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 Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Cireular. " 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; ut the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places t within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

The height was from 150 to 20')ft. The other boys heard him shriek as he fell, but could render no assistance. A boat, however, which was lying off the shore at no great distance from the spot, immediately pulled in to the rocks. On reaching the spot the body of the unfortunate young officer was found. Death had been instantaneous. This sad accident illustrates one of the greatest wants of the Britannia—a play • ground on shore for the cadets when released from their duties on board. Under present circumstances they can only land from the ship and return at hours convenient to the steamer engaged to convey them backwards and forwards. When on shore the cadets, who have five or six hours to spend, will stroll among the quarries and cliffs of the island of Portland, where natural love of adventure eon- stantly exposes them to accident, or stroll through the streets of Weymouth, where they are tempted to spend money foolishly. Two projects were some time ago entertained to remedy this want of means of recreation. The Eurydice, sailing frigate, was partly rigged and fitted as a seagoing training _ _ tender to the Britannia; and the War Department and the Admiralty were in treaty with each other for the apportionment of the marine seat lately be longing to Lord Ashburton as a college for the cadets. But both schemes have been abandoned. Meanwhile the Britannia remains without the means of supplying recreation for the cadets after the hours of study possessed by the poorest school. The vessel lies at an anchorage unusually distant, and since her stay there has shown a sick list 20 per cent. greater than during any period since her commission. Notwithstanding the prevalence of very heavy weather from the southward, the screw steamship Warrior, 40, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, went yesterday morning from Hamoaze outside Ply mouth Breakwater, for a trial of her engines and machinery, after which she returned to the Sound, where she will receive her ammunition preparatory to going to sea. The Warrior was assisted down the harbour by the steamtugs Confiance, Prospero, Zephyr, and Thais. The Vindictive, old sailing frigate, fitted as a coal and bread depot ship for service at Fernando Po, is ordered to be despatched from Portsmouth at as early a date as possible to her destination. She is being fitted with accommodation fur a detach ment of Royal Marines, whom she will convey out to Ascension. The Danish ship Rapid, Capt. A. T. Bohn, hired as a transport to convey English Government stores from Hong Kong to England, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning. She sailed from Hang Kong on the 14th of Feb., Batavia the 21st, Algoa Bay April 3, and crossed the line April 27. The British ship Rubens sailed from Algoa Bay for London on the same day as the Rapid. There were spoken during the passage home from the Cape, on April 27, on the line, and long. 20 48 W., the Eng lish bark Hotspur ; and on June 3, in lat. 48, the English ship James Livesay and bark Vienna, both outward bound, The Rapid is detained at Spit head for orders, which will most probably be to proceed to Woolwich to discharge her freight. In consequence of an application from the direc tors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, the Lords of the Admiralty have ordered the paddlewheel steam surveying vessel Porcupine, 3, at Plymouth, to be prepared for taking soundings in the Atlantic. She will be commanded for this duty by Mr. Richard Hoskyn and other officers borne on- the books of the Fisgard, 42, at Woolwich, as addi tional officers for surveying service. The Porcupine has been recently employed in surveying the coast of Scotland, and was paid off at Devonport in Dec. last, since which she has been thoroughly repaired. She would have been employed in the North Sea on a similar duty but for the applica tion from the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The Porcupine will be ready in about ten days. The crew of the screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, Captain Le G. Bowyear, were paid off at Plymouth yesterday. She will be re-commissioned to-day, and be got ready for the conveyance of Royal Marines to China. Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., 130 W commanding the Donegal, 99, at Plymouth, the crew of which will be paid off shortly, will command a flotilla of gunboats for service in the China seas.

