Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford isknown 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 Il laY 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 Circular.

Where a doubt, involving the happiness of a life and that of others, may possibly exist, and where the solution of such doubt can be easily obtairp:d, reason, morality, and intelli 4'ence dictate the duty of having it solved. There are many Who entertain suuli doubts respecting their present or future state of health in particulars profoundly affecting their own future and the future of those who ought to be dearest to them, and often occurs that such doubts have relation to Painful recollections of a period of life when the lie bits are too easily moulded by evil example. Is the doubt, then, too Well founded on formidable facts, or can it be removed and Peace and serenity imparted to the mind by skilled investiga tion ? Zhat is, indeed, "a momentous question," which every man of sense and conscientiousness ought to put to himself under trustworthy advice. Should the result show that no pressing case of fear exists he will have the seitisfac b9n of knowing it, and receive information which may guide his future path in fafety ; and should matters assume a graver aspect and calamitous consequences be threatened, such can be arrested by judicious tre ,tment.

" The Post-office Turkish Bath., 19, St.Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart of the City,. an institution that more nearly than any disco very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all Its appliances, and most admirable in effect.

A genial April day, with a few drops of rain between, bright gleams of sunshine, rendered the closing scene of this successful meeting quite agreeable. The sport was not too long for enjoyment, five races only being set down for decision. These, with two walks over, comprised the entire bill of fare. After a drive to the other side of the ditch, where the winner of the Newmarket Handicap was unex pectedly defeated, and a Plate of £5O won by a complete outsider, the company returned to the Flat, and saw Old Calabar canter in for the Bennington Stakes. A Handicap with 12 runners finished the business of the last day at three o'clook ; and some betting took place on the railway platform, where a long train awaited the London portion_of the visitors to the Craven Meeting. The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas ; 3-yr-olds, 7st 31b ; 4-yr-olds, 9st 71b; 5-yr-olds, lOst 41h; 6-yr-olds and aged, lOst 81b. R.C. Mr. Savile's Harlequin, 3 yrs, 7st 3lb (carried 7st 61b) • (G.

The thvourite made the running at a slow pace, waited upon by Harlequin to the plantation turn, where the latter got closer, but, hanging slightly, Fordham began in ear nest, and rode him every stride. Ascending the hill Harlequin got within a couple of lengths of Carbineer, and the two finished a punishing race home, Harlequin, by sheer gameness, and the determination evinced by his rider winning is the last stride by a head.

T.Y.C, ket, on the Bth of November, 1794, so that although almost a naturalisedYorkshireman, he can't deprive the south of the distinction of having bred him. His father was, like him self, an eminent trainer, and resided at Chipponham,where he trained and rodo for that well-known sportsman, Sir Harry Featherstone, whose passion for cock-fighting was as great as that of a late Earl of Derby and Dr, Bellyse He also numbered among his employers Counsellor Lade, and many of the gentlemen in the neighbourhood. After residing at Chippenhana some years, ho moved to Oxford, where he bechme proprietor of the Ship Hotel, but still carried on his occupatiOn as a trainer, un til his declining years compelled him to give it up, and he retired to Brighton, where he died in 1818, at the advanced age of 97. The present John, who early gave symptoms of having " something in him," commenced his career, almost as soon as he could walk, in his father's stables, And in riding ex ercise gallops and light weights he progressed until he had attained the ripo age of thirteen, when his sire thought he had sufficient knowledge of the world to be trusted from home with a mare called Tenbones, by Flying Gib, with orders not to bring her back, but to sell her for: thirty pounds if ho could find any one to take her off his hands. Armed with these instructions, and accompanied by his fa vourite terrier, Viper, the infant jockey started on his journey; and after having been nearly lost on Salisbury Plain, the solitude of which, when covered with snow, al most appalled him, he arrived at Blandford, and did up his mare. Dorsetshire never was at any period a very en lightened county, and when the boy rode into Blandford the people''could hardly have been more astonished if he had dropped down upon them in a balloon, for