If you will kindly publish the answer they re ceived,: it will at once become evident that the only available means of putting an end to the report is to be fiund in your . columns, and I shall be much obliged by your early insertion of this and the in closed letter.

" The humble petition of the members of the North London Political Union and others, inhabi tants of London.in public meeting assemVed, " Sheweth— " That your petitioners have read with astonish ment and regret that certain members of your honourable house oppose their enfranchisement, ou the ground of their poverty and ignorance, and that the constitution, property, and social order will be endangered. We deny that the object of the working classes in obtaining the franchise is the subversion of the constitution, plunder of pro perty, and the destruction of social order. But on the contrary, we desire to see the constitution shed ding its glory on all around, egad to protect from plunder the people as well as property, that social order may be preserved. We, therefore, pray that your honourable house will pass, with out further delay, the measure now under dis cussion for amending the representation of the peo ple. We also pray your honourable house to show the working classes that respect to which as men they are entitled, by discountenancing the use of such terms as have been used towards them by the opponents of the bill. We also pray your honour able house to remember that you are no more than men. And also, not to forget that, notwithstand ing we work with our hands for our daily bread, and for the bread of our families, we are men, and your equals. And we further pray your honourable house to consider that such terms as clowns, scum, boors, ruffians, and the like, applied to the great body of the working classes, by their offensiveness are likely to create an antagonism disastrous to the best interests of the nation. Mr. LON GMEAD moved an amendment to the effect that the petition be not adopted, but that Lord John Russell's measure be allowed to fall into the contempt which from its insignificance it merited. Mr. ARABIN seconded the amendment, but on the chairman taking the sense of the meeting the amend ment was declared to be lost, and the resolution and petition carried by a large majority. The proceedings then terminated. • " The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the destruction of the health aad happiness of thousands. These objects are discussed in a common-sense and highly practical manner."—Medical Circular. London : H. Bailliere, 219, Regent-street. " Spring•gardens, May 1. " Gentlemen,—ln answer to your letter, which I have got within this hour, I might observe that you do not mention the name of any gentleman to whom I have made the statement to which you allude. " I can very safely assure you that I did not say what your letter attributes to me ; but, as I desire to be quite candid, I admit that I have repeated a report which reached me touching Mr. Smith, at the same time mertioning my authority. If, therefore, the report which has come to you has come through me, you probably know already who was my autho rity. As far as lam concerned, however, I will take any consequences upon myself rather than im plicate one who spoke to me in the confidence which is implied in private conversation. At the same time, as I do not disclose my informant, I have every reason from your letter to suppose that he was mistaken. I cannot hesitate for a moment to express my regret at having been the means of giving any further circulation to a report which I have now the pleasure to believe unfounded, and you may, of course, make what use you think pro per of this letter.—l am, gentlemen, your very obedient servant, " J.

