Nicolls' original paletot, that is to say, it avoids giving to the wearer an outré appearance, so that professional men and all others can use it during morning and afternoon in or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary seams, well known to secure a more graceful out line, as well as to effect a great saving in wear ; the latter advantage is considerably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly stitched binding, the mode of effecting which is patented. Great exertions are being made to supply Messrs. Nicolls' agents throughout the country and the colonies with an assortment of this new garment, simulta neously with the display in London, but it is necessary to in rprtn the public that all Messrs. Nicolls' manufactures may be aistinguished specimens trad mark consistin , of a silk label attached to each ; to ' cop'y this is fr"aud, and maw be tbus detected.; If the garment is dark-coloured, the label has the Jacquard loom in t VAirgiguied"4lllE; j eTh and reent is light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground, red silk let ters. Each paletot is marked in plain figures, at a fixed moderate price, and is of the best materials. In London, the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of H. J. and D.

A great variety of materials adapted for the Kilted or Highland Costume, as Worn by the Royal Princes, may be seen at WARWICK HOUSE, 142 and 144, Regent-street. FOR LADIES. NICOLLS' PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No Lady having seen or used such in travelling, for morning. Wear, or for covering full dress would willingly be without ; s _ ll e. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is /tot cumbersome or heavy, and measures from 12 to 18 yards round the outer edge, falling in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manu factured by this firm. The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak ; hut _with the Mecanique and a lined }rood a few shillings more is charged,_This department is attended to by Cutters, who prepare'Mantles of all kinds, With Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door . use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding Habit — are in good taste and fit well. Female attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames it Cheval, partially composed of Chamois. As no measure is required the Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift. 11. J. and D.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, M a t r iculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, llone rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries Hall, London, &c., & The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,, degradation in Manhood, •and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to m p odern atholog,ists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secretdohuabts of hazard ehaystheaelheoeanldthi: tion, and who are conscious.of vin happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. • It is abi - Olutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot b n e v iolated without incurring grievous penalties, and whe wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting - of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply -a cure. .Published by J.

It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wenderfuL The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less thanl2 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff; &c., the animals which carried off the highest pres had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. idivlsAottretihssLsilinAof weiirthLye:OhltsmSATstanli;ceinT,hasHbfeoElrooecnS;7;!tt4;mdDurinaeOflaWaiteNotutynn.e—rpegsaatAiduneywnerdlr mental depression, left her home on Wednesday, as it wa s supposed, to visit some relation.

The familywas much alarmed at learning that she had not been seen at the place Where it was supposed she had gone, and the town was ransacked to find her.

The adjourned conference on singing in schools, which was convened by , the Tonic Sol-Fa Associa tion, and the first meeting of which took place on the 20th ult., re-assembled yesterday evening, at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion, 165, Aldersgate-street. W. E. Hickson, of Fairseat, Kent, again presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, re minded the conference that before the adjournment took place. Mr. Tilleard moved a resolution the consideration otiwhich was postponed. That reso lution was,he marked, as follows That in the opinion of this conference all-methods which aim at usefulness in schools should possess the following, qualifications : They should be scientifically truth ful ; they should' be progressive, always proceeding from the less to the more difficult, introducing new topics in such a manner as to sustain a freshness of interest, and enabling the teacher to take one truth at a time, and to assist his pupils in discover ing it. The lessons and exercises should be in themselves attractive, such as will, for their own sake, be loved and remembered by a child. Such .methods should also be easy to teach, making small demands upon either the physical powers of the •teacher or the invaluable time of the schools." Mr. Tg , UARD, in renewing the foregoing reso lution, re-stated his views with regard to some of the fundamental - principles on which music should be taught in schools. He then went on to observe, that in the teaching of music, as in the