THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1868.

LORD NAPIE.R OF MAGDAL.C_AT-

EDINBURGH'.

On TuesdaY the Lord Provost waited on Lord NajAei Of
atM`Gregor's Royal Hotel, and by request drove
him to various parts of the city. The party went first to the
High School, thence to the University, where they went
through the several class-rooms and visited the court-room
and library. They then proceeded to the Museumof Science
and Art, after a cursory inspection of which they went to
the establishment of the Medical Missionary Society
in the Cowgate. In the whole of this excursion through
the city, Lord Napier, as we understand, expressed great
anxiety to have information respecting the condition of
the humbler classes, and the means adopted for their
social and religious elevation. His lordship had in the
morning visited the castle in order to inspect the accom-
modation of the soldiers in garrison, and, it seems, was not
greatly pleased with various matters which fell under his
attention. He made the observation to the Lord Provost
that the means for recreation, including the arrangements
of the reading-room, were greatly inferior to what he had
noticed in France. The Lord Provost stated that he had
noticed the same deficiency, and that as regards Edinburgh
the consequences were deplorable. The commander of the
regiment which had lately left the castle mentioned that on
arriving the privates in the corps had owned the sum of
£5,000 in the savings bank, every shilling of which was
spent in dissipation during their stay in town, some of
the men spending as much as from £2O to £3O a piece in
two or three days ; facts which spoke strongly as to the
want of healthful recreation in the castle, and the tempta-
tions to vice in the city. On hearing these circumstances,
Lord Napier adverted to what in various ways might be done
to elevate the soldier. His lordship, along with Lady
Napier, left Edinburgh for Glasgow at two o'clock. In
parting from the Lord Provost, Lord Napier said that he
hoped to be able on his return from India to revisit
Edinburgh, in which he now takes a lively and peculiar
interests—Scotsman.

generals, but such reports are quite unfounded. It
was no easy matter to bring about a coalition of the
various political shades, but I think we may rely
on their holding together, at least until their com-
mon object is attained. Besides, how do these pur-
veyors of news get their intelligence about the pri-
vate differences of men whose own friends are with-
out other news of them than rumour supplies.
After the rising at Cadiz there was a vast deal
urgent to be done, and the generals went their dif-
ferent ways in order to do it. They have no time
for bickerings.

(Central Press Telegram).
An alarming accident is reported from Hull.
An old building, described as " Old Sugar House,"
Lime-street, fell at 11 o'clock this morning, burying
no less than 40 persons beneath its ruins. The build-
ing has for some time past been used by Messrs.
Walkers and Smith, for the storage of linseed.
A large quantity appears to have been packed
in the upper stories. The weighb was too
much for the building to bear, and the beams
giving way, the house fell, carrying several
of its neighbours with it. Forty people were
buried in the debris. It is so far satisfactory to be
able to add that three of the men who have been
recovered are alive. Whether or not they are dan-
gerously wounded we are not informed. Two other
bodies, however, had up to one o'clock been extri-
cated, and in each case the accident had proved
fatal. The search was then still going on.

MAIUCE2 DAY.

CORN.

The tendency of the trade in general is rather towards
firmness, but Mark-lane does not participate fully.
English wheat was in small supply, and moved off
slowly at Monday's rates.

There were good arriyals of foreign, but a portion were
already disposed of, and sales wore not pressed at any de-
cline at the same time purchases were made sparingly.
Flour was unaltered in value, and met only a limited
sale.
Malt unaltered.

Beans:and peas fully as dear.

Oats a dull salo, and the tone easier.
Linseed steady.

BO ROUGH HOP.

Henry Turnbull and Co. report that, notwithstanding
the market is largely supplied with new hops, the trade
rules slow, except for choice and good samples, which
fully maintain tho advance of 8s ld to 10s per cwt. last
Monday. Other sorts are in favour of buyers.

