" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte resting information, while those who have already encouraged this new system will derive additional advantage if they observe some of the p , actical regulations which the writer endeavours to enforce."—Herald and Standard, N0v.12, 1801. " The Post-office Turkish Bathg, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician; he has nowproved himself to boa worthy philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practioe of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the beat 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. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels himself regenerated and new made, it is on:coming out; of:a Turkish Bath."—Bra, Oct 13, 1861. Consultations daily till 12 a.m. S THE FACULTIES OF THE BODY, in harmony with those of THE MIND, approach deve loped, maturity, the rising human being, surrounded by factitious circumstances—s , me salutary, some pernicious— becomes susceptible of impressions which, accordingaccordin<t to the degree of PRUDENCE and xriowLEDGE with which he is en dowed, may be the sources of happiness or of unspeakable misery. Some of the most deadly and terrible of the influences last referred to originate at that period when parents fondly hope that the objects of their , love are being prepared to fight honourably the great battle of life—namely, the scholastic and collegiate period. Habits are then contracted, in unsuspecting ignorance of their effects, which, if not ar rested, tend to sink the VICTIMS OF ERROR to the deepest depths of degradation and woe. The evil is aggravated by the apathy too generally evinced by the medial profession, not only as to the nature but the very existence of the diseases arising from the cause indicated, and to which the general and inadequate designation of "Nervous Disorders and Debility" has been given. One of the consequences of this neglect is, that the treatment of the most delicate classes of disease which afflict society has been taken up by unqualified and uneducated persons.

Society of Apothecaries, &c., 37, Bedford-square, London, IS THE ONLY PRACTITIONER REGULARLY QUALIFIED AND REGISTERED who has devoted his exclusive attention for 20 years to the cure of these affections, which war with the very fountains of human HAPPINESS, HEALTH, and FUNCTIONAL VIGOUR.

The CuAIRMA) congratulated the shareholders on whit he had no doubt they would consider the satisfactory posi tion of the company. Six years ago, when the Aberdeen and Midland Railways were amalgamated, it was with great difficulty that the Aberdeen Company were able to devote 18,000 in the half-year to payment of the preference sham holders, while on the Midland section they ware only able to pay a3lp( r cent. dividend. In making up the accounts everything that ought to be charged against the revenue of the half- year yearhas ot e e n r, asfully and fairly c h arge d. Th o li ne was in olso the working stock, no ex pense having been spared to keep them in an efficient con dition. The report was adopted. The dividends of 15s. per cent. on the Aberdeen ordinary stock, and £2 12s. 6d. per cent. on the Scottish Midland stock were declared, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. NORTS BRITISH. The directors' report states that the receipts for the half year ending Jan. 31 amounted to £ 1 77,915, as compared with £169,642 for the corresponding half of the preceding year, showing an increase of £8,273. The working expenses amounted to £75,898, as compared with £70,857 at the cor responding period, showing an increase of £5,041, leaving the net increase on the working £3,232. They were enabled, after paying the augmented obligations undertaken by the company in respect of new capital, to recommend a divi dend on the consolidated stock at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, leaving a balance of £1, 054 . Notwithstanding vari ous impediments to the progress of the works, a very few weeks would now suffice for the opening of the whole rail way from Hawick to Carlisle, including the Canobie branch. The capital account to the 31st January showed that £5,187,844 had been expended. OP IRELAND. