Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature.

" 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.

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 wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had wined no les4 than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes 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 item 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.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.. 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li . centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &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 modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when 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 consequence s may be avoided, and, above all, th a t there is derangementscarce scarcely yanydegree of physical infirmity o r f unc ti ona l which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

That gentleman reached St. Petersburg in May, 1856, af... tamed his passport to go through Russia to the Pacific Ocean in October in that year. He pro ceeded eastward • soon afterwards, through Russia Proper, Western and Eastern Siberia, and Trans- Baikal, and having visited the Mongolian Chinese frontier town of Maimattschin, through which the Russo Chinese trade passes, he descended the river Amoor at the latter end of 1857. He then visited Hakodadi, in Japan ; Petropaulovsky, in Kams chatka ; and thence he went to Honolulu, in the Sandwich Islands, arriving at Washington, via San Francisco and Panama, in Feb., 1858, after an absence of two years, during which period he had travelled 30,000 miles. The following is the substance of :Mr. Collins's despatches relative to the great Amoor river, which has just been added to the Russian dominions, and of the valley through which it flows : " The Amoor enters the Straits of Tartary in about lat. 54 N., and making a great sweep to the south-west pierces the centre of the Chinese state of Manchooria, and with its more southern branches interlocks with the streams towards the more southern portions of China in the direction of Pekin and Corea, then, bending to the north and west in its main channel, seeks the dividing waters of that gig-antic system of rivers that find their way into the Frozen Ocean. Ascending the Amoor to the west, you enter upon the route of the great Russian overland interior commerce, which finally conducts you to the imperial marts of Mos,cow and St. Peters burg. "From Ouse Strclkah, at the head of the Amoor, to the Orgoon tributary, the bed of the great river is mica slate, with small veins of quartz often visible upon the banks, and with good indications of gold in the small rivulets that fall into the main stream. Midway between the Oldoy and the Albasin, a southern tributary, the formation is clay slate ; and near the Albasin, cornelian, inferior chalcedony, and a few stones of siliceous formation arc found. From the Albasin to the Simelsky the shores arc mostly sandy until you reach a short distance below the latter stream, where, on the left shore, syenite is seen. Before reaching the Kahmara, there are cliffs of yellow sand, where amygdaloid mixed with decomposed earths, at the foot of which were cornelian, chalcedony, and agate. Below the Kahmara granite is again seen. From above the sea to below the Booreya the banks are generally sandy ; and the country around is a plain prairie. From thence to the Garen is found trap, feld spar, flinty slate, and green stone ; from the Geren to the Amgoon is mostly green stone. As you approach the sea, nearly up to Nicolaivsky, granite is again found ; and immediately upon the sea coast is lime. stone. The Hingan range of mountains is reputed to be rich in gold. " The valley of the Amoor covers, from west to east, 40 deg. of longitude, and 13 deg. of latitude from south to north, having for its northern and western boundaries the Altai, Yablonovey, and Stanovey mountains. Its southern boundaries are the head waters of the Hongharee, the Onsuree, the Songharee, the Albasin, and the Argoon. Its eastern boundaries are the Straits of Tartary, the Okholsk, and the Japan sea. The valley of Amoor is situated relatively . to Southern Asia as the valley of the St. Lawrence is to southern North America, supposing that the Hudson, the Ohio and its tri butaries, and the Illinois, emptied into the lakes, instead of running off to the south and east. " Within the vast area of the Amoor valley is found every natural requisite for the habitation of 50 millions of human beings, with climate, soil, pro ductions, minerals, and forests. Game is found in the greatest abundance, the wilds abound with the most valuable fur animals, the rivers teem with fish and fowl, while the mountains yield gold, silver, copper, iron and coal. " The Amoor river is of much beauty, and combines many of the varieties of the picturesque, the beauti ful, and grand, of such rivers as the Hudson, the Conntcticut, the Ohio, and the Mississippi, with the San Joaquin, and Sacramento of California. As to its size and navigable qualities, it may be compared with the Mississippi, leaving out the Missouri, Red, and Arkansas rivers. It