ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRWEA ; 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. PICIEFORD. " 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 render. We trust that this may not he 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 Spermatorrheea and the various forms of disease which resemole 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.

COUGHS, ASTHMA, AND INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION ARE EFFECTUALLY CURED BY KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.- Dawlish, Jan. 14, 1858. Sir,—The very excellent pro perties of your lozenges induce me to trouble you with an other testimonial on their behalf. All I can say is that I have been more or less consumptive for upwards of three years, and have tried a great number of lozenges to abate the cough, but from none have I found such relief as from yours—even one of them will check the most violent attack. They are in valuable, and I strongly recommend them to persons suffer ing from a cough or cold on the chest. Pray make any use of this you please if worth your while. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Abraham Turner.

TROPICAL CLIMATES and EUROPEAN CONSTITUTIONS. Persons having occasion to visit Tropical Climates, the in fluence of which is so injurious to European Constitutions, and all mho have at any time resided in those latitudes, have a peculiar personal concern in questions connected with the preservation or restoration of VIGOROUS HEALTH to the frame. By due attention to rules founded on the immutable laws of nature, the deleterious consequences of tropical resi dence can be effectually warded off, or, where such conse quences have been incurred, can be entirely recovered from. To these rules Science points her unerring finger, with a pre cision that enables every one. to fulfil successfully the man agement and hygienic care of functions and faculties whose integrity absolutely governs human happiness in its most important meaning. The numerous individuals concerned in the subject, espe cially those who, from recollections of any vitiating causes or habits contracted at an early age, have specific grounds for uncertainty as to their present or future state of health, may find their fears appeased, and their domestic and personal hopes and wishes realised, by timely recourse to skilled and experienced professional advice. Dr. LA'MERT, of 37, Bedford-square, London, is the only regularly-qualified practitioner on the Medical Register, who for upwards of 20 years has devoted his whole attention to this and kindred branches of investigation. A vast fund of va:uable in formation in reference to the subject in question, as well as the various infirmities of youth and maturity will be found in his work on Nervous and Physi cal Debility, which maybe had, price Is., or free by post for 13 stamps, of Mann, 39, Cornhill ; or from the Author, who may be consulted personally, or by letter, from 11 till 2, and from 8 till 8, at his residence, 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON.

LITER'OOL STEEPLECHASE. Bto I agst Od Ben Roe (taken) 9to 1 agat Franc Picard (taken) 10 to 1 agst ;ealouay (taken) 15 to 1 agat Freshman (taken) TILE NAV.): The Duke of Somerset will hold his first Levee .o-morrow at tie Admiralty, Whitehall. The Princess Royal, 91 ,serew,Caiiiiin C. Fel lowes, flagship of Rear-Admiral It. Smart, K.H., was swung yesterday at the steam guardships' moorings in Rortsmouth Harbour, for the adjust ment of her compasses. The Cockatrice, 4, new class screw gunboat, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, rigged, stored, and armed, is ordered for immediate commission. A Russian steam transport passed through Spit head yesterday frpm the eastward for Southampton Water. The Times correspondent at Plymouth has ob tained, from various sources, details of the recent stranding of the paddlewheel steam sloop Hydra, 6, Commander Richard V. Hamilton, near the island of Cuba. It will be recollected that her crew were 'sfflicted with fever, and that some deaths occurred, an consequence of which she was sent to Halifax, where they were all placed in hospital and the ship fumigated. After this the Hydra was ordered to resume her duties in the West Indies, looking after slave ships and surveying. In the prosecution of the latter duty she left a little place called Baracoa, in the island of Cuba, at 10 a.m, on the 10th of January, and at 4 30 in the afternoon was on shore on a small, unknown, and uninhabited island called Cayo-Moa, near the east end of Cuba. At the time of the accident Mr. Hitchfield, the master, was on the topsail yard, and Mr. Hamilton, her commander, was on the paddlebox. It ap pears that the water there shoaled very sud denly and unexpectedly. They struck about three quarters of a mile from Cayo-Moa, and within 10 minutes' pull of a landing-place. All the coal was thrown overboard, the water started, and every other means adopted for the purpose of lightening the ship. The provisions were sent ashore and tents pitched, and partly here and partly on board the crew remained for four days, during which time they continued without changing their clothes. On the third day, the 13th of January, a severe storm occurred, and it was mach feared that the ship would go to pieces. A heavy purchase had been maintained astern, and, finding on the fourth day that this had slackened, all hands were called to the capstan, and, advantage being taken of a heavy swell, the Hydra was floated off. Just after she was released a Spanish war steamship, with a commodore on board, hove in sight for their relief, the lengthened absence of the Hydra having alarmed the Spanish Admiral. After the Hydra was off measures were adopted for the recovery of her spars, stores, &c., and water for ten days' con sumption was distilled. While doing this it came on to blew heavily, and she was compelled to pro ceed to sea and keep up steam, being unprovided with anchors. The Hydra will, it is said, be docked either at Havannah or Jamaica. Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, 8.C.8., Commander-in- Chief of the North America and West Indies station, was expected at Jamaica, and the future course of the sloop depended in some measure on the Admiral's decision. Some of the crew con sider that she will be condemned as unfit for repair, and that they will be home in April. The island of Cayo-Moa is said not to be laid down in any chart, and the coast near, it is stated, was never before visited by a British ship of war. The crew are reported to have been cheerful and obedient throughout. The screw steam gun vessel Steady, 4, having been masted, was hauled yesterday into the basin at Devonport dockyard, and the riggers have com menced rigging her; the lower rigging is over her mastheads. The screw steam troopship Himalaya, Captain John Seccombe, returned to Plymouth Sound at 1 p.m. yesterday, from her trial strip outside. Capt. Astley C. Key, C. 8., of the guardship of the steam ordinary Indus, 78, Mr. John Trickett, chief engi neer and inspector of machinery at Keyham steam yard; and an officer connected with the building department at the Devonport dockyard went out in her. The screw steam gun vessel Penguin, 5, Lieut. and Commander M. Hardy, left Plymouth Sound at 6.30 p.m. on Monday for the Channel, where it was expected she would join her consort, the frigate Narcissus, and proceed with her to Ascension and the Cape of Good Hope. The Lords of the Mmiraltyhave directed that the construction of the line-a-battle ships Robust and Ocean, in Devonport Dockyard, is to be sus pended. In the present financial year only 200 shipwrights are to be employed on new work, Five artisans less are to be employed in the mast house, boathouse, and carpenter's house. Eight pairs of surveyors are sent back to their original duty as lahr.urers. The undernamed have been nnrriinated to naval cadetships :—Edward George Deedes, Rowland Mack worth, Hugh Askew, Robert Leonard Groome, Richard Dundas Warren, Walter B. Elliott, Herbert C. Sayce, Eustace Frederick Grove, and Frederick J. Grieve. Admiralty notice has been given at Chatham Dockyard that the next competitive examination of the candidates for entry into that establishment as apprentices will take place before the Civil Service Commissioners on the 24th and 25th of June next. The candidates for entry into Sheerness Dockyard are to be sent to Chath am , where they will undergo their examin a tio n . The follo Ring appointments 'were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. the Hon. Henry IL A'Court, to the Aboukir; Lieut. Francis S. Thompson and Lieut. Charles H. Stirling, to the Excellent; B. E. W. Gwynne, master's assistant to the Cossack ; Robert K. Heaven, assist.-paymaster, to the Immortalite ; and Thomas 0. Joynson, as sist. -paymaster in charge, to the We§er. THE ARM'. PRESENTATION OF NEW COLOURS TO THE 42D ROYAL HIGHLANDERS. We are indebted to a correspondent at Bareilly for the following account cf the presentation of new colours to the 42d Royal Highlanders. About half-past eight a.ni., on New Year's-day, the Com mander-in-Chief arrived at Bareilly, and was re ceived by a salute of 17 guns and a guard of honour of the grenadier company, 42d Highlanders, under Captain Gordon, with Lieutenants Haynes, James, Ensign Walter, the Queen's colour, band, and pipes. His excellency, who had a severe fall from his horse at Shajehanpore, appeared in good health and spirits, and intimated his intention of presenting the new colours that evening at five p.m. Accordingly, at that hour the brigade was formed in the following order, forming three sides of a square :-12th Irre gular Cavalry, under Major Watson, and Bth Battery Royal Artillery, under Captain Rideout ; 42d Royal Highlanders in line; the Loyal Poor beah Regiment, under Colonel Jervies, and 3d Company sth Battalion Bengal Artillery. Imme diately after his Excellency had been saluted by the brigade the trooping of the old colours com menced, and, escorted by the grenadier company, were placed on the stand from which the new colours were taken by his Excellency. After a most impressive benediction by the Rev. William Ross, chaplain to the regiment, Sir Hugh Rose presented the colours to Ensigns Walter and Moore, who received them kneeling. They were after wards marched in front of the regiment to their proper position, when Sir Hugh, having mounted, thus addressed the regiment : " 42d Royal Highlanders,—l do not ask you to defend the colours which I have presented to you this day; it would be superfluous ; you have de fended them for nearly 150 years with the best blood of