" The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,' and Nledteal 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 needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that' which the quacks most prize— much money.... —This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhma, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis.

NAVAL AND MILITARY IIVTELITO:ENCE: The St. George, 120, screw, Captain Codrington, is in Sheerness basin. Her poop has now entirely disap peared. .She,will - now mount two Lancaster guns, one aft and one forward, in lieu of the small- guns she for merly mounted. The Majestic, 80, screw, Captain Hope, C. 8., is in No. 3 dry dock at Sheerness. Her crew are still on leave, but what are not are hulked on board the Mino taur. Her mainmast is under repair at Wool wich. The engineering - department will be the means of detaining her in port some time. The Cressy, 80, screw steam -line-of-battle ship, was ordered to be put out of dry dock "at Sheernets yester day, which could not be effected in consequence of the low state of the flood tide. If possible she will, go out to-day, and immediately after the blocks have been ar ranged fiir her the new screw steam-corvette the Pylades will be taken into the same dry dock (No. 1), for cop- Tiering, &c. This corvette is progressing in her fitment by the late crew olthe Desperate, most of whom are at present on leave of. absence. The Russell, 60, now in No. 2 dry dock at Sheerness, will be ready to leave in two or three days. She is ordered to be stted with all possible despatch. . _ The Arrogant, 47; screw, Captain Yelverton, is taking out a portion of her machinery. It will be at least a month before she will be ready for sea. The klelami3us, 42, is nearly ready for leaving the basin at Sheerness. •She has entered some very flue fellows, and she is destined for Constantinople, there to remain as a depot for provisions, stores, &c., for the use of the DNA Sea fleet. - The Amphion, 34, screw steam-frigate, has bad her old boilers taken. out, and active preparations are going on for prepafing to put new boilers into her, and get her ready for sea with all possible-despatch. Pylade's, 20, screw, Captain D'Eyncourt, is in Sheer ness basin. Her lower masts are stepped, and the tops and rigging over the masthead ; her boilers are nearly bedded, and to-day (Friday), when the Cressy hauls out of No. 1, this vessel will haul in, to finish the pro peller, &c. Desperate, 8, screw, is still moored over on the west shore at Sheerness ; she flies the pennant again ; her machinery is most defective, and she will require to be docked. Oberon, '3, iron paddle, has now altered her rig to a schooner, which becomes her much. A month since she was rigged as a brig, with masts and spars heavy enough for the Penelope, and very nearly turned turtle in the steam basin. She will now be safe, and a fast and efficient vessel. Ye sterday the screw-steamer Pioneer completed load ing at the IrQngate Wharf, TOwer ; she has on board.a miscellaneous cargo of " comforts and necessaries, the voluntary contributions of the-public for the army in the Crimea, altogetherAbout.7oo tons. The vessel is to sail, to-morrow for 13alaklava. Feliza, of Bristol, Captain Teare, sailed front Sb e er . ness on Wednesday in ballast for Cardiff, where sho will load coals for Malta for the British Government. She is a smart vessel, and well adapted for the purpose, and will bring home a cargo of Italian oak for some of our yards. Selma, of Dantzic, Captain Rash, has discharged her deck-load of timber and part of her masts ih the river. She is going into Sheerness basin, where she will dis charge the remainder. tions to which the Government intend . :to send militia to take the place of the regiments of the line. A considerable number at onceintimated tlie.ir readiness to do so. constituents when he told them that the war was begun . o a behalf o f " o p presse d na ti ona li t i es. " Th e y steadily answered " No," and his appeal to the opinion of Lerd Dudley Stuart could extract from them no other an serer ; but when he said the war was for the sake of resisting Russian encroachreents on Turkey he was met with cries of " That is it !" Here, then,-he was fixed with the true question. But how did he deal,with it ! Austria aril Prussia did not go to war, he Said ; had you waited ' fdr them to resist the Czar you would have gained ail yell wanted without expenditure of. blood and trea sure. Hei:e is the true support on which the EmPeror of Russia leant. Prussia, doubtless,. he said to himself, will not move without Austria, Austria without France, France without England, and'England. without this sup pert of all united. Each country can give excellent reasons why the others should take the dangers and the mkt upon themselves. The