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.

People rushed to the spot, but before the first assist ance could be given the conflagration had made rapid progress. " St, Dimitri is a sort of faubourg of the town, commencing at the extremity of the Rue des Roes, bordered on the right by the Armenian quarter, on the left by that of St. Catherine, and extends east ward to the new hospital of St. Roch, where the gardens commence. All this space is filled with very old houses, built exclusively of wood. Most of the streets are excee di ng l y narrow ; some o f t h e projecting roofs almost touch across. The inhabi tants are nearly . all Greeks, and are chiefly day workmen at various trades. " Owing to the strength of the wind the greatest anxiety was felt. Strong gusts sent the flames in every direction, and the c on fl agra ti on as sumed terrible proportions. All hopes of stop ping the flames had to be abandoned, and for seven hours they did their work of destruction. At 2 p.m. it reached the extreme end of the Rue des Roses. In this street the fifth house on each side is of stone ; on the right side the great esta blishment of the Deaconnesi,?s, recently in creased by the adjunction of the ancient Papasian. house ; on the left the house of Roboly. Every effort was made here to arrest the progress of the flames. The house of Papasian, nevertheless, caught fire, and had it not been through the mercy of Pro vidence that the wind lulled, the destruction of tlio whole of this quarter of the town would have been inevitable. The flames were got under on this side. In the street to the left, leading to St. Catherine, one single building was left standing, that of Dr. J. Edwards. " All the public establishments have been thrown open to receive the sufferers from this disaster, and a committee was at once formed to collect subscrip tions to provide for their immediate want s . To day, at noon, 130,000 piastres had already been subscribed. " The cause of the disaster was purely accidental. It is said that a woman had lit a candle in honour of the Virgin, and having left it burning it caused the fire. " His Excellency Osman Pasha, Governor of Smyrna, was absent from the town when the Ire broke out. He hastened back to the scene of con flagration. Hamed Bey, Chief of the Police, worked with his men. The soldiers of the garri son, the artillerymen, and the crew of the Giay- Ferah worked with zeal. "An English detachment, under the personal command of the Captain of the Terrible, worked willingly and zealously. "M. Usquier, son-in-law of the French Concul, showed great devotion at the head of a body of men. " The crews of all the other steamers and ships rendered all the assistance in their power ; the Mussulman population also behaved well, helping to carry buckets of water, i&c. " Putting aside the natural anxiety caused by the calamity, order and tranquillity were not for one moment disturbed. " The official report giTes the number of houses burnt at 700 ; at first it was supposed that 2,000 had been destroyed." A LAS! LAUGH WITH THOMAS HOOD. (From alternbers' lemma.) What a capacity for love and friendship had that fine fellow's soul ! How naturally he flew to the rescue of the weak or the ill-treated ! What noble indignation he felt for the tyrant and the bigot t How the hearts of all good men were attracted towards his, no matter how different from his own were their dispositions and callings ! How grate ful his modest spirit was for a little kindness ! He loved his fellow creatures, but despite that univer sal sympathy, he did not (as sometimes happens) love his wife and children less. All children were, indeed, inexpressibly dear to his tender nature. When prostrated by sickness, and in far from good pecuniary circumstances, he would still find time and spirits to address a laughter-moving letter to one of his favourite little folks ; and this when his writing had got to be of considerable value—a pe riod at which the most prolific authors are apt to be chary of their correspondence. Of three letters thus indited to the children of his staunch friend, Dr. Elliott, then residing at Sandgate, we hardly known which to select for its charming humour, lurking pathos—for the writer was at the time sick, almost unto death—and the writer's adaptabi lity to the capacities he was addressing. "MY DEAR JEANY,—So you are at Sandgate Of course, wishing for your old playfellow, M— (he can play—it's work to me), to help you to make little puddles on the sand, and swing on the gate. But perhaps there are no sand and gate at Sandgate, which, in that case, nominally tells us a fib. But there must be little crabs somewhere, which you can catch, if you are nimble enough—so like spiders, I wonder they do not make webs. The large crabs are scarcer. " If you catch a big one with strong claws—and like experiments—you can shut him up in a cup board with a loaf of sugar, and you can see whether he will break it up with his nippers. Besides crabs, I used to find jelly-fish on the beach, made, it seemed to me, of sea-calves' feet, and no sherry. The mermaids eat them, I suppose, at their wet water-parties, or salt soirees. There were star-fish also, but they did not shine till they were stinking, and so made very uncelestial constellations. " I suppose you never gather any sea-flowers, but only sea-weed.

