It would 13e ree,t,sn however, within the limits of an advertisement, to bir,Vlllate the numerous evidences of this truth whichthe . Directors are constantly receiving and they content them a recent, nerefore, with giving the following quotation from lar i e ading article in the " Times " which shows that shni- I nulia n fr nl ation had been reaching' that paper through its eerr espondents.

Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. • Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally fia7,rant 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 Spermatorrhcea 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.

The following despatch, indicating the general policy intended to be pursued by the Government in Oude, has just been put in circulation among the district officers:— " FOREIGN DEPARTMENT. (No. 5,209.) " FROM G. F. EDMONSTONE, ESQ, SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA WITH THE GOVERNOR-GENE - RAL, TO THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, OUDE, DATED ALLAHABAD, DEC. 13, 1858. " Sir,—Certain questions having been referred for the consideration of his Excellency the Right Hon. the Gover nor-General, respecting the interpretation to be placed, and the course of action to be taken, upon some of the points of the amnesty declared in the Royal proclamation, I have the honour to communicate to you, for your information, in continuation of my letter No. 4,444, dated the Bth ult., the following observations on the subject, which have been elicited by the reference. " 2. The first question is as to the meaning of the term ' British subjects,' as used in the proclamation—whether it is to be understood in its restricted sense, as limited to Eu ropean British subjects, or in its wider sense, as extending to all the subjects of the British Crown. " With regard to this point, I am directed to subjoin an extract (paragraphs 6,7, 8 and 9) from a letter addressed under date the 18th ult., No. 549, to the Government of Bombay, conveying the opinion of his Excellency the Go vernor-General as to the construction of the term British subjects.' You will be guided by his Lordship's interpre tation until otherwise advised : " ' 6. With reference to paragraph 5, there is no doubt that, literally and legally, the murder of British subjects in cludes the murder of those who are natives of India as well as of those who are English. But the Governor-General is strongly of opinion that, in justice and in policy, some dis tinction is to be drawn between the two cases. Many na tives have lost their lives by acts which were undoubtedly acts of murder, but which originated in old quarrels or party feuds, or were brought, about without premeditation, and committed at a time when the restraints of law and government were removed, among a people who have ever been careless of their own lives and of the lives of their neighbours, although they had hitherto learnt to respect the life of an Englishman. " 7. In such cases to pursue inquiry respecting every rebel suspected of being a partner in murder would be to keep numberless towns, villages, and districts in a ferment, and would inspire the community generally with little con fidence in the true value and spirit of the proclamation, and, as conviction would be very difficult, the country would in most places be kept in agitation without any sa tisfactory result. " ' 8. Therefore the Governor-General requires that, as a general rule, officers of Government should not closely investigate cases in which life has been taken under cir cumstances such as I have described, but that they should allow tho suspected rebel to benefit by the amnesty. 9. In cases where the act has been committed without provocation, in a cold-blooded, deliberate manner, or with circumstances of peculiar aggravation, his lordship would wish it to be dealt with as at any other time. " 3. Tho Governor-General has not felt that the Go-. meat is at liberty to give a more restricted sense to the term in question, because, although one effect of such an interpretation would be to reduce the number of punish able persons, another effect would be to make the spirit of the proclamation more exclusive, and to exhibit the Crown as less considerate of the lives of its Indian subjects than the literal and, as his lordship believes, legal meaning of the words used by the Crown warrants, and this not only as regards its Indian subjects of pure native birth, but also as regards those of mixed blood and of • the same faith with ourselves, who have suffered certainly in no less a degree than their fellow-subjects of pure English birth. " 4. Still it is practicably impossible, and, for reasons of policy, most unadvisable, to pursue each case of murder, committed upon a native or-to hold in hand punishment for all perpetrators of such crime. And it is this consideration which guided the instructions to the Government of Bom bay as above cited. " 5. The second question is as to the precise sense of the words ' directly taken part in the murder, &c.' " The Governor-General attaches the utmost importance _ _ to the word directly in the above passage of the proclama tion. In a hypothetical case of a regiment whose officers were shot down by the men, though it cannot be proved who fired, although his lordship does not consider it neces sary that a Sepoy should be proved to have fired his musket at an officer in order to bring him within the scope of the word directly,' his