Translated from German of Dr. PICKFORD. ‘.‘ Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers frm this distressing shalady by translating this little book, anti by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adirenturers, who profess to cure a disease of which they imply nothing, with no, other object than to fill their own putsts. 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 Circular. . . •", We have dilated-so long upon the contents of' the preli minary chapter, that we - have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."-- Dublin Medical Press.

By Dr. LA'MEnT, 37, Bedford-square, London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Fclinburgh ; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &e. The above work conta'ns most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of t hat degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend.

The inquiry was resumed yesterday morning for the eleventh time. Dr. Forbes Winslow, in his cross-examination by Sir H. Cairns, said—My first interview with Mr. Windham was in the afternoon, and lasted till dinner time. At the conclu sion of the interview, I asked Mr. Windham to write a let ' ter, which he did, and which Dr. Mayo has. I was first consulted about this case at the end of the last, or the be ginning of the present month. It was Mr. Nicholls, of Norwich, who came to me first about it. I had not seen Gen. Windham and Mr. Neale before that. Dr, Neale first called on me two days after I saw Mr. Nicholls. I saw Gen. Windham for the first time about a week or ten days after that. I will not undertake to say that it was not the first week in November that I saw Gen. Windham, but my diary would fix the date. At the interview in Cavendish square we all sat round the table. I was furnished with the affidavits previous to the inter view by Mr. Field. They wore the affidavits on the side of the petitioners only. When I said I had not seen the medical affidavits, I meant those on the other side. I did see the medical affidavits on the side of the petitioners. They were placed in my hands three or four days before the first interview. I suggested that Dr. Mayo should bo associated with me. He also was furnished with the affidavits. Dr. Mayo and myself had a short con. sultation previous to the interview. I made a few notes of the result of the interview, but I have not got them here. I was supplied by Mr. Field with a list of certain questions which I was to put to Mr. Windham. I have not got that list with me. (At the suggestion of Sir H. Cairns, hacked by the recommendation of the Master, Dr. Winslow sent for this list, his notes of the interview, and his diary.) I had no other directions as to the subjects upon which I was to question Mr. Windham. I had seen General Windham before the 11th of December five or six times. The longest of these interviews probably extended over half an hour. I will not swear it was not over an hour. Twice 1 saw him at his house, and the other interviews were at my own house. I am quite satisfied that the two interviews I had with Mr. Windham wero sufficient to enable me to form an opinion as to his state of mind. I came to a conclusion at the first interview, but I did not express any opinion until after the second. I thought it necessary to see him again, to satisfy my own mind as to certain points upon which I had not formed any strong or conclusive opinion at the first interview. For instance, as to his pre sent mode of living. I do not recollect having seen Mr. Field or General Windham between the two interviews,nor that I had any communication with them. I will not swear that I had not, but I have no recollection. I formed my opinion of his incapacity to manage himself from various circumstances ; first, from the fact of his having, against do advice of medical men, contracted marriage while labor ing under a loathesome and communicatable disease; then, from his callousness to all ordinary feeling, when he know that his wife's paramour had slept with her or in the same house with her the night before her marriage; further, I do not think a man capable of managing himself who could act, as Mr. Windham admitted ho had, as a guard and en gine -driver on a railway train, or who was unable to form a right appreciation of the position in which he had placed himself by contracting such a marriage, and living in friendship with a man who boasted of having been his wife's pat amour previously to her marriage, Those are the prin cipal points upon which I formed my opinion as to his in capacity to manage himself. The way in which ho admitted having, shortly after coming into possession of his pro perty, involved himself in such serious liability ; the fact of his quietly acquiescing in a course of proceeding which, if he had the capacity to reason upon the consequences of his own act, he must have known would ruin his property —I allude to the sale of his timber ; in fact of his living with ltoberts,and his apparent indifference as to the