By Dr. L&'Mmtr, 37, Bedford-square, London. • Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh ; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &c. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the variou • functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive systeip, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. The first of Newmarket's great autumnal meetings com menced yesterday under circumstances peculiarly bright, the weather being lovely and the card presenting 10 races, of which two were invested with great interest. The large acceptance for the Eastern Counties Handicap (with £lOO added by the railway company), and the exciting metals between Nutbush and Little Lady, proved very attractive, and more people were on the heath than had been seen there for many years on the opening day of a First October. 4 heavy special train on Monday evening was followed by another almost equally well laden on Tuesday morning; yet, despite the large attendance Of .both amateur and pro fessional, but few transactions took place in the betting market. The sport was excellent, and the representatives of the French stable maintained the good name they had earned at Doncaster. Cosmopolite gave 321 b. to the second, and showed the form he had before displayed in a race of three-quarters of a mile. Nutbush won her match from start to finish, and Brown Duchess cantered away from her two opponents with her 71b. penalty. The racing was not concluded until half an hour after, the advertised time, owing to the delays at the starting-post with a field of 22 horses, but, all things considered, no cause of complaint was given, and nothing unpleasant occurred to mar a delight ful day's racing.

Punctually to the time set down on the card, Mr. Man ning got through his preliminary task of neighing, when the 20 competitors having taken their canters towards the starter were taken in charge by Mr. M‘George, who on this occasion, as last year, was assisted in getting them in order by Admiral Rous. In consequence of the extreme eager ness of some of the light weights to get away in front the start was delayed some considerable time. At last a favourite opportunity presenting itself the flag was lowered exactly at 3 20, just 25 minutes after the time set on the card, to a scrambling and unsatisfactory start. On settling into their places, Restes on the rails on the lower side made play, followed by Flitch, Lava, Maggiore, Vaga, Fravola, Curlew, and Prophet, the others spread widely across the course, being headed by Gibraltar, Lord of the Manor, Can tatrice, Cosmopolity, Hesper, and Sir William, the last of all being Atherstono, East Sheen, and Man-at-Arms, the latter being in the act of .turning round when the flag was lowered, and was left at the post. On reaching the brow of the hill the pace mended, and Maggiore ran past the lead ing horses, and in company with Restes, Lava, Hesper, Curlew, and Acco, came on with the running ; the others, with the exception of those before mentioned, lying close up. On entering the cords, Cosmopolite, who, in the early part of the race, was outpaced, gradually drew towards the front, and half way up the hill became fourth, but was unable to get through his horses; but on the second attempt he got up, and Maggiore and Lava at the same moment dividing, left an opening of which Grimshaw immediately took ad vantage and drove Cosmopolite to the front, and after one of the finest and gamest struggles between four seen for some time was won in the last stride by Cosmopolite by a head. Maggiore and Lava finishing with a dead heat, Restes passing the post a length and a half in the rear of the two, Curlew, Rock Scorpion, Cantatrice, Acco, Vaga, and Pro phet were the next lot, the others were widely spread and pulling up as they past the post, Man-at-Arms being the last some distance in the rear.

An excellent start was effected at the first attempt, the lot getting away so closely together that it was difficult to distinguish which was leading, but on reaching the brow of the hill the favourite was seen with a slight lead, waited upon by Queen Elizabeth, Exchequer, Q.E.D.,and Xurullo, the others lying up. On entering the cords Queen Elizabeth was beaten and dropped back, leaving the three placed to finish a close race home, Imperatrice winning very cleverly by three lengths, Exchequer defeating Q.E.D. by a head for second ; Xurullo was a good fourth, and Queen Elizabeth fifth ; the others beaten off.

