Just published, price is., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps, SELF -PRE SERVATION.—A Medical Treatise on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela tions. 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 everyvariety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and eases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, derrradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages orlife, 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 numau being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional Jerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

She told her in tat Ad happened to her, a surgeon was promptly in at.. tendance, and every care was taken of the unhappy girl, but the character. of the - wound in her throat was so serious that she graduaLly. sank, and died in a few days afterwards. The murderer was appre hended within a few hours of the commission of this horrid crime. He was wandering about. his master's fields at Gateford, and. was in an excited state. His throat was partially cut, his shirt was bloody, and his coat sleeves appeared to have been recently washed. He said that he had inflicted the wound on his throat, and ac knowledged that he had also cut the throat of the deceased. Whenbefore the coroner the murderer trumped up a long and incredible story, the pur port of which was that a scuffle ensued between him and his sweetheart, both of whom - struggled to gain possession of the knife. During the conflict the young woman's throat was accidentally cut, and then she stabbed him in the throat with th e knife *od ran away, leaving him lying upon the ground. The dying declaration of the murdered girl entirely denied this statement, her account of the fearful scene being that Whitworth accused her of keeping company with another man, and beingun able to prevail upon her to take poison; he seized hold of her, threw her on the ground, put his knee upon, and with a knife cut her throat. Alt a. his condemnation the murder er b ecame ' peni . ent, acknowledged his guilt, and said. that he made the first attack upon his sweethearts being impelled thereto by what he afterwards discovered was an unfounded. jealousy. Under theconstant and zealoes religious instructions of the Rev:. J. E. M. y ouit temporary chaplain at the Castle, and th e R ev. J. Parkes,alVesleyan Methodist rainister,the murderer became very penitent, acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and that the jury, with the evidence a th n e y y o h ti a ie d r b v e e f r o d re ict th t e h m an , could of guilty.ldnothave H b i l s 'o m u g e h d t it t a n . prison - after his trial were not distracted relatives, thi‘pnly one who visited him being his brother-in-1A:- a fey days after he had received Mg' sentence. No petitions Were presented ,to the Home Secretary or other - "pearls adopted to get a mitigation of the punish ment ; but many persons expressed a strong sym pathy for the convict, the more so as the man Atkin son, for the murder of his sweetheart at Darley, under somewhat similar circumstances to for which 'Whitworth was sentenced to death, had been acquitted at-the same time on the ground of insa nity. The unfortunate man spent the greater part of Friday night in devotional exercises, and partook of the Holy Communion at an early hour on Satur day morning, after which up to the final act, at : l2 o'clock at noon,*he displayed great fortitude, and more than once expressed his belief that he should experience a glorious immortality. From 4,000 to 5,000 persons were assembled to witness the execu tion, and they behaved in a very orderly manner, with . the exception of some few, who called out " Shame ! Shame! bring out Atkinson." A man named Askern; living near Rotherham, was the executioner, as he was also in the case of the last two or three persons who havebeen hanged at York. A` out two minutes after the drop fell the struggles the the unfortunate man - ceased, and all was over. spectators soon after began to disperse, and at 1 o'clock the body of the murderer was cut down and interred within the precincts of the Castle.

By the arrival of the overland mail we have ad vices from San Francisco to the 25th ult., but they contain nothing of importance. The overland mail, with San Francisco dates to the 28th ultimo, has arrived at St. Louis. It is reported that the steamer Hermann had been libelled to satisfy claims of parties in New York. By way of the Tehuantepec route we have news from San Francisco to the 6th inst. The general intelligence was unimportant. Money was easy, mining about as usual, business quiet, and politics dull. The steamship Hermann arrived on the 27th ult. There had been two arrivals from London, .tnd one from Liverpool, but none from the Atlantic ports of the United States. The Golden Gate, which left San Francisco for Panama on the 6th inst., took a million and a half in treasure.for New York.