teaching of any other art, there should, in his opinion, be the use of a known and recognised terminology. Some years ago children used to hear at school of back boned animals ' • but- it was afterwards found that such. ternis would not serve the purpose, and that for " backboned" must be substi tuted " vertebrate." Let them apply this to music. " A major third," or " a minor third," was not, after all, a very difficult _expression to learn ; and he mai n t a i ne d t h at t h e terms now recognised throughout the musical world were essential to proper musical instruction. A pupil under the tonic sol-fa system, if his knowledge did 'not extend beyond that system, would be unable to converse with musical persons generally on musi cal subjects; and it was very desirable that all should speak the same language. (Hear, hear.) The chairman could onjy have been joking when he told them on the last occasion that all roads, that - is, all methods of teaching music, led to the same point. There could only be one straight line between two given points ; and the very fact that so many persons had assembled twice to discuss the question - of method showed that in their estimation method was a very serious matter. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MYERS, in seconding the resolution, said he was not a convert yet to' the'- tonic sol-fa system, but he was willing to adopt any portion of it which, might appear to him to be useful. The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. The Rev. 3. CURWEN then moved the following series of resolutions :—• "1. That, - in accordance with the opinions just approved by the conferenc e , no System of teaching to sing can be a good one hich does not accustom its pupils- to measure intervals from the tonic or key-note. Hence the failure of Mr. Hullah's method. " 2, That the chief difficulty of carrying out this tonic principle arises from the frequency of modulation, or change of k ey, in ey, the higher styles . of music ; that this di fpculty app ears al most i nsuperable when the p up il o f such methods as Mr. Hately's of Edinburgh, Mr. Jackson's of Bradford, or Mr. Turner's of London (which are all confined to the established notation) wishes to sing classic music at first sight—such a pupil being obliged, then, to leave tonic solfaing and:have re course to what may be called chromatic Solfaing That the tonic sol-fa system of interpreting the k e y s ' (in this kind of music), and expressing them in a new notation, is to be regarded, at present, only as an experiment ; but that this difficulty of a tonic method is confined to the higher style of music, and need not give any anxiety to the school teacher. " 3. That, as in all good teaching the sign should be regarded as entirely subordinate to that which it signifies .(the object of the instructor being to teach the thing itself, and only subordinately the marks or names by which it is known), it is not teacher-like' to object to the methods of Nageli A they have employed some new notation (of figures, symbols, or letters) in order to attract the exclusive attention of their, pupils to the great principle of key-relationship in their early lessons on interval ; if it can be shown that the pupils do learn the thing music more truthfully or more quickly, or obtain music at a very much cheaper rate, and therefore more abundantly, by the help of these new nota tions than without them. This conference, how ever, recommend's that those school teachers who adopt new notations for this purpose should not neglect to introduce the pupils of their higher classes to that notation of music which is now established. in general use throughout the world." Mr. GOODCHILD, of the British Schools, Stock port, seconded the r e solution, observing hat he had become a convert from the old notation to the tonic soi•fa notation. Mr. G. IV. MARTIN then rose to reply . to Mr. Curwen. That gentleman had, he said, referred to his own remarks respecting singing by ear. Every sensible teacher would begin by teaching the pupils to sing by ear. They must cultivate the ear before they hegan to cultivate the eye, and if the ear was bad, they must endeavour to improve it. Great credit was claimed for the teaching_9f key relation shipby the tonic sol-fa system. What teacher of music would ever neglect to teach key relationship ? (Hear, hear.) It formed part of all good teaching. As regarded the syllables, he admitted that if they were taught at all, the moveable " doh" of the tonic sol-fa system was preferable to the other ; but he maintained that the syllables were useless, and, more than that, actually in the way. He still maintained that the old notation was the best when properly taught. To this extent he presumed Mr. Curwen and himself agreed, that they must culti vate the relationship, and that the first note of the scale was the principal note. Mr. Curwen admitted that there were many difficult passages which the very best musicians could not sol-fa, and if the sol fa system were right they would be able to do so. Some of the modulations in " Israel in Egypt" were so rapid that it was impossible to sol-fa them. Mr. CtrnwEN—At sight. Mr. MARTIN—WeII, they were talking about singing at sight. They had been told of new systems of notation in Germany and in France as well as in this country. The tendency of all this novelty was completely to destroy the univer sality of musical language, and it was a serious question for the conference whether it should