ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRRCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressinc , malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical-Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the prell . minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

LORD MAL3LESBU.RI 7 AND AUSTRIA. (From the Times.) We recognise to its fullest extent the force of the verdict which has just been pronounced by the Lower House of the Legislature. Beyond all doubt, any such decision is sufficient to overturn any Go vernment, to substitute one set of Ministers for another, to banish one political party from power, and to set up another in its place ; but it does not deprive the Queen of her legitimate prerogative. According to the Constitution of England the Queen has as much right to confer titles and dignities of honour upon whom she may choose as the House of Commons has a right to say that this or that poli tical party must be removed from office because they have ceased to enjoy the confidence, or rather have been unable to obtain the confidence, of the representatives of the people. The Sovereign may exercise her prerogative unwisely, but that is quite another question, subject to fair argument, and to the reasonable 'comments which any public act per formed by the Queen may naturally call forth. Now, it seems that at the present time, just as the Derby Ministry are about to vacate their offices, it has been resolved that the Garter shall be bestcwed upon Lord Derby himself, and that the honour of G.C.B. shall be conferred upon Lord Malmesbury and Sir John Pakington. This decision has given rise to a certain amount of discontent among the more intense Liberals, but we really think this discontent unfounded. The courtesies of political life and the exigencies of the public service are quite in accordance upon this point. A public career must have its prizes, or the nation will be .the worse served ; and these prizes must not be confined to the barren tenure of office for a few years or months, if we would secure the services of our highest nobles and most opulent gentlemen. To such persons the not very generous stipend which we assign to our ministers of State can con stitute no inducement for taking upon themselves the cares and anxieties of the great Parliamentary struggle. We cannot turn them all into Peers at the termination of their tenure of office, for many of them are t'eers already, and to others the dis tinction of the Peerage may be too great a reward. Is it not a fortunate thing, then, that it should be in the power of the Sovereign to confer upon them certain honorary distinctions on which they set a great value, but which can have no influence upon the course f subsequent political events, and which cost the nation not one shilling ? If there are any persons who believe that to the country it would be a matter of indifference that the richest and most influential persons in private life should keep aloof from a . public career because it could hold forth no glittering inducements in aid of their patriotism, from that opinion we would very respectfully dis sent. The history of pre-revolutionary France and the actual history of the United States may furnish us with illustrations of the dangers which arise from keeping in political obscurity those men who in 'the absence of Heaven-born statesmen are the natural leaders of a country. England must break with'all her traditions before we can arrive at such a conclusion as this. Why, then, should not the Sovereign confer the honour of the Garter upon the Earl of Derby ? Certainly, it, is no business of ours to compose the eulogy, or rather to write the honorary epitaph, of a Minister whose public acts we have felt it our duty so earnestly to oppose upon many occa sions. It is not, however, to be denied that Lord Derby is the leader of one of the great political parties of the country. More than once, and during very momentous times, he has been the chief director of our public affairs. Even now and for some sixteen months he has been —we speak of subjects—the principal person in the State. With reference to the point of which we are speaking we do not care to criticise his acts. It is sufficient to state that he enjoyed the confidence of his Sovereign, that he commanded a majority in the House of Lords, and that if he has at last been ousted from power by a majority of the House e o f Commons, that majority has been a narrow :SuorfelyEnsgulea.hnd,ais accordingmeannt,itledtoany m to the re one Surely distinction t i n conferction w n p h o i h i i m t m air n u l e s a ti s o e e hi to honoraryy n Lord Derby it mustst Hibs i e h e said lintehaagto andhe hashis not been grasping.should princely be fortune rem e remembered have ed that, removed if from th e a ppetencies of vulgar ambition) but it detract s omew h a t from his disinterestedness , they also c onst it ute express claims in themselves for these considerations him indeed, According to custom, this honour is con ferred members of our own Roy al Famil y , uponsuch thean honorary distinction as the Garter.

