" 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 Spermatorrlicea and the various forms of disease which resemole 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 tho preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. l'ickford ; 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.

The reports from a Malta correspondent, which reach to the 22d April, announce the arrival there on the morning preceding, from Gibraltar, of the squadron under Rear-Admiral Rodney Mundy, consisting of the Hannibal (flag-ship), Renown, James Watt, and Agamemnon, ships of the line, and the steam corvette Scylla, which, added to the squadron under the Commander-in-Chief already there, brings up the present force in Malta harbour to nine sail of the line, besides the smaller vessels, the London having arrived from Cephalonia on the 17th, after escorting, with the Exmouth and Liffey, the Lord High Commissioner Of the lonian Islands on a tour to the Southern Islands, the last two mentioned ships having returned to Corfu. The Assurance, which was despatched to Messina on the 15th, returned to Malta on the 20th of April; and the Boxer, which left on the 17th for Catania and Syracuse, returned to Malta on the 21st, re porting all as quiet in these places, as the presence of a large and daily increasing garrison would natu rally command. Not so, however, in the country outside Palermo, Trapani, Marsala, and pleas ad jacent, with few or no garrisons, for which direction the Amphion left Malta on the 17th, to take the place of the Orion, which arrived at Malta from Naples and Palermo, on the 16th, and left for Gib raltar and Plymouth on the 19th, under canvas, being unable safely to steam from defects in her stuffing boxes, which render her being sent home necessary. She conveyed 55 naval and 25 military invalids,four soldiers' wives and eight children. The Victor Emmanuel left on the 7th, but whether for Corfu or Palermo is not known. The Neptune is under orders to leave Malta at a moment's notice for any point of Sicily, where the telegraph wires may point out her presence to be wanted for the protection of British interests, though from the fact of the frequent stoppage, under orders of the Go vernment of the Two Sicilies, of the working of the telegraph to Malta, intelligence of moment is more likely to reach this island by the ordi nary steam packets from Marseilles, and there fore the actual presence of a British ship-of-war in the principal ports of Sicily would be more satisfactory to British subjects there established than having to trust to summoning one from Malta, where, after all, so many ships-of-war can scarcely be needed. Her Majesty's survey ing vessel Firefly, Captain Mansell, for Beyrout on surveying duties, was under orders for sea at Malta, to be followed by the Medina, Capt. Spratt. The Intrepid, whose commander, Marryat, has shown some resolution in desiring the military com mandant to cease unnecessary firing from the citadel at night time to the alarm of the citizens, continues at Messina, and the Banshee at Constantinople, whence she will probably convey for a cruise as far as Trebizond Sir Henry Bulwer, her Britannic Ma jesty's Ambassador at the Sublime Porte, and later in the summer embark at the same port for Europe Sir Henry Rawlinson, who has resigned the Am bassadorship at the Court of the Shah. The following ships have commenced loading from the Military Store department at Woolwich, for foreign stations—namely, the Harbinger, Pro thesa, Weymouth, her Majesty's iron screw steam troopship Megrera, the Effort, Clara, Samuel, Prin ceza, Syria, Hannibal, Amaranthe, Maria, and Lauderdale. Her Majesty's screw steam gun-vessel Landrail, fitting for service at Woolwich, was yesterday hauled into the inner basin to ship the experi mental boiler manufactured from the design of the Earl of Dundonald, for trial; and the steam store ship Rhadamanthus was taken into the same basin, alongside the factory, to be fitted with the Hon. John Wethered's superheating gear. The Forte, 51, screw, Capt. E. W. Tumour, flag ship of Rear-Admiral Sir H. Keppell, K.C.8., went out of Portsmouth Harbour yesterdayat noon under canvas, and afterwards anchored at Spithead, where she took in her powder, shell, &c. She will sail from Spithead this morning for the Cape of Good Hope, calling at Plymouth to take in a mail. It was expected that his Excellency Sir George Grey, Go vernor of the Cape, with his familyand suite, would defer embarking on board the Forte until she arrived in Plymouth Sound. The Victoria and Albert Royal paddle yacht, Capt. the Hon. Joseph Denman, has landed her paddle shaft on the sheer jetty of the dockyard at Portsmouth. In the steam basin at Portsmouth, the Nelson, 91, screw, is expected to get up her steam this morning to test her machinery. She has her tanks in and stowed, and has commenced taking on board her cables. The Duncan, 101, screw; the Victoria, 121, screw ; and the Immortalite, 51, screw, have all got their cables on board, but have not yet received their tanks. In the four line-of-battle-ships belonging to the division