To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life with!n Life," and its advantages in detecting by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, 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, &e., Aro. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and re-ret 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.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual 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 squally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing , with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true 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.

She left Alexandria December 7, and Malta on the 10th. She has brought home 23 passengers and 30 boxes of gold, worth £137,722. The Niagara met with moderate weather in the Mediterranean, the prevailing winds being from the north-west. Across the Bay of Biscay she met with a strong south-west gale. The screw-steamers Lacinia and Meander and the English brig Thomas were passed off Cape de Gatte. Off Lisboa were passed the screw-steamer Araxes, standing to -the northward, and the Melita, standing to the southward. The Niagara did not call at Gibraltar. She has made a splendid run home from Malta in nine days. She belongs to the batch of steamers built by Cunard before the La Plata was built. Cunard's steamers will no longer convey the Australian mail between Southampton and Alexandria, their charter con tract having expired, and until the new Australian contract commences, the Royal Mail Company will run their ships to Alexandria, the Thames having been appointed to take out the January Australian mail. The Australian mail which left Alexandria in the Niagara consisted of 80,000 letters, 90,000 news papers, and 5,000 registered letters. The letters were sorted on board the Niagara by Mr. Roberts, the mail officer, and will be delivered in London and all railway towns within 300 miles of it simulta neously this morning. The passengers by the Niagara were the first persons who travelled all the way by rail between Suez and Alexandria, the Egyptain railroad having been finished just before they arrived at Suez. On some parts of the jour ney by rail the passengers travelled at the rate of 40 miles an hour. One of the most difficult and important railways in the world, and which has been some years forming, is now completed, and the short route to India, China, Japan, and Australia can now be traversed by railway and steam packet throughout. Accounts brought by the Niagara from New Zealand are encouraging. The colony is prospe rous. The gold fields there are steadily increasing in value. They have now been discovered about eight months, and £lOO,OOO worth of gold in dust and nuggets have already been obtained from them. They are situated'.elose to Massacre Bay, when a boat's crew of the famous circumnavigator, Tas man, were massacred by the natives. This bay is 50 . miles from Nelson, and in August last 1,000 perions were at work at the diggings. The gold is of very good quality. At Sydney business was dull. The fresh gold diggings just discovered to the north of Sydney had excited much interest, and about 5,000 gold diggers weekly were leaving Victoria bound for New South Wales. The comet first became generally visible at Mel bourne on Oct. 11, about a week before the mail steamer left. As seen at the antipodes the nucleus appeared to be stellar, and the gradation of light well marked between it and the coma. The comet had a winged appearance, and there was a pulsa tion from the nucleus to the wings, giving the appearance of flashes across the coma. The following are the chief items of news brought by the Niagara from Tasmania : _ _ In the House of Assembly a resolution has been adopted not to vote a salary to any public officer hereafter accepting a seat in the Legislature, By another resolution it has been determined to open to settlement Tasman'. Peninsula, a district con taining 140,000 acres of crown land. The news from the Fingal gold-fields, although not reporting any great results, is still of a nature to encourage men to persevere in looking for them. The esti mates have passed the Assembly with little altera tion. A motion by Mr. Miller, for the introduc tion of the competitive system of examination for appointment to public office, was negatived, prin cipally, one of the papers says,- because salaries' have beep reduced so low that no office is any longer worth= competing for. . direction south-west from Kopoorkaria, to Sind warra, a city situated on an elevated table land, for a