one auditor in
Canada in conjunction with the auditor in London
as supplying all that could be desired.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseuses to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
tailed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
cumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from thrir use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. lid., 2e. 91, and lls. each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.

Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the succem of
' Norton's Camomile Pills."

CENTRAL ASIAN EXPEDITION.

The Calcutta Englishman states that Mr. Hayward, the
young savant specially sent out by the Royal Geographical
Society for the purpose of exploring Central Asia,
is staying at Murree, previous to a fresh expe-
dition. He has already penetrated into Kashgar,
from whence he returned safely, being the first
scientific Englishman who has accomplished that feat.
The Central Government has refused to grant him any
marks of special recognition, or any semi-official powers
which might lead to complications with the wild nations
of Central Asia. The Englishman observes that
the enterprise is ono of very great peril, but
that should Mr. Hayward succeed in forcing his way across
the Famir plateau and down the course of the Oxus into
Russia, he will place himself in the foremost rank of the
travellers of this age. The Russians are organising an
exploring party from their own side.

THE CHANCES OF AN IRISH RISING.

The " national " press of Ireland has suddenly be-
come more moderate. It is moderate, however, only
in the discussion of revolt, which is canvassed with a
calmness and precision that may prove
much more effective than the late virulence.
This week, for instance, the People of Ireland
enters into •an elaborate estimate of the
chances of an insurrection. The issue of a struggle
is predicted with confidence. The English soldiers in
Ireland, it is allowed, number 26,000 men, well armed
with Sniders ; but numerous garrisons would be
required for Cork, Dublin, Belfast, and other places,
so that the whole available field force could
not exceed 11,000 men. Large reinforce-
ments could, it is true, be sent over from
England; but, on the other hand, there is a strong
Republican spirit in the greater island, and a power-
ful Irish population in the large towns. Both these
disaffected elements, says the People, would require
watching. Then the English officers are tho-
roughly unequal to their duties, whilst nume-
rous able and experienced Americans could be
found to head an insurrection. " General Cluseret,
who combines with vast technical knowledge an
immense amount of experience, gallica in his African,
Italian, and American campaigns ; General Millen,
now at the head of the artillery of the Mexican
Republic, a profound strategist and thorough Irish
patriot ; Colonel Kelly, who was never seen to fail
when a darinF deed was to be done ; all these, and
hundreds besides, who have seen service in the terrible
war of the Union, would be only too ready to
place themselves at the head of a movement."
Lastly, the English soldier is a machine which works
for itsahilling a day ; whereas the insurgent may be
an intelligent man, and will undoubtedly be brave
because ho will fight with a halter round his neck.
Very true ; but the prospect of the noose being un-
pleasantly tightened may prevent him from fighting
at all.

EAST LON') oN HOSPITAL for CHILDItEN
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend apon more children,
but no more can be admitted 'n the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to cart y out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.
Contributions will be thankfully received by the Trea-
surer, B.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell; or by

ment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal
Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected
system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and
adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve-
ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration
of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such
perfected success (tho result of forty years' practical ex-
perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street. The
superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity

dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected.
Qualities ; These teeth never change colour or decay—in
fit unerring —ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection
impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied—and
youthful appearance restored mastication and articulation
varanteed. The " Times" of March 6 says : —"So good

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC B ALS AM.—AN
EFFECT UAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 13id., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
