The Bonet Guards authorities have notified a change In the

uniform of ' the Infantry, to commence with the year 1855-'6, so far as regards the five Infantry regiments now in the United Kingdom, and in the year 1856-'7 in the rest of the Army. One effect of the change will be to dis- , pense with two-thirds of the gold lace now worn by officers. The gold- lace weavers memorialised the Secretary-at-War against an alteration so pnej4dioial to their trade.

Though the accounts of the harvest and its gathering are checkered, on the whole the news from the agricultural districts of the Three Kingdoms is very cheering. From Westmoreland and Cumberland there are complaints of un- settled weather, retarding harvest operations, and laying. the crops- in some places. In Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, and Buckingham- shire, there has been rain, but not to a serious extent. In the -West of England, harvest operations are proceeding well : it is believed that the grain-crops Will be the largest known for years. In Northumberland the grain-crops are "most luxuriant," and little damage hae been done by storms. From Worcestershire and Shropshire the accounts are good. In Monmouthshire a most abundant harvest is expected—unparalleled in some parts. In Kent, Sussex, and Surrey, great progress has been"Wde, in securing the crops. The potato-crop is good, though there is sOme amount of disease.

The crops of grain in Scotland are expected to be very heavy„ and generally good, though some rust is seen among the wheat. :But the harvest will be late, and dry weather is much needed : last week there were heavy storms in various localities. There has been a large increase this year in the number of acres devoted to potatoes in Mid Lothian ; the reports of this crop generally speak of a good deal of disease. , Albeit the reports of the harvest in Ireland are contradictory, the fl-am- crops are generally described as promising an abundant yield. In some counties wheat and oats have been cut, but most of the harvest will.be late. There is nothing new respecting the potato-blight. ,a week there was a good deal of rain in parts of the eountry.. ,

The scale of mortality in the Metropolis is still rising.

By the explosion of a powder-magazine at MaYsaille in Kentucky, which containe&800 kegs of .gunpowder -thirteen houses were dtstreyed : no person was hurt directly, but an old lady died subsequently from fright. A dreadful slave-story [is it true ?] comes from. Itliasissippi State. A planter was grievously diseased; every one but a slave-girl deserted him ; by her care he recovered. With gratitude und affection to his benefactor, he took her to Cincinnati, Ohio, executed to her a deed of autnuMisaiou, had' it recorded, returned to Mississippi, and there married her in legal forrn. They lived together affectionately for many years, reared a family of children, and 'as be lay upon his deathbed, by will he divided his property between his wife arid children. His brothers, hearing of his death, came forward and demanded the property. The widow and children were indignant at the de- mand. They too were seized ; and the validity of that marriage was tried before Judge Sharkley, of Mississippi ; who decided that the whole matter was a fraud upon the law of slavery—that the property belonged to the col- lateral heirs. The widow was sold by the surviving brothers ; the childrea were bid off at public auction ; and both mother and children now toil in chains or sleep in servile graves.

Some experiments have been made at Portsmouth of a new invention by a Scotch gentleman for sending electric messages through water without the aid of toes.

Tint'lizneetreports that a new method of treating cholera has been very suceeesful at King's College Hospital: "Dr. George Johnson, who hags the charge of. thenholermwards, con-alders that the purging in, cholera is mainly an efibrt of the organism to throw off the virulent principle which ia at the root of the,disease. He therefore, in his treatment, does his best to aid this eliminating process by gentle means, and gives half-oance deses of castor-oil every half-hour. Some of the patients thus treated were admitted either with severe purging and vomiting, or in the cold and blue stage. A mustard ' poultice was usually placed on the pit of the stomach,' and the castor-oil given every half-hour until the 'action of 'the bowels was well established. Ammonia was tried with the oil, but it increased-the sickness ; which symp- tom was more effectually allayed by the oil alone. In every case consider- able relief was obtained upon the bowels being freely moved ; and the con- ' gestive fever, which sometimes carries off - patients who have struggled throtigh the original choleraic attack, was noticed in Dr. Johnson's patients to be very slight, External heat, by meana of warm bottles, frictions, ate., was also used; but we did not perceive that either brandy or opium was em- ployed."
