some concourse vet 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-
PAux.—On Saturday a sensation was created in the neigh-
bourhood of St. James's pars 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 entangled in some
weighty substance, and a park constable having his attention
drawn to the fact procured a long-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 engagod
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
to the
e
matter. The head was minutely examined by A
and Mr. Smith, and although it appeared to have been Wakley
the water some time, serious marks of violence could be
detected about the skull-cap and across the bridge ge
eanedf the
nose. The skull was driven in on the right
se-
verely fractured, and there was a deep fracture observable
across the nose on the left side. The injuries were such as
would be produced by a large-headed hammer, or some such
deadly instrument ; and the flattened nature of the skull
whence the fracture arose showed that some bhutt weapon
had been used. The coroner and
nature
Smith were so struck
with the serious and suspei of the injuries, that
they directed the ornamental at er to be carefully dragged,
and the park constables with several assistants were engaged
throughout the day in aade.avouriug to discover any further
traces of human remains, but nothing could be found,
