ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; 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 squally 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 entrely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. 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 nd. 14 barrels weivh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 15s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

Alibe- II S the peasant into the actual position hot--Th'er;--and to sever at once ail eonnectio tween himself and the proprietor. The Credit' Banks in each d'partment were to become virtual proprietors of the peasants' copyholds for the pro posed term of 16 2-3 years, paying the landowners the purchase-money at once in negotiable debenture ' de" gage), with coupons for interest, and receiving the annual payments, both princi pal and rent, from.the tenants. This would have furnished the proprietors with sufficient capital to stock their estates when compulsory labour was abolished, and would have made the peasants free holders in a few years by small annual payments, amounting in all to five-sixths of the real value of their freeholds, the difference being voluntarily subscribed by the proprietor. This is an outline of the scheme proposed by the Agricultural guesti o n. like It he o :tc i ih e , et of y p for the though hn o oluuumtgieohrnotuohsfe they are details present reneineces sary which . sary not thi s great necessary der t e o et en ftreorm a furt ß h u er ss i i n an a com munication point to a compl ete understand i ng of i ts operation. But t had it i s of view—it was the proprietors themselves, and not the Government conferring an immense boon on the peasantry. Now, th e R uss i an idea is, that w hatever good is done, must be done by the Go vernment, or else not done at all. It would have been dangerous, moreover, to have had the Polish peasantry bound closely to the Polish t gen ry in the bonds of gratitude and mutual goodwill . M. Mucha now's circular, therefore, especially inculcated on the departmental governors and functionaries the duty of impressing the peasants with the fact that the Go vernment watched over their interests with great anxiety ; and an idea has since been circulated far and near among the peasants that the Government wish to give theme freehold of their holdings, but that the landowners are opposed to it, Nay,in some districts I am informed that the peasantry actually believe the Government fired on the pro prietors, then assembled at the annual meeting of the Agricultural Society on the 27th of February, solely with a view to force them to adopt the Go vernment Measure for peasant enfranchisement. I do not for a moment suppose that the Viceregal, Government ever authorised such reports as these ; but that among a grossly ignorant peasantry, with no sources of information but rumour, the positive instructions of the circular, and the conversations of the soldiers quartered in the villages, should have proved the foundation for such a superstructure is no matter of wonder. Nor will the present wiae spread spirit of insubordination among the peasants and their refusal to do their compulsory labour cause any surprise under such circumstances, The Committee of Proprietors and others appointed during the early days of M. Wielopolski's tenure of office, under the presidency of General Gecewicz, ad interim Minister of the Interior, still continues its labours on the solution of the peasant question; and it is said that a proclamation to the peasants themselves on the subject of their enfranchisement is about to appear shortly. That Government will in some measure adopt the ideas of the Agricultural Society, and take the credit of them, is not at all improbable ; but for the material benefit of the country it is to be hoped it will not make itself n. partisan of the peasant against the landlord, though I fear this will be the case.