Scotland. Ido not ask you to carry these colours to the front, should you again be called into the field—you have borne them round the world with success. But I do ask the officers and soldiers of this gallant and devoted regiment not to forget, because they are of ancient date, but treasure in their memories the recollection of the brilliant deeds of arms of their forefathers and kinsmen, the scrolls of which are inscribed on these colours. There is not a name on them which is not a study. There is not a name on them which is not connected with the most important events of the world's history, or with the brightest page of the military annals of England. The soldiers of the 42d cannot have a better or more instructive history than their regimental records. They tell how 100 years ago the 42d won the honoured name of Royal at Ticon deroga, in America, losing, although only one bat talion, 647 killed. and wounded. How the 42d gained the red hackle in Flanders. How Aber cromby and Moore, in Egypt and Spain, dying in the arms of victory, thanked with parting breath the 42d. Well might the heroes do so ; the fields of honour on which they were expiring were strewed with the dead and wounded soldiers of the 42d. The 42d enjoy the greatest distinction to which British regiments can aspire. They have been led and commanded by the great master in war, the Duke of Wellington. Look at your colours ; their badges will tell you how often ; and this distinction is the more to be valued because his grace, so soldier like and just was he, never would sanction a regi ment wearing a badge if the battle in which they had been engaged. no matter how bravely they might have fought in it, was not an important one and a victory. In the Crimea, in the late campaign in this country, the 42d again did excellent service under my very gallant and distinguished predecessor, Lord Clyde. The last entry in the regimental records shows that the spirit of the Black Watch of 1729 was the same in 1858, when No. 6 Company of the 42d, aided only by a company of the Kumaon Levi, 4 guns, and a squadron of Irregular Cavalry, under Sir N. Walpole, beat back, alter several hours of obstinate fighting, and severe loss, 2,000 rebels of all arms, and gained the day. Lord Clyde bestowed the highest praise on the company that a general can do • his lordship thanked them f o r th e i r va l our and their discipline. lam sincerely obliged to Lieutenant-Colonel Priestly for having, on the part of the 42d Royal Highlanders, requested me to present to them their new colours. It is an honour and a favour which I highly prize, the more so, because-I .am of Highland origin, and have worn for many years the tartan of another regi ment which does undying honour to Scotland, the 92d Highlanders. I have chosen this day, New Year's day, for the presentation of colours, because on New Year's day, 1785, the colours were given to the 42d under which they won their red plume. Besides, New Year's day all over the world, parti cularly in Scotland, is a happy day. Heaven grant that it may be a fortunate one for this noble regiment." At the conclusion of this address the troops marched past his excellency to quarters. On the following evening the officers gave a grand ball, which was numerously attended, and at which several spirited reels were danced.—lnverness Courier. TEE TEL VER TON MARRIAGE CASE. GREAT DEMONSTRATION: DUBLIN, TUESDAY MoRNING. Half Dublin went literally mad last night. Had a stranger been dropped into the middle of Sack ville.street, or suddenly found himself opposite the Four Courts at an early hour of the evening, he would have imagined the people were celebrating some victory of the. national arms, or that the period of mass meetings and repeal demonstrations had returned. The scene is well described by the Freeman, which says : " One of the greatest demonstrations of popular enthusiasm that perhaps ever - was witnessed in Dublin took place yesterday evening as the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton proceeded from the Four Courts to the Gresham Hotel. It was one of those things that should be seen, as it is impossible to be de scribed. Over 50,000 people frantic with joy pro ceeded to bid her welcome as she issued from the hail. From an early hour in the evening thousands flocked in from every quarter of the city, and waited in feverish anxiety the result of the deliberations of the jury. The highest to the lowest were seen in that crowd anxiously seeking information, and every person who came from the courts was warmly solicited to tell how the trial was going on.' As the evening advanced the rush became so great that it was found necessary to close the outer gates of the court yards. When it was known that the jury had retired to consider their verdict, the crowds, which extended along the entire of Inns-quay, and over the bridge in the direction of Winetavern-street,became feverish.with excitement, and there was not one in the vast multitude that did not hope and fear for the issue of the great trial as if they had a personal and individual interest in it. Shortly after six o'clock the cheering in the interior of the court was taken up outside, and when it was known that the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton had triumphed, one loud cheer burst from every mouth, and