not set its face against the absurdity of introducing a number of notations. The difference in the cost of music, which was now so cheap in the old notation, was not so important as community of language. Children could now get-as much for a penny of the old notation as to last them a month. (Cries of "No, no.") Mr. Martin concluded with an elabo rate, scientific comparison of the merits of the old notation with those of the new with the practical aid of the blackboard and of the voices , of his audience. Mr. CRAMPTON, of the Borough-road Schools, viewed the tonic sol-fa system as a capital intro duction to a knowledge of the 'scale. Lines and notes no more represented music in themselves than syllables represented it—it was only by common agreement that they served that purpose. The key was not established by any note, but by the accom panying harmony of that note. [The speaker here illustrated his meaning by means of notes on the blackboard.) The cheapness of music depended, he believed, chiefly on the demand. The " Messiah" might now be had for ls.—[A Voice—No, ls. 4d.] —and if the demand increased, the price would be quite low enough with the old notation. He re garded the tonic sol-fa system as a valuable intro duction to harmony, but he thought that when harmony came in the sooner that system was aban doned the better. Mr. ROBERTS thought the tonic sol-fa system had not been dealt with fairly. If the question was what vessel was best adapted for the Australian service, they would all inquire which had performed the voyage hitherto in the shortest time ; and having tried other systems before trying Mr. Cur wen's, he had no hesitation in saying that the latter was the only one from which he could obtain satis factory results. (Hear, hear.) When he tried Mr. Hullah's system he found that very few boys could learn to sing under it. He had now 250 learning to sing on the tonic sol-fa system, and of these, 150 could sing a moderately difficult tune at first sight. (Hear, hear.) He denied that the old notation was the musical language of the world, it was the lan guage of a select few ; only a very small per cent age of the world had yet learnt to sing. (Hear, hear.) It was an important fact that a great deal of the best classical music was already found in the tonic sol-fa notation, including Handel's "Messiah , " Hadyn's " Creation," Romberg's " Song of the Bell," MoildelOolao "An the heatt puts:" Ncott'o glees, &c. [A Voice—ls it sung ?) Yes, it was sung. (Hear, hear.) Let the system be judged by results. On Mr. Curwen's system the child went away after the very first lesson, feeling that he had learnt something ; after the second lesson he went home with glee, knowing that he had learnt something more ; after the third lesson he took home with him his penny Reporter, and could there make out a simple tune by himself. He was not speaking of a boy with a first-rate ear, but of one with an ordinary car. Mr. BENNET said, having taught music for 15 or 16 years on the old system, And having recently made use, to some extent, of the tonic sol-fa system, he wished to know how it was that the notation of the latter was so powerless that it could not go into the very first relative major key, the simplest of all modulations, without doing violence to itself? Mr. CURwEN said he had purposely avoided giving anything like a lecture that evening, but the question was very easily answered. If the gentleman who had put it was acquainted with the system, he would know that the use of " tu" and " soh" was a condescension to the old system. The power of getting into any key was of the essence of the tonic sol-fa system. _ _ Mr. LLNE bore testimony to the rapid progress of pupils in his school under Mr. Curwen's system. Mr. RUNTZ, superintendent of the Birkbeck Schools, said, having for a long time talked against the tonic sol-fa system, he determined at length to try it, and he was now prepared to testify, as the result of experience, that for teaching children to sing rapidly at sight there was no method like Mr. Curwen's. (Cheers.) After a few general remarks from the Chairman, the resolutions were put and carried, there being only about six dissentients. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the conference then separated. PRICE 4 D • STAMPED, SD. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. (From the Morning Herald.) In the excitement of foreign affairs, and the tur moil of home politics, topics connected with our colonial empire require more:than ordinary interest to attract public attention, Since the accession to office of Sir Edward Lytton our colonies have not been wanting in their contribution to public discussion. A new goldfield has exalted a waste laud into a populous community. Canada has sent to the mother country a deputation composed of three distinguished colonial statesmen. Victoria, through the channel of her Mayor, the Whittington of Melbourne, has poured her gold into the coffers reserved for the relief of our countrymen in India, and has evinced a desire, though at the antipodes, to maintain intact her English connection and her English. sympathies. But while contemplating with satisfaction the acts of our Anglo-Saxon off spring, we cannot forget that our Colonial Minister rules lands populated by other races—races, though different in blood and national manners, yet, his torically, not less illustrious than our own. Amongst these, an independent state—relying on us for protection, not for