The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'afert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

Ti'n condeinn4tion of Francesco iNtidi , ai and Ito -0, his wife, to upwards of four years of brutal and infamous punishment in the prisons of forced labour of Vol terra and the E-gastolo, or female galleys, at Lucca, for the offence of possessing and reading the Holy Scriptures and the English Book of Common Prayer, i-, justly resented as en indignity to the faith of every Protestant nation, and en outrage on humanity and religion itself. This monstrous sentence , which was first pronounced.by th e C o rt e itegia of Florence, on time 4th June, after a preliminary detention of ten months in the common gaol or that city, has since been confirmed by the Court of Cassai,ion ; and we are compelled, with great regret, to add, that although the circumstances of the case and several direct appeals for clemency and toleration, made by some of the most illustrious personages' in Europe, have brought this case under the distinct personal know ledge of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, that Prince adheres with the implacable bigotry of a fanatic to a sentence that degrades himself far more than it can injure the victims of this cruelty, since it gives fresh force and truth to the worst charges ever brought against the authority he represents and the Church to which he belongs. The King of Prussia, with a most honourable zeal in the defence of Protestant Christians, has made. !Arcing and direct appeals to the sentiments. , ol'kjustice.and self-respect he might have - expected to find, even in an Italian Sovereign, but he has failed to obtain any remission of this iniquitous sentence ; and we have reason to be lieve that the interest felt in this case by the most illustrious personages in this country has not been less forcibly and cordially expressed, though with no better effect. M. Von Usedorn, the Prussian Minister at Rome, has been instructed to repair to Florence to support the remonstrances of the Protestants, though by a singular perversion of the appropriate functions of a British Minister, it is at this very time, and pending this important discus sion, that Sir Henry Bulwer, instead of being at his post in Florence, has been suffered or ordered by Lord Malmesbury to prolong his abortive and dis creditable mission to Rome. All the other Protestant Governments have joined with alacrity in a common protest against the application of penal laws and fero cious punishments to the faith of the Bible. Holland has taken a warm interest in the cause; the Protest ants of France, Switzerland, and Southern Germany have joined the deputation about to proceed to Tus cany, at the head of which Lord Roden, Lord Cavan, and Captain Trotter will personally attend on behalf of a society called the Protestant Alliance. We hope for the sake of. the Madiais that these exertions will not be made in vain, and that they will be released from their very undeserved sufferings; but as this concession will, after all, be extorted from the Tuscan Government on the ground of mercy rather than of justice, we must assume that the authorities of that country do profess the ancient and execrable maxims of the Romish Church for the so-called extirpation of heresy by inquisitorial powers and by penal severi ties, for we find that as the influence of Rome has become supreme and absolute over the mind of the Grand Duke, he has sanctioned acts of vindictive per secution such as Rome herself would, a few years ago, have scarcely dared to avow. The law under which the Madiais have been con victed, is one of the Leopoldine enactments of 1786, which provided, by its 60th article, that— " Whosoever, with impious -designs, dares to profane the divine mysteries, disturbing the sacred functions with violence, or otherwise committing public impiety, and whosoever publicly teaches maxims contrary to our holy Catholic religion, towards which we have always nourished, and will always maintain constant our love and zeal, we will that, as a disturber of the order upon which society is maintained in tranquillity, and as an enemy to society itself, he shall be punished with the greatest and moat exemplary rigour, nor ever with a less penalty than public forced labour, for a term or for fe.:accortiing to the circumstances of the case." Vague as the language of this statute is, it would seem utterly impossible to bring the case of the Ma diais within reach of it, even if all the counts of the accusation were proved against them. They could be charged with no profanity, no violence, or public impiety, not even with public teaching. The use of the Holy Scriptures, and especially the possession of an English Prayer-book, in which were found the Thirty-nine Articles of our Cnurch, condemning pur gatory and the worship of images as foolish inven tions, were the real offence. For not even any acts of proselytism were established—if, indeed, such acts could reasonably be attributed to two persons of slight education and in so humble a station—the one having been a travelling courier, and the other a maid-servant. But the value to be put upon the accu racy and information of the Tuscan Attorney- General, one Bicchierai, may be inferred from the fact that he coolly assured the Court that " every one knew the Bible Society to have been instituted in France, in 1792, after the extravagances of the fana tic Johanne Souchott" (sic for Southcote)—an asser tion in which we hardly know whether most to ad mire the extravagance of attributing a passion for the diffusion of Christian knowledge to France under the Convention, or the connexion existing in the legal mind of Tuscany between the Word of God and the