BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Yatriculateil Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London aospilal Medical Satiety, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con it q iences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in lout!), degradation in Man hood, 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 condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is citified. - Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal mrinagement which cannot be violated with out incurritl3 rievous penalties, and whe n w i sdom and regret sue g c ted 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 consegnencesmaybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical Intlrmity or functional d'rangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

' M ETROPOLITAN RAILWAY : Inco r p ora t e d by Act of Parliament 17 and 18 Vic., sap, ocxsi.—At a PUBLIC MEETING of the inhabitants of Hammersmith and the vicinity, held at the Windsor Castle Tavern, Hammersmith, on Friday Prening, 19th March, 1858, W. F. AINS WORTH, Esq., in the Chair, Letters were read from H. Pownall. E'q., and from win. Bird. Esq., expressing thelrregret at unavoidable absence, and their entire con currence in the project It was moved by P. Broad, Esq., seconded by T. B. Chester, Esq., and resolved unanimouly— " That the Metropolitan Railway is a project of the greatest general commercial importance, and of paramount neeessitras a leading trunk ; forming the only available means of access !lir those Western suburbs at present wholly deprived of railway communication with London, and consequently thereby seriously depreciated in value and position." It was moved by W. A. Wilkinson, Esq., seconded by Dr. Challice, M.D., supported by Wm. Burcheli, Esq., and resolved unanimously— " That the proposals of the Directors of the Metropolitan Railway (now read) for securing the immediate disposal of the remaining shares, are deserving of public confidence and.support." It was moved by G. W. Jones, Esq., seconded by Robert Watson, Esq., supported by E. Benham, Esq., and reso unanimously-- "That s soon as the Metropolitan Railway l itecornmenced, this meeting pledges itself to the promotion of a line connecting Ham mersmith, Shepherd's Bush, Kensington, Norland, Notting Hill, Ladbroke, and the adjacent neighbourhood with the main line ; thus largely increasing the general traffic and consequent ultimate mu tual advantage." It was moved by E. Benham. Esq., seconded by Dr. Chanter. d.D., supported by W. Austtn, Eq s., mad cari led by it :el m u ;ion "That the thanks of this meeting are eminently due. d hereby. thin gad tg W.XoESAtiawasels. Xeq..-feer lits 141016 , In the chair. • "ratite was then given that T. B. Chester, Esq., of the Grove, Hammersmith, would receive subscribers' names for shares in the Metropolitan Railway, on the conditional proposals read to the nesting. The Zonstruct'on of this railway will remove the existing induce ment for merchants and o hers to live In Surrey, Rent, and Sussex, Instead of Middlesex, Berk% and Backs, and save the shareholders of the treat railways which traverse these counties, and the landowners therein, and especially those in the vicinity of the various stations upon these lines, from the loss which the present state of things threatens permanently to entail en them. All the Parliamentary, legal, engineering, and other preliminary expenses have been encountered and paid. The contract for the con struction of the line at a known and determined cost has been signed. Nearly hal fthe shares are held by parties able and anxious to pay up the calls, and it is only necessary for the public to take up 50,000 shares of 101, each effectually to set on foot one of the most promis ing undertakings of the day. The construction of the Railway could then be immediately commenced, and the whole work be compl4ed in a space of time almost incredibly short. And lastly, let it be especially remarked that this invitation to take shares is only conditional. If 50,000 shares are not subscribed for, and the company thereby established, all deposits received under this invitation will be returned in fit 11, without any deduction of any kind whatever. With the shares thus distributed, and the prompt payment of ,calls secured, with a dividend of 14 per cent. shown upon unexceptionable data, and the works actually commenced, the undertaking doubtless would assume its true dimensions in the eyes of the public, and the shares would realise a corresponding value. If there should n , t be sufficient applications on or before Satur day, the 3d of April, to - insure the re-issue of 51,000 shares, no allot ment will be mad but the Act for the abandonment of the under taking will be proceeded with. If asunieleni number of ;hares be taken up the works will be at once commenced. If more than the requisite number of shares be applied for, priority of application will be considered in the distribution. Applications for shares to the Secretary must be sent in on or before Saturday, the 3d of April next. Detal'ed prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the