ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHIEA; 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 Hypochrondriasis. 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."—Londou 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. " 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. • 68, 69, and 58, Baker-street.

TRORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- firtiefficacious It is onl y a short time since this singularly cle of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its cebrity is wo r ld- w id e. It has been a subject of wonder, and h elas w puzzled many a bain to explain ow this has been brought about. Yet hen r we are acquainted h with a few facts concer n i ng the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, !t gentl eman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " Perfect b ag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's fo o d ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no l ess than 12 stones. Again we find at the rate 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 3 , title. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to: t o conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own _Lingle merits and the ATeat demand for it can p r oceed alone f rom the ..00dopinion and testimony of those will who have tried it. All parties' interested in horses and cattle do well to apply to 77, Newgate - street, London, for a pamphlet which i s 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 Manitbod, and prematur' 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 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.

Imagine, ribaldry and debauchery, fed beer-shops, day after day, nigh and frightful action. I protet own judicial experience in thi not for drain-shops and houses of c my office of Recorder would be almost a,sinecure, and that bar would be as empty as it is at this moment, and your gaol, comparatively speaking, deserted. But, gentlemen, while we condemn and abhor those who frequent, and who keep, these haunts of infernal infamy—let me ask whether the cause, to which I have adverted, does not largely contribute to the evil ? I mean a home made so hateful by squalid filth, poverty, and want—absolutely forcing. im morality and crime on the wretched inmates—that anything is prefeTable to it ; and whether large allowances should not be made by a wise humanity ? But, gentlemen, how very ea .w it is to talk in this way—to talk sincerely, and listen earnestly, and with a sense of conviction, too ; and then think no more of it, and do nothing ; but in due time, be ready again to talk, again to listen, and again to d 3 nothing ; till towards, or at, the end of life, a sudden appalling scene of neglected opportunity— afkn t oo l ebtc corroborates observations mtee whole life-time's opportunity neglected—rises up w too late ! e G eaca e enls i d i es t ii : tt e y in ol e . before the departing spirit—but, alas ! then, con siderations to you.

Gmtle men, before I dismiss you to your duties, I must say provestb i f s ore session's theme that the retrospect of the last year is not cheering, with one exception—l mean the retrospect alone with which we are here concerned as adminis trators of justice. We see the aspect of the last twelve months discoloured and blackened b . y com mercial frauds of the deepest dye, covering not. their illiterate and ignorant but thar well-educated and well-to-do perpetrators with infamy, and scat tering destruction far dnd wide on their innocent victims and unsuspecting dupes. Oh ! gentlemen, what are the petty frauds and wrongs with which we have here mostly to deal, yet in respect of which we brand the culprit with the blighting imprint of " felon," compared with those monstrous and atro cious systems of villany which will make this year 1838 close with gloom, mid misery, and ruin, to so many who little expected it at the bright opening of the year? And I must add that another dread ful characteristic of the year, in our retrospect, is the prevalence of crimes of violence and murder ; but upon them I will not dwell, for I wish to recur, in conclusion, to the exception—the one bright spot in the darkness—to which I just now alluded: I mean the steady success of the reformatory system. I, for one, am watching it closely and calmly, de precating over-sanguineness and spurious senti mentality as strongly as any one can, and greatly grieved to see any tendency to exaggerate success, and _under-estimate difficulties. Gentlemen, it 14 a very great experiment which we are trying —trying with general prudence and energy ; and as far as I can obtain trustworthy iY.formation, I verily believe that the experiment is succeeding, and will succeed more and more as it is appreciated and persevered with; and of this I can assure you that our own criminal statistics afford striking and conclusive evidence. If we meet again this time next year, may I be able to speak and you to hear on this subject with still greater satisfaction and exultation. Gentlemen, I feel it my duty to make charges of this kind to