ravings of Johanna Southcote. Such an advocate was extremely well qualified to contend—as he in fact did—that penal justice must hasten to the defence and protection of Catholicism, not so much for the sake of infallible truth as for the preservation of the State itself; and with equal propriety he quoted laws of Theodosius and Valentinian to the effect, that " it is good to punish by death and confiscation of property him who, by service, persuasion, or advice, has passed from the worship of the Christian religion to any of those in famous sects or rites." Such are the legal advisers of the Tuscan Crown ; and if their reasoning is worth anything, they are bound to proceed to the last extre mities for the extirpation of heresy; for there is no act of barbarity for which their bigotry would not find an excuse. We had hitherto supposed the Grand Duke of Tus cany to be a well-intentioned though weak man; but his weakness is such that his trials and his supersti tion have turned him into a bad one. These foolish and wicked persecutions are the result of fear ; but, if we are not mistaken, they will have the effect of augmenting one hundredfold the danger they are designed to avert. The trial of the Madiais has re vealed to Europe the existence in Italy, even among persons of a humble station, and far more in a higher rank, of an amount of Protestant conviction and evangelical constancy under heavy sufferings, of which little was hitherto known. The Attorney- General of Tuscany himself assures us that "the work most hidden, though extensive, is that of the heterodox sect called the Evangelical Confession, or of the Pure Gospel ;" in other words, Protestant Chris tianity, which " is well known to be much extended in Florence and in other towns, as well as in the country." We rejoice to hear it. We rejoice to think that Italy is not eternally condemned to the sterile choice between French atheism and Romish superstition ; and that beneath the load of foreign oppression and indigen ous bigotry, a spark is kindled which may yet bode well for the immortal cause of Christianity and free dom. The persecution of the Madiais has rendered the existence of these opinions in Italy a matter of interest to thouiands who had never thought upon the subject; and it will serve to show our persecuted fellow-Christians who worship in secresy and fear in those lands, that, although they may be anathematized by Rome, they are placed in communion with several of the freest and most religious nations of the earth. Lord Roden will not, we presume, be mistaken by by the authorities of Tuscany for a demagogue, or even a Whig ; but be takes with him on this mission the cordial interest of the British public in a just cause, and if he fails, we shall know with what rigour the Roman Catholic Church still exacts its victims and its sacrifices from those Princes who are abject enough to be the slaves of its power. in your f ron t, f ac i ng you i n d ec l are d wa rfare.

The Tractarian party seems to have lately studied with some succes s the tactics of the man whose gun rnment, witho u t a l lowing was " f amous for shooting round a corner. " They have m anaged to inflict a serious damage on the Gove visible for themselves to become a singl e moment. A conspiracy more skilfully pl anned, or more adroitly carried out, is scarcely to be f ound in the annals of faction. How ever, we now begin to comprehend the whole manoeuvre, and the moment the scheme is under stood, it ceases to be dangerous. All who are acquainted with the newspaper press of London know well, that, from March last down Ito the present moment, there has been no more bitter opponent of the present Administration than the ilforning Chronicle, the organ of the Traaßrigui party. Ceaseless, and overflowing with malice, have been its attacks. But within the last fortnight those attacks have somewhat subsided, and especially has silence been kept, a s muc h as poss ible, on the subject respecting which the m anoeuvre in question was to operate. It was essential to the success of the scheme that it should not b 2 known - to come from that part of the field of battle. c About a fortnight ego, th e OM to which we allude brTan to come into operation. C4rtain persons of quiet, relk ctable character, and not of Tractarien views, were privately inform e d, a s a great secret that Lord Derby had given a pledge, or something like it, that if Convocation formally asked permission to sit for the transaction of business, he should think it his duty to advise the Queen to grant it. These state ments were made so confidently, so Isecretly, and by persons of such station, that ,the tecipients of the news could not fur a moment doubt that the news was unquestionably true. We could, if necessary, give the names of parties in high public Offices, who felt the fullest conviction of the truth of these statements. We have had no personal knowledge;of the Primate's views or expectations, but we quite believe, from vari ous things which have come to our ears, that his Grace himself was one of the parties ,who gave cre dence to these reports. In a day or two the alarm reached e daily papers. One journal, which is not withhel .py party con nexions, from publishing any rumou which. reaches it, at once gave currency to the re t. , We our- . selves were precluded from doing s by a feeling that the statement weuld be very injut Ous to the Go vernment, and that it was in all proby„hility destitute of truth. Three or four days elapsed, and tke i jimes, uneasy at being behindhand in so important a matter, began to inquire into the truth of the statement; and so well had the conspirators * laid their plans, that the Times, when seeking after the facts, was met by a confirmation