ON TRUE and I FALSE SPERATATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. - Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct. London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than •to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' Is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES. — After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be ent rely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle.

Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

By advices from Madeira and Cadiz we have re ceived the following particulars of the movements of her Majesty's Royal yachts and the arrival of the Empress of Austria at Cadiz from Madeira :—On Tuesday, the 23d of April, the officers of the British squadron in Funchal Roads and his Royal High ness the Duke of Oporto, Captain-General of the Portuguese Navy, had the honour of dining with the Empress of Austria at her palace on the island. On the 24th the officers of her Majesty's yachts Victoria and Albert and Osborne, and her Majesty's steamer Argus, played a match at cricket with English gentlemen resident on the island, and after a lengthened contest, were beaten by the islanders. The day was oppressively hot, and there were occasionally tremendous showers of rain. On the following day it blew a fresh breeze from the south-west. At three p.m. her Majesty the Em press proceeded on board the Portuguese corvette Bartolomeo Diaz, and partook of luncheon with his Royal Highness the Duke of Oporto, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman being honoured with an in vitation to meet the Empress. Royal salutes were fired as her Majesty embarked and disembarked from the Bartolomeo Diaz by the batteries on shore, from the corvette, and from her Majesty's steamer Argus, the several ships being dressed out from deck to truck in coloured bunting ; yards were manned, and the scene, under the glowing April sun tempered by a pleasant breeze, was most in spiriting. The same evening, at seven o'clock, her Majesty's steamer Cossack, 20, screw, Captain R. Moorman, arrived in Funchal Roads from England, on her way to the Cape of Good Hope, and an hour later her Majesty's ship Isis, Capt. Barnard, arrived from England, on her way to Ascension. On the following morning the British Consul paid a visit to the fleet, and received the usual salute of seven guns. At 230 p.m. the Duke of Oporto paid a visit to the Victoria and Albert, and was received at the gangway by Capt. the Hon, Joseph Denman, by whom the officers of the yacht were introduced to his Royal Highness. Royal salutes were fired and yards manned by the batteries and ships of war on his Royal Highness going on board the yacht and returning from her. On the 27th of April, at 8 p.m., a gun being fired as a signal, the Victoria and Albert made a grand pyrotechnic dis- play in the bay. The Austrian colours, on a gigan tic scale, were first displayed,.and followed by a magnificent flight of coloured rockets. Then suc ceeded the Portuguese colours, which, to judge by the vigour of the cheers and vivas on shore, raised he excitement of the islanders to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Rockets of large size followed, ascending to an immense height. A Royal salute was then given by 21 discharges of mortar-rockets. On Sunday morning, the 28th, her Majesty the Empress of Austria and suite, comprising the fol lowing :—Princess Windischgratz, Princess Taxis, and Countess Hunyady, Ladies in Waiting ; Count Nobile, Master of the Household ; Count Nietrow sky, Lord Chamberlain ; Count Hunyady, Master of Horse; Count Hohenstein and Count Tra- pezy, Couriers ; Rev. Dr. Hasel, Chaplain ; Dr. Kurmar, Physician ; and Councillor Bayer, em- barked on board the Victoria and Albert, accom- panied by the Governor of Madeira and a host of high functionaries. Her Majesty was received by Captain Denman and his officers, with the officers of British ships of war in the roads, and by the hearty cheers of the yacht's crew, which she warmly acknowledged. The usual Royal salutes were fired from batteries