of the Channel fleet at Spithead, there are now vacancies for 89 petty officers. The Russian screw steam-frigate Askold left Ply mouth Sound on Thursday with the customary salutes for Portsmouth. Her officers will probably visit the Great Eastern before sailing for Cronitadt. The paddlewheel steam-frigate Terrible, 21, Capt. Glasse, C. 8., in Plymouth Sound, received her powder on Thursday. The naval apprentice brig Nautilus, Lieut. W. B. Grant commanding, sailed out of Hamoaze on Thursday, and took her customary quarters between Millbay and St. Nicholas Island, Plymouth. The screw steamship Conqueror, 101, Capt. Ed ward S. Sotheby, C. 8., left Plymouth Sound under canvas on Thursday for Portland. The screw steam sloop Surprise, r,4, recently paid off, was towed on Thursday from Devonport Dock yard•to the west moorings in Hamoaze. The screw steam frigate Melpomene, 51, Capt. C. J. F. E wart, at Plymouth, is discharging her pow der, preparatory to going into dock. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty:--Lieutenants W. E. S. Brome, W. L. Martin, and....,A. S. Montagu, addi tional, to the Marlborough ; Lieut. C. D. Sanders to the Excellent, Lieut. 0. T. Lang to the Cressy, Lieut. J. Patton to the Bacchante, E. L.

The following sketch of the career of the late Austrian Finance Minister is taken from " Men of the Time :" "Baron Von Charles Louis Bruck, one of the I most eminent of the modern school of Austrian statesmen, was born October 18, 1798, in the duchy of Berg, on the Rhine. The early youth of Bruck was spent in the army of his country. He made the campaign of 1814-15 in the Prussian service ; and on the restoration of peace visited London, to seek a position in the army of the Hon. East India Company, but was not successful. Ia the year 1821, weary of the monotony of garrison life, he set out for the south of Europe, intending to join the Greek insurgents, subjects of the Sultan. Arrived at Trieste, he found some difficulty in procuring a passage to the scene of his expectations, and im proved the interval of delay by making the ac quaintance of several persons of considerable local influence, to whom he w as recommen d e d i n hi s letters. Before he could perfect the arrangements for his departure he received intelligence from Greece which convinced him of the hopelessness of his projected journey. While uncertain as to his future course of life, overtures were made to him by Trieste merchants, who had remarked the energy and practical turn of his character. He re solved to accept the appointment of Secre tary of the Trieste " Azienda Assicuratrice," a Maritime Assurance Company, which was obtained for him through the friendly zeal of Herr von Beyer • and having married the dau g ht er of Herr Buschele, another merchant of the same city, thence forth regarded Trieste as his home. The Assur ance Company failed, and it was Bruck's business to liquidate its affairs. The skill with which he accomplished this task so increased his reputation, that when, in 1830, he came forward with a plan of fusing all the small maritime assurance societies of Trieste, and consolidating them into one powerful association, he found the commercial community prepared to receive his proposition with a readiness that revealed the extent of the reputation which, in a short time, he had acquired. Difficulties presented themselves on every hand; established interests, private influence, and the power of custom, had to be struggled with—and this by a young man, and a stranger. But to all these Bruck's energy proved itself superior, and in 1833 he saw his scheme in operation. This important association, which was first announced as the Trieste Lloyds, but has long been known as the Austrian Lloyds, originally con fined itself to the business of maritime insurance, like our own great society of underwriters, from which it borrowed its name. In 1836, however, it extended its operations, and sought further to faci litate the commerce of the Mediterranean and Levant by the establishment of a system of steam-packet communication, which has obtained a world-wide repute, and is the greatest achievement of unaided commercial enterprise an Austrian can boast. The Lloyds packets at first made only the passage be tween Trieste and Venice ; they now afford the traveller the means of conveniently visiting all the principal seaports of the Adriatic, the Mediter ranean, and the Black Sea. Until 1848 Bruck was the chief director of the Austrian Lloyds. Intent upon founding a powerful maritime corporation, capable not only of insuring a mercantile pre dominance, with which large returns would be inevitably connected, but also of determining an im mense affiux of business to the port of Trieste, and of raising the consideration of Austria throughout the east, Bruck pervailed on the shareholders to forego a dividend during the early years of the association, and apply the profit s as new cap it a l f or the extension of their undertaking.. At the end of the year 1846, even before Bruck resigned the active direction of the Lloyds, the company had a capital of 