existence—the United lonian Islands, occupy a foremost rank. It is to them that we would for the present turn the atten tion of our readers. The original charter of the lonian Islands received many popular modifiations in 1847. Since that time, however —apparently from some defects in the legis lative or executive machinery which experience has made manifest—the constitution of the islands has worked badly. The Legislative Assembly has failed to eo-operate with the Lord High Commis sioner and the Senate. The progress of the public works has been materially checked. Salutary reforms have been thwarted. Matters, in short, have threatened to come to a dead lock. Recent dissensions between the municipal officers and the Senate have aggravated these mischiefs. The moment has in fact- arrived when some search ing inquiry must be made into all these com plications. It has been found necessary, therefore, to dispatch to the lonian Islands some statesman whose standing in this country, whose eminence and attainments, fit him to inquire into the causes which obstruct the harmony of the governing ac tion. Such a mission required no ordinary man. It is for the commissioner to separate apparent from real causes, to detect defective foundations, and not to be deceived by the plausibility of detail. There was but one man indeed specially marked out for the post, from his eminent fame, freedom from party ties, liberality , of opinion, commanding cha racter, and scholastic accomplishments. These great qualities are united in Mr. Gladstone, and we are indeed happy to announce that this dis tinguished orator and statesman has consented to undertake the duties of this difficult and peculiar mission. But beyond these there are other accessories tend ing to facilitate the objects held in view. Mr. Glad stone, as the early friend and colleague of Sir John Young, will not by his presence cast any slur on the merits or services of that administrator ; and we have reason to believe that few will welcome Mr. Gladstone's nomination with so much cordiality as the Lord High Commissioner. In the selection of Mr. Gladstone we perceive a further proof of that discriminative quality which has characterised all the appointments made ;by Sir Edward Lytton. When engineers were required for British Columbia the Colonial Secretary obtained for his new colony the services of men amongst the most eminent of their craft. Judgeships have been vacant at Corfu, and Sir Edward Lytton sought for the posts those men who, to high legal acquire ments, added a thorough knowledge of the Romaic dialect. To have secu re d th e serv ices of such a man as Mr. Gladstone, is a fitting reward for the labours of such a man as Sir Edward Lytton. Nor has reward ever been so well deserved. Without re mission for a single day, the Colonel Secretary has devoted the whole of his time and his splendid talent to the duties of his office. It is by applica tion such as this that brilliant results can alone be achieved. The co-operation of Mr. Gladstone is amongst the first of his successes ; nor will any lengthened period elapse before the public will recognise the valuable fruits of so much labour and so lofty a talent. fFrom the Times. the lonian Islands, and will leave England immedi ately for those interesting dependencies. How far personal tastes may have led Mr. Gladstone to seek temporary occupation and residence on classic ground we cannot say, but the reasons whiCh have induced the Government to send a Commissioner to Corfu may be shortly stated, and we think will be found to justify so unusual a course. Our readers need not be told that the great body of the lonians are of the Greek Church and speak the Greek language, and that since the Protectorate has been establisheed, and particularly of late years, they have evinced a total antipathy to British rule. Now, England cannot be accused, except by the most ignorant and virulent, of harshness in the government of her dependencies. Indeed, of late years, the conduct of the mother country has been so uniformly generous and forbearing that sensible men at home have begun to complain that colonial self-will and caprice have too much of their own way, In any dispute between the Central Govern ment and a dependency the dependency is sure to get the best of it, and the economists do not fail to point out that we pay for the administration, the defence, and, to a certain degree, for the inter nal improvement of regions which give us no ad vantage of trade over the American or Dutchman, and even refused to allow our penitentiary estab lishments to remain within their limits. But this country is, we are all proud to think, actuated by high motives and a far-sighted policy. To treat dependencies, whether inhabited by our own race or any other, with justice and kindness, to bear with the excesses of a hastily gathered population andthe rough working of new institutions, it is the duty of an old State like ours, and it is the privilege of England, bought by her achievements in great struggles that she can yield gracefully to these young communities, even when their tone is peevish and their demands are scarcely reasonable. The effects of this policy are to be seen in the present state of the British empire. There is scarcely a civilised nation which has not some of its kindred living peaceably and contentedly under the British sceptre. The old French in Canada have increased and multiplied ; the newer French in Mauritius are among the most