The vacancy in the representation of this county was yesterday filled up by the election of Mr. Benyon, of Englefield House, as successor to the much lamented and deservedly esteemed Captain Vernon. The nomination took place in the County hall, in the ancient town 'of Abingdon, and the number of electors was large, considering that there was no probability of a contest. The HIGH SHERIFF, Sir Paul Hunter, having opened the proceedings, ' Mr. R. PALMER (late M.P. for Berks), proposed Mr. Richard Benyon as a fit and proper person to represent the county of Berks in Parliament. Mr. Floyd, a farmer, seconded the nomination ; and no other candidate having been proposed, The HIGH SHERIFF declared Mr. Benson to have been duly elected. The announcement was received with rounds of cheers. Mr. BENYON, who was well received, said he felt highly flattered by the honour which they had conferred upon him by electing him to fill the va cant seat in Parliament. He reiterated the senti ments contained in his published address to the electors and concluded by assuring them that to all public questions he should give his earnest and careful attention. A vote of thanks to the High Sheriff was car ried, and three cheers for Mr. Benyon concluded the proceedings. PARLI IMENTARY COMMITTEES. PACKET AND TELEGRAPH CONTRACTS. This committee met again on Tuesday—Mr. Dun lop in the chair. The Earl of Eglinton attended, and entered into a statement of what came under his cognisance, with respect to the contract for the Galway line, while he was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The noble earl was accommodated with a seat beside the chairman. He said he considered the Galway line would be extremely beneficial to Ireland, and would afford the quickest mail communication be tween that country and America. He considered it would be also beneficial to England for the same reasons, and he therefore felt bound to recommend it to the favourable consideration of the Govern ment. During the whole of his stay in Ireland he never knew anything which created so strong and universal a feeling in its favour as did the Galway line. _ _ Sir S. Northcete—lt has been suggested that there was some political view on the part of the Government in this matter with regard to the borough of Galway. Lord Eglinton—l can only tell you I considered Gaiway as perhaps the most hopeless borough in a Conservative point of view, of any in all Ireland ; and nothing more surprised me than when I heard that Mr, Lever was going to stand for it, except when I heard that Mr. Lever was going to sup port the Government, The noble earl proceeded to say, in reply to ques tions by Sir F. Baring, Mr. Laing, Mr. Ellice, and other members of the committee, that the Lord Lieutenant had no power whatever in the cases of money matters. He could only recommend such cases to the Government, and he recommended the Galway line on the broad principle that it would be beneficial to Ireland. He had read in the news papers the speech of Mr. Lever, in which he said he would support any Government which would give Gaiway the packet station. He did not think the Cunard ships would ever have run from Queens town unless the Galway line had been established. Mr. Lewis chairman of the Galway Company, was examined chiefly in reference to the negocia tion between Mr. Lever, Sir C. Roney, and Mr. Allan, for the transfer of the Galway contract by Mr. Lever to the Montreal Ocean Steam Ship Com pany, which was fully gone into at previous sit• tines of the committee. Mr. Allan, on the part of the Montreal Company, made an offer for the line, which was rejected by the Galway Company as being much below its value, and ultimately they refused to sell the line at all. There were 10,000 paid up shares expressly provided by the articles of association as a remuneration to the promoters of the undertaking, of which 2,500 shares were allotted to Mr. Lever. Mr. Ellice—Did any members of Parliament re ceive any of those paid-up shares ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Lever did, as I have already said. Mr. Ellice—Did any other member of Parliement receive any of those shares ? Witness—Yes. Lord Bury, as chairman, received 71 shares. Mr. Roebuck never received any of the shares. He was offered some, but refused them. Any statement to the effect that he did receive shares would be absolutely false, and without a shadow of foundation. That I know of my own knowledge. Sir S. Nortlicote—Lord Bury's services to the undertaking were, I believe, very considerable ? Witness—Yes ; he took a voyage to Newfound land to carry it out. Sir H. Willoughby—Lord Bury may be said to have gone to considerable expense in the affair ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Weaver, manager of the Galway Company, gave some statistical details of the average number of voyages and passengers carried by the line since its opening. Mr. Lever, M.P., again presented himself to give some further evidence relative to negotiations be tween himself, Sir C. Roney, and Mr. Allan, as to the transfer of the Galway Company. He adhered to his former statements on this point, and persisted in saying that that negotiation was only entered upon by him for the purpose of getting an