ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Ilypochrondriasis. Trani fated from the 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 from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by hying 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. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any nctice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but tize moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

Bryan, acting third-class assist.- engineer to the Cumberland, as supernumerary, THE ARMY. The following General Order to the whole of he Army at home and abroad was promulgated yesterday : " His Royal Highness the General Commanding in -Chief, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State for War, having approved the following rules and regulations, relative to small arm ammunition for the army, they are promulgated for the infor mation and guidance of all officers. " The officer commanding the Royal Artillery, with an army, whether in the field, or occupying any garrison, fortress, or district at home or abroad, is to be considered and held entirely responsible to the General, or other superior officer in command, for the preservation and transport or sufficient re serves of small arm ammunition for the troops. " For an army in the field the first and second reserves are to be with the Royal Artillery, and the third reserve and great depot in the charge of offi cers of the Military Store Department. " The first reserve is to be conveyed in artillery small arm ammunition waggons attached to the field batteries with each division, and each of these wag gons will be provided with cradles and ladders to admit of the leading horses being made use of in transporting ammunition to such positions as it may be found impracticable to reach with the waggons. " The second reserve is also to be conveyed in ar tillery small arm ammunition waggons by the details of the Royal Artillery, which have the reserve of the gun ammunition in charge. " These reserves are to be under the immediate orders of the officer commanding the artillery of each division, who will be responsible to the gene • cal officer thereof, that the waggons containing the ammunition of the first reserve are from time to time completed, as far as circumstances will permit, from the second reserve ; and that in like manner the second reserve is completed from the third re serve in the keeping of the military store officers. (c Under ordinary circumstances the supply of ammunition in the field is to be made on requisitions of commanding officers of the corps, which are to be sent to the Adjutant-General of the division, and, should the general commanding approve, the com manding officer of artillery with the division will be authorised to make the issue ; when, however, the army or a division is actually engaged, the com manding officer of artillery may issue ammunition on the requisition of any commanding officer ap plying to him. " The second reserve should always be up with the army, but kept as far as practicable from under fire. The third reserve should not be more than an or dinary two days' march in the rear of the army. " If the base of operations should exceed an ordi nary two days' march, additional reserves will be required, but this is a matter tkat must rest with the general officer commanding, who would direct the commanding officer of artillery . to make the ne cessary arrangements with the chief officer of the Military Store Department for insuring a proper and regular supply of ammunition. " In fortresses, garrisons, &c., general officers are to held the commanding officers of artillery responsible for there being a proper reserve of small arm ammunition, in charge of the mili tary store officers, available at all times for issue. Small arm ammunition waggons will be attached to the field batteries of artillery at the camps of instruction at home, and the General Com manding in Chief desires that the general officers will accustom the troops to obtain small aria ammunition for exercise when in the field, in the manner that would be followed in actual warfare, in the cases of supply of ball cartridge, with the infantry being exhausted. " By command, " G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General." A large party of discharged troops, to the num• ber of upwards of 3-10 men of all ranks, belonging to various regiments now serving in India, arrived at Chatham garrison on Monday evening from Bombay, having disembarked the same afternoon at Gravesend from the East India troopship Mount eagle, Capt. Larby. The troops left Bombay on the 10th of December last. The next competitive examination for candidates for admission into the Royal Indian Military Aca demy at Addiscombe is to commence on Wednesday, the 16th of May, when 60 appointments will be competed for. The examination will take place at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. The Secretary of State for India in Council has determined to allow the sum of £OO to each cadet who may obtain a com mission in the Engineers or Artillery, after a resi dence of three terms at the Addiscombe College, in aid of the expenses of his education and residence at that institution. Places for the erection of barracks for the accom modation of a strong force of ca va l ry an d h orse ar tillery on the garrison parade-ground near the Military-road, Colchester, have been forwarded to the Horse Guards for the inspection of the General Commanding-in-Chief, who is shortly expected to visit the locality.

