By Dr. LA'BIEnx, 37, Bedford-square, London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Sze. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advancedperiod of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous rein3dies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tisinc, with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple; and easy mode of treatment.

' cl Pik 41111 (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) WARSAW, FEB. IG. Whatever may have been the motives of the Russian authorities to deceive the people and the clergy, as toldthe arrival of the Archbishop. Felinski, it is clear that they have failed in accom plishing their purpose, Though it was 10 o'clock in the evening when the train conveying the Arch bishop reached the railway station of Warsaw, which was crowded with soldiers, yet a large con course of people, with lanterns in their hands (as prescribed by the regulations of the state of siege), and the clergy of the diocese, were in attendance to welcome the new dignitary. A carriage was in waiting for the Archbishop, who, in spite of his remonstrances, was escorted by a detachment of gendarmes to his palace. The streets through which he passed were lined with troops ; now and then an exclamation of joy was heard, but the whole proceeding partook too much of a lugubrious aspect, and must have convinced him of the sorrow and suffering which the inhabitants of the whole king dom are enduring at the hands of the government of the " benevolent Alexander II." And yet, strange to say, the Archbishop, in his allocution at the reopening of the churches, exhorts the people to have confidence in the Emperor, who, says he, " is, as ever, well disposed towards the Poles, and promises the realisation of all their wishes, provided they remain quiet, and desist from singing national hymns." He told the people that if any one were to for bid them to pray to God, they were not to obey such an authority, for duty towards men is sub servient to duty towards God. Likewise, should anyone interfere with their prayers for the coun try's good and happiness,',theyiwere not to listen to such injunctions.l "In truth," added he, " were we ever to cease to pray for our beloved country, I would supplicate the Almighty to re move me from this world, and that the Polish women may become childless. However (con tinued the Archbishop), the question is as to the singing of certain hymns unauthorised by the Church, and which I entreat of you not to sing. To renoance singing these certain hymns is not giving up the prayers. I am very happy to open to-day the churches in which we can again pray; but I beg of you most earnestly, and I conjure you to cease for a time singing the prohibited hymns. Those songs were good, for they informed the authorities what we desired ; but now the au thorities are, acquainted with our wishes and know our demands. " Thus I am desirous that you should partake of a cheering hope—our monarch wishes to satisfy the wants of our country. I have conversed with the monarch at some length, and he has told me that he will not deprive us neither of our nationa lity nor of our religion—that he will fulfil his pro mises—that he will grant us everything we wish; but upon this sole condition, that the country should remain tranquil, and the obnoxious hymns be not sung. " You will answer, perhaps, that the promises made by the monarch have never been fulfilled. To this I will reply, I have a positive assurance of the monarch that they shall be performed. Let us accept our present situation, and let us not incur the reproach of having prevented ourselves the carrying out of those promises which are to secu re the well-being of our country, and the safety of so many unfortunate countrymen. " I supplicate you, then, in the name of God, and in that of our country, to cease those songs and those manifestations. Believe me that I only desire the good of our country. Have confidence in me ; and let those who have this confidence in me kneel down and receive my benediction." The whole of the congregation bowed down to earth and received the holy benediction. Who could have resisted so:soul-stirring an exhortation, and dared to doubt the words coming from so exalted a prelate ? Would to God they were the words of hope and consolation. A time must be given to see how far the Imperial promises may go. But people here have for so many years lived in the land of doubt, that they venture no remark, lest the new Archbishop may, with all his personal virtues, as the Marquis Wielopolski, become a dupe of the astute Muscovite policy. One thing that has astonished the people is, that Monsignor Felinski neither in his allocution, nor his pastoral letter to the clergy, has offered the least sympathy with the Canon Bialobrzewski and other Catholic priests, who, for their faith and attach ment to the Church, are pining away in the mines of Siberia or in the depth of Russia. Still, let us wait and see what the Russian Emperor's word is worth. The Marquis Wielopolski, as if