contains hundreds ofislands, ..kAa Lbiaaci taiuLes. T2 LI reaches are often grand and extensive ; white snow capped mountains, rugged sierras, and smoking vol canoes, add beauty and grandeur to the scenery. "The country bordering upon the Amoor may be divided into three distinct regions, according to the nature of its shores. From Ouse Strclkah, at the head of the Amoor, to the Zca, a distance of 700 miles, is a mountainous country, with numerous bends, having considerable fertile bottom-land, covered with excellent grass ; and is well but not heavily timbered with white and black birch, pitch pine, fir and larch, and inferior oak, and linden. From the Zca to the Hongharee, a distance of 800 miles, the air is mild and the water warm. From the Zea to the Songharee the mountain ridges recede towards the south. The soil is good, and the timber chiefly consists of birch, oak, ash, maple, cork, and elm ; and in the distant mountains cedar, pine, and larch. The land here is covered with innumerable flowers of rich and varied hues, and the grape vine and grass grow to luxurious perfection. " From the Hongharee to the Straits of Tartary, a distance of 600 miles, the region is covered with dense forests. The country gradually rises from the Onsuree to the coast, forms a mountainous district, which declines abruptly at the sea. The climate on the sea coast up to 300 miles is very severe, the snow in winter coming down in fierce and over powering storms. " From Ouse Strclkah to the Zea the coast is in habited by the Tonguse tribe. From the Zea to the Hingau mountains the inhabitants are chiefly Man choo and Chincse. Alone. the Hingau mountains is a Tonguesean race, and from the Songhai.) to the Garia there is a mixed race of Manchoo-Tartar and Tonguse. A slightly different race inhabits the country below the Onsuree. Between the Amoor Onsuree and the sea-coast south of De Castries the country is inhabited by a semi-nomadic people ; and along the shores of the Amoor for several hun dred miles from its mouth there is a people different from any already mentioned. The native or semi civilised tribes number less than 10,000 souls. The whole population of Manchooria has been estimated at from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000, and the Mongols from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000. The head of the Amoor is 5,220 miles, and the mouth 7,220 miles from St. Petersburg. The mouth of the river is 2,800 miles from the Sandwich Islands ; 3,800 from the mouth of the Columbia river, in Oregon ; 4,200 from San Francisco ; 1,000 from lakodadi (Japan); and 1,600 from Shanghai. " The head of the Amoor is in 53 deg. 30 min., and the mouth is in 53 deg. 15 min. north lat. The mean of the thermometer in June at the head of the river was 59, and 68 at the mouth in Ausust. On sonic days between June and August the-tempera ture on the Amoor in a boat was 82 deg. in the shade. The Russians were delighted when they ob served the spontaneous growth of the grape on the shore of the Amoor, as that fruit is unknown in Siberia or in Central Russia. The growth of the grape vine, the pea, clover, asparagus, the straw berry and poppy on the Amoor attests the superior agricultural and razing qualities of the country. " The commercial system of the Amoor Govern ment is separate and distinct from the general sys tem of Russia in Europe. Commerce entering the Amoor is free for five years from 1856. There are no lighthouses, tonnage dues, or port charges. Nine or i merchant ships and steamers entered the steamers, 1857, chiefly American. Two Russian a riN and nearly 300 Russian barges, rafts, s and boats were plying in the river in that year. 1 , 0 Cossacks s were to emigrate into the Amoor country in 188, and the Grand Duke Constantine was to descend the river. The currency on the river is Russian bank (paper), silver roubles ; American . gold s being at par to 5 percent.. premium. o A u m m e c r o ie m an nlan M a ex l i o ca t n o , Russian, and Spanish silver 15 per cent. premium. 6 ' A commercial company, called the Society of th e Amoor, has been established in St. Petersburg to de velope the commerce of the great liver, which has received the sanction of the Emperor, and which has many special privileges for a t erm o f 25 years. " The great river is formed by the junction of the Schilkah and Argoon; the Lugadah is also one of its feeders. It is susceptible of navigation the whole length by steam, and steamers of light draught could enter its head from near Chetah, the capital of Trans-Baikal, through the Lugadah. By a few hundred mil es o f ra il way the A moor could be con nected commerc: ally NN ith the three great r'y srs, tl • Lena, the Obi, and the Jenisea, which drain the whole of Siberia, and then flow into the Icy Sea. Boats of a peculiar construction can reach within a few hundred miles of Pekin, from the Amoor up through its greatest southern tributary, the Song , haree. " Nicolaivsky, the chief Russian town on the Amor, is built about 20 miles from its mutt. It has become the Russian seat of government for the province of the eastern coast of Siberia, The best THE StiN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1858.

