By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. Byhis systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab_ contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

T ROPICAL CLIMATES and EUROPEAN CONSTITUTIONS. Persons having occasion to visit Tropical Climates, the in fluence of which is so injurious to European Constitutions, and all who 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 wardel 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 suocessfiilly 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. LAWERT, of 3', 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 ea: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 ls., 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 6 till 8, at his residence, 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON.

Risk, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir B. Walker, experienced light winds at first, but on Tuseday had very heavy weather from W. and W.N.W. She shipped several seas, and ere of her bowports was washed in, and it was determined to wear ship for Plymouth. At 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon steam was got up,, and she entered the Sound at half-past 8 yesterday (Thursday) morning. In lat. 49 46 N., long. 3 40 W., 20 miles off the land, on Tuesday evening, at half-past 8 o'clock, the Penguin sighted to windward a large frigate steaming north, with what appeared to be an admiral's flag, blue, at the mizon. She was supposed to be the Narcissus, but was too far off to signal. It has been determined by the authorities at Plymouth to have now cylinders put on board the screw steam troopship Himalaya, Capt. John Seccombe. This determination will cause a considerable delay ,in the conveyance of a large detachment of Royal Artillery, which bas been some time waiting in Plymouth Citadel for transport to Woolwich.

AIR. SPURGEON'S METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE' —The committee entrusted with the erection of this edifice have [issued a circular informing their friends and the public that it is now nearly completed. The amount re quired has been obtained with the exception of about £3,000, which sum it is believed will be raised by means of a bazaar, and contributions given at the opening meetings. These preliminary proceedings will commence on Monday, the 18th inst , at seven o'clock in the morning, by a prayer meeting—the bazaar will commence on the following day, and be continued throughout the week; and meetings, sermons, lectures, &c., will take place almost daily (Sun - days .(seepted) during a month. No consideration will, it is said, induce Mr. Spurgeon to allow the building to be used on a Sunday until the whole of the liabilities are dis charged. The proceeds of the collections after payment of contracted liabilities, will be needed for the completion of the front boundaries, the fitting up of the schools, furnish ing the students' class-rooms, and other works which the committee have not as yet commenced. They have left many matters to be finished when the funds shall be forth coming rather than get into debt, but they are sanguine 'that before these preliminary meetings are over the build ing will have been finished in every department.

LORD BACON v. DR. TEMPLE AND OTHERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—Dr. Temple and the other surviving contributors to the " Essays and Reviews" may perhaps deem " The Student's Prayer," though from the pen of so great a man as Lord Bacon, to be entirely superseded by the progres sion and advancement of modern enlightenment, but this production of the great philosopher, recognising, as it does, in the most striking manner, the supremacy, not of "con science," but of the "Divine oracles," and anticipatively providing against the groat danger of increased " natural light " being promotive, not f intelligent reverence towards the " Divine mysteries," but rather of " incredulity and intellectual night," will, I doubt not, be considered by many and by you, sir, also, as being peculiarly applicable to the present age, and by no means antiquated or obsolete. I therefore transcribe the prayer from Lord Bacon's works. I am, sir, your constant reader, A BARRISTER. Old-square, Lincoln's-inn, March 4. " TILE STUDENT'S PRAYER. "To God the Father, God the Word, God the Spirit, we pour forth most humble and hearty supplications, that He, remembering the calamities of mankind, and the pilgrimage of this our life, in which we wear out days few and evil, would please to open unto us new refreshments out of the fountains of His goodness, for the alleviation of our miseries. This else we most humbly and earnestly beg, that human things may not prejudice such as are divine; neither that from the unlocking of the gates of sense, and the kindling of a greater natural light, anything of incredulity, or intel lectual night, may arise in our minds towards Divine mys terieb. But rather that our mizd, being thoroughly cleansed and purged from fancy and vanities, and yet subject and perfectly given up to the Divine oracles, there may be given unto faith the things that are faith's. Amen." THE YELVERTON 111.4R.RIAOR CASE. DUBLIN, THURSDAY. A preliminary meeting of some friends and ad mirers of the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton was held yester day " for the purpose of considering the