ashamed of him self, remains in St. Petersburg under the pretext of being detained by the Emperor. The fact is nobody wants him there. The Emperor had made what use he wanted of him, and dismissed him from his office with the usual Russian reward, viz., one of the numerous orders in which Russia abounds, and an autograph letter of thanks, which are stereotyped, and like a bundle of prospectuses in England, fill up the shelves of His Imperial Majesty's private cabinet. As if to add insult to the words of the Archbishop Felinski, the court martial has just despatched four gentlemen of the highest literary attainments to Vologda and Wiatka, in Siberia. Their names are Henry Krajewski, Alexandre Krajewski, and TokarzeNN ski ; the fourth, Mr. Ehrenberg, is not yet gone, on account of dangerous illness which con fines him to his bed. COOKERY FOR THE SICK, and Medical Timesd Gazette says:—The culinary art formerly occupied more of the attention of physicians than at present. Not long after the revival of medical learning in England, we find erudite Doctors of both the Universities publishing treatises the c o h e g mysteries an ,s, tin of Health," , o a f v kitchen Haven e a a n l dlr der Such books and Mouffet's " Health's Improvement ; or Rules Com prising and Discovering the Nature, Method, and Manner of Preparing all Sorts of Food Used in this Nation,' are chiefly curious to the antiquary for the insight they afford into the domestic manners of the Elizabethan period, but they also forcibly illustrate the importance which the physicians of those days attributed to a study of the art of dining. In these modern times cookery books no longer quote from Galen, and Soyer's Treatises have replaced the Schatz Saturn: It is a question, however, whether a little more attention on the part of the profession to la d e subject evoefnnow, thescien h t e ifi ar e preparation of food w on good fruit. But , be this as it may, an incalculable advantage which the rich patient has over the poor, is the benefit he derives from a careful adap wchhoeasupniteit wealthy of recovery f ee - p a y e r . t a ti o n of his bill of fare.

We have also received an annual report of a charity known vs the " Invalids' Dinner Table," which is carried on in Duke street, Lisson-grove. The establishment dur ing the past year has supplied 3,415 dinners to 540 convalescents and invalids at the cost of something under £l5O. It is not our wish for a moment to criti cise the details of so admirable an undertaking, or we might suggest to the management that live ounces of cooked meat is hardly sufficient animal food for the principal meal of an adult re covering from acute disease. Six members of the medical profession have undertaken the inspec tion of the invalid's dinner table, and visit it in monthly rotation. The report clearly s hows thtit t . is a the main motive which has influence d the founders of this charity has been a religious one : I . patent fact that, the present development t o i l reli b ious and more of feeding benevolence is becoming daily more rac cal. feeding and through hear less of the purely assthctic, the hungry and clothing the naked.

Baroche, minister without portfolio, replied to the attacks against the laws and the Government made by certain journals. Prince NAPOLEON said he could not be silent after the speech of the Marquis de la Rochejacquelein In this place (said the Prince) we all speak out before France and Europe. I consider the speech of the hon. marquis as more than a discourse—it is the programme of the counter-revolution. Since, then, the revolution is attacked, it is my part to declare that I am its sincere defender. The Empire is founded on the principles of the revolution, cor rectly understood. Noticing the animadversions of the marquis upon the democratic press, the Prince quoted as a set-off a very violent article from the Journal de Verone, in which a war with the " de facto government" of France was contemplated, and Austria put for ward as the power which was to suppress the revolution everywhere. While making these references the Prince was interrupted by the Count de Bourqueney, who observed that the Aus trian government did not exercise a preventive censure. He replied that the Journal do Verone was written by a mercenary Italian, who was lodged in a casemate, with a sentry over him to protect him from the vengeance of his countrymen. He added that the article was published while the Em peror Francis Joseph was at Verona. A sure instinct, said the Prince, impels you to attack M. de Per signy. You know him as the ardent and faithful defender of liberal and popular Napoleonism. The Prince then referred to the banquet given by the democratic press to M. Ratazzi, and explained the arrangement of the toasts, and quoted from the speech of that statesman words in honour of the Emperor. The bust of the Emperor, he Added, was in the room. But, said the speaker, do you know where they break the busts of the Emperor, and tread them under foot ? It is in the army of the so-called sol diers of