Translated 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 laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ARTICLE EVER KNOWN in the GROWTH and IMPROVEMENT of the HUMAN HAIR is P OWLANDS' MACASSAR Um, pr., -.3 Led beyond question by its successful results for more than half a century past, and when other specifics have failed. It prevents hair from falling off or turning grey, strengthens weak hair, cleanses it from scurf or dandruff, and makes it beautifully soft, pliable, and glossy. For children it is espe cially, recommended as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair. Its invaluable properties have obtained the patronage of royalty, the nobility, and the aristocracy throughout Europe, while its introduction into the nursery of royalty, and the high esteem in which it is universally held, with numerous testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.

The following is the letter of our Bombay corres• pondent " BOMBAY, JAN. 10. " At the risk of repeating details which may be much more fully and graphically given by your own correspondent in Oude, I shall make a slight sketch of the reduction of the Baraitch districts by the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by such particu lars as have reached me from that part of India. My' last letter informed you that the Begum of Oude had sent in on the 21st of Dec. to Lord Clyde, or rather to Major Barrow, the political agent, to sue for surrender. Your own correspondent, doubtless, narrated in detail the plan • by which the advance on Baraitch was carried out ; how Lord Clyde crossed the Gogra at Fyzabil.d, after covering the line of that river, from the Nepaul Hills downwards, by corps echeloned at convenient distances, with proper reserves in rear at Seetapore and Baree ; how the line of the rebel retreat eastward was closed by the position of Brigadier Evelegh at Gonda, the advance of Brigadier Rowcroft on Toolsepore, and reserves in rear under Lord Mark Kerr ; how, advancing in person in a direct -line towards Baraitch, Lord Clyde caused Sir Hope Grant to follow a route parallel to his own by an advance up the course of the Raptee. Sir Hope Grant was detained for a considerabie time at Bulrampore by the rising of the Raptee, so that Lord Clyde was far in advance of him when he entered Baraitch on the 18th of December„ With the exception of a slight skirmish before entering the place, there was no incident to mark the Commander-in-Chief's opera lions up to that date. The cowardly spirit shown by the enemy must be a source of continued vexa tion among young officers who seek promotion by distinguished feats of arms. To such 'men the rebels give no chance. • " The suit of the Begum for surrender was not followed by the act ; and it was discovered late on the 21st of Dec. that the rebels hrd evacuated the intrenchments of Nanparah, taking the Begum, a prisoner as it were, among them. There was no thing for it but to proceed with the reduction of the districts. Accordingly, on the night of the 21st, Col. Christie, of her Majesty's 80th, was in structed to leave the main body, cross the Surjoo, and advance in a north-westerly direction. Colonel Christie obeyed his orders with diligence, and in spite of the bad weather (it rained heavily) he made good progress. On the 23d a second column was thrown forward to follow the left or eastern bank of the Surjoo in the direction of Chunda, and on the same day the Commander-in-Chief, with the whole of his remaining force, broke ground from Baraitch on the road to Nonparah. After a march of 15 miles he halted at Etahah, where the rain fell so abundantly that no further progress was possible. The 24th and 25th brought no change, and it was not till the 26th that the march could be resumed. On that day Lord Clyde moved out again on a bee line to Churdah. Nanparah was empty, and the force passed on. It was ascertained, however, from spies and scouts, that the enemy were in force at a place in advance called Buijidiah. After a march of 20 miles from Etahah the enemy appeared in sight at 4 p.m., apparently in force, in a position inter spersed with topes of trees surrounded by enclosures. They had several guns in position and appeared de termined to resist. As the leading companies of our force approached, and before they were within range, the rebels opened fire with chain shot, shells, and all kinds of curious missiles, which did no harm what ever. The Commander-in-Chief quietly turned their flank with the 7th Hussars. a squadron of Madras Cavalry, four Royal Horse Artillery guns, four com panies of Rifles, and three companies of Beloochees. General Mansfield attacked them in front with the remainder of the forceovhich consisted of five com panies of Rifles, eight companies of her