At a Meeting held at the Royal United Service Institu tion ou the Bth May, 1860, His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., G.C.8., in the chair, It was proposed by his Grace the Duke of Richmond, K.G., and seconded by the Earl of Ellenborough, G.C.8., That the late General Sir William Napier, as a soldier and a military historian, merited the admiration and grati tude of his country. Proposed by General Sir John Burgoyne, Bart., G.C.8., and seconded by General Sir Thomas Brotherton, K.C.8., That he immortalised the glorious deeds of our Army in Spain, Portugal, and France, by his history of the war in those countries—a history that no true soldier can read without instruction and advantage, and without being in spired by the heroic sentiments and spirit-stirring language the author.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. PUBLICATIONS. (Front the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The Afoniteur continues the publication of docu ments connected with the late proceedings in China. In a report from the Commander of the French Corps of Operations in that country to the Marshal Minister of War occurs the following account of the plundering of the Summer Palace:— "After a rather difficult march we reached the village of Yuen-ming•yuen at 7 o'clock ; we followed a road paved with granite flags, and we passed over a handsome bridge leading to the Imperial Palace, the entrance of which faces the bridge, and is dis tant only 200 metres ; the road between the bridge and the palace is bordered on the left by a row of stately trees; on the right is a large square con taining a row of fine houses, the residences of the principal mandarins. " Before bivouacking I determined to examine the entrance of the palace, which was closed by a very strong gate and by barriers on the right and left. It was said that there were Tartars in the courts and gardens inside the gates. I immediately sent two companies of marine infantry to examine the entrance of the Palace and the wood behind, as well as orderly officer Lieut. de Pina, of the navy. This officer, hearing a noise inside, summoned them to open the gates, and receiving no answer, he had a laddqr brought and scaled the wall, followed by EniiguArirrenan. — On - reaching - the top they saw Tartars armed with spikes, bows and arrows, and muskets, who appeared ready to defend the gate. On perceiving our officers these men retired, and Lieut. de Pina got over the wall to open the gate to our troops. " At that moment the Tartars returned to attack M. Pina, and a conflict took place between him and the men who were hastening up. He bravely resisted, and fired some shots with a revolver, but was wounded in the left hand and the right wrist. The Marines went to his assist ance and to that of their officer, M. Vivenon, who had received a ball in the side, and the Tartars, after a useless resistance, took to flight in disorder, leaving behind them three men killed, and carrying off several wounded. THE MOST ATTRACTIVE GIFT BOOK OF THE SEASON. The late severe weather has not failed to pro duce its usual effect in an augmented rate of mor tality, though the increase shown as yet by the returns is not of formidable amount. The deaths in London, which were 1,208 and 1,269 respectively in the two previous weeks, rose in the last week of the year to 1,407. The average number of deaths as obtained from returns of the fifty-second week in each of the last ten years 1850-59, and corrected for increase of population, is 1525. The death of last week were therefore more than 100 below the estimated amount. In December of 1859 there were two cold weeks, the second and third ; in the fourth week, when the mean temperature of the air was as high as 45.3 deg., the deaths rose to 1677. In the December of 1860 the last two weeks have been distinguished by the coldness of the weather, which has now re laxed, but may still b e f o ll owe d, as i n 1859, by an increased number of death s . I n December, 1859, the lowest point attained by the thermometer at was period 1 that has on ntohwe elapsedl9 19th ; t washe lowest w esdeg.t on Christmas day ; the next lowest was 10 deg. on Saturday, the 29th; p G o r i e n e t n The deaths from pulmonary. diseases, exclusive i w n ie t h he of phthisis, were in the previous week 270; last week they were 348. For the ten weeks (oflBso-59) corresponding with last week, the average number after correction for increase of population is 325. In the last two weeks the deaths by bronchitis rose - froni 146 to ,217 . ; those by Pneumonik from 89 to 95; those by phthisis from 136 to 171. Scarlatina was fatal last week in 45 cases, 4 of which occurred in the west sub-district of Islington. Measles was fatal in 49 cases, of which 4 occevred in the south sub-district of St. Giles, 3 in the Goswell-street sub-district. There were 7 deaths from syphilis, 4 from intemperance. 13 persons, of 12 were children, died by burns and scalds ; of these, two children, one the son of a lamplighter, the other that of a railway labourer, were burnt by their clothes taking fire. The son of a shoemaker, aged 3 years, was scalded fatally by drinking water from a kettle. A Chelsea pen sioner, aged 70 years, was suffocated by the im paction of meat in the trachea. Seven nonagena rians died in the week, of whom 5 were women. Last week the births of 754 boys and 754 girls, in all 1488 children, were registered in London. Ii the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-59 the average number was 1,655. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.540 in. The readings rose from 29.18 in. on Tuesday to 30.23 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 25.9 deg., which is'll deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher. The mean daily temperature was below the average throughout the week, and on four days it was from 11 deg. to 16 deg. below the average. The highest point attained in the week by a thermometer in the shade was 35 deg. on Wednesday and Friday. The lowest points were 8 deg. and 10 deg. on Tuesday and Saturday respectively. The range of temperature in the week was therefore 27 deg. The mean daily range was 12.9 deg. A thermometer on the grass fell to 2 deg. on Tuesday. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 6 . 9 deg. The mean degree of humidity was 74,:complete saturation being represented by 100. On Saturday the humidity was only 61. Melted snow in the week measured 0.28 in. The minimum temperature, 8 deg., took place at 7 h. on the morn ing of Christmas. After twelve o'clock p.m. on Saturday a rapid thaw set in. Price, in Cloth. 2ls. in Morocco in Morocco, bound by Hayday. £2 2s. ELIZA COOK'S POEMS, SeleCted and edited by the Author.

