RECENT CASE IN BASINGSTOKE.

Jan. 22nd, 1847.—William Painter, a railway porter, at the
Basingstoke Sta Von, and living at Mr. Law's, Chapel-street,
Basingstoke, while taking of Lamb's Vegetable Compound,
passed a tapeworm fifteen feet long? with several hundred
joints. The symptoms that affected him for upwards of eight
years were as follows :—Pain and giddiness in the head, with
dimness of sight and heaviness over the eyes, bad acrid taste in
the mouth in the morning, a sensation of something rising in
the throat, with retchings to vomit, the food appearing to
produce nothing but wind in the bowels, frequently violent
gnawing pain, together with weakness between the stomach
and bowels, aching pains in the limbs, pains in the back and
sides, and scarcely ever felt refreshed from food or sleep. Mr.
Painter states, helms taken various preparations of turpentine,
until he has been laid up with it for a fortnight, altogether un-
able to follow his work, and had consulted every medical man'
not only in the neighbourhood, but anywhere where he could
hear of one that was eminent in the cure of worms. The worm
may be saan by applying to the patient, who will with pleasure
speak to the m►ld action of the- medicines over any other he
has taken. _ _ .

SINGULAR DISEASE OF GROWING TREES.—A por-
tion of the top of a spruce fir may be seen at our office,
bearing a most singular appearance from what is generally
thought to be the effect of some unknown disease. The

or dissipated, and the branches, which in their ramiAca-

singular appearance, which may, we believe, be pronounced
unique. It was obtained, with one or two similar speci-
mens, in a plantation on the heights of Matlock, in the
occupation of Mr. B. Bryan, the Matlock guide.—. De-

A NEW WAY TO EXTORT CONFESSION.—The 2lfoni-
leer Parisien contains the following letter, dated May-
ence, 11th instant :—" On Sunday last, between 8 and 9
o'clock in the evening, MM. Lorentz, a physician, Kau&
ner an architect, anUhling, a master builder, were rz-
turning from Weisenau to Darmstadt. In passing near
the public gardens they were assaulted by three drunken
soldiers wearing the Prussian uniform. M. Lorentz had
a finger cut, M. Kauflner was wounded in the head, and
M. Uhling in the hand. The following day they com-
plained to the commander of the federal fortress of May-
-ence, who caused a search to be made in the barracks, of
the Prussian regiments, but none of the men would be-
tray their comrades. The commander of the fortress
then imagined an expedient which completely succeeded.
He drew up the regiment in the grand square, commanded
them to present arms, and when the command was obeyed,
he declared to the troops that they should remain in the
same position in which they then were until they declared
who were the men who committed the attack on the
three civilians. The soldiers held firm during two hours
and twenty minutes, when six soldiers declared they were
guilty. Their declaration having been confirmed by their
comrades, they were handed over to a court-martial.
IMPORTANCE OF SURPLUS LOCOMOTIVE POWER. —An
illustration of the importance of surplus power in the lo-
comotive engine was afforded in the working of the " Great
f',lritain," one of the broad-gauge 8-feet driving-wheel
locomotives, in its up-journey, on Saturday, from the
Swindon station with the train that leaves Exeter at one
o'clock, p.m. The train is due at Swindon at 5.20, but
did not, from an unavoidable delay at one of the stations,
arrive there till 5.45. The train, weighing upwards of 90
tons, exclusive of engine and tender, left that station at
5.55—viz., 25 minutes after time, stopped at nine stations
—remaining nine minutes at Didcot, five minutes at
Reading, and four minutes at Slough—arrived at Pad-
dington at 8.20 (five minutes only after time), performing,
the 77 miles in 2 hours and 25 minutes, or at the rate of
nearly 35 miles per hour, including the time lost while
stopping at the nine stations. This is an extraordinary