The following letter has been addressed to a contemporary : Sir,—As an inhabitant of St. James's for some years, perhaps you will allow me an equal right, with " An Inhabitant of Old Bond-street," to say a word about the Argyll Rooms, about which so much twaddle has been written and spoken. I will say at once that never did I read so weak and so unphilosophical an argument as that contained in the letter of the above-named correspondent, who speaks with such a plentiful show of gravity of the " social evil within gilded walls." Perhaps one man's opinion is as valuable as any other's upon any subject that involves the public interest. I am myself of opinion that there is just reason to scout the Argyll Rooms as stimulant in the propagation and encouragement of vice and harlotry. Of course, I am not so mad-brained as to assert that vice does not enter there; but as I am continually in the immediate neighbourhood of Great Windmill-street, it may be conceded that I have as good, if not a bet • ter, opportunity to judge of what is going on in that locality as any "Inhabitant of Old Bond-street" —were he as big as Goliath, or as wise as the man of Gotham. _ _ I most emphatically aver that the closing of the Argyll Rooms was no improvement to the neigh bourhood of St. lames's, as it was so strongly as serted it would be. The neighbourhood of the Haymarket and Piccadilly did not throw off its spangle suit and put on one of sable; on the con m•94.Q of this second Memphis, this re vival of another Pandemonium, increased in lewd ness to the very perfection of public disgust. This is a fact that will be testified to by every resident in Windmill-street. Surely, Mr. Editor, if the wayward lasses of this fecundating metropolis never perpetrate anything worse than a dance, they will not do much harm; and the fact is indisputable, that Mr. Bignell has ever conducted his establishment with all due de corum and a necessary observance of public morality. Nothing that would shock any one possessing a grain of common sense is ever permitted to take place there ; and if the fact requires any substantiation, that a respectable and virtuous woman has ever entered within 'these " gilded walls," I am pre pared to assert that this has occurred—ay, with an affidavit, if needs be. The immortal Shakspere has well said (and the sentence is peculiarly fitted as an illustration of the bitterness with which Mr. Bignell has been assailed),— " Take physic, pomp; Expose thyself to feel what 'wretches feel, So that thou may'st cast the superfluous to them And show the heavens more just." With your good leave, Mr. Editor, I would fur ther counsel your correspondent never again to speak of persons and circumstances, without first possessing himself of the correct facts, as the neglect of this in a writer is a most serious fault. Had he known the " baker opposite the casino" (who he singles out individually for his strictures, notwith standing the fact that he had no more to do-in the business than the rest of his neighbours, and that extended simply to a conscientious opinion), he would not have offered such an insult to him as he has done in the impression of your widely circulated paper of the 24th ult. The "bakers"' 1 name (for nature has endowed him with one), I must inform your correspondent, is Alexander; and I have not the least doubt list that the situa tion "in which it has pleased God to place him" is quite as honest as that of the " Inha bitant of Old Bond-street," whatever his profession may be. Allow me to state, moreover, Mr. Editor, simply as a matter of justice, that I have known Mr. Alexander ever since I came out of my swad dling clothes ; and as the son of a tradesman, and a housekeeper, who has been a parishoner of St. James's for sixteen years, and St. Anne's for twenty five, assert that there is not a more straightforward or religious man to be found in any of the Pures of St. James's than he is. If there were the least fear of contradiction in this regard, Mr. Editor, I should not be bold enough to make this assertion thus openly to you, and in the face of his neighbours. With regard to the " keeping open" his shop late at night, every one of common understanding is aware that the unhappy journeyman baker corn ' mences his labours when most other good-ordered - n "- i" a«ma of R..TTI Tlll C ,111 that, as a cons'quence, it is absolutely necessary that the master-baker, or somebody else, should sit up to admit his mea to their nightl y labour. Mr. Alexander, howf , ver, does not keep his shop open till this hour ; he closes shortly after ten, and merely opens his door at the requisite time, simply that his men may walk through space, and not through beech. Will the purists deny him this liberty and right ? Let me beg to observe, in conclusion, Mr. Editor, that I do not for one moment doubt the honesty— so far as principle goes—of your correspondent, and, therefore, acquit him of any malignant intent. I believe, with others, he has made a great mistake in this questio vexata ; and, upon the principle of audi aiterain partem, beg you will favour an old subscriber to your