ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA; 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 Hypochmndriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This Is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."- 7 London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Cireular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian eorn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed ler a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing na. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 168. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

He also endeavoured to show that, supposing the jury should come tb the con clusion that this was not the case, and that the death of the child was to be attributed to the act of the prisoner, that she was in such a state of mind at the time as not to be responsible for the actsho had committed, and that consequently the jury ought the to acquit her on ground of insanity. The learned Judge having summed un, the jury retired to . deliberate upon their verdict. 'They were absent more than two hours, and upon their return into court the foreman gave a verdict of guilty. His lordship then put on, the black cap and passed' sentence of death in the usual form upon the wretched prisoner, and she was taki-n front the bar. TESTIMaN La, 'lO TUE RIGHT HON. T.

D. o. uNgIN. a, Lucas, & c The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, remarked that all present would agree that Mr. psC Milner Gibson had conducted the cause in parlia ment with consummate ability, and for that reason, as well es on account of the services he bad ren dered as president otthe Association for the Repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge, it was thought desir able to give the public an opportunity of presenting him with some testimonial in appreciation of his merits. (Hear, hear.) Many members of parlia ment as well as other gentlemen had given in their adhesion to the object of the meeting, and it had been thought better to limit the amount of their contributions in order to extend the area of sub scriptions. On the motion of Sir J. V. SHELLEY, M.P., seconded by Sir C. DOUGLAS, M.P., the gentlemen present resolved themselves into a testimonial com mittee, with power to add to their number, and to appoint an executive committee having power to appoint local committees. Mr. COBDEN, M.P., who was cheered upon en tering the room, said it gave him much pleasure in being able to be present, in order to show his appreciation of the talent and exertions of Mr. Gibson; and to offer his co-operation in some sub stantial mode with a view of tendering him his meed of thanks for his labours. Those who had the opportunity of watching Mr. Gibson, must have seen that he had brought an amount of energy, skill, and address to bear on the question rarely equalled by any public man. (Hear, hear.) They were not a class of questions that could be carried by assault, because they were not subjects that gained so much attention out of doors as to enable them being taken by storm. They required sapping ,'and mining, and Mr. Gibson had shown great talent in that process. Tbey all recognised Lis merits, and were now anxious to show their high appreciation of them. As to what form the testimonial should take that would be for a future meeting to decide. It rested entirely with Mr. Gibson as to what should be done with the money after it was collected. Mr. Cobden believed there was a general feeling throughout the country that some recognition should be made of Mr. Gibson's services ; but their efforts would have no success whatever unless a working power was applied ; and he saw around him gentlemen of just the kind to make it a success if they devoted themselves to the subject. Mr. WHITE, M.P., proposed, and Mr. ASHIIRST seconded, a resolution to the effect that the sub scriptions should not exceed 1/., which was agreed. to, LOUIS NAPOLEON SKETCHED .BY CAV OUR. (From the Qt!tterly Review.) Of the character and policy ofiouis Napoleon he we accustomed to speak with much freedom. No one hat better opportunities than Cavour of sounding their depths. He was the only living man who had ventured to grapple with him face to face, and who had used him for his pur pose. The estimate he had formed of his capacity was not a high on, but he fully admitted his fertility of resource, his physical and moral courage, and his knowledge of the people he governs. "He has no definite policy," he re marked to an English friend. "He has a number of poli tical ideas floating in his mind, none of them ma tured. They would seem to be convictions founded upon instinct. He will not steadily pursue any single idea if a serious obstacle presents itself, but will give way, and take up another, This is the mot de l'enigme' to his policy. It is by steadily keeping this in view that I have succeeded in thwarting his designs, or in inducing him to adopt a measure. The only principle—if principle it can be called—which connects together