SIR HENRY LAWRENCE.

The following letter has been addressed to a con-
temporary :

Sir,—the British public aro hardly yet aware of
the real extent of the loss of such a man as Sir Henry
Lawence at the present time. His statesmanlike
and military foresight was at least equal to the gal-
lantry be always displayed in the field.
The following extract from a private letter will be
read with interest :
"The revelation that will soon be made if Luck.-
now be relieved will certainly raise Henry's reputa-
tion higher than it stands even at present, for all
will feel that to him its successful defence is mainly
due. Six weeks before the outbreak there were no
more defences about the Residency or its magazine
than that about a house in an English gentleman's
par ,k • but Henry was not new to this let-be sys-
tem, which prevails through India as at home, and
among his first proceedings on taking up his post
at Lucknow was that of putting the Residency into
a defensible state. The defences were afterwards
much added to, but what would have been the
state of things there had an ordinary man been at
the head ?"

Your obedient servant, K. T.

THE Minim NEAR HALSTEAD.--Thning the inquest,
Superintendent Andrews, of the Norfolk police, came
up from East }fading, in consequence of a similar out-
rage, though happily not attended with death, having
been committed there, it is suspected by the same parties.
The description given of these men in the Police Gazette
is as follows :—One about 25 or 26 years of age, 5 feet
6 inches high, dark complexion, small whiskers, and
ear-rings; dressed in a blue Guernsey, cord trousers,
black cloth cap with peak, and strong navvy boats.
The other 28 or 29 years of age, 5 feet 9 inches high,
much pock-pitted, light complexion, little or no whiskers;
dressed in a velvet-sleeved vest, light fustian trousers,
low crowned brown
apparently trampinghat, and strong navvy boots ; both
railway labourers. There exists a
strong feeling in the minds of the public that a liberal
-
reward should be offered for the discovery of the crimi-
nals, and local efforts would no doubt be made to aug-
ment the amount, if necessary, as much alarm is evinced
throughout North Essex at the extreme boldness of the
attack, and the facility with which they appear to have
escaped for the present the punishment of their double
crinie.—Clielmsford Chronicle.
CASE OF TRANFUSION.—The delicate and interesting
operation of transferring blood from one place to
another has again been successfully performed by Mr.
Wheatcroft, surgeon, of Cannock, assisted by Mr. J.
Blackford and Mr. Samuel Wheateroft. The patient
was Mrs. Benton, of Canno. When apparently ex-
to. flow,. and the ebbing of life was
piring from less of. blood, about 21b. of blood was trans-
fused from the veins of her husband into her veins, with
apparently certain and approaching
the happiest result. In a few minutes alter the current
all other means have failed.—
Wolverhampton checked, the thbeegcairuculation being re-established, and de-
liverancefrsoeincured. The operation was performed on
dissolution
the 28th alt. Mr. Wheatcroft suggests the trial of this
operation in the last stage of low typhus and the collapse