the roads were considered almost as impassable as the Alps, from the quantity of snow that had fallen in the neighbourhood, and N't hid' kept a great many hones away. —.Success, however, crowned the persevering energy of John Scott, as he not only won a £5O plate with his mare, but actually sold her for £6O, returning home on the Oxford coach as proud as a Sultan, from having more than justified his father's idea of his precocity; and from that moment he never wanted poc ket-money. On his father's retirement from business, John Scott went to Sir Watkin Wynn to ride light weights; but not liking Wales, from, in all probability, the ale being too strong for him, his sojourn with the old baronet was not of long duration. He was also engaged to ride for Sir Sitwell Sit well, and between him, Old Saddler of Alsworth, and Stevens of Bourbon on the Hill, he spent his time until he left the south to assist Croft, who was then the great trainer of Middleham, but who, getting old, required some younger person about him, whom he could trust with con fidence. This post was one exactly suited to " John," for as such we must now call him. And one of the very first missions which ho had to undertake was taking charge of Filho da Puts on his way to Newmarket in his great match with Sir Joshia. And to this very hour ho declares that if Filho had been left to him he would have won easily enough. But the Chifneys, who were great friends of the Crofts, fancied he was too big, and sending him along, brought him )ut, to John's disgust, as stale as a poster, and he was beaten. Shortly after this match, Mr. Houlds worth, who appreciated the force of his remarks, and sym pathised with himin the disappointment he had experienced in regard to the result, engaged him as his private trainer. In this capacity ho resided first at Rockhill, in Sherwood Forest, and subsequently, after his marriage with Miss Barker, the daughter of a worthy innkeeper at Mansfield, he removed to Manifold, training his horses in the forest, and annually increasing his reputation by the number of races he wed to wia. With Mr. Houldsworth he remained 10 years, and on hie retirement Mr. Petro engaged him in the same capacity, and he trained for him at Mansfield for a couple of years, whin Whitewall House and stables being in the market, he purhased them in 1825, and removed to Melton, where he ha! ever since resided, and became, as it were, the sovereign d the place. In 1832, John (the York shireman will so persist in calling him nothing else, that we cannot break oursdves of the habit) found the summer ground at Langton Weld so hard that he hired Pigburn, near Doncaster, where there was a capital ploughed gallop on which he used tt go before the horses came up to Epsom. And it was no doubt owing to these tactics he won many of his greetest races. In fact, but for it New minster would never have got through his St. Leger, for it will be recollected he went like a cat on hot bricks at York, when Frank Butler was beaten on him. But after 1851 John, with his fan gallop on the Weld, and his pre served ground at Leatherhead, found he no longer needed Pigburn, which had every year been getting deteriorated, and he therefore gave it up. and trusted to his home re sources. These have proved amply sufficient for his pur poses ; and although Langton Weld is rough in some parts, and objections have been made to the tan gallop, fewer horses have broken down in the Whitewall stable than in any other of a similar scale. To speak of the head of Whitewall's abilities as a trainer i quite supererogatory, for they are as much recognised by Englishmen as'the mili tary talents of Wellington or the naval genius of Nelson. Both these heroes had their gazettes with their victories given to the world, and so we can say the same of him, for are not the records of Old Burlington-street at least as in teresting and preserved as sacredly as the archives of the Horse Guards or the Admiralty? Like all great comman ders-in-chief, that of Mahon has not escaped the breath of calumny, but like them he has lived it down, if the patron age of such noblemen as the Marquis of Exeter, Lord Derby, Lord Fitzwilliam, and others of the same standing is any criterion by which we may judge. To witness him on the Wold on a May morning directing the work of his teams, is like watching a general handling a brigade of cavalry in the valley of Aldershot; while, judging from recent events, we will venture to state the discipline of the stable is more effective than that of the barracks. Advanced in years as John Scott now is, and "short of puff," as he describes himself to be, his deafness, which came on two years back, has not in the least detracted from the sharpness of his intellect, which is bright enough to detect in an instant any question of an improper character which may be put to