Majesty's dOth, the rest of the Beloochees, two Horse Artil lery guns, 150 Carabineers, and the Ist Punjab Cavalry. The rebels fled the instant they saw their flank was turned, leaving six of their guns on the field. Then commenced a pursuit, in the course of which, the Horse Artillery getting rather wild, Lord Clyde put spurs to his favourite cluirger to bring them to some sort of order. In doing this his lord ship's horse tame down and threw Lord Clyde heavily to the ground, dislocating his shoulder and hurting his face. Ho rose instantly , hut the acci uem, — •4 ontv severe. Dr. Gordon ana Mackinnon were meav a,„ limb was restored to its place in two minutes, but the shock was very great, and Lord Clyde was unable to resume his seat. The pursuit continued, notwith standing this unfortunate accident. General Mans field led it in person, and he chased the rebels with his cavalry and guns for four miles, when they got into jungles and darkness came on. One of the guns taken was a 9-pounder. On the 27th Lord Clyde, lead ing in a doolie, marched at 10 o'clock seven miles, and came before the fort of Mujidiah, a much stronger position than any that the troops had found in Oude. It was girt in with a formidable ditch, and seemed capable of withstandingany sudden assault. Lord Clyde, however, after ordering it to be recon noitred, and causing his doolie to be carried to a point between two embrasures out of the direct line of fire, determined to take the place from three sides. On one flank an 18-pounder and an 8-inch mortar first opened fire ; two mortars opened on the other flank, while the Horse Artillery swept the surrounding jungle, then swarming with rebels. On the third side the heavy guns were placed in position in the jungle about 350 yards from the fort. For some time the enemy kept up a smart fire with round shot, grape, and brass shells. On our part the cannonade had not long commenced before the infantry was ordered to deploy, in skir mishing order, to its own front and left. The men had strict injunctions to creep through the jungles and aim at the embrasures. These orders were cleverly obeyed, and the accuracy of the Enfields enabled the marksman to cripple the enemy's fire, which first diminished, and then ceased altogether. The rebels were, in fact, so terrified that they abandoned the contest and fled through the jungles in their rear, where the cavalry could not pursue them, but where many were killed at half-pistol shot. The fort was immediately occupied, and six guns were found there. Strange to say, no traces appeared of either dead or wounded. The place was found to have been newly , built, surrounded by a ditch of immense depth, and armed with several guns, among which was an 18-pound howitzer and a large mortar. Quantities of grain, oil, shells, and ammunition were discovered. So precipitate was the flight of the garrison that they left no prisoners in our hands, and the intelligence department failed to discover the name of the chief who commanded. It was generally believed, however, that Bainie Madhoe had been there ; and it was well known that the Nana was not there. He had fled two days before along the Terrai to Combacote on the road to Toolsepore, to join his brother Bala Rao. By this movement he was performing the popular evo lution of jumping from the fryingpan into the fire. Brigadier Rowcroft had successfully advanced to Toolsepore and driven back Dabee Buksh and his confederates to the westward on Combacote. When last heard of he was proceeding thither. In the affair of Toolsepore two guns had been taken. Grant's column in its advance did nothing; but Colonel Christie had two engtmrnents with the rebels on the right bank of the Surjoo, and took some guns. When Mujidiah fell he lay at Muthara. Purnell and Troup had also changed their position and kept an even front with the head-quarters' column as it advanced. It was supposed that the Commander-in-Chief would not hold his last posi tion long, but that after blowing alp Mujidiah he would retire to Churdah or onparah, where greater facilities exist for making a move in any direction. The determination of Bainie Madhoo and other chiefs to hold out to the last, when they know that the amnesty expires on the Ist of January, creates a new difficulty for the Commander-in-Chief and Lord Canning. The question arise:; whether it is desirable to prolong the days of grac e. There is a rumour that orders have been issued to extend the amnesty beyond the Ist Jan. But I very much doubt the policy of this as far as the Oude incor rigibles are concerned. The Begum might be in formed privately that she may still be admitted to likely ave secured ure comed tthoe the benefits of the amnesty, but for - the rest no hope of pardon s h ou ld b e h e ld out.