offices of the company, 27, Great George-street, Westminster, S. W., or 48, Threadneedle-street; also at Messrs. Hutchinson and Sons, 15, Angel-court, E. C. SPORTING NOTES. • NOTIONS ABOUT NORTHAMPTON. The "Sporting .sheet's " of last week could not hie been more Crowded with racing rattle:et if we bad been far into the season instead of being onon its 'sr,' threshold. Still the incidents were not important. Only an indi ff erent m eeting was oelebrated at Warwick, and wi•ilst the number of Laces was large enough, yet the fields were of the - moat limited description. The characteristics of the Warwickshire gathering may be briefly &manned up. They consisted in Seueterer's defeat, eheeuccesi of Miris Finch and Vandermulin, the scratch ing of Weathercock and the death o f poor oltilitnerten. Saunterre e running scarcely admits of satisfactory explanaticin ; some people attribute it to temper, others to his lusty appearance, And many to the state of the gr stud. If, ho 4- ever,: §aunterer be the horse be was last year, his, Warwick ,performence affords no better specimen of , his real quality than would a single brick .give one the idea of the dirc.ensionwand style of a house?. Odd Triok, who wise Secondlor the fifth time this season, was again brought prominently into notice for the Nortb amPt"hhite Stakes. Miss Finch showed, by the way in which she dispoted of het' opponents for the Two- Year-Old Stakes, thit the high estimate which I had formed of her pretensions 'from her . Liverpool running was fully warranted. • French sportsmen have' nothing to learn of English turfitis in the art of finesse and deception. The proi ceedinge connected with the withdrawal of Weathercock for the Steeplechase Are not .the only ones of a questionable nature which certain of our allies have adopted in connection pith the racing affairs of this qountry.. It is ail very well for people te argue on tbrieluoel maxim of a man's having a perfect right to do is kis likes withliiii•own, but Iliold it that great favourite for an important" race is; for the tims being, public property; if the owner of the animal be- comes aware that imm ense 'slims of money !Lra invested on it, and-if he covertly sanctions the general opinion that the horse is going - to fulfil its engagsrmente Until within a few :clouts:A-of 'the. tame appointed foi the start, they, who had backed. Weathercock, had nt cause for uneasiness. The jockey was there booted and spurred ready to go to scale,, the horse was not sent oil to the course, and when the telegraph board announced the starters, the arrayed backers of Weathercock gave expression's to their wrath in no measured languagq. Surely some eiplanation shotild be afforded for the scratching of Weathercock. • - The catastrophe which befell poor Beurton—the last representative of the good old style of steeplechases— .excited much pity and indignation. It, however, caused no surprise, for the state of hie legs had p re p are d all persons for a break d own , • Surely after hie many triumphs the old horse might have been allowed t end his career peaceably on ensue quiet pasture lan . The story of hie death reminds one forcibly netted with the horse Dragon a n d h i s cruet master Trer gouwell FreMPton—a celebrity o f the teacup times elf queen Anne. of that co - Although some slight falling off may be perceptible ill the supply of sport at Northanepton, yet the quality will be scarcely deteriorated: The excel once of the Handicap fee the Stakes has been fully atteated b this betting, and not u n til w ithi n t he lait few days have y thb .public been 'furnished with a decided and prominent fa vourite. The race has beep remarkable for the success Of outsiders—albeit last year afforded an exceplon to the rule—and I shall not be surprised if some little thought of animal were to-morrow to give the book makers an agreeable surprise. Why Odd Trick should be so mach' fancied r ant almost at a loss to imagine. His running this year has certainly not bean vastly meritorious, and his weight is not over favourable. Still the prestige which attaches to his Cambridgeshire success is evidently sufficient to induce the public to try him on 'his occasion, whilst it is stated that his owner has cogent rearms for believing in the horse's staying powers, and in his ability to carry his coloura through in triumph. He is called upon to concede 121 b. to Zuyder Zee, and stone to The Depe—a . task . which over so severe a course as that at Northampton, I doubt hie ability 0 accomplish. For the. Houghton Handicap, at Nevi market, Zuyder Zse showed -a great turn of speed, and if he be net stoppeclby the lull, I shall be di-appointed if he be net " up" to the finish. M. Dobler and Tamp Deer are troth lightly weighted. Tile former had a re -putation which his exhibitions' last autumn f *lied tic sustain, but I am not of Sir Charles Coldstream's opiniob "that there's nothing in it." Taking into consideration the immense sums of money for which be was backed for both the Cesarewitch and .Cambridgeshire, I am (Joni pilled to believe that he did something to satisfy his party that he possessed merit of no ordinary