these various ideas, is the establishment of his dynasty and the conviction that the best way to secure it is by feeding the national vanity of the French people. He found France, after the fall of the Orleanist and Republican Govern ments, holding bnt a second place amongst the great Powers; ho has raised her to the very fist. Look at his wars, look at his foreign policy ; he has never gone one step beyond what was absolutely necessary to attain this one object. The principle ostentatiously put forward in the first instance has been forgotten or discarded as soon as his im mediate end has been accomplished. It was so in the war with Russia; it has been so in the war with Austria. In the Crimea he was satisfied with the success of his army in the capture of Sebastopol, which took from the English troops the glory they had earned by their devotion and courage, and to which they would have added had the war continued. In the struggle ph Austria ho was astounded by the greatness of the vi c t o es of Magenta and Solferino. The military glory of France had been satiated, and he unites thought nation a n t o i on which mo re of thheewlaibsetrotyhoafvI taly, e c d o f in that rex fr i e s e te and ace from the Alps to the Adriatic. fiensh , d , I we t ohn i i s sci t hd h e i rs rendersa u t n on c e s r , tw a ihni necessary l m i a y k , et guidedah that my b o suo y s oyds d a nger ous t everi e a t n sel fish ey you, ou to Entghlane contrary, n o t r r a t r h y a , t h h e He is e n has much affection for you r country. a man of ge nerous u s r an g y ua d r e d ini N te o d t es thatign ag ains t h e is h ostile her. On impulses, and has strong feelings of gratitude to wards those who have served and befriended him. At the bottom of his heart he is greatly attached to Italy. His earliest recollections are bound up with her. He is to this day a ' carbonaro' in his desire for Italian freedom and hatred of Austria. He has not forgotten the kindness and hospitality shown to him when an exile in England. He admires your institutions and the character of the English people. But all this is as nothing when compared with the maintenance of his dynasty, the establishment of which he looks upon almost in the light of a religious obligation. if the moment came when he thought a sacrifice necessary' to sustain it, however great that sacrifice might be, how ever painful or repugnant to his feelings, he would make it. eflcefeldlt .

The greatest disorder prevailed even in the forts, which were without the necessary guns and ammunition, and in some of which the troops had been gained over. At the same 'time the inhabitants of the city were ready to. rise.

EVENING, JULY 20, 1861. THE SERIOUS CHARGE A9AINST BARON DR VIDIL. BOW-STREET—(YESTERDAY). In accordance with the remand the accused, Alfred Louis Pons de Vidil, was again placed at the bar yesterday after noon at three o'clock. Mr. Pollock appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge, instructed by Mr. Wontner, defended the accused. It will be remembered that in the former examination the son of the prisoner refused to be sworn, and the] efore was committed by the magistrate for contempt, but which committal was afterwards withdrawn, as it was said it would be prejudicial to his health to undergo any imprisonment, and, that being the case, the magistrate gave the young man over to the care of his uncle, Mr. Parker, a Middlesex magistrate, with the understanding that he should be in attendance this afternoon, Mr. Corrie at the same time ad vising him to reconsider his determination not to give evi dence against the accused. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Pollock said—l have to inform you, sir, that the effect of the adjournment has been ineffec tual in altering the determination of the - young man in refusing to give evidence:'against the prisoner at the bar, and that he has been guided to that conclusion solely by his own determination. That being the case, Mr. Ellis and myself, having been instructed through his instru mentality, and M. de Vidil having withdrawn from the prosecution, I am no longer in a position to carry on the prosecution. Of course it is not for me to say what course ought to be adopted ; that, sir, as a magistrate, of course certainly rests with you. -The young man is in attendance to-day, but, as I said before, he refuses to give the slightest evidence. Mr. Corrie—Are there any other,witnesses ? Mr. Pollock—Mr. Ellis and myself cease to be instructed to prosecute. Inspector Thornton, of the detective police—l am directed by Sir Richard Mayne to ask your worship to proceed with this case as an ordinary investigation. Mr. Sleigh—Perhaps your worship will allow me to say a word or two before your time is taken up with this pain ful matter. Having heard what my learned friend (Mr. Pollock) has said in reference to this unhappy transaction, I have a suggestion to make, which I trust will meet from you, sir, as a magistrate, or my learned friend who appears for the young