That Tantia should in a fort night have been ablato baffle five or six columns tin own o u t i n pur suit of him, and ma rch from the vi c inity of Oodey pore to the neighbourhood of Jeypc ) re , is one of the s t ar tling proofs of the rapidity with which nati ve m arauders march, and shows that: the spirit of the old Pindarries sUI'ViVOB in full vig pr. Nor was this prodigious feat of locomotion performed in a direct line. It was accompanied by a variety of zig-za - g movements, which had been rendered absolutely necessary by obstacles which arose on every . side. On the 19th, as you were informed by my last letter Tantia was at Durriabad, in the vicinity of Per taubghur, manceuvring to pass into Kotah. The line of road at right angles north of the Chumbal was watched by several columns echeloned be tween Oodeypore :and 'Neemuch, while, the eastern line was guarded • between Rutlam and Neemuch. Tantia Topee first endeavoured to break through in a northerly direetion ' • and he marched to Bhiiidur. Major Ro c he's Neemuch column headed him there, and he, withdrew. A little to his right lay the Chota Sadree Pass. He tried to break through there, but Somerset's force was at hand, and he retired again. On the 24th he reappeared near.Pertaubghur and made a desperate effort to pass. Roche's column, however, had made forced marches after him, and occupied the road, so that an action was inevitable. Unfortunately, Tantia was misinforrned 'as to our force, and thought he had only to deal with a detachment of cavalry. I say unfortunately, becauSe had _he known that the whole of Major Roche's column, composed of infan try, cavalry, and part of Bolton's battery, was at hand, he would have hesitated -in attempting to force his way through the pass leading from Per taubghur, above Mundessore, to the Chumbul, and the chance would have remained to us of hemming him in and encircling his ill-disciplined -army. Tantia, however, fancying he had to deal only with cavalry, entered the, passage on the 24th, and was totally surprised by Ruche's force, whose artillery, under Captain Bolton, opened upon him at short range with considerable effect. Tantia did not at tempt to resist. He fled, and, leaving some men and elephants in our hands, swept by, our force and rapidly proceeded to the eastward. It was now the turn of Col. Somerset to pursue. He despatched Col. Benson with the 17th Lancers. Tantia did not relax for a moment in his efforts to fly. He got to the Chumbul, crossed it before his pursuers, and, still running east, entered Zeerapore, in the terri tory of Holkar, 100 miles south-east of Neemuch, on the 26th of December. Col. Benson followed him almost as rapidly as he fled, caught him at Zeerapore, after a forced march, and fought another action, in which the rebels lost more men and elephants. Still Tantia escaped and fled. He now abandoned his easterly course, and retired rapidly to the northward. On the Ist of January Colonel Somerset had again caught him at Bursode, or Bur rod, near the Chumbal, some 50 miles north-east of Kotab. This feat was performed by a forced march of five days, without tents, and with very little food. Col. Somerset's strength was, however, too numerically weak to do more than disperse the rebels. His force consisted only of two companies of the 92d, under Capt. Bethune, four guns Royal Horse Artillery, under Paget, 150 of Barra's Camel Corps, and a part of the 9th Bengal Native Infantry, under Capt. C. R. Baugh. Had the detachment been three times as large the rebels would have been destroyed to a man. The 92d, Camel Corps, and Ar tillery alone went into action, the 9th Native In fantry being left as a matter of necessity to protect the rear, as the force without that protection would infallibly have been mobbed by numbers. No troops could have behaved better than ours in the encounter; but the enemy gave no chance, and dispersed in stantly. Tantia proceeded from Burrod to the Chum bul, and passed into the Jeypore territory. " Feroze Shah, on the other hand, having crossed the Grand Trunk Road, having been joined by Maun Sing in the vicinity of Rajghur (the scene of General Michel's action with Tantia Topee a few months ago), and they having been defeated by Brigadier Smith's force from Seronje, on the 24th Dec., gathered his scattered followers together, and proceeded rapidly to the north, crossed the Chumbul at Indurghur, and effected his junction with Tantia Topee in the Jeypore territory. Their