InAY be cons ulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities an& excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema hire decay at all staKes of life, than perhaps any other class of dim eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marti ' saes. Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their andleexmodifleations owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without . incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties May be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, d how th e ev il and itacon . equene es may be avoided, and above all, that there is s carcely any degree o f phys i cal i nf i rm it y or f unct i ona l der angement to whi c h th e ti me ly aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensiv e pract i ce i n th e t rea t men t o f th ese d e licate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the tau n t s and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply v•ttrtied by the great success that has attended his efforts in the . treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care o f - unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated Pnblications, assumed foreign flames and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who nave been induced to place faith in their pretensions. ...At home f or consultat i on d a il y from Eleven till Two, and from !_lx till Ei g ht .

Great care, therefore, became necessary in deal ing with them, but that care must not b e carr i e d t o an extravagant length. Somewhat similar observations applied with still greated force to the female witnesses to whom he had referred ; and it was from all the cir cumstances and probabilities of the case, and from the general 'conduct of Mr. Ciocci, that corroboration or otherwise of any of their statements must be sought, re membering always that if there were doubt the balance should be given in favour of innocence, and against guilt. He (Dr. ,Lushington) could not pass over altogether in silence the extraordinary nature of some of the interro gatories addressed to the witnesses, and, amongst others, parts of the Bth and 9th. Witnesses were asked whether Mr. Ciocci was a . member of the Church of England ? Now, what had that to do with the question ? The court was at a loss to conceive why such an interroga tory had been put. He trusted that no one supposed the same measure of justice would not be dealt out to all parties litigant in that court, no matter what were their religious opinions. Then there followed an interrogatory as to the religious faith of Madame Ciocci before and at the time of her Marriage, and whe ther she had not been in communication with some Roman Catholic priest, all without the least reference to the suit in any way whatever. Indeed the interrogatories might have been lessened in miinber, and condensed in, one twentieth part of the space without the least injiuY to the cause. The 9th and 10th articles pleaded what had been called, perhaps not very accurately, the solicitation by Mr. Ciocci of the chastity of Jane Legge-; but the court was of opinion that the unsupported evidence of Jane Legge alone could not be safely relied on ; but other charges had'been made which rendered it very pos sible that such evidence might have some bearing upon the whole case. It was not, however, sufficient to es tablish the charge here made. The next charge was not that relating to Charlotte Thomas. This case was most materially distinguished from that of Jane Legge. Mr. Ciocci's acquaintance-- and, he might almost say his in tiinacy—with this woman was not only denied, but was even admitted. The sole question was, whether the inter course which was admitted to have taken place between the parties was of a criminal or an innocent nature. The explanation offered by Mr. Ciocci was, that he was connected with an association called the Female Aid Society in Red Lion-square, and that from pure and even laudable motives, he had induced Charlotte Thomas to return to her mother at Chelsea. It must be observed that Charlotte Thomas was a prostitute, and Ciocci accosted her, as he stated, from " paternal" motives. The question arising was, therefore, first, whether there was a prima f ac i e case of adultery estab lished with Charlotte Thomas ; and, secondly, whether or not that charge wasrebutted by satisfactory proof? In the 16th article it was alleged that this young woman had visited Mr. Ciocci at his lodgings, No. 16, Grosienor street West. Owen deposed that towards the latter end of December, 1852, he saw her at the window of Ciocci's lodgings. They had got therefore two steps in the case. First, it was admitted on behalf of Mr. Ciocci that he had an acquaintance with this girl, though he alleged for a different purpose ; and secondly, she had been seen at his lodgings in Grosvenor-street. West. In her exa mination in chief on the 19th of April, Thomas gave her account of the intimacy in the following manner : She said that at the commencement of her acquaintance with Mr., Ciocci she was 17 years of age. It began at an eating-houSe'in Lisle-street, which appeared to be fre quented by Italians and prostitutes. It had been said in the course of the argument at the bar, that Mr. Ciocci had been driven by want to resort to such a place; but he (Dr. LushiEgtop)_ did not believe that in this metropolis Mr. Ciocci could not have procured accom modation without contamination from such associates ; and he could not say that he looked with much favour upon those symposiums of Italian refugees and prosti tutes. The witness went on to say that she did not see Mr. Ciocci again for some time, but she afterwards met him in the street, went home with him, and, according to her statement, committed adultery with him. Now the question was at once raised, was her evidence credible or not ? On cross-examination, on the 21st and 22d of April, she said she did not know. anything about such an institution as the Female Aid Society ; or that Mr. Ciocci had ever been the means of restoring girls in her position to a moral course of life. Afterwards she said the acquaintance commenced by his asking her whether she would not consent to go home to her mother, if at his intercession her mother would con sent to receive her ? She said she replied that she should be glad to do so, and he immediately accompanied her tq Chelsea to her mother, whom he induced to receive her. She added that he had been a kind friend to her, and could not have been more so if he had been her father. She then refused to state upon her oath that he had behaved criminally towards her ; and said that she was sorry she had told the examiner what she did. This was a. little startling. He could not entertain one shadow of a doubt that something had taken place between the 19th and the 22nd of April to cause this discrepancy. He did not pretend to say which statement was true or which was incorrect, but he did