you, because I believe them calculated—as they are intended—to ;et gentlemen in your responsible position thinking, then acting, perseveringly and successfully. EXECUTION AT LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. At noon this day Henry Reid, aged 38, was exe cuted at Kirkdale Gaol, for strangling his wife, Susannah Reid, at Manchester, on - the 23d Sept. last. The unhappy man had passed the period since his sentence in calm and reflective quiet, awaiting his fate with resignation, and not buoyed up with the hope of mercy. Although not an educated, still he was not an uninformed man. He was not, how ever, a man of active intellect, and his conduct since his sentence had been that of passive and patient docility. Although the rain had kept off during the morn ing, and it was wet only under foot, the event did not prove so attractive as previous executions have done. Calcraft arrived at the gaol in the forenoon. He seemed pretty well in health, and quite cairn and cool in demeanour. About 11 o'clock he took a walk out with one of the officials of the prison, and went to an adjoining public-house, where he re quested that dinner might be ready for him at one o'clock. The crowd were on the whole exceedingly orderly and there wad, generally speaking, an absence of those indecorous scenes so frequently witnessed. The number of persons on the ground was about 3,000. At 12 o'clock Calcraft and the culprit made their appearance upon the scaffold. The execu tioner was dressed in black. He held the rope in one hand and the white cap in the other. Reid was florid in the face, but appeared to maintain his firm ness. None of the other officials were seen from the outside, but the voice of the chaplain could be heard repeating the prayers used en such occasions. Ca'craft placed the cap over the culprit's head, ad justed the rope, shook hands with the prisoner, stepped back, and drew the fatal bolt. Immediately on suspension the back of the culprit turned round to the crowd, and remained in that position. The sufferings of the poor wretch appeared to be intense. His arms, shoulders, head, and neck moved convulsively for the space of three or four minutes, and the persons in the crowd audibly complained of what they considered the unskilful. manner in which the rope had been adjusted. Reid died without having made a confession, thus practically asserting his innocence to the last ; and the rev. gentleman had not administered the sacrament to him. Reid had been eight times previously convicted —six times summarily and twice at the sessions. His last sentences were respectively six months' imprisonment and four years' penal servitude. CHLOROFORM AT THE .ROYAL A CVO UCHEMENTS. From a memoir of the late Dr. Snow in the Medical Times, we learn that on April 7th, 1853, he administered chloroform to her Majesty at the birth of the Prince Leopold. A note in his diary records the event. The inhalation lasted 53 minutes. chloroform The given on a handk erc hi ef, i n 15 minim esthe Queen exp resse d h erself as s and the greatly relieved by the administration. He had pre viously been consulted on the occasion of the birth of Prince Arthur, in 1850, but had not been called in to render his services. Previous to the birth of Prince Leopold, he had been honoured with an in terview with his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and returned much overjoyed with the Prince's kindness and great intelligence on the scientific points which had formed the subject of their con versation. On April 14th, 1857, another note in the diary records the fact of the second administra tion of chloroform to her Majesty, at the birth of the Princess Beatrice. The chloroform again exerted its beneficent influence ; and her Majesty once more expressed herself as much satisfied with the result. Inquisitive folk often overburthened Snow, after those events, with a multitude of questions .of an unmeaning kind. He answered th em w ith a ll good-natured reserve. " Her Majesty is a model patient," was his usual reply : a reply which, he once told me, seemed to answer every purpose, and was very true. One lady of an inquiring, mind, to whom he was administering chloroform, got very loquacious during the period of excitement, and declared she would inhale no more vapour unless she were told what the Queen said, word for word, when she was taking it. "Her Majesty," replied the dry doctor, " asked no questions until she had breathed very much longer than you have; and if you will only go on in loyal imitation, I will tell you everything." The patient could not but follow the example held out to her. In a few seconds she forgot all about Queen, Lords, and Commons ; and when the time came for a renewal of hostilities, found that her clever witness had gone home to his dinner, leaving her with the thirst of know_ g uc—Medical Tunes. ledge still on her ton DEATH OF AK INFANT FROM AN OVERDOSE OF Thursday 9vening along inquiry before Mr. Bed- SYRUP OF POPPIES. — On took place at the Westminster Hospital, Bed ford, on the body of Ellen or Freeman, a n i n f ant 18 months old.