lordship does consider it necessary that something more should be proved against him than the Fact of his having been present in the ranks at the time of the murder. His Excellency thinks it should be shown that the Sepoy took an active part in aiding and abetting the murder. " In the opinion of the Governor-General it certainly is not in the spirit of the amnesty that the guilt of the act should be spread over those who were neither perpetrators nor instigators of it. gi 7. In cases of murder, other than those of murder of officers by mutineers, the same rule should govern the appli cation of the words 'directly taken part ;' the spirit of the term ' directly' being in all cases carefully kept in view, in order that mercy may not be stinted. "8. Many civil officers, however, may have no means of ascertaining what took place on a particular occasion of mutiny at some disiant stations, and the Governor-General is of opinion that it will probably be necessary hereafter to institute inquiry by a special tribunal into the cases of the murder of officers by their regiments. 9. In_connection with the subject of the treatment of men belonging to regiments whichmurdered their officers, I have to refer you to the enclosure of my letter No. 5,061. " 10. The third question is as to the admission of suits, criminal and civil, on account of wrongs done to individuals during the rebellion. " The ninth paragraph of the letter addressed to the Go vernment of Bengal, a copy of which was enclosed in my letter to you, No. 4,444, dated the Bth ult., deals with this point. Wherever such acts of wrong have been done in prosecution or support of the rebellion the Governor-Gene ral is of opinion that they should be pardoned and ignored. " 11. In the case of villagers who have lived on plunder for months, and whom, upon their return to their villages, their plundered neighbours may wish to sue and to have punished, it being implied that the acts of plunder were I Committed in a district where rebellion was at the time un- being in the excepted classes, will save his property. " 14. Where confiscation has taken place, the seventh paragraph of the enclosure of my letter, No. 4,444, dated the Bth ult., prescribes cases in which the sentence should be reconsidered. The Governor-General is of opinion that the proclamation does not entitle an owner to restitution after actual adjudication ; but his Excellency thinks that it will be in the spirit of the proclamation that, in the cases described in the paragraph just referred to, the sentence should be reconsidered. If the property has not only been confiscated, but awarded to others, or disposed of, reconsi deration cannot take place. " 15. The fifth question relates to the fining of village communities for offences committed during the rebellion. Does the amnesty condone those offences ? "The Governor-General is of opinion that no fines should be imposed where the inhabitants have returned to their homes and peaceful pursuits ; and his Excellency is averse from imposing such fines even where murder of Dritgh subjects shall have been committed in a village, the individual perpetrators being unknown. The Governor- General considers that it is contrary to the spirit of the amnesty that the innocent should suffer for the guilty wherever this can be avoided ; and it could scarcely be as sumed, in any case with which his lordship is acquainted, 'that all were guilty. " 16. But the Governor-General thinks that it is quite just and reasonable that a village or town should be re quired to restore public buildings which were destroyed by the inhabitants, and that a fine should be levied from them for this purpose. This would be not so much a penal fine as a bare restitution; and it is more fair, in his lordship's opinion, that those buildings should be restored by the par ticular community which bore the chief part in destroying them, and which now needs them again, than that the ex pense should fall upon the country at large. The Governor- General has already authorised the levying of fines in such cases in Oude. " 17. The sixth question relates to mutineers or rebels in custody, or whose trials are pending. Is the amnesty to apply to them ? " This question is answered by paragraph 5 of the en closure to my letter, No. 4,444, dated the 14th ult, accord ing to which the benefit of the - amnesty is extended to those who, not being of the excepted classes, are now in' our hands, although this may not be due to any submission or surrender on their part. The only condition prescribed is that such persons shall consent to return, and shall, in fact, return to their homes and peaceful pursuits. " 18. In regard to rebels and mutineers already con victed and undergoing sentence, the Governor-General has no doubt that the amnesty does not extend to them; but his lordship desires me to take this opportunity to express his conviction that, both in policy and in justice, a revision of many of the sentences under which men have been transported and imprisoned will be necessary. His Excel lency thinks, however, that this measure should not be undertaken at the present time. For the moment we have enough to do to watch the results of the pardon given to those who are unconvicted, and of the disbandment of the disarmed regiments. Any considerable remission or re laxation of sentences legally passed should be reserved till the districts still disturbed have been reclaimed to order. " I have, &c., "G. F.

