O N TRUE and FALSE SPERMATO RRMEA; 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 Ilypoehrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickiord 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 distressing 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 Spermatorrheea 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 dilated so long upon the contents of the preli 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. London : H. Bailliere, 219, Regent-street. AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The -Wim.q." the "Lancet." and Other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social consiaeratiu..in volved in "the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, wider mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its effects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S "SELF- PRESS RVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and Ph ysical Debility, o f which the Roth Edition has just been published by M ann and Co., 39, Cornhill, London, price Is., sent post fr ee f or 13, or in a sealed envelope for 20 stamps' Dr. Ln' A Mn. , &c. ,having for 20 years devoted himself entirely to thi s b ranch of practice, may • lice be consulte4l daily, either perso na ll y or by correspondence, at his residence, No. 37, BEDFORD -SQUARE, London.

Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement, which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the visitor. . .

Hitherto during the quarter of a century in which the spirit of emulation Etta improvement in yacht building and yacht-sailing has been fostered by this important club giving valuable prizes for competi tion, its regattas have passed off year by year un marked by any mischance; but yesterday an acci dent occurred which migit have placed the lives of upwards of three hundredpersons oil board the club steamer it w a s the Prince imminent peril, and e createdcondsiWdete considerable in lealarm, although pro videntially unattended with serious consequences ; and here, before proceeding to further details, it is but just to Lord Alfred Paget, the noble commodore of the club, to state that the disaster was in no way attributable to any mismanagement on his part, but, on the contrary, had his directions been com pplaisesdedweitffha, as agreeably day ee a bwouldly as hi n e all probability have many that have pre ceded it on similar occasions. rt It was the opening race of the first class yachts otrfiethsi : s_club, and the following was the list of en- Yachts. Tons. Owners. Christabel .. Marina Phosphorus 5O .. If W. Turner. Glance Audax The prizes were a very handsome salver and tea and coffee service, of a new and elegant design, chased in rosettes, and gilt, manufactured for the Exhibition by Hancock, value £lOO, and a second prize, value £4O, for the second boat. Course, from Erith to the Nore Light and back, with a time al ui half-a-minnt. - derable ....AClted by the race, as is usual with those in this club, and it was increased by the repu tation of a new boat, the Phosphorus, as a fast sailer, where the renown earned by the others made each of them the favourite. The Prince of Wales steamer had been engaged by the club for the conveyance of members and their friends, and left London-bridge a little after ten, with Lord Alfred Paget, the commodore, the rest of the officers, and a party to the number we have above stated. The vessel proceeded to Erith, where the yachts were found at their stations, and were inspected by the commodore. At 11h. 50m. a gun was fired by direction of the noble commo dore for the start, and the Christabel, which cer tainly had a very good position, went away with an extraordinary lead, followed by the Phosporus, Marina, Glance, and Audax. For two or three minutes only they were in sight, there being a very stiff and favourable breeze from the southward of west. Instead of being ready to follow, the steamer's anchor and a few fathoms of chain had to be got up, and this ceremony took so long that the yachts were not overtaken until they reached Gravesend, where the Christabel was first, Marina second, Audax third, Glance fourth, and Phospho rus last, the latter rigging a bowsprit, she having unfortunately just carried her's away. There was at that time a gap of 50 or 60 yards between the Christabel and Marina, which soon became shor tened, and they were abreast. Some very smart sailing followed, and resulted in the Marina passing her opponent to leeward. Off the Chapman she had a lead of 200 yards, and retained it to the Nore Light, where the accident occurred to which we have alluded. At 2h. 3m. the Marina jibbed at the Light as usual from the southward to the north ward, at which time the Prince of Wales steamer was dead in her course, at about 100 yards above the Light. Lord Alfred Paget, who was on the paddle-box, had directed the captain of the steamer to take her as usual below the Nore Light, when he replied, as is supposed with a view of giv ing the spectators a better view of the turning, that he would take her in a line with it, and was pro ceeding to do so when the yacht came down