ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRME A; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."--London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true 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 th reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

How could Government be lieve in their sincerity whsn they objected to the removal of these burdens which were special and known ? If they could not remove those grievances in the bulk he thought they should try to remove them singly. He closed by moving the following resolution, and said that he was willing to sub scribe £lO towards its object:— "That Mr. Feiwick be requested to introduce a bill into the ensuing session of Parliament for the abolition of pass ing tolls on shipping, and that a subscription list be now opened for the purpose of paying all expenses incurred in the prosecution of that Bill." Mr. DENNISTON, in explanation, said that he had offered no opinion as to the measure proposed by their member. He merely deprecated the intro duction of such a measure into their body, as he considered it would divide them. Mr. R. M. HunsoN seconded Mr. Candlish's motion, and said that Sunderland paid £2,000 a year to Whitby harbour as a passing toll, while Hartlepool and Stockton did not pay one farthing. (Hear.) He thought it was their duty to try to remedy this evil. He agreed with Mr. Candlish's remarks, and thought it absurd not to endeavour to relieve themselves from a burden of 19s. 61. in the pound because s.-miebody else-would get the other sixpence. At Bridlington the toll was not quite so much, but it was equally unjust. Sunderland, Sea ham, and Newcastle contributed to it, but Hartle pool and Stockton were exempt. This was the ob jection which was raised by the French Emperor when the question of reciprocity was put to him. He said he could not grant us reciprocity, be cause we would not treat them with equal jus tice The question of pilotage was equally objec tionable, and ho showed some of its anomalies. With respect to funds, he believed that some of the old funds subscribed for this very purpose were still in the hands of the gentleman who had been proposed as treasurers. They had held the money for two years, and it could not be applied for its in tended object. The motion was then put stnd carried. The SECRETARY 'said be felt certain as light dawned upon the people they would see that free trade did not do for British shipping. The meeting then closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. MR. NEIVDEGATE, M.P. Mr. Newdegate has made a speech on public affairs. lie congratulated the agricultural interest on the fact that it now bore " a large share in the legislation" of the country. He congratulated him self as having last session prevented an attempt made to throw open the Chancellorship of Ireland to Roman Catholics. He alluded to his proposed compromise of the church rates question (a county rate of twopence in the pound when rates had been paid for seven years), as a proposal with which he should persevere. He continued—" Towards the end of the session I appeared in what has been thought an anomalous character—namely, as the defender of the property rights of the Roman Catholic laity against the attacks of Cardinal Wise man. The Roman Catholic laity possess certain en dowments for the administration of their religion, which, under the free laws of England, they them selves administer; but Cardinal Wiseman, through the weakness of certain parties, grasped at those trusts in a manner which mold not but be consi dered an aggression upon the institutions of the country. There are Roman Catholics in this country as loyal as ourselves, and it was against the intro duction of the Jesuit system that I defended the Catholic laity at the fag end of the session, and hap pily succeeded. With reference to our foreign politics, I trust that there is no fear of an in vasion, but that there is a possibility th , t an invasion might succeed, I say upon the aithority of the late Duke of Wellington. In 1847 the Duke of Wellington published a letter, in which he told Sir John Burgoyne that for years' he had urged upon successive Governments the dan gerous state of our defences, and he concluded in these emphatic terms—emphatic as coming from a man of undoubted courage like the noble duke. He said, He thanked God that he might not live to witness the consummation of those dangers which he had failed in persuading his countrymen to avert.' And what was it ho thought necessary for the ef fectual defence of the country ? He said, ' He might be thought rash, but with 150,000 well-organised militia, a small increase of the line, and a consider able increase of the artillery, he would undertake the protection of England. Well, I read that letter in the House of Commons in 1852, during the dis cussion upon the Militia Bill, and to the honour of Lord Derby's Government and the patriotic spirit of Lord Palmerston, we with much difficulty passed that measure. But remember this-150,000 well organised militia was the minimum that the Duke of Wellington said was necessary, and we have never had 85,000. We have, in point of fact, never had half. Looking to the state of the navy, it has been observed that it is scarcely superior to the navy of France alone, and totally unable to resist any combination. Such was tho length to which the apathy of the country, and the economical mania of some, actuated by the designing policy of others, have gone, that it has rendered us exposed to the aggressions of France for years. Even Louis Philippe warned her Majesty that, though he would be the last man to break the alliance, it was dangerous to leave the country in such a defenceless condition before the people of France, who in some evil hour might be incited to impel their Government, in