paper with the insertion of this statement—Your obedient servant, B. W. W. Great Crown-court, Windmill-street. DEPUTATION TO THE BISHOP OF LONDON. Yesterday afternoon a deputation of the inhabi tants of Camden-town waited upon the Bishop of London at London-house, St. James's-square, for the purpose of calling his lordship's attention to the scandalous proceedings connected with the ex humation of human remains, and the desecration of the dead, at St. Martin's Cemetery, Camden-town. Mr. J. B. Lee, the bishop's secretary, and Mi. J. Shepherd, registrar of the Consistorial Court, were in attendance on his lordship to receive the depu tation, which was introduced by the Rev. E. Spooner, M.A., incumbent of Holy Trinity Church, Haverstock-hill. . Mr. STRETTON, on behalf of the deputation, laid the circumstances of the complaint, with which our readers are already familiar, before the bishop, and in conclusion observed that for the sake of the peace of the neighbourhood, as well as for the interests of the church, it became necessary that something should be done to put an end to the scandal and nuisance of which they complained. The'Bishop of LONDON said he could fully sym pathise in the disgust to which such proceedings had given rise. To him it appeared that there were two parties to be blamed. First, the parliament of the country, over which neither of them had any control; and secondly, those who, upon false representations, had obtained the faculty in . question. It was his opinion that as that authority bad been issued upon certain representations, the moment those repre sentations were found to be false, the authority of the faculty fell to the ground. He did not . think tt4t., ere a l irrY,7 l. Dr iiri•Mnrt;*NirlisllnvorluPlci $ n +1.., to revoke it. As far as he himself was concerned, he would most gladly give them the whole of his personal support, by strongly representing to Mr. Humphrey, the vicar of St. Martin's, and Mr. Dangerfield, the parochial solicitor, the danger both to health and public peace of further proceeding with the work until the Consistory Court had de cided the matter. Mr. SHEPHERD confirmed his lorhship's view of the case, and mentioned that although there was no regular court day, the sittings of the judge being regulated by the amount of business, yet under such extraordinary circumstances, Dr. Twiss would, in order to allay public excitement, wil lingly fix a day for the early hearing of the case. ELECTION OF MAYORS. BRADFORD.—At the election of a mayor in the room of Henry Brown, Esq., Alderman Beaumont, who was carried by a majority at a private meet ing, was proposed by Alderman Wright, and no other candidate was nominated.

DEATH OF THE DEAN OF ELY.—We regret to announce the death of the Very Rev. Dr. Geo. Peacock, D.D., Dean of Ely, after a long and most serious illness. The late Dean graduated at Trinity College, Cambridge, in. 1813, when he came out second wrangler, the senior wrangler of the year being Sir John Herschel. The deanery is in the gift of the Crown, and is the important piece of clerical preferment which the Earl of Derby has been called upon to bestow. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—Madame Moet, the celebrated proprietor of the Champagne vineyards, whose daughter was married the other day , has j ust met w it h her death in a most extraordinary manner. She was gathering flowers in a garden, when she felt herself bitten by a fly. She thought nothing of the slight puncture, but in the evening her face began to swell, and a few days afterwards she died in intense agony. It is supposed that the fly must have fed upon putrid flesh. rkiivEwrisxmExr.) Holloway's Pills. Cure of Astit me.—Extract of a letter from Mr. Wild, of Hyde, Cheshire, dated August 5, 1854 :—" To Professor Hollo way—Sir,—Mrs. Newton, residing in Hanover-street, in this town, was afflicted with asthma for many yearr,li di culty of breathing, and a violent cough, causing acute pains in her side, more particularly when she took cold ; she tried many remedies, and consulted different indivi duals, without any benefit. I then advised her to take your Tills, and after a few weeks she was considerably better, and by persevering with them, she is now perfectly cured. These inestimable pills, in the worst case of asthma, will give immediate relief, and- effect, sooner or later, a per , =neat cure." THE ..IRMY. Orders have been issued from the War Depart ment to the officers commanding the East India de pot battalions, directing the following troops to be held in readiness to embark at Gravesend to-mor row, on board the Gertrude, for Calcutta, for the purpose of reinforcing the British regiments now serving in Bengal, viz., 1 officer of the 19th Regi ment, 1 officer of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and 9 men of the 35th, from Chatham ; 1 officer of the 6th Dragoon Guards, and 1 officer of the 9th Lancers, from Maidstone ; 1 officer and 65 men of the 7th Hussars, and 10 men of the 90th Light In fantry, from Canterbury ; 1 officer and 20 men of the 'lst battalion 6th Regt., 1 officer and 30 men of the 