A meeting of the Itovisional Committee of the Dramatic College was. held on Saturday, at the office of the Charity, 15, Bedford-street, Covent garden. It vas convened by the following circular, which 1 ufficiently explain the object of the me.2thig, it : "15, Bedford-street, Covent.garden, Dee. 27, 1858. " SIR,—I beg to inform you that Mr. Dodd has refused to make the conveyance of land promised by him, and has left unanswered the inquiry as to his engagement to build a central hall. Under the circumstances, the Provisional Committee, at the special meeting held on Saturday the 18th. inst., resolved that all communication with Mr. Dodd should cease, and that steps should be taken to enable them to accept other land in lieu of his. Fortunately, other parties were only waiting Mr. Dodd's determination. Immediately on its being known, two offers of larger pis than that belong ing to Mr. Dodd were made:-g have now to re quest your attendance at the meeting of the Provi sional Committee, to be held on Saturday next, the Ist of January, at two o'clock precisely, when further important communications will be made. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " WILLIAM CULLENFORD, Hon. Sec." There was a numerous attendance of members of the committee, among whom we noticed/0 Mr. Creswick, Dr. Roe, Mr. Rgtins,. Mr. Bil lings, Mr. Reddish, Sir W. De Bath*Mr. Jerwood, Mr. Cullenford (hon. secretary), Mr. Nelson Lee, Mr. Staunton, Mr. Sams, Mr. Leger, Mr. Emden, Professor Spooner, Dr. Shorthouse, Mr. Barney Williams, r. G. Borlaisse Child, Mr. Theodore Martin, r. J. Bowring, Mr. W. Willett, Mr. J. C. Deane, Mr. L. Watkins, Mr. Thos. Waring, &e. Mr. Benjamin Webster occupied the chair. Mr. CULLENFORD, the honorary secretary, read the minutes of the proceedings at the different meetings of the executive and sub-committees which had been appointed, showing the progress of the charity and the course of the negotiations be tween the committee and Mr. Henry Dodd respect ing the conveyance of the land. Our readers will remember that a meeting was held on the 21st of July last, at the Princess's Theatre, when a provi sional committee presented a report, stating— " The Dramatic College you are this day called upon to establish,. and which the provisional com mittee feel assured will soon take its place amongst the permanent charitable institutions for which England is remarkable, will owe its formation chiefly to a gentleman who has placed at your dis posal five acres of land, beautifully situated, with no other condition than that you shall this day give evidence of your desire to proviCe homes for those actors and actresses who are no longer able to pro vide homes for themselves, and whose aching limbs and wearied minds have earned the reward now proposed for them. The name of that gentleman is withheld, in conformity with his own request ; but the committee are assured by his solicitor, Mr. Macphail, that he only waits your appointment of trustees to make an unconditional conveyance of the land." The report of the committee was received, and the public meeting then held adopted the recom mendations:— " That the acceptance by the committee of the five acres of land from the grantor be confirmed by this meeting. " That four trustees be appointed to. receive a conveyance. " That the title of the institution be ' The Dra matic College.' • " That bankers be appointed. " That a subscription for carrying into effect the objects contemplated be now commenced, and that gentlemen be appointed to act as stewards, in making a collection. " That the proceedings of the provisional com mittee be approved, and that the said committee, with power to add to its number, be continued in office till the next annual general meeting. " That when, in the opinion of the committee, sufficient funds have been obtained, plans and esti mates for the proposed buildings be procured. " That at a special general meeting the provi sional committee do present a report of their opinion as to the regulations necessary for the future management of the college." In the minutes now read was a report of the com mittee, setting forth the fact that the offer of the land on the part of Mr. Dodd, the eminent dust contractor, was an unqualified and unconditional one, and at the public meeting in July, Messrs. Charles Kean, Benjamin Webster, Chas. Dickens, and Mr. Thackeray, were appointed the trustees for receiving the conveyance of the land. The first difficulty raised by Mr. Dodd was founded on the absence from England of Mr. Thackeray at the time the committee required the conveyance of the land, and the probability that that gentleman might not consent to act as a trustee. Upon being communicated with, Mr. Thackeray expressed his willingness to act in that capacity, and this was communicated to Mr. Dodd, still no step was taken to complete the conveyance. Ultimately the com mittee received from the solicitor of Mr. Dodd a most voluminous legal document, containing a code of laws for the future government of the college, leaving little or nothing to be left hereafter to the judgment of the council ; it dealt with the institu tion, in fact, as though Mr. Dodd was the sole founder of the college, and the only person who subscribed to its funds. It was stated that this lengthy and verbose document was necessary in order to prevent litigation or alienation of the land in future ; but the committee stated that such a