His loss by her shameful conduct, he had no doubt was very great, for the rum had run all over th• cellar, oovering a large space of ground. On entering the kitchen he also found some more of the rum in a pint pot, which there was no doubt she had also taken. GREAT YARMOUTH. "If I have been instrumental in protnoting this reform in the commercial relations of the two coun tries, it has only been in the humble capacity of promoter to those who have fortunately possessed the power and the inclination to give effect to my suggestions. It was owing to the readi ness with which the EngliJi Government made its financial arrangements for the year subservient to the objects of the treaty, and to the enlightened appreciation of its important beatings by the Em peror of the French and his Ministers, together with the frank co-operation of Lord Cowley, that the negotiations were brought to a successful issue.

The case for the petitioners closed yesterday, and it was expected that, as the evidence had failed to prove treating on the part of the agents of Sir J. Graham and Mr. Lawson, the case would not go on; but Mr. Power, Q.C., for the sit ting member, this morning, said he thought it would be de sirable to proceed with the case. In his opening observations he remarked that the last election for Carlisle was perfectly pure, and the election auditor's statement bore out his as sertions, as it showed that the expenditure on the part of Sir J. Graham had been but £250, and Mr.. Lawson £243, and there was no pretext for sa)ing there were any out standing accounts. BUCKINGHAM PALACE, FEB. 22.

" 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 Spermatorrhcca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one Interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

(From the Morning Advertiser.) 1. The Budget is not a Free Trade Budget. Why ? Because it binds the country for ten years to an unequal • bargain. Because it admits French manufactures duty free into England, and subjects to a duty of 30 per cent. English manufactures going into France. Because, outraging sense and justice, it establishes a differential duty in favour of French shipping. The Budget is not a poor man's Budget. Why ? Because its essential principle is not to cheapen his food. Because, a peace:Budget, it lays a war tax upon his tea and sugar. • Because it makes coals cheap for the foreigner and makes them dear for him. Because it falsely says he wants work at a time when work is abundant. Because it pretends that it will give him work, and actually takes it away from him. Because it deprives his wife and daughter of much of the work they have. The Budget is not a Middle Class Budget. Why? Because dear sugar, tea, and coals, are as bad for that class as the working one. Because it is a sham to pretend that the Budget will materially cheapen its wine, kid gloves, French silks, jewels, and watches. Because it pays for the dear food and fuel it wants, and the luxuries it can't afford, by an income tax double what it was in 1858. Because the budget which doubles its income tax makes a still heavier income tax inevitable just because it is doubled. Tho budget is not a budget to set the finances in order. Why ? Bdtause it throws away two millions on the pre tence of a peace treaty, and expends three millions and a half more on armaments of war. Because it iniquitously creates a deficit to aggravate the income tax. Because the income tax actually aggravates the deficit created to aggravate it. The budget is rapt an English budget. Why ? Because its provisions are, from first to last, in the in terest of French commerce. Because it subsidises France to induce her to take from us the coal grid iron she wants. Because it guarantees a premium on French shipping, to injure the shipping of England. Because it signs a bond for French purposes to France, and binds England not to dare to lay a duty on the export of her own coals. Because it pays France, not only to compete with us in trade, but is be stronger for war with us. The budget is a isorieyocraey Manchester budget. Why ? Because it was made by Cobden, is backed by Bright, and is paid for by Manchester money. Because the paper-duty job in it throws away a million, to buy Bright's and other penny papers, and to cheapen Manchester packing. Because the Manchester cotton lords, coal-owners, iron masters, and greet traders, think they will gain by it. Because if the tariff of 30 per cent, should prove too heavy a weight on them, they can reduce the cost of production by reducing the workman's wages. Because, with no duties on imports in England, they can manufacture in France, Because capitalists deride patriotism, and capital has no country, and the first would strengthen France to the ruin of England, if they dreamt they could enrich themselves by ILY• The Budget is a Bonapatist Budget. Why? Because Bonaparte had domestic and foreign difficulties, and this Budget assists him in both. Because the Budget is for French interests, and will make him stronger in France. Because the Budget intentionally paralyses us to aid his designs in Europe. Because he incessantly augments his armaments, which the Budget helps to pay for. Because his prestige in Europe is raised by the spectacle of our imbecile and lickspittle subserviency. Because the Ministry that make it are proud to be his lackeys, and are too plainly his tools. These are the reasons why the House of Commons should throw the Budget out. and these are the reasons why the majority will probably carry it through. "What this French Budget will do for England yet re mains to be seen—what the people of England will do with its authors remains to be seen too. Unless all experience is false, and sense and foresight folly, our interests are jeo pardised, our honour stained, and ourselves and Europe endangered. If the probable results of this base transac • tion are permitted to be realised, those who contrived and those who consummate it will be damn'd by their dupes and history. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The complainant, a little woman, whose face was bruised in a terrible manner, and had one of her eyes closed, said that her husband kept a Dutch boarding-house for English and foreign seamen at No. 29, Albert-street, Shadwell, and put in a printed card to that effect. That morning at half past eight o'clock she was in want of money for housekeep ing purposes, and looked in her husband's pockets to ascertain what silver he had. Directly afterwards she went to the cupboard to cut some bread and butter for her child, on which her husband commenced abusing her, and said he would kill her for looking in his pockets. She said he was crazy again, and he then made a savage attack on her and beat her about the head, face, and body with his clenched fist and knocked her down. She bled a good deal from the nose and mouth, and became insensible. Mr. Selfe—Has he struck you before ? The witness sobbed loudly. All the recollections of for mer bad usage seemed to rush into her mind at once, and she exclaimed, in German, " Oh, yes, sir; yes, yes, he has beaten me and trampled upon me, and I have taken sum monses out against him and forgiven him, although my body has been covered with marks." The prisoner, in defence, said times were bad, and he could obtain no lodgers. His wife scolded him and made a noise. He told her to be quiet, and she came towards him with a knife, and he accordingly hit her. Mr. Selfe—Nonsense. You could not have accidentally hit her to have produced all those marks. 1.,00k at her face. She has been most savagely treated by you, and I believe your general conduct towards her has been very cruel. You are sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour for an aggravated assault. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT-GARDEN.