BLEC TION INTE.LLIUEI% ,'B. NORWICH, TUESDAY. After negotiations extending, over several days, two candidates have at last been secured, in the persons of Mr. W. D. Lewis, Q.C., and Mr. W. Forlonge, a wealthy gentleman from Australia. These gentlemen arrived in Norwich last evening, and at about 10 p.m. commenced expounding their sentiments to a very noisy and tumultuous meet ing. Mr. J. G. Johnson was called to the chair ; but before his arrival Sir Samuel Bignold, who has contested four elections for Norwich in the Conser vative interest, addressed the meeting at consider able length, amid confusion and some applause. He assured the meeting that the candidates se lected—Mr. Lewis and Mr. Forlonge—would not support a 10d. income tax merely to " pander to a Manchester clique." (Cheers and uproar.) The Chairman then introduced Mr. LEWIS, who avowed himself a Protestant, and expressed his conviction that Protestantism was one of the great interests of the country. He was for a free Bible, free churches, for free speech, for free platforms, and for families free from the confessional. (Cheers.) He should vote against the grant to Maynooth, and he deprecated the course adopted by Lord Derby in 'coquetting with 'the Irish Romanists, making beds to them and nibbling at our Protestant safeguards, when the Govern ment were hard presse for votes. (Hear, hear.) With regard to church- ra t es he believed the State should m a k e prov i s i on for the worship of God, and he considered that most delusive arguments were used on the subject, but he did not object to Dis senters being exempted from church-rates on con dition that they abstained from all interference in church matters. With regard to reform, he asked why should a constitution under which ,England had risen to be one of the first nations of the world be changed recklessly and upon speculative grounds ? He protested against the Radicals arro gating to themselves the right of speaking of the working classes as if theronly sympathised with them, and against any change in the constitution which would have the effect of making the votes of the working classes numerically superior to the combined opinions and votes of all other classes. With regard to foreign affairs, he sympathised with the Italians in the noble struggle they had made for liberty, but he counselled an attitude of watch fulness towards our powerful neighbour across the Channel. Mu. Lewis, who, spoke with cons id era bl e eloqueice, was warmly; cheered on resuming his seat. Mr. FORLONGE said his conservatism was the conservatism of experience, as he had seen the working of the democratic constitutions of America, the republics of South Ainciica, and the Colonies of Australia. The proposed Reform Bill would throw the whole political power of the country into the hands of one class, while the principle of the glorious constitution of Great Britain was ajudicious balance of various interests. The doctrine of annexation propounded by the Emperor Napoleon would, he feared, be found subversive of the liberties of Europe, if pushed to its full development—(cheers) —and already there was apparently a feeling of general uneasiness. As regards our policy in the East, he believed—speaking from his personal know ledge of the Asiatic character—that we must make our arms respected, and we could then do an im mense trade with China. Of the ballot he could speak with confidence, for he had seen its working in Australia and America, where every well-edu cated man and lover of his country regarded it as an immense evil. The proposed abolition of church rates he looked upon as an absolute " confiscation" of Church property. (No, no, and cheers.) A resolution, pledging the party to s u pp or t M r . Forlonge and 'Mr. Lewis was adopted, on the mo tion of Sir S. Bignold, and the meeting then broke up in some confusion. A second " midnight meet ing" was afterwards held in one of the wards. The Liberals are displaying corresponding acti vity, and the same train which brought down the Conservative candidates carried also their oppo nents. The contest will be an exciting one. EXETER.—Mr. Alfred Seymour, the candidate for this city, in the room of Mr. Divett, has just issued his address, in which he expresses himself firmly attached to those liberal opinions which so triumphantly carried the Reform Act of 1832, and more lately carried the free trade measures. Though firmly attached to the Established Church, he is most anxious to see church rates abolished. He would desire to see a measure introduced to put a stop to such scandals as those which have occurred at St. George's-in-the-East. With regard to reform, he expresses approval of Lord J. Russell's bill, but would desire a clause by which that portion of the industrial population who live in lodgings should likewise have the benefit of the franchise. In refe rence to the ballot, he should have wished to see the working of the new Reform Bill and the Cor rupt Practices Bill before deciding, but he has come to the determination to support that measure at once. EAST SOMERSET.