long time celebrated as enjoying the most salubrious and invigorating climate in India, and for that reason probably not unknown to some of our readers. There is every reason to believe that the Rajah of Sindwarra was induced to give assistance to Tantia Topee, and that he thus secured all supplies of provision he required. Kerr, who reached Kopoorkaria on the 4th Nov., was unable to follow the rebels through the Putchmurree Hills, on account of the danger to be anticipated from a march through paths covered with jungle, and through passes practicable only to single files of horsemen. But if Tantia Topee on his part conceived it possible to penetrate into the Nagpore territories by Sindwarra, he also was deceived, for he was met at Sindwarra and turned from thence by a detachment from Nagpore. He, therefore, had no other course open to him than to take a south-westerly direction, and proceed by way of Mooltai to Baitool. In order to prevent bim from making any further way in that direction towards the rich cotton districts west ward, General Michel, who reached Hosungabad on Bth November, with Lockhart's, De Salis's, and the Rajpootana brigades, at once despatched Bri gadier Parkes with a force of cavalry and artillery, to Baitool. General Michel himself, with the 17th Lancers, a squadron of the Bth Hussars, all avail able artillery, and Kerr, with the Mahratta Horse, proceeded, though somewhat later (9th November), to Baitool, leaving some Bombay Artillery and the 72d Highlanders at Hosungabad, and posting a squadron of the Bth Hussars, 13th Native Infantry, and Bombay Horse Battery, at Hurda, and a wing of the 2d Bombay Light Cavalry at Sohagpore to watch the fords of the Nerbudda. Tantia Topee had no intention, however, as it afterwards ap peared, of retracing his steps to the Seria Ghaut. He went to Mooltai, and plundered it, crossed Gen. Michel's line of march between Baitool and Hosun gabad, and making a ten days' march through the mountains in five days, along the northern face of the Satpoora Hills, reached Peepleeode, within 40 miles of Asseghur, on the 16th of November. Colonel Becher and Captain Buckle followed on hi■ track as rapidly as they could. Having burnt and plundered Peepleeode, he took a northerly direction on the 17th to Kundwa and on the 18th to Churan, evidently intending to attempt once more the passage of the Nerbudda, at some of the fords in the neighbourhood of Mundlaisir. Had not most energetic measures been taken to line the frontiers of Kandeish with considerable reinforce ments Tantia Topee might have found no obstacle to a passage of the Taptee and an irruption into the Bheel districts. He was deterred, however, from this, possibly in part by the precipitous nature of the defiles leading from the Satpooras to the banks of the Taptee, and in a greater measure perhaps, by the knowledge of the preparations made to re ceive him. The concentration of troops' at Kamp tee and Oomrawuttee had driven him south-west from Sindwarra; a similar concentration at Ahmed nuggur and Ajunta, prevented him from crossing the Taptee. Sir Hugh Rose left Mahabuleshwur for Ahmednaggur, where he was joined by addi tional artillery, part of the 18th Royal Irish, and the whole of the 3d Dragoons, from Poona, whilst a strong field force under Col. Tapp, C. 8., consisting of a squadron of the 3d Dragoon Guards, the head quarters and 300 men of the Poona Irregular' Horse, the 4th Troop Horse Artillery, and two companies of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment,together with the 23d Regiment of Native Light Infantry,proceeded at once -towards Ajunta. From Malligaum at the same time the 23d Native Infantry and 18th Royal Irish were sent on to Burhampore, and her Majesty's 57th were ordered from Bombay to Malligaum. Col. Tapp's column reached Ajunta on 22d, and Sir Hugh Rose arrived at Malligaum on the same day. Measures have thus been taken to stop the mouths of all the passes leading through the Satpooras southwards. The present opportunity, at all events, is the best we have yet had for enclosing Tantia Topee in a net without issue ; and if we do not make good use of it we shall not have so favourable an occasion again. As it is, the Nawab of Banda has already seen the uselessness of further resistance, and has given himself up to our officers.

It has been a subj ect of wonder, y al a d s i h e t o short s t and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks bad gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which jarried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it.