rats all feir the cat, but who will put the bell round her neck The Czar doubtless, expected that Eurdpe would act as Mr. Cob den thinks she ought to have acted—that each State would have made her neighbour's valour the measu r eof her own, or rather sheltered her own cowardice behind their hackwardnese. Here, again, is an appeal to' the meanest feelings of the mind:--selfishness and indolence —the desire to put off till to-morrow what should be done to-day, and to shift upon ourneighboues those dales which devolve upoe ourselves ean appeal applicable to every war waged in defence_ of public principles from the beginning of the world to the present day. Nextcomeethe proposition that a majority of the subjects of the Sultan is favour able to the Czar, proved by the assertion ; that the Greeks have everywhere evinced Russian tendencies—ae if the Christians inhabiting Turkey were GeeekS, or as if the danger from the ,encroachments of Russia would be less, and the necessity of interference to stop it less urgent, because the Emperor of. Russia, with sinister objects in view, as Mr. Cobden himself says—with objects in view inoompatible with the independence of. Europe, as we say—has enlisted the supporteef eight millions of the snbjecte of the Sultan. Another irrelevant topic is the question of what we are to do when the war is over, and how we are to regulate the affairs of Turkey. We shall doubtless so regulate them as to check the encroachments of Russia, the real 'object of the war ; as Mr. Cobden himself says, we trust we may also secure the reorganisation of Turkey ; but even if this were impossible, it, would afford no good reason against a war not undertaken principally for this purpose. We need not dwell on Mr. Cobden's remarks on the expedition to the Crimea, because they also are irrelevant to the question of peace or war. Whatever be the hardships suffered by our array, the strength of the nation is not broken, nor her spirit subdued. We have in our bands the means of success, and nothing has occurred, or is likely to occur, which should induce us to abate one jot of the requirements on compliance, .with which we are ready to negotiate for peace. Mr. Cobden says thatan honourable peace is possibly, or even probably, within our reach. We desire no more ; but, if this is all that he asks, why does he appeal to our avarice, our sel fishness, our cowardice,—to every mean and ignoble pasCion of the human mind, when he has nothing to do but to point out to us the way to so desirable an object I If Mr. Cobden is really counselling us to base retractations and dishonourable compliances, to the be trayal of the alliances we have made, and the abandon. ment of the noble position we have taken up, we can quite understand the employment of such topics ; but if the course he recommends be honourable as well as safe, we confess their employrieent is to u utterly incompre hensible. The termination of Mr. Cobden's speech is as irrelevant as the commencement. He denies our right to resist Russian aggression, because in the che quered history of 800 years we have been guilty of ag gression ourselves—an argument which, if good for any thing, would preclude us not only from offensive but from defensive war. We have dwelt upon the irrelevancy of the topics of this speech at such length that we have left our selves little room to expatiate upon their inconsis tency. We are recommended to seek peace by agree ing to a resolution which would state in effect that we are weary of war, and thus encourage our enemy to raise his demands. We are told that two-thirds of the subjects of the Sultan are in favour of the Czar, and yet that the Czar is unequal to any offensive move ment. And ) what is worse,thaniirrelevancy or consist ency, this great and courageous nation, which never quailed before a foe nor shrank from the side of a friend, is actually advised to quit her present position and policy, and take for her model the shallow and temporising expedients which are fast degrading Prussia from the rank of a great Power, and excluding her from the position she has hitherto held in the councils of con federate Europe. PROMOTIONS, Clerks—William E. L. Veale (1347), recently serving in the Minden ; John Freshfield (1847), serving in the Wellesley ; Henry W. Arlidge (1847), recently serving in the Caradoc ; and Hugh F. Pullen (1847,) have been promoted to be paymasters. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants—Richard Horner (1854), to the Pene lope, 16, paddle, at Portsmouth ; and James B. Grove (1854), to the Nile, 21, screw, at Devonport. Acting Assistant Surgeons—John W. Brown (1853), recently serving in the Dragon, to Haslar Hospital,' and George Carr to the Dragon, 6, paddle, at Cromarty. Naval Cadets—D. E. K. Grant to the Hogue, 60,. screw, at Portsmouth ; J. W.