The Census returns show that the district known as the Staffordshire Potteries has now a isopulation of upwards of 120,000. The Parliamentary borough of Stoke-upon-Trent comprises the under-mentioned towns, which have a population of 99,796 :--Henley, 31,938 ; Burslem, 21,601; Longton, 16,742 ; Tuns. tall, 11,156 ; Stoke, 10,422 ; and Fenton, 7,937. 'rhe population of the Parliamentary borough has increased 15,615 during the last decade. In 1138 the population of the Potteries did not exceed 4,000. The population of Newcastle-under-Lyme is 12,636, and has increased 2,336 since 1851. In the same period Stafford, which in 1851 had a popula tion of 13,092, has increased to 15,061. Tamvqorth has 4,326 inhabitants; Leek, 9,056; Burton-upon - Trent, 13,675 ; and Stone, 3,592. The details of the organisation of the n6w Coun cils have, of course, not been made public; nor will they be till they have been approved by the Imperial Government. Various particulars, how ever, have transpired, which do not lead to the hope that, when published, they will prove at all satis factory. All elasticity in their functions, all expansiveness from within, has been carefully guarded against. It is said that an enactment has been appended to them, making it an offence punishable with imprisonment for a term of not less than six months, nor exceeding three years, if any member, whether by the presentation of & petition or in any other way, attempts to introduce into the discussions matters of which the Councils are not respectively empowered to take cognizance by the Imperial ukase decreeing their formation. Their composition is also said to be sn contrived as to give every facility for the elimination of members from the higher Councils who have been elected by the proprietors or burgesses to the lower Councils, in case they evince hostility to the Government. Enough is known, therefore, to prevent even the most moderate Polish patriots from entertaining any very sanguine expectations as . the practical usefulness to the country of Councils thus organised, let their names be what they may. A matter deserving of mention is the return to Warsaw of M. Wieczorkowski, the judga sent to Nlodlin to make the preliminary arrangements for the trial of those who were arrested on the evening of the Bth of April. He has divided the prisoners into two categories, those against whom there are, and those against whom there are not, prima facie grounds for judicial proceedings. In the first cate gory 11 persons are included, in the second 75. It remains to be seen what further steps Government will take in reference to both these classes, and also in regard to those persons arrested in the town and in the country since the date above-named. This week there have been renewed proofs of the impo- title nature of Government edicts which either can not be enforced, or which have no sanction of inherent justice id people's convictions. On Sunday the same religious hymns were again sung 'in all the churches in spite of the second prohibition, ladies in some instances stepping forward in front orrCfencelees citi zens, commenci n g Wolffpe r theson persons ou accompaniedn t e h ; e a cemeteryn and on the Mo- a t P fdo ufa o ny w t someehr o ea n al s l k : i a , co r t e ge t thousandsea h an e ed e d o l f e s a s D o o f rf. the official limited the attendance on such occasions to the immediate family of the deceased. Dr. Wolff had given much gratuitous advice to the poor, and the demonstration was purely a personal one. Mounted gendarmes were present, who tried to cut off the crowd, but to no purpose, for they joined the pro cession again by by-lanes and back streets. I conclude with the translation of an order of the ' day, published April 20, and addressed to the troops of the First Corps d'Armee, stationed in Poland, the head-quarters of which are in the town of Warsaw : "No. 54.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. ROMAN CATHOLIC PAUPERS. The Marquis of NORMANBY presented several peti tions complaining of the treatment of Roman Catholic chil d: en in workhouses. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. Earl DE GREY and RIPON presented petitions in favour of this bill. THE NEW ZEALAND BILL. Earl GREY gave notice that, on the second reading of this bill, he should call the attention of their lordships to some subjects in relation to that country. THE WHITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS. Earl DERBY asked the noble Earl,'the President•of the Council, if he could state when it was, proposed to adjourn for the Whitsuntide holidays ? Earl GRANVILLE said he intended to propose that their lordships should adjourn, from Friday till Monday week. SPAIN AND ST. DOMINGO. Lord BROUGHAM begged to ask an answer to the question ho put to her Majesty's Government relative to the annexation of St. Domingo to Spain. He trusted that the most energetic measures would be taken to prevent the introduction of slavery into the island. Lord WODEHOUSE said the information received was that Spain had not taken any definite step in the proposed annexation of a portion of the island of. St. Domingo. They were waiting for further information from the island before coming to a decision. He had reason to be lieve that it this information was to the effect that the majority of the people were in favour of annexa tion, the Spanish Government would have no objection to such an arrangement. He was gratified to an nounce to his noble , and learned friend that the Spanish Government had decided that slavery was not to be introduced in the territory proposed to be annexed. Her Majesty's