Just published, price ls., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps, SELF -PRESERVATION.--A Medical Treatise on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage front youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &e. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sfing'of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply sure.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal - diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

CHEAPNESS. THE'ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. A short time "since, and for a brief period, all the the presence of the general rejoicThg, men of cience, if not agreed about-the cable, wore at least iLi c l e is s e s d fa .w ite or rm ld ii il-a t s ion rin of g t i h ny s g w r i e t a h t2 tii nt e e n rp o r ls e, of a t n h d e , silent. Nov, however, that the excitement and the !able have both died out,. everything seems to have • apsed back into the same region of theory and spe !illation from which the plan only emerged a short ,ime to give a colour of plausibility to - the opinions , f all. We know not whether to account it as fa -ourable to the cable or otherwise, but the fact re mains that at the present moment most electricians of note agree to differ both as to the nature and extent of the injury to the wire and the chances of its ever being again restored to working order. One thing, however, seems to admit of no doubt, and that is, that, contrary to all expectation, it shows no signs of becoming worse. In the presence of this encouraging fact there are many eminent in Science who believe, first, that the injuries to its nsulation exist much nearer the Irish shore than as at first supposed ; and, secondly, that by sing different instruments* the whole line may be, o a certain extent, used for the transmission of essages, if not from this :country to America, at fleast from America to England. The means used or. testing cables to. ascertain the spot at which an injury •has occurred are always so far unsatisfactory that, under the best circumstances, the result only affords a negative proof. Thus,' when it is stated that the defect is supposed to exist at about 300' miles from the Irish coast, it means nothing more than that the damage does net extend beyond that distance, though it by no means proves that the in jury stated, or even s not m ilengthmiles from we shore. vc The test, in fact, means that after escaping the in jured nearwithinhalfthe portion of the cable only sufficient electricity is left to pass along the conductor for about 300 miles, and that at that distance the resistance to the current is equal to a total rupture of the wire, Or " dead earth," as it is technically called. All practical electricians, however, admit that the in juries may and very likely do exist within a dis tance of 50 miles from land, and that these consist not only of one but many slight losses of insula tion, with very likely partial separation of the con ductor at parts where the two-mile lengths were originally joined. That the damage cannot exist as far out as 300 miles is almost evidenced by the fact of the receipt of the American messages long after none could be sent from this side of the At lantic. It may appear strange to some of our readers that the wire which conveys the signals to this country is not sufficiently intact to allow of the transmission of answers through the same medium. A moment's reflection, however, will show that the injuries to the cable, being near the land, allow so much of the electric current to escape that what remains is not sufficient to over come the resistance of the wire for more than a short portion of its entire length. With currents from the New World, on the contrary, the electric wave, as it is called, of a signal conies along the wire intact till near our shores. Here, though much of it escapes, sufficient is left, nevertheless, to mark some signals at Valentia—weakly and vari ably, it is true, but still occasionally enough to form letters, though, from causes which we shall pre sently endeavour to show, it is impossible now to render them into intelligible words. Up to within the last few days the shore end at Valentia has been the ordinary deep-sea portion of the cable, wide, as our readers are aware, of the very lightest form consistent with the strength necessary for its being safely submerged. That such a wire, within the wash of the Atlantic waves, and lying in some parts over a very rocky bottom, must have sustained injury seems at first sight in evitable. This portion is now being replaced by the proper shore-ends, which are of strength and - i (From the DeiLkshire Courier.) - -when Peel said that he would make England-the chitpest country in Europe to live in, he no doubt ignorantly idorantly thought that a low monied price for the miessaries and comforts of life was a thing highly defirable for the community, an d espec i a ll y f or t h e iniustrious classes.