and shipping, and the latter were covered with streamers of every hue. An hour later the Duke of Oporto paid his farewell visit to her Majesty, and at 1.30 the Victoria and Albert was steaming out of Funchal Roads with her Imperial freight, followed by the Osborne, Argus, and Bar tolomeo Diaz, the latter with the Duke of Oporto on board, and which after a few hours was hull down, owing to the superior speed of the Victoria and Albert. The yacht reached Cadiz on the Tues day following at 9 a.m. Shortly after the yacht anchored the Count and Countess Crivelli, ac companied by the Captain-General of the-port, paid a visit to the Empress. The Empress was expected to proceed to Seville to meet the Queen of Spain, and to leave Cadiz again about the 7th of May for Gibraltar. The Adventure, screw troopship, Commander E. Lacy, pays off her crew, and hauls down the pen dant at Portsmouth on Friday, The Sparrowhawk, 5, screw, Commander Byng, is reported to do so on Monday next. The Griper gunboat, Lieutenant-Commander S. Keats, tender to the Cornwallis, has left Sheerness for Hull, to resume her position at that port. The Star, 4, steam despatch vessel, has arrived at Sheerness from Woolwich, and taken up her position in the third-class steam reserve. The Phaeton, 51, screw steam frigate, 400 horse power (fitted with one of Smith's common screws, with the leading edges cut off), was taken out of Sheerness harbour yesterday for the purpose of testing her machinery and speed. The vessel was in charge of Capt. Schomberg, chief of the steam reserve at Sheerness, and of Mr. Price, inspector of machinery afloat. Although both the wind and tide were against the vessel, the trial was pro nounced very satisfactory, and was attended with the following results :--Draught of water forward, 18ft. 6in. ; aft., 21ft. 2in. ; mean revolutions, 66; vacuum, 251 ; mean speed, 12 knots. Her Majesty's 6-gun paddlewheel steam sloop Driver, commissioned at Woolwich, was yesterday docked in preparation for sea. After a thorough examination she will be again floated on Friday, and will be supplied with her sea stock, her depar ture having been ordered without delay. The Driver is the first ship appointed to form a portion of the naval force about to be despatched to the Atlantic for the protection of the shipping during the conti nuation of the war now•threatening between the Southern and Northern States of America. Her new commander, Horatio Nelson (1857), yesterday took up his commission, his pennant having been previously hoisted by Mr. Patterson, master, in the absence of the commander. The whole of the crew, 170 in number, yesterday volunteered for the Driver from the flagship Fisgard in the course of a single hour, and were Falotted to the receiving hulk Hebe for tran3fer on Friday. The commander and officers already joined will take up their berths immediately on the ship floating out of dock. Her departure:is expected during the ensuing week. Mr. Patterson, a convalescent from 11 wounds received from the Chinese forts while serving in the Weasel, has re ceived a notification to the effect that he will not be required to proceed in the Driver, but will be reap pointed to the flagship Fisgard. An Admiralty order was yesterday transmitted to the Commodore Superintendent at Woolwich, intimating that a second paddlewheel vessel of the same class as the Driver should be put forward for the same service, to be proposed by the Commodore, as well as a pro portion of six gunboats, the other ships necessary to constitute the force to be fitted out at Chatham, Portsmouth, &c. The Arethusa, 51, converting ;from a sailing - ship to a screw steamer, at Chatham, is ordered, when r received completed, to be sent to the steam basin a t o to be fitted with her machinery an d engineseved of at .so othe ordnance horse of 5 6 guns, e cwt. ach each, of 65 6 9 sfeet department ui.' fo l ; e b e fol lowing armament to be put on board her, viz.: -- 10 cwt. nhe and le 9 s in length feeltenignle; s of length 22 6 45 feet 6 inches in length ; and one cwt. swivel gun, 10 feet in length.