ALA EFFECT UAL REMEDY, without confining the

is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects aro truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

'Eno Balm return presents significant evidence of the
low demand for money both in the private deposits
and in the private securities. The former are little
more than a fraction below the amount of last week,
while the private securities have fallen to less than
sixteen millions, an amount at which they have not
stood for the last eight or nine years. The bullion
bow reaches nearly twenty-one millions sterling, and
the reserve is approaching twelve millions and a half,
though an advance of one million has been made to
the Government in anticipation of revenue. These
are the principal changes in the return, and, con-
sidering. the period of the quarter, they are important.

The insurgents in Andalusia are provided with
munitions of war, money, and provisions.
The ironclad frigate Victoria arrived before the
town of Corunna and demanded its surrender. The
Government authorities, however, refused to com-
ply. Almost the whole of the Spanish fleet is now
in the bands of the insurgents, who are expected to
effect a landing in Catalonia.

The Queen has not yet arrived at Madrid. It is
said that in the last extremity she will take refuge
in the citadel of Pampeluna, near the French fron-

GEORGE WOOD, Secretary.
London, England, 1868-09-25

Inspector Owen said he had used every effort to find tile
witness, but had failed.
Mr. Wood said it had been stated that the breaksmen
could be produced. So extraordinary an instance of con.'
tempt of court had never before been witnessed in a court
of justice in England. There were warrants out against
these men, ordering them to appear to answer charges of
the gravest character, and the bench and the public were
told that their solicitor had held communication with th•
chief constable of the county, and had arranged with him
that the men should not be forthcoming till a certain time.
He begged to state that it was his intention to bring
the conduct of the chief constable under the considera-
tion of General Cartwright, her Majesty's Inspector of
Police.

The statement of Mr. Wood was repudiated by Mr.
Lewis on behalf of the chief constable, and the bench
suggested that Mr. Wood had better not bring such accu-
sations against the chief constable in his absence. At this
juncture a policeman entered the room, and said he had
just seen the breaksmen in the neighbourhood of the
court. On being asked why he had not taken them into
custody, he stated that his superior officers were there,
and Constable Lewis, who held the warrant for the appre-
hension of the breaksmen, was also present. The officer
further stated that Lewis did make an effort to apprehend
the men, and that they were motioned away by their
solicitor, Mr. Davies.
Mr. Wood : Mr. Davies is liable to an indictment for
this.

Mr. Davies here entered the room, and the purport of
what had passed was communicated to him. He said
that in performance of his promise to the court he had
brought the breaksmen up from Pensarn in a trap,
in order that they might appear, not as witnesses,
but as defendants on the charge of manslaughter.
He brought them up to the end of the lane near the
court, when he ascertained that they had left something
behind. He got out and told them to wait, and in the
meanwhile two policemen went after them, and they drove
off in the trap.

Mr. George (magistrate's clerk) said it was the duty of
the advocate engaged in the case to aid in every way the
ends of justice.

General Cartwright said that it would be his duty to
cause a strict investigation of the affair to be made.

Mr. Davies was repeating that he had done everything
in his power to get the breaksmen up to answer the charge
of manslaughter, when Mr. Wood, interrupting him, said:
From the position in which you have placed yourself, Mr.
Davies, I think the less you say the better. It is in the
power of my client to put the law in force against Mr.

"NEW NAMES FOR THE NAM—It seems generally
admitted that the monstrous ships which lately have been.
added to the navy are by no means worth the monstrous
sums of money we have paid for them. Our big men-of-war
in armour, which cost half a million each, are said to be as
useless and unhandy in a sea-way as the ob3olete old man in
armour who adorn a Lord Mayor's Show. Yet still we go.
on building them, and naming them the Hercules, the Irre-
sistible, and so forth; as if the use of strong words for their
christening would suffice to prove their strength. Would it
not be wiser to call a spade a spa le, and to name our naval
failures in a way that at a glanoe should designate their
worth ? 'When we launch the broadside iron-clads which
now aro in construction, instead of calling them by names
such as the Powerful, the Valiant, the Dauntless, or the
Thunderer, let us christen them the Wasteful, the Ex-
travagant, the Useless, or the Blunderer. There is small
doubt that the navy will be always dear to England; but
that, pecuniarily speaking,- it is dearer than it ought to be,
the doubt is smaller still. Names such as we suggest
might possibly awaken public notice to this fact, and by
calling ships the Costly, the Gander, or the Jackass, we
should identify them faithfully with blundering authori-
`ties, who sanction tho construction and leave us to pay
their Cost.—Punch,