THE ARMY. The detachments of military invalids and time expired men which arrived at Chatham garrison on Thursday afternoon, from Calcutta, in the Agamemnon, were officially inspected at St. Mary's barracks yesterday, previously to the convalescent troops being forwarded to join their respective depots. The Agamemnon, which is one of the Messrs. Green's line of Indiamen, left Calcutta on the 11th of February last, rounded the Cape of Good Hope on the 7th of April, touched at St. Helena on the 17th of April, and sailed thence the following day ; the Line was crossed on the 28th of April. The passage to Gravesend occupied 113 days, the weather being ganerally fine, with light breezes. The Agamemnon brings home three men of the 2d Dragoon Guards, two of the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers), three of the Bengal Light Cavalry, 23 of the Royal Artillery, eight of the Bengal Artillery, two of the 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, eight of the 19th, 26 of the 20th, one of the 27th Enniskillens, three of the 34th. one of the 35th, two of the 38th, two of the 48th, seven of the 54th, 29 of the 80th, one of the 82d, 18 of the 88th Connaught Rangers, one of the 80th Light Infantry, one of the 92d Highlanders, six cf the 97th, 14 of the 3d battalion Rifle Brigade, and three of the Native Infantry, together with seven women and nine children, and two soldiers discharged with ignominy from the service. The officers who arrived in charge of the troops were Capt. S. S. Windham, Rifle Brigade; Lieut. J. Fer gusson, 21st Hussars; Quartermaster H. Harvey, Rifle Brigade ; and Staff-Surg. J. A. M'Munn, M.D. One death and one birth took place on board during the voyage. After the troops had been me dically inspected, 20 of the number were admitted into Fort Pitt Hospital. Out of the 173 men of all ranks wh o arr i ve d i n the Agamemnon, 32 have Feb. e completed their period of service and have been sent home to be disch arg ed. At the date of the Aga memnon leaving C a lc u tta the Queen of the South was embarking troops for England, and was to sail on the 20th t the headquartersM alab of fr wasthe a 7 l s s t o hi the egi river eht to embark t, and would also sail on the same date. Yesterday a portion of the Chatham division of Royal Marines, under the command of Major Ellis, was engaged in escalading operations at the rear of the barracks at Brompto n Occupied by the Royal Engineers. Under the new regulations, the officers and men of the Royal Marines, as well as those of the Royal Engineers and the Line, are to be in structed in escalading. By direction of Major-General Tullob, Di rector-General of Ordnance, Captain Dyer, Assistant-Inspector of Artillery, commenced an examination yesterday of the whole of the wrought and cast iron ordnance mounted on the towers, forts, and batteries throughout the Chatham dis trict. The examination will include an inspection of the 10-inch and other heavy guns mounted o❑ the works commanding the entrance to the Med way, the object of the examination being to pre vent the occurrence cf accidents from the bursting of iron guns by the withdrawal of those which gave the slightest indication of unsoundness. A similar inspection is to be made of all the ordnance now in use throughout the United Kingdom. The various description of guns in store at Chatham have all been inspected by Capt. Dyer, and the few faulty pieces of ordnance detected removed to Wool wich, where they will be broken up. The Woolwich division of Royal Marines yester day assembled on the review ground on Woolwich Common, and went through a course of field day movements in command of Col. Marriott. They had deployed from square and formed line, ground ing arms, when the rifle of one of the front rank men suddenly went off. The man, in disregard of the standing regulations, was holding his rifle across the muzzle with the fingers of his left hand, one of which was completely carried away below the second joiat ; he was taken at once to the infir mary. The finger was picked up a short way from the spot. Lieut.-Col. Clavell, late gunnery instructor to the Royal Marines at Woolwich, is to leave Wool wich this morning on his appointment to the Ply mouth division. and is succeeded at Woolwich by Capt. Carrington. A volunteer detachment of 34 non-commissioned officers and privates, experts in various trades— such as engineers, masons, carpenters, &c., are under orders to embark on board the new steam storesbip Dromedary, lately commissioned at Wool wich, for the Island of Ascension, to relieve an equal number whose term has expired. The Megmra, screw troopship, Commander Hen derson, sailed from Portsmouth on Thursday even ing with the following troops on board for the Channel Islands :—For Guernsey, two batteries of the 13th Brigade, Royal Artillery, comprising Major Talbot, Capt. Denna, Lieuts. Roberts, Lowry, Logan, and Robinson, 11 sergeants, 4 buglers, 14 corporals, 177 gunners, 29 women, and 26 children; for Jersey, one battery, 2d Brigade, Royal Artillery, comprising Capt. Taswell, Lieuts. Inge and Lane, 5 sergeants, 1 bugler, 7 corporals, 98 gunners, 11 women, and 17 children ; Lieut. Istoblett and ser vant, of the 2d battalion, 11th Regiment, were left behind sick. The Megwra returns to Portsmouth with two batteries of the 6th Brigade, Royal Artillery, from Guernsey, and one battery of the 2d Brigade, Royal Artillery, from Jersey, the for mer remaining in Portsmouth garrison, and the atter proceeding by railway to Dover. THE P.RUSSIAN CHAMBERS. BERLIN, JUNE 4. The following is the project of address which