prosperous of sugar-growers. Germans, Dutchmen, Spaniards, are flourishing under the mild sway of Queen Victoria. The unquiet Yankee, too, settles down to trade within our borders ; and in his more candid moments confesses that action and speech are as free as in his own enlightened land, while property is as safe, and life, perhaps, a little safer. Even among the ignorant Asiatics we find that a call to rebellion addressed to 180 millions ofpeople by a treacherous army has been answered only in a narrow district, and by the race of aristocratic landowners, In short, the general verdict of the world has been in favour of our government, and populations the most diverse have agreed in respect and attach ment to the British Crown. But nothing has been able to conciliate the race which inhabits the Seven Islands. We are not now about to make any remark on Greeks in general or lonians in particular. They _ w a e re s , te n rn won o doubt, aware of their unpOpularity l Europe, and it is unnecessary for us_ to . l t aunch uo t a a t them the accustomed darts, nged wi hq tions from Juvenal. But, if ever invective and sarcasm were provoked, it has been by the conduct of the lonians towards the Government and people of England. All that gives them dignity and con sequence in the world they owe to the British c rown . They have not followed Venice into subjection to some Austrian commandant ; they are not Turkish Rayahs ; they are not worried by the police of the Russian Emperor. They have been elevated from the lowest grade of Medi• terranean vagabondage to be citizens of the richest and freeest empire in the world. Within a few years of the establishment of the Protectorate the Go vernment of England, T ory as it was, allowed them an amount of freedom of which no Southern race had previously conceived a notion. How that freedom has been abused the hi s t or y of the last 40 years will tell. But not only do the lonians owe everything to England, the independence of Greece was almost wholly an English work. It was in this country that the enthusiasm for the supposed descendants of the ancient Hellenes took its rise ; it was English statesmen who caused Europe to interpose and wrest a province from the Sultan, our ally, while he was engaged in a terrible domestic conflict. One would think that the lonians would remember all this, or that they would find others to remind them of it, either among the people of independent Greece, or among their prosperous compatriots who have made their homes in England. No re flection or advice, however, seems to have affected the vain heads and acrimonious tempers of the lonians. At length in 1,847 the constitution under MANCHESTER ELECTION. On Tuesday evening Mr. Bailey addressed his committee and the electors of St. John's Ward, in St. Matthew's Schoolroom, Liverpool-road, which was crowded. Mr. A. M‘DouGALL, who presided, announced that it was not likely that there would be any op position to Mr. Bazley ; but, notwithstanding, it was Mr. Bazley's expressed wish that he should meet the citizens in their respective wards, so that they mifht have an opportunity of asking questions and receiving answers and explanations . Which could not be satisfactorily done at a general meeting in the Free-trade Hall. (Applause.) Mr. J. THOMAS proposed Mr. Bazley as a fit and proper person to represent the citizens in Parlia ment. In eulogising him, he stated that Mr. Baz ley did not attempt. in any shape or form, to coerce his workpeople to vote for the side he voted at the last eleetion—(cheers)—and he would pay attention to all deputations wbo waited upon him. Mr. T. SCOTT seconded the nomination, and said that as a commercial representative there was no abler or better than Mr. Bazley in Manchester. .The Rev. WILLIAM HUNTINGTON, rector of St. John's, supported the nomination, and, in recom mending Mr. Bazley, spoke of his acquaintance with him for 30 years. He was the worthy son of a worthy and respected parent, and attended to the best interests of the operative class. He supported schools for the eduCation of that class which many other gentlemen in the same station did not ; and from his knowledge of the wants of Manchester, and his business habits, he was undoubtedly the best representative they could have. Some questions were then put to Mr. Bazley, who, the chairman said, would answer them all in his address. They were—Whether he would sup port the Permissive Bill of the United Kingdom Alliance ? (Loud laughter, groans, and a cry of " Gammon.") Whether he would support the open. jug, of places of amusement on the Sabbath ? How far he would go in support of a government plan of education ? e E e Y r , w i ng ho , wa s re said hea e d iv t e h d e w sl i tt t n y fac lou ti d on an o d f con M ti r n . ue ß d Az ch L learning that a contest was not likely to take place ; yet it was his duty to attend the various ward meetings of this great municipality, with the view of affording every possible explanation not only to the electors, but also to the non-represented. (Cheers.) Mr. Thomas had incidentally stated that 4 11s ---L mont ago, wen the first intimation reached him through the public press, that his friends would bring him forward as a candidate to represent Man chester in Parliament, he sent for his manager, and told him that if he (Mr. Bazley) should be brought forward, he should not inquire how his workpeople voted—(applause)—and desired him to beg them to exercise their franchise with perfect