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 equally 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 Spermatorrheea 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. (From the Morning . Post ) DR. LIVINGSTON'S EXPLORATIONS IN TILE INTERIOR OF AFRICA.—The indefatigable researches of Dr. Livingston have suddenly made us accquainted with one of the happiest people in the world, of whose very existence little was hitherto known in civilised Europe generally. — The province of Angola, Dr. Livingston writes in the " Jour nal of the Royal Geog.raphiaal Society," possesses great fer tility and beauty, and its capabilities, both agriculturally and commercially, are of a very high order ; indeed, I do not fear contradiction in asserting it to be the richest in Western Africa. The great scientific traveller, who spent 16 years among this favoured people, has had ample opportunity of studying their physical and moral condition, and his details are most curious, They appear indeed to enjoy an Elysian felicity, reqttiring neither physic nor the physician, for Dr. Livingston found their staff of life to be the Revalenta Ara bica Food, which keeps them perfectly free from disease, "con sumption, scrofula, cancer, kc., being scarcely heard of, and the small-pox and measles have not been known for twenty years.' In England also the Revalenta Arabica has produced a wonderful improvement in the health of the people, remov ing cough, consumption, asthma, debility, indigestion (dys pepsia), constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, and restoring the faculty of digestion, and nervous and mus *Car energy to the most enfeebled, as proved by testimonials from the many thousand well known individuals, whose health has been restored by this useful and economical diet, after all other means of cure had been tried in vain for many years, and all hopes of recovery abandoned. We extract a few expressions of gratitude from invalids thus cured.

BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families i■ the lAnd is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonto Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. A sample case, containing three full-sized wine bottles, will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s. 6d., or a dozen for 245. It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating the digestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wino is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To prevent imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm.

Wilmot, whose leg was unfortunately fractured and uncle dislocated while superintending the lowering of a pinnace in Devonport Dockyard, on Wednesay afternoon, is under cure at the Royal Naval Hospital, Plymouth. It will afford much satisfaction to his friends to know that he may be able in about two months, to resume his services on board. Admiral Sir Alex ander Milnes' flagship will probably not be able to leave Plymouth for her station, the West Indies, before April. The Lords of the Admiralty have granted per mission to the artisans of the Devonport dockyard, to form themselves into a rifle corps. The new screw steam gunvessel Espoir, 5, recently launched at Pembroke, was appointed to leave that port for Plymouth on Wednesday in tow of the steam tender Lightning. The paddlewheel steam tender Sprightly, G. Allen, master, from Portsmouth, arrived on Thurs day at Plymouth with a portion of the crew of the Emerald, absent on leave. _ _ . A circular has been read to the men belonging to the ships in ordinary at Plymouth. Warrant officers are, it is said, to rank with second masters ; sick attendants are to have alditioual pay . ; and ships' cooks are to be entitled to a bounty if - they enter for 10 years. The screw steam frigate Melpomene, 51, arrived at Portland, on Thursday afternoon, from Spithead. The screw moorings for the coal-hulk Pitt are now placed in a central position in the harbour, and the vessel is daily expected from Portsmouth. The hired transport Khersonese, Capt. Hurst, laden with 2,000 tons of war stores for China, left Woolwich yesterday at 2 p m. for Greenhithe to be adjusted for sea. Mr. R. Day, who served in the Field Train during the Crimean war, and who was transferred (on the dissolution of that corps) to the military store department at Woolwich, has taken passage, together with 12 naval cadets, for service in China. The Khersonese is being fitted with all the appliances for a speedy and safe passage, and is expected to be under canvass a great portion of her voyage. She is supplied with a disconnecting screw, which will only be made available in case of con trary winds or a calm. Lieut. Douglas, R.N., has taken charge, as Admiralty agent, and embarked from Woolwich. Mr. Francis Henry May, master of her Majesty's steam guardship of Coastguard Hogue, who arrived at Woolwich on Monday last, in charge of 26 sea men, to navigate the tender Harpy round to Greenock, was yesterday appointed to the 11 screw steam frigate Forte, commissioned by Capt. E. W. Tumour, to carry the flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Keppel at the Cape of Good Hope. The military store steam-transport Lord Panmure, H. T. Moore master in charge, yesterday returned to Woolwich, having discharged a cargo of obsolete stores from Portsmouth at the Tower. She is under orders to ship shot, shell, &c., for Portsmouth. The following appointments weremade yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. J. J. W.