By extraordinary express in anticipation of the Overland Mail we have received advice and papers from Bombay to the 25th ult. (From the Bombay Standard.) TANTIA TOPEE. In our last summary Tantia Topee, Rao Saheb —the so-called Peishwa—and the Nawab of Banda, were described as being still at large and on their road to the Nerbudda, our columns being completely distanced in the pursuit. Since then Central India has ceased to be the scene of rebel exploits, it hav ing been transferred to the country lying between the Tapee and Nerbudda. One chief of the three, the Nawab of Banda, has already surrendered, and we expect soon to hear that Tantia Topee and the Rao have followed his example, or have been cap tured by the detachments in pursuit of them. It was at Sohagpore that the first intimation was received that one of the rebel chiefs, at least, de sired to surrender. That chief, however, was not Tantia Topee, but the Nawab of Banda. A servant of his was arrested at the Post Office in the act of dispatching two letters from his master—one ad dressed to Sir Robert Hamilton, another to Capt. Kerr. In the latter the Nawab declared that he had all along been a Prisoner, which was not tru e, for it was very w e ll known that he com manded Tantia's horse and that he desired to surrender if he wer e assure d of protection. The servant seemed to have had instructions, if caught, to corroborate this tale ; for he stated on examination, that the Nawab was watched night and day, was much broken in health and spirits, and had been a prisoner to the Rao ever since Sir Hugh Rose's advance on Calpee. It was ascer tained from the same source that the force under the three chiefs still amounted to 2,200 infantry, all mounted on tattoos, and 1,800 cavalry—the sth, Bth Bengal and Gwalior Irregular Cavalry. That the Rao, who usually rides on an elephant preceded by a band of country music, nominally held su preme command, Tantia Topce being only Com mander-in-Chief. That the Banda Nawab had left all his jewels behind him, but that his wives and family were with the rebels. That these, however, carried all their wealth with them, and were covered with jewels. As to the condition of the force it was described as very low, the horses and elephants being much beaten, the men wearied and dispirited, and Tantia comparatively without authority. It was further stated that the sepoys, in their disheartened state, regretted what they called the good old times—laid the mutiny on their officers' shoulders, and cursed them as the cause of their present altered circumstances. Tantia, it seems, reached the Nerbudda on the 30th of October, crossed it on the 31st, halted the next day, and having won the Rajah of Futtehpore to his side, occupied that 'place on the night of the 2d. The news of Kerr's advance on Bhilsa was the sole cause of his retreat from that place, which, but for this, would infallibly have been plundered. Sohagpore was saved in a similar manner by the advance from Hosungabad. The rebels were still at Futtehpore, a large town situated at the foot of a low range of hills, backed by the Putchmurree mountains, which are some forty miles deep .and quite unsuited for cavalry. It was belived, however, that once in the Putch murrees, the rebels must be lost if the Nagpore, Jubbulpore, Nursingporc, and Baitool forces were moved to a common centre ; provisions would utterly fail and the rebels must be captured. The hope entertained by Kerr, that the Goonds would rise, and that Tantia Topee would fail to penetrate the defiles of the Putchmurree Hills, were not realised. Tantia Topee succeeded in sur mounting all difficulties, and in advancing in a CENTRAL INDIA. Those who follow the movements of our various columns will recollect that the brigade of Colonel Smith has been on one perpetual march for nearly a year, beginning in the middle of last cold weather, continuing throughout the hot weather, and up to the present time, with the exception of three weeks' rest at Sepree in July. It was determined to give this brigade a rest. On its way it fell in with a rebel force under Maun Sing at Raj poor, on the 14th of November, and completely dispersed it, killing GOO of them. There have been no other actions of note besides in Central India. Colonel Seudamore's brigade has returned from Jhansi to Gwalior with the prize jewels, which will probably soon be sold and distributed to the forces. A new brigade under Captain M'Alahon, consisting of a squadron of the 14th Light Dragoons, two guns of the 4th Company 