the Pope, commanded by M. de Merode. M. de la Rechejacquelein must needs be well informed by his friend, General Goyon, on these matters. He knows what took place when nothing but the priest's soutane restrained a French general and an aide-de-camp of the Emperor from avenging an in sult offered to his sovereign. It is at Rome, and not in the French democratic press, that you must look for the most bitter hatred of all that bears the name of Napoleon. The hon. marquis has spoken of the principle of hereditary right. True, the Government of France is hereditary, but it is so that it may apply the great principles of the revolution. It is not hereditary according to the principles of divine right which you honour. Here the Prince quoted the answer of Napoleon in 1804 to the Senate which brought him the senatus•consulte declaring his dynasty hereditary :—" I hope France will never be sorry for having surrounded my family with honours. In any case my spirit will be with my descendants no longer than they continue to deserve the love and confidence of this great nation." This is how the Emperor understood the hereditary suc cession. And what happened subsequently ? When, after immense disasters, a ray of light seemed to break on France, and the Emperor returned from the Isle of Elba, to overthrow the Government of th: hr R e storation, what eloquent words h the nation, an d identified tew himself upon know i n himself with its interests, its honour, its glory. And what cries did he hear as he advanced from the Mediterranean to Paris, carried on the arms of the people and the army ? " Down with the nobles ! Down with the emigrants! Down with the trai tors !". t r: (The latter word " traitres" was generally mistaken for " pretres.") Immense confusion fol lowed these words, and several senators called out, " We have had enough of the revolution." The Marquis dela Roehejaquelein—Bravo, bravo ! we are now in full sail. This frankness will be useful. Prince Napoleon—Yes ; I defend the revolution I glory in it. We are revolutionists—upright revolutionists. A Senator—No upright revolutionist cries " Down with society." Another Senator—lt is not revolutionism, it is demagogy. The Marquis de la Rochejacquelein—lt is in stinctiYe ; it will out. Count Segur d'Aguesseau—Call him to order, M. le President. The President—Monsigneur, you have called some sad scenes to mind, and I do not think your Numerous voices —Order, order. Prince Napoleon—l do no t acce pt thi s ca ll t o o h r is de o r riy c.iels quite sound. In the Senate of France I am entitled to say that the return from Elba was not a sad re membrance but a glory to our country. The President—The return was glorious ; the sad part of it was the manifestations with which, as you allege, it was accompanied. The Duke de la Force — lt is not true that th e peopleagainst andarni al yi l th ab a r t inging Napoleon ba c k cla mmakes the glo r y o f mo d ern nation —nobility, society. He came back by desire of the wh o l e n _ n obility, people, and clergy. Baron de Lacrosse -- Let an eye-witness ju s t s t a t e the fact. _ . Prince Napoleon--I have stated a fact. Several voices—lt is untrue; it is an insult to all the world. Count de la Marro—l was there; nothing of the kind was said ; the people shouted " Vivo I'Em pereur." General LaNVCCStille — l heard what people said at that time, and I Protest — Baron Lacrosse—l demand leave to bear my testimony. I was appointed to escort the Emperor on his triumphant march to Paris. The Emperor would never have allowed anybody to surr oun d hi m with these anarchical, odious and anti-social cries. We cannot have the cry of "Down with the nobles —down with the priests," raised here to-day under the pretence of an historical citation. Prince Napoleon—Do you pretend to deprive me of the right to continue my speech ? I neither ap prove nor disapprove; I cite the testimony of many historians. In my opinion the emp i re signifies the destruction of the treaties of 1815, within the limits of the force and the interest of France—it is the maintenance of the grand unity of Italy, in future our indispensable ally. At home, is that order which has no more ardent defender than myself combined with wise and serious liber ties, foremost among them the liberty of the press ; it is popular instruction diffused without limits, but not given by religious congregations ; it is the well-being of the masses; it is the destruction of the bigotry of the middle ages which some would impose on us. Cardinal Donnet—Pray do not use such expres sions. Who thinks of imposing bigotry on you ? Prince Napoleon, resuming, read an extract from the works of Victor Cousin, in which that writer said that France was not fickle or difficult to govern, but fixed in its desires and very easy to govern, and that it wished merely the regular and peaceable development of the principles of the re volution. The prince said that those also were his opinions. Referring, then, to the speech of the Marquis de la Rochejacquelein, the prince said the policy of the