COLERIDGE ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Right Hon. Sir J. Coleridge delivered a lecture at Tiverton, on Tuesday, on " Public Schools." Mr. J. H. Amory presided. The LECTURER said that education for many years had much engaged his mind. He had felt the deepest anxiety for the spread and improvement of it among all classes. The wants of the country and the circumstances of the Limes, he believed, made the call for its extension anTimprovement more ur gr sent. He had said before, and he repeated it now, because he was convinced of the truth of it, that the irresistible tendency of the times was not so much to increase education as to bring into activity the political power of what were called the lower classes of the country. This was so marked a tendency, it was so regular in its advance, so vigorous in its springs of action, that it could not be overlooked. It therefore became their duty to strive to make the classes in question fit to exercise the functions cast upon them. Again, in order for the other classes to preserve their places in society, they must be dili gent in their own education. It would. not do to rest upon tradition or upon pi ivilege, for if they still de sired to lead they must make themselves fit to be leaders. They must strike out with the most skilful swimmers in the race. While all around the under wood of the forest were making shoots, their own growth must not be neglected, lest they were over grown. (Hear, hear.) Let them feel no dismay, for the stream which might overwhelm if they at tempted to stop it would become a source of abun dant blessing if they directed its course aright; but the ability to do so could only come by diligent self-culture. The greater public schools of the coun ty were more especially the subject of his lecture, but as he had abandoned the idea of including the Universities, so he should confine his remarks and illustrations principally to Eton—not merely be cause he knew more about it than any other, but partly because he conceived, from its size and com position, it was at once the most important and complete of its class. He avowed his filial fondness for Eton. He looked back to the days spent be neath her shade with gratitude, which increased with years, and which would endure to the close of life. He was not blind to her faults, of which he should speak with freedom and impartiality. ith regard to Winchester, Harrow, Rugby, and others, their merits were well and widely known, and they had reason to be proud of their distinction. Trac ing the origin of Eton to Henry IV., and giving an elaborate sketch of the history and character of the school, the right hon. gentleman said that Eton and her fellow-institutions had ever fulfilled, and were still fulfilling, their glorious mission ; adapt ing themselves in form to the changing manners of the times, but always preserving their identity and spirit. (Cheers.) Every educational institution had its idea—that which, so long as it was con sistently carried out, influenced all its details. The idea of Eton was the union of liberty of action and independence of thought in the boy with that maintenance of discipline and subordination with out which no school could exist, much less the scholars maintain progress in learning. Many of the schools seemed to have their idea founded upon the problem, how much of restraint and discipline I was consistent with the maintenance of the vigour of the intellect and the warmth of the heart, Boys were trained to walk regularly rather than to fly high or far. Safety for all was sought rather than excellence for many. These principles, however, admitted of qualification. Each school, perhaps had its merits, and England had room for all. The judicious parent would select a school according to his son's peculiar disposition, intellect, and circum stances, for " The child is father of the man." There was, it must be admitted, for many children, danger in the Eton system. Even with men, liberty often trembled on the edge of license, and it required great firmness, discretion, and skill so to govern a school on this principle as to maintain constant regularity, obedience, and willing appli cation of the mind. The tendency of the Eton system was to make a boy generous and firm minded, to teach him to exercise his common sense and feel his responsibility, and to make him act under the influence of generous shame and emula tion,—in short, to make him a manly boy, trust ing because he was trusted. (Cheers.) This was a favourable picture of the tendency of the system. Many might fail to be influenced by it, but these were its natural results. The traditions of an an cient school had great influence upon the working out of its ideas ; and the Eton traditions were fa vourable to these results. Etan boys loved their school while