"The editor has conferred a great boon by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, wh, profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. This volume is well cal- culated to put an end to the emi.yrieal system of treating Sperma torrhcea, and to place the treatment upon a more rational and phy siological basis. It is, therefore, likely to do much good."—Medical Circular. London, IL Balllere, 219, Regent-street. ~_~ - 7 .-------_- .. - . 4 ,-: c ...-- 47 '.'vk ....„ .../ ..1 Z., .1: .. c .

Captain-Superin tendent John C. Fitzgeraid, second officer in com mand of the port, presided. The prisoner, i❑ his defence, pleaded a nervous debility of system brought on by seven consecutive years of service on the Coast,, and that he was suddenly awoke from sleep and ordered to the quarter deck. He produced a number of testimonials of high character from officers under whom he had served. The Court decided that the charge was fully proved, and ordered "the prisoner to be dismissed from her Ma jesty's service. CUNNINGHAM'S PATENT SELF REEFING - TOPSAILS, The first evening meet i ng of the season in con nection with the United Service Institution was held , ortMonday evening in the Lecture-hall of the Institution, when a lecture was delivered by Mr. H. D. P. -Cunningham, R.N., on the history of seat; .and sail-power, and on the self-reefing sys tem.of topsails, patented by. Mr. Cunningham. Mr. CUNNINGTIAM having traced the history . of sails, or in other words the propulsion of vessels at sea by means of sails, from a very early period, referring to passages in the S cr i p t ures —th e B oo k o f Kings, and in th e Prophesi es of Ezekiel and Isaiah, where mention was made of vessels being propelled by such means, as well as'-to the account of St. Paul's shipwreck, where it was recorded " they raised their anchor and hoisted their mainsail to the wind,'-' he alluded to the more modern Systein of propelling sailing vessels by means of these, and the utility of that system as regarded the preset Va tion of life as compared with the system he had him self introduced. Under the old system of reefing the men had to gO aloft on the topsail yard, even in the darkest night, in a heavy sea, and when they were blinded with sleet and benumbed with cold,. and the consequence was,that before,a reef could be taken in, many a good seaman was,- through the carrying away en ear-ring, a reef-tackle, or a weather brace, thrown from the topsail, yard into the sea, or smashed upon the deck; - The - sacrifice of life in this respect was frightful to contemplate, and he saw from the New York, Times, that the vessels which had arrived in that port from foreign voy ages, in the mouth of November last had lost no less than 1,030 men from that cause alone. His system afforded a remedy for that.- By the adop tion of it topsails, top-gallant sails, and courses could be reefed from the deck, without sending any one aloft, with extraordinary speed and few men. The watch on deck could always reef the three top sails of a 1,000-ton ship in a few minutes ; and the reefs could also be shaken out from the deck with the same facility. In.its operation the system was simple. The. sail was reefed from the deck by being rolled up on the yard, which was so fitted as to turn round freely on the sling. hoops and yard-arm irons, provision being made for allowing the sail to clear the centre fittings. The system was particularly adapted to auxiliary screw steam ers on ocean voy ages, who only used the screws in ca l ms or head twh t e n d m s , men n s also getting to men-of-war, n d - o o f f - wtahre laborious sy s t em of, as it w ou ld perm i t of training they had now to undergo as regarded the management of the rigging of ships, and would afford time for putting them under a thorough sys tem of artillery practice, which, now that their lint,- of-battle ships were fitted, up with the screw, and might be said to be floating batteries, was of great consequence. In the - case of a sudden outbreak, could sailors not be found to man the ships, solr diers under proper officers could work a ship under his system, and that would be a great advantage, .4k NIC OF AUSTRALASIA.