upon him. The owner of the Marina luffed as much as he could, and the crew shouted to the steamer. Lord Alfred immediately, from his nautical experience, saw the imminent danger in which all were placed, and called out to the captain of the steamer to turn her astern, and endeavour was made to get her out of the way, but it was too late, and the bowsprit of the Marina struck the steamer on the port bow with such force as to open one of her iron plates, stave the timber, and admit a quantity of water. Tow and blankets were immediately resorted to to stop the leakage ; and although the officers of the club did all that gentlemanly feeling could suggest to allay the consternation, it was general, although the exact amount of the mischief was not commu nicated to the ladies on board. By the accident the woodwork at the head of the steamer and the decorations were flattened and broken, while the yacht was much damaged. Her bowsprit was forced , windlass, and thrown down on r k i 6 g v h e i o n f , t c h a e r r m y i a n s g t a way ia n y the w e r e b i t s board the boats, but fortunately none were hurt. As the Marina was unable to proceed any further, she was taken in tow by the steamer to Gravesend, where she was left for repairs. Owing to the col lision and its consequences no guns were fired, and no time taken at the rounding, but at the moment of the larina's jibbing she was above a minute and a quarter ahead of the Christabel, the Audax being next, then the Phosphorus. It was some time be fore the boats were again overtaken, and then the Christabel was leading, the Audax being second, and the Phosphorus third. In this way they worked through the Hope and St. Clement's, and arr i ve d at Erith in the following times : )1. in, S. Christabel Audas ........... ... Glance .. Phosphorus _ 5 48 40 .. _ By this the Christabel won the first prize, Glance second by two minutes and a half. A committee of the best yachtsmen on board, headed by Lord Alfred Paget, was promptly held, to determine what course should bo pursued re- specting the Marina, when it was resolved to recom mend to the club, boiclee the prizes given to the 7118 NAVY. The It on-plate Committee, in prosecution of their experiments to ascertain the most efficient mode of applying armour-plates to ships, yesterday attended at Shoeburyness to try a target proposed by M r •. Scott Russell. In this target the armour-plates arc attached by a new method, which obviates the use of bolts. The thickness of the plates is 41 in., but they are supported behind by other plates and iron work, which alone are equal to a stratum almost as thick as the armour, so that the total thickness of iron is little short of 9 inches. No wood is used in this target, but from the great thickness of iron, its weight considerably exceeds that of the Warrior target. It is in fact the heaviest target that has yet been tried. After sustaining the usual battering from 110-pounders and 68-pounders, three shots were fired against it from the 300-pounder, charged from 501 b. of powder. These three shots were each directed against an uninjured part of the tar get. The first and second shots were lodged in the target, and the third went completely through. The mode of attaching the plates seemed very effective, but the resisting power of the target, considering its greater weight, was deemed inferior to that of Warrior. A crack had been previously discovered in one of the external coils of the 300-pounder, but was not thought sufficiently serious to prevent the gun being used. The crack from its rusted state does not appear to be recent, and is supposed to have originated at proof, which was very severe. It will be necessary to remove the fractured coil and replace it with a new one before the gun can be considered perfectly safe. The screw steamship Donegal, 99, Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., which left Vera Cruz on the Bth of March, and Bermuda on the 6th inst., arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning, as already re ported in The Sun. She conveyed from Vera Cruz to Bermuda 110 Marines, of whom 64, sick of fever and dysentery, were sent to Ports Island, in medi cal charge of Dr. Elliott and Dr. Anderson. The Donegal brings from Bermuda 74 Royal Marines, belonging to the Plymouth and Eastern Divisions, under command of Col. Lambriek and Lieutenants Shanks and Barham, and in medical charge of Dr. Elliott; also 62 naval and military invalids, in charge of Dr. Thompson ; Dr. Austen, invalided from the paddlewheel steam sloop Medea, 6 ; Lieu tenants Clarkson and Stewart, 39th Regiment; Commander James A. R. Dunlop, from the screw steam frigate Orlando, 50; and the Rev. Joseph C. Horderne, of the screw steam frigate Diadem, 32. During the expedition to Mexico, 55 Royal Marines, rank and file, died from fever and dysen tery, and one officer, Lieut. Price. These fatalities, and the extent of sickness in the entire force, are unusually large. Dr. Elliott and Dr. Anderson are reported to have attended to their duties most assiduously, The steam corvette Challenger, 22, Capt. J. Kennedy, C. 8., brought to Bermuda 163 Royal Marines left at Vera Cruz by the Donegal. They are to be transferred to the screw steamship Edgar, 89, flag of Rear-Admiral Sidney C. Dacres, C. 8., ordered home. The Nile, Orlando, Mersey, Melpomene, Agamemnon, Hero, Aboukir, Chal lenger, Medea, Petrel, Racer, Landrail, and Nimble left Bermuda on the Gth of May for Hali fax. The Donegal experienced fine south-west winds on her passage to Plymouth. friQate Curanoa arrived yesterday at Spithead from Tito Janeiro. in coming up through the West Channel to Spithead she grounded on a shoal, but got off again without damage. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Fredrick R. Child, master, to the Saturn, for the Lightning; Thomas Bowen, master, to the Wellesley; George S. Alldricks, master, to the Cumberland, fur the Severn ; John Rogers, master, to the Russell, for the Coastguard ; James B. Haye, midshipman, to the Icarus ; Victor E. J. B. Von Donop, midshipman, to the Bacchante; George V. M'Donogh, surgeon, to the Trincomalee ; Angus Robertson, assist.-surgeon, to Hasler Hospi tal; Edward A. Dyer, clerk, to the Nile; Chas. A. Dewar, promoted to first-class assist.-engineer in the Princess Charlotte; and James A. Dicks, confirmed as second-class assist.-engineer in the Cumberland. Two" good service" pensions are placed at the disposal of the First Lord of the Admiralty by the Cromotion of Capt. Geo. Goldsmith, C. 8., and C a pt. harles Frederick to the rank of Rear-Admiral, THE ARMY. The I and R batteries of field artillery, under the command of Col. Anderson, C. 8., stationed at Hil sea, near Portsmouth, and numbers 6,7, 8, and 10 batteries of garrison artillery, under the command of Col. Longdon, the whole being under the com mand of Col. Warde, C. 8., commanding the artil lery in the south-western district, were yesterday officially inspected at Portsmouth by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., commanding the south-west district. The inspection was short owing, to a strong gale from the S.W. accompanied with rain, which prevailed throughout the greater part of the pro ceedings. The appearance of the horses, men, and guns, as the batteries marched past, and also dur ing the movements which followed, elicited general admiration. The marching past of the batteries of the 6th brigade was also worthy of all commenda tion. At the close of the proceedings Lord Paulet, addressing the troops, highly complimented Col. Anderson upon the efficiency of the batteries under his command, and said that from what he had seen of them that day he felt convinced, notwithstanding the short time they had been formed, that they need fear none with whom they might come into contact when in camp , at Aldershot, to which place they were about to proceed. His lordship also compli mented the garrisnn artillery upon their marching past and steadiness under arms, but said their con duct in garrison required amendment, which amend ment he was determined to effect if they remained long enough under his command. The I battery, mounted portion, leave their quarters at Hilsea on the 27th inst. They will halt at Petersfield that night, and proceed on to the camp at Aldershot on the 28th. The dismounted men proceed to Aldershot by rail on the 28th. The K battery, mounted por tion, leave Hilsea on the 28th inst., halting at Peters field for the night and proceeding on to Aldershot on the 29th. The dismounted me n leave Has f or Aldershott, r or Aldershott, by rail, on the 29 th. It is said to b e the intention of the Commander-in -Chief to concentrate 16 batteries of field artillery , 96 12-pounder Arm strong guns, at Aldershott, to take part in the forth coming military spectacles. The Robert Lowe screw steamer, Capt. Congalton, sailed from Kurrachoe on the 28th of February, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope ou the sth of April, and sailed thence on the 9th of April. She steamed from Kurrachce to 10 S., when the south east trades were met with ; and again from 1 S. to 9 N., between the trades in the Atlantic, for five days. poring the whole passage the weather was so fine that not a reef was at any time required to be taken in th© topsails.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, May 23.—1 a yarns we have had rather more business on Wednesday and Thursday, the sudden movement in the Liverpool market in ducing some few buyers to come forward rather more freely. The operations were to supply orders which had been lying over mostly, and were not considerable, but they gave some encouragement, and spinners have been endeavouring to-day to fol low the rise in cotton at Liverpool by asking higher prices. The attempt, however, has been to some ex tent a failure. Buyers show a want of confidence in the maintenance of present rates, and the higher quotations have checked business. There has been very little business effected to-day, but spinners are firmer, and there is less irregularitythan on Tuesday. The same in cloth as in yarns, manufacturers have been asking 3d to 6d per piece more in consequence of the rise in cotton, but agents and sellers generally have been unable