--Sir Henry Ainslie Hoare, Bart., of Stourhead House, will, it is said, contest the Eastern Division of Somersetshire in the Libe ral interest at the next general election. THE IRISH ELECTIONS. ---The writ for the Ros common election has been received by the High Sheriff. The daylnamed by him for the nomination of candidates is Monday, the 26th of Mareh, in the courthouse of Roscommon. Capt. Goff, accompanied by the Hon. R. E. King and others, canvassed the electors of Boyle on T uesday last, when, we are assured (says the _Roscommon Journal), the Liberals to a man refused to support him. Mr. Thomas M'Dermot and Mr. J. D. M'Dermot, on behalf of the O'Conor Don, canvassed the people of Boyle on Monday last, and w ere everywhere received with enthusiasm, and with cordial and sincere pro mises of support. In every part of the county, we have reason to believe, the canvass for the Don has been actually successful. He arrived in Dublin on Sunday from Rome, and has proceeded to Ros common. In Clare, Captain Charles White, a near relation of the unseated member, will oppose Mr. Calcutt. A sharp contest is expected. STATE OF TRIBE. LEEDS, March 20,—The cloth trade has under gone no material alteration since the last report, but still continues quiet for the period of the year. Transactions in ladies' mantle cloths and materials suitable for rifle corps uniforms have constituted the bulk of the business done for some weeks past, and for ordinary plain cloths there has been but little inquiry. There are, however, some signs of improvement in this respect, and from the attend ance of buyers in the town to-day and yesterday there is reason to anticipate that the trade in the warehouses this week will be larger than it has recently been. The manufacturing localities continue to manifest a lair amount of ac tivity. At the public cloth halls this morning a firm tone prevailei:, and a steady average Tuesday's business was transacted. The new French inventions in woollen machinery are at present occupying the attention of the Leeds Woollen Manufacturers and Merchants Association. One is for manufacturing a good inferior cloth, if such an expression may be allowed, at a. cheap rate, and the other, which is perhaps the more important, is to supersede the necessity of the use of spinning machinery in the preparation of the raw material for the process of weaving. M. Chevalier has been requested to make inquiries as to the capabilities of the former machine, and the association has ap pointed a deputation to practically test the merits of the other. - MANciiEsTER, 20th.--The market continues to show more firmness than was observable for some time previous to Friday last, when the improve ment in the cotton-market lea to less anxiety here. There is, however, no remarkable change in any department, except in goods suited for India and China. There are telegrams to hand from Calcutta up to the 28th of February announcing an improved demand and higher prices. It is also reported that these acconnts are confirmed by a telegram of much later date. The consequence has been a consider able business to-day in gocds for the East, and prices, which were last week rather drooping, have again become very firm. Printing-cloths continue rather weak, and 'T -cloths and long -cloths are still neglected; but in nearly all respectS the market for goods and yarns is, at least, as firm as at the end of last week, though very quiet, and in some branches perhaps less active than on Friday. Messrs. G. Fraser, Son, and Co., report as follows : There has been rather more business doing to day in the better makes of India shirtings at pre vious prices, and chiefly where early delivery could be secured." ROCIIDALE, 19 th. —Operations have not been upon a very large scale today in any branch of business. For wool there is a moderate demand, and prices are exceedingly firm. In flannels pur chases are made chiefly in small quantities, and prices have an upward tendency. The Yorkshire trade is rather quieter. Stocks are within a limited compass. There is some movement among the operatives for an advance of wages. A ROUS_EE EEPER ON TILE BUDGET: " A Housekeeping Woman," in a letter to a con temporary, says : " As we are supposed to receive compensation for income tax from the reduction in duties, it behoves us to insist that the benefit is not suffered to become P. mockery. The house-keeping classes are roughly concluded to be under obligation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer in common with the trading classes. It is not so. They are at the mercy of the tradespeople, equally at the mercy of preju dice, and in the condition at all events of depending upon competitive traders before the lowered taxa tion reaches: to them. In the course of the last fort night I have put the question to our tradespeople, flow