say, that through the medium of some person or some agent, the witness had been induced to give a totally different account from that which she had given at her examination in chief ; for it would have been altogether impossible, if the cross-examination had gone on upon the 19th, for her to have given such very different answers. Why had not her mother been examined to corroborate the statement of her daughter ? Her mother came up with her ; why then, was she not also examined ? Surely, when they were told of intercourse of the description alleged by Mr. Ciocci, between a married man separated from his wife and a person of this kind, the court ought to have the best confirmation of it possible. Again, the first in terrogatory was one asking whether the witness had had any communication with the other witnesses in the case, and it was a most remarkable fact that the first inter rogatory put to' her was not the first but the third. I am ashamed (continued Dr. Lushington, with great ve hemence and indignation) ; it is an endeavour to im pose upon the court, and to keep back that information which it is entitled to have. The interrogatory is kept back because the parties know that this witness has been tampered with, and that if they had put the first inter rogatory to her it would have discovered who were the persons who had so tampered with her. I wish I had in evidence who those persons were. Not in this court only, but in another would they have to answer for their conduct. It is as clear as the light of day—as clear as the sun at noon—that this witness has been tampered with throughout the whole of her examination and cross-examination, and that this interrogatory has been suppressed lest the mode in which it was done and the persons who did it should be known. Dr. Lushing ton said he bad now discussed at great length the evi dence upon the 16th article, but before he pronounced any opinion upon it he "should proceed to examine the other charges. With regard to an alleged act of adul tery at a brothel with Polly Miller, whose evidence was supported by that of Juliana Beck, it was clear that- Mr. Ciocci had been in constant communication with her ; but the court could not safely proceed without sonic further corroboration. Then there remained only the case of Fanny Alexander. The Bth article pleaded that Mr. Ciocci habitually consorted with prostitutes, and was constantly walking with them both at Brighton and in London. Owen deposed that be commenced watching him on the 6th of October, 1852, and con tinued to do so until the 3d of December. During that period he saw Ciocci conversing with prostitutes, no fewer than seven times, either in the morni ng o r th e evening. There could be no reason to doubt the gene ral correctness of Owen's statement, because in such conversations lay the main part of Mr. Ciocci's own case ; but, as to whether his 'explanation of his motives was satisfactory, the onus probundi rested with him. Alex ander, according to her own account, was a prostitute, aged 20, and she deposed to a criminal intimacy with Mr. Ciocci in May, 1852, at a brothel in Chelsea, but where she professed to be unable to say. She said she frequently saw him at Windsor-terrace, Vauxhall-road. On the 15th article she stated that Mr. Ciocci was ig norant of her residence in Westminster, and that she desired him to direct to her at Stafford-place ; that she received a note, desiring her to call upon him ; that she did so, and that he took her to several police-offices ; that he told her to deny ever having been improperly in timate with him ; that he afterwards took her to his lodgin g s in Grosvenor-street, and that ho there com mittedadultery with her. In answer to the 21st inter rogatory, which was with reference to the Red Lion square Society, she said that Ciocci had told her that if she would like to change her mode of life, and be a good girl, he would get her a situation ; but she denied that he had ever asked her to enter some reformatory associa tion. (Dr. Lushington went minutely and at very great length into the evidence respecting Mr. Ciocci's con nexion with this witness, Mr. Ciocci having contended that he had only sought to procure from her a statement respecting a Mr. Guadelata, who was a candidate for the ministry of an Italian chapel, whom Alexander charged with having once slept with her, and whom he therefore 345, trand, London. - CONSISTORY COURT.—JAN. 18.

By order, Dr. Lushington now gave sentence. He said the case had been very fully discussed at the bar, the argument having occupied no less than four days. He thought that that time bad been well consumed, for the veracity of many witnesses had been called in question. The evidence was contradictory to a very great extent, and consequently.much time !must' necessarily be spent in the investigation of such a ease. Indeed, a lengthened inquiry was absolutely requisite for the discovery of the truth—if indeed it were possible, under all the circum stances, to arrive at the truth at all. He must com mence by stating' the few admitted facts of the case.• The marriage took place on the 15th of January, 1851. It weave that Mr. Ciocci Was an Italian refugee, whd had' betel (for 'some years resident in this country ; that he derived his maintenance by teaching lan guages, and that for some time before the marriage he had been a resident, as he (the learned doctor) un derstood, at Brighton. The lady was a Miss Jemima Mary Frances Bacon Franks. She had also resided at Brighton, and wag possessed of a considerable pro perty. She was the elder of the two, though the respective ages of the parties did not distinctly appear ; but there was enough in the admitted circumstances of the case to satisfy his mind that, according to all pro bability, this was not a marriage likely to produce much happiness. The parties moved in different spheres of life, and the fortune was all secured on the lady. The separation took place on the 14th of March, 1851, so that there was, in fact, a cohabitation—if such it could be called—of two months only. What were the peculiar circumstances which led to this separation were not disclosed by any evidence in the case ; and indeed much was left, as he thought, very inconveniently, for the court to conjecture. For instance, he knew nothing of the facts immediately preceding the 14th of March, 1851, which had caused the cohabitation to cease. How ever, cease it did ; and he found Mr. Ciocci in London, and his wife elsewhere—where it did not appear. From this time to the commencement of the suit in Hilary term in 1853, there was an entire blank ; with, however, one exception, for it appeared that the lady was en deavouring by her agents to find proof of a charge of adultery against her husband. All the court knew of this was from the correspondence in the case produced by Mr. Ciocci, from which he collected that Mr. Ciocci did not attempt to enforqe cohabitation. From