stamp. Tame Deer is as slow as i< post horse, but he can gallop without tiring. Of the three-year-olds, Coetrel and Fadladeen would have been most to my fanoji i i but the former may be reserved entirely for the Whittlebury Stakes, and the latter ha s b een qu i te k nocked out of the market. I am therefore compelled to fall back upon Palmister and Misty Moro. Palmistor is supposed to be a geed horse, and sith Lim xepea4 Lis triumph. XlistylLorafo,-must be held dangerous, for if his party be in earnest they will not be far out in their reckoning. I must record my want of confidencie in Odd Trick, and state my deliberate conviction that three animals "most to my liking" are THE Dora, ZUYDER ZEE, and M. DOBLER. Should FISHERMAN go to the post I shall be induced to row in his cockboat. Of the eittreme outsiders, commend me to SICHIEUS, who not only showed that he could stay, but also that he could race a bit, when he cut down a large field at Newmarket in the Houghton Meeting. The Trial Stakes - may be .placed to Fisherman's account. Kestrel and the best of Stevens'e—Barbarity or Elk:de—l shall select for the Stand Plate. The Whittlebery Stakes will create some interest. Bulge, it is said,' possesses Much form, bat I shall look to Coetre! and Aneurin to punish the winner. Mr. Merry's colt will, I fancy, perform in a different style to that which marked his Doncaeterrunning. The New Stakes. seems likely to go to Wrestler. If Kelpie be rent for the Racing 'Stakes" he may win, as both Costrel and Happy Land have each a SIOF. penalty. The Spencer's Plate is not likely to attract so many animals to the post as on former occasions. The top weight, New Brighton, Yeller Gal, and Dumfries, arc as much to my fancy as anything in the race. The Althorn' Park Stakes will occasion a very in teresting encounter. The penalised animals are Fusee, and Miss Filch. Believing Viet Stockbarn ought to have won at Doi eater, I shall not withdraw my confidence from him. Tame Doer and "Broadlands shall be my champions for the Cap. For the St. Leger Handicap I shall throw in with Lord Nelson, Lamtamil, and Tricolour ; and for the Delapre I t shall take 01 , 1 Torn and Marander. Turfites will have little difficulty in getting backwards and forwards from Northampton to Coventry and Crox ton Park, where meetings will take place on Thursday and Friday. March 22. A FRESH MAN.

On Saturday was issued the report of the procoedings of her Msjesty's Civil Seriice Commissioners during the past year. In an appendix are_printed the ex4mination papers which have been set during the year, and the re. sults of all tbe, competitive examinations, shlwing the amount of marks obtained by each candidate on each subject. The number of nominations maie in the year 1857 to situations under the Order in CAincil was 2;189. • Ia 1856, the number was 2,430; and the total num• ber since the origin of the comujiesion to the end of 1857; is 5,682. The great mass of the nominations is absorbed by the five large departments of the Admiralty, Ciptoms, In. land Revenue, Post-office, and War. All the rest col lectively were but 354 in 1856, and 294 in 1857. The numbers in each fear show a decrease in the Customs, Inland Revenue, and War Departments, and a considerable increase in the Post-office. The number of candidates actually examined under the cammissionera' directions as to their knowledge and ability was 1,954. The number of eases disposed of without reaching the stage of actual examination was 391. The 'number of persons rejected in 1857 was 490 ; in the previous year it was 698. The number of certifi cates granted in 1857. was 1,354, including 83 granted to successful competitors, and 50 granted without exami nation upon reports from the head of departments. In the three periods embraced by the present and two former reports, the proportion of rejections to the num ber of persons examined Omitting, for the sake of a fair comparison, all -competitive examinations and cases of. certificates granted upon "reporta4rom departments) bay been— - ••• 1855 1856 1857 " if we combine," say the commissioners, "this dimi nution of rejections with the fact that the number of cases in which we have certified the marked proficiency of candidates in the prescribed subjects, and also the number of cases in which we have granted certificates of proficiency to candidates in subjects beyond those which are prascr bed, exhibit some increase in the' year 1857, as compared with the year 1856 (notwithstanding the diminution in the number of candidates), we are led to the conclusion that the candidates who have been ex amined in the year 1857 without competition have shown somewhat greater ability and acquirements than the like candidates of the previous period. "We have been under the necessity of refusing our certificate in 21 cases on the ground of deficiency in health, and in 14 cases on the score of character. " The competitiveexaminations of candidatesfor junior 'situations which have taken place during the past year have ranch exceeded in number tho=e of the year 1856. In 1856 there were 30 such competitive examinations in 1857 there were 68, and 22 in the present