offer from the Montreal Company, in order that the capital required for the Galway line should be more readily subscribed, and it had that effect. The committee then adjourned. JAPAN AND TILE UNITED STATES. We have accounts of the reception at San Fran- cisco of the Japanese Anibassadors to the United States :—" The United States' steamer Powhattan, Captain Pearson, bearing the flag of Commander Tatnall, arrived at San Fran cisco on March 27th from Japan, via Honolulu. She brings the Japanese embassy, consisting of two principal ambassadors, Princes of the highest rank among the nobility of the empire, and two asso ciates, who are nobles of nearly equal rank. These four are of the Emperor's Council. They are ac companied by a suite of 16 officers. The following is a list of the embassy .—Simme,Prince of Boozen, envoy, and Mooragaki, Prince of Awadsi, envoy ; Ogoori Mataitsee, chief censor; one Tice-Governor of the Treasury ; one Vice-Governor for Foreign Affairs ; one secretary of the first rank (Sembay Akoo) ; two inspectors of the first rank; two secre taries of the second rank; two treasury officers; two inspectors of the second ; two interpeters ; two doctors, and 53 servants. The Powhattan arrived at Honolulu March the sth, and remained there till the 18th. The ambassadors were there received with all formal honours. Private hospitalities were extended on• every hand, and then King and Queen held court at the Palace for the reception of the distinguished foreigners, and welcomed them in appropriate terms. They were also entertained at a grand ball given by the officers of the Pow hattan, expressing great delight at the gay and novel scene. They bring 100,000 dols. to defray their expenses; although the Embassy is invited at the sole expense of the United States. They were given the best quarters on board the Powhattan during the voyage, and arrived in good health and highly pleased. The chief dignitaries are magnifi cently dressed in embroidered silk robes, each wear ing a sword of beautiful workmanship. They have conducted ithemselves with great dignity and propriety. The Japanese Ambassadors visited San Francisco on the 31st ult., and have remained the honoured guests of the city ever since. 20,000 dols. has been appropriated from the City Treasury to provide for them suitable entertainment. All the corporation officers, the members of the Legislature, the Governor and citizens generally, have paid their respects in person, and on the 2cl inst. a grand pub lic reception was given the strangers at the largest hall in the city, where the United States officers, both civil and military, with the foreign Consuls and State authorities, participated in the reception ceremonies. The Japanese carry an immense amount of baggage, including many boxes of presents to the United States' Government. The Powhattan, on the day of her arrival, went to Mare Island Navy-yard, all the Ambassadors remaining onboard. It will require several days to overhaul the steamer and.take in coal, when she will sail for Panama. The Ambassadors will thence proceed to Aspinwall, where the United States' steamer Rpanoke is ex pected to be in waiting to convey them to Washing ton. They are so well pleased with the Powhattan that they express their wish to have her detained at Panama to convey them back to Japan on their return from the United States. They purpose spend ing. about a month on the Atlantic side, although their time is not limited. The Board of supervisors i sex ordered pe n t ee b toe a nd s s bad sent a memorial up to the Legislature, asking an appropriation of 20,000 dols , to be expended in entertaining e apn odwt the ea the tst Japanese tanamat y bo . osaar T idl a foo e nr rt attaches haenasmtl r e e r of th e the Commissioners about that time." ST. HELENA. Extract from a letter from St. Helena, dated 26th March, 1860 : " The slave trade must be sadly on the increase. You are aware that this is the great depot for the slavers to be condemned at, and within four months not less than five slavers have been brought in. Of these three had 450 slaves on board of one, 750 slaves on board of another, and 510 slaves in the third. One was sent here with the captain and mate on board. Before her arrival the Mystic, American war steamer, came to meet the slaver. She had been sailing under American colours. After having had a hearing before the magistrates they were given up to the American commanding officer, and were taken away heavily ironed. Were this barbarous and cruel trade made a reciprocal treaty between the nations, and slavery treated as piracy, we should not have our senses shocked at the sights and horrid stenches so often witnessed of late. We have frequently been told that the slave trade has been immensely over-rated. Good God ! it would indeed make your heart ache and freeze your blood to see the wretched creatures land, being absolutely living, but filthy skeletons, their faltering bodies covered with sickening sores, and in a few days nearly 200 died out of 600. We are well informed that at the present moment there are scores of vessels on the African coast engaged in this hateful traffic. The American captains here make an open boast of what they do, and the profit are so