3,000,000 florins, and a surplus income, available for dividends, of 198,000 florins. It has since deve loped its resources to a much greater extent; and although, whether as en insurance or navigation society, it is immensely inf€rior to our Englidh com panies—it is an institution which every Austrian must regard with national pride. It has contributed immensely to augment Austrian influence in the East; it has trebled the population of Trieste, and caused it to become an important centre of Mediter ranean trade ; it has made possible the existence of an Austrian navy ; and it has done this, doubtless, under the smile, but without the aid of a Govern ment. The year 1848 saw Bruck called to a new and more prominent scene of activity. The grave occurrences which at that period shook the founda tion of every state in Germany are well known. In the midst of these, Trieste received a summons to send its best representative to a national assembly, to meet at Frankfort, and deliberate on the affairs of the entire German nation. Bruck was elected by his fellow-citizens, and was proceeding to the Maine, when the Imperial Austrian Government appointed him its Plenipotentiary to the Lieutenant of the Ger manic Empire, the Archduke John. The Vienna Cabinet saw that itlwas!necessary to introduce new, courageous, and practical men to the service of the state, and as such Bruck, who, in his character of member of the Bourse committee had long been in intercourse with the Government, was recognised and employed. What fair opportunities were lost by the representatives of Germany at Frankfort is too _well , known. Bruck strove for the unity of Germany, and strove in vain, During his residence at Frankfort, however, he immensely increased his lnowledge of state affairs, and made the acquaint ance of distinguished political men from all parts of Germany. Upon his return from the Maine he was nominated Minister of Trade, and a member of the committee for elaborating the Austrian constitution of March, 1849, since abandoned. The committee had scarcely completed its work when Bruck was selected to negotiate with Sardinia. It was the first time that, in Austria, a merchant had been nomi nated ambassador•plenipotentiary, and the employ ment was one which the first diplomatists of the empire would have accepted with pride. He con cluded, with Count Revel and General Dabormida, against the protests of Austrian soldiers and diplo matists of the old school, such a peace as Sardinia could observe without degradation; and he, at the same time, improved the opportunity to adjust a frontier question, and some fiscal difficulties con nected with the wine and salt trade, which a more accomplished negotiator might have thought be neath his notice or unworthy of the occasion. The two commercial treaties with Parma and Modena the latter of which secured the free navigation of the Po, and prepared the way for a subsequent postal and customs union with Austria—were about this time brought into a very advanced state by the efforts of Bruck. Upon his return from Italy he devoted himself to the Ministry of Trade, a department new to the state system of Austria, and which he had to orga nise from its elements. He set resolutely to work, deposed the incompetent, encouraged the deserving, and gave scope for latent talent, until his ministry became a model of order and an example of effi ciency. He established a statistical bureau, and introduced a system of monthly returns; reformed chambers of commerce; concluded postal treaties with Bavaria, Prussia, and Saxony; reconstructed the postal administration of Hungary ; multiplied post-offices throughout the monarchy ; gave an ex tension of 1,000 miles to the electric telegraph ; and crowned his work by abolishing the interior cus toms line, which had separated the kingdom of Hungary from Austria, and by a revision of the Imperial tariff. He would have gone further in the work of reform, but every step he took was against the passive resistance of a jealous bureaucracy and the active opposition of a half-enlightened com mercial community attached to the prohibitive system. Within the cabinet he had his opponents, whom, even with the powerful aid of Prince Schwarzenberg, his firm friend, he could not always overcome. He laboured for the emancipation of trade, and contended at the council board that a true system of finance must admit and favour the rapid development of all the resources of the state. These opinions, and a strong conviction of the neces sity of reducing the outgoings of the Imperial Ex chequer, brought him into collision with the Finance Minister, and in May, 1851, he resigned, receiving the dignity of a Baron of the Austrian Empire. After his release from the cares of office, Bruck visited London during the season of the Great Ex hibition, and spent the remainder of the year in Trieste, where he was received with the warmest demonstrations of regard. In December, 1852, he was recalled to Vienna and sent to Berlin, where he negotiated with the Prussian plenipotentiary, Von Pommeresche, a commercial treaty between Austria