34th, 30 men of the 37th, 12 men of the 88th, and 14 men of the 97th (Earl of Ulster's), from Col chester ; and 1 officer and 66 gunners of the Royal Artillery, from Woolwich. Yesterday 38 non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the 3d (Prince of Wales's) Dragoon Guards,(King's Own), 18th (Royal Irish), 33d, 56th, 7 2 d, 78th, 83 d l , 4h 8 t 6t h, Light an Dragoons, a 05th Reg i ments, who have re cently arrived at Chatham from India, where they were wounded or disabled, proceeded from St. Mary's Barracks to Fort Pitt Hospital for medical inspection, in order to ascertain the number of men to be recommended to a Chelsea board for discharge on account of their un6iness for further service. At the conclusion of the inspection 20 men, *ho were pronounced convalescent, received orders to hold themselves in readiness to join their respective regi ments. The two battalions of Royal Marines stationed at Woolwich, in command of Col. Stransham, recently appointed commandant of that division, were yes terday brigaded on Woolwich-common, and were subjected to a lengthened course of heavy battalion movements, the whole of which were performed with admirable precision. Gabriel Bryans, a private of the Woolwich divi sion of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, recently convicted by garrison court•martial of being absent from duty, and of having made awaywith his kit, was sentenced to undergo the punishment of 50 lashes, and to be further imprisoned in the gaol of Fort Clarence for 84 days. The prisoner has been many years in the corps, has suffered every kind of punishment and disgrace, and is pronounced irre claimable. On the recommendation of the comman ...... Vaac p "'A S. commuted to 42 days' imprisonment, making a total of 126 days' confinement in Fort Clarence. ABRIDGED NOTES OF A CRUISE BY HER MAJESTY'S SHIP IRIS. Her Majesty's ship Iris, Captain Loring, arrived on the 6th inst. from her cruise to the South Sea Islands, principally to inquire into the murder of the crew of the Gazelle, by the natives of Wood lark Island ; and the death of Captain Outtrim, of the Ann and Jane, who was killed while landing at Tana. The following is an extract from her report : June 30.—Anchored of Black Beach, Tana ; the Terror, Edwards ; New Forest, Mare, Hirondelle, Rodd, were at anchor, trading with the natives. Seised Wan-Attaway, chief of the Wagus tribe, who murdered the captain and part of the crew of the schooner Anne and Jane. July I.—Moved to Wagus, fired a few rounds of shot and shell to clear the savages from the woods; the small-arm party then landed under the com mand of Lieutenants Deane and Bell, RN., the marines under Lieut. Bent, R.M., accompanied by the boats of the sandal-wood traders. The party burnt several villages, and destroyed great quanti ties of cocoanut and bread-fruit trees, also bannana, yams, &c. Unfortunately Mr. Edward M. Tupper, mate, Capt. Barrack, and two men were separated in the dense underwood from the main party; sur rounded by great numbers of savages. Capt. Bar rack and one seaman made their way through them and regained the party. Mr. Tupper and Mr. Ken nedy, captain of hold, were killed. Mr. Tupper's body was immediately after recovered ; Kennedy's we never saw. About two p.m. the party re embarked. - - July 2.—Landing party again proceeded on shore, and continued the work of destruction, the savages not attempting to molest them. Made sail, and buried Mr. Tupper's body. Anchored off Black Beach. It is impossible to ascertain even the pro bable number of savages killed, their own reports being the only authority ; but as the only object was to destroy property, and not life, it is not likely that many were kill e d. The effect on the islanders, we hear, has been very good ; they now dread the visit of • " fighting. ship." July B.—Anchored in billon's Bay, Erromango, landed Wan-Attaway, chief of the Wagus tribe, and placed him in custody of Capt. Edwards. July 21.—Arrived at Woodlark Island ; going in the ship struck upon a rock; the harbour is dan- Ferous, being full of detached rock, and the passage intricate ; for several days the strong trade wind prevented our doing anything. July 27.—The landing party, under the same officers as at Tana, proceeded on shore, burnt the villages, canoes, and other property of the Guasup tribe, as a punishment for the murder of the crew of the Gazelle, in 1855 ; the savages offered no opposition. The canoes and houses of the Wood lark islanders were much superior to any of the other islanders. It was clearly explained to two of the natives. who understood a little English, the reason this punishment was inflicted. The Sydney Morning Herald remarks on the above as follows : Her Majesty's ship Iris has returned from a cruise in that part of the island-world known as Melanesia, undertaken for the purpose of investigating and punishing certain murderous attacks upon white traders in that quarter. Only two places, however, have been visited for this purpose Tana and Woodlark Island. At Tana (one of the new He brides) a good many islanders have been killed, the village and