best means of giving expression to the public feelings of sym pathy for her during the late trial ; and it was unanimously resolved that a committee should be ap pointed for the purpose of collecting and receiving subscriptions to assist in defraying the vast expenses likely to be required for future litigation." In connexion with this case Professor Jukes has pub lished a letter in this morning's paper contradicting some false rumours in reference to Mrs. Forbes. This lady's letter, which is given by the Professor, her late husband's particular friend, will be read with interest. Mr. Jukes writes My colleague, Edward Forbes ,was married on the 31st of August, 1848, to Emily Marianne Ashworth, daughter of the late General Sir Charles Ashworth ; and I made her acquaintance a fortnight afterwards at Llangollen, which was just then the headquar ters of the Geological Survey in North Wales. Miss Ashworth was entitled, under her father's will, to a property, half the income of which she then enjoyed, and the other half will come to her on the death of her mother, Lady Ashworth. "As Forbes's income was mainly derived from his scanty pay on the Geological Survey, her friends wisely made it a preliminary to their consent to the marriage that he should insure his life for £3,000, which, very shortly after his marriage, was raised to £4,000. " In the beginning of the year 1854 Forbes resigned his connexion with the Geological Survey OR ,his appointment to the Chair of Natural History in ;Edinburgh, and he died, alas ! on November, the 18th, 1854, leaving two children, a son and a daughter. " The half of Mrs. Forbes's share of the Ashworth property, and the £4,000 are secured to these two children on their mother's death, the whole capital of both kinds being strictly settled and in the hands of trustees. _ _ 1' After Forbes's death our intercourse with her was chiefly by letter, and in June, 1858, we received one announcing her intended marriage with Major Yeiverton: This letter is written in all the playful, careless confidence of ladies' correspondence, but I venture to quote from it one or two passages : " ' 1, Randolph-cliff, Jun• 15. " Dearest Mrs. Jukes,—Consider all apologies as made for not writing sooner,—l am so busy, —up to my eyes in letters, and law, and botheration ; and I suppose I must tell you ; but—. lam going to make a fool of myself in my old age I • and—and—and I am going to marry Major William Yelverton, Lord Avonmore's son. "'Now, 1 hope you and Mr. Jukes will not hate me for it, but I cannot live alone, and it does not at all follow that, because the present is unbearable, the past is forgotten. I hate not had the courage to tell a soul except my own family, but I must tell you.. . . It is to be very soon, —this month,—there is no use in dawdling,—l am afraid of myself, and there is nothing to wait for, so it is to be soon and very quiet, no fuss and no finery, just his brother and mine, and his father and my mother. How people will abuse me I I dread it. . . . The Allmans,t of course, know because she has been about me all the time, and has seen a great deal of him.' " She has since informed me that when she first consented to marry Major Yelverton (about May 12th or 14th) she fixed September for the wedding, but on hearing from her only brother that he was going abroad with his wife early in July, and could only come to Scotland during the last week in June, and also hearing that the end of June was the most convenient time for Major Yelverton's brother to come to Scotland, she consented to the marriage taking place then. She also was afraid of herself,' and that if she had so long to deliberate might retract her consent, and thus again condemn herself to the solitude of a home haunted with sad memories. The banns of marriage were accordingly pro • claimed in two parish churches in Edinburgh—St. Cuthbert's, the parish in which she resided, and In that in which Edinburgh Castle is situated, for Major Yelverton's parish; and the marriage was celebrated in the church of Trinity by the Very Rev. Dean Ramsay, in the' presence of her own brother and sister, her children, Miss Jefferies (the lady who had been residing with her), and four or five intimate friends; Major Yelverton's brother (since deceased; being present on his side. " This was on the 26th of June, 1858, about three years and seven months after the death of Edward Forbes. " Major Yelverton had previously confessed to her in general terms that his former life had not been a steady one, and that he had had a mistress, not mentioning ler name; but said that that con nexion was completely and finally broken off. " She had no legal consultation previous to the marriage, except with her own solicitor, respecting her marriage settlements, which secured to her her life-interest in all the property to which her children are entitled ; this, of course, being done with Major Yelverton's full knowledge and concurrence. "No intimation was ever given to her by any one that any woman claimed to be the lawful wife of Major Yelverton until June 30 (four days after the marriage), when Major Yelverton was informed from Dean Ramsay that a Roman Catholic clergy man had waited upon him, and shown him the Rev. Father Mooney's certificate. " Major Yelverton, accompanied by Mrs. Yel verton's brother, went the next day, the Ist of July, to Ireland to