CESAUEWITCII. 11 .to 1 agst La Vapour 100 to 6 agst Donner and Blitz CIIIIU IDGES4IttL i 20 to I,agst Gabriello d'Estruer, 1-, THE EDUCATION Id.rNt r 171 K t i xo We have said that in o ur o pi n i o the Education Minute was a .well-ti me d an d u u l s t e p. We must now also, in all candour,. ad t it probably would have been impossibl e t o f r ii a document more certain to provoke th e mos t Iter and deter- mined opposition. Hitherto in th 4 matter of Edn. cation things have all gone one waT. Government has pressed its money on the public, esteeming it, apparently, a great triumph if thd public could be prevailed upon to-,accept it. The distribution of £BOO,OOO in a number of small 'payments has, of course, gathered around it an infinite number of hopes and fears, of calculations and expectations, among which any change, be it ever so much for the better, must make the most rude and unwel- come disturbance. We have no reason whatever, therefore, to feel surpriso,cl that the whose pm- niary interests are in any way maigenance of the existinz_•_mett Gaetriteaent funds the .work -oft reeeilavitleconet ree e - fee:ea.-a change which comes uLzvrc them with an aspeetlo repulsive. Thus there are the managers of schools, who have been accus tomed to receive, on the report of an Inspector which might be counted on with almost entire cer tainty, a Government subvention, the amount of which they could reckon to a farthi ng . Th e y had, besides, in the power of appointing p up il t eac hers, who would be maintained from the first moment of their appointment entirely at th© public expense, and would in a few years be placed in a position in which they could earn from eighty to a hundred pounds a year as teachers, a very aceeptable piece of patronage. Now all this is to be changed. Tae assistance of Government will depend on the attendance of the children in the school, and on the progress which, considering their age, they may be proved to have made in reading, • writing, and arithmetic. The managers still retain .the appointment of pupil teachers, but the salary of the pupil teachers they will be required, in the first place, to pay themselves, Government onli contributing two• thirds of the salary instead of the whole. No doubt, these 'things are lard to bear, and we u n g d ht , and accu s ed the cannot wonder that in :.heir first di sma y th e up the readiest m we a a n p a o g n ers th s a h t ou c l a d m h e av t e o , Education. No accusation, however, can b e more Minute of destroying the religious character of unfounded. The Committee of Council, as we have before explained, never undertook to provide religious Education, but only to assist those by whom it is provided, requiring in return for that assistance a certain amount of secular Education, which is, of course, necessary for religious teach ing. This secular Education has not been pro. vided for a great part of the scholars, and so a more stringent means is taken to ascertain that it is given. That is all. Ihere is no change whatever in the_ relation between the Committee and the different religious bodies, and no reason, if they do their duty, why their religious teaching should not be benefited instead of being prejudiced by the increased energy which is given to secular instruction. But, though the attention of school. managers is naturally fixed more on what they lose than on what they gain, the Minute appears to give them no inconsiderable compensation. In the first place, the main features of the system are preserved, which we are convinced they could not have been unless the public had received some guarantee that the money which they contribute would produce the effect they desire. They should compare the new Minute, not with the present untenable state of things, but with a system of local rating and management, or with the withdrawal of Government aid altogether. Then the managers are freed by the Minute from much troublesome interference, They may make their own terms with their masters and pupil teachers, and they may, we believe, receive, if the school be well -vrtyrkt-a, -o.4.litty.Are zecevin g now. They have, :besides, the advantage o *.obtati.il.3 g , where it is wished, a teacher of lower qualifica tions, and therefore, it may be presumed, on more reasonable terms. Government has undertaken to discharge for them a duty of the utmost value which it never discharged before. The examina tion of every child in the school who attends above a hundred times will be useful, not merely for the purpose of fixing the grant, bat as givisg the managers, without expense or trouble to them selves, the most accurate knowledge of the state of their undertaking and of the capacity of their teachers. This is a fresh service on the part of the Government, which is of a considerable money value, and of a moral value still more considerable. in- the The certificated masters and mistresses are still more displeased, or, we might say, dismayed, at the change effected by the Minute. They have been in the habit of receiving an augmentation to their salaries varying according to the rank of the certifi cate which they hold. This is now to cease, and they are to be paid according to the agreement which they may enter into with the managers