document would, in their opinion, be much more calculated to produce than to prevent litigation, and called upon Mr. Dodd for the gift of the land to be immediate and unconditional. The committee re -,irded the objections which had been urged as frivolous, and the statement that the com mittee was a self-nominated one as absurd. The _ _ _ next point of difficulty arose from Mr. Dodd refusing to erect the central hall of the college at his own expense, as he had originally ex pressed his intention of doing, and, finally, the committee came to a decision that all attempts to make Mr. Dodd keep his promise with respect to the unconditional grant of the land, and the erection of the central hall, would- be futile. The report of the sub-committee, embody ing these facts and opinions, was adopted, with the sole exception of Mr. Macphail, the solicitor to Mr. Dodd, by the provisional committee. At the same meeting a resolution was passed, and ordered to be communicated to Mr. Dodd, to the effect that unless he should, within ten days, deliver an un qualified conveyance to the trustees of the land promised by him, the provisional committee would forthwith call a public meeting and lay the facts before it, with a view of proceeding to the estab lishment of the Dramatic College without any assistance from him. It was then contended that the appointment of trustees had not been legally made, inasmuch as at the meeting at which they were appointed at the Princess's Theatre there were many persons present who were not actual sub scribers to the charity ; but it was stated, in reply, that the presence of non-subscribers did not vitiate the appointment then made ; that both Mr. Dodd and Mr. Macphail were themselves present at the meeting, and sanctioned and approved of the pro ceedings, and were not now justified in coming forward to repudiate the appointments then made. In reply to the resolution of the committee of the 4th of December, Mr. Dodd addressed the following letter to the committee, which was read from the minutes by Mr. Cullenford : " City Wharf, New North-road, Holton, 14th Dec., 1858. " beg to acknowledge the receipt of yours of the 4th inst., with resolutions agreed to by the provisional committee. In reply, I beg to slate I am, and always have been, ready to make an un conditional conveyance of the land near Langley, as prepared and" approved by conveyancers of eminence, so soon as the executive of the college is properly constituted and in a position to receive the same. As to the threat contained in the resolution to call a public meeting, and lay the facts before it, with a view to the establishment of the college without assistance from me, it is not for me to object to the committee doing so. I can have no other wish but that the subscribers should be made aware of the filets, and it will he for them to form their judgment, " From their position and presumed experience as men of the world, it would have been expected, looking at the motives and object contemplated, that the members of the committee would have aPPFoachca the 11 100 V In ft Virit ill 4POAPCIance with the times, and not have allowed feelings quite foreign to the subject of the charity to actuate, yet the mastery of, and hurry them into a policy which I feel sure the subscribers, as a body, will not en dorse. Ifewevpr, I am PTPParo4 to übillo the result, resolved us I um not , to be made the scapegoat for the committee's wilful avoidance of tho duties in cumbent upon them. If you, as their secretary, could not, surely some one ought to have informed them that they are not in a position to receive the land. Let them place themselves in such, and I amain state that I am prepared, and hereby under take, to make the conveyance alluded to, but will not be stirred from that determination by all the resolutions the committee may pass. As to their insinuations, I score them. (Laughter.) The meanness of soul (renewed laughter)— already exhibited by some of the committee, in imputing the like sordid conduct that I presume influences their minds, to me cannot be surpassed. They may impugn and twist my motives as they please, but will not stir nie front the determination expressed._ I must again repeat to you that the delay now taking place arises solely from the committee neglecting to perform their el.e it and manifest duty to properly constitute the institution—it being, at present, for all real and business purposes, a nonen tity. I regret that the committee, by the course they have adopted, should necessitate my writing to you in the strain I have; but they will bear in mind that they commenced the correspondence. If they expected I should calmly succumb to their uncalled for remarks they are deceived. I may not express myself in a way flattering to their ideas. One thing I strive to do is to tell them plainly what - I mean, so that they may . not be misled ; and fur ther, I am equally as anxious as they profess to be to hav he matter finally settled. " tad hoped and anticipated to join those whose sol object I considered to be to build up an insti t on free, as far as possible, from any germ of jo beryzand corruption ; but, judging from the op position shown to clauses in the conveyance pre pared by your own legal adviser, and approved bye mine, this would not appear to be what is wished. • I decidedly objeet to any chance of - misappropria• tion, however remote, and am ready to execute the deed so prepared as hat any:presumed connection or tie between myself and the institution may at once end. I gave the land to benefit the aged of your profession against the expostulation of certain of my friends, who foretold me the treatment I have experienced. (A laugh.)