investigate this matter, leaving Mrs. Yelverton in her own house with her elder sister, the wife of Colonel Cameron. " Major Yelverton returned from Ireland on the 7th of July, bringing the legal opinion of Dr. Gayor and others that the alleged marriage was, under the circumstances submitted to them, null and void. "No allegation of a Scotch marriage was then made in any quarter, nor till a long time afterwards. " Major Yelverton, therefore, returned to his wife, her sister still remaining with them, until they shortly afterwards came over to Ireland on a visit to the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Yelverton and to Lord and Lady Avonmore. " I have written this letter under a serious—l might, perhaps, say solemn—feeling of d u ty t o th e memory of Edward Forbes, and to the future pro spects of his son and daughter, and with as deep a feeling of my responsibility for its exa c t t ru th as if I stood in the presence of a Court of Justice ; and I unhesitatingly assert my conviction of the perfect propriety of conduct observed by the lady in whose behalf I have written it throughout the whole transaction." A playful exaggeration of her real age, which was not much more than 30. t Dr. Allman was Forbes's successor. CREME DE LA CREME.—It is quite a mistake to suppose that the Rev. Edward Cheese —the distinguished son-in-law of the Bishop of Durham, and the new incum bent of Naughton-le-Skerne—is Of humble origin. We are assured that he is of a very old familyin Cheshire.—Pu n ch I 1 [ADVE RTlSEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment an d Pill s. — Sound Skin.—There aro many complaints of the skin, which for their cure only require domestic management, and for which the mother or nurse, armed with Holloway's remedies, is the best doctor.

Mr. Lincoln said : Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen,—l have just en jay ed the honour of a reception by the other branch of this Legislatur e , an d I return to you and them my thanks for the reception which the people of New Jersey have given,. through their chosen re presentatives, to me as their representative, for the time being, of the majesty of th e p eop l e o f the United States. I appropriate to myself very little of the demonstrations of respect with which I have been greeted. I think little should be given to any man, but that it should be a manifestation of adherence to the Union and the constitution. I understand myself to be re ceived here by the representatives of the people of New Jersey, a majority of whom differ in opinion from them with whom I have acted. This manifes tation is, therefore, to be regarded by me as ex pressing their devotion to the Union, the constitu tion, and the liberties of the people. You, Mr. Speaker, have well said that this is a time when the bravest and wisest look with doubt and awe upon the aspectpresented by our national affairs. Under these circumstances you will readily- see why I should not speak in detail of the coarse I shall deem it best to pursue. It is proper that I should avail myself of all the information and all the time at my command, in order that when the time arrives in which I mustspeak officially, I shall be able to take the ground which I deem the best and safest, and from which I may have :no occasion to swerve. I shall endeavour to take the ground I deem most just to the Nortb, the East, the West, the South, and the whole country. I take it, I hope, in good temper; certainly no malice towards any section. I shall do all that may be in my power to promote a peaceful settlement of all our difficulties. The man does not live that is more devoted to peace than I am. (Cheers.) None who would do more to pre serve it, but it may be necessary to put the foot down firmly. (Here the audience broke out in cheers so long and loud, that for some moments it was impossible to hear Mr. Lincoln's voice.) He continued—And if I do my duty and do right you will sustain me, will you not? (Loud cheers and cries of "Yes, y es; we w ill . ") R eceived asl am by the members of a legislature, the majority of whom do not agree with me in political sentiments, I trust that I may have their assistance in pilot ing the ship of state through this voyage, sur rounded as it is by perils ; for if it should suffer attack now, there will be no pilot ever needed for another voyage. TILE MIRES AFFAIR. .54 The Mires affair is said to be assuming a more serious aspect. He is kept in close custody, and not allowed to communicate with any one for the present. M. Collet Meygrel, formerly director of the Surete Publique, and subsequently Receiver- General at Lons le Saulnier, has, it is said, been removed from his post, and the name of M. Ba roche's son is again spoken of as being in some way connected with M. Mires. The speech of M. Dupin in the Senate on Monday on " the Mires affair," and the moral complicity of the Paris press, as well as the few words spoken by M. Billault on the same subject, are well worthy of attention. M. Dupin quoted the words of the celebrated Chancellor L'Hopital, addressed to the R,ouenParliament, against abuses of a similar kind on the part of some high functionaries of the day, and the applause which greeted the quotation told that the allusion was understood. "At present," said M. Dupin, quoting the rebuke administered by L'Hopital, , " Things have reached