ABERDEENSHIRE•

The disease has again appeared in the parish of
Foveran. It was reported by the district constable,
as far back as the 11th inst., that a cow on the
farm of Hill of Fiddes, occupied by Dr. Ruxton,
was observed to be ill, and was separated from the
rest of the stock. On the 14th the animal was
killed, and on the following day another cow showed
similar symptoms. Mr. Hay, the county inspector,
was called on the 17th, and pronounced the disease
to be rinderpest. On Saturday several of the other
animals were observed to be affected ; and on Tues-
day the committee resolved to have all the stock
slaughtered, except the cows in the byres, which
will be allowed to remain until they show symp-
toms of the disease. The cause of the outbreak on
this farm, which is three miles west from Pitmillan,
the last centre of the disease in the parish of Foveran,
is as yet unknown.—Scotsman.

the rate of 41 per cent. on the paid-up preference
capital was recommended, and also a dividend on
the ordinary share capital at the rate of 51 per cent.

of £1,705 for next account. The traffic receipts
showed an increase in nearly every item, but there
had been an increase of expenses. The unusually

The party of non-commissioned officers and
sappers of the Royal Engineers who have been em-
ployed for some time past at Shoeburyness in various
engineering operations will rejoin at head-quarters,
Brompton-barracks, Chatham, this morning, the
works on which they have been engaged being now
completed. Among the other engineering opera-
tions carried out by the sappers and miners during
the time they have been doing duty at Shoebury-
ness has been the enlargement of the practice range,
along the shore, for the trial of the largest descrip-
tion of naval ordnance, an uninterrupted range of
upwards of six miles along the shore being now ob-
tained. The Royal Engineers were also employed
up the necessary
a portion of their time in throwing
an additional number of heavy guns
Royal Artillery, and the detachments attached to
the School of Gunnery.
An order was yesterday received at the head-
quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment,
Chatham, directing a detachment of non-commis-
sioned officers, selected from the companies at
head-quarters, to proceed on Monday next to
Southampton,
there to embark for Bombay, to join
the companies of Royal Engineers serving in that
Presidency.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, haVe been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager &e.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of younc, women, chiluren, and orphans
&re, for want accommodation, refusedadmittanco, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is propesod, as far ifs the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? Tho smallest donation will be most welcomo,
and, night and morning,' the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.

sence before the court by this circumstance. His pre-
sence is still indispensable in Italy on account of
his claim against the Duke of Modena, who owes
him 15 millions of francs; as soon as the suit is
over the Prince will return to France, in order to
answer the charge now made against him. Mean-
time the cashier, Berthome, and the publisher,
Dupray de la Maherie, are taking their trial at the
Paris Sessions. Who is Dupray? When Prince
de Croy Chanel made the acquaintance of the cashier
he was trying to raise funds to buy the park of
Bercy, which belonged to the Nicolai family. Ile
promised to the poor cashier, who had only a salary
of £lOO, the bulk of the patrimony he claimed from
the Duke of Modena—that is to say about eight
millions of francs. That promise dazzled the cashier,
who gave him his financial support. Towards the
end of 1861 Dupray de la, Maherie published a
brochure, entitled " Droits des Carpad," on the
rights of the Carpads. To raise the funds to pay
for publication, and to provide for the expenses of
his lawsuits, the Prince had obtained 155,300 f. from
Berthome. The publisher; Dupray, was also in
want of money, and the Prince introduced him to
his good friend Berthome. Dupray began by per-
sonally guaranteeing the advances made to the
Prince by Berthome, whose confidence was thus in-
creased. Then Dupray directly borrowed from the
cashier large sums of money. The unfortunate
cashier, deeply involved in the affair, involved him-
self more and more every day, by the delusion that
the continuation of his support was necessary to
recover what he had already lent ; but he only
made the abyss more deep. In a word, he engulfs
more than three millions of francs. What had be-
come of tht money ? The Prince does not answer,
being out of the pale of the law. The publisher,
whose defence has been entrusted to Barrister La-
chaud, so celebrated since the affair of Lafarge,
asserts that he has lost millions of francs in Catholic
publications. It is said that the eloquent and fiery
preacher, Father Felix, had recommended Dupray
de la Maherie to the noble subutb of St. Germain
in particular, and to the Roman Catholic world at
large

Mr. C. W. Field and the Atlantic Cable.