The Rinaldo, 17, screw, was commissioned at Portsniouth on Monday for Commander Hewett, V.C., who joined yesterday. Eighty ordinary seamen and firstclass lads from the flagship Fisgard are ordered to be despatched from Woolwich to Sheerness for service on board the screw steam corvette challenger, 22, recently launched at Woolwich, and commissioned by Captain Kennedy for sea. The following ships have been taken up by the War Department for the transport of military stores from Woolwich for stations in the British possessions abroad, viz, -- The Gondola, the Lunaria, the Rambler, the Queen, the Hero of the Hill, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Black Eagle, the Wanderer; the Northumberland, the Eliza beth, and the Patrician, sailing vessels ; and the Britannia, the Peninsula,lthe Eva, and her Ma jsly's ship. Wye, steamers. In order to ascertain the nature of the ground at the entrance of the river Medway, on which it is intended to erect the additional fortifications for the protection of that river, borings have been commenced at different places in front of the exist ing works, but up to the present time the results have been so far unsatisfactory that the original plans will undergo some ' portant modifications. In the reconstruction of th new line of sea defences it was originally intended . o extend them close to high-water mark, in , order ko push them out as far seaward as possible. Owing, however, to the un satisfactory nature of the substratum of the soil on which the heavy batteries store intended to be con structed, coupled with the great expense in carry- 1 ing out the original scheme, it has been decided that the permanent position of the new fortifica tions shall not extend so far seaward as was at first proposed, though of course the additional line of defences will be of such a character as to render the approach to the river Medway almost impossible. The 100-pounder Armstrong guns, with which it is intended during the present financial, year to arm the forts and batteries of the Chatham district, will be supplied, in the first instance, to the defences at the entrance to the Medway, where they will be mounted in the most commanding situations, the positions of which will be dicided upon by the colo nel commanding Royal Attillery and the colonel commanding Royal Engineers. The martello tower erected at the right hand entrance to the river will also be supplied with the 100-pounder Armstrong guns, instead of the ordiriary 68-pounder 10-inch guns with which it is at present armed. The con tract for the erection of the new fortifications on the Isle of Grain, on the opposite slore of the es tuary of the Medway, has been taker by Mr. Baker, London, and the works are to be proceeded with at once, in order that they may be completed as rapidly as possible. The sum to be expended in the erection of additional fortifications in the Chatham district alone for the protection of the important naval and military establishments at Omtham and Sheerness, will probably extend to £2,000,000. The following appointments were made yester day rat the Admiralty :—Lieut. A. H, Alington to the Rinaldo ; Lieut. Henry Cardale and Lieut. Edmund J. Church to the Driver ; Lieut. Hilary M. Carre to the Challenger ; Lieut. Edward L. Hublyn to the Wellesley, for service in the ordinary ; Lieut. R. P. Fitzgerald, additional, to the Cambridge ; Thos. Leethem, master, to the Madagascar; Wm. E. Fitzgerald, mate, to the Challenger ; Wm. Skipwith, W. B. Walpole, and W. H. Hall, midshipmen, to the Challenger; E. Day and Roberts Byng, midshipmen, to the Rin aldo; Fred. Hire, master's assistant, to the Chal lenger ; Henry A. Easther, master's assistant, to the' Rinaldo; and Jdhn Browne, master's assistant, to the Driver. TILE A.RMY. The Indomitable, transport, with a division of the 2d (Queen's Royals) Regiment on board, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday from Spithead, and berthed alongside the dockyard, where the tr. - inps shortly afterwards disembarked, and, headed by the band of the 2d battalion of the 11th Regiment, marched into the garrison, and took up quarters in the Cambridge barracks. The regiment embarked for the Cape of Good Hope at Queenstown on the 24th of June, 1851, and served through the Caffre war of 1851-2.3, with the expedition north of the Orange River, &c. The regiment left the Cape in March, 1860, in her Ma jemty's troop steamers Vulcan and Urgent for China, whence it has now returned. The Mars transport arrived at Spithead yester day from Hong Kong with Royal Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Barry. The whole of the arrangements for the forma tion of the Royal Marine Depot Battalion at Deal having been completed, the remainder of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men who are to form the nucleus of the Depot Battalion will leave headquarters, Chatham, this morning,' and proceed to Deal to take possession of the quarters which have been prepared for their re ception. The command of the Depot Battalion at Deal has been given to Lieutenant-Colonel W. It. Maxwell, and the officers who will proceed from headquarters this morning are Captain J. H. Stewart, Lieutenant A. C. J. M'Meekan, and Lieutenant F. Creighton. TILE VOLUNTEE.RS.