there, and would leave happy homes to return to it with none of the usual schoolboys' regret. They were often idle, noisy, and not proof against temptation—they might desire, but could not easy make their boys faultless ; but there were many faults from which an Etonian was free, in part, at least, because he was an Etonian. After be stowing general and high praise on the system of teaching adopted at Eton the lecturer said, it had been commonly remarked that Eton boys did not bring to the University and to the competitive ex amination that sound knowledge of the mathematics which Eton professed to teach, and the suspicion got about that there was a want of reality in ma thematical teaching. It was, however, said that within a few years a great apparent change had been made, but without corresponding results, as tested in the Universities and elsewhere. This was much to be lamented, if true, for if there was one principle more sacred in schools than another it was that nothing should be professed more than was performed, and that what was taught should be taught well. Was the other department of teach ing sacrificed to this P He believed not, and yet the scholarship of the pupils appeared to him to be be low what it had been, and the composition less ac curate. Perhaps he spoke with the prejudice of old age, and he should not trust his own opinion, but he spoke the opinion of those who examined the boys for the Newcastle scholarship. He did not say that the best boys were inferior in the knowledge of metres, but they did not appear to grasp the ideas of the great writers as good Eton scholars used to do, and in composition they showed less of the manliness and simplicity of the great classical masters, and too much of Italian conceit and falee brilliance. Scholars could distinguish what he spoke of ; Lucretius would not have been ashamed of Dr. Keates' poem on the " Immortality of the Soul," and Virgil would have admired the verses of the Bishop of Lichfield. Some might smile, perhaps, and think he attached too much importance to these things, but they indicated a less perfect command of the language. 113 did not think this was the result of too much attention devoted to other studies. The boys used to be incited to exertion by the honours they might gain, and the honours for competition were sent up for " good" and for' play" in the sixth form. The head-master read them aloud to the assembled class in the former instance, and the send ing up of a good exercise was the condition upon which the half-holyday depended. By modern practice, however, he thought these honours had been made much too cheap —too much the reward of good behaviour rather than of good composition ; and the boys were content to reach the standard. He thought, too, that the number of prizes and exa minations was excessiv, and tended to distract boys from regular application. These prizes, however, were useful as testing results, and were most satis factory when they were preceded by no specious training of the lads. With reference to the sports, he had •watched the cricketing, boating, and drilling of the boys with increasing interest as some indica tion of the general well being of the school. (Cheers.) It was a bad time for the study of the school when the sports languished. There was, he was glad to say, marked improvements in the religious training of the school, in the knowledge of the Scriptures and eccle siastical history, which was in some degree owing to the Newcastle scholarship, the influence of which had extended throughout the school, even to those who might never be in a condition to compete for the prize. On the subject of parental influence, the• right hon. gentleman said that some parents ex pected everything good and great from their boys through the instrumentality of public schools, for - getting how many other agencies operated upon them and doing nothing themselves to aid in the production of the virtues they desired. Some deliberately and al most avowedly disregarded the studies of the schools, rather leading their sons to consider that their first objects were the formation of good connexions for after life, and the acquisition of good manners. Ilia boys, in such cases, were the victims of bad homes rather than bad schools. The sons of such parents were very injurious to schools, and it was the duty of masters to give such boys ample warn ing and trial, but if these failed to send them away, as one would send away an infectious patient, as kindly as might be, and with as little disgrace as possible, so that the removal might not fail to pro duce a good effect upon the school, while it could not injure the boy himself, but might do him good. There was great wisdom in the maxim, " Learn or depart." In conclusion, he said the public schools of England had a powerful influence on