ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA, with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the Real Sufferers, under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From the German of Dr. PICK.FoItD. With an I ntroinction by the Editor, containing a complete - exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are credulous enough to seek their aid. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, - he informs ns, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. Wo trust this may not be.the last, If be shall tetect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his -over to cor rect." —London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,' and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needlesi suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks pa ost prize— much money --This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore, likely to do much good." - • London: H. Balliere, 219, Regent-street. ADULTS AND JUVENILES. THE Business of E.

SHIPPING STATISTICS. The East India and China Association have published their comparative statement of the number of ships, both British and foreign, with their aggregate tonnage, en tered inward and cleared, outward with cargo from and to places within the limits of the East India Company's charter in the years 1853 and 1854. The statistics of vessels entered inward show, in the case of the port of London, an increase of 113 vessels, and 58,984 tonnage, the difference between 711 vessels, with 384,531 tonnage, in 1853, and 824 vessels, with 443,515 tonnage, in 1854. Liverpool figures for an in crease of five vessels and 4,8g1 tonnage, the arrivals in 1853 having been 255 vessels, with 155,741 tonnage, and 260 vessels, with 160,572 tonnage. In the case of Bristol there is an increase of three vessels and 3,338 tonnage, the difference between 28 vessels, with 10,048 tonnage, and 31 vessels, with 13,386 tonnage. The return for the Clyde exhibits an increase of 16 ♦essels and 5,502 ton nage, the arrivals in the earlier period having been 39 vessels, with 14,577 tonnage, against in 'the latter 55 vessels, with 20,079 tonnage. The total increase on the year has been 137 vessels, and 72,655 tonnage, the difference between 1,033 vessels, with 564,897 tonnage, in 1853, and 1,170 vessels, with 637,552 tonnage, in 1854. The increase in arrivals has been from Calcutta, Madras, Ceylon, the Philippine Islands, Java, and Sumatra, Mauritius, and the Cape of Good Hope. The statistics of vessels cleared outward show a de crease in the case of the port of London of 42 vessels and 33,004 tonnage, the difference between 954 vessels, with 485,972 tonnage, and 912 vessels, with 452,968 tonnage. The return for Liverpool exhibits a decrease of 75 vessels, but an increase of 33,691 tonnage, the departures in 1853 having been 515 vessels, with 230,054 tonnage, and 440 vessels, with 313,745 tonnage. The decrease in the ease of Bristol is 21 vessels, and 4,174 tonnage, the difference between 36 vessels, with 9,308 tonnage, and 15 vessels, with 5,134 tonnage. The return for the Clyde exhibits a decrease of 61 vessels and 803 tonnage, the departures in the earlier period having been 188 vessels, with 61,552 tonnage, against, in the latter, 124 vessels, with 60,749 tonnage. The net decrease on the year has been 202 vessels, and 4290, tonnage ; the difference between 1,693 vessels, with 836,886 tonnage, and 1,491 vessels, with 832,596 ton nage. The relatively small diminution in tonnage is accounted for by the increased size of the vessels em ployed, Liverpool and the Clyde particularly having made an advance iu this respect. The decrease in depar tures has been in connexion with Australia, China, and the Cal)e of Good uCJ -- ' , T....,......i.. , . .. ..,4 -- f.,,..,.. j ... __._,„„,... rif / 1 5 - 4{ p. ~,.._, ..,.. . ... • . . .). ..,:„. .

A NEW MORTAR BOAT. STORES, &c., FOR THE CRIMEA. 500,0001b5. of preserved boiled beef, packed in tin cases, are now being sent out to the Crimea for the use of the troops. Government are about to despatch a portion of the London Fire Brigade to Constantinople, with the neces sary apparatus, to protect the hospital at Scutari from fire. Mr. Edgar Swan, of the engineering Staff of Messrs. Betts, Pete, and Brassey, left London on Monday even ing for Dover, overland for the Crimea. The Loire, screw, hired by the Messrs. Cro&ford to convey goods and provisions to the Black Sea, could not, as intended, get away from the Southampton docks yesterday. The delay was caused by the overcrowded state of the ship, there being no room to stow a quan tity of planking which is to be taken out for the pur pose of erecting a large store in which to place her cargo upon its arrival at the Crimea. A quantity of coals having been removed, the difficulty was over come, and it is the intention to despatch her to sea to-day, if practicable. The Coriolanus, hired sailing transport, for the con veyance of French huts to the Crimea, still remains in the river, her captain not being able to muster a suffi cient crew to put to sea. Every exertion is being used to procure hands, and it is hoped she will shortly get away. The Lady Jocelyn (screw) and the Bwiftsure (sailing) transports, chartered by the French Government for the conveyance of huts, are continuing to receive large numbers on board, and great credit is due to those to whom the superintendence of the shipping is intrusted for the speedy manner in which the huts are being dis posed of. _ _ - The Rajah (screw transport ) Peninsul a r an d O r i en t a l Company's steam-ship, received her number (181) yester day morning; CaptrOn — Byrhe . has 'been - appointed to this vessel, vice Captain Evans, removed to the Alma, now fitting at Black wall. Yesterday the duties in the Storekeeper's Department in the Tower became so exceedingly arduous that nearly 100 extra labourers were employed, exclusive of all the soldiers who could be spared from military duty, to de liver military and warlike stores, and ship them on board lighters and other craft for conveyance to Woolwich, Sheerness, and Portsmouth for the Crimea. The stores consisted of fur and other warm clothing, water-tight criw-hide boots, greatcoats and blankets, horse clothing, Minie rifles and rifled carbines, pistols, sabres, arid cut lasses. Notwithstanding the great exertions of the Board of Ordnance, it is not expected that the whole of the fur clothing can be despatched to the Crimea before the latter part of the ensuing week. MAIL FOR THE CRIMEA. Yesterday the Postmaster• General gave notice that on Saturday morning next a snail for the British army in the Crimea, the hospital at Scutari, the fleet in the Black Sea, and the British transports, would be made up and forwarded via Southampton and Malta. Letters, id. each, payable in advance, and not