wi to-day be brought forward in the Chamber o Deputies by M. von Vincke and his little band o adherents, as an amendment on that of the Fort schritt party : "Your Majesty has been pleased to summon a new Chamber of Deputies. The members of the same hold it for their first duty to give evidence of the inviolable devo tion and fidelity towards your Majesty and the itoyal family which for centuries have animated the nation. No calumny should be permitted to inspire the Throne with the convic tion that a party in the country strives to transfer the centre of gravity (schwerpwikt) of the power of the State, which, according to the history and constitution of Prussia, re poses in the Crown, to the representatives of the people. "We therefore deeply deplore that 3 our Majesty's Minis ters have given expression to such accusations, and have coupled with it the supposition that the old and triad class of Prussian functionaries could ever be unmindful of the oath they have taken to your Majesty. " Conformably wi.h our duty we will carefully examine the budget laid before us, and we have learnt with satisfac tion that the long-expressed expectations of the representa tives of the nation are to be fulfilled by the greater specifi cation of the same, as wall as by the timely introduction of the estimates for 1863. " We indulge the hope that there will be introduced into the military budget such further retrenchments as may, consistently with the maintenance of the undiminished effi ciency of the army, and with the utmost possible realisa tion of the universal obligation to bear arms, render prac ticable a greater sparing of the productive and financial resources of the count' y, and a degree of regard conformable to spirit of the times for the other highly important branches of the public welfare. " We will bring the commercial and navigation treaties laid before us under constitutional discussion. Above all, we receive with warm acknowledgment the commercial treaty between the Zollverein and France, which will multi ply our peacable relations with a powerful and great nation, increase the facility of supplying our mutual wants, and open new markets to our industry. "The particular (particularistischen) endeavours, which there seems a disposition to oppose to this work, so rich in results, will be finally silenced and set at rest only when your Majesty, with the assent of the German nation—so far as at the present moment certain individual States do not see themselves directed inta non •German paths—shall have taken into your own most high hands the guidance of all the diplomatic and military interests of Germany, with the constitutional co-operation of a national representative assembly. "As being in the direction towards this highest aim of Prussian policy, we greeted with joyful satisfaction the display of forces for the re .establishment of aggrieved con stitutional rights in Hesse-Cassel, and we trust that your Majesty will not sheathe the sword until the just demands of that steadfast German people, by neighbourhood and his tory so closely connected with us, shall have received full satisfaction. atttain''lna to s t i h m e il r a i r way also ghts hawt ieh shallit hasSchhl e e s e w n ig so - o u l o s h t ei n aggrievefi nal l y d of Italyl rr l h e s c co e ne nbs countryei i d n e g r n h a n e t h p xe r i oo interestsmu s p l y t e s e t x recognitionGermany o o r f agn t a n dn e cf kingdomlaws Prussia. o f which a prospect has been held out, and the constitutional removal of the opposition which has hitherto been made to them. We confidently anticipate that, while maintaining unmoved the conditions of the constitution, they will satisfy real wants and avail themselves of thoPe, elements of the existing institutions which possess viLality. "Most gracious King and Master I "The Chamber of Deputies, undisturbed by the changing currents of the day, will guard, earnestly and zealously, as well the rights of the Crown as Lhe constitutional rights of the national representative assembly of the people, will refuse its co-operation to no measures necessary for the maintenance of the honour and dignity of the country, or feg the advancement of all branches of peaceful activity, and thus on its part will it contribute to draw closer the links which a glorious past has established between your Majesty's august house and the Prussian nation." The paragraph relating to the carrying out of the German idea—the union of all German lands and peoples, including a national Parliament and the " hegemony" of Prussia—will, I fear, be not very clear to your readers in the attempted literal trans lation. The particulanstich efforts are the strivings of certain German States in a sense opposed to the project of national unity, and the parenthesis " so far as," Sze., refers to the endeavours of Austria in favour of special interests, as opposed to the general welfare of Germany. The general tenour of the paragraph can hardly be objected to by any section of the Liberals, but there are other passages which meet with their decided disapprobation. Among these is the first, in so far as it declares the chief power of the State to centre in the Crown, this being at variance with the constitutional theory of the party progress. The paragraph relating to Hesse also invites animadversion by the expression of a feeling of confidence that the King " will not sheathe the sword" until satisfaction, shall have been obtained. People will naturally look about for the naked blade which these words would lead one to imagine is somewhere or other menac ingly b r