These are among the most terrible and agonising diseases, yet in their worst forms, and when seemingly incurable, they in- variably disappear under a persevering application of this sooth- ing, healing antidote to pain and inflammation. King's Evil, Fever Sores, Stiff Joints. In cases of King's Evil, where medicinal waters, lotions, and every recipe of the pharmacopoeia have proved useless, the Ointment will accomplish a thorough cure, level bores heal quickly under its influence, and its relaxing effect upon con- tracted sinews is truly wonderful. v Bad Legs, Piles, and Fistulas. The cures which this Ointment effects, in healing Ulcers of long standing, and which have resisted all other applications, as w«ll as in curing Bad Legs, Piles, and Fistula., have been so countless AND so notorious throughout the 'world, that any effort to give an adequately detailed statement of their number or character would be vain. It is sufficient to say that the Oint- ment has never proved inefficacious.

r GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. case of hardship is reported from Rochdaie. Twenty- five of the operatives there were summoned for non-pay- ment or poor-rate, and the magistrates, who said they could do nothing in the way of excuse without the con- sent of the guardians, issued distress war rents against an who had not paid the rate. One ii.au, a sample 0: the lot, said he had a family of six, that Jle was working for 2s 10d a week, that he got from the guardians 8d a week, and a little meat and bread from the soup kitchen. This was all he had. THE EXHIBITION.—The public, on Saturday, saw the last of the Exhibition, and upwards of 13,000 persons assembled to witness its calm aeceas,e. The National Anthem was performed, and there was a faint attempt to get up a cheer. On a day in January, not yet fixeè, the Prince of Wales will distribute the medals to the success- ful exhibitors, and it is said that there will be an attempt to light the building with a view to :a fete by gaslight after the distribution. There is some talk of the building being sold for a terminus of the West London Railway, but as yet nothing has been decided upor. PAINFUL SUFFERINGS OF A MISSIONARY'S WIFE.- Th3 Missionary Magazine gives-some particulars of the ill- ness and death, at Sydney, of Mrs Pitman, who, with her husband (Rev. Charles Pitman), had laboured for 30 years in the South Sea mission. Referring to his wife, Mr Pitman says To enter into details of her disease would be needless; suffice it to say, 3uch was its severity and protracted nature, that for full five years she knew not the luxury of stretching herself upon a bed, but was compelled the whole of the above peiiod to sit upon a low seat, about 10 inches in height, covered with soft pillows, and slept, when pain would allow her, by lean- irrg her head sideways upon bolsters piled up at the fJot of the bed. Such was her position day and night, year after year—myself a constant witness.' Mr and Mrs Pitman were the first European missionaries that took up their residence on Rarotonga, where they landed as far back as 1827. THE LATE LORD MAYOR.—It is a noteworthy circum- stance that during the mayoralty of Mr Cubitt consider- ably more than a quarter of a million of money in the whole flowed sponstaneously into the Mansion House from time to time towards one public object or another. The figures, as they appear in the official records, are subjoined. During the first year, including The severe winter of 1860-61, £2,681 was received, and afterwards expended in relieving three thousand six hundred and nine persons and families. The public subscription for the relief of the distress in India consequent upon the famine began on the 28th of March, 1861, and closed on the 25th of October in that year, resulting in a fund of £113,000 odd, and in the relief of the suffering which followed so closely on the heels of the mutiny. Again, the public subscription which was commenced under Mr Cubitt's auspices on the 14th of January last, and is still open towards the erection of a national memorial of the Prince Consort, now exceeds £ 53,000. '1 ow nrds the relief of the widows and orphans of the unfortunate men who perished in the deplorable calamity at Hartley Colliery, £ 20,858 odd was paid into the hands of the late Lord Mayor between the 25th January last and the 22nd of March, barely two months. For the surviving relatives of the men who lost their lives by a similar catastrophe at Gethin, £ 1,245 was subscribed between the 27th of February and the 21st of April. Lastly, on Saturday, when Mr Cuhitt's tenure of office expired, the Lancashire ( Relief Fund at the Mansion House amounted to £ 125,000 in numbers; making a grand total of £ 316,779, of wliich £200,098 was subscribed in the present year. INQUEST ON MR WILCOX, LATE MKMBER FOR SOUTH- AMPTON.