Diphtheria—Scarlatina.---The first is an old disease, under a
new name, and in nature very closely allied to scarlatina/
hence scarlatina and diphtheria are always companio!ist
when the former is malignant. The high rate of mortality
from these diseases is causing considerable alarm, wind'
might be moderated or extinguished were all cases
suffering from throat affections subjected to the preserva-
tive powers of Holloway's preparations, which almost
miraculously allay fever and inflammation, arrest and cilre
ulceration, and restore vigour to the heart, lungs, brains
and liver. The infant at the breast may safely be rubbed
with Holloway's Ointment to prevent these complaints,
which are particularly fatal in childhood, where this con-
servative remedy has been thoughtlessly neglected.

Middlesex, Thursday, February 17, 1859,

as a protection, when he pushed her violently for-
ward, and she fell down in the mud. He then pressed
his knees upon her, and pressed her down while he
turned out the pocket of her dress. Fortunately
she had only 2d. and a bunch of keys in her pockets
her purse being inside the bosom of her dress. She
caught his hand in her pocket, and when she got
up she missed the 2d., and her keys were lying on
the ground. As he went away she saw 1101
look into his hand, as if he was seeing what he
had stolen. She called out loudly for the police,
and the prisoner returned and knocked her
down twice. The first time he knocked her down
with his fist, and the second time he pushed
her down violently. He also threatened with an
oath that he would knock her teeth down her
throat if she made a noise. The prisoner was per-
fectly sober.
Police-constable Turner said he took the prisoner
into custody at the corner of Camden-place, and
upon taking him to the complainant at her house,
she immediately identified him.
The prisoner denied the charge, and Mr.
Ingham fully committed him for trial.

MACHINE FOR _MAKING HORSESHOES'

An ingenious machine for this purpose has been
been erected at Chillington Ironworks, in this town,
by the inventor and proprietor, Mr. Henry Burden?
of Troy, in the State of New York, and the pro-
prietor of an ironworks in that town. Mr. Burden
is a native of Dumblane, in Scotland, and from his
early youth showed considerable aptitude for me'
chanical pursuits. From an account published of
his career in the New American Cyclopeedia it
appears that he is the author of numerous valuable
inventions, including a machine for making the
double-headed spike used extensively on the Anie"
rican railways ; and a self-acting machine fox
reducing puddlers' balls into bloom, which is being
largely used in that country. As early as 1835 he
took out a patent for a machine for making hors?
shoes, which he improved upon in 1843, and this
was turned to practical account by the production
of a considerable number of horseshoes. The present
machine, however, which was patented in 1857, is
entirely different from the former ones, and is a
very remarkable piece of mechanism. In the pre-
vious machines the piece of iron bar of which the
shoe was to be made was rolled into shape before
being bent, and the pressure of the rollers being
in the direction of its length, the bar, when it was
pressed, was naturally rather extended in length
than width, and the widening which is required at
the crown of the shoe was not properly effected.
By the present plan the bar, after being heated,
enters the machine by a feeding apparatus, a piece
of the required length is cut off, and, by a stroke
from a piece of steel, shaped like the inside of a,
horseshoe, is bent, and falls upon a die on a wheel
beneath, corresponding to one on a cylinder above,
and thus acquires by pressure the desired shape,
two lateral strikers at the same moment hitting
the extremities, or heels, of the shoe, and driving
them inwards into the required shape. Thence 1t
passes between another pair of dies, where it is
stamped, and by an ingenious arrangement is flat-
tened from the curled shape which the wheel eves
it as it falls at the mouth of the machine. The shoes
thus made are remarkable for their exactness in shape
and in the position of the holes—a most important
point with regard to the safety of horses' feet ; and
they can be produced, when the machine is in pro-
per order, at the rate of 60 per minute, which Is
more than two men can forge in a day, and the
superiority over shoes forged by hand is very strik-
ing. As the bar is bent before being pressed 10
the die, the pressure at the crown is in the direc-
tion of the width, and hence the widening is readily
effected. The machine is secured by patent in this
and in most of the countries of Europe. It has
been erected at Wolverhampton as a central and
suitable place of inspection both for this country
and
for any: persons on the continent who may de-
sire it, the inventor desiring to sell his patent rights
in Europe. The United States Government pur-
chase the shoes thus made for the supply of the
cavalry of the States.— Wolverhampton chronicle.

At the market this morning there was a moderate OUP:
ply of wheat, for which the trade was rather inactive, P
last week's currencies. Barley in fair supply, and all sir
perior qualities realised high prices. Oats were difficult
to dispose of, at late rates. Beans a small show, and very
little change in value.

DUBLIN--FEB. 15.
With only small supplies from farmers, the wheat shovr
is but moderate ; the trade, however, rules slow, and the
business done is at Friday's rates ; Oats and barley in fair
supply, and easier sold. Black oats in demand for shirr
ment to France. In Indian corn there were scarcely any
transactions, with no change in value.