the same source he also formed the conclusion that Mrs. Ciocci had at that time no knowledge of the special act. of cruelty now charged, for such knowledge would be wholly inconsistent with the letters from her produced by her husband. With regard to the general charge of cruelty, he (Dr. Lushington) was of opinion that it wholly failed, and that the evidence to support it was so entirely insufficient that it would be wasting time to enter into any further discussion of that part of the case, more especially as it had no bearing upon the specific act of cruelty charged. To that spe cific act, and to the evidence adduced to substantiate it, he would therefore at once address himself; The 6th article stated that Mr. Ciocci before and at the time of his marriage was suffering from disease, that he was at tended by divers medical practitioners, and that he was warned against the risk of communicating the disease to his wife if he married, but that he did nevertheless marry, and did so communicate the malady to Madame Ciocci. If this averment had been proved, he should have had no doubt whatever, both - upon principle and authority, that an act of legal cruelty had been com mitted. The proof necessary to support the charge was twofold. First, evidence was necessary that Mr. Ciocci bad the disease, and then evidence to show that his wife had also become infected with it. Mr. Watson, a sur geon at Brighton, was the first witness, and there was not the slightest reason why the court should not give 'the fullest credence to his statements. Mr. Watson de posed that he had been acquainted with Mr. Ciocci for three or four years prior to November 1850 ; that on the 17th of that month he attended him, and continued to attend him till the 27th of December, at which time he was not cured. The witness then left Mr. Ciocci in ,charge of Dr. Starr, who succeeded to his practice. Doctor Starr said that he attended Mr. Ciocci on the 10th of January, 1851. Mr. Ciocci told him that he had consulted a foreign gentleman, whose medicine had done him good. Dr. Starr then made a professional examination of him, and he deposed that though he was approaching convalescence, he was not at that time cured. Dr. Starr did not himself prescribe for him, but he de posed to the prescriptions of his predecessor from the books of the practice which had been handed over to him. Upon this evidence there rested no doubt what ever. There was no contradictory or conflicting tes timony ; and the court had no right, either legally or morally, to doubt the veracity or medical know ledge of either of these gentlemen. It was, there fore, in the judgment of the court proved beyond all question that Mr. Ciocci. had been diseased for some time immediately prior to the marriage ; and that he was not well on the 10th of January, five days before the marriage. The next step in the case was, whether he communicated the disease to Madame Ciocci. It was hardly necessary to inquire whether there was any evidence of his having been warned of the consequences Of marrying in the state he was clearly proved to have been in ; for he (Dr. Lushington) was of opinion that common sense and ordinary experience he spoke not of any higher motive—must have made Mr. Ciocci quite aware of the probable consequences— the contequences most likely to result from his marriage. If this were a point necessary to be determined, he should have no doubt whatever in determining that a man who married under such circumstances and com municated a disease to his wife, would be guilty, to use the mildest term applicable to such recklessness, of cruelty in the eye of the law. He should decide thus upon the principle that if a man 'does an act likely to produce injury, and if the injury is produced, he can never excuse himself by saying that he hoped the result might be averted by some peculiarly good fortune. But if warning were necessary, warning Mr. Ciocci had. He had ample warning from Mr. Watson, who told him that it was impossible for him to be married before he was quite cured. That was on the 27th of December, the last day the witness saw him. What his state was on the 10th of January, five days before his marriage, appeared from the evidence of Dr. Starr. To marry in a state in which there was the slightest chance of com municating the disease was a crim e per se. The point that next arose was whether it was so communicated to Madame Ciocci. Mr. Watson deposed that he was staying at Brighton in February, 1851, when Mr. Ciocci told him he was married, and wished him to prescribe for his wife. He went to her house, but she refused to see him, and he prescribed for her according to Mr. Ciocci's description. He (Dr. Lushington) must here express his surprise and deep regret that the exa miner should have left the evidence in such a doubtful state, and should not have asked the witness when Mr. Ciocci had described his wife's malady to be, and what he (Mr. Watson) had prescribed. If this had been done the case would have been comparatively clear • but this unfortunate omission had left the most material: point in a state of doubt, from which it was impossi ble to extri cate it. Anothermedical witness had described the symptoms, but he said that they might have proceeded from natural causes, and that they afterwards ceased without any special treatment. On the whole, then, he (Dr. Lushington) was of opinion that it being clearly proved that Mr. Ciocci was still unwell on the 10th of January, five days before his marriage, the probability was that he did communicate the disease to his wife ; but that as there was, from the case he had mentioned, no legal proof that he had done so the charge of cruelty failed. He was of opinion it was essential to sup port such a charge that the corpus delicti should be esta blished, and where there was no communication proved he was not prepared to say that, however great the moral delinquency of marrying in such a condition, it would constitute a legal act of cruelty as understood by that court. Before he addressed his attention to the evidence adduced in support of the charges of adultery, he must notice that there was a great gap in the history of the case, which was accounted for neither by plea nor evidence. He presumed that the lady continued to live apart from her husband after March 1851 ; and he was led to presume that Mr. Ciocci came up to London. When he left Brighton the court was 'unable to find out, but come to London he did at last, and he seemed to have f o ll ow ed his occupation of t eac h er of languages somewhere or other. Some intimation must have reached Madame Ciocci, which gave rise to the inquiry which was instituted, as they learned from the evidence of Edser. This led to the em ployment of policemen, and persons who had been in the police ; and also the examination as witneses of com mon women of the town. Now wherever persons of the description of Owen and others were employed for hire and money to procure evidence, everything they did and said must be watched with the greatest . jealousy and vigilance. Such persons were naturally anxious to at. Offices, 9, Austin.friars, H.