On the same day the Britannia (new line), with pro duce from the leeward coast and a mail, had left for England. On the 16th her Majesty's steamer Antelope arrived from the south coast, where she has been cruizing for the last two years. She will complete her term of service on the Sierra Leone station. At Bonny, Accra, and New Calabar trade had had not commenced, but it was expected to be renewed at the last port in a few days. At the other ports of call, and especially at Fernando Po, trade was dull. The Rainbow, of the Niger expe dition, with Dr. Bakie on board, was in that har bour, but would leave in a few days for the river ; Mr. Fairweather, one of the expedition, died there of dysentery on he Ist ult. In the harbour were also her. Majesty's steamships Viper, Triton, and Myrmidon. Her Majesty's ship Archer was at Lagos. The following vessels are reported :—At Bonny —The Grand Bonny, the Sunshine, the Clan Gregor, the Magnolia, the Ferozepore, the Ben Ledi, the Mississippi, the Emperor, the Albro and the St. Andrew and the Osprey had just arrived. At Old Calabar—The Golden Age, the Africa, the Roderick Dhu, the Paramatta, and the Thornhill, nearly ready for sea. At Camaroons—The Lotty Sleigh, the Martin Luther, and the Elizabeth Emily.

The Sunbeam is reported to have left for England with 110 puncheons of palm oil and other African produce. Testimonials expressive of the passengers' entire approval of the accommodation of the Athenian and of the courtesy of her commander, were presented both on the outward and homeward passages. EXECUTION 4.71-YORE. The last penalty of the law was carried into effect on the drop behind the Castle, at York, on Saturday last, upon John Taylor Whitworth, who, as has been stated in The Sun, was convicted of the murder of his sweetheart, Sally Hare, aged 18, a servant of Mr. Cuthbert, farmer, Laughton-en-le- Morthen, near Gateford, in the county of Motting ham, and Rotherham, in the county of York. The murder was committed on the Ist of October, and the prisoner was tried at the Yorkshire winter gaol delivery, on the 20th December, before Mr. Baron Watson, was found guilty on very clear evidence, and sentenced to be hanged. The brief faCts of the case are as follows :—Whitivorth, who was 22 years of age, was assistant shepherd and farm servant to Mr. T. W. Machin, at Gateford, about five miles from the house of Mr. Cuthbert, where Sally Hare lived. Whitworth. and Hare were sweethearts, and had been so for nearly three years before the melan choly event to o k pl ace w hi c h has caused the death of both. On the 30th of September Whitworth went to see his sweetheart, and was permitted to remain in her company after Mr. and Mrs. Cuthbert had retired to rest. The murderer and his victim took supper together, and then sat by the kitchen fire till about one o'clock, when he made indecent pro posals to the girl, and tried to take improper liber ties with her, but she indignantly repelled his ad vances. The murderer was annoyed at not being able to accomplish his purpose, and prepared to depart. He prevailed upon the young woman to accompany him a short distance on his way home to Gateford, the night being very fine and starlight. After they had walked about 300 yards from Mr. Cuthbert's house, they proceeded on to Throapham common, a lonely place, and hero the murderer renewed his indecent solicitations to the gkrl, but without success.. He then charged her with keeping company with another young man, and the subject. angry words were used betw een them on subject. In the course of the a ltercation the mur derer proposed that he and h is victim should both take poison andeseduietd to do this, and ogetlwronthecorhme murdereron.The young woman refused then declared that he would kill her. He to o k. hold of her, threw her down on the ground, placed his knee upon her, pulled out his pocket-knife, opened it, and stabbed her in the neck, the blade penetrating to the bone. A violent struggle en sued, during which the deceased's hands and f ace were fearfully cut, and she succeeded in seizing her assailant by the hair, snatching the knife out of his hand, and throwing him down. The young wanton although so dreadfully injured, -liad sufficient THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1859. YOUNG ENGLAND OLD ENGLAND. (From the Spectator) Are there any young men in public life in Eng land ? It is a question not withdut interest, and it seems of peculiar import at the present time. The subject is started'in turning over the leaves of that useful little book, " Who's Who ?"