was again and again repeated*. Hats were thrown into the . ttit, and every external demonstration of delight was evi denced by all present. Men shook hands with people they did not know, save by the fact that they looked as glad as themselves. Cars were to be seen rushing in every direction, bearing persons anxious to carry the news to distant parts of the city and to the telegraph offices, that the whole empire may be made aware of the result of a trial which had been read with such intense interest. It was when the gates were thrown open that the enthusiasm of the people rose to its height. One mass of waving heads was to be seen in the dis tance, and in the vicinity of the gates. Crowd crushed after crowd to obtain a look at the great woman who had fought so nobly for her honour and for her sex, and who had won the fight. The people insisted that they should draw her in tri umph ,to her hotel. Many sought to have the honour of saying that they assisted in drawing home the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton after she had gained the victory, but they were crushed off by the masses of people who were pushing their way to the cha riot, which stood in the western court yard. About ' seven o'clock the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton, on issuing from the court to take her place in the carriage, was received with vehement cheering. Every win dow of the offices of the courts was crowded, and amid a storm of applause, the carriage occupied by the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton and her friends slowly proceeded through the courtyard to the quay. On issuing from the gateway on the western side the scene was most exciting. The joy of everybody was to be seen and heard everywhere. In the centre of the great moving multitude was to be observed the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton's carriage borne along by the people. The procession turned down Capel-street into Mary-street, and it would beggar all experience to give an adequate idea of the vast body of enthusiastic people that preceded and fol lowed the, carriage as it passed through Henry street. In anticipation of the arrival of the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton, the space in front of the Gresham Hotel was crowded to such an extent that it was almost impossible for horses or vehicles to pass the street. The bases of Nelson's Pillar were fully occupied by persons who joined in the cheering of the thousands who were now approaching, who surrounded the carriage of a great and brave woma n who had suffered much and had conquered in the end. The Repays at both sides of Upper Sack ville-street became densely crowded. Cars contain ing persons who sought to be in time took up posi tion in the centre of the street, and now came the great crowd, with the carriage in the centre. Cheer after cheer came from the hearts of the people, and mid a scene of perhaps unsurpassed excitement, the carriage, which was rolled up the left hand side of Sackville-street until it came in front of the hotel, crossed the street, and drew up at the centre entrance. The warmth of the enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds, and a considerable time elapsed before space could be made for the lady to pass into the hotel. The people, amidst tremen dous cheering, waving of hats and handkerchiefs, called loudly for the Hon. Mrs.Yelverton. In com pliance with the universal call of the vast multi tude, numbering many thousands, she presented herself at one of the drawing-room windows. THE MAILS.

YELVERTON. " When the enthusiastic applause which her pre sence excited had subsided, she came forward on the balcony and said : " ' My noble•hearted friends, you have made me this day an Irishwoman, by the verdict that I am the wife of an Irishman. (Vehement cheering.): ‘" I glory to belong to such a noble-hearted nation. (Great cheering.) You will live in my heart for ever, as I have lived in your hearts this day. (Tremendous applause.) " ' lam too weak to say all that my heart de sires, but you will accept the gratitude of a heart that was made sad and is now made glad. (Loud cheers.) _ _ " Farewell for the present, but for ever I belong in heart and soul to the people of Dublin.' " The Hon: Mrs. Yelverton then withdrew amidst loud and long-continued cheering. The people slowly retired, and many of them observed that Sergeant Armstrong's prayer had been heard, as God had defended the right.' THETERDICT-INCIDENTS IN THE COURT. The Morning News publishes the following graphic sketch : " At 14 minutes past six the door of the jury box was seen to open, and the cry ran through the court, Here they are !' It was even so. Oh, how every heart thrilled. All the excitement of days was intensified and concentrated into that one moment. The judge was called from his chamber. In the box overhead, on the right of the bench, sat Mrs. yet. verton's aunt, next to whom sat Major Yelverton's uncle, who has all through declared and manifested the warmest and most affectionate sympathy for Mrs. Yelverton and his belief in her heroic virtue. Next to this gentleman was seated Mrs. Yelverton's relative, Count Louis de Pransay. " And the injured wife—she, the most deeply and terribly to be affected of all by the words just about being spoken—where was she ? In the