independence. (Cheers.) [A Voice—lt is quite correct.] Having alluded to the part he had taken in the repeal of the corn laws, and touched upon the subject of peace and the defences of the country—(matters upon whichhis opinions are already known)—Mr. Bazley said it was especially requisite that our foreign representatives should be peaceful in demeanour towards the countries they were sent to, so that they might be missionaries of peace and intel ligence, to communicate to their own country everything that would be likely to ratify the bond of peace. With reference to the affairs connected with our home institutions, he would like to see a general system of education established, either through governmental or municipal agencies. He would thankfully receive any general system by which young people could be trained in the ways of virtue and industry, because unless they had an intelligent substratum to build upon, they could not expect to have an intelligent community. Of course he should like to see any system prevail that, would lead to more sobriety than at present existed. He hoped he was temperate himself ; but he con fessed that he took that good advice that Paul gave to Timothy, that he was to take a little wine for his stomach's sake. (Great cheers and laughter.) At the same time, he should wish excess to be pre vented ; but this would best be done by moral training and good school discipline. Of those drinking palaces which, if entered, (certainly de graded, he would support every possible means of obtaining a diminution ; but, whilst he wished to diminish the great evil of intoxication, he would not like to deprive the workman, who might re quire some stimulant after his fatiguing work, from refreshing himself with a generous glass of beer. (Great cheering.) On the question of the desecra tion of the Sabbath, he would not be so sanctimo nious as to wish to deprive persons from breathing fresh air and enjoying the light of the sun ; but he was not in favour of the opening of places of public amusement or dissipation. As to the application of the Maine Law, he did not think temperance could be enforced by Act of Parliament ; and if such an act were passed he thought it would be productive of hypocrisy, and would not prevent drinking in secret. On the question of reform he would go for household suffrage. Perhaps a house hold suffrage upon a . X 5 -rental would be the lowest entertained by the House of Commons. (Applause.) Vote by ballot was indispensable —(cheers)--and he would give his reasons. In voting sometimes in private matters he voted by baltot himself ; therefore, he did not see why the labourer and industrious man should not have the same security of voting secretly by ballot. (Cheers.) Another reason was that after the last election for Manchester he met, at the residence of a friend, one of the largest employers of labour in the whole community, and, in discussing with him the results of the election, he (Mr. Bazley) inti mated to him that he feared there had been in some quarters intimidation. (Hear, hear, and disappro bation,) " Intimidation!" said the gentleman, " Intimidation !" he again emphatically repeated, " why, if I had a man in my employ who didn't vote as I voted, I would _discharge him from my premises." (Cheers aid 'cries of " was a declaration of coercion of which he (Mr. Bazley) was ashamed. He was, therefore, tho roughly in favour of the ballot. (Cheers.) It had been tried successfully in Australia , and why not in the United Kingd9m? (Applause.)

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 Wypochrondriasis. 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 squally 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 Spermatorrhina 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 notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press. London : 11. Bailliere, 219, Regent-street. /ze which they now live was devised for them by Ear/ Grey. Of this system it is sufficient to say that it would be dangerous even if established among a people as sober and as trained in free institutions as the English. In the lonian Islands it has been foundentirely impracticable. The press was allowed perfect liberty. The Assembly, chosen by univer . sal suffrage and vote by ballot, elects the Senate; - and the Lord High Commissioner and the Senate together form the Executive. It is as if such a House of Commons as Mr. Bright would give us elected the Cabinet directly, and the Queen were bound to acquiesce in the choice. The lonians, so far from being - satisfied with this almost unlimited liberty, have only taken advantage of it to make government impossible. The press has teemed with libels againstthe Queen, the English Government, the English people, and the constituted-authorities of the islands. Nothing that is written in this country can give a notion of the foulness and viru lence of these compositions, which more resemble the reviling of the East than anything to which we are accustomed. The Assembly meets every year only to indulge in such frantic declamation as to insure its immediate prorogation, and last year even the ordinary precedent of violence and intemperance was grossly exceeded. It is to see if no remedy can be found for a state of things so untoward that •Mr. Gladstone goes out as Commissioner Extraordinary. The lonians may see in the selection of such a man how forbearing is the spirit of tie English Government. If they were the subjects of any other European