An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered ractitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished —a point ofgreat importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. in cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, 'hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

She is now in dock for necessary repairs, and will be immediately re commissioned with a crew of 66 officers and men.

Additional shipwrights have been placed upon the screw steam frigates Galatea and Barossa, and preparations are being made for laying down new vessels upon every available slip. Upwards of 60 heavy guns have been forwarded from Woolwich Arsenal during the present month for the coast defences at various detached stations in the south of England. At no period since the termination of the Russian war has there been more activity in Chatham dockyard than is the case at the present time, the workmen being employed early and late in order Ito bring forward for launching the whole of those vessels which are now on the stocks. In addition to the ships building, a large body of shipwrights commenced making preparations this morning for laying down a large line-of-battle ship, to be called the Bulwark, which is to be built on No. 7 slip, from which the Mersey, 40, was recently launched. This vessel is to mount 91 guns, and is to be one of the largest of this class of two-decker screw steamers. Several hundred workmen were this morning also put on the Charybdis, 21, screw corvette, nearly completed, in order that she may be launched early this summer. when another 91-gun line-of-battle s hip will be immediately laid down on the same slip. The Atlas, 91, building on No, 6 slip, is in a very forward state, and will be finished during the present year. There are now five line-of-battle screw steamships and three screw corvettes building and undergoing alterations at this dockyard. The Cadmus, 21, screw corvette, has been brought into harbour from Pinop-reach, and had her masts and bowsprit put on board. This afternoon she was floated into the new stone basin, where she is to be thoroughly overhauled and prepared for a com mission.

BROTHER ELECTORS,—For the last two years it has become known to you that I have suffered so severely from illness as to make my attendance in the House of Commons a work of difficulty and even danger. But I bore it—contriving, by the aid of Friends, to render my ab sence of comparatively small importance ; but the case is very different now, when your rights and privileges are about to be assailed by the Reform Bill at present before Parliament, that I can no longer, as it were, true with your best interests ; I have, therefore, come to the determina tion to restore the political trust you have so' long con fided to my keeping again to your hands, and by retiring from the representation of our Borough, afford you the op portunity of selecting a successor who, possessing the same political sentiments as myself, will have strength and, leisure to exercise them for our general good. Thus, while your public affairs will be assigned to more powerful and efficient hands, you may rest assured, Brother Electors, that the same exertions I have ever used to promote the local interests of our Borough will be unceasingly con tinued by, Brother Electors, (With every sentiment of respect and gratitude), Your faithful friend and servant, JOHN BAGSHAW.

The bodies lay at the dead house of St Marylebone Workhouse, and presented a shock ing spectacle, being charred andburned in such a manner as to render identity almost impossible. They were, however, ultimately iuentified. The position in which they were dis covered in the ruins having been deposed to, several wit nesses were examined, but no facts were elicited other than those which we gave on Monday. In reference to the igni tion of the fire escape, Mr. Low,. the secretary to the Escape Society, said, in reply to the Jury, that endeavours were being made in the construction of new machinery to render them fire-proof. The deputy coroner expressed his convic tion that an adjournment would be necessary. In the first place, it was advisable to have a post-mortent examination of one of the bodies at least, as it was impossible to say whether it was by suffocation or otherwise that death had resulted. Then, again, as to the probable cause of the fire. There were two persons in the hospital who were at present unable to give evidence, although it might be most valuable in the elucidation of the facts of this melancholy occurence. The inquiry was ultimately adjourned. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, • HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.

