Death of Sir Archibald Islay Campbell.

From Glasgow we learn the death of Sir Archi-
bald Islay Campbell, Bart., which event took place
at Garscube House on Tuesday. Sir Archibald had
been ailing for some time past, and it was known
in Glasgow a day or two ago that he was in a very
critical condition, and that little hopes were enter-
tained of his recovery. The immediate cause of death
was congestion of the lungs. The deceased gentle-
man was born in 1825, and was consequently only
in his 41st year. He was educated at Eton and
Christ Church, Oxford, and took his degree of B.A.
in 1847. Sir Archibald succeeded his grandfather,
Sir Archibald Campbell. his great grandfather,
Sir Islay Campbell, was Lord President of the Court
of Session, with the title of Lord Succoth, before the
court was split into two divisions. Like his grand-
father, he evinced a delicate taste for, and apprecia-
tion of, the fine arts, as his gallery in Garscube
House bears evidence—being one of the finest pri-
vate collections we believe in Scotland. Sir Archi-
bald was a member of the committee for the resto-
ration of the Glasgow Cathedral, to which work he
gave a great deal of attention, and contributed in a
high degree to the success with which that noble
ecclesiastical structure has been decorated. Sir
Archibald also took great interest in the affairs of
the venerable college, and sat for some time as a
member of the University Court. He entered heart
and soul into the volunteer movement the moment
it was set on foot. He was lieutenant-colonel of
th3lst Lanarkshire Volunteers. The deceased baro-
net was a most amiable, unassuming gentleman,
many of the good qualities of the best of the old
families—not the least of which were his urbanity
of manners to all, and his easy accessibility to the
very humblest. Sir Arthibald married, in 1858,
the sixth daughter of the Marquis of Westminster,
but he has left no issue, and his brother, Captain
George Campbell, late of the Ist Dragoons, will
heir the title and estates. He sat in Parliament
from 1851 to 1857 as member for Argyleshire.

.TIIE THAMES EMBANKMENT.—The works at the
Thames Embankment, which have been for the past few
weeks partially suspended, were resumed yesterday morning
with renewed activity, additional stonemasons, bricklayers,
and other mechanics, and a largo number of labourers,
having been set to work. The filling-in of the space be-
tween the outer or river wall and the shore is rapidly ap-
proaching completion, and the construction of the wall on
either side of the Waterloo Bridge progresses favourably.
In several sections, both in No. 1 and No. 2 contracts, the
superstructure and balustrades aro completed, and the new
steam-boat piers at Westminster and Waterloo Bridges are
in an advanced state.

THE LIVERPOOL MURDER COMMITTED FOUR
YEARS AGO.—At the Liverpool Police-court yesterday,
Robert Reid, a tinker, was brought up on remand, on a
charge of stabbing and killing his wife in a court off Thur-
low-street., Liverpool, in Dec., 18G2. The prisoner was
arrested in New York on the 18th of August last by Mars-
den, a Liverpool detective officer, to whom he made a
statement to the effect that he did not use any knife to his
wife, and that if he had done so he could not have slept
quietly all the same night, as he did, with his brother-in-
law. After hearing sufficient evidence, Mr. Raffles com-
mitted the prisoner for trial at the December assizes on a
charge of wilful murder.
[ADVERTISEMENT].—Holloway's Ointment. and Pills—
Outward Sores.—Daily experience confirms the fact which
has triumphed over opposition for thirty years -that no
means are known equal to Holloway's remedies for curing
bad legs, sores, diseases of the skin, erysipelas, abscesses,
burns, scalds, and, in truth, all cases where the skin is
broken. To cure these infirmities quickly is of primary
importance, or the compulsory confinement indoors weakens
the general health. The ready means of cure aro found
in Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which heal the sores
and expel their cause. In the very worst cases this oint-
inent has succeeded in effecting a perfect cure after every
other means had failed of giving any relit.f. Desperate
cases beet display its virtue.

Extraordinary Cure.