Yesterday evening the Parliamentary and other members of the Society for the Promotion of the Adoption of Vote by Ballot had a public dinner at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street. The attend ance of the Parliamentary members of the society was by no means so numerous as the public had been led to anticipate from the advertised announce ments of the festival, and not more than 120 gentle men in all sat down to the banquet. The Hon. H. F. Berkeley, M.P., presided, and there were also present—Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. Nicoll, M.P., Sir J. V. Shelley, M.P., Mr. J. Locke, M.P. Mr. White, M.P., Gen. Thompson, M.P., Mr. Cox, Admiral Sir C. Napier, M.P., Sir J. Lillie, Mr. S. M. Gr eer , M . P ., C o l . S y k es, M . P ., Mr. Ayrton, M.P., M r . S ergeant Gaselee, *Mr. Sergeant Wool rych, with gentlemen from Manchester, Birming ham, Glasgow, Nottingham, &c. The dinner was excellent and most admirabiy served, and, the cus tomary musical accessories being dispensed with, the business of the evening in the way of speaking commenced immediately grace was said and the cloth removed. The usual loyal toasts having been given and duly responded to the Chairman gave " the Army and Navy." Gen. THOMPSON. M.P., returned thanks for the farmer branch of the service, and after alliulliut to a great variety of general topics, concluded by ex pressing his opinion that the country was in a most defencless condition, and that there were £12,000,000 in the Bank almost unprotected, and call:Ng atten tion to what prize money that sum would give among the first 100,000 men who could seize it. Sir C. NAPIER, in responding for the Navy, took an almost equally gloomy view of the condition of the country, asserting that there was nothing to prevent an invasion of England. The French, he said, possessed 180 steam vessels in their com mercial marine, and at least 150 steamers in their navy. England, it was true, possessed many more than this; but what was there to prevent the Em peror of the French from laying an embargo on all the vessels in his ports, using them as transports for his troops, and in a fortnight from such a tune all his fleet might anchor in the Portland Roads. It was very well for people to say such things could not be done, but he was a warrior whose life had been passed in conflicts, and lie knew what could be done, and he was sure the country was not at pre sent secure, as regarded the national defences, from an invasion. The Emperor of the French had 20 sail of the line which he could man, while England had only five sail of the line 'at Cork. This, he thought, was not a safe state for this country to be in. Letters of regret that prior engagements pre vented their attendance were then read from Lords Stanley and Durham, while the letters which were also read from Sir B. Hall, Mr. Villiers, M.P., Mr. M. Gibson, M.P., and Mr. S. Crawford, not only expressed their regret at non-attendance, but their cordial good wishes on behalf of the cause of the ballot. The following letter was also read from Mr. Bright amid much applause : "Rochdale, Feb. 15, 1859. "My dear am very sorry that Tam not able to be in town this week, and that I cannot be present . at your meeting to-morrow, to show how much I unite with you and our other friends in opinion in favour of the ballot. Of the early success of your labours I do not doubt. The great Reform party in the three kingdoms is unanimous as to the necessity and justice of the ballot, and without it any ex tension of the franchise will be felt by multitudes to be an evil rather than a privilege to be prized. " The reform party is a ballot party, and any attempt to give satisfaction without the ballot must fail. "Your association has been of great service, and I hope you will continue your labours until your object is accom plished. . " Believe me, very sincerely yours, "JOHN BRIGHT. "Edward C. Whitehurst, Esq., London." The CHAIRMAN then said, he was about to pro pose what was called in general parlance the toast of the evening. He felt a great deal of diffidence in proposing that toast, and if it was necessary that he should stand up and argue for the ballot, or prove its necessity by a process of logical reason. ing, he should lose a good deal of time if he were not able to say something strongly in favour of the question. But to paraphrase the motto " //tots a non lucendo," he might say that talking on the ballot was eloquentia et non loquenda. (Laughter.) It would be an absolute absurdity for him to enter into the matter there. They all knew the subject, and instead of his teaching them there were many around who could teach him. They wanted no thing said as regarded the argument of the ques tion; therefore, in proposing the toast, he would speak, not of the ballot as necessary to be defended, but as to the actual position in which the ballot Question stood at present. That was interesting to them all, and it was a question on which they might reasonably confer. As regarded, then, the position of the question, he thought, not allowing " hope to tell a flattering tale," that they had reason for much congratulation. He looked upon the question as a fast rising one. " - In the first place it had the support of some active—and some, per haps, more passive-237 members of the House of Commons. (Cheers.) That was a vast phalanx, and it had been said by persons who were better acquainted with such matters than himself, that a smaller number of united men could carry any question. (Cheers.) As regarded the union of the Liberal party the less they said about that the better—(laughter)—but he did not think that that reproach attachedto those gentlemen who advocated the ballot, for he was sure they were