exceeding half an ounce. Newspapers free. VOLUNTEERS FOR THE BLACK SEA. FLEET, Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a large num her of volunteers, consisting of able and ordinary sea men, stokers, lads, and boys, who were borne on the hooks of H.M.S. Crocodile for service in the Black Sea fleet, were mustered on the quarter-deck of that ship ; after which, they were embarked in boat s w hi c h con veyed them to London-bridge, from whence a portion proceeded by steam-boat to Woolwich and Sheerness, and the remainder went by the South-Western Railway to Portsmouth. MILITARY. Captain- liawkins's Company of the Royal Artillery (7th Battalion) march from Portobello Barracks, Dub lin, this day (Wednesday) at 4 p.m., and proceed to the North Wall, where they will embark for Liverpool, and thence by railway en route for Woolwich, prepara- tory to their immediate departure for the Crimea. The men of the 56th Regiment, 500 in number, who arrived in Queenstown on Frii.lay evening, in the Re sistance, ware brought up to Cork on Monday, and are now stationed in the barracks there. On Monday, the depot of the 91st Regiment (Argyll shire) marched into Chatham barracks from Ireland, consisting of two sergeants, one drummer, and 120 rank and file, under command of Lieutenant Olivey and Ensign H. E. Glass. The depot embarked on board the Falcon steamer from Corle on the 11th inst. The undernained medical officers at Chatham are re lieved from duty at the hospital, Fort Pitt, and the gar rison hospital, for the purpose of their proceeding to the following stations :—Assistant-Surgeon M'Faddin, 11th Foot (North Devon), joins the depot of his corps at Brecon, and the four following officers are for em barkation for Turkey :—vii., Second Class Staff Sur geon J. A. Fraser, Second Class Staff Surgeon W. Bar rett, Second Class Staff Surgeon Bain, and Surgeon W. Barratt, M.D., 71st Highland Light Infantry. These officers are expecting to receive their route daily. The medical departments at Chatham ,are extremely busy, owing to the number of sick soldiers from the East lately arrived. THE MILITIA. The Royal Westminster Militia, Col. Lord Chelsea, is ordered forthwith to be embodied for permanent duty. Yesterday the East Suffolk Regiment of Artillery as sembled at their depot, Brook-street, Ipswich, prepara tory to their marching to the stations assigned to the various detachments. During the morning the follow ing movements took place:—For Tilbury Fort, a de tachment, under the command of Captain Whitbread, Lieutenant D'Eye, and Lieutenant Everard. ForLand guard Fort, Harwich, a detachment, under the• com mand of Captain Leathes, Captain Gorton, Lieutenant Eagle, and Ensign Gower. For Harwich redoubt, a detachment, under command of Captain Barlow and Lieutenant Daniel. A detachment had also been or dered for garrison duty at Hull, but this has been countermanded, and a detachment of the Norfolk Mi litia Artillery are ordered for that post. The Artillery battalion of the Royal Sussex Militia is to be embodied on the Ist of February next, at the depot in Southover. The men will be drilled for a few weeks, after which they will probably be placed along the coast in the martello towers. The East Norfolk Militia have only been assembled about a fortnight, and up to Friday last 69 men had volunteered to the regular forces-35 to the Coldstream Guards, and the remainder to the Royal Artillery, lst Foot, GOth Rifles, 98th, and Rifle Brigade. Previously to the embodiment of the regiment about 200 had been released from their militia engagements to join the army. The recruiting goes on briskly, the men being almost immediately replaced. The regiment still mus ters nearly 700 men. Two hundred men of the 2d Somerset Militia, chiefly recriits, arrived in Cork by the Sabrina steamer, on Sunday from Bristol. They Will remain there to fill up the vacancies caused by the large numbers that have volunteered into the line. ROUEN. —The letters from Rouen mention that the market for manufactures was steady, with a slight ten dency to improvement, the attendance of buyers having increased. The CHAIRMAN gave the; health of the borough mem ber. Mr. 'Lindsay, he said, had not long representel the town, but if he went o n as h e h a d b egan h e ' con lj not trill to give satisfaction to his constituents. (Ail plause.) The health was drunk with loud cheers. Mr. LINDSAY, en rising, was received with renewed cheering. After adverting to local topics, the hon. mem ber said—With regard to the war, although holding the same principles as the Ministry, yet he must say that when they first resolved to take up arms against Russia, they shoul have done so with more hearty good will than they had evinced ; if we had been better prepared for war, there would have been fewer losses and sacrifices, and the object would have been easily secured. He would say one word further. They were aware of certain propositions for peace which had been made, and of the nature of what were called the " four_ points ;" and, considering what we bad done and suffered--remembering the' vic tories of Alma; Balaklava, and Inkerman, not gained without the loss of much valuable treasure and many precious lives—ha believed that, even if these points were agreed to by Russia, they would not satisfy the peO ple df this country. (Cheers.) He was an advocate for peace.; he thought it a horrible tliing that civilised na tions should have to resort t(x,...gitting each other's throats to settle their quarrels ; but it seemed neces sary to resort to war, and having done so, with re luctance as they all knew, he must say that he for one was not satisfied with the four points. The honourable member recapitulated those points, and urged that Rus sia had failed in its engagements to keep open the mouths of the Danube, having an interest in drawing as many ships as possible to its own port of Odessa, and insisted that not only must the Black Sea be opened to our ships of war, as proposed, but that Sebastopol must be destroyed, if we would protect Tur= key from the aggressions of the Czar., (Cheers.) There was, he said, one point more connected with the war on which he would touch. We had already expended a great deal of money in carrying it on—there had been additional taxation in consequence —and he thought Eng lishrnen, and he was sure our French allies (John Bull had always been liberal in these matters), would expect that one of the conditions should be that Russia should pay the expenses of the war to which she has driven us, (Applause.) Upon the conduct of the war it would ill become him to venture an opinion. He had read with deep interest the accounts in the publi c p ress; h e h a d admired the bravery and indomitabl e courage of our troops, and although he had also seen with much regret painful statements of their privations and