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN The report of the dirocters states that the traffic receipts for the past half-year amounted on the line from Dublin to Athlone, and on the Longford and Cavan branches, to £91,434, against 486,893 in the correspondi ng half of the preceding year, showing an increase of £4,541. The traffic receipts on the railway and canal amounted to £105,453, and the preceding half -653. To this sum the disbursements ,4 t 44 0 £ t h56e,8 surplusoo, leaving f v r i o n m g year, making a disposable sum of £52,097, from which the directors recommended that a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, be declared, amount ing to £46,973, leaving a surplus of £5,124. The accounts of the extension from Athlone to Galway showed a deficiency of X 663 on the working of the traffic for the half-year. The extension railway from Longford to Sligo would be ready for opening in the course of the present year. The works on the Liffey branch and the Clara junction were in a for ward state, The total capital expended appeared from the balance-sheet to be £3,129,903, including £112,911 invested in shares of other companies. SOUTH EASTERN. The gross traffic receipts on this company's line for the four weeks and one day ending the Ist of March amounted to £66,901, from which was deducted £2,302 for collecting and delivering goods, &c., leaving £64,599. To this sum was added £1,893 for rents. and sundries, and £2,756 for the steampacket service, making the total receipts £69,248. From this was deducted the expenditure of £41,590, includ ing rates, taxes, tolls, Government duty, and expenses of steampacket service, leaving a net balance of £27,658. MELBOURNE AND HOBSON'S BAY. The traffic receipts on this company's line (five miles in length) amounted-for the week ending the 26th of De cember last to £1,820 against £1,715; for the week ending the 2d January to £2,146 against £2,192; for the week ending the 9th January to £1,863 against £1,662; and for the week ending the 16th of January to £1,849 against £1,281. The total receipts for the four weeks amounted to £7,678 against £6,850 for the corresponding weeks in the preceding year, showing an increase of £B2B. The receipts averaged £384 per mile per week against £342/ per mile per week in the corresponding weeks of 1860-61. RAILWAY BILLS. On Monday, in the case of the Weymouth and Portland Railway Company, for a new line from Weymouth to the Isle of Portland, the preamble was passed by the com mittee. Lord Palmerston was examined ou the merits of the Launceston and South Devon Railway Bill, the preamble of which was also passed. The bill of the Norwich and Spalding !Railways, for an extension of their line to Wisbeach, was rejected. The other bills forwarded a stage were those in the An dover and Redbridge Committee; in the Barnsley Coal, and the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway Com mittees. Yesterday the bill of the Spalding and Bourn Railway, for connecting the Norwich and Spalding, and Bourn and Essendine, and the Great Northern Railways, was passed in committee. The bill of the Kington and Eardisley, for a line between those places and for vesting in the company the Kington Railway, was approved and passed. The bill Of the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, for deviations, was thrown out, and that of the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax, for a line in substitution of their Batley branch, was passed. Further evidence was adduced in the committees on the Crystal Palace and South Junction Railway, and on the Great Western and Andover and Redbridge Railways. The evidence in favour of the Barnsley Coal Railway Ex tension was continued, and the clauses of the Weymouth and Portland Railway Bill were considered and settled. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the .Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The returns for London for the week that ended last Sa turday exhibit a decrease on the high mortality of the pre vious week. The deaths last week were 1,423. The average number corrected for corresponding weeks in 10 years 1852- 61 is 1,408. The actual mortality differed little from the amount as obtained by calculation fi om the returns of for mer years for tb.o second week in March. Tho deaths from typhus are still very numerous, though the number is not quite so high as that of the previous week. They rose in that week to 123; they were last week 108. Twelve of these occurred in the London Fever Hos pital. There were 4in the sub-district of St. Marylebone ; there were also 4 in that of St. Mary, St. George-in-the. East. The Eastern division of London appears to be that in which the fever chiefly prevails. There were 49 deaths from scarlatina, 6 of which occurred in the West sub-dis trict of Islington ; and there were 19 from diphtheria. There were 162 deaths from phthisis, and almost the same number from bronchitis. Two deaths from typhoid fever occurred in the City of London Workhouse at Bromley. Seven deaths from fever in the workhouse at Mile-end New Town. There were four from typhus in St. Luke's Workhouse, H ex t en N ew T A man, aged 28 years, at Walham-green, was suffocated by the impaction of meat in his glottis. A girl, 6 years old, nuts.