- HUNTER. (11emoved from 113, Cmanct-street.) December 21st, 1853. thought an unfit person for the office.) Dr. Lushington observed that Mr. Ciocci's great defence was his con nexion with the Red Lion-square society, on the strength of which he said his communication with prostitutes was for a pure purpose. But even the establishment of such a connexion would not substantiate his inno cence. No one would contend that the support of such a society, however laudable in itself it might be, would constitute a perfect panoply of purity. He feared that mankind were much too prone to error and inconsistency not sometimes to fall, even though they might be supporters of such a society. But the most Mr. Ciocci could prove respecting his connection with the society was, that he held conversations with Mr. Smith, the secretary ; that he had suggested subscribers ; that he had undertaken to distribute the tracts ; a nd that he had satisfied Mr. Smith as to the interest h took in the institution. The court would have been glad to have had some more precise information respecting the society. He should like to have known whether it was so affluent that it could send out agents into the highways and bye ways to bring in persons to receive its benefits. How ever that might be, Mr. Ciocci had accosted two girls, Thomas and Alexander. Neither had entered the insti tution. Neither had been reformed ; but both had re torted by charging the pious agent with the commission of adultery. Not one came to the institution ; and both et-f-t-06 43 , , ti th, 7 ol, fr it d . ~-• ~ .. • ... • where th, • • • A• • 4 4 , " 44, • sels being 1„ 01 , 4 " _c-.7-ttect" . / 7,htf, t tWt z. aj M.

But did the evidence of Mr. Smith call for such an association with prostitutes on the part of Mr. Ciocci as was described by Owen ? Was it part of the vocation of Mr. Ciocci to be drinking With Polly Miller it the Devonshire Arms, at the corner of Tichborne street, seven , times within two or three months ? He (Dr. L.) confessed that he was at a loss for an explanation of that circumstance. These things did somewhat startle him. He had had so little evidence as to the proceedings of this institution, that he was not willing to attribute improper conduct to any bond fide agent either of that or of'any decent society ; but if he was asked to believe that the mere fact of being an agent of an institution of this kind was to remove all suspicion from associations most suspicious in themselves, he had surely a right to expect that such an agent should be at least, in the ordinary sense of the word, fallible man though he was— . ete 7 //z. le old dam was built, the new screw steamves• ig longer than the paddlewheel vessels.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of Manufacturing and Supplying Steam Fuel of the best quality and upon the most economical terms. The advantage of steam fuel over coal are:- 1. Freedom from spontaneous combustion. 2. Economy of space in stowage. 3. Less waste, either by friction or decomposition. 4. Saving in the wear of boilers and fire bars. None of the existing Steam Fuel Companies possess the advantage of being entirely supplied from their ewn collieries with coal specially adapted for the manufacture of this fuel. It has hitherto been the practice to manufacture the small coal or refuse only into steam fuel, and the heavy royalties paid to the patentees, and the expensive machinery employed, have left a com paratively small sum available for the purchase of even small coal of the requisite quality, without a material reduction in the profits. With a view to meet these olections, this Company has secured, upon advantageous terms, the right of using an er onopaical patent process, and the patentee has entered into an agreement that the cost of the fuel, tree on board (inclusive of , he cost and transit of the coal) shall not exceed 85 9.1. per ton. The present price of the fuel at Swansea is 145.: thus leaving a nett profit of ss. 3d. per ton to the Company. The patentee has mg - aged that the first works, capable of produc ing 100 tons a day, shall be completed within four months from their commencement. The works will be enlarged with the increasing de mand for the fuel. As the enlargement of the works will not cause any addition to the expenses of management and other fixed ch it a fair 'o presume that this will result in a considerable augmenta tion of the divisible profits. The Company has also secured the lease of a valuable colliery of 500 acres in extent, with an unexpired term of 94 years, and subject to a royalty of 6d. per ton. - There are five seams of bituminous and free burning coal, aggreg :tang about 20 feet in thickness ; one seam has been already opened by level. The coal field is situated 300 yards frnm the Port Tennant Canal, which commanicatea with Brit ton Ferry, the shipping port of N eath, and the eastern side of wan sea harbour. These two ports nearly approximate the lines of the South Wales and Vale of Neath Railways. The coal on this property is peculiarly adapted, from its purit: and strength, to tae purpose for which it is intended; and it cin be easily won and worked as may be seen by reference to the geological map of the districts and the reports of two engineers and colliery viewers. Considering the very large quantity of coal which the colliery is caoable of ruoplying beyond that which is requisite for the manufac ture of the patent Mel. the surplus can be sold for steam, manufac turing, or household purposes ; and trim this source alone a large re venue will arise to the Com any. Two levels can be ..pened in six weeks ; and the coal can be sold In any quantity and at a Very remu nerative price, in Swansea and the contiguous markets. The Patent Fuel has been subjected to frequent t' ials, of which the most recent was made in the course of the month of June last, in the Wave Queen Steamer, and the very favourable result 'is detailed in the annexed reports by Messrs. Dickson and Graves. The long- experience which each of them has had in the testing of various kinds of steam fuel, and the careful manner in which the trial was made, impress a peculiar value up.:n the unanimity of their opinion. The characteristics of this fuel are- -its being well condensed and carbonised; its stowing a clean fracture when broken, and being free from slag or other impure matter. It rapidly generates heat, brings out a clear fire under the boilers (which Mr. Graves designates as "brilliant"), with little smoke, cinder or clinker, and can be easily stoked. The economic value over coal consists in the feel being free from decomposition and waste during a long voyage; whilst it effects a saving equal to thirty-five per cent. in stowage. REPORTS. Mr. J.