The fact that Lord Derby is now a Knight of the Garter can have no effect upon the public servi He has received his reward—the very reward which he had selected for himself. No man can know better than Lord Derby the value of the services which he has rendered to the State. He was a great ornament to the House of Commons ; he is a great ornament to the House of Lords. The reward which he has coveted and which he has obtained is—an ornament. Can anything more be said? As to the distinctions about to be conferred upon Lord Malmesbury and Sir John Pakington the case is not quite so clear: Thus much, however, is certain—that the honour about to be bestowed upon them has lost much of its claim upon public respect since the abuse of it at the conclusion of the Crimean war. Lord Malmesbury may have been the dupe of French Diplomacy; Sir John Pakington may never have soared above the regions of corn- moiiplace ; but surely they are as meritorious public servants as the Chelsea warriors who were honoured with the distinction of the Bath! It will surprise many that Sir John Pakington, occupying as he does the respectable position of an English country gentleman, should have desired so unsuitable a mark of his Sovereign's favour. But, after all, he knows best. If _he is willing to confront the little ridicule of the matter, why should we be wiser for him than he is for himself ? The transactions at Dover are so fresh in the public recollection that Sir John Pakington must make up his mind to wear his blushing riband with corresponding embarrass ment in his ingenuous countenance. After a time the riband will remain and Dover be forgotten, and then it will be well with the new Lord 14Ialmesbury can scarcely be said to have obtained any social advancement—political advancement is, of course, out of the question—by his acceptance of this somewhat questionable distinction. Yet why should we grudge it him ? If he has done nothing great, he has obtained nothing great. Some of the arguments which applied in Lord Derby's case will apply also in the case of Lord Malmesbury, although, of course, in a far lesser degree. If the Queen is pleased to bestow such a mark of distinc tion upon a nobleman who has served the State somehow or other for sixteen months, why make a fuss about such a trifle ? THE NA VY. Letters received at Plymouth, written from the screw steamship Orion, 91, Capt. Wallace Houston, state that in consequence of the defective condition of her hull it will be necessary for her to return home, and that carpenters are now putting her decKS into temporary repair in Malta. The paddlewheel steam vessel Advice, M. C. Raymond, second master commanding, went into Keyham on Sunday evening to have defects re paired. The paddlewheel steam sloop Firebrand, 6, Capt. Denman, left Plymouth on Sunday evening to take soundings from the Land's End to Gibraltar, pre paratory to laying the electric cable. The paddlewheel steam vessel Pigmy, William Johnstqn master, from Portsmouth, arrived at Ply. mouth on Sunday with supernumeraries and pro ceeded to the westward on Monday. Rear Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle, X.C. 8., rehoisted his fitig on Monday on board the screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Captain Edward B. Rice, in Plymouth Sound. Port-Admiral Sir John Barrington Reynolds, K.C.8., accompanied by Captain Jerningham, of the gunnery ship Cambridge, proceeded into Ply- Mouth Sound, on Monday, in the gunboat Redwing and mustered the crew of the screw steamship London, 90. The steam despatch boat Flying Fish arrived in Portland Harb9ur on Sunday morning ; the screw steam frigate Emerald, 51, Capt. Arthur Cumming, arrived in the evening from Spithead, to join the Channel Fleet. The Wellesley, 72, Captain G. Goldsmith, C. 8., guardship a ordinary at Chatham, was paid down to six months on Monday. A great number of landsmen and boys have lately entered.