CIRCUIT.---Exnenn, MARCH 16. -(Before Mr. Justice - Wines.) CHARGE OF MURDER.—SENTENCE OF DEATH. John Barwick, a labourer, aged 20, was indicted for the wilful murder of Maria Blackmore, at Lin ton, on the 16th of DeceMber last. Mr. Karslake and Mr. Buller were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Coleridge defended the prisoner. • - The prisoner is a young man of rather stolid ap pearance, and betrayed considerab'e emotion dining the trial. It appeared, from the opening of the learned counsel and the evidence of several wit nesses, that the prisoner was a labourer, residin g in the picturesque village of Linto n , i n th e north of Devon, and the deceased, with whom he had been keeping company, was a servant of the Valley of Rocks Hotel, in the same place. On the 16th of December the. prisoner had been drinking all day, and had been fighting with a man named Lethaby. In the evening he went to his parents' house, sat by the fire, and fell fast asleep. About eight o'clock the same evening the deceased sent a girl, named Hannah Mogridge, to the prisoner, to tell him she wanted to speak with him. The prisoner was aroused, and went out into the street, where he was joined by the deceased. They were seen walk ing and talking together, during the night, by several persons, and it was observed that the pri soner had his arm round the poor girl's neck. Just before ten o'clock a scream was heard, and shortly afterwards the deceased rushed into the cottage of Mrs. Bromham, said she was bleeding, and fell down on the floor. Before medical assistance could be procured the poor girl expired. On examination it was found that her throat had been cut or rather "stabbed," and the carotid artery was completely severed. The prisoner was apprehended the same night at his own house, and he was then engaged in reading the Bible. On searching him a razor and two knives were found in his pocket, and one of the knives was covered with blood. When in custody the prisoner said to Woodrow, the policeman, "She said she would give up my company that night, and that made me do it." It was not pretended by the prosecution that the razor and knives had been deliberately put by the prisoner into his pocket, inasmuch as he had been in the habit of carrying them about with him every day. Mr. Coleridge made an eloquent speech for the defence, in which he contended that the act was perpetrated under a fit of jealousy, and was in no way premeditated.

It has long been obvious to the world that our metropolis, as com pared with every other leading capital in Europe, is wholly destitute of first-class hotel accommodation; while the enormous annual in srease of our systemof railways, which has already extended its network to the remotest portions of the kingdom, is daily making this want more evident in proportion as the facilities for travelling augment the number of visitors to this centre of government, capital, and commerce. This Company proposes.te erect a first-class hotel on a square plot of freehold ground, having a frontage of 800 feet, abutting on the Strand, Eurleigh-street, Exeter-street, and Wellington-street, including the site of the Lyceum Theatre. The ground storey, in the Strand and Wellington-street will be devoted to first-class shops, the revenue from which alone is estimated to amount to 4,2501. per annum. The hotel- will be a very spacious and beautiful structure—in itself an attraction - and will contain 230 sleeping rooms, exclusive of private sitting rooms and suites of apartments for families. There will also be a large Salle a Manger, in which a Table d'Hote will be daily served; a gentlemen's coffee room and a ladies' coffee and' reading room; billiard, smoking, and chess roods; in short, this hotel will unite all the comforts and conveniences of Internal arrange ment, as at the best clubs in London, and in the leading hotels on the continent and In America. The proposed situation of this hotel is considered to be an impor tant element to its commercial success, located as it will be upon one of the two main arteries of London—the Strand ; midway be tween the Parliamentary and fashionable portion—the West End and the commercial and business portion—the City: in close proxi mity to the numerous Goverment departments in Somerset-house, the various I -us ofCourt, Exeter-hall, the Operas, and the Theatres; within a stilling cab fare of every railway station but two (the Great Western and the Eastern. Counties), it will command a posi tion for the temporary residence in London of private, professional, and commercial gentlemen and families, unequalled as regards these, qualifications by any other in London. The termini of some of the great railways have been supplied' by their respective companies with hotels of a certain magnitude, and modern accommodatioe. The South-Eastern, North Rent, London and Brighton, and South-Western Railways, however, have no con tiguous hotels for the very large number of passengers who are daily conveyed by them to London. The proposed International Hotel, from its immediate contiguity to Waterloo-bridge, over which the whole traffic, may be said to pass, will aff o rd the so - mac h re qu'red accommodation for vie tors arriving by these lines. • Messrs. Lucas Brothers, the eminent builders of Belvedere-road, London, have carefullv s examined the cost of building the proposed hotel, and are willing to construct it in the best possible manner within the estimated sum of £lOO,OOO. It is expected that the building will be completed in a year from its commencement. ' ' A statement of the cost of the land, buildings, &c., together with an estimate of the expected returns to the company from all sources, have been prepared with the Utnrst care, and with a liberal allowance for contingencies. From these it will be seen' Illonts,tll)4Pilnerncain. earnings of liggit h orcr a rsq ' l l: eltirn *l o - f l 21; l per cent..and posaib y klituch higher rate. These statements, together with a prospectus and an elevation of the hotel, may be obtained