Naval and Military Intelligence.

Vice-Admiral Lord C. Paget, C. 8., went down
to Woolwich on Saturday, accompanied by his
Flag-Lieut. the Hon. Victor A. Montague (late
of her Majesty's screw corvette Racoon), and Pay-
master Shanks, his lordship's secretary, and hoisted
his flag white at the fore, on his appointment as
Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean.
Capt. George W. Towsey, commanding the flag
ship Fisgard, at Woolwich, yesterday resigned his
command on promotion, and was succeeded by
Commander John Jackson. Previously to taking
his departure a deputation of warrant officers at-
tached to the yard read a memorial to Capt. Tow-
sey, congratulating him on his promotion, and ex-
pressing their regret at his departure.

Her Majesty's steam troopship Fox, Commander
Moriarty, was yesterday taken into basin at Wool-
wich to be docked and to undergo general repairs.
Her detention in dock will extend over a yeriod of
three months, which will give Commander Moriarty
an opportunity of resuming, without inconvenience
to the service, his former position on board the
Great Eastern in superintending the paying out the
new Atlantic telegraph cable between this country
and America, now about to be recommenced. The
Fox is ordered to be undocked on the 11th of Aug.
next.

Her Majesty's ship Vestal has made a trial trip
outsile Pembroke harbour. Her engines worked
very satisfactorily and the maximum speed attained
by the vessel was 13f knots—the engines,which are
of 300-horse power, were manufactured by Mauds-
lay and Co., London.
Private letters received by our Portsmouth cor-
respondent from Valparaiso, dated the 15th of
March last, mention the presence there, with the
United States squadron, of the two turret ship
Monadnock, and state that she made an excellent
voyage out there, requiring no aid from any of her
consorts during the whole time. She encountered
the gales met wit►. as well as the best behaved
ship of the squadron. Her turrets each carry two
15-inch guns, and her sides, as she lay in Valpa-
raiso Bay, were but 15 inches out of the water.
She had attracted very great attention on the sta-
tion, and the general opinion of naval men who had
visited her was that, independent of the good sea-
going qualities which she had been found to possess,
it was a great credit to the American marine to con-
duct so successfully a vessel of the kind on so long
a voyage.
Col. J. Anderson, C. 8., 4th brigade Royal Ar-
tillery, took his departure fromWoolwich on Satur-
day for Leith Fort, and will enter on the command
of the Royal Artillery forces in North Britain this

morning.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Robt. ITarwood, second master,
to the _Mullet; Dr. A. Turnbull, assist.-surd, to the
Plymouth ITospival ; G. J. Roberts, assist.-paymas-
ter in charge to the Mullet; and 11. W. Minty,
assist. clerk, to the Mullet.

BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, on rising to move the
second reading of this bill, said that he would ask of their
lordships to give the bill their most serious attention, as
the subject had excited the greatest attention in Parlia-
ment from its importance, and had been frequently de-
scribed in both houses. Mr. Ewart, in 1864, moved
for the appointment of a committee to inquire into
the subject, but his right honourable friend the
Secretary of State for the Home Department promised that
if the committee were not proposed for, he should move that
a commission be appointed. That commission was issued,
and was composed of distinguished noblemen and gentlemen.
The inquiry was directed to two points, namely, whether
the punishment by death should bo retained, and, if so,
in what manner it should be carried out, and a great deal
of information was acquired beasing on the subject with
with reference to foreign countries. The committee
consisted of twelve members, four of whom were
in favour of the abolition of capital punishment,
but the remainder were in favour of its retention in case
of murder. If their lordships came to the conclusion that
capital punishment acted as the strongest deterrent to the
commission of crime, then it followed that it should be re-
tained for the crime of murder. He considered that capital
punishment did not act as a deterrent to crime, and he
was also of opinion that the infliction of capital punish-
ment was most desirable, as it was calculated to prevent,
persona committing murder, at which they would not hesi-
tate if that punishment were abolished, because criminals
would naturally desire to destroy the principal testimony
that could be adduced against the other crimes, as dead
men men told no tales. He referred to Tuscany, where
capital punishment had been abolished under peculiar
circumstance, but it was a fact that crime had increased,
but in France no less than 25 executions took place
during the last year. The commission divided
the crime of murder into two classes. In the
first degree they considered that where murder, with
express malice and aforethought was proved, capital
punishment should be retained. The second de-
gree excluded malice and aforethought, and in
these cases the commissioners recommended the
substitution of penal servitude at the discretion of the
judge before whom the case had been tried. He said that
he proposed to introduce amendments ,into the bill.
The commission also recommend penal servitude instead
of death in cases of infanticide in certain cases.