him respecting the horses of his em ployers. Watched as his string are by a regiment of touts, to whom the electric telegraph cannot be denied, it is no wonder that the reports of trials reach London and Man chester so early. And although his employers may now and then be annoyed that they are anticipated in the mar ket, they should bear in mind that they themselves are watched as much as their animals, that their own depar ture for Whitewall is immediately wired to confederates at Mahon, and arrangements for " a key," by which the London and Manchester markets may be skinned, are con cluded, while the owner is spelling a penny paper in the railway carriage. Sometimes, nay, frequently, the fore sight of the old gentleman is sufficient to disconcert the plans of these pests of the turf, but occasionally the victory is on their side, and in many instances it is occasioned by his employers persisting in trying at a time when circum stances would justify a postponement. Of course in so large a stable as that of Whitewall the proportion of blanks to prizes must be as great as in other trainers' establishments; and although it has been insinuated that John Scott's atten tion has been often diverted from "the little fish" to "the big ones," we can safely state, from personal knowledge and observation, that every horse that goes into the Whitewall stable is treated alike, and that John Scott knows no dis tinction between owner and racer. And, moreover, we have repeatedly known him recommend noblemen and gentlemen rather to shoot animals of theirs he had in training than to keep them on, which would only be to his own benefit, But it is with delicate horses and those with doubtful legs John Scott has achieved his highest honours on the turf, and of his treatment of legs and feet he most prides himself upon, His St. Leger successes, which are the most remarkable feature in his career according to our notions, are to be at-. tributed in a great measure to the rest he gives his horses in the early part of autumn, so that when he comes to Don caster he meets a number of animals that have never been eased since Goodwood, and are, consequently, so stale as to be easily bowled over, In his public capacity it is admitted that John Scott has no rival near his throne, and his brother trainers pay him the same amount of respect as is universally accorded to him by his lordly employers, who relish as keenly his jokes and anecdotes as those of his immediate friends. In private life he is no less respected, being not only a perfect gentleman ;in his manners, but lavish to a degree in his hospitality. And although per haps not able to enjoy the society of his friends as he used to do, the kindness and devotion to him of his second wife, whose attention to the comforts of the guests at Whitewall deserves the strongest recognition, causes the uniortunate infirmity to be less sensibly felt. And in the management of the interior of his establishment he is as fortunate in 'having such a helpmate as Mrs. Scott, who by her foresight en two or three occasions has pre vented great favourites from being nobbled, as he is in his secretary, Mr, John Peart, who conducts his correspond ence with a degree of ability not often seen in a Government department. Of his rough-and-ready lieutenant, Jom Perron, all we can say is that by nature he is exactly fitted for the post he has so long hold, and ho fully deserves the friends he has made in it. As a breeder, John Scott has been most successful, and many of his " young things" have fetched large prices ; and he has an extraordinary fondness for animals of all descrip tions. Latterly he has given up hunting, and now devotes his leisure to reading the newspaper and current literature of the day, with all the industry of a member of Boodle's, displaying as much interest in the result of a division as in the fate of a battle, or the produce el a brood mare. Braver than his old " colslipanion in arms," John Day, he once ven tured across di e Channel to Boulogne, on a matter of busi ness invo l ving some hundred pounds. But his stay there not long enou g h to make him adopt the habits of a Frenchman. For the morning following his arrival, having made an affidavit that was required of him, he strolled down to the pier, and the water being as smooth as a carpet, he could not resist the temptation of slipping into the steamer Igidc lAD, for for he PilQuid not get euc4 anotAer dab leaving Mr. Peart to follow him the next afternoon. Thus hare we given our readers as full an account of John Scott as we think they could desire, and from our intimate know ledge of his character we do not think we have overcoloured the picture. Part and parcel of Yorkshire, we shall never look upon his like again, and both by rich and poor his loss will be equally felt. ?HE LAST WORDS OF 1111?. P 172. 8 subs.