and the Zollverein. Bruck had returned. I to Trieste and was occupied in tis favourite pur suits, when, in 1853, he was appointed to the most 'important post to which an Austrian diplomatist could be called—he was nominated Internuncio at Constantinople. His work was, first, to restore those earlier friendly relations of Austria with the Porte which had been so rudely displaced by Count Leinigen on special mission from Vienna, and afterwards to maintain the influence of Austria against that of Russia, France, and England. It will be admitted that this was no light task, seeing that the three Powers were respectively making armed demonstrations, while Austria professed no more than a neutrality friendly to the Porte. Whatever opinion may be formed of the policy of the Austrian Cabinet, there can be no doubt that it was faithfully represented at Constantinople by Baron Bruck. Fiom the departure of Prince Menschikoff from Constantinople (18th May) to the day of his recall, he was the appointed protector of the Czar's subjects in Turkey, and at the same time one of the chief foreign advisers of the Porte. lii efforts were always directed to the maintenance or the restoration of peace. Thus he opposed the declaration of war by the Sul tan in 1853, advised the acceptance of the Vienna note, and opposed, as far as he could, the original passage of the British fleet through the Dardanelles. The act with which his name is most permanently identified is the Convention of June, 1854, by which Austria gained a splendid military position on the Danube as far as to the Pruth, without incurring any further obligation than that of defending the same. At the commencement of 1855, Bruck was recalled to Vienna, to take charge of the Ministry of Finance, vacant by the resignation of Herr von Braumgarten." (From the Daily News.) Austria seems bent upon reviving the choicest traditions of the Caesars. The winding-up of the Italian war bids fair to hurry half of the eminent glen in that Empire to their last account. The other day it was a General, then an obscure name or two, and now it is no less a personage than the Minister of Finance himself, who finds it less diffi• cult to die than to face an audit. An army sacri ficed to jobbers is no new invention ; " there was once a contractor" is a capital resume of many an unsuccessful campaign. But a favoured and con fidential minister opening his veins and hastening his exit with a cup of poison is a picture in the man ner of that ancient master who burnt as with a hot iron into the memory of men the names of a Sejanus and his patron—of a Seneca and his pupil. But when the Roman wrote, historical Europe was still young, how much wiser and more humane the centuries have made us the latest heirs of time ! Our despotisms are enlightened, our erasers most religious and apostolical ; and we never hear of a monarch deliberately punishing with an ignomi nious death the desperate fidelity of a Minister, or politely suggesting to a prosy old philosopher to make himself scarce by the gentle application of a lancet in a warm bath. In Austria, for example— the keystone of the arch of European order, the citadel of divine right—the stronghold of pure manarchical principle—the quiet way in which an able and energetic Minister of Finance is suddenly announced to be " out of office," and the imposing ceremony with which he takes leave of his re-, sponsibilities, are a vast improvement upon the manners and customs of the Court of a Domitian. Tacitus has nothing more remarkable to relate than an occasional hint from the Emperor to some ob, noxious or inconvenient subject to try a change of air in the Elysian Fields. In our highly civilised epoch it is not permitted to a Minister of State to take himself off on such easy terms. Poor Baron Bruck, with the merciless precision and complete ness of a man of business accustomed to liquidations on the largest scale, cuts his throat from end to end, and both his wrists into the bargain, and to make the final settlement doubly sure and expeditious, drinks some solution of all earthly difficulties. It was reserved to Austria to surpass all her brilliant reactions and•revivals by this ghastly parody of the administration of the erasers. Are we, then, to be told that the cause of pro gress is compromised in that unfortunate Empire by the terrible fate of the only man who represented modern ideas at the Court of Francis Joseph ? Let us be careful how we point the moral of a tale of which we know neither the beginning nor the end. From as much as the official journals of the Aus trian Government have ventured to reveal we might, even without any affected reticence, hesitate to ad mit the conclusion that this illustrious and unhappy man was a culprit rather than a victim. Conjectures, in the absence of known facts, are scattered broadcast on every page of history far less credible; theories more ingenious, no doubt, but far less consistent with probability than one which might describe the death of Baron Bruck as the despair of a statesman tasked beyond ins strength, driven mad by the obstinacy