FUNERAL OF THE L •ITE CAPTAIN ITAR_RISON. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. To-day the mortal remains of Captain Harrison were interred in the family vault in St. James's Cemetery. Never since the remains of Huskisson found a resting-place in the same cemetery was respect paid to the memory of any man. From the Lime-street terminus of the London and North- Western Railway to the burial-ground, crowds, disregarding a heavy rain, and streets 'ankle-deep with snow, paid their last mournful tribute of re spect to the remains of a man who conferred, un- assumingly, an honour on the port. The name of Captain Harrison in Liverpool was always received with respect, but never until to-day was such deep respect manifested. The coffin, which was conveyed from the Lime street station of the London and North-Western Railway at about half-past 10, was placed in an unassuming hearse, drawn by two horses, and fol lowed by five mourning coaches, containing the re latives of the deceased and chief mourners. The cortege was completed by about 200 gentlemen on foot (belonging to the mercantile marine of the port), and 40 or 50 private carriages. The following directors, &c., of the Great Eastern Company took part in the procession :—R. J. Roy Campbell, Esq., chairman te the company; Wm. Jackson, Esq., deputy chairman ; Thomas Bold, Esq., managing director ; Montague Seanson, Esq., solicitor to the company ; A. M'Lennan, Esq., chief engineer; John H. Dillon, Esq , London; J. Trotinan, Esq., London; J. S. Oakford, Esq., Lon don ; Thomas J. Jackson, M.P. ; Wm. Tacksoii; jun. ; Thomas H. Bold, S. H. Bold ; Hedger, Esq., harbour master, Southampton ; M. Westhorp, D‘q. ; W. Lyn, Esq., superintendent engineer Portsmouth Dockyard ; Charles Gray, Esq. ; opti cian ; W. Woods, Esq. (Wood's Anchor Works.) All along the line of procession the number of spectators was immense, and not less than 30,000 or 35,000 people followed the cortege to the cemetery. The flags of the different public institutions and numerous private establishments were hung half mast high, and the bells of St. Peter's church, St. Luke's, St. Paul's, St. Nicholas, and St. James's Cemetery church, rung muffled peals during tha day. In the river and docks all the vessels hoisted the ensigns half-mast, and on board many of the Spanish and Austrian ships the crews, throwing aside religious prejudices, sang the " Ave Maria " and the " Portuguese Hymn." At the cemetery the officers of her Majesty's ship Hastings and sea men, together with those of the training-ship Con way, joined the procession. The grave of the deceased is close to the Huskis son Mausoleum, and around it lie the remains of many men of celebrity. The uxion jack which covered the coffin was, we believe, the subject of some dispute between the naval officers and the undertaker. The naval gen- tlemen objected to the union jack being thrown over the coffin, on the ground that the deceased was not a member of the British navy. This interpre tation of the use of the union jack was, however, very shortly decided, and the coffin passed from hearse to the chapel, and thence to the grave, covered with that emblem which is the signal of England's power and glory. We have good reason to believe that a meeting of the directors and shareholders of the Great Eastern Company will be held to-day (Saturday) or on Monday, for the purpose of considering the propriety of paying some substantial tribute to the memory of the deceased. His shares, we wider stand, are to be purchased by the directors Messrs. M'lver, Litticdale, Brassey, Jackson, and nearly all the shipowners of Liverpool, have united in sub scription to a testimonial fund; and the sum up to last evening reached £2,500. THE BALLOT. Now that two out of the three reforms necessary o make the representation of the people in Parlia- went full and efficient have been token in hand by the Government, what prospect is there that the third will get its fair share of attention in the com- ing session? The extension of the franchise and a more rational assignment of seats to constituencies are the chief elements of the bill which Lord John Russell is shortly to introduce ; but in the eyes of a majority of reformers these measures, urgently necessary as is their adoption, are not one whit more so than the ballot,while in the intelligent judg ment of many of the soundest and sincerest mem _ hers of the Liberal party the ballot is not so much their complement as their prime and indispensable condition. Yet in the promised Reform Bill it is quietly ignored. How much longer will the Go vernment of the day be able to deal with the ballot as an open question ? Not long, we should think, judging by the extent to which the chiefs of the Liberal party are compelled on taking office to avail themselves of the assistance of members of Parlia ment who openly profess their conviction of the necessity of providing this protection for the voter. Any one who will take the trouble to examine the composition of the present Administration will find that as many as 13 of the members of the House of Commons who bold office under Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell are supporters of the ballot. In the country, the friends of the ballot, it is noto- rious are the life and soul of the Reform party. Nothing can more forcibly demonstrate the spirit of concession and forbearance which distinguishes Englishmen in their political dealings than the fact that a section of reformers so numerous and power- ful should wait so patiently as we now see them waiting on the steps of their halting and hesitating brethren. But whatever reluctance to move in favour of the ballot may be felt in high places, we have the grati fication of announcing that the old flag of the ballot will be seen flying in the coming session, and that an opportunity will be given for testing the new Parliament on this important subject. We cannot suppose that any earnest friend of the cause was for a moment