of the school. They claim a vested interest in these Government bounties, and represent themselves as the victims of the bad faith of the Government. The case is certainly not without its hardship, and if any means can be suggested by which these claims can be met without sacrificing the end to the means and Education to the educators, we sincerely hope they will be adopted. At the same time, it is im possible to recognise the existence in this case of a vested interest. The whole Education system is only fifteen years old, it has been over and over again announced as purely tentative, and scarcely a year has elapsed without a proposition from some statesman of mark for its alteration or abolition. The fact that it has been formed by the Minutes of Council instead of by Acts of Parliament shows that it was felt necessary to have recourse to some more flexible and revolvable way of framing its rules, and that the rights it created were only temporary and provisional. The Education Com missioners report strongly against any vested in terest of certified teachers in the augmentation they at present receive. The certified teachers should also remember that they have been raised to their present position of affluence and comfort from poverty by the expenditure of public money. The capital employed in teaching them their profession has not been their own. They still retain their monopoly of public instruction, for no school is to receive Government aid except it have a certified teacher. Their salaries depend, after all, not on Government bounties, but on de mand and supply, and anything which spreads Edu cation wider and makes it better obviously tends to increase the demand. The change, too, tends to im prove the position of an efficient schoolmaster; his merit and his value will be exactly tested and known. On his efficiency the income of the schoolfrom Go- vernment will depend. As the service he renders will be more important, so it will be better appre ciated and better paid. The position of the teacher will be more independent, for his merits will speak for themselves. We believe that the really efficient and conscientiouiteacher will find his position in every way improved by the Minute. If the teacher is really worth his money, he will continue to get it, and probably with increase ; if not, he cannot be allowed to receive what he does not deserve because he has received it already. A similar claim will, no doubt, be set up on behalf of the Training Col leges, and must receive substantially a similar answer. If it were possible to obtain the beneficial objects proposed by the Minute without expectationsdisap ho have invested o have n e y e w ith a view to Government co - ope ra t i o n, it cer t a inly should be done; but to us the obstacles been pein ti f n formed m e e h d y bye ef those the w to such a compromise appear to be insurmountable. The claims already put forward amount simply to this—that everybody receiving money from, or paying money to, schools assisted by the Govern ment has a vested interest in the continuance of that assistance in which his pecuniary interests are involved; in other words, that for the sake of existing managers, teachers, pupil teachers, and lecturers, the existing state of things, however in n defensible, must extravagant oac o tvas t st iw e go x tnhu tto r oh e as itsns e d d o pai b ipi u eepo t pl rioi appliances. nts e p , o i vs e u.e d s hT i e n hol d a ev l et m he coa o at c s nths say, must be maintained exactly as it is. l anthcetaierseils.ficolchool-managers are th e means , no t th e en d. T s: th Can we,ithen, save the interest of existing teachers, • and introduce the new system by degroce? That is utterly impossible. Even now the Central-office can barely overtake its work, and would infallibly break down under the attempt to administer two systems at once. If assistance is to be extended to poorer schools than at present, we must have eco nomy. If grants are to be dependent on results, we must abolish payments which do violence' to that principle. We cannot have two sets of teachers under Government, ono receiving a bounty and the other not. We cannot go on with the old system of payments, and we can discern no resting-place between, the old system and the new. 7 Imes. , RAILWAY INTF,LLIG-EN CE. WIMBLLDON= AND DORKING. A special meeting.of. this company was held on Monday at the office, Poet's-corner, Westminster; Mr. Remington in the chain The' SECuETAItY read the report, which stated that the directors had concluded an -arrangement with the London and South Western Railway Com pany for the transfer of the undertaking to that company, The South Western 'Company would adopt the. Dorking Company's--debt of £23,000, would provide £25,000 for the purpose of paying off its floating debt, which had been estimated' to amount to that sum,.and would issue so much of the 4 per cent. preferential stock of the, London and South Western Railway COmpany to the share holders of this company as would yield upon their shares 4 per cent. per .annum for four years from the 3d of April last, and 4 per cent. per annum in perpetuity thereafter. ' The South Western Com pany had farther agreed, in. order to simplify the above arrangement, at joilee -to allot 41 per cent. stock, to yield 4 per cent. in perpetuity on the com pany's shares as from the 3d of April last, upon ,OceiVing in- cash the difference between 31 and 4 cter-e.,nt-for fourvkars4pQrLthia..cen4atq'avgel: and the rands at fhtlaiSpre 41.1 U.Cart &et, Ors woul enable them to make this payment. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. MANGLES, a formal 'resolution wan passed authorising the directors to carry out this arrange ment Mr. W, Jackson, M.P., and Mr. R. Henderson, the retiring directors, were re-elected, and the pro ceedings terminated. EPSOM AND LEATHERHEAD. A special meeting of this company was held on Monday, at the office, Poet's.corner, Westminster; Mr. G. Best in the chair. The report stated that the rent to be received from the South-Western Railway Company for the half•year ending the 30th of June last, would, after payment of the debenture interest, amounting to £228, suffice to pay a dividend of ss. per share, being at the rate of Os. per cent. per annum, leav ing a balance of £l2. The London and South- Western Railway Company had obtained Parlia mentary power to complete the purchase of the railway for £44,444 of South-Western 4- 1 - per cent. 2 guaranteed stock, giving an income equal to £2,000 a year. From that amount of stock the South- Western Company was to deduct £lO,OOO, and take upon itself .he debenture debt of the company, amounting to £lO,OOO. Of the residue of the stock, £33,000, bearing interest from the Ist of July last, was to be forthwith allotted to the shareholders at the rate of l',ll per share, leaving a balance of £1,444, which was to be retained by the' directors until a few unsettled matters had been adjusted, when the balance would be divided pro rata among the shareholders, and the company would become extinct. _ _ Mr. ROY, the solicitor, having read the deed of transfer, The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution, autho rising the directors to transfer the undertaking to the South-Western Railway Company. The resolution was carried unanimously. A dividend of ss. per share was declared, and Messrs. G. Best and T. E. S. Hutchins were re" elected directors to assist in winding up the affairs of the company. MUCH WENLOCK AND SEVERN JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this oompany was held at Much Wenlock on, Monday, Mr. W. P. Brookes in the chair. The Secretary read the report, which stated that the works were in a most satisfactory state, and that it was intended to . open the line on the 221 of October. The report recommended that the com pany should take powers, jointly with the Great Western, West Midland, and Shrewsbury and Here ford Companies, to subscribe £lO,OOO each towards the formation of the Coalbroo-kdale extension, which included a bridge over the river Severn, by means of which access would be obtained to the iron dis- triet of Shzopp The C HALRMAN, tia — moview atfcrzar report, expressed his regret that the works on the Severn Valley and on their own branch were not sufficiently forward to warrant the commencement of goods traffic, but he believed they would be ready, as announced, on the 22d of October. The traffic in time would be immense, and upon the heavy goods their line depended, for paying a dividend. The report was unanimously adopted. The meeting was then made special to consider the propriety of subscribing £lO,OOO towards the Coalbrookdale extension. - - - The CHAIRMAN pointed out the advantages of this extension, which, with the line from Wenlock, to join the Shrewsbury and Hereford at Craven Arms, would be of th 9 greatest benefit to their line. If they agreed to subscribe the money, the Great Western would work the whole line, paying 5 per cent. interest upon the capital. After some discussion, a resolution authorising the directors to issue new shares to the extent of £lO,OOO was agreed to. The proceedings then terminated. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY. At the Capel-street Police•office on Saturday a gentleman named Manning, having an estate worth £BOO per annum in the county, of _Louth, was, at theinstanee of the guardians of the North Dublin Union, charged with deserting his wife and daugh ter, and leaving them chargeable upon the Union for support. An apylication- for bail on•his own re eognisances, first refused, was ultimately granted, Mr. Manning -promising to meet the claim of the guardians, and to pay the expenses consequent on his ax rest. He also, promised to perfect a deed, by which his wife would be entitled to £4O per annum for her support. ' Six ships of the Channel Fleet are at Berehaven.

A cricket match for Mr. Lawrence's benefit, be tween I Zingari and All Ireland Eleven was com menced in the Coburg-gardens yesterday, which were comparatively deserted for the greater attrac tion of a footrace between the American Indian Deerfoot and Levett, in the Rotunda•gardens. Thousands attended to witness the contest, and it is said £3OO was received at the gate. Levett got a minute start, but ho was soon overtaken. The race was 10 miles, but at the 30th round, which made five miles, the Indian was left to pursue his course alone, which he did at the same pace, doing the 10 miles in 53 minutes and 35 seconds. 2HE NAVY.