A report was brought up from the improvement committee stating that negotiations had been entered into with the owner of the house, No. 10, Old Broad-street, who had agreed to set back the front of that house, as required by the Court, for the sum of £795, and this amount they recommended should be paid as soon as the house should have been re built and the ground laid into the street. The com mittee laid before the Court a deed for execution, by which Capt. Reid agreed to set back the adjoin ing houses, Nos. 8 and 9, to the same line without any cost to the public. _ _ _ The report having been agreed to, the deed was at once executed. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. A report was brought up from the same com mittee, stating that the Remembrancer had reported to them that the bill of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway contained provisions which would affect the city of Lpndon. They therefore requested the Court to empower them to examine the bill, and report thereon to the Court. Agreed to. A report was brought up from the General Pur poses Committee, 'recommending that the applica tion made by Mr. George Walter, to have Little New-street and New-street-square watered during the ensuing season, should be complied with. The report was agreed to. The principal clerk (Mr. Joseph Daw) read a let ter from Mr. Pollard, the clerk to the Metropolitan Board of Works, informing the Court that the Board had agreed to contribute one-third of the cost of a proposed improvement in Throgmorton-street, by setting back the house No. 39 in that street, such contribution not to exceed £305 6s. Bd. SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer of health, re ported on the state of 307 houses that had been in spected during the last two weeks, and he submitted a list of 104 places for sanatory improvement. He likewise submitted certificates of the using of Nos. 21 and 22, Union-court, Holborn ; Nos. 27, 28, and 29, Castle-street ; and No. 1, Norwich-court, as common nightly lodging-houses—all of which re quired registration. The following are extracts from his report re specting the sale of diseased meat in the City markets : " In the course of the last fortnight the officers have seized 4,763 lbs. of meat, and 111 head of poultry and wild fowl, as unfit for human food. It consisted of 59 sheep, 3 calves, 14 pigs, 27 quarters of beef, and 45 joints of meat ; 3,269 lbs. of meat were diseased, 182 lbs. putrid, and 1,312 lbs. were from animals that had died from natural causes. Some of this meat was little better than carrion, and having been condemned by the justice he submitted that the City solicitor should be instructed to take further proceedings. The practice of sending diseased meat to the City markets is again on the increase, and it was to be regretted that in a few cases the salesmen do not give that assistance to the officers which they ought. On Saturday last one of the inspectors seized the carcase of a sheep which had been slaughtered while in a state of acute disease, and had been sold as hu man food by Messrs. Bonser and Sons, of Newgate market. Those gentlemen complained in a public manner of the act of the inspector, and had stated that although the animal was diseased, and the meat was not of first quality, it was, nevertheless, fit for human food. The terms and directions of the act of Parliament are so precise, and the responsibili ties of the inspector's duties so serious, that he has no alternative but to seize such meat. By the 26th clause of the City of London Sewers Act, 1851, it is declared that if, after the seizure of such meat by an inspec tor, and upon further examination by him (the medical officer) it is found and declared to be diseased, or unsound, or unwholesome, or not fit for the food of man, the same shall be immediately burned or destroyed, or otherwise disposed of in such way as to prevent the same from being ex posed for sale, or being used for the food of man. In the present case, the meat was not only diseased, but the animal had been killed while in a state of high fever from acute inflammation of the lungs and pleura, and was manifestly unfit for human food. This conclusion was derived, not merely from the fact that there were pleuralic adhesions be tween the lungs and chest, for these alone are of small importance, and are never regarded as serious signs when they are of old standing. It is rare, indeed, to fiud an animal entirely free from them, although its flesh may be in the soundest condition. They are, in fact, the signs of disease which have passed:away. In the present case, however, the whole of the walls of the chest were covered with recently effused lymph,whichwas hanging uuon them in pulpy threads. The pleura was in a state of active in flammation, and the animal, at the time of its death, was suffering from acute pleura.pueumonia. The whole system, therefore, must have participated in the disease, and have been affected with the con comitant fever. The meat of such an animal, how ever good it may appear, cannot be good for human food,and the inspector would be wanting in his duty