—a sort of ad dress card-case for everybody. In spite of one's personal knowledge, which might suggest the fact, it almost surprises one to find that all our eminent politicians are men advanced in life. For instance, Gladstone and Disraeli are still called rising men, men of great promise ; and Disraeli especially is thought by certain solemn red tapists to have at tained his present post by rare luck and improper rapidity. But the Chancellor of the Exchequer is a middle-aged gentleman of 53, and Mr. Gladstone is only four years younger. Mr. Disraeli also has been 21 years in, Parliament, and Mr. Gladstone has been 18 years a Privy . Councillor. These two men brought each to politics a very rare genius, and yet it has taken each more than 20years of the wearying work and intense • intellectual effort of Parliamentary business to win rank among our consular men. Amongst all the Privy Councillors of the Queen there is not one man under 30 ; and there are only seven men under 40 (for we exclude the Duke of Cambridge, who attained the rank by birth). If we call 40 " middle-aged," we ,should thus find of the 231 righthon...entlemen all but eight are above that middle term of life—all but eight grave and reverend seigniors. The eight' youngest coun cillors are not all of that volatile and juvenile turn which might be expected. One, indeed, is the Duke of Beaufort, who has been too playful at Brighton, and four other noblemen (Castlerosse, Donough more, Newport, and Drogheda) are called right honourable, not because they give counsel to the Queen, but becanse they have, or had places at Court. The remaining three-" young" councillors are men who may be supposed to have graduated by State work to that position; they are Lord Stanley, Lord Naas, and Mr. F. Peel—three young men not remarkable for youthful effervescence or juvenile • indiscretion. Lord- Stanley is the very youngest councillor of the Queen ; the public regard him, however, as a man more grave, more solid than his father,-arid he has the heaviest responsi bility of any member of the Cabinet. Thus for a young man to rise high now-a-days he must be, by nature, very old—older than his own father. , Including the eight already named there are only 32 Privy Councillors under 50; and of the whole number (231), 131 are over 60. No one can say . that political life in England has rapid promotion. Nearly one-half of the 100 councillors under 60 are noblemen who attained the rank as a natural con sequence of their birth, and there would thus re main about 50 men (less than one-fourth of the whole) who obtain by political service the rank of Privy. Councillors before they are -60 years old. Young Cabinet Ministers are very rare ; exclud ingiLord Stanley, there was Lord John Manners who joined . the Cabinet at 34, the, Duke of New castle at 43, and Mr. Sydney Herbert at 40. These three are our youngest public men of Cabinet rank ; but in that rank, though not in connection with home offices, is Lord Dalhousie (who was a Cabinet Minister at 31, and is now only 43) and Lord Cannins., who is only 46. At the other end of the illustrious roll-call we find that the Queen's oldest councillor is the Marquis of Lansdowne, who was called to the Privy Council in 1806 (the year Pitt died) ; and next is Lord Palmerston, who this year completes half a century in the councils of the Sovereign. The oldest man in the Privy Council is Lord Lyndhurst. It looks like an odd reversal of parts to find that if the Queen or the public required a well-matured statesmanlike plan,showing the results of experience and grave thought, they might wisely select to prepare it the youngest councillor and the youngest man in the council (Lcrd Stanley) ; but if the Sovereign or the country wished for an orator possessing an eloquence ever young, and ardent enthusiasm, for the expression of a national idea, -the eldest man in the council would be the best choice, and Lord Lyndhurst would do justice to the occasion. Reading the political controversies of last year, we also find that against' no man were there so many charges of "s levity," " indiscretion," " flippancy, ' as against the 1 ttc Premier—all but one, her Majesty's most veteran adviser. Are alt -our old men young, and all our young men old ? Mr. Disraeli, in one of the fierce debates of 1852, appealed to " the generous and the young at both sides of the house." In the present