marquis had for one of its conse quences an alliance with Austria and the destruc tion of Italian unity, the reconstitution of the tem poral power of the Pope, and the restoration of the deposed princes. At home he would proscribe the whole democratic and liberal press, from the Siecle to the Debats. This is the spectacle of society which the hon. marquis would prepare for us at home and abroad. We know his system; it is not new. It is la terreur blanche, supported by foreign bayonets. We will never endure it. When you had made a clean sweep of what you call revolu tionary principles, and the present Government had no rational ground to stand on, the Duke of Bordeaux would be called for by the force of things to the throne of the Emperor. For my part I say boldly that I have no fear for the Government which is rooted in the hearts of the people; and while it remains true to the principles of nationali ties abroad, and to the liberal and popular sentiment at home, it may defy all, even the agitation of the clergy. I tell the hon. marquis that our principles are different. Neither of us is ashamed of his origin. Our antecedents, our families are different. Whereas his honourable ancestors fell on the battle fields of civil war under French arms, our fathers fell at 'Waterloo under English bullets. (Immense interruption.) Count de Segur d'Aguesseau—l\l. President, we shall be drawing the sword presently, if you don't take care. Prince Napoleon—l fear I have infused more ani mation than I desired into this debate. I may have expressed my conviction with too much energy. Permit me to appeal to your moderation. Count de Segur d'Aguesseau—Our former mode ration was exploite, and we can't bo taken in a second time. Prince Napoleon said ho would read a short pas sago from Thiers, which exactly summed up his opinions :—" I belong to the party of the revolution, as well in France as in Europe. I desire that the Government of France may remain in the hands of moderate men. I will do all that I can that it may continue there ; but although the Government should pass into the hands of men less moderate than myself--ardent men, Radicals—l would not abandon my course on that account ; I should still be of the party of the revolution." (This discourse was succeeded by long agitation, and the suspension of the sitting.) When the Senate resumed the President said it was the turn of the Marquis de la Rochejacquelin to speak, but it was remarked that Prince Napoleon had not returned. The Marquis commenced by saying that a great event had taken place, but the expression was objected to. He complained that when they had come there loyally and faithfully upon the invitation of the Emperor they should be accused of setting forth a programme of counter revolution ; that any one should say to them, " I am the revolution, you are the co unter revolution." The hon. marquis continued his speech amidst the interruption of both friends and oppone n t s , an d great confusion ensued. The Duke de la Force ex claimed, " We are all attacked, We and our fath ers ." The Senate loudly called for a termination of the debate. M. Billault (Minister without portfolio) said it was not proper under the circumstances that the Government should remain silent, and permit its character for moderation and foresight, and the re spect which it alw a y s paid to whatever was worthy in the past, to be en dan g ere d . It was tr ue th e em pire was born of the revolution, but its duty was to direct and moderate it. Difficulties, he said, had been raised, and much disquietud e h a d b een pro duced. The Emperor knew, how ever, that one o f the most powerful of the forces of society was reli gion, which he seconded, and neither violence, nor injustice, nor alarms would make him forget that it is one of the great social bases on which civilisa tion reposes. The Emperor will never deny the revolution, but it was the revolution conciliatory and honest, at once prudent and pro gress i ve , w hi c h he sought to maintain. M. Billault developed this principle at some len g th, and at the c l ose o f his k;peceli the Senato rose, MR. DIGBY SEY MOUR AND THE 111IDDLE TEMPLE, The following judgment was affixed to the great screen in Middle Temple Hall—the ordinary means of publishing notifications addressed to the mem bers of the Inn—on Saturday last. Copies of it were also, we are informed, sent to the other Inns of Court : " The Masters of the Bench have carefully con sidered the voluminous evidence and documents which have been brought before them, and have come to the conclusion that the charges in the cases of Parker,' Coutts,' and Robertson,'resnectively are not proved, and that the charge as to a proposal to hold briefs for an attorney, in liquidation of his costs payable by you, is proved. " The facts and circumstances which are disclosed fully satisfied the Masters of the Bench of the necessity for this inquiry, and they regret to add that they cannot accompany their intimation to you of their decision on the three charges first named with any