enormous, that it is worth their running any amount of risk. Fortunate it is that there is never a public dinner party, or we should have to pro claim martial law. ' suppose you have heard so much of the French sin the tlielst of January, 1859, that you arc tired of the subject. I must, however, admiuister a homoeopathic dose. You know they have purchased the_ house Napoleon the Great died in, and the tomb he was buried in, some distance away. The house is being newly done up. Of course, like all govern ment property here, it was entirely in ruins. It is now being renovated in conformity to an old en graving taken at the time of exile. • Mons. de Rougemont is the conservator of the tomb. Napo leon 111. sent him a few days since a couple of horses as a present, which, we are told, were ridden by the Emperor through the Italian campaign. " One thing we are greatly annoyed at. The French draw rations from the commissariat, which the colonial officers or officers of militia must not do. There are several French soldiers and engineers here measuring and sketching. What does all this mean ? Coupled with the uneasy feel., Yesterday evening the 18th anniversary meeting of the friends and supporters of those admirable charities took, place at St. Martin's-hall under the presidency of the Earl of Shaftesbury—the Bishop of Ripon and others being present on the platform. The meeting having been opened with prayer, Mr. TAWELL, the secretary, read the report, which gave in most lengthy detail the result of the operations of the charities during the past year. The report stated that the large free day schools were in full operation for infants, boys, and girls ; 375 fresh scholars had been admitted during the year, making 3,830 since the opening of the present premises. On one occasion, when 510 children were present, 123 were found to be either fatherless or. motherless, 12 were orphans, 17 destitute ; the parents of seven were in prison, and of two in mad houses, and 13 were deserted by either father or mother. Every afternoon the girls have a sewing class. The new articles made by it were sold to scholars at one-third the cost of the material. Those made from worn material were given to the most destitute ; and but for this assistance many of the children tvould be naked. During the past year .166 scholars had obtained situations from the day school, 83 were sent to refuges, 64 to the Royal Navy, 44 to the Shoeblack Society, 14 to the Cross ing-sweepers Brigade, and 11 restored to their friends, making in all 382 provided for. The winter average attendance at the boys' night school was 150, and the boys' industrial classes had been very well attended indeed ; 288 fresh pupils had come to the tailoring class and 328 to the shoemakers.' The girls' industrial or servants' preparatory class con tinued to be of the greatest service; 56 girls from the class this year received prizes for retaining their places over 12 months. The penny bank in connexion with the ragged school had 313 depositors, who had paid in during theyear £173, and withdrawn £196, leaving in the hands of the treasurer a ba lance of £59. The large amount of the withdrawals had been mainly occasioned by the builders' late strike. The male night refuge, with the excep tion of about 6 per cent. was frequented by youths and destitute men of good character. During the year it has supplied 32,736 lodgings and 72,000 Boz. loaves of bread to 8,147 persons, of whom 747 have been provided for and are now earning their living, and many others had got, through its aid, into re gular employment. The new female night refuge had admitted during the year (though only opened on the 21st Dec. last) 1,368 women, who received in all 16,660 lodgings and 24,000 loaves of bread, with coffee night and morning; 205 of these poor crea tures had been provided with clothing and sent to domestic service or into refuges, and 215 to other kinds of industrial ocecupation. The girls' refuge for the most respectable girls from the general re fuge had proved a most valuable branch, and the Clothing Society, Maternal Society, the Bible schools, and ragged church service, had all been of the utmost use, and the latter especially was well attended and fully appreciated. The annual sub scription had increased, though at present, unfor tunately, it did not nearly equal the expenditure. The balance in hand from last audit was £1,914 17s. nel., and this, with the receipts and subscriptions, amounting to £5,643 17s. 41d. made the whole sum to be accounted for during the year, including in terest on the Vines' Fund, £7,558 15s. 2d. Of this sum £2,937 4s. Bd. had been expended, including £1,421 for the new refuges. The remainder, with the exception of £776 10s. 6d. balance in hand, had been invested. Thus on the whole the report stated that upwards of 10,000 of the poor and destitute had been participators in the bentfits of these charities, and of this number 1,580 had been removed from the streets and placed in positions, where, by the exercise of their own industry, they were en abled to maintain themselves respectably and inde pendently. On the motion of the noble CHAIRMAN, seconded by the Bishop of RIPON, the report as read was re ceived and adopted, and the