such a point that nothing what ever is done without money. You cannot keep the name of Senators, of Prud'hommes, and fair judges with y our greediness for vile lucre. Assuredly he who seek to enrich himself by such means though rich in goods is poor in honour. The merchandise is dear indeed if bought by loss of reputation and glory. I had rather be poor, like the President de la Vaquerie, than possess the wealth of that favourite to whom his master was forced to say, ' Ah, now really, Raulin, this.is too bad 1' " This bit was received with much laughter, and with cries of " Very good ! very good !" M. Dupiu was equally happy in his allusion to the conduct of the daily press on the occasion of the Turkish loan : "The press," he said, "so ready to criticise the acts of Government, did not on recent occasions perform its duty to the public. (Cries of Perfectly true; quite right.') Every one of us may have read a crowd of articles puffing certain operations, or displaying in the eyes of the people the great advantages offered to small as well as great capi talists in taking their money to certain counting-houses. They spoke even to satiety of the large interest promised of from 10 to 11 per cent, for such and such an operation ; and not a single paper said, But, citizens, beware I Such high interest is never given except by incurring the risk —the almost certain risk, of losing the greatest part of the capital.' A number of poor people allowed themselves to be caught, and thus funds were lent to the Seraglio which the eunuchs will not pay back. (Laughter and Bravo.')" PRICE 41) . STAMPED, SD, 81R BALD WIN WALKER• For the first time in memory there has been a chase after a British admiral. All the world—we mean the British world—wants to stop the admiral. " Stop the Admiral" has been telegraphed to every port. " Stop the Admiral" is still the order at Spithead and in Plymouth Sound. Where can he be ? Ships have gone in chase of him, electric sparks fly to and fro to iunimon him , to ,surrender, the : House of Commons demands him ; and, fore most among all, the energetic and frank and can did seaman who is now the Secretary to the Ad miralty makes himself almost übiquitous in his eagerness to discover the fugitive. What can have becdme of him ? He put to sea in a gale of wind which would have blown the teeth out of the head of any other admiral. Whether it was that he was so anxious to go and fight the Kaffirs, or whether he pined to shak e h an d s w i t h hi s o ld friend Sir Harry Keppel, whom he is going to relieve, or whether he was so accustomed to Admiralty vacil lation that he feared to be recalled, nobody knows • but he was in a terrible hurry to be off. He sailed in a hurricane ; then we heard of him as buffeting with the storm in the Channel, and, driVan by sheer stress of weather, he was in Yar mouth Roads on . Monday morning. Lord Clarence Paget believed that he was boxing about the Channel on Tuesday. Everybody thinks that ha cannot even now be very far off, but nobody can find him. Ilut why do we want to stop the Admiral? Why do want to interfere with his cruise? He is going ,o see that nobody steals all the turtle from , the :sland of Ascension, and after that to take care that the Table Mountain is not occupied in force by ple Gorilla's emigrating southwards. These. are services not lightly to be interrupted. A day —an hour, might be fatal to the success of either of them. Should we not rather rejoice that the Admiral has escaped his foes, and is away in the tempest, exulting in his freedom and speeding to his great destinies ? Perhaps a little explanation is necessary. The chased Admiral is no other than Sir Baldwin Walker, Bart., K.C.B. He has been Surveyor of the Navy ever since Sir Robert Peel's time. He knows everything that is done and everything that is left undone. He knows how the ships are built, and why they rot, and how much they cost, and how much they ought to cost, and why they won't sail and steam as they ought to sail and steam ; and why heaps of money are i wasted in doing badly what might be well done for half the money ; and why we break up every crew And turn them adrift as soon as we have got them into a state of efficiency ; and why hosts of clerks are kept writing letters about half pennyworths of rope-yarn and half-pounds of can dles; and how and why the financial system of the Admiralty is an ingenious system for saving at the spigot and spending atithe bunghole. Sir Baldwin Walker knows all this and a great deal more. Well, suppose he does know it. Let him go to sea and take his knowledge with him. He has known it a great many years, and has not been permitted to unburden himself of his knowledge. Yes, but by a curious coincidence there is a Committee of the House of Commons about to be appointed to tap the Admiral and to draw all this out of him, and bottle it off into blue-books. Some people have actually been so base as to insinuate that the Admiral is desirous of avoiding this process, and that there are somewhere or other people who are even more desirous than the Admiral himself that he should not be submitted to it. This, however, is calumny of the foulest kind. We have the best posSible authority for knowing—for we have the debates in the House of Commons for the fact— that all the Ministers have been most anxious that everything connected with the Admiralty