amount of the expenditure he was incurring,and his general remarks in answer to questions relating to his affairs and the gift of the £14,000 of jewellry to Mrs. Windham as compensation for the injuries he supposed he had done to her. These are the main grounds on which I formed my conclusion as to his incapacity to manage his affairs. I arrived at my con clusion from the questions I put to and the answors I re ceived from Mr. Windham in combination with what had been told me by General Windham and Mr. Field. I assumed that what they told me was correct. I assumed that the statements they made as to the value of the timber were correc`•, and that under the contract the estate of Felbrigg would be denuded of timber, that the £14,000 of jewels had really been given to Mrs. Windham in compensation. If a young man just coming into a large property contracted gambling debts, involving his estate to a ruinous extent, I should not consider from that fact alone that he was of un sound mind and incapable of managing his affairs. If such a person contracted a marriage with an unchaste woman I should not consider that alone evidence of unsoundness of mind. If he made a present of £6,000 of jewellery to his wife on his coming of age or at his marriage I should not consider that as proof of unsoundness of mind ; but I take all the circumstances and all the facts together, and drawmy conclusions from the whole. In the conversation at the interview Mr. Windham told me that a medical gentleman had informed him that the sore upon his person was a mere abrasion of skin, and not the result of disease. I had not heard that just before the marriage he had consulted a me dical man, who told him ho might marry safely. He did not tell me, in reference to the gentleman who slept in Mrs. Windham's house the night before marriage, that he had engaged to have no more communication with her. Although I do not consider that the mere fact of a man marrying a woman of previously unchaste character proves imbecility of mind, I think it makes a material difference when the husband knows that her paramour was with her up to the night previous to the marriage. I think such a marriage under such circumstances is an act which no man who was not drunk, drugged, or insane, would commit. 1 did not know that the house in Wimpole-street was taken by Mrs. Windham's brother for the purpose of the wedding, and that the brother slept in the house on the night in question as well as the gentleman referred to. I do not think a taste for driving railway engines would be proof of incapacity in a man to manage his own affairs, but it is one of the elements of the case, and we nauat. look at all the elements in combination. I take that together with various other acts of folly. He admitted that he had acted as guard to a train and driven an engine. Ile also admitted that he had acted as a waiter. I think the driving of an engine by an amateur, though competent, is an act of folly. I do not think driving a four-in-hand or a stage coach by an amateur who is competent would be an act of folly. An amateur who takes charge of a railway engine might im peril the lives of hundreds of people, but an amateur who drives a four-in-hand or a stage coach imperils only the lives of his friends, who go with him voluntarily. It would be different hi the case of a public stage coach, but iu that event the risk would not be so great as in that of a railway train. I think it would still be an act of folly for an ama teur to drive a railway train, though he had the engine driver by his side. I have here the original paper I got from Mr. Field of the questions I was , to put to Mr. Wind ham, and also the notes I made at die time; but I should explain that I found it impossible to follow the questions regularly, as Mr. Windham was constantly starting from ono subject to another. When talking of the timber con tract, Mr. Windham did not refer to the long distance which the timber had to be carried. He did say something about Felbrigg beirg 23 miles from the railway, and that there was that extent of land carriage to be taken into ac count in considering the price at whits the timber had been sold. He should also state that he understood that the most valuable timber was not to Le cut, but he did not tell me the ornamental timber was not to be cut. I did not refer to the ornamental timber. I assumed that'l had been rightly in formed that the whole of the timber was to be cut down. I heard nothing from Mr. Windham to the effect that Gene ral Windham had been to Lawrence and Fry, and found chat they were the bona fide purchasers of the timber. General Windham never made such an admission. Mr. Windham said that his uncle, Gen. Windham, had made a proposition to him to place hit; property in the hands of trustees, to pay a nominal rent for Felbrigg, and to reside there up to a certain ago or year. Ho did not tell me when that proposition had been made, but said that he had refused the offer and spoke of a device on the part of his