The cable brings us intelligence that a Mrs. Walters, a well known baby farmer in London, has •been found- guilty of murder- ing a number ot , infants entrusted to her care, either by. starvation or poisoning. The particulars of the affair we copy from the. London Times of June 21,. as follows :— Within the last few weeks several bodies of infants were found in the south of Lon- don. They were in baskets, or wrapped in articles of clothing. or in paper- coverings. No clue could be obtained to those who were responsible for them, except that, at -one recant inquest, the name of ' Mrs. Waters' was found to be 'written on the piece of paper in which a child was wrapped. The next scene in this social mystery is opened by an edvertisemeit, which we must quote in full. A.norTlox., .A. good home, With a moth- er's love and care, is offered to any respect- able person wishing her child to be entirely adopted, Premium, 51., which sum, rn- codes everything. Apply by letter only, t Mrs. Oliver, Post Office, Grove Place, Brixton, - (- To the disgrace of journalism, this adver- t servient was allowed to apl,ear-in one week- 1- paper, if not in more, the naine of the advertiser being (constantly varied. Such an imitation appears to tell its own tale, and the police probably surmised that it; :night have some connection with the dis- eoveries of dead childieu. The sulvertise- ment , we have quoted was accordingly an- swered by a seaztyan- bt of police, and in r e ply he received a letter lir which " Mrs. Oliver " displays her command of the lane - gnage of parental affection. It would give her great pleasure to adopt as her own, the little boy, if not too old, and she wishes for one as young as1 possible, " that it may know none but ourselves as parents." " We are both," she sa:°s, "very fond of children, and should you intrustyour little one to our care, you may rely upon his re- ceiving the love andcare of a Mother." She gives an account of her family circumstances trona which it would appear that she liad everything to make her happy except chil- dren. The sergeant then appointed a meeting at n railway station, where he met the per- son now in custody under the name of Mrs. Ellis." After their interview he fol- lowed her, and traced her to a house in Brixton. Simultaneou/ly, he had traced to her home in the -neighbourhood a young woman who had recently given birth to an illegitimate child. His next step was to take the father of this young woma to Mrs. Ellis" house. After some deilial the child' was produced, and was found "dreadfully emapiated and apparently dy- ing.". Further inquiry disclosed a scene which we prefer to leave in the language of the report :— "Witness —"Witness asked the prisoner Ellis if they had got any more children, and she said there were more down stairs. He went down, and on a sofa inthe front kitchen he found five.iufants, about three or four weeks aid, 1 all_Huddled together, covered with gowns and shawls. They were quiet and asleep. They were very dirty, and appear- ed to be neglected., Two of them appeared to be dying." The reason why the poor little tliiugswere quiet may be surmised, from the evidence of a doctor :— There were ten infants from three weeks old up to three months. it *- Some were erneciated soma were. healthy. There was very little chance of the children living with such food as he fozrndsupplied td them. One of the chilclretr was under the influence of a narcotic. On a table in one of the rooms he found a bottle labelled ' Paregoric Elixir.'',' A more distressing spectacle has seldom been revealed, and, it will irresistibly appeal the just indignation of the public. The Treasury have very properly taken •up the case, and under the evidence offered yesterday, it assumes a graver character. It is, at all events a singular coincidence that the name " Water. ," arhi,.h; as we have said, was written on a piece of raper in which a dead child was found, happens to be the very name under Which the "Mrs. Oliver " of the advertisement is in charge. Besides this, it is stated on the part of the 'Treasury that other articles found with the dead infants can be traced to the prisoners. One impor- tant installment of this evidence was given by a girl who was in service at the house where the 'Baby Farm' was discovered. She states that during the three months she had been in service four children were taken. away. Taro were taken away at 10 o'clock at night, and were brought back at 12, the prisoners saying they had been late for the train. But the next night they were again taken away,and the prisoners returned with- out them, saying, perhapstoo truly, they had taken them ` home.' This girl had fetched :several letters for 'Mrs, Moir.' She has been -sent to buy some laudanum, and by 'rvlrs. Walker's' directions has procured lime and put it into the in- fants' food. She states- that the child died while she was there, but she indentifies sev- eral of the articles found with the dead in- fants as having been used in the house and worn by o, of the children now rescued and -sent 1We workhouse, r♦► THE ADULTUELTION OF BEER.