It is no satisfaction, then, to the eduCated class in France to be told that the Emperor is saving them the trouble of self-gOvernmen“ still less is it any relief to them to be told ;that -the -Empe ror's government is foluided on 'universal infrrage. " I do not -pretend," Says M. de Montalembert, "- to convert those progressive minds who con sider that Parliamentary government has been wisely displaced by'universal suffrage." Vniiersal ' suffrage is indeed only a mockery of liberty given to those who cannot use it, and who have it given to them. because they cannot use it, and because you know they cannot use it; while you take capi tal care that those who could use liberty if they had it shall not have it. We cannot be surprised at the disgust which M. de Montalembert, as the champion of real liberty in France, shows for such alPretended basis of government He feels justly that it is the liberty , of the educated class which it the point. and that if they are gagged, and ever movement of their minds suppressed, it is simple nonsense to appeal to the free suffrages of an ign rant peasantry which the priest and the Prefect together are commissioned to collect. It is the passion for liberty, then, that inspiies M. de Montalembert,•=that irrepressible appetite for action which must always.. exist where the power of action exists. He protests against the suppression Of human nature, against mental anni hilation. " Don't kill this class with torpor," he says, " let it act, let it do something ; don't case it with simple stagnation, and make its intelligence a misery to it. It is all very well for persons who can do nothing to do nothing ; it is pleasant enough for them, but it is wretchedness to us." We con gratulate him on his cause, it is the vo i ce o f na t ure speaking, and we congratulate him on the boldness with which he has undertaken it, against the pre judices of all his religious friends. He adds one more to -the list of distinguished men who hale re jected the yoke of a school and party, and given honest expression to their sense of truth. A man from early education, from sentiment, front good hearty feeling, sticks to his school for a long time then there comes a turning point when he cannot g o along with them ; his nature rebels —he wants a larger ground; he sees the narrowness and petti nesses which belong to a clique, and which enter into the very heart of its creed ; he can stand it no longer, and he sets up for himself. Then he hears the words " renegade," " apostate," " rebel," " in fidel ;" no matter ; if he is a true son of nature he will care very, little for such hootings ; he knows that it is simply impossible for a man to be true to himself without incurring black looks and bad names, and he takes it as the natural accompaniment of his career and the sign of its y ty ab fo le r a l n if d e? lea v d e in ry g minds genuineness.have • stuck How to many her paal rl few, we suspect, if we examine the list. One after another, they go off; a time comes when they begin to think for themselves they cannot stand the t r e yo , yoke • one after another, they desert—apostates that they are—to truth. which he p ro posed to himself to do, he would have benefitted the consuming class, the persons of fixed income, the capitalist, the money dealer, at the ex pense- of the working men of England—the pro ducing class. Peel began at the wrong end. Instead of work ing for cheap commodities, he should have gone for cheap taxes. There was a. way to do this, at the end. of the war, without any injudicious reduc tion of bur national defences, or any penurious re trenchments. His business was to reduce the debt as rapidly as possible. This might have been done with the financial system under which it had been rapidly created. Then with a reduced debt we should have had lower taxes ; with lower taxes lower prices, which would still have been, under the reduced scale of taxation, remunerative to the producer and the labourer. Peel's monetary system attempted, by endea vouring to make the bank note a mere ticket for so much gold, to chain down the price of commo dities to this gold price. The producing classes were expected to sell their commodities for the quantity of gold which they could command in the world's market. The English workman had there fore to sell the commodity as cheap as his foreign competitor. The extra amount of taxation which he paid had to be obtained by harder work and longer days of labour. There were extraordinary exceptions to this rule of forced eheapness, under Peel's system. Bread, for example, was not allowed to fall to the price of the world's market. Wheat was protected, as it was called. The working man was expected to sell his labour as cheap as the lightly-taxed foreigner, and to buy his bread as dear as was necessary to remunerate the highly taxed bread producer. It is wonderful how the working classes struggled through the