relations generally to get possession of his property. He did say he refused the offer because he thought it was meant to benefit General Windham and his children. He said, Gene ral Windham wanted me to place the, property in my pos session in the hands of trustees, paping a nominal rent for my own house at Felbrigg, and then that they would give me a larger income out of the outlying property until 18:59, when I should come into the whole of the property. Ho said he refused this, as the object was to benefit General Windham and his children. He said General Windham cared nothing for him personally, but only wanted to get the pro perty. I asked about Mr. and Mrs. Lowellyn, and how long he had lived there. He said they were excitable people, but he said something complimentary about Mrs. Lewellyn, and that she had been kind to him. I did not endeavour to elicit a laugh from Mr. Windham to judge of his manner of laughing. It was one of my instructions to do so, but I did not obey it. One of the instructions was " Mr-Windham's fancy must be tickled to get him to laugh." I did not think it necessary to follow these directions, but treated Mr. Windham with great respect throughout. His answers had to be repeated to enable Dr. Bright, who is deaf, to hear. I did not observe that ho showed anxiety to change the conversation when subjects of a disagreeable character were mooted. Theso two interviews were un doubtedly of a very trying character to Mr. Windham, seeing that be knew the object of them. Ido not consider that he went through the examinations very creditably. There was no particular excitement exhibited by him. There was nothing in his conduct or manner inconsis tent with the character and habits of a gentleman, but he was very childish in his manner. I did ask him whether he himself had not been sexually intimate with his wife before her marriage, and ho said he had not. Then I asked, " Have you not said to others that you have ?" He said he had not. On the second interview I repeated the question pointedly to him, whether he had not made such a statement, and he then remarked that he had said, "that he had had all he wanted out of his wife before manage," but he added, " I said so out of a blind, not wishing other parties to know what I was going to do." lam certain that this was at the second interview. On reference to his notes the witness admitted that this remark was made at the first interview, and that there could not therefore have been any contradiction at the second. Examination continued—The contradiction must have taken place at the first interview. I was informed by Mr. Field that the gentleman with whom Mrs. Windham had previously lived slept at her house the night before the marriage, I did not ask him for any details of his debts. He appeared to be sensible that he was in law liable for his wife's debts; and added, that after a certain time he would advertise in the papers that he would not be answerable for any debts his wife might contract. I attached importance to his answer as to what would be his feelings towards Roberts if he found that he was the real purchaser of the timber, and not Lawrence and Fry. I find my entry in my notes, as Mr. Windham's answer to nay observation on that point is, " I should like to hear what they say in court before I decide." I heard from Mr, Eield or General Windham where Mr. Wind ham lived. Ido not remember whether it was any part of my instructions to get an admission from him as to his living in Piccadilly. Ido not know that he was spoken to about Roberta's knowledge of timber. I did not ask him whether Roberts was not known by the name of "Mahogany" Roberts, but I believe Dr. Mayo used the word. I first com municated the result of my investigation at a consultation at Mr. M. Chambers's chambers. Ido not think from Mr Windham's appearance, that any person seeing him would come to the conclusion I have expressed. I cannot draw the exact line of demarcation between sound and unsound intellect. If I had had no information as to any facts com municated to me by Mr. Windham, I should still, from what I saw of him, and from his answers to my questions, have come to the conclusion that he was of unsound mind, and incapable of managing himself and his affairs. On being pressed upon this point, Dr. Winslow said—lndependently of the data furnished to me, I should have had no means of testing the state of his mind. I could net have come to any decided opinion, unless I had the means furnished to me to judge from, in combination with what I siw at the personal interview. By the Master—lf I had heard nothing of him before, and had no previous facts or data to go upon, I should have been very loth to have drawn the conclusion that Mr. Windham was of unsound mind. I should have thought him a man of weak intelligence, but I would not have certi fied to his unsoundness of mind. The cross-examination of Dr. Winslow was still proceed ing when the time of adjournment arrived, and will bo re sumed to-morrow (this day).