much lower will you be enabled to charge after the treaty ?' and have invariably been an swered, ' There will be no difference.' Our sta tioner pleads the anticipatory advance on the part of the paper manufacturers ; a friendly brewer asserts that the abolition of the hop duty cannot possibly affect .beer beyond 6d. per firkin, which will ne cessar il y no t reach the consumer, since the great bulk of hops as a cargo checks the im porting of them, and the quantity of them received from abroad will ba little increased upon that de rived by our present trade. The silk mercer is al ready chuckling over his extra 15 per cent., and every one knows gloves are as dear in Paris as in London, and not likely soon to cover the horny hands which are to be so active in Mr. Gladstone 's village paper-mills. Wine is to be delivered 6d. per bottle lower, but that is for the advantage of those who can afford to use it. We have neither school, boarding-house, nor ' establishment' to bring us any income tax equivalent for cheap nutmegs or currants. So far to us housekeepers the budget promises to be a costly delusion. Neverth e l ess we are content to receive it on parliamentary sanc tion, for the sake of the impulse and enrichment of trade. I would desire to obviate, or, if that looks like romance, to dimini s h th e hardship of direct taxation' to struggling families like my own, living on the salary earned by the head of it of £3OO a year, and the extra help from the house rents the wife of such a man might be entitled to receive, from which rents the tax is de- ducted in a manner sufficiently oppressive, what ever Mr. Bright's clique may choose to profess. Families living on £l6O a year may be in a worse case, though not even, or at least not often, to the degree of convincing us thatpoor's-rate and income- tax — have a tendency to waif hand-in-hand. Com pensation for reducing 20s. to 19s. 2d. is, however, our object, and the precise amount of real hardship inflicted upon us is beside the question. You can help us, and I venture to require it of you. Give your readers a double column of figures, setting forth clearly the duty charged on each article pre vious to the budget, and opposite to it the duty as fixes by Mr. Gladstone. Trust to us to demand due reduction. Without this very useful knowledge every shopkeeper can with undetected impunity levy his own income tax on his helpless customers in flounces or cinnamon, supported by the agonising arguments dear to; the hearts of men [of business ; furnished with it we shall be not quite defenceless, except such of us as choose to be the victims of pre judice, admitting elsewhere the theory which so obtains in the tea trade as held by our family grocers,' who maintain glibly, to the discomfiture of lady buyers, that no reduction of duty can pos sibly cheapen 'superior' tea, consequently neither silks nor spices." The following appeared in a contera porary— Sir,—Whatever opinion we may foi 7m of the Em peror of the French as to what we are pleased to call his despotic rule, there can be no e :oubt as to the profound sagacity of the man, or as to his earnest desire to promote the material int( a's'sts of the people over whom he rules. In one resp rct I admire the man. lie is thoroughly national, s nd amid all his dreams of glory and dynastic gran dour, when he is ea Iled upon to negotiate, whether ii be a treaty of peace or a treaty of commerce, Lor.i s Napoleon never forgets Franco. Let me glance for a moment at t' respective gains of France and England br the i rceet treaty. France wants coals, and we theref ore allow her free access to our coalfields. France wants iron, and we admil ; her to a free partnership with us in our iron mines . France desires to sell us her wine, :and we there fore admit it at a nominal duty of 2s. :per gallon. France wishes to sell us silks and w e admit them free. Now to the other side of the act ount. England wishes to sell her textilt fabrics, and taxes them with a 30 per cent. import duty. England wishes to buy rags in the :French mar ket, and France responds by levying to £lO per ton as an export duty, being from 60 to 100 per cent. upon the value of the article. Referring back to the article coal, I in ay inform ,you that I have received intimation this nnorning of an advance of 10d. per ton in theprice of coal, mak ing the second advance of the same au ount since Christmas. This advance upon my co 'nsumption will be upwards of £l,OOO per annum.. Talk of the ld income tax It is, in comparison i with the effect of this treaty in its indirect influx tnces upon the price of coal and iron, a "fleabite." The immediate object of my writing t D you is to state that the concession of the French 'Emperor, which Lord John Russell announced front his place in the House of Commons, amid the chmrs of his auditors, turns out to be nothing. The absolute prohibition is to be withdirawn, and an export duty upon all qualities of 8, or pos sibly £lO, is to be levied upon French raps leaving the country. The lowest of these amounts will be e quivalent to 11d. per lb. upon paper ; in other words, the French paper will cost the maker Id. less than the English maker from the same materia L I was rejoiced to find, after I had closeel my last letter to you, that the Emperor had acceded to the wishes of our Government by abolishing thei prohibi tory laws as to the export of this material ; and, assuming that it was what it professed to be, a bonafide free interchange of rags and paper, I said, "all objections to the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as far as France was cuncerned, were removed, but that, in respect to all other countries who maintained an export duty on rags, the objection to a remission of the impost duty of Id. per pound on paper remained the same!. I was both gratified and surprised at the unex pected generosity of the French Emperor, seeing the effect which a free export of rags must have upon the French makers, and the unfair competi tion to which French paper would be subjected on arrival in England if our Government persisted in carrying out its abstract idea ofadmitting paper free from all other countries. Its operation would have been this :—French rags would have been shipped to England, and an immediate enhancement of the price in France would have been the consequence; but on their arrival in England the American agents would have pounced upon them, and carried them to the land of liberty and protective tariffs; and when the French paper made its appearance in this country, it would have been met by German paper, made from a lower priced rag, and thus ex cluded from the market for which the French nation had incurred the sacrifice of their material. All doubt upon the matter is now at an end. The Emperor either never intended to grant a free ex port, or, having discovered his error, he has taken the earliest opportunity of correeti - ag it ; and no one who has considered the subject, who is not carried away by abstract ideas to the exclusion of everything special or exceptional, can ques tion the propriety of the course which the Emperor has finally determined upon. I can conceive the Emperor of the French saying to the English Go vernment, " I have no objection to extend our com mercial relations, and for this purpose I am willing that W 3 should have a free interchange of rags and paper; but under your present and proposed laws the "thing is impossible. I have no objection to your buying rags here for your own exclusive use, but I will not find rags to supply America; and it is equally absurd on your part to hold out the pro spect of a market in England for French paper so long as you admit paper from other countries where, by their prohibitory duties, they maintain an abun dant supply of material at an artifically low price." It now remains to be seen whether the Government and the House of Commons will persist in closing their eyes to the inevitable consequences which must result to the paper trade of this country, if it is to be subjected to open competition on the one hand with the whole continent of Europe— the basis of their manufacture being from 30 to 50 per cent. cheaper than our own—and, on the other, an equally open competition with the Ameri cans for our own material, they by their protec tive tariff on the importation of paper being enabled to pay a higher price than we can afford. this injury is to be inflicted in order to carry out the free trade idea—a good and sound rule when rightly applied, but, like every other rule, it has its exceptions. If the free trade principle be rightly applied to all articles which are repro ducible at the will of the producer —upon which he gets a profit, and have therefore a Motive to produce all that is required—it cannot be true or rightly applied to articles limited or axed in their quantity. In the one case, demand will always produce supply ; in the other the only effect of de mand is to raise the price, without increasing the supply. In the one case there is a consistent sympathy, from mutual profit, between the producer and the consumer. In the case of the material for paper makers the reverse is the fact ; the producers of our material hare no profit, but a loss, in producing it ; therefore there is an entire absence of that sym pathetic action which is denominated the law of demand and supply. Since my letters appeared in your columns I have been inundated with letters pointing to hosts of fibres which are said to be suitable for paper making ; one gentleman has furnished me with a list of 46, which are to be found in various parts of the globe. Let me say again 'that there has never been a fibre tried that will make a paper at all equal to linen, flax, and cotton. We do not dens the pos siblity of making paper from these fibres ; there are few vegetables that may not be reduced and made to assume the appearance of paper—it is possible, as