—In con- nection with the statement which Mr. Bass made the other night in the Rouse of Com- mons to the effect that there was no foun- dation foi the belief that beer was adultur- ated to any extent, a T,On don Gentleman, Sin Mr. William.e, writes : "Some time ago, with the object of ascertaining whether the beer sold in London was genuine, I ob- tained six samples in the west district and six in the south. It was purchased, with out selection, of large andtesmall public houses at the workmen's dinner hour, and was immediately sent to be analysed. Out of these twelve samples, seven were salted, .eleven had coloring matter,—five in large quantities,—and in all there was an extra amount of water. Setting aside the best sample as too good for an - average, and the worst as°too bad, the remaining 10 gave 1180 gallons as originally made . by the brewers from 10 quarters of malt to which 1064 gallons of the New River had been added, for which excellent artistically col- oured water the consumers were charged £120, while the cost of the raw marerial, the 'malt and the hops, for the whole 2244 was, . doubtless less than £40. But it was only a fraud, for no cocculus ,indicus, or any substance positively injurious to health was detected. New Method of Build•ng Houses. There is at present in course of erection., in the immediate vicinity ° of the recreation ground ot the South Side Park, and adjoin- ing the Deaf and Dumb Institution, a two- story xrilia of eight rooms and kitchen, for Mr. William White, West George Street, on the "concrete" principle. The structure is built of concrete, composed of cement and small pieces of freestone about the sizeof marbles. . The whole building is ,moulded in :one solid m ass from foundation to top— the mould being raised- by degrees as the concrete sufficiently hardens as to permit doing so. The walls though onlyi one foot in thickness, are able to bear almost any weight twenty-four after the lapse of t venty-four hours, and are therefore thinner and stronger than if built of brick or stone. A number of upright wooden frames are used in the er- ection of the walls—this being the only material difference from the manner adopt- ed in England—and this it is considered will.be- of -immense benefit in -fitting up window -frames, etc., In forming the win- dows in- dows ' and fire -places, wooden boxes or frames the shape required,_are-fitted in, they being likewise lvitdrawn as the concrete hardens. The flue of the chimney isforrued of a sheet - iron core, that again being drawn up as. the building advances. The walls on the out- sideare to be faced with cement;—which will have the appearance of polished ashlar, and the inside will be done in the ordinary 'style. in vogue. The villa is 36 feet square, has an oriel window on the second floor, the doorway to the house underneath. There are to be three rooms and kitchen on the ground floor; and five rooms on the second. The cost of the whole, an important -item, will be much less than if built of brick or stone, as the free stone used, scrap -pieces, is generally obtained for the carting a,vay.Mr.- ' Alexander Simpson. is the master of the work, .and though this is the first building of the kind he has been engaged in, seems well up to all the requirements. Ground has been taken for the erection of six villas . the whole of them to be built in the same manner, should the one in progress come up to the expectations realized by Mr. White. ..OW Death of Distinguished Men. A cablegram announces the death of Sir James Clark—a celebrated English phi si- cian—at the advanced age of 82. He was a farmer's son, born at Cullen,. Banffshire, in December 1788. He Qtrulied medicine in Edinburgh, and received his degree in .1817 , after which he travelled in France, Switzer- land and Italy,' studying the sanitary insti, tutions of those countries. .Returning to Edinburgh he obtained a reputation as one of the most skilful physicians of that city espicially in diseases of the lungs. He set- tled in London, in 1826,_and became physi- cian -in -chief of St. George's Hospital, and consulting physician of the King, the Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess of.. Kent, and the Princess Victoria. On her accession to the throne. Her Majesty selected him as her physician in attendance and created. hini a baronet; He was the author of several works" on climate and consumption This is the thins eminent physician who has died within the- la t few months. First was Sir James Situps n, of Edinburgh, an- eminent man chiefly i oted for his many valuable dis- -coveries, espe rally -the discovery of cn loro- form. Then died Professor Syme, the most distinguished of Scotch surgeons, and now Sir James Clark. . They had all reached a good oldage, and received their full share of honors. On Wednesday died Mr. Josiah Forster, uncle of the Right Hon. W. E. Forster, M. P., and -a patriarch among the Quakers. He had long been an active member, not only of the Society of Friends, but of many other philantrophic associations. Especially was lie noted_ as a leader in the British and Fo- reign Anti -Slavery Society. While a strong adherent to his own religious faith, he was the very opposite of a bigot, and possessed the esteem and affection of many outside of his own society. • . •e►. An Iowa man tried to kiss a �_neighbour's wife, but before he got through the lady hit him on the head with a rolling pin, and put him out of doors. The husband took a re- volver and went to the man for satisfaction, but concluded to settle it by taking the villian's note for $10, which he traded off for a corn plough. The man who holds the note can't collect, the giver of it claiming that he did not get value received. The persecutions of Christians in- Japan are still continuing. It is stated that .the British, French and Priissian Governments are willing to side with ,the United States in favour of the Christians. Agents �' Read 7�hi�s !