The wives and children of the sick and wounded troops belonging to the Eastern Monarch have been provided with an abundant supply of neces sary clothing and every other comfort since their arrival at Chatham, by the ladies of the local com mittee of the Central Association for the Relief of the Wives and Families of Soldiers and Sailors, who are most assiduous in their attention to the sufferers, most of whom have lost every article they possessed by the burning of the vessel. A sum of money has been placed in the hands of Captain J. Pope, of the Invalid Depot at Chatham, who has undertaken to distribute it among the sufferers, in order to alleviate their more immediate wants. The whole of the troops who, came home from India in the Eastern Monarch have been supplied with a fresh kit by order of the Government, and it is understood that the personal losses of the men by the burning of the ship will also be made good to them. General Gerard Gosselin died on Saturday last at his seat in Kent, at the advanced age of 90 years, having survived the death of his venerable brother, Admiral Thomas Le Marchant Gosselin, about two years, the gallant admiral having died at a great age. The late general was one of the senior generals on the army list. He entered the army so far back as November; 1780. According to Harts's record of his services, General Gosselin commanded a brigade on the expedition against Genoa, under Lord William Beranek; and on its capture was appointed commandant there until the peace with France. Subsequently he commanded a brigade in the American war, and was present at the attack on and capture of Castine on the Penob scot. The late officer's commissions bore date as follows :—Ensign, Nov. 29, 1780 ; lieutenant, Jan. 6, 1791 ; captain, June 6, 1794 ; major, June 15, 1794; lieutenant-colonel, Jan. 1, 1800 ' • colonel, July 23, 1810 ; major-general, June 4, 1813 ; lieu tenant-general, May 27, 1825 ; and general, Nov. 23, 1841. Major-General David Macadam, R.M., expired on Friday, at Edinburgh. The gallant deceased had been 54 years in the Royal Marines, and he had greatly distinguished himself in his professional career. While serving in the L'Aigle, between August, 1805, and May, 1809, he was at the attack on the French by Admiral Corn wallis on the 21st of August, 1805 ; gunboats in Vigo Bay, 29th of October following ; the blockade of Fort t ygo, July and August, 1807 ; action with the French frigate, off L'Orient, 22d of March, 1808; Basque Roads, 11th and 12th of April, 1809; and various other affairs in the ship or her boats, and was 40 times under fire. During service in the Thames, between the 7th of October, 1809, and 27th of August, 1812, he landed at Mount Coreilly, Amanthea, Citraco, in the Gulf of Policastro, and near to Cape Palinuro, and several other places on the coast of Calabria and in the Roman States. On board the Forth, from July 31, 1813, to September 29, 1815, he was most actively employed, and was on the staff of the Anglo-Russian force forming the siege of Bathz. The gallant general subsequently served on the North American coast. The deceased had on repeated occasions been honourably noiiced in the despatches of his superior officers to the home government, and is stated to have been above 70 times under fire. His commissions were dated as follows :—Second lieutenant, April 19, 1805 ; lieutenant, July 27, 1808; captain, Dec. 7, 1830; major, Nov. 9, 1846 ; lieutenant-colonel, May 27, 1848 ; colonel, March 14, 1854 ; and major-general, June 20, 1855. The Royal Sussex Artillery have received their order to assemble on the Ist of July at the Redoubt at Eastbourne for 21 days' training and exercise. The Royal Anglesey Light Infantry Regiment has assembled at Beaumaris for 21 days' training and exercise, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Williams, M.P. A considerable number of recruits have been enrolled by the adjutant since the training of last year. We have been favoured by the Secretary of the Admiralty with the following report of this unfor tunate occurrence : " (COPY.) "REPORT OF MR. R. MINDRY, GUNNER. " H.M.S. Victory, Portsmouth, June 10. " Sir,—Being the only surviving officer from the wreck of her Majesty's brig Heron, I have the honour to report, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, my proceedings immediately before the wreck, and. until my arrival on board this ship. "On Sunday, the Bth May, I had the first watch (from fflo 12 p.m.) At nine o'clock the captain left his order-book with me ; it ran as follows : Course N.E. by N. Shorten sail on any ap pearance of a squall, and call me.' At midnight I was relieved by Lieut. Porter, of the Trident, who was taking passage and doing duty. The ship at the time was under topgallant sail 9, single-reefed topsails, courses, boom mainsail and fibs ; going 1.8 ; a fine starlight night. "At five the following morning, of the 9th, I was thrown out of my bed against the main ladder. I rushed on deck, caught a rope, which had fallen to Leeward, and succeeded in getting