at the office. The Great Western 'Tote), at Paddington (the only example from which we can fairly draw an inference), is always full, and the pro moters see ne reason why the International Hotel, with the superior advantages of its central position, combined with the comfort and elegance of its accommodation and its completeness in every - respect, should not also be always filled, and thus secure to the shareholders of the company the higher rate of dividend shown in the statement of accounts which is annexed to the prospectus. The usual method of nominating a board of directors and °their officers of a company before the share list has been filled is consi dei ed by the promoters to be objectionable in many respects and especially so for this undertaking which contemplates the purchase of a valuable plot of freehold land in - the centre of London, for the payment of which it is requisite that cash should be provided. It is proposed, therefore, on the completion of the subscription, to call a General Meeting for the formation of the company and the election of directors and officers; and thus the shareholders will have the power from the very outset of placing the affairs of their company under managers of their own selection. In the meantime, the above-named gentlemen have consented to act as trustees, and to hold the money paid as deposits Into the bask in trust for the respective subscribers until the company Shall have been formed under the Joint-Sto. k Companies' Act, with limited liability, and the direct , rs nominated, when the aMount will be paid by them to the credit of the company with such bankers as the directors shall specify. And on the further trust, that if the amount of the share capital (180.0001.) shall not be bona fide subscribed within six months from this date, the deposit shall be forthwith returned in exchange for the bankers' receipts, free from expenses or charges of any-sort, but without interest. The General Meeting by which the directors are to be nominated will be convened by advertisement and circular letter sent by post to the several subscribers according to the addresses given by them respectively, and signed by the secretary of the promotes ; and will not be held until at least seven days after the publication of such advertisement and the issue' of Such circular letter. The meeting will choose its own chairman before proceeding to business, and the election of directors w-11 be made by the votes of a majority of those present, each subscriber being entitled to one vote for each 1001. subscribed for by Inds, up to the limit of ten votes. and the qu.lification of eligibility shall be the having subscribed for at least 50 shares in the undertaking. It is to be taken as one of the conditions of the allotment of shares that the election of directors so made Is to be binding 'upon all the subscribers, and that avail - lute to be signed by the chairman, setting forth the advertisement and circular and the proceedings of the gene ral meeting, is to be taken as conclusive evidence of their regularity and sufficiency, and as full authority to the trustees (subject to the condition of the whole amount having been subscribed as before mentioned) to pay over the deposits to the credit of the company with the bankers named by the directors so chosen. The bankers' account showing the receipt of deposits of 31. on each of 9,000 shares is to be received as conclusive evidence of a bona tide subscription of the full share capital, and Is the condition in that re spect having been satisfied. If any of the directors chosen at the first meeting decline to act, the payment by the trustees may be made to the credit of the re maiiilng number. Persons desirous to become subscribers on the above terms must pay a deposit of 31. per share, on or before the 15th April, into the banks of Messrs Hankey and Co., Fenchurch-street, or Messrs. Sir Samuel Scott and Co.. Cavendish-square, to the credit of the above named trustees, In exchange for which they will receive the bankers' rec ipt, and on forwarding to this office a notice of the number of hares on which they have paid the deposit, their letters will be re gistered, with reference to the future allotment.

Being in a place of publi9 resort for foreigners, he pulled out a loaded 6-bar lied revolver, a most formidable weapon, and olio which in this country was not usual for persods to have iu their pockets. It would not be au offrince to have such a weapon ; but when it was used tb terrify and alarm, and presented at a per son, that was a very different thing, and if 1 e had not intended to fire the pistol, he had committed an assault. The Portuguese officer was satisfied Mr. - Karslake and Mr. Carter prosecuted ; and Mr. Cole defended Baghurst and Brown. The case excited considerable interest in the West of England from the atrocious character of the outrage which was committed on Mr. Braddon, who is a retired judge of the Supreme Court of Calcutta. The prisoners were arraigned on the charge at the Devon winter assizes, but as Mr. Braddon was then expected to die, in consequence of the injuries inflicted on him, the learned judge declined to try the case, intimating that if Mr. Braddon died the case would clearly be one of wil ful murder. - As, however, Mr. Braddon has par tially recovered, the prisoners were now put upon their trial. The facts, as adduced in evidence, were as fol low :—The prisoner Baghurst was formerly in the employ of the prosecutor as butler for two years, but was dismissed from his situation in consequence of some impropriety of conduct with one of the fe male servants. Soon afterwards Baghurst applied to Mr. Braddon for a character, which the latter re fused, and the prisoner then made use of bitter and vindictive expressions to some persons who reside in a village near the residence of Mr. Braddon. Baghurst then left the neighbourhood, and he was not heard of for many months. On the 22d Octo ber last the three prisoners were passengers by the steamer Undine, from Portsmouth- to Ply mouth, Coleman having been put on board at the former place by the autnorities of Parkhurst prison, where, he bad been confined for four years for pick iug pockets at Plymouth. During the voyage the prisoners were observed in close conversation. Early in the morning of the 23d of October they reached Plymouth, and later in the day they were traced in company from Plymouth to the village adjoining Mr. Braddon's residence, and were seen drinking together at a public-house on the road. Between 1 and 2 on the morning of the 24th of October Blacklands Hous a was entered, and the burglars made direct for Mr.