andished. T he y will find no such mar tial sign, but merely a certain amount of paper spoiled at the War-office, a number of working men etunnioned from their occupations. to re- liar military organisation of the Prussian army and rules of the Berlin War-office rendered it necessary to call out the reserves, instead of using the forces at once disposable. This demonstration, if such it may be called, in fact consisted in that summoning of the men who had already served their allotted term under the colours, but were liable to be called out on an emergency, and few believe that it will be carried any further. Whether it be or not, the sword has certainly not been drawn, and M; von Vincke's expression is, therefore, inappropriate. There is no chance of his address obtaining much support, although, as a reply to the speech, it is decidedly more comprehensive and to the purpose than that of the advanced Liberals, with which there is reason to believe that some of the deputies of the Left Centre are dissatisfied, on account of the meagreness and repetitions they impute to it. As a concession to the Bockum-Dolffs party, it has been agreed to introduce a paragraph relating to the Hessian question. As to anything that comes from Vincke, there is evidently no disposition to show it favour on the part of the Left of the Cham ber, one of whose organs last night spoke of him and his " constitutional fraction" as a general and his staff without soldiers. This may be very true, but it suggests the inquiry of how the advanetd Liberals are off for officers, and whether they do not, to some extent, resemble an army without tried generals, and consisting in great part of raw re cruits. They muster very strong, but it remains to be seen whether they will know how to derive the full advantage from their numerical strength. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The interior of the building presented a magni ficent appearance yesterday, crowded as it was, al the fashionable hour, with the largest (half-crown company that has yet been returned. Every par of the building appeared to be full and busy, and the Eastern platform was especially thronged by an audience collected to hear Mr. Distin's concert, which, happily, on this occasion met with no oppo sition from the organ. Whilst we stayed a selection from " Norma" was played, and it seemed to obtain cordial acceptation from the company. The various jewel cases were also terribly beleaguered by fair assailants—so much so in the case of the Koh-i-noor case, that the police were obliged once or twice to clear a passage through the nave. Mr. Hancock's beautiful collection was also almost unapproachable, so attractive were the diamonds and the sapphires, opals, and all the other varieties of precious gems with which the public are now becoming so familiar. There is also in this case perhaps the greatest rarity in the whole building—namely, a piece of solid gold plate, it being a singular fact that elsewhere there is not a single specimen of the most precious of the metals exhibited. This solitary representative of the Australian gold fields is a handsome vase of the value of £lOO, and was manufactured by Mr. Han cock, from pure Victoria gold, to be presented to Dr. Adler, the chief rabbi, by some of his colonial co religionists. The intrinsic value of this beautiful little article is not very considerable, but being, as far as we could learn, the only piece of gold plate in so vast an accumulation of the world's treasures, we have thought it deserving of some mention. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Helena and Maude, attended by six or seven ladies and gentle men of the court, visited the Exhibition early, and devoted a good deal of time and attention to the Process Court, where the numerous sewing ma chines, the printing, and the pipe-making appeared to attract considerable attention from the illustrious visitors. The Princess Helena honoured Mr. Rey nolds by going into his workshop and watching the process of making three or four pipes, all of which were carefully put aside to be preserved as memorials of the Royal visit, Her Royal High ness asked several questions which indicated con siderable knowledge of chemistry and minera logy, and e . apressed herself much interested in the simple but ingenious process which she had witnessed. We regret to be obliged to add that the royal party were forced to leave the building much earlier than they had intended, in consequence of the rude and shameless way in which they were literally mobbed by persons wearing the garbs of ladies and gentlemen. Some of the " ladies" rushed forward and coolly peered under the bonnets of the young Princesses, to the utter confusion and annoy ance of the latter, and in defiance of the expostula tions of the police. The men were quite as bad, and when the police remonstrated, were insolent and abusive, acting, in fact, as if they had an inward conviction that the privilege of staring at the royal Princesses in a manner which, if it had been done to ladies of lower rank, would assuredly have pro cured for the offenders personal chastisement from their male escorts, was a legitimate portion of the value of the half-crown they had paid for admis sion. To the honour of the working classes, we have to record, on the best authority, that on the previous (shilling) day, when the building was crowded with mechanics and their wives, the royal party passed through the various courts compara tively unmolested. A considerably crowd followed them, it is true, for a short period, after the quality of the