On Thursday, the 2d inst., a flagstaff of unrivalled height and symmetry, made of the Douglass pine (Abies Douglassii), from Vancouver Island, was erected on a rising ground in the Aboretum of Kew. It is the gift of Mr. Edward Stamp, a - gentleman largely concerned, in connexion with Messrs. Bilbe and Co., of Nelson Dock, Rotherhithe, in the tim ber trade of British Columbia. It is only justice to Mr. Stamp and Mr. Bilbe to state that this is the second spar which they have presented. The first measured 118 feet long, 14 inches in diameter at the base, and 4 inches across at the summit. It was the largest pole adapted for a flagstaff that had ever been known in Europe, and it was sent as a specimen of the tree in question, smoothed and made ready for elevation, through the liberality of Mr. Bilbe. Un fortunately it sustained two accidents. On its way up the river it was cut in halves by a steamer, but taken back by Mr. Bilbe and repaired at his yard; and, again, in the act of being erected, a rope gave way and it fell and broke into six pieces. On this disaster being communi cated to Mr. Stamp, he promised, on his return to Columbia, to replace the loss with a spar of at least equal size and beauty; and in April of this year another was deposited by the same gentleman, free of all charges, in the Royal Gardens. It is of the same kind of pine, but 41 feet longer—namely, 159 feet—and its diameter is S 2 inches at the base tapering regularly to 8 inches at the summit. There are 250 concentric rings, or layers of wood, indi cating as many years of growth ; its weight is 3 tons, and it contains 157 square feet of timber. To rig and elevate this noble object the aid of the Ad miralty was sought, and it was immediately granted by the noble duke who is at the head of that de partment of Government. His Grace gave instruc tions to Mr. John Isaac, the head mast-maker at Woolwich, and a sufficient number of sailors and riggers, and the difficult task has been accomplished without the smallest accident. Many persons came to witness the interesting operation of raising so lofty a pole. The site is on ground about 15 feet above the level of the park, and at a suitable dia.- tance from the new " winter garden" now in course of construction. A cut was made through the side of the hill to its centre, into which the butt end of the spar was placed horizontally, and then, by means of a skilful arrangement of ropes, some being attached to sheers and others to several adjacent trees, this prodigious spar was hoisted in a few hours to a perfectly upright position, when it was found to be so absolutely straight that a plumb-line cut precisely through the centre of the butt end and the cap at the top. Flag-halliards and crose trees had already been fitted ; and a star, with re flecting facets and points, was affixed to the vane staff. Being equal in height to the well-known Pagoda at Kew, this flagstaff may be seen, far and wide, and, if less conspicuous, it is far more grace ful. The main object in erecting this noble spar is to illustrate the size, unrivalled beauty, and utility for naval purposes of the tree which pro duces it. The Douglas pine abounds in all parts of British Columbia, including Vancouver Island, and has been known for many years in our parks and museums. A small growing tree may be seen close to the entrance of the Royal Gardens at some distance, however, from the flagstaff, which is in the Arboretum or pleasure-ground. The latter, as is generally known, is open to the public from the Ist of May to the 31st of October, and the Bota nic Gardens, with which it communicates, continue open through the year, Christmas-d;y alone ex cepted. L ATV IA TELLIGENCE.—May 7. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ',Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Willes, Byles, and Keating.) HARE V. lIENTY-LIABILITIES OF BANKERS. This case was argued some time ago, and the Court now gave judgment. The Lord Chief Justice said a rule had been granted in this case to enter a nonsuit or to have a new trial, and the question was whether the rule should be made absolute. It was an action against a banker at Worthing for neglect of duty in not presenting a cheque for payment within proper time, and the first count alleged that it was the duty of the banker to send the cheque by the post of the day on which it was paid into the bank at Worthing to the bank upon which it was drawn at Lewes for presentment ; and the second count alleged that it was the duty of the defendant to send the cheque for presentment within a reasonable time. The evi dence was that the cheque was paid in to the de fendant's bank on the morning of Friday, July 10, and the defendant sent the cheque by the Friday's post to his correspondent in London, for