sufferings, yet he scarcely thought things werequite so bad as reported. In the sister service, the navy, however, there was great need of better organisation. This he knev. With regard to the management of matters connected with the transport service France was greatly in advance of us. We had tY---we could hardly Graham—but a m n e d n ,the t m h o e r fi e rs a t b a l b e il n i t l y an at t t h h a e n Ad s m ir ir j al am when he told them that the same iyatena was now in operation which was pursed a hundred years ago, they would not be surprised at the difficulty and confusion which prevailed. The form of the charter-party was verbatim the same as in the days of the Dutch war and Lord Camperdown, whereas the French adopted a form like that used in the merchant service —being in this respect, therefore, a great step in advance of us. (Cheers.) These were facts the recital of which night give offence to some, but he thought it his duty to the country to state them thus publicly. Then, again, France had a responsible head, to whom all might appeal. If a mer chant had occasion to send a message by telegraph to the Minister of War, requesting to know f or i nstance, what goods were to be shipped in a certaiA vessel, there was an answer bythe same rapid medium by four o'clock in the afternoon. But if you wrote to the Admiralty— muCh nearei—the probability was you would not get an answer in a week, and sometimes five weeks elapsed be fore an answer was returned. (Hear.) This was not the fault of the men, but the system; there was no responsible head—responsible to the House af Commons, and through it to the country. Messages were sent from the Admi-: ralty to the War-office, from the Ministry of War to e the Ordnance, from thOrdnance to Deptford, and then came back to the source from which they originally pi-obeeded; A change therefore, must be made in this respect before they could reasonably hope matters would improve. (Loud cheers.) Having dwelt at some length on this question, lie would only add a few words on the burdens of shipping. A consolidation of our mari 'lime laws was effected last sessionzqe wished it-had been still more extensive and simple, hut a great im provement had been effected ; but the Admiralty Court had not yet been reformed, consular charges had not been abolished, burdens on shipping still remained to be removed, and he would only assure them that to these measures he should continue to direct his atten tion so long as he bad the honour and satisfaction of being their representative in Parliament. (Cheers.) Several other toasts were then drank, and the com pany separated. —Newcastle Guardian. PECULIARITIES OF THE ENGLISH CAVALRY. The military critic of whose memoranda, the fruit of long experience in high command in the Peninsula and now again in the Crimea, we availed ourselves on Satur day last, remarks, with much good sense and modera tion, on the peculiarities of the English cavalry. There is not'such universal admiration for our cavalry as for our infantry. The horses are not broken nor the equip ments prepared in a manner to meet the approbation of foreign cavalry officersLbut on these he abstains from offering an opinion. :We cannot h ourselves to emulate his moderation w in o thisl p re respect.vai l upon If there he a sight at once ludicrous and painful, it is that of a cavalry soldier on a rough trotting horse, with the saddle canted; up' behind, and his stirrups of such a length as to render it impossible for him to indulge in the forbidden .luxury of rising in his stirrups—braided, belted, and shakoed, a perfect picture of splendid and deference t o sense l ess custom, l e t superfluous winery. r l a f g a o l o ly n o i n s e ca w il i es d h ptoonk t 0 0 0 w e what , it fo i r s that h u i o m otl n ihi l e o er u r : e t ral t °l h l ; tb ;lzr ri gest and roughest carriage horse he can find, on a boy's saddle, without stirrups, and, pre serving a perfectly erect position, keep the horse at a trot as long as he can endure the process. He will find that a mile of such discipline goes further to weary him self and his steed than ten ridden in the ordinary way, and will form some faint idea why it is that the most insignificant journeys wear out both horses and men, and render our cavalry little more available for one of their most valuable purposes—the gaining knowledge of a country—than if they were not mounted at all. Apologising for the digression, we return to our Mentor, who observes that the B r i t i s h C ava l ry so ldi er i s afflicted with the same helpnessness as the infantry, and experiences the same inability to provide for himself out of what the country legitimately affords, the evil being in this instance doubled, inasmuch as the horse must also suffer for the improvidence of the rider. The cavalry soldier also is said to be equally ignorant of the art of war and of the duties required from officers, non-commissioned officers, and private soldiers in the field, from which it happens that the early periods of a campaign by a Bri tish army are almost always more or less marked by serious errors on the part of the cavalry, which they often vainly endeavour to compensate by extraordinary prowess in actual conflict with the enemy. These are mortifying criticisms, proceeding as they do from no un friendly censor. One would have thought that a nation like ours, possessing undoubtedly the finest breed of horses in the world, and a race of horsemen more bold and more skilful than are to be found probably in any other civilised country, would at least in this arm have shown a marked and unquestionable superiority. But the spirit of narrow and prejudiced routine and the effect of a discipline which seems to aim at making men ma chines, instead of retaining for them the advantages of reason and intelligence, have somehow or other con trived to construct out of first-rate materials an article not wholly first-rate. But even these defects are small compared with that pervading vice of the English ea valry which renders it, notwithstanding all its dash and all its bravery, the most inferior arm in our service. There is little attachment between the man and his horse. The best of our cavalry soldiers will do what the rules prescribe for their horses, but it is a labour of duty, not of love, and he will do no more. Tho bad soldier will avoid, when he can, even doing that, without re gard to the injury that his horse suffers, and the worst will not scruple to sell the forage of his charger to ob tain liquor for himself. He views his horse much in the light in which a Russian colonel regards the boers who form his regiment—as creatures containing in their organisation a power of indefinite starvation, which he is at liberty to strain to the uttermost for his own personal profit. The result is the same in both