SHE " ~1~l H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge, the General Commanding-in-Chief, arrived at the Gosport sta tion of the London and North-Wee-tern Railway at 2 p.m. yesterday on his annual tour of inspection. A Royal salute of 21 guns was fired from the crest of the works as his Royal Highness alighted from the train, where, in waiting to receive him, were Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., Lieutenant.-Go vernor of the garrison and commanding the south west district; Col. C. Bingham, Deputy-Adjutant. General, R.A. ; Col. Somerset, C. 8., Assist. Quar termaster-General; Col. Thackwell, Assist, Adjt.. General ; Captain C. Milligan, Aide-de-Camp, and Town Major Breton, 8:1. Accompanied by these officers his Royal Highness visited the new lines of defence, completed and in course of construction, on the western side of Portsmouth harbour, crossing over to Portsmouthon returning from his inspection in the evening, where his Royal Highness during his stay in the garrison has become the guest of Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., at the Govern ment-house. To-day his Royal Highness will visit the various forts and lines of defence on the eastern sides of Portsmouth harbour, and also review the troops stationed in the garrison on Southsea-common. According to present arrangements his Royal High ness returns to town from Portsmouth to-morrow. The first battalion of the Scots Fusileer Guards, commanded by Col. Francis Seymour, C. 8., removed yesterday forenoon from Portman-street and St: John's-wood barrack to relieve the third battalion of the Grenadier Guards, at Windsor. By the new regulation the battalion marched to Windsor, where they will arrive this day. The third battalion of the Grenadier Guards, under the command of Col. the Hon. H. H. Manvers Percy, C. 8., V.C., left the Windsor Infantry Bar racks yesterday morning for tie Portman-street and St. John's-wood Barracks, the battalion having completed the customary six months' service at Windsor. The troops are expected to encamp at Hounslow on their way to the metropolis, as they march to quarters instead of travelling by railway, as was until recently the custom. The winter session of the Army Medical School, at Fort Pitt, Chatham, commenced yesterday, when the whole of the students belonging to the school, together with Major-Gen. Eyre, and the principals, officers, and heads of departments connected with the garrison assembled in the lecture room at Fort Pitt. The introductory address was delivered by Deputy-Inspector-Gen. W. C. Maclean, M.D., Pro fessor of Clinical and Alilitary Surgery. By direc tion of the authorities at the War-office the course of study at the school during the present winter session is to be confined exclusively to the junior assistant-surgeons of the army, who have been directed to join at Fort Pitt from their respective regiments, no fresh medical candidates for commis sions having been entered this term. Major-Gen. Eyre, commanding the Chatha m dis trict, accompanied by the principal medical officers of the staff of the garrison, visited Sheerness on Monday, where he was occupied the whole day in the inspection of the Royal Artillery Barracks, Military Hospital, and the other establishments at that station. The sanitary condition of the hospital is excellent, and although the visit of Major-Gen. Eyre was unexpected, the utmost order, regularity, and cleanliness was found to prevail throughout the establishment.

At a meeting of the Council of the Bradt*Ord Chamber of Commerce, held on Monday afternoon last, Mr. Alderman Brown in the chair, the Secre tary read the following memorial, addressed to Lord John Russell, and the reply thereto received from the Foreign-office : " To the Right Hon. John Earl Russell, her Majes ty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs:- " The Memorial of the Bradford Chamber of Com merce, showeth— " That your memorialists have read with pleasure a letter addressed by order of your Lordship to the President of this Chaniber, dated the 7th of August last, in which your Lordship states' that her Ma jesty's Government had selected Mr. Ward to pro ceed to Berlin to assist in watching over the inte rests of Great Britain with reference to thepropmd treaty between the States of the Zollverein and the Imperial Government of France. " Your memorialists would respectfullyonce more impress upon your Lordship the great importance of her Majesty's Government, and through it the various chambers of commerce, being continually informed of the different stages of that treaty. " In the event of the treaty assuming the form of the Anglo-French treaty—namely, containing a tariff and the most favoured nation clause, your me morialists consider that great and important inte rests in this country might be jeopardised if, in consequence of that treaty, the same duties should in all cases be imposed by the Zollverein as they are by France. The interests of France and Eng land are as dissimilar as their productions, and your memorialists submit that it is impossible for any public man to possess all the information required for the variety of articles which make up the enormous amount of our export trade. Of public bodies it is only in the dif ferent chambers of commerce that this knowledge is to be found, and it is by thenf only that Her Ma jesty's Government can be put in possession of the • " Your memorialists would give an instance of one article in which this district, represented by your memorialists, is deeply interested—namely, worsted yarns, of which in the year 1860 there were exported to the Zollverein an amount above £2,000,000 in value at a duty of 3f. 75c. per 100 kilograms, and if the French duty were imposed that duty would amount to from 25f, to 100 f.—on the average about 401.