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

To those who had followed with anxiety the complex movements of our troops in Oude' there was nothing improbable 'in the. announcement. Lord Clyde had concentrated the principal corps of his army at various points east of Lucknow. His own head-quarters were in the capital. Hope Gime; Taylor, Fischer were at Fyzabad, while north and west of Lucknow the only forces at the disposal of Lord Clyde were Troup's brigade, ad vancing across the Goomtee, towards Khyrabad, and "Brigadier Barker's still lingering at Bemgunge, and waiting for the completion of a bridge. There was no corps of reserve in rear of the line of the Goomtee, and Smitleela, which appeared a strategic point'of the greatest importance, was under civil administration, but without a garrison. The line of the Goomtee for 70 miles between Lucknow and 'Benigunge was completely unguarded. The few, however, who were experienced , enough to feel anxiety for Lord Clyde's strategical movements appeared to share in a belief that the rebels north and east Of the Goomtee were too dispirited to ven ture a final throw in the game of rebellion, or to retrieve their po - sition by changing the scene of operations from Oude to Central India. The very nature of Lord Clyde's movements, .however, sug gested such an effort to those at least among the disaffected in Oude who'had no ties of home or coutitrybinding them to the soil. The corps operat ing between Lucknow and the Goomtee were neces sarily driving the most reSolute rebels westward, and a 'gathering of these at an unguarded 'point of our line seemed absolutely to foreshadow the event which ensued. The most fanatic of the Mussulmans in the rebel cause assembled together under' the leadership'of Feroze Shah, and retired' from Oude, leaving the Nana to vegetate, as he had done for months, in the fort of Churda, near Baraitch. It was not, however, till some days after the passage of the Ganges by Feroze Shah that the Naga was ascertained to have taken no part in the move ments, which I now proceed to narrate. You have not failed to notice that while on the south of Oude, especially in the Biaswarra districts,' the rebellion has been kept alive by the talookdars or great land owners, in the north the leaders were mere adven turers, —Khan Ali Khan, late subandar in the East India Company's service; Feroze Shah, the last prince of the house of Delhi ; Fuzi Hug, the Moulvie of Delhi ; and host of minor fanatics, syceesi and subalterns in the service of the late Court of Lucknow. Feroze Shah, whose head quarters were at Seetapore for many months, had also rallied to his standard Sukkur Shah, a district officer in the pay of the. Begum, who incurred the displeasure of the Princess of Oude by rapacious exactions in the district of Sundeela, and by with holding contributions due to the exhausted exche quer of Boowree. On the Ist of December Brigadier Troup, who had already beaten Feroze Shah on the 19th of November, met him again in the neighbourhood of Biswa, where he occupied an advantageous position. The rebels endeavoured, as usual, to outflank us with their numerous cavalry, but a vigorous charge from our horse and the crushing effect of the artil lery produced the usual result, and Feroze Shah re tired. Rallying the whole of the Mussulman chiefs of those parts, he then conceived and executed the bold movement of retiring to the Ganges. A direct road lay open to him southwards through Sundeela. He had to ford two small rivers, to cross the Goomtee, avoid the column under Barker north of him, pass by Sundeela, and cross the Ganges. All this he did successfully in six days, and on the even ing of the 6th of December he encamped on the Doab, within 12 miles of Kunnonj. From the north, as was proved by the event, he had little to fear. Brigadier Showers ' 'who pursued him from Agra, was too late ; but Brigadier Herbert, from Cawnpore, was more successful. There was also a small detachment at Etawah, commanded by a most indefatigable magistrate, Mr. Hume. That gen tleman, having under his orders about 400 Etawah Horse, started on the 6th in the direction of Bela. On the 7th he learnt that Bela had been plundered, and that Feroze Shah was besieging Hurchundpore, the fort of a friendly zemindar, situate near the banks of the Ahmee, a tributary of the Urrund Nuddee. He advanced towards Hur chundpore on the morning of the Bth, and attacked Feroze Shah with great vigour. It was a bold enterprise. Audaces fortunes juvat. The motto unhappily was not realised. Lieutenant Doyle and several Sowars were killed, and Mr. Hume retired into Hurchundpore, while Feroze Shah pursued his march towards Puhpoond. and Ooriyah. Already Brigadier Percy Herbert was advancing towards the latter point from Cawnpore. He entered Ooriyah on the 10th inst., just after the rebels had left it. Lieutenant Angelo, thrown forward in pur suit, caught up their rear 11 miles distant, killed some men, and took the only small gun (zumbooruk) that Feroze Shah could boast of. On the 11th the pursuit continued from Ooriyah northward along the left bank of the Jumna, but the main body of the rebels had crossed the river before Lieutenant Angelo, with the Towana Horse, came up. A few men, however, were killed, and ,several horses, camels, and some baggage captured. The quick sands, which render