Mrs. Fellowes, the wife of the member for Huntingdon.
shire, returned thanks for the ladies, proposed by General
Peel at the Huntingdonshire agricultural dinner. The
speech was as follows :—" Gentlemen, in responding on
behalf of the ladies present, I have to thank very cordially
my right hon. and gallant friend General [Peel, for
proposing, and you for receiving, the toast so kindly, for
two causes: first, that my own name 'especially mentioned
in the toast ; and secondly, that here at Ramsay, at my own
loved home, ladies have for the first timebeen invitedtejoin
in your festive meetings. By your reception of us this day
I gather that you like to see us here. I can assure
you one and all that we take the liveliest interest in
everything that concerns agriculture, and we have done
our best to give you here a warm and hearty reception.
I hope this will not be the last time that the Huntingdon-
shire agricultural meeting will be held at Ramsey. Once
more I tender you our grateful thanks." Mrs. Fellowes
was enthusiastically cheered by the farmers.

THE SERPENTINE.—Dr. Aldis, medical officer of
health, has reported upon the impure state of the
water in the Serpentine and the deaths from drowning
there to the Nuisances Removal Committee of St. George's,
Hanover-square, and subsequently wrote to her Majesty's
First Commissioner of Works upon the subject, which has
elicited a reply, signed George Russell, to the following
effect :—" That tin present condition of the Serp nine
and the best means of making and keeping it pure and safe
are now under consideration, but that it is not intended to
undertake any operations of magnitude until Parliament
shall have voted the necessary supplies."
I_ ADVERTISF.NEEXT.I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Dropsical Swellings.—Whatever may be the remote cause
of collections of water in the human body it must be pru-
dent to disperse them as soon as possible. The readiest
means of accomplishing this end are supplied by using
Holloway's ointment to increase the activity of the absor-
bents. When this ointment is well rubbed upon the skin
it removes -all vanus congestion, overcomes all mechanical
obstruction to the free return of the blood, and prevents
the deposit of serum and water. Holloway's pills likewise
augment the absorbing powers, and in many other ways
through the liver, stomach, and kidneys increase the c'ira-
tive powers of the unguent and restrain the disposition to
relapse, remarkably common to this distressing complaint.

THE EFFECTS OF SMOKING ON BOYS.

Dr. Decaisne (Bull. Gael-al de Ther.) in the course of
investigations on the influence of tobacco on the circula-
tion, has been struck with the large number of boys,
aged from nine to fifteen years, who smoke, and has
been led to inquire into the connection of this habit
with impairment of the general health. He has observed
38 boys, aged from 9 to 15, who smoked more or less.
Of these, distinct symptoms were present in 27. In 22
there were various disorders of the circulation—bruit de
souffle in the neck, palpitation, disorders of digestion,
slowness of intellect, and a more or less marked taste for
strong drinks. In three the pulse was intermittent. In
eight there was found on examination more or less
marked diminution of the red corpuscles ; in 12 there
was rather frequent epitaxis ; 10 bad disturbed bleep;
and four had slight ulcerations of the mucous mein.
brans of the mouth, which disappeared on ceasing
from the use of tobacco for some days. In children who
were very well nourished the disorder was, in general, less
marked. As to the ages, eight of the boys were from
nine to 12 years old ; nineteen from 12 to 15. The duration of
the habit of smoking was, in eleven from six months to a
year, and in sixteen more than two years. The ordinary
treatment of anaemia in general produced no effect as long
as the smoking was continued ; but, when this was desisted
from, health was soon perfectly restored, if there were no
organic disease.—British Medical Journal.