long period of distress after the war. Competent judges have stated that the English people never endured so much since the existence of the nation. But one half of the misery, suffering, starvation, and crime caused by this unwise system of legislation will never be revealed to mortal ken. M. DE MONTALRMBERT. be overcome. So far, however, are we from con- (From the Times.) If the walls of Jericho do not fall down before M. Ile Montalembert's trumpet, it is from no want of strenth in the instrument, for a prouder blast of oratory was never blown. It is indeed a speech in writing ; we forget the pen ; it is M. de Montalem bert speaking to us, speaking to Europe. But what is the secret of his strength ; what is the source of his inspiration ? One word will express it. We in this country are so fortunate in the enjoyment of liberty that we almost forget some times that there is such a thing as a passion for liberty ; or, if we think of it at all, we confound it with the ravings and nonsense of Chartists, or To preserve his Money Law, Peel sacrificed his party, and the shred of political principle which yet clung about him, and inaugurated, as he thought, the era of cheap bread. But even here his miserable money law broke down. It was no more able to secure permanent cheapness than permanent prosperity. An influx of bullion necessitated, under his bills, a large issue of paper money, prices were inflated, and for three years we had wheat selling, under the cheap bread law, at between 80s. and 100 s. a quarter. But we have had, also, times of depressing, ruin ous cheapness, times when—as -at present—the farmer has been obliged to sell his wheat for less than it cost him to produce it. It is impossible to trace all the ill-effects of forced, unfair, unremunerative cheapness. Take the Slave. You" stand over him with the whip, but after all it is more than questionable whether you can wring cheap labour out of him. Take the English ill-paid labourer, Ile knows that he is ill-paid. You cannot make him work like a man for food, raiment, and lodging inferior to many a slave. Take the little shopkeeper. You cannot make him sell his goods below an honest, living profit. We live in an age of adulteration. Bradford only furnishes an illustration of the system. And so with the higher class of trading. The periods of forced cheapness at one time, and wild licentious speculation at another—both the creatures of our atrocious monetary legislation—destroy all the steady, prudent, honourable principles of trade. It is a perfectly well-known fact that during the war—for the 15 first years of this century—though rapid steps of progress were taken by the nation, the commercial classes were distinguished by an honourable and manly spirit of integrity very greatly superior to that of the present. The system of change, fluctuation, and uncertainty; of a glut of money to-day, and a dearth of it to morrow ; of ruinous depression of prices at one time, and extravagant inflation of prices at another, has not only produced misery and suffering, which. cannot be estimated, but has exercised a most demoralising and degrading influence on all classes of the community. • Italian, demagoguesWe appreciate thoroughly liberty as an advantage, but when we hear of it as a passion it sounds a revolutionary thing to us. A person could not possibly pick out a subject which would sound colder to Eng lish ears as a matter of rhetorical declamation than this very subject of liberty. Three or four magnificent sentences in praise of libeity would bo enough any day to empty half the House of Com mons and send hon. members to their.-mutton chops. We pass over sonnets to liberty, describing her as a mountain maid drinking from sparkling rills. The truth is, we have got liberty, and therefore our appetite is satisfied. If we want to see what the passion of liberty is we must take somebody who has not got it, but feels the want of it. Such a man is M. de Montalembert. He and his friends, and the whole class which they represent—l. e., the educated thinking class in France—find themselves now simply gagged and bound hand and foot. They can't speak, *hey can't write, they can't move for any political purpose ; the whole world of action is taken away from them ; they cannot exercise any one gift or power as public men ; and this after they have been used to public life. They have not a single vent; the whole educated class in France has its mouth stopped. Conceive the tremendous irritation which must by the simplest laws of nature be going on under such. circumstances. Men must have occupations, and they must have occupations suited to their tastes and interests and understand ings. It is a mockery to give a political mind a military occupation, and say, " Go and fight, if you want something to do," or to offer it a scientific occupation or a literary occupation, and say, "Go and lecture on the schoolmen, if you want to do something. Get up the