adjoining room she had been awaiting, with what agony of mind God alone'may know, the moment that had now arrived. She heard the call that summoned the judge to receive the verdict. She fell on her knees, with hands clasped upwards to heaven in prayer ! Courage ! courage !' said her friends, who ran over. Courage—For God's sake be calm now.' God will not desert me,' was her answer. Sud- • denly—an explosion —a deafening roar—ten thou sand peals of thunder—what is it—what is it—a wild, mad cry of joy bursts through the passage. Great God! Thy justice is manifested—the right has triumphed, and all is over ! " To say that words are weak to describe the scene is only to repeat an often used figure of speech. Those only who saw it will ever form an adequate idea of it. When the judge en tered the whole audience rose, and amidst a silence in which breath was held, he questioned the jury— " How say you, gentlemen—do you find there was a legal Scotch marriage ?' "' ti'l'e do, my lord.' - " How say you, gentlemen—was there a legal Irish marriage?' " Yes, my lord. • " Then do you find Major Yelverton was a Catholic on the latter occasion ?' "' Yes, my lord.' " When the first answer was given there was not a word uttered by the audience. But the moment the Irish marriage was declared valid, and a jury mainly composed of Protestants, to their eternal honour be it spoken, had thus shown their abhor rence of an infamous penal law, there arose a shout which rent the air. Again, again, again—for fully a quarter of an hour it lasted—a scene of frantic rejoicing. At the first word of the jury the aunt of Mrs. Yelverton burst into tears, while at the same moment, amidst the wild cheering of the spectators,herliand was grasped and warmly wrung by the Hon.

An "eye-witness" describes the following affect .ng scene : _ "One of the most exciting yet impressive scenes connected with this marvellous trial was the meet ing which took place on Saturday evening, in Judge Viiribtian's chamber, between the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton and Mr. Whiteside, upon the conclusion of his reply. When he entered the chamber, she arose from amongst the circle of her immediate and particular friends to meet her illustrious advocate. She clasped both his hands i❑ herS, pressed them warmly to her over-burdened bosom, hissed them fervently, and bathed them in a copious flood of grateful tears, gushing from the inmost recesses of her heart. It was as imposing a spectacle, perhaps, as ever took place between a client and an advocate, and one that never can be effaced from the memories of the privileged few who were fortunate enough to witness it—the natural, sudden, spontaneous, and impulsive tribute of gratitude, paid by a noble nature to the brilliant and matchless advocacy of, transcendant genius." MR. LAING. In reply to a questionin Parliament in reference o the connexion of Mr. Samuel Laing with the affairs of the Great Western of Canada Railway, Sir Charles "Wood intimated that the subject should be entirely deferred until Mr. Laing had an op portunity of explaining or answering the charges brought against him. It is hardly fair, however, to Mr. Laing that the case should be left for three or four months on this footing, as if the allegations contained in the report of the Investigating—Com mittee were of such a character that they must be looked upon as incapable of collection until Mr.. Laing shill have supplied us from India with evidence to controvert them.. Full materials for judgment are.,already before the, public. The Committee of Investigation called upon Mr. Laing for explanations before he left this country, in order that any statements they might feel it neces sary to embody in their report should in fairness be accompanied by whatever antidote it might be in his power to furnish. Mr. Laing accepted this offer, and his evidence, voluntarily given, and of whichl we had the opportunity of correcting the printed proofs, is published in full in the appendix to that report. It is to this evidence that the com mittee appeal in support of the accuracy of their charges, and the only question is whether it really bears them out. If it does not do so, there can be no occasion to trouble - Mr. Laing, in the midst of his arduous and complicated duties in India, to go over the matter again; and if, on the contrary, it demonstrates the justice of the attack, nothing that. Mr. Laing may now state can invalidate the effect of his previous deliberate admissions. It is the business, therefore, of all who feel an interest in upholding the character of our public servants to read the report and evidence and not allow an impression to circulate for months that something very bad has been discovered with regard to Mr. Laing, unless from an examination of these documents they feel that there is no escape from such a conclusion. It would be interesting to know how many there are among the hundreds of persons who during the last fortnight have been unhesitatingly accepting and spreading the idea that, while France and America have been respec tively scandalised by M. Mires and Mr. Secretary Floyd, England could also furnish a disagreeable case, have really made themselves acquainted with the precise nature of the imputation on Mr. Laing, and of the grounds upon which it has been based. The public