remembrance of former victories of ours, to make an inroad on our shores. It is, therefore, a subject of congratulation to find such a manly spirit aroused throughout the country as is manifested in the for mation of volunteer corps." Mr. Newdegate said, as to Portsmouth :—" Though it is generally be lieved that Portsmouth, the principal arsenal of our navy, the port which commands the Channel, is defended, the truth is the defences it possesses are utterly worthless, and you could not devise a better scheme for the destruction of the garri son than the present state of its fortifications. No man with any military knowledge can doubt that under certain circumstances it would be pos sible to land 50,000 men upon our shores, and if they turned Portsmouth, took it in the rear, and possessed themselves of that arsenal, they would have the best basis they could procure for their operations. No doubt in the course of time we should beat them back; but remember that the experience of the Crimea has shown that the sea is the best basis of operations, and, if an army effects a lodg ment on our coast, and we happen to lose Ports mouth Arsenal, the Channel would no longer be at our command, and the 50,000 invaders might soon be augmented by 50,000 more, and 50,000 after them. And we should have hard work indeed to stop an army- of 100,000 men from advancing on the capital. (Hear, hear.) Ido not say that this will happen, but I do say that there ought not to be a possibility of its occurring." (Cheers.) In conclu sion, Mr. Newdegate referred to foreign affairs, and expressed his opinion that England should not go into a congress. The American steamer Ocean Queen, Capt. Sea bury, sailed from Havre on Wednesday morning for Now York, with 40,000 dols. in specie, 800 tons of goods, and 180 passengers. The Ocean Queen entered the port on Sa turday morning, and has consequently discharged one cargo and taken in another, with 700 tons of coals, in the short space of four days.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1859. TEE SUNDERLAND SHIPOWNERS AND PROTECTION SOCIETY. On Tuesday a meeting of the Sunderland Ship owners Society was held in the Exchange in that town, with a view to form a Chamber of Com merce, in connection with the society, and for, other business. Mr. Lowe occupied the chair. The Secretary, Mr. Robt. Brown, read a series of resolu tions, with a view to the union proposed, and he also read the following letters . "London, 14, St. James's-place, Nov. 8. "My dear Sir,—l have taken the opportunity which my presence in London has given ins to make inquiries as to the intention of the authorities on the subject pf passing tolls and other imposts that injuriously affect the shipping interest. I find the question in a very perplexing state, chiefly arising from the forme of Parliament, the nature of which I will endeavour to explain to you. "In the first place, I may toll you that individually I gave my hearty approval to the form of Bill introduced by Mr. Lowe in 1856, which dealt generally with the subject, and included all imposts whatever, including local dues and passing tolls. This form of proceeding, however, had the disadvantage of combining opposition, and thus making it more likely to be successful. This was felt by Mr. Lowe, who introduced a Bill in the following year, which dealt with passing tolls alone, and this Bill had every prospect of being carried, when it was objected, in the Standing Orders Committee, that the Bill was in the nature of a pri vate Bill. The question was referred to the Speaker, who decided that it was in the nature of a private Bill, and that consequently all the conditions of a private Bill must be complied with before it could in accordance with the rules of the House be proceeded with. Now, the first condition of a private Bill is that notice shall be given to the parties whose interests aro sought to be affected, and that the no tices shall ,be published in the journals of the district in three successive weeks in the month of November preced. ing the session of Parliament. This had not been done and hence Mr. Lowe's Bill, by the rules of the House, fe to the ground. " That which was fatal to Mr. Lowe's Bill in 1857 would be fatal to any similar Bill in 1860, and hence I naturally feel much anxiety on the subject, the more especially as I know the shipownlins of the North of England take a deep interest in it. " Acting, then, on my own responsibility, not having time to consult with any one (for the notices must be prepared and sent out to-morrow), I have instructed Mr. Wyatt, the well-known Parliamentary agent, to draw up notices, and to do everything that may be necessary to comply with the rules of the house, so that a bill to abolish passing tolls (which I shall move myself) may not be met and over thrown by a mere technical objection. I shall be glad if you will lay this matter at your earliest convenience before the Shipowners' Society, in order that their opinion may be taken of the propriety of the course I have adopted, and that they may assume the position, if they should approve of it, that I have thought it right temporarily to adopt. " Before I leave London I will endeavour to ascertain the views of those who were the most strenuous advocates of our views on former occasions. I have no doubt that we may rely with confidence on their hearty co-operation. As the matter of passing tolls is of equal interest to the ship owners of the Tyne and other northern ports, perhaps it might be desirable to ascertain their views, which you could easily do.