2d Battalion Bombay Artillery, a company of the 71st, and 300 of Scindiah's troops have gone out to Deoghur, to watch a chief named Burjer Sing, who has come over from the Jalo'mn districts, and Dowlut Sing, who has also arrived from the same quarter with 1,000 plunderers. OUDE. The campaign in Oude commenced under most favourable auspices, though certainly under pecu liar circumstances. Although partial operations never ceased, oven during the hot weather months, a well-conceived plan had been matured for render ing protracted resistance on the part of the rebels difficult and dangerous. The plan consisted in placing lines of brigades or strong detachments per pendicularly to the course of the Ganges, and ex tending as , far as possible from strategic points on the left bank of that river towards the west slope of the Himalayas. Thus from Futtehghur to Mohum dee, extended one lino of brigades and detachments. From Cawnpore to Lucknow stretched another. From Suraon, opposite Allahabad to Fyzabad, lay a third, whilst from Juanpore to Azimghur and Gorruckpore was placed a fourth. At the same time the right bank of the Ganges, from Futteh ghur to the Soane, was properly guarded to pre vent the passage of the river, whether into the Nab or . Behar. By means of the military lines -we have mentioned the rebels were con fined to particular districts, deprived of the means of concentration, and reduced to a position in which they were more likely to be acted upon by the peculiar policy we, intended to pursue towards them, and more likely ,to submit to the terms of peace as offered to them by her Majesty's proclama tion. It was very fairly supposed from this state of things that when the campaign really commenced in earnest we should find many of the great chiefs disposed to treat, and anxious to avail themselves of the merciful clauses of the amnesty. Experience has already shown that these hopes were destined to be realised, and more will be done by the pro clamation than by the sword. The principal force of the insurgents lying in the fertile plain confined between the Cawnpore and Lucknow road and the right bank of the Gogra, it was against this portion of the country that the commander in chief turned his principal efforts, and there he led in person. - .Whilst Sir Hope Grant moved up from Sultanpore Lord Clyde himself advanced from Suraon and Pertaubghur, sending on his advanced guard under Brigadier lVetherall. Sir Hope Grant's column left Sultanpore on the 26th of October, and, taking the road to Lucknow, reached Doudpore on the evening of the 27th; a march of seven miles brought him to Kundoo- Nullab, passing some formidable entrenchments lately held by the "Nuseerabad brigade. The encrny appeared determined to contest the Ipassage of the, nullah. Sir Hope Grant accord- /a PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. ingly pushed on his cavalry and light artillery, part of which, crossing the bridge on the nullah, encountered and drove in some of the rebel cavalry near Jugdespore, killed 30, and captured two guns. That night the camp was pitched at Jugdespore. On the 28th the fort of Mohonah, off the main road, was found evacuated, and occupied, a few of the rebels making their escape across the Goomtee, and thd , rest being driven to the west ward. Sir Hope Grant, with the main body, ad vanced to Aheytah, ten miles south-west of Lall Madho's fort of Amaitee. Brigadier Wetherall, with the first troop of the Royal Horse Artillery, a company of Foot Artillery with siege guns, 79th Highlanders, the Belooch battalion, 9th Punjaub Infantry, the Ist Sikh Cavalry, and Delhi Pioneers, had at the . same. time carried out a parallel move ment, marching from Suraon to Debrai on the 25th, and thence onward to Rampore, eight miles south of Aheytah, where he arrived on the Bth of Nov. Opposed to, him lay a strong body of the enemy occupying a fortified position, which, contrary, it is said, to the intention of Lord Clyde, he attacked and carried by assault. Everywhere throughout Oude instructions have been given as to the manner in which the amnesty shall be carried out. Wherever our jurisdiction extends the order for disarmament is vigorously carried out. With the surrender of the chiefs, and a population rendered powerless by being deprived of weapons, we may surely hope at n o di s t a nt period to place the provinces on the eastern bank of the Ganges in such a position that we shall be able to carry out all peaceful improvements and resume the collection of revenue.