the Jumna below Etawah par ticularly dangerous, prevented Brigadier Herbert from attempting the passage. The rebels accordingly proceeded across the tongue of land formed above the junction of the Jumna and Chumbul, crossed the latter river at Palee, the Sind at Labor, and made their way across country due west towards Dutteah and Runnode. The nearest force at our command was that of Sir Robert Napier, at Gwalior. That officer received intelligence of Feroze Shah's approach on the 13th. ' Some excitement was cre ated by itlin Gwalior, and a small detachment of troops was thrown into the city. Sir Robert in person assembled the remainder, and with a column of 300 men, including portions of the 14th Light Dragoons and 71st Highlanders, marched almost due south 140 miles to Runnode, where he arrived before the enemy on the morning of the 17th. A little after dawn Feroze Shah was seen advanc- ing from the eastward towards Runnode, and his force was completely surprised by a charge from the 14th Dragoons, who is2ued unexpectedly from an orchard and dispersed them. Feroze Shah, how ever, soon rallied his men, and advanced towards the Mhow and Goona roads. Avoidinc , Colonel Scudamore's brigade, moved from Seepree to Amora to cut him off, he crossed the road and is now on his way to Kotah, where he hopes to meet Tantia Topee. Our knowledge of his intention to reach that point is derived from the reports of spies cap tured after the action of Biswa in Oude. Whether ,he will ever join Tantia Topee is doubtful. That chief, it is true, has shown a determination to enter Rajpootana again, but he will require more than his usual energy to evade the numerous detach ments sent out against him from Baroda, Nusseer abad, Neemuch, and Mhow. In my last letter, after describing the action of Chota Oodeypore, I informed you that Tantia Topee had gone to the north-east of Baroda. It was then made evident that he had no intention of trying his fortune in Guzerat. On the sth of December he was past Dohud, at Simree, and on the road to Banswarra. The Bheels, who are out in this quar- ter, instead of aiding him, seem to have been anxious to secure some of his wealth. They broke up the roads before him, thinking to impede his progress, but with cavalry, elephants, and camels only, Tantia, does not care for roads, and the only result produced by the Bheels was to retard the movements of our columns. On the 10th Tantia Topee, Banswarra, still flying north, entered where he took a day's rest, and on the 11th, frightened by the approach of a brigade under Col. Somerset from Rutlam, he proceeded to Soloomber, an isolated place encircled by hills in the heart of the Aravulli range. Fears were entertained at one moment for the safety of Oodeypore, and measures were taken to make it safe. On the 12th a brigade marched from Neemuch to the westward. On thel4th another brigade left Nusseerabad, and General Michel, who had taken some rest at Mhow, advanced thence with his force, Tapp's force was also thrown forward from the Taptee towards Oodeypore. Upwards of 1,500 camels were ordered to be placed at the disposal of these brigades, for use in sharp pursuits. During this time Capt. Morter, with some cavalry, hung on Tantia's rear, and marched so fast that when last . l heard of him, he was (December 17) at Korade, east of Oodeypore. As for Tantia, the latest news I have obtained, places him at Duriabad, 18 miles west of Pertaub ghur, on the 18th. Captain Hutchinson has tele graphed from Pertaubghur that there are three roads from Durriabad—one to Mungara, one to Chota Sadree, the third to Pertaubghur. It was expected that Tantia would choose the latter, on which he will b e run i n t o the o pen from the ee much direction. The attempts hitherto fruitlessly made to communicate the Royal Proclamation to the men in his camp have at last been successful, and good results are expected in consequence. I have before me a paper which is the declaration of a Borah (Mussuhnan) caught by Tautia at Raj ghur on the 3d of December. He was questioned by that chief in the presence of the Rao, and as sured of his safety. Tantia is described by him as a short, stout, dark man, wearing a dusky coloured cloth coat, a white handkerchief round his head instead of a priggree or turban, dark-coloured pan taloons made of nzushroo padded with cotton. The Rao is a short man of fair complexion, with a dark coloured handkerchief round - his head, gold orna ments on his wrists, wearing a short padded jacket, of dark colour, and pantaloons similar to Tantia's. The force accompanying the chiefs were mostly Mahomedans, but there were a few Poorbeahs also, the latter mostly without horses. The Mussulmans all seemed anxious to give up the game, saying that if assured of their lives they would,illingly give up their plunder and surrender. It is easy to conceive what effect the Proclamation must have upon such men. There is now little fear of what our neighbours call un retour offensif from Tantia Topee towards the Taptee, but if such an event were to happen there are ample forces at hand to put it down. The Ahmednuggur brigade is at Seerpore, and the Jaul nah Field Force .14 miles from Khull, on the Ner budda. Sir Hugh Rose, who was lately at Bourhan pore, is at present at Mhow. He has intrusted the command of the Taptee, from Bourhanpore 150 miles west, to