of the story. Fairly taken in, it came out at last, several days after the first report bad been given in other journals, with a full and entire confir mation of the story I We now solicit particular attention to the next fact in the case—a fact in which design, and that an in sidious design, becomes clearly manifest. The Morning Chronicle, as th e Tr actarian daily organ, and the leading j ourna l o f the Convocation party, was eagerly looked to d a y b y day, to see how it would deal with the question. It friends took the most lively interest in the matter; two or three other journals were giving currency to the rumours every morning or evening. " What," every one was ask ing, " did the Chronicle say ?" The Chronicle, day after day, said nothing at all. This was strange ; but the meaning of it is now clear. The object of this silence was—not to say a word until the Times, Globe, and Daily News shiouldonfidrat have swallowed the bait. Accordingly, on the Times came out with a fier ce ar ticle against Con vocation,aY and against Lord Derby for grantin g it ; and then the silence of t he Chron icle was at onee broken. And what did it say ? It accepted and endorsed the report. It said : "In well informed quarters it has for some little time been tolerably well understoo d, t hat Lord Derby is pre pared to advise , o r has alread y advised, the Crown to i s sue its licence to th e new C onvoca t i on to resume its synodical functions. We have long been in possession of the report," &C. Wa3 such an avowal ever before made by a news paper ? Here is a journal'which coolly tells its readers that it has " long been in possession of a report" of the greatest possible importance; which report it carefully concealed! Can any one guess why ? A fact of greater moment could not easily be imagined, yet a journalist quietly informs his readers that he has long had it in his possession, but has chosen to keep it to himself! A goad reason for such suppression fact is uppress, ishaiotnt this singular not to n b g eC a eived. The admission " lets the cat out of the bag." The Chronicle assures us that it has "long been in possession of the report." We have not the least doubt of it. If the Chronicle had even claimed to have been ebarrpi fabricated e e dd n a t y 1 hi when geiatw t: the eie w ei t h o 1 a story was first concocted and sent abroad, we should The whole " h"st o o r r y y . warn their own • D'ull I. l ' not have questioned the fact. , n i. o sgt t ooor t d o , and t Themt h y err s y t r e ta r oe y o ; ka ' r i ic s aan n r now ep w ta or a t P : bg e al fi k r T :t or to it. spr l :drig it'ik.t truth of it.

A DVERTISER.—Mr. Hume and political con sistency are synonymous terms. We said us much yesterday : we repeat it to-day. And so we should, were it necessary to-morrow, and every succeeding day till th e end of the chapter. But though the Member for Montrose is u very model of consistency, and though no one ever questioned his thorough in- tegrity, he is liable to adopt a wrong coarse, because he is accessible to persons who are not equally honest with himself. Mr. Hume is often deceived by parties who have their own private ends to serve. He does not see what they are driving at : he . • Pvds not the objects which they have in view. The letter of the honourable gentleman, which ap peared in our paper yesterday,. may with great pro priety be referred to as a case in point. • That com munication was not a spontaneous emanation from Mr. Hume's own mind. Had he been left to himself he would never have penned that productio n . It i s his only i n a mechanical sense. No one can have any difficulty in affili a ti n g the letter. Thou g h it is dated Bromley Hall, it was not born in that latitude. The place of its accouchement is nearer home. Speak ing of it parochially, we should say it would not be difficult to establish its claim to a settlement in the very centre of the metropolis—in a place called Char ing -cross. And as that is in reality the place wher e this pro duction, with the name of Mr. Hume attached to it, was ushered into existence, so the parentage of the epistle can be traced to the association to which the letter refers, as having a local habitation and a name in that part of our vast metropolis. Not that we suppose the letter was actually written there, but that the inspiration came from that quarter. Let any one put the question to Mr. Hume, whether the produc tion referred to was the result of some Movement of his own mind, and he will frankly answer that it was not. He is too honest to say that it was a:spontaneous emanation from himself. Ask him again, whether he Was not moved to the writing of the letter by parties who are prominently connected with the Financial and Parliamentary Reform Association, and he will candidly answer that he was. Though bearing his name, the letter is, indeed, a sort of manifesto from that body. .1i d should any one deem it necessary to answer the document, it ought to be dealt with throughout as an exposition of the views of th a t bode—it body that can b e ca lled which only cowsists, if we are rightly informed, of a president, a secretary, and a clerk. There is one fact stated in alp letter to which Mr. Hume has adhibited his name, which, of itself, if we had no other evidence on the subject, would have sufficed to satisfy us that it was in reality of Charing cross manufacture. Mr. Hume informs us that the Financial and Parliamentary Reform Association has 290 branches in the provinces. Now, we will venture to affirm, that a fortnight before writing his letter, he had not the remotest idea of what number of branches this Association could boast of as being under its protecting care. We will go farther, and assert that