physical philosophy of the Arabians, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Greek chrono logy; compare the systems of Zoroaster and Pyth agoras ; elucidate the Platonic, Aristotelian, the lonic, and the Stoic systems, and bring out in pro per relief the differences of the Albertists, the Thomists, the Scoticists, and the Occamists." Political minds must have political occupations. The whole educated thinking class in France, after having had these occupations, and got to them, is now deprived of them. Of course they:are mad with irritation the irritation of forced torpor and inertia, all their powers pent up, and preying on themselves. What wonder that M. de Montalembert should now declare that he must either speak or dies "He is attacked by a ma lady," " his ears tingle," " he is stifled." " maniacs, if you will have it so, like myself," must vent them selves. thickness sufficient to withstand any tide. Up to the present the length which has been underrun, in order to substitute the shore end has, strange to say, been found uninjured, though it is not expected that this will prove the case when the whole 12 miles shall have been recovered and replaced with the stout cable. It is, of course, looked upon as certain that laying down the shore end must im prove the condition of the whole cable ; else, of course, the expense and labour of submerging it would never be attempted. Even in its present state the signals received at Valentia are occasion ally as distinct as those of some overland wires, and should any improvement take place when the shore end is added on, there are many who profess them selves confident of working through the whole wire for some time at least. Foremost among those who express this opinion is Professor Hughes, whose printing telegraph is extensively used in the United States, and which will also in the course of a few weeks more be introduced into Australia to work through the first submarine telegraph of that colony between Tasmania and Melbourne. Mr. Hughes states himself confident of being able even now to signal through the Atlantic cable, and is anxious to conduct all his experiments upon the wire at his own expense. The Atlantic Telegraph Company, on the other hand, say they have no dis inclination to permit Mr. Hughes to try his skill; yet, strange to say, though both parties are willing, nothing is done ne7erthelcss. Now, however, that the matter is made public Mr. Hughes may feel bound to press his offer, and the Atlantic Company, in fairness and in duty to its shareholders, will perhaps see the necessity of at once accepting a liberal proposal, which, whichever way it results, can do them or their cable no manner of injury, but, on the other hand, may possibly be of immense benefit. sidering it insuperable that we think a very sim- M. de Montalembert, then, appears as the cham pion of this class. He represents the rights of education and intelligence • in France ; he claims a share of political action for this class ; he demands a field for the simple exertion of their minds as citizens. These are the rights which M. de Mon talembert represents. There are many other rights belonging to other classes in a State,—there are the rights of the poor to fair treatment, there are religious rights of communion, there are rights of justice which belong to all, but there are the rights of the intelligent class to act and use their faculties as citizens. The educated class has it claims in herent in its very condition, just as the poor un educated mass has ; these are the rights of which M. de Montalembert is the champion. These men cannot help havin g m i n d s , b u t th e i r m i n d s are a simple curse to them if th ey are s h u t op w i t h out a particle of ground for play. " Oh, but we will " we will gov ern y ou , an d we save you the trouble of self-go vernmen t," says our or better th an y ou can your weffincildenotitdeasspwotiesllmas; selves." That is the plea of all despotisms, but it is a gross evasion of the point at issue. The ques tion is not whether power is used well or ill, whe ther it is successful on points of finance, commerce, police, &c., or the opposite ; but whether you have a right to monopolise all this - power, and allow nobody else any share of it. These men do not want to be saved the trouble of self-government ; they do not thank you for such kindness; that is the very thing they do not want. They wa n t th e vent, the occupation, the interest, the legitimate ex citement, the play of intellect, feelings, and power, which political life, or a share in the national go- vernment, affords: They feel it to be simple hypocrisy in your benevolent despot telling them that he benignantly relieves them of this arduous task; at all events, they reject the gift—they want nothing of the sort. - ,Vhat they want is to govern themselves in such a way and degree as constitutional ends allow. That is to say, they want liberty. Liberty is