and perver sity of the fools and bigots whom he served, and by the forecast of insurmountable calamities. The position of a Finance Minister in Austria is no post of honour or of ease in these latter days,-and the successor to Baron Bruck will be a prodigy of indif ference or of strength if he prove happier in his outgoing:than the colleague of Stadion and Schwar zenberg. It is no concern of ours to attempt to vindi cate the reputation of a man who has fled to a tri• bunal from which there is no appeal. A bloody shroud is the common destiny of the best and the worst under such a Government as the Austrian. Certain it is that Baron Bruck, who at the age • of sixty-two, in the maturity of his fame, in the enjoyment of all the rewards of fortune, has taken refuge from Imperial justice in the accusing silence of the grave, is the man of all others to whom the Austria of our day owes whatever of vitality it still preserves. And be his errors or his crimes what they may, not only Austria bat all Germany is under kin obligation to that Prussian soldier of 1814—that merchant of Trieste who founded the Austrian Lloyds—that representative at the National As sembly of Frankfort in '4B who contended for German unity—that 'Minister of Trade who con cluded a beaty of commerce between Austria and the Zollverein----that diplomatist who sustained the influence of Austria in the East during the Rus sian war—that Minister who revised the. tariff, reformed the postal service, resisted bigotry and privilege in every degree, restrained the bureau cracy, and by his fertility of resource, and energy of combination, alone for years preserved an empire wasted by intestine conflicts from irrecoverable ruin. If Baron Bruck, absolutely without tempta tion, was really the corner-stone of a gigantic arch of fraud, whom ought we blame—the man or the system ? What impulse, what reward, what recog nition has honest public service in Austria? Pub lic service ! Why, there is no such thing as public service in a State where an Emperor is all in all —where good and bad men alike breathe a stifling atmosphere of secrecy and repression which re laxes the conscience, enslaves the intellect, corrupts the heart. Even in a free country Baran Bruck might perhaps have languished in a counting house ; but as a statesman in a free country he would have lived and died without a stain. EGYPT. A letter from Alexandria, dated April 17, says : —.I have on several occasions had to refer to the financial embarrassments which of late have been gradually growing up and perplexing the formerly smooth course of the Egyptian Government. A sys tem of reckless expenditure—or rather an utter want of order and system, and - a habituarpractite df squandering money upon all sorts of extravagant and frivolous objects, are the main source of this great and serious evil ; but other causes have been at work, and among them must be reckoned the constant claims for indemnities of one description or another, which are incessantly urged against the Government, and which are hardly less remarkable for their success than for the monstrous and extra vagant nature that usually distinguishes them. The sums are always pitched at a high figure, and in the aggregate they tell heavily upon the Egyptian Treasury; indeed, they would form a serious burden to any country. A recital of par ticulars would, however, be more wearisome than interesting to most of your readers ; but there is one claim at the present moment against the Egyptian Government which in some points differ from those above alluded to. It, moreover, involves an important question of principle, and its decision must necessarily be of such vital importance to this country that I cannot dispense with offering you an outline of the case. Your readers are aware that according to the terms of the firman of 1840 the Government of Egypt is hereditary in the family of the late Mo.: hammed Ali Pasha, not in a direct line of succes sion, but passing from the eldest to the eldest of his descendants ; hence it is that at the death of the Viceroy his personal heir takes possession of his private property, while a more distant relative suc ceeds to the Viceroyalty. The difficulty, however, is to determine what is to be regarded as private property. The Viceroy is under the obligation of remitting a certain annual tribute to Constantino ple, but herewith all further dependence upon the Suzerain Power is at an end, and, after defraying the expense of the administration of the country, the surplus revenue, lately estimated at about a million and a-half sterling, has always been re garded as absolutely his own, to be applied to any purpose he may think fit. On the death of Abbas Pasha, his son El Hami Pasha succeeded to the property he had amassed during his reign, comprising the palaces and even barracks he had built and the lands he had acquired in various parts of the country out of his surplus revenues, besides a large sum in hard cash. In addition to these, however, the young Prince claimed the Alexandria and Cairo Railway,which it was argued was part of his father's