year, up to the date of this report; the entire number from the commencement of our commission up to the present time being 127. These competitions, however, have not been open to all persons desirous of coming forward and fulfilling the requisite conditions of age, health, and 'character, but have been limited to persons nominated by the authorities who have the duty of appointing to the vacant situations. " In reporting upon the competitive eximinations which have taken place under our superintendence, we feel i to be our duty to avow our continued conviction that the selection of persons for junior situations in the Civil Service by competitive examination, combined with the proper coalitions as to age, health, and character, and with the check of a p er i o d o f p ro b a ti on , a nd with pro- motion by merit from class to class, is the best mode of providing for the public service." STATE OF AFFAIRS AT SIERRA LEONE. The following is an extract from a private letter, just received under the following date : At Sea, February 14th, 1858. Lat. 9.38 N., Long. 14.48 W. The day before we arrived at Sierra Leone—or rather the night before, for it happened at two o'clock in the morning—through neglect on the part of the engineer on watch, away went with a tremendous crash, a great part of one of the engines; luckily without killing any one; but we were entirely disabled for some time ' • how ever, we sailed on, an d fi n di ng several ships at Sierra Leone, soon set all right again. Soon after we were re paired, n.,ws arrived that some of the most powerful chiefs of the tribes bordering on the colony of Sietra Leone had formed a plan for burning and plundering the town, if they could get a few friendly powers to join them ; but these remained stanch, and sent word to the Governor of their intention. He and Commodore Wise i4id c.tir orals to„:v t her, Aul to pay the former a visit up a river, the Scarcite.,.where all th e i r principal towns w ere , an d alio a large town called Kam his, which our enemies the Soosooe had taken from our friends the Timoness, promising to return it if they would assist in the plundering of Sierra Leone. This town then was our great object, and up the river we went, with the Pluto and Spitfire towing the boats of the Vesuvius and Ardent, manned and armed. The river is very shallow and dangerous, full of rocks ; so, of course, it took us much time and trouble to get up. However, in three days we got the steamers up about thirty-five miles without any accident ; there we were obliged to leave them and take to the boats, io which we went about ten miles farther, passing four of the Soosoo towns quite close, but they did not fire on us, waiting for orders from their chief, but they danced their war dance, and insulted us in every way possible. I must tell you that about a year ago this very tribe beat off a good force sent against them, and since that they fancy they can laugh at white men. We anchored that night about three miles below Kambia, and sent a message to Barab Lieab, the King, to say if Kambia was not given up by the next morning, we should burn it. and all his towns. He returned answer that he wished to give it up, but that his young men were determined to have a fight for it, and he could not help it; so next morning at ten o'clock, we pulled up to Kambia and opened fire. In about ten minutes the place was in flames. They fired at us, but hurt scarcely any one. We then moved down, firing whenever we were fired at, setting fire to nearly all their towns en passant. The Soosoos kept up a good fire from both sides of the river, bat could not stand ours for long, and were obliged to give way, though well under cover in the bushes. I was sent with a message to the steamer, and pulled past four of their places, where they waded !nto the river to get a shot at us, and although several hundred shots were fired at my little gig at easy range, only three balls went through her, and we went and re turned without getting a man hurt, having pulled about 16 miles. Next day w e re t urne d to the steamers, burning and filing all the way. I had the pleasure of seeing my friends of the last evening get a pretty good lesson. We sailed down the river next morn ing in the steamers, under a continual fire, which you may imagine was returned with interest. Tne prior wretches could do nothing, and were obliged to . run, so we knocked tbeir villages about their ears and passed on. It took us two days to get out of the river, making just a week from the time we entered it. Of course, we expect to have some fever after our trip, but as yet we have had but little, and very mild. I believe thp object of our expedition was well accomplished. We bad very feW men wounded, and none veryseverely. The wretched Soosooe, lost about 400, and the King, Barah Lieab, got shot throu b b the leg, so I fancy they will hardly laugh muck more at us for some time. THE UNEMPLOYED SPIT iLFIELDS WEAP ERS. DEPUrATION TO THE BOARD OF TRADE. 