presenta tion at the country clearing house on the Saturday to the correspondent of the Lewes bank. Accord ingly the cheque was so presented, and it was after wards sent by Saturday's post to the bank at Lewes, where it arrived on the Sunday, practically on the Monday ; and payment was then refused, there being no effects, but if it had arrived on the Satur day it would have been paid. The plaintiff showed that for eighteen months the course of business had been to send country cheques to London in the way in which this one was sent, but that before the commencement of the eighteen months the custom had been to send cheques by the post of the day on which they were received to the country banks on which they were drawn, instead of sending them through the country clearing-house in London. The judge asked the jury whether the custom had been as above described prior to the 18 months, and the jury found in the affirmative. The court under these circumstances thought that the rule to enter a nonsuit should be made absolute, The question was whether there was any duty on the banker to send the cheque by the post of the day on which he received it to Lewes ; and the court was of opinion that there was no such duty. Before the course of sending country cheques through the clearing-house was adopted, the court considered that the time which a banker had a right to stop a cheque was defined correctly in " Rickwerth v. Ridge." There the defendant was a banker at Aylesbury, and he discounted a cheque on Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., of London, on the forenoon of the 13th Janu ary, and on the 14th he sent it to his London agents, Price and Co., for presentment, and they presented it on the 15th, when it was dishonoured. An action was thereupon brought to recover the amount paid in discounting the cheque, and it was held that the country banker was not bound to send the cheque up to London until the 14th, and that his agents in London were not bound to present it until the 15th. That decision' had been recognised and acted on and treated as established law in all cases as between parties to the cheque, and the court thought that the rule applied not only as between parties to the cheque but also as be tween the banker and his customer, unless circum stances existed from which a contractor duty on the part of the banker could be inferred to present earlier, or to defer the presentment until a later period. No such circumstance existed here, and it was admitted that the usage alleged in the first count did not exist at the time in question.. The court, therefore, gave effect to the leave which had been reserved, by directing the rule to enter a non suit to be made absolute. Rule absolute accordingly. HARRISON V. NICOLL-ARMSTRONG V. SAME- FALSE IMPRISONMENT. These were actions agalQdr.liOnald Nicoll, of Regent-street, to recover damages for false impri• sonment and malicious prosecution, the plaintiffs having been in the employ of Mr. Nicoll, Mr. Harri son as manager of a department, and Mr. Armstrong as a foreman. Both plaintiffs had been given in charge for theft, and they were subsequently tried and acquitted. The actions were tried before the Lord Chief Justice, in Middlesex, when the sub stantial question raised was whether the defendant had reasonable and probable cause for suspecting the plaintiffs, and upon the count for malicious prosecu tion his lordship ruled as a matter of law that he had ; whilst upon the count for false imprisonment the jury were of a contrary opinion, and they found verdicts for the plaintiffs, in the first case for £3OO, and in the second for £lOO. Subsequently rules were obtained for new trials, upon the ground that the verdicts were against the evidence; and to -day cause was shown against these rules being wade absolute. Mr. Digby Seymour, Mr. Phear, and gr. Butler Rigby appeared to show cause ; and' gr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. Hopwood to support the rule. The Court PM of opinion that it would be more PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. satisfactory to have new trials, and the costs would abide the event. Rule absolute. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco—Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Channel', and Wilde.) LAST v. DOWLING-INTERPL E A D ER. Mr. Hawkins said he had to move in this case, which had been tried before Mr. Baron Channel' on the 24th, 25th, and 26th of April, and in which the verdict had been found for the plaintiff for a new trial, or to enter it for-the defendant. It was an action in interpleader to try the right to certain goods seized by the Sheriff of Middlesex, and the interesting point involved in this drams, which had been performed for three days—(laughter)—was whether the goods which had been seized by the sheriff at the suit of Mary Anne Dowling were the goods of Mr. E. T. Smith or the plaintiff. Mrs. Dowling, who resided at Barnes Cottage, King's Langley, in Hertfordshire, had seized the goods under a judgment against Mr. Smith. Now -his learned friend, Mr. Chambers, had at the trial made a great deal of the fact that when the attorney's clerk went to her house to serve her with a sub poena to attend the trial she was lying upon a sofa, and although she pretended to be ill, she jumped up, and stamped about the room. But if their lordships could have only seen the kind of person the attorney's clerk was—(laughter)--the document which he carried, and the sum which he put down with it, they might readily conceive that a lady in a delicate state of health would be somewhat ex cited. (Laughter.) The attorney's clerk had ab solutely offered her with the subpoena a sovereign to come up to London, and to pay her expenses, and the lady refused to take it. What did the attor ney's clerk do then ? He picked up the sovereign, but left the subpcena. (Laughter,) What became of the money nobody knew ; it certatnty had not been produced in court. But really Mrs. Dowling's evidence was not wanted, because he (Mr. Hawkins) had offered to admit everything she could prove. However, his learned friend Mr. Chambers said "We want Mrs. Dowling." (Laughter.) Now the history of the plaintiff, Mr. Joseph Wm. Last, was somewhat peculiar. He was a printer, he had been bankrupt and insolvent, and had been the proprie tor of that respectable publication called the Town, which had been put an end to by the Society for the Suppression of Vice. The plaintiff, who was in the employ of Mr. Francis, the printer, induced Mr. Smith, who was then, in 1860, the lessee of Her Majesty's and Drury-lane, and the proprie tor of the Alhambra, to take a printing business in Savoy-street, Strand, on the ground that by so doing he would effect a great saving in the print, ing of his theatrical bills, the plaintiff to recive £3 a week as salary. Mr. Smith was responsible for the plant, but did not wish his name to appear, as he would not ran the risk of the bankruptcy law?. The execution had been put in the name of Mrs. Dowling, and then the plaintiff claimed the goods. The Lord Chief Baron—You may take a. rule to show cause. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—May 7. LAMBETH. THE VOLUNTEER TOLL QUES - TION.— ITS FINAL SETTLEMENT. Mr. Thomas Taylor, the lessee of Kennington-gate and other tolls, and Capt. Stephenson, of the Ist Surrey Volunteers, with Mr. Stockbridge, his legal adviser, attended before Mr. Elliott to hear that magistrate's final decision on the long pending and much vexed question of liability of volunteers to pay tolls when going to or returning from duty. It will be recollected that in the month of June last a summons had been taken out against Mr Taylor under the General Turnpike Act, by Messrs. Stockbridge, Goodall, and Hodgkins, members of Capt. Stephenson's corps, for unlawfully demand ing and receiving threepence toll on a cab, in which they rode in returning from drill, they claiming exemption under the 32d clause of the act, and after hearing the whole of the evidence, and carefully considering the provisions of the act, Mr. Elliott considered the charge for toll justifiable, and dis missed the complaint. Mr. Stockbridge, however, considering the ques tion involved to be one of such importance to the volunteers generally, gave notice of appeal, and from that time the decisions of various other magi strates on the point had been reserved until the de cision of a higher court had been obtained on this. On Saturday week the case was argued in the Court of Queen's Bench (Sittings in Banco) before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Cromp ton and Blackburn, by Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Levy for the respondent, in support of the magistrate's decision, and by Mr- Garth for the ap pellant ; and their lordships, after lengthened argu ments pro. and con., thought the appellant entitled to the exemption claimed, and directed that the case might be remitted back to Mr. Elliott for his deci sion, according to the provisions of the Act, as in terpreted by their lordships. When the case was called on, Mr. Stockbridge said that when the notice of appeal against his worship's decision had been given he stated that it was the intention of himself and his friends, mem bers of the Surrey Volunteers, to have paid the ex penses of Mr. Taylor, as well as their own, by means of subscriptions raised from the corps generally, whose benefit they were advocating ; but he was sorry to say that, including £5 from Earl Spencer, a guinea from Lord Elcho, and a guinea from