declaration that your conduct is not liable to censure; on the contrary, they have the painful duty to perform of stating to you that they find much worthy of severe condemnation, even on the most favourable construction of your actions ; that, in Parker's case, on your own statement of your conduct, evidence appears of a want of open dealing towards and of concealment from Mr. Parker. Mr. Parker's agreement with you, on your own version of it, was inconsistent with your substitution of your credit for the money you undertook to add to his own, and with the use of his money for any purpose unconnected with the printing scheme. The breach of your agreement in these two respects was not communicated to Mr. Parker, whose con sent alone could have justified the course to which you actually resorted. _ , " The Masters of the Bench are also under the painful necessity of declaring their opinion that the settlement of Mr. Parker's action, while the charges of fraud included in it were, in the opinion of the Bench, not only not withdrawn, but were strongly re-asserted, as it was conduct calculated to destroy character by exciting suspicions that charges which were not boldly met could not be gainsaid, was an arrangement to which a right-minded man, even in the hour of heavy pecuniary distress, would not have submitted. " They are compelled to add that no solid ground presents itself on the evidence in justification of the affidavit which was made by you for the purpose of postponing the trial of the action in question. " With respect to Captain Robertson's case there is found in your statements at various times, in re lation to that case, a want of consistency which in. dicates some recklessness of assertion. Your asser tion, so often repeated, that 'you had generously taken upon yourself very large liabilities which did not in any way belong to you, as you assert your self to have been totally unconnected with and in nocent of the transaction termed rigging the market,' is at variance with the statement in your letter to Mr. Lefroy, that the debt was as much Captain Robertson's as your own. The Masters of the Bench are unable to reconcile an act which, ac cording to your version of it, would have been one of romantic generosity and self-devotion (scarcely consistent with your duties to others and with the reasonable claims of justice), with other portions of the evidence, and with the ordinary presumptions which arise from your conduct, as disclosed through out these painful transactions. "The fourth charge relates to a matter of a diffe rent character. The Masters of the Bench are glad to find that it is not justified by you ; but the grounds on which you attempted to palliato y our conduct are not satisfactory to them. Your proposal was one most improper from a barrister to an at torney, and invited a breach of duty on the part of the attorney; a client could never be likely to sus pect his attorner from secret motives of interest, was selecting an advocate for him whom otherwise be might not have chosen. It is conduct, therefore, promoting deception, and likely to generate sus picion where confidence should prevail. If such a practice were tolerated it would lower the charac ter and honour of both branches of the profession, and would be injurious to the public, not only by reason of such debasement, but also by its tendency to introduce into, or maintain in the practice of their profession, men more distinguished by the pliancy of their principles than by the gifts of nature improved by an industrious and honest pur suit of eminence by honourable means." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SLY. Sir,—With reference to a letter in 2he Sun of to-day, signed "T. H. Dakyns," and stating that a copy of the proceedings before the Benchers of the Middle Temple was furnished to me before I ad dressed my constituents at Southampton, I beg to refer you to the report of my speech in your columns, which contains the following paragraph : " Now, I answer to the questions of my anonymous inter rogator, that th© printed evidence of everything which took place during an eight months' investigation, with closed doors, is open for his inspection, or for the gratification of his curiosity, at any hour or place he chooses to appoint." —I have the honour to be, S,r, your obedient servant, DIGBY SEYMOUR. 2, Doctor Johnson's-buildings, Temple, E.C., February 22. RAILWAY AND PUBLIC CO?►IPANIES IN PARLIAMENT. On Friday, before the examiners, the bill of the Carnarvonshire Railway, to construct lines from Carnarvon to Port Madoc, and to raise for that purpose £200,000, and borrow £66,500, was de clared to have complied with the standing orders of Parliament. Two committees have been appointed to sit and decide on the various read bills, some 2) in number, and four more on a variety of undertakings for drainage and improvement, which have been classi fied into groups. NEW HARBOURS AND PlERs.