'On Saturday afternoon a deputation from the unem ployed Spitalfielkie weavers had a lengthened interview with the Right Hon. j. W. Henley, President of the Board of Trade, at which they presented a memorial, showing their distressed condition, and praying the Go vernment to. render them aSsistance. Mr. C. &Butler, M.P., introduced the deputation. Their sufferings from privation were represented as being very great, although partially relieved by private benevolence. The Memorialists represented their present condition as being very much due to the unjust and injurious competition, both foreign and domestic, which now prevails. They called attention to a statement that had been made in the House rf Lords in refer ence to the great excess of our imports .over our exports. The foPowing statement wag made show ing the great reduction that had tak-n place in wages since the year 1824:—Satin, which was at that time paid for at 10. 51. a yard, in 1857 bad 'alien to 84. S-rge, in 1824 at 101 a yard, was in 1857 paid with 411. And other artio'es showed an equal declension in price They pointed out the (Fifer ence existing between the foreign ant English tariff's. The French charged for the introduction of E glish goods into their country from 30 to 35 per cent., whereas the French paid only from 12 to 15 per cent, for their goods coining into this country. The wines average between 7s. and 83. per week, which is all that most of them have to support a f itnily. The opinion of a large manufacturer was cited, that it was only the high rate of duty charged on goods sent to France which preven t ed a large trade in silks, &c., between this and foreign countries. Mr. HENLEY expressed his sympathy with them, but could hold out no hope to the deputation that the Go vernment could make any alteration in the law. The country had demanded cheap goods, and now they had got them they would not allow any change in the law to be made. He also stated that there were Lot funds in hand to grant immediate pecuniary aid, but he would send a letter to them explaining his opinion on the memorial and statements that had been made. The deputation on leaving thanked the right bon, gentleman for bis courtesy, THE ANDAMAN ISLANDS. The last of the Moguls, the unworthy representative of a once powerful though barbarous dynasty, has been placed in the dock, convicted of being accessary to foul murder and treason, and sentenced to transportation for life. The few renaming years, or rather months, of his miserable existence are to be endured amid the savage population of a group of small islands in the Bay of Ben gal. Since the year 1824, then the British expedition against Burmah assembled at Port Cornwallis, the An damans have scarcely been henrd of in this country, and even their position on the map is still comparatively un known. The principal island is also the most northerly f the group, and t xtends 140 miles in length, by 20 in breadth. The Little Andaman, on the other hand, is the most southerly, but does not exceed 28 miles in length by 17 in breadth. In the centre of the Great Andaman the land rises to the altitude of 2,400 feet, forming a well-known beacon to mariners—the Saddle Peak. A few small streams thence descend to the sea. Various kinds of timber suitable for ship-building are hand in abundance ; but the only fruit worthy of mention is the mangrove : the cocoa-nut, which flourishes in the neigh bouring Nicobars, does not grow in these islands. Many varieties of fish are caught off the coast, and con stitute the chief food of the barbarous inhabitants, who also indulge in lizards, snakes, guanam, and rats. On the skirts of the forest which occupies the interior of the principal island, are seen herds of a diminutive species of hog, supposed to be descended from a shipwrecked stock. With the skulls and bones of these animals the islanders adorn their huts, and were thence accused of cannibalism, from a belief that their favourite ornaments were the indigestible remains of human beings whom they had slain and devoured. They are, in truth, a cruel and savage race. All attempts to communicate with them have been repelled by darts and flights of arrows. They are described as resembling a degenerate tribe of Degrees. They have woolly hair, thick lips, an d a flat nose ; their stature seldom exce e d s five feet ; their colour is a deep, unshaded black ; and their costume that of primeval Adam before the fall. Their huts consist of four poles driven into the ground and interwoven with boughs of trees. Their chief want is a sufficiency of food, in search of which they are constantly prowling along the shores or climbing steep rocks ; their chief annoyance is from the countless insects that infest the islende, to guard ag inet which they plaster themselves over with miel, and thus sender their skin as impenetrable as the hide of a hippopotamus. Their woolly hair is painted with red ochre to an extent that would excite the envy of the Gael. But wild as is their aspect and fierce their disposition, they are nevertheless amenable to the laws of p diteness and ,good breeding. That man is con sidered a boor and no gentleman who does not salute his neighbour in a becoming manner by lifting one leg and smiting the lower part of the thigh with the open hand,—A lien's Indian Mail.