joint forces are by this at Mahorajpore, from which, as I have already remarked, it threatens Jeypore. I suppose, however, that the Ajmeer and Nusseera bad columns are on their track. " In Central India little has been done, except to receive the submission of rebels under the terms of the amnesty. The gang , which lay for so many weeks at Sacklone, in the vicinity of Liddell's force at Lullutpore, surrendered on the 28th December. " Those whom I described to you as threatening Kirwee, in the Banda districts, had tho audacity to attack that place on the 22d December. They surrounded the tow•. ,„ 11 uaptam oodutnaoli gra - l—Nnt - u a " the Ist a ras a ive Infantry, but, as they had no guns, their attempt failed. Capt. Woodland was relieved on the 25th by the district magistrate, Mr. Power, and a small force lent for the occasion by the Ranee of Chutterpore. The rebels retired to a position at Panwarree, three miles from Kirwee. On the 29th Gen. Whitlock attacked and killed upwards of 300 of them, and utterly dispersed the whole gang, Radha Gobind, their chief, flying for life into the jungles. " In North Berar the Rohillas and other dacoits who infest the rich cotton districts still remain un subdued. A party of then got into Gen. Beatson's rear, sacked Ajunta on the 3d January, and burned seven or eight villages. " Madras—peaceful Madras, as it has always been called—has been the scene of a religious riot, in which numbers of lives have been unnecessarily sacrificed. Nowhere in India is there so large a Christian population as at Tinnevelly. Nowhere is the Hindoo population more fainatical. The autho rities, always desirous of avoiding , contention be tween the Idolaters and Christians, have been accustomed weakly to give in to the prejudices of the Brahmins. Christian funeral processions have usually been prohibited from passing in front of the pagodas, and even in streets occupied by high caste Hindoos. Such pretensions have never been listened to in this Presidency, where Christian funerals pass daily before the temples of Bunneahs and Brahmins without remark. In the present in stance, it Seems, there was no road for a Christian funeral to pass, except that leading in front of the great Tinnevelly pagoda. The Brahmins, trusting to long-continued tolerance on the part of the autho rities, attempted to prevent the passage of the funeral. A row ensued. The Christians were stoned by the Brahmins, and it became necessary to send for a force to restore order. Unfortunately, three compa nies of Sepoys were brought in from Palamcottah, and fire-arms were used. The result was that 39 persons in the crowd were killed. .Experience shoWs that mobs of Hindoo religionists are easily dispersed without the use of fire-arms. Riots arising from causes similar to those which marked that of Tinne velly have been put down easily by the police with sticks, and there is no reason to doubt that a firm and determined magistrate, backed by a few reso lute policemen, armed with staves, would have got the upper hand of the mob in the present instance. The use of arms on the occasion is therefore inex cusable; and I hope the person who ordered them to be employed will meet with the reproof which he deserves. Religious fanaticism runs riot in the Presidency of Madras, bat it is much to be regretted that a massacre like that of Tinnevelly should have taken place at the present time, when all our efforts should be directed towards allaying differences and securing peace. " The only interesting news I have from Belga is, that Lord Canning left Allahabad on the 3d of Jan. for Calcutta. Mr. Edmonstone remains in charge of the North-West Provinces, and is suc ceeded by Mr. G. C. Barnes as Secretary to the Go vernment of India in the foreign department. It is supposed that Mr. Wingfield will succeed Mr. Mont gomery as Chief Commissioner in Oude. Mr. Muir returns to his appointment as junior member of the Board of Revenue, and Mr. E. C. Bayley becomes Secretary of the North-West Provinces. "We have had two arrivals of troops since my last letter—the Forerunner with draughts and the Great Tasmania with a wing of the 4th from the Mauritius. " The presidency has felt a smart shock of an earthquake, which seems to have extended from Peshawur down to Madras. " At Poona we have had a military riot, in which the 86th and Royal Artillery were the parties con cerned. One man has been killed and six or seven wounded. A court of inquiry has been sitting.