On the motion for the 'second reading of this bill, Lord NAAS said the Government would not oppose the second reading of the bill, but as they intended to bring in a bill almq§t similar, he suggested that the hon. member who broughtTorward the present measure should postpose_its further stage until both bills could be laid before the house. After a few words from Colonel FRENCH, • Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said ho would agree to post• pone the committal of the bill till this day fortnight, in order to meet the views of the noble lord. The "bill was then read a Second time. CHURCH RATES BILL. On the motion io; the second r ea ding of this bill, Sir J. TRELAWNY moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time this day six months. He strongly objected to the principles and details of this bill, which he considered faulty in various particulars. He thought the provisions with reference to ownership and the constitution of the incumbent and churchwardens into a corporation was very objectionable He did not see any necessity for the alteration in those points that had been introduced in the present measure. This bill [not only tended to perpetuate agitation on the subject of church rates, but actually to create agitation in districts where it did not at present exist. He thought that that objection was fatal to the bill, but it could be remedied by the right hon.'gentleman who introduced the bill. One of the great evils of church rates was that they imposed upon Dissenters the obligation of paying not only for tho parish church but also for their own places .of worship—at least that was their practical operation. The number of pews provided by the Church of England was 5,000,000, while the Dissenters supplied the community with nearly 5,000,000 seats. The country should, therefore, feel very grateful to the Dissenters, without whose assistance the working classes would not have had sufficient accommoda tion for attending divine worship. It should also be remembered that the Dissenters contributed largely to the religious and secular education of the people, by the establishment of Sunday and other schools throughout the United Kingdom. NEW MEMBER. At this stage of the proceedings the SPEAKER announced that a new member was waiting to take his seat. Mr. SOTHERON ESTCOURT then took the oaths and his seat for Wilts, for which he had been re-elected since his accept ance of the office of Home Secretary, vacant by the resigna tion of Mr. Walpole. CHURCH RATES BILL. Lord CASTLEROSSE seconded the amendment. He contended that the present bill was the worst that had yet been brought before the house, and combined all the defects of the previous measures that had been introduced on the subject. The Dissenters paid £300,000 annually to the State Church ; and at the same time contributed a sum ex ceeding £1,000,000 to their own ministers. He thought, therefore, any measure like the present would inflict on that body a great injustice, and that it could not fail to excite great dissatisfaction. - Mr. SOTHERON-ESTCOURT supported the bill. He said it contained two most important objects, namely, the provision for commutation and personal exemption. (Hear, hear.) They should recollect that they were dealing with a custom that had been in existence for 1,400 years, and they should not act in a manner that was at variance with customs of such long standing. They were all aware that when a church-rate was proposed it was the signal for agitation, and the parish church became the arena of strife, a state of things which he was satisfied well-conducted Dis senters as well as Churchmen would desire to see abolished. He suggested that the churchwardens should post on the church door a statement of the repairs requisite for the building, as well as an estimate of the expense, and then that any person having a conscientious objection to paying the rate should signify the same before the next vestry, and be exempted from the impost. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY opposed the bill. He proposed that the statute of limitations should be made applicable to those rates, and when they had been discontinued in a parish for such a term of years as would indicate this feeling, they should then be finally discontinued. He was not aware that any petitions were presented in favour of this bill, though he knew that there were several against its provisions. He considered the scheme of the right hon. gentleman totally inapplicable to parishes where the landlord had taken on himself the payment of those rates. In regard to the proposal to transfer the rate from the occupier to the owner he did not think it would work well, and that portion of the measure ho therefore objected to. In regard to those who had conscientious ob jections to the payment of these rates he thought something ought to be done. His principal objection to the bill was that it left untouched parishes which, in his opinion, should have been included, and he thought the only effectual means of settling the question and terminating the unplea sant feelings that existed on the subject *as to abolish the impost altogether, and he had little doubt that the Church would not be placed in a worse position than it was at present. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON said that the speech of the right hon. gentleman (Sir G. Grey) forced on him the painful conviction that the spirit of party was paramount in that house to the spirit of peace. (Cries of " 01, oh," and hear, hear.) He trusted he would be allowed to express the conscientious convictions of his mind, and would repeat what he had said. He accused the right hon. gentleman of acting with the greatest inconsistency in opposing the second reading, and referred to the part he had taken on former occasions when the subject was before the house. He (Sir George Grey) should have reserved his. opposition until the bill got into com mittee, and he had even admitted that he approved of some portions of the bill. Nov, there were only two principles involved in the bill, the one providing for a prospective commutation of rates, and what was conceived in a most friendly spirit, the exemption of Dissenters. (Hear.) He certainly approved of the amendments in the bill which had been suggested, and that persons residing in one dis trict should not be charged for the maintenance of a church in another ; and, as far as he was concerned, he would con sent to an alteration to that effect. He referred to the circular of the " Society for the Liberation of tho Church from State Patronage and Control," a copy of which he had received. That document stated that the question of church-rates involved injustice, an assertion which could not be logically maintained. The church-rate was one of the most ancient imposts in this country, and had been levied for the most sacred object to which any impost could be appropriated. (Hear, hear.) Every one who had pro perty in this country held it subject to this impost, and could not justly complain of being called on to pay it. He agreed in what had been said by one speaker as to what the country owed the Dissenters, and he had not been one of those who ever spoke disrespect fully of that body. But, in settling this question, he should wish to know, if they abolished the Church-rates, from what other source they could maintain their churches, and he confessed he could not see any such. The bill was conceived in a conciliatory spirit, and he trusted it would not be met in a spirit of faction. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY explained that he voted for the second reading of the bill brought in on this subject on the distinct understanding that it should embody in committee the amendments which he proposed. The present bill could not embody such alterations, and on that ground he opposed its second reading. Sir R. BETHELL said he did not know what hon. gentlemen on the opposite side of the house understood by conciliation, but he certainly did not think the speech of the right honourable baronet (Sir J. Pakington) was of a very conciliatory character. That right hon. gentleman was ignorant of the first element requisite to understand the subject. (Laughter.) He (Sir J. Pakington) had said that this was an impost on land, but that was not the case, for it was levied on the occupier. ' (Cries of " Oh, oh," and " Hear, hear.") The objec tion of the Dissenters to church rates was founded on the fact that they considered that impost as a remnant of that ancient spirit of intolerance which had endeavoured to make all conform to one set of doctrines and to one formula of worship. (Hear, hear.) So long as this impost continued the Dissenters of this country would not consider that they enjoyed entire religious free dom. He concluded by denouncing strongly the measure as being unjust, oppressive, and calculated to excite the greatest hostility amongst the Dissenting body. (Hear.) Mr. DRUMMOND opposed the bill, and objected to all abolition, tampering with, or modification of, the impost. He considered that the Dissenters had no right to complain of these rates, and there was no rate in the country to which the party who paid it could object. The attempt to abolish church •rates was an effort made by a great body in this country to do do away with the Established Church altogether. Mr. BALL supported the second reading. Mr .LOWE said the present law with respect to church rates was both injurious to Dissenters and prejudicial to Churchmen. He, however, objected to the bill, because he believed it would rather tend to increase the strife occa sioned by the payment of church rates than to allay any in feeling. Mr. WALPOLE said the principles of his bill had been very freely stated. Of the two principles contained in the measure, namely, voluntary commutation and exemption on account of conscientious reasons, he did not think the right honourable baronet (or some of the other gentlemen who had spoken against the bill) would object to either proposition, and yet they were going to oppose the bill. The only real objection he had heard to the bill was that made by the hon. gentleman the member for Kidderminster (Mr. Lowe), viz., that the bill would not allay strife; but the object of this measure was to remove a pressure, which was surely not a principle that could give rise to strife. (Hear, hear.) He had been told that in excepting Dissen ters from ch urch rates, he was giving up the p r inciple of an Established Church, but his proposbition was to remove a burden which was imposed in consideration of a benefit which was now no longer received, all people not being now of the same opinion about religious matters. He did not doubt the voluntary principle, but he was not prepared to give up en d owmen ts, while the Church could h ave th e benefit both of endowments and voluntary aid. There were parts of the country where the voluntary principle could not reach, and if they gave up what their ancestors provided, they could not maintain the fabric of the church. He did not de spair of the fate of his measure, but in the event of failure, however much he might regret it, he had -f_ TELLERS Q- 'ER ZNEWSPAP ns 411 0 Acfakv 17 .‹74 S bo G 7 ' . 'P?