on the ship's bottom, where I found a number of men. I imme diately called for a knife, when Samuel Handsford, captain forecastle, cut away the foremast fall of the weather whale boat. The ship then sunk, leaving the boat afloat, the after-fall having been cut or separated, but not known by whom. Twenty-three men and myself got into the whale boat. After being in the boat about four minutes I saw a white speck on the water making towards us. I then gave orders to keep every one off the boat, as she was already overcrowded. When the white speck was within a few feet of the boat I found by the voice that it was the captain, and instantly took him in ; the weather at this time was very dark, and raining heavily. " The captain was so much exhausted that I kept charge of the boat for about 40 minutes, when he, being partially recovered, and his wounds bound up, took charge. " When daylight appeared we found the boat's crutches, and commenced pulling, keeping head to sea. After about an hour John Waldren, ordinary, said he saw a sail ahead, which was not visible to any one else, but we all saw her about a quarter of an hour afterwards, and reached her at 2 p m. We were then taken on board the Irlam, a bark of Liver pool, from Calabar to Sierra Leone, where we arrived at noon on the 16th. Capt. Truscott went on board her Majesty's ship Trident and reported himself; the Trident's cutter then took us out of the barque. " On the 19th May we went on board the Ethiope, African mail steamer, for passage to Liverpool. " On the 29th May James Kettle, private, Royal Marines, died ; on the 30th Mr. George Haydon, boatswain, died ; and on the 3d of June Capt. Trus cott died = all of whom were buried at sea. "We arrived at Liverpool at 6 p.m., yesterday, the 9th, when Commander Goldfinch forwarded us on by rail to this ship. " I annex a list of all the survivors who have arrived with me-viz.: Alexander Allan, gunner's mate; James White, quartermaster; George Pin• horn, quartermaster; Samuel Handsford, captain forecastle ; James Bartlett, captain afterguard ; James Waldren, ordinary ; William Windover, ordinary; James Gifford, ordinary; Richard Hicks, ordinary; George Ge3ge, ordinary ; John H.

" Admiral WM. BOWLES, C. 8., " Commander-in-Chief." THE TWO NEW MARSHALS. (Rom . Galigithni'a Messenger.) The following are some particulars of the military career of the two new Marshals of France : " Count de M'Mahon (Marie Patrice Maurice) was born about 1807, at the chateau,of Sully, in the arrondissemont of Autun. He is descended from an Irish family, which, after living with distinction for many centuries in Ireland, risked all for the last of the Stuart Kings. The M'Mahons, carrying their national traditions and historic name to France, mingled their blood by marriage with the old nobility of their adopted country, and obtained with the hand of an heiress the magnificent castle and extensive estates of Sully. The present Gene ral's father, the Count de M'Mahon, who was an officer of high rank, a peer of France, a Grand Cross of the Order of St. Louis, and a personal friend of Charles X., espoused a lady of the ducal house of Caraman, and left four sons and four daughters. Of that numerous family the youngest is the hero of Malakoff and Magenta. He was educated partly at his father's, and partly at the seminary for young men destined for the priesthood in that city. He afterwards entered the military school at St. Cyr, on leaving which, in 1825, he entered the French military service, and in 1830 joined the army of Algeria, where he soon distinguished himself alike by his gallantry and intelligence. After the com bat of the Col de Terchia, in which he was the aide•de-camp to General Archard, the latter said to him, ' Can you carry to Col. Rullieres, at Blidah, the order to change his march ? As the mission is dangerous, I will give you a squadron of light dragoons as an escort.' The young officer refused the escort, declaring that it was either too little or too much, and preferred going alone. On arriving at about half a mile from Blidah he saw groups of the enemy's horsemen on each side, as well as behind him ; but he went firmly on, knowing that a deep precipice, called the ravine of Blidah, was a little way in front of him. He there drove his horse, a high-blooded animal, at the tremendous chasm, and the animal, without hesitation, sprang into mid air. The rider held his seat immovably and escaped unhurt, but was obliged to abandon his charger, which had its forelegs broken. Not one of the Arabs ventured to take the desperate leap, and the young officer reached Blidah in safety. He rose rapidly through the different grades, and attained that of General of Brigade in 1848. For a time he occupied the position of Governor of the province of Oran, and afterwards of Constantine, and in 1852 became General of Division. In 1855, when General Canrobert left the Crimea, General M'Mahon was selected by the Emperor to succeed him in the command of a division, and when the chiefs of the allied armies resolved