—Bolieve me, yours faithfully, "HENRY FENIVICX, " Mr. Robert Brown, Secretary of Shipowners' Society, Sunderland." "8, Austinfriars, London, Nov. 17. "My dear Sir,—l have your note of yesterday, and I trust you will convey to the committee of the Shipowners' Society my best thanks for their invitation to attend the public meeting which is to bo held on Tuesday next. The question they propose to discuss is one of great national im portance, and ono in which I am myself, as well as a large number of my constituents, very deeply interested. I would therefore have had great pleasure in accepting the invita tion you have been so good as to send to me, but unfortu nately my engagements aro such that it is not in my power to bo in Sunderland on the day fixed for the meeting. "I would readily meet your wishes and give my views in writing, bit the subject is far too important, and I may add, too serious, to be casually discussed in the narrow limits of a letter. So much have I felt this to be the ease that since Parliament rose every spare hour I could com mand has been devoted to its study, and my views are em bodied in a work new in the press, to be entitled ' Our Mer chant Shipping ; its Present State Considered.' Whenever that work is published I shall have great pleasure in pre senting copies to you for the use of the committee of Ship owners Society of Sunderland ; and though it is not to be expected that we can all agree on a subject where opinions are at present so conflicting, I do trust that in all those re medies which are practicable I shall have their generous support. Unless there is unity among the shipowners themselves for the adoption of those remedial measures which it is in the power of the Legislature to grant, we shall be treated as we have hitherto to )n, and other class interests, considering us as a rope of sand,' will as and obtain relief from their own peculiar burdens, while those which have so long oppressed our merchant shipping will be allowed to romain.—Very faithfully yours, " Mr. Robert Brown." " W. S. LINDSAY. The resolutions read by the secretary were then aken up seriatim. The first was to the following effect : " The Sunderland Insurance Clubs, by which the Ship owners Society has been hitherto wholly supported, having made their future support thereof dependent on its funds being contributed generally by the shipowners of the port, and the commerce and manufactures of Sunderland having identical interests with its shipping, it is resolved that the society be designated ' The Sunderland Shipowners society and Chamber of Commerce,' and that all persons be mem bers thereof who contribute ss. per annum." On this resolution being put to the meeting, Alderman JOSHUA WILSON said, it involved the consideration of why the Shipowners Society had not had that general support from the great body of shipowners to which a society occupying its position was entitled. He considered that one great reason was, the difference of opinion between the members of the society and the great bulk of the shipowners as to what description of measures was best calculated to benefit the shipping inte rest. The society, instead of doing their best in assisting the borough members and members of Parliament generally of free trade principles to reduce and take off the onerous burdens on ship ping, had been led away into asking protection again, and pressing the necessity of retaliatory measures against certain nations which had not ad mitted British shipowners to the full enjoyment of those privileges which Britain had conceded to them. He considered that, though these nations might not have acted to them exactly as they could have wished, it was bad policy to commence reta liatory measures. He had read an able letter of the secretary of the Shipowners Society, and he must say that in some portions of the letter, parti cularly those in which he brought forward the principles of political economy, he fully concurred; but he must say he could not agree with that gen tleman that the shipowners of this country required encouragement—or, in other words, required pro tection. He did not agree with him that their shipowners were losing ground, and that the fo reigners were encroaching on them. Ho considered that the depressed state of shipping was in a great measure, if not wholly, owing to the fact that the increased profits in the shipping interest, resulting from the repeal of the Navigation Laws, together with the Crimean war, had caused such an influx of capital into the shipping interest of this country that now, when there was a reaction of trade, there was too much capital invested not only in the ship ping of this country, but in that of others, for they must know that the Americans, through the Cali fornian mania and other things, rushed into ship ping and built too many ships, and that the trading interests of the world were so united that the ship ping of one country could not now suffer without that of other countries suffering with it. He wished to bring forward a few statistics to show the great advantage the repeal of the Navigation Laws had been to the shipping of this country. (Hear.) He might state that the comparative tonnage of British and foreign shipping employed in their imports and exports was not now so much a criterion by which to judge of the progressive or non-progres sive state of British shipping as it was formerly ; because, by the repeal of the Navigation Laws there was an immense trade opened to their shipping which was closed by the operation of those laws. A ship could now carry sugar from Brazil or Havana to France on the same terms as French ships ; it could do the same to America, but it could not have done so before. Now, British chips that carried goods to foreign countries did not figure in the re turns, as they would formerly have done, though they were still employed. In the same way the re peal of the navigation laws caused more foreigners to come to this country, but he maintained, as he had maintained before the committee of the House of Lords 10 years ago, that this did not injure Bri