deceived by the announcement—the capri cious indulgence of a wanton wish—made by its most inveterate opponent a few weeks ago, that it would be deserted by the leaders who have gallantly fought for it year after year in Parliament. In ad vocating the Ballot we have always been anxious that it should never be so presented and urged in Parliament as to endanger the success of other parts of the Reform question, upon whish a greater una nimity of opinion prevails. We are glad, therefore, to know that the Council of the Ballot Society, sharing this sentiment while determined to claim for it a prominent and early place in the business of the House of Commons, have resolved Rot t I make it occupy an obstructive place. This public-spirited determination enhances their elaim to the respect of all reformers, and cannot fail to give strength to the cause when the hon. member for Bristol brings it once more before Parliament. Instead of moving a resolution on the second reading of the Govern ment Reform Bill, or moving ballot clauses in com mittee, Mr. Berkeley will, as early as possilele, ask for leave to bring in a substantive measure, a bill enacting that the votes at elections for members of Parliament shall be taken by the Ballot. The whole question will then be brought fairly and fully be fore Parliament on its own merits, and it will be for the Government and the house to resolve in what manner it shall be dealt with. That it can be ignored year after year, as heretofore, is simply impossible. The settlement of the other elements of the Reform question, however they may bo dealt with, will only make the adoption' of the Ballot more urgent and imperative. The reduc tion of the qualification for tie franchise, which no statesman of any party will tell us can be averted or delayed, will enlarge our constituencies, and, as a thoughtful and experienced correspon dent shows in another column, will augment the necessity of providing new securities against inti midation, and of offering encouragement to vote to large numbers, who without the Ballot will never come to the poll. Liberal members, compelled in the exercise of a sober judgment to admit the ne cessity of conferring the franchise on classes who are shut out, are bound to look ahead and consi der what safeguards should accompany the privi leges they extend. The Goverment which intro duces these changes cannot avoid the responsibility which they will entail, except by taking the means of averting intimidation and bribery into account. If it is not prepared at once to ackiowledge all the arguments by which the Ballot is recom mended, let it at least grant that means of in quiry which scarcely any Parliamentary subject is now deemed too unimportant to warrant, and acquiesce in the appointment of a Select Com ' mittee on the Ballot.—Daily News.

[AuvewrisemENT.]—Thorley's Food for Cattle is now beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer, breeder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted value, will become a necessity to the agr icultural interest. Experience has proved, first, that it effects a considerable saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng. lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unw illingness to rely t pon its efficacy, fancying he possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time usually consumed in d e veloping fat ; it, therefore, be application of Thorley's Compounded F ood. It is believed that e present unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene ral use,.in preference to any other of the usual articles of food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certainly it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides possessing the advantage of greatly invigorating the health and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other food, materially assists their digestive powers—et matter of great consequence, since it is as undoubted fact that the nourishment contained in theft orainary food is lost 2 conse quent upon the impaired or defective action of the digestive organs ; it will also be found to be particularly beneficial in restoring to good working condition horses which have been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or ar naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects art undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest superiority over every other kind of compound or manu factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has been its marked success, that at all our great cattl e shows, Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded. The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a eo‘ , incitement to titi4 gcnilmoan to pursue hi, onward course; and he may confidently rely, in producing. so Li s luy-fil7ur , ed a compound, on a contitgzat - Tan of ends I 1., CEU.RCH RATES ABOLITION. The following is the bill to abolish church rates prepared and brought into the House of Commons by Sir J. Trelawny and Mr. Dillwyn : " Whereas church rates have for some years ceased to be made or collected in many parishes by reason of the opposition thereto, and in many other parishes where church rates have been made the levying thereof has given rise to litigation and ill-feeling : And whereas it is expedient that the power to make church rates should be abolished : Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spi ritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows : " 1. From and after the passing of this act no church rate shall be made or levied in any parish in England or Wales. " 2. Provided always, That in any parish where a sum of money is at the time of the passing of this act due on the security of church rates to be made or levied in such parish under the provisions of any act of Parliament, such rates may still be made and levied pursuant to such provisions for the purpose of paying off the money so due, but not otherwise, unless the same shall have been liquidated.