He did not know Clark. To the best of his recollection he had sever seen him before, and did not even know now who he was. ROSCOMMON. John Monson, hotel keeper, Boyle, wat piamined by Mr. Phinn to prove bribery on the.part of i& agents of Capt. Goff. On cross-examination he admitted that his house was taken by Mr. Tenison, but notwithstanding that he voted for Capt. Goff. The manager of the Boyle bank proved that £4,000 was lodged at that establishment a few days before the election to the account of Capt. Goff, and that only £22 of that sum remained there in 1859. THE ARMY. The following general order, dated Horse Guards, Feb. 23, was issued yesterday : " 1. His Royal Highness the General Command ing-in -Chief having had under consideration the present expenses necessarily incurred by officers of cavalry, and anxious to reduce them as far as prac ticable, has the satisfaction of announcing to the army that her Majesty the Queen has been pleased to approve of a reduction of the regulation prices for commissions in the cavalry of the line, which will accordingly for the future be as follows, viz : Lieutenant-Colonel Major Captain Lieutenant Cornet 450 „ 840 "The difference in value between the late and proposed regulation price of a cavalry commission will be paid to the retiring officer from the reserve fund at the disposal of the Secretary of State for War. " The price which an officer will pay on promo tion by purchase to the higher ranks will be — Major to be lieutenant-colonel £1,300 instead of £1,600 Captain to be major Lieutenant to be captain Cornet to be lieutenant 250 ~ 350 " 2. His Royal Highness also promulgates, in concurrence with Secretary of State for War, the following revised regulations regarding the pur chase of officers' chargers from the ranks, viz..— " Every officer of cavalry and Horse Artillery and of the Cape Mounted Riflemen below the rank of regimental field officer is permitted to select two horses as chargers from the ranks, with the excep tion of medical officers, veterinary surgeons, pay masters, and quartermasters, who may select one each, under the following conditions, viz.:— " First. The price to be paid will be the price allowed by regulation for the purchase of remounts " Second. When two or more officers are to select at the same time, the senior is to have first choice, but must not be permitted to choose a second horse until his juniors have each chosen one. Third. Officers will be required to pay the price of their chargers into the hands of the pay master within one week from the date of selection. " Fourth. In selecting officers' chargers from the ranks, the horses of all sergeant-majors and ser geants, which have been regularly ridden in the field as such, are to be exempt from choice. "Fifth. Officers will not be permitted to use their first chargers, when selected from the ranks or re mounts, for hunting or for harness; but this re- striction is not intended to apply to second chargers so selected. "Sixth. Officers will not be permitted to part with the horses selected from the ranks or from the re mounts to any one except an officer of the same corps without the sanction of the Commander-in- Chief, obtained through the commanding officer; and when permission is given to sell such horses they must be replaced at the officer's own cost, in the usual manner, by private purchase. " Seventh. Selected chargers may be exchanged be- tween officers of the same corps with the sanction of the commanding officer; and, after their full price has been paid to the paymaster, may be sold to any officer of the same corps entitled to a choice—the purchase to stand in the place of a selection, and the seller to be entitled to another choice. " Eighth. Except in the case of sale to an officer of the same corps, as provided for in clause 7, no officer will be allowed to replace a charger taken from the ranks or remounts by a fresh selection, unless the charger previously selected has died, been killed in action, been captured or lost, or been shot at the recommendation of a board for infec tious disease, or is reported unfit for further ser vice through age, vice, disease, permanent unsound ness, or any other cause which may, in the opinion of an inspecting general officer, justify the rejec tion of sash horse as a charger, in which case he will be returned to the ranks to be cast and sold. " Ninth. Officers who select chargers from the ranks or from the remounts must in all cases pay the usual fee for the breaking of horses to the rid ing -master. " It is to be clearly understood, that in the se lection of chargers, officers are. not restricted in their choice to the remounts — i.e , young horses not yet fit for the ranks ; but are free to choose, subject to the condi tions and exceptions above spe cified, from all the horses on the effective strength of the regiment; and his Royal Highness the Ge neral Commanding-in-Chief desires that eemmand leg officers of cavalry regiments will faithfully and thoroughly carry out the liberal intenti ons o f thi s order, by giving every facility to officers for making a free and proper selection. "3. The General Commanding-in- Chief is further pleased to approve of each officer of a regiment of cavalry being allowed two soldiers to attend him and groom his horses, employed for regimental purposes, when present in quarters, or absent on duty. " One of these batmen is to be held available for mounted parades, when, owing to the absence or want of men, there may be unappropriated horses. "By order of his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief. " G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General." The authorities at the Horse Guards, having takeninto consideration the frequent cases of de sertion in the army, and the repeated offence of re-enlistment induced by the temptation of the Government bounty, have resolved on the following regulations, which were made known last night in garrison orders at Woolwich, namely : —That the practice of conferring a sum of money on enlistment by way of Royal bounty shall be abo lished ; that the recruit shall be provided with a thorough outfit, as heretofore, and shall be entered as of the first class on joining the reserves. If at the termination of the first period of three years they are returned as "of good behaviour," they will be rewarded with a badge entitling them to an addition of ld. per day above the ordinary pay, and, as a further inducement, at the expiration of each succeeding three years the same rewards will be conferred, so that during a service of 21 years a well-behaved man will be entitled to seven badges and a pay of 2s. 21d. per day.