on assaulting Sebastopol he had assigned to him the honourable and perilous post of carrying the works of the Malakoff. The manner in which he performed that duty is too fresh in the memory of our readers to need mention, and his able conduct at the battle of Magenta has now raised him to the highe st rank in the army. The Marshal married in 1854 Made moiselle Elizabeth de Castries, daughter of the Marquis de Castries, and has by her a son born in 1855." The following details relate to his companion in arms : " Count Regnault de Saint Jean d'Angely, com manding in chief the Imperial Guard, is the son of a distinguished officer of the First Empire. He commenced his military career under that Empire as sub-lieutenant of the Bth Regiment of Hussars. , In that regiment, he made the campaign of Russia, and was at the battle of Leipzig. Both in the re treat from Russia and in the battle his regiment suffered severely, and it was by a sort of miracle that he escaped. In 1814 he was attached to the Imperial staff, and was made a captain by the Em peror, for having distinguished himself in presence of his Majesty before Rheims. On the return of Napoleon from the Isle of Elba he was nominated one of his Majesty's orderly officers, and he dis played such marked bravery at the battle of Waterloo that he Was made a Chef d'Escadron on the field. After the downfall of Napoleon he was struck out of the army list, but he joined Colonel Fabvier in his expedition to Greece. In 1830 he was restored to his grade of Chef d'Esca dron, and was in 1832 appointed colonel of the Ist Regiment of Lancers. In 1840 he was made major general, and in 1848 general of division. In the revolution of 1848 he commanded a brigade of cavalry, and Marshal Bugeaud declared of him that he stood by the King to the last. In 1849 he com manded the troops forming the expedition to I Rome. Having been elected deputy of the Cha rente-Inferieure, he joinedthepartyofthe Emperor. In 1851 he was for a short time Minister of War. THE NEW ATLANTIC. TELEGRAPH, At last the long pending question as to the pro bability of telegraphic communication being established between this country and America seems-in a fair way of being settled. While the old Atlantic Telegraph Company has been wasting the money of the shareholders and seeking preposterous conditions from the Government, to guarantee them from the evils of their own scientific mis management, a new company has been quietly formed under the best auspices, and, without troubling the Government about subsidies, or anything el e; have carefully matured their plans with such foresight and deliberation as to lead the electrical world to look forward confidently to a successful so.ut.on of this great submarine enter prise. The British Transatlantic Telegraph Com pany propose, within this year if possible, to lay their cable from the Land's-end, in Cornwall, to Blanc Sablon, an island in the Straits of Belle Isle, at one of the entrances of the Gulf of St. Law rence, and a little to the north of Newfoundland. A short wire, to be laid by a separate company, takes the cable in from Blanc Sablon to the Island of Anticosti, where it meets lines already open com municating with Quebec, Montreal, and, indeed, all parts of Canada. Another short line from Anticosti will be submerged to Cape Breton, where it will join the network of lines which communicate with Hali fax, Nova Scotia, Boston, New York, &c. The advan tages which such a route presents over one starting from the west coast of Ireland are immense, both in point of economy and freedom from the submarine dangers which beset the track from Valentia to Newfoundland_ In the first place, the average depth of the entire route is supposed to be less, while by starting from Land's-end the steep range of subma rine mountains on the west coast of Ireland, on which the Atlantic telegraph was so carelessly lost, is entirely avoided. On the Atlantic side, the lines not being hamperedwith such preposterousconditions for messages as those which would check their trans mission over Newfoundland, the tariff for their re transmission would be less than one-half of what would be charged if sent by the American Company from St. John's, while the line, being all submerged, is of course less exposed.to4njury than in crossing the almost unexplored wilds of Newfoundland. On this side of the water the advantages of having the, terminus at Land's-end are almost greater. The increased 'distance is very little over 150 miles ; but a message arriving at Land's-end is transmitted direct to its destination at a small cost, while the cost from Valentia is much greater, and the message itself has to be re transmitted always four times, and sometimes oftener. If it merely avoided the necessity of mes sages coming from America to London being first known at Liverpool, where by the Irish route they must be transmitted, the gain to merchants by a Land's-end terminus would be most important. From the hour that the scheme for spanning the Atlantic with a telegraph wire was first