—The Admiralty and Board of Trade have reported their assent on certain conditions to the following proposed new harbours and piers on different parts of the British coast :—St. Ives Pier, Cornwall, proposed to be carried out 540 feet below high-water mark, and in a depth of 30 feet at time of high water ; Deal and Weimer Pier, for a pier on iron piles, 920 out at sea, 'with a general width of 20 feet, and at the head of 40 feet, height of platform above high-water mark 13 feet, and an average depth at the head of the pier at low water spring tides of 10 feet, so as to insure landing and embark ing at all times of tide ; Pier and Harbour at Hast ings, opposite the present fish market and beaching ground, composed of iron screw piles, with stone hearting up to high water mark, commencing from the site of the old fort on the west, and 1,650 feet in a southerly direction, and then curving eastward 1,230 feet. Also a similar pier or breakwater 1,200 feet east of the other from the "Rock a Nore ;" 1,650 feet in a line nearly parallel to the western pier. These works will enclose a harbour area, at time of high water, of 57 acres, and secure a depth of 10 feet at low, and from 20 to 30 feet at high water, with an entrance at the south-east corner of 300 feet wide. The select committee of the House of Commons sat and considered the petitions of the following companies, praying that the standing orders might be dispensed with in their favour, and the com mittee, upon certain conditions, decided they might: —London and Midland Junction Railway Company, on depositing fresh books of reference, and on giving fresh notice to occupiers whose names have been omitted ; London, Brighton, and South Ccast Rail way (new lines), on the same conditions; also in the ccso of the Wellington, Drayton, and Newcastle Railway Company, and the Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway Company. The committee also reported that the Kettering and Thrapston Railway Com pany, the Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Railway Com pany, the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dunfermline Rail way Company, and the Merthyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny Railway Company, might proceed with, their bills, the latter company undertaking to strike out the power to lease a part only of their railway. Four committees to inquire into the merits of railway bills have been appointed, to commence their sittings on 4th and sth March respectively. AMERICA. (Per Africa, via Queenstown.) NEW YORK, FEB. 12, MORNING. Gen. Burnside's expedition has taken possession of Roanoke Island, and completely destroyed the Confederate fleet. On the 9th inst. the expedition attacked Elizabeth City, whieh the inhabitants evacuated. It wes completely burnt, either by them or by the shells from the Federal fleet. The Federals had occupied Elizabeth City, and were advancing on Eden Town. The engagement was severe. It is reported that there were 1,000 killed and wounded on each side. The Southern journals consider the loss of these positions as very serious. The Emperor Napoleon's speech, to the Corps Legislatif was generally well received in New York, and affected the stock market favourably. The Senate finance committee will report on the bill for the issue of 150,000,000 dols. of Treasury notes as legal tender, and making the interest on Government bonds payable in coin. The assistant treasurers will receive on deposits Treasury notes in sums of not less than 500 dols., and will pay_inte rest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on such deposits. These deposits must not at any time exceed 25,000,000 dols. It is provided that the duties and the proceeds of the sales of Government property shall be set apart for the payment in coin of the interest or 'the United States , debt, and to purchase 1 per cent. of the entire debt yearly, which will be set apart as a sinking fund, the inte rest of which fund will be applied to the payment of the public debt. The Federals have seized the bridge across the Tennessee River, thus cutting off the main com munication between Memphis and Columbus. General Grant was going to attack Fort Donnelson with eight batteries of artillery. The place is re ported to be occupied by 8,000 Confederates. It is rumoured that the Ccnfederates have evacuated Bowling Green. The defence committee in Congress will report in favour of the establishment of a national foundry and depot of arms at Chicago, naval depots on Lakes Michigan, Erie, and Ontario, and the construction of fortifications along the northern frontier. Commander Dupont states that the only entrance to Charleston now practicable is through the Swash Channel and a portion of Maffitt's Channel. A bill will be introduced into Congress giving the President power to forbid the exportation, during the present rebellion, of any commodity, the loss of which would be detrimental to the pub lic interest. In Congress, during the discussion on the Fedi tification Bill, Mr. Doolittle said he did not believe in the danger of a war with any maritime power, and referred to the Emperor Napoleon's speech as a sign of peace.