the Eng lish character. To have been together at Eton, Harrow, Winchester, or Rugby was a tie for life ; and to have been friends there was a charm which made the holiest friendship more holy. Even to have been in the same school, the same class, and the same chapel was a link which bound together old and young, great and humble, soldier and civilian, and made personal strangers at once familiar by common associations. (Cheers.) And so Wellesley, the stately and puissant governor of millions, and Charles Metcalfe, a boy from Eton, commencing his course in life, met first on the banks of the Hooghley, and felt themselves the sons of the same mother. A feeling such as this operated on the character, and it spread so widely and deeply as to leaven the mass. But this was not all.--for the education itself was of a kind to favour the growth of certain qualities. Of course a strong and uncongenial nature might overpower it, but it tended in itself, with a silent force, to make men ready to oblige, affable, and self-reliant ; it helped to the development of common sense and dexterity in the ordinary concerns of life ; to make men cheerful in retirement, agreeable in society, no less than to bear their parts gallantly and cleverly in the tumult and conflicts of public life. In a word, it fostered that assemblage of qualities which, combined with the higher ones of integrity and goodness, constituted the accomplished gentle man. His last words then were—Esto perpettm. (Cheers.) A cordial vote of thanks was accorded to the right hon. gentleman at the close of his lecture. THE POPR.DOM. There are characters well known to every novel reader, whom we part with in the first volume with the most perfect certainty that we shall meet with them again in the last. This is the part which the Pope is just now playing. He has got into a backwater, and is for the moment quietly put aside, but causes are not wanting which will before long once more involve him in the eddy, and carry him into the main stream of events. We must gather up and keep well in hand the threads of our his tory if we would be prepared to do justice to the grand catastrophe of Italian politics, which cannot very long be deferred. The Sardinian Government evidently thinks the time has arrived to remind the Pope of its existence. Abstaining from any public demonstration, the oldest Sovereign in Europe has evidently come to the conclusion that physical is a much better thing than moral force. We hear little now of allocutions and excommunications, but a great deal about enlisting and drilling. Europe has been ransacked for vagabonds to shed their blood in the cause of the Sovereign Pontiff. " A King," says Aristotle, " is guarded by his own subjects; " a tyrant by strangers and,mercenaries." heed less of such reproaches, the Pope, despairing of any support fr9m his own subjects, has given us a reading out of the history of the Middle Ages, and established not only a Podesta in the shape of the French General commanding in Rome, but a regular leader of arndottierr worthy to take rank with Hawkwood himself, in the per son of the Algerine General Lamoriciere. This devout and savage warrior is engaged in reducing to order the mass of Swiss, Bavarians, Austrians, French, Belgians, and Irish whom the Catholic Church, through her recruiting sergeants, the priests, has brought under his banners. The Irish seem to have been a " costly mistake." People had read about their misery and oppression till they believed it, and were surprised to find the ill-used natives of the Isle of Saints much too well-fed to stomach Papal rations, and much too free in their ideas and habits to endure Papal discipline. Seeing, indeed, the treatment they received, one is inclined to wonder how an army could be kept together on such terms. Perhaps the prospects open to these heroic men under a leader who so well understands the art of war as it is practised under the shadow of Mount Atlas may explain the patience with which the Block Bands of the Pope endure scanty food and bad quarters. " There is a good time coming," and the children of Erin have been a little too hasty in their decision. Read this, ye ex soldiers of the Vicar of God upon earth, and see what you have lost, all for the want of a little patience. General Lamoriciere has published an order in which he notifies to the troops of the Pontifical army to sack (saccager) every town which at the approach of Garibaldi or of his army shall rise in insur rection. No terms, no parley, no persuasion, BO delay. The unknown rebels are handed over by anticipation, before their crime is committed, to be sacked in the name of Mother Church and in the fear of God by that pious and exemplary hand upon whose hireling valour, paid by contri butions extorted in the name of holiness and charity the Pope is now