Parliament, the young then under 30 are but a minority of 50 ; of that .50 there are not many who at pre sent give public promise -of !political eminence. Amongst the few are Lord Ingestre, the Hon. George Byng, Sir John Ramsden, the lon. W. F. Denison, and Lord Robert Cecil. Even if we add. the Hon. Wilbraham Egerton and Lord Caynham, there . are but eight rising young men in a house of 658. This gives point to a complaint that the large boroughs send us too many middle-aged mayors and manufacturers. But if a young man is thus discouraged from entering the Parliamentary career, are there hopes of more rapid success in the church, the army, the navy, the law, or the civil service ? Let us see. The youngest archbishop is Dr. Musgrave, of York, and he is a man of 70. The youngest bishop offers a fairer hope ; Dr. Bickersteth, of the see of Ripon, is but 42. Out of 35 other bishops there are but five under 50, and amongst the five we are glad to notice Dr. Tait of London •, his work requires an old head on a young body. Military service is not a much more rapid way of attaining eminent rank. There are but three general officers who have ob - tained that rank under 30 years' service ' • one of these, Sir John Inglis, obtained his rank for his very special service at Lucknow, but he has alto gether served as a soldier for 24 years. Major- General Mansfield, now chief of the staff in India, is the youngest in service (23 years) of all our general officers. The title of Knight Companion of the Bath is a high prize for our military men ; but there only four Knights under 50—Sir John Inglis, Sir Edward Lugaard, Sir Henry Storks, and Sir Robert Napier. The navy presents still slower promotion,but it is counterbalanced by the fact that boys can enter the service at an earlier age. The majority of officers in the navy do not attain the admiral rank until after 40 years'service ; of late, a small number have attained it after 35 years. The most rapid promotion on the list, and quite exceptional, is that of Rear• Admiral of the Blue, George Elliot, who has attained that rank after 30 years''service. The permanent civil service, including the Colo nial Government, is actually, contrary to what many would suppose, the department of the State where young men advance most rapidly to positions of high emolument and responsibility. Sir Charles Trevelyan was Secretary of the Treasury (with £2,000 a year) and K.C.8., at 40; none of his contemporaries running the race .of life in other branches could possibly attain an equivalent post or rank at so early an age. Sir Henry Barkly was probably the youngest civilian, not of royal blood, who has received the dignity of K.C.B. ; he was knighted at the age of. 37. Next to Sir CharleS Trevelyan s and like him, an eminent civil servant, is Sir Rich. Madox Bromley, K.C.8.; of last year, now 45, and holding the post of Accountant-General of the Navy. Of the three just named, Sir Richard Bromley is the most remarkable as an illustrative promotion in the civil service; for • Sir Charles Trevelyan obtained his rank and post through his Indian reputation, and Sir Henry Barkly through Colonial position (added, of course, to very high services) ; but Sir Richard Bromley has been all his life working up his way through the home civil service. It must be said, however, that though a few civil servants have won exceptional rank and reward, the men thus promoted are entirely too few, and that the claim of the service generally to titular honours is very grudgingly conceded. The law remains to be considered. The youngest judge of the United Kingdom is Judge Keogh, who was appointed to the Queen's Bench, Ireland, at the age of 38. It is no disparagement, however, of his remarkable abilities to say that he won his pro motion by Parliamentary rather than by legal work. Judge Willes was a judge at 39 ; Baron Bramwell at 47 ; Baron Martin at 48 ; Chief Justice Cockburn at 52. All the other judges were five, ten, or fifteen years older before they reached the bench. Ordinary knighthoods we do not take into account ; they are given often by chance, and sometimes for very routine reasons. There are very few knight bachelors, however, under 40 ; the only knight under 30 is Sir Charles Bright, who was knighted by Lord Eglint@n in the first enthusiasm at the supposed success of the Atlantic cable. . When Talleyrand heard talk around him of Young Italy,: young France, young England, he said, " What, are we to have governments of bibs and