Yesterday afternoon, upon making inquiry at Tottenham, the reporter was informed that the two unfortunate gentlemen, named Mansell, who are lying at the White Hart Inn, are progressing favourably. The elder brother, Mr. Walter Man sell, a malster of Hoddesdon, who had his left leg; amputated, is the most injured, but , hopes are en tertainell of his ultimate recovery. Mr. Wiliam Casband, a gentleman who is lying at Seyd's Hotel, Finsbury, is also going on well under the care of Dr. Godfrey. His injuries are very complicated, but he is not in imminent danger. A telegraphic message was received last evening from Cambridge, to the effect that Professor Elli cott, of King's College, was going on as well as could be expected. There are several other cases of persons being injured, but the chief portion of them have been removed to their respective homes. At the close of the inquest on Wednesday night, the coroner (Mr. John Humphreys) gave instruc tions to Mr. Fowler, the summoning officer, to have the defective wheellbcked up in a place of security until the next meeting of the jury, when a scientific gentleman would be in attendance to make a pro per examination of it. - Mr. Sergeant Ballantine has been retained on the part of the Eastern Counties Railway Company to watch the case, and a number of witnesses have been summoned for the adjourned inquest on Thurs day morning next. A large number of persons have been down to the scene of the calamity to inspect the spot, and various rumours are in circulation respecting the cause of the unfortunate accident, but the facts will be elicited at the adjourned inquest. The whole of the wreck of the carriages and the engine has been removed from the side of the line, and the traffic is going on as usual. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