SERVICE MORTAR, A further trial of the sea service mortar, weighing more than 5 tons, throwing a 13-inch shell of 2001 b. weight, with a charge of 201 b. of powder, fitted on the principle proposed by Captain Julius Roberts, of the Royal Marine Artillery, has .taken place at Shoebury-: ness, in the presence of several scientific officers connect ed with the service. This trial has fully established the use of this mortar (fitted as it is) for batteries, trenches, or any land fortifications, as well as' afloat. Twenty rounds were fired most successfully, and in every respect satisfactorily ; the former inefficiency of the muzzle lashing-straps having been effectually remedied, 40 seconds only being required to load and fire each shell. It was found, after 20 rounds, that the body ef the mortar was not in the least heated by tb, quick firing. COURT MARTIAL. A general court martial has been held at Woolwich upon private Pierce Farrall, alias Thomas Boulger, of the 106th company of the Woolwich Division of Royal Marines, upon the charges of deserting from the Royal Marines and enlisting into the East India Company's Artillery, and also for having struck a sergeant of Marines. The result of the court•martial has been for warded to the Admiralty. • SHIPS AT SHEERNESS. The following ships put into Sheernesg during the gale (blowing from the north-east, with a heavy fall of snow) :—Tbe Eliza, of London, John Aynsley master, from London for Sunderland, having put back from South-West Reach, in the East Swin, with loss of one Lower anchor and 26 fathoms of chain cable ; the Agrees Emily; of Newcastle, William May master, from Leigh for Newcastle, with loss of one bower anchor and 75 fathoms of chain cable ; the Mentor, of Seaton Sluice, John Forster master, from London for Shields, with loss of one bower anchor and 75 fathoms of chain cable. Thubrig Williams, of Blyth, George Taylor master, from London for Blyth, put into Sheerness, wind-bound, from the Warp, without loss. MISCELLANEOUS. The total number of regular transports now in the employ of Government is 181 0 ; one-third of the number is propelled by steam power ; they have, altogether, the measurement of about 114,600 tons. The Colonel Commandant of the garrison at Sheer ness has received orders to prepare barrack fitments for 400 newly-raised men in the artillery corps. The . new barracks are being appropriated for them, and they are to take possession of their new quarters this day. They are sent from the depot at Woolwich for drill ; there will be snore than 400 rank and file in garrison at Sheernesp. On the arrival of the sick and wounded troops at Liverpool, on Monday, the Mayor (Mr. J. A. Tobin) supplied them with new shirts and sheeting at his own expense. _ _ The Loire, chartered screw, left Southampton docks yesterday morning with wines, provisions, &c., for the Crimea. The American clipper ship White Falcon, char tered by the French Government for the conveyance of yooden houses, put into the inner dock at S o uthampton esterday morning. She will commence loading as speedily as possible. The Swiftsure, sailing transport, is fast filling with huts, and will soon be ready to depart for the Crimea. Her Majesty's ship Himalaya is now lying in the graving-dock at Southampton, having her screw repaired. She will not be ready for sea for a fortnight. The Severn, chartered transport, will be ready to receive troops on Sunday, and will, we understand, depart on Tuesday. Messrs. Copeland and Barnes are supplying her stores. The Crcnsus, screw-transport, will be in readi ness for sea on the 28th inst. MILITARY. The main body of the 82d Regiment arrived at Liverpool yesterday at noon, from Preston, where they had remained in consequence of the appearance of the smallpox among the troops. The cases were few and trivial, and the malady was speedily cured. The regi ment is 670 strong, and is attended by the following, among other officers :—Lieut.-Colonol Robinson, Major Watson, Captains Marriott, Isaacs, Gordon, Daley, Collins, Barren, Wood, Holiday ; Lieut. Biggs, Scc. They proceeded to the Exchange area, and while the officers were partaking of a champagne luncheon with the Mayor in the Town-hall, the troops were supplied with hot ale and rum. In the afternoon the troops marched to the landing -stage, and were expeditiously embarked on board the Bahiana, which is expected to proceed to sea this morning. Sh e w ill s t eam di rec t t o Corfu, where the 8 2d will relieve the 71st, which regi ment will be immediately conveyed by the Bahiana to the Crimea. THE MILITIA. Yesterday the summonses were issued for the whole of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates belonging to the 3d or Royal Westminster Regiment of Light Infantry,. Middlesex Militia, Colonel Viscount Chelsea, M.P., to muster on the 6th of February, at the head-quarters, Turnhant-green, to be embodied for permanent duty. The 2d Regiment of Derby Militia is about to be formed ; it is understood that Lord Burlington will bo appointed the colonel. Major Blomfield has joined the staff of the South Tip perary Artillery Militia Regiment in Cahir ; and the Earl of Donoughmore was expected to arrive in Clonmel on Tuesday last, to embody the regiment, which is, for the present, to he stationed in the artillery barracks in that town. His lordship formerly held a commission in her Majesty's 93th Regiment, and served with that corps in China, under the command of the gallant Sir Colin Campbell. On Wednesday the men of the West Essex Militia, now embodied for permanent service and under active training at Chelmsford, were mustered and addressed by Colonel-Commandant_Brise, as to their willingness to volunteer for garrison duty at Malta or the other eta- THE INDIA CIVIL SERVICE.