will be surprised to learn that in the whole affair there is not a single point upon which Mr. Laing has manifested the slightest desire for concealment, or withheld an explanation, The as sertions of the committee apparently are, that Mr. Laing many years ago, while he was a provisional director, and inviting the public to subscribe for shares in connection with this Canadian undertak ing, entered into an agreement with Mr. Wythcs, the contractor, to share the risk and receive a por tion of the profits of the contract; that Alr. Laing, after he had ceased to be a director, accompanied Mr. Wythes to the board-room, and acted as an advocate for his claims ; and, finally, that he re ceived for his services in getting up the railway a commission on the amount of capital subscribed. With regard to the first of these, the answers given by Mr. Laing are free from reservation. He states that, although his name was used as a provisional director or trustee, in the early stages of the affair, as soon as he came into any sort of position of prac tical responsibility to the shareholders, he recog nised that he must h ave no thi ng t o do with the profits of the contractor, and that he immediately gave up the agreement. All his colleagues knew what had passed, and he never derived a farthing from that source. On the second point, that of attending the meetings of directors in company with Mr. Wythes, he represents that it was for the pur pose of affording explanations; and on the third —namely, the receipt of a commission, he admits that it was at the time part of his business to assist in getting up public companies for a definite remu neration—a fact which has for years been well known, and which, if it is to be used i n a d amag i ng sense, should have been broughtforward previously to Mr. Laing's being called to high offices of State, and not after years of service at the most critical period of his duties. The most striking points, however, in favour of Mr. Laing are, that while he was in the midst of all his arrangements for India, and within a week or two of his departure, he gave the committee every facility in their in quiries ; that he did not refuse to answer any question whatever ; that he finally asked the committee if there was any further circum stance on which they wished for more satisfac tory light, and that the committee evaded this appeal, and did not intimate to him their intention to make any charge or insinuation, when, if they had done so, and stated its precise grounds, he might have known where they were dissatisfied, and have added anything to his evidence to meet the defect. It is also to be remarked that, although the inquiry may have been conducted with all due courtesy, the report reads like that of a cross examination in some inferior court. Indeed, this peculiarity so plainly forced itself on the percep tions of Mr. Laing that he felt it necessary to in timate that if the committee published any asper sions on his character, without also publishing his explanations, his proper and inevitable alternative would be to bring the matter before a jury —an announcement which, although made in a perfectly temperate manner, was immediately seized upon by the committee as a most " improper threat" for which they " did not care one fig." There is no reason to doubt that the committee only desired to do their duty, but it is difficult to read their report without a sense of its being pervaded by a strong animus. This may have been caused partly by the extent of the general mismanagement actually brought under tjacir notice, and partly by the fact that a 'large number of the shareholders are known to be of opinion that the committee, by delegating the principal portion of their functions to paid accountants, hhaveitmis curred an extraordinary outlay necessary to present a striking for equivalent. whi Whatever may be the inferenc e in in these bre spects, all that is necessary to insisted upon statementsthe jus tice is, that no persons should accept thee him against Mr, Laing without ac co rding for which, knowing that he would be absent from this country, he e specially stipulated—namely, a perusal of his own evidence. They may consider that his evidence shows or worse ; but whatever it is worth may be more ortl let them yetform t i laxity, or want of caution, their own opinion upon T to come out, but it i s t o be hoped . that any futur e charges that may be made will be of a strictly defi nite c haracter. Even in their chief accusation the committee wander from facts to assumptions. Finding it necessary to quote Mr. Laiug's explana tion, they seek to deprive it of value by the suggs tion that he " may have had other o bj ects in vievc and in another paragraph, while eh erri ng th at " Mr. Laing alleges that it was all open and above board and known to all his colleagues in the man agement of both companies," they add that they "do not find such to have been the fact." The mere assumption that Mr. Laing had other objects in view inconsistent, withlight, intentions is unworthy of introduotien into a fern - 1.31 business report, end the statement, in Mr. Laing's absence, thet the coin mitke do not find his allegation respecting his coll eagues to have been true, should not have been made without the proofs of its falsehood being quoted.—Times' City Article.