Government had been officially informed of that circumstance. (Hear, hear.) THE PRINCESS ALICE DOWRY BILL. This bill on the motion of Earl GRANVILLE was read a second time. SMOKE NUISANCE (SCOTLAND) AMENDMENT BILL. Lord KINNAI RD moved the second reading of this bill which was merely to improve a measure that had been of the greatest benefit to Scotland. The bill was read a second time. RAILWAY COMPANIES MORTGAGE TRANSFER (SCOTLAND) BILL. The consideration of this bill was, after a short discus sion, postponed. LEASES, &c., BY INCUMBENTS RESTRICTION BILL. Lord LYTTELTON moved the third reading of this bill. The Bishop of OXFORD objected to some of the provi sicns of the bill. The Bishop of LONDON thought the bill ought to be postponed until it was known how many benefices would be affected by it. The third reading was accordingly postponed till Friday. PASSENGERS (AUSTRALIA COLONIES) BILL. This bill was read a third time, and passed. MARRIAGE VALIDITY BILL. This bill was also read a third time and passed. COMMON LAW COURTS, IRELAND. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved for a number of returns relative to the law courts in Ireland. Atter a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR, The returns were ordered. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Kendal Fell Bill were considered and agreed to. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Cheshire Midland Railway; Trent, Anchholme, and Grimsby Railway ; and Wycombe Railway (Extensions). The following bills were read a second time—Cork and Youghal Railway Bill, Midland Railway (Otley and Ilkley Extension) Bill, and the North Eastern Railway (Exten sion to Otley, &c.) Bill. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of the altera tion of the Marriage Law in Ireland ; for keeping open the National Gallery later in the day, in order to afford the working classes an opportunity of visiting ; in favour of affording increased facilities to Roman Catholic inmates in workhouses for the free exercise of their religious worship ; in favour of the Poor Law Assessments Act, by Sir W. Vernon ; a petition, 52 yards long, and signed by 11,788 persons of all classes, complaining of the conduct of the law officers of the Crown at the late assizes at Armagh, and par ticularly in reference to the case of the man Taite ; against the Poor Law Removal Act, &c. MAILS TO BELFAST. General UPTON asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether it was the intention of the Government to make arrangements for the - despatch of mails from Stranraer, either to Belfast or to Donaghadee ; and, if so, to what periods contracts for conveying the same will be limited ? Mr. PE EL said there was a communication with Belfast by way of Greenock. THE POLICE MAGISTRATE'S DECISION AT MARYLEBONE. After a few words from Lord FERmov, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that in consequence of a memorial placed in his hands by his noble friend the member for Marylebone, he addressed Mr. Mansfield, magistrate at Marylebone, who reported that his decision rested on the statement of Mr. Babbage, supported by the evidence of two policemen and some householders. The case was one for the, decision of the magistrate, in his opinion, as to the credibility of the witnesses examined, and as he had an opportunity of seeing how they gave their evidence, he (Sir G. C. Lewis) did not feel disposed to interfere. Lord FERMOY inquired if the right hon. gentleman had any objection to lay the report on the table of the house ? Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the reports made by judges and magistrates to the Home-office were considered confi dential; but he had stated generally the effect of the report. INDIGO PLANTERS IN INDIA. in reply to Mr. VANSITTART, Sir C. WOOD said it was true that a deputation had waited upon the Governor-General, and two special com missioners were sent to the districts in question. The papers would be laid on the table.' Commissioners appointed to inquire into the control and management of her Majesty's naval yards, as having been discovered in certain accounts in the departments of the storekeeper, the accountant, and the chief engineer of Woolwich Dockyard. The hon. gentleman read extracts from the report he referred to to prove that the calcula tions on which some of the estimates in former years were founded were not deemed of sufficient importance at the time to be checked by a superior clerk. In fact they were not checked at all, and therefore many reports of the Royal Commission which bore on those points required consider able explanation. An ion. Member here moved that the house be counted, and only 32 members being found present, the house ad journed at ten minutes to seven o'clock. to the subjects of any such prince, state or potentate, or to the inhabitants of any colony, province, or part of any province or country under the control of any person or persons so exercising or assuming to exercise the powers of GoVern ment, every such person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, upon being convicted thereof, upon any information or indictment, be punished . by fine and imprisonment, or either of them, at the discre tion of the court before which such offender shall be con victed." Now, in order that none of our subjects may unwarily render themselves liable to the penalties imposed by the said statute, we do hereby strictly command that no person or persons whatsoever do commit any act, matter, or thing whatsoever, contrary to the provisions of the said statute, upon pain of the several penalties by the said statute