The Hamburg and American Company's steamer Bavaria, with the English, French, and German mails, arrived off Cowes this morning. She left New York at noon on the Bth inst. She brings 77 passengers and 464,223 dols. in specie, of which 189,650 dols. are for England, 254,975 dols. for France, and the remainder for Hamburg. The Bavaria spoke the following ships during her pas sage :—Off Sandy Hook, the Hamburg ship Mary Ross, bound to New York ; on the 15th, in lat. 45 55, lon. 37 30 \Y., the Dutch brig Urneroa, bound westward ; on the 17th, in lat. 47 20, lon. 37 30 W., the Austrian brig Voloscano, from New York for Antwerp; and on the 19th, in lat. 48, long. 17 15 W., a ship showing 3d distinguishing pennant No. 6,370, bound from Calloa for Cork. The news by the Bavaria has been anticipated. A letter from Hyeres of the 16th inst. says that the famous Confederate steam privateer Sumter will cer tainly become a legendary vessel. She has reappeared in the roads of Hyeres at the moment it was thought she was half way across the Atlantic. Her presence has caused great alarm among the ships of the Federal Government which are loading salt in the neighbourhood. The Sumter deliberately hoists the Confederate flag. " She evidently feels confident," says the writer of the letter, " in the good faith with which the French Government observes the neutrality, for a single broadside from one of the ships at anchor in the roads of Hyeres would be sufficient to sink her." ANOTHER COLLIERY ACCIDENT, NEAR MOLD.— Three more lives have been lost by an accident which occurred at one of the pits belonging to the Messrs. Dar lington, between Hawarden and King's Ferry. Three men, named Prince, Jones, and Weigh, were engagedin repairing the pit, standing on a suspended stage, when ono of the connecting ropes broke, and the unfortunate men wore pred cipitated down the pit into water abou t 10 yards deep a n were drowned. TILE BARON DE VIDIL.—An attempt has been made to obtain the release of the Baron do VI dil by a num ber of his friends, and, for the purpose of strengthening it, the son was applied to, to ascertain if he was willing to be a party to the application. He positively refused, and said he should not interfere in any way in the matte:. On this being communicated to the baron, he called upon those who were moving in the matter, in the most imperative manner, to desist from their efforts, and the prisoner will remain till his term has expired.—Observer. THE MARQUIS Nk OP . TESTMINSTER'S DIAMONDS.— We have heard people talk of Prince Esterhazy's jewels, but we need not go so far as Austria for some first-rate specimens, English by ownership, though not of home manufacture. It is well known that the insignia of the late Marquis of Westminster were far more splendid than those of any other E night of the Garter. The jewels that he wore at Court on " collar days," and other grand occa sions, were of enormous value, and two of them were made heir looms by his will. Some idea of the value of the entire set may be formed when we state that one of the diamonds which Lord Westminster was accustomed to wear on the pommel of the sword which he used on State occasions, cost him no less than £30,000. —Once a 11 7 cch.