tish shipowners. For instance, a Hamburg ship, with a cargo of sugar from Havannah, which, while the navigation laws were in force, would never have gone to London, would now be induced to land its cargo in that port. They still, however wanted such cargoes on the continent, and they could send to London and get their supplies thence, instead of getting them direct in their own ships; and he would ask whether goods warehoused in London and wanted on the continent were not more likely to give increased employment to British shipping than to diminish the amount of such employment ? To make his position good as to the benefit the re peal of the navigation laws had done to British shipping, he would take the tonnage registered in the United Kingdom. He found that in 1801 there were 1,766,000 tons registered. In 1837 that had increased to 2,296,000 tons, being an increase in 36 years of 610,000 tons. About:lB37 he believed there was au'impetus given to shipping by bad harvests; and that was succeeded by Sir R. Peel's free-trade measures in 1842. The free-trade measures gave great employment to shipping, for he found in the 12 years from 1837 to 1849, when the navigation laws were repealed, that the increase of shipping in the United Kingdom was 1,131,000. Thus, in 12 years, there was twice the increase there was in the 36 years previous, showing that the profits of shipping must have been better than those of other trades; that the capital flowed from these trades into shipping. Then, the last day of 1849 saw the repeal of the navigation laws, by which the British shipowner was forced to compete with the untaxed foreigner, and by which he was going to be ruined. Now, he found in the eight years from 1849 to 1857 there was an increase of not less than 1,064,000 tons of shipping, nearly equal to that of the 12 years before, and twice as great as during the 36 pars of protection, thus showing that there was a regular rush of capital into the shipping interest on the repeal of the Navigation Laws. It might be said that was owing to the Crimean war ; hut, if he recollected, the Russian war commencedin 1854, and in the eight years he had referred to he found that one half of the increase was in the first four, and the other in the remainder —so that in each four years from the repeal of the Navigation Laws to the year 1857 there was as much increase as in the 36 years from 1801 to 1837. lie considered they could not have a greater proof than that of the advantage of free trade to the Bri tish shipowner. It would be seen, he added, that the coasting trade, from which the Americans ex cluded British vessels, was comparatively small, and a trade to which their own ships were more adapted. Besides, Britain did not admit foreigners into her coasting trade. When the Navigation Laws were repealed, he said, that was a matter of great indif ference, because he believed very few foreign ships would come if admitted, finding, as a shipowner, his own profits less in the coasting trade than in the foreign trade. The manning of the navy, Mr. Wilson went on to say, was the great claim which shipowners set up that they might be protected —or encouraged, as the word now was—by Government. Now, he found that since the Navigation Laws were repealed there had been an increase of 50,000 in the men employed in their navy. So much for free trade. He did not think they would be able to find an increase of 50,020 men employed in the British navy in any other eight years. llow, he proceeded to ask, could Government encourage the shipping interest, how could they raise the freights one penny by any protection they could afford Before they could do that they must protect sufficient trade to employ the whole mercantile marine, for ships would go out of the protected trade where the profits were less into the protected trade where they were mono. Thus—a Sunderland shipowner who carried coals to France told him that a customer of his in Rouen who had ships of his own, and used to employ them in carrying his own coals, had now found it more profitable to employ those in the trade protected by the French Government, and have his coals brought in Sunderland bottoms. Before they could raise their freights by protection they must abandon all the trades where they had to compete unprotected with foreigners. In order to employ their present mercantile marine they must compete with foreigners —therefore he considered it was no use running any longer after the ghost of protection. He found from the returns for 1201 that there were 922,000 tons of British shipping entered inwards as compared with 780,000 tons from foreign ports. Is 1810 there were 1,760,000 tons of foreign shipping, and only 896,000 of British, and this was in the heyday of full pro tection. Mr. Wilson proceeded to say he had not known whether he would be permitted to speak at that meeting, as he had not subscribed to the so ciety ; but if the society would follow the advice of their two excellent members, and turn their atten tion to gutting off the burdens, which he considered the real thing that affected them, he would be ready to subscribe. The first thing was to make the society more popular. The untaxed foreigner was not the only party they had to compete with, they bad to compete with the untaxed railway, which had no passing tolls to pay, and he considered that the Shipowners' Society ought to turn their atten tion to getting these obnoxious imposts taken off. Then there was compulsory pilotage, and the timber duties, to which latter he did not think there was a parallel in point of inconsistency and injustice. He hoped the members of the society would exert them selves to their utmost to get off these burdens; and he believed they would find both their members anxious to aid and abet them in so doing. (Cheers.) Resolutions to extend the