The current number of Bailey'sHonthly Magazine gives the following admirable biography of John Scott : With our April number we present to our readers the portrait of one who, by force of his position, acquired by rare ability and uncompromising integrity, has foe the last 30 years occupied more attention in the racing world than any other of his class, and who is still recognised at the chief trainer of England, and consequently of the world. Familiar as the public are with the portraits of John Scott, we imagine there can be but one opinion, that he has never been given to the world so happily as in the present instance ; and the artists, Messrs. Southwell, are the more to be con gratulated upon their succeFs, seeing that their subject sat to them the day after he had received the melancholy tidings of the burning of Klarikoff, and the destruction of a large amount of valuable property, and which naturally led to a feeling of nervous depression impossible to conceal. With this brief but necessary introduction, we premise our sketch of his life, which if not of such length, or interlarded with so many anecdotes, as might be anticipated, will be excused, we hope, as it is our intention to commence next month a series of articles,entitled " The Whitewall Papers," which will embrace all the remarkable features in the career of the great u-inners,whose plates figure on the stable (1,, 0r5, and whose portraits embellish the walls of Mr. P.,cott's re sidence. gr l Job Scutt 1A At Quip uoxr Ncwmar. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l ask permission to state in your columns a misprint, as it turns out to be, of my own, which will have interest for some at least among your numerous readers. They may have noticed in the fourth volume of my "Life of Fitt" an account of his last illness, de rived from the papers at Woburn Abbey, and drawn up by my uncle, the Hon. James H. Stan hope, who was present in the room when he died. The handwriting of my uncle was far from good, and this manuscript.is by no means easy to decipher. I read in it, as I thought, and my copyist, under my own eye, transcribed, the last words of Ur. Pitt as these :—" Oh, my country ! how I love my coun try ?" As such the words have been published. Since the publication, however, I found that the transcript by another person has the word " leave" instead of "love," referring, as it was natural for Mr. Pitt to do, to the disastrous state of the con tinental war produced by the battle of Austerlitz. By the kindness of the present Duke of Bedford, I have been enabled to refer once again to the original paper. It reached ma only by this morn ing's post. Having examined it with care, I have now fully convinced myself, no doubt whatever remaining in my mind, that I was mistaken in my first impression, and that " leaVe" is the real reading. The last words of Mr. Pitt, as an ear-witness has recordef them, were therefore certainly as follows— " Oh, my country ! how I leave my country !" I shall not fail to restore the right reading in the next edition of my book, but I think that it is never too early to acknowledge or correct an error, and I shall be glad if you will permit me on this contro verted question to make known at once the real fact to the public. I am, Sir, your very obedient, humble servant, Chevening, April 24. STANHOFE. * 4 * [Lord Stanhope's letter is decisive. Had it reached this office a day sooner, we should have been glad, in the review of Pitt's Life which was published yesterday, to have adopted it for certain, instead of giving it, as we did, with a note of interrogation. It was not like Pitt to go out of the world saying, " How I love my country !"]—ED. TIMES. A YEAR OF THE CIVIL WAR. The President, in issuing his noble proclamation setting apart to-morrow as a National Thanksgiv ing, has doubtless been mindful of the significance of the date, and has fitly chosen that the anniver sary of the blackest day in our national annals shall be signalised by a devout re cognition and grateful remembrance of all the Providential experiences that fill the interven ing twelve months. It is a year ago to-day an hour before sunrise, that the first gun was fired on Fort Sumter; a year ago, to-morrow, that its little band of heroic defenders surrendered to armed traitors. This, then, is the first anniversary of the war for the Union. We shall have enough of them in days to come—anniversaries of triumph—some few of defeat ; of Hilton Head and Henry, and Donnelson, and Roanoke Island, and Newbern, and Pea Ridge, and Pittsburg Landing, of Lyon's death and the surrender of Lexington, and of Bull Run, and of glorious victories yet to be won. But none of all of them will come to us as this first one comes, the anniversary of the attack upon Fort Sumter, of the first felon blow struck in the bad cause of se cession and rebellion. How vividly we recal the troubled days which preceded it ; the slowly gather ing clouds which betokened the approaching storm, but whose warnings we refused to accept, still hoping against hope, still confident that madness could not have so far carried away our Southern brethren, and that they would yet refrain from fir ing the train which they had laid. How we recal the anxiety with' which we watched for daily tid ings from Major Anderson and his little band of heroes, who seemed going down into an ever deepening