—l am, sir, yours respectfully, " HENRY EiODD.. • "W. Cullenford, Esq." At the meeting of the 14th, when this letter was read, a resolution was passed by the committee, that all communication between the committee and Mr. Dodd should now cease, and in accordance with the resolution of the 4th ult. ' it was decided to call a public meeting on Wednesday, the 12th of January, to consider the further steps to be adopted for the establishment of the college •, Mr. Webster having placed his new theatre, the Adelphi, at the disposal of the committee, for the purpose of hold ing the public meeting. The following statement to be laid before the public was read and adopted by the committee : " This meeting has been rendered necessary by circumstances which have arisen unexpectedly since the provisional committee were appointed by the resolution of the public meeting held at the Royal Princess's Theatre, on the 21st of July last. The proposal to establish the college, as the subscribers will remember, originated in an offer made by Mr. Henry Dodd, irough his solicitor, Air. Macphail, to hand over five acres of land suitable for the purpose, with no other condition' (as stated in the report, which was prepared with Mr. Mac phail's approval, and laid before that meeting), than this, that the public should on that occa sion give evidence of their desire to provide homes for those actors and actresses who are no longer able to provide for themselves.' In the same report the committee of which Mr. Macphail was an active member, stated they were assured by that gentleman, that his client, Mr. Dodd, only waited the appointment of the trustees by the meeting, to make an unconditional conveyance of the land.' " The meeting confirmed the acceptance by the committee of Mr. Dodd's gift, and appointed Messrs. Charles Kean, Benjamin Webster, Charles Dickens, and W. M. Thackeray, trustees to receive the con veyance, 'r They also instructed the provisional committee to present, at a special general meeting of the sub scribers, ' a report of their opinion as to the regu lations necessary for the future management of the college ;"and a scheme for the constitution of the college, prepared by Mr. Macphail for future con sideration by the committee,' was read to the meet ing. "It is unnecessary to inform you with what generosity the public responded to the appeal made by the committee for its support—a generosity which leaves no doubt as to the establishment of the Dramatic College upon abroad and satisfactory basis. Her Majesty, besides a donation of one hundred pounds, has graciously permitted her name to be placed at the head of the institution as its patroness, and the list of its subscribers is sufficient evidence of the cordial sympathy excited by its objects. Mr. Dodd, through Mr. Macphail, acknowledged, as he could not fail to do, that the only condition for which, as above explained, he had stipulated as preliminary to his conveyance of the land, had been amply fulfilled, and the com mittee hoped that an unconditional conveyance Would, in accordance with his promise, have been forthwith delivered to the trustees. Until this was done, they have felt their exertions in a great mea sure paralysed, and they have therefore urgently pressed the matter upon the attention of Mr. Dodd and his solicitor, but unfortunately without suc cess. The draft deeds submitted to them from time to time on the part of Mr. Dodd, instead of being unconditional, were clogged with qualifica tions and restrictions which entirely deprived the conveyance of this character. Even if un objectionable in themselves, which the committee conceived they were not, the committee had no power to accede to them—the matters with which they dealt being matters essential to the constitu tion and future management of thd college, which, as shown above, can only be disposed of by a gene ral meeting upon a report from the provisional committee. Latterly, moreover, Mr. Dodd's adviser has declined to recognise as legal the appointment either of the committee, of which he is himself a member, or of the trustees ; and he has insisted on the appointment by the subscribers of a council, who, he alleges, will be legally qualified to make terms with the grantor, and settle the details with him of the conveyance.' " After repeated fruitless appeals to Mr. Dodd to fulfil his pledge to deliver an unconditional con• veyance to. the trustees, in which nearly five months have been consumed, the committee have, much to their regret, felt themselves compelled to break off further communication with that gentleman, and to consider the propriety of proceeding to establish the college, independently altogether of Mr. Dodd's assistance. They conceive they would have failed in their duty to the subscribers if they had, under the circumstances, allowed Mr. Dodd to dictate new terms. _ " Several of the subscribers have already offered, by increasing their subscriptions, to meet any addi• tional demands on the funds of the college, which may be occasioned by the failure of Mr. Dodd to fulfil his promise ; and the committee have every reason to believe that any loss from this cause, should