" An Old Soldier" writes as follows :—When the philanthropic man of science suggests to the Horse Guards a plan for promoting the happiness or se curing the health of the soldier, he is too often met by a al ' c' official shoulders, and the depre catory exc.. "‘ Alas, want of means !" So away goes the. disheartened philanthropist, tho roughly imbued with the notion that the military barnacles are very incarnations of the milk of human kindness, whose single fault it is to serve such a skinflint as Mr. John Bull. A dip into the Army Estimate, 1859-60, might go far towards ridding the mind of our scientific Samaritan of his respect for the conscientious economy ruling at Whitehall, and towards mitigating his scorn for the vulgar parsimony of much - abused Mr. Bull ; for instance, we will compare the cost of a re►i ment of Household Cavalry with the cost of a regi ment of Cavalry of the Line :- IsT LIFE GUARDS. Officers Non-commissioned officers, drummers, &c., 6 4 Bank and file All ranks Horses Pay and daily allowances £24,005 Annual allowances to field officers, &c., 2,019 Total estimate, 1859-60 £26,024 4TH DRAGOON GUARDS (LINE, AT HOME). Officers Non-commissioned officers, drummers, .. 49 Itank and file All Ranks Horses Daily pay, &c., Allowauces to field officers, &c., Total estimate £24,662 Thus a regiment of Life Guards-438 officers and men d and 275 horses, costs £1,362 more than a regi ment of Line Cavalry, 660 officers and men, and 428 horses ; although the Line Cavalry corps has 222 more dragoons and 153 more troop horses than the Household regiment. Take it in another way. The Household Cavalry (three regiments), of 1,314 officers, men, and 825 horses, costs £76,265 ; while three regiments of Li ne Cavalry, numbering 1,980 of all ranks, and 1,284 horses, costs £73,986. There fore, the greater body of horse costs the nation £2,279 less than the smaller body of horse. The dragoons who charged at Balaklava are far cheaper than the " big men" on horseback - yam accompany the Queen now and then from Buckingham Palace to St. James's. In what does the superiority of these " big men," admired of nursery-maids, con sist, that we should pay so exorbitantly for them ? It is remarkable that while cavalry field officers, captains, &c., of the Line receive £1,075 as annual allowances, their more fortunate comrades of the Household Cavalry pocket £2,019, i. e., £944 more than falls to the share of Line men of equal rank. The proportion of officers to rank and file in the " Palace" horse is also noteworthy. In the Life Guards there is nearly one officer to every 11 troopers. In the Line cavalry there is about one officer to every 17 men. What is the meaning of this plethoric redundance of the officer element in the cavalry of the Guard ? Can it be for " leave of absence" purposes ? Let us now consider the relative cost of the Foot Guards and the Line Infantry. For the sake of easy comparison we will take the Coldstream Guards-2 battalions. The Coldstream Regiment has : Officers 75 Non-commissioned officers and drummers 122 Rank and file 1,600 All ranks 1,797 Pay and daily allowances £52,506 Annual allowances to field officers, cap tains, &c 6,147 Total estimate.... Nov for the 25th itegment of the Line, equal to one battalion : Officers Non-commissioned officers and drummers Rank and file 46 81 950 All ranks 1,077 Pay and daily allowances £28,615 Annual allowances to field officers, cap tains, &c 396 Total estimate £29,011 Hence, 1,797 Guardsmen cost the public £58,653, and 1,077 Linesmen cost the public £29,011 ; there fore, as the state might obtain the services of 2,154 foot of the Line for £50,022, it pays £631 more for 1,797 Guards than it would for 2,154 " Liners," suffering thereby a loss of 357 men, and actually paying in hard cash for the " privilege" of incur ring such a loss, £631. The enormous amount of " annual allowances" pocketed by field officers, &c., of the Guards is worth remarking. The Gredadier Guards are down for £9,500, the Coldstreams for £6,147, the Fusi liers