trees destroyed, and the chief of the offending tribe carried away. At Woodlark Island, a village and canoes, &C., have been de stroyed. The people of three villages at this island were combined in the cold-blooded slaughter of the Gazelle's crew, but only one has been visited with punishment. Of the two white captives said to be detained at this place we hear nothing. At Tana two officers of the Iris were cut off by the natives from the main body and were killed. The people of Tana have long borne a very bad name. Like the rest of the New Hebrideans, they are of the Papuan (or Polynesian Negro) race ; their stature is very low, both physically and socially. But we have heard rumours of some terrible acts of cruelty among these people by white visitors and traders, in times not very remote, and it is hard to say how far some of the worst acts of the Wanders may not have been of a retaliatory character, rather than the outbreaking of sheer bloodthirstiness. The visit of a man-of-war was necessary, and if these visits were more frequent it would be better. It is probable that ere long there will be a British consul resident at the new Hebrides, where such an cofaceZ is much needed. GALWAY AND LIMERICK- We have frequently visited the ancient city of ' Limerick, which dates its first mayoralty from the time of Richard the First, ten years before London obtained that distinction. We have admired its fine public buildings, and its active trade in the export of Irish produce ; but notwithstanding all the fos tering care of Spring Rice (now Lord Monteagle), high Parliamentary influence, and the commercial enterprise of the Russells, Spreights, and other ex tensive merchants, Limerick has not progressed so rapidly as a commercial port as it should have done under such auspices, for what reason we are not now prepared to say. A very late, untimely, and, we must say, very ungenerous attempt, has been recently made by the leading men of that city, to divert the attention of the Government from Galway as a packet station, to the port of Foynes on the Shannon. about 20 miles below Limerick. ,These gentlemen remained quiescent, allowing their Parliamentary influence to be useless, until they were aroused from their slumbers by a tocsin of alarm front the ancient " Citie of the Tribes," announcing the fact over and over again, that the men of Galway had successfully accomplished their long-desiderated object—the establishment of a line of transatlantic packets. We are really surprised that they should make such an unhandsome attempt at this late hour, after so many packets have already sailed from Galway to New York, and arrived therefrom carrying full cargoes of passengers and goods both ways, and establishing the long-disputed but great desidera tum, that two days' time is saved by adopting this route. The men of Limerick would act much more generously under such circumstances were they now to retrace their steps ; and, instead of perse vering in their present course, throw all their influence into the Galway scale. Galway deserves all praise and all honour for the active and busi ness-like manner in which it has conducted the " lever" committed to its care ; and we are happy to know that not only the general public, but the Government think so, and are determined to give them their support. The southern position of Foynes, if there was no other reason, is its great obstacle, and one quite strong enough to ignore its claims against one hold ing out equal, if not better, advantages as to har bour accommodation, and with the possession of a central position that commands, by means of a direct railway line from Belfast to Galway, the whole staple trade of Ulster, and the great marts of Lancashire and Scotland combined. In this great and essential object Galway stands unrivalled, and defies opposition, let Liverpool and Limerick do what they may. No coloured statements, no mis representations, no systematised opposition, can upset her in this respect, or in another equally important, that she stands at the nearest point in Great Britain to the shores of the Americas. We are glad to find by the Galway Vindicator, that since " the,ppening of the steam communica tion between Galway and America by Mr. Lever's line, the general trade of that port has greatly in creased. Her fine and spacious docks are now filled with foreign and coasting vessels, discharging valuable cargoes. The comparatively busy aspect of the dock is quite gratifying, hundreds of men being employed at good wages in discharging, load inn., coaling, and ballasting the ships, and carrying the goods to and from the several merchants' stores, besides the crowds of navvies, masons, &c., at work in the extension of the railway down to the docks. The outlay of money for provisioning these vessels, the expenditure of the crews, and other sources of outlay connected with their arrival and departure, also form not unimportant features in relation to the improved and improving commercial fortunes of GAlway: —rB elfas Jfe_rontile Journal', SEWS PAP Eli: Nst,A ~k , ..,,.... f„, entrance to the Amoor as yet disco l l.