tuckers ?". But we more nearly realise the appreciation of one of the leading counsel in the " Clandestine Marriage," who, hearing that a junior is 40, says, " I wish you success, young gentleman." All our young men are 49. . AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The royal mail steamship Arabia, Capt. Stone, has arrived at this port, with advices from Boston to the 29th Dec.,.and Halifax to the 31st. She brings 73 passengers and 76,696 dols. in specie.. On the 31st ult. the. Arabia spok,.3 the United States mail steamer Fulton, 40 miles east .of Halifax, Jan. 4, in lat. 50.21 N., long. 36.45, she passed the American ship Baltic, standing to the southward ; on the 7th,•in lat. 51.50 N.,l6ng. 14.57, she passed the ship.Greenock, standing to the southward; on the Bth, 9.40 p.m., she passed the . steamer Europa off Holyhead. At four this morning the Arabia came into collision with a polacca-rigged brig tow ing out, and sent boats to her assistance. • The brig had lost cutwater and bowsprit, but was making no water. • The New York _Herald of Dec. 28 gives the fol lowing summary of news for Enropean circulation • " In the Senate on Wednesday quite a number of petitions in favour of a protective tariff were p7e sented and referred. A bill was introduced autho rising the removal of the revenue offices located at the New York Quarantine station. A resolution. was adopted calling on the State department for all the correspondence relating. to the suspenSion of diplomatic intercourse between Mexico and the United States. The PostrnaSter-General was in- structed• to report what changes in the postal laws are necessary to, render the •PoSt-office department - seltsupporting. A joint.. resolution, authorising certain naval officers to receive complimentary testimonials from the British Government, was adopted. A bill was introduced_ appropriating a million acres of land for the support a:free schools in the district of Columbia. In executive session the naval appointments sent in the day previous were all confirmed. In the house the bill granting. pensions to thesoldiers of the war of 1812 was passed by a vote ofl3o to 73. The bill appropriating 8.52,000 dols. for invalid and other pensioners,- and the bill ap propriating 181,000 dols. for support of the Military Academy, were - also passed. A series of resolutions referring various portions of the President's annual Message to appropriate standing committees, were offered, and in committee of the 'whole the topics of the Message were discussed. Mr. Geo. Taylor de livered a speech supporting the foreign 'Alley of the Administration,: and especially with reference to the complicated state of our relations -with Central Ainerica. Mr. Davis of Mississippi, asked leave'to offer a resolution directing the Committee on. Foreign Affairs to report a bill authorising the President to take possession of Cuba. The house, however, refused 'to . Entertain the proposition. "The news from Washington is in some respects. important. In Congress on Thursday the Senate refused, by a vote of 28 to 20, to take up the bill passed by. the house at • the last session giving lands to colleges in aid of education in agriculture and the mechanical arts. A bill granting a pension of 30 dols. per , month to the widow of Col. Turnbull was passed, A bill regulating the manner of choos ing United States senators was presented and re ferred. The Senate will meet in the new chamber on the 4th of next month. A large number of new subjects was started in the house, among them a bill of 1,000,000 dol to enable the President to settle our outstanding difficulties -with Spain and acquire possession of Cuba. It was referred to the Com mittee. on Foreign Affairs. The civil, navy, diplo matic, executive, and judicial appropriation bills were,reported. A bill to repeal the . English act for the admission of Kansas was introduced by Mr. Bingham, Republican, of Ohio,. and referred to the Territorial Committee. A special committee was ordered to investigate the accounts of the late Superintendent of Printing, with power to send for persons and papers. Both houseS stand adjourned till the 4th of January. "It is stated that the Government has received information of a filibustering expedition, destined for Nicaragua, fitting out at New Orleans, and the federal officers there have been instructed to use the utmost vigilance to supress it. "The Senate has passcd.a joint resolution treat , ing temporarily the brevet grade of