From the notices published of late respecting the extraordinary activity displayed in the outfit, com mission, and despatch of the first-class reserve gun boats to the Mersey and elsewhere it might natu rally be presumed that an equal degree of activity existed at the head quarter depot of the gunboats at Hasler. This is not the case, however. With the ex ception of 3') hands specially employed to complete the Tyrian, begun, but delivered in an unfinished state by a private builder, there is nothing doing in the yard and shipway. It would take a considerable number of hands some length of time to render the boats stored under Hasler sheds fit for commission. Many of them now lying on the blocks with their copper off and an air-strake out of their planking on each side have lain thus for 18 months, and some still longer, since they were partially examined and passed as sound boats. If a judgment may be formed of the probable state of the whole of these, from a recent examination of one of their number, it may be concluded that many of them now are exceedingly faulty. There can be but little doubt that many of these vessels, which at the time of the official exa mination may have had but a rotten timber or piece of planking at wide intervals, are now very defec• tive. The line of blocks on which the boats are stowed aro divided by brick partitions into six equal parts, and the whole covered by zinc ridge and furrow roofing. The mortar boats stand on the opposite side of the yard, with their decks merely covered with penthouse roofing. In the first divi sion of the gunboat sheds are stowed the Caroline, Pet, Pert, Tiny, Wolf, Crocus, Camel, Skylark, Garland, and Gannet. The seven last named have each their copper off, with which exception they are supposed to be complete and sound in their hulls. But it is well known that they are not. 'The Pet and the Pert have portions of the planking stripped from their bottom. One is in a gcod state of preservation ; the other is not. One was built in a public and the other in a private yard. The remaining boat in the shed is the Caroline, still doing penance for her faults of construction. In the second divisional shed stands the Mackerel, fixed like the Caroline. Both vessels should be pulled to pieces and their places occupied by craft that may be some day of use. In addition to the Mackerel is the Flirt, with for e part of keel and some of her timbers crumbling to dust from dry rot. Her after body has not yet been sufficiently opened to give a correct idea of its state. The Cherokee is bare yet to her timbers, which are being completed slowly for planking. The Brave is rather more forward, and will soon commence planking. The Beaver and Badger have been hauled up, and still retain their old copper, with an air-strake of planking out, but no one can say what condition they are in until they have been fairly opened. The remaining boats here are the Primrose, Prompt, and Pickle, belong ing to the uncoppered class. In the third shed are the Fervent, Albacore, Gnat, Swan, and Redbreast, of the uncoppered class; the Grinder and Brazen, with their old copper on; the Beacon, stripped of planking, and making good her timbers ; and the notorious Whiting, at length nearly complete in her new planking. In the fourth shed stands the Snap per, partially opened, and faulty, as also may be termed the Pincher; the Peacock is stripped of planking, and making good her timbers; the Gadfly , Rocket, Midge, Charger, Parthian, Blossom, and Confounder belong to the supposed sound, but un coppered class. In the fifth division the Thrush and Ready are partially stripped of their planking, and in the adjoining and last division of the sheds are the new class of gunboats now building by the Go vernment, comprising the Minstrel, Netley, Orwell, Bruiser, and Cherub, with the majority of their timbers and framing in position, and the Tyrian, completing, after having been received in an unfi nished state from the hands of the contractor, as already stated. The mortar boats in the yard consist of 12 built of wood and nine of iron. Of the condi tion of the former at present no one can speak with confidence until they have been further opened and examined. Twelve months since they were said to be in gocd condition. Three-fourths of the gunboats are of GO horse power. Of those afloatin the port are the advanced flotilla, comprising the Rose, Raven, Blazer, and Highlander. From this class have been detached the Amelia and Escort for service in the Mersey. To supply the places of the advanced flotilla in the first-class reserve the following boats are being hurried forward in the ship and steam basins of the dockyard from the second-class reserve :---The Jas per, 80-horse power, and the Earnest, Savage, Cracker, Foam, Swinger, and Pheasant, of 60-horse power each. The remainder of the gunboats in the port reserve consist of the Fenella and Hunter, of 40-horse power each, and the Chub, Decoy, Ant, Rambler, Daisy, Angler, and Cheerful, each of 20- horse power. The gunboat-yard at Haslar at pre sent is a solitude compared with the chief yard at Portsmouth. In the latter it is one continuous scene of energy and bustle. The efforts of the departments are at present chiefly concentrated upon the gun boats being brought forward for first