The correspondence between Mr. Bruce, her Ma jesty's Envoy Extraordinary to China, and the Fo reign Office, relating to the recent hostilities in China, was published yesterday in the shape of a Parlia mentary return. The substance of the most im portant letters have already been made public. Mr. Bruce, however, in a letter dated Shanghai, Sept. 20, encloses an extract of interest from the Pekin Gazette, describing the action at the Peiho. It is an Imperial decree, and must have been issued in June : Sung Ko-lin-sin and his colleagues have pre sented their report of certain details of the (late) action, as ascertained by them on inquiry to be " On the 25th of the moon the vessels of the English barbarians, who would pay no attention to the reasonable commands issued - to them, forced their way into the river, and opened a fire on our troops, which the latter returned. The barbarian vessels, though injured, would not withdraw, and contined the action with their infantry, until the forces of Government had killed several hundreds, and had taken two of them alive. The rest then fled and slunk back to their ships. The barbarians' vessels that entered the river were thirteen in all, and but one escaped across the bar; the rest had suffered such damage t hat they were unserviceable. The barbarian leader Li (?) was also so severely wounded in the thigh that he could not move. " The English barbarians, violent, rebellious, and unreasonable as they are, have on this occasion received such a chastisement as will not fail to make them aware of the danger (lit., difficulty) of offend ing the military dignity of Cnina. The officers and men, who with a common purpose and united strength achieved this great victory, have certainly shown a more than ordinary courage ; and we command Sung Ko-lin-sin to ascertain the names of all who exerted themselves on the occasion, and to recommend their, to our favourable consideration. We, at the same time, authorise him to distribute among them 5,000 taels, which he may take out of the subscription fund. Shih Tungeehun, Comman der-in-Chief of the Chinese army of Chih-li, and the Brigadiers Lung Ju-yu-en, Commandant of Takoo, heading the fight in person, so valiant that they dis regarded their own safety, and were killed in the bom bardment, are indeed to be deplored. Let their names be handed to the proper board, that posthu mous honours may be liberally awarded them, and let shrines be raised to them in Tien-tsin, and at their respective homes. Let the Major Tsitanpu, with Takshia, Subaltern of Musketeers, in the Plain White Banner Corps, the Lieutenant Wang Shi yany, and the Ensign Chang Wanping, who fell at the same time, be awarded each one the posthumous honours to which he is by regulation entitled ; that their loyal spirits may be comforted.

The financial statement showed a total cash balance of £98,716 17s. Payments were ordered on account of the main drainage to the amount of £321 ls. Id. THE SOUTHERN Or TFALL MAIN SEWER. A communication was received from Mr. Rowland Brotherhood, of Chippenham, Wilts, giving up his contract for the southern outfall sewer, in conse quence of difficulties which had arisen with respect to sureties for the due performance of the same. Some routine business having been disposed of, the board adjourned at an early hour. Last evening, at 7 o'clock, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Woolwich was held at the Town hall, William-street, for the adoption ef measures to resist the taxation inflicted upon the parish by the Metropolitan Board of Works. The chair was occupied by Mr. Taylor, and from various addresses delivered it appeared that the Local Board of Health for the parish of Woolwich had carried out a com plete system of sevferage at a great cost to the rate payers, before the passing of the Metropolitan Local Management Act ; but inasmuch as Wool wich was included in that act, the Metropolitan Board has issued a precept upon the Local Board of Health for payment of a proportion of the main drainage expenses- The Local Board declined to make a rate for this purpose, and the Metropolitan Board subsequently made a rate upon Woolwich of 4d. in the pound, with an additional pe ditnny of the rate for the cost of collection. Mr. Ruegg (eor Kentish Independent) contended that the Metropo litan Board had acted illegally, and could not en force payment, which was proved by the fact that the Board sought to obtain powers in their amended act to collect rates in parishes which refused to pay. On the motion of Mr. Bassett, seconded by Mr. Davis, the meeting was adjourned for a week, and it was resolves to request the attendance of Mr. Hudson, the Woolwich representative at the Metro politan Board.