LINCOLN.

At a public meeting of farmers and agriculturists, held
in the Guildhall, in this city, on Friday, April 27, convened
" for the purpose of considering whether the present act
granting compensation for cattle slaughtered by order
of the inspectors should be continued after the 10th of
May, when it will expire," the Hou. A. Leslie Melville in
the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the
compulsory slaughter of cattle has been of decided advan-
tage in diminishing the number of cases of cattle plague in
this neighbourhood." " That it is both advisable and ne-
cessary that the Government should continue the powers
of the bill authorising the slaughter of cattle beyond the
10th of May." " That it would be unjust towards those
ratepayers who may hereafter suffer from cattle plague if
they do not receive the same compensation as those who
have already been remunerated." " That this meeting
considers it only equitable that compensation should
be granted to those who suffered from cattle plague
before the Act of the 20th of February came into opera-
tion."

DORCHESTER.

Much excitement was created in this borough on Satur-
day evening last at the intelligence that a most virulent
case of rinderpest had occurred in the immediate vicinity,
several cattle belonging to Mr. Laver, a dairyman, of For-
dington, having been attacked with the discease. About 8
o'clock the unwelcome news was communicated to the
borough authorities, who at once proceeded to the barton
in which Mr. Laver's cows, 18 in number, wore kept, and
Messrs. Redwood and Norris, two veterinary surgeons, im-
mediately expressed their opinion that eight of the number
were suffering from the fatal malady. It has not been
authentically stated how the outbreak originated, but it
is believed to have been introduced by some sheep which
were brought into this district from an "infected place" in
Somersetshire, and which had been turned into a meadow
in Fordington where Mr. Laver's cattle were grazing. On
Sunday the symptomswere considerably worse, and several
persons who visited the spot concurred in the opinion ex-
pressed by the veterinaries ; during the day 12 of the ani-
mals were suffering with the disease, and fears are entertained
that the whole herd will be swept away. Wo learn from the
owner of the cattle that since March the cows had been feed-
ing chiefly on hay and had occasionally been turned into
dry meadows, but that on Monday last they were turned into a
water meadow, and he was of opinion they were suffering
from the symptoms commonly apparent after cattle have
been turned into "lavish pasture ;" the usual remedies were
applied, Mr. Laver entertaining a suspicion that his herd
was suffering frcm plague. The premises have been placed
in the hands of the police, and all communication with the
infected animals had been cut off, as the neighbourhood
abounds with dairies which contain several hundred head
of kine. On Saturday morning the justices of the county
held an adjourned Quarter Sessions at the Shirehall, under
the presidency of Lord Portman, when the boroughs of
Weymouth, Bridport, and Dorchester were "annexed to the
local authority of the county for the purposes of carrying
out the late Orders in Council." Colonel Cox, as the in-
spector-general of the county, reported that no fresh case
of rinderpest had occurred in the parish of Chickerell
since the destruction of the herd of Mr. Eli Rose, and a
permanent committee of magistrates was appointed to
carry out the provisions of the act relating to infected
places and diseased animals.

The Cattle Plague.