class, and the veasels in the ship and steam basins and contiguous docks, comprising the Black Prince, 40, screw, ordered for completion by the 30th of April next ; the Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander Jackson, bound for Vancouver, ordered for the 15th inst. ; the Sutlej, 51, screw, for the 10th inst. ; the Tribune, 32, screw, for the Ist of February; the Duncan, 101, screw, for the_2Bth of February ; the Glasgow, 51, screw, and the Frederick William, 86, screw, for the same date; the Octavia for the Ist of March, and the Esk for the 9th of May. In addition to these the Coquette, _ complete dsco'w mscmr ee commenced idfso receiving' : l e s mi t v e mi d n ig ; s s a iho n en d r a masts;st h e rapidly e Dart, n a ds s pb , 00 s st sh c i r b e wl w ei 1, , i a h nb a de s very probably will be commissioned before they are out of the hands of the departmental officers of the dockyard. The Black Prince was yesterday placed in No. 10 dock, and after having -her bilge pieces, &c., fitted to her bottom, will be payed over with the composition prepared by Mr. Hay, the dockyard chemist, in a like manner to the Warrior. - The Warrior, 40, iron frigate, Capt. the Hon. H. A. Cochrane, C. 8., steamed out of Portsmouth har bour yesterday and• anchored at Spithead, where • she commenced taking in herpowder and shell. Her armarnent, including the eight 100-pounder Arm stlongs specially sighted for her main deck, had , been completed prior to her leaving the harbour. From what could be ascertained, during the short time she was under way in going out to Spithead, of the power of her new tiller, it is said to have acted much more efficiently upon the helm than the old yoke did. It does not, l cv.'r improve the sailing qualities of the ship, the only means of amending which will be to give her a larger rudder. Under circumstances of slackened speed in narrow channels or tideways, she will go whichever way her bow takes. The Black Prince acts precisely in the same manner when placed in similar circuum stances. .. - The Edgar, 89,screwflagship of Rear-Admiral 8. C. Dacres, C. 8., is ordered to remain at Spithead until further orders. It is expected that if news favourable to the interests of peace are received, she may be sent to the Mediterranean. The Victory, flagship of Admiral Sir H.W. Bruce, Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, and the St. Vincent, flagship of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Hon, G. Grey, paid off their crews pro forma yes terday. , Bothphips are recommissioned, and retain their respective flags, with the officers attached. The Victory henceforth resumes the duties she for merly fulfilled as a receiving ship for continuance service men, &c.; and the St. Vincent becomes the boys' training ship, and will most probably only carry a commander in lieu of a post captain as at present. The two ships consequently exchange train ing brigs, the Rolla becoming attached as tender to the St. Vincent, and the Sealark to the Victory. The Wellesley, 72, Capt. E. G. Fanshawe, was paid drat Chatham yesterday, after being in com mission since the Ist of May, 1858, and was imme diately after re-commissioned by Capt. Fanshawe, her, present officers being re-appointed to her. Her detachment of Royal Marines landed yester day and 'was relieved by another detachment from head-quarters. The screw frigate Severn, 51, 2,767 tons, 500 horse power, fitting at Sheerness for commission, completed coaling yesterday, and was removed from the great basin and placed at moorings in the stream. 'She is very far advanced in her outfit, and can be ready for sea in a few days after receiving her sailing orders. This splendid frigate will be a powerful addition to the fleet on the North Ame rican station. The fine line of battle screw steamship Majestic, 80, 2,591 tons, 400 horse power, having undergone a thorough overhaul in No. 3 dock at Sheerness, has been removed into the steam basin, where she is to be completed with the utmost despatch. She is a most efficient ship, teak-built, and constructed in the East Indies, but converted into a screw steamer in this country. The hired steam transport Adelaide which left Greenwich on Monday with victualling stores and munitions of war for British North America, passed down Channel outside the port of Plymouth yesterday afternoon, all well, with a strong favour able breeze from the eastward. , Capt. Dutton, commanding the chartered steam transport St. Andrew, awaiting orders at Woolwich pier, yesterday received instructions from the War Department to commence the shipment of a heavy cargo of general war stores for Halifax. The cargo will consist of 10 Armstrong 100-pounder guns, 80 tons of powder, and 1,200 tons of shot, shell, and other stores. Although well fitted to accommodate troops, she will not carry any, as every available space below deck will be taken up with munitions of war, provisions, and military clothing. The saloon cabins, 32 in number, and 14 second class berths will be occupied, it is stated, by staff officers and others appointed to that station, members of the r s e Army s on Hospital Corps, and a body of t ra i ne d u Miss Nightingal e ' s p r i nc ipl e . n lane following appointments were made at the Admi ralty last evening : Commanders—G.H.