General - CODUINGTON was very_ well _received, and proceeded to review in. rapid succession the principal measures which had - engaged the atten tion of .the Legislature during the last. session of Parliament. and the votes he had given on those measures. Defending the con:duet of Lord Canning as Governor-General of India; and condemning the despatch which had been Written, against the pro clamation issued by his Lordship, he paid a well merited eulogium to the conduct of the troops engaged in suppressing the revolt, inider the gallant leadership of General Sir H. -Havelock, Lord Clyde, Sir John Lawrence, and others. The gallant General next referred to the attempt of Orsini on the life of the Emperor of tho French, as a miserable, dastardly, and impolitic crime, and denied that-the Conspiracy Bill brought into the House of Commons by 'Lord Palmerston was in tended as an interference with th e 'right of asylum so freely' granted by this country t o f ore i gners . (Hear, hear.) It was intended by that bill to make those who in this country plotted, with others in another country, to commit such crimes as that of Orsini, amenable to the law for the consequenc es o f such lotting, although the offence might be com mitted abroad, and for the passing of which bill he had given his vote, and would be prepared to do so again if the opportunity occurred. (Cheers and hisses.) Having referred to the votes hehad given in favour of the admission of Jews to Parliament, the . total abolition of church-rates, the property qualifica tion of members, and of Mr. Locke King's motion for an extension of the county franchise, and his opposition to the ballot, the gallant General ob served that when he first sought the honour of representing the borough in Parliament hehad stated that he considered an extension of the suffrage necessary. (Cheers.) That opinion he still held. (Renewed cheers.) He had given no pledge, because he did not think it right for members or for the interests of constituencies that a member should be a mere delegate, as to what that exten sion should consist ; but, having pledged himself to the principle, he hoped the electors would trust him, as they had trusted him before, promising them that he would not deceive them, that he would support that measure which, in his opinion, would most conduce to the happiness and prospe rity of the country. (Cheers.) The meeting was next addressed by Mr. CROW and Mr. MACARTHY, both of whom. declared that General Codrington had not given that support which he ought to procure an increase of pay to Government dockyard labourers, Mr. Macarthy producing a letter written by the General in Aug. 1857, to another person, to prove his remarks. General CODRINGTON emphatically repelled the statement made against him, and said, that not only had he waited upon the Admiralty, but upon the authorities at the War-office also, to procure an increase of pay to the dockyard labourers. (Cheers.) In proof of this he would direct attention to the letter which had been produced with the intention of - injuring him, merely observing that a private letter written to another person had been by some means obtained, and that, although he had no ob jection to it being publicly read, yet it ought to be a warning to representatives as to what they might write even privately to any of their constituents. (Hear, and cheers.) The CHAIRMAN here read the letter, which was simply an answer, received by General Codrington from Sir C. Wood, to the effect that neither poli tical nor private influence could be permitted by the Admiralty to be exercised in regard to the amount of wages paid to persons in Government dockyards, but that all complaints must be made by the workmen themselves, through the different Captain• Superintendents, when it was suggested the Admiralty would have no objection to receive one or two of the workmen as a deputation. A scene of indescribable confusion here ensued, with each 0111 . 61 'ancnrlva/ ihn - thiM - tne vrmienig-- stick of one of them had been broken, and they were both ejected from the building that order was restored. Several other questions, including legal reform, the rating of Government property, and a Maine liquor law, having been answered, Mr. NOBLE proposed a resolution, expressing satisfaction in the past and confidence in the future conduct of General Codrington as a representative of the borough. Mr. TEULON seconded the resolution, which was carried. ________ A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chair man, and the meeting was about separating, when General CODRINGTON again came forward, and said he had to request the attention of the electors to a matter which affected them as well as himself. On the 31st of January he had been offered a mili tary command abroad. At that time he had ar ranged to hold three public meetings in the borough but at neither of the two meetings previously held, at Deptford and Woolwich, had it been settled whether he would accept that command, nor had it been settled until within a quarter of an hour of his coming to the meeting that evening. The command to which he had referred would not be vacant until April, and he had now to state that it was his intention, when that time arrived, to resign into the hands of the constituency that honour and that important trust which they had conferred upon him. In doing so, he had to thank the elec tors for the kindness and support he had received, assuring them that when the time arrived for say ing farewell he should look back with the greatest pleasure upon his connection with the borough. Cheers..) The above announcement took the meeting by surprise, and as the second vacancy in the repre sentation of the borough will occur about the same time as the writ is expected to be issued for the election of a successor to Mr. John Townsend, dis qualified from taking his seat, it is generally sup posed that both seats will be contested at the same election. Already it is rumoured that ot her candi dates, in addition to Mr. Alderman Salomons and Mr. Angerstein, 'who i have been som e time in the field, will present themselves in the course of a few days, and that a numerously sig ned requisition will be presented to Mr. Montagu.