The latest news from British Columbia (states the San Francisco Newsletter of Dec. 20) is of the most cheering character, exhibiting the well-con sidered developments of that now rapidly rising settlement. The amount of gold now shipped to this port in 90 days is 450,000 dols., without , allowing for the dust in private hands amongst the passengers. On board the barque Henrietta, with about 80 • . , passengers from Port Douglas, a theft had been committed—one of the miners hating lost his purse ; I with about 500 dols. worth of gold dust. A search ' was instituted, and all on board were requested to show their treasure. This was complied with, and the result was that about 60,000 dols. in gold dust was laid open to inspection. ...- ..:. The amount of gold dust shipped. to San Fran.... cisco, by the express companies during the last l& ..e months is three and three quarter million dollars. .:1" The progress of Victoria is in fair proportion to the -- cheering news from the mines. The hammer 'jai' heard in all directions from early morn till late at night, on the buildings now going up, both stone and brick. Real estate hus also taken a rise, and sales have taken place at least 20 per cent. above prices asked a few months since. This colony is .. most prosperous. The great boon of a free port has • been kept intact.

CHARLES BUXTON, M.P. On Wednesday evening, Mr, C. Buxton, one of the representatives of the borough of Maidstone, delivered a lecture to the members of the Literary and Mechanics' Institution in that town, on "" The Life of Lord 31aeauly." On the' platform were many of the leading inhabitants of the town, and there were from 1,200 to 1,500 persons present. Mr. BUXTON, who was very warmly greeted, commenced by observing that on Monday fortnight were laid in Westminster Abbey the mortal remains of the man who, of all the men of our day, would have the most powerful and enduring influence upon the mind of the people of England. Other statesmen had had a career of higher splendour— other orators hucl wielded the weapons of debate with a more skilful hand—other administrators had woa more applause in the transaction of national affairs —other writers had shown more originality and subtlety of intellect—other poets had displayed a loftier power of imagination—but was there any writer of any time, whatever his genius, whose works had at once gained such a grasp on the mind, not of England alone, but of America and of Europe, or which were so likely to retain that grasp, as those of the great man 'so lately deceased ? The career of Lord Macaulay was unique in this respect—that while he stood among the foremost of those who had won the ear of the world by the force and beauty of their written words, he also, by his spoken words, had given a series of powerful impulses to the cause of progress and reform. In treating this subject, he (Mr. Buxton) proposed first to dilate upon what Lord Macaulay did, and then upon what he was. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to notice the works of the late noble lord, from which he quoted several extracts to show that, while gifted with the niefs'rfigorons aniregtotioperwere of reasoniag, • - could yet " play with a topic like a kitten with a ball." He (Mr. Buxton) knew that his lordship looked upon style as of the utmost importance in writing, and the blottings out and changes in his manuscript showed that he polished his sentences with extreme care. Speaking of the late lord's " History of England," the hon. gentleman said he thought it would have been a still more wonderful work of art if the author had been willing to vary and set off its brilliancy by occasional simplicity and repose ; but with that one drawback—if draw back it could be called—of an excess of splendour, it was unquestionably one of the noblest monu ments of literary labour with which the world had been enriched. He knew that its accuracy had been impugned; but with the exception of a few trivial errors, he believed the book stood on a rock, and could not be shaken. It was melancholy that the splendid expectation held out in the preface of bringing up the history to within the memory of men now living had been so far from fulfilment, but the fragment that had been published had done a work of transcendant importance, not merely in the influence which it would have, for centuries to come, on the mind of the English people, but even more in training the people of Europe to the idea of making a bold stand for freedom, teaching them the value of constitutional Government, and giving the noble example of true courage and patriotism. He walked home from Lord Macau lay's funeral with the son of one of the most illus trious Prussians of the present day, who said " Cer tainly you have had a grand ceremonial at the burial of Lord Macaulay, but your appreciation of his writ ings is not to be named in the same breath with the appreciation of them in Germany. There every one is penetrated with reverence for them, as showing the way to tread the path to freedom." Not only, however, was Lord Macaulay, beyond all dispute, the king of essayists, and one of the princes among historians, but he also took