Hon. G. C. Norton, his worship's colleague, the whole amount subscribed did not exceed £lB, whilst the expenses for prosecuting the appeal were £6O, so that so far from being able to assist Mr. Taylor, whose expenses he feared were also considerable, the appellant was upwards of £4O out of pocket. He (Mr. Stockbridge), however, had too high an opinion of the liberality and independence of the Volunteers than to suppose that they would allow a gentleman who had been fighting their cause, and obtained for them such a victory, to be so serious a loser. Mr. Elliott could not see how the expenses should be so much, particularly as he understood it was the cheapest possible mode of obtaining a judicial opinion. For his own part, he was very glad the point of law was settled so satisfactory to all parties, and all that remained for him now was to give his decision agreeable to the opinion expressed by the higher court, and that decision was that the defendant (Mr. Taylor) be fined ls., return the 3d. charged, and also 25., the expense of the summons. Mr. Taylor paid 3s. into court, and handi ng 3d. towards the defendant, said—Z our worship, they refuse to take back their mone. (Laughter.) The parties then retired, and thus has ended the much-vexed vexed Volunteer toll question. THE SILK ROBBERY. Yesterday the preliminary investigation relating to the robbery of 10 bales of China raw silk, the property of the St. Katharine Dock Company, and which has been pending for seven weeks, was brought to a close at the Thames Police-court before Mr. Woolrych. Joseph Barker, a shoemaker, late of Hope-street, Bethnal-green; Peter Debock, his brother-in-law, calling himself a silk-dealer; Wil liam Crane, who, at the time of his apprehension, was porter to Messrs. Drakeford and Co., silk mer chants in Great Winchester-street, London ; and John Newton, silk throwster and manufacturer, of Derby, were brought up on remand. Mr. Humphreys,jun., of the firm of Humphreys, Son, and Morgan, solicitors, Newgate-street, con ducted the prosecution for the St. Katharine Dock Company ; and the following solicitors appeared for the prisoners :—Mr. Angell, for Debock ; Mr. e r wß e n l ee P df et cDeer their Hudson, for Crane ; and Mr. Leech, of Derby, for Newton.

CITY CO2II3IISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday, at a meeting of the City Commis sioners of Sewers, held at Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Christie i n the hair, Mr. H. Lowman Taylor, Chairman of the Markets' Improvement en Com mittee, reported t h at the bill of the corporat i on for dismarketing Newgate-market was read a third time and passed i n t h e House of Commons on Monday evening. Dr. Ab ra h am b ore test i mony to the zeal and ability with whi c h M r. Tay l or ha d thealth, reported on promoted the measure, and a l so t h e bi ll Of last year, which passed into a law, f or es t a bli s hi ng a meat market .for the metropolis in S m ithfi e ld. Touching the sanitary condition of th e Ci ty, D r. t L h e e t h a e t b a y t t e ohfe 190 me housesd medical officer during the week, and he submitted a list of 56 places for sanitary improvement. He likewise re ported that the markets and slaughter - houses had been duly inspected in the course of the week, and that the officers had seized 2,7621 b of meat as unfit for human food. About two-thirds of this were seized in Newgate-market, and the rest in Leaden hall. It consisted of 11 sheep, 24 quarters of beef, four calves, and three pigs, besides smaller joints, 1,0031 b diseased,: 241 b putrid,' and 1,7351 b from animals that had died from natural causes. All of it had been sent away and destroyed as unfit for human food. The mortality returns for the week are a little above the average for the season. They have increased - from 49 in the` previous week to 57, the average for the corresponding pariod of the last five years being 50. The chief causes of death were as follows:—Phthisis, 11 ; bronchitis, 5 ; pneumo nia, 2 ; whooping-cough, 4; croup and diphtheria, 4 ; scarlet fever, 2 ; continued fever, 2 ; infantile diarrhoea, 2; and measles, I—makinglB deaths from lung diseases and 15 from zymotic. 