Sir,—On the 15th of October, shortly after sun set, we had the first distinct view of what there appears to be little doubt is the great comet of 1264 and 1556, whose long journey has been calcu lated with so much precision that it was expected to visit our world again this year. Its position was then (15th Oct.) in the northern extremity of the sign Scorpio, just outside the ecliptic, 20 deg. south of the equator, and 265 deg, west longitude. Appa rently the nucleus was about the size of the planet Mars, and was distinctly defined. The coma was in breadth nearly the diameter of the nucleus, and the tail, which was slightly curved towards the sun, and to a small extent fan•shaped, was about four degrees in length. The breadth of the tail in the middle might be a quarter the apparent diameter of the moon ; and, as is almost invariably the case with these strange visitors, extended in a direction opposite to that of the sun. For about a third of its length it was very bright, notwithstanding the eclipsing effects of a new moon, then it waxed fainter and fainter, until it became, as it were, im perceptibly lest in the heavens. I have described its appearance in the past tense, as it has not been visible to the naked eye since the 16th inst., although it may likely be seen for some time yet with a powerful telescope. Although in many respects it corresponds to the cornet formerly alluded to, its progress does not agree with it ; for while the stranger in 1556 pursued a north-westerly path, this one is receding from the sun in a south east direction, along the edge of the sign Scorpio, across the ecliptic at an angle of 384 degrees. It is moving into space with great rapidity, at first nearly 5 degrees in 24 hours ; but, as its distance became greater, this apparent motion became of course much less—say, latterly, about one degree in the same time. I have taken the liberty of giving you these par ticulars, arrived at to the best of my ability and op portunity, in case a more scientific person should not send home a report from this quarter of this strange phenomenon of nature.

Last night it blew a stiff gale outside, and at daybreak this morning the Coast Guard discovered a large barque, dismasted, drifting down Channel to the eastward, about four miles out. She had only a part of her mizenmast standing, and not a shred of canvas was visible. The lifeboats were immediately launched, and two crews, headed i by the well-k nown John Wright, of this plac e and Sohn Spicer, one nfhis i;Aufralarria observed about the same time from the Greenway Preventive Station at Rottingdean, and, under the direction of Richard Millard, the veteran chief boatman in charge, a small four-oared galley, manned by five gallant fellows belonging to the station, put off to aid the vessel. There was much difficulty in launching this smallboat, owing to the heavy sea running at the time, and great anxiety prevailed for the safety of her crew, even after she had got well clear of the breakers. But the gallant little craft crested the waves in good style, and after a couple of hours hard pulling she was the first boat to come alongside the wreck, which lay in the trough of the sea, rolling fearfully. After consi derable risk and difficulty, the coxswain of the galley, Wm. Wiley, brought his vessel alongside, and with his companions boarded the vessel, which proved to be the Spanish baque Vizcaya, of Bilboa, Captain Jose de Urquida, in ballast, bound from Falmouth to London, for orders. The crew had abandoned the ship, which had evidently been in recent collision with some large vessel, the masts, yards, and rigging lying in one indiscriminate mass upon the deck, and the bulwarks on both sides le as the only bower anchor, which of saving her, let go the o roc being ky carried osfh oRr ec:tthet a i n w gad:re crew e nw, T oa h fn e dt shiphebeating galley, being al , in now towards south west a which fortunately brought her up immediately.