reduced to depend. We have read of a leader of Italian eondottieri in the Middle Ages who inscribed on his pennon, " Friend to God and enemy to all mankind." Surely the spirit of this venerable man must, after a brief sojourn in the body of one of the soldiers of Alva, ha'e found its way into the martial person of the General to whose care the temporal interests of the Church without the gates of Rome are at this critical moment in trusted. Meanwhile events are progressing with a speed which almost baffles the diligence of those who strive to record them. Garibaldi is probably this day at Naples ; the King has gone to Gaeta only to consider whether he will fly to Madrid or to Vienna. Naples is as good as lost, and the turn of Rome must come next. The Sardinian Government seems to think that the time has come when it is necessary to give some significant hints as to the view which they are disposed to take of the pro ceedings of the Papal Government, her mercenary troops, and her Kabyle General. The Turin press becomes oracular. " The principle of non-interven tion," it says, " cannot be applied until the Papal Government disbands the foreign hordes which it has assembled against its neighbours. This cru sade against Italy may bring about complications and serious disturbances if the resolution be not taken to disperse it. The Papal Government must understand that for the peace of Italy an extri cation is necessary from the normal state of things which until now has wearied the patience of all the Powers." We have not, we confess, much sympathy with the means which the Pope has adopted to perpetuate his temporal dominion, but we do think that the Sardinian press is rather un reasonable in the arguments which it addresses to the Papal Government. To convince another we must start from some point on which we agree, but we seek in vain for any such point of agreement here. " The principle of non-intervention cannot be applied." What is that to the Pope, unless he is a convert to the principle of non-intervention ? The Pope is for intervention in every shape. For the last ten years he has held one half of his dominions by Austrian, and the other half by French intervention. It is like saying to an assas sin, " The principle of hanging for murder cannot be applied unless you throw down your pistols." Why threaten the Pope with " complications and disturbances ?" Why appeal to him in the name of the peace of Italy ? He has lost so much that he cannot be content with things as they are. What is peace to him if it takes from him the Romagna . ,_ or the absence of disturbances and complications, if the effect of that absence be to leave it to the mercy his of his own subjects, to be tried according to . merits ? Give back to the Pope all' that be_hasalonst and he will, we doubt not, cordially respondeatoce of appeal which shall propose the pe a r; prince half things as they are ; but to talk to dethroned of peace, non-intervention:. and so forth, and to suppose that such appeals will be attended to because that Prince happ ens to be the spiritual head ofthe t ig deno mination of Christians, shows an nunpardonable • press of Sar dinia of history and a childish simpli c it y from mpt which we should have . su pposed the e x is some thing honourable, e .

At the present moment, when the Syrian mas sacres are still fresh in our minds, and when men are beginning to ask themselves the question how long the Turks shall be permitted to turn into a wilderness that which the Creator declared " very good," it may interest our readers to know how our ancient allies govern the provinces more remote from the observation of European statesmen. The position of Mokha is well known ; it is popu larly supposed still to be the great emporium of Arabian coffee, and the steamer passengers who ob serve in the distance a goodly array of tall minarets and white houses, fill up the canvas with their own ideas of a thriving seaport town. But the city is a miserable ruin, the superior advantages of Aden, and the blighting effects of- Turkish misrule, have combined to withdraw to the British settlement the entire trade of the surrounding country. Outside the city of Mokha there are several Arab tribes who own the Turkish sway j • of these, the most important are the Mushlahi ( ushalaha) and the Mozal, or people of Moza. long ago a feud broke out between these clans, and several were killed on either side. The Pasha of Yemen, who is at Bait-el-Fukih, with a considerable force, sum moned ten of the chief men of each to appear before him and answer for their misdeeds. The result of the investigation was, that each of the tribes was fined an enormous sum, far more than could possibly be paid, and the chiefs were sent back to Mokha under charge of one Saffer Bey, and a troop of Turkish cavalry. On their arrival