meeting, which was addressed by many friends of the refuges and ragged schools, terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. BRU7'ALITY 2 0 WOMEN. It is not to be supposed that the fortuitous majo rity obtained by Lord Raynham upon the propriety of flogging the brutes who, taking advantage of their superiority in physical strength, wound and beat their wretched wives, will ever pass into law. Still the fact that such a majority has been ob tained is a public event which we are bound to notice. Here is one of the cases in which reason and feeling arc absolutely at variance. Of course, every man would be but too willing to tie the wretches who commit these assaults upon helpless women up to the triangles, and lay on with a hearty good will, if he could not find a public officer to discharge the duty on behalf of the nation. So far there is no doubt about the case. These men ought to be flogged, and soundly, and we should all be too delighted to lend a hand in furthering so good a work. Here, however, is the difficulty :—Under the existing state of the law, and now that the wife-beaters are only exposed to the penalty of im prisonment, the utmost difficulty is found in induc ing women to come forward as accusers. True it may be said women reason thus :—" If we go be fore the magistrate and give such testimony as causes the breadwinner to be locked up in gaol for two, three, or more months, what is to become of us and our little ones ?" Practically, women do not reason in that way, and their reluctance to pro ceed against the men who have illtreated them arises from a totally different series of causes. What • would be the case if the penalty of flogging were substituted for the penalty of imprisoment ? We know not how this point may strike different minds, but to us it seems that, even as far as a wife's chances of securing support for herself or her chil dren are concerned, she would not have much aid to expect from the savage brute who came bleeding from the turnkey's hands, and still more savage than before. This, however, is not the real point. If you attach a penalty of corporal chastisement to the crime of wife-beating, there is not one woman in five hundred who will come forward to bear wit ness against her husband, simply upon the ground that, brutal as he may have behaved to her, she does not, on the whole, choose that the brute hould be flogged. The repression under the existing state of the law is not worth much; but still, of the little hope of repressing the crime by positive law there would be a like end if Lord Raynham's injudicious proposition for flogging the husbands were to pass into law. There is no class of questions which gives more trouble to the metropolitan police magis trates than this one—" What can you do with the brute who is brought before you on the charge of beating his wife, with the moral certainty . upon his mind that any punishment you may inflict upon him will in all probability only lead to a repetition of the offence, and with the abso lute certainty that when you order the man to be locked up you are practically sending the wife and children to the workhouse ?" Every now and then an obvious six months' case is brought up, and that is plain sailing enough. If the woman lies in danger of her life from the man you can protect her for the space of six months, and then it must be as it must. We would simply call attention to the fact that Lord Raynham had by chance obtained a majority upon this point, but we have such confidence in the common sense of our legislators that we feel certain the error will be rectified before the bill passes into law.—Times. THE LONDON HOSPITAL—The London Hospital is the sole general hospital, not only for a fourth part of the metropolis, but also fur the neighbouring portions of Essex and Hertfordshire. It is surrounded by docks, factories, and workshops, and receives, with few exceptions, the ac cidents and urgent cases which occur among a population exceeding 500,000 persons. During, the year 1859, 29,290 patients were treated in the hospital, of whom 1,230 were recommended by governors, and 2 , 439 we re admitted with out recommendation. The annual expenditure has hitherto averaged about £17,500, and its li:zed is about £12,000. The charity has . this year fustamed los , s of ~-C1,500 per annum by the cessation of the Lung and I.er minable Annuities, and it h as also been necessary during; the past year to expend £l5OO in repairing the foundations of the building. •The 120th anniversary festival of the charity was held last evening at the London Tavern, when about 250 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The Duke of Cambridge was in the chair, and made an earnest and em phatic appoal on behalf of the institution, which was libe rally responded . to. During the evening the secretary (Mr. Nixon) announced subscriptions to the amount of £23,819, the largest amount which has ever been published at any charity dinner held in London. The band of the Fusilier Guards occupied the gallery, and played a selec tion of music during dinner, and afterwards a party of vocalists, under the direction of Mr. Francis, performed a selection of Focal music, Mr, Harker acted as toutmaker, EXTRACT OF SENTENCE.