there is not a person in the country, except the president, the secretary, or the clerk aforesaid, who could, before the appearance of Mr. Hume's letter, have answered the question as to how many branch associations belonged to it. The public, who never before heard of this large family of branch associattous, must now be lost in wonder at what sort of things they can be, and how they could have been spending their time since they were ushered into being. As we have never heard of any thing they have said or done, there is a dramatic unity between them and the parent establishment at Charing. cross. As the old bird sings, says the pro • verb, the young bird learns. As the parent Associa • Lion in London has done nothing for the cause of Parliamentary Reform, there is a poetic fitness in the provincial branches spending their days and hours in idleness also. They but follow the example of their parent. They are appropriate chips of the old block. " Do as I do," says the Charing-cross Association, addressing itself to its numerous progeny in the provinces. Like obedient children, they follow their parent's advice ; and the result is, that nothing is done at all. " William, what are you doing down there?" "Nothing, Sir." " And, Tom, what are you about ?" "Helping 'William, Sir." " Parent Parliamentary Reform Association at Charing-cross, what are you doing in the cause of financial or representative re form ?" "Nothing at all." "And what are you, the branch Associations in the country, about ?" " lielping the paient Association in the metropolis !" This is the way, is it not, to get the work of reform done ? Mr. HUME at least would make us believe that it is so, for he, in the unsuspecting simplicity of his soul, is made to eulogise the Charing-cross Asso ciation and its branches in the provinces. We have, perhaps, a better right to speak unre servedly of this Association than any other journal, because in the earlier periods of its existence we gave it a more liberal support than any of our contempora ries. We did ss in the hope that it would make an impression on the public mind, and prove an efficient organization for the promotion of those reforms which it is proposed to accomplish. It has proved a dead failure. That is patent to all, —too manifest to be denied by even the President or the Secretary. It has not made itself felt either in the metropolis . or the provinces. We do not blame the originators of the Association for this. Its want of success may not be their fault. We all know it is not in mortals to com mand success. But now that the movement is so notoriously and signally a failure, it would be suicidal for the party of progress, any longer to trust to what it can accom plish. Still we should have spoken of its want of success with regret, and paid a tribute of respect to its memory--for there is no use in denying that it is virtually defunct, had the triumvirate of which the Association now consists, not gone out of their way to interpose every possible obstacle to the contemplated movement in favour of the Ballot. Their conduct, in endeavouring to prevent an agi tation in favour of the Ballot singly, affords a fresh illustration of the old maxim—that there are some people who will neither do a particular thing them selves, nor allow any ote else to do it. The Ballot was one of the great " points" in the movement con templated by the Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association, and if they had been sincere in their professions of attachment to the cause of secret voting, they would, instead of opposing the intended move ment in favour of the Ballot, have given it their heartiest support. But on this aspect of the matter we shall, probably, have a few more words to say on a future occasion. TIDIES.--A paper on "Railway Accidents, their Cause, and Means of Prevention," drawn up from large personal experience, carefully framed and read by a civil engineer before a professional meeting of his brethren, ought to be both an interesting and in structive document. The two conditions indeed are fulfilled in some respects by the specimen we publish elsewhere, but not exactly in the sense designed by Captain Mark Huish, its author. The name of this gentleman, as connected with the London and North- Western Railway, wil - be unfamiliar to the pub lic, and, though perha'. • evidence of so interested a witness may be th. t hT:, require some corrective from tl other side, i undoubtedly desirable that railway companies shou I:be permitted to state their own case in their own turif:' Omitting, therefore, for the present, all consideration of Captain Huish's general views, we turn to his , analytical estimate of railway accidents as they actually occur. The railroad itself, or, as it is technically called, " the permanent way," is very properly made the first subject of the Captain's attention. On this point he remarks, that while the weight, speed, and frequency of trains have on most lines been materially increased, the quality of the rails supplied by manufacturers has heed rapidly deteriorating, insomuch that one com pany has taken the resolution of manufacturing these supplies for itself. The augmentation of traffic, too, has naturally induced an increase of " siding" ac commodation, involving a proportionate multiplication of points and crossing—those fertile sources of risk. Some idea may be formed of the changes in this respect from the fact that the increase of siding during the last few years on the London and North-Western alone amounts, in the aggregate, to no less than 53 miles. Altogether, however, Captain Huish observes, that the casualties directly attributable to the state of "the way" are fewer than from any other cause, and