constitution of the Shipowners' Society having been agreed to, The SECRETARY next read a circular letter from the Shipowners' Society of London, intimating a great meeting to be held on Tuesday, the 29th inst., at the London Tavern, to petition Parliament in favour of an inquiry into the state of British navi gation, and requesting to b e i n f orme d w h e th er t h e Sunderland Society concurred in the course pro posed to be taken. In connection with this communication, the fol lowing resolution was laid before the meeting :- 6 , That it be an instruction to the committee to prepare petitions to both Houses of Parliament, to be presented as soon m Parliament shall reassemble, praying for a compre hensive, searching, and impartial inquiry into the actual condition of British navigation, and the causes that have led to its present disastrous depression, as well as into all the laws and regulations under which it is now conducted." Mr. DENNISTON said he certainly could have no objection to prepare petitions to the Legislature to make any inquiries respecting the depressed state of British shipping ; but in his mind the conviction was that it was Zscarcely necessary to make any further inquiries —that it was patent to everybody that British shipping was in a depressed and ruin ous condition. (Cheers.) It was patent even to those who were once free-traders. They could scarcely go to any seaport town in the kingdom without seeing the great mass of foreign shipping. There were parties in that town who were free traders once, but whose free trade in shipping mat ters was giving way, and who began to ask the question, is there no remedy for this ? A gentle man belonging to that town a little while ago hap pened to be in Bristol, and walking round the docks there with a friend, the first thing he saw was ship after ship foreign, foreign, foreign. He turned to his friend and said, " This is certainly astonishing," and the answer was—and from a party well conversant with the whole business—that for the last three or four years nearly all the im ports have been wade in foreign bottoms, and that British shipping was gradually receding from Bristol docks. And that was not an isolated case. What had taken place there had taken place elsewhere —at Sundirland,,Leith, Cardiff, and Hull ; British shipping, was most as suredly receding before the foreigner. The ques tion was—why should it be so ? and any ono who had given himself the trouble to understand the business would have no difficulty in coming to the conclusion that the repeal of the Navigation Laws was the sole or main cause of the present state of depression. (Cheers.) When those laws were re at the in s t ance o f t h ose e atu m re e ' asure, or rather the ship pwehaoledp,ertmheittLedegitshl owners, retained clauses whereby certain powers were given to the Government, should it be neces sary to act upon them ; in case it became apparent that it was certain ruin to the British shipowner to continue the operation of the repeal, Govern ment could, by an Order in Council, return to the status quo ; or if, after the invitations to foreign nations, by throwing open Brish trade these nation did not open their trade to them, it was competent for Government to do what would protect them. A shipowner standing on the dock side and seeing a waggon running into his ship would not hesitate to put his finger on the break. The Order in Coun cil was the break, and the Government the breaks man ; therefore his conviction was that the first thing to be done was to go to the Government. In quiry would postpone the question, and while the grass was growing the horse was starving. They wanted a thing that world come into operation almost immediately. Foreign nations were invited to reciprocity ; they had not granted it, because the British Government had not pressed it on them and the Legislature had been supine in the matter. The Americans had closed their coasting trade, which was thousands of miles long. Why ? Not because the British coasting trade was closed, but because it had never been fairly pressed home to them. Had the British Government used the power they had in their hands, they would now have been in the enjoyment of trades compara-' tively closed to then. What was taking place in the American lakes was a sample of what was taking place on the ocean. There were 1,442 vessels, with 387,000 tons, on the American side, while on the Canadian side there were only 187 ships, with a tonnage of 51,000. The reason was that the Ameri cans said to the Canadians, "You cannot go from American port to American port, that is reserved to us; you have been fools enough to open your side ; we can go from Canadian port to Canadian port and back again to American ports as it may suit us." The Canadian was like the British ship. owner, placed at a great disadvantage, and the result was that he got narrowed in his resources. He apprehended one of the reasons why the C9ll - of the society had been altered was that it might be more popular and have more powerful action on the. Legislature. There were Free-traders yet even in shipping; there were people who in time of war would be peace men; there were men who in words would tell them that armies were altogether unnecessary, that arming themselves was inviting somebody else to arm ; there were people who had strange enough notions, and there would be such people to the end of time. These might be put by as having no weight in questions like the present. Mr. Wilson had stated some facts respect ing protection and its operation. He said some French shipowner, who was also a manufacturer, and who had been in the habit of sending his ships to Sunderland for coals, had found it more profitable to put his vessels into the protected trade, and of course Mr. Wilson's deduction was, that there ceased to be any