He ig might d that at i the fact in their THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S " GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES." The cause is there predicated of the.monetary difficulties ex perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive, intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully examined in J. Grossmitif s "Government upon First Prin ciples." " The noise of the firing having attracted me to the spot, 1 made General Collineau come up with a brigade, and occupy strongly the first courtyard of the Palace, not wishing to advance further during the night in an unknown place. About 700 or 800 Tartars, who were behind a series of palaces which extended to the woods, might have attempted to disquiet our men. But the night passed without events, and the next day very early in the morning I went to the Palace, accompanied by Generals Jamin and Collineau, by the chief of my staff, and the English Brigadier Pattle, with whom were Major Sley, of the Queen's Dragoons, and Colonel Fowley. A company of infantry preceded us, to assure our march, but the Palaces were completely evacuated by the Tartars. " I was anxious that our allies should be present at this first visit to the Palace, which I suspected must contain groat riches. After passing through several apartments of indescribable splendour, I had sentinels placed everywhere, and I directed two artillery officers to see that no one entered the Palace, and that everything should remain as it was until the arrival of General Grant, who was sent for immediately by Brigadier Pattle. " The English officers having arrived, we con sulted what we had better do with all these riches, and we appointed three commissioners of each na tion, with instructions to set apart the objects of greatest value as curiosities, so that an equal divi sion might be made ; it would have been impossi ble to think of carrying away the whole of the property, our means of transport being very limited. " Soon after a further search led to the discovery of a sum of about 800,000 f. in small ingots of gold and silver. The same commission also proceeded to make an equal division between the two armies. which gave about 80f, to each of our soldiers. The division among the men was made by a commission which was composed of all the chiefs of the corps, and of the different branches of the service, and was presided over by General Jamin. The com mission, having deliberated in the name of the army, declared that the latter desired as a souvenir to make a present to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince Imperial of the whole of the curious articles carried off from the Palace.

' "Lord Elgin selected a baton of command of the Emperor of China, in green jade, of great value, and mounted with gold. A second baton, similar in every respect, having been found, Lord Elgin in his turn resolved that it should be reserved for the Emperor of the French. There was, therefore, perfect equality in this first choice. " It would be impossible for me to describe to you, Monsieur le Marechal, the magnificence of the nu merous buildings which succeed each other over an extent of four leagues, and which composes what is called the Summer Palace of the Emperor, being a succession of pagodas, all containing gods in gold, silver, and ;,bronze, of gigantic dimensions. One deity in bronze—a Bouddha—is about 70 feet high gardens, lakes, and objects of curiosity heaped up for centuries past in the midst of buildings of white marble, roofed with dazzling varnished tiles of all ' colours, add to that the view over a delightful country, and your Excellency will have but a very feeble idea of what we have seen.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF:EGLIN.. TON.—It is with deep regret that we announce the sudden death of the Countess of Eglinton. The Earl and Counteas of Essex received a telegram on Monday from Scotland,in forming them of the sudden death of the Countess, their daughter, who died at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, at Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire. The lamented Countess, so untimely cut off, was to all appearance in the best health on Sunday, and, with her noble husband, was about to receive a large circle of distinguished visitors at the castle. Tier late ladyship, Adela Caroline Harriet, was the only daugh ter of the Earl and Countess of Essex, and was born time 4th March, 1828. She was married in Dublin in 1863 to the Earl of Eglinton, then Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, being his lordship's second wife. We believe she leaves Issue an only child. W.

LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from Tmprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest bopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischiefmay arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, which happily is row fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the me dical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace aro do embitterment by permanent content. Dr. Lallert. M.D., Honorary Member of the London Hos pital Medical Society, &c., is the only legally qualified regis tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention to the treatment of these disorders.