DicrsoN. " Integer vitae seeleridque plums." Did Mr. Ciocci appear to be such a character ? Could he pronounce him to be such, looking at all the facts of the case ? Here were the admitted facts. • That in De cember 1850 and Jan. 1851, he had a disgraceful dis ease, derived from association with some of these very prostitutes ; that not being assured of his perfect cure on the 10th of January, he _married on the 15th. Nor was this,all. how stood his character as regarded the seleMn obligation of an oath`? Was it possible to read his answers and avoid coming to cne conclusion ? He denied that for some time before, and at the period of his said marriage, he was suffering from disease ; but it' 'was declared in the evidence of .the medical witnesses from Brighton that he w,as in that state. Had they the slightest reason to suppose that Mr. Watson and Dr. Starr were not speaking the truth ? Yet if they were speaking the truth Mr. Ciocci was not. The court was obliged to look at character in this case, for Mr. Ciocci's very shield and defence was character. "It is true," he said, "I placed myself in a position natu turally engendering strong suspicions, but those suspi cions will be dissipated when you come to know that I acted as the agent of a great and humane society, and that my life is pure." The court would not waste time in noticing the salvo to Mr. Ciocci's conscience con tained in the Magical words "as articulated," which had often served as a cloak for the disguise of truth and the promulgation of falsehood. But the words had nothing to do with the matter in this case ; they did not occur in the sixth article, and Mr. Ciocci's statement involved a direct averment of what had been disproved by credible witnesses. The court was of opinion that the defence had wholly failed, and that while the attempt to ascribe to Mr. Ciocci a pure and praiseworthy motive was not supported by affirmative. evidence ; any presumption arising from the evidence of Mr. Smith had been re butted and annihilated by the proved character and con duct of Mr. Ciocci himself. All honour, to those who from a pure motive dedicated their money and their time to rescuing from - vice and misery the outcasts of society; but nothing could be more disgusting than to see an ostensible connection with such a society paraded for selfish purposes, for corrupt indulgence, and for defeat. ing justice. He (Dr. Lushington) trusted that he had with due patience and care examined all the evidence by which Mr. Ciocci had sought to exculpate himself. He had not forgotten, too, that he was a foreigner, though after eight years' residence in England that was an element of less importance ; but the court was of opinion that his justification had wholly failed, and it now only rc-mained for it to state its decision. As to Charlotte Thomas, there was her own evidence, sup ported by Owen, who saw her in Mr. Ciocci's room. The court was of opinion that her examination was not shaken by her cross-examination, but that it had even been confirmed by it ; for it was perfectly clear that be tween her examination and cross examination she had been tampered with. The court was not to be thus deceived. The very foundation of Mr. Ciocci's defence was, that lie was intimate with her; and when his averment of benevolent and philantWopic motives was discredited, his own case corroborated her evidence. A similar observation applied even more strongly to the case of Fanny Alexander. The court had no doubt that Alexander did return with Mr. Ciocci to Grosvenor street, and as it had been proved to his satisfaction that the purpose alleged for the defence was false, for what other conclusion could he come bit that she returned for the purpose of committing adultery ? In this case j he should pronounce the charge of cruelty to be not proved ; and he should pronounce for the separation ( on the ground of adultery, especially as referred to Char lotte Thomas and Fanny Alexander, although that was 1 unnecessary. He should also condemn Mr. Ciocci in the costs. The judgment occupied upwards of two hours in its delivery. NAVAL „INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 18. We believe Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., will be succeeded in the Victory by Capt. Dalrymple Hay, as flag captain, a probability we recorded some time ago. The engineer department of this arsenal is engaged in deepening the moats of the fortifications of Gosport, on which side this harbour it is proposed to erect a new barrack for 1,000 infantry, with the necessary comple ment of officers. The site pointed out for this additional garrison for Gosport is near the double gateway within the lines. The Dauntless, 31, screw-frigate, Captain Ryder, is to be ready for sea or out of the hands of the dockyard artificers by the 3d of next month. She has got 10 volunteers from the Simoctn, but is still 280 short of her complement. The Serpent, 12, Commander Lambert, is under the shears to-day, dismasting, preparatory to being paid off to-morrow. The Princess Royal, 91, Capt. Lord Clarence Paget, has entered a few mere hands, and is favourably pro gressing with her equipment. The Colossus, 80, was brought down the harbour this day by the steam-tug, and placed in the fitting basin to remove her ballast, &c., prior to being taken into dock to have a screw propeller fitted. This ship was built at Pembroke, and launched in 1848. She was built upon the design of the ex• Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir William Symonds, and is so nearly upon the lines of the Vanguard that she may justly be considered a sister ship. The Sphynx, 6, paddle sloop, has been placed in No. 4 dock to-day, to undergo the necessary repairs, and to fit her for further service. The freight-ship 3 Sir George Pollock and Orient have been taken up to convey file 62d Regiment from Queens town to Wlta ; the 49th, from Malta to Barbadoes ; and the 36th, from Barbadoes to this port.