distinguished visitors became known, tut a single word from the police-sergeant in attendance was sufficient to induce the people to fall back in the most deferential manner, and during the pas sage of the party through the courts the royal ladies were wholly unobstructed. We have strong reason for believing that the illustrious head of the Royal family will visit the Exhibition to-day, but it will be at so early an hour as to preclude the possibility of annoyance such as was yesterday visited on its younger members. M. Rouher, the French Minister of Agriculture, has arrived in town for a month's sojourn, during which he will give the building and its contents a careful inspection with the view of preparing a re port for the information of the Emperor. It is whispered further that the visit of M. Rouher has another object, namely, that of making arrange ments for an early visit from the Emperor himself accompanied by the Empress. In the evening Earl Granville and the royal commissioners gave a soiree at the South Kensing ton Museum, to which nearly 4,000 of the fashion able world and all the foreign notabilities at pre sent in town were invited to meet their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam brid g e and the Prin cess 6 Mary, and her Serene Highness the Grand D uc hess of Mecklenburg Strelitz. The whole of the courts and gallery were brilliantly illuminated and tastefully decorated with flowers for t . he recep tion of the company. The new court, in which all the rare " loans" which have recently been got together by the indefatigable exertions of Mr. Cole, was a is said that the powerful object of attraction. objects of art temporarily accumulated in this de partment reach the almost Th fabulous Sevres value china ex e ofhi two millions sterling. mo st valuable in the world, bited is the rares t and and there are also collected here for the first time all the specimens that exist in England of the f amous w are, of which there are only " Henri Dea ns" fifty three pieces in the world. English collectors have tl w y e at con trived to securetwenty-three twenty-three, and they mp were all a ll inspected yesterday evening by le company the soiree. Th r ee military bands att en d e d , abun dant refreshments of the most luxurious description were provided, including hot-house grapes at 16s. a pound, and eathing was left undone to make the fete the mos t successful of many s easons. Her Majesty the Queen has b een grac i ous ly pleased to intimate her intention to present 800 of the female students of the Schools of Art through out the United Kingdom with tickets of admission to the International Exhibition, available on any Friday and Saturday. Th© number of TisitorB yesterday was as follows The committee of the above fund met at the m orning. Mr. F. Lyeet t Alitooakitil°len House likewise present : — Mess rs. C. Barber, W. Morley, J. Armitage. and S. flilb erc g lue. Mr. GIBBS, the acting sec retar y , submitted the ci l l o air s , e a ynedstetirideayfollowing gentlemen were financial sheet, showing that the total amount re ceived up to Thursday evening was £5,502, of which amount the sum of £3,650 l.ad been already forwarded to different towns.. Letters were read from the rectors and incumbents of different dis tricts applying for aid, from which it appeared that the distress in all the operative districts round Man. chester, &c., is very great. The incumbent Blackley, in asking for assistance for that town, said that not only were the indolent and improvi dent in want, but families who had hitherto been well to do were now starving. He mentioned one family in particular which he had visited. There were five children, and the parents, who hai: merly been in tolerably good circumstances, were completely debtitutc, everything.baving been dis posed of even to the bed and 'bedding. One of the little children was lying dead, and the parents had no means whatever of burying it. Last week one man driven by want hung himself within a few yards of the writer's own door, and he himself had taken one poor girl into the rectory to save her from perishing. The applications having been considered by the committee, it was finally resolved that the following sums should be sent forthwith: —To Tintwistle. £5O; Middleton, £100; Failsworth, £100; St. l'arish,Manchester, £5O ; Tonge, £5O; Blackley, £100; St. Catherine's, Newtown, £5O. The committee, also taking into consideration the increasing and continuing distress in certain 1 towns, to which sums of money had already been forwarded, and the additional fact that next week being Whitsun-week, the usual three days' holiday will, in consequence of the stoppages of the mills, be extended to the whole week, resolved that the fol lowing additional sums should be forwarded :—To Stockport, £l5O ; Blackburn, £lOO ; Wigan, £100; Staleylvidge, £100; and Ashton-under- Lyne, £lOO. An application was received from the chairman of a local committee of All Souls parish, Manchester, asking for some assist ance, as their own fund was entirely expended. The secretary was directed to write for inquiries, and in the event of receiving a satisfactory reply, to forward a cheque for the sum of £25, which would make a total of £1,075. Mr. Gibbs also read letters acknowledging the receipts of the several amounts forwarded last week to several districts, and containing the grateful thanks of the recipients. The following additional donations were received yesterday—Mr. W. B. Storr, £2O ; J. Sleaines and Co., £2O; M. A. W., per Messrs. Child and Co., £5O; Mr. G. Hilbert, £2l; Mr. J. Hopgood, £10; Mr. S.