cases. The Russian foot soldier dies on the march or in the bivouac, from causes which hardly affect the better-fed troops of other nations, and the English trooper's horse breaks down and dies under privations and hardships which, however severe, are not found to dismount and destroy the cavalry of other countries. So notorious has the inability of the Eng lish cavalry to endure long campaigning become, that people have sought to account for it by the plausible hypothesis that the English horse, pampered and shel -1 tered at home, is unable to endure the privation and hardship of a campaign. Our censor is not of this opinion. He observes that the Hanoverian troopers in the Peninsula ware actuated by a real spirit of huma nity and affection for their horses, and that this good example and the effect it produced on the English dragoon were the means of preserving the regiment's in far better condition at the end than they were at the beginning of the war. In confirmation of this view we may urge, that while our horses have been dying by thousands from cold, wet, and starvation in the Crimea, the battery commanded by Cap tain Barker, where care has been taken to shelter them, and give them all the relief which, 9irealnetancefi We presume that, when Parliament meets on the 23d of this month, the Government will make some general statement of the scope and objects of the measures which they intend to introduce during the remainder of the present session. To expect a supplementary Speech from the Throne, except in the shape of a royal message, would be contraryto official etiquette and. Parliamentary precedent ; and therefore the public must be content to wait until the leaders of the Government, in both Houses, condescend to explain the programme of legis lation which they are about to propose for the year 1855. With the exception of one general allusion, her Majesty's Speech was silent as to the domestic concerns of the country. Her Majesty said, " Although the prosecution of the war will naturally engage your chief attention, I trust that other matters of great interest and importance to the general welfare will not be neglected." The express sion of this hope on the part of her Majesty was a direct invitation to hon. members to ask the Government what were " the matters of great interest and importance to the general welfare " with which they proposed to deal ; but in only one instance was a reply of a satisfactory kind obtained. Two days after the meeting of Parlia ment, the President of the Board of Trade gave a pro mise that, shortly after the Christmas recess, a measure would be introduced for the amendment of the law re lating to partnership—a subject which is obviously of the greatest importance to the general welfare of the first commercial country in the world. On the same even ing, one question having been satisfactorily answered by a member of the Government, Mr. Hadfield, rather in nocently as it would appear, was induced to put a simi lar question, with respect to a subject of at least equal importance, to the Lord President of the Council, when his lordship said—" Regard being had to the state of the business at this early period of the session, it was desirable that the Government should have time, until after the Christmas recess, to consider what measures they might think fit to introduce. They would he prepared to make theasomusencement after the recess." The subject to which Mr. Hadfield's question had reference was not Parliainentaly Reform, or any question likely to excite strong political or party feeling ; it related merely to a question which, during the last twenty years, has repeatedly engaged the attention of Parliament, and which was taken up by the noble lord's Government no longer ago than the commencement of last session. The question was that of the proposed transfer of testamentary jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery. The noble lord and his colleagues had the whole of the Parliamentary recess to consider whether they would reintroduce the measure on this subject, which they succeeded in carrying through the House of Lords before Easter, and which they unaccountably with drew to wards the close of the session ; and now they have to consider, in the interval t etween the 23d of December and the 23d of January, not only this particular mea sure, but every other measure which they may think fit to introduce having relation to the domestic concerns of the country. This is a careless and slovenly mode of conducting the public business, unfair to Parliament and the public, and not even to be extenuated on the ground that the prosecution of the war naturally en gages the first place in the minds of all men. If the Government had adopted the usual course of indicating, in general terms, the subjects with which they proposed to deal, the short Christmas recess would have afforded , a convenient breathing time in the progress of legisla tion—the public would have had an opportunity of can vassing the several propositions of the Government—ho- , nOurable members would have returned to their duties with some knowledge of the questions which, at a future period, would more formally engage their attention, and the Government would have received some inkling of that public opinion out of doors with respect to their contemplated measures which is always a salutary check upon hasty and immature legislation. The last session of Parliament was remarkable for the great number of really useful measures which were sud denly, and apparently without sufficient reason, relin quished by the Government. As examples, we may mention the bill to facilitate divorce, the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill, and the bill to establish an uniform system of constabulary. Measures on these subjects, we believe, will be introduced immediately after the re-assembling of Parliament; a measure on the law of partnership, recognising the principle of limited liability, has been prepared, and its introduction has already been promised ; and the commissioners ap pointed to investigate the transfer of land have made such progress in their labours, that a bill embodying the recommendations of their report may, at no distant day, be expected. We trust that proper care will be taken duly to apportion this mass of prospective legisla tion between the two Houses. The principle of trans ferring the testamentary jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery having been affirmed by the House of Lords last year, the most convenient course now would be to submit the new measure, in the first instance, to the House of Commons. The partnership bill should also originate in the House of Commons, to receive the care ful consideration of the many eminent mercantile men who have seats in that branch of the Legislature. The divorce bill, and the measure relating to the transfer of land, should concurrently occupy the attention of the Upper House, and especially' of the noble and learned .orris, the weight of whose authority on all questions of ,aw reform is beyond dispute.