There is scope 24tiun - 7- introduction of foreign merchandise to the i S - of millions sterling annually into Siberia, Trans- Baikal, Manchooria, and Mongolia, by means of the Amoor and its affluents, and there is a great desire throughout those countries for foreign trade. All trade hitherto has come to Trans-Baikal from Western Russia, and is occupying nearly two years in its transit, at an expense of between X4O and £5O - a ton. " Coal has been found in two places on the Amoor but it is not of good quality. Upon the western shore of the island of Sakhahlin, which faces the mouth of Amoor, there are extensive deposits of coal already mined by the Russian Government. American engine have . pronounced it to be of good quality, Tii(l supply is said to be inexhaus tible and easy of access. " Situated on the Amoor is a Chinese convict colony called Ingoon. The population is about 15,000. " The Russians have two harbours considerably to the south of the mouth of the Amoor, to one of which, opposite the Japan coast, communication can be had all the year round. From this harbour easy access overland can be had to one of the great affluents of the Amoor, which rises far to the south in Manchooria. " About 150 miles from the mouth of the Amoor, at a place called Teer or Tyr, are two monuments of sienite, with inscriptions on them, relating to the dynasty of the Great Mogul Ghengis Khan. Tho Russian trade from the shores of the Ok hutsk Sea, Kamschatka, and the western coast of America, was obliged, previous to the Russian pos session of the Amoor, to make a considerable northern detour through Yahoutsk and Ayan." CONVOCATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. Yesterday an adjourned meeting of the Convo cation of the University of London—the second under its new charter of incorporation—was held in Burlington House, Piccadilly, Dr. C. J. Foster in the chair. At the commencement of the protracted proceed ings the meeting was very numerously,attended. The first business on the paper was the considera tion of the Report of the Committee of Convocation as to the constitution of the Convocation itself, and the mode in which its busineas should be in future conducted; and the chairman having moved that the report be taken as read, it having been in the hands of members for some time, Dr. BRINTON moved, as an amendment, that the question as to the election of a representative of the University on the medical counsel, under the act of last session, which stood fifth on the list upon the paper, should take precedence. There was a large attendance of the medical graduates of the University, and the decision of the Convocation as to the matter in dispute would, in all probability, determine the question whether they should or should not continue to be members of Convocation in future. After some.discussion, in which much warmth of feeling was displayed, the amendment was carried by a large majority. Dr. HUMBLE then moved—" That it is the opinion of Con Vocation that the Member of the Gmeral Council of Medical Education and Regis tration of the United Kingdom, to be chosen by the University of London under the Medical Act, should be chosen by the whole university, which consists of the chancellor, vice-chancellor, fellows, and graduates." In support of this resolution the doctor stated that at the close of last session an act was passed for the better regulation of the medical profession, and for the distinguishing between qua lified a id non-qualified practitioners. Among other provisions it constituted a medical council, to be appointed by the medical corporations, and to in clude (me representative each from the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, and London. Tho senate of the London University had appointed Dr. Storar as representative of the University, and he contended at great length that by so doing they had acted illegally. The various clauses of the charter which treated of the corporate action of the Uni versity, nowhere recognised the senate as having such a power. It was true that the senate had acted upon the opinion of counsel, but he denied that it was justified by the charter, which distinctly , constituted the whole university, namely, the chan cellor, the vice-chancellor, the fellows, and the graduates, the governing body. The appointment of the representative of the university at the medi cal council by the senate was therefore not only iliecal. but a usurpation of the nowerg of 41-to wholo body—it was an attempt to trample upon the pri vileges of the graduates which ought to be re sisted to the last, and whatever