protection. Now, if that argument was good for anything at all—if protection was no protection, then he should give no opposition to their desire for it. But the French people and their Emperor know that it was protection, and they were nursing up a maritime powe r w hi c h wou ld startle some of them, and even Mr. Wilson, by and by. (Cheers.) Mr. Denniston went on to refer to statistics in support of his position. In the seven years pre vious to 1349, he said, they built a certain amount of tonnage, and in the seven years subsequent to the same date they built a certain amount of ton nage, and the difference between that tonnage was small compared to the great increase iu imports and exports, which in the former period amounted to about £200,000,000, and in the latter to no less than £335,000,000. But what had the foreigner been doing? In the first-named period his tonnage was about 3,000,000, but is the last it was close upon 7,000,000. They asked, were they fairly dealt with in being exposed to such a competition as that ? Mr. Denniston concluded by again urging the necessity for appealing to Government on the subject. The resolution was then put from the chair, and unanimously adopted. Mr. R. M. HUDSON moved : "That having reference to the active interest which has been always taken by the senior member for this borough in the shipping interest and trade of Sunderland, as well as to his pecuniary connexion therewith, it be an instruction to the committee to request Henry Fenwick, Esq., M.P., to accept the office of president of the society." Mr. NICHOLSON secon4ed the restitution, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. PEN RICK, M.P., in acknowledging the com pliment, said that if in any matter be could be of any service to them they might rely on every exertion in his power. I feel (he continued) you have acted a very wise part to-day in extending the basis of the Shipowners' Society. Every man must have felt in any business transactions with it that it was founded on somewhat of a narrow basis, that it took more especially one view of a subject, and therefore it naturally did not meet with that popu lar support to which many of its objects fully en titled it. Now, however, that the merchants, manu facturers, brokers, and others are invited to join, it will not be the representative exclusively of a particular interest in this town, but will represent the amalgamated interests of the town generally. I think, therefore, whenever its opinion is brought to bear on any subject, that opinion will be brought to beai with greater weight by far than it could have been while the society was in its former nar row position. In regard to the reciprocity ques tion, Mr. Fenwick expressed himself as follows : I may be permitted to say that I cordially concur in the resolution which has been passed to petition Parliament for a severe and impartial investigation into the present position of the shipping interest. A committee of the House of Commons will be for med, which will investigate the question in all its bearings. There will be persons on that commit tee representing not only the shipownins interest, but the free trading interests. The subject will undergo most careful investigation, and then we shall see where in reality the injury complained of exists. We shall then be told what are the remedies to be applied. For my own part I shall not venture to give any opinion further than this, that I have never been yet of that extreme opinion which some people have had—namely, that reciprocity was of no use ; for I have always thought that if you could get reciprocity it would be a most advantageous thing to the shipowner, and that it was our duty, so far as consistent with well recognised commercial principles, to insist on that reciprocity from other countries. Passing on to speak of the other bur dens to which British shipping was subjected, Mr. Fenwick again read, for the benefit of those who had recently entered the room, the letter given above, as read by the secretary. He then pro eeeded—The meaning of this letter is simply this :—He saw when in London that if something was not done immediately the next session of Parliament would be of no use to them. It was necessary that notices should be put in the newspapers in three weeks in November. The consequence was that he undertook that duty himself, employed a Parliamentary agent, and notices having been given, the shipowners in the north, if they were in earnest, wore in a position to go to Parliament for a bill in reference to passing tolls, and he Was willing to propose it. But how was this to be done ? They knew the old fable of Hercules and the peasant ; when the cart got into the rut, he prayed for assistance from Hercules, and the god of strength told the peasant to put his own shoulder to the wheel. That was the recommen dation he had to give to the shipowners of Sunder land. If a bill was introduced it must be by the instruction of the shipowners, and they must retain a Parliamentary agent—retain counsel, and have witnesses. They must do all 'this, for if they difl not no exertions on the part of their members or of Government could be of the slightest effect what ever. That was the position of the passing tolls, and the matter rested entirely in the hands of the shipowners. This was a question which not only affected the people of Sunderland, Seaham, Hartle pool, Stockton, the Tyne, and other northern ports. He suggested that they should have delegates and meetings in these different towns, and get the sinews of war for the purpose of carrying on the battle. If that was not done, no member or Govern ment would be of the slightest use. Mr. SPARK—Of course, the coalowners would be called upon to join. Mr. FENWICK—AII who were interested in it should joinin the movement. Mr. S. J. HOWE—Is the foreigner to have the advantage of the repeal of the passing tolls ? Mr. FEN WICK.