Although the cattle plague has considerably declined in
the United Kingdom, its ravages are still destructive, as
will be seen by the annexed recapitulation of the attacks
week by week from the commencement of this year to
April 21:-
Week ending. Current cases. Back cases. Total.
Jan. 6 ... 7,106 1,402 8,508
„ 13 9,213 2,956 12,299

„ 14 2,582 1,738 4,290
„ 21 2,823 982 3,805
The public must not merely look at the current cases, but
account must also be taken of the back cases ; thus the ap-
parent decrease of the disease in the week ending April 14
was nullified by the increase of the back cases,while in the
week ending April 21 the reverse was the fact. It is impor-
tant to observe that the Contagious Disease Prevention
Act is not exactly fully carried out. Thus in the week end-
ing April 21, 137 beasts and cows were permitted to die of
the disease, although legally every animal attacked ought
to be killed. The recoveries in the week ending April 21
numbered 229, so that in all 366 animals are here shown to
have been permitted to be fresh centres of infection. In
the week ending April 14 the corresponding total was 568,
and in the week ending April 7 451. The question is
whether we shall ever get rid of the cattle plague as long
as a policy of universal slaughter as regards infected ani-
mals is not enforced with rigid severity. Even now the
number of attacks is larger than it was during September,
October, and part of November, when a complete panic
prevailed on the subject.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

th n of A ItTIFICIAL it, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perteely resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distincuislied fro u th' originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever beforo used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation anti mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the 2lloniteur,
says :—" Great activity is being displayed in public
works here, and several of the journals insist upon
the necessity of establishing as soon as possible a
network of railways in Southern Russia. The Rus-
sian Gazette of the Academy announces that the Go-
vernment has recently received offers from English
capitalists to construct a railway from Khatkoff to
Sebastopol, with the obligation to manufacture the
rails and nearly the whole of the rolling stock in
Russia and with Russian materials. As for the road
from Moscow to Koursk, the Government has de-
termined to construct it at the cost of the State.
There is also a question of a system of lines, of
which the sea of Azoff would be the centre. The
commerce of that region has been increasing consi-
derably for some years past, &c. On the shores of
that sea, the four towns of Taganrog, Maridapol,
Berdiansk, and Rostoff form a sort of commercial
association, to which are joined the towns of Hien-
itchesk, in the steppes of Tartary, and of Eisk and
Temriouk, in the country of the Cossacks of the
Black Sea. The Ministry of Public Works and
that of War have arranged to employ during the
course of the present year three divisions of in-
fantry on the earthworks of the railway from Kiew
to Balta."

HARIVICII.

The members of this committee, consisting :of Mr. Ga-
thorne Hardy (chairman), Mr. Sergeant Armstrong, Mr. J.
Floyer, Mr. K. Hodgson, and Mr. Huddlestone, met to-day
for the first time to try the merits of the two petitions
against the return of the sitting members, Captain. Jervis
and Mr. Kelk.

Tho first petition was presented by Mr. M. Wells, one of
the unsuccessful candidates at the last election, and set
forth that, under a statute of Anne, was disqualified from
holding a seat in the House of Commons, by reason of his
holding the situations of assistant superintendent in the
Royal Small Arms establishment and deputy-clerk' in the
office of the Secretary of War. The petitioner prayed that
Captain Jervis's name should be erased from the return,
and his own substituted. The second petition proceeded
from Mr. Burt, M.D., and other electors of Harwich, and
alleged corrupt practices on the part of both members.
Mr. Phinn, Q.C., Mr. Fitzjames Stephen, and Mr. Phil-
brick appeared for the petitioners ; and Mr. Sergeant
Ballantine and Mr. H. James for the sitting members.
Mr. Phium, on opening the case in the first petition
against the return of Captain Jervis, said that the petition
did not involve the usual question which formed the sub-
ject of inquiry of election committees in general. The
whole case would turn on the construction of an old
statute, and ono of more modern times, and the points that
he would have to establish were that the situation held by
Captain Jervis was clearly contemplated in the Act of
Queen Anne, and rendered him ineligible for a seat in
Parliament at the time of the election, and that
duo notice had been given to the electors of
Harwich that it would be useless for them to
record their votes in favour of Captain Jervis. The
learned counsel proceeded to argue the case at consider-
able length, and quoted the authority of some of the
most eminent writers on constitutional law.
The inquiry promises to be rather protracted.