admiral, in order that it• may be conferred upon the gallant veteran Commodore Stewart, as in some degree an offset to the harsh treatment he has experienced - at the hatidg orthe retiring board. - A similar pro . position has been introduced in the house, and it will no doubt pass soon after the recess of Congress. " The session of the Senate was 'opened on Thurs day by prayer by Father Boyle, a Roman Catholic priest. He was arrayed in full costume, and a great number of priests, also in vestments, assisted on the occasion. There was a numerous attendance of spectators, and it is reported that the . novelty of the scene occasioned no little conversation, while the apparently devout aspect of the Senators led to the belief that the services created an unusual impres sion upon them. "The Commissioners, of the Patent-office, with the concurrence of the Secretary of the Interior, has issued circulars to certain of the leading agri culturists in different sections of the Union to attend a convention to be held at the Patent-office build ing on the 3d of January nex, at 10 a.m., for the purpose of discussing such facts in practical hus bandry as may have come under their experience and observation, and of suggesting means by which our crops may be increased, improved in quality, and made more profitable to the producer. The department will allow the delegates a mileage of five cents. to Washington and back, with an addi tional sum of twenty-five dollars to cover their hotel expenses. " The feuds of the border ruffians of Kansas have . burst out afresh. It is reported that the notorious Montgomery, at the head of 200 men, attacked Fort Scott the other dao and captured the town, killing half a dozen of the inhabitants in the melee. The object of the • assailants was to release one of their band, who was in confinement on a charge of murder. It is furthermore reported that a gang of Kansas marauders had ravaged' Vernon county, Mo., killing a citizen, and carrying off valuable spoil in the shape of horses, cattle, and negroes. Other depredations and murders are also reported, but we have no doubt that they are all greatly exaggerated. "Christmas was very generally observed through out the city on Saturday. Among the most inte resting celebrations and festivities were those at the Home for the Friendless. 300 little children who are there cared for were present, many of them singing and speaking very prettily. Between o ne and two thousand persons visited them during the day, taking them numerous presents. " As an instance of the growth and importance of our trade with Bermuda we may mention that within the past few weeks upwards of 16 vessels have cleared at this port with full cargoes for those Lslands. " The packet-ship Daniel Webster, Capt. Spen cer, arrived at this port on Thursday from London, having on board the captain and crew of the British ship United Kingdom. This vessel sailed from Quebec on the 6th of Oct., bound for Bristol, Eng land. She encountered severe weather, and on the 7th ult., during a heavy gale, sprung her rudder, l and subsequently, in another gale, lost it altogether. She also sprung a leak, and on the 14th ult., when fallen' in with by the Daniel Webster, had five feet, water in her wells, was leaking at the rate of three feet per hour, and was almost unmanageable. The captain and crew of , the unfortunate ship saved little or nothing of their effects. Capt. Spencer reports, Sept. 20, in lat. 43.30 long. 43, on the out-, ward passage, passing among a large number of dead bodies, swollen and distorted, with seabirds preying on them. They were, no doubt, of the steamship Austria's passengers. They were nearly together, in groups of two and three. " The steamship Karnak arrived at this port on Saturday, in 21 days from Liverpool. She expe rienced very heavy weather. The Karnak will hereafter run between New York, Havana, and Nassau, N.P. " The Vanderbilt steamship Aria, which sailed from Havre by way of Southampton on the Ist inst., arrived at this port on Sunday evening from Halifax. She left Halifax on the 23d inst., in command of Capt. Brown, who succeeded the late lamented Captain Ludlow." STATE OF THE MARKETS. The sales 4cotton yesterday (Dec. 27) embraced about 900 bales, closing • dull, without quotable change in prices. Dealers were disposed to await the receipt of later news, due by the Asia, before doing much. Flour was in moderate demand, while the sales were light and. prices without change of moment.