should be made as public as debates and blue-books and newspapers can make it. If it be an unfortunate fact that the Admiral is gone it is they who have most to deplore it. The most ill-treated man in this business is not the Admiral—for ho has ,got off—but it is that frank hearted, outspoken, candid seaman, who made such capital speeches about reforming the Ad miralty and saving us £5,000,000 a-year when he was in Opposition, and who is now doing it, in his own way, as Secretary to the Admiralty. If the House of Commons had only told him in time that they wanted Sir Bald win Walker nothing would have been easier than to delay him, even at the risk of the turtles and the Table Mountain. But the house never told him, and how could he be expected to know without being told ? It is true that Sir John Pakington was continually boring about the subject, and that the Admiral who was going to mo r e for the committee was importunate, and that the house seemed to think that it would be too strong a measure, oven for the most candid of officials, to send away the Admiral under existing circumstances. But then the house had never come to any resolution upon the subject, and how can the house expect that any one shall know what it means unless it does come to a resolution ? See, however, what happened when the house did seem very much inclined to come to a resolution, and when the Premier was obliged to undertake, for the Admiralty, that the Admiral should be stopped. Lord Clarence Paget then showed what real vigour he possessed. He seems to have feared a superfluous amount of zeal. Like a dancer who scorns to dance a common hornpipe, but loads himself with chains to show under what difficulties he can do the feat, Lord Clarence Paget scorned to go into the lobby of the House of Commons, and then forthwith telegraph to " Stop the Admiral" in Yarmouth Roads, or wherever else he was then reported to be. He went home and slept upon it; he got up the next morning and he considered it, and then when he had generously given his game a good fair start, he deliberately loosed the slowest dog in his whole pack. Lord Clarence Paget is not the man to take an unfair advantage of a flying friend. Sir John Pakington, who we fear has little chivalry in his soul, was not quite satisfied with this. He com plained that the Avon, being the slowest ship that bears a pennant, was not likely to catch the Nar cissus frigate, which we may be sure has a very different reputation, or Sir Baldwin 'Walker would not have chosen her as his flagship. Lord Clarence, however, explained that the Avon was sent out, not to catch the Narcissus, but to "cut her off," and Sir John Pakington, probably feeling himself " done," said no more. We apprehend that Sir John was not very much surprised when he read that the Avon returned to the Sound on -Wednes day night, having seen nothing of the Narcissus. So the Admiral is off, free as the bird which Eneas tied to the masthead so long ago. Like that bird, the arrow which Sir John Pakington shot at him seems only to have set him free. But we will not quite despair yet. Sir John Pakington will recol lect that after the Admiral had weighed anchor he was recalled to Spithead by telegram, and received a visit from the Port Admiral at Portsmouth, who went aboard to communicate the last orders of the Admiralty. At this time the Duke of Somerset and Lord Clarence Paget were in some doubt as to what the desires of the House of Commons really were in this matter. It is not probable that the last directions from the Port Admiral were that Sir Baldwin Walker should touch at some convenient port before he got out of the home seas, in case the House of Commons should make up their mind to require his presence? If so, another arrow may yet bring the bird down. We think this so very likely that we should recommend the Committee to ask the Port Admiral if any anything did pass upon this subject at that last interview.--Times. Mr. John Maddox, so well known in connexion with the Princess's Theatre, expired on Tuesday morning at his residence at Brompton, after a protracted and painful illness. The deceased, who was of the Jewish persuasion, was lessee of the theatre in question at its opening, and re mained so till his death. He was also manager of the house for many years. THE LATE M. SCRIBE'S MARRIAGE. —A letter from Paris says :—" Now that Scribe is no more, several matters known only to a few are more generally talked of. His marriage took place late in life ( a go 67), and was quite as dramatic as any in his multifarious stage imaginings. Calling one day at his notary's office, a lady in deep sorrow was going out from the es tablishment, her grief being so poignant that he had the curiosity to ask about her, and was informed that her husband was on the verge of bank ruptcy, not being able to meet liabilities unexpected and unforeseen. Scribe asked what amount would stave off the misfortune, and being told 50,000 f., left orders to have that sum advanced on the husband's note at a year's date. The year had not elapsed before a second meeting occurred at the same office, when Scribe remarked that the lady was in deep mourning. The husband was dead. The same lady was to be seen in the church of St. Rock last Friday. Madame Scribe was in widow's weeds once more." Dover and Calais are now within 1* hours of each other.