A BOY BITTEN BY AN ADDER CURED BY THE

TURKISIi BATH.

For the following account of this remarkable case
we are indebted to the able Superintendent of the
Turkish Baths in Jermyn-street, St. James's :
A poor working-man brought his little boy, aged
ten years, to the bath on Saturday evening, the Ist
inst. The boy had been bitten by an adder on the
wrist of his left arm while gathering blackberries.
Several so-called remedies were resorted to, but still
the boy continued to get worse, when the father
was advised to try the bath. I received the poor
boy and had him undressed at the barrier, and car'
ried into the bath. lle was suffering most severely
through the adder's bite ; the marks of the adder's
teeth were three-quarters of an inch apart, and
about the wound the colour was very black,
was caused by being burnt with caustic by the
advice of a surgeon. The poison which the adder
had inserted in the wound had made its Way tIP
the arm, causing the arm to be greatly swollen, and
under and. round the tender part of the arm-Pi
there was a very red and inflamed appearance, the
skin feeling hard and tight all over the affected
parts. which

After being ten minutes in the hot room the bolt
feeling very exhausted, was carried into the linen
divan, where he rested for a few minutes, after
which he was washed and taken into the hot rota
again, where he remained another ten minutes. 110
was then carried and placed upon the hot marble
when he perspired very freely. Here the poor boy'
cried, and called for his father; I sent for the father,
when the boy seemed to bear the heat and his suffer"
ings more patiently. From the hot marble he Was
carried into the middle hot room ; after this he Was
again washed, and then carried into the radiating
room, where he remained about four minutes, whill
,e
had the effect of causing him to perspire again. II!
was then carried into the cooling room, where he well"
to sleep. At 9 o'clock he was awoke, and though
he seemed very tired and exhausted he said his arm
was not so painful, and that he felt better, but,
at the same time, earnestly implored us not to take
him into the hot room again.
The bath or the heat which the boy had been
subjected to had caused the hard and swollen Part
to feel softer, and had allayed the hiflaM11136011:
the red and envenomed appearance being changed
to a more natural colour. We felt very anxious
concerning the case, and advised the father to bring
him again early on the following morning (SundaY)•
On the following morning he came, and having ea-
joyed a good night's rest and ate a hearty brea
fast, he looked cheerful and better altogether, an
soon began to perspire in the bath, and after being
in rather more than an hour he seemed altogether
improved and went away, the father expressing
many thanks for our kindness, and promising
write and let us know how the boy went on, and
also to express his thanks.

H. SMITH, Superintendent.
The employer of the boy's father has since then,
it appears, written to the Superintendent of the
Turkish Bath, announcing the completeness of the
cure and the gratitude of the family in the folloW"
ing terms :
Knapp Hill, near Woking, Surrey, Sept. 12, 1866-
Dear Sir,—On Saturday, Aug. 25th, I took the liberty
of recommending a Mr. Sawyer (journeyman smith), t°
take his son to you as ho had been bitten by an adder.

...... . . . . • ,
Having read in one of the daily papers that you ha"
bath for cases of hydrophobia, I took the liberty of s`'Dd-
ing the above case . . . . . . •
And now a word as to this especial case. The h°'
5.
father told me ho did not know how to keep life in the
bDy while he got him to your baths, and that you bathe'
the boy for three hours on the Saturday, and again Di;
the Sunday—and that on the Sunday afternoon the ITt
was again with his family, you having effectually broug' s
the poison out of his arm, and that now the father tol
the boy is quite recovered from the poison, and is gettiD„,s
strong. Allow me, in conclusion, to offer my best than
to you, for the kind, prompt, and efficient manner to
which, you have acted in the matter; and, allow rue td
add, the father's and mother's kindest thanks to you, 9D

believe me yours very truly, in the cause of humanity,
GEORGE CLUTTERBUCS•
- Esq., Sec., Turkish Baths, Jermyn-street,

The boy's father has subsequently addressed
the Board of Directors of the Turkish Baths tile
subjoined communication :