By Order of the Directors. WILLIAM SAMUEL DOWNES, Actuary.• IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. THE ARRESTS. Everything continues tranquil, and the excite ment created by proclamations and arrests has past away, leaving scarcely a bubble of effervescence be hind it. An investigation into the case of the pri soners arrested in Callan and Kilkenny is to be held to-day, but, as usual, the inquiry is to be strictly private; even the nature of the evidence to be brought forward is a strict secret, and confined to official bosoms. It is said that in various places parties -who have anticipated midnight visits from the constabulary have disappeared suddenly from their residences, and are now on their way to the land of the free across the Atlantic. The _Kilkenny Moderator—Government supporter—alluding to the captures effected in that quarter, observes :4-- " The station in society and ages of the several per sons already arrested evidence two matters of great importance, viz., the personal meanness and obscu rity of the several members, andstheir accessibility to external and factious influence, owing to their want of experience and to that enthusiasm which belongs to youth, and is sure to be, in most cases, unaccompanied by discretion. The club, so far as we can interpret it through the arrests already made, is one not either serious or formidable in its charac ter or. constitution. It appears to be eschewed alike by men of any position in society and by almost all but silly youths or overgrown boys of the mannikin bent, who would be men, or even heroes or martyrs, before their time, without ever looking before they leaped, calculating consequences or considering the difficulties to be surmounted be fore the Phcenix or resurrection, or ratherinsurgent theory, could be realized. Looking thus at the despicableness of the society, the question comes to be considered,--Is the Irish Government justified in stilting it into importance by instituting State trials, or even trials at the ordinary assizes, to de cide on the issue? Might not the boys' be dis posed of at petty or quarter sessions, be sent to gaol and subjected to treadmill exercise, to give them time for sober reflection, convince them of their foolery, and cool down their distempered enthusiasm." The Roman Catholic clergy meanwhile continue to exhort their flocks to discountenance all secret societies. An Athlone paper says—" After the cele bration of mass on New Year's-day, the Venerable Archdeacon O'Reilly again warned the congrega tion against having anything to do with secret societies, pointing out, to them the evil conse quenCes which were certain to result from such illegal confederacies. He denounced them as op posed to the laws of God and man, and referred to the arrests made in parts of the country as instances of the danger which attend those who would con nect themselves with -secret associations. The words of the venerable archdeacon appeared to leave a deep impression on his hearers." MIXED MARRIAGES. The Evening Mail has the following remarks on the re-marriage in Rome, according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, of the - Marquis and Marchioness of Sligo. Dr. Cullen having deter mined to carry out the decrees of the Synod of Thurles to the very letter, all efforts to procure a dispensation from the Court of Rome proved abor tive, and every obstacle to prevent the marriage from taking place was thrown in the way by the church authorities at home and abroad. The lady however, remained firm, and eventually the cere mony was solemnized by . a Protestant clergyman. The intolerant decree being thus practically set at nought, it doubtless struck Dr. Cullen and his abet tors that the next step on the part of the recusant would be a total secession from mother church, and as the latter has an especial love for her titled chil dren it was deemed the safer policy to strike after a faint show of resistance. Hence, probably, the reported good offices of Monsignor Talbot in the adjustment of the delicate difficulty. " The Papal prohibition of mixed marriages," says the Mail, "having gone forth in Ireland, one condition was intimated on which the strictness of the law might be relaxed—namely, that the whole family of the next and of all future generations should be given over to the exclusive tutelage of Rome. Had the Marquis of Sligo submitted to that modest stipula tion he would have found no obstacle that a £lO note could not remove in the allegation of kindred which was set up against his proposed marriage with the lady on whom he had placed his affections, for her sister had been united by episcopal hands, but a short time before, to a gentleman who stood precisely in the same relation. The noble lord, however, was firm, and the young lady, with a spirit and intelligence which reflected the highest credit upon her bringing up, disregarded the flimsy pre text, and gave her hand as freely as it had been asked, without abandoning principle on her side, or requiring a base abnegation of it on his. The gross and ribald defamation which was, forsooth, launched at her ladyship's good name from a privi leged quarter it must be painful to her and her friends even to remember ; we, therefore, shall no further refer to it than to state that the indignation which it provoked was not confined to a single family. The. Roman Catholic gentry of Ireland highly resented it ; and it was the expression of their disgust and displeasure, conveyed very plainly throuqh Monsignor Talbot on the occasion of his late visit, which brought the Pope to consider the impolicy of lording it too imperiously over that im portant class. Hence the invitation to Rome, and the amende honorable which has been there offered for the scurrilous invectives of " Mee Lard of Clon fert." [ADVERTISEMENT.] SIGHT AND HEARING..— SPEC.