In Paris both manufacturers and retail dealers continue to suffer from the protracted continuance of cold weather, and the latter class only make in considerable purchases to keep up their assortments. The sugar trade in Paris has been dull both as re gards the raw and refined article. In the aifferent manufacturing districts, although a certain number of branches of business are still suffering from the period of transition of the old to the new Customs' tariffs, there are others which have lately assumed considerable activity. At Grenoble, the glovers have received some large orders, and the linen manufacturers, the printers of calico and other tis sues, and the paper manufacturers have attained a weld degree of animation. It is the same at St. Etienne for gloss and ironmongery. lace and other articles made in that place. At Rouen and nal hausen there has also been an improved demand, both for cotton goods and yarn. The accounts from Lyons continue to be of a rather gloomy character. The makers of silk goods cannot effect sales of their productions except at concessions in prices, while the rates for the rav material only give way in the most trifling man ner. Nothing in the shape of cyders have been lately received from America, nor are any expected for some time, the stock of silk goods in the New York market being now consi derably larger than it was at this time last year. The cotton market at Havre has been animated, but no advance in prices has been obtained, although the last accounts from New York speak of higher quo tationa there. - Great progress is being made in the building of the Glasgow, 51, screw frigate, and the Chanti cleer, 17, screw corvette, in Nos. 1 and 2 building sheds in Portsmouth :dockyard. The first-named vessel has, with the exception of a portion of her stern, the whole of her framing in position, and the greater portion of her midship flanking on. The Chanticleer, which was laid down on the 2d of Feb -ruary last in the adjoining slip, is also complete in her framing, with the exception of a part of her stern. The stern framing of both vessels would have been in the same forward state as the other parts had it not been for the great difficulty experi enced in procuring the necessary supply of curved timber suitable for the purpose. Upwards of 250 hands are employed on both vessels. The first blocks were yesterday laid down in Slip No. 2, from which the Barossa was launched a few weeks ago in Woolwich dockyard, for the construc tion of a new gunvessel of 200-horse power. The Anson, 91, screw steamship, building • at Woolwich, is being rapidly advanced towards com pletion. Her topsides are being painted, and the caulkers are proceeding with their work. She is ordered to be ready for launching this summer. The Hon. Robert Pandas, Storekeeper-General of the Navy, and Capt. Charles Eden, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, paid an official visit yes terday to Woolwich dockyard, and inspected the new arrangements for transmitting the factory stores ordered to be annexed to the storekeeper's department, and put into operation on the Ist of April, the commencement of the present financial year. They were accompanied by Commodore Drummond and the principal officers of the yard. The visit was likewise extended to a minute inspec tion of the model screw steam schooner Ranger;Com mender Wratislaw, in a forward state for sea, when some new internal arrangements were sug gested and ordered to be adopted for the conveni ence and accommodation of the officers and the freer ventilation of the berths., They likewise visited the paddlewheel steamsloop Hecate, ordered to be brought forwar l for commission and which is being fitted with a small poop deck, to be used as a chart room, in order to facilitate the surveying duties for which she is about to be despatched, in the Pacific.

[AnvErerisrmr.s . r.] Holloway's Pills.—Headaches, biliousness, loss of appetite, and lowness of spirits, so fre quently prevalent in the spring, are all removed by a oduree of these purifying pills, which act so mildly yet so energeti cally, on the different organs of the body, that they never tail in removing the disagreeable symptoms of indigestion above enumerated. No noxious substance enters into the composi tion of these pills, hence everybody may take them with safety. They act mildly on the bowels, strengthen the sto• mach, and brace the nerves. They induce a healthy action hn theliver, and invigorate the whole system. In enfeebled, de bilitated, and hardly-used constitutions they at once effect a marvellous improvement, which day by day ga ins ground as the pills are taken.