Ments, men of learning, professors well versed in the
sciences, pious divines, and others, are disciples of the new
revelation. Who are you, that you should dare to
scoff at what these eminent men believe ? But Dr.
Samuel Johnson was an eminent man, intellectual, learned,
pious, and he for a time believed in the Cock-lane Ghost.
Does anybody believe in the Cock-lane Ghost now ? 1
will not venture to say that there are not some believers
' still left; for it is an ascertained fact that in the
year 1851 there were several congregations who
met to worship God in the name of Joanna
Southcott. It is quite possible, therefore, that some of the

UNITED GENERAL GAS.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. B. Hudson
in the chair.

The report stated that the profits for the half-
year amounted to £8,949, which added to £2,144
made a total of £11,093, out of which the directors
recommended the payment of a dividend of 20s.
per share and a bonus of 2s. per share, free
of income tax. During the past session the Dublin
Bill for carrying out the arrangement with the
Alliance and Dublin Gas Consuniers' Company had
received the Royal assent ; and at Limerick there
had been improvement.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report and accounts, said there was now no difficulty
in the way of carrying out the arrangements with
the Alliance Company, and the works would be
handed over on the 29th of the present month.
Mesrs. Hawkesly and Barlow had been engaged to
value the company's property, and when they made
their report the shareho iders would be called to..
gether in special meeting to hear the result.
Mr. RHODES seconded the motion.
Mr. LYSLEY, M.P., desired to know whether the
amount the shareholders were to receive depended
upon the result of the examination.
Mr. STEVENSON (a director) said the valuation
was not to be less than £240,000, and not to exceed
£270,000.

Mr. LYSLEY, M.P., was surprised that the board,
seeing their functions were to cease in September,
had not come forward with some proposition for a
reduction in their remuneration.
The CHAIRMAN said the board had the matter
under consideration.

The report was unanimously adopted, and a
dividend declared as recommended.
The retiring directors and'auditors were re-elected
and a vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the
proceedings.

there be any one individual to who'll more than

fallen the labour and the loss, and to him is due the

RICLUIOND (YORKSHIRE)).

Podargus is no good for the St. Leger, for though ho is
working daily with Pedant, he is not doing enough, and
goes lame. To-day they went a mile and a quarter only,
and that very steadily. It is true the moors aro heavy,
but on the eve of the Sellinger he ought really to be in
longer and faster work. Strathconan, on the contrary,
does plenty, and that first class. Lozenge leads him his
canters, and Raunds his gallops, now ; and this morning
the latter took him nearly a couple of miles, the sturdy
grey pulling up sound and well. Lozenge subsequently
schooled Plaudit, giving her a good mile gallop, besides
canters, as she is required to fulfil her Doncaster engage_
ments. Newland did not do much to-day, and El Cid was
kept at home ; but Moldavia, quick March, and &nada
worked freely.

AN OLD AREA SNEAK.

John Durkin, a well-dresed man, and Elizabeth Coley
wore indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house
of Richard Ward, and stealing therefrom two gold brace-
lets and a variety of other articles of jewellry,the property
of Richard Ward.

The prisoner, it appeared, entered the house of the pro-
secutor by some means, supposed the area door, and pro-
ceeded upstairs and stole the property. As he was de-
scending the staircase he was met by the footman, and on
being questioned, ho made a dash past him and attempted
to escape. A very exciting chase ensued, when the pri-
soner was captured with the jewellry in his possession.
The only evidence against the woman was, that she was
seen in the company of the man previous to the robbery.
On the direction of the judge, the jury acquitted Galoy
and Durkin having pleaded guilty, the judge asked whether
anything was known of him. _ . .

Lockerby said the prisoner was first in prison in 1848,
since which time he had been in and out no less than
thirteen times. Ho had been repeatedly flogged, and on
one occasion he assaulted one of the officers of the county
prison, from which he escaped.
The learned Judge told the prisoner he was a most dan-
gerous person to let remain loose on society. He had re-
ceived various sentences varying from two days to two
years, and all to no avail, as the present was his fourteenth
appearance in a court of justice. He appeared to be one of
those persons denominated area sneaks,who, taking advan-
tage of the tempera'?" absence of the servants, entered
houses, and carried off the first thing they could lay their
hands on. It was highly desirable that such robberies as
that to which he pleaded guilty should be punished in a
severe manner, and therefore he should sentence him to 10
years' penal servitude.
