London special says: The seventh Inter-
| national Medical Congress closed to-day, and
the members dispersed after the banquet
held at the Crystal Palace. The down pour
yesterday afternoon caused much disappoint-
| ment to the members of the Congress,
especially to the American and Canadian
delegates, who had been invited to attend
Baroness Burdett Coutts' garden party at
Holy Rodge, Highgate, one of the most
beautiful residences on the northern heights
above London. In spite Of the rain over /, coo
delegates and theirwiyes made the pilgrimage
They were debarred by the weather from
enjoying the beautiful park, and were re-
ceived by the Baroness in one of the long
conservatories. Her American husband paid
special attention TO the delegates from the
United States and Canass. Possibly some
of those who enjoyed the Baroness charming
hospitality may have the pleasure Of recipro-
eating when she and her husband pay their
proposed visit to America. BY invitation of
Messrs. Stevens, the ocean cable manufact-
urers, loo delegates of the Congress yesterday
started on the cable construction steamer

The Spanish Royal Family Hearty Re
csption by the People.
NEw YORK, August 10th The Healds
correspondent at Sebastian telegraphs The
King and Queen Of Spain have safely ar
rived in Ferrol, and were received with much
enthusiasm in the Fin Arsenal, where half Of
the actual navy of Spain now lies inactive.
The authorities had prepared the dock yards,
quays and vessels SO as to give the best posi-
bic idea Of the state of the navy A large
force of royal marines and ehasseurs lined
the streets and navy yards. The guns of the
fort doomed forth royal sslutes as the royal
tiagshipappeared at the head of the hsrtor, and
again when the Governor of Ferrol, accord
ing to custom, handed to the King the keys
of the f.rtress. Ferrol is crowded with peas
ants IN strange costumes, talking Lacdel
patois. The Queen stood the fatigue of the
voyage very well. She delighted the Admiral
and sailors by telling them that the scene in,
Ferrol convinced her that Spain was yet
naval power worthy of the days OF the great
armada Of Philip the Third. Their Majes;ies
will be present at the launch of two frigates,
the laying of the keels of two sloops and the
Inauguration of floating dock, before they
leave for Santiago and visit tie ancient
scenes of Gallicia.

on his most recent researches in animal

cattle diseases to minimum. Professor Pas
terr has done, as Sir John Paget explained
in thanking him in the name Of
the Medical Congress for bis address, for the
lower animals what Jenner did for the human
race. France" says Professor Pasteur,
"loses every year by splenic fever animsls
to the value of 100000 francs" In the
course of his remarks he said: Fifty sheep
were placed at my disposal, of which
twenty. five were vaccinated. A fortnight
afterwards the fifty sheep vera inoculated
with the most virulsnt athracoid
microbe. The twenty-five vaccinated sheep
resisted the infection. The twenty-five uu-
vaccinated died of splenic fever within Fifty
hours. Since that time my energies were
taxed to meet the demands of farmers for
supplies of this vaccine. In the space af
twenty. five days we have vsccinated in tbs
departments surrounding Paris more than
twenty Thousand sheep and large number OF
cattle and horses"