Atnong those present were Lord Teynham,Lieu tenant-General Thompson, Mr. James Bonwick, of Melbourne, Sce. The chair was to have been taken by the Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley, M.P., but as that gentleman had not arrived at the hour appointed (seven o'clock), Mr. Whitehurst, the vice-president of the society, was called to the chair. The CPIAIRMAN, in opening the business of the evening, said he had no doubt that Mr. Berkeley had been unexpectedly detained by his duties in the HouFe of Commons, but that he would no doubt arrive presently, as he had given his pro mise to attend. He would in the meantime open the business, and was happy to say that gentle men were present from many parts of the coun try who were greatly interested in the question of the ballot., If those who advocated the ballot only made their influence bear as was done in the case of the census, they could not fail of success. Thirty years ago Lord John Rus sell said, in writing to the electors of Stroud, that he had included the ballot in the plan of Reform which he had submitted to the Cabinet of Earl Grey, and all they asked was that. Lord John would return to the advocacy of his old principles. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Whitehurst was proceeding with fur ther remarks, when the Hon. Mr. Berkeley entered the room, and took the chair amid loud cheers. j Mr. J. F. BoNTEms then read letters of apology from the following gentlemen :—Sir J. V. Shelley, M P., Mr. W. Tite, M.P., Mr. James White, M.P., Mr. Gilpin, M.P., Mr. Hadfield, M.P., Colonel Sykes, M.P., Mr. Edmund Potter, Manchester; Crossley, Halifax ; Mr. F. Steiner, Acrinktori - ; Rev. W. Griffith, Derby; and the Mayor of Ipswich. Letters were also read from Sir Charles Douglas, M.P., Mr. William Hargreaves, Mr. James Heywood, and the Rev. Michael D. Jones, Bala. General THomPsoN was then called on to move the first resolution, and said, as he had lost his seat in the House of Commons because he was opposed to piratical wars, and had not therefore mingled much in public, but as he was an old advocate of the ballot, he had felt it his duty to be present at this meeting. He did not know that there was much reason to address them at any length, for every man felt that in his own neighbourhood the protection of the ballot was greatly needed. (Hear, hear.) He therefore felt great pleasure in moving the first resolution, in the wording of which he cordially, concurred. The gallant general con cluded by moving the following resolution :—" That as a Strong breeze of public opinion is necessary to carry any measure of Reform through the House of Commons, and over the bar of the House of Lords,' this meeting calls upon the constituencies of the United Kingdom to give such an unmistake able expression of the opinion which everywhere exists, in favour of protecting the electors by the ballot, as shall ensure during the present session the passing of a bill to secure that object." The Rev. ROBERT SPEARS, of Stockton-upon- Tees, seconded the resolution. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. POPE, of Manchester, moved the second re solution, which was as follows :—" That as the Go vernment proposes, during the present session of Parliament, further to legislate on the subject of corrupt practices at elections, and as experience shows that penal laws are powerless to secure purity or freedom of election, the time has arrived for more vigorous action in Parliament in be half of the ballot than has yet been made, and this meeting respectfully but earnestly requests those members of Parliament who are favourable to this only effectual protection to the suffrage to co operate in active measures to induce the leading members of the Ministry, in deference to the views