at Mokha, Saffer Bey, to whom the enforcement of the award was entrusted, threw the chiefs into gaol, ironed the legs of each, and chained them together by the neck. The poor Be douins brought all the money they could collect to meet the fine, but it fell far short of what was re quired ; and the Bey had the chiefs publicly flogged at the gates of the city. Among these vas the head man of each tribe, and several of their near relatives. Their clansmen in vain implored for mercy on their behalf, offering to pay all that was demanded if a lit tle time were only allowed ; but the Bey was obdu rate, and threatened if the entire sum was not forth coming on the morrow (Aug. 1), again to administer the stick, hinting that this time he would not desist while life remained in the bodies of his un happy victims. This was more than the Bedouins could stand, and they determined to release their chiefs vi et arms*. Several hundreds of them met at night and attacked the town, or rather they scaled the walls unopposed, broke open the gaol, freed all the prisoners—upwards of sixty in num ber—and having effected their object with ou t bloodshed, were retiring to their villages they were met and opposed by the Aghan. Saffer and his t d ll a r r o o mu o e p. nds andwTh h o e she g oi a up I gl / i a hn n e t od mef wereno o , t t h na o on u d g m h ba tu m et h o sul forni g t e ht d thl , ey w Ee e n ceeding their opponents in number, were urged to recklessness by grievous wrong and oppression. Twelve Turks and several horses were left dead on the field, while the Arabs quietly retired, with a considerable number of captured horses, and only one casualty. The entire Mushlahi tribe has de serted its villages and sought refuge in the hill country, where they have blockaded all the roads leading to Mokha. Some have gone to their neighbours the Hakami ; others have fled to Aden ; but the main body remains near Moza, determined not to permit a camel load of provisions to enter Mokha. A precisely similar affair has taken place in the more western province of Yemen, the particulars of which have not as yet reached us ; but it is rumoured that not less than 40 Turks have been killed by the Zanareet tribe, and that Hodaida is in nearly as bad a plight as Mokha. The revenues of Yemen have this year been farmed to a company of Christian merchants at Constantinople for 400,000 dollars, and they are likely to make a bad speculation, especially in the eastern parts, where trade is absolutely at a stand still.—homeward Mail, Sept. 4. DEATHS FROM THE FLAMMABILITY OF CLOTHING. The public mind, so slow to be moved in all that suggests the sacrifice of old habits, takes but lazily to the idea of adopting any of the solutions recom mended for rendering ladies' light clothing non inflammable. Meantime a constant succession of deaths occur due to this sole cause. The total num ber of persons who died in the United Kingdom from burns and scalds during the year 1858 was 3,125. Of these no small proportion met their deaths by their clothes catching Ire. Neither number nor rank is wanting to emphasize the sad calamities due to the habitual employment by ladies of light and combustile attire. This last week adds to the list of victims the Countess de St. Marsault, one of the Princess Clotilde's ladies of honour, who has just expired at Paris from the effect of burns which she had received while endeavouring to save another lady whose dress had caught fire at a ball. Not even royalty has escaped these perils ; and the severe burns some time since suffered by the Princess Frederick William of Prussia, owing to the ignition of her dress while she was in the act of sealing a letter, led to the institution of ,the Wait and most successful inquiries into the means of preventing the ignition of light textile fabrics. These investigations were under taken at the express desire of the Queen ; and it is stated by Messrs. Versmann and Oppenheim that the solutions of tungstate of soda, and other salts which they recommend, may be employed without risk of injury to the texture or colours of the fabric. Granted that there may be a tinge of partiality in the opinions of these chemists, so valuable an im munity is cheaply purchased by the loss of a creamy shade of whiteness, or the variation of a tint in the , many-coloured gossamer robes of fashion. Let our modern beauties shun the example as they would the fate of the moth. Modern chemistry offers them the means of decking their forms in bright vestments which defy the flames that may in a moment render those they now wear more fatal than the robe of Dejanira. Steeped in these chemic waters, their stuffs will crumble, but never burn amidst the fiercest flames ; and decked in L these plumes, rivaling the feathers of the phoenix, beauty may frolic secure from fire.—Lancet.