mooted we have again and again advocated, in the strongest terms, the necessity for using a light cable, and, above all, for doing away with the outer covering of spiral wire. How the old Atlantic tompany pro ceeded all the world now knows. They made a cable which it was publicly known could not answer its purpose, and, as if to take away even the theoretical chances of its success, the two halves, by the neglect of their engineer, were spirally coated with wire, with the twist of each coil running in a different direction. These wires, which were really only additional weight, were supposed to give strength, ind necessitated the costly and destructive appara• tus of paying out machines, which were designed by Sir C. Bright, and which, under that engineer's management, eventually proved the ruin of the whole plan. However, we must do the old company the justice to say that, ha••ing now lost all their money, they at last see their error, and that there is as little chance •f another wire-covered rope going to sea under their auspices as there is of its submergence being again entrusted to any but regu lar contractors. The British Transatlantic Tele graph Company propose to use a cable of the very lightest description. Its lightness, in fact, is made its strength, and the outer covering of wire is en tirely done away with. The conductor is to be com posed of seven copper wires having about twice the sectional area of that used by the old Atlantic Company. It will be coated with a combination of gutta percha, with manifold insulators, the outer portion being wound round with a textile fabric in a peculiar manner, so as to perfect and strengthen the rope and its insulation to the utmost. The outer covering of all will be hemp, interwoven longitudi nally, so as to be without either turn or stretch. This outer covering before being used will no doubt be passed through a solution of either indiarubber or gutta percha; the rope afterwards being com pressed under a steel die will insure a uniform gauge and, the solution penetrating to the very utmost. The diameter of the gutta percha insulator will be about double that used in the rope of the old com pany, and the diameter of the whole cable about two-thirds of an inch. The weight is less than 8 cwt. per mile, the breaking strain about two tons, or equal to supporting nearly six miles of its own weight in air, and no less than 25 miles of its own weight in sea water. The cost of the whole cable will be about half of that which was lately lost by the old company. The cable is to be contracted for under a special arrangement which guarantees the shareholders against any risk of loss. The contract will not be at so much per mile, but for a certain sum under £350,000 the contractors undertake to make tho wire, insure it, submerge it, and deliver it over to the company in working order. During the time of its manufacture the company are to advance certain sums to the contractors not exceed ing in all 50 per cent. of the entire contract price. For these advances, which bear interest to the coin ' pup at the rate of 5 per cent. till the completion of the contract, security is given by the contractors, who, in case of the failure of the cable, are bound to repay them within a certain time. When the cable is completed and shipped the contractors are further bound to insure it, and deliver the policy to the company as a collateral security. Only when the cable is laid in working order, and pos session formally given to the company, will the contractors become entitled to receive the money for it. It is not often that shareholders meet with such a favourable arrangement, or one which so completely guarantees them against loss of any kind, and, of course, it is owing to this that a large portion of the capital has already been subscribed tor. In order to prevent the overcrowding of messages the tariff of charges will be arranged according to three scales—viz., one for ordinary messages, one for express messages, and one for special messages. The prices of these, it is sup , posed, will be Ll, £5, and £lO respectively. No ordinary, message will be sent while an express ' message is on the Est, and no express message will be despatched while a special message is on the list, a regular printed return of the number (if any) of both being kept at the station for the informa tion of, all persons wishing to send messages. By means of such a tariff each message will be trans mitted, according to the scale which the sender thinks its interest or importance to himself re quires. Any chance; also, of the wire being two or three days in arrear of its' business will be entirely obviated. Altogether, the whole scheme of the British Transatlantic Company has apparently been well and carefully planned, and with the advantages which it possesses and the facilities which it offers we have little doubt that it will surmount in the most satisfactory manner the few difficulties that yet remain in the way of elec trical communication between the New World and I the Old.