to obtain the advance. During Wednesday and yesterday a little more business was done at the turn in favour of sellers,but the improve ment has disappeared to-day, and there is but little doing. It will have been observed that for some time past merchants have abstained a good deal from buying in cloth, and mostly from a distrust in the current range of prices, and that the nearer affairs between theTransatlan tic belligerents have appeared to approach a crisis the greater has been their cau tion. The question now naturally arises, and cannot perhaps yet be answered even approximately— What should be a tolerable safe basis on which to found transactions ? No one expects that cotton will come down to the average prices ruling a few years ago, though there aro people in business ex travagant enough to fix their calculations of the nennt nf_cottnn gtnred iy; A r millions o f bates, and others who go to quit e as opposite an extreme. But the present is an excep tional position, and in this, as in everything con nected with the American struggle, there is no thing in our experience to guide us. Most of the public as well as private sources of information as to the probable quantity to come forward are tainted and untrustworthy. In ordinary times the Southern cotton interest, iu common with American people generally, were always fertile beyond any other in the world in inventing reports which served to pro mote speculation and run up the prices of their staple ; and rumours of " frosts," " the boll," the " wire worm," "floods," and "droughts," have urged thousands of speculators to loss or ruin at Liverpool, and have been repeated till they are stale. The latest accounts now to hand include advises from Louisville, which some regard as a fine illustration of the "siding passion, strong in death," for they state that after the fall of New Orleans the cotton plantations all the way from that city to Memphis were ablaze, and on the faith of that report prices at Liverpool went up nearly id. per pound the other day. Many people here are incredulous, for they say it happens to be a line of country not remarkable for its cotton plantations either as to number or extent, and they are doubt ful of the determination of planters to sacrifice their crops for patriotism when at the same time they are taking such pains to run up the prices in foreign markets, and are so intent on increasing the value of the stock at home. As to the destruction of 10,000 or 11,000 bales at New Orleans, that is a small matter, and may be set beside the ordinary losses by fire and at sea, which never create much sensation. After all Europe has been half idle,and abstaining from using their cotton so long, what would be the destruction of half-a-million or a million bales ? There have been no reliable ac counts of the destruction of cotton to shake the belief here that there will be a very large amount , of cotton to come forward whenever circumstances is permit. The question, " When w ill it come ? more difficult to answer. There can be little doubt that under the most favourable circumstances it will be long in coming, because it is probable that the rivers will be getting low, so as to render inland navigation impracticable in some instances, Whil e large quantities will have to be cleaned and packed, even if there is not delay for want of the coa rse sacking in which it is usually made up, Then, regards other means of tran s p ort, t he railway tracks and bridges have been too much broken up to give much hope of these as an early resource, While the traffic on others is too much interfered with by the m ilitary necessities of the war, to Which co mmerce and everything else must naturally give way. The d i sorgan isation of society will be anoth er source o f delay ; but Americans here say that the bulk of both armies is English, Irish, Scotch, and German, and that this item has been exaggerated. But there is another question, " Will there ever be anything like a full supply of cotton again for our mills from America, now that thousands of negroes have escaped from the plantations, or are receiving their freedom ?" We do not know yet how far the prin.. ciple of emancipation may be carried, nor how far the Southern States may yet have to work out, under laws of freedom, the problem we have had to solve in our own sugar plantations in the West Indies. Will the negroes in a state of freedom prove sufficiently industrious to grow us large and increasing supplies? may yet be a question to determine. These are questions which may take long to settle ; but, at all events, everything seems to point at present to obstructions in the way of trade, however soon the ports may be opened—to frequent and serious fluctuations in prices—and to much doubt whether (except in case of panic or un due alarm) we shall for many years ever sco prices down to the average of ordinary years; [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills..— Diseases of the Chest.—Affections of the lunge and air passages are so prevalent in our climate that it behoves ever y one to know, and have at h and, the means of cure.