gloom of privation and danger, deserted by all but Heaven, and then the spring of hope as we saw the Government at last bestirring itself to shake off the paralysis into which imbecility and wickedness had brought it, and taking imbecility and wickedness had brought it, and tak means which showed some prospect of relief to that brave company, And then, one year ago to day, there went over the land those magnetic pul sations which proclaimed that the die was cast, that rebellion had crossed the Rubicon, that the hands of traitors had aimed hostile shots at that glorious banner which their and our fathers had fought for, and which had been to them and to us the symbol of all that was truest and best and most hopeful for humanity. Who can forget the thrill with which he heard that dreadful announcement, and how the land started under it ? Who of us can forget how men went through the streets with pale faces with rage and teeth set with determination, and how all the land was filled with the cry of patriotic fer vour with which we gathered round the old flag ? How we flung it to the breeze from every corner of the streets, how our eyes filled with tears as we gazed upon its glorious folds ? We had never loved it half enough before, had never half appreciated all its significant beauty, and now how that beauty burst forth like the morning from every hill top, and everywhere throughout the broad North all traitors and cowards slunk away before it amazed, abashed, disheartened, discomfited by the outburst• ing patriotism of a people whom they had thought to he sunk too deep in materialism and selfishness to be capable of such a sentiment. All this comes over us fresh as if it were yesterday. And yet, when we think of all we have lived through since that day, it seems like a life of centuries. We, who had gone our daily rounds of business and of plea sure, who had married and given in marriage, who had bought and sold, built houses and lived in them, built ships and sailed them, busying ourselves about this material prosperity of oars, which, splendid though it is, has yet little of the heroic in it, we to be thus suddenly plunged into such a whirlwind of events, which not even history can make dull, of sensations running through the whole range from defeat and disgrace to victory and success coming in upon us like a flood ! How could such a year fail to occupy more space in our lives than our whole lives beside ? How much has been crowded into it ! We cheered our patriot hosts as they rushed from all quarters of the land to the defence of their Government, so causelessly assailed ; we heard, with gleaming eye and close-pressed lip, the dying shout of that Massachusetts boy in Baltimore, our first martyr, "All hail to the Stars and Stripes ;" we laboured and we waited alike ; we went down through the Valley of the Shadow of Death after the fatal field of Bull Rim, and nerved ourselves only with firmer determination to e irry on the con flict to the bitter end ; we have followed, with ever increasing joy, the movements of our armies, as they slowly gathered around the strongholds of rebellion, sweeping them down one after another, and engulfing them as surely as the rolling tides of the Bay of Fundy engulf the beach. And now we stand to look back over the past year and thank God for it, as the richest, most bounteous year in our history. A year of privations, but of privations nobly borne. A year of griefs scattered broadcast through our peaceful homes, but of griefs which were counted as nothing for the sake of the cause. A year of heroisms springing up among the people common as wayside flowers. A year of growth in firmness and endurance, in courage and strength, in all those manly qualities which make a nation truly great. A year of progress such as, in our shortsightedness, we had thought that only PRICE..... ~..4d. STAMPED ....sd. years would bring. A year mighty in events, but mightier yet in promises. A year not free from stain, not wholly pure, not wholly worthy of the great cause which it has borne forward, but yet a year whose burdens and whose honours we can never be too proud that we were permitted to share. Far better one such year " than a cycle of Kathay!" This year cicses brightly around us. Victory is ours—defeat is the portion of our enemies. We are confident in ourselves; we are conquering the ap proval of those who hear us none too much good will. What shall the nest year bring to us ? Shall it be as this and yet more abundant, or shall we be called upon in our turn to drink the bitter cup of disaster and defeat ? He who sees the end from the beginnirg alone knows. But if we are only true to ourselves and to the teachings which this year has given us, no overthrow, no disaster can take from us the valuable results of this past year, and the world will be richer, and mankind will be the better, for the burdens, the toils, and the cares which have filled full its hours.—New York, Tinzes. 