any arise, would be more than compensated by the generosity of other friends of the institution. But they are already relieved from all anxiety on this subject, the committee having already received offers to place at their disposal for the purposes of the college more than one site, of greater extent and equally eligible in all other respects." Mr. CULLENFORD stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Macphail respecting the offer of Mr. Dodd. The committee, however, in the face of the reso lution passed on the 14th December, that all corres pondence between them and Mr. Dodd should cease, felt that they could not, consistently with the reso lution, receive any further communication on the subject. The letter was accordingly not read, although it was suggested by one or two members that it should be read and afterwards dealt with by being . ordered to lie upon or under the table, as the committee might direct. Mr. WEBSTER stated that as the offer of Mr. Dodd might be considered as at an end, the coin initi.ve had received several offers of suitable sites. The Necropolis Company had offered the charity five acres of their land near Woking, and had pro mised to reserve five more acres at a moderate price, should they be required in future. Mr. Meredith had offered five acres of excellent land, near the :lore, including a s ma ll Virginia - Water, at £35 per cottage and some other buildings upon th e l an d. (Hear, hear,) The Rev. Edward Moore had ex pressed his readiness to offer five or seven acres of land at Gerrard's.cross, a short distance from Stoke Yogis, the birthplace of the poet Gray, (Hear, hear.) He thought that it would be advisable for a sub-cominittec to he appointed, to go down and inspect the land which had been thus 90 generously o ffered to the college, so as to be enabled to report to the general meeting of the 12th inst. The resolution was unanimously agreed to, and it was stated that the oftbrs of those different gen tlemen:bad been acknowledged with thanks by the exeentive committee, Mr. CULLENFORD read the following letter from Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick, the lessees of the Surrey Theatre, enclosing a cheque for £0 15s. 6d., 'Actuary, LTFE DEPARTMENT.—UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF AN ACT OF PARLIAMENT, this Company now offers to future In surers Four-fifths of the Profits, with Quinquennial Division, or a Low Rate of Premium without participation of Profits.

While making this New Year's offering, we beg to say that we feel rupst deeply indebted to all who kindly aided us in our effortS to help on the good work. We hope, aild confi- dent ly believe, from the ready and cheerful co-opera tion which we met with from all parties, that every manager, actress, and actor will, whenever an occa sion offers, do their best, as we and those who are associated with us have done, to aid and sustain the noble institution which we are all so anxious to see established. " We are, dear sir, very faithfully yours, " SHEPHERD AND CRESWICK. " To W. Cullenford, Esq., Hon. Sec." The reading of the letter and the announcemeue,of the benefit to the college, were received with con siderable applause, and the thanks of the committee were tendered to those members of the profession who had kindly given their gratuitous assistance on the occasion, as also to the Surrey Gas Company which had supplied the gas gratis.

Ix answer to a question put by Mr. Spooner, Mr. WEBSTER stated that Mr. Moore, in his offer of the land, had said that the chairman may go down and pick five acres of land wherever he pleased on his estate; (Hear.)

Yesterday the Hull Christmas Sessions were opened before Mr. Samuel Warren, M.P., the Recorder, who addressed the grand jury as follows: Gentlemen of the Grand Jury—Christmas ses sions and Christmas festivities—the one held in the midst of the other—may suggest the idea of a, gloomy visitant at a gay banquet—Crime, stalking into the midst of assembled Innocence, and grimly asking, "Why are you all so happy here, when you know that so many of us are without, miserable among ourselves, and threatening you? To you all is delightful; to us everythinghateful and terrible. The bosom of society swells at your approach, and contracts at ours, as at that of a loathed and ac cursed thing—its natural enemy. But have you nothing to do with us ? Yes, and we will have to do with you ; you shall see in neglected crime a sure retribution." Gentlemen, I will not prolong .the dismal colloquy; you all of you know well what its tenour would be likely to be ; but let me tell you what suggested these topics to me. It was the sight yesterday evening, on my arrival here, of these depositions, containing the guilty details with which we have this day to deal, and a passage occurring towards the close of the report of the gaol chaplain to my brother justices and myself. The former—the depositions—disclose drunkenness and ignorance, fanning the flames of violence and cupidity, till they consume almost every vestige of morality and conscience. The latter —the gaol chaplain's report—reveals with painful • distinctness those causes in action producing these results, with only the immediate aspect and effect of which we have to deal, leaving the immense resi due to be wondered at and lamented with a sort of humane imbecility, strongly tinctured with indiffe-. rence, if not insincerity, or dealt with promptly