—Morning Post. HOUSE DRAINAGE. Sir JOHN SHELLEY desired to know what power the Court had of compelling the owners of houses to drain into the sewers, and so get rid of cesspools ? The CHAIRMAN stated that the surveyor had no power in the first instance to enter houses for the purpose of inspecting them. TITHES AND SEWERS' RITE. • Mr. OFFER moved "That doubts having been enter tained as to the legality of assessing tithe or tithe rent charge to the sewers' rate, the secretary drew a case for the opinion of counsel upon this question, and that such case, when drawn, be submitted to the Court both for approval and to name the counsel to whom such case shall be sent." Mr. TUwAITES seconded the motion, which was passed after a short discussion. Mr. WADE then moved, " That a premium of 5001. be offered for the best scheme for ventilating the sewers un der the control of this Commission, and for the destruc tion or neutralisation of the gases generated by the sewage of the same; which, after a short, discussion, was withdrawn. TV: S. LINDSAY, ON THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The Equitable Freight and Insurance Associatim held its annual dinner at the Albion Assembly Ii ! ooms TynernoUth, On Thursday last; Alderman Pow was i the chair. The usual loyal toasts having been given folloled by " Our Allies, the French and Torks, ' an "Her Mejesty's Ministers," all of which were drun with applause, admitted, has not lost a single horse—a memorable ex ample of what may be done by forethought and huma. nity,- and an exploit as honourable as the most brilliant achievement on the field of battle. The , last suggestion on this-;ubject to which we have to call the attention of our readers is the great want felt in our army of realty light cavalry. We have, indeed many reginients rejoining in this appellation, becausi they contrive to load the horse when in heavy march ing, ordcr with a weight something under 19 stone Such troops, however usefAin 'a charge bri solid in resist• ing an attack, are 'only "light" by comparison, and are . quite unable to perform those duties; for which, cavalry are more peculiarly calcrila ted. There is, indeed,- very little ()if, ference between "heavy" and "light" in the English army. It may be said of all our cavalry that their weight renders them. unfit for active outpost duty, such as pa trods, escorts, orderlies, and messengers with orders and correspondence. For there purposes we require an active corps, composed of men cf lighter weight, for whose height there should be fixed 'a maximum instead' of a minimum, mounted on active horses, with arms and equipments to correspond. The English Dragoon horse can seldom be supplied out of England. 'However effi cient in a charge, —a consideration to which everything else is sacrificed,—be 'cannot, it lost, be replaced except from home. A Dragoon who has lost his horse in Tur key is as effectually dismounted as if there was not an °thir herse in the country,being reduced to the conditlon of the .Norman Rollo,- who was obliged to perforin all his journeys on foot, because there was found no steed strong enough to carry him. But really light cavalry,, such as we have suggested, would find no difficulty in remounting themselves even in the Crimea, and thus have saved the endless expense .and delay which seem likely to wait upon our•attemptstomaintaina•respectable cavalry force witti the army. ' • It seems to result from these observations, that, great as is the loss which we have undoubtedly- sustained by the storm:of the 14th 'of November, by the inclemency of the weather, and the deep and miry nature of the ground, the causes which have destroyed our hprses lie deeper, and would have asserted their fatal efficacy, though not to the same extent,, even dad these • special circumstances been wanting. A short time ago we should not have thought it fitting to trouble the gene ral reader with these military details and disquisi tions, high as is the iiithority from which we derive* them; 'but we share in common,with the public the con viction that these things can no longer be• left to be managed, as they have been, by purely professional minds. If that common sense which appears everywhere so deplorably wanting is at length . to be introduced into our military system, it must be through the agency of public opinion, and it therefore becomes a duty to assist in forming that opinion; by laying before it the sugges tions of, mature experience and the conclusions of sound reason.—Tintes. MEETING- OF PARLIAMENT. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Jan. 16.—We have again to report a very dull market. Buyers for India have scarcely ope rated at all, and will in most cases await their letters by the mail, which has now been telegraphed as having reached Trieste. These letters may be expected about Wednesday next. Purchases for the home trade and most of the shipping markets are made with much cau tion, but prices are mostly steady. The trade in long cloths, T-cloths, and other fabrics suited to the Greek trade, continues an exception to the general rule, a fair business still existing, although the accumulation of packages of goods at Liverpool for which no shipment can yet be secured is rather considerable. In yarns the same flatness prevails which marks the cloth market, but prices are sustained. Rather more business is doing for the Mediterranean than for other quarters. Of the cloth market Messrs. John Slagg and Co. re port : "The improved feeling which we noticed on Tuesday last has gradually subsided along with the faith in the report which gave rise to it, and we have again'to report a dull, inactive market. The heavier fabrics for the Mediterranean and Levant are still in the best position, but even in these there is less disposition to operate than there has been for a long time past. In India goods there is still very little doing, but, so far, there are no ac,cumulations of stock, and prices are well sup ported." Messrs. G. Fraser, Son, and G o, say— " There has been a quiet market, without any notic e . able change in prices , LERDS, Jan. 16.—There has been a moderate attend. ance of buyers in the Cloth-halls this morning, but not quite a full average business has been done. Purchases are limited to small quantities, little being doing yet, for either the home or the foreign trade, in spring goods. Prices remain steady. A BALLOONING HINDOO.—The Bombay Times says Rajah Issan Chaltdersing, Secretary to the British Indian Association, made a balloon ascent on Nov. 22d, at juntroo Candy, where his palace is situated.