was suggested by one of your correspondents, that we could dissolve a mahogany dining table, and make it into paper—the first question is, can we make a good and useful article from these fibres, and the second and all-important one is, will it pay to do so ? People seem to think that there is some unac countable neglect, some perverse obstinacy on our part in not seeking out these things ; they are set forth as " genuine, sound, and strong fibres," i n comparison with rags , which are designated an " cfrete material." There are many considerations in connection with these new fibres of which the public are en tirely ignorant. As a rule, they will produce about half the quan tity of paper that a good sound rag will. If 10011). of rags will produce 701 b. of paper, the same weight of fibre will not produce more than 401 b. The famous Spanish grass, of 'which there were said to To such an one I have nothing to say; but if it be desirable to maintain in this country a trade, more than any other adapted to rural districts, and to furnish a means of employment in remote parts, where good and pure water can be obtained ; if as a trade we are not utterly valueless and unworthy of any consideration, it would be well to pause and reflect upon the statements herein laid down.-- Yours, &c., THOS. WRIGLEY. Bury, Lancashire, March 19. C1111.R(11-RATPS. The following report has been presented by the Select Committee of the Houk of Lords appointed to inquire into the present operation of the law and practice respecting the assessment and the levy of church-rates : " 1. That it appears from the evidence that ' lov the common law,that•is to say, by immemorial usage in this country, the parishioners are bound to re pair the church, and to provide everything that is necessary for the decent performance of divine ser vice,' and that for the attainment of these objects recourse has, from very ancient times, been had to a system of parochial assessment, which assessment is still maintained in the great majority of parishes throughout the country. " 2. That by the judgment of the House of Lords in the Braintree case the law has been declared to be, that the church-rate is only assessable on the ratepayers by the vote of the majority of the vestry, and it appears in evidence that for the neglect to vote a rate there is no penalty at common law. "3. That, therefore, in some places no rate is made, and lit some, though made, it is not enforced against those who refuse to pay. " 4. That where a church-rate has been refused, or has not been assessed, it has generally been at tributable to one or other of the following causes, viz. : Ist. The abuse of the rate in it s assessment for and application to improper objects, or in excessive charges. " 2d. The assessment of new parishes and dis ricts having churches of their own to the rate of :he mother church. " 3d. The unwillingness of churchwardens to propose a rate the collection of which might be rendered difficult or impossible by the uncertainty and inefficiency of the law. " 4th. Local causes of irritation unconnected with the rate. " sth. The opinion entertained against church rates by certain classes of Dissenters on religious or political grounds. " 5. That a great obstacle to the enforcement of a rate when made is, that a ratepayer summoned be fore the petty sessions for non-payment may then pro ceed to dispute the validity of the rate or his own liability (53(1 George 111., c. 127, s. 7); that there upon the justices must forbear to give judgment, and the churchwardens can only proceed in the Ecclesiastical Court. "6. That the entire abolition of the church-rate is opposed to the general feeling of members of the Church, is not universally called for by Dissenters of various denominations, and especially not by that large and influential body the Wesleyan Metho dists, and would, in the care of a great number of parishes be attended with serious and pre judicial consequences, by restricting the existing means for the repair and maintenance of the parish church, by greatly increasing the labour and re sponsibility of the clergyman, and otherwise ma terially impeding the ministrations of the church in those parishes. " 7. That, viewing the grounds of objection to the payment of church-rates, as well as the impe diments which exist to their collection, it is expe dient to alter the law in the following respects : " 1. That, for the future, persons desirous of being exempted from contributing to the church_ rate in any parish may g ive y earl y notic e to that effect to the chu rchwardens p rior to the meeting of any vestry for t he p ur p ose of ma king a church_ rate; and that such persons shall not be entitled to attend any.such vestry, or to vote upon the maki ng or application of such rate, or to ti t t i e ct cahsnerheuhrc' or seat appropriated to them in the c two h a i r i i i .ed •c te h ali' c ns la i l na i n n ay g ny the term of such exemption. ,‘ 2.