A public meeting having been called at Stroud for next week, to hear the statements of the mem bers on the ,political questions of the day, Mr, Scrope has issued an address to the constituency, in which he says he does not avail himself of this opportunity of addressing the electors, because in the present misty and uncertain state of the political atmosphere,': he has " nothing definite.:or positive to state to them." He adds :—" I'confess that I look back with some disappointment on the proceedings of the last parliamentary session as productive of small benefit, with the exception of the change in the government of India—a change, after all, more nominal than real. I regret, also, the unhappy misapprehension of the public feeling with respect to the foreign refugee question, which led to the substitution of a Conservative for a Liberal Ministry ; but, in common with the rest of the Liberal party, I have been satisfied that the present Government should be allowed a fair trial, more especially since they appear to have adopted to some extent a Liberal policy, and I await with some anxiety and no little curiosity the prOduction of their measures in the next session, and particu larly that which they have undertaken for the far ther reform of the national representation. Until these measures are developed little can be said beyond vague generalities." On the subject of reform Mr. Scrope says :—" With regard . to reform there are certainly many persons at present not possessed of the Parliamentary franchise, who, from their intelligence and education, may be safely-and advantageously entrusted with it. It is also unde niable that some localities possess More, some less, than their just proportiun of the entire representa tion. I think a favourable opportunity is now afford:a for the correction of these anomalies. Moreover, I have always been of opinion that the voter should be protected in the conscientious exercise of his suffrage. While, however, lam a Parliamentary Reformer to this extent, I may say that I shall not be found to support any extreme and hazardous changes. in the machinery of our re presentative system, which, in its present form, has, throughout the long time during which your con tinued kindness has enabled me to assist in its working, been productive of so much beneficial legislation, and has indeed. I believe, moved quite as fast in the path of progress as public opinion would permit. Moreover, the contrast exhibited during the same period by other countries in which fundamental- institutional changes have been at tempted with results fatal to liberty, does not encou rage us to risk a continuance of the blessings we have been all along enjoying by any rash experiments of that, kind ; and I shall deeply regret if, as some persons anticipate, a year or two are to be spent in the agitation of such proposals, which might be much better employed upon measures of practical improvement, the only true object and end of Parlia mentary representation." In conclusion, he expreses continued confidence in the late Ministry. MR. JOHN ABEL SMITH, M.P., ON _REFOR.3I, Mr. J. A. Smith, the Liberal member for Chi chester, addressed a crowded meeting of his consti tuents in the Council Chamber on Friday night. Mr. SMITII, in the course of his remarks, said ho was one of those who wished and meant to trust the people, .and in this spirit he approached the great question of reform. He denied that it would he an organic change to have a large extension of the suffrage—(cheers)—that it would be an organic chance to take the m em b ers f rom th ose p l aces which in the course o f ti me h a d b ecome re d uce d i n importance and population, and give them to those places where trade and commerce had drawn together large numbers of people. (Hear, hear.) He could not understand the persons who called themselves Liberals, and said they did not want any change at all. (Hear.) He held in his hand the manifesto of the Birmingham Reform Association, who fiist stated what. they wanted, and next why they wanted it. They wanted a large extension of the suffrage—(cheers)—they wanted vote by ballot —(loud cheers)—and they wanted a more equal apportionment of members to population. (Cheers.) Now, he wished his constituents to know that he was in favour of a very large extension of the suf frage--(cheers)—that he was in favour, of vote by ballot—(great cheering)—but if the Birmingham gentlemen, when they talked of a more equal apportionment of members to population, meant electoral districts, he did not agree with them —(hear)—because he did not believe that such an apportionment would be acceptable to the mass of the people of England (hear, hear) and he considered that old arrangements and old associations. possessed great importance With regard to the present Government, there was an old proverb, that " necessity makes us ac quainted with queer bedfellows. And when h e saw Mr. Bright and Mr. Henley going together h e confessed. he did not like it, as it was, a st range amalgamation, which filled him with something like suspicion. (Laughter.)

(Cheers.) If, on the other hand, th ey i ntroduced a measure so unconstitutional and wrong as would transfer power from the boroughs to the counties, and give tho latter supreme influence, he should, of course, most determinedly oppose them.