The following is O'Byrne's summary of the services of Rear-Admiral Chads, C. 8., just; promoted to his flag rank : " Henry Ducie Chads is eldest son of Capt. Henry Chads, R.N., who died October 10, 1799. " This officer entered the Royal Naval Academy at Portsmouth, Oct. 25, 1800, and embarked in Septem ber, 1803, as A. 8., on board the Excellent, 74, Captain Frank Sotheron, in which he attained the rating of midshipman in August, 1804, and served until August, 1806, on the Mediterranean station, where he latterly contributed to the defence of Gaeta, and the capture cif. Capri. After an intermediate attachment, on the home station, to the Zealand, 64, Captain Robert Hall, and Polyphemus, 64, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral George Murray, he was promoted Nov. 5, 1808, into the Illustrious, 74, Captains William Shield and William Robert Broughton, employed at the blockade of Cadiz; and in July, 1808, joined the Iphigenia, 36, Captain Henry Lambert, with whom he went to Quebec, and then to India. Passing over many events of minor im portance, although fraught with d a n ger , in which Lieut. Chads bore an active part, we find him in July, 1810, ceivin regthe public thanks of Lieutenant Col. Keating, for his conduct at the landing of the troops previous to the conquest of Isle Bourbon ; and, on being subse quently lent, 'with the Iphigenia's launch and cutter, to the. Sirius, 36, Captain Samuel Pym, particularly dis tinguishing hihuself at the capture, Aug. 13 following, of ',lle de la Passe, the key to Grand Po r t i n th e I s l e o f France, on which occasion Lieutenant George It. Nor- man, the leading officer, having been killed in the onset, he succeeded to the command of the storming party, and had the satisfaction of seeing the enemy fly on all sides. In the course of the same month he assumed a share in a series of gallant but unfortunate operations, which, by the 28th, terminated in the self-destruction of the British frigates, Sirius, bea r i ng th e b roa d pendant of Commodo re Samuel Pym, and Magicienne, the cap ture of the Nereide, and the surrender, to a power ful French squadron, of the Iphigenia herself, after incurring an individual loss of at least 5 men killed and 13 wounded, at the entrance of Port Sud-Est. From the date last mentioned, Lieutenant Chads re mained subject to all the horrors of a dreadful capti vity, until released at the subsequent reduction of the Mauritius, when he was reappointed first of the, Iphigenia, . Captain Thomas Gordon Caulfeild, with whom he returned to England, and was paid off in. May, 1811. On Dec. 6 ensuing he became attached to the Semiramis, 36, Captain Charles Richardson, employed off Cork and in the Channel ; and on August 17 following rejoined Captain Lambert, as his senior lieutenant in the Java, of 46 guns, and a crew of 397 raw and inefficient men, in which ship, with Lieutenant General Thos. Hislop, the newly-appointed commander in-chief at Bombay, on board, and two East Indiamen in escort, he sailed from Spithead, Nov. 12. Being off the coast of Brazil on Dec. 29,,the Java, whose anomalous crew had by this time been reduced to 377 men, fell in and came to a close action with the powerful and ably-equipped American ship Constitution, of 55 guns, and a complement of 480 veterans. After a desperate struggle of 3 hours and 40 minutes, in the midst of which, Captain Lambert being mortally wounded, the command devolved upon Lieutenant Chads, the Java having had 22 men killed and 102 wounded, and being withal reduced to the state of a sinking bulk, was forced to strike to her comparatively giant antagonist, but not until she had also inflicted a very serious loss. It is scarcely necessary here to add, that Lieutenant Chads, and the whole of his surviving officers and men, were most honourably acquitted by a court-martial (which on their return home in April 13, 1813, assembled to try them for the loss of their ship) of all blame in that disaster, the former personally obtained the highest en comiums for his "zeal, ability, and bravery,' and was most deservedly rewarded by commission ' dated May 23, 1813, with th e comman d o f t h e Columbia, sloop of war. He afterwards signalised himself at the reduction of Guadaloupe in 1815, and on Nov. 24 in that year was paid off. We next find Captain Chads appointed Nov. 22, 1823, to the Arachne, 18, in which he pro ceeded to India, and there, on his own responsibility, joined in the expedition against Rangoon, under Major- General Sir Archibald Campbell, to whom, by his won derful exertions, he rendered, as commandet-in-chief for a considerable time of the flotilla on the river Irrawaddy, the most conspicuous and effective co-operation ; inso much, indeed, that he was advanced to post rank July 25, 1825, confirmed in the command of the Alligator, of 28 guns, And' 27 7 1826, and nominated a C.B. Dec. 26 following ; besides calling ,forth the thanks of the Su preme Government in India, and the praise of the House of Commons at home. Having finally affixed his signature as senior naval officer and civil commis sioner, to the treaty of pe ace conc l u d e d w i t h t h e Bur mese, he conveyed the first instalment of the indemnifi cation paid by them from Yandaboo to Calcutta, and then returning