estate, having been constructed out of the funds which were equally his private property as those who had served for other investments. The claim was disallowed, and at the request of Said Pasha the European Consuls-General were convened at a meeting, and signed a declaration that, in their opinion, the spirit of the Imperial fir man was to the effect that all works of public utility constructed out of the revenue were to be looked upon as the property of the State. Herewith the matter was dropped. El Hami Pasha was then a mere child, and shortly afterwards he left for Con stantinople, where a very few years have sufficed to squander away the magnificent inheritance he had obtained from his fattier. Now, however, he has returned to Egypt, making claims upon the Government to the amount of 14,000,000 sterling, the chief item consisting of the Alexandria and Cairo Railway, and of the rolling stock and mate rial which belonged to it. The consular declara tion, lie argues, merely represents the individual opinions of the persons present at the meeting, and is in no way binding upon him, but, as it would be hopeless for him to contend, single-handed, with the despotic Government of Egypt, he has made over his claims to three Europeans, who demand the intervention of the representatives of their respec tive Governments to see justice done to them. One of these claims to be a British subject, and her Ma jesty's agent and Consul-General thus also become involved in the dispute. But a technical question has arisen—namely, whether the party in question is in this instance entitled to the protection he de mands, and Mr. Colquhoun has, I am informed, refused to interfere. The claim has been re ferred to Constantinople ; but, as I have said be fore, it is the question of principle which is the main point, for, whichever of the two constructions might be placed upon the firman, the result to Egypt would be equally disastrous. If it should be decided that El Hami Pasha's claim is a just one, nothing would remain to prevent the Viceroys of Egypt from making use of the uncontrolled autho rity they possess to convert everything in the coun try—perhaps the land itself—into private property for their families. If, on the other hand, it be held, according to the opinions of the Consuls, that public works are the property of the State, it will become the sole interest of the ruler to amass and hoard every sum he can lay his hands upon. The con struction of railways will come to an end, the canals required for irrigation and for internal communica tions will fall into disrepair and become choked up, agriculture as a necessary consequence will become restricted to its narrowest limits, and the country must end by falling into almost utter ruin. The knot is one which cannot be unloosed, but must be dealt with in a summary manner, and this can only be done with the assistance of the Euro pean Powers who were parties to the settlement of 1840, and among these it is to the British Govern. ment alone that Egypt can look for real assistance. Other countries have taken but little pains to con ceal their utter indifference to its welfare, and, in deed, they have not the motives which compel Eng land to take a lively interest in the prosperity and independence of this country. The English peo ple, therefore, cannot stand by and see the source of public wealth and progress diverted into private channels for the purpose of feeding the cupidity or of gratifying the senseless indulgence of the Egyp tian rulers, and they will need to be prepared to exercise their just and legitimate influence towards obtaining the settlement of a public question such as the present, on the broad basis of general rights and justice, whatever may be the interpretation which, for the sake of individual interests, it may be sought to lay upon the letter of the law. The Pera, from Southampton, arrived yesterday, and her mails and passengers have gone forward to Suez, where the Nemesis has already arrived and is waiting to convey them towards their destina tions in India and China. The Marseilles portion of the mail is expected early to-morrow morning. It not unfrequently happens that complaints arise from the boisterous conduct of some among the passengers on their way through to or from India. They often exhibit their high flow of spirits by brutal and cruel treatment of the natives with whom they come in contact, and especially of the unfortunate boys to whose lot it may fall to drive their donkeys. Ido not remember, however, ever to hare heard of an i ns t ance t o equa l what occurred on the transit of the passengers by the last outward Bombay mail. A snail party who had arrived here by the China had gone apparently to visit the Alabaster Mosque in the citadel, the burialplace of Mohammed Ali Pasha, and hero they thought fit to conduct themselves in a manner which it is really difficult to describe. They hooted and yelled, slid on the marble pavement, and mimicked the tones and postures of the Mahommedans engaged in prayer. It happened that Said Pasha was present in the mosque. On hearing the