H., £2 2s. MR. COBDEN ON THE-IANTWERPI FORTIFICATIONS , The following letter was written, it is said, in consequence of its having been stated by M. Vila Ryswyck, at one of the late public meetings at Ant werp, that it was the English Government who were urging that of Belgium to proceed, at all hezards, with the expensive works around that city, and of an inquiry having been made of Mr. Cobden as to the truth of what had thus been so openly asserted : " Midhurst, Sussex, April 24. Sir,—l do not know to what extent you may be justified in accusing Lord Palmerston of being the author of that ill advised project, the fortifications of Antwerp. You say that such an accusation was made against his lordship at a public meeting ; but there are many ftssertions made at public meetings in England for which it would not be easy to find any proofs. Until, therefore, some better evidence can be adduced, you must permit me to believe that the affair is at least doubtful. I care little, however, about knowing who is the originator of the project, though I cannot help thinking that in every point of view it is one in which little good sense is disco covered. Belgium owes its existence to moral influ ence, to the consent of the great Powers, not to any strength of its own. The only risk it runs of losing its nationality is that of being annexed to France, but at the present day it is no longer the custom to annex provinces without the consent of their population ; so long, therefore, as you shall be lightly taxed, you will enjoy greater liberty and greater pros perity than if you were annexed to France, and for that reason you will most certainly prefer to remain independent. Now, the best way to secure these benefits is to avoid the burden of groat arma ments, which would be of little avail against the only enemy that can absorb you, and of which th© only result will be to impose heavy charges on the people, and thus make them reconciled to the idea of annexation, Such is my programme of your policy, and I cannot conceive how any statesman can act otherwise. If I were the king of the Bel gians, and wished to preserve the crown to my , descendants, I should only maintain some few th ou sands of men. I should consider myself as king by moral influence only, and I should say to my powerful neighbours, "You have proclaimed my nen trality, and I intend to g ive to my people the benefit of that situation in m akin g them the most lightly taxed and the most prosperous in Europe ; " and that, believe me, will be the most certain method o f making the Belgians attached to their indepen.. dente. But to constru ct fortifications at Antwe rp , with the idea of maki n g it the rall y in g p oint for an army in the event of wa r, and of thus inv iting all Europe to make it th eir battle-field, is to place th e that people in so fright ful a p osition that they w ou ld o f cou rse prefer annex ation to such a destiny , I shall only e n ce ad th d a ' t sthlaitowifs you are such an insane policy has had it s origin in Eng land, I shall be in possession of any evi- delighted d if you will furnish me with the requisi • • te proof, and I have the honour, &c., " RICHARD COBDEN." PRESS PROSECUTION IN havingGERMANY.—The Stutt gart Bcobachter___ published several outspoken articles —one of them an extract fro pamphlet by Karl Blind— on the questi on o f Electoralni a Ilesse, the police effected a confiscation of the paper, and a prosecution is now being instituted against that organ of advanced liberalism.