and vigorously by the earnest and thoughtful phi lanthropist and statesman. "It has long -been a subject of serious thought with me," says our ex cellent chaplain, " though I have hitherto refrained from noticing it in any of my reports—how far the crime of this town is increased by the wretchedness of the dwellings of the poorer classes,which furnish so large a proportion of our town criminals. I have on frequent occasions, in my visits to the homes of the prisoners,' friends or parents, to go into places of a most filthy and disgusting description. The floors, judging from their appearance, are seldom washed; the walls arc unwhitewashed ; the furni ture scanty and dirty ; the beds and bedding covered with filth ; a whole family—father, mother, children, young and adult—all dwelling in one room, where they eat, drink, wash, and sleep ! When I have witnessed this state of things in their homes I have said, how can anything good or vir tuous be expected in parties who are herded toge ther like pigs in a stye, but not so innocent ? Little else than a miracle can make persons moral who live in places such as these. I mention this only to say how thankful I am that there is a movement in Hull on the subject of dwellings for the poor, that, I trust, will be attended with the most beneficial results, both to individual poor families and to the town at large. The scheme is yet in its infancy ; but every friend of the poor, and every lover of good morals, will hail the movement with gladness and see in it a practical sympathy with the lower orders, and a real desire to benefit them both socially and spiritually." A brother gaol chaplain said, a few years ago, in his book entitled "Prisons and Prisoners"—" In some country parts the condition of a poor man's habitation is disgrace ful ; in our large towns it is horrible beyond de scription." The physical description of the poor cannot be viewed as separated from the moral. The want of a proper dwelling-place for the working man is one of the greatest trials, and it is as inju rious to'his spiritual as to his bodily health. The crowding together of a whole family in one room weakens domestic virtue, destroys all self-respect, modesty—mark that, gentlemen, and what it implies—and delicacy of feeling, and utterly anni hilates all opportunity for self-improvement—a home which is miserable from physical or moral causesl is the half-way house to the gin-palace or beer-shop. The working classes, I assure you, when placed -in proper lodging-houses, are as remarkable for sober and domestic habits as the inhabitants of our courts and alleys are for drunkenness, immo rality, and crime. Sanitary reform is moral reform. Every one can do something in this work in his parish and neighbourhood; and he is bound to do his utmost ; the health, the lives of the poor are involved—yea, their morals, and in no small mea sure their eternal interests." So much did these passages, affect me, that I copied them out to read to you this morning ; and I do now beseech you, solemnly, to reflect, and act upon them. I do assure you, in the name of justice, humanity, and religion, that you cannot more becomingly end the present andinaugurate the coming year. Every domestic comfort you yourselves enjoy —every luxury you deem yourselves j . ustified in allowing ymirselves— ought to plead this wretchedly urgent cause before your own hearts. Do try to realise to yourselves the scenes depicted in the passages which I have read to you, and which are equally applicable to all our great and many of even our smaller towns. Did you ever, by aecident, or purposely, in the dis charge of a holy and ennobling duty, go to these dismal scenes—. 4, Where hopeless Anguish pours her moan, And lonely-Want retires to die ?" Can you not imagine the presence of that- anguish, and that want, driving off those who endure or witness it, in desperation, elsewhere—to gain a short mad forgetfulness in drink, and during that horrid forgetfulness becoming the prey of the seducer, and companions of the sons of Violence and Infamy? When we leave our own superior homes in the morning, we trust to return to them cheerful, to be encountred by cheerfulness, and the enjoy ment of everything that can promote it. But how is it with those of whom we are speaking ? At this moment, during every hour of the day and the coming night how many rooms in the town of Hull are rendered absolutely insupportable by cold, by starvation; by uncleanliness—moral uncleanliness, as well as physical ? What is the result ? Crowded dram shops, and thriving brothels, which cannot ba frequented but by those who, with every succeeding visit, become more and more blindly devoted to vice and intemperance; and also must necessarily resort to fraud and violence to supply the means of guilty indulgence ! And speaking of brothels, let me ask you, gentlemen, if you aro aware of the statistics relating to these detestable hotbeds of crituf) M _in your own town ? I find the last item in Mr. M anus's carefully compiled criminal returns for the last year headed thus---" Return of the number of brothels and prostitutes in the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull." It appears that the number of houses in which pro stitutes are kept was 245 ! That, besides these, ti e number of houses to which such women res )rt was 52 ; and that the number of such wretched ereatwo was 51 5 I fear the retvAs for the cur- 1 a*