uproar he sent one of his officers to the persons who were causing the disturbance, and requested them to desist and to leave the mosque, but they refused to do either, and their conduct became more outrageous than ever, until they were forcibly thrust out of the building. Said Pasha behaved in the matter with exemplary ' moderation and good sense, but he has naturally felt deeply incensed at what he views as a personal insult. _ _ _ Hui it not been for his presence the people in Tr's the Mosque would to a ecttainfr:4ll,S4 :missive, a nd th e d raw i ng of it. 81 ! i.1 blood would in all probability haN4--if trous results. In consequence of these . Mosque, which by the liberality of the Government was hitherto open to strangers, has been closed against all Europeans. I am informed that Mr. Colquhoun has reported the matter to Engl;:ind, and it is to be hoped that the names of the persons concerned will be discovered, and that means will be found to visit their conduct with some description of punishment. Indeed, such conduct on the part of men who, from the positions they occupy, might be expected to possess the manners and feelings of gentlemen, is a source of humiliation to all Englishmen. CIL UR 11,1 TES. .. In a book' which contains In — ore common sens e than is generally supposed, it is wz it ten that a lire dog is better than a dead lion. This is a truth which lies at the foundation of political reform and r Ig,ressive improvement. A large part of the world is e N i v nt a at ) i s lie, rill il t . i yo g u s ' through soi e ti .• i : .i z t l attires lion." I t buries n the mus t y hi de—it grins through the teeth and enta ' l Tsi regard :e ' l l o that which has been, and which time will never •es tore. But as man is a living thing, as lions and logs are made for man, and not man for either lions or, dogs, and as the means and appliances of his higher as well as his lower life ought to grow with his growth and strengthen with his strength, so the " hying dog," inferior though it b e , is infinitely more to his purpose than any dead remains. When houses become sepulchres, and institutions become prisons, it is time to leave them. We possess in this country a political dead lion, a fossil establishment, in the old chnich , rate. It pre-eminently a thing out of which'growth, and life, and sap have long departed. Pretending to be the maintenance of the Churcbifabrics, it grows not with the Church or its fabrics—At will not enlarge a church or multi ply churcheo,"Or follow the congregation, or retire from the spot viliereAt is noionger wanted, or with hold its clams froM the place or the people - whom it can lielb*A eer ben'el7C - 43neeextinguishedvit-oon. not revive—the dead branches fall off one by one, but there are no fresh shoots. It is no more a real tree than a tree in china, or in copper, or a com pilation of dead branches in a birdcage. There is nothing in modern institutions so stiff and unaccommodating. It is the shrunk arm that requires a constant; sling, or the shrunk limb that dangles uselessly by the side of the wooden leg. Such institutions there have been in times past, and much time has been lost in clearing them away, except, indeed, when the obstinacy of mankind let them accumulate till nothing but a revolution could do the work. A revolution, and a wild one, is th e usual Nemesis of a system which is oppressive with put being beneficial, and which rests upon right instead of use. Of churches, as well as palaces and Castles, it is found at last, that he that biildeth his house with other men's money heapeth up stones to his own sepulchre. Mr. Whiteside is one of those sentimental politi cians who care not how dead an institution be if it can afford a theme for an oration. He can bring excellent music out of marrow-bones. The Irish church rate, the vestry-cess, is no more, and the church there is all the stronger and quieter for the riddance ; but what of that ? The lesson is lost on Mr. Whiteside. He can trace the death of the English institution from its birth, and find it al ways failing, only to bid us rely still on this ob solete ne'er do well. It springs, he says, from the common law,;which common law has its origin in the interests and wishes of the . people. But ages ago common law ceased to enforce it, and neither common law nor any law has carried it to building a new church or maintaining a second church in a parish since the Reformation, even if it had ever done so before. The utmost research only establishes that the church rate was at best, and' in the first, a supple mentary aid, and an imperfect system, enforced by Church Law in default of any other, and left a mere matter of custom appertaining to particular fabrics. We need not travel out of this metropolis, summon any witnesses, quote any petitions, or cite any authorities, except those before all the world. On Thursday night the Bishop of London reminded the House of Lords that in the City of London, a space about a mile long and half a mile wide, with a population not much exceeding 100,000, there are 58 churches. Every one of these, we believe, raises