211 E TWO COTTON CROPS. The Southern planters have not destroyed their last cotton crop, nor will they give over planting their next crop. The former is safe on hand; not all ready for market to be sure, but in the gin houses ready to be prepared for market. A few thousand bales have successfully run the blockade; a few more have been captured in the attempt to run the blockade. With these trifling exceptions a full average crop of cotton is now in the country. The war ended, it will soon be seen with what alac rity and certainty this crop will come forward. There has been no application of the torch to it yet, and we venture to say there will be none unless through force of the military rule in particular lo calities, and then only in the desperation of retreat. Even in the rebel councils at Richmond, a proposi- tion to burn the crop was voted down. The pro position was simply the mad thought of men who have little or nothing of cotton or any other mate rial wealth to lose. It scarcely rose to the dignity of a self-sacrificing idea, since all the sacrifice would be with the planter, and not the politician. The talk of Moscow is worse than moonshine. The con flagration of the whole three million bales believed to be on hand in the States in insurrection would not prevent the national authority from repossess ing the places and territory and channels of trade which Secession is attempting to deprive it of. The conflagration of Memphis, and Vicksburgh, and New Orleans would not deter the same authority from restoring the freedom of the navigation of the Mississippi, from its head waters to the Balize. The Government is not after the capture of Southern cotton or Southern cities. With the first it has nothing whatever to do. The latter they will either occupy or restore to their allegiance, not for their own sakes alone, but for the restoration of the com merce of the whole Union to its accustomed chan nels. The President of the United States could not if he would, give up the freedom of the Mississippi. Backed by the whole North and East, if such back ing were possible, he would not be permitted to do so. The great North-west would never submit to its surrender. That point is certain. End this war when and where you may, the free navigation of the great Father of Waters is part and parcel of the inalienable heritage of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, lowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, —as much so, and more, if possible, than the heri tage of Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The present cotton crop will not be destroyed, nor the cotton ports on the lower Mis sissippi given to the flames. Nor will the succeed ing crop be neglected. The seed is now going into the ground. It will germinate as usual, and the plant will grow and bloom, and its textile product be gathered in due course of the revolving season, and a second crop will be on hand before the crop of last year is fairly disposed of, (lien though the war should end by midsummer. The Richmond• councils attempted to instruct the planters not to grow another crop. The attempt failed, and if it had not the instruction would have been disre garded, The planter may devote more attention to his corn crop than heretofore, but the main busi ness of his costly possessions in land and negroes will go on. By confession of Yancey himself, and others of the Confederate conspirators, cotton is no longer king in Europe, nor indispensable to the North. The destruction of one crop, and the failure to grow another, would neither revolutionize the one nor convulse the other. Such folly would simply deprive the planting States of their chief, if not their only, element of material strength,—New York Times. A RELIC OF THE ROYAL CHARTER. A Welsh paper records the death, at Llanallgo, Anglesea, on the 4th inst., at the age of 47, of the Rev. Stephen Mime Hughes, M.A., rector of the parish, much and deservedly respected. And what is there to be said of this Welsh clergyman ? some of our readers may ask, Many however will, it may be hoped, remember that Stephen Roose Hughes was the sincere christian pastor who, then rector of Llanallgo, on the iron-bound coast of Anglesea, the scene of the wreck of the Royal Char ter, did so much to alleviate the deep grief and sor row so widely spread by that awful calamity. How well he succeeded, aided by his excellent wife, is best known to those who visited the scene of his untiring exertions ; but the public also read in the newspapers of the time (October, 1859), and subsequently in All the Year Round, of the inces sant toil, the daily and nightly labour, undergone by this single-hearted man in the cause of huma nity. We must not repeat the story of his house crowded with mourners ; of parents and children, brothers and 'sisters, frantic to know whether the remains of their lost ones had been recovered ; of days spent among the clammy figures of the drowned searching for marks of identification ; and then the i n terment, never once performed without solemn rites. a 1 v,„,, w ould convey no adequate concep tion of the labours which this event entailed, though the fact that Mr. Hughes had to write a thousand and seventy letters on the subject of the shipwreck may afford some notion of their scale. His zeal in the cause of the afflicted and destitute brought upon him expenses which quite out-stripped his means, and the great exertions he made in the Royal Charter year so shattered his constitution that he lay on a bed of sickness the year following for three months, his illness ending in rheumatic fever. For some months past he seemed to be re covering his strength rapidly, and laboured with untiring zeal as a pastor. The day of his death he had been engaged all the morning in visiting his poor