Col.. Warre, of the 57th, whose regi ment is at present divided, part at Seerpore, part at Doolia, and part at .Malligaum. Sir Hugh Rose was called to Mhow by the mutterings of a poli tical storm at Indore, which was weathered with out bloodshed by the energy of Sir Robert Hamil ton. This distinguished " Political," lam sorry to say, leaves us early next year. To him we owe much of the quiet which lals reigned undisturbed so long in .the States a Holkar and Bhopal. Gwalior and the surrounding country are still dis quieted by rebels. General Whitlock has been forced to concentrate his troops towards Nagode to destroy a gathering of rebels, the offscourings of the band lately separated from the Nawab of Banda. Another force is to be assembled at Gwalior to put down a gang of insurgents at no great distance, who hold a fort not to be attacked without breach ing artillery. The Nagpore districts and Berar are disturbed by the rebels whom I have described as endeavouring to force the passage of the Nerbudda above Hosunabad. In spite of all efforts, 2,500 of these got over into the Ellichpore districts, where they are only kept in . order, not put down, by Brigadier Bill's Hyderabad Contingent, 4,000 strong, at Hewerkair, detachments under Captain Shakespear at Mooltye, and under Capt. Prescott at Shawulmaida. The rebels of those parts, in con junction with the Rohillas of the Nizam's frontier, are yet likely to give considerable trouble. I have learnt nothing of the column which marched from Secunderabad, but it is stated that Brigadier Spot tiswoode's column has safely arrived at the Nizam's capital from Bellary. The natural order of my narrative has taken me far away from Oude. I now revert to the events in that portion of our empire, especially with refer ence to those events which cannot have come under the view of your own correspondent, or which are of so recent a date as not to be within your reach by means of his letters. After the action at Bis wash the brigades of Troup and Barber united on the 3d of December, and proceeded to assist Lord Clyde's combined movement for the reduction of the Baraitch district. At the latest dates the joint column was on the banks of the Chowka, above Goorbux Sing's fort of Bhitowlee and only sepa rated from it by the stream. Lord Clyde, with the headquarters, proceeded from Lucknew to Beyram Ghaut, on the Gogra, just below the fork of the Chowka, and Sir Hope Grant held 'Gonda, twenty miles to the eastward, after an action in which Dabee Buksh was worsted and deprived of , all his guns. I have no direct intelligence of the reduction of Bhitowlee, but I presume that it has been reduced from the fact that on the 21st of December Lord Clyde, with the headquarter camp, 4 was at Baraitch. He had completely surrounded the Begum's force. The Begum herself had sent in to sue for terms. Numbers of sepoys flying from our columns had crossed the frontier into Nepaul, where they were surrounded by the troops of Jung Bahadoor. Nana Sahib, forced to a precipitate flight from Churda, 30 miles north of Baraitch, had fled to a jungle fort north-west of that place. Such in substance is the news from Oude, which shows that the werk of pacification there is well nigh complete. In Bekar, though Ummur Sing, Seedha Sing, Hurkissen Sing are still at Jarge, their followers have all abandoned them. Lord Elphinstone is at Bombay ; Sir Henry Somerset still at Poona; Lord Harris has returned to Madras.

J. Weeks, with the heavy portion of the East India and China mails, in-char.-0 of Lieut. Gardener, R.N., Admiralty agent, arrived at South ampton yesterday morning. She left. Alexandria Jan. 6, Malta the 11th, and Gibraltar the 15th. During the whole of the voyage out the Indus ex perienced very bad weather, and also homeward as far as Malta. A strong easterly gale was hlowing when she left Malta, which continued for a couple of days, after which she had fine weather ; south westerly winds across the Bay of Ushant, and north-westerly up Channel. The number of passengers brought by the Indis was 75. On freight she had £12,116 in specie ; five boxes of jewellery, value £5,000 ; a box of diamonds, value £5OO ; precious stones, value £7;700 ; garnets, value £1,050 ; a case of specimens, 1,980 bales and 90 'cases of silk, a box of Delhi curiosities, one ease of cigars, and 90. packages of sundries. At Alexandria were the United States' frigate Macedonian, and the usual Egyptian squadron. Her Majesty's ships Marlborough, Centurion, Conqueror, Swallow, Hibernia, Caradoc, Lapwing, Tartarus, Recruit, and Boxer were at Malta on the 11th. The weather had been very bad at Malta, and several vessels were wrecked in the harbour on the 10th, in consequence of the strong north easterly gales which prevailed, with a heavy sea. At Gibraltar were her Majesty's ship, Vulture, and the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Tagus. The Vulture and also the Austrian frigate Arch duke Frederick, had each lost an anchor and cable, owing to heavy winds. The Indus spoke the following steamers of the company's fleet during the homeward passage : The Behar, on the Bth, and the Euxine on the 9th, between Alexandria and Malta; the Orissa on the 16th, off Cape St. Vincent ; and the Sultan on the 19th, off Usliant: The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ceylon, which left Southampt on on th e 