man, no opposition. The suggestion is, that the defendant shall be called upon to enter into sureties of no inconsiderable amount to keep the peace towards his son. (Loud hisses from the people who filled the body of the court.) Mr. Corrie—lf I hear any further demonstrations of that description I will give an order for the immediate clearing of the court. Mr. Sleigh—l am exceedingly sorry any manifestations of the nature that has just taken place should have occur red. The case is one of an exceedingly painful nature as regards the position of both father and son. As I said on a former occasion, this is a most exceptional case, and I do sincerely hope that my proposition will meet with no op position from my learned friend. Mr. Corrie—Mr. Pollock is not now in the case. Mr. Sleigh—As the proposition appears to give satisfac tion to all parties, I do hope, sir, that you, as a magistrate, will find it consistent with the ends of justice to assent to the proposal. Mr. Pollock—As far as Mr, Parker is concerned, Mr. Ellis and myself withdrew from the prosecution, and I at the same time may say that there is no desire to act against the prisoner. The only desire of the gentlemen who have taken part in these proceedings has been the honour and personal safety of the young man. Mr. Corrie—l wish to see the young man. M. de Vidil here entered the witness-box. Mr. Corrie—Since you were here you have had an oppor tunity of reflecting and consulting with your friends, and I have now to ask you whether you still persist in refusal to give evidence against the prisoner ? M. de Vidil—Yes. Mr. Corrie--Very well. This inquiry is of the utmost importance. I received certain information from the young man, and that was confirmed by depositions forwarded to me from other magistrates, and if the inquiry had proceeded I have no doubt my duty would have been to send the prisoner for trial, but the great difficulty is that the prin cipal witness expresses his determination not to give evi dence. If this circumstance should tend to stop the case, it will form a precedent, and will no doubt find imitators, perhaps less pure than in the present instance. It has been intimated to me that the police authorities intend to carry on the prosecution, but it is a matter of much regret that there is yet no public prosecutor appointed in this country. If ever there was a case in which the executive ought to ap'. pear it is one like the present, and I don't think I ought to act as magistrate, prosecutor, and attorney in it. I shall therefore remand the prisoner until Monday next, in order to afford me an opportunity of consulting with the Secre tary of State as to whether he intends to take up the prose cution. I have some hesitation how to deal with the young man, but if I can be sure of his attendance again on Mon day, I should not object to his remaining with his friends until that day. If I let you accompany your friends, will you appear here again on Monday ? M. de Vidil—l cannot guarantee that I shall speak the truth. Mr. Corrie—l asked you if you would appear. M. de Vidil—l will appear. The prisoner was then formally remanded until Monday at three o'clock. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, then bound M. de Vidil over in the sum of £l,OOO to appear on Monday. M. de Vidil—Not conditional that I give evidence. Mr. Burnaby—That you appear . in court. M. de Vidil—Very well. I will be here. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. The crowd, both inside and outside the police court, wa s tremendous. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STAMFORD MEETING-FRIDAY.

When the flag was lowered the heavy weight (Cosmopolite) at once rushed to the front and led for about a quarter of a mile, leaving Su burban, Sporting Life, Sawcutter, Knight of St. Patrick, and Sir Hugh in close attendance upon him. Soon after rising the hill both Cosmopolite and Sporting Life were beaten and fell back. Suburban and Knight of St. Patrick then came on with the lead; with Weatherbound in the fourth place. When opposite the distance post Suburban was unmistakably swerved against by the Knight of St. Patrick, and thus deprived of coming through and win ning. When the half distance was reached the Knight of St. Patrick, Suburban, and Sawcutter appeared all abreast, and a fine race was seen, Lord Exeter's winning on the post by a short head ; a length and a half between the se cond and third ; Weatherbound was a good fourth, only beaten from the second by a length. On returning to scale an objection was lodged by Count Batthyany against the Knight of St. Patrick for foul riding and crossing Suburban twice in the race. The matter was immediately investi gated by the stewards, assisted by Mr. Lowther, and they, after hearing the evidence of the jockeys who rode in the race, unanimously decided that the race must be awarded to Suburban, who, they stated, would have won the race had not the Knight of St. Patrick prevented him. The stakes and bets thus go to Count Batthyany's horse.