all united on that question. (Cheers.) What made him con sider the question of the ballot as a rising one was, that in watching the press, which he did on this subject very anxiously, he observed that those faithful recorders of public proceedings, the re porters, placed more " cheers," and " reiterated cheers," . and "great sensations," and those well known marks of approbation against all mention of the ballot, in all parts of the United Kingdom, much more so than to any other question of reform. (Cheers and laughter.) He had observed, in many of the constituencies, when various able and experi enced members had been addressing them, that when they perhaps got on to dubious ground, and tread ing too much on the subject of peace, or the subject of war—he observed, when these little accidents happened, hon. members generally brought them selves beautifully up by a happy reference to the ballot. (Cheers.) However weak their arguments on all other points had been, people always thought their arguments strong when they asserted that the ballot was a necessary shield to place before the elector. (Cheers.) He did not say too much when he said that this was universally the ca se at publi c meetings. But there were other signs of the times, and in saying that he really mentioned the subject of his thoug hts, which was the Times. N o man had more respect for the splendid power of writing which the Times newspaper possessed, but no man from one end of the kingdom to the other had a more hearty contempt for the way in which that paper used it. (Cheers . ) He con fessed—and he stated it as a fact, for he knew it, and had but too often felt it, and he should, please God, feel it again —that no man was more nervous in coming before the public than he was. He never rose to speak in the House of Commons without the greatest tre pidation, but he felt no trepidation when he was pitted against a man who wrote from the ballot-box of the Times. It was but a man, and a man making use of that principle which he denied to others-- (cheers) —and he was about to call their attention to the fact that, great as was the power of the Times—magnificent as some of its articles were, alternately surprising either by the force of their logic, or carrying away readers by their humour— yet, on the subject of the ballot, that paper had been guilty of putting forth articles for which a schoolboy would be whipped. And yet, with its command of money and its great command of talent, it had at last been compelled to take the field against the ballot, which it had formerly affected to despise, passing over the question as " coming in once a year with green peas," and all that style of writing ; it was now compelled to buckle to the question and try what it could do with it by fair argument and fair logic ; and he asked them honestly where was the Times when fairly weighed on that question ? (Cheers.) Well, then, he said, if all the best orators and men skilled in debate in the House of Commons had failed to bring any new argument against this question at all vali d, and if that great leading journal became perf ectl y contemptible, and from argument sli pped into mere for sa y ing that was that not a strong re ason that their cause was so powerful that such a paper as the Times, with all the united ability abe o to shake it ? f old Whigs and impenitent Tories, wa (Cheers.) Seeing, then, tha s t they un had got out at last the real guard of the enemy in the shape of the Times brought into t he field against them, and see ing that they could ma k e no more effect than the v anguard had done before, it was a reason for con gratulating themselves that they stood strong both in argument and right. He thought he had not slipped into any argument for the ballot, or gone beyond the limits which he had pre.seribed self, as to stating the position of the q UeS t i . congratulated' them on that position, tine-would give them a toast in connexion with the proposed Reform Bill. Of Mr. Bright's bill he need not, of course, say anything, for he had been alway s a stanch steadfast supporter of the ballot ; but there were other Reform Bills—Lord Derby's, for instance, which was to come off on the 28th inst., and with regard to the details of which there were many rumours afloat. He had heard some people say that they were to have a permissive ballot, but he could only say, as regarded a permissive ballot, that, although it was a most objectionable form in which to give such a measure, yet, if they would accompany the permission by the test of the ballot —if they would ballot for the ballot, then he thought, speaking, of course, with submission to those around him, that that was a proposition which they ought to accept. (Cheers.) When they heard a Tory proposing a reform bill at all, it was so mon strously opposed too all that they had ever heard of Tories, but more especially of Tory Ministers, pro posing to give to the people of England in any shape protection and independence to the voters, that he could only turn round and look through the counties ; look at the lords of great estates—he could only look at the tyranny exer cised over the working classes by the Tories, and they could all see that, Tory as that tyranny was, it became impossible that they would ever give them any measure half so liberal, unless they at once abjured the character of Tories, renounced their errors, and said they started as new men. He would conclude by giving " Vote by Ballot, the chief Requisite of all Parliamentary Reform." The toast was drunk with the usual honours. Mr. BARNARD proposed " The 237 Members of Parliament who supported the Ballot," and urged upon the members of the society present the neces sity for uniting upon such a