some concourse yet to occur upon the plains before
Pavia or Piacenza, or even with a scene that may
yet be viewed upon the heights above Montebello.
Wise England, who, by the expression of an unani-
mous resolve, has kept herself without the circle
wherein these horrors are enacted ! Happy Eng-
land, who, while all the rest of Europe is preparing
for destruction or engaged in slaughter, can pro-
claim that she is in peace and good fellowship with
all Sovereigns, Powers, and States, and can give
herself up without a fear or a care to her great
annual holiday.

DISCOVERY OF A HUMAN SKULL IN ST. JAMES'S-
PARK.—On Saturday a sensation was created in the neigh-
bourhood of St. James's park by the discovery of a human
head in the ornamental water. It seems that as some boys
were fishing in the water, a hook became enta.u,,,nded in some
M
weighty substance, and a park constable havings attention
drawn to the fact procured a loner handled rake, and on
drawing. the object to the shore it was found to be a human
head. Mr. Boys, the coroner's officer, who was engaged
with Mr. Wakley at an inquest in the neighbourhood, was
communicated with, and he immediately drew the attention
of the coroner and Mr. Smith, the parochial surgeon, to the
matter. The head was minutely examined by Mr. Wakley
and Mr. Smith, and although it appeared to have been in
the water some time, serious marks of violence could be
detected about the skull-cap and across the bridge of the '
nose. The skull was driven in on the right side and
esese-
verely fractured, and there was a deep fracture observable
urvchab a les
s
across the nose on the left side. The injuries w
would be produced by a large-headed hammer, or some
sktucilli
deadly instrument ; and the flattened nature of the
whence tho fracture arose showed that some blunt weapon
had been,used. The coroner and 'Arr. Smith were so struck
with the serious and suspicious nature of the injuries, that
they directed the ornamental water tolecarefully dragged,
and the park constables with several assistants were engaged
throughout the day in endeavorring to

traces of human remains, but nothing