70 births were registered during the week—namely, the births of 33 boys and 37 girls. On the motion of Dr. Abra ham, the fact having previously been elicited from the medical officer that several of the salesmen had refused to give up the names of the senders of diseased meat found in their possession, it was re ferred to the city solicitor to take such proceedings as he might think fit against persons so refusing. Mr. Haywood, the engineer to the commission, said one of the telegraph companies had served him with a notice of their intention to open a part of St. Mary's-hill for the purpose of laying telegraphic wires into a merchant's office there. His object in mentioning the circumstance was that if the prac tice became general of establishing telegraphic com munications with private houses or offices the thoroughfares would be perpetually torn up in order to lay.down the wires, to the great inconveni ence of the public. The Court coincided with the engineer's objection, and referred the subject for consideration to the city solicitor. Mr. Hay wood exhibited a drawing of a drinking fountain about to be erected in front of the Royal Exchange by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain Association, who had obtained the requisite permission of the commission at a previous meeting. It will consist of a bronze figure of a water nymph, pouring water from a vase into a capacious basin beneath, orna mented with dolphins of polished granite, and sup ported on a plinth and steps, also of granite. The fountain and figure will be eight feet in height from the ground, and there will be a grating all round for carrying off the surplus water. The Court gave a qualified approval of the design. DREADFUL STORY. During the drilling of an oil well at Tidione, Pennsylvania, recently, a sudden rush of oil, at the rate of 70 barrels an hour, took place, the stream ascending 41 feet above the surface of the ground. Above this mass of oil the gas or benzine rose in a cloud, for 50 or 60 feet. All the fires in the neigh bourhood were immediately extinguished, ex cepting one 400 yards' distance. The fire from this ignited the floating gas, and in a moment the whole air was in roaring flames. As soon as the gas took fire the head of the jet of oil was in a furious bloze, and falling like water from a fountain over a space of 100 feet in diameter, each drop of oil came down a blazing globe of boiling oil. Instantly the ground was in a flame, constantly increased and augmented by the falling oil. At once a scene of indescribable horror took place. Scores were thrown flat, and for a distance of 20 feet, and num bers horribly burnt, rushing blazing from the hell of misfortune, shrieking and screaming in their anguish. Just within the circle of the flames could be seen four bodies boiling in the seething oil, and one man who had been digging at a ditch to convey away the oil to a lower part of the ground was killed as he dug, and could be seen, as he fell over the handle of the spade, roasting in the fierce ele ment. Mr. 11. R. Rouse, a gentleman largely in terested in wells in this locality, and whose income from them amounted tol,ooodls a-day,:was standing near the pit, and was blown 20 feet by the explo sion. He got up and ran about 10 or 15 feet further, and was dragged out by two men, and was con veyed to a shanty some distance from the well. When he arrived not a vestige of clothing was left upon him but his stockings and boots. His hair was burnt off, as well as his finger nails, his ears, and his eyelids, while the balls of his eyes were crisped up to nothingness. In this condition he lived 9 hours. Mr. Rouse, immediately after the calamity occurred, despatched a man for an officer, and made his will, in which it is stipulated that 50,000 dollars be given to the poor of his county, 200 dollars to each of the two men who rescued him from the fire, Sc. He died, however, without signing the will. Six other persons were imme diately killed, whose names are not known. In addition, there are the skeletons of five others visible within the circle of the flame, and as many are missing—strangers, who came to witness the operation of the wells. It is supposed that a num ber of others have been burned to a powder, close by the mouth of the well. Some thirty-four were seriously injured, besides others slightly. At the time of the explosion, everything in the neigh bourhood-60 or 70 rods—took fire, and shan ties, derricks, engine -houses, and dwellings were at once involved in flames. The boiler of Dobb's well, eighty rods from the original fire, blew up with a tremendous explosion, killing in stantly the engineer, Wesley Skinner, adding ano ther intensity to the evening's horrors. At this time the whole air was on fire. The jet of oil rushing up 40ft. was almost a pillar of livid flame, while the gas above it, to the distance of 100 ft., was flashing, exploding, dashing towards the heavens, and ap parently licking the clouds with its furious tongues of heat. All this time, during this tremendous, combustion, the sounds of the explosions and burn ings were so tremendous and continuous that they could be compared to nothing but the rushing of a hurricane or a tornado through the forest. The heat of the fire was so intense that no one could approach within 150 feet without scorching their skin . orgar wloaos gar ments. It was the most frightful, a yet.