im posed, and of our high displeasure. And we do hereby further warn all our loving subjects, and all persons whatsoever entitled to our protection, that if any of them shall presunie, in contempt of this our royal' proclamation, and of our high displeasure, to do any acts in derogation of their duty, as subjects of a neutral Sove reign, in the said contest, or in violation or contravention of the law of nations in that behalf ; as for example and more especially by entering into the military service of either of the said contending parties as commissioned or non-commissioned officers or soldiers : or by serving as officers, sailors, or marines, on board any ship or vessel of war or transport, of or in the service of either of the said contending parties ; or by serving as officers, sailors, or marines, on board any privateer bearing letters of marque of or from either of the said con tending parties ; or by engaging to go or going to any place beyond the seas, with intent to enlist or engage in any such service, or by procuring or attempting to pro cure, within her Majesty's dominions at home or abroad, others to do so ; or by fitting out, arming, or equipping any ship or vessel to be employed as a ship of war or priva teer or transport, by either of the said contending parties ; or by breaking or endeavouring to break any blockade lawfully and actually established by or on behalf of either of the said contending parties; or by carrying officers, soldiers, despatches, arms, military stores, or mate rials, or any article or articles considered and deemed to be contraband of war according to the law or modern usages of nations, for the use or service of either of the said con tending parties, all persons so offending will incur and be liable to the several penalties and penal consequences by the said statute, or by the law of nations, in that behalf im posed or denounced. And we do hereby declare that all our subjects, and persons entitled to our protection, who may misconduct themselves in the premises, will do so at their peril and of their own wrong, and that they will in nowise obtain any protection from us against any liabilities or penal conse qi:ences, but will, on the contrary, incur our high dis pleasure by such misconduct.

(From the Gazette of last evening.) BY THE QUEEN, A PROCLAMATION. VICTOUIA. R.—Whereas we are happily at peace with all Sovereigns, Powers, and States. And whereas hostilities have unhappily commenced be tween the Government of the United States of America and certain States styling themselves the Confederate States of America. And whereas we, being at peace with the Government of he United States, have declared our royal determination to maintain a strict and impartial neutrality in the contest between the sai t contending parties. We, therefore, have thought fit, by and with the advice of our Privy Council, to issue glis our Royal Proclama tion. And we do hereby strictly charge and command all our Dying subjects to observo a strict neutrality in and during -be aforesaid hostilities, and to abstain from violating or contravening either the laws and statutes of tha realm in this behalf, or the law of nations in relation thereto, as they will answer to the contrary at their peril. And whereas in and by a certain statute made and passed in the 59th year of his Majesty King George the Third, intitulpd "An Act to prevent the Enlisting or Engagement of his Majesty's Subjects to serve in a Foreign Service, and the Fitting out or Equipping, in his Majesty's Domi- nions, Vessels for Warlike Purposes, without his Majesty's Licence," it is, amongst, other things, declared and enacted as follows : " That if any natural-born subject of his Majesty, his heirs and successors, without leave or license of his Ma jesty, hi, heirs or successors, for that purpose had and ob tained, under the sign manual of his Majesty, his heirs or successors, or signified by order in council, or by proclama tion of his Majesty, his heirs or successors, shall take or accept, or shall agree to take or accept, any military commission, or shall otherwise enter in the military service as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer, or shall enlist or enter himself to enlist, or shall agree to enlist or enter himself to serve as a soldier, or to be employed or shall serve in any warlike or military opera tion, in the service of or for or under or in aid of any foreign prince, state, potentate, colony, province, or part of any province or people, or of any person or persons exer cising or assuming to exercise the powers of Govern ment in or over any foreign country, colony, province, or part of any province or people, either as an officer or soldier, or in any other military capacity ; or if any natural born subject of his Majesty shall, without such leave or licence as aforesaid, accept or agree to take or accept any commission, warrant, or appointment as an officer, or shall enlist or enter hi/Lev, or shall agree to en- list or enter himself, to serve as a sailor or marine, or to be employed, or engaged or shall servo in and on board any ship or vessel of war, or in and on board any ship or vessel used or fitted out, or equipped, or intended to be used for any warlike purpose, in the service of or for or under ,or in aid of any foreign Power, prince, State, potentate, colony, province, or part of any province, or people, or of any person or persons exercising or assuming to exercise the Powers of Government in or over any foreign country, colony, province, or part of any province or people; or if any natural-born subject of his Majesty shall, without