contribute, indeed, but a scanty quota to the great total of railway accidents. This, as far as it goes, is, no doubt, correct; but there may possibly be more of the truth behind. Of late, as we remarked the other day, accidents have once or twice been re presented as wholly inexplicable; and it may be a question whether some of these insoluble problems do not depend on the condition of the road. We are not without.a suspicion that they do, and in this case the permanent way may have somewhat more to answerfor. From the road Captain Huish passes naturally to ' the engine; and gives an analysis of no fewer than 1,000 cases of locomotive failures which occurred in a stock of 587 engines on the London and North- Western Railway and its tributaries. In this table the fractures of various parts of various engines are detailed and classified with the utmost minuteness, and probably with equal accuracy, but the particular point of present interest to the public is left without any notice whatever. No doubt, it will be useful to the mechanist to learn that " tubes," " springs," "spindles," "pumps," and "pistons," are more fran gible than all the other organs of a locomotive taken together; and the fact that only one casualty out of the whole 1,000 was due to a " burst boiler" is cer tainly of some general interest. But the true ques tion, is, how many of these thousand failures origi nated in the defective character of the stock and management, in the employment of inferior, worn, or unserviceable engines, and in the attempt to perform more work with less means ? For instance, the Captain's table sets down five casulties to "detached ash-pans." Now, we know that a failure of this description the other day produced a fatal accident, and that opinions were expressed very strongly to the effect that the occurrence was due to a rotten condition of the whole machine ascertainable beforehand. Now, of the five tabu lated examples, how many might have been traceable to very similar causes ? Of course, the reader will understand that the 1,000 " failures " here spoken of were not all attended with " railway accidents " in the common sense of the word, but all probably involved such liabilities. In respect of carriages, Captain found more to say than that the companies have as yet of Huish has little it impracticable to provide any method or and t systemhe communication between the Passengersa n the en gine -driver, but he enlarges very seriously results o f " inattention to signals ' and " neglect of , regularity."

A "momentary forgetfulness, or are no doubt „ fraught with all the tr e • inendous consequences described by Captain Huish, but nothing is so likely to make neglect or forgetful ness probable as overwork , excessive duty, or general confusion. The true question here is, h ow muc h o f t h es e "consequences" was due to the defalcation of the servant, and how much to the arrangements of his employers ? As to punctuality in the times of trains, Captain Huish is a perfectly audacious free thinker. " The press," he says, and "public opinion, as expressed through a jury whenever an accident occurs, generally seize on this point as the primary cause of the mishap, whereas not o n ly d oe s he con sider this stress as unduly laid, since, " with a well regulated system of si gna l s , an d a we ll-di s ciplined s taff, the greatest irregularity, w h a t ever i n convenience it may produce, ought not to lead to danger ;" but he opines that, " to a certain extent, the very uncertainty of the passage of the trains produces safety, by the . continual vigilance it necessitates ; and as few acci- dents occur in the most busy thoroughfare in Lon don, so the most crowded parts of a railway exhibit the greatest freedom from casualty." This theory of the operation of a "well plined staff," and " well-regulated signals" is, doubt less, very beautiful ; but, unfortunately, it is theory only, and it is hard that Captain Huish should forget at this point alone that notorious fallibility of human nature on which he hsd so carefully insisted before. With perfect discipline and perfact regulations, per haps trains might run eccentrically without any great danger ; but, as the regulations and disnipline actually prevailing, even on the London and North-Western, are considerably short of the perfection thus contem plated, it is not a bad practical notion to avoid as much risk as possible by keeping things to their time. From what we have said, it will be plain enough that Captain finish addressed the Institution of Civil Engineers loss as an independent niembiir of this so ciety than as a railway rnanageracourse with which we have no desire to quarrel. But in pleading for his particular clients and in censuring the want of "consideration and sympathy exhibited either by the public or the press during the difficulties under which the railways of Great Britain have struggled into their present position," Captain Huish has almost exceeded even the licence of a professional advocate. The difficulties alluded to were of the companies' own making, and, even if they were not, they would constitute no excuse whatever for their present proceedings. Very likely, railway travelling is still safer than any other, though we do not remember any other which actually suggested a system of private life assurance ; but this is wholly beside the mark. The gist of the public complaint is not that railway travelling is short of perfection, but :that it is less perfect than it pl a inly might be; and, what is more, less perfect than it actually was—the deterioration being visibly trace able to the deliberate doings of the campanies them selves. Captain Huish, when he read his paper, had not had the advantage which the public has since enjoyed of perusing the report of the Government Commissioner on this subject, a document which, it will not be forgotten, proved that while railway traf fic and railway receipts had been largely augmented, the proportion of railway servants had been reduced, and the number of railway accidents increased. From a result like this the "fallibility of human nature" supplies no appeal. The case is perfectly clear, not only from these broad statistics, but from constant experience, that railway companies have been disre garding the convenience and safety of their passen gers for the sake of their own profits, and it is this highly natural but insufferable tendency for which some effective check is now required. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN. The following circular has just been distributed : " Secretary's-office, Euston Station, London, Oct. 20, 1852. TO THE PROPRIETORS OF THE LONDON AND NORTH- WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. "Experience has satisfied the directors of the London and North-Western and Midland Companies that it would conduce to the stability of the undertakings, and to the convenience and advantage of the public if the co-operation (based on an identity:of interest) which has subsisted for some years in working the two under takings, were rendered more complete and permanent ; and they have determined, therefore, by an unanimous resolution of each board, to recommend for adoption by their respective proprietors an agreement to apply to Parliament for a bill to amalgamate the companies, on terms to be settled by referees of high standing. The directors are led to recommend this course from a conviction that by such means alone can they obtain the fall advantages to be derived from the existing arrangements or secure with cer tainty an uninterrupted continuation of that cordial co operation in the working of the two undertakings which is essential to the welfare of the proprietors, and to the interests of the public. In addition to the special rea sons in favour of an amalgamation of these two compa nies, experience is daily proving, beyond all question, that a state of hostile rivalry between railway companies leads, of necessity, to great and general inconvenience, and to a needless and wasteful expenditure in the con duct of the traffic common to both, without any corre sponding advantage to the public ; and leads also to the outlay, year by year, of large amounts of capital in the construction of duplicate lines and stations, instead of being devoted, tis the interests of the country dictate, to the wants of towns and districts still devoid of railway facilities. The directors trust that you will be able to attend personally tho general meeting on the 33 No vember • if. however, you are unable to do so, and should desire to be represented by proxy, you may ob tain the necessary form on application to this office.— By order, " CHAS, E. STEWART, Seervory." Resolutions intended to be submittfid tor adoption at he General Meeting, called for November 3, 1352: " Resolved—That it is expedient to vit3et a perma nent union of interest between the London and North- Western and Midland Railway Companies, and to amal gamate the undertakings on the following terms, viz.:— That the relative values of th e t wo undertakings be ascertained and fixed by three referees of high standing; that their decision be given after the passing of the act of amalgamation : but in case the first application to Parliament fails, further application shall be made in the following and ensuing session, and it shall be competent for either company to call upon the referees to fix the relative value of the two undertakings ; such values to be in any case fixed after 31st December, 1853." " Resolved—That the directors be accordingly autho rized to introduce and prosecute, in the ensuing session of Parliament, a bill to carry into effect the foregoing resolution, and to take such measures, in furtherance thereof, as they may deem fit, and as counsel may ad vise, consistently with the powers of the parties." OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY,—The exertions of this company to obtain an independent metropolitan outlet for its traffic are to be met by the most determined opposition of the London and North-Western and Great Western Companies. . BIRMING/lAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY.—The London and . North-Western authorities are quite alive to the mischief which this line may inflict upon its traffic. There is a considerable season traffic from Leamington northwards, and to prevent the Great Western Company getting hold of it, the Euston-square authorities have resolved to ran a train from Leamington to Nuneaton, upon that most unprofitable of all lines the Trent Valley, to meet the express trains at that point. This will of course secure the Leamington northern traffic to the London and North-Western Company. BOSTON AND MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The Marquis of Bristol, through whose land this line proceeds for above seven miles, has given in his adhesion to the project, which is now supported by every landowner from end to end. The Ambergate line has cost nearly 30,000/ per mile. This line will cost, exclusive of the proposed docks, less than 8,5001. per mile. It will, when con structed, bring into active working the Ancaster quar ries, the stone from which is said to be unequalled in the kingdom. RAILWAY MERCIIANDIZE DEPOTS.