It,appeara that a charge of contempt was Ac cordingly lodged against them by the referee, and that Judge Edrnonds wa—appointed as a second referee cs repor upon thC facts in the now form. The principal witness on this occasion was again Madame Lola Montee, who was examined as follows, by Mr. Clinton : Couneel—Did, you see Vie commencement of the tffray ? Lola Montei—l did. •- Counsel—.Be kind enough , to state whether Mr: Joh ann or Mr. Seely used the first violence? L Ia Montes—l sa w the stick of Mr. Jobson upon Mr.: Seely. I. advanced a little, thinking that he would strike him. I then saw Mr. Seely ward the blow oft, and it fell on his shoulder from his bead. Counsel—The Mow from the stick you mean ? Lo!a Montev—Yee. I was apprehensive myself that there wouA be a dagger in it, and cried out "Take care, Mr. Seely." Counsel—Was the violence you have described die first violence between these parties that 'you saw ? 'Lola Me - nres—l was quite doe& by them. I w perfectly calm, not at all frightened, and I saw t perfectly. Mr. Scherii3erhorn—Speak lotider. Lola Montei—l will speak load enough for you, if warrant you. Mr. Clintan-My question was whether the violen ' you have described of the stick descending on Mr. Seely bead was the first violence that you haw between th parties? Lola ?goatee— The first violence of Jobson against By tile, Ce urti r — What occurred next ? Lola Montes-Mr. - -Seely was atone side of the atovt and :Mir . Jobson ptanding at. the other. , —.Mr. Seely wail' very quietly, writing, and this respectable -gentlemah here, this - laWyer (Mr. Scher.aerborn). was questiimin g me upon my testimony as to my being a chatabermaid o and I was very quietly waiting till this persecution was done. I paw th e n th a t M r . S ee l y was quietly writing. I locked at him and saw he was very calm. He rose, turned his head to Mr. Whiting, .and asked if this fello was to be allowed to. go on in these unnecessary que Jobson rose up with an eye full of wickednes and lookod at ,Mr. Seely. "'fellow How clare yo cal me afellow ?" I said .to him, "You are nothint but a fellow !" You remember my saying that ? Mi r Jobson then b a d r i sen . H e th en ca ll e d me unutterable names —names not for my utterance ; in fact, there wail one name that I did not understand till afterwards. Referee—What was it ? . Lola Montes gave her notion of the word employed and was corrected by the . referee, who informed her c the proper ortheepy. "Oh, shyster, is it r she said. "Excuse me. I dii not understand the word. That was all." Referee—After Mr. Seely warded the blow off, wha happened ? Lola Montes—lt seemed to me that they both go together again. It seemed in my opinion justly that. remember perfectly the blow being given, and that I wal happy that the blow bad not fallen on Mr. Seely's head, where it was intended ; it fell here on his shoulder ; thei I think Jobson went a little farther forward and made grab, and they both grabbed together. Referee--Now, Mr. Schermerhorn, go on. Mr. Sobermerhora—l do not want to examine thi witness very much ; I only want to see how much exactlj she knows ~f it. Counsel--Is your recollection very distinct'about thij occurrence ? Lola Montes—Yes ; I recollect port calling me Bets Watson. Mr. S.