" JAMES C. 111ELITILL, Secretary." THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF DINING IN PARIS. Yesterday the Socidtd de Gastronomic, of which M. Emile de Girardin is a leading member, opened their monster restaurant, the Diner de l'Expositioe, in the Rues Lopelletier and Laffitte. The directors of the " Grand Exhibition Dinner" are not the inventors of a new system. They inerely profess to improve upon a re cent experiment, which has been attended with great success. It is very possible that, as in the case of gunpowder, the steam-engine, and numerous other great discoveries, the credit of the invention may be given to those whose names are associated with its universal diffu sion, while the real inventors are forgotten. In the course of last summer one of the many journalists whose °coup- Akin was gone in consequence of the greet political revolu tion of 1851, out of the abundance of his leisure and men tal activity, conceived the idea of a dining establishment upon a scale never before attempted, which should com bine the advantages of a table d'hote with those of a restaurant, at a fixed price. He was a man of small capital, but ho had faith in his project, and found friends to supply him with money to carry it out. You must have heard of the Diner de Paris, on the Boule vard, at the corner of the Passage Jouffroy, the first restaurant of the kind in question ever opened in Paris. This-retired journalist was the founder of this establishment. He started from premises something like these. The conveniences of a table d'hote are a variety of well-cooked dishes, a handsome, well-warmed, well-lighted, and well-ventilated dining-room, and the cheerful buzz of society at the very moment in the 24 hours at which mankind is most disposed to be cheerful, combined with a moderate rate of payment. The incon yeaiences are the fixed hour, and the necessity to a cer tain extent laid upon you of snaking acquaintance, how ever slight, with the strangers who may happen to sit near you. At the restaurants, at a fixed price, which have long abounded in Paris, a dinned' at a moderate— often at a very cheap rate, selected at pleasure from an infinitely varied bill of fare, may be had at any reasonable hour. But the frequenters of such places too well know that, when soup, fish, entries, hors-d'oeuvres, roasts, game, vegetables, salads, desserts, and wine, are given for 2 francs, the stomach has small rejoicing when all is ueallowed. Even if the viands may not be of second or third-rate quality (as for the most part they are) they must of necessity, in the majority of instances, be spoilt by overcooking, because the cook who is expected to have everything in season always ready can never tell when any particular dish may be called for. The main idea of the Diner de Paris was to have but one bill of fare for the day, as at a table d'hote, but to have, during the ordinary dining hours, a constant succession of the same series of dishes. The bill of fare was conspicuously posted up at the door, so that every customer might pause at the threshold if he saw anything prima facie not pleasing to him, arid a promise was made that a first-class cook, whose attention would not be dis tracted by sudden calls for any dish that a man might fancy out of a list of three hundred, would send up to table nothing but the best things of the season, and these cooked to a nicety as if ordered for a fixed hour. The new system pleased the Parisians. All last summer the vast saloons of the Diner de Paris were thronged with diners at 31 francs each, which price included a bottle of via ordinaire, or half a bottle of better quality. The success of the parent establishment speedily encouraged speculators to start others of a similar kind. Within the last few months we have seen the Diner de Com merce, the Diner Europaen, the Diner Universal, and some others, all rather cheaper than the Diner de Paris, and at the same time as good, or nearly so. Now comes M. de Girardin's scheme for dining the well-to-do million on the same system, but on a much grander scale. His argument is this. There are in Paris thousands of na tives and foreigners who dine daily or frequently at first class restaurant, where, without any particular luxury, they spend 15 francs for their dinner. If we can, by a grand combination a nd j u di c i ous ou tl a y o f ca pit a l, give this class of society the same dinner for 5f., shall we not surely attract them to our tablet Such is the substance s'r s PreeiDeCtUS circulated in Paris for,some months past. An important part of the project is that the undertaking is divided into shares, at the low rate of 25f. a share. The directors offered the tempting terms of a free ticket for one dinner to every shareholder; and a contract to take the shares at par (in dinners) whenever the holder might wish to eat them out. The opening of this giant estab lishment has been postponed from time to time, and people began to think it would never open at all. A few days ago the 25f. shares were at 15 discount, and many fortunate purchasers are now proceeding to eat five splen did diinners for the ridiculously small sum of 10f. Yes