such leave and licence as aforesaid, engage, contract, or agree to go, or shall go to any foreign state, country, colony, pro vince, or part of any province or to any place beyond the seas, with an intent or in order to enlist or enter himself to serve, or with intent to serve in any warlike or military operation whatever, whether by land or by sea, in the service of or for or under or in aid of any foreign prince, state, potentate, colony, pro vince, or past of any province or people, or in the service of or for or under or in aid of any person or persons exercising or assuming to exercise the powers of government in or over any foreign country, colony, province, or part of any province or people, either as an officer or a Beadier, or in any other military capacity, or as an officer or sailor, or marine, in any such ship or vessel as aforesaid, although no enlisting money or pay or reward shall have been or shall Le in any or either of the case; aforesaid actually paid to or received by him, or by any person to or for his use or benefit; or if any person whatever, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, or in any part of his Majesty's dominions elsewhere, or in any country, colony, settlement, island, or place belonging to or subject to his Majesty, shall hire, retain, engage, or procure, or shall attempt or endeavour to hire, retain, engage, or procure, any person or persons whatever to enlist, or to enter or engage to enlist, or to serve or to be employed id any such service or em ployment as aforesaid, as an officer, soldier, sailor, or marine, either in land or sea service, for or under or in aid of any foreign prince, state, potentate, colony, province, or part of any province or people, or for or under the purposenaneor in aid of any p erson or persons exerc i s i ng or assum ing to exercise any p owers o f G overnmen t as a f oresa id, or t o go or to agree to g o or embark from any part of his Majesty's dominions, for m p ' a it y, hintent to be so enlisted, ent ere d , engaged, or emp l oye d as a f oresa id, whether guy enlisting or reward shall have been or s h a ll b e actua l ly g i ven or rece i ve d , or no t ;• o o y, r , in any or either of such cases, every person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon being convicted thereof, upon any information or indict ment, shall be punishable by fine and imprisonment, or either of them, at the discretion of the Court before which such offender shall be convicted." And it is in and by the said Act further enacted, — "That if any person, within any part of the United Kingdom, the seas, shall, without the leave and licence of his Majesty for that purpose first had and obtained as aforesaid, equip, furnish, fit out, or arm, or attempt or endeavour to equip, furnish, fit out, or arm, or procure to be equip r ied, furnished, fitted out, or armed, or shall knowingly aid, assist, or be concerned in the equipping, furnishing, fitting out, or arm ing of any ship or vessel, with intent or in order that such ship or vessel shall be employed in the service of any foreign prince, state, or potentate, or of any foreign colony, pro vince, or part of any province or people, or of any person or persons exercising or assuming to exercise any powers of Government in or over any foreign state, colony, province, or part of any province or people, as a transport or store ship, or with intent to cruize or commit hostilities against any prince, state, or potentate, or against the sub jects or citizens of any prince, state or potentate, or against the persons exercising or assuming to exercise the powers of Government in any colony, province, or part of any pro vince or eountry, or against the inhabitants of any foreign colony, province, or part of any province or country, with whom his Majesty shall not then be at war, or shall, within the United Kingdom, or any of his Majesty's domi nions, or in any settlement, colony, territory, island, or place belonging or subject to his Majesty, issue or deliver any commission for any ship or vessel, to the intent that such ship or vessel shall be employed as aforesaid, every such person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, upon conviction thereof, upon any information or indictment, be punished by fine and imprisonment, or either of them, at the discretion of the court in which such offender shall be convicted ; and every such ship or vessel, with the tackle, apparel, and furniture, together with all the materials, arms, ammunition, and stores, Which may belong to or be on board of any such ship or ves sel, shall be forfeited ; and it shall be lawful for any officer of his Majesty's customs or excise, or any officer of his Majesty's navy, who is by law empowered to make seizures, for any forfeiture incurred under any of the laws of customs or ' excise, or the laws of trade and navigation, to seize such ships and vessels aforesaid, and in such places and in suclidnanner in which the officers of his Majesty's Customs or Excise and the officers of his Ma jesty's navy are empowered respectively to make seizures under the laws of Customs and Excise, or under the laws of trade and navigation; and that every such ship and vessel, with the tackle, apparel, and furniture, together with all the materials, arms, ammunition, and stores which may be long to or be on board of such ship or vessel, may be prosecuted and condemned in the like manner, and in such courts as ships or vessels may be prosecuted and condemned for any breach of the laws made for the protection of the revenues of the Customs and excise, or of the laws of trade and navigation."