for a similar sum, while the " annual allow ances" to field-officers, &c., of a Line corps are set down at £396, or £792 for two Line battalions ; consequently, two battalions of Guards receive, in shape of allowances to field-officers, &c., £5,355 more than a like number of Line battalions. There is a major-general inspecting Foot Guards, aide- de-camp,and assistant adjutant-general,charged in the estimates at £1,125 Bs. 4d. There is a lieut—general inspecting Infantry of the Line, aide-de-camp, and assistant-adjutant general, charged at £1,990 15s. sd. Therefore, the head-quarters of the last-named general being in London, the duty of inspecting the Foot Guards (five battalions only " in town") might with benefit to the public service, and at a savivg to the public purse of £1,225 Ss. 4d. a year, be confided to him. At p. 40 of the " Estimates," 1859-60,y0u will find a very peculiar entry—viz., " Three solicitors for the Foot Guards," at £6B Bs. 9d. per annum each solicitor. What functions do these gentlemen per form? Regiments of the line do not require lawyers; why, then, do the Foot Guards ask the taxpayer s to furnish them with £205 6s. 3d. worth of law a year ? At present I will encroach no further on your valuable space. I trust, however, I have written enough to show that_real economy is not the order of the day at the Horse Guards, and that a revision of our entire military polity, financial and adminis trative, is sorely needed. MR. THACKYRAY, MR. YATES, AND THE G.A.R.RICK CLUB. Mr. Edmund Yates has printed a pamphlet g i v i ng the history of his quarrel with Mr. Thackeray and the Garrick Club. It will be seen from the following letter that Mr. Charles Dickens offered his mediatiol " Tavistock House, Nov. 24, 1858. 44111 y dear Thackeray,—Without a word of pre lude, I wish this note to revert to a subject on which I said six words to you at the Athenaeum when I last saw you. " Coming home from my country work, I find Mr. Edwin Jame s ' s opinion taken on this painful question of the Garrick and Mr. Edmund Yates. I find it strong on the illegality of the Garrick proceeding. Not to complicate this note, or give it a formal appearance, I forbear from copying the opinion ; but I have asked to see it, and I have it, and I want to make no secret from you of a word of it. " I find Mr. Edwin James retained on the one side ; I hear and read of the Attorney-General being retained on the other. Let me, in this state of things, ask you a plain question. " Can any conference be held between me, as representing Mr. Yates, and an appointed friend of yours, as representing you, with the hope and purpose of some quiet accommodation of this deplorable matter, which will satisfy the feelings of all concerned ? " It is right that, in putting this to you, I should tell you that Mr. Yates, when you first wrote to him, brought your letter to me. He had recently done me a manly service I can never forget, in some private distress of mine ( g enerally within your knowledge) ; he naturally thought of me as his friend in an emergency. I told him his article was not to be defended; but I confirmed him in his opinion that it was not reasonably possible for him to set right what was amiss, on the receipt of a letter couched in the very strong terms you had employed. When you appealed to the Garrick committee, and they called their general meeting, I said at that meetin g th at you and I had been on many yea rs , an d that I was very myself opp ose d t o you • but that I was clear committee had nothing on earth to sorryg ood that tteor find n ms t c o r do with it, and that in the strength of my convic tion I should go against them. " If this mediation that I have suggested can take place, I shall be heartily glad to do my best in it—and God knows in no hostile spirit to any one, least of all to you. If it cannot take place, the thing is at least no worse than it was ; and you will burn this letter, and I will burn your answer. " Yours faithfully, " CRABLI DICUrI3. " W. M. Thackeray, Esq." MR.