The Bank of Bombay on the 11th inst. raised its rates of interest on loang 1 per cent, all round. Their char.'s is now for - loans, at or within three months, on security of government paper, 6 per cent. ; on security of goods, or for discount of private bills, 8 per cent. - The rates of the other banks arse 1 to 2 per cent. higher than those of the Bank of Bombay. The stimulus given to thedemand for money by increased trade leads us to look for still - higher rates shortly. Notwith standing the dearness of money, Government Four per Cents. have advanced during the fortnight 2 per cent., and are now 88 per,cent. Five per Cents. remain, as last quoted, 94 per cent. Business in bank and railway shares has been limited, and prices :aro rather lower. The greatest fluctuations have been in mercantiles, which at the date of the last mail were 9 per cent. premium, and are now quoted 51 per cent. premium. COTTON PIECE GOODS.—Since the last mail the demand for cotton piece goods has become very active, under the influence of which prices for most kinds have considerably advanced. Large transactions have bees entered into for arrival. EXCHANGE.—There is little change to note. A fair amount-of business -has been done at rates varying from the closing prices of the previous mail. Quotations are to-day : Bank bills, 2s. Ofd: Credits, 2s. Old. Docu ments,.2s. ld. PENINSULAR AND NORTH AFRICAN MAIL. The Peninsular axd North African Navigation Company's steamer Amazon, A. B.

Her cargo consists of 872 bags of cochineal, 85 bags of granilla, 33 pipes of citron ' 133 pipes of wine, 64 casks of brandy, 1,000 flasks of quicksilver, 182 casks of olive oil, 715 serons and 232 casks of almonds, 205 casks of gum, 1,264 chests of oranges, 89 chests of Tangerines, 305 elephants' teeth, 1 case of ostrich feathers, 98 chests of tea, 47 packages of sundries, and 4 cases of bullion. The Amazon brings a fair complement of passen gers. She experienced heavy gales on the outward passage between Lisbon and INlogador. On the 10th inst., off St. Vincent, spoke the company's steamer Warrior, outward bound; all well on board. Left at Lisbon the company's Madeira packet Visconde d'Altaguia. Commercial affairs in Morocco were improving, and the excitement against the Christians was subsiding. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Youx, Dec. 18. (Before Mr. Baron Watson.) James Atkinson, charged with the wilful murder of Mary Ann Scaife, at Hampsthwaite on the Ist of August last, was again put to the bar this morning. His Lordship took his seat on the bench at 9 o'clock this morning, and immediately proceeded to sum up the evidence, the details of which have occupied the Court for the last two days. He said —there were two issues raised in this trial to be proved to the satisfaction of the jury : first, that a murder had been committed by the prisoner ; and secondly, that the plea of insanity, as exonerating the prisoner from responsibility for the commission of such a crime had been established. The evi dence on the part of the prosecution left no doubt that a murder had been committed, and that that murder had been committed by the prisoner. The fact that the prisoner and the deceased were seen together, near the place where the crime had been committed, shortly before ; statements made by the prisoner to his brother of what he had done the morning after the murder ; the admissions the prisoner had made to the police officer who appre hended him ; the lengthy and detailed confession he had made before the magistrates—all clearly proved that the prisoner had committed this murder. But the real question for the consideration of the jury was, whether the plea of insanity which had been set up for the prisoner's defence was esta blished, and to this matter he begged their care ful attention. According to law every man was presumed to be sane and to possess a sufficient degree of reason to be responsible for his crimes, . until the contrary was proved to the satisfaction of the jury. To establish a defence on the ground of insanity it must be clearly proved that at the time of committing the act the party accused was labouring under such a defect of reason, from disease or imbecility of mind, as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing, or if he did know it, that he did not know he was doing what was wrong. Before going into the facts given in evidence to establish this plea, he thought it right to observe that this trial had occu pied upwards of 20 hours, above five of which had been taken up by