6th inst. with the India and China mails, arrived at Gibraltar on the 11th, at 8 30 p.m., and proceeded for Malta and Alexandria the same night. The Tagus with the Peninsular mails of the 7th, arrived in the Bay on the 14th. Her Majesty's steam troopship Himalaya, com mander Seccombe, seven days from Portsmouth and four days from Queenstown, arrived on the 13th, with detachments of different regiments for Gib raltar and Malta. She left for Malta at noon on the 14th. The following outward bound British merchant steamers had arrived at Gibraltar :—Jan. Gth, the Crimean, Captain Wakeham, from Liverpool, with general cargo for Gibraltar, Genoa, and Leghorn ; 7th, the Christina, Captain Mansfield, from Liver pool, with general cargo for Malta and Alexan dria •, 13th, the Peninsula, Captain White, from London, with general cargo for Gibraltar and Cadiz ; same day, the Meander, Captain M'Micken, from Liverpool, with general cargo for Palermo, &c. ; 14th, the Pactolus, Captain Mills, from Li verpool, with general cargo for Gibraltar, Malta, aryl Alexandria. _ _ The -Itoyal Victoria Yacht Club schooner Clay. more, 11 days from Southampton, arrived at Gib raltar on. the Bth. She encountered a severe gale `off the Lizard, and was obliged to lie-to for 16 hours. In the Bay of Biscay she experienced fine weather and calms, and was off Cape St. Vincent on the 3d, where she was becalmed for several hours among a fleet of more than 70 sail. The Claymore then encountered strong gales from the eastward, against -which she bat up to Gibraltar, having been obliged to take shelter under Cape Spartel and in Tarifa Bay. She pro ceeded to Malaga on the 14th. The British brig Hartlepool, Capt. W. Compton, from Alexandria, with wheat for Falmouth, put into Gibraltar Bay on the 6th inst. to laud Capt. Gibert and crew, 11 in number, of the French bark Ceres, of Dunkirk. At 2 p.m. on the 4th, Cape de Gatt bearing W. by N.,_ distant 6 leagues, observing a bark in distress, Capt. Compton bore down to her, and finding she was in a sinking state, took off the crew, who were in a Tory exhausted condition from continued pumping. The bark, which was laden with sulphur, from Girgenti for Dunkirk, was seen to founder shortly after the crew were got on board the Hartlepool. The Frenchmen saved nothing but what they stood in. Capt. Gibert expressed feelings of gratitude to Capt. Compton for the kind ness with which he and his crew were treated on board the Hartlepool. They were taken charge of by the French Consul, and have been forwarded to their respective homes as opportunity offered. The British ship Egyptian Witch, Capt. J. G. Chapman, which was towed into Cadiz on the 14th Nov. last, having been completely dismasted during the severe gales prevalent at that time, had been towed to Gibraltar for repairs. She is laden with machinery and coals for Alexandria. The Indus is appointed to take out the next India and China mails, on the 4th of February. A WONDERFUL VALLEY. A correspondent in a - contemporary says : During a recent tour in California I paid a visit to a valley which, in scenic loveliness and grandeur is, as far as I can learn, quite unrivalled, and as I find upon inquiry that even its name is almost en tirely unknown in this country, I thought a suc cinct account of its wonders might not be without interest to your readers. Some years since, when a fierce border warfare was raging between the Californians and the Indians all along the range of Sierra Nevada, the inhabit ants of Mariposas county, who had formed them selves into a battalion for mutual protection, were much annoyed by heavy losses of cattle, which the Indians managed to secrete in some part of the mountains, so well concealed as for months to com pletely baffle the most strenuous efforts of their pursuers. At last they were so much enraged by these repeated thefts, that they determined to solve the mystery ; but it waS not till about 1850 that a company of these backwoodsmen at last came upon the valley of which I am about to speak, and which had proved so effectual a cache for the "stealings" of the Indians. _ _ _ The Yosemite (Bear) Valley is situated in the beautiful range of the Sierra Nevada, about 240 miles east from San Francisco and about 45 miles from the nearest village, and. the road to it lies through an almost untouched pine forest, the noble trees of which, towering to an average height of 250 feet, covered with thick festoons of delicate lichen, form a delightful shelter from the noonday heat (which here rises to 120 deg. in the shade.) After a weary ride amid these lonely wild, the traveller suddenly emerges from the forest, and. finds himself on the brink of a tremendous precipice in full view of the Yosemite Valley, lying 3,500 feet below him. The valley is 12 miles long, and about a mile and a-half wide, and is, in fact, a great chasm .shut in on both sides by granite rocks, which average in height 3,500 feet. These rocks are on the north side quite perpendicular, and present an unbroken face, while on the south they are jagged and dis torted, having in consequence a most picturesque appearance. The most notable rocks in the valley are Totochanula, 3,600 feet, Loyd, 3,200, the North Dome, 3,500, and Tesaack, according to the Indian legend, the Queen of the Valley, which exactly resembles the vertical section of a dome, is as upright