Power their affairs would long ago have been put into the hands of some prompt old General, who at the first breath of sedition would send off half the Assembly to gaol. Our Government, after years of provocation, has selected a statesman of the highest repute, one eminent for his learning and eloquence, and for his sympathy with the land and the literature of the lonians, to inquire and to reform. He will proceed. to Corfu, and, without superseding the lord High Commissioner, will endeavour to remove the obsta cles which impede the working of Government. If the people have anything to complain of he will listen to their compisints, and the character of Mr. Gladstone gives every reason to believe• that he will be more apt to . • e faultetef his own countrymen than to Wig' of the natives. Should mission. the tranquilization of the islands it will afford a good precedent for availing ourselves hereafter of the services of our great Parliamentary statesmen on a wider_sphere of usefulness than the wordy contests of Westminster. SING TAR PROCEEDING. At the recent quarter sessions for the county of' Surrey a young man named James Clark, alias Mack, was convicted under very peculiar circum stances of the robbery of a young ladyin Richmond Park, and was thereupon sentenced to three years' penal servitude, there being very good ground for supposing, from what occurred at the trial, and from what has since transpired in reference to the matter, that the prisoner is totally innocent of the crime of which he was convicted. It appeared that the prosecutrix was walking in Richmond Park with several young lathes, when a man walked up to her and deliberately accosting her, said that he must have the watch and chain she was wearing. She told him that he should not, and he then attempted to strike her, but one of her companions came to her assistance and a scuffle took place, during which one of the young ladies was struck by the robber, and at length he made a snatch at the chain of the rrosecutrix, which broke, and he made off with a portion of it and one or two trinkets. The proseca trix immediately proceeded to the police-station at Richmond,• and gave information of what had oc curred, and at the same time gave a description of the man by whom the robbery had been effected, and it appeared that, in Consequence of this descrip tion, the prisoner Clark was taken into custody in the neighbourhood of Richmond a day or two after wards, and the prosecutrix immediately identified him as the thief; he at the same time strongly pro tested his innocence, and declared that he could prove that he was at work in London at the time the offence was committed. The magistrates, how ever, upon the evidence of the prosecutrix, felt tkemselves compelled to commit him, and the case came on for trial at the sessions. The prisoner had no counsel, but he made a most earnest and sensible speech to the jury on his own behalf, and after posi tively asserting his innocence he asked them whe ther it was likely, if he had committed such an offence so shortly before, that he should have gone to the very place where it occurred, and where he was almost certain to be taken into custody ? He said also he was told that the police had been making inquiries respecting a person who answered his description, and that if he had been doing anything wrong he had better " step it," and his reply was, that he had not been doing any thing that would make him silortfy alter tnis - naa occurred ne was taxen into custody. In addition to this, three witnesses were called who swore positively that at the time the robbery was alleged to have been committed in Richmond Park, the prisoner was employed in wood chopping at Westminster, and although these witnesses were severely cross-examined by Mr. Wood, the counsel for the prosecution, their evi dence was not shaken in any material particular, and the general impression in court *as that they were speaking the truth. The chairman evidently was impressed with this idea, for he summed up the case to the jury very strongly for an acquittal, but, to the surprise of almost every one present, they returned a verdict of " Guilty, " and the pri soner was thereupon sentenced to three years' penal servitude. The feeling, however, was so strong in the mind of the bench and bar in favour of the prisoner's innocence, that the sentence has not Tet been put in force, and the prisoner still remains in Horsemonger-lane, and it is understood that a memorial will be sent to the Secretary of State praying for a pardon for the prisoner, as from subsequent inquiries that have been made, there appears to be very little doubt that the wit nesses for the prosecution were mistaken in speak ing to his identity, and that he is really innocent of the crime of which he has been convicted. ANOTHER LARGE STEAMER DESTROYED BY FIRE. —A heavy loss to the underwriters at Lloyd's was made known yesterday by the receipt of a telegram from Bremen announcing the destruction by fire of the Hudson steamer, which took place on Tuesday night in the port of Bremer haven. The Hudson was a fine first-class iron paddle steamship, 2,500 tons register, belonging to the Bremen and New York line of mail packet steamers, and was compara tively a new vessel, having made but two or three trips. She was appointed to take her departure from Bremen on Saturday next, and is supposed to have been partly laden with cargo. Upwards of £70,000 is said to have been done on the ship at Lloyd's.