large Church-rates. In the parish of St. Pancras there are about 200,000 inhabitants, or near twice the population of all the 58 City of London parishes, but sot a farthing of Church-rate is collected. Every church there is maintained entirely by pew rests and voluntary contributions. The same may be said of most of our large and populous parishes, such as St. George's, llanover.square, and St. James's, embracing the most aristocratic regions of the metropolis. In a recent appeal by the Bishop of London on behalf of Church Extension he stated that there were 60 parishes or districts each with one largercll u n r u cl il t i b f e o r r , l s o, om oo e o f s o o r u ls th , i m r t o y s tof . or forty fora y i th ou mh s a u n c d. For there cases, embracing the greater part of the metropolis, the Church-rate system is utterly incf feet lye ; either it has become obsolete, or, being still in force, it builds no new churches. But it is not with respect to large cities and the masses of popu lation that the controversy is maintained. The " dead lion" is lauded and upheld as the Pella- aium of the Church of Englund, not for the multitudes ready to perish for lack of shepherds and folds and spiritual food—not for people at all, but for the sake of some supposed miserable little fabrics somewhere on some mountain, or down far away from people, and therefore to be invested with a held upon property. Throughout the whole cf these discussions the people are put out of count. It is not for them that the rate is demanded, for, in truth, it is well known the rate does not give them churches, or even maintain the churches which they may build. It is demanded for a few fabrics— which we are invited to imagine may be found somewhere over the isle—under such very unfavour able circumstances, and already so near ruin wader the law of church rates, that without the rate they must fall to the ground altogether. But the very obsoleteness, inequality, and insuf ficiency of the rate, which condemn it in the eyes of a statesman, are its chief recommendations in the eyes of the Church sentimentalist. Because it is nothing but a principle, therefore it is invested with more mysterious virtues than would be attri buted to an institution in full vigour and efficiency. This is the old rule of all idolatries, which ever most worshipped that which was ugliest and most mutilated. There is a "principle" in a hideous black figure that scarce has a feature, or even a limb, which there is not in a beautiful and expres sive statue, much less in that which lives and breathes and has an eternal soul. In point of fact, the Legislature has long since repudiated, if ever it maintained, the duty of the State to keep up the fabrics of the Established Church. It no more compels that than it can be said to com pel a landowner to keep up the dwellings on his property. It never did more than give certain parishes the power of levying rates for the main tenance of certain fabrics that enjoyed a peculiar prescription for this purpose. It never compelled a parish to maintain a church which it might choose to let pass cut of repair. It did allow hun dreds of churches, even in the last century, to go out of repair and fall to the ground, till they have disappeared altogether: It never attempted to en force the maintenance of new churc hes. It only allowed a legal prescription to be urged in favour of some particular churches. Latterly, by a new interpretation of the old and doubtful law, it has left every parish to decide for itself whether it will keep up its parish church or let it fall to the ground, , a choice 'which every parish shares with every district, and every congregation of Dissenters in the kingdom. Such is the "principle," or mystic bond, between Church and State, which such speakers as Mr. Disraeli can tell us constitutes England's claim to the favour of the Almighty. It is this that elevates us to a fellowship with Ancient Rome, and all the old religious commonwealths of the world. It is this, and not any Divine truths, any priesthood, or any treasury of spiritual bless ings, that makes England a link in the golden chain that descends from the skies. If this be all, then we tremble for the parishes in which Church -rates never have been, and never will be, paid ; and still more for the impious fabrics raised and maintained by vulgar voluntary means. We tremble for the nation which has permitted at least five thousand churches to rive up since the beginning of the cen tury wholly outside the pale of the compulsory rate. We cannot believe it was this preternatural view of the rate which led the house to pass the third reading of the bill before it last night by so small a majority as 9. We presume it must be alarmed or disgusted by Mr. Bright's donaging advocacy of the measure. That advocacy is no con cern of ours. "We feel this to be a Church, not a Dissenting, question. We see neither necessity nor sanctity in a rate w hich vestries may levy as they please, which is only demanded for two churches out of three, and even fox them is wholly unneces sary.— Times. MRS.