(From the ayittrar-Genep, The mortality of London h as during the last six weeks, and in' ,the W4e {l k ° t f h a a i r -last Saturday, the total number of deaths Ls 938. In the ten years-1849-1858 the average number of deaths in the weeks reorresponding with last week was NI; but as the deaths included in the present return occurred in a population firth has increased, they should be compared with the aver age raised in proportion to the increase, namely, with 1,082. The comparison presents a highly favourable result, for it appears that the deaths that occurred last week were less by 144 than the number that would have occurred if the average rate of mortality- as ascertained' for the early part of June had prevailed. The births registered last week exceeded the deaths in the same period by 730. Scarlatina, which was fatal in 50 and 42 cases respectively in the two previous weeks, was fatal last week in 43. Eleven deaths were tensed by diphtheria, and occurred as follows :—One at 3, Windsor-place, Paddington, two in a family at 46, William-street, Kensington, where a third child died from scarlatina, one at 4, Cumberland -court, St. Pancras, one at 14, Harrington -square, one at 2, Wellington-road, Hackney, one at 35, Great , Tower-street, two in the same fame family at 10, Hungerford-street, St. George-in-the-East, one at • 46, Tiverton-street, Newington, and one at 4, York place, Greenwich. Fifteen children and two adults died last week from the smallpox, two infants from erysipelas," two persons from carbuncle, seven from syphilis, two by murder or manslaughter. A man died at the age of 92 years, and a woman at 95. Two infants and two adults died from cholera ; they are registered as follows :—" At 2, Bloomsbury•place a girl, aged seven months, on June 9, infantine cholera (20 hours), exhaustion." "On the 11th June, at 2, Brother's-row, Lambeth, a boy, aged five months, cholera infantum (three days)." On sth June, at 24, North-street, Marylebone. a woman, aged 73 years, diarrhoea.

A boy aged six mon th s , di e d at 5, Emma-place, Kensington, from " spasmodic croup (seven days)." Mr. Coopei Willis adds on his certificate, that the child was poisoned by the exhalations from the road in front of the house, which he states to be " in an infamous condition." Two children died at 6, Austin-street, Hackney-road, from scarlatina fol lowed by dropsy. The air of thtt house is impure in consequence of the-bad state of the drainage. A. silk winder, aged 74 years, died at 11, Winchester street, Bethnal-green, from eating fish that was unfit for food. Last week the births of 834 boys and the same number of girls, in all 1,668 children, were, regis tered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849-58,the average number was 1,533. , . THE TOBERMORT SEQUESTRATION CASE. On Friday judgment was given by the Second Division of the Court of Session (Scotland), in the case of " Gill. v. Joel," on the question of .jurisdic tion in the matter of the sequestration of William Gill, who, being an Englishman and his creditors all in England, claimed the jurisdiction of the Scotch courts after 40 days' residence in the island of Mull. The sequestration was duly effected under the Act 19th and 20th Victoria, cap. 79, but one of his creditors, Air. Joel, subsequently peti tioned the Court of Session to recal the sequestra tion granted in the Sheriff Court, and Lord Ordi nary Kinloch last session issued an interlocutor sustaining the petition and recalling the sequestra tion. The case was taken by reclaiming note to the Second Division, and on Friday their lordship's reversed Lord Kinloch's decision, on the grounds stated by the Lord Justice Cleric in delivering the unanimous judgment of the Court, which was limited to the question of jurisdiction. The Lord Justice Clerk said,—The Court hold that the question for them to determine is whether this case falls within the statute, and if such be the case that they are bound to ad minister the law in disregard of all considerations of alleged equity or expediency. The bankrupt in the present case is not a trader. He is an English man and an English barrister. All his creditors, with one exception, are in England. His sole con nexion with Scotland is a residence for 40 days continuously at Tobermory, in the Island of Mull, previous to the date of presenting his petition ; and he admits that this residence was assumed for the express purpose of qualifying him for sequestration. It may seem, on general principles, very startling and inexpedient that an insolvent person should be entitled to make choice of a country for sequestra tion, and thus alter the rights of his creditors and obtain immunities for himself. The