question, and making it one independent of Governments, and one to be pressed alike upon the consideration of all. He was sure that no measure of Parliamentary Reform which did not acknowledge the principle of vote by ballot would ever be acceptable to the people of this country. (Cheers.). .e Sir J. V. SHELLEY returned thanks on the part of the members of the house. He said he quite agreed with what the last speaker had hinted at— that it was time the members who supported vote by ballot should firmly unite in pressing their just demands upon the present or any other Govern ment, no matter what their politics. A great many rumours and surmises had gone abroad respecting the coming Ministerial Reform Bill and its provi sions; but he sincerely believed that but few knew anything accurately about that measure, for the secret of its details had been exceedingly well kept. He, however, for one, did not believe in the pro- , ,. mise of a permissive ballot, and thought all their expectations on that head would end in some mere dodge—(cheers)—in the way of voting papers, or some such paltry excuse. Voting papers might be all very well for the sick, the timid, or cripples, but such an expedient could render no service to the bone or healthy vigorous muscle of the country. Mr. ROUPELL briefly proposed "The Council of the Ballot Society," to which Mr. J. WHITE, M.P., responded. Other toasts, more or less connected with the ob ject for which the festival was given, such as. the "Ballot•elected Members of the Australian Colc. nits," " The Executive Committee of the Ballot Society," &c., were duly given and honoured, " The Health of the Chairman' concluding the proceed ings at an advanced hour. THE NAVY, Commodore the Hon. James R. Drummond, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to her Majesty and superinten dent of Woolwich Dockyard, yesterday hoisted his broad pennant onboard the receiving ship Fisgard, at Woolwich, and assumed the duties of the yard on the expiration of his leave of absence. Commander L. R. Reynolds has been appointed agent of mails, vice Western ; and Mr. Charles Love, Master's Assistant to the Algiers. M. Vianson, inspector of steam machinery in the service of his Majesty the King of Sardinia, was yesterday permitted by a special order from the Admiralty, applicable to foreign visitors, to inspect; the super-heating steam apparatus at Woolwich, invented by Mr. Partridge, assistant chief engineer of the dockyard factory, for economising the con sumption of fuel on shipboard, with a view of introducing the same in the naval service of that country. M. Vianson was likewise furnished with an order to verify the capabilities and advantages to be obtained by the substitution of Bray's traction engines, under construction by Messrs. F. and J. Hughes at their factory at New-cross, for service at the dockyards of Woolwich and Keyham, The steamship Urgent, Commander Macdonald, with troops, which put into Plymouth Sound on Friday, took in several tons of ordnance stores on Saturday, and sailed on Monday for Malta. Topsail-yards were crossed on board the screw steamship James Watt, 91, at Devonport on Friday last ; on Tuesday she was removed from dock. The screw steamship St. Jean d'Acre, 101, was placed in dock at Keyham on Monday. The screw steamship Aboukir, 90, was masted at Devonport on Tuesday. The crew of the screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, Captain Rochfort Magnin, were paid off at Devon port on Tuesday. The Mersey, 40, screw.—The alteration of the sheer of this mighty frigate, by cutting down the hammock rails forward and heightening the same amidships is a great improvement, and has taken away the appearance (which she previously pre sented) of a huge merchant ship. The Termagant, 25, screw, Captain R. Hall, has taken advantage of the late two or three fine days and has had the painters over the side. No ship has fitted out so smartly or quickly. THE NEW DOCK AT PORTSINIOUTH.—The con tractors for the iron caisson at the opening into the harbour have commenced building this gigantic security. The caisson will be more than 100 feet across and about 300 feet in breadth; the keel and midship ribs are already riveted together. The dock is fast approaching completion, and will be sufficienVy large to receive the Great Eastern, or in thiee distinct compartments to dock three such ships as the Agamemnon. The paddlewheel steam sloop Virago, Com mander Dunn, from Liverpool, with 37 supernu meraries for the flag ship ; the gunboat Hind, from Falmouth, with 17 volunteers for the St. Jean d'Acre, and two for the Impregnable; and the Diligence, Crook master, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday. Yesterday, Captain Norton, who recently expe rimented at Chatham with his liquid fire-shell and. some new descriptions of bullets he has invented, the effects of which are very remarkable, again attended at the head-quarters of the Royal Engi neers' establishment,Brompton, for the purpose of ex hibiting an equally valuable invention of his, named the explosive percussion bolt-signal, which will be found of great use as a military alarm signal. In the trial of the invention yesterday, the " signals" were taken in the hand and being allowed to fall either on the earth or :even on the grass exploded, with a sufficiently loud report to be heard a con siderable distance. Captain Norton proposes to apply the same signals to be used on railways, so as to enable passengers and guards to communi sate with the driver of engines. The Nankin, 50, Commodore Hon. K. Stewart, will be paid off at Chatham to-morrow, when those of the crew who are continuous service men will be allowed six weeks run ashore before they join another vessel. THE ARMY.