if he were to fail to seize it. It may be that the dis ease had lasted but for a short time, and that the act of the butcher had anticipated the wasting effects of the malady and the final process'of nature • but none of these circumstances render the flesh wholesome, or make it other than the act of Parliament de signates—" diseased and unsound." Unfortunately, it is a common practice with farmers and cowkeepers at the present time to slaughter animals afflicted with a hopeless disease, in order that their carcasses may be saved for the shambles. There is hardly a cewhouse in the metropolis which is not contin ually furnishing diseased animals to the butcher. Very recently these houses have been inspected by Mr. Gamgee, the principal of the Veterinary Col lege, in Edinburgh, and ho has stated publicly, in the last number of the Edinburgh Veterinary Re view, and elsewhere, that the diseased cows of the London cowhouses are invariably sent to the City slaughter-houses to be killed for food. One cow keeper of the City told him that, in July last, out of an average stock of 30 cows, he sent upwards of a score to the butcher. Considering how prevalent disease has been for the last two or three years among the cows of London, it is very probable that thousands of animals have in this way been dis posed of. The practice is not without danger, for although it may generally pass unnoticed, it now and then shows itself in an unmistakable manner. In the month of November, 1860, the effects were wit nessed by the medical officer on rather a large scale. A quantity of cow beef was brought into Newgate market by a sausage-maker at Kingsland, and made up into sausages in the usual way. The meat was not of first quality, for the sausage maker observed, such meat never is, but is always quite second-rate. It was part of a cow that had been sent to the butcher from a London cow house. Epizootic diseases were prevalent at that time in the cow houses of London, and it is very probable that the animal was affected with one of them. It was a lean cow, and had ceased to give milk. This was all the dealer would confess, but the flesh of the animal told a terrible story. Of 66 persons who partook of the sausages made from it, 64 were attacked with the symptoms of poisoning, and the severity of the symptoms w ere in direct proportions to the quantity eaten. In several cases where mem bers of a family had not partaken of them, they alone escaped,and people far away from Kingsland, who had bought Ihe sausages of a second dealer, suffered likewise. The effects were those of an ani mal poison, they were sickness, purging, giddiness, great prostration of the vital powers, intense irrita tion of the bowels, and in one case death. The matter was referred to the medical officer by the coroner for investigation, and it was fully inquired into by Dr. Tripe, the medical officer of health for the district where the accident occurred. Both were of opinion that the effects were clearly due to the sausages ; and as the most careful chemical and microscopical examinations did not discover a trace of mineral or vegetable poison, the conclusion was that the meat of the sausages was unsound. With such a fact, and many others of a like description, before him, he should be wanting in his duty if he permitted the sale of diseased meat, He added that it was not an uncommon practice for butchers to dress for the —..4d. STAMPED ....sd. market the bodies of animals that have not been slaughtered, but have died frog' accident or aiscase. This practice, he said, is equally reprehensib l e. About a month ago the matter was conteste d with Messrs. Bonser and Sons, of Newgate-market, who had sold the carcase of a dead sheep, as it is termed, for food. As in the present case, they in sisted that the meat was sound and wholesome, although for aught he knew the sheep might have been accidentally poisoned with arsenical sheep wash, " The rules which he had laid down for the guid ance of the inspectors in the matter are, that they are to seize the rncat of all animals which have not been slaughtered by the bracher, but have died from accident or dir•else, That they are to seize the meat of all animals killed while in a state of acute ' di 3case, or which have wasted fit= lingering illness; and lastly, that they are to seize it w hen unsound from putrefaction or disease. " They were the wholesome rules that have been acted on from very early times, and are most reli giously observed in the present day by the Hebrews, who have brought them down from the remotest antiquity, They are the rules of almost every con tinental State, and were strictly followed by the zediles of ancient Rome. Finally, they are indi cated as well as sanctioned by the laws of this city, and have been more or less ob. ' every town in England in all times. It can hardly therefore be said that the exercise of the authority of the Com missioners of Sewers in this manner is an innova tion, or that the rights and privileges of the butchers' trade are unnecessarily interfered with ; and even if they were, it is proper to remember that the preser vation of public health is above all such conside r itions. The report was agreed to, and the solicitor was instructed to act as he thought necessary. ASSIZE INTELLIGEACE. HOME CIRCUIT.