After about half a mile had been run Bivouac fell back, when both Opti mist and Dulcibella passed Lord Zetland's colt and came on with the command, Dulcibella evidently forcing the pace. At the distance the Cesarewitch winner was beaten, and Bivouac got close up to Optimist's quarters, but could never reach the American, who won easily by a length. Dulcibella was a bad third. Pastime was beaten off, and did not pass the post. _ A Selling Raoe of 5 says each, with 40 added ; optional selling weights. Three quarters of a mile.

The ridicule of this measure of unjustifiable rigour, which has been completely disavowed by the military authorities, has fallen on the Lieut. de Toggenburg." [ADVERTISEMENT.) —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Mr. William Hill, of Exeter, had for upwards of three years an ulcerated leg. He had been in Guy's Hospital, King's College,.and the Devon and Exeter Hospital. Each pronounced it incurable, and he was told that the only obtain in g of obtaing relief would be amputation of the limb. In spite of this medical decision, Mr. Hill did not despair ; hehad seen Professor Holloway's Advertisement, and at last came to the determination to give his ointment and pills a fair trial. The result was that they did him more good in three days than all other medicines had done in three years; and, consequently, the wounds on his leg were completely owed, PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd.

LA TV IA TELLIGENCE.-July 19. DIVORCE COURT. TUCKER DE ST. HILAIRE V. TUCKER DE ST. HILAIRE. This was a petition bye wife on the ground of adultery coupled with bigamy and desertion. The respondent did not appear. •-Mr. Patchett, for the petitioner, stated that the marriage took place at Chelsea on Oct. 30, 1842, and the cohabitation continued for four years. The respondent was married in the name of Charles Tucker de St. Hilaire, and he passed him 'Self" off as an Italian. His original name was Tucker, and he was supposed to be an Irish man. He had also at different times taken the names of the Marquis de St. Hilaire, of Alessandro Borromeo, of Alessandro Count of Borromeo, and of Dr. Charles Tucker. In 1847 he abandoned the petitioner and went to Sheffield. He there repre sented himself as a political exile, the son of the Duo do Borromeo, made political speeches, raised himself to a position of some importance, and on one occasion offered himself as a candidate for a seat in the town-council. He took advantage of his popu larity to get into debt to a large amount, and also to persuade a young lady named Froggatt to elope with him. He was married to her at Gretna Green in November, 1847, and lived with her until 1851. In that year he deserted her, and went to Belfast, where, as Dr. Tucker, he delivered lectures on mes merism. He also proposed to found a mesmeric hospital, collected subscriptions for that purpose, and decamped with them. He next became lecturer to an itinerant panorama of Switzerland. He then made the acquaintance of Miss Murray, a respecta ble lady, who had £2OO or £3OO belonging to her. He represented himself to her as a physician be longing to St. George's Hospital, although his only connection with that establishment was that he had once been an out-patient, owing to a wound in his leg which he had received in a duel on the Conti nent. When he had exhausted Miss Murray's purse, he abandoned her, and then gained a living by going to hotels and running up bills and leaving carpet-bags filled with bricks in payment. He next visited BE• kenny, and represented that he was a " Count of the Holy Roman Empire in the Pontifical degree," and that he had heen persecuted in consequence of his conversion from the Roman Catholic to the Protestant religion. The Protestant clergy men of the place, who became interested in him on this account, introduced him as French teacher to a respectable academy. He then became a suitor to another young lady, and proposed marriage to her, but told her he could not marry her in the regular manner, on account of his rank in the Holy Roman empire. Some sort of marriage ceremony was, however, gone through, and they lived together for some time. He then abandoned her and came to London, after having extracted a considerable sum from 'her family. In London he took up with another girl, and gained a living by concocting re ports of secret conferences supposed to be held by Italian noblemen and friends to the Italian cause and selling'them to some of the newspapers. When the fraud was discovered he was arrested on the charge of obtaining money under false pretences. At the time of his arrest he was lecturing at the Reading Theatre, on electro-biology. On the 16th of August, 1858, he was convicted of bigamy, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. The marriage having been proved by some of the respondent's relatives, and the bigamous marriage and the conviction by Miss Froggatt, His lordship granted a decree nisi with costs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—CHELMSFORD, JULY 19. (Before Mr. Justice Williams.) MURDER.