this very composition that has been just mentioned—it is action, vent, play, use . of powers, use of thought, use of speech, use of feelings, use of everything that we have, znd especially that use of them in our capacity as citizens and members of the commonwealth. T hat is liberty, and that is half of the advantage and fruit of liberty, though there is also a further advantage in liberty—viz., that it is in the end the surest road to prosperity. A despotism may point to the despatch and com pactness of its operations, and boast that, while freedom is wasting its time in talk and contention, one stroke of a despotic pen does the thing that is m a Ited ; but in the end freedom and self-g,overn- It will very likely be interesting to many of our readers if we explain at once on what grounds Mr. Hughes rests his hope of making the defunct wire speak again, especially as by so doing we may be able to point out tie nature of the difficulties which have gradually made the signals from the other side of the Atlantic unintelligible. When the first unsuccessful attempt was made to lay the wire, it will be recollected that it parted from under the Niagara's stern at some 350 miles distance from the Irish coast. The piece thus submerged remained, of course, attached to the shore end for a consider able period, and then, for the first time, the pheno menon of magnetic storms, or, as they are now called, " earth currents," was observed. Of the causes of these earth currents, or the laws by which they are governed, nothing is yet known. They may be briefly described as irregular currents of electricity passing through the outer wire cover ing of the cable, and which, according to the laws of induced currents, create another current in the conductor of the cable itself, running in a contrary direction to that in which the earth current travels along the outside. The effect of these on the conduc tor was,of course, to deflect rapidly the needle of the galvanometer to which it was attached, precisely as if signals were being ►ent quickly. Sometimes these earth currents were so violent as to cause the needle to vibrate with such rapidity that it was impossible to follow its movements with the eye. Singular enough, these storm currents were always at their worst at 10 o'clock at night and 10 in the morning, while they were, on the other hand, always least felt at 11 o'clock in the morning and 11 at night. Bsyond these general facts nothing seems to have been known about them. When the cable was laid last August the instruments were on the principle of Morse's recording telegraph, according to the system of which three or four currents or signals sent across the Atlantic are necessary to form one leiter of a word. While the cable was in good order, and its insulation tolerably perfect, this plan worked well enough, its greatest and most serious draw-' back only being that the method vas a very slow one, since on the average four signals were required to one letter, and five letters on the average went to one word. lrov . ever, all went well until the fz:.st ple process would remedy it if practically such an obstacle is found to exist, which we by no moans deny might be the ease. Both the machines at Newfoundland and Valentia would have to be made with the accurracy of chronometers, it being understood that both are to be put back to a given zero when a message was either sent or received. Let the first current then sent fcr a message either way liberate and set both instruments in motion, precisely in the same way as the letter is now printed, by liberating the armature and pressing the paper against the little wheel of type. The proper working of the machine is, however, Mr. Hughes's affair. It is only his offer to the Atlantic Company with which we have to deal, and whether it is worth anything or nothing should be decided ithas not been declined, and so the thing rests, like a child's rocking-horse, moving without advancing. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. The Tagus steamship, belonging to the Penin sular and Oriental Company, Capt. E. Christian, arrived at Southampton yesterday, at 2 p.m., with mails in charge of Lieut. Gard ner , R.N.— v i z., Gibraltar, Nov. 5; Cadiz, Nov. 6; Lisbon, Nov. 9 ; Vigo, Not - . 10. She had no communication with Oporto. Outwards the Tagus had moderate and fine weather ; homewards she encountered strong south-east, gales, with confused sea. • This packet brought 14 passengers, 3 packages of specie, value not stated, 290 quarter chests and 194 half-boxes of oranges, 144 boxes of dates, 5 boxes of grapes, 145 boxes of lemons, 297 boxes of eggs, 7 quarter casks and 2 octaves of wine, and 58 packages of general merchandise. At Gibraltar were her Majesty's ship Vulture and gunboat Quail. The latter returned from the Riff coast on the forenoon of the 31st ult. She first called and communicated at the Zafarine Islands, andthen at all the other Spanish penal settlements. Penon de Velez being the last place where the Quail touched at, she anchored for the night inside the fortification. While there several Ruffians with arms were perceived among the rocks ; but observing the British flag, they did not fire on the gunboat. Capt. Osborne, commanding the Quail, had private com munication with the different Spanish Governors. Her Majesty's steam troop-ship Himalaya, Capt. Seccombe, put into Gibraltar Bay during the night of the 4th inst., five days from Portsmouth. She had on board the 2d battalion of the 9th Foot, under the command of Brevet Lieut.