—It is very little he will get. Mr. How E—l say, unless he reciprocates, let us be as we are. Mr. FENWICK regretted that his suggestion was to be met in that way. They were surely not determined to sit down like the peasant and let their cart lie in the rut all their lives, and to say that somebody else's cart would avoid the rut if they were taken out of it? He had reason to know that their exer tions would be seconded and assisted most strongly by most powerful parties; and therefore he asked them not to be drawn into a course that was im practicable, and forget a path which was alike practicable, and could be easily obtained ; but to I turn their attention to this really practicable sub ject. (Applause.) Mr. DENNISTON said the question on which Mr. Fenwick had been speaking was one on which the shipowners were divided. The abolition of the passing tolls would not be universally beneficial. What was the race now ? What is that which is pressing upon the shipowner in the local trade ? It was the screw colliers screwing him down. (Hear.) When a ship made 12 voyages, and the collier made 50, if they relieved it of their charges—which was 50 times repeated on the collier—they would make it. a greater competitor to the shipowner. It would be taking a load off his most powerful com petitor. The CHAIRMAN thought Mr. Denniston took a most limited view of the question. There was only a small passing toll to be paid at Whitby and Bridlington. The principal passing tolls the col liers did not pay. Mr. CANDLISH said he should like to ascertain the views of the meeting as to legislative action being taken on the subjects to which reference had been made, and the objections which had been taken by Mr. DenniOton and Mr. Howe to the course proposed by Mr. Fenwick. Their views seemed to be most dog-in-the-manger like—neither to eat themselves nor to allow anybody else to eat. The question which they had to ask themselves /1 /- .I.EWS PAPER Ott -I ,tl :1, , ,1 s, p li. ) .V . ,.. 01 .E)AGILE LAB A - 1 . . •ifrii ~.-_- --4 -. :4.• .5,/ • _ The urgency of the need of industriegaccutimbi for women is shown by the attempts that we see made to provide for two separate deficiencies by one movement and one effort. We see that the attempt to obtain employment for women of the middle, class, and to fit women for new employ• meats, is regarded and undertaken as one and the same thing. A society which purposes to help women to profitable employment proposes also to receive them into a school where they will learn how to serve is shone, and will be trained to book keeping and the duties required of clerkS, cashiers, and tickcf-officers at railway stations. There can be no objection to this under the circumstances. On the contrary, it is a sensible as well as benevolent scheme, as far as it goes; but it can go only a very short way. The educational need is the essential point in the case ; and till it is met there can Le no genuine establishment of women in a position:of independent industry. When , duly qualified, women, like men, are sure to be employed. To push them into employments before they are quali fied would, if it were possible, entail something worse than failure ; and to exclude them from occupation, when once properly qualified, would be • equally impossible; and therefore the way to pro vide for the "uneasy class" of women who are hungering in idleness is to give them an education which shall enable them to do something useful. It so happens that this class is precisely the ono which has the least justice in the way of training. The daughters of the aristocracy have at least the means of exercising their intellects, and their hands and eyes • they have a more or less liberal educa tion, and associate with cultivated people. The daughters of artisans and labourers are brought Up to earn their bread, and enjoy the personal distinc tion of becoming independent labourers, whose services have a special character and a certain. value. It has been well said that it is a great and memorable day in a poor boy's life when he first goes to work ; and it is a great and memorable day for the poor girl when she first goes to " a place," and thereby takes up a position in the world. The middle-eiass gist meantime, learns (only to forget) various desultory things at a school where no aim is set before her, .or generally speaking, is entertained by her teachers. She studies, in a manner, and then goes home to spend five years, or fifteen, or fifty, in occupations which are either desultory or monotonous, and of no avail in exercising her faculties or in obtaining in dependence. If she marries, her education has not done much towards preparing her for domestic life. If she is a good housewife, parent, and neighbour, it is rather in spite than in consequence of her educa tion. If she does not marry, her life is without aim, without ease, without hope, though she is actually wanted in the field of labour, and might, to the advantage of everybody concerned, gratify an honourable ambition of usefulness and independence. The evil of this state of things is so keenly felt that we witness on every hand some attempt to re medy it. There is No system, no uniformity, no theory involved in the efforts made ; and this is very well, because it precludes the danger of opposition, such as any cut-and-dried scheme would certainly encounter at the outset. The hard struggle that the Ladies' Colleges had to go through before they fully succeeded shows what the opposition wonld hare been to any suggestion of schools of a new quality, on the ground that they wsuld soon be wanted. As it is, there is little for prejudice to fasten on in what is actually done, because the school is in immediate reply to sonic special demand. What do we see actually