The following inquiry has been received whether any more overland homeward mails are to be expected from Australia " Sir,—Belonging to a numerous class who are deeply interested in, and anxious to hear from Australia, we should feel obliged by your informing us (through the Medium of your world-wide journal) whether there will be an overland mail from Australia at the end of this month ; but should it be out of your routine so to do, the insertion of this inquiry might produce a reply from one of your numerous commercial readers which would give us the desired information. " Apologising for giving you this trouble, . " We are, respectfully yours, " COLONIAL MERCHANTS." . . The replyis ' that there are two more t o arr i ve ,— one which will b e due via Marseilles about the 27th inst., and another which will be due by the same route about the 27th of March. The subjoined communication . suggests a now mail route for Australia; to remedy the fatal inr convenience likely to arise from the withdrawal of the overland and other steam lines : " Sir,---:Tite most direct, safe, and speedy mewls of reachin,s , Australia from this country seems to have been entirely overlooked. . _ " lithe overland route to India be followed as far as Aden, and clipper sailing vessels be provided to'• run direct between Aden and Port Philip, it would place Australia uitlio 50 to 55 days' passage from London, and bring the return of post in about 110 days. "It will be seen on reel once to a map, by following a lino over land and sea via Paris, Marseilles, Alexan dria, and Suez to Aden, that a passenger from England. at the latter place would be nearly half-way on his direct journey to Australia. As it is possible by existing means of boat, rail, and road to reach Aden ou the 19th day from leaving London, allowing necessary time for rest and refreshment, it only becomes a question how soon the space of ocean intervening between Aden .and Port Philip—say, 6,720 miles—can be traversed by a sailing ship. Judging from antecedents, 30 to 40 days would be a reasonable time to allow a fast vessel, to .effect this distance. " The employment of steam-vessels, instead of sailing ships, would reduce the whole time between London a n d Melbourne to about 43 days ; but, looking to the diffi• culty of coaling, and the enormous expenses 'attendant on steam navigation, it is doubtful if capitalists could be found to take the risk of providing them, until the traffic and other inducements could be clearly shown as suffi cient to justify the experiment. " Tin Lightning, a clipper sailing vessel, has lately performed tne distance from Port Philip to Liverpool, via Cape Horn-13,760 miles—in 64 days ; other vessels less celebrated have run the same track home in various periods under 75 days, while from 80 to 100 days is the time usually occupied by vessels built to secure carrying capacity rather than speed. We see shipowners eagerly contending for their respective vessels to be chosen as Post office packets, guaranteeing, under • penalty, to per form the passage from England to Port Philip-13,200 miles—within 65 days. We have repeated instances of passages being made from New York and Boston to England-3,800 miles—in from 12 to 15 days, and between other places of various distances apart passages have been made with relative speed. It is fair to as sume, therefore, that winds being as favourhble as those ordinarily met with by ships sailing over long distances, the ocean lying between Aden and Port Philip can be crossed in the thee stated. _ • COURT OF ALDE.RMEAT. Yesterday a court, which was numerously attended, was held for despatch of public business. The first portion of the sitting was occupied by a lencthy motion of which Alderman Wilson had given notice, condemning .Alderman Sidney, and imputing motives to him on account of a notice of motion which he gee in November last, and in which, the policy of Lord Aberdeen was censured. Alderman Wilson's motion found little favour with the members of the court. Alderman FAREBROTITEM hoped that AldermanWilsOn would withdraw his motion, and that the court would consider that Alderman Sidney had acted inadvertently in briu,;ing a political subject before the court. Alderman COPELA.ND said that Alderman Sidney bad a right to withdraw the motion, of which he had given notice, if lie thought proper, and having done so, it was an act of discourtesy to hiss either to discuss its merits or to advert to it in his absence. Nothing was more censurable than to attack a man in his absence, and he thought that Alderman Sidney was net well used in the debate which took place in that court is reference to the wi thdrawal of his motion, and it ought to be a source of some consolation to him to know that whilst not only his brethren, but also the press censured him for the line he had taken, a few days afterwards the daily papers censured the minister of the crown in exactly the same way that the alderman had previously done. After a few words from Alderman WILSOX, the mo tion was withdrawn. A report was read on the state of the debtors inWhite cross-street Prison by the governor. It appeared that on the-15th inst. there were 234 prisoners in confine. ment, of whom $i were women. The total number com mitted in the course of the' year win 1,932, being an increase of 220 on. the preceding year. During the year 169 prisoners have been aided by the prison chari ties at a cost of 985/. ; 41 by the Craven-street Society, and 13 by grants from the Unclaimed Fund, belonging to the Insolvent Debtor's Court, making a total of 223 debtors whose discharge has been obtained by chari table assistance, in addition to which the liberation of many prisoners has been effected by personal exertion where the health of the parties has been bad, or some peculiar circumstance in the cases called for special in terference. The governor says :—" I am gratefal at being able to report that a larger number of the in mates have availed themselves of the privilege of work ing in the prison-shop, and that the increased accommo dations afforded by your honourable court has been duly appreciated by them." METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION. A. special Court was yesterday held, at the principal office, in Greek-street, Soho-square, for the, purpose of considering various important propositions. The atten dance