-Col. William Sankey, and detachments of other corps whose regi ments are in garrison at the lonian Islands. After taking in some fresh provisions, &c., the Himalaya left for Corfu at a quarter past 10 o'clock on the morning of the sth. The Royal Victoria Yacht Club cutter Sultana, 14 days from Southampton, arrived at Gibraltar on the Ist. The British merchant steamer Vulture, Capt. J. Smith, six and a half days from Cardiff, with coals, arrived at Gibraltar on the Ist ; and the Meander, Capt. W. M‘Mickan, six days from Liverpool. with a general cargo for Palermo, Messina, and Trieste, on the 3d, and proceeded in the night. We are sorry to learn (says the Gibraltar Chro nicle) that the French steamer Ville de Cadiz, on the line between Saint Nazaire, Lisbon, Cadiz, Gib raltar, and Malaga, was completely lost on the night of the 22d-23d ult., off Cape St. Vincent. The Ville de Cadiz was on her voyage to Cadiz and this place when the disaster occurred. The whole of the cargo was lost with the vessel ; but the crew and passengers happily were saved. At Cadiz were the Russian line-of-battle ship Retorgan and the screw sloop Medweds, 11 guns. The latter arrived on the 30th ult., in 15 days from Cherbourg. The Spanish paddlewheel steamer Dona Isabel la Catolica, of 16 guns, Capt. Acha ; screw steamer Petronilla, of 37 guns, Captain Beranger ; and sail ing troop-ship Marigalante, of 2 guns, Captain Aycardo, left Cadiz on the 27th ult. with reinforce ments for the Havannah. The French Government steam yacht Reine Hor tense, of 2 guns, Captain Selvas, left that port on tke 28th. The Tagus left Her Majesty's ships Victor Eman uel, Euryalus, and Racoon anchored at Lisbon on the 9th, also the French steamer Coligny. Prince Alfred upon landing from the Euryalus was received by a guard of honour at the Lisbon Arsenal, and conducted to the Palace, where he is residing as the guest of the King and Queen of Portugal, who honoured the British Minister, Mr. Howard, and family, with some naval officers, by an invitation to dinner on the Bth. Exchange operations for this packet were limited at Lisbon by the short supply of bills, and money remained over on London at 53id. for three months. Bill 3 on the continent also in demand at 530 for Paris ; Amsterdam, 421; Hamburg, 48 ; and Genoa, 528. Stocks continued dull at the quotations of the previous packet. On the 11th inst. the Tagus passed the Alham bra, with the outward mails. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government emigrant ship Hornet, 1,155 tone, Captain Thomas Greevcs, sailed from Plymouth, on Wednesday, the 10th inst., for Sydney, Now South Wales, with 438 emigrants, in charge of Surgoon-Superintendent Andrew Sexton Grey, M.D. The Emigration Commissioners have given notice of their intention to receive tenders next Thursday, the 18th inst., for a ship to proceed to Melbourne, Victoria, to be ready for the reception of passengers on such days as the Commi sioners may appoint between the 3d and 10th Jan. of Mr. Poole will be mane THE CASE OF THE REv.

So much for the step- page of the wire. The reason for Mr. Hughes's con fident belief of being able now to work through simply arises • from the fact that this instrument— , the printing telegraph —is not exposed to anything like the same amount of risk from earth currents- His instrument is, on a small scale, mi very much the same principle as to shape and plan as Mr. Hoe's American printing machine. It is worked by means of key-notes, like those of a small piano, each key being marked with letters of the alphabet. Thus, touching a key at one end of the wire trans mits a current to the other, where, instead of the paper, as in Morse's telegraph, receiving a dint or mark that forms part of a letter, the entire letter itself is printed. The advantage o£ this is obvious. One current suffices to form ono letter instantane ously, instead of four or five currents. Less time is . thus given for the action of earth currents; or, even in case of their acting and printing in some cases other letters than those sent, it by no means follows that the letters so misplaced would prevent the accurate meaning of the sentence being read. Allow that under the worst circumstances one fourth of the letters, owing to the action of the earth currents, were wrong, sufficient would be right. and sufficiently consecutive to