One hundred and eighteen men belonging to the Royal Artillery, under the command of Major Ban brun, Captain Addington, and Lieuts. Mansfield, Isaacson, and Elwin, arrived in Bristol yesterday morning from Granby Barracks, Devonport, and Will proceed to Pembroke, to embark for Canada. 45 1 USPECTED MURDER AT DUDLEY. On Friday morning last, the body of a man named Charles Montgomery was found dead, under a cinder wall, at Netherton, near Dudley, under cir cumstances which left no doubt that he had met With foul treatment. Two men are in custody upon suspicion of being concerned in his death. Their names are Peter Shaw, beerhouse-keeper of Nether ton, and Edward Parkes, also of Netherton, sinker. From what has at present transpired, it would ap pear that on Thursday night the deceased was drink ing at Shaw's house. At the time he left he was indebted to a trifling amount for ale. About 12 o'clock at night two youths who had been carol singing (named Bloomer and Dixon) saw Shaw dragging a man, who was groaning, by the leg, from his house into the horse road. - He had then left the man, and upon seeing the two youths he then ate r thrown, take it shouted to them to take the man home, as he was drunk. Tljey, however, were frightened, and went home as speedily as possible. About 4 o'clo ck 11l the morning a woman named Sarah Parsons, l ivi ng . out from the entry, next door to the prisoner Parkes, heard a noise which induced her to listen. She heard Parkes say, " . I won't kill the --, but - if there's water enough in the pump I'll drown him to death." Parsons got up, and on looking through the window saw Parkes past pumpingh her r window. waterin to She a b h u e c a k r e d t , th a e nd w Oh ! I couldn't s erve . a poor . creature like and the voice of a man crying saying—" this." The man repeated th i s twice, and Parsons heard the water thrown three . times. The body of the deceased has been identified by the two lads as that of the man that Shaw was dragging into the road. At the time the body was found part of the clothes of deceased were discovered some distance from the place where he was lying. He was covered with mud, a nd the clothes he had on were saturated with wa ter. The two men w ere b roug ht b e f ore th e sitting mag i strates at Dudley yesterday, and re manded. An inquest was also opened before the coroner (B. Robinson, Esq.), and adjourned for a post mortem examination. EXTRAORDINARY CHURCH COLLECTION.—On Sunday forenoon, Iho Rev. Dr. Guthrie, of Edinburgh, preached in the Free College Church, Glasgow, in connec tion with a special appeal for the reduction of the debt on that church, when the unprecedented sum of £2,630 was put into the collection plate. The collection is the largest ever made upon any day in any church in Scotland. Three office bearers of the church contributed amongst them the munificent Stuu of £l,lOO, irrespective of this splendid donation, A letter from Paris says, The unpleasa, _nci is that occurred at Valencia between Marshal Pelissier and the Captain-General, Don Jose Orozco, and to which I alluded in one of my late letters, gave deep offence to the Spanish Government. General Orozco sent in a report of the whole affair to the Minister of War at Madrid, and the Spanish Am bassador in Paris received instructions, without loss of time, to demand explanations and reparation from the Imperial Government. The note addressed to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs was couched in firm and dignified language. It staled very explicitly that in this instance Marshal Pelis sier hid completely failed in the respect due to a private individual, and still more to a foreign gene ral officer in the exercise of his functions; and it described as they deserved the extraor4oiry lan guage and the quite as extraordinary gestures made use by Marshal Pelissier in his interview ‘Nith General Orozco. It faithfully expressed the pain ful effect produced on every member of the Gevern ment, the Diplomatic Body, and the society- of Madrid. All classes of that capital regarded the gratuitous offence as offered not only to . the Cap tain-General of Valencia, but to the - whole army, and consequently to the national honour. Marshal O'Donnell, one of the last men to submit to such conduct, appears to have authorised General Orcze to write to Marshal Pelissier, asking him whether, if such language were made use of to himself, he would put up with it. Something was said of the probability of a hostile meeting between the two; -but-I have reason to believe that, owing to the personal intervention of the Empernr ----- • satisfaction Ilk now been cf: Government as well aps - 46 --- Gegeral Orozco. The followitig is the report from the Captain• General of Valencia to the Minister of War. I have re ceived it from that capital, and it is a temperate and, I believe, correct statement of what passcd ",To HIS EXCELLENCY MARSAL O'DONNELL, MINISTER, OF WAR " Valencia, Nov. 30. "Excellency,--Tile steam frigate Christophe Colomb, of the French Imperial navy, having on board Marshal the Duke de Malakhoff, anchored this day