—Martha Spencer Weaver, 42, was charged with the wilful murder of John Gibson, a child two years and a half old, by strangling him with a shawl. Mr. Shaw conducted the prosecution. The pris sonar had no counsel, but, at the request of the Court, Mr. Peirce kindly undertook to watch the case on her behalf. It appeared by the evidence that the prisoner is a married woman, but separated from her husband, who made her an allowance of 7s, 6d. per week, and she had been for a few months previous to the death of the child residing at the village of Dan bury, near Chelmsford, of which place she is a native. On the morning of April 15 the prisoner and the mother of the child had been out in the morning picking up wood, and they returned home to Danbury, where they occupied two cottages close to each other, about 12 o'clock. Shortly after this the prisoner went to the child's mother and asked hor to give her a hicifer match, and she told her to let the deceased go and fetch a box for her from a shop in the village. The prisoner, it appeared, had always seemed to be very fond of the child, and frequently sent him on errands, and the mother readily consented to the request of the prisoner, who gave the child some money, and he went away. In the course of a short time his mother saw him going towards the prisoner's cottage, and he called out to her, "I have got the lucifers, good bye mother ;" and she told him to make haste home as his dinner was ready, and the poor little child was observed to go into the prisoner's house, and was never again seen alive. An hour or two having elapsed, the mother became alarmed, and went to the prisoner's cottage, an d found the door locked, and upon her knocking i a u ithe sptrpsoifineedr state,came down, apparently half asleep and n and in answer to,the inquiry of the he e ot w he a r s o w n where her boy was, the prisoner said that green playing. Tne mother asked on what green, and the prisoner said she did not know, and she then shut the door, and locked it, and was heard to walk upstairs to the bedroom. Not being able to obtain any tidings of the child, the mother went again to the prisoner's cottage, accompanied by a neighbour, named Neville, and found the door locked as before. Upon her knocking, the prisoner opened her bedroom window, and she was then ap parently in the same condition as before, namely, half asleep, and she rubbed her eyes, and seemed as though she had just woke up. The mother again inquired where her child was, and the priso ner replied, " I know nothing of your child, he is not here," and then shut the window. The mother then applied to the Rev. Mr. Thorp, the curate of the parish, and told him the circumstances, and that gentleman having procured the assistance of the parish constable, proceeded to the cottage of the prisoner which still remained in the same state. Having knocked, and receiving no answer, a man got in at the window and opened the door. They then proceeded upstairs, and upon going into the prisoner's bedroom, the first object that presented itself was the dead body of the child lying on its back in the middle of the room, with the end of a shawl tied so. tightly round its neck as to produce suffocation, and the prisoner herself was lying upon the bed apparently in a deep heavy sleep. It was with considerable difficulty that she wes awoke, and she then talked in a very incoherentg manner, and upon her being accused of had been the child, she made no reply. After she officer, taken into custody, the prisoner said to to do for " I don't mean to live long, bu T t h meanconstable then some of them before I die. t ' o ' fix b e er spite on the asked her how she came who the question, s f ti t on he , said, "Never mi nd child, and the priso ner, in answer to laudanum, eff m e , et and s he told her neighbours that appeared that the prisoner was world as in it." It in the constant practice eoaftakiit taking d lau t n quieting i h e r nerves ; several bottles that had con tained laudanum w ere found n her bedroom, and there was no doubt she had taken a considerable dose on the morning of the fatal occurrence. It also appeared that the prisoner and the child always seemed to be very much attached to each other, and there did not appear to be the slightest motive for the commission of the dreadful deed by the prisoner, and according to the testimony of all the witnesses she was at the time of the occurrence in a half stlipified and unconscious state, and did not appear to know what she was about. The death of the child appeared to have been occasioned by the end of a large shawl being tied tightly round its neck, and the remainder