-MAIDSTONE, TUESDAY. The commission for the county of Kent was opened in this town on Monday, and business was proceeded with in both courts yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock. The gaol calendar contains the names of 36 pri soners, but none of the offences appear to be of a heinous character. On the civil side there are 25 causes entered, five of which are to be tried by special juries. (Before Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Common Jury.) LOVATT V. TRIBE. This was an action to recover £2O and interest upon an I 0 U. The defendant pleaded that at the time he signed the I 0 U he was insane, and that the plaintiff was aware of that fact. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Philbrick were for the plaintiff; and Sergeant Shee and Mr. Humphrey for the defendant. The jury, after a good deal of deliberation, re turned a verdict for the defendant upon the plea that he was not competent to execute such an in strument at the time in question. They also found that the plaintiff was aware that he was in that condition. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) Felix Finn, 43, was indicted for stealing seven sheep, the property of James Pearson. Mr. F. Russell and Mr. Colquhoun conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ribton. It appeared that the prosecutor was a farmer at Cranbrook, and the prisoner was a sort of jobbing butcher and dealer in cattle, residing at Marden. The sheep in question were all safe in one of the prosecutor's fields on the 18th of December, and on the following morning they were missed. The evidence against the prisoner was that on the night following the robbery he was seen to be driving seven sheep along the road leading from Cranbrook to Marden, and he afterwards employed a man to kill six of them, and, by the prisoner's directions, the carcases were sent up to London. From information received by the prosecutor, he went to the prisoner's premises, and in a shed he found one of the missing sheep alive, and he after wards was shown the skins of the six sheep that had been stolen, and he identified them by the marks that were upon them as his property. The prisoner, it appeared, when he was questioned upon the subject, declared that he had bought the seven sheep in Ashford market, and it was stated that he had always borne a good character, and was always looked upon as a respectable man in his position of life. Mr. Itibton made a powerful appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and he contended that there was nothing to show that he did not really purchase the sheep at market as he had stated. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recom mended him to mercy. . _ _ Mr. Justice Wighlma2 said it was a very serious offence, and he sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for three years. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-YORK. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) Richard Buckle, 35, was charged with feloniously administering one ounce of laudanum to Jane Buckle, his wife, with intent to murder her, at Middlesborough, on the 26th of June last. Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Serle prosecuted ; Mr. Maule defended the prisoner. On the 26th June last the prisoner was a police officer in the Middlesborough force. His wife had been subject to pains, and on the above day he gave her a dark brown liquid, which he said she was to take just before getting into bed, and to say nothing to her sister, w ho was in the house, about it. This latter precaution excited Mrs. Buckle's suspicions, and she therefore confided what had transpired to her sister. Upon going to bed Mrs. Buckle took half of the liquid, instead of the whole as she had been instructed, and at an early hour on the following morning she became dangerously ill, vomited seven or eight times, and had to keep her bed the whole of the day. The matter, howevet, passed over until a fortnight after, when the prisoner brought home a powder which he said he had got for her from a person named Hopper. This, whilst her husband slept, she took from his coat pocket, and substitut ing in its place a similar looking powder, composed of sugar and flour, she took the former to Mr. Dickenson for analysation, when it was discovered to be strychnine. His wife then, in fear of her life, took her child away from the house, and gave infor- I mation to the police. The prisoner was then ap prehended, and tried at the last York summer assizes on the charge of attempting to administer strych nine. He was, however, found. not guilty, and therefore the present charge was instituted. It was shown that the prisoner possessed himself of the laudanum under the pretence that his wife wanted it for the toothache, and the strychnine for a friend to kill a dog. Guilty. Sentence of death was recorded, which the learned judge said he should recommend her Majesty to commute to penal servitude for life.