as a wall, and 4,884 feet high. These rocks are all solid granite. Over these walls of stone fall several streams (there are eight as far as the valley has been explored), forming waterfalls, which for height and beauty stand unrivalled. The most remarkable of these, the Yosemite Fall, comes into the valley on the north side and falls at one leap 2,355 feet. Over this in the spring there is a very h e avy discharge of water. Another, the Nevada Fall, over which the main stream of the Merced river tumbles, makes a descent of 1,285 feet, and immediately another of 780 feet. The smallest fall in the valley is upwards of 600 feet high. All these falls are worthy of being descanted upon at length, but I am unwilling to trespass upon your space, except for the bare statement of facts. The bottom of the valley is filled with a noble pine forest, as yet untouched by man, and, close at the foot of the immense Tesaack, there nestles a lovely little lake, the transparent waters of which, after passing through the stony portal of. he valley, run down towards the great plains of the San Joaquin, and soon become defiled with the mud from the myriads of rockers established on its banks by miners in search of the precious metal with which its bed is impregnated. One or two small shanties were the only dwell ings in the valley when I was there last August, and but few white .people have as yet visited it, though it is now very justly beginning to be recog nised as one of the most remarkable scenes in the world. I wish to mention that near the road to this val ley.l visited a grove of the far-famed Welling tomas, or mammoth cypresses, of which there are about 500 interspersed among numerous others less A public meeting was held at Pudsey, near Leeds, on Wednesday night, to take into consideration the subject of Parliamentary Reform, and consider the question of Pudsey and the neighbourhood being made an electoral district to send a member to Parliament. Mr. G. Hinings was called to the chair. There was a numerous attendance. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the meeting, said that the first subject for their consideration was the claim . of Pudsey to be represented in Parliament. That claim might excite a smile on the face of some, but looking at the population and industry of the district, he thought it was fair and just. (Hear.) Their population, according to the last census, was 11,600, and he' thought they . had a strong claim to be represented ; but they were modest, and proposed to take in the parish of Cal verley, which had a population of 24,000, and this would make their claim still stronger. (Hear.) The next subject was the necessity of reform. Many persons considered at the time of the passing of the Reform Bill that the franchise might safely have been extended ; and looking at the progress which had been made since that time, they Must be satis fied that the franchise ought now to be extended to the masses of the people. But. it .was urged against the extension of the franchise so as to in clude all ratepayers, that in the lowest class of rate payers there was not that intelligence which ought to be found amongst persons who- sought to exercise the suffrage. There was a notion also .that identity .of opinion was to be inferred from similarity of rating, but they might depend upon it that there was as great a diversity of opinion amongst the £5 cottagers as amongst other classes of society, and in any election that class would display the same feel ings and enthusiasm as' were to be found amongst the classes above them. (Hear.) Not only, how ever, did the objectors commit this error, but their ' ti midity led them to make reflections on the working classes, which they did not deserve. He believed, however, that this was a groundless fear, and that the working classes would exercise the vote as honestly ci the £lO householders. (Hear, hear.) They would have observed that Mr. Bright proposed to reduce the county franchise to £lO, whilst he would'' make the franchise in boroughs a rating one • but such an arrangement would be very unfair to places like Pudsey, because the population of a district like this was just as well qualified to vote as the rate payers in boroughs. (Hear.) Nay, he believed even more so than in densely populated boroughs. (Hear.) With reference to the qualification of persons in this district, he might state that he had obtained a return of the members of the religious societies in the township, and he found that out of 92 members there were only 16 voters, and that if Mr. Bright's scheme was adopted there would only be two more. For himself, he thought that all these men would exercise the suffrage honestly. Much had been said about education as a necessary qualifica tion for the suffrage ; but he did not think such was the case, for there were many persons thoroughly up to themark in politics who were not up to the mark in arithmetic or science. (Hear, hear.) Expressing his conviction that an extension of the franchise would promote national order and prosperity, he concluded by calling upon The Rev. J. MARSDEN, who moved the first reso lution—" That in the opinion of this meeting a large measure of reform is absolutely required,' which he enforced by an able speech. Mr. SWANN seconded the motion, which was carried. The Rev. J. L. HAIGH moved the second