speeches of counsel. When the Legislature passed the very wise law which allowed caura.4 to address the jury on behalf of prisoners it had been predicted that counsel would make the criminal courts a mere arena for the display of ad vocacy, and that the desire to obtain a victory, and to win a verdict would be the great object they would have in view rather than the investigation of truth. He, however, called on the jury to cast from their minds the advocacy of counsel, and consider fairly and simply the plea set up. Insanity might exist in the form of raving madness, but it was not confined to that form; it might exist in the form of idiotcy where the person afflicted was born without any mind whatever; or it might exist in the form of imbecility, where the mind, originally weak, could not be cultivated beyond a given point, and that, according to the evidence of the medical men called for the defence, was the condition of the prisoner. If they were satisfied by this evidence, and that it establishedd that the prisoner was insane at the time he committed the offence, then he was not responsible for his actions, and they must acquit him on this ground. He begged to protest against an opinion expressed by . one of the medical men called, that the commission of murder was of itself evidence of an unsound state of mind. The coin. mission of murder was of itself no evidence of in sanity. They had had examined before them three medical men of great eminence, and all, after a careful examination of the prisoner, said they held the prisoner to be of the class of insane persons they called " imbeciles." These gentlemen had given them the reasons on which they held the pi ironer not to be responsible. It was found that insanity in all its shapes was hereditary. Where it had been found in a former generation in a family it might be found in all generations. The effect of this evidence was, not that bec . ause his grand father or other members of the prisoner's family were insane that therefore he was, but that it cor roborated the evidence given on the part of the prisoner to show that he was of imbecile mind. The evidence of the doctors who had been so abused last night was but a link in the chain. Standing alone their evidence would have been extremely weak ; it would have only been a mere opinion ; but their evidence acquired strength when the early history of the prisoner was known, an? when the fact of hereditary insanity in his family was established, a branch of the ens to which the learned counsel for the prosecution had never addressed one obse] three hours on the subject. fence set up were entirely fo) the jury. his lordship then evidence. In commenting u, said he thought it was the du . to have tendered the Wesleyai who had attended the prisoner the duty of the prisoner. In truths of religion the insight . into the state and condition of the prisoner's mind ought to have been-set before them, that they might be able to arrive at a ,just and honest conclusion. The prosecntion had called two witnesses out of the castle to rebut the prisoner's evidenee,but had thought it rightto keep back the Wesleyan minister who at tended him. It was suggested, and it might be true, that that minister assisted the prisoner in writing the letters he had written which were relied on as proofs of his san it y ; an d , a f ter t h e ev id ence o f 1)r. Wi▪ nslow, that he could form no opinion as to the state of the prisoner's mind from the reading of these letters unless he knew the circumstances under which they were wr i tten, i t was, i n hi s opi▪ nion, the duty of the prosecution to have called the Wesleyan minister, to asc er t a i n w h a t par t (if any) he took in suggesting the subject matter cf those letters. It might be that this gentleman could add nothing to the eviden ce g i ven on t h e part of the prosecution ; but th e a b sence of th i s evidence left his mind in doubt. The jury must say, on the whole of the facts, whether the prisoner, when he committed the crime, which lie un doubtedly had done, knew what he was doing. If they believed that he knew the difference between right and wrong they must find him guilty ; if not, they must acquit him on the ground of insanity. The jury then retired, and, after an absence of four hours, returned with a verdict of not guilty, on the ground of insanity. The prisoner was ordered to be confined during her Majesty's pleasure. 1 Iv , ..) T ., rvatiott d': 4 . ;i ,...,.:. 4 3 . 11, The ; : - , -34 ----- ~' I r. ',\, 1r t eb i-: . : 'Filt:::-{' , ' 'l7 .