WOOD said that he had not yet received an answer to a communication to the Governor-General, and therefore could not give the hon. member the information he required. MARRIAGE LAW (IRELAND). Sir H. CAIRNS, in moving for a select committee to inquire into the law of marriage in Ireland, said that his motion was not brought forward in consequence of the recent celebrated trial in I reland, for last year there were numerous petitions from Ireland praying for an amendment of the marriage law in that coup • try, and except for certain circumstances he would have brought the subject forward before. It ha d been objected to any act in regard to Ireland on the s ubject that legis lation should include the three component parts of the kingdom. He thought, however, th a t such objection was mo re plausible than just, for when they considered the marriage and the common law of Scotland, and the tenacity with which the inhabitants of that country adhered to that law, he thought it would be impracticable to introduce a more comprehensivemeasure in regard to wasg law of the kingdom genet ally. At present there undue delay, want of proper authentication, and other defects in the existing marriage law in Ireland which required to be reme died. In 1844 the law of England was introduced into Ire land in reference to marriage,the effect of which was that mar riages in some cases were solemnised without any religious services. Having adverted to the operation of the mixed marriage, certain hardships under which Protestant dolicsis senters laboured in Ireland, he said th e Roman Cath also had ground for complaint, for although in some casea they have greater license in regard to contracting marriages than other religious bodies, at the same time they laboured under some disabilities. It was therefore most desirable that the present law should remain on the statute book. With regard to Roman Catho lics, he proposed the clergymen of that bo d y should, in re gard to mixed marriages, be placed in the same position as clergymen of other denominations, providing that they were similarly placed in giving those marriages due publicity. Mr. - WHITESIDE seconded the motion. He said that the object of the common law was to give the greatest pub licity to marriages ; and in allusion to this publicity, he be lieved it was Chaucer who said, in respect to a marriage solemnised at the church according to the old custom— " She was the discreetest of women alive, Husbands at the church door she had five," (Laughter.) He believed that their departure from common law was not always attended with ad vantage. The Roman Catholics in Ireland, though constituting a large majority of the inhabitants of that country, were in a worse position in respect to the marriage laws than the Jews, who were infinitesimally. smaller, or the Quakers, who were rapidly diminishing. He thought that in this respect the Roman Catholics should hate the same privi leges conferred on them as were enjoyed by the Church of Scotland ; but at the same time, if they had any reason able demands, he considered they should be heard with deference. Mr. SCULLY, who had the following amendment on the paper :—" That an ,humble address- be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to issue ,t Royal Commission;to inquire into the marriage laws of England, of Ireland, and of Scotland, respectively," said that he did not intend his amendment in a hostile but a friendly spirit towards the motion of the honourable and learned gentleman (Sir H. Cairns). He thought it would be impossible to legislate on the subject this session, and he thought, under the circumstances, it would not ims t u b et e e advisable to go into the whole question. If the marriage law of Ireland could be legislated one immediately, he would offer no objection ; but consi tdehering the nu m b e r of Irish committees sittin4 at e Ni'ou a l n d y lead to n addition epracticable I o f the of these Secretary for Ireland gave him an assurance that he w ce ou Id agree t o an a tt empt to l eg i s l a t e on th e su bject this hs ss s heion nd E e fLhLi his said he n it a n was a Rm v, De o n u Ntv l . d afford him any assistance and withd raw po M se the motion r Alseanrnoted friend his einridietnhteiomn member boper for, Belfast, and he was glad to find that it was not the in tention of his hon. frien a mendment, the member for Cork to press his The motion was agreed to.