SOUTHWARK. --Captain William Dundas, of 48, Tennisoa-street, Wateriso-road, was summoned before Mr. Combe for assaulti n g an Italian organ player, by striking him over the head and back with a whip. Mr. Rice, solicitor, of Pall-mall, appeared for the defendant. The complainant, through an interpreter, said that on Monday or Tuesday last, in the afternoon, he was with his organ and a monkey in Tennison street, Waterloo-road. He was playing his organ when the defendant opened a door close by and made motions for him to go away. He waved his hand, and witness left off playing and crossed the road. He then recommenced playing opposite another house, when the defendant again came out with a whip in his hand, and his slippers on. He struck at the monkey and missed him, and he then struck the witness over the head and back with his whip. The witness went away, and the neat day came to this court for a summons. In cross-examination the witness said he could not recollect whether the day on which the assault took place was Monday or Tuesday. Augustus Robertson, a traveller, residing at 5, Tennison-street, said he saw the complainant play ing his organ with a monkey on it. The defendant came out of his house with a whip in his hand, and aimed a blow at the monkey, but he could not say whether he struck it. He thought the defendaut was in a great passion, as he would not give the organ-player time to get away . . He could not tell what then took place. He believed it was in the middle of the dsv. He did not know whether it was before or after dinner. Mr. Rice said he had a complete answer to the case, and should be able td show that no assault whatever had been committed. He had two ladies in court to contradict the witnesses. -Mr. Combe said that neither the complainant nor his witnesses could tell when the assault took place. Under these circumstances he could pi= no re liance on their evidence and should dismiss the ease- TEE BRITISH MINISTER 42 WASH- INGTON. If diplomacy now-a-days is a very different affair from the system of espionage which the Vene tian Republic organised for itself at every Court of Europe, the contrast is not less striking in the fate that befalls modern diplomatic corre spondence. Instead of being sepaltured in secret archives, like the collection of Simanc as, whose mine of gossip, slander, and intrigue European historians are only now beginning to work, our de mocratic publicity demands that Ambassadors Ma nually make a clean breast of it ; and all the mys steries of diplomatic note paper are yearly unveiled and laid before Congress or Parliament in the vul gar form of a blue-book. The current session of the British Legislature has brought with it its customary batch of such official papers, and among these arc no less than six voluminous collections of documents relating to the United States, of which we have received copies. We have already drawn largely on this body of diplomacy, and to-day we make new and copious selections from that collection of the papers which contains Lord Lyons' despatches to his Go vernment. Collection No. J. of the Parliamentary papers is entitled " Correspondence relating to the Civil War in the United States of North America?' and consists mainly of despatches from the English Ambassador at Washington to Earl Russell, her Britannic Majesty's Foreign Secretary. It contains 156 official papers, the first bearing date of Novem ber 12, 1860, and the last coming down to February of the present year. The series thus covers the whole period—so opulent in events—from the election of Mr. Lincoln and the inception of secession, till now that its mad career is almost run, and a half-ruined people begin to realise the amazing folly into which they allowed themselves to be precipitated. Our selection from this correspondence, which we com mence with the period of the attack on Fort Sumter, is made with the design to bring out in what man ner the series of events that have developed them selves since that time have been viewed and inter preted by the representative of the British Govern ment at Washington, and in what manner he has borne himself in the weighty international transac tions in which he has been called to take so impor tant a part. The great historical interest and value that attach to this interior view of the most impor tant branch of our foreign diplomacy can hardly be over-estimated, but we may say it has more than a historical—it has a vital interest. It is well known that one of the most important of the ambassadorial functions, especially in such a crisis as the present, is to transmit statements of all important public