—The Great Wes tern Railway have just opened twenty-four, and the Great Northern twenty extensive goods depots in all parts of the metropolis. SOUTII WALES RAILWAY. —Consequent on a notifica tion from the railway department of the Board of Trade, this company have discontinued their open third class carriages, the Act of Parliament requiring that all third class carriages shall be covered in. EMIGRATION TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Last evening a public meeting was hold in the British and Foreign School-room, Cowper-street, City-road, for the purpose of marking the departure for Australia of a party of 180 intending emigrants of both sexes, who are to sail in a few days by the ship Lord Delaval, which has been chartered under the auspices of a committee of gentlemen connected with various dissenting denomina tions. The room was well filled with an assemblage of all classes, drawn together by the expectation that Mrs. Chisholm would attend to address a few parting words of advice to the emigrants, which she did. In the course of her address, one of the emigrants asked " Shall we b e shaved, Ma'am, wh en we cross line—(Load laughter) ? Mrs. Chisholm said that the razor used on crossing the line was a very rude one, generally a pieco of old iron; and they were very fortunate who escaped with only one or two cuts from the operation. The passengers were generally irritated by the process, and it often created had bad feeling during the rest of the voyage. She therefore made it a rule not to recommend a passenger to a ship were it was permitted. (Hear, hear). She advised the emigrants present to get the committee to add a clause to the contract prohibiting the ba!barous practice. (Cheers). Dr. Thomson said he had twice crossed the line, bat never saw any shaving. However, he thought its discontinuance in all cases should be made imperative. Mrs. Chisholm said that within the lust two months she knew of five cases of shaving, which wore all bad ones. The custom was like that of making workmen pay their footing. She did not wish to trench upon poor Jack's old established perquisites; but let the passengers su bstitute a supper, by subscribing 3d. a-h ea d or so, at tho end of the voyage, as a mark of good feeling to the crew. This would be much better than giving them drink. TUE ASSASSINATION OF MR. MANIFOLD.—The Lord Lieutenant has offered a reward of 1001. for such intor mation as may lead to the convic t ion of the as sass i n of t h e late Mr. Manifold. hum ENIGRATION.—.The emigration fever in Ireland has certainly received some check since the close of the summer ; but still considerable numbers are taking their departure for America or Australia. A local journal gives an account of tho " oompleto decay of the once prosperous and happy village of Kinvara," . from which most of th e s h opkeepers and other inhabitants have emigrated. The C )roner remarked that the most certain remedy would have been for some person to have sucked the wound the instant after the bite, if any one could have been found having the boldness to do it. Edward Stewart, who looks after the humming birds at the gardens, said that he and deceased left the gar dens at six o'clock on Tuesday, and he returned shortly before six on Wednesday morning, and was in the rep tile room with the deceased when the accident happened. A little after eight o'clock he was going out of the door with a basket of larks. Deceased was then by the snake glass. He lifted up the glass, and took out the "Bocce" snake, and held it up by its neck. Witness ran to Gir ling, and said, " For God's sake put it back again." Girling laughed, and said, " I am inspired," and then lifted the snake on to witness's shoulder, and let it run round his neck. Witness said, "For God's sake put it away." Girling then put the snake in, and then game down to where the " Cobra" was, and said, " Now for the Cobra." Witness again exclaimed, "For God's sake leave off—what are you about?" Deceased took the 1 " Cobra" out of the case, and put it inside his waistcoat, and it crawled round from the right side, and came ' out at the left side of his waistcoat. Girling drew it out, and was holding the " Cobra" between the head and the middle of the body, when it made a dart at his face, and he (witness) saw the blood on Gir ling's nose, and Girling called out, " Run for Hunt," and witness did so, and was much frightened. When witness returned, he found the " Cobra" back in its case. He supposed it must have been placed there by the deceased. Deceased would sometimes get a little to drink. On the Tuesday night witness had tea with Girling, and they went out together between seven and eight o'clock, and they were out all night. They went , to see a friend who was going to Australia, where they had some porter, and afterwards they went to a public house in Shoe-lane. Girling was not intoxicated, but he was in an excited state; they had some gin after they got back to the gardens, about breakfast time. Another keeper named Baker said he saw Girling handing the snakes, and warned him. Lie believed that the deceased was intoxicated. Mr. Mitchell deposed that the men had orders never to touch the snakes, and said that any man discovered about the gardens in a state of intoxication would be discharged. He gave these orders to Girling personally on his appointment. Girling had been a guard on a railway before his appointment at the gardens. He had once reproved him, and threatened him with instant dis missal tor opening the adder case to feed the reptiles, instead of putting the food in at the top. James Phipps, engineer at the Zoological Gardens, said he saw the deceased Girling immediately after he was bitten. He ran into the engine -house covered with blood, and begged of him (witness) to take him for as sistance, as he had been bitten by a " Cobra," and was dying. He would be sure to die. He then washed his face, and fancied he had the snake in his bosom. He kept saying, it's