terday it was positively announced that the Exhibition dinner -would open at four o'clock. The two entrances were besieged by long queues of people long before the hour. A formidable footman, in gorgeotre livery, six feet high, maid 4,000 people had dined, and that there was not a !mingle vacant place in the establishment. Having obtain ed admission into a gorgeous saloon, covering an area sic least as jarge as that of Lincoln's-i nn H a ll, a ft er waiting a few rEoments an elegant chamberlain, in black with :a golden chain, found me a seat on a velvet cushioned chair. Dinner was served with extraordinary regularity. Every dish was perfect in its kind, and quite hot. A. very hungry man might perhaps have ob jected that there was a want of a " piece de resistance." The wine was excellent, but the grand feature of the thing is the miss en scene, the brilliant light, the num bers who sit comfortably without crowding, and, above all, that recommendation which the best restaurants in Paris want—geed ventilation. There are numbers of private rooms, and another public dining room upstairs. The waiters are elegant men, resembling "gentl e m en ' s gentlemen "of the first water. A little footman of 14, in smart livery, appeared to have nothing else to do but to touch his hat to corners and goers, and excited much amusement by the diligence with which he performed this duty. There were but few ladies present on account of the crowd, but after a few days they will doubtlest ap pear in great numbers. This afternoon the approaches to the monster temple of gourmandise were even more crowded than yesterday. MR. COBDEN 'P3. (Front the Daily News.) • The great meeting at Leeds, on 'We(' needay, was one of which the inhabitants of that Wiper least centre of in dustrial activity may well be proud. The attendance was so numerous that an adjournment to - the Cloth Hall Yard was found to be necessary. T be extraordinary exertions made by those who call them selves the friends of peace, to convert it into a deneoni oration in favour of their peculiar views, had been' so i 'ndefatigable as to excite a strong spirit of opposition. Y et the proceedings of this crowded and heterogeneous as isembly were cha racterised by an absence of headatror tg passion; and a calm, dispassionate, judicial. dignity, that were worthy of a senate. Mr. Cobden was listened - to with patience and respect. He was treated -by the:sp eskers opposed to him with that deference which his fore wr great services deserve. But the almost unanimous division against him showed that the judgment of the men of Leeds is not to be biassed or seduced ley person Si respect or plau sible sophistry. They have set a wort) iy example to the Legislature and the nation at large. ' rieey have shown that Englishmen know how to court rine unrestricted - freedom of discussion with dignified set f-respect. If the Russian Government possess any intelli Bence, they must be taught by the proceedings of Weds teaday, at Leeds, that the English people listen to all be foz•e they resolve, but are inflexible in their resolution win ence it is taken. The appearance made by Mr. Cobdei t is inexpressibly painful for those who cherish the recoil ,action of what he was when acting as the animating and directing spirit of the Anti-Corn Lew League, Then he , was inspired by a great idea which he fully comprehOy e lli; and which he struggled to realise by a rare mixture of - uncompromising firmness, unsurpassed tact, and unit stermitting good. temper. His views were broad and cos reprehensive; his arguments lucid, honourable, and strai ehtforward. But his Wednesday's speech was thrall& ;flout sophistical, shuffling, and low to its moral tone. Speaking of that small section of public opinion whit is denounces all war indiscriminately, Mr. Cobden said f :—"These gen tlemen themselves have never attempted to press their opinions upon the policy of this. country ; and I -must here state that they have been ere first 'to tell me to disavow participation in their do ctrines. I have been told by members of the Society cif Friends to dis avow their opinions, because they knew- I should lose all influence, by advocating their opinim as, on the public. mind." It is not true that these gentlemen have ab stained from pressing their opinions upon the policy of the country. Addresses have been circulated by them, sent .by post to almost every male adult of the United Kingdom. • We ourselves have received innumerable communications from them, threatening us with pecu niary loss if we persisted in the course we have pursued with regard to the war. They have desired Mr. Cobden to disavow their opinions, in order that he might retain his influence on the public mind, and accomplish their ends for them while pretending to aim for something else. And he has condescended to play their game ; en deavouring to persuade the nation to abstain from all war, under all circumstances, while affecting to recog nise that some wars might be justifiable. This is shuf fling, both on his part and on the part of the Society of Friends. Again, the unvaried tenour of Mr. Cob den's argisments against the war is based upon its