—a duty which would destroy that foreign trade which is even more important than that with the United States of America. " Your memorialists could multiply instances, but the one above referred to will be deemed suffi cient to warrant the extreme anxiety of your memorialists that the negotiations should not be permitted to arrive at a stage when further exer tions would be useless in the face of afait acconzpli. " Your Lordship will perceive the importance of receiving this information sufficiently early to allow the different chambers of commerce to be consulted and your memorialists hope and believe the import ance of the question to this district will be a sufficient apology to your Lordship in your memorialists thus once more drawing your serious attention to it. " And your memorialists would venture to suggest that Her Majesty's Government adopt the same means which enabled the Belgian Government to be immediately informed of every phase and detail of the treaty then in progress between this country and France, which was effected by means of the Belgian Government asking and obtaining permis sion from the French Government to be daily made acquainted with the progress of the negotiations between this country and France, " Signed on behalf of the Council of the Bradford Chamber of Commerce, "11. W. RIPLEY, President." " Foreign-office, Sept. 20, 1861. Sir,—l am directed by Lord Russell to acknow lege the receipt of the memorial which you for warded to me from the Bradford Chamber of Com merce, expressing the wish of that body to be kept informed of the progress of the negotiations with Prussia for a treaty between this country and the States of the Zollverein, and I am to state to you, in reply, that Mr. Ward, who has been instructed assist in these negotiations, has also been directed to communicate with the different chambers of com merce, as regards any alterations which are to be most obedi en t h um bl e servant, made cg i n the tariff. I am,Sir, yourrff. ~ H. W. Ripley, Esq. " A. H. LAYARD." In the course of a conversation, Mr. JACOB BEHRENS complained of the vague ness of the answer to the memorial, and said that Mr. Ward did not go the right way to get informa tion, nor was he sent to Berlin to negotiate a treaty but simply to hear what was doing, and report what he heard, and as he did not hear anything he had come back without anything to report. So he (Mr. Behrens) had been informed. This brought in a question of the very highest importance, which was first mooted by the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, that of having a proper officer to attend to the trade of this country. The present Ministry of Commerce, the Board of Trade, was, he believed, actuated by the best intentions, but had no power ; and from the Foreign-office chambers of commerce got such letters as that just read, saying nothing at all, and showing utter ignorance of trade. He (Mr. Behrens) thought it would be the duty of all the chambers of commerce in the kingdom, in the next Session of Parliament, to see that they had a overpro perof th s country. the i d aily cou in ry. creabing pinetreraeusttshoorfittyhetfo watch doreigntra A rumour Was in circulation yesterday in Paris of the death ofithe Rev.

The inspector expressed himself perfectly satisfied at the manner in which the work has been done, and yesterday (the Ist instant) the narrow gauge line was opened for passenger traffic, three trains running from Paddington to the West Midland and Northern lines, and vice versa. FRENCH MILITARY ELOQUENCE. The Military Tribunal b sitting at Paris tried two days since, a soldier named Leclercq, a native of Amiens, on a charge of desertion. The prisoner en tered the army as a substitute in 1850, and his period of service would consequently expire at the end of 1857 ; in 1852, however, he was condemned two years' imprisonment for selling part of his equip ment, but was liberated some months before the ex piration of that term. As the term passed in prison was not to count as military service, his definitive liberation from the army was consequently post poned till April, 1859. In 1856, however, ho ob tained a furlough for six months, which was subse quently prolonged to the 31st December, 1857, when he would have been free but for the imprisonment he had undergone. As the prisoner did not return to his regiment at the beginning of 1858, he was denounced as a deserter, and a warrant was issued for his apprehension. Meanwhile he had married and settled at Argentan (Orne), and the gendarmery there never suspected he was a deserter, since his papers showed that he entered the service in 1850, more than seven years before ; nor did they become aware of the fact till July last, when he was arrested, being then the father of three children. The prisoner in his defence declared that he had acted throughout in good faith. As the counsel who had been selected to defend him was unavoidably absent when the trial came on the Court permitted Corporal Saverot, of the 19th Regiment, who was well acquainted with the facts of the case, to under take the prisoner's defence, to which he consented, and addressed the tribunal as follows :—" Gentle men, I am no lawyer, but only an humble corporal. I will, however, state what I think of the prisoner. Some would dwell upon the fact that he is the father of three children ; but I will only say that the pri soner, not knowing how to read, was unable to judge for himself as to the value of his papers. Others told him he was free, and he believed them. Then, having fallen in love, he married and settled in life. In the service he could not even have become a corporal ; ho wished to have children; he has them, and he finds the posi tion of a husband and father more agreeable than that of a soldier. That is the whole matter. Under ' these circumstances Leclercq comes to you and says, I really thought I was free, otherwise I should have returned to my regiment.' You may believe his words; therefore restore him to his children." The Tribunal, after a short deliberation, acquitted the prisoner, and the President gave orders for his immediate release.