Mr. ANGERSTEIN moved for a copy of the officers o f Woolwich Dockyard, and othe f principal officers of th e Admiralt y , on the errors, relerred to in the 18th clause of the WAN head of the report of the AoYal NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. The Census returns for this town have just been published. As compared with the return of 1851 the number of the population shows an increase of 19,884, or rather more than 23 per cent. In 1841 the numbers were 71,850, over which the figures of this year show an increase of 37,150. From the following statement it will be seen that the increase has taken place principally in the western portion of the town, the Elswick district having increased in particular very greatly. This is in a great mea sure owing to the number of men employed in Sir William Armstrong's works situated there, he having now actively engaged in the gun and ord nance works about 2,500 persons :- 1861. 1851.

YORKSHIRE. The agricultural population has decreased in many places to a most remarkable extent. The returns made to the superintendent registrars in purely agricultural districts prove this beyond all question. The population of the Doncaster Union in 1851 was 34,662, against 39,387 in 1861, or an increase of 4,725. Had it not been for Don caster and its suburb Balby, and Mexborough, there would have been a decrease of at least 1,000 in the rural places. Of the fifty villages embraced in the union, twenty-nine have decreased since 1851 ; one was stationary ; one had increased by one, an one by two. In the Thorne Union, embracing 13 parishes or townships, seven had decreased, and altogether there are in the whole union but 81 more inhabitants than in 1851. The union of East Redford, in North Notts—which comes up to that of Doncaster—shows, in as equally I remarkable a manner, that there is a decrease with out the towns being added up. It extends over 50 towns and villages. In 1851 there were 21,362 inhabitants; in 1861, 22,675, or 1,313 more. One township furnishes half of this increase alone; 30 have decreased ; and 10 have not, in the average, added more than 20 each. Southwell Union has but 8,296, against 8,445 in 1851. Of the 15 town ships comprising it, 10 have, in the decade, lost 314 inhabitants, and the remainder show but a slight addition. Basford Union has 8,267 more inhabi tants than it had ten years ago, but the additiOn here is also in the large manufacturing places. To this rapid advance three towns alone contribute 5,647. Lincoln Union has only 600 more than in 1851. It is divided into 29 parts ; five divisions have fallen off considerably; one is exactly as in 1851. Winterton, near Brigg, has 9,800, against 9,276 in 1851. Five townships are not so large of the number of population as in 1851 ; and si x The the remaining 15 have almost been stationary'_Yorr returns of 39 of the principal towns contrast favourably with this report If pie rural partg. The population of the 39 t° o6 iloW GLASGOW. The analysis of the Census of the city of Glasgow has been published. The population of the "ancient burg" of Glasgow amounts to 403,142, of whom 189,220 are males, and 213,922 are females. The population of the district known as the " ancient burg" and the suburbs is 446,395, of whom 209,999 are males, and 236,396 are females. The amount of the population in 1851 was 360,138, thus show ing an increase in 1861 of 86,257. In 1861 the number of inhabited dwellings was 82,609, and of uninhabited 4.002, compared with 63,153 and 1,547 in the year 1851, being an increase in 1861 of in habited dwellings to the extent 0f,19,06, and of uninhabited 2,455. The population is composed of 326,374 Scotch, 10,809 English, 63,574 Irish, 827 foreigners, 1,440 colonists, and 118 not ascertained. POLAND. (From the Times Correspondent.) WARSAW, MAY 4. It will not be uninteresting, I imagine, nor with out its real use in enabling you to understand the actual position of things here, if I attempt to give you some idea of the existing relation between pro prietor and peasant, appending to my sketch an outline of the plan proposed for the substitution of money payments for compulsory labour, and for the purchase of the freehold of his holding by the peasant. The Polish peasant is not a serf, nor has serfdom existed in Poland for many years. It was first abolished by the Constitution of 1791, framed by the enlightened Zamoyski, ancestor of the present Count Andre, who so worthily upholds the traditions of his house. Up to the right bank of the Bug it was, indeed, re-established by the Empress Cathe rine, but to the westward of that river, in the por tim which Prussia received in the partition of 1793, it has never existed since its first abolition. It was, however, finally abolished throughout the whole country on the erection of Poland into a grand duchy in 1807, by the introduction of the " Code Napoleon" as the basis of its legislation and admi nistration. Since that time the Polish peasant has ceased to