The New York Tribune gives us the following
chapter in the history of Cyrus W. Field, in con-
nection with the Atlantic Cable, that may have a
peculiar interest at this time. M. Field desired to'
change his business, and looked around for some
sphere for his peCuliar talent. Ile called one day
on Moses Taylor, one of our wealthy and public-
spirited men, and proposed to open a new line of
railroad across the Isthmus, and so create a new
line to California.. This new project was opened
in the mind of Mr. Taylor to serious objections,
and, so far as he was concerned, was abandoned.
Soon after Mr. Field called again ; he had now a
project, he said, that was not opened to the objec-
tions stated by Mr. Taylor, and to which Mr. Field
asked attention. It was to purchase the tele-
graph lines iu the Provinces, and connect them with
the United States. The company held a valuable
charter from the New Brunswick Parliament. It
was unable to carry on business, and the whole
franchise could be purchased at a small cost, and,
when put in complete repair, would prove a valuable
investment. The charter was examined and found
not to be satisfactory. But it was said if the
charter cauld be changed and amended, and the
linos put at a low price, the purchase would be
made. Mr. Field agreed to visit New Brunswick,
and obtain the changes needed in the eharter, and
to do this if paid $1,090 and his expenses. The
desired alterations were made. Moses Taylor,
Peter Cooper, Marshall 0. Roberts, Wilson G.
Hunt, and C. W. Field put in the sum of $lO,OOO
each, and became the company.
THE CABLE SUGGESTED.

The success of this line did not equal the antici-
pations of the new company. It seemed likely to
be a failure. The boats had agreed to stop at the
telegraph stations to and from Europe. They did
so for a time. But the fog made the stopping at
times dangerous, and ships: refused to call, and so
business seemed to take its flight from the line.'
Soon Mr. Field met the Company with a new
suggestion, why not lay a cable across the Atlantic,
and so be independent of steam-ships and steam-
companies? Mr. Field was full of it then, as he
has been ever since. He won over his little com-
pany. He obtained subscriptions to stock. He
crossed the water on the one great mission that now
filled all his soul, and to which he has since de-
voted his life.

PARIS, Aug. 24.—Two o'clock.—Business remains
almost at a standstill. A few offers take place, but
there are scarcely any buyers. The quotations are
little more than nominal, the only variation which
has occurred up to this time from the prices of last
evening being in French Threes, which were done
at 69f. 15c., or sc. higher. The same want of ani-
mation characterises the railway market.
Three o'clock.—A slight improvement has taken
place, the closing prices being as follows :

The party of non-commissioned officers and
sappers of the Royal Engineers who have been em-
ployed for some time past at Shoeburyness in various
engineering operations will rejoin at head-quarters,
Brompton-barracks, Chatham, this morning, the
works on which they have been engaged being now
completed. Among the other engineering opera-
tions carried out by the sappers and miners during
the time they have been doing duty at Shoebury-
ness has been the enlargement of the practice range,
along the shore, for the trial of the largest descrip-

tion of naval ordnance, an uninterrupted range of
upwards of six miles along the shore being now ob-
tained. The Royal Engineers were also employed
a portion of their time in throwing up the necessary
earthworks and constructing batteries for =minting
an additional number of heavy guns for use by the
Royal Artillery, and the detachments attached to
the School of Gunnery.
An order was
yesterda received at the head-
quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment,
y
Chatham, directing a detachment of non-commis-
sioned officers, selected from the companies at
head-quarters, to proceei on Monday next to
Southampton, there to embark for Bombay, to join
the companies of Royal Engineers serving in that
Presidency.