Court must, however, decide the case according to the statute, no matter whether or not such a decision is in opposition to the principles of international juris prudence. A decision if opposed to these principles would not receive• effect in foreign countries but must receive effect in England, as it proceeds upon a statute of the Imperial Parliament. The only question is what, in the sense of the Act, renders a person subject to the jurisdiction of the supreme courts. According to the former principles of bankruptcy law, sequestration was confined to traders. The great peculiarity of the statute pre sently in force is that it extends sequestration to all parties who are debtors, without reference to their being traders. It must, therefore, be construed with regard to this fundamental alteration on the law—its professed object. To satisfy the require ments of the clause of the Act it seems to me to be sufficient if the debtor be at the time of presenting his petition subject to the jurisdiction. The foun dations of general jurisdiction are domicile in refer ence to jurisdiction in personam, and property in reference to jurisdiction in rem. The bankrupt here having no property, the only question is— Was he subject to the jurisdiction of the supreme courts of Scotland ratione domicild ? The general principle loping that residence, ac cording to the law of all countries founds jurisdiction, it is for each country to fix by its municipal law what period of residence is to be held sufficient. Our law has fixed on 40 days' continuous residence at one place as being sufficient to found jurisdiction ratione donzicilii. It is here admitted that the bankrupt resided in Tobermory continuously for 40 days immediately before making was then occupyingonly hous o e r a h n i s d a r p e p s d i c e a n t n it() r a t n h d a t t t h i a m t e h h i s his e• possessing no other house in England or elgewhere. If such a period and kind of residence is not suffi cient to found jurisdiction, there is no other that can be held to be so, except that which constitutes the true domicile. The Court have been warned that serious consequences may flow from such a judgment as now pronounced; if so, they spring solely from the Act and the innovations introduced by it. The Court therefore altered the interlocutor of the Lord Ordinary, and found that the bankrupt was subject to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Courts of Scotland, and remitted to the Lord Ordinary to hear parties on the other grounds alleged for recal of sequestration. .i#'" STATE OF TRADE. a n — t r i T a a t h e h e e h r w ol o du o a l i l ey e ts n ,chw c arah lo e t nc h tepr m ie : u k ur e t t e J b u elev n r e ih oit l fs 4 u . to usual to-day yEaDthga: the rather than business is the order of the day. The tone of the market was tolerably firm, but only a small amount of business was done. Wools are hardening rather, though no positive advance in quotations can be given. The new clip of English wool is realizing good prices. At Doncaster, on Saturday, when the first wool market for the season was held, 300 sheets were exhibited, and the whole were sold. All hog wool fetched 20s. per 141-lb., and other sorts 17s. Gd. to 18s. Gd. MANCHESTER, June 14.—There was a fair busi ness in yarns, at full prices. Some of the principal houses in the German trade, believing now that Prussia will not be led into the war, have bought rather freely.. Buyers for India, the Mediterranean, and other foreign markets, have also done a moderate business. For the home trade manufacturers have purchased to a fair amount, and the ' has ag g regate business for all quarters been Of considerable extent. In cloths therp has been a steady trade, for all markets except India at the full rates of last Tuesday. Th e India ' shippers. have already extensive except where manufacturers are coming out of order and there is a probability of they have declined to place new early supply, orders. In the exceptional cases referred to some orders have been given out, and in most cases they have had to give rather better terms. PRICE OP GOLD. —The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchangeon London is 25.121 On comparing th ese ra t es w ith th e Eng pelisrhLminl ste t r p i n uf e . of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for stands ‘rd gold, it appears that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. ?tearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4194 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.2 per £1 sterling. Standard gold st the English Mint price is therefore about 1-10th per eel t • e i dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of.