might be the decision of that meeting, matter could not rest where it was. If it decided against his motion, the question must be carried into the Court of Queen's Bench, or whatever other tribunal might be the proper one, and if ultimately decided adversely it would alienate from the Uni versity the great body of medical graduates who claimed a right to have a voice in the election of the representative of the University on the medical council. (Cheers.) The motion having been seconded, Mr. LITTLER moved an amendment to the effect that the opinion of the counsel upon which the senate had acted in appointing Dr. Storar was not only not decisive, but was totally and entirely er roneous, and in proof of that fact he quoted the opinion of Mr. Edward James, of the Northern Circuit, to whom a case had been submitted, and who, upon a full consideration of the charter, gave his opinion that the election did not rest either with the senate or the convocation, but with the whole body of the University ; and, further, that Dr. Storar might be remored from his position by a writ of quo warranto. Mr. G. JESSEL, M.A., to whom the question had been referred by this Senate, la conjunction with their ordinary law adviser, T. Tomlinson, Esq., explained that he had come to its consideration with the most earnest desire to find the graduates entitled to the power for which they contended ; but the result was that he found himself com pelled to come to the conclusion that the power vested in the senate, as the governing body of the corporation ; and he hoped that, as he would not venture to pronounce an opinion on a surgical question, the medical members of the University would not rashly decide upon a legal ques tion, which decision might afterwards render con vocation ridiculous. He moved, as the best means of disposing of the matter, the previous question. Dr. BARRATT did not agree either in the motion or the amendment. It was clear that the question must be decided elsewhere ; and after hearing the statements that had been made to convocation, he moved, as another amendment, that as it appeared there were conflicting legal opinions on the subject, the convocation regretted that the election had been made by the senate before the opinion of the con, vocation had been taken on the subject. (Hear.) Mr. JESSEL withdrew his amendment in favour of this proposition, which was seconded by Dr. QUAIN. Dr. WOOD (a member of the senate) e xplained that he was in favour of postpon in g the election f e n counsel,t a ken bunuttitl h t a h t e it o p m i , n a i s o n madeof coTit-ohcea t a i u o c onvocation o h r a i d t y been. and at the urgent instance of the Government, who wished to appoint th eir representative. Mr. WAYLEY moved, as another amendment, that the question at issue should be submitted to the law officers of the Crown, and that in the mean time the senate suspend the confirmation of the minute appointing Dr. Storar. This amendment was seconded by Mr. SPENCER ; and after CHAIRMAN, some fu on puttingrtherdiscu discussion, the sion the questions to the vote, declared that both amendments were carried by a large majority, and the original motion negatived. The report of the committee appointed by con vocation on the 4th May, to provide a working constitution and a set of standing orders for the conduct of its business, was then, on the motion of the Chairman, taken as read and received. Mr. JESSEL at some length explained the:various points in the report, which afterwards became the subject of a debate confined exclusively to technical points, and which occupied the remainder of a pro longed sitting. At the same time a protracted and occasionally personal debate ensued, in the course of which Dr. STORAR, amidst loud cheers, said he had counselled the postponement of the election, and had, during the time the question was before Par liament, repeatedly urged upon Government and members of Parliament the necessity for strictly and plainly defining the electoral body. In the course of the proceedings a nomination of six persons to be submitted to her Majesty to fill vacant fellowships took place. The scrutineers reported that out of seventeen candidates the election had fallen on T. S. Osler, LL.B., J. Storar, M.D., W. A. Miller, M.D., G. 8 . A., and R. H. Jessel, M.A., J. G. Greenwood , Hutton, M.A. After a protracted sitting the convocation was adjourned to consider the other questions on the paper, namely, a building for the University—its Parliamentary r epresentation—and the regulations as to degrees in arts, adopted by the senate on the 7th July //,1,4