- Braddon's bed-room. About two in the morning the butler was awoke by the loud ringing of the bell in his master'i bed room ; and on going thither he found the old gen tleteau speechless, with a quantity of blo xl on his face and on the bed clothes. Oa examination it was discovered that Mr. Braddon had received several severe blows on his head, which had evi dently been inflicted with a blunt instrument, and the left eye was knocked out of its socket and was with great difficulty forced back into its orbit by the medical man (Mr. Pods), but of the sight of that eye Mr. Braddon was totally deprived. It was found that the burglars had stolen a gold pen cil-case and a ring from the bed-room, and a great coat from the hall. TI ere was also a poker found behind the front door, very much bent. On the lawn and garden near the house there were distinct footmarks of three men, which corresponded with the prisoners' shoes, and a small bundle was picked up belonging to the prisoner Coleman, which con tained a Bible and Prayer-book—these having been given to him a few clays before he left Parkhurst prison. On the day following the burglary the three prisoners went to a shop at Stonehouse, and purchased a pair of shoes in exchange for a Jersey smock. They then went to the Lord High Admi ral public-house, where they had some beer to drink, and Coleman left. The other prisoners slept at the Lord High Admiral during the night, and left on the following day, when they were ap prehended by the Plymouth police. It was proved that Baghurst pledged the gold pencil-case taken from Mr. Braddon's bedrciom to Mr. Rosenberg, a pawnbroker, for eight shillings ; and the pri soner Coleman made three statements to different persons, in which he confessed that he and the other two prisoners had committed the burglary. In two of the statements he said he hit Mr. Braddon with the poker. In the last statement, however, which he made when in custody, he said he did not go into the house, but that Baghurst and Brown entered, and that the former took with him a stiek which he had picked up in the road. Mr. Cole, for the defence, contended that the case against the prisoners was one of suspicion me rely. His Lordship having summed up, The jury found the prisoners guilty of burglary only, with ti strong) ing tl le case having gone as far as it had, and now [y recommended him to mercy, but consider s circumstances the Court felt it to be its day -t for six! ) pass upon him a sentence of imprisonmen weeks. HBA TH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK, rots the Report of the Registrar General.) The 'effect of the great and prolonged coldness of the atmosphere is now seen very perceptibly in the returns of mortality. During the last five weeks the mewl daily temperature has been almost inva riably below the average, on the first three days of Marchas much as 10 deg. below it ; and since the middle' of February the weekly deaths in London, which bad previously declined to 1,195, have in creased continuously, though at first sllwly, until the number returned in the week that ended last Saturday was 1,487. In the tenth Week of each of the 10 S , ears 1848.57, which corresponds with last week, the deaths ranged from 875 to 1,436, and the average was 1,187 ; but as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population, they can only be compared with the average when the latter is raised in proportion to the increase, a correction which will make it 1,305. The result it that 182 person 4 died last week more than beanweon higher haveuld thaudied if the rate of mortality had not the average rate at this season. It dei3erves to be noticed tbatthe deaths increased from 1,053 in the previous'week t 011,487 last week, and that this increase is derived from the mortality contribUted by each class of disease except "local diseased," which include bronchial complaints. In the last two weeks the deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory organs decreased from 399 to 366. But hooping-cough, which stands in the zyrnotici class, rose from 59 to 69. The registrar of St. Paul's (St. George's-in -the-East) states that it is very prevalent in his sub-district. Measles was fatal in 59 cases, smallpox in 7, scarlatina in 41. Nearly half of the deaths from measles occurred in the East districts. At 20, Danvers-street, Chel sea, a family has lost four children from malignant scarlatina within seven days, and two others are ill from the same complaint. "Diphtheria" is re corded as fatal in 13 cases, either as a primary or secondary disease. Bronchitis carried off 207 per eons last week ; pneumonia 112; the corrected ave rage of the former is 143, that of the latter 98. A drayman died after two hours' illness from eating mussels • 3 person s f rom i ntemperance, besides 2 from delirium tremens. A widow, aged 60 years, died in Union•buildings, Woolwich, from destitu tion. The two oldest persons recorded in the week were widows, aged respectively 92 and 96 years. The number of births registered last week wasthe unusually large —namely, 2,007 —and deaths, thou g h th ese were numero us, by girls. The children born 1,043 w e re boys, 964 were exceededs2o.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth• that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr. Howard's Improvement may be within the reach of the most econo nical, he has fixed the charges at the loivest scale possible.