be a portion of the estate (adscriptus glebe); he has been able to remove from place to place, and wherever he has been he has been simply a tenant at will. But he has paid his rent, not in money, but in compulsory labour. The labour of one, two, three, or even four days a week has been paid, by arrangement with the landlord, for his cottage and piece of land. If he has had horses or oxen and carts, the labour of these has been re ceived, in certain adjusted proportions, in lieu of his own personal labour. The advantage of this system has been, that the landlord has not been obliged to keep a large amount of capital invested in agricultural plant for the cultivation of the im mense surface of land, sometimes amounting to many thousands of acres, which he farms him self; but, though the legal serfdom of the peasant has long been abolished, there still exists what I may call a traditional serfdom, a sort of patriarchal relation between himself and his landlord, having much in it that resembles the old Roman clientela. When ill, the doctor of the estate attends him gratis; he has medicines, also gratis, from the estate dispensary ; in bad years, seed corn or corn for family use is given him from the landlord's granary; he has the right of collect ing fuel from the waste wood felled in the forests of the estate, and often the right of pasturage for his cattle and horses. Though, therefore, he is not free master of a cer tain portion of his own time •and labour, he has considerable advantages from his state of semi-serf dom. The landlord is also magistrate for his own estate, and settles all disputes between his peasants and himself. Where the proprietor is an unjust, cruel man, this power is, no doubt, often abused, as also where he is non-resident, and leaves the ma nagement of the estate, along with his magisterial powers, to his steward. But, on the whole, the worst that can be said of the relation between land lord and peasant in Poland is that it has not en couraged a spirit of enterprise in the latter ; it has placed him, like his Irish counterpart on his plot of potato ground, in a sufficiently easy but dependent position, unfavourable to his mental, moral, and industrial progress. Money he seldom has in any great amount, but he rarely suffers from want. Such is the actual condition of the Polish peasant. But this semi -serfdom, it must be remembered, is by no means universal. On many estates it has been abolished many years, and, in the place of com pulsory labour, a fixed money payment substituted. But, it will be asked, what is the difficulty in such a substitution ? It is one at which I have virtually hinted above. It would necessitate the imme diate outlay of a large amount of capital on the part of the proprietors in beasts of burden, in agricultural implements, in vehicles of all de scriptions; and, with the exception of the larger proprietors, the owners of the soil of Poland are not in command of any large amount of ready money, They live up to their incomes, if not beyond them ; and, moreover, the greater portion of their revenues is received in kind, and not in money—viz., in the products of the land farmed by themselves. Moreover, if this substitution were made at one and the same time the demand for all kinds of farming stock and plant would be so great that the difficulty I have adverted to would be greatly aggravated by the increased price that must be paid for them. And, further, it is very question able whether the comparatively small sums the land lord would receive as rent would be sufficient to pay the wages - of the new class of labourers. But this is not the only difficulty. From long possession a strong notion of tenant right to the fee simple of their holding has sprung up among the peasantry, which has been very considerably strengthened by the Russian Government. Partly, perhaps, from the small value of land in Russia, partly also from its being almost entirely an agricul tural country, to be possessed of no portion of soil, however small—to be a protetaire, is not only a dis grace, but almost a crime in a Russian's eyes. Hence it was that by an Imperial edict, published I believe peasant a tes2toosrif n t i r n o ce :of scliohnepealthit connection holding.dlrveeli n . t in 1846, no Polish proprietor has the power o f f. j r , e i le taking into his own hands those portions. estate which he has once let out to peasants il,yb:uot; in case of failure of heirs in the peasant ' s family, he is corn his bankruptcy or voluntary departure , pelled to put some other . years, \\ The peasants are, therefore , . the proprietor having tai in some cases The difficulty, then, of others it is fixed tenure and this tenant right this quasi copyb. in lieu of com pulsory it was that claim to 0 the Agricultural Society, with the written permis• the substitution bou r possession.o° fdc And d ea o erd n Y t st e o teho y r2e t b h i el gost paymentsnrh sion of Prince Gorts.chakoff, had given its serious attention.