permit the meaning of the whole fo be freel3' read. At all events, Mr. Hughes's machine utilizes the currents to their utmost, since he makes one suffice for clearly print ing one letter, instead of requiring three or four. The only doubt is, can two such complicated ma • chines be made to work with mathematical accuracy when 3,000 miles apart? The objection is urged as something almost insuperable, though none deny that it is purely a mechanical one, and one that can by actual test, and the sooner the better. As the matter, stands at present he has made his offer and THE NAVY. The new screw steam frigate Orlando, 50, in Keyham yard, Devonport, is being brought forward for immediate trial, preparatory to her being placed in the second-class steam reserve. Her engines, con structed by Messrs. Penn and Son, were recently tried in moorings in the basin. They are of ,1,000 horse power (the largest in the navy) ; cylinders, 100 inches diameter ; stroke, 4 feet ; screw, 20 feet diameter ; pitch, 32 feet 6 inches ; 45 revolutions were made with a pressure of 131 b. per 'square inch —the utmost power allowed at moorings. The ex periment was considered satisfactory, and there are some expectations of obtaining 14 knots by steam only. The engines in the screw steamships Dia dem and Doris are of 800 horse-power. The crew of the gunboat Forward, Lieutenant and Commander Henry Davies, were paid off in Plymouth on Friday. The screw steamship Aboukir, 90, got up steam in Hamoaze on Saturday, and went outside Ply mouth Sound at nine in the morning, under the command of Capt. R. S. Robinson and officers of the steam reserve. The wind was strong from the eastward and the weather very rough. A mean of 91 knots was, however, obtained. The engines are by Messrs . . John Penn and Son ; mean revolutions, 631; steam, 201 b. ; vacuum, 26 ; pitch of screw, 17 feet 6 inches ; nominal power of engines, 400 horses; they worked up to about 600 horses. The Aboukir is in the second-class steam reserve. The steam vessel Harpy, Lieut.-Commander G. A. Brine, left Plymouth on Friday morning for Woolwich. TILL: In accordance with divisional orders issued by the Commandant of the Chatham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, the whole of the officers and men of the battalion now at head-quarters were on Saturday morning paraded at 9 o'clock, under the command of Lieut.-Col. W. H. March, for thepurpose of he ar i ng rea d t h e procee di ngs of a district court-martial, which recently assembled at Chatham for the trial of a bandsman, named Henry Davis, belonging to the Royal Marines, on a charge of disgraceful conduct in having de serted from 'head-quarters and subsequently en listed into the 17th Lancers, thereby defrauding the Government of the usual bounty paid to cavalry recruits, and also with disposing of two musical instruments belonging to the band. These facts were proved before the court-martial by the offi cers from the division and also the witnesses from the 17th Lancers, and it was also elicited that the prisoner had before this occurrence made away with an instrument belonging to the Marine band, for which offence he underwent a term of imprison ment. The judgment of the court-martial was read in the presence of the entire battalion, the prisoner, who wore the uniform of the 17th Lancers, being sentenced to be branded on the breast with the letter "D," to be imprisoned for 168 days in Fort Clarence Military Prison, and also to be placed under stoppages, until the whole sum of which he defrauded the War-office is made good. Imme diately the sentence had been read the prisoner was removed in charge of an escort to the military prison at Rochester to undergo his term of impri sonment. . Some experiments have 'been made at Chatham in the presence of a number of the officers belong ing to that garrison for the purpose of testing the merits of a new breech-loading cannon, which has been invented by Armourer-Sergeant R.'Parry, of the 3d battalion. The invention has several ad vantages over many of the breech-loading cannons which have hitherto been brought under notice, not the least of which are the great rapidity with which it can be loaded and fired, the ease -with which it can be handled, and the accuracy of aim to be ob tained. 1 On the first occasion of the experiments taking place, the gun invented by Sergeant 'Parry was tested, with the view of showing at what dis tance the charge would take effect. Although the model is only four inches long from the breech, the gun, it was found, did execution at 100 yar d s, an d out of the 100 rounds fired not one missed. On the second occasion of the experiments 50 rounds were fired in only five minutes, the gun being loaded and fired at the rate of 10 rounds per minute, the shots taking effect at 50 yards. The invention is highly approved by the officers before whom it has been tried, and a very favourable report of it will be made to the authorities at the War-office. It is stated by the inventor that the large guns on board vessels of war can be made to fire 10 rounds per minute by the same principle. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills. --- Gout and Rheumatism.—These most painful disorders are generally prevalent in town and country, and are to-be found as often in the patrician's palace as the pauper's cot. It is commooly supposed that gout and rheumatism are different diseases, but in fact they are identical, not distinct diseases, but different forms of the same disease, though it is true that some extreme cases may seem to disprove this assertion. The cause and seat of both is depraved blood, and be who would successfully contend with either must point his remedies to this vital fluid. Holloway's admirable ointment affords immediate local relief, and his wonderful pills, acting directly on the blood, eradicate the disease. PICCOLOMINI IN AMERICA. The New York papers speak in rapturous terms of the great London favourite, who appeared on the 20th October. We abridge the account given by the New York Herald:— " The grand operatic event of the season took place at the Academy of Music on Wednesday night, when Mr. Ullman introduced to the Ameri can public the long-expected Piccolomini in La Traviata.' Long before the opera commenced the streets in the vicinity were :choked up with car riages, and fairly floated in crinoline. Within, every place was occupied, the lobbies, aisles, and corridors being impassable. A description of the audience may be given in three words—everybody was there. The boxes in the first tier absolutely blazed with beauty, and we doubt if any theatre in the world ever presented such an array of pretty women. Almost every one was in full dress, and the effect was worth going miles . to see. When the fair cantatrice entered upon the scene she was greeted with such a recognition as our gallant public always gives to a stranger and a woman. The first impression was one of admiration at the rare personal gifts of the new prima donna.. With a petite figure, and a lovely brunette complexion, more transparent than those of Italian s genera lly ; a charming, rosy, tempting mouth ; an exquisitely moulded hand and arm, and an indescribable fas cination of manner—it was no wonder that Picco lomini vaulted at once into the affections of the audience. Her first air was received with a storm of applause as sharp as a volley of musketry, and its repetition followed as a matter of course. But the vocal powers of the lady still remained to be tested in the scena and aria which conclude the first act. Those who expected to hear florid execu tion must have been disappointed. In rapid chro matic and staccato passages Piccolomini is not sure. Her voice is pure in quality, and exceed ingly sympathetic ; it is a good soprano organ, but not a great one. In the remarkable effect wnich the French call the tears in the voice,' she has not been equalled within our recollection. But the truth must be told, even about a pretty woman, and the truth is that Piccolomini belongs to a school of Italian singers who have grown up with the Verdi operas, and who content themselves with giving an intense dramatic expression to the music, without troubling themselves about nice ties of execution. The question for the public to decide is whether or not the grand acting of such an artist as Piccolomini makes up for the absence of finished singing. So far the decision was una nimous. She was called out three times, and literally botanished with bouquets. ' The third act was fine. The artiste seemed almost inspired, and her outburst of joy at meeting Alfred was splen did. It was great acting. After the curtain fell the pent up enthusiasm of the public broke out in a storm Of applause rarely heard anywhere. We really cannot say how many times Piccolomini was recalled, having ceased to count after the third. She seemed much affected and inclining her head gracefully over the footlights said, I thank you with all my heart ; I am very, very grateful.' And so, in a hurricane of plaudits, and covered with flowersLa Piccolomini finished her first night on American boards." The second night wa s equally favourable, and the crowds are described as, if possible, becoming greater at .eacb. reprc sefitatio _ - - ! c- .-, - "Nc 7 2d Od Od 6d Od 1857. 117 1,326 '278 2,679 1,564 5,944 13,841 6,070 • 234 270 198 252 1,468' 1,560 1,668 495 63CP 1,024 '961 23,796 5,531 5,789 3, 382 256 1,373 7,265 25,103 1,348 6,290 27,701 -168 6647 20$J4 .445 58,499 1,346 13,321 14,289 771 1,009 10,735 - 830 1,062 31,489 3,822 1,534 3,941 1,030 5,672 35,126 2,207 7,201 1,003 4,574 159 2,934 3,811 1,563 2,830 1,597 'BB5 2,280 17,837 6,047 2,652 7,8.15 3,079 1,400 1,561 340 1,178 '541 3,524 453 448 317 780 33,560 348 1,107 1,421 3,447 10,277 1,068 9,800 9,876 3,892 '274 42,736 • 782 64,381 46,467 40,476 1,405 13,711 Elton, Novo- ,x, T• Chas• sham, JNG, 112, ty of ..,