hero he bit me. A cab was procured and he was conveyed in about 20 minutes to the hOspi tal. Nothing was done for him at the gardens. Mr. Mitchell said the deceased was in possession of a preparation of Libma Cedron, said to be a specific against serpent poison, with the method of applying which de ceased was well acquainted, having seen it used in some experiments which had been made at the gardens. These experiments were inconclusive as to the value of the alleged specific. He gave a bottle of the preparation to Girling at the close of the experiments, although at the time he gave it he remarked that no accident could cceur there except by the negligence of the man him- iq self. The deceased no doubt forgot th a t h e h a d i t. The jury returned a verdict, " That Edward Horatio Girling died from the eff,ets of wounds inflicted by a venomous serpent known as the " Cobra de capolle," and that the injuries were the results of his cvvn rashness, whilst in a state of intoxication." The inquiry then terminated. THE FATAL DUEL AT EGHAM. RE-EXAMINATION A THE TOWN-LIALL, CHER I'SEY. (Before Captain the ion. G. J. Cavendish, chairman ; Captain Seymour, ; Mr. R. W. Edp,ell, and Mr. J. Dobinson). CHERTSEY, FRIDAY.—The prisoners charged with being concerned in the duel affair on Inglefiold-green were again brought up for re-examination this morning. iu pursuance of the verbal remand of Wednecdsy last. The accused, who were brought from Egham last even ing, in charge of Chief Superintendent Biddlecombe, of the Surry police force, after having remained all day on Thursday awaiting the result of the inquest, were lodged in the town of Chertsey for the night, two of them, viz., Baronnet and Allain, having been accommo dated at the Swan Inn, under a police guard ; and the other two prisoners, Barthii‘my and &tourney, wore similarly provided for at the Crown Inn, which adjoins the Town-hall, they being also guarded by police officers. The accused were brought up in custody at twelve o'clock, and were immediately convoyed to the large room at the Town-hall, whore the bench of magistrates were sitting. Chief-Su — perintendent Biddlecombe stated that the pri soners were brought up in pursuance of the remand on Wednesday last, and related the leading and most im portant features that bad transpired at the coroner's in quest, held at the Barley Mow public-house, on Ingle tield-green, yesterday morning, and of the adjournment of the further inquiry until Tuesday next (the particu lars of which appeared in our yesterday's impression). Thirteen witnesses, he said, had already been examined, and he had still two more, whose testimony was of the utmost importance ; and, he presumed, already suffi cient evidence bad been given to justify him in asking for a further remand until Wednesday next, which would be after the coroner's inquest had returned their verdict ; in the meantime, from inquiries he had set on eld a short consultation foot, he had no doubt but that additional and very kn.. this fatal rene::::01 p o Thern t e facts would after he having with the bench, inquired of the prisoners, through their interpreter, what they had to say as to why they should not be remanded until Wednesday next, to which two of them, viz., Barth6:6my and Mournay, declined saying a nything; the other two, viz., Baronnet and Allain, put in a statement written in the French language, whieb was interpreted to the Court. The following is a translation of the document as made by Captain Seymour, one of the magistrates: " Whatever may be the consequences of the severity of the English law against duelling (of which I am in formed), I declare that I was the second of Mons. Cour net on the 19th October; that the obligations and sin cere friendship I entertained for him would not allow of my refusing to accompany him in Ile was my beat friend, and I had found so many no b le qualities in him, that I did all I could to avoid the rot centre, but I had to obey the laws of honour, friendship, and the customs of French duelling.

The warrant for the florsemonger-lane gaol commitment of the prisoners to in the hands of was then made out and placed theprisoners SSu er Biddlecombe, who re movedfrom court to the hotels where they had spent the previous evening, and subsequently con- Railway,London by the 3.50 t ra i n o f the South- Westerny, f un der an escort of police. e On the return they prisoners to Chertsoy from the inquest l as t evenin g ' wel:e visited in by their country man, Louis Blan c , who rema ined at Chertsoy n conver sation with some of them for a considerable time, and appeared deeply interested in the affair. Ledru Rollin arrived in Chertsoy after the prisoners were remanded, and wont to London in their couivany. The following account of the u nfortunate man's (Cournet's) early life has been received from a French „gentleman with whom the deceased was intimately ac quainted, and may be faithfully relied upon. Felin Cournet, a captain in the French navy, was a man of undoubted courage and intrepedity; when only eighteen years of ago he and six other men in a boat took a Spanish frigate on the Tagus. For this gallant decd, in which his life underwent great perils, ho W6S deco rated and rewarded by the French nation with the honorary distinction of the legion d'honneur, and before he had attained his twenty-first year ho was made a lieutenant in the navy by Admiral Roussin, the minister of the marine service under the Government of Louis Phili ppe . We are also informed, from good authority, that the unfortunate man Cournet had fought fifteen duels before the sad affair when he met with such an untimely and tragical end, so that we may fairly pre sume that Cournet's opponent must have had the first shot.