resolu tion :—" That the franchise, together with the pro_ tection of the ballot, be extended to all persons of full age and sane mind, not convicted of crime, who are rated to the relief of the poor." If, however, he could not obtain, all he wanted, he would take as much as he could get, in the hope that it would afterwards lead to more. (Hear, bear.) He was prepared to accept a rating suffrage, meaning by that all persons liable to pay rates, whether under the operation of the Small Tenements Act or not. (Hear.) . With that extension of the franchise they must have the protection of the ballot. (Hear.) Mr. J. WIIITEIIEAD seconded the motion. He spoke, as he said he had voted at Bradford, against Mr. liright'o prnpoeal fn harm a £lO franchise in counties and a rating franchisein boroughs, and re ferred to their own township, where one side of the road was in the borough of Leeds and the other in the West Riding, as an illustration of the injustice of such a scheme. Mr. SWANN moved as an amendment :—" That the franchise be extended to all persons of age, not legally incapacited—in boroughs, to all persons rated to the poor, and in the counties to £lO occupiers." Mr. S. HARGREAVES seconded the amendment, which was lost by a large majority. After some remarks by Mr. Joseph Walker, in explanation of Mr. Bright's views on the question of incorporating populations like that of Pudsey in electoral districts, the motion was put and carried. Several other speakers addressed the meeting, and resolutions were passed in favour of a more equal distribution of seats, and triennial parlia ments. Petitions to parliament having been adopted, an association was formed, and the proceedings ter minated. MEETING AT CARDIFF. A very respectable and enthusiastic meeting in favour of a reform in parliament, was held at Car diff or. Tuesday evening. The Town Hall was densely crowded, The chair was occupied by John Batchelor, Esq., a member of the Town Council. Letters were read from the county members ex pressing regret at not being able to attend. Col. Stuart, M.P. for the borough, was stated to be on the continent. Mr. J. N. CARNE, of Dimlands Castle, moved the first resolution, stating that while he was strongly in favour of manhood suffrage, he was willing to waive his own views in favour of those enunciated by Mr. Bright in his Bradford speech. At the same time he considered, that with regard to Car diff, which he proposed should continue to send one member only, Mr. Bright had been led into error by the census of 1851. The population of Cardiff had siice that period increased so much as to be double in amount, if the suburbs of Roath and Canton were included. Subsequently a committee was appointed to communicate with Mr. Bright on this point. The resolution, which adopted the alterations in the franchise proposed by Mr. Bright, was seconded by Mr C. TIIOMPSON, and unanimously agreed to. Mr. E. A. FREEMAN moved a resolution affirming the necessity of adopting the ballot and a re-distri bution of seats, supporting his views by a very argumentative speech. The resolution was seconded by Mr. ENSOR, solicitor, and carried with only one dissentient. Mr. JOHN BIRD, solicitor, in a brief but effective speech, proposed the appointment of a committee to watch the progress of all the proposed reform bills, which was seconded by Dr. Edwards, and unani mously agreed to. Other addresses were delivered, after which the Rev. A. TILLY moved a vote of confidence in Mr. Bright, which was seconded by the Rev. N. THOMAS, and carried without opposition. A GAMEKEEPER SHOT BY A POACHER.—On Sunday morning, about 3 o'clock, three keepers in the ser vice of the Marquis of Ailsa encountered two poachers, named Ross and Withers, belonging to Maybole, on the farm of Park, between Kirkoswald and Turnberry. As the keepers were some distance from each other, one of them, named Jones, who was in advance, came first on the poachers. He had a dog on the string, and was advancing in order to seize them. When within a few yards, both the poachers deliberately, and without provocation, levelled their guns and fired—the one aiming at the dog, the other at Jones. Each shot took fatal effect. Jones was shot through the heart. When he received the deadly dis charge, he leaped up, exclaiming " Oh!" and then fell life less. Another of the keepers, named Nicholson, coming up, seized Withers, who said, " I'm no caring. I only shot the dog ; but Ross shot the man." Pursuit was given as soon as possible ; and two policemen were set to watch the house of Ross, if possible to know when he entered. As daylight approached, the watch was given up. On en tering Ross's house they found him in, and his boots cleanly brushed. He denies all knowledge of the affair. One of his boots was taken back to the scene of the tragedy, and it corresponds exactly with the footprints. Jones, the keeper, who was shot, has left a wife and three or four of a family. The two poachers were brought down to Ayr and lodged in gaol. Ross is known as a notorious poacher. The sad event has created a great sensation in the district. —Glasgow Bulletin. SNOW STORM IN CONSTANTINA.