HOW PROGRESS WAS MADE.

Mr. Field began the work of raising money in
London. He had to stretch out his hands and lift
up his voice to a gainsaying people. He put a coil
of ocean cable .about his neck, and went from
banker to banker, from capitalist to capitalist,
working day by day, never weary, never disheartened
by refusals. Persecuted or repulsed in one place,
he went to another. Ile gained his point day by
day till the first cable Was sent down to its ocean
bed.

DARK DAYS.
The first failure was repaired and the second
cable took the place of the last one. Weary and
sad, but with strong faith in the ultimate success
of the work, Mr. Field came home after the failure
of the second attempt to lay the cable. Few spoke
words of cheer or hope. The little company who
had raised the infant $lO,OOO up to among the
fifties and the hundreds of thousands had no more
they wanted cast into the depth of the sea. They
regarded the thing as impracticable, and wanted to
hear no more about the cable. But Mr. Field told
the gentlemen that he would never give it up—
while life lasted he would renew the attempt till
it was a success. Like Peter the Hermit he began
the new crusade. Partly from pity, partly from
love of the pluck Mr. Field displayed, from one
cause or another, quite a liberal subscription was
obtained for the third attempt.

pISDERL-NOTICE.--By a new process of
Mr. DISDERI'S the "PORTRAITS CARTS DE
VISITE" are ENLARGED on CANVAS to any size. The
PUBLIC can thus obtain a PHOTOGRAPHIC DRAWING,
by means of which skilful artists attached to the house can,
on simple indications, such as the colour of the complexion,
the eyes a"d the hair, obtain a splendid and truthful OIL
PAINTING.
Mr. DISIDERI'S new process is valuable in this respect,
that it avoids the tediousness of long sittings, and also adds
to the charms of oil painting the great advantages of the
truthfulness and accuracy of Photography.

upon to pay enough during the last ten years to
have a navy respectable in point of numbers, if open
to criticism on some matters of detail. But the
fact is that caution has run mad nowadays and
has become extremely incautious. We are so afraid
of not having the very best arms for our troops,
the very best field gun, that we hesitate, and doubt,
and compare, and experiment, and appoint com-
missions and committees, and write, and talk, and
consider, until an alarm of war comes, and we sud-
denly discover that we have left our army with a
weapon which is admittedly inferior, we have weak-
ened instead of strengthening our fleet, and have
experimented on all our best field pieces until we
burst them Two thousand rounds from a single
gun would play a respectable part in an ordinary
campaign ; but our authorities, in their anxiety to
be sure that the gun will not play false, persist in
firing it until they destroy it. Why, in the name of
common sense, when a gun has been proved able to
do effectual service, should it be doomed to de-
struction ? We shall never have a good supply of
field pieces if this system is continued. England
spends quite enough money to have her defences
thoroughly efficient. it is absolutely disgraceful
that, with her weal, and position, her weakness
should be matter of European comment. England's
time has been lost in experiments and delays. Let
a reasonable place of action be laid down and car-
ried out vigorousiy. We have already expended
enough to give us the most powerful fleet and the
best arm ig the world, and it is certainly not in ac-
cordance with the public wish that, instead of being
in the van, our Government have left us in the rear.

TIIE CABLE SUGGESTED.

The success of this line did not equal the antici-
pations of the new company. It seemed likely to
be a failure. The boats had agreed to stop at the
telegraph stations to and from Europe. They did
so for a time. But the fog made the stopping at
times dangercus, and ships refused to call, and so
business seemed to take its flight from the line.
Soon Mr. Field met the Company with a new
suggestion, why not lay a cable across the Atlantic,
and so be independent of steam-ships and steam-
companies ? Mr. Field was full of it then, as he
has been ever since. He won over his little com-
pany. He obtained subscriptions to stock. He
crossed the water on the one great mission that now
filled all his soul, and to which he has since de-
voted his life.