of Commissioners was very numerous, and the chair was, as usual, filled by Mr. Jebb. THE DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr. THWAITES proposed the subjoined resolutions : "That this Commission, feeling a deep anxiety for the permanent and efficient drainage of the metropolis, the freedom of the river Thames from pollution, and the removal of all sewage to the distant marshes east of London, which are free from human habi tation, has given its most careful attention to the several schemes which have been laid' before it, for the purpose of accomplishing such desirable results; and has, by virtue of the powers given by Parliament, proceeded to raise the sum of 300,0001. for these specific objects. While desirous of acknowledging the merits of many of these plans, this Commission is of opinion that, for the drainage of that part of the metropolis south of the Thames (most of which is below and subject to tidal influence) the main tunnel sewers and branches, as set out in the Great London Drainage Scheme,' which has been twice subjected to the scrutiny of a select com mittee of the House of Commons, and supported by high engineering talent and practical 'knowledge, appears (subject to any improvements in detail) the best calm laced effectually to drain the said district, and is of suffi cient capacity for the intercepting and conveyance of all sewage, at the same time permitting, in cases of extra. ordinary rain falls, the water to pass into the Thames, thus rendering unnecessary the high level sewers, as em bodied in the scheme of 3lr. - 13azalg,ette, the engineer to this commission, aed thereby effecting a saving to the ratepayers of no less a sum than 800,0001. The great London drainage plan of tunnel sewers running through the most populous localities of the low level districts of Sonthwark and Lambeth, will not only provide an efficient outfall for the said district, but will intercept the sewage which is now discharged into the Thames. Mr. Bazal gette's plan, while it provides for the rural districts of Clapham, Battersea, Peckham, Camberwell, Denmark hill, and Dulwich, &c., leaves an area of 3,300 acres (as coloured blue on his plan) on the banks of the Thames, and densely populated, entirely destitute either of improved drainage or outfall, and permits the sewage of that large and important district to discharge into the river. This Court, therefore, resolves that immediate steps be taken to carry into effect the plan as set out .in the Great London Drainage Scheme,' with such alte rations and improvements as may be suggested to the Commission, so far as it relates to that part of the me tropolis south of the Thames. That the proper officers of this Court report at its next sitting what land will be required for the outlet, with plans and estimates of the requisite buildings, and of supplying steam power and machinery to discharge the sewage, when collected at the marsh, into the River Thames at high water." Dr. SAYER moved an amendment, to the effect "That the engineers of this commission be requested to pre 'pare, for the information of the commissioners, a report on the improved sewerage and drainage south of the Thames, the discharge-outfall being at or near Plumstead marshes." The learned doctor's argument in favour of his amendment was interrupted by the adjournment of the debate to Tuesday next. EMIGRATION TO CANADA IN 1854. Prom the report of Dr. Douglas, Medical Superin tendent of the Government Emigration Depot, at Grosse Isle, 30 miles below Quebec, it appears that 277 vessels had arrived there during the period the navigation of the St. Lawrence was open in 1354. They left Europe with 52,991 passengers. Of these 512, including two females in child-birth, died on the voyage, and 112 children were born. Of the deaths 347 were infants, and a large majority of the remainder were, aged persons of both sexes. 10,154 of the whole number embarked at Liver pool in 35 vessels. The mortality among these was 225, or upwards of 2 per cent. The mortality in all the other vessels vas seven-tenths of one in 'each hundred. The great mortality in vessels sailing from Liverpool is attri buted, by Dr. Douglas, to the number of persons coming from various parts to take passage there, who, whilst awaiting the departure of ships, are congregated in lodging-houses, in which from over-crowding and want of cleanliness, they become enfeebled, and in many cases diseased before embarking. This was especial!? the case with agricultural labourers from Germany last year, who, in consequence of the scarcity of vessels, were detained lengthened periods at Liverpool before passages were provided for them. They also suffered 'from a want of knowledge of their language on the ipart of the captain and crew, and from oppression from the other passengers who monopelised the cooking places, and deprived them of the means of preparing .their food, whereas the passengers who came direct 'from Hamburgh and other German ports were remark. ably healthy on the voyage and on arrival. In 133 vessels there was not a single death, nor a case of sick ness on arrival. The form of typhus, called ship fever, was not found in any vessel to the St. Lawrence during the year. With the exception of three ships from Lime rick that arrived early in May, there was no case of cholera in any vessel that brought emigrants to Canada. ►rhe'report contains several valuable suggestions for the eonveyance of the emigrants through the province. By Means of the Grand Trunk Railway Company a very ioerfect system will be organised, by which these passen• gors can be taken from one extremity of Canada to the bther in about 30 hours, instead of from 10 to 15 days kis at present, and with such arrangements as will give them every comfort suited to their station in life, and save them from every imposition to which they are now liable, especially in the routes through the United States. THE QUEEN OF TAHITI.—We read in the Courrier du Barre :—"lt is thought that Queen Pomare, during her sojourn in Paris, will reside with Mme. Bruat, with whom she formed an intimate friendship during the two or tbree years that Admiral Bruat commanded on the station of Oceanic , . Mine. Bruat had acquired a certain authority over the Queen by her intelligence, her edu cation, and her knowledge of the world, but neverthe less, says the uncle of that lady, my niece could never prevail on the fantastic sovereign to adopt the use of shoes and stockings. She wore the dresses sent from Paris and the handsome head-dresses given her by Mme. Bruat, but she walked about the salon bare-footed. I -THE CHOLERd.