—We last week briefly noticed the demise of this gentleman, who died from the effect of an accident while superintending the lopping of some trees at his seat near Roydcn, in this county (Essex). Deceased, who was seventy-seven years of age, was chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, as well as member for Sou hampton. On Saturday last an inquest was held on the body at the Fox and Hounds Inn, itoydon, before C. C. Lewis, Esq., jun., deputy co- roner, when it appeared from the the evidence of Samual Smith and John Perry, labourers, and Charles Hoade, deceased's gardener, all of Roydon, that on the previous afternoon Perry and another man named Peter Smith were up in a tree on the the grounds of deceased outside the garden lopping the branches, and Samuel Smith was employed in carrying them away round a small building there. Deceased was proceeding towards the tree when Hoade cautioned him not to do so. He went, however, near the tree, unknown to the men above, who were then detaching 'some branches, and called out Below,' as they sent them to the ground. Hoade went away, but had not proceeded more than forty paces, when he heard both the men up the tree call out Below,' and immedi- ately after he heard Samuel Smith call out, Mr Wilcox is knocked down.' Samuel Smith, who beard something fall heavily to the ground, went up to deceased with Hoade, and found him lying on his hack. They picked him up, and he bled from the riose; his eyes were shut, and he appeared insensible; there was a great depression on the right temp'e, and a mark of green on his hat, which was lying about a yard from him. as if a branch had struck the latter. Another man, named Cornell, then came up, and deceased was taken home. Mr William Lewis Horley, of Hoddeston, surgeon, was soon on the spot, and found deceased semi-conscious and speechless. There was a deep depression cn his right temple. Mr Horley concluded that the right parieral bone had been fractured, and stated that deceased died from injuries to the head, which were quite such as might have resulted from a violent blow. Mr Horley remained with deceased to the time of death, which took place at half pa-t eight on the morning of the 6th instant. Th»eoroner having summed up the facts of the case the jury returned a ve.r- diet of Accidental Death.— Chelmsford Chronica. MASSACKB OF A SHIP'S CREW BY ESQUIMAUX.It may be remembered that in September, 1859, the Kitty of Newcastle, was lost in the ice during a voyage to Hudson's Straits, when Captain Ellis and ten of the crew who bad taken to the long-boat, were lost sight of, but would, it was fondly hoped, turn up in safety at some of the Hudson s Bay settlements. That hope is now at end, as letters were received last week clearly showing that the captain and his crew had been barbarously mur- dered by Esquimaux. One of the letters, which is ad- dressed to the wife of Captain Ellis, and dated Hebron, Aug..23, 1862, states :—4 In the month of February some Esquimaux from Ungava Bay arrived here and brought news, and missionary tracts which had been thrown upon their island, Akpatok, and without doubt came rom the lost Kitty. These people related to us the following:—About three years ago, in spring, a boat containing eight or nice Europeans landed about a day's Journey north of their island, on a place called Korkok. After landing they were treated kindly by the natives till about the month of January, when the weather turned cold. The Europeans, in order to guard them- selves against the cold, wrapped themselves in blankets. ThejEsquimaux, wishing to possess^hese warm materials, attacked their visitors during the night and killed them all. One of these unhappy beings had already frozen ftet. On our inquiring whether they were ac- quainted with any of their names, he answered that one of them was called Bell' or Peel, but knew no more. Further they stated that one of the Esquimaux had wished to savfl the three Europeans who lodged with him, but his companions were too strong for him, and they likewise shared the fate of their unhuppy comrades. In reply to our question whethej any of these Esquimaux had ever been here, they eaid that some had seen some Europeams from the Hudson's Bay, but the most of them had never been in contact with them. They would never act so themselves, because of their having learned from us how detestahle murder WM but fhoae who bad com- mitted the murder were only acquainted with the Euro- peans by dealing with them, not from missionary teach- 1D £ We f"rtbf ?ere by these narnrors, that f "rh ° th6m a crew' consisting in ail