in the port of La Grao (the port of Valencin) at about half-past Bin the morning, and in about an hour afterwards she saluted the Spanish flag with 21 guns. At half-past 101 was informed of the ar rival of the Christophe Colomb, and of the salute she had fired. Nevertheless, as La Grao is not a mili tary port, I did not consider that it was my duty to return the salute before I had received your Excel lency's orders. I nevertheless despatched one of my aides-de-camp on board to present my compliments to the Duke, and to acquaint the captain of the Christophe Colomb that Valencia not being a for tress, I found it necessary to solicit of your Excel lency the authorisation to return the salute, which I should not fail to do as soon as the order reached me. My aide-de-camp returned by 12 o'clock, and informed me that the Duke de Malakhoff had landed. Wishing to pay the Marshal a mark of respect, I forthwith proceeded to the residence of the French Consul, where I expected to meet him. After hav ing waited a long time, I was told that his Excel lency was stopping at the railway terminus, and that his intention was to remain there until he re-em balked. As I had resolved to present my respects to the Duke de Malakhoff, although the Marshal had not deigned to send me an aide.cle-camp, notwith standing my rank of Captain-General of the district, I went to the station. At that moment I wore a civi lian's dress coat, with the sash of General and the Grand Cross of Charles 111. Judge of my surprise when I heard myself reproached by a person who was not my superior with not having presented myself in uniform. lat first thought that the Marshal was ig norant of my quality, and I mentioned my title of Captain-General of the district. I added that I came as a private individual to salute his Excellency, and to offer him my respects. The Duke asked me, in an angry tone of voice, whether Spani s h general officers were not in ie habit of wearing a uniform ? I replied that we did wear it, but under certain circumstances, such as the present, general officers were privileged to wear the dress in which he saw me. The Marshal, continuing in the same tone, reproached me for not having yet returned the salute. I observed to him that, Va lencia not being a fortified town, I required a su perior authorisation to perform that formality, and that as soon as it reached me I should hasten to execute it. The Duke de Malekheff continutd, however, to conduct himself in a manner such as I would not exhibit towards a private soldier, drink ing and smoking, turning round the table, and swearing in an unseemly manner, taking no notice - of our respective positions. Tio totally forgot that were there in the presence of our subordinates. This was not all ; he ordered me to dismiss front the service, and to punish, the captain of the pore, who had promised that the salute should be re turned; and when I replied that I had no authority to dismiss a functionary, but that I would institute an inquiry and communicate the result to my Go vernment, he interrupted me in a rage, and threat ened to refer the matter to his Majesty the Em peror. I was obliged, Excellency, to arm myself with extraordinary patience to prevent myself from committing an act which would have produced a conflict. Sacrificing everything to the dignity of my country, I preferred withdrawing, convinced that "y our Excellency, as the worthy chief of the Spanish army, would take this affair to heart. It appeared that it was designedly intended to violate every respect due to a general commanding a mili tary district in the grossest manner, and in pre sence of several persons, who could scarcely restrain. themselves ; and his very character of representa tive of the Queen and of her Government was slighted. I believe there is not a Spanish general who does not feel himself insulted in my person by the strange conduct of the Duke de Malakhoff. It was two in the afternoon when I received autho rity from your Excellency to return the salute. I forthwith despatched a mounted battery to Grao. I, nevertheless, did not send with it the General second in command—first, because I had already politely presented myself in person to Marshal the Duke de Malakhoff; and, again, in order not to expose another general officer to the blustering which I had endured. It appears from the report of the captain of the port, that he had by no means undertaken to return the salute. I have further convinced myself, during my conversa tion with that functionary, that the Duke de Mala khoff had likewise treated the officers of the port with disrespect, and that he had threatened Lieu tenant Van-Halen, of the navy, with his stick. Your Excellency will comprehend my just suscep tibility. lam convinced that the Marshal's foul language was not addressed to me, and that the word ' ass,' which fell incessantly from his lips, was applied to the French Consul. That functionary, indignant at this wanton discourtesy towards him. , self, immediately informed his immediate chief, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. " JOSE DE OROZCO."