—Never mind that. Just speak of the affair: Never mind our conversation. Do you recollect dis, tinnily what occurred abut this affair I Lola Montee—Ye ; I recollect speaking' to you about it. Yon were very frightened—all, you were very frightened. I came up to you and I said, "Taere, sir, is the coneequence(cf your doing I" Mr. N. (uneasily)—Never mind tiat—never mind that. Lola Montes— ou asked me what you said. I spoke to you, but you were awfully Irtghtened ; you were very much annoyed. Mr. S.—No. I ~ 4 o n't think I waQ very much annoyed. Now, did not` Mr. Seely strike Jobson first on that occasion ? Lola Montea—l toll you be did not. Counsel—Wdl you swear, madam, that Dobson struck Seely with a whip before any assault was made by Mr. Seely on Mr. Johaon ? Lola Moutes—l have sworn once, and that is quite ufficient. Mr. S.—l speak now of an aysault, not of his being truck, I ask you whether Mr. Jobson WM not as saulted fires t • Lola Montes -I do mat know what you call air as intuit, but I think you mad* as assinlt on Ann all the New.. Mr. S.- .-\o, an assault is raiding flit to strike at a person. If a man strikes at you be assaults you. LAa Monte*—And what is the moaning of assault and battery Mr. S.—Assault and battery is both striking at and Lola Montes—Ah, that is it. Mr. S.—Answer me that question, whether Seely did not strike at Jobuon before Jobsoc raised his whip to strike him ? Lola Moulted—Mr. Seely was entirely cool ; so cool that I was atoniNked at him. Counsel—Well, now, that does not answer my ques tion. Referee—She has answered Ton already. Connsel—l think she has ni t. Referee—She has. She has said she did not see Mr. Seely strike Mr. Jobson, but that the first thing she saw was Jobson in the ant of striking Seely Lola . Montes—Ob, I know how to manage Mr. Sehermerhorn ; I have seen him before ! Counsel—l asked you whether Mr.` Seely had not assaulted Mr. Jobson before you saw Mr. Jobson strike him with bii whip 1 Lola Montes—And I asked you the meaning of as sault and battery. I have never in ail my life been brought up for tveauit and battery. Counsel—You are very fortunate that you have not beta. Lola Monteß—Ladies do not nag their hands to strike. Counsel —Did you state where you saw Seely striking Jobson ? Lola Montes—l did not say that I saw Seely striking Jobson ; I saw Jobson striking Seely. Counsel —Well, I ask you, then! Lsla Niontes—Well, I say no. C.unse'—Did you make use of this expression : " Pummel him well; I would like to sea him pum melled Lola Montes—l never in my life made use of such an unladylike expression, and no witness will say that I did ; I will tell you what I did say :—" Never mind him, Mr. Seeley ; hale not worth striking by a gentle man." keferee—Oh, never mind that. Lla :Muter—But he a-led me, and I mu-4 tell what I did any. Counsel intimated that he had no further questions to put, and the witness retired. Judie Edmonds, in reporting to the Supreme Court, gave his opinion that a contempt had been committed before Mr. Referee Whiting, that Seely, though not the aggressor, participated in the contempt by striking Jobson a blow, that Jobson was rude and offensive, and that he struck Seely. He reported, also, the modified apologies to the court of both parties. The judge took the report and affidavits of the counsel of Seely, which state that Mr. Edmonds' (the referee's) report was par. rig and unwarranted. He said the court would consi der Mr. Seely's case. but inasmuch as Jobson was not a attorney of the court, it was a question whether it or ri-free (Jtr. Whiting) eh gild punish him. THE EMPEROR (IF FRANCE AND THE LATE ORSINI.