of the shawl was tied round its body, and it then appeared to have been laid on its back in the position in which it was found by the witnesses. Mr. Peirce made an earnest appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and after observing upon the absence of any motive for the commission of such a barbarous crime, and to the fact that the prisoner THE ARMY. The following order, referring to the number of men who have recently been admitted into the army when unfit for military service, has just been issued from the Horse Guards by direction of the Duke of Cambridge : " His Royal Highness the General Commanding-in- Chief, having reason to believe that men unfit for the ser vice, from physical defects, have been passed into it, de sires inspecting officers of recruiting districts, and officets commanding regiments and depots, to call the attention of the medical officers under their orders to the 99th rage of the Hospital Regulations, and that of civil medical practi tioners to the instructions lately issued to them. if due attention were paid to these instructions, the numerous cases of men discharged after very shsrt service would be materially diminished.

RAILWA Y INTELLIGENCE. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. A meeting of shareholders and bondholders in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. T. raring, M.P., in the chair. Mr. J. M. Grant, the secretary, read the notice convening the meeting. The CHAIRMAN stated that they had two reports to consider, one from the select committee of share and bondholders, and the other from the directors of the company. It was proposed to consider the report of the committee, as it involved matters of importance to the company. The directors were anxious to know the opinions of those interested in respect to the suggestions of the committee. What ever might be the result of their decision on that report, they must all feel greatly obliged to the members of the committee for the great lab Our they had bestowed on the affairs of the company with a view to protect and benefit all the interests con cerned. The suggestions in the report would form a basis for farther legislation in respect of the Grand Trunk Company. The committee were en titled to their best thanks for what they had done, and their suggestions for the future management of the company were worthy of the consideration of the proprietors. The report of the committee and the report o the directors, abstracts of which have appeared in The Sun, were taken as read. Mr. CONYBEARE said they should not commit themselves to the adoption of the report, and con cluded by moving a resolution to the effect that the report of the committee be received, but not adopted. Mr. WEGUELIN moved as an amendment that the report of the select committee be adopted. They had acted as arbitrators for the company, and had proposed a fair and legitimate compromise to relieve the company from its difficulties. Their scheme for reorganising the company was sound and practi cable, and if the line were properly equipped for traffic he believed the receipts would be soon in creased by £4 or £5 per mile per week. There could be no doubt that the natural progress of the traffic in five years would enable them to meet all legal demands. Mr. N. CLARKE seconded the amendment. Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., the chairman of the com mittee, entreated the meeting to adopt the report of the committee. The company at present was in a state of bankruptcy, although they had a very valuable property if they could make it available. He had no doubt that if the suggestions of the com mittee were carried out, that in the course of a year or 18 months the gross receipt s wo u ld average £1,000,000 per annum, and by the improvements in management that Mr. Watkin could introduce the working expenses would be reduced to 65 per cent. of the receipts, leaving £350,000 to meet the £358,000 preference charges proposed in the first instance by the committee. Mr. H. CHAPMAN believed if they could make the necessary sweeping reforms in the manage ment, that the gross traffic would in the course of 12 months amount to £1,000,000 a year, and the working expenses be reduced to 60 per cent. Mr. NE WMARCH, a member of the committee, con tended that the question was one of p r eservation, and time was everything to them. Substantial jus tice had been done to all parties in the report, and it was of the utmost consequence it should bo adop• ted. A consolidation Act would be prepared immediately, by which the company would be con verted from a Canadian to an English company, the constituency would be enlarged, and the bond holders would have votes and be otherwise repre sented in the management. The motion of Mr. Conybeare was rejected, and th e amendment adopting the report of the commit tee was carried.