to Plymouth paid the Alligator off, Jan. 3, 1827. He subsequently, from Jan. 2, 1834, until the close of 1837, and from Aug. 20, 1841, until the sum mer of 1845, commanded, on the East India station, the Andromache, 28, and Cambrian, 36, in the former of which, when in company with the Imogene, 28, Captain Price Blackwood, he forced the passage of Bocca Tigris, in China, Sept. 7 and 9, 1834. He has been employed since Aug. 26, 1845, as captain superintendent of the Royal Naval College, and captain of the Excellent gun nery ship. Captain Chads married Nov. 26, 1815, Eliza beth Townshend, eldest daughter of John Pook, Esq., of Fareham, Hants." REPRESENTATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD. The following is a copy of the letter of Sir R. H. Inglis, tendering his resignation : My dear Mr. Vice-Chancellor,—lt is my painful duty to request your permission to retire from the service of the University in the House of Commons—a service which I have found to be alike honourable and delight ful ; and in which I should have rejoiced to have been enabled to continue longer ; but a warning in the state of my health, since my return from the Continent in October last, compels me, according to the judgment of my medical adviser, formally delivered to me a few days ago, to withdraw from the labour of the post in which the favour of Convocation has placed me in nine succes• sive Parliaments. I still enjoy, thank God, that measure of strength which may be equal to other duties in other stations. I have even well considered before making this formal communication whether I might not have lingered as one of your burgesses in my place in Parliament, with drawing from every work there except that which was directly connected with my immediate share in the re presentation of the University. But the distinction is often so fine between the obligations which might de vols'e upon me in that character and the obligations which must belong to me as one of the general body of the house, that, having undertaken the whole, I cannot now deceive myself into the belief that I could consis tently retain the one portion, and systematically neglect the other. Though a vacancy cannot literally take place till the House of Commons shall be re-assembled, I feel it to ho my duty to intimate thus early my respectful wishes and tentions. Commons with considerable reluctance. haverece I I will not affect to deny that I abandon the House of of chiefaho vpeer,y any largseacsrla sacrifices o o f f m k y in o tn ,r e l ss op o i t n i without, io a n ll s. sui ,B es, utn;y feeling arises from the severance of my connection with the University. While I live I hope ever to remember with the deepest gratitude the unabated indulgence with which you and your predecessors, and the whole con stituency, have accepted my endeavours to discharge the trust confided to me. To the fulfilment of that trust I claim to have brought nothing except watchfulness and labour ; I may, perhaps, add, au adherence to those principles which, .as already set forth by me in my pre vibus course in • Parliament, originally induced the University, a quarter of a century aou, to place me where I have since continued to sit. The experience of this unexampled confidence, while it increases my gratitude to those who have conferred it, increases also my regret at my separation from them ; and if I could have hoped hereafter to serve them, as in the long period of my previous engagement, I should not now have felt it necessary to place at the disposal of Convocation the greatest honour and one of the greatest enjoyments of my life—my seat as one of their burgesses in the House of Commons.—l have the honour to' be, my dear Mr; Vice-Chancellor, with the greatest res p ec t, your most obliged and most grateful servant, (Signed) RODEIIT HARRY INGLIS. 7, Bedford-square, Jan. 13, 1854. OXFORD, JAN. 18. A requisition, numerously signed by the resident members of Convocation, has this day been sent to Sir William Heathcote, Bart., soliciting him to become a candidate for the approaching vacancy in the repreten tation of this University. The requisition is entrusted to the Rev. Robert Hussey, 8.D., Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History, who this morning left Oxford for the purpose of presenting it to the honourable baronet, and should he accede to the wishes of the re quisitionists, we understand that the Warden of New College has consented to become the chairman of his Oxford committee. At present we understand no an swer has been received. Lord Robert Cecil, it is now quite certain, is the nobleman who has been solicited by the Low Church party to become their candidate. His lordship, who was formerly of Christ Church, was, in the Michaelmas Term, 1849, awarded an honorary fourth class in matlie 'maties' and was last November elected to a fellowship at All Souls' College. His lordship is 24 years of age. Up to this morning no reply bad been received from his lordship. THE METROPOLITAN' BRIDGES.--Mr. Oliveira, M.p. t has a notice of motion before the House of Commons as to the condition of the metropolitan bridges, and whether the toll-paying bridges should not be thrown open to the public. . , ' ...,, ,; .. 7fp•• 'St , '. ..,••.::', - lF , 1 , •/ ,- ?