' lr -. i inculcati „ the.' • ea€ he would thus obtain PRINCESS'S THEATRE. So successful a worshipper of Thalia did Mr. Charles Kean prove when he recently appeared as Benedick in 0 Much Ado about Nothing," a character which he now repeats twice every week—that he now takes in hand a comedy of the more ordinary kind, the " Jealous Wife" of Coleman the elder, wisely using the three act version, which, while it retains all the droll situations of the original, is free from a vast quantity of ineffective matter. The cha racters of Mr. and Mrs. Oakley are comic iikthe generally accepted sense of the word ; they do not approach that ideal region which gives a poetical, and therefore a semi-serious hue, even to its gayest inhabitants; but they are decidedly to be laughed at, or laughed with, whenever they appear on the stage. Both,_ too, come in for their fair share of active and passive mirth. At first the cause of hilarity is the uncontrolled tyranny of the - lady and the abject humi liation of the gentleman. Afterwards the fun results from that table-turning which need not be traced to supernatural causes, but which shows how a petticoat government may very naturally be overthrown if it becomes too oppressive. When old comedies are revived in modern times the young men of the day are often surprised to find so much dulnes where their fathers found so much amusement. Their disappointment arises in a great measure from the inability of our actors to give the imaginary personages they represent all that life and colour which readered them so important in the "good old times." Hence, when two thoroughly genial and thoroughly accomplished artists, like Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, show their strength in the lighter department of their art, the opportunity of wit nessing their performances ought to be seized with avidity. Let it not be imagined for a moment that they are less at home in comedy than in tragedy. So admirable are they in "The Jealous Wife," that we are obliged to confess that, if they had never been seen in a tragic part, the more hilarious muse would, nevertheless, have rewarded them with undying laairels. Farcical huniour, and the power of representing the more eccentric diversities of human nature, are by no means uncommon at the present day ; but these have nothing in common with such impersonations as the Mi. and Mrs. Oakley of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean. The gentleman is no rare avis, that might not be met with in ordinary social circles. He is simply a rational, courteous, well-bred, high-principled man, who, in an evil hour, has allowed the reins of domestic government to slip into the hands of his wife, who has been but too ready to take them up. Neither is there anything exceptional in the lady. She is sus picious, quick to take offence, and to divine evil where none exists; physically energetic when her temper is roused, and, at such a juncture, not strictly regulated by the laws of social decorum. It is in their wondrous delineation of the extraordinary emotions, that are produced in two ordinary individuals by a concatenation of circumstances, that the genius of Mr. and Mrs. Kean for comedy, in the best and highest sense of the word, is displayed. The bland submission of Mr. Kean, _the varied rage of Mrs. Kean, shadow forth th vicissitudes to which many a household is subjected throng the warring • elements of its interior. Caricatures, whil they awaken a laugh, rarely convey instruction; but who shall say that a lesson of self-control was not inculcated by such a delineation of domestic uncomfortableness as was effected on Saturday last by our .two great artists ? Many a man, who kept his thoughts to himself, doubtless felt that he had often been in the position of poor Mr. Oakley, and concealed beneath a laugh at the mimic griefs, a sigh over his own. Never did the two inimitable artists do them selves greater justice than in this most amusing comedy, their performance in which may be regarded as the graceful sport of the most exalted tragic genius.

The great bulk of these railway passengers are proceeding to and from the City and the western parts of London, and must, therefore, cross the Thames by one or other o f the bridges. At least nine-tenths of the whole cross the nearest, which is London-bridge—nearly 30,000 on foot, 10,000 in cabs, and the remainder in omnibuses. It has further been ascertained, by careful inquiry, that a large proportion of those railway travellers who cross the bridge are destined for parts west of Holborn and Temple-bar ; and hence, to reach their destinations, they have to pass through the City thoroughfares in cabs, carriages, and omnibuse s , th e h um b ler classes mostly proceeding westward by the river boats plying to and from Hungerford-pier. The extent to which the thoroughfares are crowded by this flow of traffic west ward may be inferred from the fact that 2,010 omnibus jour_ t ity of Temple-bar, the wanhdolecheaof neys are daily performed between London-bridge station try t a h n r d ou p g la r s th w e which ps d e. pass Builder.

At this season the fever in Scarlatina is extremely typhoid, and the ulcerated throat is consequently very malignant. According to the report of the Registrar-General, on Friday, it is fearfully fatal. Three times more deaths are there weekly ascribed to this formidable malady than have been registered to it since 1845.
