BRIEN.  RUSSIAN ACQUISITIONS ON THE AMOOR.—Russia has obtained a territory more valuable than all the supposed cotton districts of Africa, watered by hundreds of streams flowing into the great artery that passes through its entire length. The climate is good, and well suited for Europeans • its animals belong to both the cold and warm reg,ions while its luxuriant herbage and magnificent flora prove tliat the temperature is neither severe in winter nor excessively hot in summer. It is possible that some of these great plains may be suited for the culture of the cotton plant; if so,f of supply of this valuable product will, ere long, tbee ulfiGmnd a at the Russian ports in. the Sea and in h Tartary-.—From .ritkinson's [AnvEnTisEunra.)—Holloway's Pills. Bilious affections, induced by atmospheric changes or too liberal diet, should be checked at once or serious consequences may ensue. When any one finds his ideas less clear than usual, his eyesight dimmed, and his head i zzy, which indispose him for all exertion, physical or mental, he may be quite sure that he is in immediate need of some cooling and purifying medicine. Let him send at once for a box of Holloway's Pills, which will free him from his sufferings, and speedily renew his usual healthful feelings. If the bowels be irritable, Holloway's Ointment should be rubbed over the stomach and liver every night and morning. It will wonderfully augment the cerrectiTe power of the pills.  TILE _ROAD CHILD 3ItRDER.  Sergeant Williamson, of the metroklitan detective force, has arrived at Road, and is .tively engaged with Mr. Inspector Whicher, Cat. Meredith, chief constable, and other officers of tll county police, in investigating this tragic affair, Mr. Kent, the father of the deceased child and of Miss  Constance Kent, who stands charged with the nurder, accompanied by his solicitor, Mr. William Dunn, of Frome, having obtained an order to visit the prisoner, proceeded to the County Gaol 4 Devizes on Sunday last, but on their arrival the feelings of the father overcame him, and he was unable to undergo the interview. Every possible exertion is being made by the police to collect further evidence, and to find, if possible, the missing nightdress belonging to Miss Constance Kent. It is believed that, if not burnt, it is secreted somewhere in the vicinity of the house, and, with the view of inducing the inhabitants of the village to assist in the search, a placard has been issued, offering a reward of £5 to any person finding the night. dress and delivering it to the police. It is now st posed by persons competent to give an opinion or. the matter that the first intention of the murderee was to have thrown the child down the privy with the object of suffocating it, and that it was exp.lcted the body would have sunk out of sight. The drawingroom -window and shutters are supposed io have bee* opened by some person inside the house to convey the idea and lead to the belief that the child had been stolen. A description of the privy will make this theory better understood. It is situated about 20 yards from the kitchen door, and is surrounded by shrubs, the well or cesspool being of extraordinary size--viz., about 10 feet deep and 7 feet square. At the time of the murder the well contained about 6 feet of waiter and soil, so that had the child fallen through it would at once have been suffocated and sunk out of sight. The peculiar construction of the seat, however, prevented the body from falling through into the cesspool below. The impediment was caused by a splash-board, which is a piece of board fixed from the front of the top part of the seat and extending downward in a slanting direction to within about six inches of the back wall of the privy, the consequence being that the body would not pass through this small aperture. It is supposed that the guilty party, being thus foiled, resorted to the knife, and destroyed. the child in the manner which has been already described. Mr. Edlin, of the Western Circuit, will, it is understood, appear on behalf of Miss Constance Kent at the adjourned inquiry, which is to take place to-morrow (Friday) at Road.