—Within the past • fortnight 10 or 12 Oases of cholera have occurred at Gorebridge, thian, most of which have proved fatal, " The monsoons in the Indian Ocean, extending from the latitude of Aden to 8 deg. or 10 deg. S., blowing always within a point or two of N.E. or S.W., according to season, make a constant moderately favourable wind, so far as they extend, for vessels sailing either to or front Australia, taking Aden as the station for arrival or de parture. The winds prevailing further south in the In dian Ocean and those of the Australian continent gener ally do not present any difficulty to sailing either course, and it will be admitted by navigators that the route pro posed is free from most of the dangers to be encountered* in the English and Irish Channel and round Cape Horn in the winter and spring months, where hard gales, ice, fogs, risk of collision, or lee shores ghost the way in the long dreary nights. " The route proposed shows a saving in distance of 3,500 miles over the one via the Cape of Good Hope, or that by way of Panama, and of 1,100 miles over the late route via Aden, Ceylon, Singapore, &c. It will also accommodate the whole European as well as the British traffic with the colonies. " Four sailing vessels would be required to carry out a monthly communication to and from Australia ; also one steam-vessel to run between Marseilles and Alex andria, and another between Suez and Aden (the navi gation of the Red Sea being difficult for sailing ships, owing to the winds prevalent there), unless arrange ments could be made with the directors of companies whose steam-vessels are now running on the stations re ferred to. "A few shipowners having eligible vessels, by forming themselves into a company, taking shares according to the value of their respective ships, or four or five capi talists, by joining in hiring the necessary tonnage, could place the matter in working order almost immediately, as from the advantages it offers to the public and pro inciters it would be found to rest on a sound commercial basis.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " THOMAS W.

THE SUPPRESSION OF LOTTERIES IN SALFORD.—The seven men, described a few weeks ago as having been bound over by the magiistrates to take their trial for holding public lotteries, surrendered at the Salford Quarter Sessions, on Saturday morning. The indict ments charged them with keeping an unlawful lottery, and with conspiracy to defraud. The defendants with drew their pleas of Not . Guilty, and the chairman of the sessions directed the jury to find the defendants Guilty, upon the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth counts of the in-, dictment, charging them with holding a lottery. The counsel for the prosecution having stated that the autho rities did not wish to punish the defendants, but simply to vindicate the law, so as to suppress the lotteries, the chairman said the Court would be satisfied by the de fendants entering into their own recognisances of 201. each to appear and receive judgment if called upon. NEW RIFLE BALL.—We last week stated that Mr. Russell, of the firm of Buxton and Russell, Duke-street, Sheffield-moor, had invented a new rifle ball, with the design of removing the great drawback found in the use of the Minie rifle, namely, " leading up," owing to the lead coming in contact with the barrel of the rifle ; and that the merits of the ball were being tested under the direction of Government. On Saturday last a trial of the ball was made, under the inspection of Major Strata benzie, of the third West York Militia, at Rawson's meadows, Wadsley, in a field belonging to Mr. Wood, .wbo granted the use of it for the occasion. Trial firing was. practised by a detachment of the Third West York Militia, and the ball was found very destructive at 300 yards distance. This, however, was not considered by Major Straubenzie to be a fair trial of the ball, inas much as it was found that the men had been firing with old blank cartridge powder, and not with the service powder, with which it is fully anticipated that the ball will be found efficient at 600 yards. One fact, however, was proved beyond doubt, that the ball thoroughly cleaned the gun at each discharge, and altogether re- • moved the objection to the Minieball. Another trial, with the service powder, is to be'''made on Monday.— Sheffield Examiner. . . CORONER'S INQUEST.—VERDICT of MANSLAUGHTER. —On Monday Mr. Carter held an inquest to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Caroline Yarwood, aged 45, who was killed on Thursday last through the falling of some timber from a vehicle called a " trolly," the same being at the time in the charge of a young man named Robert Bishop, a driver in the em ploy of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne. It appeared from the evidence that the " trolly " was loaded with three large wa!rut-trees, which were to be taken into the yard of Mr. Eades, timber merchant, Bear-lane, Blackfriars. The trees, however, being forked at the ends, and wider than the gateway, the carriage was unable to pass. Two of the limbs were therefore sawn off, to effect which the ropes and chains which secured the timber had to be re moved. While some parties were carrying the limbs into the yard, Bishop the driver, for some season or other, drove away towards Gravel-bne. Mr. Neal, foreman to Mr. Eades, immediately called to the driver to stop, but in a few seconds one of the trees being with out any fastening to retain it on the " trolly," fell to the ground, carrying one of the others with it. One of the trees fell on the deceased and killed her instantly. A. little girl was also knocked down but sustained no in jury. It was stated that although the roadway in Bear lane is in a shameful condition, and dangerous for tim ber carts, the accident would not have happened had the walnut-trees been properly secured ; and as Bishop, the driver, had admitted to a policeman that it arose from his having neglected to fasten the timbers before he started, the jury returned a verdict of « Manslaughter . againfit Itobero3ishop.,", lk