done or set about in the way of practical education for the daughters of middle-class working fathers? It is observable that almost every one you ask knows of two, or three, or more attempts to teach girls something useful during school years. The number of utilitarian girls' schools must thus be considerable. The next census returns ought to be more precise than the last in regard to the pur suits of women, which would throw light on their education. Last time the three distinct classes of female authors, artists, and teachers were thrown into one. We must have them separate next time, and an account of the number at least of girls' schools. Meantime, ask the first sensible family man you meet, and he will tell you of somebody et- other who is interested in some school for teaching girls something more substantially useful than the ordi nary French, history, and music of girls' schools. Perhaps it is that a sensible woman has opened school for tradesmen's daughters, where the book teaching, the grammar, history and composition, is of a very substantial kind; and where a great point is made of the writing and arithmeti c an d p l a i n needlework—book-keeping perhaps being added, and a knowledge of -German or French directed chiefly to commercial uses. Girls well trained in this way may become clerks, secretaries, and foreign correspondents in commercial houses, if they should not marry, or during the years between school and marriage, so commonly spent in merely stunting the intellect and the characterin all directions. Perhaps we see a benevolent lady putting a respectable housekeeper and a trained schoolmistress into a house, and opening it to the daughters of shopkeepers, for a useful training on low terms—a good school education for a part of the day, and household train ing for the rest, a dinner cooked by themselves in tervening. The cutting out and making of clothes, the arts of cleanliness, cooking, and the purchase of provisions and laying out a table aro taught, as well as the most important and substantial exercises of the school-room. Perhaps such a school may be a • public one, the product of the good sense of a town instead of private benevolence. In that case the plan has often severe difficulties to struggle with, from the prejudices of those who may subscribe to it, or assume a right to interfere, and who cannot conceive of anything else than an ordinary school for poor children. They aro perpetually endeavour ing to lower the standard of instruction because the industrial training is associated in Qieir minds with " the labouring classes." They have not visited the Borough-road School, or other training schools, where they might see how a very high order of in tellectual training may coincide with a very utili tarian UV of the hands. In other quarters we see household arts more and more connected with the routine of National and British Schools, and classes of women formed at the Working Men's College; and evening schools for women and girls, where they may obtain instruction in special departments. In various ways, aid under all sorts of circumstances, efforts are made to break up the vacuity of the youth of middle-class woven. The special instruction just referred to is the other great requisite for the re trieval of the condition of destitute women. At pre sent, if a woman is generally well educated, she may yet be unfit for profitable occupations for want of special training or instruction. The deficiency will presently be supplied with regard to the arts of book-keeping, shopwaiting, and commercial business generally. There must be plenty of " writing masters,' clerks, and retired shopwomen who would gladly give instruction in their respec tive arts; and women may learn commerciel busi ness as they now learn dressmaking, by serving their time in an establishment where the know ledge is given in return for services. The difficulty is in regard to the higher employments. How is a woman to gain an education in art in this country ? Hundreds, it is true, maintain themselves by wood• engraving; and the practice of photography, in its various applications, will support hundreds more. But, beyond admission to our Schools of Design, women have no means of olztaining that training and discipline in drawing for the want of which they are reproached. They have a claim to admission to the Royal Academy; and the unrea sonableness of refusing it to them must soon come to an end. At present all facilities for medical study are refused to Englishwomen, though freely provided in other countries. We tolerate the quackeries and nonsense of women about diseases and remedies—ignorance and folly which cost many lives and an infinite amount of health— rather than admit any woman to a knowledge of medical science, such as would in time ren der the whole sex more rational as mothers and nurses. ~~~ ~~ C The case is, on the whole, very clear—that women, like men, find something to do, and the means of doing it, when they are qualified to do it. There is at present plenty of work to be done, and there are only too many women who would fain put their hands to it. The qualifying training is the deficient element. A sound utilitarian school course first, and means of special instruction for various vocations afterwards, would prevent, in the next generation, the compulsczy idleness, the fruitless toil, the burdensomeness, the poverty, hopelessness, induced disease, and premature death of thousands of our countrywomen. Their inte rests are now fairly recognised. We have given the view of the sensible and experienced among those who compassionate them as to how they may be best assisted. For many - of them it is too late ; but there is always another generation coming up, and they may be rendered a blessin g instead of a burd e n t o th e communi t y. —D ai l y News.