—The Algiers journals state that in the night of the Ist and up to mid-day of the 2d, a heavy fall of snow took place at Constantina. At eight o'clock in the morning of the latter day it was about three inches thick, but at noon it began to melt. They add that a battalion of the 76th regiment, on the march from Bona to Constantino., was caught in a snow storm, en suffered greatly ; also that, from falls of snow, the r oad to the Setif was almost impracticable, and that to Philippe vine was in a pitiable state. 1 Another frightful murder has been committed in Paris. An elderly, lady _of property, Mine,_G---, of 109, Boulevard Beaumarchais, left home on Monday . morning after breakfast, and told, her servant.that 'she should not return until .ten at night. On returning, she was surprised to find that the servant, ,Itlarguerite L-- . ---, aged thirty :throe, was not - Waiting to' receive her,• and still more so to see that the cloth was laid in the dining ' room, and the things not removed. She went to the woman's room, and there to her horror, found her lying dressed on the bed, quite dead, bathed in blood, and with numerous wounds inflicted by a knife in different parts of her person. She had evidently been .murdered, and the. murderer. in derision, had placed on her breast a crucifix, clumsily made, which she had brought from the country, and had kept at the head of her bed. Madame G cried, out in terror, and some per sons having come : in, the 'commissary of polic6 of the district was sent for. He found that . the drawers and closets bad been broken open, and that their content,Q, which were stained with blood, had been ransacked; but what was singular was, that nothing, not even the plate and jewellery, of which there was a considerable quantity, had been stolen. On the day before Mine. G had received, in money and securities, at the Bourse, the sum of 60,000 francs, and she • had placed it in a small box. The sum was still in the box, , and the box had not been touched. It wits assumed that the object of the murderer had been to steal "'the 60,000 francs, and that he had sought for them in the drawers and closets, but had not examined the box, either on account of its insignificant ap• pearance or of his having been interrupted by a rin b o. of the bell at the outer door. The porter recollected perfectly well having seen the girl. about seven o'clock in the evening, and afterwards, having occa sion .to speak to her, he went upstairs and rang-, but received no answer. It was that ring vvhie/1 pro bably disturbed the murderer in his search:,,'ies() circumstances having been communicated I to the detective police they set to work to diseqyer 4e al,mur derer. They learned that the girl had:',ll . in the habit of receiving, unknown to her ' Tess, the visits of a journeyman hatter of the time boule vard. This man was sought for, and was found to be in the - employment of a man in the Rue du Temple. •He was soon arrested, and on searching his lodgings, a great coat stained with- blood was found. He energetically denied his guil i t„ and on being confronted with the dead bocljeoldly ex ' claimed, " What ! that is poor Marg rite !" The knife with which the deed was perpati-ated has not been found. . , It appears from investigation that it was - not in the evening, as at first supposed, that the crime was committed, but at about one o'clock, just; after Madame Garnot, the victim's mistress, had left' home after breakfast: This appears clear,not only from the breakfast things having been found still on the table, but from the meal the girl had taken being undigested in her stomach. It is clear also from the fact that shortly before two o'clock a lady in the house, an acquaintance of Middle Garnot, rang at the door, but received no answer, though it appeared to' her that she heard some one moving softly about inside. In addition to the seizure of a coat stained with blood, other circumstances tending to prove the guilt of the journeyman hatter, now in custody, have been brought to light. Not only had he carried on an intrigue with the girl and been accus tomed to visit her in her mistress's absence, but he had been seen hanging about the house shortly before the murder must have been committed, waiting no doubt for the mistress to go away. On the day of the murder he did not go to work at all, neither at night did he return to his lodgings, but hired a room in a lodging-house near the Hotel de Ville ; and he could not give any explanation of those circumstances. In the lodging-house, more over, he would not allow himself to be shown to a room, but said that he could find his way himself, a proof that he did not wish to be seen too closely p• and before he retired to rest he was heard washing his shoes. The next morning he returned to work, and when, a few hours after, the police having arrived to arrest him, he was told that some one was asking for him, he turned very pale, and ex claimed in agitation, " Adieu, my friends ! adieu for ever !" He was asked what he meant by such strange language, but he gave no answer, When the police told him he was arrested, he did not even ask why, and he replied with embarrassment to the questions put to him. Lastly, there were scratches on his hand and spots of blood on his clothes. Notwithstanding all these circumstances, the man continues to protest his innocence. The house in which the murder was committed is occu pied by several persons engaged in trade, so that it was easy for him to enter and leave unobserved by the concierge. The knife with which he per petrated the murder has not yet been discovered , hut in the house half of a pair of shears used for cutting metals, with which evidently the drawers and closets had been fractured, way found. 