AN AUDACIOUS SOLDIER.—On Monday, at the Colchester Police-court, John M'Selly, a discharged soldier, was charged with conspiring to defraud Adolphus Powell and others of considerable sums of money. The prisoner, it appeared, lately announced that by the termination of a Chancery suit he had become possessed of a large fortune, and on the strength of his statement, which is quite untrue, he has been duping several unfortunate tradespeople, &c. Mr. Powell advanced him money at different times to the amount of £4OO, and the prisoner, wh,e gave a promissory note for the amount, agreed to settle £l5O a year upon Mr. Powell, with the understanding that lo gave up his busi ness and accompanied him on his travels. He purchased gold rings and watches of tradesmen, and then absconded to Ireland, where his fortune, which in England had been returned at the comparatively moderabe sum of £B,OOO, rose to £46,000. The place first visited by M'Selly was Bally bay, county Monaghan, where orders were given unspar ingly to the local tradespeople, and the Catholic priest was promised a donation of £5OO for his chapel, &c. The same game was next played out at Dundalk, but an application to a gentleman for a loan of £5 rather dimmed his reputa tion, and ho found it advisable to pass on tolDrogheda, and from thence to Dublin. Finally he turned up penniless at Colchester, where he first succeeded in palming off his audacious ruso. The particular charge gone into ou,Mon day was one of defrauding Mr. Powell in regard to a pawnbroker's duplicate for a watch and chain, and after hearing evidence the magistrates remanded the [ADVERTISEMENT.I — HoIIoway ' s Od nun e.nt.-- 11" I derful Ointment acts like magic in the dispersion_ e 0 f T r 'e a u eo ulcers, sores, sores and eruptions of the skin.

CHINESE EDICT: The following are some additional documents pub lished by the Moniteur relative to the incidents which preceded and led to the signature of the treaty of peace of Pekin : IMPERIAL EDICT. Published on the 30th Sept. I have always treated the different foreign na tions with the same kindness; I have accorded to them liberty of commerce without restriction. In consequence the French and English remained for a long time in friendly relations with China, and during many years there was not between us the shadow of a misunderstanding ; but all at once, in 'the seventh year of our reign, they carried war into the provinces of Kwang-Tong, brutally occu pied our town, and capital of that province, and carried off our mandarins. Convinced that our Viceroy, Ye-Ming-Chin, was the cause of all these misfortunes by his want of ability in treating affairs, we did not hesitate to punish him, and when in the eighth year of our reign, the barbarians came to Tien-tsin to negotiate, we ordered the Viceroy Tan-ting-sang, to go to them to regulate the ques tions which required solution. 'the barbarians then, taking advantage of our not being prepared, attacked our forts and arrived without difficulty at Tien-tsin. Fearing disasters without number for our people we then ordered the First Minister Kouei-Liang, and others to go and negotiate with them, and to put an end to the war ; and, as in all the articles proposed by them there were matters reserved, we directed Kouei-Liang and the others to go to Shang hae to establish the future tariffs. In the ninth year of our reign the barbarians presented them selves anew before Takou, with vessels of war, and with the intention of destroying our forts ; and it was then that our generalissimo, Sing-ko-lin-sin, exasperated, subjected them to a complete defeat. It is therefore to themselves alone that they owe their misfortunes, and not to China having failed in her engagements. It is, moreover, what the whole world is aware of. This year again the bar barian chiefs—Elgin, Gros, and others—presented themselves at the mouth of the river, and, as we retain no rancour for the past, we permitted them to take the road of Petang, to come to the capital to exchange the ratifications of their treaties. We could not then believe that they came with detestable intentions, bringing with them cannon mounted on carriages and troops of horse and foot, with whom they attacked our forts of Takou in the rear, forced our armies to fly, and arrived for the second time at Tien-tsin. Considering then that Kouei-Liang was the man who, in preceding years, had conferred with them at Petang at Tien tsin, we ordered him to go and open fresh negotia tions with them. Thinking that those barbarians had some notions of justice and propriety, we hoped to see them make demands to which we could con sent ; but who believed that they would bring for ward the expenses of arbitrary pretensions, claim the reimbursement of the war, and the open ing of the new ports, and to bring their t roo p s to the very neighbourhood of the capital, all of them pretensions so exaggerated and detestable that we were obliged to order the Prince de I, Asai-Youen, and the Minister of War, Mou-Hig, to attempt to negotiate, and to definitively solve those questions. But the revolted barbarians, in order to satisfy their pride, came and threatened Tong-Tcheou with an army, and, moreover, expressing the desire to bring their troops to the capital and to see us there. If such a senseless pretension had been conceded, Tinhe:Pe:and fidelit how could we have shown ourself before our people ? We therefore gave the most severe orders to the different commanders of our troops, to bring cavalry and infantry from every direction, and to go and fight with fury. We also enjoined on all the districts near the capital to assemble the troops of the reserve to reinforce the other armies and to assist them in fighting, and to raise corps of volunteers for that purpose.

These barbarians come from far distant countries solely to trade, and that matters have come to the present pass can only be owing to the fact that they were invited by the bandits and rebels of the empire. To assure their destruction, we command our mandarins of the ports to take every measure cal culated to ruin their trade. As for the other nations, which show themselves respectful and obedient towards us, and whose relations continue pacific, it is understood that their transactions are not to be interfered with. However, if the barbarians should repent of their crime and acknowledge it, they must be allowed to enjoy, in the different ports, the Kent and Co., late Piper and Co., Paternoster-row.

" 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.