no low place among the poets of England. No one would claim for him a place beside our greatest masters. His poems were not like theirs, new creations, nor were they ar rayed in language of divine beauty ; but vet who could deny the name of poetry to lyric effusions of such extraordinary force and fire as proceeded from the pen of the noble lord, varied with descriptions at once so true and beautiful. As a politician, his name would not go down to posterity with the lustre attained by some other great men, as he had not given that close attention to the details of public business necessary to win the highest place in such an arena as Parliament. He (M r. Buxton) remem bered that, after his election for Newport, his lord ship, on meeting him one day, asked him how he liked the House of Commons. He replied that he was extremely pleased with it. The noble lord said, "Nell, I can'tunderstand that ; how I used to hate it ;" and went on to dilate upon the nuisance of sit ting there night after night, listening to dull speeches. But though Lord Macaulay would not have left a mighty nave as one of a great race of statesmen, he had nevertheless attained a position of considerable height among them; and, though his talents as an orator were not equal to those he pos sessed as an author, some of his speeches would al ways be counted among the greatest and most suc cessful that had ever been uttered in England. Hav ing then referred to the construction by Lord Ma ' caulay of the code of laws for India, which he (Mr. Buxton) believed would some day be found of essen tial value to the well-being of that country, the hon. gentleman noticed a variety of points in the life of the late noble lord, and remarked that though there might at times be a seeming isolation in his manner towards those who had no tie with him, to those who had the felicity of his acquaintance he was not Macaulay the historian, or Macaulay the politician, but Macaulay the talker—the last of that wonder ful galaxy of conversers who had made Holland House so famous in days gone by : He displayed the most hearty, untiring, and animating tender ness to his relatives, and stood forth to the world as a man as stout-hearted, as truthful, and who loved old England as dearly as any of the heroes he delighted to portray. The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amid great applause, and a cordial vote of thanks was accorded to him for his interesting lecture. ATTBAIPT TO MURDER IN IRELAND, The state of two Irish counties (King's and West• meath) has lately become a source of anxiety from the frequent commission of outrages of the very worst kind in the districts indicated. Scarcely a week passes of late without an account of some of those sanguinary attempts upon life which it was hoped we had heard the last of when Tippe rary could be compared to Down in social tran quillity, and when the titmice of crime.,formed an agreeable feature in all judicial charges. The following partienlors of a murderous assault upon an under-agent of Sir C. H. Coote, which it is feared will have a fatal result, and given in the Evening Mail :—" On Monday night, about 10 o'clock, Mr. George Dunne, an extensive landholder and under-agent on the King's County estates of Sir C. 11. Coote, left the house of a friend in Tul lamore, with whom he had been spending the even ing, and walked towards his own residence, situated in another part of the town, accompanied by a man named Ryan. When they arrived near Mr. Dunne's house Ryan separated from his companion, and proceeded on his way to his residence in the country. He had previously—as has been since ascertained—observed a man following him and Mr. Dunne, but not apprehending any danger he took no notice of him. Ryan had not proceeded further than the length of one street when he heard a shot. This did not alarm him, as he imagined that somebody was firing at rats.' It turned out, however, that the shot had been fired at Mr. Dunne just as he had reached his own door, wounding him dreadfully in the head, face, and cheek. One eye was completely torn from its socket, and the adjoining cheek riddled with slugs. Another slug is lodged in one of the collar bones, and several have penetrated the rib of the unfortunate victim of Riband vengeance. It is hardly necessary to add that Mr. Dunne lies without hope of recovery. But we have now to record a damning fact, which would be incredible in any country in the world save our own. The murder—ter so, we fear, we may call it—took place at 10 o'clock on Monday night, in a country town containing 6,000 inhabi tants, defended (?) by a stipendiary mag i s trate, two other magistrates, a county inspector , a sub inspector, a head constable, with a full co m p lement of constables and sub-constables; an d y et not a whisper of the outrage reached the a uthorities, until nine o'clock the following morning! The offence for which Mr. Dunne has been executed was, of course, agrarian." exertingyesterda yesterda y says and succeeded in capturi n g a man named James pol kS ic a e ul h zd a e d rs b 's een Ne a r c c t s ive o ly f says :—" The n o o f m T e Champion Hand, better kn own u n lla o m f ore.