being expeneiee. He fancies that if he can persuade the people that it will cost them much, he has said enough to induce them to desist from it. He appears to be in capable of conceiving that men can make pecuniary sacrifices for what they conceive to be just and honour able. This is sordid. Lastly, he unscrupulously per verted facts ; and, by mutilated quotations; attributed to others sentiments and opinions which they never en tertained or expressed. This is sophistical. Had Mr. Cobden retired from public life when the repeal of the Corn-laws was achieved, he would have carried with him the respect of all—even of opponents. He has lingered on the stage only to add one more illustration of the truth, that a man may be a successful agitator and yet totally disqualified for acting - as a legislator or states. man. We write in sorrow, net in anger. We write of a man whom we have loved, honoured, laboured for, as we have done for no other. We will endeavour hence forth to recollect only the Richard Cobden of the Anti- Vorn-law League, and forget what imperfectly-informed dogmatism and wayward vanity have reduced him to be. We are grateful for the good he has done ; we can for get and forgive the evil he has failed to do. Henceforth he is innocuous. We revert to a more pleasing subject —the general tone of the meeting. Mr. Baines said "He agreed that attack upon Sebastopol had been made by too small an army, and he thought the Government ought to have bad more information upon the subject than they seemed to have possessed." In this Mr. Baines spoke the versal sense of the country. We have not feared to run the risk of misconstruction in advccating mutual tole rance and national unity in the prosecution of the war. And this led us to demur to the earlier proposals for a change or rccomstruction of Ministry. But - " "time has shown that if tho war is to be prosecattrair honour able and beneficial termination, the risk of a reconstruc tion of the Ministry must be run. The same short-sighted indifferent spirit, that caused the war to be commenced in a trifling poo•curaute manner, still prevails among certain members of the administration. They are dallying with an earnest and perilous undertaking. The indulgence they have met with has only con firmed them in their faineantise. They asked and ob tained permission to raise and organise f ore i gn l e vi es , as the readiest manner to obtai▪ n seasoned soldiers for immediate service, and within these few days they had not made up their minds as to the section of the war de partment upon which the carrying that permission into effect should devolve. No effective steps have been taken to improve the organisati▪ on of the army and its auxiliary services. Nay worse, they are looking about for individuals in subord i nate stations upon whom they may throw the blame of failure, and thus avert it from themselves. Yesterday the Times p rocee d e d t 3 th e practical application of its recent pertinacious attacks upon Lord Raglan by declaring that the attempt to shield the generals by attacking the Ministers is simply ridiculous ;" and if well-vouched for reports be true, Sir C. Napier has been superseded. hi the command of the Baltic fleet. In its present state of information, the country will hesitate to come to a fi nal judgment on the 'powers which h e was invested, and the questions whether Sir Charles Napi er h as accompl i she d d under his orders ena bl ed him to do ? or fi w ale h le e tt t il h pa e ti r ate L hee with ord Raglan possesses the qualities of a Com mander-in-Chief, or, as some military authorities main tain, only those of a General of Division ?

The real subject of debate is whether it be expedient for us to put forth our strength to resist the further aggressions of Russia, and not to lay down our arms Until we have obtained a peace which shall se cure to us the objects for which we took the 1 113. Bear this steadily in mind, and then see how much of the four columns of our space which Mr. Cobden's speech occu pies was really applicable to the subject. Like a dex terous rhetorician, Mr. Cobden puts the most unpalat able topic first. We have undertaken an expensive en terprise, and must pay for it, in the disagreeable alter native of direct taxation, indirect taxation, or a loan. Mr. Cobden pronounces for direct taxation, and for an extension of its area. He must, We think, have been rather surprised to find that his audience did not wince from his proposition, and had not, as he seems to have supposed, gone to war without counting the cost. But what had this to do with the question as above •stated ? Expense is common to all w ars , be they wise or foolish, just or unjust. An orator who so earnestly disclaims the peace principles which he went to Frankfort to advocate five . years ago should not c on d escen d t o a topic which none but those friends of peace " who have lost all influence over prac tical minds" can consistently use.. The next topic is a mi,representation—the putting an absurdity into the mouth of his antagonist, and then triumphantly demo lishing it.--a piece of rhetorical legerdemain in which Mr. Cobden greatly delights.