events to the home Government, which depends mainly on the impressions thus received for guid ance in its official dealings. It is obvious, therefore, that we have a direct interest both in the intellec tual and the moral qualities of the ambassadorial teho niefsu reporter.sairoen warped i na trcblockheadeadllo.r relations, i easily s an iapna i at n h r oe o ns d e u e n ee li s s whose tea jangle sym a p nd readily a damages the best cause. We do not think our readers will peruse the extensive correspondence of Lord Lyons, whi c h we publish elsewhere, without reaching the gratifying conclusion that the repre sentative of the British Government at Washington has acted throughout an upright, an honourable, and a liberal part towards the Government and the country to which he is accredited. Where he re ports facts it is done temperately, judiciously, and fairly ; and, though he is frequently and sometimes wholly wrong, th e error is obviously In his purely official not the dictate of ill intent. off the mark, dealings, in the numerous transactions rights of the two countries appeared to clash, the strong British ground wh g ic e h t f ihni waterdA whicht ; Y 'M thei I Mr: as into i shotb u t always takes, never interferes with his modifying (n w ju e stly suspected) coquetting his views under the persuasion of justice. Early in the correspondenced,o suspected anduhave w ith Canada e videntl y caused som e zealous, not to y a glimpses of diplo maticpaisadoes between his lordship and the Secre tary a st yle of art. Other causes of diff erence appear in a bundance—the arrest of British s e of 1n State s P a thatngsm s t we have b e e n of a very high threatened seizure of vessels r subjects, the _ rumoured to have been purchased by the rebel s in Canada, the anticipated abrogation of ports of entry, and what not—but it must be remembered that diplomatic interchange is in its very nature, which there is a disagreement , chiefly confined to points on matters on which there is agreement requiring attention. theless, there are throughout this corres 1 (1 1 cer frequent instances of a cordial, conciliatory Plie" spirit, and proofs of a " distinguished eon 'd . ton" that is far deeper sl than verbal. It is pro per that this fact should be adequately emphasized for there was a time at the beginning of the re hellion, when some natural sensibilities of tbe pub lic mind, excited by the course taken towards the rebels by foreign Governments, caused their repre sentatives to be looked on with a suspicion from which the British Minister was not wholly exempt. The public will he gratified to learn how little ground there was for this suspicion. As Lord Lyons reveals himself in. the present correspondence, he gives the impression of a discreet and sensible, though not always of an acute or clairvoyant mind. There are glimpses of transactions in which his qualities appear as a poor match for the amazing flexibility of Mr. Seward's nature. But he i s throughout—and his mission has not been without its trials—a high-toned gentleman and diplomatist. The recent honours which his Queen has conferred on him are well merited by his discreet and well ',poised bearing in the difficult crisis over which the present corrosPondeuce extends.--. New York. rims POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March 18. MANSION-HOUSE.—Charles Samuel Toone, a young man of 22, who refused his address, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with a robbery. About eight o'clock on Monday evening Police constable Robinson, who was in plain clothes, was inßishopsgate-street-without, and saw the prisoner loitering about the shop of Mr. Teed, a grocer, in a manner which excited his suspicions. He watched the prisoner for a few minutes, and saw him go into the shop twice, then come out again, and look up and down the street. He entered a third time, and, taking up a chest of tea which lay within the door way, walked off with it on his shoulder. The con stable followed and overtook him. On hest teltling him he was a police officer, the prisoner threw he c of tea on the pavement and tried to mak ff.e o A struggle took place , in which the prisoner seized him by the throat, forced him down on the chest, a nd threatened to choke him if he did not let him go. Two men passing came to his assistance, and the prisoner was taken to the s tation. The chest, which was identified as belonging to Mr. Teed, contained upwards of 551 b of ten, worth about £G. The prisoner in his defence, said he was ent 1-le begged the Lord Ain yor - work and in distress. to deal with him summarily. He was committed for trial.