SEYMOUR.—Yesterday were published the papers moved for by Sir Michael Sey mour in the House of Commons touching the personal ques- tion between him and the Earl of Elgin Which was last night, not for the that time, noticed in Parliament. The general nature of Lord Elgin's complaints is well known. They are set forth in these despatches with considerable asperity, hat in a note addressed by order of the Lords of the Admiralty to the Foreign-office, they aro declared to be groundless. The admiral denies that the ambassador had acquainted him in time with the policy he is charged with not supporting. He charges Lord Elgin with taken his ships unnecessarily from under his orders, and with want of candour and fairness in his despatches on the subject. On several other questions the plenipotentiary and admiral are at issue as to the facts. THE PRINCE OF ORANGE IN LIVERPOOL—His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange arrived in Liverpool on Thursday night, after a brief tour in Wales. He was received at the Birkenhead Railway station by Mr. May, the Netherlands consul in Liverpool, and Mr. John Laird, of the eminent shipbuilding firm, Woodside. At the in vitation of the latter gentleman, the Prince, attended by his suite and by Mr. May, proceeded to Mr. Laird's works, whore he inspected the splendid steamship Ulster, which is building for the improved postal and passanger accommo dation between England and Ireland by Holyhead, and which is to be launched to-day (Saturday). His r.royal Highness then visited tho forge, and witnessed the processes of preparing iron plates, &c., for the ships building in the yard, the various ships, the workshops, the modelling roam (in which he spent a considerable time), and the many other objects of interest which the extensive premises of the Messrs. Laird present. THE REFORM BILL.—It will be seen from our Parliamentary report that Lord John Russell last night-an nounced that the Reform Bill will be brought forward on Thursday next. THE BALLOT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—We are authorised to state that Lord Teynham has fixed Thurs- day, March 15, to bring before the house of Lords a resolu tion affirming the necessity of the ballot at elections. We invoke the efforts of our friends in the provinces to support the noble lord by petitions, and, where possible, by request ing the attendance of peers friendly to the measure. DOUBLE SUICIDE.—An extraordinary case of double suicide occurred on Tuesday night at Easton, a small village near Huntingdon. An aged couple named Saddington, both upwards of 7 0 years of age, who had lived many years in the village, were found drowned in a pond opposite their cottage, having nothing on but their night dresses. The policeman of the village, being on duty about eleven o'clock, heard a scream, and with another man pro ceeded in the direction, but were some time before they could discover anything ; they, however, succeeded at last in find , ing the man in the pond, and after further search discovered the woman ; both were quite dead. An inquest was held the foil owing morn ing betere Mr. Mellor, coroner, when it was stated that the deesased had been on the previous Saturday to the guardians of Huntingdon for relief, which, it is be lieved, was refused out of the house, but were told they might go into the union. This, it is supposed, preyed so much upon their minds as to cause them to commit-suicide. It appears it was a premeditated act, as on the previous day they had disposed of their few articles of furniture, and Raid off some debts owing in the village. The coroner having summe d up, the jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned."—Stamford Mercury. O n Wednes- SUICIDE OF CAPTAIN HARFORD. day last an inquest was held at BraY, near Windsor, by tain Frederick Paul Harford, late of the Scots Fusilier Mr. Rupert Clarke, coroner for Berks, on the body of Cap.

Fuad Pacha is plunged into the greatest affliction by this event. The Madrid journals of the 19th contains no • political news, and all they say on the subject of the war is that the commander-in-chief of the army had sent an expedition along the coast in the ' direction of the Riff, and that it was to be accom panied by some vessels ; also, that the Momish troops which evacuated Tetuan had committed frightful excesses at Aloazar, a town situated mid i way between Tetuan and Fez.