The Chairtnah of the Consolidated Committee, who at the last court brought up a report recommending the • adoption of certain propositions, in answer to the _recom mendation o f th e comm i ss i oner s o f inquiry, moved— , " That the court proceed to the consideration of propo sition No. 1, That a new charter be issued, containing all such provisions in existing charters cf the corpora tion of London, and all such customs of the City, as it may be deemed expedient to preserve:" Mr. Ross Moved, and Mr. Stephenson seconded, as an amendment—" That the consideration of the report be adjourned, and that the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor be requested to convene an early court fer the purpose of taking the same into consideration." After an animated discussion, in the course of which the expediency or inexpediency of the postponement was 'canvassed, a show of hands was taken, when the antend ment was carried by a large majority. The court then divided, when there appeared—. In favour of the amendment . Against the amendment 2l - Majority in favour of the amendment 26 The LORD MAYOR—I shall name Tuesday next as the special day. on which the Subject of the report shall be considered. (gear, hear.) NEW CATTLE-MARKET, COrENHAGEN-PIELDS. Mr. YOUNG—I wish to ask my friend the chairman of the markets' improvement committee (Mr. H. L. Taylor) a very important question to 'the graziers and farmers— namely, whether any day has yet been fixed for the opening of the new cattle-market ? The public are very much alive to the question, and the graziers, farmers, and salesmen in general are quite in the dark upon the subject._ fir. H. L. TAYLOR—My Lord Mayor, I conceive this question to be one of importance not only to this court, but also to the public at large. No doubt information has gone abroad that we purposed opening the market on the 26th of this month. Ntw, it should be under stood that the corporation have not the power of fixing the day for opening the market. That matter rests ex clusively with the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Home department. We did hope and yet hope to be ready for the opening on the 26th, sufficiently ready for the business to be carried on. At the prevent mo ment we have before the Home Secretary our rules and regulations, which have to be perused and sanctioned by his lordship previous to his determination as to the now market ; and it would be well, perhaps, that I should n.ad to the court the clause in the act of Parliament which gives his lordship the power of fixing the day. It is the 10th cl ause o f th e act under which we are, build ing the new market, and it says : " When the commissioners have provided the market places, slaughterhouses, and conveniences hereinbefore authorised to be provided, and fixed such table of tolls and payments as aforesaid, and appointed the market days, and done all other acts which may appear to them neces sary previously to the opening of the said market-places and slaughterhouses, they shall report to one of her Ma jesties principal secretaries of State what they have done concerning the premises, and shall annex to such report a copy of the table sif tolls and payments fixed as aforesaid. And it shall be lawful for such Secretary of State to fix a time for the opening of the said markets and sliughter. houses; and by a notice under his hand, to be published in the London Gazette, to notify that such market-places and slaughterhouses have been provided, and the time when the same will be opened; and that from the time so mentioned Smithfield-market will cease to be a market for the sale of cattle and horses ; and from and after the time mentioned in such notice Smithfield-market shall cease to ba a market for the sale of cattle or horses, and markets for the sale olcattle, horses, and meat shall be holden in the respective places under this ad ; and such markets shall be deemed to be public markets ; and a new market for the, sale of cattle or horses shall be opened in the City of London or Westminster, or tae liberties thereof, or the borough of Southwark, or at any place distant loss than seven miles in a straight line from St. Paul's C a th e d ra l, i n the City of London.' , I may take this opportunity of stating, that looking at the magnitude of the task undertaken by the committee, with the assistance of an able and efficient officer, the architect, no work of equal magnitude has been brought SO near its completion in the same space of time as that in which we have embarked. (Hear, hear.) I think that the greatest possible credit is due to the architect for producing such a magnificent building as the new cattle market : and I hope that the members of the corpora tion will themselves take the opportunity of inspecting the works as they are progressing, when I am sure they will be satisfied, not only that the committee have done their duty, but they will be enabled to form an estimate of the merit belonging to the chief officer, who has been carrying them out. (Hear.) Mr. YOUNG—liave you done all that is required by the act Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—The rules