The Brighton and South Coast Com pany's ste ams hip first to get her steam up, and as soon as the water in the harbour permitted, she put off to the wreck, having ou board Mr. Bosson, the company's agent, and two channel pilots. There was considerable difficulty in attaching the hawser, but after a time this was accomplished, and about half-past one o'clock the wreck was safely towed into Newhaven Harbour, where she remains in charge of the pre ventive officers. Later this morning, a full-rigged ship was observed off Shoreham, partially dismasted. Several steamtugs put off to her assistance, and in consequence of thedraught of water being too great to enter Shoreham Harbour they have taken her to the westward, probably intending to go into Ports mouth. This is supposed to be the ship with which the Spanish barque must have come into collision during last night •, and it is hoped that the crew of the latter will be found on boardthe larger ship.

The prospectus has been issued of the Australa sian Land and Emigration Company, with a capital of £lOO,OOO in £1 shares. The object is to acquire land in considerable blocks in the colony of Victoria, and to dis pose of it in small lots, sites on the routes of t he p rojected railways being especially selected. 8,000 acres have already been secured. The plan comprises a m ethod of registra tion, and also of correspondence, with frie ndl y and benefit societies, so as to promote systematic emigration. AUSTRALIA. SYDNEY, DEC. 14. Mr. Pritchard, the British Consul at the Feejee Islands, arrived in Sydney a few days ago in the missionary ship John Wesley, with a treaty in his pocket, by which the protectorate of the Fejee Islands is to be ceded to Great Britain on certain conditions, and he proceeds to England by the mail steamer to see if he can secure the ratifi ca ti on o f this agreement by her Majesty's Government. Thakombun, the native potentate who thus Offers to place his royalty under the guardian s hip o f h er Majesty, has been induced to take this course to escape from the pressure of demands made by the Government of the United States. Some American citizens hays been killed in Feejee, others have been injured in their property and persons in various encounters. The demands made for indem- nity have never been satisfied. The claims, some of which are of old standing, have been assessed by a board of American officers at 45,000 dols.. and in order to escape the payment or the punishment which is threatened for non-payment, the Fejee chief offers to hand over his dominions to the British Government, and leave it with them to make it right with the authorities at Washington. He proposes to retain his titular sovereignty, but to part with his real power, and to govern only in accordance with the instructions of her Majesty's local representative. To compensate for the £9,000 which her Majesty will have to pay for the honour of being Queen of Feejee, he offers to give 200,000 acres of land in fee simple, with any other plots of land that may be needed for Governmental pur poses. Something more than curiosity exists in Sydney to know whether the British Government will favour ably consider this offer. The establishment of British power among the islands has been long desired, not only by the missionaries, but the traders, as a protection, not only against foreign aggression, but also against internal organisation. The occupation of Feejee would act as a counter poise against the French influence at Tahiti and New Caledonia, and would break the line of French posts across the Pacific. And, what would be equally popular in Australia, it would necessitate lie maintenance in those waters of one or two more British ships of war. But, perhaps, the very reasons why the colonists would like to see a British estab- lisliment in Feejee were those which would most strongly induce her Majesty's Ministers not to take such a course. To multiply its isolated depend encies, except for very good reasons, is not the policy of the Government ; still less so to purchase a right of quarrel with the United States. The Feejee Islands, however, would in themselves be a valu - able possession. The two principal islands are of considerable area, the lowlands are fertile, and are capable of producing good cotton ; the moun- tains are salubrious, there 2.s i lausgtLeAßdlAt Thakomban's title to be chief or at 200,6(1tr a the whole group is r :rnot very clear whether sound and marketable. During the past month one session of Parliament has closed and another has opened. It was consti tutionally necessary to try .and pass the estimates for 1859 before Christmas. The Appropriation Act for the present year was not assented to