Letters of a similar character were received by the wizves of these gentlemen, whose alarm and anxiety of mind can be easily conjectured. The matter was at once made known to the authorities, and an investigation hIS been going on during the day in the magistrates' private room at the police court. It was thought aclviszkble that the inquiry should be strictly private for the present. The whole cause of displeasure known to be given by the gentlemen is, that Mr. Leahy recently sold, and Mr. Galgey purchased, the preper;:v d calle Leshecns, within six miles of this ci t y . W have heard of several other parties, land agents, end in the present unsettled others, who have received notices of a ,similar character." 6h A cm'esPondent infoims us (says the Nenagfb tidin g at, his hall-dour at Lqn , Yflold on Satur dayun,devskor men army ipruachcd n Oven tug last, t d 7.1 j him.

The cause of the hostility of the Ribbon their bus)nesst when on confede racy to Mr. Bianconi is, that on coming into pos -1 session of some property he advanced the rent on the incoming tenants. The fellows, after fulfilling their nefarious mission, turned away, and took h departure with the utmost sang froid. We thaevier not heard whether 3i_tr. Bianconi is able to identify these daring emissarics of the landed pro perty confiscation conclave or not. As a further evidence of the state of the country, we may mention that we have heard that Richard Phillips, Esq., of Gaile, whose property adjoins Mr. Biancsai's, has had also a " friendly warning ”given him not to put into effect notices served by hm of his intention to raise the rent to the standard i fixed by:Mr. Bianconi. A report has reached this town—whether correct or not we are unable to say—that while Mr. John. Carden, of Barnane, was dining with a neighbouring gentleman a couple of evenings ago, information was conveyed to the latter that Mr. Carden would be shot on his return home. The worthy host ac quainted Mr. Carden with the startling intelligence and intimated his desire that he would abandon the idea of going home that night. This suggestion Mr. Carden declined to adept, and then the gentle [ man, who is also a magistrate, had a party of the neighbouring police to escort Mr. Carden to his residence. If this report be correct it affords another terrible illustration of the state to whieh Tipperary is again sinking. We trust for the sake of the [ county the rumour has no foundation in fact. The landsteward at Noan, near Cashel, in the employment of Stanley Black, Esq., recently re ceived, through the post-office, a threatening letter, [ bearing the Thurles post-mark, and addressed to himself. The letter threatened him with the fate of Ellis, if certain parties, against whom decrees for possession were obtained, would be turned out. The Cork. Examiner says :—lnformation bag reached us, of the correctness of which we can enter tain no doubt, that a threatening letter has been sent to a gentleman connected withthe management of land not a very great distance from the city of Cork, and in what is considered one of the most prosperous agricultural districts. The gentleman who has received it is Mr. John Newman Beamishi agent for the property of Capt. Smith Barry, in the neighbourhood of Midleton. We are not inclined to look upon the missive as other than a brutunz fulmen. But it is with the deepest sorrow we learn that the dreadful spirit of agraian outrage has made even so small a step into our peaceful county. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTBE. THE EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES. The committee re-assembled yesterday morning, and evidence in opposition to the bill was resumed. The Right Hon. W. Cowper in the chair. Mr. Pennethorne was recalled, and he stated, in answer to Mr. Hope Scott, Q.C., that the line of street he pro posed at Whitehall was fully before the Royal Commis sioners of 1861. His road would take down Fife House, the Exchequer Office, and Gwydyer House, but in a few ' years a largo amount of CirsmLa 1: or,) they " Metropoli tan A Beard of Works from the Crown, that must be a matter of negotiation ; but whether the Crown was prepared to waive its rights, and give up the ground t. nip Mpirimoli tan Board of Works for this street, ho was not prepared to* say. If the roadway were carried in front of the Duke of Buccleuch's property, it would seriously interfere with many of the present enjoyments, and ho would be entitled to very heavy damages, not by a civil action, but as com pensation under the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act. Ile believed if the deviation of road he had pointed out Were agreed to, that there was not the slightest doubt the Com missioners of Land Revenues would sanction it. Mr. Pollard-Urquhart—You say, if this embankment ig formed, that the gardens of the Duke of Bucclouch