The Pacific brought 62 passengers and 272,223 doll. in speoie. The Pacific sailed from New York at noon on the 7th instant, and same evening, off Sandy Hook, passed the Andrew Foster and Great Western ships, from 'hence, 'bound in. A dispatch announces th a t th e new, steam-ship San Francisco, New .York. for San Fraiicisco, was fallen in with at sea, or the '26th ult., by the Maria Freeman, for Liverpool, The San Francisco was in lat. 8.20, long. 69 (about' the latitude of Cape May), and was completely disabled. Her decks were swept, rigging demolished, and the sea ran so high that no aid could be afforded her. She sailed from this port on the 21st ult. • A letter from Washington, dated the sth, says— " News has just arrived of the wreck of the new steamer San Francisco, which recently left New York for California with the 3d Regiment of United States Artillery on board. She was seen in lat. 38.20, with her decks swept, boats lost, and wholly disabled. " Senator Gwin at once applied to the Secretary of the Navy for aid ; but there is not a Government vessel in any port fit for immediate service. The Secretary of War on being applied to by the Senator from California, ordered a merchant steamer to be chartered at once to go in 'search of thelwreck. The Secretary of the Treasury will, order several revenue cutters on the same errand. "The steamer had from 700 to 800 men on board, with three months' provisions fo r th e crew, and twelve months' provisions for the troops." The United States mail steam-ship Empire City, Captain Windle, left New Orleans at eight o'clock a.m., on the 26th ultimo, and arrived off the Moro Castle on the evening of the 28th, but was unable to enter the harbour of Havannah until next morn- Having landed her mails, and passengers and taken a supply of coal, she sailed for New York at eight a.m., of the 30th ultimo. She has a heavy cargo and 46 passengers for New York. On the night of the 3d instant, while steerin' for the light of Barnegat, she ran ashore about five miles south of the lighthouse. Every possible effort was made to back her off into deep water again, but without avail, the wind and surf causing her to swing broadside on the beach. Her passengers and their baggage were safely landed early next morning by means of the surf boat belonging to the Government station close by. Should the weather continue favourable there were still hopes of getting her off. The steam-tug Titan, Comiskey, arrived at New York on the Gth from the steam-ship Empire City, ashore at Barnegat. The vessel lies head on the beach, about four miles south of Barnegat, in a good position, with about twelve feet wat er in h er hold, and so leaky that the tide ebbs and flows in her. She has not bilged. Her cargo is composed of molasses and tobacco. The latter is under water and will be spoilt. The molasses is between decks, and °supposed to be uninjured. The Titan returned with a couple of steam-pumps, and it is fully expected she will be got off immediately should the weather hold good. The accounts of marine disasters which have lately come from the shores of the eastern states and the British provinces, have caused a great deal of feeling and anguish amongst those whose inte rests and friends are at the mercy of the winds and waves. The account of the loss of the schooner Moselle, with all her crew, is thus described by a person who saw her stranded from the shore : "At about daylight he discovered a schooner (the Moselle, of Wellfleet, Captain Raynter, from Boston for Virginia), between Btenton's Reef and the Small Reef, waterlogged and at the mercy of the sea, which was making a clear breach over her. The crew, four in number, were in the rigging. He immediately sent a man to town for aid, and then proceeded to the beach and made signs to the unfortunate men that they were seen. At that time the schooner had struck the rocks and turned over on her beam ends ; the crew had de scended from the rigging and were endeavouring, by bracing against the quarter-deck, to retain their posi tion. This they were enabled to do until three heavy seas rolled in and dashed her against the rocks heavily, and in a moment she was broken into fragments. The men were thrown into the water, and there caught at the fragments, and all but one succeeded in getting back to the remains of the quarterdeck. The one still in the water had a piece of plank, and he pushed for the share, where Mr. Bateman stood as far out as prudent; encouraging him by words. Several times the swimmer was near to the shore, and once caught hold of the. pole extended to him ; but he was washed back again, until finally seized by cramp pro bably he threw up his hands and went down within 30 feet of the shore. Two others were near toge ther on the spars, when one losing his hold, caught by the other, who tried to disengage himself, but before he could do so they both went down. The fourth had a fearful struggle with death. He was on the spars, and was repeatedly washed off, but managed to get on again, bruised, crushed, as the fragments *ere washed against him, and Mr. Bateman could hear him groan as he re ceived blow after blow, but no aid could be extended to him, and finally his strength failed, and he shared the fate of his companions. The shore is strewn with the remains of the wreck." The Central American question was before the Senate, and letters from Lord Clarendon and Mr. Harding, Q. C., were read, and the consideration of the subject was postponed to the 9th inst. Our dates from Havannah are to the 30th ult. inclusive. The sugar crop was coming in splendidly. The tobacco and coffee crops were abundant, but the former was said to be in the hands of speculators, who were reporting scarcity to enhance prices. The advent of Madame Sontag, and several other celebrated opera singers from the United States, was looked forward to with considerable anxiety by the Habaueros. Captain Bartlett, of the brig Reveille, from St. Domingo, Dec. 9, furnishes a statement of the position of affairs upon the island up to that date, which fully confirms the news relative to the arrival of a French war vessel upon the coast, the French- Ra,ytien indemnity demand of the Government at Paris, and the probable return of Paez to the Pre sidency, as the nominee of Louis Napoleon. It was thought that Paez was on board the. French war ship. Placards hostile to the existing Govern ment were circulated. Annexation to the 'United States was freely spoken of, and the presence of an American armed vessel much desired by the people. It was thought that Santa Anna could not sustain himself without foreign support, and it is not im probable that Paez may now be in power. COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, JAN. 18. The demand for money is still so urgent that stocks do not advance beyond the quotations of .last week. In all branches of trade there was a pervading dullness. Stocks, breadstuffs, and cotton were suffering under this influence, and had been un able to sustain previous prices. Freights, however, were firm and higher. Exchange on London was quoted at 109 f to 1091. rff- Tiled edaily 16 16 28 1 12 16 trtai 12 I 6 16 a via d the •emmi...l MN. msd, nrn, 50th ugh aok- ra , .12, ,01 ,~; ' ~, I