till the close of November, so that the money was in reality nearly all spent before it was voted. Party squabbles and Ministerial changes have thrown the Parliamentary work so much in arrear that it has been found impossible to get the estimates passed in time. An attempt is now being made to fetch up leeway. The Government intend to bring forward this session nothing whatever but the esti mates, and to pass them on as fast as possible, leav ing all general measures to the Reformed Par liament; but the Opposition have already shown a desire to introduce various questions, and to impede the progress of the mere financial business, so that the session may yet be a long one. During the interval between the two sessions an ecclesiastical Parliament was held in the shape of a conference of the Church of England clergy and lay delegates, summoned by the bishop to decide as to the establishment of a synod. The Church of England in the colonies is in a somewhat anoma lous position. It labours, or is said to labour, under special disabilities, which impede its free action. But the Imperial authorities, for reasons affecting the prerogative, decline to pass any bill definitely removing these alleged disabilities. It only remains, therefore, for an appeal to be made to the colonial Legislatures. In Canada, in Victoria, in Tasmania, acts have been passed legalising the convention of synods. In South Australia and New Zealand synods have been established by voluntary consent of the parties concerned, and without any appeal to Parliament. At the recent conference in Sydney, it was decided by a large majority to apply for Parliamentary sanction, and to present to the Le gislature not only an enabling bill, but a bill con stituting the ecclesiastical organisation of the synod. Such a bill was accordingly agreed to, after careful discussion of its clauses, and the conference has been dissolved. But it is by no means certain that the bill will pass Parliament. The Catholics have _ _ been deeply offended of late by the return to the colony unsanctioned of their bill to establish a Ca tholic College in connection with the University of Sydney. In this bill the phrases " archbishop" and " archdiocese" of Sydney were used, and the bishop remonstrated against them, and not by petition to the Assembly, but by letter to the Government, and privately by communicating with high ecclesias tical authorities at home. Lord Stanley sympa thised with the objection, and sent the bill back to be amended. R.solutions have been several times brought forward in the Assembly by the Catholic party strongly condemnatory of Lord Stanley's con duct; but they have been invariably met by . a count out. This has only made the Catholics still more angry, and they vow to have their revenge at the next general election. They will certainly use their.political influence which is very great, to pay out the bishop by securing the rejection of his Synod Bill, and in this they will be aided by . the non-episcopal portion of the religious community, who are opposed to any recognition by the Govern ment of the internal constitution of the different churches. A very respectable and influential minor, too, in the Church of England itself is oppose to the bill in the shape in which it has come out of the conference, so that its chances of becoming the law of the land are not very bright. The quarrel between the squatters and the Go vernment as to their rights under their leases seems likely to be transferred to the Supreme Court. One of the acts passed in the late session imposed an a ssessment on runs. There have b een previously assessments on stocks, but never before an assess ment on the carrying capacity of the runs, many of which are altogether;uns tockedoronly very lightly s tocked. This change in the incidence of the tax is said to be illegal and not sanctioned by the orders in Council. Most of the colonial lawyers take this view, though, of course, there are found. e r l t l ur t n ha t t he th p e i y .es others prepared to argue on the opposite side. The wealthy squatters . do not care to contest the point, w en o t ul a d rr o a n n l g y ein ge e t nt w , inasmuch as victory would be disaster, for, were they to, t f o ull oN N ' i e r they terms at any future settlement. But some of the poorer squatters, on whom th e t ax P re sses hardly, and especially so as being a retrospective tax, for it was not passed till the year had nearly expired, threaten to try the right of the Government in the law courts. The late Attorney-General has given his written opinion that the Judge would be forced to decide against the Government. As one adverse decision would involve equally every case, this long