That the items for which a rate shall he made shall be definitely declared by law. " 4. That the ratepayers in any new parish or district shall be rateable for the pull ores of their own church and for no other. " 5. That there shall be the same powers for the recovery of church-rates as exist for the recovery of poor-rates, and in case of objection to the validity of the rate an appeal shall lie to the General Quar ter Sessions, and that the jurisdiction of the Eccle siastical Courts in such matters shall cease. " 8. That the principle of assessing the owner instead of the occupier to the church-rate is well deserving the serious consideration of Parliament in any future legislation on this subject. " And the committee have directed the minutes of evidence taken before them, together with an appendix, to be laid before your lordships. " Feb. 28, 1860." A SHIP'S CBE IV POISONED. About a fortnight ago the Prussian brig Henri c h Gustav, of Wolgest, C. H. Behrndt, master, arrived at Ramsey, Isle of Man, from Buenos Ayres, with a cargo of bones and animal charcoal. The voyage had been protracted by a continuance of exceedingly bad weather. Ramsey harbour has been for some time past utterly neglected, if not totally aban doned, by the commissioners. The Henrich Gustav, in hauling up to Mr. Gibson's wharf, got across one of the banks, and as she had no support in her cen tre, sand banks being fore and aft, with the river running under her centre, she strained, fell off, and became a total wreck. During the high spring tides the water flowed over her deck, and it became neces sary to remove all her stores on shore, where the captain and crew, consisting of eight individuals, were also berthed. On Friday night it became known that the captain's son, a fine promising young man, had just died of lockjaw, attended by cramp and violent pain in the stomach, and that the other portion of the crew were in a very dan gerous state, notNN;thstanding the utmost exertions of the medical men in attendance; and before morn ing three of them had died. On Saturday morning a coroner's inquest was held on the bodies of Carl Grahl, aged 24 ; Carl Kennies, sped 28; and Carl Behrndt (th e ca pt a i n ' s son), aged 17. The jury was summoned by Mr. T. Looney, coroner of Garff, and sworn and presided over by W. W. Christian, Esq., coroner-general of the Isle of Man. F. Tellett, Esq., high bailiff of Ramsey, Win. Callister, Esq., cairman of the justices, and a number of medical gentlemen, at tended. The Captain deposed that about two years ago he purchased the brig, in connection with the other owners at Hamburg, and that the can of poison now produced was then on board as part of the stores. He arrived at Ramsey about twelve or four teen days ago, sold his cargo, and had afterwards got his vessel wrecked. The can produced was taken ashore along with an earthenware jar which contained arrowroot and other articles. The arrow root in the jar had got exhausted, and the cook and men, believing that the article in the can was ar rowroot, supplied out of it what they were short for cooking supper. It was mixed with molasses and spiced with a little cinnamon. After the men were taken ill he tasted a little off the point of his finger, and he yet felt the effects of it in his breast. He was engaged elsewhere at the time, and thus he did not eat any of it. He believed all hip= men ate more or less of it, but his son took more than the others. Augustus Bulow, mate of the brig, said that on going to get his supper he was told by one of ale men to taste it first, as he had felt a burning sensa tion in his throat after taking a few spoonfuls. He only took about one spoonful. The captain's son took half a soup-plateful. He assisted the men up stairs after they were taken ill. Medical men were soon in attendance. He was himself very ill with pain in the stomach, &e. He was mate from February last, when the former mate was put ashore at Ramsgate. That mate had told the captain's son that there was some arrow root in a tin on board. The tin was not kept with the provisions ; it was in the port hole, but after the vessel was wrecked it was put with the provisions, as they believed it to be arrow root. It had been lying on board for the last two years, with the lid loose on it, and without any label. W. Steikmann—Had been , cook only when ashore after the wreck of the vessel. He had prepared the supper on the previous evening, and bad also par taken of it himself. (This witness was too weak to stand, and was handed a chair. He appeared to be suffering severely, and the medical gentleman stated that he was yet in danger.) He was the first who was taken ill, but had not taken so much as the others. The captain's son had brought the tin con taining the ingredient to