of the great majority of their supporters, at least not to oppose the bill for the protection of voters, proposed to be brought in by the Hon. F. Henry F. Berkeley, M.P." He quite agreed, he said, with his friend General Thompson, that the subject of the ballot was pretty well talked out. He cordially approved of the resolution. Mr. HONEYWOOD, of Horsham, seconded the re solution, and bore his testimony to the rapid pro gress which the ballot question was making in Horsham. Mr. DANN, of Reigate, spoke shortly in support of the resolution. The Rev. Mr. BONNER also supported the resolu tion. Mr. EBENFZER CLAREE, of Essex, next spoke in support of the resolution, which was agreed to. Mr. Alderman TOWLE, of Oxford, moved the next tesolution, which was as follows :—" That recog nising with gratitude the strenuous exertions of the executive committee, and their success in maintain ing and strengthening the position of the ballot question, both in Parliament and in the country, this meeting calls on every friend of Parliamentary reform to enrol himself among the members of this society, and on all its present members, largely to increase its income, and thus to enable the execu tive committee to continue and increase their exertions until the ballot shall have become the law of the land." They had succeeded in the Tory town of Oxford in returning two members who are in favour of the ballot. It was true Mr. Card well was in the Ministry, and mi g ht no t vote i n favour of it in consequence, but they mi g ht d epen d upon it he would not vote against it. Hear, hear.) Mr, CUNNINGHAM, of Brentford, seconded the resolution. Mr. Cilluis, of Bungay, supported the resolu tion, and referred to the doings at Norwich, Ips wich, Sudbury, and other places, where they had seen the deplorable results which the system of open voting had engendered. The ballot must be obtained by unfailing perseverance. Mr. MARSDEN, one of the treasurers of the society, stated that their expenditure for the years 1858-59 and 1860, amounted to £1,469, for print ing, rent, and all other expenses incidental to the society. He bore his testimony to the valuable services of Mr. Bontems, their hon: secretary, and to Mr. Whitehurst, the vice-chairman, who was the life and soul of the society. Mr. BROWN, of Plymouth, spoke in support of the resolution. Mr. HANDEL CROSSHAM, of Bristol, also sup ported the resolution, which was agreed to. Mr. BONWICK, of Melbourne, Victoria, inspector of schools, bore his testimony to the value of the ballot in that colony. Lord TEYNIIAM proposed the next resolution as follows :—‘, That this meeting desires to record its sense of the valuable services rendered to the cause of free and protected voting by the people and Par liaments of the Australian colonies, and by her Majesty the Queen and her responsible advisers, in making the ballot a British institution, and in demonstrating the practicability, simplicity, and efficiency of secret voting." The difficulties to be overcome under the influences of their evil nature by the present system of open voting, he said, were only to be overcome by means of the ballot. Mr. WASHINGTON WILKES seconded the resolu tion, which was agreed to. Mr. JOHN DALE, in highly complimentary terms, proposed the cordial thanks of the meeting to the hon. gentleman who had so ably filled the chair. The CHAIRMAN returned his best thanks. The meeting then separated. THE WORCESTERSHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.-- On Tuesday, the sth inst., the Halesowenorcaud Stourbridge Rifle (9th) Companies of the Ist Battalion W o rcestershire and 'es of skirmishers, were Volunteers assembled on the Monument -hill :outvilreags of sham fight, as between two compa n ies , provided with blank ammunition, u n der Capt.