parishioners, and returned home to his tea happy and cheerful ; in ten minutes after tea was over when sitting in his chair by the fire, he ex pired without a sigh ; smiling even in death. Doubtless he rests from his labours, anti will be rewarded by the Master in whose service ho was content to spend and be spent. But the partner in his beneficent toil remains behind in this world of hunger, cold, and tears, unprovided for. Messrs. Coutts, on being informed of the melan choly end of Mr. Hughes, immediately opened an account for contributions at their bank, heading the list with £lO ; gentlemen in their establishment contributed ; Miss Burdett Coutts, £lO, and Charles Dickens, who visited the worthy man and so graphically described the result, has sent £l5 15s. We also learn that the Corporation of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity-house have done themselves the honour to vote £5O in aid, so that ere long we hope to see that a response has been made to 016 appeal, which shall do honour to both • giver and receiver. Mr. Watt, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN, in accounts,h e reporteteinniogdgratifyingwesm sa a aio s daf t tachkpfeenynwa manner.rr e e. a s d o . h r sg e a L very satisfactory ; evcr e y y t a h n i: it in w ov a i s n u g n t n h e e ce a ss d a o r p y ti f o o n r h o the m to report and statement of g Their latest e or c, vi i c e ni There r u rhoo l er n l vr e a e mßn weredoe explicitßombay oafya rrorw roads t edu was trouble b g l e o i t n h g e m o a n t any i a eatinnlhedeennigtmnst the p t which must be of advantage to railway under takings in India. Until the completion of the ghat lines they must not look for any considerable deve lopment of traffic over their main line; but they believed that when that was accomplished the through traffic would increase materially. There were vast improvements now going on in India , which would greatly tend to increase the resources of the country. The financial position of the com pany was highly satisfactory to the Government, and the directors believed that all the money had been properly and judiciously expended. liir ic of the report. o M.P., se co nded the motion for the adoption Mr. LIIMSDEN thought it very unsatisfactory that they were compelled to deduct so large a sum as £39,000 out of their receipts for the half - yeai N to pay a contractor for conveying the goods, &c., over the ghats on the ordinary road. Mr. AYRTON, M.P., a director, explained that they were under the necessity of having the goods so conveyed in bullock carts over the ghats at great expense, until that difficult portion of the railway was completed. The public had the advantage of a through rate, which included the cost of all inter ruptions. The rate was low, and no extra charge was made for the transfer of the goods from the railway to the bullock carts, and when they passed over the ghats the goods had to be transferred again to the railway. This was a very expensive process, and the goods were sometimes damaged, for which the company had to make compensation. But when this portion of the railway was completed the whole of the £39,000 which they were now compelled to pay would be saved to the company ; and as the expense of transhipment from the rail way to the road and from the latter again to the railway would more than cover the cost of haulage up and down the ghats, the working expenses would not be increased by that additional mileage. The gross receipts for the past half-year amounted to £151,000, out of which the company had to pay the £39,000 referred to, reducing them to £112,000. From this the working expenses of the railway had to be deducted, leaving a net balance of £23,800 ; but if the railway had been completed, and they had only the same amount of traffic, the net balance would have been £62,800 ; because they would not have had to pay the £39,000 for cartage ; so that what they now paid for that service was a dead loss to the company. Mr. THORNTON wished to know how it was that they had adopted so low a rate of charge, having to pay so much out of their earnings for cartage over a few miles at the ghats. Mr. AYRTON stated that a mutual arrangement had been come to with the Government to charge low rates, but they were considered as experimental rates, and would be continued until they had more experience of the traffic, so as to enable them to fix on a proper scale. He thought there should be an increase in the rates rather than a decrease. The CHAIRMAN, in reply t o a question stated ' that the railway up the Bh ore g hat could be com pleted in about a year from the present time, and the railway up the Thull ghat some time in 1864. The report and statement of accounts were then unanimously adopted. On the motion of Mr. ROLLS, the four retiring directors were re-elected. After some observations by Mr. HARTRIDGE on the question of audit, which he said might cost any sum from £25 to £l,OOO per annum, Mr. G. Smith was elected an auditor in the room of Mr. Frank lin, who resigned. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. COLNE VALLEY AISID HALSTEAD. The length of this line from its junction with th© Eastern Counties at Chapelle will be 193- miles, of which nine miles are now being worked; four miles more will be opened in a week or• two, and the re mainder is expected to be ready for traffic by July.