NEWS PAPE R u o c: i t a h t e r i d u e m b p a tsh for u T r u d e p s d a l a m y , e r es, 4 4*tre t e bi~ e. e ls ; VON Mr. Hersh:Lem contributed au able ;ere iugS isl speech. In a review of the foreign policy o f the c ountry from a period eaterior to the Russian war up to the present t ime, he p ointed out, with clear ness and consistency , the evil results which had from time to time a risen from ne g lect of our arma ments, and from the consc iousn e ss of our p h y sical weakness. "There were three great occasio ns, " he said, "on which the a pp rehensions of England had been excited, and the ex p erience of insuff cleat preparation ha d been deeply felt. These were to the Crimean war, the Conspiracy Bill, and, thirdly, the seizure of Savoy, under the accommodating cloak of a commercial treaty." E: , ch of f hese events he represented in the light Of foreign aggres 3io r , encouraged, if not directly ino,_'lstefd, by Er; gland's supposed deficiency in military pea 'r• al the first and second occasions, the nation rose with indig nation, and drove the Ministry front power. Oa t . be t hird, w e n et r d diff e rently. aria wit h watch. - leg the armamentaof Fraree, and roused icy a fresh proof of her ambition, we gave, peeLsps, too ready credence to the threats of her colonels, ism' deter mined once for all to place ourselves in it position h uwoh longerc dependentul d ren de u r ons ful neighbour. If Mr. Htfhr o e r f s o m r b a e n a r h a a n d e ecc from future saidofP a t :p i c o s i : -aoenrrac than this, his speech would have commanded our entire approbation. But his account of the origin of the volunteer a rm y differs materi ally from the a b o ve view. The panic , o r "something approaching to a panic," which existed At tho time of its founda tion, was, according to him, "not fear of what might be done by English enemies abroad — it was fear of what might be done by foreign auxiliaries at home." "The volunteer movement," he eowinued, " which was one of the most remarkable events of ollr time, was nothing but a great national vote of distrtzst in of the Peace part in the executive. It w as aloud, general, and solem n pro test against the ascenclencY e binet. It y r councils. It was a rcbukg to th was a our cauncils. It was archukto the Cbinet. It was art unmistakeable warning to its Chief that there was a feeling in England which had already on two occasions called two Ministers to account,and which would possibly make a more ser ious example of nd a third, if should again be made subservient to the exigencies the safety and the hon our of Engla of party politics." Surely, these are words which call aloud to us for an immediate and earnest ex pression of disapproval. Scarcely can we think that Mr. Horsman is serious in representing the `Volunteer movement as a new power in the State, instituted for the purpose of rebuking the Cabinet,. making an example of the Ministry, and entering an armed protest Against the apostles of peace. If such were the meanit;,7 and intention of the citi zen army, they would, instead of a blessing, be as great a curse as we cou ld well inflict upon society. But a very little refle ction, and a ver y cursory ex amination of the composition of the fOree, will show that no such design as that imputed to u 4 by Mr ' Horsman could ever have existed. The Volontleer m ovement was dictated by anything rather tstan the spirit of party. The men in our ranks belong to all parties, the only common opinion which binds them together being the love of that freedom under which they may agree to differ. There is 'nothing whatever to prevent even the members of the Peace party from occupying a place among us. So far from true is it that our object has been to coerce the Government into more extensive armaments, that a cry was raised last year, not without some foundation, that the existence of the the Volunteer very par force was to be brought forwa rd, b y against whose ascendancy we are said to bo a pro test, as an argument for the reduction of the regu lar army. We are not even clear that Mr. Cobden himself is opposed to the Volunteer movement. Re has never, as we are aware, distinctly recorded him self as our enemy, and as long as we adhere to the motto "Defence, not defiance," we can see no reason why we should not regard him as a triend. True it is that we differ from the mem bers of the Peace party io our estimate of the dan ger we should run by remaining unprepared for war; but we also hold that we should he false to our calling as British Volunteers did we not agree with them in thinking that the sole object of our ormamcnts should be to secure us independence of action, not to place in our hands the argument of force. It is not a little curious that the fancied rise of a power which some of the mast intelligent of its opponents regarded as a serious danger incident to the Volunteer movement should have struck Mr. Horst - Ilan as thus worthy of commendation. The experience of foreign countries, where the armir4; of the people had led to coercive measures against their Government, was regarded by some among us as a warning of the danger of raising up a force in this country which might at some future time be employed as an internal menace, or possibly as an instrument of rebellion. 'We trust that these fears have before now been dissipated. But the opinion now advanced by Mr. Horstnan, that the Volunteer army is to be considered in the nature of a political faction, which sprang into existance as an opponent of another, of whose constitutional acts it disap proved, gives us occasion to impress once more upon our readers the vast importance of confining the Volunteer army to its legitimate sphere of action. As civilians, it is material that our duties should not be coefounded with those of th e regular arrnyi, as armed men, it is no less importantthat weonttea keep clear of the influence of party — Service Gazette.