The Stourbrid e g r e der and forced their way through corps,on t un he d w e r e stsi Capt.cle The skirmishing from tree to tree and bush to bush with exceedingly well performed,and was the firing was till obliged to retire befo re the hot fire of their o pp onents. inte resting to the spectators and instructive to the riflemen. ng from the wood, the Halesowen continued to re tire,the Stourbridge out also into the open, w h en the former, supported by supposed cavalry, l a id d own an d allowed them to charge their adversarie s , w h o im mediately formed square to resist, and afterwards e xtended again. Some manoeuvrin g f o ll owed of chang- Emergi ing position, the Halesowen by superior numbers endeavouring to outflank the Stourbridge ; being unable to accomplish their purpose and the Stourbridge having closed to prevent it, the Halesowen also closed, fixed bayonets, and charged furiously down the hill, the enemy getting cleverly away in double time and extending as they went, they were then driven back into the wood and a hot fire was maintained on both sides. At this period the Halesowen afnmunition failed, and the Stourbridge seizing the opportunity delivered a tremendous fire, dashed out of the wood and charged their opponents, another change of position took place, and the Halesowen in their turn }`si ng charged by supposed cavalry, formed rallying square ; both companies then reformed and marched into line on top of the hill and gave a general salute, the_Halsowen band playing " God save the Queen." The proceedings then terminated, and the officers were entertained by the Adjutant, Captain Wolridge, who had conducted all the movements of the day. Some remarks were made on the absence of the field-officers, neither of whom has taken the slightest notice of any co r p s o f th e battalion sin ce th e or review at Worcester in October last, tho4gh the junior they are, has been present in the county all the_ Oe s i____.,,. consequently, " non. effectives " for the lee. l io ul y "'Ll,r ezy g and the battalion generally, would be glad if ' replaced by " effectives." REPRESENTATION OF BODMIN. Considerable excitement was created at Bodmin on Tuesday by the announcement that one of the members for the borough, the Hon. Edward Frederick Leveson Gower, had resigned his seat and accepted an invitation to be nominated for Sutherlandshire, which constituency is now vacant by the succession of his relative, the Marquis of Stafford, to the dukedom of Sutherland. During the course of the afternoon Mr. Edward W. Cox, of the Western Circuit, and recorder of Falmouth, Penryn, and Helston, telegraphed to Bodmin that he would be a candidate for the vacant seat. Mr. Cox unsuccessfully contested Tewkes bury as a moderate Conservative of 1857, but he obtained only 25 votes on that occasion. He has also, we believe, offered himself to the electors of Taunton, in which town he has been a resident. It was rumoured in Bodmin on Tuesday night that Mr. John Tremayne, of Heligan, who appeared as a candidate at the last general election, but retired without going to poll, would come forward. The fact that Mr. Tremayne—whose father was for many years representative in the Conservative interest for the Eastern Division of Cornwall, has recently allied himself to the family of Lord Vivian, wh o i s a Whig, will, it is thought, give him a fair chance of being returned. The electors favourable to the return of this gentleman believe that there is little doubt of his complying with a memorial that may be presented to him to contest the seat, inasmuch as at the last election he declared that he would try his fortune on another occasion. The Hon. Captain Vivian, who unsuccessfully contested Truro at the last general election, and who also put out an address to the electors of Bodmin, is likewise spoken of as a candidate. There is certain to be no lack of applicants for the vacant place, Bodmin being one of those boroughs of convenient size which are always looked upon with favour by the aspirant to Parliamentary honours. In addition to the candidates who will be likely to appear as connected with the neigh bouring estates, there is a probability that the promoters of the ballot will send a champion to fight their battle in what has always been a favou rite constituency of theirs. Mr. Wyld, the sitting member, is a well known supporter of their views; and at a former election Mr. Whitehurst put forth an address to the electors in behalf of the same cause. At the election for 1859 the poll showed 215 votes for the Hon. E. F. Leveson Gower, 193 votes for Dr. Wm. Michell, and 167 for Mr. James Wyld. Subsequently, a petition having been preferred against Dr. Michell for undue influence, that gen tleman accepted the Chiltern Hundredsin the fol lowing August, and Mr. Wyld was then elected without a division. The population of Bodmin is 6,337, and the registered electors 398, including six freemen.— Western Morning News. The Hon. E. L. Gower, in a letter to a contem porary, denies having any intention of resigning his seat. THE LATE SIR WILLIAM NAPIER.—Mr. George E. Adams, sculptor, has received an order from the com mittee to execute a colossal marble statue of the late General Sir W. Napier, K.C.8., to be placed in St. Paul's Cathe dral, as a pendant to the one he erected in that place to his brother, the late General Sir J. Napier. ANOTHER REFUSAL OF AN OATM—At the West Kent quarter sessions just held, a man named John Bigg attended to prosecute a girl for stealing a shawl. Previous to being sworn Mr. Ribton, counsel for the pri • soner, inquired of the prosecutor whether he believed in the existence of a God. The prosecutor replied that he believed in the existence of some unknown power or being that governs the universc.• Mr. Ribton then inquired if he (prosecutor) believed in future rewards and punishments, the answer elicited being that he could not conscientiously believe in the existence of an avenging being, and there fore lid not believe in a future state of punishment. Upon this Mr. Ribton submitted the prosecutor's evidence could not be received, and the court concurring, the accused was ordered to be disobarged. ;OYS. i sold ;nerd 1 for- Oats D. me of a ,the of a ar'e, Old late fou- Mr.