him, as he had not enough to make the supper ; he added four tablespoonfuls of the stuff in the tin box or can to what arrowroot he bad in the jar; when boiled he mixed it up with molasses, and added a little cinnamon. The tin box or can was here examined, and contained about 14 lbs. of arsenic, having evidently at first contained about 28 lbs. The deponent had only tasted as it w as cooking to ascertain if it was properly done. Mr. R. E. Craine, surgeon, had seen the men when ill and the remedies applied, which were for arsenical poisoning. He believed that the deaths arose from taking arsenic into their stomachs. The death of the captain's son was the most rapid he had heard of, as only 20 minutes transpired be tween sitting down to his supper and his death. The jury at once gave in their verdict in accord ance with the evidence, that Carl Grahl, Carl Kennies, and Carl 13chrndt died from taking poison into their stomachs, which had been used in mistake for arrowroot, and no person had wilfully been accessory to their death. OLIVE OIL FROM NAPLES.--A despatch has been received from her Majesty's Minister at Naples, stating that the differential duties upon olive oil exported from the Neapolitan dominions, a notice respecting which was inserted in the " London Gazette" of the 16th inst., would be levied upon that article only when exported in vessels belonging to countries whose shipping is not placed by treaty stipulations upon an equality with the shipping of the Two Sicilies. THE VICARAGE OF ST. PANCEAS.—The Rev. W. W.

How is it that the Ameri cans , w h o are in a far greater strait for material than we are, I and who arc roaming over the whole world in search of rags—why do they not call in upon their near neighbours, the West Indies, and apply the plain fain and the banana trces to their own use, they being, it is said, full of fibre, and applicable to paper making ? No one gill charge our cousins across the Atlantic with v. -ant of energy, or want of skill, in converting to their own use whatever is a v7ilable. Ask Jonathan the questicn, and he will reply, " I guess it won't pay." It seems to be thought that the repeal of the paper duty and the abolution of the ld. import duty stand in the relation of cause and effect; why cannot understand. When the duty was reduced from 3d. to Ixd. the penny was retained avowedly as a compensation for the artificial cheapness of material on the Con tinent, caused by their prohibitory tax upon ex ports. If it were necessary then, it is equally Ise cessary now, unless it be the deliberate intention of the Legislature to destroy us as a trade. I believe that the majority of those who are giving their support to the Minister, in his proposal to abolish the id. import duty, are doing so under the belief that the relief from the paper ditty will tend to some economy in manufacture. This is a great mistake. The duty did not in any degree interfere with the economy of manufacture, nor is thore one word of truth in the statement that it prca-ented experiments, or the use of any material whatever. It is simply a nuisance, but by its repeal, I shall not be benefited in actual cost £5O per ye ar, and I know of no means that will be available to reduce the cost of manufacture, when the duty is. repealed, that are not now completely within my f;r asp. Others there are who talk about new materials as though the repeal of the duty would b ave some magical influence in bringing them in.-; but the great bulk of those who are supporting e Govern ment in their present intention of abolishing the import duty are following what they con ceive to be the unalterable laws of free trade, and though they admit that our case seems a hard one, to be called ox to compete with a foreign manufacture the material of which is 50 per cent. cheaptir than our own, and at the same time to suffer from the com petition of the American in our own market for our own material, he being protected again st all com petition by a 30 per cent. import duty, yet, say they, "Something will turn up ; you will get on somehow." It is with the view of pleating the facts of the case, and the inevitable tendencies of the proposed remission before these gentlemen, that I have troubled you at this length. I desire that they should know the truth, that they should be fully aware of the consequences of their own acts. It may be that some hardened stoic, some philo sophic Liberal, Ns:11 say—Perish the paper trade rather than maintain that which has the appear ance of protection, no matter what may be the pecu liar or exceptional nature of the case. .tohett il.s., Salt Sian due. rill@ )ril 4 mil 12 tr. 21. nil 3 Li.. 20 tr. 28 U. 20 tr. - tr. !20 Lr. 2$ ,r . !.*._' 5 Lr. 19 ,ril 5 x. 21 .r. 20 rdue r. 21 ill 1 0 just post gout ma w tO rH.