and regulations are before the Home secretary, and he has to appoint the day. We have not called to see his lordship upon the subject, and until we have been we shall not know the day. Deputy LOTT—WiII the chairman of the committee inform the court what sum the market has cost in round numbers up'to this time ? Mr: H. L. TAYLOR-All I can say is, that at present we have not spent more money than has been authorised by the court. I have no doubt that the court will know quite soon enougk when additional money will be re quired. (Laughter.) Mr. MusßELL—About what will have been the pro bable cost when it is finished Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—That will depend entirely, as my friend must well know, upon the works carried out. We may oarry them out to any extent, but they wilt depend entirely upon the orders of the court. LONDON CORPORATION REFORM WARD OF FARRINGDON-WITHOUT. Last evening a meeting of the inhabitants of this ward. was held in the New Court, Old Bailey, at six o'clock, for the purpose of discussing the question of corporate reform for the City of London, as proposed by the con solidated committee of the Court of Common Council. The chair was occupied by Sir James Duke, M.P., alderma❑ of the ward. The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the proceedings, Mr. TouLmirr SMITH proceeded to address the meeting in a speech of very great length, in the course of which he commented upon and analysed the propositions recommended by the consolidated committe. Amongst these he particularly denounced the following recom mendations :—" That a new charter be issued, contain ing all such provisions in existing charters of the cor poration of London, and all such customs of the City, as it may be deemed expedient to preserve ; that the Lord Mayor be elected by the Common Council, from the common councillors, or from persons qualified to be common councillors ; that the aldermen be elected by the burgesses of the wards for six years, and be re eligible, and that they be justices of the peace during their term of office ; that the powers of the Municipal Corporations Act with respect to the appointment of stipendiary magistrates be extended to the corporation of London'; that the Court of Aldermen be abolished, and that its functions be transferred to the Common Council ; that the number of wards be reduced to some number not less than twelve, nor greater than sixteen; that each ward return one alderman and five common councilmen to the Common Council, and that their qualification be that prescribed by the Municipal Corporation Act for the larger class of boroughs—namely, the possession of an , or a t the b ei electionsng rat e d i non Co mmon rannua l ealor personal u o e n o a f l a c t s t l a e t a e s t o 3 f 0 1 1. 00 ; O t / h . Hall be abolished ; that the sheriffs be elected by the Common Council ; that the fellowship of porters be dissolved ; that the admission of brokers by the Court of Aldermen be abolished ; and that the City police be incorpor a t e d w i th the metropolitan police." The learned gentleman concluded by mo v i ng the following resolu tion :—" That this ward meeting views with surprise the inconsistency between the contents of a report of the consolidated committee of the Common Council, dated the 13th December, 1854, and those of a report of a committee of the whole court, dated 22d Februvy, 1854, and which last was agreed to by that coed on the 24th February, 1854 ; and this ward meeting considers the suggestions contained in last-named report to be, for the meet part, sound in principle, constitutional in charac ter, and practical in detail." The resolution was seconded by Mr. SMUT. Mr. QUIRK and Mr. lIEBAPATH moved the following amendment to the original resolution : —" That this ward meeting request their representatives - in the Court of Common Council to give their cordial and steady support to the proposed alterations in the corporation as con tained in the report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the Corporation in 1853, and in the report of the consolidated committee of the cor poration, reported to the Court of Common Council Dec. 20, 1854." In the course of a lengthened discussion, Mr. Potter supported the original resolution ; whilst the amendment was approved of by Mr. Gresham, Mr. Masterman, Mr. Acland, who ridiculed the idea of leaving the and cor poration to reform itself, as, he insisted, was the course contended for by the proposer and seconder of the origi nal resolution. Mr. SRELEY, in explanation, denied th a t h e was fa vourable to the idea of allowing the corporation to reform itself. He was anxious for the intervention of legisla tion on the subject, and therefore preferred, as the basis the recommendatio n s o f th e whole nee Court te that o of Common Council, rather than those of a com mittee legislation,t tb e . After a brief reply from Mr. SMITH, The CHAIRMAN put the question to the meeting, when, on a show of hands, there appeared—for the amend ment 35, for the original motion 23. The amendment was accordingly declared carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings,