would be less enjoyable than they are at present, and that he would be entitled to heavy damages. No doubt you know the gardens of the Tuileries in Paris ? Mr. Pennethorne—Yes; I have seen them. They are public gardens. Mr. P. Urquhart—Well, that being so, do you think that if there was a mud-bank down the middle of them it would be an improvement to them ? (A laugh.) Mr. Pennethorne—l hardly understand the question ; but if you mean that if a mud-bank were passed down the middle of them it would be an improvement to them, I pre" sumo not. Examination continued—lf the Crown lessees on the' banks of the river were to be allowed to derive thewdovuanli tages from the enclosed land, he had no do but that he bl. 9 would,o were make the embankment at their own exp ense, of course, be with the understand in g that th pu that opinion, to be excluded from the use of i t. In giving he did not see that it would interfere with the whole scheme. e In front of the India Board a large addition would be made to the garden ground, and therefore it would be worth tho while of the Crown to make the embankment ; but if the public were allowed to pass along the embankment, the pr i vac y would be destr o y ed, as persons would b e p r ying and looking through the railings. He assumed that an embankment must be made, and that being so, thought it would be better that the lessees of the property on the banks of the river should make it, rather than that their river frontage should be cut off by a roadway on the embankment. The Hon. Charles Gore was examined,—He said he was a c ommissioner of her Majesty' s had superintendence of the Crown Woods propertyanda hout Forests, \v hall. That property is le was a Roy al Commission , to different parties, amongst them th e Duke o presided of Bue c leu c h . over Inby the lB42, E h t r h i l andta e ne r there Lincoln, to consider the question of an embankment, and they reported in f avour - of an embankment from Hunger ford-market to Blackfriars-bridge. He had seen the ofpresent plan, and believed that an embankment in front the Crown property at Whitehall would be a serious injury to the Crown lessees. The Duke of Buccleueli had just built his new house on Crown property. In Juno last a meeting of the Crown lessees was held, and a plan like that produced by Mr. Pennethorne was submitted to them, which would prevent the embankment passing in front of the property of the Crown lessees. It was the duty of the Crown to protect the interests of its lessees. The public convenience would be better served by making the road proposed by Mr. Pennethorne, and widening Parliament-street and King-street,! ;than by a roadway from Westminster-bridge on an embankment. He should be prepared to recommend the Crown to pay the cost of the embankment in front of this property, on condition of the lessees paying an increased rent for the additional ground that would be obtained by it. The Crown la the owner of the foreshore of the Thames. He would recommend the Government to defray the cost of al e e u m lc i bankment in front of the Board of Control , " " the greatly increase the value of the house. By r-- - .f ea r eo the whole of the embankment from Westminete a r-br-thgout any east end of Whitehall-gardens could cost to the public. In his opinion thebed.a:roagede w d l one to -the nt of it would Crown property by carrying a roadwaYbeavy money com bo such as to resolve itself into a , v o ery a deise the Crown to pensation. Ho should be prePary - A by Mr. Pennethorne, and the e w c a r s e prepared i t . t o y . state sanction the roadway proPese - - 7 0 t i f d they would defray the cost thus the compensation to the C.rawnb wOuld be avoided. In cross •exaniincatir?own;n on the part of the of the embankment m s ubject to the Chancellor of the had mentioned the dissented Ex chequer, and he had no t from it, nor had he ; b e net that assented to it. There had been no communication between th e OfOce of Woods, &c., and the C rown l essees since the introduction of the bill. He was prepared to recommend the Crown to make the p ublic should and that the colch had shou ld be excluded from it. The nuk e o f B u a lease granted until 1051, and un til then th e eu Public b e excluded, as they had hith er t o been. When h b lic must he spoke of the Crown protecting the interests of its lessees, he alluded to the duty of the Crown in its character of landlord, and not from any other consideration. After some further evidence to the same effect the com mittee adjourned. We understand that at the meeting of the pro prietors of the London Chartered Bank of Australia, to bo held on the 6th of June, it is the intention of the directors to recommend a dividend of 4 per cent., free of income thertax for the half-year ending Dec, 311ast, and to carry a fur sum of £lO,OOO to the reserve fund, which willthen amount to £60,000.