0-AT.PS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. The Malta Times of Jan. 16 mentions that, for four or five weeks preceding, the weather had been very stormy, with scarcely two consecutive dry days throughout that interval. The sky had been constantly overcast, and so heavy a fall of rain had never before been known. In some parts of the country the scene presented was of a character seldom witnessed there. The water rushed through the valleys with a headlong speed, forming itself into cascades, and tearing along with it huge stones which lay in its course to the sea. At one time no less than four waterspouts were observed. Many of the low grounds were completely flooded and num bers of the loose stone division walls of the fields and gardens thrown to the ground. Considerable damage was done to the busbandmen. Violent vinds, chiefly from the bleakest quarter of the com pass, also much prevailed, and altogether the wea ther was as dreary and uncongenial as it well could be in these latitudes. On Sunday night, the 9th of January, the sea rolled into the harbour of Valetta in appalling breaker. Several vessels re ceived much injury. Accounts from Bona of the 3d of January report the total loss of the French steamer Madinina on the rocks off that place. It appears she left Tunis on the 28th of December, bound to Bona, but owing to stormy weather was obliged on the day following to put into Port Farina. On the 30th, the weather having mode rated, she again put to sea, but on sighting Bona was caught in a heavy gale, and at two o'clock on the morning of the 31st was driven on the rocks off Bona. At daylight the passengers and crew were fortunately enabled to save themselves by fasten ing a rope to the shore. Both vessel and cargo are totally lost. In the offing of Valetta harbour on the 14th a fishing boat was upset and sank, but the men in her contrived to swim to shore behind Fort Ricaiosi. Letters have been received from her Majesty's line-of-battle ship Princess Royal, stating that, off the Island of Candia, she was caught in a squall, which strengthened into a hurricane so violent that the men were unable to go aloft, and several of her sails were blown away. It became necessary to get up steam and use her screw, to avoid being driven on a lee shore. The Caradoc, which returned from con veying the India telegrams to Cagliari, also met with very severe weather, and experienced some damage. The Princess Royal when last heard of was at Suda Bay, Candia. At Alexandria and on the coast of Egypt there have been several dis asters. A very novel occurrence in those latitudes, a huge whale had been cast ashore—a rich prize for the Arabs. On the 20th of January the Eng lish schooner Sappho and the barque Jane Price, with other 10 square-rigged vessels, and several coasting craft were lost at Catania. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL' S-THURSDA.Y. The publication of the weights for the Spring Handicaps rather retarded than promoted speculation. The " bills of pains and penalties " were discussed with much anim2tion, and a favourable opinion was passed on them. The Handi cap for the Chester Cup was deemed too light, but on the whole it was pronounced most satisfactory, and likely to insure a large acceptance. Drogheda, who had been backed at 25 to 1 in the city during the morning, was the only animal mentioned in connection with it this afternoon, and 22 to 1 was the highest offer against him. 25 to 1 was taken about Ralpho for the Two Thousand. THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.---The St. Pancras Vestry yesterday passed a strong resolution condemning the motion to be moved by Mr. Doulton at the Metropolitan Board of Works this day, to prevent deputa tions being admitted to address the Board, and calling upon their representatives strenuously to oppose such an attempt to stifle public opinion. The French financial journals state that the rail way companies, commencing from the Ist of July next, will issue obligations to the amount of 340 millions of francs (£ 1 3,600,000) for railway works during the present year. Until the date mcntioneF, the Bank of France will make the necessary ad vances. These demands constitute a heavy and per ,nanent drain upon the market, and as soon as the issues of new bonds recommence, the value of the existing issues can scarcely fail to be affected. In the event of war, great embarrassment would probably be experienced. DISEASE IN WALES.—That dreadful scourge the small-pox has been very rife in various parts of the principality, where in some localities it has made dreadful ravages. It has been prevalent in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, where it has often assumed the confluent form. At Carmarthen it has attacked old and young, and has been felt in both divisions of the principality. Scarlet fever has also been very prevalent, especially among young 1. children, many of whom have fallen victims. With the d small-pox it has been proved that many of those attacked Iwere persons who had not availed themselves of vaccina tion. Diphtheria is likewise prevalent, and the late changes have largely developed bronchial affections.