L ADVERTISEMENTj—Messrs. Da Barry's Revalenta Amble & Food has ' at length solved thepro learned and pocrates to Abernethy. The authentic testimony o f fif ty thousand known witnesses has proclaimed the j oy f u l truth that, in stages of dire disease, where medicine had totally failed, the use of this preparation has resto re d v i gour, cheer. fulness, case of mind and body, and raised sufferers from a condition in which death was longed for as a release from lingering woe, to one in which life is not only prolonged, but cherished, because enjoyed. Take one instance, described by the Rev. J. W. Flavell, Rector of Ridlington, which is a specimen of thousands upon thousands of similar testi-, monies. The reverend gentleman says :—" Mary Emerson (a servant of Mr. Flavell%), ag e d thi rty, has for the last eight years, been in delicate health. Her complaint was dyspepsia in au aggravated form, and she suffered every two or three days with v i olent attacks of spasms is the stomach and chest, bein g constantly sick after partaking of food, how ever small the quant i ty, or carefully chosen the quality. She had a const an t pain in the side, and became so much debili tated that it was w i th great difficulty she could walk up stairs. She received occasional relief from medical treatment, but never for long together, and at the commencement of this year her state was most deplorable." After using Messrs. :—" It is not in my power to Da Barry's preparation for some time, as an article of food, she recovered her health, cheerfulness, and activity. The which, indeed, is a matter rev. gentleman goes on te say express her feelings at the change, certificates of the salutary efficacy of be understood that it is neither the of astonishment as well as thankfulness to all here." Such tiuctly to d a ie d t ru (f g o , r nitoriswdhisat is commonly called a medicine, but an agreeable and palat able article of food) are pouring in daily, and eau leave no doubt in the minds of intelligent persons, that it stands alone and u uapproached—far and away--at the head of every thing which science has yet discovered for the preservation of health, and the eradication of pain and dis4ow . • Supported by testimonials from the following celebrated Pre e ; fessors of Chemistry: Dr. A.

The Diadem, 32, Captain Cracroft, returned to Spithead from her cruise yesterday afternoon. She saluted her Majesty on passing Osborne. Her trial has proved her admirable capabilities. She left Spithead on the 18th of February under steam •and canvass, the fires were put out between 4 and 5 the same afternoon, but before that had been done she had realised a speed of 14.8 knots. The Diadem encountered a succession of tolerably hard gales between Spithead and L is b on ; one immedi diately preceding the lunar eclipse on the 27th of February from the north-west reduced her to close reefed topsails and reefed f oresa il , staysail, and maintrysail, which, cuisidering how undermasced the Diadem is, would be equiv a l en t t o ot h er s hip s with their fore and mizentopsail s furled, She is a splendid seaboat, and extremely fast ; she 'fre quently went 13 knots, and even 14 in the squalls, when free, while on a bowline she went 12 knots ! The Diadem has had several trials under steam and sail, as also under steam a l one, and the eng i nes have worked beautifully. Griffith's propeller was tested between Spithead and Lisbon, and the com mon propeller on the retu rn passage. 14,2 knots have been got out of her wi t h the former un d er steam and canvass, the w i nd well abaft the beam, full power ; under steam alone, going head to wind, full power, 11.6 k nots was the result ; at half speed an d half consumption of fuel, under similar ci rcumstances, she went 9.4, and when tried under her fore and aft sails, wind four points on the bow, at half speed and fuel, she went 9.4 With the old, or common screw, at half spee d , under fore and aft sails, for ce of wind 6, the pa t en t log showed IL'Anots. On th e 14th instant, un d er one-third consumption o f steam and sail, at 1.30 p.m. , on the 10th grade of making but 40 revolu tions, she went 13.2. U n d er canvass alone she was only going 8, thus clea r ly s h owing the fallacy of imagining that when th e speed of the ship overran expansion and close throttl e , the engines the latter were of no use. At 8 p.m. on the same day, steering hard, helm relieved every hour, on the 9th grade of expansion, throttle a little more open, making 43 revolutions, under double-reefed topsails, courses, topgallant sails, foretopmast staysail and trysails, she went 14i knots, consuming at the rate 35 tons of coal per day, and to get the same revolutions without can vass would have caused a consumpti on of 75 tons at least. At 4a. tn. on the 15th she went 14.8 with out topgallant sails, under double-reefed topsails and jib, m tiring 42 revolutions on the 9th grade, wind strong from the N.N. W.' and N.W. by N. Till entering the Channel she averaged 13 knots for the last 24 hours, having run a distance of 308 miles in that time. She carries her armament "beautifully," and can work her guns w e ll i n any on the se con d b weather, as was tested during the c ru i se.