Of the sickening detail s contained i t , "he official deposition of one of the prinpipal, mo-t Unfor tunate victims of this cbld7blooded, crime, I. will confine miself to saying that they - are ench as must of necessity rouse — feelings of horior and indignation in no wise inferior to those excited by the word atrocities lately reported as . having been enacted in India ; but there are 'other circum stances connected With the cac:e athieh may well give rise co serious refiec , ions. It clearly appears not only that the crime was long premeditated, but that plunder was not the pt incipal object of its per petrators. One of the worst aymptoma of the case, however, is the widifsoised-svmstatill ) I rbi4 the Mahommedan population-or oyrieleirte s c hown in favour of the criminals, and which .must of neces sity confirm the uneasy feelings that have forsome time past prevailed among the Christians. It, is often remarked that the late wsr, contrary to wh a t might harebeen ex p ec t e d , instead of diminishing, has rather added to the acerbity of - .feeling that exists between the great religious parties in the East. And, much as one would wish to discredit the existence, as a rule, of a really more deeply seated animosity betweeu them, all men's attention, unwilling though they may be to add faith onto give circulation to the reports of mere alarmists, must be arrested, if net startled, when facts are seen to arise corroborating opinions enounced by persons who possess, doubtless, opportunities for judging of the temper of the population among whom they live. . - Mr. Gobat, the. Anglican 'bishop in Jerusalem, some months ago, in a - circular since published, re ferred to the excited state of the Ma.homedana. of Syria, and gave it as his opinion that the leniency shown towards the perpetrators of the outrages at Marash in 1856,- unless strong precautionary mea sures were taken, might produce the most dis astrous effects. Rumours , of a religious struggle between the Moslems of India and their Christian conquerors ate rife Throughout the countries Of the East, and the fact that the most wildly improbable stories and the most garbled accounts are those which circulate the most rapidly, and are most eagerly listened to, cannot in any way lessen their tendency to prqgoce -most mischievous effects. Without giving way to exaggerated fears or fore bodings, it may, therefore, reasonably be demanded that every display of fanaticism should meet with immediate and stern punishment, and thus it may be that the energy and resolution forced upon the Turkish officials in the late occurrences at Jaffa may avert more than one impeadiug outbreak of a like nature. The Turkish authorities met the demands of the American consular officials of Jei usaleni and Jaffa with their usual apathy and inertia, by which it seemed that all proceedings were- to be hopelessly obstructed until they ,yielded to the indignant re monstrances of Mr. De Leon, and consented - to arrest a man against wham there existed serious grounds of suspicion. Conviction was soon obtained, and was followed by a full confession of his guilt and of the names of his four accomplices, three of whom, together with himself, now lie in irons awaiting the confirmation of their sentence from Constantinople. The fifth was no', yet captured, but the Sheik of his tribe was held in custody as hostage for his production.

A highly respectable tradesman of Dawlish, named Oliver, died some years since, leaving to lies widow by will a considerable property ; with the proviso, however, that in the event of her re marrying, the whole should revert to their childrerz. During her widowhood, Mrs. Oliver, it appears, became surety to the amount of 4001., for a son-in law, who had obtained some responsible situation iu a large metropolitan brewery establishment. The young man misbehaving himself, the bond was for feited, and the mother-in-law was called on to pity the money. To evade this loss to, ber family, the poor woman (aciing no doubt upon advice) adopted a course as misguided as it was repugnant to every sentiment of morality 'and decency. A: dissipated youth, about 20 years of age, named Crew 3, who was residing at Torquay, and gaining a livelihood as a builder's labourer, was induced to marry the widow, who was 58 years of age, upon the under standing that he should receive 301, for the "job" and start off at once for Australia, where he is said to have friends residing. The impious ceremohy took place at the Registry-office, Newton Abbot ; the bridegroom received his money, signed some deeds of the nature of which he professed to be totally ignorant, and set off for Plymouth, whenee he was to have sailed, and the_ bride returned to Dawlish with her fiends. Toe young man, hew ever, soon altered his deternim ttion, for a very, fqw hours afterwards saw him once more at Torqhay, where with boon companions he proceeded, as long as the money lasted, to give full vent to his drunken propensities. His return was of course a source of great anxiety to the parties concerned, not the gilhaoya who the least so, it may well be ima g i ne d, t o hi s wife, and now we arrive at the melancholy seque l to tints strange tale.
